Princess of Han

"Sister-in-law, sister Tao will turn over. I remember when I left, she was still a little pink ball." Jingying's fingers lightly poked the lotus root on the small bed, which looked like a little turtle on all fours trying to turn over. Tuanzi, Xu Peiyao smiled unconsciously, her brows were clear, and her expression had a gentleness that she didn't even realize.

Cuiniang put down the needlework she was busy with, walked over and stood beside the girl, looked down at her little daughter, and laughed too.

"It's almost one year old. After a while, I can learn to walk." This is her second child. When talking about these things, the woman is not as ignorant and flustered as she was when she was raising her son. of.

"Really? How time flies."

"Yes. I still remember when I married into the Xu family, I was full of apprehension and nervousness, and my palms were sweating. Now that I think about it, it has been several years, and I am the mother of two children. I still feel that It’s so vivid, it seems like yesterday.” Not noticing the sense of loss and the distant look in the girl’s tone, Cuiniang stretched out her finger to tease the daughter who wanted to grab her, which made Xiaotuanzi giggle.

"By the way, Peiyao, when I go out these days, the neighbors in the village are asking, what is the origin of those soldiers who look fierce at the gate of our house? They say that they stand there like the gate gods of the town house. Yes, it made people feel so frightened that they didn't dare to come to visit." It was rare for the house to be quiet for a while.

"Then how did you answer, sister-in-law?" The girl's tone was very casual.

"What else can I say, I can only haha ​​in a vague tone. I don't understand these things as a woman. It's just..." Cui Niang looked at the extremely delicate and beautiful girl beside her, a little hesitant, I don't know whether to ask or not.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want to ask?"

"Pei Yao, I heard someone from the village who once worked in Chuzhou come back and say that the third son of the Chen family seems to be very powerful in Chuzhou now, and he has set up some kind of gang. You can go to Chuzhou this time, he can say What?"

"What?" Xu Peiyao paused, her expression unchanged.

When she came back this time, there was not much turmoil in Haozhou City, and Yongfeng Township was even more calm.At least, on the surface.The people in the village still live a peaceful life, and even make a lot of noise over some trivial matters.She knew that the change in Chuzhou City had not been reported to this side, and the villagers still didn't know that Chen Youliang had raised the banner of uprising now.

Sometimes, she really doesn't know whether to lament the backwardness of information transmission in this world, or to be grateful.

Cuiniang was a little anxious: "Pei Yao, why are you not in a hurry? You have been engaged to the third son of the Chen family for several years. Now, you are seventeen, so there is no delay. Woman It's only a few years since the wedding of the young lady, once the flower letter is passed, then Mr. Chen's family will be fine, you are indeed wasting your time in vain."

Xu Peiyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister-in-law..."

"Pei Yao, you heard my sister-in-law say, this man, you have to hurry up. After a long time, something might happen. Especially that Mr. Chen San has been living in Chuzhou for the past two years, and Chuzhou is a bustling big city. Don’t be fooled by the scenery outside. If you can’t control your heart and bring back a goblin, you will be the one to worry.”

According to Cuiniang's thinking, it is natural that Pei Yao should marry into the Chen family as soon as possible, and then give birth to a few white and fat boys.At that time, the natural position is stable, and others can no longer shake your position as the head of the house.Even the Chen family, in view of your contributions to the Chen family, will give you some face.

This kind of idea, in the background of the times at that time, was an idea that almost every woman agreed with.

Xu Peiyao raised her eyebrows, her trembling eyelashes slapped lightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched a bit of coldness.

"If I'm sad, someone will hurt me! So sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about me. As a man, since you want to marry, you must observe more. If he can't stand the loneliness for a few years, what's the use of it? "

Cuiniang was taken aback: "Peiyao, don't do anything stupid, you are already engaged to the son of the Chen family, you..." Oh no, my sister-in-law won't do anything because of her words. Are you dissatisfied with the third son of the Chen family?

Judging from what Pei Yao said inside and outside the meaning, it seems that there is a taste of not getting married after a while?

How about that?Peiyao is seventeen years old, if she gets the reputation of regretting her marriage, who would dare to marry Peiyao again?

What's more, in the entire Yongfeng Township, who can compare to the Chen family?

"Pei Yao, you heard from my sister-in-law that she was just making an analogy just now, and the young master of the Chen family must be a good husband. He has been waiting for you for all these years, but he has never gotten married, and he is not too young for delaying."

"Sister-in-law, I know." Xu Peiyao was lost in thought for a moment, and couldn't help thinking of a handsome man who was far away in Chuzhou at the moment.

