old spring return

Chapter 2

〇The sixteenth wife came to ask the crime

Near noon, there were fewer guests, and the couple had time to sit down and have a rest.Mrs. Zhang looked at her niece and daughter's tender face, and asked cautiously, "Sister Chun, are you secretly in love with Mr. Pei?"

Don't expect to be asked by my aunt suddenly, my heart beat like thunder, and I panicked, "What's wrong with my aunt, how can I like him, even though he is good in every way, after all, he is a man with a family, and the rules of the ancestors are true." Don’t dare to forget, never dare to have such thoughts.”

Mrs. Zhang hesitated, "But I always feel that you are affectionate in private. Mr. Pei is so considerate to you. Based on his status, it is really difficult for him to please you in every possible way."

Wuwang Duzui turned around, his head was in a mess, Pei Zhen's face was always in front of his eyes, he frowned and smiled, the mountains and rivers in his eyes seemed to be burned in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of them.It was weird to think about it, and she thought to herself, could it be that she really fell in love with him?How could it be? Isn't it the charter that she likes in her heart? Maybe it's because she owes Pei Zhen too much love, so it's because she feels sorry.

Mrs. Zhang saw her tangled look, and sighed, "If there wasn't that family rule, would you really be willing to follow him? In fact, in our current situation, there is no money to pick others. If you really want to, Then I told your uncle, I am very happy to look after Mr. Pei, even if I become his concubine, he will never treat you badly."

"Auntie, I don't want to work with others." Wu Wang said, "You and Uncle are fine, we share weal and woe, and there are no such troublesome things."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Your family really doesn't understand. We depend on each other now because we have suffered hardships. Your uncle was not so honest in the past. Erye Hong, the God of Wealth, has been making a splash all day long. He was fascinated by Goulan courtyard The girl in the house also raised a foreign house privately. But which one of the rich families is not like this, let alone your parents, so good, your father still has a concubine and a roommate."

Don Wang bowed his head and fiddled with the hemp rope in his hand. In his memory, there were two aunts, but they didn't go out often, and they didn't come out often in their own yard. Her mother was a peaceful person, and she didn't ask them on weekdays. All is well.Now that I think about it, my mother is broad-minded because she is sure that my father's heart is only on her. If he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, the house will definitely not be peaceful. On the contrary, those two aunts must be more bitter than Huanglian. Husband, no children, what else is there in this life!Then I remembered the regulations again, and my heart felt a little sweet, so I said to my aunt coyly, "Today, brother Zhang told me that he was going back to his adoptive mother, and asked someone to propose marriage."

When Mrs. Zhang heard the words, her face was also indifferent, and she just said, "Let's wait and see. Brother Cheng is not safe now. He doesn't know what will happen in the future. It's not good to accept it now. Besides, I think he is different from before." Well, if it were another man, someone who dared to do this to the girl he was going to marry would have made a fool of himself a long time ago, but he didn't seem to have seen it, and he didn't know what benefit Mr. Pei gave him, thank you very much .”

Wuwang heard Mrs. Zhang say this, although he was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. A big girl's family is arguing to get married, and it is always bad for others to see. In fact, she is not afraid of suffering according to the regulations. She was willing to live with him when she was in the thatched cottage, but now that she is half the master, she caused a rift between her aunts.

Mrs. Zhang went to the counter and counted the income from the whole morning in detail. The gross account actually had three or two taels of silver. With an income of five or six renminbi, if you farm the land, the tenants will still be short-lived by the end of the year. If you knew this, you should have come to the city earlier."

Wu Wang said in response, thinking to himself, if I didn't meet Pei Zhen earlier, how could it be easy to gain a foothold in the city, not even bones left.

At this time, two people dressed as waiters brought food boxes in and sang, "Master Defeng Louzhen has added food to Mrs. Liu's family!"

Mrs. Zhang led them to the back hall, and only listened to the two people serving the dishes and reporting the names of the dishes, "Braised snow pig, dry roasted fish, three delicacies crispy rice, five snake soup, dry fried prawns, cabbage in milk soup. , fish-flavored shredded pork, and tremella, lotus seeds, and red dates soup for the young lady, the master said that this soup nourishes yin and nourishes the lungs, and told the young lady to drink it."

Don't hope to laugh or cry, when the two waiters came out, they hurriedly took the broken silver to reward, the two of them raised their hands and said, "I don't dare, the master said that as long as the girl drinks the soup, he will have a reward on his own. It is absolutely forbidden to take money from the lady’s wife. Invite the girl to go in for dinner, the younger ones will watch outside, and when the meal is finished, the younger ones will collect the bowls and chopsticks before leaving.”

Wuwang nodded and entered the inner hall. Mrs. Zhang was staring at a table of food in a daze, and murmured, "This is a lot, just the two of us can eat it all, how can we finish it! You are so worried, Mr. Pei is usually like this." What about food, don’t waste it after a meal! If you can’t finish it, you will throw it away, it’s really burning money!” While pouring three dishes into the cupboard from his own sea bowl, he said, “ Save some to eat at night, and later put it in a bucket and hang it in the well, for fear that it will go bad at night."

Wu Wang said with a wry smile, "Auntie! It's so embarrassing to be seen, and you can't finish eating and walk around!"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Anyway, it's for us to eat. If you're afraid of embarrassment, you will say that I am a huge amount. I don't want to find my husband's family. I am not afraid that people will say that I am a foodie. But the uncle of the Pei family is afraid that he will like it when he sees that the bowl is empty. It's over!"

Wuwang said to Rao, "Good aunt, don't make fun of me anymore, eat quickly, and go to business after eating."

The meal was rich, and the wombat dish in milk soup was very good. I hope I ate a few more chopsticks with the rice, Zhang said, "It's still Mr. Pei's face! Amitabha, actually told our sister to eat half a bowl more, It's amazing!"

The two waiters guessed that they had finished eating, so they came in to tidy up, looked at more than half of the white fungus soup in the cup and said with a sad face, "My girl, if you don't drink the soup, how can we explain it when we go back!"

Wuwang said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I really can't drink it, so I might as well pour it out, and you can say that I drank it when you go back, is that okay?"

The two waiters thought about it for a long time, carefully poured out half of it, covered the lid, put it in the food box, bowed again, bowed and walked out, and then walked to the door, seeing a person getting off the sedan chair, they couldn't help being startled , greeted the ceremony respectfully, and shouted, "Greetings to Grandma."

Mrs. Zhang and Wu Wang's heart skipped a beat, the secret thought was bad, Grandma Zhen came to the door, and no matter why she came, the person who came must be bad.Mrs. Zhang winked at Wu Wang, wanting to tell her to avoid her, but Wu Wang looked calm and showed no intention of avoiding her, she did not do anything shameful, if she avoided it, it would be a mistake!
Grandma Zhen is really a beauty. She looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. She is wearing a long gown with diameter gauze wrapped around branches and saw lotus and plain weave. She holds a silk fan in her hand, rouge on her lips, and Koudan on her fingertips. She is standing gracefully. In front of the door, there is nothing too beautiful.She looked up at the plaque on the door frame, with neither joy nor sadness on her face, she only whispered, "Li Xuezhai, it really is a good name, worthy of a wonderful person like a girl."

Wuwang welcomed her and the two maids in, and served the tea ceremony, "I don't know that Grandma Zhen is here, so she is far away to welcome her."

Sister Su saw that the girl had bright eyes and bright teeth, and the plain clothes were slender, she really had a good appearance, her heart sank.Originally, I wanted to see what the man on the top of Mr. Zhen's heart looked like. He was just as beautiful as a peach and plum, and he himself would not be compared. Who knows that he is a fairy-like figure. He doesn't have a head jewelry on his body, but has black hair. Ruyun, with fair skin and bright red sandalwood mouth, compared with her, the rouge on her mouth seems kitsch.I felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, and had to squeeze out a three-point smile, and replied indiscriminately, "It's okay, I heard that Mr. Zhen said that the girl opened a shop near here, so I wanted to come and identify the door, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. , thanks to this plaque, I recognized it anyway.”

Wu Wang smiled and said, "My aunt and I made these snacks. I'll pick some for Madam later and take them back to taste. I just hope Madam won't dislike them."

Mrs. Zhang nodded at the side and said, "Thanks to Mr. Pei's many cares, since Madam is here today, at least I will give you a favor and bring some back, so that the girls in the house can also taste it."

Sister Su didn't answer, and asked directly, "That plaque outside looks familiar, but is it a gift from our uncle?"

Wang Wang Xindao really asked the teacher to ask the crime, his face was still calm, and he nodded with a light smile.

"It's weird." Sister Su sneered, "Our uncle is using his mind now, I don't know how soon my sister will come into the garden? It's always unseemly outside, besides opening such a shop, others don't know how to make fun of it, sister, Do you say yes or no?"

Wuwang gritted his teeth and endured it for a long time before saying, "Grandma Zhen's words are not understandable to Mr. Chun. If Mr. Chun opens such a cake shop and does not steal or rob, and lives by handicraft, it is a joke."

Sister Su waved her silk fan, and said slowly, "I know it, sister, don't be ashamed, I came today to invite my sister to come back with me, no title won't last long, and I'm not a jealous person People can still tolerate it in their eyes."

Wuwang's face was pale, he was humiliated by Grandma Zhen, and he hated Pei Zhen in his heart. He let his temper go like that, and now his wife misunderstood him, Baba ran here, and nothing happened.

Mrs. Zhang on the side couldn't listen anymore, and said in a bad mood, "Grandma, did you say this after asking clearly, our sister is a girl who has not left the cabinet, so such dirty water can't be poured, and there is no such reason , you, a grandma, show up to invite men, if people listen to it, it will really lose face."

Miss Su is angry!She wanted to invite her into the garden with a good voice, but she had to kill her by all means when she was under her nose, but now she picked up Joe and complained about her.

"Don't look at our grandma's good nature. Does an aunt still need three media and six hires? Which one doesn't just carry it in through the side door quietly and finish the job. Our grandma came here because she was afraid of losing her dignity. Don't Shame on you!" Miss Su's eldest girl, Xi'er, was sharp-tongued, and when she saw her master being robbed, she got angry and yelled back at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was furious, and said with a sneer, "Which girl is so lacking in discipline, your master is talking here, where is the room for you to intervene!"

Don't hope that there are gradually people watching in front of the door, so she hurriedly persuaded Mrs. Zhang to stop, and said to Sister Su, "I think grandma is thinking about it. My family didn't agree to Aunt Qi's job as a matchmaker, so I can't talk about what my aunt said."

Sister Su didn't look her in the right eyes, and said sarcastically, "I didn't agree on the face, but I was very close in private. You don't want to give you a title, but you can't steal it!"

〇[-] true love does not dislike

Don Wang held his breath in his throat, unable to spit it out, and said in a hateful voice, "Grandma, please think twice when you say something. I am the daughter of a decent family, and I don't want to suffer such unjust injustice? Mr. Pei helped our family, we Originally, I was extremely grateful, and I will definitely repay in the future, but repaying kindness is not worth a promise, Chun Jun's family has no money and no power, so it is absolutely impossible to climb high, please rest assured, grandma."

Sister Su patted the table and stood up and said, "I don't know if you really look at me. It rained heavily that day, and you two stayed in the same room for half a day. It was so dark and dark for half an hour. You can't do anything! Our uncle Zhen is not Liu Xiahui, he is like a greedy cat, you two are fine, no one will believe you if you tell me!"

Wu Wang was so wronged that he almost cried, his eyes were teary, and I felt pity for him even more.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "I know about this. My man broke his leg. Sister Chun went to invite Mr. Pei to treat her uncle that day. It happened to catch up with the torrential rain. I will come back after the rain is over." There are also."

