Ajiu

Chapter 10
I am convinced of you, I want to learn from you, and live a happy life in the future!Ajiu smiled sweetly at Lin Youhui and babbled to express her admiration.Considering that Lin Youhui couldn't understand her Martian language at all, she poked her head into Lin Youhui's arms again.

Lin Youhui smiled lovingly, with gentle eyebrows, "Ajiu likes mother, right? She is really a good baby of mother." He hugged Ajiu and patted her softly, coaxing her to sleep, "Little baby, you should go to sleep."

I don't want to sleep, I want to listen to you and learn from you!Ajiu really wanted to call on Lin Youhui to express more ideas, but Lin Youhui patted her gently and sang a soothing lullaby, and Ajiu fell asleep unconsciously after listening to it.

Ah Jiu showed a sweet smile in her sleep, Lin Youhui looked at her fascinatedly, her heart was drunk. "Sanggong..." Lin Youhui raised his head subconsciously, wanting to ask her husband to come and see Ajiu together, only then did he remember that Zhonglang had drunk and was placed on the Luohan couch in the outer room by himself.

"Poor Zhonglang." Lin Youhui sighed faintly, showing pity for her husband who was sleeping outside.Caught between the elder brother and the third younger brother since he was a child, he is the one who will give in the most, poor Zhong Lang.

Lin Youhui coaxed little Ajiu to sleep, got out of bed in draped clothes, and walked to the outside room.Tonight is a full moon night, the moonlight shone in faintly, Second Master Pei was sleeping peacefully on the Arhat couch, snoring slightly.Somehow, though, he was not covered properly, leaving his arms exposed.

"You are so old and you can't cover yourself with a quilt. Do you know when it's cold?" Lin Youhui frowned slightly, walked over slowly and sat beside him, stretched out his hand to hold the quilt, and wanted to cover it for him.

"Miss me?" The person on the bed let out a low laugh, "Miss doesn't want to part with me, does she?" Lin Youhui was startled, "You haven't fallen asleep?" Just as he was surprised, his slender palm was firmly held by him. Hold it, you can't break it anymore.

Under the moonlight, Second Master Pei looked at his wife with a smile, and said in a low voice, "I'm tired and sleepy, but I go to bed alone, and I can't sleep alone." The eyes are lazy and affectionate, which is even more heart-pounding.

Lin Youhui's hand was firmly held by him, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he blushed involuntarily.

"We usually use this arhat couch as a seat, but it's quite comfortable to sleep on, and it can sleep two people! My lady, do you believe it?" Second Master Pei asked courteously.

"I don't believe it." Lin Youhui said coquettishly.

"It's really possible, come and try if you don't believe me!" Second Master Pei smiled and pulled his wife over.

……

Grandma Pei, Mrs. Gu took her maids and mother-in-law to inspect the house up and down, and told the person on duty to be careful before returning to the room.After washing, she sat in front of the vanity mirror, and the maid combed her long hair.

"Grandma, you are overjoyed! Uncle won the exam this year, and next year, he will be a Jinshi!" The maid had a sweet mouth, combing her long hair carefully, and saying happy words with a smile.

Gu Shi smiled slightly, stared intently at the person in the mirror, and did not answer.

The door curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged woman with delicate features walked in, "Grandma, all the items I sent to the capital for the uncle have been arranged according to your instructions." Mrs. Gu looked at her kindly, " That's great." The maid also laughed and joked, "Nurse Du, you are old in handling things, and you can handle everything properly, we juniors, we should learn from you."

"The mouth is so sweet." Madam Du smiled and praised the maid.

Mrs. Gu sent the maid out.

The maid smiled and saluted and left. Madam Du took the comb, combed Mrs. Gu's hair slowly, and counted all the items in order, "...you have been looking forward to it for so many years, and today is finally fulfilled. Uncle, there are plenty of days to be prosperous, you, just follow and enjoy the blessings."

Gu's face was smiling at first, but his eyes darkened when he heard this, "Two or three thousand people will try, but only two or three hundred people can pay tribute! One out of ten, I don't know..."

It is so difficult for him to pass the examination, will the Jinshi be successful?I really dare not think about it.

"I will definitely win." Madam Du said firmly, "I went to Hanshan Temple to ask for a lottery for you, and I got the lottery! I also asked the penance master to release the lottery. The master said that whoever gets this lottery will surely get what he wants. "

"Really?" Gu's eyes were full of joy, and her otherwise ordinary face became beautiful and vivid.

Madam Du looked at her distressedly, "Really, for sure!"

Gu Shi smiled comfortably.

"You've finally made your mark." Madam Du murmured, "Since you married into Pei's family, you were unfamiliar with the place at the beginning, and you lived in fear and trembling. Later, you gave birth to the eldest young master and the second young master one after another. Have you gained a foothold in your husband's family? However, Pei's family has married two daughters-in-law one after another, each born higher than the other. Sister-in-law and daughter-in-law are so powerful, you, as a sister-in-law, have to put up 12 energy to deal with it, and you really can't sleep well. Said It seems that the master is really serious, what does the second son-in-law and the youngest son-in-law do with such a good family background, it is really superfluous."

