Chapter 276 Enthusiasm
After temporarily comforting Sister Fang, Pei Xin'er and Sun left the children's room. They had done what they had to do, and let the children solve the rest by themselves. Children of the same age are more capable when they stay together.
Influencing each other and comforting each other are more useful than what adults say. Of course, the premise is that there is a child who can guide them in the right direction, and Pei Xin'er believes that Sister Ling's daughter will be able to do this well.
.
Although Mrs. Sun was still a little reluctant to leave, she still walked out obediently at Pei Xiner's signal. The two of them did not go far, and secretly watched the children outside the window. They saw Sister Ling arranging things in an orderly manner as the eldest sister.
Sister and Brother Chun soon started playing together. Sister Fang watched them, and under Sister Ling's intentional guidance, she soon entered the role of sister and companion, taking care of her younger siblings while joining in.
After seeing them, he threw aside all the fears and worries he had just now and stopped thinking about them.
The two then laughed, looked at each other, and then walked out of the courtyard together and returned to the main room. Pei Xiner asked Sun to sit down and asked, "Sister, what's the matter with coming to see me?"
After this experience, Ms. Sun had given up her original idea and had no intention of sitting down. She said goodbye to Pei Xiner and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to see if there is anything Sister Pei needs my help with."
, Now it seems that my worries will be unfounded. Sister Pei has just come back, and there must be a lot of things to do, so I won’t disturb you and will take my leave."
Pei Xiner didn't say anything more, she just smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Sun, for your thoughtfulness. In this case, you can go back first and come to me if you need anything."
Mrs. Sun nodded, turned around and walked out. However, after taking a few steps, she stopped again, turned around and said to Pei Xiner: "By the way, Sister Pei, you and I are not at home these days, and the old lady and madam are not very old."
It's all about other things. So Sister Li has more contact with the two beauties from the palace. I don't know if this is a good thing or not, I just want to tell Sister Pei."
Pei Xiner was stunned for a moment, then smiled, nodded and said, "I understand, thank you Sister Sun for informing me."
Mrs. Sun smiled, turned around and left without saying much.
Pei Xiner fell into deep thought.
In fact, even if Mrs. Sun didn't say anything about this, she would have known about it sooner or later. The two beauties Zhao Yutang had placed there were not left in vain. There were people watching inside and outside, and anyone who had gone in would know.
It was recorded. What Sun did was far from "whistleblowing". However, as far as she was concerned, it was not necessary to do it. It was none of her business. If she didn't say anything, no one would accuse her of it.
She, but now that she has said it, it means a lot more.
She pondered for a long time, sighed slightly, and asked Ruiniang to call all the women in charge of the house and report to her what happened at home these days. On the days when she went out, she had already arranged for the women in charge to take responsibility.
If she has any doubts about her own affairs, she will go to the old lady and Mrs. Zhao for advice. But as the current housekeeper, she herself has to understand what happened, even if it has been solved.
Be aware of it.
The housekeepers and ladies in the General's Mansion had long been accustomed to Pei Xiner's management, and now they behaved well and reported things one by one. Pei Xiner listened to them one by one and did not care whether they made false reports or concealed information.
Although she was not here, it did not mean that she did not send people to keep an eye on them. After listening to their reports, she would also verify them with the news she received. If she found any discrepancies, she would be able to determine whether it was the case or not.
Someone is causing trouble, and someone has evil intentions.
After the wives of each family had finished speaking, she thought for a while and asked: "How are Aunt Sun, Aunt Li and the two girls doing these days? Is there anything disrespectful about treating them?"
The ladies from each family hurriedly shook their heads and said that there was nothing strange, just like when she was at home. The two beauties from the palace had always been peaceful, neither demanding too much nor making any noise.
Everything is in order.
Pei Xiner said calmly: "Really? Is it so quiet? Don't they ever interact with each other? How boring those days must be!"
The mother-in-law who was responsible for taking care of the two beauties was startled, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She stepped forward and said, "Replying to aunt, Aunt Sun has been staying quietly in her room."
I seldom walked around in the yard, but Aunt Li visited the two girls a few times, and each time she left after about half an hour. After that, the two girls did not do anything unusual."
Pei Xiner nodded, said nothing more, picked up the teacup, and said, "I'm not at home these days, so I'm sorry to trouble you all. You all did your own things very well, and nothing went wrong. I'm sorry for that."
