Chapter 25
"Just kidding. This is my mother-in-law's satisfaction with my son-in-law and reward me."
Chu Qin didn't know what was wrong with her. Those memories that were obviously long ago made her panic, and cold sweat broke out.
She didn't know what to do for a while, and subconsciously just wanted to escape, she stood up, and said firmly: "I heard... Daddy is preparing for a family dinner for a while ahead, this is a matter of the house, I'm afraid Daddy is I don't know each other, I'll go and help daddy..."
After she was about to leave, Guo Ji's voice sank in dissatisfaction: "What's the matter with you?"
Chu Qin's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Guo Jishi frowned and looked at her: "I've just entered the room, I can't have a good word with my uncle before you leave? Have you forgotten the rules you taught you since childhood?"
Chu Qin hit uncontrollably. Chilled, Pei Yan's eyes were fixed on her face. Although she didn't know what was wrong with her, she could see that her face was getting worse and worse.
Guo Ji's heart was a little anxious. At this moment, her anger is fake, but her worry is real. A girl who is married out of no rules will inevitably make her husband's family unhappy, but the married woman's parents don't say much. Even if she has the title of an elder, she can't take the lead in the husband's family to discipline her.
Guo Jishi wanted to reprimand her again, but before she could speak, Pei Yan stood up: "Qinqin?" He walked in front of Chuqin a few steps, and put his hand on her arm, "Are you uncomfortable? The
concern in his words calmed her down a bit, Chu Qin raised her eyes to look at him, and hummed softly.
Pei Yan's heart skipped a beat, turned around and bowed to Mrs. Guo Ji: "I've been tired from the New Year, Qin Qin has probably not slept well for the past two days. I'll accompany her to rest for a while, and I'll come to say hello to the old lady later."
Mrs. Guo held her breath. He tried to stop him several times, but he couldn't say anything, so he nodded and said, "Go."
Pei Yan saluted Mrs. Guo again, and walked out with Chu Qin in his arms. Leaning out in his arms, he looked intimate.
Madam Guo was relieved to see their gestures, and when they were far away,
she sighed with a smile, "This son-in-law is really good." It 's too big."
Madam Guo received a scolding coldly, and looked back at her mother in amazement, puzzled.
Guo Jishi shook his head: "You should know what your son-in-law's background is - Dingguo Gongfu, that is, the prince's residence should be more polite when you go to their door. Qin'er can marry him. It's such an unruly appearance, what do you want your husband to think of her?"
Madam Guo was stunned for a while, and Guo Ji's eyes turned to the direction that Pei Yan and Chu Qinshi had just gone away, and sighed: "In front of people, they seem to be loving and harmonious. You can be decent, but you can go back and close the door. If he is wronged by Qiner, what can you do?" "Mother..." Mrs. Guo couldn't help but panic, she shook her head repeatedly, not only to help Pei Yan to defend herself, but also to be indifferent. I would like to believe, "I see this Pei Saburo is not that kind of person..." Guo Ji looked at her with hatred, and then took a deep breath: "Fortunately, it is now in our own home, we rely on the old to sell the old land. It’s not too much to persuade me a few words.” Then he looked at the servant girl who was standing silently a few steps away, “Go! Go and talk to the uncle, if not, tell him that the eldest lady will stay in the house for more. After staying for a few days, we will discuss the rules with her and send her back." The servant girl walked out without saying a word when she heard the words. Guo Ji's heart was up and down, she thought that this was Chu Mansion, Chu Qin's natal family, and the uncle should not overdo it. But Chu Qin always had to follow him back. When the door was closed, their mother's family would no longer be able to intervene. Chu Qin was alone and could only endure any hardship. So Guo Jishi thought about detaining people, and then told Pei Yan that they would help him discipline and vent his anger. It is true that if these words are released, it cannot be a false statement. Chu Qin stays at home, and the rules that should be learned must be learned, and the family law that should be moved must be changed. But in Guo Jishi's opinion, as their maiden's family, no matter how strict they are, it is for Chu Qin's good, and they won't really kill him.
