Princess of Han

She is grounded!

Putting down the half-finished embroidery in her hand, Xu Peiyao stood up, walked gently to the window, opened it, and looked outside.

Ah Fu listened to his sister very much, and wanted to be as good as his sister and second brother, so no matter how hard it was, he still held on and strode around in the yard.

Under the sun, sweat slid down the boy's little face and soaked into his clothes. He blinked his eyes that were almost soaked in sweat and felt a little uncomfortable, and resisted not wiping them.

Suddenly seeing his sister standing by the window and watching him, Ah Fu grinned and smirked.

"elder sister!"

Xu Peiyao pursed her lips and gave her younger brother an encouraging look.She stood by the window and looked at Ah Fu, but her thoughts drifted to a few days ago unconsciously.

That day, Mother told her that the Chen family came to propose marriage and wanted to hire her as a wife for the third son of the Chen family.Just considering the situation of her own family, and comparing it with the Chen family, Xu's mother rejected this marriage because her daughter was still young and would stay for two years. .

Xu's mother didn't hide it either, and immediately drove her two troublesome sons out, took her by the hand and told her many reasons for her refusal.

First of all, Mrs. Chen is a very powerful woman. If her daughter marries the third son of the Chen family, she will have a powerful mother-in-law.Although in the past two years it has been said that Mrs. Chen is in poor health and has been bedridden for a long time, no one thinks that she will die soon.

Being bedridden for a long time, her temper will naturally become irritable and weird. Does her daughter want to serve such a mother-in-law as soon as she gets married?

Second, Mr. Chen's third son ranks in the middle of the Chen family, neither high nor low. The two elder brothers above have already married wives, and the two younger brothers below are still young. , I have to worry about my brother-in-law below.In addition, Peiyao has not reached Ji yet, and it will take at least four years before she reaches Ji.

Four years later, it was time for the two youngest sons of the Chen family to consider marrying wives.

Once Pei Yao gets married, she may not even have a chance to breathe. The Chen family is not familiar with each other, and she has to face her newly married younger siblings.

Conflicts are most likely to arise between sisters-in-law.The Chen family has a complicated relationship, and she really doesn't want her daughter, whom she loves like Pearl, to get into such troubles.

According to her idea, she wanted to choose a good son-in-law for Peiyao with a simple family, as long as she lived a good life.It's just that now, with the big fanfare of the Chen family, and the persistence of the third son of the Chen family to Peiyao for so many years, she is really afraid that in the future when Peiyao grows up, the villagers of the same age will not dare to come to propose marriage because they are afraid of the Chen family.

In that case, apart from marrying Chen Youliang, her Peiyao, she would have no choice.

It was because of this consideration that Xu's mother didn't sleep well for several days, and her hair fell all over the place because of worry.

She wanted Peiyao to gradually fade out of everyone's sight, and also prevented Peiyao from meeting with Mr. Chen San.In this way, after a long time, Mr. Chen San would not see Peiyao, maybe he would gradually forget about it, and his desire to marry Peiyao would fade away.

A few years later, when Peiyao grew up, everyone almost forgot about Chen Sangong's attachment to Peiyao. She carefully selected a prudent child and let Peiyao marry happily. Wouldn't everyone be happy.

That's why Mother Xu was so furious when she heard that Peiyao went out to meet Chen Youliang.

She was planning here, but Peiyao didn't understand her painstaking efforts at all.

Could it be that Peiyao really fell in love with the third son of the Chen family?

Xu Peiyao actually guessed what Xu's mother was thinking, so instead of feeling sad, she was a little moved.

Even if she was grounded, she was very honest, obediently staying in her room, embroidering her incomplete embroidery.

As for what happened outside during her confinement, Xu Peiyao didn't care at all.

For example, Zhu Chongba suddenly heard from a pilgrim who went to Huangjue Temple to say that the Chen family went to the Xu family to propose a marriage, and the dowry was carried all the way, enviing others. In the future, I want to marry a rich family and enjoy happiness.He finally couldn't sit still, asked Gao Bin for leave, and rushed to Xu's house to look for her, but was stopped by Xu's mother's soft nails, and then went back dejectedly.

For another example, I heard that the third son of the Chen family always went to Xu's house during this period of time. He was very gentle and elegant, and left a deep impression on people. Unfortunately, Xu's mother was indifferent and never let him see the girl he was thinking of from the beginning to the end.

When Xiu Yi was chattering and telling Xu Peiyao all these situations, she walked back to the embroidery frame, her hands were embroidering non-stop, and her expression didn't change, as if she didn't hear Xiu Yi's words, her eyes were calm and innocent Bo, the posture of the needle is flowing and flowing, with a picturesque beauty, elegant and graceful.

"Miss, did you hear what the servant girl said? Mr. Chen San is here again today. By the way, there is also the little monk from Huangjue Temple. They came in one after another, looking at each other with deep eyes. I almost thought they couldn't control their anger, and they would fight again like that day."

