Chapter 796 Chapter 796
Liu Yun was also of the age to discuss marriage. Pei Qiuyun had taught these people in the family a lot about how to be a wife in the future. In the Prince's Mansion, she had followed her sisters since she was a child and received the teachings of her mother.
Now when she said this, there wasn't even a trace of girlish naivety in her voice.
Pei Qiuyun snorted coldly, "I dare not. The most favored maidservant in front of the fourth sister-in-law is also a scarred wife. Anyone with a little bit of beauty cannot enter Shaohua Garden."
Liu Wan didn't quite believe it.
"If a man wants to take a concubine, a woman can't stop him. I think it's not just my fourth aunt who is so powerful."
Whoops!
Pei Shuyu became even more displeased when he heard this.
Liu Wan looked cold and aloof, but unexpectedly she could speak up for Song Guanzhou who was making things difficult for her mother.
"Sister Wan doesn't know that Fourth Sister-in-law is very important to Fourth Cousin. If someone covets her, she will throw a tantrum and do something outrageous."
Pei Shuyu didn't finish her words when Pei Qiuyun snorted, "At the beginning of the year, a young lady from a mansion actually beat up a prostitute at the gatehouse, making the whole capital laugh—"
God!
The two sisters couldn't hide their surprise when they heard this, "Aunt Four is actually fussing over those things outside?"
Pei Qiuyun sneered, "She did some capable things in the mansion, but Fourth Brother tolerated it. If she were a capable man, he would have wanted to divorce her long ago."
The four of them, accompanied by seven or eight maids, walked and talked slowly towards the second room.
Qin Ge'er brought his two younger brothers and crawled out from the bushes beside them after they left. Pei Yulin beside him spat, "Second Aunt and Shuyu Aunt actually said bad things about Fourth Aunt!"
"Both aunts have the surname Pei, how could they fabricate rumors about Fourth Aunt with outsiders!"
"Brother, I heard Shuangyue and Aunt Chu say yesterday that my eldest aunt almost slapped my fourth aunt in the mouth yesterday."
Pei Yuqin looked at him and said, "Second brother, my aunt is the princess of a county, how could she be so abrupt?"
"What the eldest aunt did was inappropriate. Shuangyue was very excited when she came, but she didn't hit him because the fourth aunt... left the eldest aunt and mother and ran away."
It’s good to run away!
Pei Yuqin snorted heavily, "My aunt is not a decent person, she doesn't behave like a royal relative at all, humph!"
The two boys ran out to play, and soon the servants came over and said that the master wanted to test them on their homework.
Pei Yuqin was only in his teens, but he was already sensible. He thought of what his mother had said to Lanxiang in private, and he suddenly understood.
He sent the servant to stay far behind and whispered to Pei Yulin, "What do you think of the third cousin who just came to the Prince's Mansion?"
Pei Yulin glared, "Liu Yun, huh? I remember her, she's such a talkative woman!"
"I was smarter at that moment. My grandfather asked my brother and I to write a poem and couplet. I just pretended I didn't know."
what?
Pei Yulin was puzzled, "If you know but don't answer, you will be beaten."
Pei Yuqin snorted, "So you want to marry a girl like Liu Yun into your mansion?"
"Brother..., what are you saying? I'm still young..."
Small!
"You are only one year younger than me!"
Nine years old, ten years old, that’s also ten years old. If we talk about their virtual age, they are two years older. After all, both children were born in the twelfth lunar month, so they are at both ends.
Pei Yulin stammered when he heard this, "Brother, this is not something you can talk about."
uh-huh!
believe it or not!
When they arrived in front of Pei Jian and looked at the room full of elders, the two children couldn't help but feel nervous. As expected, Liu Ke thought of his own weak prince and sighed that if he could look like the two brothers in front of him, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
A father should be a good teacher.
He simply chose a passage from The Doctrine of the Mean, "Be well-learned, be inquisitive..." and asked the two children to recite it separately. Pei Chen, Pei An and Xu Lingbai had tested the two children early on, and they all could recite it fluently.
But today, Pei Yuqin hesitated a little and tried to recite it with difficulty. While stumbling, he kept looking carefully at his grandfather and fourth uncle. Seeing this, Liu Ke sighed quietly, the eldest son of the Pei family was dead, and this child's upbringing was not very good.
After all, his young master had already read the Four Books fluently.
When Pei Yulin was asked about the deeper meaning of this, he looked around and finally bowed his head and said, "Uncle, this paragraph roughly means... it means to think carefully... and then... do something after you have thought carefully."
Not much better than Pei Yuqin.
Pei Chen got angry when he heard it, "Weren't you able to recite it a few days ago?"
Pei Yulin shrank back in fear at the sound of him reciting his father's name, "...I can recite it...but...I can't remember the deep meaning."
Seeing Pei Chen was about to raise his hand, Pei Jian coughed heavily.
Liu Ke smiled lightly, "The child is still young, why is Chen Ge so impatient? Can you carry him?"
Pei Chen: ...I forgot it long ago!
In order not to spoil the fun, Pei Jian asked a few more questions, but the two children answered haltingly, and most of them were not as fluent as usual.
Liu Ke waved his hand, "I'm sorry to embarrass my two nephews."
Pei Jian sighed, "Ah! Too many people will make you nervous. How can you accomplish anything? It's still a long way from being a useful person..."
There is a great sense of sadness that there is no one to succeed.
Liu Ke waved his hand, "Father-in-law, you are too anxious. The two brothers are only in their teens. It is not time for them to be enlightened yet. Don't be anxious."
At noon, the mansion arranged a small courtyard for the prince and his wife to rest temporarily.
After personally sending Liu Ke to take a short nap at noon, Pei Jian and Pei Chen waved goodbye to the Pei Chen brothers, and the two brothers returned to Zhengxian Pavilion together.
"Brother, I heard from the prince that after attending the funeral, he will return to southern Yunnan."
"I heard that Yunniang will stay until the New Year—"
Pei Jian was talking halfway when he looked at his eldest daughter Pei Qiuyun who was standing in front of the door. She was only with Aunt Cha at the moment, and said, "Mrs. Yun, please meet father and second uncle. There were so many people here just now, so it wasn't a good time to pay respects to you two elders."
"Didn't you rest with the prince?"
Pei Qiuyun lowered her eyes and sighed, "My daughter has something on her mind, and she wants to tell her father in person."
Pei Chen roughly understood what was going on after hearing this. He looked at his brother and sighed, "Yunniang has traveled thousands of miles and must be exhausted. Brother, please be patient and talk to her carefully."
What could it be said so mysteriously? It's nothing more than the sister-in-law being imprisoned in the small Buddhist temple.
Pei Chen had mentioned this to Pei Jian a long time ago. Pei Jian waved his hand. He had a close relationship with his brother and did not hide it. Pei Chen listened and said, "Forget it. Brother, you have done your utmost with this plan."
Now that Pei Qiuyun has come, she must ask for an explanation on behalf of her mother.
As a child, this kind of filial piety is understandable.
Pei Chen came to Linchuan and asked him to take him to An Ge'er's room. "Your fourth son is good at chess. I'm going to play a few games with him."
Pei Qiuyun saw this, tears welled up in her eyes, and she knelt down to Pei Chen, "Thank you, uncle, for your consideration, niece."
Pei Chen was about to turn around and leave, but after hearing this, he turned around, helped Pei Qiuyun up, and said earnestly:
"Your father did this all for you."