Sister Su scoffed, "That's just a cover, no one knows what he did, Master Zhen sent everyone outside, what good can he do!"

Now Mrs. Zhang was also stunned and had nothing to say, she just stared at Wuwang, if it wasn't for Sister Su's presence, she might have to go to trial.

Don't hope that she is calm instead. This woman is really like Zhuer said. She has a virtuous name and is jealous in her bones. She can say all kinds of cruel words. I am afraid that she is also a person with all kinds of poisons. That Mr. Pei is really a pitiful.He said conveniently, "I act upright and upright, and I'm not afraid of being pointed behind my back. If grandma has time to worry about this, it's better to focus on Uncle Zhen. Isn't the harmony between husband and wife better than others?"

Sister Su saw that the girl straightened her back, her face was cold and there was no abnormality, and the words she said were like sharp thorns piercing her heart, her face turned gray immediately.Who doesn't want a husband and wife to live in harmony, but when Uncle Zhen sees her, it's like seeing an enemy, and he doesn't even have a good face, how can he be harmonious!Having said that, he was just a loser, and he cheered up and said, "You don't need to worry about whether our husband and wife are harmonious or not. I have already been here today, and I invited my sister, and Master Zhen also explained it face-to-face. If you are willing to go back to the mansion with me, it will be difficult to come in after that day, my sister should think carefully."

Wu Wang snorted secretly, said a car full of cruel words and said that he was here to invite someone, and he was here to show off, or he should have sent Qing Qing away earlier.He said, "Mr. Chun dare not call grandma sister. Grandma just needs to watch over Uncle Pei. I don't think there will be any trouble here."

"Okay!" Sister Su said in a deep voice, the silky golden phoenix on her head trembled slightly, "Young lady is really good-tempered, what can be said today?"

Wu Wang said, "Naturally counts."

Sister Su said with a smile, "Then I will take my leave, Miss Chunjun, please stay." After finishing her dress, she led the two maidservants out the door.

Mrs. Zhang let out a foul breath, panted for a while, and suddenly recalled the words of Grandma Shicaizhen, and hurriedly asked, "What happened that day? Why did you dismiss all the servants? Did Mr. Pei ever Do something to you? Are you going to kill me? Say it!"

Wu Wang sighed, "Auntie is confused, it's as bad as she said! I only ate in one place, and nothing else. If there is really something, she will not come, Zuo Bu came to find out, and returned It’s just safe at home.”

Mrs. Zhang stomped her feet and said, "The most poisonous woman's heart! Such ugly words are used to spoil you, so that others can hear it, and you will not be married!"

Wuwang Gougou said idlely, "If she ruins my reputation, then I have no choice but to marry Pei Zhen? She definitely won't. Didn't you see what she said just now when she was avoiding the crowd?"

Mrs. Zhang fell into the chair and murmured, "It's a good thing I didn't agree to the marriage. This grandma is not a vinegar jar, she is clearly a vinegar vat. If she really entered the garden and fell into her hands, it would be very dangerous."

Wuwang is also quite fortunate, although it is certain that marrying Pei Zhen will be rich and prosperous, but fighting each other every day is also a labor-intensive thing, so he is not as happy as he is now.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang asked again, "Then what will Mr. Pei do when he comes back? It's not easy to get out."

Wu Wang said, "It's our family's benefactor, there is absolutely no reason to drive him out, it's because she doesn't have the ability to see the man, she has nothing to do with others, at most I'll avoid him every time Mr. Pei comes."

On that side, Pei Zhen didn't know about it yet, and was having a good chat with Zhang Zhang.

"Since that's the case, it's better to sign the contract tomorrow, so as not to have long nights and dreams. I don't know what shopkeeper Xue wants?"

The shopkeeper Xue is the owner of the largest rice noodle shop in the city. He had originally read the [-]th and [-]th articles of association, so he had no intention of cooperating with him again, but now that Pei Zhen is mediating among them and is willing to be a guarantor, it is not easy to refute his face , had no choice but to keep saying, "Make it so."

At this time, Zhang Cheng's admiration for Pei Zhen was of course endless, and he was only happy for the deal to be concluded, and everything else had long since been thrown out of the blue.Pei Zhen smiled happily, thinking, how about it?Tomorrow's temple fair will be in vain. It seems that Liu Wuwang still has no money. This age is the time to start a career. If you want to start a family, let the subordinates come first.

While shaking his head, Zhu'er bent over and whispered something next to his ear, but he couldn't hear what he said, so he had to give up to the others at the table, and dragged Zhu'er to the private room next door.

"Let's talk." After drinking a few sips of strong tea, seeing Zhu'er stammering, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, "But the old emperor died?"

Assistant shook his head and said, "It's more important than this."

Pei Zhen frowned, with a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted, "Killer, I'm playing charades with my master, don't you think you want to lead the stick in the dark room?"

Zhu'er shivered in cooperation, and moaned back, "Our grandma went to find Miss Chunjun, and she didn't feel unhappy when she came back. The little one thought, since grandma is not at a disadvantage, then Miss Chunjun I must have suffered a loss, maybe I will cry at home now."

To Pei Zhen, such news is nothing like a bolt from the blue. He sat there blankly, unable to figure out the direction for a while, so he could only scold, "Why did you come back? What did you do long ago!"

Zhu'er whispered, "I just fell asleep, and the eldest grandma has already returned to her yard. I will come to see you when I get the letter."

Pei Zhen immediately lost her temper, "You got up at Chenshi, you bastard slept so late, why didn't you blow your intestines out along the way! How are you doing now! Have you visited Li Xuezhai?" ? Is she really crying?"

Zhu'er said with a bitter face, "As soon as I got the letter, I went back and forth to report to the uncle. I haven't had time to go to Lixue Zhai yet."

Pei Zhen thought for a while and asked, "Did Grandma bring someone there?"

The assistant said, "I brought Xi'er, and there was a second-class girl. I questioned that girl, but I couldn't explain it upside down. Probably grandma wanted to take the girl into the garden, but the girl refused, and grandma said Grandpa Sharing a room with girls alone and widows, and so on, they broke up in the end."

Pei Zhen pondered for a moment, the gloom in his eyes became thicker and thicker, Zhu'er shrank aside in fright, and prayed, God Bodhisattva, who can stop the uncle from killing someone!If you want to kill me, then I will run towards Lixue Zhai, and beg Miss Chunjun to save my life.

Pei Zhen was in a sea of ​​anger at the moment, and it was so hard to get close to her. If Su Qing came here to interfere, wouldn't all the previous efforts be useless!Since she has already refused to enter the garden, she will definitely avoid him in the future. Poor him, will he end up with a disastrous end after all his tricks are exhausted?

"Ji Suqing dare not take Master's words seriously? Don't give her any favors, and just pretend that Master is afraid of her." Pei Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "I will restrain her feet today and send someone to find her father. Lord, I want to revive Husband Gang."

"Grandpa, the master in-law is in Shanyin County!" the assistant muttered, thinking that the uncle must be mad with anger, and there is nothing serious to alarm the old man.Seeing that Pei Zhen's face was livid, he had no choice but to explain, "The uncle is angry, and he must not make himself uncomfortable. Even if he asks his relatives to come and argue, he can't figure out why. Grandma is going to invite Miss Chunjun. It’s not that I went to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, the uncle lost his temper for no reason.”

Pei Zhen breathed deeply a few times, and finally calmed down a bit, then narrowed his eyes again and calculated carefully, and after a while, he laughed eccentrically again, so much so that his son gasped, and the hairs on his back stood on end.

"Since that's the case, then you will use your plan. You send someone to spread the word, saying that Miss Chunjun from Lixuezhai and Pei Zhen have already engaged in a private life-long engagement," Pei Zhen said with a smile, "I want to marry her anyway, and I'm only doing this. Come back."

The assistant said in horror, "Wouldn't that damage the girl's reputation!"

Pei Zhen's beautiful phoenix eyes flew away, "My reputation has also been ruined, so I don't dislike her."

Zhu'er almost fell down when he heard this.What's the point?Their masters never play cards according to common sense, but this time it's a little bit too much, as expected, love can make people crazy, so crazy that they don't even want the old face of several lifetimes.

Pei Zhen thought for a while and then added, "The charter will be passed on especially. I'll bet this time, if the charter doesn't mind after listening to it and still wants to marry her, then I will admit defeat and let them live together. If there is any hesitation, then it’s no wonder Grandpa beat the mandarin duck with a stick, even if I chase her to the Naihe Bridge, I will still get her.” He clenched his teeth fiercely as he spoke.

At this moment, Zhu'er felt his hair stand on end, she was nothing more than a woman, could she risk her life?It's really not worthwhile to waste energy on the personal relationship of children without doing important important things!Zhuer said, "The meaning of the uncle is: If you don't use it for me, you will be killed by me?"

Pei Zhen sneered, "I don't want to be killed! I'm a Confucian businessman, and I never call for beating or killing."

Zhu'er felt a chill again. Who has ever seen a Confucian businessman who injured eleven lives with a golden needle?He is probably the only one who can pretend to be like this in front of someone he knows so well.

Pei Zhen shook his head, stroked his forehead and said, "I have a headache. I think it's because I drank too much. Go and sue me at the court, and say that I can't do it. Let them have fun, and I'll be with you next time."

The assistant hurriedly responded, closed the door of the private room, ran to the next door and repeated Pei Zhen's original words, and came back anxiously to take care of his drunk master, and opened the door, but the building was already empty.

〇[-] False Drunk and Seeking the Truth

Just as Wang Wang was doing his calculations, he suddenly saw a horse running towards the door, and a man was immediately hanging on it. As soon as the horse stopped, the man slid down crookedly, and when he looked again, Master Zhen lay down on Li Xue's bed. outside the gate of the fast.Wu Wang hurriedly threw away the account book and ran out, seeing that his face was blushing, and he didn't wake up even after pushing him twice, so he said helplessly, "Why are you so drunk!"

Wanting to help him up, the girl was weak after all, and she couldn't move one of his arms after several tugs, so she had to call Mrs. Zhang to help.

Mrs. Zhang was steaming a basket of Yunpian Cake in the back kitchen, when she heard Wuwang yelling to rush out, the two of them worked together to carry him into the room.

Mrs. Zhang looked at the face that was as red as a cooked shrimp, and said in embarrassment, "What should I do? Let's go to his house and call someone, at least get him back, and let his grandma know about it! "

Wu Wang frowned and said, "I really didn't expect him to be ridiculed by the master's grandma again in his house. I'll watch him sleep for a while and he should be fine. When I wake up from the wine, I'll go back."

Mrs. Zhang rubbed her hands and said, "It's really hard to deal with. This incident just happened, and he came to you drunk again in a blink of an eye. You can't avoid it even if you want to."

Wu Wang said, "It doesn't matter, he's so drunk that he doesn't know anything, taking care of him is all he can do."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "I'll make him a bowl of hangover soup, and you can feed him." Turning around, he went back to the kitchen, took out the sour dates and kudzu root and boiled it together.

Gu Wang saw that he was sweating a lot, and his forehead was hot when he touched it, so he wrung the veil with well water to clean his face, then took another piece that was wet and applied it to his forehead, and took the round fan on the bedside to give it to him. He played the fan carefully, and felt relieved when he saw that he was more stable.

