The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Years ago, things were busy, but Mrs. Xie still wanted to finalize Pei Yunqian's marriage as soon as possible.

On this day, under the management of Pingyang, Xu Wanning invited her fifth wife and cousin to the mansion, and Mrs. Xie was also invited.

When the fifth wife, Mrs. Gu, arrived at the mansion, Xu Wanning led her cousin to Bitangju Xiaoxu, leaving room for Mrs. Gu to see Pei Yunqian.

Ever since Li Ling ascended the throne and vigorously promoted newcomers, although the Pei family has declined, everyone in the capital knows that Pei Yunqian is a person who was vigorously cultivated by the emperor. The Gu family also inquired about this person before, and learned that he has a good character and temperament, so she is very optimistic about this marriage.

Mrs. Gu was led into the main hall by Pingyang, Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Pei Yunqian had been waiting for a long time, Mrs. Gu saw Mrs. Xie, although she greeted her warmly on the surface, she had already looked at Mrs. Pei Yunqian several times from the corner of her eye.

Handsome and talented.

Although the formal ceremony has not yet been held, Mrs. Gu is already very satisfied.

Everyone sat down, Pingyang smiled and introduced to Gu Shi, "Fifth Aunt, this is my natal cousin, Pei Yunqian."

Pei Yunqian respectfully greeted Mrs. Gu.

Gu looked around again, with a deep smile on his face, and hurriedly said: "Excuse me, excuse me."

Gu Shi and Pei Yunqian inquired about the situation at home, and Pei Yunqian answered them one by one. Gu Shi saw that he spoke politely and behaved steadily, and became more determined in his heart, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Mrs. Xie saw what Mrs. Gu was thinking, and hurriedly greeted Mrs. Qing and said, "The room is stuffy, so my sister will take uncle to the garden."

In a big family, the elders are attracted to the blind date, and they will find an opportunity for the parties to have a look at each other. Although it is impossible to get in touch with each other in detail, but if you take a rough look, you won't know nothing about the person you are going to marry.

Sister Qing also understands these things at her age. After hearing Mrs. Xie's words, she agreed and took Pei Yunqian to the garden.

Xu Wanning also got the letter, knowing that her aunt had taken a fancy to Pei Yunqian, so she took her cousin to the garden in person.

Pei Yunqian was sitting in the pavilion waiting in the garden, when he saw Xu Wanning coming with a woman from a distance, he got up to welcome him out of the pavilion, and greeted Xu Wanning and the girl from the Xu family.

Although the Xu family girl is a concubine, but because her biological mother passed away early, she will always be raised under the knees of her aunt Gu, so she is very well-bred. She is a typical lady of the family. She only took one look at Pei Yunqian and blushed.

Xu Wanning glanced at her cousin, smiled and made excuses and said, "I'll go back and order them to bring some tea and snacks, you guys sit here for a while."

After Xu Wanning left, Pei Yunqian invited Miss Xu's family to sit down in the pavilion, while he sat opposite Miss Xu, keeping a proper distance from Miss Xu in keeping with the etiquette.

There were only two of them, and the scene was a little awkward.

Pei Yunqian first said: "Although I was born in Beijing, my family has been in decline since I was a child. My family moved to Yizhou. My biological mother died young, and there is only one old father in the family. Although I have a job in Beijing, it is just a hard job." He said with a wry smile: "Military officer, in the future, we will inevitably go to war in the south and north, and the risk is also great."

The girl from the Xu family is already old enough to have a blind date like this several times. Those men would try their best to talk about their strengths when meeting each other. Like Pei Yunqian, they would talk about their weaknesses when they meet. This is the first time Miss Xu has met.

She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yunqian. This man is not only handsome, but the most important thing is that he can give people a sense of stability. At first glance, he is someone who can be entrusted to him for life.

Miss Xu smiled faintly, and replied: "General Pei's family was in trouble when he was young. It's really unfortunate, but compared to me, you are much luckier."

She raised her eyes to look at Pei Yunqian, then turned her gaze back again, and continued: "My mother went away after I was born. Although I was raised under the knee of my aunt, I was in the end."