I will report to the old lady and madam, those who have meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished. You all can go down."
The ladies did not dare to say anything and retreated quietly in order. Pei Xiner waited until they were all gone before calling Ruiniang and said, "Let's go and see the two girls."
Ruiniang understood and hurriedly called the two wives, plus Ying'er and Juan'er, and the group walked toward the residence of the two palace beauties.
Although the Queen Mother gave them to Zhao Yutang, she could not force Zhao Yutang to accept them. Therefore, until now, they are still unidentified concubines. In this family, they are neither servants nor masters, and can only be regarded as unclear.
She is called "girl". Fortunately, there are two old people in this family, namely Pei Xiner and the three of them. There are no extra women, so everyone knows who they are talking about.
Ruilan and Ruixiang didn't know the news until Pei Xin'er came to the door. They hurriedly greeted them. They saw Pei Xin'er walking over with many people. When they got close, they rushed to say, "Two girls, without waiting for them to speak."
How are you living here? Since you guys moved in, I've either been too busy or been out and about, so I haven't come over to visit you. I hope the two girls don't mind."
Ruilan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Aunt Pei is too polite. It's us who have caused trouble to her. Aunt Pei is busy with housework and has many things to do. We knew this a long time ago. We should have gone to see you a long time ago.
Yes, who knew you would come here in person, how could we feel so happy?"
With that said, he welcomed her into the house.
Pei Xin'er was not polite and followed them into the room, looked around, and then said with a smile: "The two girls came from the palace and have a broad experience. They have seen all the splendid things. Our little
We are from a small family, so simple that it makes you laugh. If there is anything you two are not used to, or if there is something missing, just tell me and I will try my best to make it happen for you."
Ruilan listened to her words, and the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she became. She seemed enthusiastic, but she was treating the guests with the same enthusiasm, as if they were just temporary guests. This was not the original intention of their coming here.
!
Ruilan then cautiously and tentatively said: "What did my aunt say? Although we sisters came out of the palace, now that we are here, we are people here, so why should my aunt be polite to us? Besides, the palace
No matter how nice it is here, we sisters are nothing more than slaves, so how can we enjoy anything? On the contrary, here, my aunt, the general, and the old lady and madam all treat us very well, so what else do we have?
Unsatisfactory?"
Ruixiang also smiled and said: "Yes, Auntie, the life we have here is something we couldn't even imagine before. It's already very good, Auntie doesn't have to worry."
After hearing this, Pei Xiner raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "I feel relieved after hearing what you two said. Otherwise, if I ask you later and say that I didn't take good care of you, I really don't know what to do."
Good!"
After saying that, he sat down and talked with the two beauties. They mostly talked about the life in the general's palace and some interesting things about them in the palace, bit by bit.
Ruilan and Ruixiang were a little nervous and confused at first, but as they slowly started chatting, those feelings gradually faded and they were able to relax.
By the time Pei Xiner stood up to say goodbye, they had already gotten along well, as if they had been good sisters for many years. The two of them walked Pei Xiner to the door, watched her go away, and then returned to their own rooms.
Ruilan picked up the tea cup and drank a large cup, then smiled triumphantly and said: "I knew that they would not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's decree. So what if we have been cold for so long? We still have to hurry up.
Come to curry favor with us? It seems that the time for the general to favor us is coming. Otherwise, Pei Xin'er wouldn't come here to curry favor with us. So what if she is the housekeeper and grandma? As long as we can capture the general's favor, we don't have to be afraid.
Anyone!"
Ruixiang was not as happy as she was. She sat alone and fell into deep thought.
With Pei Xin'er's current power and status, does she still need to please anyone? Besides, she has always avoided direct contact with them, but she came to visit so proactively today. It couldn't be just a whim, right? What's inside her gourd?
What kind of medicines are being sold?!
Not only Ruixiang was puzzled by this, but Ruiniang and the others were also extremely confused by Pei Xin'er's behavior. Originally, they thought they were going to show off to the two beauties after seeing so many people, but they didn't expect that she and them
But they were chatting happily and seemed harmonious. What on earth is going on?
Ruiniang saw that Ying'er and Juan'er had no intention of speaking, so she asked herself, "Auntie, what are your plans for those two girls? Do you really want the general to take them in?"