Guo Ji's own sister was tortured to death like that. At that time, Guo Ji's sister had not yet been married, and she was shocked to hear that her sister, who had just been married for two years, died of a sudden illness. When she went to express her condolences, she saw her sister's body was amazingly thin, and she only said that it was caused by illness. Later, the maid by her sister's side quietly told her how much her sister had suffered in her husband's house, and said that in the coffin, the splendid body Under the dress, there are all criss-crossed whip marks and stick marks. This suffering, Guo Jishi knew that her sister had suffered, and she was very afraid when she got married. Later, she was afraid that her daughter would suffer from this crime, and now she is worried about her granddaughter. Among them, the worry about Chu Qin is the most prosperous. Because her and her daughter's marriages are still a good match, and Chu Qin is a high-ranking marriage, just like Guo Ji's sister, the lintel of Dingguo's mansion is more than a star and a half higher than her sister's husband's family. In such a marriage, if Chu Qin really had three advantages and two disadvantages in her husband's family, their mother's family couldn't do anything, they could only take precautions and try their best to make her husband's family satisfied with Chu Qin. The maid sent by Guo Ji's family hurried all the way to Chu Qin's yard. That side yard was a boudoir before Chu Qin got married, but now it has been refurbished and is now available for their husband and wife to live in. In the bedroom, the moment Chu Qin stepped into the threshold, his body became more and more weak. Pei Yan supported her and hugged her, raised his hand and stroked her forehead. Not hot. He breathed a sigh of relief and said warmly, "What's the matter? It was fine before, but why did he suddenly look so bad?" "...Nothing." Chu Qin didn't want to talk about those old things, but involuntarily leaned into his arms. Go, subconsciously want to seek a protection. Pei Yan sensed her emotions and clasped her arms tightly. She leaned against his chest and closed her eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood finally calmed down. The maid sent by Guo Jishi entered the door at this time, and Qingqiu Qingquan was guarding outside the bedroom. The maid then went straight into the door, stepped over the threshold, went around the screen, raised her head, and was stunned.
"...Uncle?" She hesitated for a while before calling out. Pei Yan looked at it, and Chu Qin opened her eyes at once, and immediately jumped out of Pei Yan's arms.
She blushed suddenly, and she didn't know where to put her eyes. Pei Yan blocked her without a trace, and asked the servant girl, "What's the matter?"
The servant girl was a person who could watch words and expressions. Seeing that they were so close, she felt that Guo Jishi didn't need to say what she told her. People who can be slaves and servants always have to do their errands well. It is a taboo to make their own decisions, so the servant woman considered it for a while, but she said it, but said it more euphemistically: "Mrs. Guo sent slaves and servants to report. , Saying that the eldest miss is rare to come home, and she is in a hurry to see her father, which inevitably breaks the rules, please don't take offense. The old lady means that it is better to let the eldest miss stay in the mansion for a few more days and accompany you more. One is to accompany the parents, one is to solve the lovesickness; the other is... the old lady can also talk more politely with the eldest lady, so as not to make jokes."
Hearing this, Pei Yan frowned, and he vaguely distinguished this. There is no other meaning between the words, the most obvious of which is... Mrs. Guo seems to want him to go back first and leave Chu Qin alone. But he had clearly asked people to talk back and forth before, saying that he would stay with Chu Qin in his parents' house for a few days.
Chu Qin, who was blocked by him, was shocked to hear every word, and she panicked, for fear that he nodded in agreement.
Pei Yan felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and when he turned around, he saw her saying to the servant girl: "San Lang has to go to the East Palace on weekdays, and I am very busy with everything in the house. Please go and tell my grandmother. , said that I was left alone because I was afraid of inconvenience, just now..." She was so nervous that her throat tightened, and she lowered her head and whispered, "I know I was wrong about what happened just now, and I will go to my grandmother later to sue my grandmother."
The servant girl Seeing her like this makes me feel distressed, but looking at Pei Yan, it's not easy to speak directly, so she lowered her eyebrows and said: "Miss don't have to go to the old lady to accuse me, the old lady is just worried about you. If you want to make her feel at ease... "..." The servant girl pointed Chu Qin's eyes to Pei Yan without a trace, "A crime must always be brought to the fore."
"I..." Chu Qin wanted to explain, but Pei Yan suddenly said, "Qinqin is not feeling well. , let her rest for a while."
His tone was suddenly stiff, and the servant girl froze, looked up at his face, and had to retreat. Pei Yan watched her exit coldly, and turned his eyes back to Chu Qin's face. His voice slowed down, but he raised doubts: "What are you playing? Are you hiding something from me?"
"No." Chu Qin lowered his head and shook his head. Shaking, his brows wrinkled, and he said, "It's...it's okay, but I don't know how to tell you."
"Come." He put his arms around her waist, hugged her to the bed, and pulled She sat down on the bed together. The two looked at each other, and she ducked a little, but he looked straight into her eyes calmly, "Speak straight, everything can always be discussed, I'm not angry with you."
