Chapter 27: Too Popular What to Do

This day.

Lin set out from Hexi Village and first went to visit her son Cui Yu.

Then he came to visit his nephew Cui Xian.

Waited until outside the Pei Mansion.

Seeing the imposing gate from afar, she hesitated and dared not go forward.

It happened at this time.

Three luxurious carriages, carrying servants and generous gifts, came to visit Pei Mansion.

Lin hid in the corner and waited for the nobles to go in.

Then he mustered up the courage to go forward and ask the doorman: "Excuse me...Excuse me, young man, do you know Cui Xian?"

The doorman looked impatient when he saw a country woman coming.

But after hearing what the other party said, his eyes widened: "I know him, I know him! Who are you?"

The servant's attitude suddenly became very warm.

Lin was startled and said anxiously, "I... I came to give him something and say a few words."

Upon hearing this, the servant became more attentive: "Are you a relative of Mr. Cui Xian? Well, come in with me and meet the old lady."

When the old lady learned that Cui Xian's family had arrived, she would definitely give them a warm welcome.

Lin panicked when she heard this: "No, no need! I'll wait here. Please ask Cui Xian to come out."

Xian'er is a servant in Pei's mansion.

There are many rules in wealthy families, and Lin was afraid of causing trouble for Xian'er, so how could she dare to go in?

Ah this.

When the servant heard this, he scratched his head and looked at Lin in confusion, but still did as he was told and went in to find Brother Cui Xian.

In fact, Lin was also confused.

She just came to visit her nephew, why did she have to meet the old lady of Pei Mansion?

·

Pei family, main hall.

Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhuang were waiting eagerly with their sons.

Their servants, each holding gifts, filled the entire hall.

Madam Pei and the Pei Jians, both grandfather and grandson, looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

These three families spent a huge amount of money to snatch Xiang'er.

So shameless!

When Cui Xian was called over by the housekeeper, he was still a little confused.

When he walked outside the main hall, he saw the astonishing scene inside and was immediately shocked.

In the main hall, the ladies' eyes lit up when they saw Cui Xian.

April is sunny and breezy.

Rhododendrons, crabapples and peonies are in full bloom.

The handsome young boy who came from the corridor had fair skin, delicate features, a straight back and outstanding temperament.

Like a handsome man, more charming than a flower.

It's really amazing.

The ladies had come here to snatch Cui Xian, and now seeing him in this state, they were really shocked!

So, under the astonished gaze of everyone.

Madam Gao, the captain of the Qianhu family, stood up and took Cui Xian, who had just entered the hall, into her arms: "You must be Cui Xian, you are indeed a handsome man. I am Gao Qi's mother, you can call me Aunt Gao."

"In recent days, Gao Qi has been studying hard. It's all thanks to you. Auntie has brought a gift to thank you."

ah?

The fragrance wafted into Cui Xian's nose, and he was stunned when he was hugged by a strange lady.

He struggled to get up from the other's arms and said shyly, "It turned out to be Aunt Gao. Brother Gao Qi is extremely talented and full of talent. He is willing to study hard. He is motivated by himself. It has nothing to do with me."

Ouch!

This child is not only handsome, but also sweet-spoken.

Mrs. Gao, the captain of a thousand households, felt her heart almost melted, and she became even more determined to bring Cui Xian home.

But I never thought about it.

Beside them, Zhuang Jinniang suddenly pushed Mrs. Gao, the captain of the household, away, took Cui Xian's hand and smiled warmly, "Good boy, I am your Aunt Zhuang, Zhuang Jin's mother."

"Let aunt have a good look. Oh, what a handsome boy."

As Zhuang Jinniang spoke, she touched Cui Xian's pretty face.

Cui Xian blushed: "Auntie... there are differences between men and women."

Zhuang Jinniang laughed so hard when she heard this that she couldn't straighten her back.

Take advantage of her laughter.

Li Heyu's mother 'grabbed' Cui Xian and said warmly: "I am Heyu's mother, you can just call me Aunt Li. Brother Xian, Aunt also brought you a lot of good things today."

More than a dozen servants of the Li family came to Cui Xian with gift boxes in their hands.

"Blue brick carved paperweight, mortise and tenon structure pen holder, Lu Ban ruler, ceramic tile inkstone, camphor wood openwork pen holder... Do you like it?"

Madam Li introduced them one by one and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't find any that you like. You can go home with your aunt and come to the mansion to pick whatever you want."

Cui Xian exclaimed in a way that sounded like he had never seen the world before.

Madam Zhuang sneered and said unyieldingly, "Brother Xian, look at what Aunt Zhuang gave you."

More than a dozen servants of the banker also held gift boxes for Cui Xian to see.

"A red lacquer and gold-painted box, a nine-linked ring made of cloisonné enamel, an ivory abacus with a tortoise-shell frame, a Zhang velvet-surfaced table, a rhinoceros-horn-carved cricket jar, a silver-gilt longevity lock, a Yue kiln celadon pillow... If you come to my house, I'll have something even better for you."

Good job!

Cui Xian’s eyes widened.

Mrs. Gao was not to be outdone: "Brother Xian, Aunt Gao also gave you a gift."

then.

A dozen servants of the Gao family held gifts, pushed aside the servants of the Zhuang and Li families, and came to Cui Xian.

"A birch-wood ox-horn bow, a bamboo-wood oxhide shield, a copper tiger charm pendant, a wood-clad iron training spear, and a young horse with shiny hair... You should go with your aunt today, to her house, and learn horseback archery with Gao Qi."

Cui Xian was dazzled by what he saw.

It turns out that it’s not the eldest brother who is domineering.

She’s eldest brother’s mother!

But Cui Xian didn't dare to accept these gifts.

He was keenly aware that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the main hall.

The three aunts were competing secretly.
