Invincible son

Chapter 14 014 [Apprentices]

Inside Ding'an Hall.

Pei Taijun reclined on the soft couch, Wen Yu knelt beside her, gently pinching her shoulders.

"Of course I know that this is their filial piety, but there are too many guests this morning, and they are all close relatives and friends, so I can't wait for anyone, so I can only accept their gifts and treat the old lady well. A toss."

Pei Taijun was quite emotional, and continued: "It's only when you come that I can relax and let this girl rub it for me."

Sitting on the left under the soft couch is a middle-aged man, who is Mo Moyun who is in charge of the Taishitai Pavilion. He smiled and said: "Auntie, the young master is a filial person. Everyone praises it."

A look of relief appeared on Pei Taijun's face, and he sighed again: "He only has the advantage of this idea, and he is incomparable to you."

Mo Moyun shook his head and said: "Auntie's words are wrong. If my nephew hadn't been appreciated and supported by Uncle Pei back then, he would not have been able to enter the eyes of the Holy One. The young master is different from me. He has his own luck and way of life."

The Uncle Pei he was talking about was the third-generation helm of Dingguo Mansion, the eldest grandson of Pei Yuan, and the father of Pei Rong, also the husband of Pei Taijun, Pei Zhen. Ding Guogong, Pei Taijun was therefore named the first-rank Duke and wife.

Although Pei Zhen is not as versatile as Pei Yuan in both civil and military skills, she is also a rare handsome talent. The most outstanding achievement in her life is commanding the army to travel for more than a thousand miles, and walking the more than 20 troops of Wu State in the west until they lose their heads. Turn around, and finally take down Hucheng, an important town on the border of Wu State, and drive a hard nail on the smooth Gaoyang Plain to the east of Wu State. Since then, the two countries have changed their offensive and defensive positions. Years without war.

It's just that Pei Zhen didn't live long, she was fifty-three when she passed away, ten years ago.

It is strange to say that Pei Yuan, the first generation of Dingguo Gong of the Pei family, lived the longest. This outstanding man lived to be 96 years old, and the eldest son Pei Heng was only 51 years old when he passed away.It was rumored that this was because Pei Yuan took all the luck of the Pei family, so that the men of the Pei family would never live to be 60 years old.The imperial court was naturally furious about such nonsensical rumors, so they asked the crows in Taishitai Pavilion to arrest those who spread the rumors. This move made those who originally scoffed at the rumors suspicious. Could it be that Pei Yuan is really a bad old man?In order to live a long time for oneself, even disregarding the life and death of future generations?
At this moment, apart from Pei Taijun and Mo Moyun, there is only Wen Yu as a servant girl in Ding'an Hall, and the rest of the servants retreat.

Hearing this excellent junior mention her deceased husband, the old lady's eyes were a little moist, and she recalled the past and said: "Your uncle's life was not easy, because the halo of the ancestors was too heavy, and these juniors could not move. He I have said more than once that even if you die, you must die on the battlefield, not on your own bed. The old lady still remembers that one day after your ancestor passed away, one day your uncle came back from court, and he was very happy and drank it himself. After a few cups, ask him what happened and don't say anything. It didn't take long, I remember it was July of the first year of Renxuan, your uncle led an army to fight a big battle with Wu State in the west, it seems that he took a It didn't take long for the important city to be promoted to the first class of Ningyuanhou. It was only three years after Renxuan, and he left, leaving the old lady alone to take care of this duke's mansion, alas..."

Mo Moyun was also full of pain, and said apologetically: "It's all my nephew's fault, my aunt should have had a good time today, but I reminded me of these past events again."

Pei Taijun shook his head, wiped the corners of his eyes and said: "But the old lady knows that your uncle got what he wanted and left without regret, so I don't blame him. Compared with my poor father-in-law, he is much better. My father-in-law didn’t know the year of destiny until he passed away, not to mention leading an army, but he never even entered the army. It seems that the heavenly family didn’t allow it. I can’t remember the specific reason. He is old and forgetful Also big."

There were no outsiders in this hall, and Mo Moyun was in charge of the Taishitai Pavilion, so the two of them did not shy away from speaking.

Regarding the right and wrong back then, Mo Moyun knew better, but seeing the old lady was a little sad, he changed the subject and said: "Auntie, I saw three brothers in front of the gate today, all are good, all are very good, your boss Teaching children well."

Pei Taijun glared at him reproachfully, and said, "You are not honest now, and you are still sloppy in front of the old woman. Don't I know about my grandson? How can I afford such praise from you."

Mo Moyun said calmly, "Auntie knows that my nephew never tells lies."

Pei Taijun's old eyes were full of smiles, obviously very happy in his heart, and asked: "Then you can tell me what is good, you can't tell, but don't blame the old lady for not recognizing your nephew in the future."

Although it was a joke, Mo Moyun seemed very serious, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Cheng has a very solid foundation in martial arts, and he hasn't become lazy all these years. As long as there is some improvement in the art of war, he can join the army as a general." .Although his personality is a little more generous, he is very suitable for leading troops, and he will definitely earn some credit if he goes to the battlefield to practice."

Pei Taijun hesitated a little and said: "Brother Cheng joins the army? Is it okay?"

Mo Moyun said solemnly: "It's okay, I will make it clear to the Holy Majesty."

Pei Taijun nodded again and again, looking at him with satisfaction and admiration.

Mo Moyun continued: "As for Brother Yun, although I don't have the status of a teacher and apprentice with him, I have taught him some principles over the years. He is still young, but he has read a lot of books, and he is not the kind of dead book reader. The idiot will come from his own good fortune."

