Princess of Han

"Mother, what do you want to say to your daughter?" Entering the room, Xu Peiyao hesitated at the door, then walked over, sat gently beside her mother, and looked up.

Noticing the complexity of Mother's expression, she suddenly became nervous.

What will my mother tell her?Could it be that her godfather told her about that year?About her background?

"Pei Yao, what do you think of this piece of fabric? It was sent by the lady of the Chen family just now, just to cut a few more clothes for you. When you get married and come to your in-law's house in the future, you won't be caught by the Chen family if you dress too shabby. People look down on you." Xu's mother was picking up and down several pieces of cloth on the table without looking up, so she didn't notice that her daughter was unusual at the moment.

"Mother, is this what you want to tell me?" Xu Peiyao had a weird expression on her face, as if she hadn't recovered for a while.

"That's right. I was still worried before, fearing that there might be some changes in the marriage of the Chen family. After all, our family background is not obvious, and the family is not right. Even if Mr. Chen will not change his mind, what about Mr. Chen? What about the rest of the Chen family? I heard that Mr. Chen's stepwife brought some kind of relative from his hometown, and now he lives in the Chen family. "

Because she is in-laws with the Chen family, she pays special attention to the Chen family.

At first, she didn't think it was a problem, but since Peiyao came back, Mr. Chen was not there, she felt a little uneasy.During this period of time, there were many discussions in the village. After hearing a lot, her calm heart began to shake, and she became anxious and anxious.

"The Chen family brought someone back? Who is it?" The girl's face was calm, and her expression didn't change much. But if you pay close attention, you can find that her eyes are fixed, and she is a little more serious and attentive than usual.

"Mother is not very clear about this, but she is a beautiful young lady. There are still three young masters in the Chen family who are not married."

Xu Peiyao narrowed her eyes slightly: "I remember that the Chen family's stepwife seems to have an awkward position in the Chen family."

The death of Chen Youliang's mother, Mrs. Chen, had a great impact on Yongfeng Township. Everyone basically knew that they didn't think highly of the new Mrs. Chen.Even if she is the new wife of Master Chen of the Chen family, she has been gossiped by her neighbors for a long time.

"No matter how embarrassing her status is, she is under the pressure of her seniority. If she is in the name of being good for the Chen family, who can say anything about her? Fortunately, the third son of Chen has already engaged you. Wait for a while When you get married, mother will feel at ease. Third Young Master Chen is working in Chuzhou, and when the time comes, he will take you in too, so he can live comfortably by himself, without having to face the complicated relationship in the Chen family's backyard."

Xu's mother was just worried, their family relationship is simple, whether Pei Yao has seen the terrible backyard of those big families, don't know if it will be a disadvantage.

Chuzhou?

Xu Peiyao looked solemn.

"Mother, what did you just say? The eldest lady of the Chen family came over just now, but what did she tell you?"

Mentioning this, Xu's mother couldn't help but smile all over her face: "Mrs. Chen came here to discuss the date of marriage between you and Mr. Chen. Although Mr. Chen has not come back yet, the Chen family has sent someone to deliver a letter. I believe it will be impossible." After a while, Third Young Master Chen will come back."

"Wedding date?" Xu Peiyao was startled, "Mother, this is not urgent for now, I still have very important things to discuss with you and Dad."

"What is so important, nothing is as important as your marriage now. Peiyao, you are not young anymore. When you got engaged to the Chen family, it should be presided over by Huangjue Temple. Your marriage It was delayed. Now that the Chen family has kept their promise and Gao Bin has found the host, your marriage cannot be delayed any longer."

It's been two years, and if it goes on, I'll be an old girl.

Xu's mother put down the cloth in her hand, took her daughter's hand and patted it, and said earnestly: "The Chen family is kind this time, and they didn't let Mrs. Zhao come over. The marriage between Mr. Chen and you is the responsibility of Mr. Chen and him." The eldest daughter-in-law is taking care of it, which is enough to give us face. Pei Yao, this time you can't let your petty temper say you don't want to marry."

Knowing that her daughter might not be willing to marry Mr. Chen San, Mother Xu sighed.

