stormy clouds

Chapter 33
The princess of the county laughed, "If you don't have it, you don't have it. Why do you swear. But you are really naughty, what are you doing climbing up the tree?"

"Aren't I tired? I happened to see such a big tree, so I wanted to rest on it. How could I know that I was beaten down with an inkstone as a disciple."

Seeing his funny words, the princess of the county felt a little relieved. She ordered Baoqin to invite the doctor, and said seriously, "Wei'er, you can't be careless about your injury. You will stay in the mansion today to recuperate for a day, and then go out to visit Mingyue Lake tomorrow." Bar!"

"Auntie, I can actually..."

"Listen to my aunt," the princess said angrily, "If you don't listen, I'll write to my brother and sister-in-law today about your injury."

This is really just a minor injury, okay, Zhou Wei rolled his eyes helplessly.

But he didn't dare to be stubborn, and it was hard for his aunt to agree not to pursue this matter. If he insisted on going his own way, she might really blame Miss Chang Si.

Zhou Wei was bored in the county prince's mansion, but Pei, who was deep in the inner house of the Chang family, looked happy.

When Mrs. Pei asked Madam Wu to bring food to Chang Luoyao, Chang Luoyao brought out the news that the princess of the county asked her if she would like to enter the palace to meet the empress.

When Pei heard this, she immediately beamed with joy, and she said, Yao'er is not an ordinary child, and with her appearance, she is a lucky one anyway.

She couldn't hold back her joy, and when Chang Pu came back in the evening, she told him about it at the dinner table.

Didn't he always have hope for that broom star?Now, Yao'er has already won the favor of Princess Anjun, could it be that the broom star can surpass her, we know that Princess Princess is the Queen's younger sister.

Mrs. Pei became a little complacent, "Master, you said that if Yao'er enters the palace this time, if she is married by the Empress Dowager, then the marriage with Marquis Changping will be settled, right?"

"That's not necessarily true," Chang Pu said with a headache. Mrs. Pei had always wanted to marry Yao'er into the Marquis of Changping's mansion. There is still a big difference between the first wife and the daughter of the second wife.

What's more, isn't this Dafang and Luoxia?Although the eldest brother didn't intend to let Luoxia marry into the Hou's mansion, Luoxia is also the first daughter of the Chang family after all!

"It's not certain," Chang Pu said, "Yun'er is an older sister after all."

"Second brother——"

Pei said angrily, "My lord——
"I married you back then, and the picture was of you. For so many years, I was afraid of making things difficult for you, and I never asked you anything. This time, Yao'er won the favor of the princess by her own ability. You have to think for Yao'er too." Think about it!"

For her own sake, Mrs. Pei didn't even care about her face. When she came to Chang's house to be a concubine for herself, she was also humiliated. Thinking of this, and looking at Mrs. Pei, although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, her snow-white face is stained. A little blush, a pair of eyes rippling, Chang Pu's unsteady heart loosened even more.

"Yao'er is also good. If she can marry into the Marquis of Changping, it will be her luck." Chang Pu patted Pei's soft and white hands, "Don't worry, I won't let Yao'er suffer."

"Second brother," with Chang Pu's words, Pei's voice became more gentle, "You also know that I have suffered from being a concubine, and I don't want Yao'er to be a concubine anymore. I just want She can be someone's first wife dignifiedly, and when she has children, she doesn't have to be looked down upon like Yao'er and Yun'er."

When the Han family was there before, Yao'er and Yun'er were not less excluded.

Chang Pu was a little guilty, he thought for a while, "Yao'er married to Changping Hou's mansion, so she can also pull Yuner a little bit in the future."

Pei's eyebrows were beaming with joy, that is to say, Chang Pu agreed.

She walked slowly behind Chang Pu, put her hands on his shoulders, and gently squeezed his shoulders for him, her tone was softer, "Master, if Yao'er marries into Changping Hou's mansion, Yun'er Chunwei will go to the palace to marry you." You don’t have to work so hard if you have a position on the list and an official position.”