"Is my mother here?"

"Miss, how do you know? Madam is indeed there. Miss, you are so smart, you know what's going on outside without seeing it with your own eyes."

Xu Peiyao smiled lightly and did not explain.

"When did Chen Youliang and Zhu Chongba leave?" Niang made up her mind this time, whether it was Chen Youliang or Zhu Chongba, she would not let them meet her.Even if there is the second elder brother Xu Da to ease the atmosphere, mother will not pay attention.

"It's been a while. Miss, what do you want to do?" Sleeve stopped what he was doing, and looked at the demure and delicate girl opposite.

"Who is talking outside now?"

"Ah?" Xiuyi was stunned for a while, unable to keep up with the young lady's jumping thoughts.

Didn't you still talk about the third son of the Chen family and the monk who became a monk? Why didn't the lady continue to ask?

Although she felt strange, she restrained the curiosity on her face: "Miss, why don't you go out and have a look?"

"Well, you go."

Xu Peiyao didn't look up, she bent down, bit off the needle thread in her hand lightly, and looked at the embroidery she had spent several days with satisfaction.

Sleeve turned around and went out the door, but after a while, she walked in from the outside.

"Miss, I can see clearly, it seems to be the person living next door, the girl named Cui Niang, she is talking to Madam, Madam seems to be very happy, holding her hand, looking at her with rare gentle eyes .”

"Cui Niang?" Xu Peiyao was taken aback, "Did you hear what my mother said?"

Xiuyi looked at the young lady, hesitant.

"Is there anything you can't say?"

"No, I just think that Miss is still young and not suitable to listen to." The girl is thin-skinned, if she hadn't even begged before, she might feel shy.

"Go ahead."

"It seems to be your elder brother, Miss. Madam is going to marry him as a wife."

"Brother? My eldest brother or the second brother? No, it's not the second brother, but the eldest brother." Xu Peiyao stood up and walked around the room twice.

"Speaking of which, the elder brother's age really can't afford to delay any longer. Mother has always wanted to hold a grandson. Could it be that mother is looking at Cui Niang next door?"

"Miss?"

"Cui Niang is pretty good. She has a good temper and is diligent. She is a good match for her elder brother. In the past, my mother often praised Cui Niang as a good girl, and she would help her when she saw her. However, there seems to be no one in Cui Niang's family except her younger brother. Yes. What do you think when Mother takes a fancy to her?"

"Miss, how about I go and listen again?"

"No, when mother comes back, I'll go check on mother's words." Now that the plague is over and everything is waiting to be done, the eldest brother's marriage to a wife happens to be a celebration of joy and bad luck.

※※※※※

Mother Xu sent Cuiniang away, thinking about her daughter in the room, after thinking about it, she decided to visit Pei Yao.

When she walked out of the living room, she caught her youngest son who was poking around the door.

"Fufu, what are you doing here?"

"Mother, Ah Fu didn't do anything, really, I didn't eavesdrop." Ah Fu's head shook like a rattle, but immediately, he looked up at his mother curiously.

"Mother, is elder brother going to marry a wife?"

"You said you didn't eavesdrop? You're a kid, why are you asking so much. I'm going to see your sister with my mother." Taking her son's hand, Mother Xu walked towards her daughter's room.

Opening the curtain, she saw Peiyao sitting in front of the embroidery stand, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and it was over.

"Peyao!"

"Mother, you are here, sit down!" Xu Peiyao stood up, put down the things in her hands, and got up to greet her.

"Pei Yao, finished the embroidery? It's so beautiful. I've never seen such a pattern before. It's just that you have a flexible mind and dexterous hands, and you can embroider a lot of patterns." Fingers caressed the flowers that Pei Yao had embroidered. Mother Xu couldn't help but marvel at the appearance.

The samples she embroidered may be finer than Peiyao's needle and thread, and she has decades more craftsmanship, but when it comes to drawing flowers, her background limits her thoughts.

Mother Xu turned her body sideways, gently took Peiyao's hand and patted it.

"Pei Yao, mother won't let you go out, don't blame mother for punishing you, it's really at this juncture, mother is afraid that if you make a mistake, your life will be ruined. Mother is only your daughter, naturally she wishes you well in everything of."

"Mother, look at what you said, how can I blame you. I am your daughter, so I naturally understand your painstaking efforts."

"As long as you understand, as long as you understand." Mother Xu breathed a sigh of relief.She was afraid that Pei Yao would have a knot in her heart, that she would feel resentful towards her, and that she would be separated from her.

"Mother, were you talking to sister Cui Niang next door just now? It's about elder brother?"

"You guessed it."

Xu Peiyao nodded, a little puzzled: "Mother, why did you choose Sister Cuiniang?"

Honestly, she was surprised.
