Chapter 401 Extra 11

Gu Xi hurriedly held Yuan Ge'er in his arms and kissed him again and again.

With his mother's comfort, Yuan Ge'er gradually calmed down and whispered, "Mom, I want to play with my brothers."

Still want to go.

Gu Xi had no choice but to continue coaxing his son: "Look, there are so many people around the two uncles. What if they bump into you again like they did just now? Let's wait for a while until the people around the uncles finish talking to him, then we can go find them to play, okay?"

Yuan Ge'er has always been obedient and nodded continuously when he heard this.

He would occasionally go to other people's homes with his mother. Except for his uncle's home, the children at other homes didn't take good care of him, so he didn't like playing with them.

Gu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

In such situations, she was afraid that the child would make a scene and appear particularly uneducated. She rarely took her child out because she was afraid that her child would have a conflict with others. She felt sorry for her child when she suppressed him, but when she didn't, it seemed as if she was unwilling to discipline her child.

Gu Xi patted the child's back gently, and then she saw that Jiang Ge'er had somehow become the leader of the group of children. The group of children surrounded him and Xu Xuan's eldest son. Jiang Ge'er also held his younger brother and ran out of the warm pavilion.

Yuan Ge'er became anxious and turned to look at his mother: "Brother..."

Gu Xi was also surprised.

It's still snowing outside!

If you fall and get frozen, it will be a serious matter.

She hesitated whether to say anything.

Who would have thought that Madam Qin Fei, who had been sitting quietly among the crowd, suddenly said to the nanny beside her: "Go and see if the eldest young master has woken up. If he has, take him to play with Young Master Pei and Young Master Yin."

Qin was already quite old when she got married, and Fei Zhiwen was even older. They had a son in middle age, and their son and daughter were very spoiled. The children usually slept until they woke up naturally, and they ate and drank whatever they wanted, without any care. In addition, Fei Zhiwen was not only promoted to the Minister of Personnel and was in charge of the promotion and assessment of officials, but was also a favorite and a favored minister in front of two emperors. No one wanted to offend him, so the children were told not to play with their children. Qin seemed to be unaware of this, and she took the two children with her wherever she went. For example, today, when they came to visit the Yin family, other children got up early, and after arriving, they all greeted the elders first. After greeting the children of the old friends, they would be taken away by the wet nurse or entertained with colorful clothes according to the situation, and chat with them. Only the two children of the Fei family, it is said that they got up too early today and fell asleep in the carriage. When they arrived at the Yin family, after greeting the elders who arrived earlier than their family with sleepy eyes, they asked Xu Xuan for a private room and let the housekeeper nanny beside them take them downstairs to continue sleeping.

I wonder what these two kids will become when they grow up!

Gu Xi curled his lips.

Xu Xuan was afraid that Yu Tang might misunderstand her, so she whispered to him, "Both of their children are very well-behaved, not as spoiled as people say. As for why they became like this today, it's probably because everyone thinks they haven't done much, and haven't made many mistakes, so they keep their distance from them."

After hearing this, Yu Tang's heart moved.

Jiang'er and Qian'er had no playmates in Lin'an except the nephews and nieces of the Pei family. Even when they returned to the Yu family, Xiang Shi would mostly respect the two children.

She suddenly wanted to live in the capital for a few more years.

Because of what happened to Peng Shiyi before, not only was she scared, but Pei Yan was also scared. She didn't know if she was Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, and this life was also a dream. She thought that if this was really a dream, then she would have no regrets in this dream. Whether it was taking care of Pei Yan's food, clothing, housing and transportation, coaxing Pei Yan's emotions, or following Pei Yan's desires, Yu Tang was happy to do it and tried her best to do it well.

The two of them live in Lin'an and are very sweet.

Pei Yan, however, felt that since Yu Tang's dream ended with the new emperor ascending the throne, it meant that after the first year was changed, Yu Tang should have a safe journey and everything would go smoothly. After all, the outside world was someone else's territory, unlike Lin'an or Hangzhou, where any disturbance would not escape his eyes. The best way was to keep Yu Tang in his palm, and he had to watch over her everywhere and guard her all the time to feel at ease.

As for the fame and fortune turmoil outside, if he wants to step down, it is never too late.

It was not until the present emperor sat on the throne that he finally swallowed his anger.

After swallowing it, he couldn't help but feel a little excited. It happened that Wei Xiaochuan was coming to the capital to take the scientific examination. After thinking about it, he simply brought Yu Tang and the children to the capital, so that the children could see things and get to know people. No matter what you do in the future, you will have help.

He also wants to take Yu Tang to Mount Tai!

Of course, this time it's better.

In addition to Yu Tang, there are two other children and his mother.

More fulfilling than last time.

Perhaps because she is a mother, Yu Tang prefers to stay at home. Even when she goes to Mount Tai, she is more concerned about Pei Yan's mood and wants to let the two children see more.

She was thinking more about the children.

There are many hidden talents in the capital. The Pei family is powerful, but there are even more powerful ones than the Pei family. People will not only support their children regardless of right or wrong, and the children will find it easier to make like-minded friends.

When she got home, she discussed the matter with Pei Yan.

