Chapter 69 Helpless Choice
At the same moment when Li Ye was teaching Zhang Ping how to cook, Li Dai and Pei Sanniang finally met in a tavern in Chang'anfang. It was actually not the first time they had met. In the past ten years, Li Dai had come to see Pei Sanniang several times, but every time He was beaten out by Pei Sanniang every time.

"Tell me! What danger is Ye'er in?" Pei Sanniang said coldly.

"Pingping, first of all, I want to apologize. I have been the one who has let you down all these years!" Li Dai finally got the chance to kneel down and apologize.

Pei Sanniang reacted quickly and kicked the bench over, preventing him from kneeling down.

Pei Sanniang's eyes flashed with anger, she gritted her teeth and scolded: "Don't talk such useless nonsense, hurry up and get down to business, I don't have time to spend with you!"

Li Dai had no choice but to get up and sit down again, sighing: "I know that Ye'er is a flying shark, and the Yang family also knows that in this polo match, the Ningwang polo team and the Yang family polo team competed for the group stage, but the Yang family won Got it, was eliminated.

The Yang family already knew that this was Ye'er's idea, and they hated Ye'er to the bone. Although King Ning could keep Ye'er temporarily, what about in the future?The Yang family is famous for holding grudges, and they will not let Ye'er go. "

"Hmph! At worst, I'll take Ye'er out of Chang'an. The world is so big, where is it not a safe place?"

"Pingping..."

"Don't call me Pingping, you are not qualified!"

"Okay! Although you can hide in the countryside, what about Ye'er's future? Ye'er is a genius, so don't you have the heart to let him remain unknown for the rest of his life, without even having the chance to display his talent?"

"Just say it! What do you want?"

"My father is willing to accept Ye'er's return and officially become a member of the Li family."

Pei Sanniang was furious, "I won't marry you as a concubine, don't dream of spring and autumn."

"No! No! No! These are two different things. I know I'm sorry for you, you won't forgive me, and I don't dare to ask you to come back to me, but you let Ye'er return to his hometown and let him have an official identity, Ye'er With the protection of his grandfather, the Yang family would not dare to do anything to him?"

When it came to her son's vital interests, Pei Sanniang didn't refuse outright, she said for a while, "Let me think about it!"

"Sanniang, once Ye'er is naturalized, he will no longer be an illegitimate child, and he will be able to hold his head high and stand tall!"

"Fart! When will my son not hold his head high? Get out of here, get out of here!"

"I'm going! I'll just go. Don't be angry. If you are angry, your heart will hurt!"

Li Dai was so frightened that he hurriedly left the tavern. He turned his head and took a deep look at Pei Sanniang, looked up to the sky and sighed, got on his horse, and left disconsolately.

Pei Sanniang pressed her chest with her left hand, and slapped the table hard, "You bastard, I'm so mad!"

.........

It was dusk when Li Ye returned home.

Aunt Mu immediately ordered food, and the family of three sat down to eat.

"Mom, I met an old lady today, guess who it is?"

"What did you say?" Pei Sanniang was a little distracted.

"I said I met an old lady named Pei today!"

"Who is she?" Pei Sanniang suddenly became interested.

"I don't know her name, but uncle said, she is your great-aunt!"

"Grandmother?"

Pei Sanniang thought for a while, and suddenly blurted out, "It must be Pei Zhen!"

"Mother has seen her?"

"I saw it once when I was young, but I can't remember clearly. She went to Liangzhou and took Pei Min away. She should have taught Pei Min's martial arts."

"It's her. She has been living in the palace, nicknamed Liefeng."

Pei Sanniang suddenly said, "It turns out that she is the famous Liefeng. Your grandfather said that this elder is very powerful. Let us try not to provoke her."

Li Ye took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to his mother, "This is from the old lady!"

"What is it?"

Pei Sanniang continued to read the paper carefully. She had studied for a few years and could barely read. There was no problem with reading the prescriptions. There were fifteen prescriptions in total, each of which was a secret in the palace. The secret recipe of poison is also among them.

"Ha ha!"

Pei Sanniang was ecstatic, she didn't care if she dropped her chopsticks, and waved the paper around the room, "With these secret recipes for plaster, I'm going to get rich!"

"Crazy girl, eat quickly!"

Aunt Mu knocked on the bowl and said dissatisfiedly: "Your son is watching! How can a mother be so crazy."

