Tibet

Chapter 370 Meet Again
Suzaku thought for a while and smiled, "It's possible that I'm still somewhat related to you?"

"why?"

"My mother's surname is also Pei, and she is also from the Wenxi Pei family."

Li Ye was stunned, "So Lie Feng accepted you as an apprentice, does it have anything to do with your mother?"

"This is a reason! The main reason is that I grew up in the palace."

"why?"

"I have an aunt who is Zhaoyi in the palace. Once my mother went to the palace to visit Zhaoyi with a big belly, but she accidentally moved her fetus, and it was too late to send it out. I was born in the palace, but my mother got pregnant. Puerperal fever, I died less than a month after giving birth. My aunt had no children, so she raised me in the palace. When I was five years old, my aunt also died of illness. Before she died, she handed me over to Master. Together."

"When did you leave the palace?"

"After I was ten years old, I often went home and lived with my father and brothers. I went to the palace to practice martial arts. The imperial concubine allowed me to go in and out of the inner palace at will."

"You know the concubine very well?"

"Of course I know her very well. She taught me how to read and write. Princess Quang Binh and I are both her students."

Li Ye nodded, "Then your martial arts is the highest among Lie Feng's disciples?"

Suzaku quickly shook his head, "Although I am the most favored by Master, I am not the best in martial arts. The highest is Master's third disciple, a little maid who waits on Master. Her name is Gongsunqian. Now everyone calls her Aunt Gongsun."

"Mrs. Gongsun!"

Li Ye smiled happily: "I heard that Du Fu also wrote poems praising her sword skills. In the past, there was a beautiful woman named Gongsun, who moved everywhere with her sword. Where is she now?"

"In the palace, she is also responsible for the safety of the imperial concubine, together with Pei Min's wife."

"Pei Min's wife is ranked second in martial arts!" Li Ye asked with a smile.

"No! She ranks third. The second is your aunt Li Tengkong. She has excellent lightness skills. She can jump off mountains and walk on trees like flying. The local people think she is a fairy."

"The fourth is you, right?"

Suzaku nodded, "I rank fourth, and I'm mainly known for lightness kung fu and throwing knives. Like you, I have practiced throwing knives in polo."

"Suzaku!"

Suddenly someone yelled not far away, and when she raised her head, Suzaku suddenly looked a little unnatural. Her elder brother Dugu Jinyang was standing not far away, holding a wine glass in his hand, looking at her and Li Ye with a half-smile.

"Why do you have to disturb others!"

Suzaku muttered in a low voice, and said to Li Ye: "It's my elder brother, I'll go and say hello!"

Li Ye nodded, Suzaku got up and walked over quickly.

Suzaku and Dugu Jinyang said a few words, then pointed to this side, and Dugu Jinyang waved to this side.

Li Ye also walked over, cupped his fists and said, "Brother Jinyang, long time no see!"

Dugu Jinyang chuckled, "I finally found the answer to the biggest mystery in our family."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Don't you still have something to do? Hurry up!"

Dugu Jinyang smiled, and said to Li Ye: "If you need anything at the barracks, just come and find me, and I will say hello to my father."

"Thank you, Brother Jinyang! It's okay now."

"Okay, don't bother you, I'll take a step first."

When Dugu Jinyang walked down the stairs, Suzaku suddenly said: "Brother, I have been to Anshanfang!"

Dugu Jinyang's face changed slightly, this dead girl actually used this incident to threaten herself not to talk too much.

He forced a smile and walked away quickly.

The two went back to their seats and sat down. Li Ye took two gold coins and gave them to the two singing girls. They were both surprised and happy, and quickly thanked them and left.

"Is your elder brother caught by you?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

Suzaku snorted, "He was messing around outside, raising another housewife, and his father found out, so it's no wonder he didn't break his legs."

"Your brother may be thinking of carrying on the family line!"

"If you want to pass on the family line, then you should marry a few concubines and take home a clean and good woman. My sister-in-law is also a tolerant person, but that woman is ah! You said that if she gave birth to a son, her son would be the same for the rest of her life." Why can't you hold your head up?"

