Chapter 372 A sudden visit
Song Ci: "Father, I'm here for the kitchen matter."
He then told him everything that had happened, but Master Pei kept frowning.
"Father, the people in the kitchen don't want me to take charge of them. They say they are Madam's people and I can't control them. I want to ask you whether I should take charge or not."
This was said with great skill. If Master Pei said that she should not be in charge, then what he said before that Song Ci would be in charge of the kitchen in the future would be nothing but bullshit.
"I told you that the kitchen is under your management, so naturally, whatever you say goes." Master Pei said unhappily.
He had made a solemn promise that the kitchen was under Song Ci's management. These servants disobeyed him, not only slapping Song Ci in the face, but also slapping him in the face.
Song Ci got the news, her smile was as bright as a crabapple flower, but there was a hint of confusion in her eyes.
The person in the kitchen was replaced. At first, Mother Li didn't believe it and kept clamoring for an explanation. After Song Ci said it was Master Pei's idea, Mother Li stopped struggling. She knew that Song Ci couldn't lie about this matter.
She was completely finished.
...
"Madam, something's wrong." The nanny pushed open the door and walked in.
"Something's wrong." Mrs. Pei drank her tea and copied scriptures out of boredom.
"Master, Master said that the kitchen will be given to the young lady to manage. It is up to the young lady to decide whether Madam Li and others stay or go."
"Bang."
The teacup on the table was not properly placed and it fell to pieces in an instant. Mrs. Pei was still in shock and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She has been in the Pei family for many years. The reason why she is so arrogant and unreasonable is partly because of Mr. Pei's indulgence and pampering. She endured the disgust and married this man who could almost be her father. Isn't this what she wanted?
As a result, Master Pei no longer favors her and has even given her kitchen to someone else to manage.
Madam Pei: "Did the Master really say that?"
The nanny's tone was difficult. "The young mistress told the master about Madam Li and the others. Madam, you know the master. His words are as good as his words. If Madam Li and the others don't obey his promises, it's like a slap in his face. Naturally, the master is unhappy."
Mrs. Pei sneered and said "OK" three times in a row after a long while.
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll let her take care of my kitchen, and I'll just give the Pei family to her as well."
"My dear wife, please don't say such discouraging words. It's just a kitchen. Think about the entire Pei family and the Second Young Master."
Speaking of her son, Mrs. Pei finally came back to her senses. Her son has not yet married a wife, so she has to secure the position of housekeeper of the Pei family so that she can hand over the entire Pei family to her son in the future.
"Let her be proud, she will cry sooner or later."
"Madam, that's right. It's just a temporary win or loss. It's not important." The nanny was happy to see that Madam had finally recovered a little. She was afraid that Madam would be discouraged.
Mrs. Pei lazily sat in the chair, her voice lazy, "Pei Ji got married, are you treating her well?"
Mammy thought for a moment and said, "It's not bad."
Mrs. Pei's mouth twitched. She married Mr. Pei at the best age, but Song Ci married Pei Ji, who was first-class in both appearance and ability. How could she not be jealous?
But she quickly thought of something and instantly felt better.
"Men are only new for a short time. If they find someone else, they will throw them away."
She said bitterly.
The nanny echoed, and the atmosphere in the whole yard was extremely solemn.
Speaking of Pei Ji's courtyard, Song Ci proved herself through this incident. The servants, both high and low, all showed great respect to her as the young lady. Even those who looked down on her in the past had to bow their heads now.
Song Dynasty porcelain has finally established itself.
Pei Ji returned to the room at night and listened to her talk about what happened today. The smile on her face shone even brighter under the candlelight at night, making Pei Ji reluctant to take his eyes off her face.
When she talked about how she did it, her eyebrows were beaming with joy. Pei Ji loved her like this.
This kind of spirit and this kind of pride are his Song Dynasty porcelain.
"You did a good job, but now is not the time to talk about this." Pei Ji rested his chin on her shoulder, and his words brought a warm breath to her ear.
Song Ci trembled all over and couldn't help blushing, "You, what are you doing?"
"My dear wife, what do you think your husband is going to do? It's just something between husband and wife."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but since they got married, Pei Ji has been speaking more and more casually. However, his casual tone would make Song Ci blush from time to time.
It's really too...indulgent.
Wanxiang and Tian'er were still in the house, and could only pretend to look at the ground under their feet nonchalantly, as if they didn't notice anything wrong with the two people.
Song Ci gently pushed him away, complaining, "It's only a short while now, don't be like this."
Seeing that she was really embarrassed and angry, Pei Ji smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I won't do anything rash. Don't be angry."
The blush on her face was like the sunset at night, which caught Pei Ji's eyes. The girl's blush was moving and full of affection, which made people's hearts shaken.
The two talked about other things, and Song Ci suddenly mentioned Princess Le Yi.
This originated from a letter she received a few days ago. After learning that Lin Huo was going to serve as an official in another place, she actually followed him secretly. He only gave her the news after he had already left Beijing.
"She actually went to this extent for Lin Huo. It seems that she really loves him."
"Just like I like you."
"If I leave Beijing and go somewhere far away, would you be willing to go with me?" Song Ci said nonchalantly.
"Of course I am willing. Wherever you go, I will go in there."
"I don't believe it. You definitely won't. You are Lord Pei, who is so powerful in the capital. How could you be willing to leave with me?"
Song Ci pursed his lips to show his disbelief.
Pei Ji's eyes were extremely serious and pious. He held her fingers and lowered his head to kiss them. "I will. No matter where you go, I will follow you. I will never be separated from you in this life."
The warm and wet touch on his fingers caused ripples in Song Ci's heart. This unconditional choice and unconditional preference was like a sweet rain that fell on this barren land, bringing it back to life.
"Well, we won't separate." She lowered her head and responded seriously, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Tian'er and Wanxiang had already quietly left the house, leaving time and space to themselves. This night felt particularly long.
The next day, a special person came to the yard.
Song Ci looked at the handsome young man with picturesque features, fair skin, and waving a fan, and bowed, "Second Young Master."
Pei Heng turned his head and a look of surprise suddenly flashed across his eyes, but the light disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared.
He said politely, "Sister-in-law."
Song Ci sat down, the maids made tea and brought it to her, and the two of them sat opposite each other.
"I'm sorry to bother you by coming here unexpectedly today."
