On the way to Aunt Pei's house, Xiao Yunyu arranged a subordinate who was familiar with the road to drive the carriage.
Pei Yanli is now the garrison commander of Xidi City. He bought a two-story house in the city and hired a maid to serve Aunt Pei.
Also, because Aunt Pei was in a strange place and didn't know anyone there, she didn't have many opportunities to be a good person and do good things, so the Pei family's conditions now were much better than before in Dong'an City.
Because she really has no other interests or hobbies, and she doesn't know how to do the elegant things that old ladies in official families do, nor does she like them.
So, she turned the areas in the house where flowers and plants were originally grown into vegetable plots.
If she wasn't afraid that Pei Yanli's colleagues would smell the stench of feces when they came to her house, Aunt Pei would have wanted to pull out the flowers and trees in front of the lobby in the front yard as well.
At this time, Aunt Pei was planting vegetables in the yard.
When I heard the servants say that two noble ladies had arrived, I was a little surprised for a moment.
Thinking it was the wives of Pei Yanli's colleagues who came to visit, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Tell them to wait in the front yard for a while. Tell them I'll be there as soon as I'm done packing."
"Okay!"
As Aunt Pei walked towards her room, she wondered, "Whose lady is here at this hour?"
The two best friends prepared the gifts when they were in Beijing.
After hearing the message from the old woman of the Pei family, he waited patiently in the front yard.
Li Sisi whispered, "Niannian, Aunt Pei's life is getting better now. When we first met, she had to clean such a big house by herself, do the laundry, and cook. She had to get up early every morning and work hard, and only had time to rest when the sun went down in the evening."
Li Nian glanced at the foam in the teacup in her hand and replied in a low voice, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a little busy. It makes every day more fulfilling. Aunt Pei is a hardworking person to begin with."
"I feel bad. She used to rent out her side yard for rent, but now she can afford to hire servants. She can do whatever she wants on her own time. How great."
As the two were talking, they saw Aunt Pei in a blue brocade robe walk in. The golden hairpin in her bun was dazzling against the light.
Li Sisi stood up happily and walked towards her without any unfamiliarity: "Aunt Pei!"
When Aunt Pei heard her voice, she looked at her unexpectedly.
Li Sisi was wearing a smoky blue brocade long dress, and her hair was decorated with a smoky blue hairpin dotted with pure white pearls.
A happy smile on his face.
Aunt Pei was a little dazed and thought she had made a mistake.
Then I heard Li Sisi's playful tone: "Auntie, it's only been a while since we last met. You wouldn't have forgotten me, would you?"
"Sisi?" Aunt Pei's face was full of surprise. "Why are you back?"
"I came with Nian Nian and my husband's sister to find Big Brother." Li Sisi answered frankly and straightforwardly.
Aunt Pei was a little confused by what she said. After a while, she realized that the husband she was talking about was the censor in the capital.
As for her elder brother, he should be referring to Nian Nian’s husband, General Xiao.
"Auntie, it's been a while since we last met. Are you feeling well?"
Aunt Pei looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Nian, wearing a lilac gauze gown, smiling at her faintly.
She has a slender and dignified figure, black hair, red lips, fair skin and bright eyes.
Although her outfit is not as gorgeous as Li Sisi's, and is a bit simple and elegant, it adds a touch of cool and gentle temperament.
Aunt Pei was stunned for a few moments, and suddenly remembered that when she first met them, she felt that the two of them had a completely different temperament from the simple and casual girls from the Northwest.
Li Nian came closer holding Jinhe: "Jinhe, call grandma."
Aunt Pei stared blankly at the little girl in pink clothes in Li Nian's arms. A pair of big black eyes on her fair and tender face looked at her curiously.
Tian Nuonuo said: "Good milk, good health."
"Hey! Good." Aunt Pei finally came to her senses and asked in surprise, "Jinhe has grown so big?"
Li Nian smiled and replied, "Yes."
Aunt Pei nodded and sighed, "Children grow up quickly, and we grow old quickly too."
"Auntie looks much younger now than before," said Li Nian.
Li Sisi handed the gift she had prepared long ago to Aunt Pei: "Auntie, this is a small gift that Nian Nian and I brought from the capital. Please accept it."
Aunt Pei's heart skipped a beat when she saw the corner of clothes sticking out from the package.
She now has some knowledge about clothes and accessories. This dress is obviously embroidered with gold thread, and each piece costs several hundred taels in the shop!
"Oh, I'm already very happy that you remember an old woman like me. Why are you giving me such a valuable gift?" Aunt Pei refused. "No, no!"
Li Sisi forcefully stuffed the bundle into her hands. "This dress is custom-made to your measurements, so it's not returnable! Besides, it's not something expensive. It's just a dress and a bag you usually carry with you when you go out."
"When we were in Dong'an City, Nian Nian and I received a lot of care from you. Please don't refuse."
"Oh, this, this is really a waste of money for you." Aunt Pei was happy about the two people's filial piety. Her smile couldn't help but grow wider, but she said, "Look at you, you just came, why give such expensive gifts!"
Seeing Aunt Pei's expression, Li Sisi knew that she accepted it.
Holding her hand, he said, "It's not expensive, but I don't know if the dress will fit. Why don't you try it on? And this bag, Nian Nian and I picked it out together, specially to match this dress..."
Li Sisi and Aunt Pei started chatting, and the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated.
It's like going back to the time when we were together, so friendly and warm.
Aunt Pei now only wants to have grandchildren, but her two sons are too old to get married.
In addition, there was no one to talk to when she came here before, so now that she opened her mouth, she talked endlessly.
I wanted to tell them everything that happened when they were not around.
"Oh, you don't know! Yanli is that stubborn guy. No matter how many girls I introduced to him, he just won't agree!" Aunt Pei suddenly remembered that Pei Yanli and Li Sisi had such a past, and she shut up immediately.
The tone suddenly changed: "After all the hard work, Xingmian is willing to get close to him, but he is so cold all day long. It's only because Xingmian has a good personality that she doesn't bother with him."
"Madam, Miss Su is here." The maid who was waiting outside came in to deliver the message.
Aunt Pei's face lit up with joy: "Oh, what a coincidence! You can stay for lunch and have lunch together."
At this time, Su Xingmian, dressed in red, rushed in.
In a cheerful tone, he said, "Auntie, I heard that you have a distinguished guest at home?"
