Invincible son

Chapter 601 600 [Soul Returns Home]

The triumphant return of the Western Expeditionary Army made some families happy and some sad.

Nancheng Jinshafang, at the east end of Calabash Street, several middle-aged women stood in front of a house.Not far away, there were some green-skinned rogue-looking men, although they looked a little anxious, but none of them dared to step forward and make noise.

Only a woman said loudly: "Sister-in-law of the merchant, can you open the door first? I am here today to have a good deed. Whether it is successful or not, you should listen to it first."

A peaceful but determined female voice came from inside: "Thank you, Aunt Qi, for your kindness, but my daughter is still young, so I won't talk about marriage for now."

The woman smiled and said through the door: "Oh, this day is so fast, a few years have passed. Sister-in-law of the merchant, that Mr. Lin was born with a good-looking talent and a huge family fortune, but it is hard to find a good man even with a lantern." Match. Although your girl is still young, it’s okay to settle the marriage first. The Lin family prepared 1000 taels of snowflake silver just for the gift money, and asked me to tell my sister-in-law.”

Another woman immediately became unhappy, and said in a sharp voice: "Sister-in-law of the merchant, the Hu family of Xicheng Jianchang Bank entrusted an old man to be a matchmaker. His young master is sixteen years old and has a good character. He never hangs around outside and only reads sage books. It is a well-known seed for reading. Master Hu entrusted me to tell you that if this happy event can come true, the betrothal gift will be three facades in the west city and a thousand acres of fertile land outside the city!"

The master inside didn't speak, but the matchmakers outside the door started arguing, each with louder voices, attracting the attention of many idlers.

Even if there is an idler who is familiar with this family pretending to be a storyteller, he will explain the reasons in detail.It turned out that the merchant had a son named Shang Yu, who joined the army in his early years and entered the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army. Later, he went to Lingzhou to fight with the Marquis of Zhongshan, and he was said to be very respected.After the triumphant return of the Western Expeditionary Army, the family waited for him to return, looking forward to the stars and the moon, but what they finally got was a bad news.

The merchants were naturally heartbroken, but for some reason, suddenly some matchmakers came to their door, a young master on the left and a son on the right, who just wanted to make a marriage contract with Shang Yu's younger sister.The merchants were originally small households. When they experienced such a scene, they had to close their doors to see outsiders.

Among the onlookers, a smart person sighed: "I heard that Marquis Zhongshan values ​​love and righteousness. Since Shang Yu is his favorite general, and he died a heroic sacrifice on the battlefield, I think Marquis Pei will not treat merchants badly. Those people have better noses than dogs." Huanling, begging for marriage in such a hurry, I am afraid that the bottom of the butt is not clean, and I want to find a backer in advance."

The companion next to him hastily tugged at his sleeve, and pointed his mouth at the blue-skinned rascals in the distance, signaling that these people must be the watchdogs behind the matchmakers, and told him to be careful not to speak out.

The wise man looked sullen, after all he didn't dare to continue the discussion.

Da-da, da-da, da-da...

A sound of horseshoes sounded from the other side of Calabash Street, and dozens of horsemen walked slowly.

The matchmakers are all smart people who can see all directions and listen to all directions. They quickly noticed that those prominent knights, although they had never met Pei Yue, probably guessed the identity of the young man in charge, and immediately shut their mouths and retreated. On the side, only Aunt Qi who spoke first seemed to be interested, and continued to persuade the door.

Those green-skinned rogues wanted to slip away the moment they saw the cavalry, but the seven or eight cavalry suddenly accelerated and came to them, staring at them with stern eyes, making their legs weak and unable to move.

Pei Yue's complexion was not very good, because he remembered the scene when he went to meet Duan Kai's family in Xingyang City.

Wei Rui looked serious. He and Shang Yu were not only close friends on the battlefield, but before they came to Pei Yue's command, they were very close comrades in Nanying.When Shang Yu was killed in the Rift Valley, the grief in his heart was not weaker than anyone else's. This is why he, who has always been rational, firmly supported Pei Yue to kill Ning Zhong.

Deng Zai and Wang Yong have been preparing for the construction of the manor these days, so today it is Qi Min who is following Pei Yue. Looking at the chaos in front of the store, his back is already in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Pei Yue turned his head and gave him a cold look.

Qi Min swallowed nervously, and hurriedly leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Master, I specially asked two brothers to take care of this place. They said that everything in the business is fine, but recently a few matchmakers wanted to come to propose marriage. It's not because someone bullied you Merchant. I think it's a trivial matter, the young master has been too busy recently, so I didn't report it."

Pei Yue was noncommittal, and said to Wei Rui next to him, "Go and ask."

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Wei Rui led a few cavalry forward, and the matchmakers were so frightened that their teeth chattered, their usual eloquent posture disappeared, and they finally answered clearly.Wei Rui was cautious by nature, so he called the green-skinned scoundrels over and questioned them again, and made sure they were not lying before reporting to Pei Yue.

Pei Yue nodded and didn't blame Qi Min any more. He rode his horse forward for a while, and came to those trembling matchmakers and green-skinned rogues, and said indifferently: "Go back and tell the old man behind you that you don't dare Come here to disturb this family, it is best to prepare a coffin for yourself in advance, get out!"

A group of people didn't dare to say a word, and ran away in a hurry.

Although the people of Kyoto like to watch the excitement, but this group of people was too murderous, so they didn't dare to stay any longer, and they all dispersed soon.

The closed door of the business was suddenly opened from the inside.

After dismounting from the horse, Pei Yue took a jar from his attendant, walked slowly to the front, looked at a middle-aged couple in front of him, slightly bowed his head and said: "Uncle and aunt, I am Pei Yue."

Everyone from Wei Rui down there was shocked when they heard this sentence.

As Pei Yue's followers, they knew the temperament of their own Lord Hou very well.No matter who he faces, Pei Yue will maintain a polite face, but that's all. Except for a few people such as Gu Liang and Luo Ting, he will never deliberately lower his posture, because he is essentially an incomparable proud man.

The middle-aged couple in front of them is really ordinary. Shang's father is the most common middle-aged man in the city who runs around for a living. Shang's mother must have been delicate when she was young, but she has also been tainted by the years.However, in front of such two ordinary people, Pei Yue scrupulously performed the junior ceremony, and the reason was self-evident.

Father Shang's face was full of panic, he didn't know where to put his hands, and his lips moved in a nonchalant way.

Shang's mother was very nervous at first, but when she saw the jar that Pei Yue was holding in her eyes, she shed tears and said sadly, "My son..."

With solemn eyes, Pei Yue handed the jar containing Shang Yu's bones to Shang's mother.

Father Shang wiped away his tears, turned sideways and said, "If Hou Ye doesn't think the humble house is simple, please come in and sit for a while."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and led Wei Rui into the room, while the others naturally stayed outside.

Shang's mother tried her best to suppress her crying, and hugged the jar tightly, as if she could only feel her son's existence in this way.