Chu Qin bit her lip tightly, embarrassed worded. Seeing that she was silent, he guessed to himself: "But what is the problem at home, and you want me to help? You just say it, I will do my best."
"No..." Chu Qin shook his head.
He suddenly realized that she had just returned, and said, "If you still don't know what's going on, I'll go and ask your grandmother? The family doesn't talk about the two families, and if you go around in circles like this, you're treating me as an outsider. After he finished speaking ,
he was about to get up and go out. Chu Qin hurriedly said, "No!" At the same time, he grabbed his hand.
She choked and sighed: "Oh! It's not what you think. This is... it's what you heard just now, my grandmother really thinks that I'm not good at rules, and I'm afraid that you will be angry and want to take care of it for you. Take care of me."
"Huh?" Pei Yan sat back in a daze, "Why don't you behave well?"
He thought to himself that at Mrs. Guo's place just now, they didn't say a few words in total!
Chu Qindai frowned even more, lowered her head, and fiddled with his hands with both hands, while recalling what happened just now, she explained to him what those jokes were in Mrs. Guo's eyes. He talked about how he was disciplined and beaten when he was a child, and his eyes turned red as he spoke, and his nose followed with bursts of pantothenic acid.
Pei Yan was shocked when she heard it, and he didn't say anything for a long time after she finished speaking.
She raised her face to look at him, and her eyes were full of grievances with tears: "So... do you understand? I also want to spend more time with my parents. If you are willing to stay at home with me, I will be happy. Yes, but you can't keep me here. If your grandmother sees you nodding, she will think that you are really angry with me and will teach me a lesson."
When she said this, she somewhat wanted to hear him coax her, or perhaps It's okay to make her happy, he is the most funny person.
But he saw that he suddenly raised his hand and pinched her cheek, so he squeezed it twice and then moved it up, touching her forehead: "It's so miserable, then the two of us are really a natural match." On the
other side, the servant girl was taken by Pei Yan . After leaving it, he turned back to Guo Ji's yard to answer. When Guo Jishi saw her coming back, her back was so nervous that she was bent because of her old
age. The uncle is hugging each other, and it looks like the uncle is coaxing her." A look of
astonishment flashed in Guo Ji's eyes, he calmed down, and asked her again: "Then what you said, can you say it? "
Speaking." The maid bowed her head, "the eldest lady said that she was taking care of everything around the uncle, and it would be inconvenient for her to stay at her parents' house alone, and she also said that she would come to accuse you later. The servant persuaded her. After a few words, the uncle said that the eldest lady was not feeling well and had to rest first, so he drove the slaves away."
"Look at..." Guo Ji's heartstrings tightened, and she turned to Mrs. Guo, "You still look at this look. Don't tell me what you mean by uncle? Go and persuade! You are a mother, a mother-in-law, so talking is probably more useful!" Mrs. Guo also cared about her daughter, but she was not in the same temper as her mother, so she couldn't help clenching her teeth tightly. Lived, and said angrily: "What kind of lintel is the Dingguo Gongfu? We are not illiterate people and can be bullied at will. I am a daughter like Qin'er, if my uncle can treat her well, it will be good; If you can't, let them reconcile with each other! You are making Qin'er aggrieved both inside and out, and I won't agree!"
Madam Guo calmed down and wanted to understand. Guo Jishi has always known her temperament, and it is not surprising to her to say this, but she is angry: "You are confused! How can we offend the Dingguo Gongfu? You can make it clear that Chu Yun's future career will still be No? Do you want Qin’er’s reputation? Besides, my daughter’s family will always suffer this kind of grievance. She is a high-married woman, so she should know how to endure it.”
“Mother, Qin’er is only seventeen years old! You let her endure it. For a lifetime?" Mrs. Guo tried to calm her emotions, but her tone was still charged. The mother-daughter duo quarreled like this, and the stalemate couldn't be stopped.
When Pei Yanzhe returned to the courtyard, although he couldn't hear what was being said inside, he could hear the noise. He was afraid that he would go in and make trouble. .
The maid hurriedly went into the house to report the words, but for a moment, the quarrel in the house stopped.
When the maid came out again, he led Pei Yan in. Pei Yan stepped into the threshold, looking calm and composed: "Qin Qin Xu was upset by the bumps when he arrived just now, and he has rested." After that, he looked at Mrs. Guo, "Mother-in-law, my son-in-law really wants to Try the Dandan noodles you made."
"Oh..." Mrs. Guo calmed down and hurried out, "I'll do it."