"The situation in our family is like this. Even if my mother is reluctant to keep you for a few more years, it will delay you."

"mother!"

"Look at Ah Zhuo, now that she has children, her life is prosperous. At the beginning, she didn't marry the Tang family's children as she wished, so didn't she feel unwilling? Look at the present. She has only tried, Only then will you know which one is the most suitable for you. What you like may not necessarily be right.”

Xu Peiyao was silent.

She had said this to Ah Zhuo back then.Later, I don't know what happened, and A Zhuo finally made up his mind to marry her current husband-in-law.

A Zhuo's husband is not from Yongfeng Township, but from Suzhou.

At the beginning, because of Tang He's relationship, A Zhuo's reputation in the village was not very good.Almost everyone knew about the two of them, and they were even happy to watch Liu Daxiu's family chasing Tang Hexuan all day long.Even if Azhuo no longer agrees to Tang He in the end, no one is willing to marry such a daughter-in-law who is not clear with other men.

In the end, Azhuo recruited a foreigner, Fu Youde who was passing through Yongfeng Township and was going to Dangshan.

She didn't get along with that person very much, so she didn't know much about him.However, I heard from my elder brother that he has a down-to-earth temperament, is willing to endure hardships, is very hardworking, and has a tall body. He is a good hand at farm work both at home and outside.

For this reason, Liu Daxiu was very happy, and couldn't keep his mouth shut all day long.

Only by comparing can we know whether it is good or bad.Compared with the delicious and lazy soup, Fu Youde is so much better than 01:30. Even Azhuo has to admit that she no longer chooses willfully this time, which may be the most important turning point in her life.

However, this has nothing to do with what she will ask later.

The girl was silent for a long time, and she had already made a decision in her heart.She raised her head and looked directly at Mother Xu.

"Mom, I want to ask you something!"

"What's the matter? Peiyao, what's the matter with you, you look a little bad, is it because of the marriage that the Chen family said?"

"Mother, am I not your biological child?" After saying this, Xu Peiyao kept observing her mother's expression.

Xu's mother was taken aback, and then her face changed greatly: "Nonsense! Pei Yao, don't listen to other people's nonsense, how could you not be my daughter? I raised you so much, who dares to talk nonsense, see if I don't come to your door Rip her mouth out."

Xu Peiyao's heart sank, but she understood.

It seems that what godfather said is true, he really adopted him to the Xu family.In fact, in the past few years, as she got older, people in the village have chewed their tongues in private, saying that she doesn't look like the Xu family at all.In the past, she didn't think about it, so naturally she didn't take it seriously and didn't take it seriously.But now...

"Mother, when I come back this time, I'm going to take you, father, elder brother and sister-in-law away."

"What, leave? Peiyao, where are you going to take your mother and your father? This is our home, and it will be the season of harvesting rice soon. How can we go?" Hearing that he was going out, Xu The mother's attention was diverted immediately, and there was a trace of worry between her brows.

"Go to Chuzhou!"

"Chuzhou?" Mother Xu's expression was astonished, she obviously didn't expect her daughter to say that suddenly.

Knowing that her mother might have lost her mind, Xu Peiyao walked over and held her mother's arm.

"Mother, seeing you so happy before, I never had the heart to say it. Chen Youliang rebelled against the imperial court in Chuzhou and seized the Chuzhou mansion. The reason why he didn't come back with me this time is because Chuzhou couldn't do without him. Father and Ah Fu, the godfather was captured by the imperial army before, was injured, and is currently recuperating."

Xu's mother felt that the world was spinning for a while, and when her body softened, she was about to fall down.Fortunately, Xu Peiyao had the foresight to quickly support her body.

"Mother, don't worry, it's not that serious. Listen to me..."

Mother Xu's eyes darkened, and her tone was rarely rushed and anxious.

"What do you say? Rebellion, this will implicate the nine families. Don't say that the Chen family is engaged to us, they are from the same township. Just thinking about it makes me feel scared. The imperial court doesn't treat us Han people as human beings. Once this happens, there is no way for us to survive. Peiyao, hurry up and let your father come back, we must withdraw from the Chen family, and we must not have any relationship with them."

