stormy clouds

Mrs. Pei suffers from spring sleepiness.During this period of time in previous years, she mostly lay lazily on the bed, raised ginseng and bird's nest every now and then, and felt exhausted.

Not to mention that she has only been traveling for more than half a month, even if she arrives in the capital, she doesn't want to go anywhere. When it's time for dinner, she just wants to lie on the couch.

When Chang Luoyao came in, she was lying on her side on the couch with her eyes closed.

Chang Luoyun sat next to Mrs. Pei, and called softly, "Aniang."

Pei closed her eyes and said slowly, "Didn't you go out for a stroll? Why did you come back so soon?"

"Don't talk about it," Chang Luoyao said angrily, "It's all because of Qiu Hen, who is timid and afraid to go anywhere."

Pei's: "Qiu Hen is the most stable, she is for your own good."

"For my own good?" Chang Luoyao snorted coldly, "Lindu is at the feet of the emperor, so the order here is naturally the best. I think she has never seen the world, and she is frightened by the prosperity of Lindu."

Mrs. Pei patted the back of her hand and said comfortingly: "Mother has been in a bad mood for the past few days, she will recover after a few days, and I will take you out for a stroll."

Qiu Hen lowered her head and didn't speak.

Mrs. Pei opened her eyes and took Chang Luoyao's hand, "Tell mother, what new things are there in Lindu?"

"What can we see? Not long after we went out, we met a woman who asked us if we were from Qingzhou? Then asked if we knew Miss Chang Si from Chang Shaocheng's family?"

"Oh," Mrs. Pei propped herself up and sat up, "What kind of woman is she?"

"Around 20 years old, it is said that Madam Changping Hou asked her to send a post to Miss Chang Si. The slave girl thought it was strange, so she asked the girl to come back and take a look first." Qiu Hen stepped forward and handed a pillow to Mrs. Pei.

"I think Qiu Hen is just making a fuss. Mrs. Changping Hou sent a post to invite her. It's a matter of time."

Qiu Hen didn't go to Xinghu with her, she already had resentment in her heart, when she heard Qiu Hen say this, she naturally snapped a few words without even thinking about it.

Pei's expression became serious, "Qiu Hen did the right thing, if Mrs. Chang Ping Hou really came to invite her, she would definitely invite us together, why do you say that she is sending a post to Miss Chang Si?

Qiuhen, you comb my hair, I'll go out and have a look. "

Qiu Hen agreed and came over with a dressing box, and asked Mrs. Pei for advice: "What style do you want my lady to wear?"

"It doesn't matter what style it is, just be quick. If it's really a post, it's probably coming soon."

Qiu Hen neatly tied a short bun for her, with a few pearl flowers on it, and went outside the courtyard with Pei Shi to wait.

Yunying calculated that it was almost time before walking into the alley.

Sure enough, from a distance, she saw the girl she met on the street just now, standing at the door with a woman in her 30s.

Yunying stepped forward, pretending to be strange: "Hey, girl, do you live here too?"

Qiu Hen nodded slightly, but did not speak.

Seeing that her clothes are more decent than ordinary girls, Mrs. Pei already understood.She smiled and asked, "Excuse me, is the girl here looking for someone?"

Yunying said: "Old Madam Changping Hou asked me to come over and send a post to Fourth Miss Chang, but I don't know if Miss Chang Fourth is at home?"

Pei said with a smile: "Yun'er just left, just give me the post."

Yunying looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "May I ask what your name is, I can answer when I get back."

Mrs. Pei: "I am Miss Chang Si's aunt."

"It turned out to be Mrs. Pei, the servant is rude." Yunying smiled and offered the post with both hands, "The old lady said that the lady and the girls have worked hard all the way, and tomorrow they will hold a banquet to show the friendship of the landlord."

Qiu Hen accepted the post.Mrs. Pei said with a smile: "The old lady is really caring, thank her for me."

Yunying agreed, and said with a smile: "The fourth girl is really good-looking, the old lady will like it when she sees it."

Pei Shi wondered: "Have you seen Yun'er?"

"I saw it at the market when I came here, and I was shocked at the time. I dare say that there are very few girls with such good looks in this capital."

Mrs. Pei and You Rongyan smiled and said, "That's Miss Wu."

Yunying was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "That would be a pity."

Pei Shi was also taken aback: "What's the pity?"

Yun Ying seemed to have come to her senses suddenly, and said in a panic: "This servant is talkative, please don't blame me.

Tomorrow, the lady and girls will be invited to go to the mansion early, and the servants will leave. "

Yunying saluted hurriedly to Mrs. Pei, and left in a little panic.

Pei Shi and Qiu Hen looked at each other, their faces froze for a while.

Chang Luoyao saw them coming in, but she was not as relaxed as when she just went out, the hand that was about to get the fruit candy stopped.

Mrs. Pei glanced at Chang Luoyao, with an uncertain expression on her face, "Yao'er, the Marquis of Changping really sent a post."

Chang Luoyao breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out again to take an oil fruit and put it in her mouth, "Aniang, as I said, it's not uncommon for Mrs. Changping Hou to send us posts. Strange."

Mrs. Pei glanced at her, a little irritated, "Although she sent a post, Mrs. Changping Hou seems to pay special attention to Yun'er."

Chang Luoyao's mouth, which was chewing the oil fruit, stopped, and said with a mouthful of oil fruit: "Why do you pay special attention to her? Could it be that Mrs. Hou is looking for her?"

Pei did not speak.

Chang Luoyao swallowed the fruit in her mouth in one gulp, and said in a drawn-out voice: "Mother, Mrs. Marquis of Changping has never seen that broom star, how could she like her?"

Mrs. Pei: "Shut up, this is not Qingzhou. You are a broom star. If she hears it, she will drive us out at that time. Let's see where you live?"

Chang Luoyao said angrily: "You have only been here for a few days, and you are helping her speak.

Lindu is so big, and it's not like there is no place to live. Does it have to be her place to be happy? "

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up, threw the handkerchief in a ball on the ground, got up and went out.

Pei was so angry that her heart ached, "Qiuhen, you see, I'm all for her, why did I get her complaint?"

Qiu Hen picked up the handkerchief and comforted him: "The girl is still young, she doesn't understand the lady's heart, it will be fine when she is older."

Only then did Mrs. Pei suppress the fire slowly, and thoughtfully said: "This time the old lady invited us over, it must be to see if the girls are suitable.

If he is satisfied, the engagement will definitely count, and the marriage date will not be delayed any longer, after all, the age and status of Lord Hou has reached that point.

But if you are not satisfied, most of the marriage contract will not be mentioned again. "

Mrs. Pei said: "It stands to reason that Yao'er's appearance is not bad, no one can fault her, but if she is put together with Yun'er, she will be too impatient."

Mrs. Pei stood up, and walked a few steps in a daze, "Anyway, Yun'er didn't see the post, or we shouldn't tell her about the old lady of the Hou Mansion posting the post, and take Yao'er directly the day after tomorrow? "

Qiu Hen knew her temper, so it was not easy to express any opinions.

"No, if the old lady didn't see her, she would definitely come to invite her on another day. If she didn't keep it from her, not only would she fail to achieve her goal, but she would be offended."

Mrs. Pei denied her own idea, and had no idea for a while. "Qiu Hen, tell me, what should I do?"
