Extra - Gu Nian: Attracted by beauty! Love at first sight!
On the carriage back.
Qiu Qiu smiled and said, "Miss, Mr. Pei is really handsome."
Gu Nian laughed out loud when he heard this, and said narcissistically, "You, just like your daughter, I have good taste."
"Of course, I am the lady's favorite maid." Qiu Qiu said proudly.
Gu Nian smiled even more happily when she heard that. Qiu Tian had been with her since he was a child, and the master and servant had a very good relationship.
Although Qiu Tian is lively, she is very steady in her work and is most appreciated by Gu Nian, who usually indulges her.
"Miss, you saved people this time and arranged work and accommodation for the mother and son. Is it because Mr. Pei is so handsome?" Qiu Tian joked.
"What nonsense! Your daughter is such a superficial person, how can I not have the heart of a bodhisattva?"
Gu Nian tapped Qiu on the head lightly and said in a pretended angry tone, while Qiu nodded frantically.
"If it were to help someone else, Miss might be kindhearted, but as for Mr. Pei, Miss is definitely motivated by his beauty!"
Qiu Tian knew his young lady very well, and Gu Nian laughed even more happily after hearing this.
"Who doesn't like a beautiful woman, especially one who is prettier than my father?"
Gu Nian held up his chin, his eyes full of admiration for Pei Yanqing.
She grew up surrounded by beauties. No matter her father, uncles, or cousins, none of them were ugly.
My aunts are all beauties, and the brothers they gave birth to are all very handsome.
Growing up in such an environment, Gu Nian has higher requirements for "beauty".
When she first met Pei Yanqing today, Gu Nian was amazed. She felt that he was a man even more amazing than her own father.
Gu Nian's feeling towards Pei Yanqing was like when you suddenly discovered a more handsome person, and out of pure admiration, you couldn't help but help him more.
"Miss, please don't let the master hear you say this, or he'll become autistic!"
Qiu Tian quickly reminded Gu Nian that everyone in the mansion knew that the young lady was the apple of the master's eye.
"You mean, if I praise others for being pretty, Dad will get angry?"
"Miss, I didn't say anything!"
Autumn is not the young lady's fate. The person she fears most in the mansion is the master.
"I won't tell Daddy, what are you afraid of? Besides, Master Pei is prettier than Daddy!"
Gu Nian felt that his father was the Prime Minister and would not be so petty.
"Miss, the master is now the Prime Minister, a powerful figure, and he is in love with his wife, and his children are filial. He doesn't rely on his looks to make a living."
Qiu Tian learned the term "making a living by relying on one's looks" from Gu Nian.
"But Daddy always said that he was able to live off Mom because of his looks. He was always proud of it and even mocked Second Uncle and Younger Uncle for being useless."
Being able to live off his wife is the proudest thing in Gu Jinghuai's life.
He never felt that this was something shameful, nor did he think it damaged a man's dignity.
His wife is the best in the world. If she likes him, it means he is good enough, otherwise why wouldn't she choose someone else?
Qiu Tian was too tired to complain because what the young lady said was right, and that was what the master thought.
"When Daddy was poor, Mom never disliked him. It was because she liked his face."
Gu Nian knew what his mother was like. His father had seduced his mother with his handsome face.
"But the master is also very kind to his wife!"
"Women naturally tend to be more partial to the ones they like." Gu Nian said as a matter of course.
"So, Miss, you really have a crush on Mr. Pei, and that's why you favor him so much?"
After going around in circles for a long time, Qiu Tian felt that his young lady was helping so much because Mr. Pei was handsome.
"Don't you also think Mr. Pei is handsome, so what's wrong with me thinking he's good-looking?" Gu Nian asked with a smile.
Qiu Qiu thought about it and felt that what his young lady said was very reasonable.
"That's right, Master Pei is so handsome, he is indeed very popular!"
Gu Nian smiled even more happily when she saw that she had finally gotten Qiu to fall into the trap.
The master and servant chatted happily in the carriage. After returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Nian went straight back to her own yard. She was tired after a whole day and wanted to have a good rest.
Here are the Pei family mother and son.
After Wang Lin settled the two of them, considering that they had just arrived in the capital, he arranged for his servants to deliver daily necessities such as rice, flour, grain, and oil.
Wang Lin was a smart man. He didn't send much, just enough for about ten days, so that the mother and son could settle down first.
Pei's mother and Pei Yanqing looked at the things Wang Lin sent and felt even more grateful.
"Yanqing, we must remember the great kindness of Miss Gu and Young Master Wang, and we will definitely repay them when we have the chance in the future."
Pei's mother is a person who knows how to be grateful, and she never forgets to remind her son Pei Yanqing.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely supervise and help Young Master Wang. As for Miss Gu, if there is a chance in the future, I will not hesitate." Pei Yanqing's eyes were full of determination.
"Miss Gu and Young Master Wang are both good people. We, mother and son, must also strive to be good. After a couple of days of rest, you can go to the academy with Young Master Wang. I have to go to work too."
Mother Pei felt that since Gu Nian and Wang Lin had made arrangements for them and their son, they should also work hard themselves.
"Mom, can your body hold on? Do you want to rest for a few more days?" Pei Yanqing was most worried about his mother's health.
"Nothing. Yesterday was a special case. Mom is usually in good health. Two days of rest is enough."
"We don't have much silver with us. You need money for your studies and for our daily life. The money the clan has collected is for your studies, and the money I earn is for the two of us to live on."
"I always listen to you, my son. I will definitely live up to your and my family's expectations."
Pei Yanqing was able to study in the capital thanks to the support of his mother and the Pei family. He kept it in mind and decided to repay his mother and family if he could pass the exam in the future.
"Don't feel so stressed. Just do your best. We've met a noble person since we first arrived in the capital. Mother believes our lives will get better and better."
"Well, my son believes it too!"
"Everything is almost packed, Mom will go make dinner."
Pei's mother and Pei Yanqing sorted out the things Wang Lin sent and prepared to cook dinner.
"Mom, let me help you!"
"No need, I will be fine soon by myself, you can go review your lessons!" Mother Pei was afraid that her son's studies would be delayed.
"Mother, studying doesn't matter for a while. I've memorized everything the teacher taught me. I fainted today, and I'm worried. Let's go together. I'll light the fire."
Pei Yanqing rejected his mother's kindness and went to the kitchen with her.
They had just arrived in the capital, and his mother had left her hometown to accompany him. How could he let his mother serve him? He wanted to share more of the burden and make his mother's life easier.
"Okay, let's go together, mother and son!" There were tears in Pei's mother's eyes. She knew that her son was filial.
The mother and son went to the kitchen and made some simple food. Although it was not delicacies, they were very satisfied.
