My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 49 Jiang Shiyuan meets the Pei family for the first time

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, especially Mrs. Pei and her cousin-in-law Xiang. What's more, Aunt Yang and the third girl also shed tears. The people in this room showed their true feelings, and they will Mrs. Jiang and her second aunt Zhang were left outside. It didn't matter if they cried or not.

Jiang Shiyue was not interested in any of this at all. Her eyes were full of greed as she looked at the betrothal gifts piled up like mountains and seas outside. Her heart was full of envy. It would be great if she could be so proud when she got engaged.

In the end, Jiang Huaishan laughed at himself and said to ease the atmosphere.

"As I get older, I feel reluctant to let my daughter get married, which makes Mrs. Pei laugh."

"Jiang Zongzheng loves his daughter very much, I understand."

"Okay, this order has been accepted. We won't show off any other frivolous gifts. Madam Yang, please go and ask the eldest girl to come out and meet the Pei family."

"Yes, my lord."

After saying this, Aunt Yang walked up to the back room of the inner courtyard, where Jiang Shiyuan was waiting. Naturally, he could hear the people talking outside, so when he saw Aunt Yang, he got up and followed her out the door.

She had also dressed up carefully today, wearing a cloud-colored skirt embroidered with gold-leaf albizia flower patterns, and a light goose-yellow long gauze dress, which made her whole body look as eye-catching as a circle of rays of light.

Her black hair hangs down like a waterfall, and her eyebrows are a little red.

Her hair was half **** in a bun, and she used a hairpin with acacia flowers and pearls on it. She applied a little pink and white on her face, which gave her a charming appearance. Even everyone in Wenyuanhou Mansion who was used to seeing her was a little impressed by her at this moment. Shocked, let alone the Pei family who had never met before.

The body is light and the lotus grows at each step.

The fact that it was only a dozen steps from the back room to the front hall made Pei Zicun unable to take his eyes away. Pei Ziyao on the side recovered from the shock and said with a loud smile.

"I didn't know that my future sister-in-law would be a fairy from Yaotai who descended to earth. My Pei family is really lucky."

Her words felt very comfortable in the ears of the Jiang family and Wenyuanhou Mansion. When Jiang Shiyuan heard these words, although he was a little shy, he still stepped forward generously and faced Mrs. Pei and The Pei siblings said after saluting.

"Jiang Shiyuan, the eldest daughter of Jiang, has met Mrs. Pei, Miss Pei, and Sanlang of the Pei family."

Mrs. Pei had met Jiang Shiyuan once when she was a child. However, she was very ill at that time, so she didn't realize how amazing she was when she was born. But now it seems that she was really well-raised by the Hou family. Well, if I didn't know the details, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that she had a congenital weakness.

So, it was rare to see the corners of her mouth raised, and she deliberately took off two mutton-fat white jade bracelets from her hands and put them on Jiang Shiyuan's wrist before saying something.

"We will be a family from now on, no need to be polite, just call me aunt."

"Hello, Aunt Pei, A Nian is so polite."

There was a bit of coquettishness in her tone, but she was not timid at all. Even when seeing her future mother-in-law giving gifts, she remained calm and composed. This made several people in the Pei family very satisfied. Pei Ziyao took a step forward and teased said.

"Now I can call you cousin A-Nian. In a few days, you will be my sister-in-law. Cousin, this is polite."

In contrast, Pei Zimiao didn't have so many tricks. He just felt that his future sister-in-law was kind and generous, so he cupped his fists in greeting and said.

"Zimiao has met cousin A-Nian."

"Hello, cousin from the Pei family, hello from the third cousin of the Pei family."

Jiang Shiyuan deliberately added three characters in front of cousin. This made Pei Zicun, who was standing next to him, raise his eyebrows. He looked at Anian's cousin, so he naturally minded her calling other people her cousin. Her answer made Pei Zichen very happy. He looked at her with a smile and refused to miss it.

"Okay, okay, it's done, brother-in-law, should we set a date for this big day? So we can free up our hands to organize it. This time, the wedding must be more lively!"

Mrs. Hou Pei has an impatient temper. Now that the ceremony has been completed, it is more important to get down to business.

She saved Mrs. Pei's words by opening her mouth, so Mrs. Pei asked the nun behind her to deliver another brochure of gilded posts, and then spoke.

"I have asked someone to calculate the birth dates of the two children. The eighth day of October this year or the twentieth day of March next year are both very auspicious days. I wonder what Jiang Zong means?"

According to Jiang Huaishan's temperament, the later the better.

But he also knew the temper of his future son-in-law very well. Even if he chose the day next year, he was afraid that it would fall in October in the end. It would be better to decide it from the beginning, so he touched the beard under his chin. , after a little thought, I decided on the eighth day of October.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone else felt that the days might be a bit rushed, but Pei Zichen looked at his future father-in-law with satisfaction and spoke.

"Uncle Jiang, don't worry, I will handle this matter smoothly."

"Okay, okay, Zi Su is interested."

Most of the whole betrothal matter was discussed by the Pei family, Jiang Huaishan and Wenyuanhou Mansion, and they discussed the details warmly and happily. Mrs. Jiang intervened a few words, but no one cared, so In the end, she could only shut up.

She looked at everyone without missing a beat. She wanted to say something, but no one was willing to listen. It wasn't until the matter was over and the people from the Pei family and Wenyuan Hou Mansion were sent away that she became furious in Tai'an Courtyard.

I wish I could smash everything at hand to relieve the anger in my heart!

Jiang Shijin was also very unhappy, but at this time it would be foolish for her to step forward on her own, so she pretended not to know and went up to comfort Mrs. Jiang.

"What's wrong with grandma? On this big day, eldest sister's marriage has been settled. Shouldn't you be happy?"

"Settled? Happy? Didn't you just see how aggressive those people in Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion were? It's a joke. It's obviously my girl from the Jiang family who is getting married, but why do they seem to be so obsessed with Marquis Wenyuan? The government has stolen the limelight, especially the old lady and Madam Hou. Your words have made me, a serious grandmother, unable to say anything. Do you still take me seriously?"

Mrs. Jiang was cursing, wishing she could smash a few more dishes to calm her anger, but looking at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, she suddenly felt very distressed, so she beat her chest violently.

Seeing this, Jiang Shijin said without leaving a trace.

"Maybe it's just that the eldest sister is closer to the relatives of the Hou family. After all, she grew up there. I can't blame the eldest sister for this. However, the eldest uncle is also very helpful. I see that he seems to be a little afraid of the Pei family. "

"Who says it's not true? Our Jin'er is marrying Prince Chun, a serious relative of the emperor. I have never seen my uncle behave like this. How come he behaves like this to a minister of the Pei family? If someone spreads it, To say that our Jiang family is afraid of the authority of the Pei family is to make people talk, mother-in-law."

The second aunt Zhang did not take it too seriously when watching the excitement. No matter whether it was good or bad, she would always say a few unpleasant words into Mrs. Jiang's ears. At first, she mostly blamed the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, but now she is resentful and resentful, even to her own son. Look down on it.

So he wiped his tears and cursed a few words as if he hated iron.

"The boneless thing used to be afraid of his father-in-law's family, but now he's even afraid of his son-in-law's family. Look, everyone will be able to step on his head in the future, and by the way, he will also lose the face of our Jiang family and trample on the ground. ! How could I give birth to such a worthless thing! He is worse than the second child. If he were still alive, you and your daughter, our Jiang family would not be bullied like this!"