His wine taste was pretty good, he didn't make a fuss or vomit, he just frowned and lay quietly.Wu Wang turned his head to look at him, he is really handsome!Such a man must have many girls who fall in love with him, why would he look down on her?If he wants to marry a concubine, there will be a lot of girls from good family backgrounds pressing him to choose. In fact, it doesn't matter which one doesn't have three wives and four concubines. It's just that she is stubborn, and she is afraid that she will disappoint him in the end.This Uncle Zhen stumbled on this, and he must feel wronged in his heart. If she is ruthless and holds back, it will naturally get better after a while.

Thinking of this, the fan in his hand slowed down, and Pei Zhen started to move again because of the heat. Now it's not easy to undress him, so he stepped up the fan, which made his arm sore, and Pei Zhen's eyelashes moved and opened My eyes were blurred for a while, I looked at her, thought for a long time before saying, "Are you Chun Jun?"

Wu Wang nodded and said, "It's me. You're drunk, are you feeling better now?"

Pei Zhen blinked and said, "Where is my handkerchief?"

Wu Wang hurriedly searched for him, and it was hard to touch his inner pocket, so he gave him his own and said, "I don't know where yours is, so let's use mine for now, what do you want a handkerchief for?"

Pei Zhen stuffed the handkerchief on her chest and said, "I want to tie a mouse for Chun Jun to play with."

Wu Wang's face turned red and green, it seemed that he was still drunk, and he sounded like he was talking nonsense, so he comforted him softly, "Go to sleep for a while, it won't be too late to wake up."

Pei Zhen closed her eyes and sighed, "How do you know my heart!"

Wuwang couldn't help but also sighed, this person seems to be very infatuated, but after she is an exiled prisoner, she is not worthy of him.

Pei Zhen was quiet for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said, "Don't leave here."

Wu Wang pressed him down again, and said straightly, "I won't leave, I'll watch you sleep, I'll find someone to send you back later, you go to sleep."

Pei Zhen muttered, "I'm right here, I want to be with you."

Wu Wang's heart was pounding, he turned his face away and said kindly, "Then how about I go to your house and find a servant? It would be more convenient for him to serve you."

Speaking of getting up to leave, Pei Zhen grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "Chun Jun, I don't want anyone else, but you to serve me. If I don't learn now, what will I do in the future." He was even more rascal than a child.

Wu Wang shook his head secretly, thinking so far, where is there any future!In the future, he will have his grandma Zhen to take care of him, and she will also have her brother Zhang's family to take care of him, so he can live without violating the river water, what can he do!Thinking this way in my heart, now that he is drunk, it is not easy to argue with him, so I let him speak, but gently pulled out his hand and said, "I don't want to go, just don't make trouble."

At this time, Mrs. Zhang brought hangover soup, glanced at the people on the bed, and said in a sad voice, "Those people did not know how to do the job. The master is drunk like this and no one follows him. Let him lie on the road alone! I am worried about you Uncle, I want to go to Defeng Tower to take a look, it's not easy to judge people in front, you can come after feeding him medicine."

Don't expect to agree, after blowing cold medicine to feed him, Pei Zhen, who was chattering just now, seems to have fallen asleep, let you call him, and turn a deaf ear.There is no other way, and I don't care about the difference between men and women. If I don't feed him medicine, I am afraid that I will really sleep until tomorrow, and I will have a headache for a day or two when I wake up.Gritting his teeth, Wu Wang struggled to lift him up, trying to drag him against the bed frame, but the man was too heavy, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed, let him lean on his body, and took a spoon to feed him.

Pei Zhen never thought that pretending to be drunk would have such an unexpected gain. Through a thin layer of fabric, she could even hear her heartbeat, as well as the girl's faint fragrance and the softness of his cheeks, it's really amazing His mouth was dry, and even the sour hangover soup was like fairy dew, and it tasted extremely delicious.

Don't hope to know these!After feeding the medicine, carefully put him to lie down, opened the window again, put down the window screen, carefully checked that he was fine, then went out and closed the door, and went forward.

Hearing that she was walking away, Pei Zhen took out the handkerchief in her arms to look at it. It was embroidered with two butterflies and a plant of bluegrass. The stitches were very dense and her embroidery skills were excellent. She folded and folded it and hid it in her lapel like a baby. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she smiled inscrutablely, thinking, the little girl is really easy to deceive, she is so drunk!I only drank a few cups today, and that little bit was like drinking tea to me. I can’t let go of you in my heart, and I don’t want to see you anymore. Only by doing this badly can I not annoy you. God knows my hard work. what.

Wu Wang just arrived at the shop, and a few women in their 30s and [-]s came. They didn’t buy anything, they just pointed there, but Wu Wang didn’t get angry, and asked in a good voice, “Who do you ladies want to buy pastries?” Is it? We have Jiangnan food here, do you want some of it?"

One of the women in purple came up and smiled, "I'm from a roast chicken shop three houses away. You just opened today. Firstly, you came to congratulate me. Second, you came to make friends with girls. Uncle Pei is the girl's guest. We are neighbors." Yes, it’s good to have some light.”

Wang Wang was not happy when he heard it, but it was not easy to show it on his face, so he just laughed and said, "The sisters-in-law were joking, Mr. Pei is kind-hearted, and he helped us because of the pity of our uncle and nephew. He is not a distinguished friend." , Sisters-in-law, don’t get me wrong.”

"Then why did Grandma Pei take the girl into the garden today?" The women exchanged glances, looked into the backyard, and said, "Mr. Pei was drunk just now, and now he's lying in there? "

Now that the world is stable, people on the street earn money every day, and when they have free time, they go around to inquire about other people's private affairs. It is also possible to get together in one place and talk about it. Go to the front and ask face to face, what is the reason for this!
Just before hope broke out, Mrs. Zhang, Liu Hong, Zhang Cheng and Pei Zhen's servants came together, and the women dispersed when they saw too many people.

The assistant made a bow to call the girl, and then asked, "Is my uncle all right?"

Wu Wang said, "After eating hangover soup, he fell asleep again. He is in the wing room. Go and see him."

After saying a few polite words, the assistant went into the house to look after his master.

Liu Hong seemed to be a little bit up, Mrs. Zhang helped him into the room to rest, and there were only two people left on the shop floor.

"Did something happen?" Seeing his unhesitating face, Gu Wang sat in the chair silently, suspicious in his heart, and asked, "But did you get angry at the dinner?"

The charter said, "No."

"Then why are you making a fool of yourself! There must be something wrong?" Wu Wang arranged rows of cloud cakes that had cooled down, and looked back at him, his face was still gloomy.

Zhang Zhang held back for a long time before he said, "Those people at the table said something, and I was very blocked. They all thought Mr. Pei was your son-in-law, and they complimented your uncle in every possible way, but I became a fine person by the side. You can't be angry gas?"

Wu Wang smiled, deliberately teasing him and said, "Aren't you just okay! Could it be related?"

Zhang Cheng was honest, immediately blushed and said in a daze, "When I mention marriage, it will naturally be related."

Thinking of what my aunt said, Wu Wang hesitated whether to tell Zhang Zhang, so he said vaguely, "What to do, take other people's words to heart, it's not the first day you and I met, don't you know what I am. "

Zhang Zhang thought it was reasonable, so he stopped arguing. Seeing that the assistant ran to fetch water, he wondered, "Mr. Pei got drunk after a few sips."

Wu Wang smiled and didn't answer, he thought he had been running around for two days, went to bed late yesterday, woke up early today, hurt his body and couldn't drink at the bar, it's hard to say in front of the regulations, just pretend he doesn't know.

"Mr. Pei is really a good man," Zhang Zhang said to himself again, "I just heard that I didn't take power in that house, so he relied on his face to continue the previous business for me, bypassing my wife's aunt and cousin, and only calling me I signed the contract myself, so I can raise my head in the future."

It was strange that Auntie said that he was very grateful to Pei Zhen. Since it was such a good deed, he should be thanked.What is most lacking in the charter is this. Distant relatives who have not seen each other for 800 years, how can the food be delicious, and everything will fail, just ordering names, the wife will not be happy after a long time, not to mention there is an older sister Riri Whisper in the ear.

"It's just that we have to discuss things tomorrow, and I'm afraid we won't be able to go to the temple fair." Zhang Zhang said guiltily, "Don't be angry with me. I'll make it up for you when things are done, okay?"

Although Wuwang was a little disappointed, he didn't want to embarrass Zhang Zhang, so he smiled and said, "What's this worth? Of course, it's important to do serious business. If you can't go tomorrow, there will be September [-]th. This opportunity is so easy to get, you must not miss it. "

Zhang Zhang was very grateful for what he had said, and he thought in his heart that after he had established a firm foothold in Ji's house, Wuwang would not have to endure hardships. For the sake of a safe life in the future, it was okay not to go to the temple fair.

〇[-] Mingyue Jun of the Pei family

Uncle Rizhen came home drunk and stayed in the chrysanthemum garden for five full days without leaving a single step. Every day, meals were delivered to the garden, and none of the business guests were there. On the sixth day, two people came from Peiping. Uncle Zhen came out of the garden to invite the honored guests in fresh clothes and furious horses. The three of them entered the garden, ordered the assistant to close the garden gate, and there was no more sound.Everyone guessed that it must be caused by the lawsuit of Second Master Lan's servant who beat someone to death. For a man with such a face like Master Zhen, if such a thing happened in his family, he must try his best to smooth it over. Those two are always in harmony. Officials, behind closed doors to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, it was none other than Yan Wang's trusted guards and commanders Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

Zhang Yu clasped his fists and said, "How is Mr. Mingyue?"

Pei Zhen nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, you two have worked hard all the way! I was supposed to go to Peiping, but there was some trouble at home, and I was worried about not leaving."

Zhu Neng hurriedly said, "Sir, what's the matter? I'm waiting for you to do business for the prince. How dare you say hard work. The prince knows your temperament and doesn't blame him. It's just because the matter is so big that Feige is afraid of going wrong. Our brothers rushed here."

Pei Zhen invited them to sit down, and asked the assistant to serve tea, and said in a hurry, "Take a breath first, on this hot day, do you two need to take a bath first? I'll send someone to set up a banquet, and we'll How about a drink and a chat?"

Zhang Yuzhu looked at each other and said with a broken face, "Sir, don't make fun of us. This matter is imminent. The lord is so anxious, he told us to make an agreement with Mr. to report back immediately, without any delay. We want to drink. When my husband comes to Peiping in the future, we brothers and sisters will accompany him to drink for three days, but we can’t stop drinking today, please forgive me, sir.”

Pei Zhen thought to himself, why do I really want to invite you to drink? The two of you have such a strong smell that almost smelt out my master's overnight meal, how can you talk about serious business!

As for the assistant, although he is young, he has been with Pei Zhen for four or five years after all, and he is clever. What does the master think, he has a clear stomach, so he immediately poured two basins of water and pancreas, haha Waist said, "Your lord, the road is full of dust and dust. The younger one felt distressed when he saw it. He was sweating a lot. He must be in a panic. The younger one brought water, and the two generals wiped their faces first. , I want to eat and drink when I get home, I will go to the kitchen to bring iced sour plum soup, the men will talk first, and wait for the banquet to be ready before entering the table, there will be no delay."

The two of them thought it was reasonable, but they didn't see Pei Zhen saying anything, so they readily agreed. Because they were from the army and knew Pei Zhen well, they had no taboos. They took off their clothes in twos and started scrubbing their shirtless arms. He said, "According to Mr. Wang, what should the prince do now? Seize or wait?"

Pei Zhen shook his folding fan and said leisurely, "If the name is not right, the words will not be right. There are [-] imperial guards in the Imperial City. His Highness's army has not yet been deployed. By the time of Yingtian, the old emperor has long died. The new emperor ascended the throne." , the prince will become a traitor who seeks to usurp the throne, not to mention the grandson of the emperor, when the King of Zhou and King Ning will all come to crusade, in the end they will make wedding clothes for others."