"Thank you for your hard work." Pei Yan bowed with a smile and politely sent it out. two steps.
After sending Mrs. Guo out, he turned back into the house, and his face changed.
He didn't laugh anymore, nor was he polite. Damascus sat down on the chair in front of Guo Jishi, and said, "Grandmother, when I marry your granddaughter, I will take you as my own elder. Today we will talk about it.
" The posture was frightened, and he held his breath and winked to make everyone back down. Pei Yan knowingly waited for them to leave, and said bluntly: "There is a generational relationship between grandparents and grandchildren. You are afraid that Qinqin's life will not be good, I understand; but you do bad things with good intentions, and you can't do it with me. It was discussed step by step, and now you want her to hold me blindly and make offerings to me, and when you see us getting closer, you feel that she has been rude and you will punish her and beat her, which I cannot agree to."
Guo Ji's breathing was stagnant, and she looked at Pei Yan with a complicated expression, and said, "I'm afraid that your husband and wife will have a break!"
Pei Yan looked at her: "What are we talking about, we get along easily and naturally, you are afraid that we will have a relationship If you put etiquette and rules first and live indifferently and detached, you feel better? What's the point of this?"
"If you want to get to the bottom of things, then talk about it." Guo Ji's brows furrowed. Deeper, "I can see that the uncle likes Qin'er now, so he is willing to indulge her. But this is not a long-term solution - what if the uncle doesn't like her in the future? Will she feel that she has a bad temper? Do you think that she is not respectful enough to treat you before and after? Since ancient times, the husband has been the guideline for a wife. If she wants to live a long life, she has to put her in the right position."
Pei Yan's eyebrows jumped, and he leaned forward two points as he sat upright: " Grandma , don’t you scold me for the mad words of my junior?”
Guo Jishi was stunned: “Speak.”
Pei Yan said, “This is right and wrong, I understand your intentions are good, but What you said is true..." He cleared his throat, "It's really a fart."
"What did you say?!" Guo Jishi suddenly became angry.
Pei Yan spread his hands: "Why do I like her now, so I'm willing to indulge her? If I don't like her, I'll think she's not respectful enough? If you're worried about this, then I'll tell you the truth - if a man She's a bastard, that woman doesn't do anything, I can think she's not respectful enough, she's submissive everywhere, can I think she's uninteresting? If I'm going to be ruthless, how can she make me Can't you make a mistake? You said that she can live a long life by putting her in the right position. Is this set to work well in front of a despicable villain?"
Guo Ji's hoarseness: "I see that you are not a despicable villain..."
Pei Yan immediately asked back: "Then why are you worrying about this? If you think I'm still a person, you should believe that I can treat my wife well. If I say something unpleasant, don't take me as a provocation—Qin We have been getting along well for the past few months, but when you came back, you terrified her. You were obviously thinking of her, but you forced her to turn to me for help. This is your mother's family. What do people want to see?"
Guo Jishi couldn't help but turn pale: "She asked you for help?"
"Yes, and I have to help her with this." Pei Yan nodded, "She said that you used to do a lot to make her learn the rules. Beating her, she would kneel in the yard two of the three days at her best. I know you're doing it for her own good, but grandma, no one will be happy if you go to such a day. Isn't she worried about making her happy?"
"I..." Guo Jishi choked and wanted to say: No.
It's too hard for a woman to be "happy". She is considered "happy" in her entire life. Her daughter's marriage to a single-minded husband is a big luck. She couldn't expect her granddaughter to have the same luck, she could only hope that she would live well and live in peace.
But she didn't say these words. She remembered what Pei Yan had just said, and suddenly felt that there was some truth. If he was really a merciless person, if he had the intention to kill Chu Qin, he would be able to make mistakes, and her control over Chu Qin would be useless. Seeing that she was silent, Pei Yan struck while the iron was hot: "So she rarely comes back, so you should be kind to your grandmother and make her happy. What are you doing to scare her? You still want to detain her and punish her? I will marry her. She has only been able to watch her suffer for a few months, how can you, a grandmother, really be ruthless?" Guo Jishi sighed: "I can't be ruthless..." She shook her head gloomily, a tinge in her heart. sour. When did she punish Chu Qin when she didn't feel pain in her heart? If the child could stay at home for the rest of her life, she would be willing to spoil her and accustom her, but thinking that she would spend most of her life in her husband's house, she had to do some things. Pei Yan tutted lightly: "Well, we should be able to think of going together, don't embarrass yourself, and don't embarrass others." After that, he stood up and bowed to Guo Ji's, "If grandma doesn't tell me otherwise. , I'm going to wait for the noodles!" "...you go, you go." Guo Jishi's voice was dry, and his expression was a little dazed.