Pei Yan said nothing and asked about Fei Zhiwen's two children: "What do you think of them?"

He had been a guest in the outer courtyard today and had no idea what had happened in the inner house.

Yu Tang thought Pei Yan had also heard the rumor that the two children of the Fei family were too well-fed, so he took the teacup from the maid and handed it to Pei Yan himself. He also sat down next to Pei Yan and said with a smile, "Their son is one year older than our Qian'er. I think he has the same gentle and shy personality as our Qian'er. When he was playing with our Qian'er, he even held our hands. When Qian'er touched the cat, she let Qian'er touch it first. As for their daughter, she just turned one year old and was still held in the arms of the wet nurse. She couldn't speak clearly. How could she be delicate? How could she not be touched? I think people who say this have bad intentions. Besides, if I had two children like this, I would definitely protect them like the apple of my eye."

Pei Yan was stunned and asked, "Brother Qian is playing with a cat again? Where did the Yin family get this cat?"

Yu Tang smiled and said, "Of course they raised it. If it wasn't raised, who would dare to let the children touch it? Even if I agreed, Mrs. Yin wouldn't agree!"

Pei Yan nodded.

Yu Tang recalled the time when Xu Xuan teased Xi Ge'er, and told Pei Yan about it as a joke: "Xi Ge'er insisted on bringing their little girl back home, and Xi Ge'er was so anxious that he almost cried."

Pei Yan glanced at Yu Tang with a half-smile.

Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Pei Yan, hesitant to speak.

Pei Yanke has never been a person who is ambiguous. Seeing this, he simply made things clear to Yu Tang: "I asked the two children of the Fei family about this. Lord Fei wants to marry into our family. If the daughter is not suitable, the son will also be fine. I'm afraid Xu's intention is the same. As for Madam Fei's intention to let her eldest son play with the Jiang brothers, I guess the couple talked about this matter, and Madam Fei thought it was a good idea after meeting our two children, so she spoke up."

Yu Tang, however, had no intention of arranging the marriage of his children so early.

No matter what, children’s preferences are also important!

At the beginning, Old Madam Pei did not interfere too much in the marriages of Pei Yan and his brothers, which was why she and Pei Yan were able to have a happy marriage. Although she does not have the vision and breadth of mind of Old Madam Pei, she can learn from her!

She couldn't help but feel a little headache: "The child is still so young, it's too early to say these things."

"I thought so too." Pei Yan said, "That's why I rejected Fei Zhiwen today, saying that our child should not be married until he is old enough to dance with a spoon."

Yu Tang heard this and asked nervously, "What does Master Fei say?"

"Of course they want to marry into our family more!" Pei Yan said, "The children of both families have never worshipped the Chicken Pox Goddess!"

If you get engaged too early and something unexpected happens, it will be bad for the child's reputation.

Yu Tang heaved a sigh of relief, but then began to worry about Empress Pox: "Jiang'er is already six years old."

Usually children start offering sacrifices to the Goddess of Smallpox when they are six or seven years old.

Pei Yan hugged Yu Tang and said, "Don't worry, I brought an experienced doctor with me, and he will keep an eye on Jiang'er's condition."

He often played with his two sons. If Jiang'er really was Empress Xiao, Pei Yan would definitely find out soon given his attentiveness.

In order to divert Yu Tang's attention, Pei Yan even talked about a new idea that came to him after he came to the capital: "I tested Hong Ge'er's homework these two days and found that his basic knowledge is particularly weak. He has never heard of some common sense that I understood at his age. This child has no talent for studying and is not interested in it. I want to discuss with you to let Hong Ge'er be the eldest son."

Yu Tang was shocked.

This means that the position of clan leader will be given to the second branch.

Only ten years had passed since the last disturbance.

Will the elders of the Pei family agree?

She hurriedly asked, "Does Mom know about this?"

Pei Yan shook his head and said, "I came up with this idea when I observed Hong Ge's childhood these past two days. I was ready to hear your thoughts first."

The Pei family was wealthy, and whoever became the clan leader would be able to control such a large amount of wealth. Especially when the children did not have the talent for studying, it was particularly important to have a say in the clan and be able to control such a large amount of wealth.

But in this case, Zong Fang would be suspected of clinging to power.

Yu Tang said, "I think you should be careful. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. The succession rights of the clan leader in your family are related to the prosperity and decline of the clan, so you must be cautious."

Pei Yan nodded and said seriously: "I will just talk to you about this matter. I still need to take a closer look to see whether Hong Ge'er can get it. I won't discuss it with the elders at home so soon."

Yu Tang said "hmm".

The more Pei Yan thought about it, the more he felt that this was a better approach.

Why did the ancestors of the Pei family stipulate that the head of the Pei family was not allowed to enter the officialdom? Firstly, the family affairs were trivial and it would take a lot of effort to manage them well; secondly, they were afraid that the head of the family would be involved in disputes in the court and eventually bring disaster to the family.

Jiang'er is not only smart, but also has other ambitions. He doesn't want to put his son in shackles so early.

Even if he didn't choose Hong Ge'er, he decided to choose someone else.

It's just that choosing Hong Ge'er would be better for the royal family.