Zhang and Zhu looked at each other, and said hesitantly, "What if we wait?"

Pei Zhendao, "Emperor Taizu left just a few days ago. There was news from the palace that he didn't even recognize anyone. The coffin and inner chamber were all ready for burial, just waiting for his death. The thing is to cut down the vassals, the lord just needs to wait until those vassal kings are killed or demoted, and then the lord will play the banner of the Qing emperor, and he will be famous as a teacher."

Zhu Neng hesitated and said, "If the imperial court comes directly to arrest him, what should we do?"

Pei Zhen said, "One change responds to all changes."

Zhang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Please also ask Mingyue Lord to express it."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "It depends on His Highness's means. You may call it sick, or pretend to be crazy and stupid. It will take a long time."

The two were silent, and after a while they said, "According to Mr., what are the chances of winning?"

Pei Zhen said, "My spies came to report, and the only ones relying on the emperor's grandson are Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, those two sour talents, they don't even understand what it is to lead soldiers to fight, and they hold their knives above their heads all day long. Adding two literati to the baby, can His Highness King Yan not be able to deal with it?"

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng laughed loudly, and said, "It will become a great cause in the future, and you must have a high-ranking official and generous salary, sir."

Pei Zhen smiled lazily, noncommittal.I secretly said in my heart, Catalpa Wu is far and near Qianguan Tomb, and He Mi is high and low for six generations of palaces.So what about the feudal marquis worshiping the prime minister, it's just a nightmare.

At this time, the assistant came in to report, "Gentlemen, the food and drinks are complete, let's eat."

A few people went to the side hall, and there were more than a dozen dishes on the dining table, which were exquisitely cooked. The two of Zhang and Zhu had been bumpy on the road for the past few days, and they couldn't eat or sleep well. Now that they heard Pei Zhen's words, they felt better At the end, Fang Jue was hungry, so they gave in to each other for a few minutes, and they all sat down and poured wine.

Zhang Yu looked around, the decoration was elegant, with silver walls and green tiles, and two rows of green bamboos were planted on both sides of the corridor. Looking out through the moon hole window, the wind blew through and made a sound, which seemed to be a different world from the scorching sun outside. Yes, I just feel refreshed and pleasant, and the heat is gone.Said sideways, "Sir, this is really a fairy mansion. I don't want the house given by the strange prince. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and a life of wealth and idleness is so happy."

Pei Zhen said, "No, it's just that Yan Jiaci's family is old, and if you let them run around and suffer, I, a son, should die. Besides, it has been 12 years since my father removed his armor. It has taken root here, and it can't be uprooted." .”

Then Zhu Neng said, "Now we are training in the Forbidden Garden. His Highness sent someone to send a carload of geese and ducks. They kept shouting all day long, making my brain hurt from the noise. It is really a paradise here."

Pei Zhenfu smiled again, "In that case, let's stay for one night. We have a Big Wild Goose Lane here, and the girls in it are famously beautiful. I sent someone to send the two of them there, which is also my kindness as a landlord."

Those two were often in the army, and when they heard there was a girl, their faces were intoxicated, and they smiled relatively secretly, Zhu Neng said, "Mr. Mingyue, can we go together?"

Pei Zhen waved his hands again and again and said, "Please forgive me, both of you. You two also know how my grandma is doing. If I go, won't there be chaos, no way!"

Zhang Yu also teased, "A man like Mr. is actually a fear of guilt, how can this be! Besides, he has no children these years, so it's not easy to take care of the relationship between husband and wife, so he doesn't even want incense."

Pei Zhen laughed dryly and said, "My lord's matchmaking is better than ordinary ones." After taking another sip of wine, he thought to himself, isn't this woman sent by Zhu Di to spy on me!Zhu'er's phrase "If I don't use it, I will kill it" should be applied to me. Now that I know so much inside information, there is no room for retreating. Put a woman by my side to guard against me. Only when I don't know how!It's just that he made a wrong calculation. Sister Su still has a master behind her, who hooked up with King Ning's aide, Xiao Qian, and told me to be a bastard early on. I absolutely can't swallow this tone!

Zhang Yuzhu could only know their lord's intentions, so he raised his glass and said, "Drink, drink."

Pei Zhen looked at the sky and said, "Drink, you two, I'll go out and give orders." As he spoke, he went out of the side hall, called for his assistant, and said in a low voice, "You tell the outside to prepare a carriage, and go back to Dayan Lane go."

The assistant asked, "Master, do you want to bring him back?"

Pei Zhen scoffed, "Send them away, bring them back, they didn't mess up my place! Just now, I mentioned Sister Su's matter, and I didn't know Zhu Di's intentions, so I admitted it after being dumb. And expose my scars."

Zhu'er sighed and said, "What did the master agree to marry the eldest grandma at that time, making him feel uncomfortable now."

Pei Zhen said melancholy, "I can't help it. Immortals sometimes feel unsatisfactory. It's so easy to get off after boarding a pirate ship. Marrying Sister Su is just to reassure King Yan. A man should put his great career first."

"Then why don't you live a good life with the eldest grandma and get married." Zhu'er muttered.

It's not easy for Pei Zhen to explain clearly to him for the time being, so she could only say bitterly, "I can't do it when I see her, maybe I'm sick."

Zhu'er became interested in exploring, and hurriedly said, "What if King Yan knows that Grandpa doesn't have sex with Grandma?"

Pei Zhen spat, "He asked me to marry him so he did, and he didn't care if I slept with her or not! It's not his daughter, why is he so caring?"

Zhu'er only found out that the old man didn't touch the old lady after they had a fight a few days ago, and felt sorry for the old lady. The old man's temperament is unpredictable, why bother to marry as a decoration, and let the old lady give birth to a child Don't you just have one heart?

"Are you going to go back on your word now?" Zhuer asked, "Didn't it go well a few years ago?"

"I'm also human, so why can't I have love! Marrying an empty shell, is it possible to live like this for the rest of my life?" Pei Zhen straightened his clothes and said slowly, "There will always be a break."

Zhu'er shrank his neck and said, "Master, if you marry Miss Chun now, will it be okay?"

Pei Zhen raised his eyes and shouted, "You're a genius, how dare you make fun of me! What are you still doing here? Have you done what you've been told?"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the helper ran away. Pei Zhen stood alone on the porch and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky. She secretly made up her mind that in this world, the most important thing is to protect her family.It doesn't matter if Su Qing manipulates him in the name of King Yan, but in the future, Xiao Qian will be left with a dog's life. Sending her back to him is also worthy of the scheming she has spent on him every day for the past five years.

Turning around and going back to the side hall, Zhang Yuzhu couldn't know what to talk about, so he laughed happily. Pei Zhen sat down and said, "But is there anything interesting?"

Zhang Yu hesitated and said, "It's not a funny thing, let's talk about some low-level jokes, and it will definitely dirty Mr.'s ears."

Pei Zhen said with a smile, "Then I'll tell you something too, let's laugh."

Zhang Yu stroked his palm and said, "Very good."

Pei Zhen took a sip of wine and said, "Once upon a time, there was a family who married a girl and went to a foreign country. After returning to Ning in three days, her mother asked: Are the hometowns the same?" The girl replied: Only the pillows are different. My hometown is on the head. On one side, on the other side is used in the waist." Both of them burst into laughter, Zhu Neng said, "I only knew that Lord Mingyue was able to make a plan, but I didn't know that even the dirty jokes were so good!"

Pei Zhen laughed and said, "Cover up for me anyway, don't spread the word and ruin my reputation for the rest of my life."

Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhang Yu said solemnly, "After a while, it's better to pass the letter by flying pigeons. Since the soldiers don't move, the prince should go to the sky. I'm about to die, and if my son is not here, I will always give someone a blame. "

Pei Zhen caressed Guang Guang's chin, his eyes were cold, and he said, "When Gao Zu dies, after the first seven days, His Highness King Yan should go crazy."

〇[-] If you are not a friend, you are an enemy

Sending Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng to Dayan Lane, Uncle Zhen was in a good mood today and decided to go to the Golden Key Hall to visit Grandma Zhen who had been banned by him.

In fact, Grandma Zhen lacked nothing but a husband, and her life was very comfortable and leisurely.When Pei Zhen entered the Luohuachuimen, she was sitting on the porch teasing parrots, holding a peach heart bun and a three-inch golden lotus. Standing behind her was a girl with a smile on her lips.It was originally a picture of a beauty, but she didn't want her to glance at Pei Zhen, and immediately stretched her pretty face three feet. On the other hand, Master Zhen probably bothered her too, so he snorted coldly.Zhu'er groaned in his heart, it really is a resentment to his spouse, that's what happens when you look at each other and hate each other.

"People are coming from Peiping, do you know?" Pei Zhen said with his hands behind his back, and sent out the assistant and maid.

Sister Su squinted at him and said, "I'm grounded now, how do I know what's going on outside. What are you doing here? But you're going to rest here again tonight?"

Pei Zhen turned around the fence, sat down on the round stool, and said calmly, "Those two went to Dayan Lane, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back tonight, so I ran here to show someone."

Sister Su's nose was sore, and she felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. Even if she was wronged, she had nowhere to complain. She would never be with him in this life.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Zhen said again, "I haven't thanked you for going back to Lixuezhai to hire someone for me. Grandma is really big-hearted, and she did everything well. She made me feel ashamed to see her again now. Now you Are you happy?"

Sister Su became angry when she heard this, threw the pick stick in her hand, and said angrily, "Did that vixen sue you? You came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime? What's wrong with me going to ask her, your sweetheart, precious meat, Are you willing to put it outside? If you are hooked up by someone, why don’t you, Mr. Zhen, jump to death! My good intentions turned into a donkey’s liver and lungs, and that little whore really has some tricks. I want to fight to see who wins! My life is over, how can I make it easier for you!"

Pei Zhen stood up and sneered, "Don't call her your dirty mouth, you're a whore and whore, you're still a lady of the editor's house, don't feel ashamed and panic, don't you want to save face!"

Sister Su snorted, "The lining is gone, what more need to save face!"

Pei Zhen made a gesture of comprehension, and said meanly, "I didn't know that you would think so. You took the title of Grandma Zhen for nothing. We have never even had sex. What reason do you have to fight her? If it were you, you would have found a place to hide your face a long time ago, and you wouldn't have the nerve to leave the garden."

Sister Su was so angry that she trembled and said with trembling fingers, "You... did you come here specially to quarrel with me?"

Pei Zhen saw that her face was as pale as a ghost, so she swallowed the worse words, thinking that it would be bad if she died of anger. Outsiders said that it would be good for Master Zhen to force his wife down!
Sister Su waited for a long time before saying, "It was not what I wanted to marry you back then. Why don't you squeeze me like this? Poor and lowly couples can still support each other, let alone people like us."

Pei Zhen said in a deep voice, "I intercepted the letter from the flying pigeon on your wedding night, and that pigeon also made the kitchen stew! If you don't get close to you, I'll see how you can trick me! To be honest , I also pity you, since your Xiao Lang has love and righteousness with you, how can he sit and watch you marry me, not afraid that I will make a fake show for real?"

It was hot summer, but Sister Su broke out in a cold sweat from fright, she swayed twice and sat down in the chair, her face paled, and she muttered, "Did you already know?"

Pei Zhen didn't care much, and said with a smile, "How could King Yan send you after so many choices! You obviously belong to King Yan, but in fact, the real master is King Ning. If you want to take advantage of the consummation of the house to put a gu on me, that's right." no?"

Sister Su said desperately, "Since you know, why didn't you kill me!"

