Chapter 222 The twins have different personalities
"Don't worry. I'm here. I won't let them suffer. I've checked everyone inside and outside the mansion. Those who can stay are all loyal. No outsiders can interfere. But when the child grows up, I think it's more appropriate to return to Xijing City and live in Ning'an Garden than in the mansion in Hanzhou. After all, when the child grows up, the house needs to be bigger even if he doesn't go out. The mansion in Hanzhou is not enough after all."
Mrs. Pei's words were true, so the couple thought about it and nodded in agreement. After discussing for a while, they decided to let the child stay in the wooden house for a while and then go to the mansion in Hanzhou.
The days pass quickly, and life in the mountains is especially peaceful.
No one disturbed them and they could just concentrate on raising their children, so naturally they were full of laughter and joy every day. After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the weather gradually became cooler. By the time everyone started to feel cold and wanted to change into thicker clothes, it was already October.
They returned to the mansion in Hanzhou in early October, and at that time, it was less than ten days away from the two children's hundredth day.
They did not deliberately hide the news of their return from others, but simply spread the news in a grand manner. Since they could not avoid it, they let everyone in the city know the good news that the Pei family had a son!
So on the next day, everyone in Hanzhou City, including the Hanwang Palace, received an invitation. It was scheduled to hold a hundred-day banquet for the two children on October 17th.
This news was like a bombshell dropped into a originally calm lake. Everyone was surprised. How come the Pei family had two more children without any notice?
Wasn't there news that the young lady of the Pei family was terminally ill? How come she gave birth to two children in the blink of an eye? Could it be that they spread those rumors outside to confuse people, so there are different opinions.
In the palace of the King of Han.
The King of Han looked at the invitation delivered by Pei Zisu himself and could not help laughing. Then he stood up, walked to him, patted him on the shoulder and said.
"You are really patient. You waited until now to let the whole Hanzhou know. But since you are holding such a big banquet, I am afraid that not only the people in Hanzhou will know about it. The news from Xijing City will be received by the end of the year at the latest. Have you thought of a countermeasure?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Zi Su has made up his mind. No matter what, Xijing City is my wife's home. It would be normal for her to take the children back to see her family. Besides, my eldest brother-in-law has passed the imperial examination and is engaged to the second daughter of the Geng family in April next year. So before that, I want to kill Nan Tang by surprise first, and then accompany her back!"
Southern Tang was a great threat, and it would be good if it could be resolved as soon as possible. He knew exactly what Pei Zisu had been planning these days, so he nodded and agreed.
Although the current situation is somewhat confrontational, it has not yet reached the point where both sides have gone blood-thirsty, so it is understandable that they want to return north. However, he is familiar with many things in the Pei family's inner residence, so he asked in a low voice.
"And your father?"
"Of course I will deliver the invitation from my father, but it's fine if he comes alone. As for others, I don't welcome them. Your Highness, please give Zi Su some instructions. The two children are really young, and I don't want extra people to disturb the peace of the three of them."
"It's rare that you would ask me for your permission. When you go to Pei's house, tell your father that this is what I want. Your father will not disobey you."
"Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness." Looking at Pei Zisu's smug face, the King of Han couldn't help but think of the insignificant prince in his family and Cheng Dengping, whom he had never dared to recognize, and sighed.
"You have a son now, and this is the fulfillment of my wish. I am now looking forward to hearing good news from the Crown Prince's wife. If she can have both sons and daughters like your wife, then I will have no regrets in my life."
The King of Han was moved from the bottom of his heart. Pei Zisu could sense the love he had for his descendants, so he clasped his fists and said something.
"Your Majesty will surely make your dream come true."
The King of Han was happy, and then waved to him, letting Pei Zisu leave first. He then asked someone to send some supplements to the courtyard of the deceased prince's wife, hoping that good news would come soon!
On the other side, when Pei Zisu also delivered the news to the Pei family's old house and brought the King of Han's words together, Marshal Pei's face turned ugly for a moment, but he seemed to have expected this result, so he nodded, giving Pei Zisu enough face.
After he left, Aunt An came forward and then stayed beside Marshal Pei and said something.
"I will not prepare any gifts. If Madam Pei knew that I sent the gifts, she would throw them away to avoid wasting money. As for what the master wants to send, you can think about it yourself. I will persuade Ah Xing not to cause trouble."
Pei Zitian naturally made her worry-free and reliable as for the two children, but it was different for Pei Zixing. She had been very noisy recently, so she was scolded by Pei Zisu several times, openly and secretly. Now she could not get up at all and lay in bed coughing day and night. If this continued, her condition would probably get worse.
Marshal Pei knew everything in his heart, but he had other thoughts at the moment.
He also met Mu Shao that day, so he knew that the two children and Jiang Shiyuan's good health were closely related to her. This time when he went there, he still had an idea, which was to look for Mu Shao again. If she could agree to come and treat A Xing, he could compromise on other things.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Mu Shao was now feeling the greatest sorrow than her death. How could a person who was not afraid of death have any other thoughts?
So, with everyone having their own ulterior motives, the day of the two children's hundred-day banquet arrived.
Although the two children lived in the wooden house during this period, everyone around them was attentive. Maybe it was because Jiang Shiyuan had good breast milk, but the two children were raised very strong. Now the redness and wrinkles when they were just born have disappeared, and it is obvious that they have grown bigger, revealing their excellent faces.
Lai Jie'er looks like Pei Zisu. Her eyes and brows are almost enchanting. One can tell at a glance that she will grow up to be a famous woman. Because of her father Xiao, there is even more heroic spirit between her brows. Everyone who has seen her praises her, saying that she will become a pillar of the Pei family in the future.
In comparison, Jue Ge'er seems much quieter. Like Jiang Shiyuan, he doesn't like to cry and has a calmness that is detached from worldly affairs. His appearance is also more similar to Jiang Shiyuan, so he seems somewhat feminine and handsome.