After all, she is not her own mother.

Miss Xu didn't finish her sentence, she just shook her head with a wry smile, then looked at Pei Yunqian again and said, "So, we are both poor people in the world."

Pei Yunqian didn't respond, he was silent for a while, and finally said: "Actually, I have no intention of getting married."

As soon as these words came out, the look on Miss Xu's face instantly turned cold. She frowned, looked at Pei Yunqian, and asked in doubt: "What is the general talking about?"

Pei Yunqian stood up, gave a slight salute to Miss Xu, and said frankly: "I know that this matter is really extremely rude to the girl, but it's just related to the girl's lifelong happiness, and I don't want to delay the girl."

Miss Xu's eyes moved slightly, and finally she calmed down, and she replied politely: "The general is serious. Marriage is all about what you want and what you want. Since the general doesn't like me, let's just pretend it's okay. Although I'm not a big-hearted person, I don't want to make trouble for no reason and complain about the general."

Pei Yunqian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Miss misunderstood, it's not that I'm dissatisfied with you, but that I have no intention of marrying a wife. No matter who it is, I don't want to marry."

Afraid that Miss Xu would be unhappy because of this, he explained: "I have been sheltered by Prince Yong's Mansion since I was a child, and my cousin and sister-in-law have repeatedly worried about my marriage.

With that said, Pei Yunqian got up and gave Miss Xu another deep bow: "Girl, I'm really sorry. When you get home, just say that you didn't like Pei."

These words sounded unbelievable, but Ms. Xu could tell that what Pei Yunqian was telling was the truth, and she wasn't making random excuses to cover it up.

She smiled and replied: "It's okay, I can understand the general's difficulties."

She is a concubine who lives in the hands of her aunt. Although she looks beautiful on the outside, the various hardships and helplessness she has experienced in growing up have already trained her to read words and expressions and understand others' state of mind without putting herself in her place.

Pei Yunqian smiled faintly at Miss Xu, and said: "Miss Xu understands righteousness so well, she will definitely meet a lover in the future."

Miss Xu said: "I have borrowed a good word from the general."

Pity!Miss Xu suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart, but she concealed it very well, and her face was still calm and plain.

Pei Yunqian said politely: "I'll send the girl out of the garden."

Miss Xu didn't refuse, and the two left the pavilion, walked along the bluestone road, and headed out of the garden.

When she was about to reach the gate of the garden, Miss Xu suddenly asked Pei Yunqian, "Forgive me for taking the liberty to ask General, why don't you want to start a family?"

As soon as the words came out, even Ms. Xu herself was a little surprised.

She is an extremely reserved person, how could she suddenly ask such a question.

She smiled awkwardly, and said falteringly: "I'm just curious, don't take offense to the general, if you don't want to say it, just don't say it."

Pei Yunqian stopped in his tracks, and said slowly: "At my age, I don't want to start a family, and I don't blame others for thinking too much. It's normal for a girl to be so curious."

After hearing such funny and understanding words, Ms. Xu covered her mouth and laughed aloud: "The general is not yet thirty, how can he be 'already old'?"

After speaking, she added: "This is the general's private matter, I really shouldn't ask about it."

She said so, but for some reason, she still hoped that Pei Yunqian could tell the reason.

Pei Yunqian replied: "In my cousin's words, for a man my age, children can run all over the place. I'm not 'old'."

Miss Xu couldn't help covering her mouth again, and snickered.

Pei Yunqian replied: "The reason why I don't want to start a family is because I have a woman in my heart. Since I can't give all my thoughts to the girl who married me, I don't want to delay her."

Miss Xu didn't expect Pei Yunqian to be so honest with her.

After all, they have never known each other before, since they can't get married, it is impossible for them to have any intersection in the future.

She shouldn't have asked him such a thing, but now that it was out of his mouth, he could have found an excuse at will.

But he is so frank.

Miss Xu's heart suddenly felt sour, she raised her eyes and looked at Pei Yunqian, not knowing what to say, she left the garden sullenly.