Pei Zhen blinked his eyes and said, "I'm going to use you to restrain Xiao Qian. Don't worry, no one knows about it. It's not easy to live in troubled times. If you are left behind, it's okay if King Ning's rebellion succeeds." My way of life."

Sister Su said disheartened, "You are only now showing your cards with me, but for Liu Wuwang?"

Pei Zhen was absent-minded for a moment, and said in a low voice, "She's a hardy person, I just hope you don't attack her."

Sister Su started to giggle, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, and she burst into tears.Pei Zhen squinted at her, her face gradually turned frosty.

Sister Su stopped laughing with great difficulty, and raised her voice, "Is her life miserable? She will no longer suffer after having you, Master Zhen. I am the one who suffers! I wanted to be a real husband and wife with you." , I don’t think you’re just using me!”

Pei Zhen shook his head and said, "What's the use of saying that now, you and I are masters, we are either friends or enemies."

Just as Sister Su was about to speak, she suddenly heard someone calling her cousin from outside the parapet. Pei Zhen, who was still planning a strategy just now, turned green and turned around. It was indeed Qi Danyu, the cousin of her uncle's family.

Pei Zhen smiled strangely, her face trembling like a banished fairy.

That Danyu was wearing a crimson Lan skirt, with rouge on her cheeks, like a monkey in clothes, running towards Pei Zhen alive and kicking, she was quite polite when she saw Miss Su, she bent her legs and said, "Sister-in-law Please."

Because of the close distance, when she raised her head, there were lines on her bull's eyes. Sister Su took a step back in fright, stabilized herself, and then smiled, "Why is Cousin so free to play in the garden today? Have you ever seen a girl?" Is it your wife?"

That Danyu has always disdained Sister Su, so she hastily replied, "I saw it just now."

Pei Zhen asked, "Are uncle and aunt here?"

Danyu said coyly, "My mother is here, and she is talking with my aunt in the pavilion right now."

Pei Zhen nodded, and hurriedly said to Sister Su, "Let's go too, Auntie finally came here."

Sister Su agreed, but Pei Zhen had no choice but to support her because of her bound feet. Danyu originally had a pair of heavenly feet, but seeing Sister Su's delicate appearance made her even more despised. What kind of charming girl, Bao Si, and Daji have all come out, I just wish I could Pushing her away like a prisoner being escorted.

In front of the gazebo, seeing Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Pei doing household chores, Pei Zhen handed Miss Su to the little girl, bowed and said, "Auntie is here."

Sister Su was also blessed. Fu Qiang said with a smile, "Greetings to Auntie. Auntie is here, and Madam is always talking about you. Now that I am here, I must stay with my sister for a few more days before leaving."

Mrs. Pei also laughed and said, "No, there were few relatives in the first place, but now there are only your aunts and uncles and cousins. The relatives on the master's side are all in Yingtian, and they haven't seen each other for a long time. We need to move around more. .”

Mrs. Gao laughed and said, "It's rare that my aunt doesn't dislike our poor relatives. Your brother is too ashamed to come to see you because of the absurdity of the past, for fear that people will say that he has come to fight the autumn wind again and make a scene."

Mrs. Pei heard Gao's voice, and took a sip of tea. Although she was a little displeased, she still smiled, and slowly said, "Whatever my sister-in-law says, my family doesn't dislike anything, even the neighbors don't like it." It's time to help, not to mention my own brother! I asked Grandma to prepare some later, and it was my heart to bring them home."

Gao said, "Don't be afraid of the jokes of my aunt and nephew and daughter-in-law. Our family is facing a famine, and the rent has been confiscated. Last month, your brother fell ill again. You can do everything you can in the family. There is really no way. Now Yu My sister has reached the end of her life, so it's time for someone else to marry her. She has high eyesight and low abilities, and she is generally looked down upon. This time, she wants to ask my aunt to be the master, saying that the family is good, and those who know the basics can enjoy good fortune for the rest of their lives. "

Pei Zhen's eyelids twitched a few times, and she looked at Sister Su. She lowered her eyes, and the old monk fell into samadhi, and then looked at his mother in shock. The old lady is a Maitreya Buddha, smiling all day long Three years ago, when Danyu was only 12 years old, Mrs. Gao had this intention. In the future, Mrs. Pei was noncommittal when she wanted to get married again.
"Let's leave this matter to Brother Lan. There must be a scholar in the county school who has a good family background and good character. If you are sure, tell his sister about it." The old lady finally spoke, "Our ancestors were all scholars, Sister Yu My son must not marry at a low price, and I wanted to ask Brother Zhen to find him, but I thought about it carefully. A businessman is a philistine, or a literati, who is gentle and respectful. If he is admitted to the Imperial College in a few years, wouldn’t he be on the way up."

Pei Zhen lowered her head to study the upper of her shoe. It was embroidered with blessing patterns and rolled with black satin. It turned out to be so beautiful...

When Mrs. Gao responded repeatedly, Danyu was not happy on her face, she just pretended not to see it, of course it is good for a talented person to marry someone, and she didn't want her daughter to be a concubine, Madam Pei said so, she naturally wished for it.

Just as she was talking, Sister Su sat up for some reason, sweat dripped down like rain, and people began to sway, Mrs. Pei was startled, and got up to look at her, she didn't say a word, people Then he collapsed limply in the arms of the maidservant.There was a sudden commotion in the gazebo, and Mrs. Pei yelled, "Brother Zhen, what's wrong with your wife!"

Pei Zhen got the pulse, and knew that it was the illness caused by the anxiety and fright before, and it was hard to say, so she said, "It's too hot, I've got heatstroke, I'll take her back to the garden first." As he said, he picked up Miss Su I went to the Key Hall.

Mrs. Gao resentfully said, "How do you say that, she just fainted when Sister Yu's marriage was mentioned."

Mrs. Pei broke the siege and said, "It's common for children to be careless about their health. It has nothing to do with Sister Yu's marriage. Sister-in-law, don't worry too much." Well, I don't know why, Bodhisattva bless you, if you quarrel this time, it will be fine in the future, and it will be even better if you can add a kid, the older one in the second room is three years old, and now she is pregnant again One, Brother Lan's concubine, that is, the one named Mei Zi, the former son also has a happy pulse, but in Brother Zhen's courtyard, the population is small, there is no movement at all, but it worries me to death."

Mrs. Gao looked around and said in a low voice, "I think it's the grandmother's fault, she's too severe, and her children and grandchildren are too frightened to come. Have you ever taken medicine and prayed to Buddha?"

Mrs. Pei said, "After taking dozens of doses of medicine, the mud cow fell into the sea. I knelt in front of the Bodhisattva every day and burned incense and prayed, but there was no news at all."

Contempt appeared on Gao's face, he helped the hairpin on the bun, and said sharply, "It's still necessary to take concubines, it's decent to open branches and leaves, and if a woman doesn't have children, wouldn't she be a woman who doesn't lay eggs?" Chicken?"

Mrs. Pei is very keen on finding a wife for her son. Since the family is big and the business is big, the most important thing is to have a prosperous population. If you have more wives, you will have more grandchildren. This is an eternal truth.He asked again, "Last time you said you were going to tell Brother Zhen about your concubine, how are you doing now?"

Mrs. Gao shook her head and sighed, "That girl was so angry that she said she was an aunt, so she called her aunt back the next day. Auntie, you haven't seen her. You can't find another one in Duoyi with such a complete appearance. It's just that brother Zhen has no fate with her."

Mrs. Pei felt quite regretful when she heard what she said, and she was so sad that she couldn't speak.

At this time, Danyu, who was sitting on the stone stool, couldn't sit still anymore, and interjected, "Sister Chun and her uncle opened a pastry shop on the street, and the business is pretty good. I want to visit her tomorrow." Well, I just don't know where."

Mrs. Pei smiled, "Ask your elder brother to take you there, he knows all the shops on this street."

Danyu was overjoyed, at this moment Miss Rong from Pei Lang's family came and dragged her to put a boat in the pond, it happened that she also wanted to see if the water chestnut was ripe, so she happily followed.

Sister Su's illness came on urgently and fiercely this time, so Pei Zhen asked someone to invite the doctor from the village, prescribed a prescription, grabbed a dozen or so medicines, asked the girl to fry them and feed her to drink, and when everything was settled Now, she said to Sister Su's personal eldest girl, "Take care of your grandma carefully, come and find me if you need anything, I'm in Tao Ranxie, if you're not here, ask your assistant, I don't need him to serve you these few days."

Xi'er blessed and said, "Please come and visit our grandma when you have time, grandma is looking forward to your uncle every day."

Pei Zhen snorted secretly, Xin Daosu's sister is really good at plotting against him day and night, but even the girls around her don't know her danger!Last year he was ordered to go to Beijing, and went to Jianmen Pass to kill a group of people. One arrow almost cost him half his life. Now, every time the weather changes, his heart hurts. This kind of hatred will never be forgotten. I wanted to go back to King Yan, but I also thought that she had lived in this family for five years. If there was anything else to say, it would be humane to let her live. It's all ruined.

Seeing that Master Zhen didn't speak, Xi'er cried, and gasped, "Master, you don't know our grandma's suffering. Grandma hides in the bed and cries every time. It's so hard to look forward to Grandpa's arrival. Grandpa has a displeased look on his face again." Yes, our grandma's heart was pierced with a bloody hole. I combed grandma's hair the other day and found a white hair. I didn't dare to let grandma see it. I hid it secretly. We slaves love grandma dearly. Grandpa is the person next to grandma's pillow, how come..."

Seeing that she didn't dare to continue, Pei Zhen added, "Why are you not as good as slaves?"

Xi'er hung her neck and didn't refute, Pei Zhen sighed, "You are loyal, but you don't know about the masters, and you shouldn't know, just serve with all your heart, work more and talk less, so that you can stay in the garden for a long time , When you are old enough to be released and be matched with a good family, how wonderful! Why bother to meddle in the master's business."

After Pei Zhen gave Xi'er a profound ideological education, she straightened her girdle and swaggered away, leaving only the pure little girl crying her heart out outside.

After leaving the Golden Key Hall, Pei Zhen planned to go back to his own yard directly. When passing by Bibotan, the eldest sister Rong of Pei Lan's family saw him and said respectfully, "Uncle."

Pei Zhen nodded, saw a row of paper-made boats by the lake, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Afraid of his scolding, Sister Rong shrank back, looked at Danyu pitifully, Danyu hurriedly said, "I said I brought Sister Rong to play on the boat, and Sister Rong said she wanted to see the water chestnut."

Pei Zhen frowned and said, "Play carefully by the water, and ask a few more people to follow."

Sister Rong said yes, Danyu saw that Pei Zhen was about to leave, so she hurried up and asked curiously, "Is cousin better?"

"It's okay, just sleep for two days." Pei Zhen said, "Go back to your second brother's place to see your second sister-in-law. She is about to give birth and can't leave the room."

Danyu agreed, and said again, "Tomorrow I'm going to see Mr. Chun, and my aunt told you to send me there."

When Pei Zhen heard this, she felt very happy. She hadn't seen her in the past few days, and she was worried that she couldn't find a way to find her. When Danyu came, she solved the problem, so she said with a smile, "That's natural." Yes, my sister seldom comes to the city, and I don’t know her well on the street, why should I, as an older brother, rest assured to ask you to go out alone, and ask someone to prepare a car tomorrow, and I will take you for a stroll.”

Dan Yu's face was flushed with joy, Pei Zhen looked at it for a while, and then asked again, "How are you and Mr. Chun?"