"Mother," Xu Peiyao didn't move, and helped her to sit down, "Calm down first, and listen to me!"

Before, she knew that her parents would definitely be shocked if they knew about this, so she remained silent for a long time.Fortunately, the imperial court is too busy to take care of themselves now, and they still have time.

Turning around, she poured a glass of water on the table, and gently handed it to her mother. Xu Peiyao stood beside her, pinching her shoulders unhurriedly, and whispered softly.

"Mom, my second brother and I went to Chuzhou this time. Thanks to Chen Youliang, we rescued our godfather. Chen Youliang would rebel, except for his own ambition, but it was mostly forced by the situation. Among them, he joined the Bailian sect because of me." If he rebelled just because of his own ambition, I would naturally be willing to listen to you. But now, if I do this, wouldn't I be suspected of being ungrateful?"

She didn't want to do such a heartless thing.

Mother Xu took a sip of water and finally recovered.

She turned her head and looked at Peiyao: "Peiyao, is Gao Bin the host..." She vaguely remembered that Peiyao seemed to have mentioned that the host of Huangjue Temple was captured by the White Lotus Sect ?

"Mother, I know that you may be reluctant to let you and dad give up this land. We are only leaving temporarily, and we will come back later. Our land can be rented to the people in the village for planting first. When Haozhou is safe, we No more worries, isn't it the same that we keep coming back?"

Xu's mother felt flustered at a glance, and her heart was in a mess.

"Can we come back? Peiyao, what if..." She grabbed the girl's hand tightly with a horrified expression.

"In case, the Chen family is captured by the court, we..."

"Mother, you have to trust your daughter. Even if the Chen family fails, I have a way out. Our family will be safe." Patting her mother's back lightly, Xu Peiyao used her internal energy to calm her mother's chaotic emotions.

Perhaps the young girl's composure infected Xu's mother, and she gradually calmed down.

"Mother originally wanted to discuss it with your father. The wedding date between you and the Chen family is set before the autumn harvest. Now it seems that it is really impossible." Mother Xu let out a foul breath and smiled wryly.

This incident happened so suddenly that she really couldn't bear it.

"Mom, there's no rush."

She is really not in a hurry!Marrying early and marrying late, according to her thinking, is naturally more free and unrestrained now.

"You, I don't know what you are thinking in your heart. Why are you so calm? Which girl is not in a hurry if you are not married at your age. Now, such a big thing happened again, you and Chen San How long will the young master's marriage be delayed?"

Xu's mother suddenly remembered something, and turned her head suddenly: "By the way, what did Mr. Chen say, Mrs. Chen suddenly came to the door today, did he want to arrange your marriage first?"

He wanted to, but it wasn't the time.

"Mother, no matter what the Chen family means, we can't stay in the village for the time being. Naturally, we don't need to worry about the Chen family. When everything settles down in Chuzhou, it won't be too late to discuss the marriage." She brought so many people back, But not just to escort her back.

Those guards are more for the safety of the journey back this time.

"This...Pei Yao, this is not good. If we just go there, what will the Chen family think of you?"

Her daughter rushed to Chuzhou before she got married, and others would definitely gossip about her.

No wonder Mrs. Chen came to the door suddenly today.

If the date of the marriage is fixed, it means that the marriage will be arranged in Chuzhou, not only their family, but also the Chen family, can also leave in a mighty way without arousing the suspicion of everyone in the village.

Mother Xu's eyes lit up, and she suddenly figured it out.

"No, it seems that this marriage has to be 'discussed' with the members of the Chen family. By the way, what time is it now, have your father and elder brother come back? This matter is very important, I have to ask Your father and your elder brother."

"I'll go out and have a look." Although I don't know what my mother has figured out, as long as she is willing to leave, her goal of coming back will be achieved.

Xu Peiyao turned around and went out, walked through the yard, opened the gate and was about to see if her father and elder brother came back from the village entrance.No, as soon as she showed up, she heard an excited voice.

"Peyao!"
