Chapter 655 Teaching

Pei Man returns to Beijing.

Mrs. Lu Hou was overjoyed.

He took her hand and asked a lot.

Ask about Lu Hou's situation, ask about General Pei's situation, ask whether Pei Man is comfortable in the northwest, etc.

At the end of the question, Gu Ting was mentioned.

"Little General Gu, I met you twice in the early years. I don't remember exactly what he looked like. Are you satisfied with your father's arrangement of this marriage for you? If you are not satisfied, don't worry, tell mother. Mother is Even if you try to offend your father, you have to call off this marriage."

Pei Man rarely smiled shyly, "Mother, don't worry. General Gu is pretty good."

have to!

Women are not allowed to stay.

Obviously Pei Man is satisfied with this marriage.

Maybe it was Pei Man who first took a fancy to Gu Ting, and then got engaged later.

It has to be said that Mrs. Lu Hou knew her daughter very well, so she guessed the truth right away.

Mrs. Luhou sighed, "Forget it, forget it. Since you have no objection, this marriage will go according to the original plan. It's just that the wife of the Gu family is really not on the stage. Every time I see her, I will have a big baby." sulking.

When you married, you had to be a lowly servant under Xie's hands. When I think about it, my heart aches. That Mrs. Xie is not qualified to talk to us before the two families are unengaged.

Now you have to be equal, and you still have the right to set rules for you, it's really annoying, and I've wronged you too much. "

Pei Man lowered her head and said, "I'm not wronged! This marriage was chosen by my daughter, and I can bear both good and bad."

Mrs. Lu Hou was so angry that she poked Pei Man's forehead fiercely, "I haven't married yet, but I'm devoted to the Gu family. She really is extroverted."

Pei Man stuck out her tongue and pulled Mrs. Luhou's sleeve, "Mother, don't worry. The third young mistress of the Gu family can live in Mrs. Xie, and her daughter will not be worse than her. I will follow suit. , I’m sure you’ll have a good day.”

Mrs. Luhou snorted, "Then you never thought that the third young master of the Gu family is an official in the capital, and the husband and wife don't have to separate. However, General Gu is a general, and after three months of marriage leave, he has to return to the northwest to work as an errand.

At that time, you will be left alone in the capital without children, what should you do? Have you ever thought, if General Gu only came back to the capital in seven or eight years, when would you be able to have a child?

If you have never had children,

How is your marriage going to last? Maybe General Gu took a concubine and gave birth to a child in the northwest, but you can only bear the title of a regular wife in vain, but you don't have the dignity of a regular wife. "

"He dares! If he dares to take a concubine, I can't spare him. Father and elder brother can't spare him either." Pei Man snorted.

Mrs. Luhou sighed again, "Silly girl! A man looks the same before he gets married, and he looks the same after he gets married. Don't think too badly of men, but you can't think too well of them. Even your father and brother, There is no reason to stop General Gu from having a son."

Pei Man looked distressed, "Mother, what do you think I should do?"

"Hmph! Now that I know I'm in a hurry, why did I go? I reminded you a long time ago, keep your eyes on the bright spots, and turn out that you fell in love with General Gu. If I knew it, I would have found you a suitable family in the capital." People, is it not good to be like your sister?"

Mrs. Luhou looked like she hated iron for being weak.

"What's so good!" Pei Man muttered secretly, with a look of disgust.

Mrs. Lu Hou frowned, and scolded with a straight face: "No nonsense."

Pei Man whispered: "Daughter is not talking nonsense. If it weren't for my sister's means and the support of my father and brother, the backyard of Duke Zhu's mansion would have been full of beautiful concubines. Last year, that tofu Xishi..."

"Okay, stop talking."

Mrs. Lu Hou interrupted Pei Man directly, "If you say this in front of your sister, it will poke her heart. When a girl is married, she can't control many things by herself. You think General Gu is a good person, Let me tell you, it's too early to draw conclusions. After five or ten years, we will see if he is good or not."

Pei Man lowered her head and said firmly, "I trust him!"

"What's the use of you believing him. Look at a man, you can't just listen to what he says, you have to look at what he does. If you talk but don't do it, it's a bastard. If you don't talk, it's a stick. These two People, don't marry."

Pei Man laughed, "Gu Ting is good at talking and doing, so you can get married."

Mrs. Luhou gave her a gouged look, "What are you proud of? In order to marry a woman home, a man will naturally show his best side.

Then his shortcomings, have you seen it? Do you know his private living habits? Husband and wife are to live together for a lifetime.

Don't just look at the good side, you have to see the bad side as well, you have to see how bad he really is. His badness to others may one day show it to you. Do you think you can take it? "

Pei Man wrinkled her nose, "Mother, what you said is too scary! Gu Ting is in the Sirius Army and will often lead troops in battle. He is naturally extremely cruel to the enemy. Does my daughter want to imagine how he will deal with the enemy?" Will it be cast on me? Impossible!"

Pei Man turned her head, a little annoyed. She felt that her mother thought too badly of Gu Ting and completely destroyed her expectations for this marriage.

Mrs. Luhou snorted, "I didn't make you think that way, you just look at how he treats the people around you."

Pei Man hurriedly said: "He is very kind to the people around him. He donates money with righteousness, but he has no bad intentions. He scolds when he needs to be scolded, beats when he needs to be beaten, and helps when he needs to. He is a person with a sense of responsibility.