Li Ye smiled and said, "It's okay, I've already gotten used to it!"

"Stinky boy, will I always be like this?"

Pei Sanniang slapped him hard on the head, "Again, what kind of person is your mother?"

Li Ye covered his head and whispered: "My mother is bright and beautiful, gentle and kind, and able to manage the house diligently and thriftily. She is a typical good wife and mother!"

Only then did Pei Sanniang nod in satisfaction, "Forget it's a good wife, and a good mother is pretty much the same. I didn't raise you up, and you were taken away by wild dogs long ago. Bring me a pair of chopsticks again!"

Li Ye hurriedly ran to the kitchen to get back a pair of chopsticks and handed them to his mother. He hesitated for a while, pretending to be casual and asked: "Two days ago, a middle-aged scribe went to Yonghefang to find his mother. Xiaopang asked, do you want to leave him an address?" ?”

Pei Sanniang didn't expect her son to mention this matter, she was flustered for a while, she tapped the bowl with chopsticks and said: "These things have nothing to do with you, hurry up and eat!"

Aunt Mu saw it in her eyes, and secretly sighed in her heart.

After a while, Li Ye climbed up the city wall and left.

Aunt Mu pushed Pei Sanniang away from her room, and saw her sitting at the table with her chin resting in a daze, staring intently at the oil lamp.

"San Niang, why are you still up so late?"

Pei Sanniang sighed, "Ma'am, I can't sleep!"

Aunt Mu walked to the table and sat down, and asked, "Did you see him today?"

Pei Sanniang nodded, "He wants to talk about Ah Ye, I gave him a chance."

"How did he say?"

"He said that his father agreed to Ah Ye's naturalization."

"This is a good thing! At least it's a good thing for Ah Ye, he has a formal household registration in the government."

Because Li Ye is an illegitimate child, he is still a black householder, and Pei Sanniang's household registration is still in Zhangye, and her house is hung with Aunt Mu's name.

In Chang'an County, there is no information about Pei Sanniang's mother and son at all.

This is also something that Pei Sanniang has been worrying about all the time. If she doesn't have a husband's registration, once the government finds out that she is a black householder, she will be registered as a slave instead of an official slave.

There were a large number of official slaves in the Tang Dynasty, most of whom were prisoners of war, and some were black households without household registration.

Pei Sanniang sighed, "I know it's a good thing, I'm just angry, but I also hope that Ye'er can recognize his ancestor and return to his family. I let him be surnamed Li, and I've been waiting for this day, but... Ye'er returns to his family, his Who is the mother? I don't want him to recognize that bitch as his mother, but I don't want to be a concubine, so it's very difficult."

Aunt Mu smiled slightly: "Do you still remember your little brother Pei Jun? Who is his mother?"

Pei Sanniang suddenly remembered that her youngest brother, Pei Jun, was in exactly the same situation as Ye'er. Pei Jun's mother was a singer, but her own mother just wouldn't let her in. She had been living outside without a name, but Pei Jun But it was a child of the Pei family, but who was his mother was not mentioned?
Aunt Mu smiled and said: "You can make a condition to the Li family. If you don't come in, Ye'er is your son. Generally speaking, this kind of big family only cares about the paternal line and doesn't care much about the matrilineal line!"

"Then how should I tell Ye'er that his father is still there?"

"In fact, he has known since he was a child. Didn't you hear his hints when we were eating?"

Pei Sanniang lowered her head weakly, touched her forehead to the table and said, "Ma'am, I'm so confused."

Aunt Mu persuaded: "It's okay for us to be wronged, but we have to think about Ye'er's future. Li Dai is right, Ye'er is a genius, he can't be buried by us like this."

All mothers will give up their own interests for the sake of their children. Although Pei Sanniang has been wronged for 14 years, she still decided to let her son return to the Li family for the sake of her son's future.

"Okay! I agree, but what should I tell Ye'er?"

Aunt Mu hesitated, and tentatively said: "If you don't object, I can tell Ah Ye about this for you!"

Pei Sanniang sighed helplessly, "You tell him! Anyway, he will know sooner or later."

　Pei Sanniang is very staunch, and she doesn't want to be wronged to be a concubine, but as a mother, she still hopes that the Li family will recognize her son, and she doesn't want her son to bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child all the time.

　　That's why she never changed her son's name.