Taijun Pei sighed: "Brother Yun once told me what you said to him. At that time, the old woman felt that your uncle had been depressed for most of his life, and that Lin Lao took a fancy to you, which was probably the most proud thing in his life. It's a pity we don't have a daughter, otherwise we wouldn't be able to let you go."

Mo Moyun smiled and said: "Uncle Pei and Auntie have taught me a lot of truths. Compared with other people, I am just luckier."

Pei Taijun shook his head and said: "It's great that you have this thought, but you don't have to be too humble."

Mo Moyun pondered for a moment, looked up at Pei Taijun, and asked with some puzzlement: "Why doesn't Auntie ask me about Brother Yue's future?"

Before Taijun Pei answered, he felt the movement on his shoulders pause, and immediately turned his head and laughed and scolded: "You little hoof is not ashamed, why do you panic when you hear Brother Yue's name? It's really strange, Brother Cheng in the past I didn't see anything wrong with you in person, but now I just walked to that small courtyard, why is it like this? Let me tell you, I can't live without you here, and it will take a few years to talk about it. "

Wen Yu's kind and refined face was like a boiled shrimp shell, and she said shyly and anxiously: "Old lady, what are you talking about, when did this slave think about it?"

Pei Taijun patted the back of her hand and said softly: "You have served me with heart for several years, and you will always have a good home for you in the future, don't worry."

Wen Yu became more and more ashamed and did not dare to look up.

Being interrupted like this, it is reasonable to say that this topic has been revealed. With Mo Moyun's thoughts on the city, it is natural to see that Pei Taijun does not want to discuss this topic, but he has other plans, so he continued: "Auntie, instead of letting Brother Yue go That Zhuangzi lives in mediocrity, why not let him follow me."

Pei Taijun's heart tightened, he forced a smile and said, "What are you doing with me?"

Shen Moyun sighed: "Auntie also knows the situation in my family. Wen'er passed away early, and Mo'er is a daughter after all. With my meager skills, I always hope to have a trustworthy descendant to pass on."

Taijun Pei looked at him suspiciously, and said after a while, "You want Brother Yue to enter Taishitai Pavilion?"

Mo Moyun nodded and said: "Auntie, think about it, Brother Cheng and Brother Yun have their own paths, and they are not convenient to work in Taishitai Pavilion as the sons of the eldest son. Brother Yue is different, he is just a son of the son, destined to be unable to Take up the influence of the Pei family in the army."

Pei Taijun pondered for a moment, and still disagreed: "Mo Yun, have you ever thought about it, if Brother Yue can really gain a foothold in Taige, how will the Pei family deal with themselves? How will Brother Cheng climb up in the army? They are brothers , regardless of the concubines, they will be connected by blood! At that time, not to mention what the Tian family thinks, but those high officials in the court, can they tolerate such a situation?"

Mo Moyun's eyes froze, his aunt was indeed a smart person, and it was extremely difficult to convince her.

But I don't know whether the old lady's remarks are for the future of her eldest grandson, or there are other reasons.

When he was thinking about his speech, Pei Taijun sighed softly: "I understand your thoughts, I just ask you, brother Yue really has potential?"

Mo Moyun thought it over and said: "I really couldn't see it before, but as the saying goes, if you can't break, you can't stand. These days, it seems that he may have broken through the difficulties. The calm and calm temperament on his body is indeed suitable for working with me."

Pei Taijun looked at him with a strange expression, and laughed out loud, "It seems that there are quite a few crows in the mansion."

If there were no secret agents of the Taishitai Pavilion who penetrated every corner, how could Mo Moyun know the changes of Pei Yue in the past few days like the palm of his hand?
The dignified leader of thousands of secret spies, a big man who can change the situation in Kyoto by stomping his feet, Mo Moyun, who is already 45 years old, can't help but blush, extremely rare and a little embarrassed.

Pei Taijun didn't take it seriously and said: "This is your duty, how could I take offense? If you don't do this, the Tian family will feel uneasy."

Only then did Mo Moyun feel relieved, returned to his usual calm demeanor, and smiled: "Uncle Pei is very kind to me, Brother Yue is also his descendant, and considering all aspects, he doesn't have too many worries, let me take him Take it with you for a few years, and I promise to return you an excellent brother."

Pei Taijun said solemnly: "Brother Yue's future has been decided long ago. Let him go to the Zhuangzi in the east of the city. The old woman will not treat him badly. In addition to the Zhuangzi's field, he will also give him a sum of money. Moyun, you must Promise me that you will not go to him quietly, let alone tell him what you said today."

Looking at the firm look in the old lady's eyes, Mo Moyun knew that there was nothing he could do. He had countless ways to make the dignitaries bow their heads, but in this Ding'an Hall, he had nothing to do.

After a long time, he finally nodded.

Pei Taijun was overjoyed, and her complexion relaxed, because she knew that the junior in front of her was a real gentleman, and although she was in the dark, she was the most committed.

Immediately he smiled and said: "Look and see, birthday is also called, you go and get busy, and it will be enough to visit the old woman once a year in the future."

Such a character as Mo Moyun, since he can't achieve his goal, naturally he won't continue to entangle, and also said with a smile: "I wanted to drink a cup of aunt's birthday wine with the young master, but now it seems that I can't drink it."

Pei Taijun laughed loudly, pointed at him and said: "Forget it, if you appear at the banquet in front, many people may not be able to sit still, why bother to make things difficult for Rong Er."

"That's right, Auntie, that nephew has just gone back, and I hope Auntie will take care of himself."

"Go, you have to cherish your body, don't learn from your Uncle Pei."

There is a hint of sadness in this sentence.

Mo Moyun got up and bowed down, saluted solemnly, and then left under Pei Taijun's complicated eyes.

After he left for a long time, Wen Yu heard a long sigh filled with countless emotions from the old man in front of him.

"Ugh……"
