Cui mengzhang woke up with a start. He was already sweating.
Pei Zhengwen, who was sleeping with him, woke up immediately when there was a slight movement. His eyes were clear as if he had not yet fallen asleep. He turned his head. His beautiful and dignified little wife was like a dehydrated fish, gasping. He patted her back soothingly.
Unexpectedly, Cui mengzhang jumped in panic and dodged his touch.
Pei Zhengwen's hand was frozen in the air. He slowly put his hand down and asked, "you've been having nightmares these days."
His insipid exposition.
Cui mengzhang shrank to the wall and realized what she had just done and pursed her lips“ Lord Hou, I...... "
"What's bothering you?" He asked.
Cui mengzhang wiped the sweat from his head, lay down again and tucked in the quilt corner. For fear that Pei Zhengwen would be angry, he thought about opening his mouth: "I read a script a few days ago, telling the story of mountain ghosts and demons. It's terrible. I don't feel it during the day, but I always dream at night."
In fact, she did have something in her heart. Since she received Pei Shuo's letter and learned that he and Pei Xingzhi were on their way back to Beijing, a big stone hung in her heart. She can stay in Nanxun County on the grounds that the Mid Autumn Festival holiday is short and she has just entered the thatched cottage to adapt to learning. Now, close to the new year, she has no reason to stop Pei Shuo from coming back.
If she wants to stop, Pei Zhengwen won't agree, and her father-in-law won't agree. She's unhappy and everyone is upset.
But I thought that the evil god would come back, which might greatly affect her fate. Her heart was weighed down by the boulder. So at night, she always dreamed that Pei Shuo was coming to take her life, and then counted the time. It was within one or two days that he arrived in the capital, and she had nightmares more frequently. However, she couldn't say these words to Pei Zhengwen, so she had to hold it in her heart.
Pei Zhengwen said, "monsters and ghosts are terrible? I'm afraid my evil spirit has influenced you. "
Cui mengzhang's heart clicked and screamed. Did her reaction stab Pei Zhengwen?
Since she married Pei's house, it's no big deal to spend money on food and clothing. She is the biggest hostess in the house. There is no mother-in-law at the top and no sister-in-law at the bottom. Even if she has siblings, she has already divided the house. The only concubine is safe and dutiful. She has a happy life and has nothing to worry about.
If there is any regret, it is Pei Zhengwen's attitude towards her and Pei Shuo, the evil god who will affect her life.
The former is respectful to her, but not close to her. The latter, she begged not to send Pei Shuo far away from him, so as not to let him affect his life.
"What did Hou ye say? You are not only everyone's hero, but also a hero in my heart." Cui mengzhang took advantage of this to get close to Pei Zhengwen, put his head on Pei Zhengwen's chest, and his strong heart beat plop.
But as soon as she put it on the pillow, he moved his position, put her on his arm, away from his chest, and stroked her long hair. Cui mengzhang felt a little lost and summoned up his spirit to change the topic: "shuo'er's return should be the day after tomorrow. Should I ask a cook to pick them up?"
"These two days, I'm going to the military camp in the suburbs to take some soldiers. I should be back in time. Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi are still young, so they are free from the wind and wash the dust. Give them an extra dish. Go to sleep. "
Cui mengzhang nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi didn't come back until afternoon.
When the servant saw that the carriage stopped, he helped Pei Shuo down, unloaded the car quickly and carried luggage from the carriage.
Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi's faces were a little tired after being dusty for days.
As soon as she stepped into the door, a servant girl handed them a twisted handkerchief to clean their face. Bai Yun followed Pei Xingzhi's back and couldn't help glancing. This is the Pei family, the founding Hou's house!
That's all.
There is no gorgeous decoration and magnificent pomp.
There are less than five servant girls. They look ordinary and their clothes are not as fragrant as those in other hospitals. The materials are still comfortable. The rubble bricks trampled under their feet give a rough smell. The house is square and beautiful, not as exquisite and beautiful as those in Nanxun county.
Bai Yun concluded and couldn't help but curl her lips.
But soon, she regretted. Who can't compare it? This area alone is worth two separate hospitals!
She was panting, her face turned white, and her eyes looked straight at the ground. She was afraid that she would turn black when she raised her eyes. When she looked at Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi walking in front of her, they didn't breathe. The servant girl who followed her looked as usual. She was alone. Her temples were wet and clinging to her forehead. The sweat on her back was wet and dry. The wind was chilly, and even a smell of sweat came, The lily fragrance of the lavender is useless!
Only she is the most embarrassed.
Pei Shuo asked, "where's my father? I'll go and say hello to my father first."
The housekeeper replied that the founding Marquis went to the military camp to call troops. He thought a little. Please go and see Cui mengzhang.
Cui mengzhang received them in the flower hall.
She specially dressed up today. When she married in, she was less than twenty-nine young, not much bigger than Pei Shuo. She was afraid that she could not suppress the evil spirit. Please dress her up and wear the popular bead crown in the capital. The north beads are bright and large. She can wear narrow green gray short shoes, big red embroidered straight necked Ru shirt and white Luo wide pants. She looks stable, dignified and mature.
Pei Shuo and Cui mengzhang responded with a smile. Jianlan put on a wooden tire loose paint tray with two sachets on it. They thanked Pei Shuo and Pei Xingzhi one by one. Cui mengzhang said, "I think you are tired, so I won't leave you to talk. Let's have a rest. Xingzhi, go back quickly. Your mother nags you every day."
Pei Shuo is acutely aware that Cui mengzhang doesn't like him.
Well, he doesn't like her either.
When they went out of the flower hall together, Pei Xingzhi and Pei Shuo went their separate ways. Honeysuckle saw that Pei Shuo didn't go back to the yard, but went to the Zhengqi yard. He asked, "young master, aren't we going back?"
"My father is not here. Now that I'm back, I have to greet Grandpa."
In the flower hall, Cui mengzhang was relieved, pointing to the tea bowl and trembling slightly.
Jianlan quickly made tea for her and sent it to her mouth. When the hot tea flowed into her stomach, she felt calmer. She patted her chest and said to Jianlan, "Pei Shuo really bothered me. Just now he stood in front of me. I felt someone strangled my throat and my chest was stuffy and disgusting. In the future, he will stay at home for a long time until the grass grows and the Orioles fly next year. What should I do?"
Jianlan comforted Cui mengzhang: "madam, the eldest young master is over seven years old. He lives outside the courtyard on weekdays and won't meet often. Just bear it. Don't think too much about the important words of the second lady. If you really say it, aunt Feng is the only person closest to the eldest young master. It's not necessarily that she has something bad. The third young master is healthy and safe. If you allow your maidservant to say bravely, the evil spirit is not necessarily true, nor is the rise of yin and the decline of Yang necessarily true, but there must be nothing wrong with Pei Jiawang and Ding Buwang. "
Cui mengzhang unconsciously reached out and touched her abdomen. If she was pregnant, nine times out of ten she would be a son.
"Be talkative."
Jianlan noticed that her wife was in a better mood and had more smiles on her face. She tossed her wife about her gossip these days.
