Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 347
The house of Pei Mansion in Liangcheng is said to be in Kuanzhai Alley, and the people living here are all officials and officials, but most of them are working in the military barracks, and they only come back when they are resting, and there are women from various families rushing to each other Visiting each other, and getting to know each other once and for all.

Seeing two carriages parked in front of Pei's residence, someone came out to look around, seeing the driver's eyes widening, wondering if Mr. Pei's family members had arrived.

Zhang Shun, who was guarding the door next door, had his head stretched out, and he was still muttering, "If Mrs. Pei really came, it would be bad for Miss Shen."

The concierge of Wang's house, the little Mencius, ran over in a hurry, stuffed a handful of peanuts into Zhang Shunsheng, peeled the shells, and joked, "You are the emperor, don't worry about eunuchs, Mr. Pei didn't say anything, You are worrying about Miss Shen, maybe Mrs. Pei is also tolerant, seeing Miss Shen is pitiful, so she accepts her generously."

Zhang Shun lamented and sighed, "Yes, our wife and Miss Shen get along well, and I just say that Miss Shen is knowledgeable and sensible, and the housekeeper is also capable. If this doesn't keep Pei's house in order, that's what a daughter-in-law should marry." Yes, if I had known that Mr. Pei was married..."

Little Mencius gave Zhang Shun a sideways look, "Don't you say that you knew it earlier? When Mr. Pei rescued Miss Shen, how did Miss Shen know that he was married? Now that everyone has returned with Mr. Pei, they will give you whatever they say." A placement?!"

Zhang Shun shook his head, "It's just a pity to let Miss Shen be my concubine!"

"Hey, look, people are coming down!"

Little Mencius stood on tiptoe and kept looking forward.

Liang Kuan and his son parked the carriage aside, and Ji Chonglian asked Caiqiu to get out of the carriage. Caiqiu spoke calmly and carefully, so it was most suitable for her to speak first.

Sitting in the car, Ji Chonglian pursed her lips and smiled, a rare shy joy appeared on her face, and she didn't know what Pei Yan would look like when she knew she had arrived at the gate of his house?
Ye Jinyu joked quietly at the side, and blinked teasingly at Ji Chonglian, "Sister, do you miss your brother-in-law?"

"You little girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Ji Chonglian gave Ye Jinyu an angry look, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

The Pei Mansion is not big, and it is definitely not small. The two stone lions at the entrance are majestic, and the vermilion gate with nine nails vertically and horizontally shows a heavy momentum. There are two guards with knives standing in front of the gate. Well, the guards were more like officers and soldiers, they stood energetically without even looking up.

Caiqiu straightened her clothes, then stepped up the steps, stretched her body slightly, and then said with a smile: "Thank you, two big brothers, let me know that our wife is here!"

"Ma'am, which lady?"

One of the guards was a little puzzled. There are quite a few wives who come to Pei's mansion on weekdays, and most of them point to Miss Shen. This time this is...

Now it was Caiqiu's turn to be a little surprised, she froze, and said in a deep voice: "Is your lord not at home? This is Pei's residence, our wife is naturally your wife!"

The other guard let out a "Hey", looked down curiously and was undecided, the two discussed it for a while, and then said to Caiqiu: "My lord is going to the barracks, girl, please wait here, little girl." Go in and report back to Miss Shen."

"Who is Miss Shen?"

Caiqiu's complexion changed, she clenched her hands tightly, and a sense of crisis emerged spontaneously in her heart. This is an intuition of a woman, and she couldn't help but worry about Ji Chonglian.

One guard went in to report neatly, and the other guard answered Cai Qiu's words, "Miss Shen, you don't even recognize her. Now it is Miss Shen who is in charge of the internal affairs of the Pei residence. Our lord holds Miss Shen very seriously!"

Cai Qiu was silent, turned around and went down the steps, walked to the side of the carriage after a few steps, raised the curtain and said: "Madam, it seems that my uncle is not in the residence."

"Oh?"

Ji Chonglian frowned, but slowly relaxed, "There must be something in the barracks, it's okay, let's go to the mansion first."

"But..." Caiqiu hesitated a little, seeing Ji Chonglian's eyes looking over, and then said in a low voice: "The guards don't know us, and they said they would go in and report to Miss Shen."

"Miss Shen?"

Ji Chonglian narrowed her eyes slightly, and slowly restrained the smile on her face.

Ye Jinyu also looked suspicious, but after all, she didn't know what happened between Ji Chonglian and Pei Yan, so it's hard to say anything at the moment.

"Yes, I heard that Miss Shen is in charge of the internal affairs of the mansion, and the servant girl thinks that she is probably in charge..."

Caiqiu's voice became softer as she spoke, even she herself didn't believe it. If she wanted to find a housekeeper, she would either look for an old steward or a mother or daughter-in-law who was in charge. How could she find a housekeeper? An unmarried girl?

"You believe this too?!"

Lin Tao yelled, with a look of indignation on her face, "I don't know who is watching our wife's absence, so they came to the mansion to take advantage of the loophole!"

Ji Chonglian glanced at Lin Tao. Although her face was calm, her words were sharp, "Don't talk nonsense until you don't know what's going on. If you can't control your mouth anymore, I'll send you back to Pengze!"

"Yes."

Lin Tao quickly shut up, but there was still some anger on her face.

Guiying coaxed the child aside, occasionally raised her head to look at Ji Chonglian's serious face, but she pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

No matter what the identity and background of Miss Shen is, Ji Chonglian's status as the main wife will not change, even if the man has any second thoughts, the wife must nod to accept a concubine.

If Ji Chonglian understood this point and held the housekeeper's power firmly in her own hands, she would let the man do whatever she wanted when she was outside. Guiying could be considered to have stayed in the mansion for so many years, and she had already been familiar with these principles.

Ye Jinyu looked at Ji Chonglian, also worried, "Sister, what shall we do now?"

Ji Chonglian touched the corners of her lips, she still trusted Pei Yan, "Wait a while, maybe we'll meet Miss Shen first."

It seemed that she was not used to the bumping and shaking of the carriage, and Bean Sprout started babbling, Gui Ying coaxed her, the Mu brothers were also woken up, and the baby's crying suddenly rang out.

Little Mencius had pricked up his ears, but when he heard the cry of the child, he turned his head and patted Zhang Shun's shoulder, "Did you hear the cry of the child in the car!"

"This even has a son-in-law. If Miss Shen wants to enter the house, it will be even more difficult."

Zhang Shun shook his head, seeing a maid passing by in his house, he immediately turned his head and said to Little Mencius, "I will report this matter to our wife as soon as possible. and two sentences."