Pei's hands were neither light nor heavy, and it was very comfortable to pinch his shoulders.

Chang Pu closed his eyes slightly, rested his head on the back of the chair, and enjoyed the ironing service.

After Han's death, the Chang family's Xiufang was also closed, and all their income depended on Chang Pu's salary and two farms.

If Yoona grows up....

"How's Yun'er doing these days?" Chang Pu asked leisurely with his eyes closed, "Brother did you say that he's a little bit better."

"Brother said that Wen Yun's qualifications have always been good, but he was indulged in naughtiness. Since last year, he has become sensible, and he looks decent."

"That's good," Chang Pu nodded, "I'm worried that Yun'er is too playful and missed her homework. In a few days, you can buy a few pieces of cloth and a basket of fresh fruits and send them to my sister-in-law. But we can’t be less polite.”

Mrs. Pei was a little embarrassed, and her smile was a bit forced, "Master, the spring banquet was held a few days ago, and it cost a lot, or else it will be delayed for a while."

Chang Pu knew what she wanted to say as soon as she heard it, didn't she just have no money?This is what worries him the most now.He frowned slightly, "Two bolts of cloth are not worth much, you can save it elsewhere."

If Pei's men can save her a meal, she will naturally save it. Nowadays, the extra servants and maids in the family have been sent away as much as possible, and what can be saved by the household is also saved as much as possible. It's not like when the Han family was in charge. Buying a yard and setting up a farm, this family is easy to manage, but now, with only a small amount of income, it is hard to be a poor family!

Mrs. Pei put her hand on Chang Pu's head, gently pressed his head, and said while considering, "Master, my natal brother has found a way to do business in the past two years, and also earned some money. How about we take Zhuangzi has pawned it, give him some silver, and we will get some dividends when we earn money."

"Your brother, which brother?" Chang Pu asked.

Pei has two younger brothers, one runs a shop in Qingzhou, sells some dried fruit preserves, and the other helps another family manage the village.

"It's Pei Cheng. Didn't he open a fruit shop? Some time ago, he found a purchase channel to import some dyes and spices from the Western Regions, and made a fortune."

Chang Pu knew that Pei Cheng was not safe at first glance.Moreover, the two Zhuangzi of the Chang family were bought by the Han family with some money earned in the years when they opened the Xiufang. The Chang family relied on Zhuangzi for food and drink, that would not work.

Chang Pu said irritably, "Don't think about it. Although Zhuangzi doesn't earn much money, the Chang family relies on two Zhuangzis for food and drink."

"Didn't I want to help second brother share your worries?" Pei's eyes were red with grievance, "If it's just me, I haven't had any hard times, so what does it matter to me to be poorer and richer."

Chang Pu also regretted that his tone was a bit aggressive, and he softened his tone, "Yan'er, don't I know what you are thinking? After all these years, you still don't know what kind of temper I am."

Pei said leisurely, "I'm not angry with my second brother, I just feel sorry for my second brother."

Chang Pu sighed, "The embroidery competition will be over in three days. When the dust of the competition settles, I will be relieved. At that time, it is time to think about the children's marriage."

Pei's eyes lit up, and then he lowered his eyelids again, focusing on Chang Pu's head.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Pei took some scraps of silver, and called Mama Wu to ask her to go to the market to buy some Chang Luyao's favorite snacks and send them to the Weaving Department.

Wu Ma arrived at Liuyun Pavilion with the basket, and as soon as she put down the basket, Chang Luoyao couldn't wait to ask, "What did A Niang bring me?"

"Miss Pei said, let the girl rest assured, everything is with her, and you just go to the palace with the princess of the county." Wu Ma said with a calm face.

Chang Luoyao took a bite of a candied fruit with her thumb and forefinger, and laughed, "Mother Wu, this candied fruit is too sweet, I don't like it, you send it to Huansha Pavilion, just tell her, the princess of the county will let you eat it." I will enter the palace with her, and let her not worry about the Changping Marquis Mansion."