Li Ye can fully understand that each family has its own rules, and some families don't care about the identity of mothers, and they redeem women from the entertainment field to take them back as concubines and have children for themselves. yes.

But some families are very concerned about it. As the top family of the Tang Dynasty, the Dugu family values ​​reputation and blood more than ordinary families. His mother was born as a prostitute, so it would be difficult for him to be accepted by the family. Even if he accepted it reluctantly, the child would not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.

Although the Tang Dynasty was tolerant and open to foreign cultures, it was inclusive of all rivers and rivers, but internally it was strictly hierarchical. People of all classes had different rules, and they could not dress casually. When crossing the market, once someone makes a report, he will be arrested, ranging from beating with a stick to exile.

Ordinary civilians are actually not bad. The people at the bottom are merchants, slaves and lowly people. Once they work in brothels and teaching workshops, they will be registered as lowly. Prostitutes want to marry well. Fancy, accept as a concubine, but old and decrepit, usually marry a musician who is also a lowly family, or marry a businessman, just like the description in "Pipa Xing", the front door is left out in the cold, and the eldest is married as a businessman woman.

This is also an important reason for Li Ye to explain his life experience to Suzaku. He was once an illegitimate child. If Suzaku or his family care about this, then there is no need to associate with him anymore.

The two sat for a while, then left the restaurant, and Li Ye sent Suzaku to the gate of Taiqing Palace.

"Suzaku, come to my house tomorrow if you are free! My mother likes you very much. If she knows that your mother is also a daughter of the Pei family, she will be very happy, and maybe she will let you accompany her to go treasure hunting."

"I'll try my best! Are you home tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow I'm going to the Bashang military camp, and I won't be back until the afternoon."

Li Ye stepped forward and took her hand again, and said with a smile, "Your elder brother said, what is the biggest secret he discovered?"

Suzaku's pretty face flushed, and she said shyly, "They know, for whom did I take off my mask!"

"Ah!" Li Ye suddenly realized that it was of great significance for Suzaku to take off the mask for herself in the tavern of Taixue.

Li Ye was agitated for a while, summoned up his courage, kissed her forehead like a dragonfly, and said with a smile, "I'm leaving!"

Suzaku was suddenly extremely shy, lowered his head, his heart was pounding like a deer, he actually kissed himself.

Just as Li Ye urged the horse to take a few steps, Suzaku bit his lip and suddenly shouted: "A Ye!"

Li Ye looked back at her with a smile, Suzaku blushed and said, "Go back and tell Auntie, I will definitely come tomorrow morning!"

Li Ye waved to her, turned his horse's head and left.

All the way back home feeling happy, Li Ye couldn't help but smiled at his mother: "Mother, I went to visit Liefeng yesterday."

Pei Sanniang kept saying that she was going to see her aunt, but she was so busy that she forgot about it, and asked quickly, "How is aunt?"

"She's nice, and she told me a secret!"

"What secret?" Pei Sanniang asked curiously.

"She said that Feilong hid a baby in the mansion in Taipingfang. I'm sure I like the baby."

"Isn't it your secret room?"

"No! It's somewhere else."

Pei Sanniang was immediately interested, and quickly asked, "What kind of treasure could it be?"

"The things I like must be gold, silver and jewelry."

Pei Sanniang's eyes lit up, "I like it too! Have you looked for it yet?"

"Suzaku and I went to look for it this morning."

"Suzaku?"

Pei Sanniang was immediately diverted. Compared with gold, silver and jewelry, she was more concerned about her son's lifelong affairs. She didn't want her son to bring her a barbarian daughter-in-law back from the Western Regions.

A mother definitely doesn't consider any feelings, but also considers appearance, temperament, family status, whether it is helpful to her son, and so on.

Suzaku is a good girl, both talented and beautiful. She is a lady of everyone, and she is also the daughter of the Dugu family. She will help her son's future.

The only fly in the ointment is that he is one year older than his son, but this is not a big problem.

"Ye'er, let Miss Suzaku come to our house!"

"She may come tomorrow morning. She didn't find the baby today, so she will accompany you to find the baby tomorrow."

Pei Sanniang was overjoyed, "Your old lady, I am a master at finding treasures, let's see how I can catch them tomorrow!"
