Pei family in the suburbs of Beijing
As night falls, the Pei family, which should have gone to bed early and kept silent, is now brightly lit.
Yang held up the kerosene lamp that she was always reluctant to light, and carefully handed it to the man with a smile on her face.
The man had a rough face, with a rough beard covering half of his face, but he had good eyebrows. He was dressed in tattered linen clothes and sat carelessly on a stool. He ignored Mr. Yang and only focused on the polished rice in the bowl. Pulling in the mouth.
"Guangzhi, my son..." Yang looked at the man's face and pursed her lips and was about to cry, "You finally came out. Mom misses you..."
The grains of white rice stuck to his beard. Pei Guangzhi cherished it by twisting it and putting it into his mouth. He sneered when he heard this and said, "Are you lying? You can eat polished rice every day, but it's only now that you spend money to redeem me." ?”
"No!" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang waved her hands repeatedly, "Shu'er bought these polished rice. How can we two old men afford this?"
"Shu'er?" Pei Guangzhi paused and looked suspicious, "Who is Shu'er?"
Yang slapped her thigh and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Mom is so old and stupid. She even forgot to tell you on the way back."
"Shu'er is your daughter-in-law. She is the daughter of Zhenzhen'er, a powerful family. Her mother's family is the Yongcheng Houfu in the north of Beijing!"
"Yongcheng Marquis?" Pei Guangzhi's eyes lit up and he held the table with a corner missing with both hands, "A young lady from the Marquis's mansion?"
"That's right! That girl is still pregnant!" Ms. Yang smiled proudly and lowered her voice, "It's a pity that Shu'er's mother doesn't agree. Shu'er is willing to leave the Hou Mansion for our Xiao Heng." , living with us!"
"What!" Pei Guangzhi slapped his palm on the table, and the fat on his face shook, "She has broken up with the Hou Mansion, how can we make money from it?"
"Oh, my son, please keep your voice down!" Ms. Yang waved her hand, signaling for him to lower his voice, "How can a mother and her child have an overnight feud? I guess... her mother is just dissatisfied with our in-laws. , I pretended to be separated from Shuer just to scare her!"
"As long as we hold this golden nugget in our arms, won't we have to worry about having nothing to eat or drink in the future?" Yang winked at Pei Guangzhi, "This girl only cares about Xiao Heng. For our Xiao Heng, she would not hesitate to pawn off her valuable jewelry. You also want to please us.”
"The money you redeemed was the hairpin she got in exchange for it!"
Pei Guangzhi calmed down and stroked his messy beard, "Pei Heng, is this kid really so good-looking?"
"Ouch!" Mrs. Yang grinned, her eyes filled with pride, "You haven't seen your son for many years! Let me tell you, our little Heng just followed you, so what kind of beauty does that look like... …What wind!”
"Previously, there were many girls in the village who were very interested in our Xiao Heng, but Xiao Heng didn't respond. I used to think that Xiao Heng was too shy to get along with these girls."
"I never thought that this brat has high standards. If he's not a wealthy lady, he won't be looked at at all!"
Yang chuckled, and her proud face made Pei Guangzhi curl up his lips.
"In that case, why didn't the two of them take me out of prison today?" Pei Guangzhi's eyes turned cold, "Do they look down on me as a father?"
"How can you not!" Yang glared at him angrily and said with a smile, "Shu'er is pregnant, and she is pregnant with the grandson of a high-ranking family. She is so precious! Your place is in such a mess, mother is worried. I didn’t let her go!”
"Look at your unshaven beard. It's the first time you meet your daughter-in-law. You have to be neat and tidy." Yang turned out a rusty razor and handed it to him with a smile, "Here, shave quickly."
Pei Guangzhi looked at half a bronze mirror and shaved the beard on his face. Perhaps he had not taken care of it for many years, and his beard had grown thick and hard.
Yang sat next to him, as if she couldn't see enough. She stared at him for a while and wiped away her tears, "Son, be more careful from now on and never go in again! Mom, I miss you. My heart aches!"
"I know, what a whimper!" Pei Guangzhi shouted impatiently, and Yang was so frightened that she immediately stopped talking.
"From now on, life will be much better." Pei Guangzhi put down the razor with a ferocious smile on his lips, "I am the father-in-law of the Marquis. From the Marquis down, who dares to touch me?"
"That's right!" Yang's smile also widened, "Our Xiao Heng is really a proud ancestor!"
"That's all thanks to me!" Pei Guangzhi snorted coldly, "If he wasn't my son, how could he have the beauty to seduce the young lady of the Marquis?"
"That's right, my son is more powerful!" Yang clapped her hands with a very soft gesture.
A dark light flashed in Pei Guangzhi's eyes, and he whispered, "Bring me some money, I will go to the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion in person tomorrow!"
Yang didn't dare to refute, so she had to follow him, "That's good, I just want to recognize the door earlier!"
Pei Guangzhi raised one corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and waved his hands impatiently, "Go and call them two over. Miss Qianjin hasn't served tea to my father-in-law yet!"
"Okay." Yang smiled broadly, got up and trotted into another room.
After a while, Pei Heng took Xie Shuer to the main room. In the room, Pei Guangzhi was already sitting on a stool, looking at the two of them.
Pei Heng had a cold face, showing no trace of joy, and his attitude was more business-like, "Dad."
"Yes." Pei Guangzhi responded, his eyes falling on Xie Shu'er who looked slightly nervous on one side.
Xie Shu'er felt his gaze, stiffened slightly, and whispered, "Uncle Pei..."
Pei Guangzhi frowned, and Yang immediately answered, "Hey, it's wrong for Shu'er to call you uncle. Although you two haven't held a wedding banquet yet, but you have taken advantage of our Pei family, you should call Guangzhi father-in-law." !”
Xie Shuer's face turned red, she knelt down and her voice became softer, "Xie Shuer has met my father-in-law."
He actually climbed up along the pole!
A rich man, so shameless and shameless, seems to really like his son!
Pei Guangzhi's eyes sparkled, his chin raised, imitating those noble men, "Get up."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Xie Shuer's etiquette is complete, even in the eyes of those aristocratic families, there is no fault.
Pei Guangzhi glanced up and down at Xie Shu'er, his eyes lingering between her chest and buttocks.
Xie Shuer naturally passed on some of Fang Xusheng's beauty. In addition, the original owner spent a lot of money on her, and her noble and pleasant appearance made Xie Shuer appear graceful.
Pei Guangzhi was satisfied and nodded slightly, "Since you have entered our Pei family, you must understand some rules. I won't say much else. It is a must to wait for my father-in-law to wash his face and mouth every morning when he wakes up!"
Xie Shu'er looked stunned and subconsciously looked up at Pei Heng.
Pei Heng noticed Xie Shuer's emotions, raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, comforting her softly, "Don't be nervous, my father has completely accepted you."
Hearing this, Xie Shu'er's face lit up with joy, and she nodded towards Pei Guangzhi, her voice a little sweeter, "Yes, Shu'er knows."
Pei Guangzhi sneered in his heart, the daughter of the Marquis was nothing more than that!