Mother, just trust your daughter's vision. Even if you don't believe your daughter's eyes, you should believe your father and brother's eyes. They can't be wrong when they look at people. "

Mrs. Luhou gave her a blank look, "When General Gu returns to Beijing in two months, I will personally inspect him to see if he is as good as you said."

Pei Man laughed, "I promise to satisfy mother."

"Don't talk too much. If I'm not satisfied, don't blame me for speaking badly."

"I know, I know."

Pei Man looked relieved, as if she had solved the biggest problem.

After a few days, Mrs. Luhou sent out invitations to entertain relatives and friends.

In name, it is to enjoy the flowers, but in fact, it is to clean up the dust for Pei Man.

For the flower viewing feast, various varieties of chrysanthemums were specially brought in and placed in the garden for the guests to enjoy.

Gu Jiu also received the invitation, and she will attend the banquet on time on the day of the reply.

She asked Liu Zhao, "Madame Luhou is hosting a banquet, are you going?"

Liu Zhao shook his head, "They are all female relatives, so I won't go."

"There are not only female relatives, but also male guests. You forgot that Lu Hou's youngest son is still in the capital, and he is responsible for greeting the male guests."

"Lu Hou's youngest son is my cousin, so I naturally remember. Forget it, I'll walk with you."

Just in time to have a chat with Pei Rong.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "It's really rare, you are willing to participate in such a banquet."

"My aunt treats guests. As a nephew, I naturally have to show my face." Liu Zhao said grandly. He would also take the opportunity to meet his own uncle and beat him up.

When it came to the day of the banquet, Gu Jiu and Liu Zhao went to Luhou Mansion together in a carriage.

The two children, brother Yu, have to go to class and can't come.

Brother Heng is still too young to come to this kind of occasion.

There were also several sisters-in-law who were invited. Xiao Qin'er, Ouyang Fu and Cui Shi all came.

The female family members of the Gu family and the female family members of the Hou family were also invited.

Since you want to be in-laws with the Gu family, don't worry about how much you don't like this marriage. In terms of face, Mrs. Luhou will definitely do her best and won't let anyone find any mistakes.

Not only did she leave a message for the Gu family, but when the women of the Gu family came to the door, she also went to the second gate to greet her in person to show her importance.

Others said that Mrs. Lu Hou was extremely satisfied with this marriage, so she came forward to greet the family members of the Gu family in person.

Hu Shi was taken aback.

She has so much virtue and ability that Mrs. Lu Hou greeted her in person.

He hurriedly got off the carriage and saluted as a junior.

"Junior pays respects to Madam!"

Mrs. Luhou smiled and helped her up, "Where is your wife? Why didn't you see her?"

Mrs. Hu was a little embarrassed, and then said regretfully: "My wife was going to come, but I accidentally blew the wind last night, and I woke up dizzy this morning. I invited the doctor, and the doctor said it was a cold. I was afraid of getting sick. I was so angry that I didn't come. Please forgive me, madam."

When Mrs. Lu Hou heard that Mrs. Xie would not come, she felt relieved.

Finally, I don't have to face Xie Shi's annoying face.

She is still very satisfied with Hu Shi.

After all, he was born in a scholarly family, and he has rules in speaking and doing things. Unlike the Xie family, who was born in a small family, he is very particular about it.

Mrs. Luhou's smile became brighter, and she took Hu's hand, "Come, let's drink tea in the garden. We were supposed to go to the flower hall, but after seeing the chrysanthemums in the garden, everyone asked for the banquet to be placed in the garden. "

Hu said with a smile: "The weather is good today. It's beautiful to have a banquet in the garden accompanied by the fragrance of flowers!"

"It's still you young people who have ideas. Come to the mansion more often when you have free time in the future."

"Thank you ma'am!"

In the garden, chrysanthemums of various colors are placed in various shapes, which is really beautiful.

Among the flowers, there are seats, benches, tea and snacks.

The female relatives were sitting among the flowers, chatting and laughing happily.

Everyone is happy and in a good mood.

She also saw Gu Jiu, Gu Mei, Gu Qi and other Gu family sisters.

Of course, Pei Yun, the married daughter of the Pei family is also indispensable.

Hu said with a smile: "I thought I came early, but I didn't expect that I would be the last one to arrive."

She resigned from Mrs. Luhou and went to the sisters.

Gu Jiu was the first to see her and waved at her, "Sister-in-law, come quickly. Qingzhu, serve tea to the third young mistress."

"Second aunt came so early!"

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "I have nothing to do, I'm in a hurry, so I came early."

"Sister Xiaojiu obviously wants to come here early to meet her future sister-in-law." Gu Mei teased her.

Everyone burst into laughter, all in good faith.

Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said generously: "Sister Mei is right, I want to see my future sister-in-law sooner. But I haven't seen anyone since I've been here for so long. Sister Pei, can you make someone, Invite Miss Manman out?"

Pei Yun smiled and said, "My girl has a thin face, I'm afraid she's too embarrassed to come out. If sister Xiaojiu doesn't mind, you might as well wait a little longer."

"It's the first time for a big girl, you can wait as long as you want!"

Everyone burst into laughter again.
