Chapter 361: Three Days Return
Pei Ji prepared the gift for the return visit on the third day. Song Ci originally planned to take care of it himself, but Pei Ji said, "You've worked hard these past few days. Let me take care of everything."
The so-called hardship made her cheeks red, and then she thought of Pei Ji's absurd behavior that night, and suddenly felt that it was natural for him to prepare it.
Pei Ji was really acting too recklessly, like a hungry beast.
The return gift followed the rules, but Pei Ji went beyond the rules and prepared something even more expensive. Song Ci was a little surprised, "Are these all brought back?"
Pei Ji: "Yes."
Song Ci: "Isn't it a bit too expensive?"
Pei Ji: "It's for your family, nothing to worry about."
Seeing him say this, Song Ci had nothing to say.
However, if someone heard it, it would inevitably spread throughout the yard. The servants had a deeper understanding of the fact that Pei Ji doted on and valued Song Ci, but Mrs. Pei was fanning the flames in front of Old Master Pei.
"Our Pei family is a powerful and noble family after all. Why is Pei Ji still eagerly trying to curry favor with the Song family? I think the things he sent back are enough to marry a princess or a county lady."
"It's a bit too grand." Old Master Pei was also displeased. In his mind, people should be treated in the same way as they are treated.
Pei Ji is too fond of Song porcelain, which is not a good thing.
If Song Ci is spoiled and becomes lawless, the family will be in chaos in the future.
"I'm right, right? It's not that I don't like Song Dynasty porcelain, but if we keep going like this, there will be problems sooner or later."
Seeing that there were results and that Mr. Pei was obviously helping her, Mrs. Pei was obviously happier.
"I'll tell him later. As for Heng'er's marriage, you should also pay attention to it."
"yes."
Speaking of her own marriage, Mrs. Pei was also very worried. She hoped that her son would marry a noble lady to surpass Song Ci, but she also did not want the other party to be so disrespectful as to look down on her as the mother-in-law. It would be best if she was obedient.
So, the situation is deadlocked here. There is no one in the world who can have the best of both worlds.
The carriage kicked up a cloud of dust and soon arrived at the Song family's door. Qiao Xianglan had sent people to sweep the house early in the morning, and they had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the carriage coming, her eyes turned red. Song Lao San comforted her, "You are back now. Ask your daughter whether you are doing well or not. Don't cry."
Qiao Xianglan nodded, "I know."
Qiao Yu watched the interaction between the two with envy, secretly sighing at the deep love between her aunt and uncle. Thinking of this, she subconsciously glanced at Song Lan. Seeing that he was watching the carriage approaching with excitement on his face, she couldn't help but smile too.
Qiao Suo became even more excited. As soon as Song Ci got off the carriage, he pestered her with questions.
Girls who are about to get married always have endless things to talk about when it comes to getting married.
Everyone walked in together, Qiao Yun fell behind, but his faint gaze always stayed on Pei Ji's face beside Song Ci.
Pei Ji seemed more handsome than before, smiling more often than before, and his features were picturesque.
Coupled with the composure she had cultivated over the years, Qiao Yun couldn't bear to look away. She asked herself more than once, why wasn't such a good man her husband?
With such good looks and good family background, she would be willing to be a concubine.
The return gifts were piled up on the floor in the room. Song Lao San was grinning from ear to ear, "If you're going back, why did you bring so many things?"
Pei Ji: "This is what I should do. My father-in-law and mother-in-law gave birth to Song Ci and made her grow up so beautifully. I am grateful to them."
His words were sincere, and Song Laosan laughed even more happily. Qiao Xianglan also had a better understanding of their relationship, and some of the doubts and worries in her heart finally dissipated.
Pei Ji asked Song Laosan some more questions about the imperial examination. Although he did not need to take the imperial examination, he knew the character of the examiner this time. This information was of great help to Song Laosan.
Everyone in the Song family sighed and realized how important it was to have a capable in-law in the family.
While they were chatting, Qiao Xianglan pulled Song Ci out.
The mother and daughter talked in private behind closed doors.
Qiao Xianglan: "How is it? Is Pei Ji treating you well?" She looked Song Ci up and down: "I don't think there's anything wrong with you, but I won't feel at ease if I don't ask you."
Song Ci smiled and let her look at him, "Mom, you worry too much. Pei Ji treats me very well."
Then he talked about how Pei Ji protected him in the Pei family.
Qiao Xianglan: "Your mother-in-law is really abominable. She really wants to make things difficult for you. You better be careful."
Song Ci: "Mom, she wants to make things difficult for me. No matter how careful I am, it's useless. She will find fault anyway. In short, we have to fight back when the enemy comes and block the water when the water comes."
Qiao Xianglan held her hand and said, "Mother has always felt that Madam Pei is not a good person. I am really worried."
Song Ci pretended to be angry: "Does my mother think that I am so useless? If she wants to harm me or embarrass me, I have my own ways and will not be bullied easily."
"Okay, okay, I was worrying too much."
After hearing these words, Qiao Xianglan finally felt much better.
Sure enough, what Song Lao San said was right. Instead of guessing in my heart, it is better to ask directly, which can also resolve a doubt in my heart.
Qiao Xianglan probed again, "Are you feeling so unwell? As a newlywed couple... you should exercise some restraint."
In a word, Song Ci was so embarrassed that his face turned red.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Mother is not worried about your health. You have not been in good health since childhood, and Pei Ji is in his prime."
Seeing that she was really worried, Song Ci coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, mother, Pei Ji... is still very gentle."
Qiao Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
Then he said, "You are still young, take good care of yourselves, it's not too late to have children later."
Song Ci blushed, "Mom, why did you suddenly bring up the child?"
Qiao Xianglan was a little worried. "You're still young. I heard people say that it's safer to give birth when your mother is older. Even though you're sixteen now, you're still a little young. I don't know if my son-in-law agrees. You can ask him later."
Song Ci didn't want to have a child so soon, so she nodded in agreement.
Qiao Xianglan: "He said he wouldn't take a concubine in the future, but don't really believe him. Men's words...are only true for a few years, not in the future."
Song Ci couldn't help but ask back: "Could it be that Dad lied to Mom?"
Qiao Xianglan: "Not really, but how many men in the world are like your father?"
Song Ci thought that this was true.
Apart from anything else, my father is devoted to my mother and has never had any other thoughts.
Otherwise, Old Lady Song would have stuffed countless people into the third room.
Song Laosan has never wavered on this point.
She couldn't help but wonder, if one day Pei Ji changed his mind and really wanted to take a concubine, what would she do then? Would she magnanimously agree, or decisively refuse?
Both answers in her heart were no, she thought, and she would leave.
