Invincible son

Chapter 497 496 [Marriage reminder]

Xingyefang, Guangping Houfu.

When the sun was high, the middle door of Hou's mansion was opened wide, and the housekeeper Gu Liu led a group of servants to go out to welcome the guests.

When Pei Yue was just an ordinary bastard, the Guangping Marquis Mansion treated him so grandly.This move was not without criticism, many people were full of jealousy, and even secretly rumored that Pei Yue was Gu Liang's illegitimate son.However, when Pei Yue made his way to the top with his own ability, those criticisms and slanders disappeared without a trace, and more and more people praised Gu Liang for his insight.

The smile on Gu Liu's face was respectful yet friendly, he walked to the side of the carriage and bowed to salute, "Hi, Lord Hou!"

Pei Yue and Ye Qi got off the carriage, looked at Gu Liu and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, Uncle Liu's body seems to be getting tougher."

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for remembering. I can probably live for more than ten years." Gu Liu is an old man in the Hou family, so naturally there is no need to deliberately flatter her.He is more than 50 years old this year, he was Gu Hao's personal soldier at the beginning, and he was highly regarded and trusted by Gu Liang and the Zhao family.

Pei Yue glanced left and right, and asked curiously: "Brother is not at home today?"

Gu Liu was a little ashamed and said: "The fourth young master left the mansion early in the morning, saying that there is something important to do, and asked the old man to tell Lord Hou that he will come back later and stay in the mansion for a while."

"Is it important? Forget it, I have no other plans today, so I have to bother my aunt." Pei Yue smiled and didn't take this matter to heart.

Gu Liu turned sideways and said, "Master Hou, Miss Ye, please."

Pei Yue and Ye Qi followed him into the Marquis Mansion. The dozen or so soldiers he brought with him were holding various gifts, and another steward was in charge of entertaining them.

On Guangsha Hall.

Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Zhao, sat with a smile on her face, and there were a few gentle and amiable maidservants standing beside her. When she saw Pei Yue's figure, she quickly got up and walked a few steps forward. She said excitedly, "Brother Yue!" , you are finally back!"

Pei Yue's heart warmed, no matter what the reason why Gu Liang took care of him at the beginning, the woman in front of him cared for him without any falsehood, and it was the only caring he experienced from a female elder in this world.Thinking of this, he brushed off the hem of his clothes and bowed respectfully, saying earnestly: "It's my nephew's fault for making my aunt worry, and I hope my aunt won't be offended."

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly helped Pei Yue up, and said angrily, "Why are you so serious, kid? You still don't know about my family's situation? If you have to worry all day, you may not be able to live this day."

Thinking of Gu Liang and Gu Fan's three elder brothers, Pei Yue couldn't help but smile, but there was inevitably some bitterness in the smile.

Mrs. Zhao greeted Ye Qi again, and then seated the two of them, and ordered the servant girl to bring the best tea in the house.

After exchanging pleasantries, Mrs. Zhao looked at Pei Yue with pity, and asked in a warm voice: "Has the matter of Marquis Wuwei been resolved? I heard elder brother Ni say that nothing will happen, but how does he know the tricks in the court?"

Pei Yue smiled slightly, he knew that Gu Fan had a staff in Gu Liang who was in charge, mainly to investigate the news of the capital and protect the safety of the Hou Mansion.Of course, he would not point it out in front of Mrs. Zhao, he only briefly recounted what happened at the court meeting yesterday, and then said calmly: "Auntie, Your Majesty has made a conclusion, no one dares to repeat it, and there will be no danger in the future." .”

"That's fine, that's fine."

Mrs. Zhao nodded repeatedly, and then asked about his experience in the war in the western region.

Pei Yue spoke patiently, omitting the details, and picked out the important battles and talked about them.His tone was very calm, but Mrs. Zhao became more and more frightened when she heard it, especially the battle of Qishan Chong and Rift Valley, and endless fear arose in her heart.If something really happened to Pei Yue, she couldn't imagine how her daughter would react after hearing the news.

After Pei Yue finished speaking, Zhao sighed with a complex expression, and then praised Ye Qi who was by Pei Yue's side regardless of danger.

As the wife of a first-class lord, I don't know how many big scenes she has seen. Naturally, the skill of boasting is not comparable to that of ordinary people. After Zhao's words, even Ye Qi, who is determined not to let his eyebrows, show a few words. Very ashamed.

Mrs. Zhao noticed that Pei Yue's eyes looked behind her, she wanted to laugh, and said to Ye Qi: "Miss Ye, Zhen'er is very happy to hear that you are here, and I will wait for you in her yard now Well, why don't you go and see her? The girl is free to speak, and she is no more annoying than an old woman like me."

Ye Qi glanced at Pei Yue thoughtfully, got up and said, "Madam was joking, but I also miss sister Zhen'er very much."

After the servant girl led Ye Qi to the back house, Mrs. Zhao said to the rest of the servants: "You all go down."

Except for Zhao's two personal servant girls, the rest respectfully withdrew from the Guangsha Hall. Seeing this scene, Pei Yue knew that the next conversation would be very important.In fact, he knew very well what Zhao shi wanted to say to him, and he also understood the meaning of Ye Qi's eyes.

Mrs. Zhao took a sip of tea, looked at Pei Yue's still calm and calm expression, and sighed softly: "Brother Yue, you are very clear about the situation in the house, your uncle is a man who doesn't care about family affairs, Fan Er only likes to be relaxed, he My older brothers are not in the capital. I shouldn't tell you about etiquette, but year after year, Zhen'er is almost an old lady, so it's not a good idea to be so stiff."

Even though he was mentally prepared, Pei Yue was still a little embarrassed.

If it was just a matter between him and Gu Zhen, he could be honest with him with his thick skin, but the problem was that Ye Qi was also involved.

Comparing heart to heart, if the person sitting in Zhao's position today is himself, and a young man wants to marry his daughter, and at the same time marry another woman, he might be hacked to death.

Mrs. Zhao did not make things difficult for Pei Yue, and said earnestly: "Although your surname is Pei, you are no different from my own nephew in my eyes, especially Uncle Gu. So today, let's talk about it as a mother and a son, you See if it's appropriate?"

Pei Yue nodded and said: "Uncle and Auntie have treated me as much as a mountain, if they can even forget this, then Pei Yue will be in vain."

Mrs. Zhao smiled and waved her hands and said, "It's not that serious. Brother Yue, in fact, at first I disagreed with Uncle Gu's idea, not because you were just a bastard at that time, but because you were too thin at that time, and you were afraid of the future. In case something happens, it will be Zhen'er who suffers in the end. I only have this one daughter, and I don't want her to be rich, I just want her to be safe and happy in this life."

Pei Yue recalled himself a few years ago, and he really didn't look like a long-lived person, so he couldn't help but smile freely: "Auntie, if it were me, I wouldn't agree."

"He's a good, sensible boy."

Mrs. Zhao praised her, and said, "Actually, I know in my heart that the first thing you like is Miss Ye."