I don't know how he is doing now?How is the situation in Chuzhou?

"Aunt! Aunt!"

There was a sound of "Tata" footsteps outside, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a chubby figure ran in, rushed over and hugged Xu Peiyao's leg.

"Auntie, Auntie, Mother told you to go."

"Mom? Where do you want me to go?"

"Outside the big house. A lot of people came here just now, and they brought a lot of things. The aunt is talking with that beautifully dressed aunt."

"Is someone coming from outside?" Xu Peiyao was startled, and then understood.

She and her sister-in-law looked at each other, held the chubby little hand of the little nephew, and turned to go outside to have a look.

※※※※※

When he walked into the main room, a woman wearing gold and silver was sitting there, smiling and talking to Xu's mother.

Mother Xu's expression seemed to be very happy, mixed with a trace of worry, and she looked towards the yard from time to time.

When she saw the slender and graceful figure holding her grandson at the door, Mother Xu let out a sigh of relief, smiled and waved.

"Pei Yao, come here, mother will introduce you, this is the youngest mistress of the Chen family, come here and meet your wife!"

Xu Peiyao faltered, and looked up.

It was a dignified and quiet looking woman, with fine lines around her eyes, and the silk and satin all over her body could not hide the traces of time.Although he was smiling, his eyes were indifferent, and there was an undisguised arrogance between his brows.At this moment, her eyes looked over, with a bit of probing and scrutiny in her eyes, and something flashed quickly in her eyes.

Xu Peiyao noticed that the woman's brows were wrinkled indistinctly.

"Hello ma'am!"

Lowering her eyes, Xu Peiyao walked over with her nephew in her hand, blessed her body, and then stood behind her mother with a low eyebrow.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, Anshi's eyes suddenly jumped, and her expression froze.

This girl... This girl really doesn't look like a person born in this small place, no wonder her third uncle has been thinking about her since he was a child.Not to mention a man, even her child has been met by several women, isn't she amazed?

Fortunately, such a woman is her future sister-in-law, otherwise...

Thinking of the jealous Yingying Yanyan at home, An's suddenly felt lucky. Fortunately, the third uncle's temperament was cruel and violent, even his elder brother was terrified.Such a pure and enchanting daughter-in-law, I am afraid that only the third uncle can keep it.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but An's face just paused, and then he softened his expression and smiled, a little more enthusiastic than when he faced Xu's mother just now.

"Okay, okay, okay, this must be the girl from the Xu family. She is really good-looking, but she can't compare with us fish-eyed pearls. The third uncle has a really good vision. When he came, he picked up the most beautiful girl in our local area. The girl was picked out."

Xu Peiyao's complexion remained unchanged, but her eyes darkened.

pick?She doesn't like the tone of this Mrs. Chen's, it always has a sense of condescension.

Xu's mother didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong at all, she turned around and took her daughter's long white hand and patted it lightly, and said with a smile: "Madam Chen is too modest, Pei Yao is young, if there is anything wrong in the future, I also need to trouble Da Furen to teach you more."

"Mother?" Xu Peiyao suddenly lowered her head and looked sideways.

The meaning of these words is too obvious, it's not like what my mother would say here at all.Could it be...

An raised her hand, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Teaching is not enough. We will all be sisters-in-law from now on. If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me." After she finished speaking, she looked outside. It was getting dark, and then stood up.

"Mrs. Xu, it's getting late, so I'll go back first. As for this day, the two families can discuss it."

Xu's mother sent people to the door, turned around, and saw her daughter, who had been raised for more than ten years, was standing there, hesitating to speak.

"mother......"

Mother Xu was in a daze.

It has been more than ten years. From being a pussy that was so thin and weak that he could even cry like a cat when he was a baby, to the peerless Shuli who is soft, elegant and elegant, she has spent almost more effort on this child. any of her children.Even the youngest son that she got for a long time after she got old is not as fond of Peiyao as she is.

If it wasn't for the Huangjue Temple host meeting paying attention to Pei Yao, she would have almost forgotten that her fairy-like daughter was not her own daughter.

Her Fubo's daughter died when she was very young.He couldn't even speak, and before he could call his mother, he was killed by a wind and cold.

"Mother? Mother? What's wrong with you?" Seeing her mother crying suddenly, Xu Peiyao was startled, and hurried over to support her.

"Pei Yao, come in with Mother, Mother has something to tell you."

Wiping her tears with her sleeves, Xu's mother lowered her head and entered the room.