Danyu said honestly, "It's not even close. I embroidered flowers with her for a few days before, but then I got impatient, so I stopped learning, and gradually became estranged. I really like her, but she is cold-tempered and doesn't like her very much." Just take care of me."

Pei Zhen thought to herself, if I were her, I wouldn't like to talk to you. If you learned a little from her, you wouldn't have to rush to find someone to find a husband's family for you.But since I have stayed in one place before, I must be able to say a few words.He said again, "My good sister, brother has a favor to ask you to help."

Danyu blinked her eyes and said, "Say it."

Pei Zhen thought for a while and said, "Go to her and say something nice to me. A few days ago, your sister-in-law came to her and offended her. I'm ashamed to see her now, so just tell me what I said. If she After passing through the door, you will be the serious grandma of the master, the eldest grandma is just a decoration, so don't pay attention to it."

Danyu's reaction can be said to be dumbfounded. She opened her mouth wide and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly covered her face and started to cry, saying, "Don't you know my heart? You even asked me to tie you up. It doesn't make sense with you like this." Is it!"

Pei Zhen was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat, she hurriedly comforted her, "You idiot, even if she passes through the door, she is still an aunt. How could she be as good as what she said? Didn't she be coaxed to come here first! As for you, I definitely can't Do that kind of thing that is worse than a beast! You are my aunt and sister, just like a kiss, so naturally I want to find a good man to be my first wife. I feel wronged that you live under the hands of Sister Su, and you are beaten and scolded by her every day. Can't bear it."

Only then did Danyu stop crying, thinking about it made some sense, and said, "Then let me give it a try, it depends on luck."

Pei Zhen clasped his hands together and bowed to her, "If this is done, you will be my own sister. When you leave the court in the future, my brother will definitely give you a dowry."

Danyu is also smart, since she can't get married, it would be good to get some dowry, so she nodded slightly like Shi En, and took Sister Rong to watch the young servant pick water chestnuts.

Pei Zhen went back to the Chrysanthemum Garden and asked the servant girl to light incense and smoke the clean clothes before changing into them. Then she sat down to read some books. When the assistant came back from her errand, she raised her hands and said, "Master Zhang, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang." Master Zhu has settled everything, and he will definitely not be coming back tonight, so I told you not to wait."

Pei Zhen hummed, and the assistant said again, "Two people came to Fenglou in the middle of the afternoon today. They looked like the nephew of the third aunt's nephew who was the nephew of Wu Yuanwai at the front door. Manager Qu led someone to beat him up, but now he doesn't agree, he's making trouble."

Pei Zhen didn't even raise her head, and said directly, "Whoever he is, he was tied up and sent to the officials, and the broken tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks were asked to be compensated as they were. This trivial matter still bothers me!"

Assistant shut up and stood by.His uncle changed into a stone-blue cotton gauze dress today, leaning on the bamboo pillow on the Arhat bed, with a few strands of satin-like hair hanging on his chest, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were bright red, no matter how you look at it, he is a beauty. ... Zhu'er was intoxicated.

"What are you looking at?" The red lips parted slightly and asked.

Zhu'er said sincerely, "Master is so pretty."

Pei Zhen raised her eyes and said expressionlessly, "Do you think you have two eyeballs too many?"

Zhu'er bowed her head in fright, Pei Zhen didn't say anything, just read the book quietly.After a while, when it was almost time to light the lamps, a servant outside announced, "Master Lan is here."

Pei Ling went into the room, not as cautious as outside, and sat down on the south official's hat chair with a bad complexion. She glanced at Pei Zhen and said, "What about my boy? It's so serious that he must be put to death, he has been with me for a while, and he is conscientious, I really can't bear to see him beheaded."

Pei Zhenbai glanced at him and said, "Who told you that you don't set the rules on weekdays, you will only know when something happens! Relying on the dignity of the master, you will fall outside and call you master. This kind of slave should be handed over to the bereaved family. Follow me, You just take out some money and send it to someone, and don’t worry about the rest.”

Pei Ling is very defensive, after hearing Pei Zhen's idea, she seemed to want him to be a villainous person, she was about to jump up with a pale face, and shouted, "It's a dog. After seven or eight years, if Zhuer beat someone to death, what would you say!"

Zhu'er also wanted to know the answer, and looked at Pei Zhen eagerly. Uncle Zhen gave him a sideways glance and said, "If Zhu'er is, I'll kill him first and put his head on the funeral table."

Second Master Lan and Zhu'er are like defeated roosters, and Zhu'er's heart is cold to the heels, thinking that such a master is unreasonable, and it is better to have a future with Second Master Lan.

Pei Lang said resentfully, "I don't want to see him beheaded in autumn, I'd better ask big brother to think of a way."

Seeing him like that, Pei Zhen was terribly annoyed, and scolded, "It's a good thing they didn't accuse you of slavery and murder, what else do you want!"

Pei Lan said, "I wasn't there when he beat someone to death, why did he arrange for me?"

Pei Zhen snorted coldly, "The slave is guilty, the master is going to sit on the table, don't you know?"

Although Pei Lang wanted to save the boy, he didn't want to bring the lawsuit to him, so he said, "It seems that I can't, I just need to help his old lady more in the future."

Seeing that he was almost terrified, Pei Zhen said, "Let's see how good he is. If he didn't make a decision, he would be able to come back with his life after another three or five days."

Pei Lang hurriedly asked, "How do you say that?"

Pei Zhen flipped through the book and said leisurely, "The old emperor is dead, and the new emperor ascends the throne, won't he pardon the world?"

Pei Lang woke up like a dream at this moment, and said with a smile, "Big Brother is still the best. I have been thinking about it for the past few days, but I can't do anything. Sure enough, one word awakened the dreamer, but when will the great grandfather die?"

"My two friends who came from heaven said that it's only three or five days left, but even if your boy is pardoned, he should give more money to the bereaved family. He is like this, and he was punished by your apprentice just after he came out. Diao Nu stepped on his waist and died, how will he live in the future?" Pei Zhen changed the book again, and when he got bored, he put on his shoes and stood on the ground to point out the country, "Call that little servant three Kneel down nine times to recognize parents, and in the future, he will have to give those two old pensioners the end of his life, and his karma in this life will be counted."

Pei Lang teased, "I recognized you when you were wearing crotch pants. I never thought you were a good person. Why have you changed your temper now?"

Zhu'er said, "Second master doesn't know yet, the good deeds that our uncle has done recently have gone a long way, he is healing people, giving plaques to people, and he doesn't know where it came out of." Your kid found a way to survive, are you surprised?"

As expected, Second Master Lang heard the big news. He was surprised for a long time, turned his head and thought for a while, and said, "I know about that plaque, but the Lixue restaurant on Cross Street? I've seen the girl in it too, it can be said that I was shocked." Heaven and man, could it be that big brother is aiming at the pastry Xishi?"

Pei Zhen smiled and said nothing, and helped her son to clear up her doubts, "The girl was originally proposed by my uncle and grandma, but because she thought she was a concubine, she kept refusing to agree. Our uncle has put in so much effort, but it still hasn't worked out. Two days ago, Grandma got the letter and went to Lixue Zhai to make a fuss, and I'm afraid things will go wrong with Grandpa."

Pei Lang shook her head and said, "This matter is difficult to handle. Since the eldest sister-in-law is like this, you have no choice but to buy another house and land outside, and treat her as an ordinary wife."

Pei Zhen said, "Let me think about this matter a little longer. I definitely can't be hasty. Tomorrow, Danyu will go and see her, and let's talk about it."

〇[-] Depei family heirloom

The next day Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng came back in a flurry, and their eyes were black and blue, probably because of overwork last night.Pei Zhen greeted them outside the gate, presented him with two bags of dry food and two thousand-mile horses, and after saying goodbye to him, they jumped on the horses, whipped the horses and headed straight to Yingtian.

Standing under the eaves, Pei Zhen folded her hands and squinted her eyes to look into the distance. Why is that jade shaking, won't it fall off?It's really hard work, traveling thousands of miles a day, and still can't sleep peacefully at night, it's strange that these two people are sallow and emaciated, doing evil and evil!
The assistant was crying and wringing his fingers and said, "These two people! They drank 180 taels of silver in the flower wine! It's not that I don't care about my money, I just asked someone to carry the silver in, it's such a big pile! My heart..."

Pei Zhen spat and said, "Kong has grown a head! Is there only cash in the account room? Where are the bank notes? Just take two. I'm stupid and have the face to say it!"

Seeing that the sun has risen quite high, I looked into the gate of the house, only saw the servant girls walking back and forth, thinking that this Danyu must have fallen asleep, what time did he not wake up!Seeing that Zhu'er was still deep in thought, he curled his lips and said, "You call Laiwang to prepare the car, and wait at the corner gate, then see if Miss Qi is up, and watch me back and forth." No, I'm afraid that if she says something bad, it will mess up the matter, and I have to rely on myself in an emergency.

Pei Lang adjusted her clothes and came out of the gate. She was taken aback when she saw Pei Zhen outside the door. "Big brother, is he going out? It's sunburnt under the sun."

Pei Zhen said, "My wife told me to take Danyu out for a stroll, and I'm waiting for her."

Pei Lang helped the square scarf on his head and sneered, "What's the big bug worth? It's worth waiting like this! Why don't you go back to your room and wait, it won't work."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "Go, those students are still waiting, don't miss the hour."

It's funny to say that a person like Pei Lan is actually a teacher in the county school. He has seventeen or eighteen candidates who were selected this year. But he is unrestrained, with several wives, big and small!Pei Zhen sometimes sighs, after all, the two brothers are very similar in most places, but he is more picky about women.

Pei Ling cupped her hands, quickly got up on the chair, and pondered again, "My wife asked me to tell Danyu about her family, where did I come from? Her looks, will my in-laws blame me when they see her in the future? Why should I bother?" Doing such a shameless thing has killed a good scholar! Please pay attention to her, I am going to school."

The ball was kicked back and forth, and finally it came to him!My own affairs have yet to be resolved, so I don't have time to worry about other things!Pei Zhen waved him to go in annoyance, and walked back to Tao Ranxie by herself.

Qi Danyu finally got dressed and was able to go out. He saw a carriage parked at the gate, only the roof had no enclosure, and the four corners were supported by pillars carved with chicken wing wood, which looked like Qin Shihuang's dragon chariot.

Dan Yu felt sorry for him, and asked Pei Zhen, "Big brother, you won't be beheaded in this car, right?"

"There is neither a dragon pattern nor a black and red color. How can you break a taboo? If you are afraid, then sit in the oil tent." Pei Zhen said, thinking to himself, it is absolutely impossible to ask someone to carry you in a bamboo sedan chair , how many bearers do you have to bring?It is better to take a horse-drawn carriage.

Danyu waved her hands again and again and said, "No need." The little girl helped her into the car, and seeing Pei Zhen jumping on a tall black and shiny horse, she asked strangely, "Don't you take the car?"

The corners of Pei Zhen's mouth twitched a few times, and he said with a smile, "I don't like to ride in a carriage." Holding up his oil paper umbrella again, the group of people slowly walked towards Li Xuezhai.

From a distance, I saw the girl in Lixue Zhai chatting with the customers, her face was as bright as spring and snowy, and she smiled sweetly, indescribably mellow and soft.Pei Zhen pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous in her heart. Such a person who looks like a jade carving is really tangled up. She can't be distant or close. If she can just grit her teeth and accuse her family of crimes, she will naturally belong to him. There are many ways to do it. That's right, I just can't bear to do it.

Don't expect to stand still on the threshold when sending the guests out, isn't that the uncle Zhen who has been running away for several days?Since being carried back by the servant that day, I haven't been here for six or seven days, so what are you doing today!Gu Wang was a little angry, but also faintly happy, and he straightened his face and gave him a blessing, and said, "Mr. Pei is here."

