Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 558: Lucky in Three Lives

When Pei Yunqian heard that Mr. Xie mentioned that he wanted to marry him again, he smiled and replied: "It's not urgent."

Mrs. Xie said: "How can a person of your age not be anxious now that he has several children?" As she said that, she looked at Pingyang and asked: "The Yongyi Hou family you mentioned to me last time Girl, do you have any clues?"

These days, Mrs. Xie has been planning for Pei Yunqian's marriage.

 She is the eldest sister-in-law, so she should take care of Pei Yunqian's marriage.

Moreover, Pei Yunqian values ​​​​love and justice, and now he is favored by the emperor. Xie is also willing to worry about this for him.

Hearing this, Pingyang replied: "Yongyihou Mansion is the natal family of my elder sister-in-law. It was my elder sister-in-law who mentioned our relationship to me. That girl is the youngest daughter of the fifth room in Yongyihou Mansion. Although she is a concubine, her mother had dystocia when she was born. No, she has been raised under the knee of my legitimate mother. I have seen this girl. Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but her temperament is also indescribable. She just got haircut this year."

Although the Pei family was once a prominent family in Beijing, it has long since declined, and naturally it cannot improve its family status. Therefore, the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family generally does not marry.

After hearing Pingyang's introduction, Mrs.

As soon as Mr. Xie finished speaking, Li Xiang echoed: "My cousin is right. Since this girl is my sister-in-law's natal family, she can't go wrong. She will definitely be worthy of cousin Pei."

With that said, Li Xiang picked up the wine glass and said to Pei Yunqian enthusiastically: "I would like to congratulate my cousin first."

Pei Yunqian did not raise his glass. He glanced at Li Xiang, then looked at Xie, and said expressionlessly: "I am nearly thirty years old, and this girl is twenty-eight years old. How can this match?"

“I’m sorry to bother my cousin sister-in-law, but let’s forget about this marriage.”

Xie hurriedly said: "It's normal for men to be older than their wives. Hey, cousin, you think too much."

Pei Yunqian said: "I don't think it's appropriate."

Xie said: "Girls usually get married before their 10th birthday. According to your thinking, I'm afraid I can only marry a second-married girl. How can this be done?"

Before Pei Yunqian could speak again, Li Xiang followed Xie and said, "Cousin, please don't be angry. Cousin Pei is just talking." After saying that, he looked at Pingyang again and said, "I see, what are you and my sister-in-law doing?" I will invite the girl to my house and let Cousin Pei meet her briefly. Maybe the two of them will hit it off."

As he spoke, Li Xiang looked at Xie again and said, "Cousin, do you think so?"

Xie glanced at Li Xiang and said in confusion: "My cousin seems to be more anxious about cousin Pei's marriage than I, the eldest sister-in-law, am."

Li Xiang was stunned when he heard this, smiled awkwardly, and said hurriedly: "It is a matter of life for cousin Pei, we should all be concerned about it, right?"

Pingyang rolled his eyes at Li Xiang and said angrily: "My mother is not here and my eldest sister-in-law is my mother. My cousin's marriage is decided by her own. Don't interfere with me."

 Li Xiang was so reprimanded by his wife that he shut his mouth angrily. Zhao Xuan raised the wine cup and said politely: "Let them women take care of this matter. Come on, sister-in-law and cousin, let's drink."

Then the trouble was cleared, and everyone ate and drank together in a lively manner until the middle of the afternoon.

After Pingyang and others were sent away, Zhao Xuan helped Xie back to the main room. Xie mentioned what happened today. She said with a dead face: "From now on, you should be more restrained and don't be in front of outsiders. He talks about concubines openly and silently without fear of making people laugh."

Zhao Xuan frowned and replied: "The people here today are not outsiders, they are all members of the family. Besides, it is a holiday today. Let's have a lively meal together. Ayu is alone in the desert. I can't bear it. no."

 “She is pregnant with my child.”

As he said that, he took his wife in his arms and said, "You also know that I am not a heartless person." Xie glanced at her husband and replied: "I don't care if you love her and dote on her in private, but I am Your wife, you have to give me face in front of outsiders."

Zhao Xuan frowned and asked, "Don't I give you enough face?"

He looked at his wife and sighed: "People outside say that I am henpecked and they manage me like this. Don't you think it's enough?"

Seeing Zhao Xuan complaining, Ms. Xie rolled her eyes at her husband and snorted: "What? You dislike me for taking care of you, don't you?"

 Zhao Xuan was noncommittal.

Xie Shi continued: "I am not jealous to prevent you from pampering your sweetheart. You still don't let me have dignity in front of outsiders. Haha, how can there be such a good thing in the world."

"If you want me to leave you alone, that's fine, but according to the rules, the master cannot stay in the same side room for more than three days a month."

 She looked at Zhao Xuan and asked, "Can you do it?"

When Zhao Xuan saw that his wife was angry, he softened his expression and replied: "I was just talking casually, why are you so up to date?"

With his wife still keeping a straight face, Zhao Xuan smiled and said to please her: "Okay, okay, let's just not mention this."

Ms. Xie glared at her husband and then asked, "Has your father replied to your letter regarding our discussion about withdrawing from the vassal a while ago?"

Zhao Xuan replied: "I received a reply from my father this morning, and he agreed."

After saying that, Zhao Xuan sighed and said: "My father was always a person who loved to enjoy himself. Now that he is old, he is more open-minded. Hey! It's just a pity for us and the children. I may still be able to enjoy the treatment of a prince in this life." , I wonder what will happen after the children take over the palace."

Xie replied: "Let's take care of the present first. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future."

"Children must also be educated well. As the saying goes, 'If you love your children, your plans will be far-reaching.' Even if they can no longer enjoy the dignity of a prince in the future, they must at least have the talent to be with them and keep the family fortune. No matter how hard it is, , you must also be able to stand upright, that is the right path."

Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea and sighed: "Just like cousin Pei, although the Pei family has been in decline for many years, it is now gradually prospering in the hands of cousin Pei. In the final analysis, it is not because of my cousin's ability. .”

Zhao Xuan looked at his wife and sighed: "I am so lucky to have such a capable wife like you."

Xie Shi smiled and asked, "Do you have something to ask of me again?"

Zhao Xuan saw that his wife had found out. He smiled awkwardly and hesitated: "You said, if we want to send a hostage into the palace, which child should we choose?"

Xie's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Is she crying with you again?"

Zhao Xuan nodded and said in a soft tone: "Ayu is weak, so it was unexpected that she could be pregnant with this child. With her body, I'm afraid she can only have such a child."

Before Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Xie asked: "So, you want our child to be used as a pledge in the palace, right?"
