Chapter 427 Marriage
Mrs. Pei has not seen her daughter for many days, she is really happy in her heart, and wants to say something of her own.
Xiao Junji knew that it was inconvenient for him to be present, so he took the initiative to ask: "I don't know if Mr. Xiangguo is at the house now? I have something important to discuss with Mr. Xiangguo."
Mrs. Pei held the gold-embroidered satin fan and gently fanned the wind, and said with a smile: "My master is in the study right now, you can go there to find him."
Xiao Junji thanked him, saluted and left.
Mrs. Pei nodded slightly in satisfaction, thinking to herself that this kid has good eyesight, and he is indeed the person she cultivated.
The mother and daughter entered the Xiaohua hall together.
Mrs. Pei stepped back from the crowd, took her daughter to have a good look, and said with a light smile: "Pearls are round and jade-like, it seems that the young life is going well."
Pei Yi joked coquettishly: "How can I live well? A while ago, the rebel army surrounded my county government office. I was trembling all day long, and my mother didn't feel sorry for me."
Mrs. Pei's face was full of kindness, and she asked Pei Yi about things since she took office.
Pei Yi answered one by one, speaking quite vividly, which made Mrs. Pei laugh.
"Have you visited His Highness the Third Highness?" Mrs. Pei suddenly asked.
Pei Yi smiled and said, "I just returned to the capital today, how can I have time to see him?"
Mrs. Pei tapped her lightly with a round fan, and said with a light smile, "It's because you came back today, so you should go see him today."
Pei Yi didn't take this to heart, and said with a smile: "I just came back today, I'm exhausted, so I have to rest for a night. Let's go see him tomorrow."
"I have to go today." Mrs. Pei's tone was soft, but her tone was undeniable, "The Third Highness was quite frightened this time, you have to go and see him."
Pei Yi remembered the rescue situation reported to her by Qi Sha at that time, and after a moment of silence, she said: "I know he was shocked. But it's not early today, so let's go tomorrow."
Mrs. Pei smiled and shook her head jokingly: "Where can I go tomorrow compared to today?"
Meeting your sweetheart as soon as you return to Beijing, is this the same as going to meet after a night of rest?
In the study.
Pei Shu sat on the chair, looked at the noble young man standing in front of him, and asked seriously: "You hate the Pei family?" A noble boy was raised by his wife as a backyard child molester, what was he afraid of? For injustice.
Xiao Junji stood there in a regular manner, and his heart was full of fear and sincerity to meet his future father-in-law.
He slightly lowered his head and replied: "Hate is naturally hated. But if you can serve Sanlang by his side, even the hatred will disappear."
Pei Shu smiled inexplicably and said, "You are honest."
Xiao Junji said respectfully: "In front of Lord Xiangguo, I dare not lie. As long as I remain in power in the Xiao family, the Xiao family will be on good terms with the Pei family."
Pei Shu sized up the young man in front of him, seeing the young man's calm expression, he felt a little high in his heart. He jokingly said, "But you haven't taken power yet."
This is quite blunt.
Xiao Junji was not intimidated, he calmly saluted and said with a smile: "So I also ask Mr. Xiangguo to support you."
Pei Shu saw that the young man was very stable, he couldn't help smiling, half mocking and half admiring: "You have a thick skin."
Xiao Junji looked as usual, and said respectfully: "My father-in-law..."
Tongue seems to be tied, he pretended to be guilty and flustered and changed his words, "In front of Mr. Xiangguo, I just tell the truth."
Pei Shu's eyes became disgusted, and he said contemptuously: "Young people should be cautious in their words and deeds, and don't try to grab their in-laws."
He just purposely yelled wrongly to stir up the conversation, now he should take advantage of the situation and make it clear.
"Master Xiangguo," Xiao Junji said sincerely, "If Xiao can be accompanied by Saburo for life, I would like to bring the Xiao family into marriage."
It was Pei Shu who was mature and prudent, and he couldn't help opening his eyes slightly when he heard this.
It is really unheard of for a man to talk about marrying himself.
Is this kid surnamed Xiao willing to give up just because of his Sanskrit?
Pei Shu's heart was shaken, but he calmed down quickly, and said straight to the point: "You are the eldest son of the Xiao family."
Xiao Junji replied loudly: "It is precisely because I am the eldest son of the Xiao family that I have the ability to make the entire Xiao family a dowry."
Pei Shuxin said: How shameless!
However, the eldest son of the Xiao family is willing to join the Pei family, and Pei Shu is still a little tempted after thinking about it.
After all, even if the third prince is in love with Sanskrit of his family, it is impossible for him to marry into Pei's family.
Compared to his daughter marrying out, he is of course willing for his daughter to recruit a son-in-law.
Although Pei Shu was satisfied in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, and threatened the future son-in-law in a deep voice: "Although marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, my Pei family doesn't like this."
"Others may be able to coax the family to agree to the marriage by pleasing the elders and brothers, but this heresy is useless to my Pei family."
"In our Pei family, as long as Fanyin doesn't nod, no one can influence her marriage."
Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Junji's back. He had never been so nervous before, no matter how critical it was, as he is now.
He said respectfully: "Lord Xiangguo loves Chong Saburo, and I love Chong Saburo too. At home and outside, Saburo is the one who decides. I won't make my own claims unless she agrees."
Pei Shu had mixed feelings, and looked critically at the handsome young man in front of him, secretly thinking: How can this boy be so shameless? People haven't been through the door yet, so they say that they are away from home, as if they are already the son-in-law of their old Pei's family.
Pei Shu was very upset and said: "Sanskrit is now the main business, and the children's personal affairs have to be released later. You should be clear about your own important responsibilities when you enter Beijing under the imperial edict."
Xiao Junji bowed respectfully and said: "The younger generation will remember the teachings of Master Xiangguo."
Pei Shu looked at this future son-in-law really disliked, so he said with a stern face, "Back off."
Xiao Junji resigned respectfully.
After seeing the person leave with his own eyes, Pei Shu left the study and set off directly to find his daughter.
Not long after, Pei Shu arrived at Xiaohua Hall.
He pushed the servants outside further away to make sure they couldn't hear what was being said inside.
Mrs. Pei looked at the mysterious husband who came suddenly, she couldn't help feeling suspicious, and asked, "Master, what happened?"
Seeing her father fighting like this, Pei Yi couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
Pei Shu sighed, and said with a serious expression: "It's a big deal!"
Mrs. Pei became more and more surprised, and asked nervously: "What's the big deal?"
Pei Yi also lifted it up in one breath, looking extremely nervous.
Pei Shu looked at his daughter, lowered his voice and asked, "Fanyin, does the Xiao family kid already know that you are a girl?"
Pei Yi was unexpected, and asked in astonishment: "Why does Dad have such doubts?"