Pei Zhen got off her horse and returned the gift before she was about to speak. Dan Yu threw off the maid and rushed towards Wuwang like a butterfly.

"Chun-jun, how are you?"

Wu Wang nodded and smiled lightly, "Are you coming to the city today? Is your mother here?"

Danyu said, "I came here yesterday, I stayed at the elder brother's house overnight, and I came here specially to see you today."

Wu Wang led them in, poured tea, took two plates of snacks, and said, "I don't have any hospitality here, only these, I'm neglecting you."

Pei Zhen looked at her carefully, with a tired look on his face, and asked, "Are you tired these days? If you're too busy, why don't you hire someone."

Wu Wang said, "I was busy a few days ago, but now that it's so hot today, the business is much lighter. Only when the sun is not up, there are customers, and I will be free later."

The waxy and soft voice poured into Pei Zhen's heart like a clear spring. He lowered his head calmly, his heart throbbing, and he didn't think it was funny. People in their 20s still look like kids, so they were at a loss.

Danyu looked around and saw that the store was well-decorated and spotlessly clean. The cakes on the table were small and exquisite, so she took them out and tasted them slowly, praising, "It's really delicious, you made it?"

Wuwang arranged the jujube paste cakes that were messed up by the guests just now, and replied, "My aunt made it, I just helped."

Danyu looked left and right, did not see Liu Hong and his wife, and asked, "Where's your uncle and aunt?"

Wuwang sat down and said, "How can three people rely on one store? The business is slow now. My uncle has gone out to work as a bookkeeper. My aunt sent snacks to Defenglou early in the morning, and set up a shed at the base of the city wall to sell herbal tea and Chai Pan Wonton, I only do the morning market, come back at noon to see what dim sum is missing, and then make some more, and there is nothing to do in the afternoon.”

Danyu thought, it's so hard!If it was her mother, she would rather have a famine and fight autumn winds everywhere than earn such a life-saving money.

Seeing Danyu's expression, Wu Wang smiled and said, "We poor people, what's the point of this idea!"

Danyu blurted out, "Why do you have to suffer, marrying my elder brother means you can live comfortably!"

These words startled the two of them. Pei Zhen had a headache. She had known for a long time that she was unreliable. It would only be embarrassing to say it directly in front of him. Shouldn't private conversations between girls be hidden in the room? of it!

Danyu finally realized that she had picked the wrong timing, and she felt sleepy for a while.

Wu Wang didn't take her words to heart, stood up, brought his sleeves to refill tea for the two of them, his wrists were slender, and the meridians under the flesh could be seen clearly, Danyu choked again, thinking, no wonder the elder brother Even I think it's good to get confused.

Wu Wang said, "Take a seat, both of you, I'll go in and have a look at the steamed cherry cake on the cage."

Danyu wanted to chase after him, but was secretly held back by Pei Zhen. Just as he was wondering, Uncle Zhen said gently, "Let me move the cage for you."

It stands to reason that it is not good for a girl who has not been out of the court to be alone with a man. It is hoped that although her family suffered a disaster when she was young, she grew up in the countryside, and now she is out in public and doing business in a shop, but she still understands these rules, so she hurriedly declined, "No Please trouble young master, the cage is not very heavy, I can do it by myself."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "It's nothing more than a little effort, girl, don't be polite." Then he went straight to the room.

Wu Wang sighed and had no choice but to follow in.

He lifted the lid of the cage, tried it with chopsticks, and it was almost cooked through, so he went to the stove and extinguished the fire in the chamber, and after a while, he could come out of the cage.

Pei Zhen was a little awkward on the side, and said, "The bitch offended the girl that day, so Pei made an apology to the girl, just please don't annoy me, otherwise Landu will be wronged even if he dies."

When mentioning that day, Wu Wang was really angry and said, "Young Master Pei is kind to Chunjun's family. Grandma may have misunderstood it. That day was fine. It's okay. I shouldn't see you today, but I'm afraid that the melon field and plum will be lost, but I'm the only one in the shop, and it's not easy to close the shop, and Danyu is here, so it's not easy to be rude..."

"Chun Jun," Pei Zhen said with a slight smile, "Are you still annoyed with me? Calm down, I was not feeling well a few days ago, and I didn't care about it. I just remembered that Brother Pei's letter is in my house yesterday." Come on, it's brought to you now."

It was really a strong medicine, the hopeless resentment dissipated, and he sat on the sidelines holding Depei's letter and looked at it.In the letter, I greeted my parents and sister, told me what I saw on the road and anecdotes in the army, and said that he was very good in Peiping, and that my master and superiors looked up to him, so I told my family not to worry about him.

Wang Wang was very comforted and grateful to Pei Zhen, saying, "Brother Pei is fine, it's all up to you to take care of him. He is still young, and he has never traveled far. This trip has traveled thousands of miles." Tears are shining.

"Don't do this, just read the letter and drop the golden beans, so what if I ask someone to let him come back next time." Pei Zhen said, pulling a sweat towel from his sleeve to wipe her tears, who knows a piece of silk? His handkerchief also fluttered down, with orchids and butterflies embroidered on it, it was the one that he had hoped not to make a mouse for him that day.Seeing Wuwang was surprised, he hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it back into the armhole, and said with a shy smile, "Young lady reward me."

Wang Wang was really blushing at this time, and said anxiously, "I forgot when you were drunk that day, so hurry up and pay me back."

Pei Zhen didn't panic, and said calmly, "If you give it to me, it's mine. There's no reason to take it back! If you want it, then I'll give you my sweat towel, and it's okay to change it."

Wu Wang's pretty face was blushing, biting her lip, not knowing what to do.There are already people spreading rumors outside, and now that the veil is given to him, he can't tell clearly even if he has a long mouth all over his body!

Seeing her little daughter-in-law being wronged, Pei Zhen laughed three times in her heart, pretended to lift the lid of the cage to look inside, and said, "Can you get out of the cage? You can get the cake out, and I'll move the cage. "

I couldn't help but stomped my feet and turned around to bring a tray, soaked the sackcloth and spread it on top, and then stacked the cherry cakes piece by piece. My heart was agitated, and I said to Pei Zhen, "If you don't pay me back, I will pay you back." I can't do anything about you, I just ask you not to take it out where there are many people, even if I have taken care of me."

Pei Zhenwei was a little annoyed, but on second thought, the girl's skin is thin, and she gave away all the handkerchiefs, so she didn't care about others.He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I'm always busy these days, have you ever looked forward to me?"

It was clear that the words were teasing, but his face was serious, don't think he heard it wrong, looked at him stupidly and said, "Mr. Pei, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are you talking in your sleep so early in the morning!"

Pei Zhen froze, unable to speak for a while.

〇Twenty-Three Hardship Meets Six Sons

Uncle Zhen averted his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Has Mr. Ji been here these days?"

Wuwang knew that he was asking about the regulations, so he said, "I came here once, I went to the grain and oil store to sign the contract, and I said I would thank you, the young master is our great nobleman, and he has helped us so much."

Pei Zhen's face was as heavy as water, and he said in a muffled voice, "Why do you thank me for helping him? You and him have become 'us'!"

Don Wang was choked up by his ridicule. Seeing his unfriendly expression, he lowered his head and stopped talking. Pei Zhen got angrier and said with his hands down, "I don't want you to thank me. You know my intentions. Why bother to care about me like this?" From left to right, he seems hypocritical."

This person is really unreasonable, he wants to ask a teacher for his crimes as soon as he comes!Wu Wang pulled his face and said, "I don't know what you mean, and I don't dare to know. If the young master sees that we are attracted to each other, then he will move around more. If you are bored and bored, then it's fine if you don't come!"

Uncle Zhen has never been so angry, but he couldn't slam the table and throw the chairs, so his face turned blue, and he said anxiously, "I'm tired of it, I'm just complaining for my passion. Look at the regulations. Is it better than me? Where is it better? Teach me to know, so I can be more diligent.”

Wuwang took a step back and blessed Fudao, "Mr. Pei's words, Mr. Chun dare not accept. You are blessed, how can you condescend to be compared with us? As for Brother Zhang, I have lived with him in the same village for the past few years. Here, we are familiar with each other, like brothers and sisters, if we talk about marriage, it depends on good fortune, if there is, there will be, if there is no, then there will be, and I will not force, the young master is a person who has experienced it, so he should have enlightened."

Pei Zhen saw that she didn't keep any sympathy in what she said, and her heart was filled with sadness, and she said in a daze, "Do you still have thorns in your heart? I know you have a very strong temper. I only hate that I met too late. If I met you sooner For a few years, without Su Qing, it is not like this now."

Wuwang sighed and said, "This is helpless. If you want to marry a concubine, just look for it outside. Why bother with me? I am cold-hearted. I don't have to refute Master Zhen's face. That's mine. guilt."

Pei Zhen leaned against the wall dejectedly, and murmured, "As long as there are other ways, I won't bother you, I'm weak, I just take a scoop to drink my ears..."

Don't expect pain in your heart, look at him like that, how can he still have the prestige of the past!Intercession hurts the most. With Mr. Pei's appearance like this, I can only comfort him with nice words, "Mr. Chun is a high climber, and it is good to recognize you as an elder brother. It is also a good thing to come and go frequently in the future."

Pei Zhen smiled wryly, "My sister is sitting outside. If you want to force me to death, just treat me as your elder brother and let me watch you marry and have children. My life is over."

Don't look panicked, and annoyed him that he was determined to the end, so he scolded, "Your grandma is also a beauty, why are you so lacking in heart? It really makes me look down on you!"

Now that Pei Zhen had no idea, she just said, "You don't know, she and I are not real husband and wife."

Wuwang only felt a bang in his head, and was stunned there in chaos.Since ancient times, there have only been fake relatives, and I have never heard of a fake couple. Could it be that he coaxed her and resorted to tricks to bring her into the garden.Thinking about it this way, he didn't take this matter to heart, and said casually, "Fake couples are also couples, and if you talk about it well, why did such a thing happen?"

Pei Zhen looked dejected, and said slowly, "You will understand in a while, I can't tell you clearly now, just wait for me, and if you are willing, I will definitely marry you home." After clenching his fists, he walked away without looking back.

As soon as he left, it was hoped that he couldn't hold on any longer, so he took a few steps back and fell on the bench, in a trance.It's a good meeting, it's clear that everyone is clean, but it seems like an ungrateful act, and I don't know what he thinks of her in private, he must blame her for being ungrateful. Even she herself is about to fall into it.

After waiting for half a day, when he arrived at the shop, there was no one there. His heart ached from chaos, so he buried his face in his elbows and leaned against the counter to doze off. After going through every word and laugh, the whole body was chilled by the thought, and his hands and feet were cold before he gave up.

After another half a day, I suddenly heard a rustling sound, looked up and saw a ragged girl standing in front of the door, about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a bun, with big eyes flashing, thin and bony, Wringing his hands helplessly, he shivered in fright when he saw her or looked at her.

Wu Wang got up and wrapped a dozen pancakes in paper and put them in her hand, and asked, "Where are your family members? Are you alone?"

The girl said in a hoarse voice, "There was a plague in my hometown, and everyone died. Now I am the only one left. I came here to join my relatives, but my relatives do not recognize me, and they will not even let me in."

Seeing that she was really pitiful, Wuwang said, "Then you come in and drink some water, and you will get a fever under the hot sun."

