Husband, Have Dinner

Chapter 73: Knot

Cui Mengzhang woke up again, feeling cold and sweating.

Pei Zheng, who was on the same couch, slept peacefully and woke up immediately after a little movement. His eyes were so clear that he was not asleep. He turned his head to the side. His beautiful and dignified little wife was panting like a dehydrated fish. He patted her back comfortably. .

Unexpectedly, Cui Mengzhang bounced away in panic, dodge his touch.

Pei Zhengwen's hand froze in the air, he slowly put it down and asked, "You have been having nightmares these days."

He said plainly.

Cui Mengzhang shrank to the wall before realizing what she had just done, and pursed his lips. "Master Hou, I..."

"Something makes you uneasy," he asked.

Cui Mengzhang wiped off the sweat from his head, lay down again, and tucked the quilt, for fear that Pei Zhengzheng would be angry, thinking and saying, "I read a storybook a few days ago. It was a story about ghosts, monsters and monsters in the mountains. It's terrible. I didn't realize it, but I kept dreaming at night."

In fact, she did have something in her heart. Since receiving Pei Shuo's family letter and learning that he and Pei Xingzhi are on the way back to Beijing, a big rock has been hanging from her heart. She had escaped past the first day of the new year and the fifteenth. She could leave Pei Shuo in Nanxun County on the grounds that the Mid-Autumn Festival was short and she had just entered the cottage just to adapt to study. Now, as the New Year is approaching, she has no reason to prevent Pei Shuo from returning.

If she wanted to stop, Pei Zhengwen would not agree, nor would her father-in-law agree.

It can be thought that the evil **** is coming back, which will greatly affect her fate, her heart is weighed heavily by the boulder. So I always dreamed at night, dreaming that Pei Shuo was coming to take her life, and then calculating the time, he arrived in the capital within these two days, and she had nightmares more frequently. However, she could not say these words to Pei Zhengwen. Can hold it in my heart.

Pei Zhengwen said, "Monsters and ghosts are terrible? I'm afraid my evil **** will influence you."

Cui Mengzhang's heart slammed, and he screamed badly. Did her reaction hurt Pei Zhengwen?

Since she married into Pei’s mansion, the cost of food and clothing is naturally not a problem. She is the biggest mistress in the mansion. There is no mother-in-law and no sister-in-law. Keep your duty, have a happy life, there is no worry at all.

If there are still regrets, it is Pei Zheng's attitude towards her, and the evil **** Pei Shuo who will affect her life.

The former respected her as a guest, respectful but not close, and the latter, she couldn't ask Pei Shuo to send Pei Shuo far away, stay away from him and not let him affect her life.

"What the Lord Hou said, you are everyone's hero, and also the hero in my heart." Cui Mengzhang took advantage of this to get close to Pei Zhengwen, resting his head on Pei Zhengwen's chest, his heartbeat thumping and thumping.

But as soon as she fell on the pillow, he moved her position so that she was resting on his arm, away from his chest, and that hand stroking her long hair. Cui Mengzhang felt a little lost, and changed his mind to change the subject, "Shuoer's return should be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Should I ask a cook to pick them up?"

"In these two days, I'm going to the outskirts of the army camp to order soldiers, so I shouldn't be able to come back in time. Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi are still young, so they won't be able to catch the wind and dust. Give them an extra dish. Go to sleep."

Cui Mengzhang nodded and slowly closed his eyes.

Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi only came back in the afternoon.

Seeing that the carriage was parked, the servant helped Pei Shuo unload the carriage in a hurry, and carried the luggage down from the carriage.

Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi's faces were slightly tired after being in the dust for days.

As soon as they stepped into the door, the maid handed them the twisted veil to cleanse their face, Bai Yun followed behind Pei Xingzhi, her eyes could not help but look everywhere, this is the Pei family, the founding mansion!

It's just that.

No gorgeous decoration, grand pomp.