No wonder she was in a trance, Pei Yan's remarks inevitably made her feel that her thoughts for decades were wrong, and everyone should take it easy.
Pei Yan consciously said everything he needed to say, he retired when he got out of Guo Ji's yard, and asked the servant how to get to the pantry, and then went directly to Mrs. Guo.
In front of the stove in the dining room, Mrs. Guo was just busy. She is indeed delicious in making Dandan noodles, but she is not very skilled in cooking, because the eldest lady of the big family will not cook by herself every day.
So when Pei Yan came in, she was still cutting the meat slowly, preparing the scorpions for Dandan noodles. The meat used for Dandan noodles should be lean, and pork plum blossom meat is generally the most suitable.
The process of chopping the meat is always a bit tiring. Although the dandan noodles don't have to be chopped too finely, too finely, the taste is not good. Mrs. Guo was quickly sweating on her forehead. Pei Yan approached and took a look. After taking a look, she asked, "I'm coming?"
"Hey—" Mrs. Guo was startled and almost dropped the knife on the ground. He quickly grasped it, looked up at Pei Yan in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Let me see how to make this dandan noodles." Pei Yan said, "Qinqin likes to eat Sichuan cuisine in the house, but he didn't mention it. This is the first time I heard her talk about Dandan noodles today. So I don’t know if the chefs in this Dandan noodle house will know, if not, I will write down the method and go back to let them learn.”
Mrs. Guo laughed when she heard it. "She is still called Sichuan cuisine in the house? What did she call it?"
"That's a lot." Pei Yan recalled, "Boiled fish, spicy chicken, double-cooked pork, and... um, Mao Xuewang, husband and wife Lung slices..."
Mrs. Guo asked again, "Can all the cooks in your house do these?"
"Yes." He nodded, "I don't know much about Sichuan cuisine, but Qinqin said it was delicious." Mrs.
Guo listened He called "Qinqin" one by one, and he could catch a glimpse of the company in his life while speaking, and his smile became even stronger: "If they can do all these things, Dandanmian will stop talking. You go and rest. Well, it's time for lunch when this side is ready, we'll see you at the table."
Pei Yan stomped on the side and didn't leave: "I've come here..." He said while looking around, "Why don't you find me a dish of dim sum and bring it back, so that Qinqin will not be bored in the room." "The dim sum is readily available . Yes." After Mrs. Guo said that, she called someone and took a few plates of freshly made snacks for Pei Yan to put in a food box. Pei Yan said, "It's all Qinqin's favorite food." Mrs. Guo As a mother, I was overjoyed to hear this. Because those snacks are indeed Chu Qin's favorite, and he can say this, it can be seen that life is peaceful. Pei Yan walked away with the snacks in his hand. When Chu Qin, who was lying on the bed, saw him coming back, he sat up and said, "What did you say to my grandmother?! " , you look like I'm a bully." "...That's not what you mean." Chu Qin pursed her lips, "It's just that my grandmother is old, I'm afraid you speak too straight." "Speak straight is also learned from you. ." Pei Yan shook his head. He didn't have such a temper in the past. It was what she said in front of him that made him feel relaxed, and he learned everything. As he spoke, he walked to the bed and put the food box on the small table by the bedside: "Don't worry, I didn't make grandma angry. Have some snacks first?" Chu Qin turned to look and asked, "grandmother gave it?" "How can it be? I went to the pantry to steal it." Pei Yan said earnestly. She widened her eyes all of a sudden: "Why, I'm good at it, right?!" After stealing in her house, she went to her parents' house to steal it? ! "Hahaha." Pei Yan stared at her and smiled. He sat down safely beside the bed, and confidently gave himself gold, "Just kidding. This is my mother-in-law's satisfaction with my son-in-law and reward me." "… ..." Chu Qin looked at him speechlessly. But the tension and fear that he had caused because of his grandmother just now faded away after being disturbed by him.
The author has something to say:
Qin Qin: What did you say to my grandmother?
Pei Yan: Don't worry, I'm not angry with her.
Grandmother and Mother: God damn it, I actually have a heart attack.
Qinqin: Where did the dim sum come from?
Pei Yan: My mother-in-law is satisfied with my son-in-law and will reward me.
Mother-in-law: God damn, you didn't tell me that.