The eldest son's daughter-in-law should be the one with the best family background, able to overwhelm and control the younger sister-in-law.The family is peaceful when the younger sister and daughter-in-law are docile and submissive in front of the elder sister-in-law.

Madam Du respected Prefect Pei very much, but she was quite critical of his picky eyes on the second son's wife and the youngest son's wife.

In normal times, Madam Du would not dare to say this.At this moment, she was so happy that she couldn't bear it anymore.

If the two sisters-in-law of the Pei family were born in a small family, Gu, the eldest sister-in-law, would have to worry a lot.

Madam Du felt very sorry for Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was also in a good mood, so she didn't scold her, and said with a smile: "You don't know the inside story, and you wronged a good person. The second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law are all begged by the bride's family."

In the Lin family, Governor Lin and Prefect Pei knew each other very well, and their family members often came and went. Over time, Governor Lin took a fancy to Second Lord Pei. "Give me your second child as my son-in-law." Governor Lin said directly to Prefect Pei. What can Prefect Pei say?I can only nod.

The Xu family was also opened by Wei Guogong himself.When Taishou Pei was young, he went to Beijing to participate in an examination. On the way, he encountered a group of bandits who murdered and robbed them, and almost died.At that time, it happened that the Wei State Highway was passing by, and Prefect Pei was rescued.With this kindness, no matter what Wei Guogong asks, Taishou Pei will agree, let alone marry Xu's daughter as the youngest daughter-in-law?Prefect Pei immediately agreed.

Mrs. Gu remembered clearly that that year her father-in-law went to Beijing to report on his work, and when she came back, her mother-in-law started busy with the third child's marriage. "Okay, how did the eunuch, a civil servant, think of marrying Wei Guogong's mansion?" Mrs. Gu was also very puzzled, but it was Uncle Pei who told her that she woke up like a dream.

After hearing this, Madam Du stayed for a while.Dare the second grandma and the third grandma both rush to marry into Pei's family?I really can't tell.Given their family backgrounds, they can definitely marry into a more powerful family, and there is no problem at all.

They are all the daughters-in-law of the family, the darlings of their parents.

"What are you trying to figure out?" Madam Du muttered in a very low voice while combing Mrs. Gu's hair carefully.

Looking at her radiant self in the mirror, Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "The Pei family has a simple population, and the parents-in-law are kind. What's wrong? It's their good fortune that they can marry into the Pei family. Not to mention other benefits, just don't use it." Being naughty with concubines is something no one can ask for."

Madam Du was very disapproving.What happened to the concubine's room?If you want to be a concubine, you have to take care of a concubine, isn't it like killing an ant, so easy?However, she didn't want to be stubborn or against the grandma, so she said with a smile: "You are very right, this is the truth! Now that the uncle has won the exam, he will be a Jinshi next year. You, you can be regarded as the top! "

Gu Shi smiled slightly, very reserved.

When Ah Jiu was seven or eight months old, Second Master Pei became busy again: the capital needed a lot of gold bricks to renovate the palace.Gold bricks are supplied by Lu Tomb in Suzhou as usual.

Gold bricks are of course not really made of gold, but a high-quality floor tile.Because of its firm and fine texture, it sounds like metal when knocked, so it is named "golden brick".

"Why do you want to build a palace again?" Lin Youhui wondered.

"Come back tonight and tell you in detail." Second Master Pei hurried away before he could explain.

This day, a guest came to Pei's house, bringing a little girl who was the same age as Ah Jiu.This little girl was only three days older than Ajiu, but she was slightly smaller than Ajiu. She was thin and cried a lot.

As for Ajiu, she is chubby and loves to laugh.

Ajiu and the little girl sat together, forming a stark contrast.

The little girl's mother burst into tears, "Cousin, look, am I wrong? My eldest sister is really a poor girl."

Ajiu would see some guests from time to time, but she rarely saw guests cry at Pei's house, so she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.She looks about 20 years old, she should be considered a beauty, her facial features are good, and she can dress well, but there is a trace of sadness between her brows that does not match her age.

"This is a bitter woman." Ajiu concluded.

The third grandma of the Pei family, Xu Shi, had a helpless smile on her face, "Okay, where do you start? The eldest sister is a good child, but she is a little thinner, just need to take care of her."

Your daughter has a grandmother, a father and a mother, how can she be called a "poor child"?If this word spreads to your husband's family, it will only displease your mother-in-law and husband-in-law.

Lin Youhui watched coldly from the side, feeling very surprised.Because of Wei Guogong's life-saving grace, whenever Xu's relatives arrive, the Pei family will always receive them with great grandeur.However, the Zhao family in front of him, the cousin of Xu's third sibling, the aunt of Nanxiong Hou Wu, and the wife of Qianhu Meiren are really eye-opening.

The first time you came to visit as a guest...were you crying?
What you know is that you are wronged, but what you don't know is that the Pei family has done something to you.

This is not the etiquette of being a guest.

Lin Youhui frowned slightly.