There are fewer than five maids, and their ordinary appearance is not as good as those in other courtyards. The materials are still comfortable. The granite bricks under their feet reveal a rough breath. The courtyard is square, not as good as those in Nanxun County. The courtyard is exquisite and beautiful.

Bai Yun came to the conclusion and couldn't help but curl his lips.

But soon, she regretted it, who said it was not comparable, the area alone was worth two other courtyards!

She walked out of breath, her face turned pale, her eyes looked straight at the ground, she was afraid that she would turn black when she raised her eyes, and then she looked at Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi who were walking in front, without panting, and the maid who followed. Her face was as usual, and she was the only one, her forehead and temples were wet and clinging to her forehead, and the sweat on her back was wet and dry. The wind swayed cold, and even a scent of sweat wafted. The scent of lavender lily was not useful!

Only she was the most embarrassed.

Pei Shuo asked, "Where's my father, I'll go and greet my father first."

The steward replied that the Founding Hou had come to the barracks to order soldiers, and if he thought about it, please visit Cui Mengzhang.

Cui Mengzhang received them in the flower hall.

She dressed up specially today. When she got married, she was not as good as Erjiu Fanghua. She was not much older than Pei Shuo. She was afraid that she would not be overwhelmed by this evil spirit. Ask the mother to dress her up and wear the bead crowns popular in Beijing. The large, luminous, slim short blue-gray jacket, a straight-collared shirt with red embroideries, wide white trousers, and a thin line of eyebrows, looks steady, dignified and mature.

Pei Shuo saw his stepmother for the first time. Although she dressed up specially, he still saw through her age at a glance. He felt awkward and said hello "Madam well."

The mother who didn't expect to call, really let Cui Mengzhang breathe a sigh of relief. She couldn't bear such a big son, even if the stepson wouldn't be a success!

Cui Mengzhang responded with a smile, and Jianlan put on a wooden pine lacquer tray with two sachets on it, giving Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi one each, and they thanked them in turn. Cui Mengzhang said, "You are all tired if you want to come, and I won't leave you to talk. , Let’s rest and go back, Xingzhi, go back soon, your mother is nagging you every day."

Pei Shuo keenly sensed that Cui Mengzhang didn't like him.

It just so happened that he didn't like her either.

The two went out of the flower hall together. Pei Xingzhi and Pei Shuo parted ways. Seeing that Pei Shuo was not going back to the yard, but walking towards the righteous courtyard, Lonicera asked, "Master, aren't we going back?"

"Father is not here, since I'm back, I have to greet Grandpa."

In the flower hall, Cui Mengzhang sighed, shaking slightly with his finger at the tea bowl.

Jianlan quickly gave her tea, brought it to her mouth, and the hot tea poured into her stomach. She felt calmer. She patted her chest and said to Jianlan, "Pei Shuo is really the one who is killing me. He was just standing in front of me. I feel that someone is holding my throat and my chest is tight and disgusting. From now on, he will stay at home for a long time, and will not leave for Nanxun County until Cao Changyingfei next year. How can this be good?"

Jianlan comforted Cui Mengzhang, "Madam, the eldest master is over seven years old. He lives in the outer courtyard on weekdays and he doesn’t meet frequently. Just bear with him. Don’t think too much about the second lady’s important words. If you really want to say it, Aunt Feng is the second only The person closest to the eldest master is not necessarily something bad for her, the third master is healthy and safe. You let the slave and maid say something boldly, shame is not necessarily true, and yin and yang are not necessarily declining. Really, but there is nothing wrong with Pei Jia Wang Ding who is not prosperous."

Cui Mengzhang unconsciously reached out and stroked her abdomen. If she was pregnant, she would be a son in all likelihood.

"Talk about it."

Jianlan noticed that his wife's mood had improved, and her face had a lot of smiles. These days, the second wife's gossip caused her to be troubled. To be continued. Please browse for a better reading experience.