After hearing this, the girl stepped into the house, wearing a pair of straw sandals, which caused blisters on her feet, she went to Wu Wang without sitting down, and knelt down for her, kowtowed and cried, " The girl is a Bodhisattva, she doesn't think I'm dirty, she even told me to come into the house, I went to beg in another house, and I poured a basin of dishwashing water on people before I opened my mouth, only the girl treats me well. I beg the girl to have mercy on me and let me stay Serve the girl."

Don't hope to support her quickly, why not, "We are a small family, where do we have someone to take care of us, but you come every day, I'll give you two cakes, I can't make up my mind about anything else."

The girl said again, "I don't want wages, as long as I have something to eat, I can do any kind of work, I beg the girl to take me in anyway, otherwise I will die on the street, rotten and smelly, and no one will care about me."

Don't look around, see how she thinks of her past like this, and dare not take such a big idea by herself, after all, her origin is unknown, if she is a fugitive servant or slave, it will hurt her family.

Seeing the hesitation on her face, the girl hurriedly hugged her leg and begged, "Good girl, I'm innocent. If you don't believe me, go to the government to investigate. I'm not an exiled prisoner or a thief with dirty hands and feet, sorry for that." I have a reason for begging the girl."

Wu Wang helped her up, helped her to the chair, and asked, "What are your difficulties, please tell me."

"Miss don't know," said the girl, "we beggars beg during the day and sleep in ruined temples outside the city at night, just because I am alone, those beggars bully me, and some hooligans even touch me The people next to me are like a joke, I really can’t live anymore, if I knew this, I might as well have gone with my parents and sisters, and I don’t have to leave this bad life to be ruined by others!”

Wu Wang thought to himself, is there anyone in this world who is more pitiful than her, she is loved by her uncle and aunt, but this girl is like a duckweed, living today without knowing what will happen tomorrow.So he wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said softly, "I'll take my old clothes and change them for you. After you wash up, wait for my uncle and aunt to come back. If they agree, I will go to the yamen to become a citizen tomorrow. That's all for now, okay?"

The girl was so happy that she wanted to kowtow again, she asked her to stop her, and said with a smile, "You just stay, we will not be masters and servants but sisters, you don't need to kowtow frequently." Back yard for bathing.After washing, he changed into clean clothes, shoes and socks, and combed two buns. The little beggar was actually a complete child, and his hands and feet were also very nimble. Sweeping the floor and cleaning the tables and chairs, I am busy.

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Don't be too busy, just come and eat something. What's your name?"

The girl said, "I'm a six, my family calls me Liu'er, and I don't have any proper names, please give me one."

Wu Wang said, "Since it was taken by my parents, it's not good to change it. Let's call it Liu'er."

The two laughed and chatted for a while, Mrs. Zhang came back pushing the cart, and when she entered the door, she said, "Is there any visitor?" Looking closely, she saw that the girl was wearing Sister Chun's old clothes, and said strangely, "Sister, what is this?" Which girl is it?"

Wu Wang took the guy in her hand and told the reason why, Zhang said angrily, "The gang of Huazi are too wicked, they can't even eat, and there are frivolous girls, they are so strange that they are despised. You can stay here, you can help me with the family work, and you can also be with Miss Chun. It's just a little older, if you are two or three years younger, you can match it with my brother Pei."

Wu Wang said, "My aunt thinks so far. Brother Pei is only nine years old, and I don't know when he will come back." After Liu'er greeted Mrs. Zhang, he took out Depei's family letter to show her, and Mrs. Zhang cried again. Laughing again, he spat out "Monkey boy".Liu'er twisted the veil to clean her face, and went to the back kitchen to light a fire and cook.

Mrs. Zhang just looked at it, put it away like a treasure, and said that he would show it to Liu Hong when he came back, and told him to like it, and asked, "But did Mr. Pei send it? Did he say anything to you?"

Don't want to think about it, there will be another burst of sadness. It's not good for Mrs. Zhang to see the difference, so she forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, just talking about homework, Danyu from the Qi family has also come, and I will go after sitting for a while."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, excitedly poured all the copper coins in the money bag on the table, counted them one by one, tied them up with hemp rope, and said with a smile, "Business is good today. I sold fifty bowls of wontons. Mr. Pei, the rascals on the street know that I belong to Li Xuezhai, so they bypass my stall for extorting money, which saves a lot, otherwise it would not be enough to give them all."

Wuwang said helplessly, "Even if the money is paid back to him, the love will not be over."

Mrs. Zhang didn't notice, and responded, "No! It's just that now I've also heard some rumors about you and him... Sigh, I'm afraid it will be difficult to talk about others in the future."

Wuwang doesn't care about these things, he only looks forward to the regulations in his heart.

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Did Brother Cheng come here today?"

Wu Wang shook his head and said, "I never came."

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "I set up a stall outside the city, and I saw him enter the city for several days, but I never came? I'm afraid he heard the rumor and felt uncomfortable."

Wu Wang also sighed, he couldn't explain anything if he didn't come, maybe he was busy recently and didn't have time to see her for a while.

Mrs. Zhang snorted and said, "I think you should have made a plan earlier. He is different now. He is the son of everyone. How can people like us value him? After all, we need to find someone who is of the right family, so we can call him a waist Be tougher, just wait and see, you must tell me the truth."

"Sure enough, this is also predestined. I have no matchmaker and no employment with him. If he wants to marry someone else, I can't help it. I can only live my own life." Wu Wang smiled, without any anxiety on his face.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "My children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I don't worry about that much." He patted the dust on his body and went to the inner room to make a face.

〇Twenty-four sickness into lovesickness
The soup from Defenglou was still delivered on a regular basis every day. Liu'er was curious, and raised his face and asked, "Girl, who brought it?"

Wu Wang kept his mouth shut, the person who delivered the soup probably hated her already.

Pei Mansion is in chaos at this time.The eldest grandma was so ill that she didn't know the personnel affairs. Uncle Zhen took Miss Qi out for a trip, came back to sleep all afternoon, and at dinner time, she had a fever, talked nonsense all night, and took medicine but did not get better. The madam cut off her life in a hurry.

"Could it be that you bumped into some shady person somewhere? Why did both of them become like this at once?" Pei Fu cried until his heart broke, screamed for a while, and finally thought of Danyu in the corner, and asked, "Girl Yu, how old are you?" Where did brother take you to play yesterday? Did you go to any unclean place?"

Danyu faltered and couldn't tell, her mother Gao stomped her feet anxiously, and shouted, "No riddles! Didn't you see that your elder brother became like this? Didn't you list the places to save your elder brother's life?" !"

Danyu knew that she couldn't hide it, so she had to be honest, "I didn't go anywhere yesterday, I only went to Chunjun's Lixuezhai, my eldest brother talked with her for a while, and came out in a huff, I didn't dare to ask, I don't know what they said."

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Pei looked at each other, Mrs. Pei sighed, "My idiot has suffered such a catastrophe! I have never seen him do anything to a girl in the past, but now I have met the nemesis of my life, what should I do?" !"

At this time, Pei Ling came in from the outside and asked, "How is the big brother?"

Seeing him coming alone, Mrs. Pei was relieved, and said, "Stay farther away, this disease is severe, and I don't know why, it's okay to be sick. There are two healthy people in your yard. It's not good to give them."

Pei Lang stretched her neck to look at the bed, and said in a low voice, "Okay, why are you sick? It's so strange! I just heard what you said about Li Xuezhai. It's really for that little girl? It's so annoying. You just want to be so good for a girl. sick like this!"

Master Pei scolded, "Shut up! If you don't want to think of something, you'll talk nonsense here! Are you so respectful? You've read all the books to the stomach of a dog!"

Pei Lang scratched her head and said, "What's the problem! The heart disease still needs heart medicine, so just invite that daughter here."

Look at the man on the bed again, his lips were peeled after being burned all night, the maid twisted the cold handkerchief and replaced the hot one on his head, and took a spoon to feed him water, he muttered something in his mouth, fainted Shen Shen fell asleep again.

Mrs. Pei said, "I just drank the medicine, and I'll talk about it after reading it later. The girl is unwilling, and it's difficult to invite her. It's better not to be disturbed unless it is absolutely necessary."

Pei Lan said, "How is sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Pei shook her head and said, "At this moment, people still don't recognize it. Tonight, send someone to take some paper money and burn it under the porch in the northwest corner of the Chrysanthemum Garden. Give it away, maybe it will be all right."

A group of people left the garden and went to the Golden Key Hall.Pei Zhen lay in a daze, shivering in the hot weather, and then too hot to cover her with a quilt, and her dreams were full of hopeless shadows.It turned out that the mechanism was all in vain, my heart was miserable, my body couldn't support it anymore, and I fell down.

How did it happen!Originally, he didn't want to take concubines, it was just a feeling of embarrassment. He wanted to see what kind of extraordinary person he was, but the peasant girl didn't want to be a child of the rich man, her ambition was higher than the sky!When meeting someone, Fang felt that she was indeed different from ordinary Xiaojiazi, but she didn't take it seriously. Later, it gradually became wrong, and it became his wishful thinking. In the end, she made a lot of troubles. He also didn't understand that in this life, there will be a refusal not to marry. He owed a romantic debt in the past, and he has to pay it all back. It's really retribution!
On the other side, Pei Ling found the assistant and said sharply, "Why do you serve your master? Why don't you report what happened earlier, instead of killing people now? It's fine if there's nothing wrong with you, sir. , take care of your skin!"

The assistant was also very aggrieved, rubbed his hands together and said, "I didn't expect it to be like this either. The uncle has always had big ideas, but he can do anything he wants to do. Who would have thought that he fell on such a little girl this time? He Dou, I thought it would be okay if the uncle couldn't marry this aunt, but I never expected it to be like this, the uncle has really moved this time, the second master, if you love our uncle, try to find a way to bring Liu Chunjun back, go Just stuff it in the uncle's room, and it's over!"

Pei Lang almost couldn't help slapping him, squinting and said, "Fool! With your master's ability, you would have already started to take him into captivity! If you get someone, you don't have to worry about it. Do you understand, you slave? It's the heart!"

The two sat on the stone of the rockery and sighed for a long time, Pei Lan said, "You have been with him for all those years, don't you know what kind of person he is? Admitting to death, one heart to the end, what's going on now, he's so sick that he's going to lose his appearance , I'm so worried."

The assistant stood up and patted his clothes and said, "I'll invite Miss Chunjun to go and tell her to come and see the uncle, our uncle is kind to her, no matter what she will come."

Pei Lan said, "I'll go together to see how this girl is worthy of his love."

Pei Lang rode on the horse, helped his son pass the bearer on, carried the bamboo chair, and galloped all the way to Lixue Zhai. Fortunately, it was close, and he arrived in about a quarter of an hour.Pei Lan reined in the horse, squinted her eyes and looked in. A girl was doing the accounting behind the counter. The beads of the abacus were adjusted neatly, her snow-white fingers were flying up and down, and she was frowning. I'm a little bit smart, but I feel sorry for his elder brother who is so sick at home because of her illness, but she has nothing wrong with her at all. It can be seen that she is a woman with a cold heart and a cold heart!
Pei Lang got off the horse and rushed in carelessly. The girl raised her head, and Pei Lang couldn't help sighing. She had a pair of watery eyes, so pure that they could reflect a person's shadow!

Wu Wang came out from behind the cabinet and looked at this man, the corners of his mouth were tense, and he looked a little annoyed. His facial features were almost like Pei Zhen's, only slightly darker and shorter than him, and he saw the assistant following him Well, I think this person belongs to Pei's family, but with this face, it looks like someone owes him hundreds of taels of silver, so I don't think he can figure it out for a while.

Pei Lang arched her hands and said, "Pei Lang, I have met the girl."

Zhu'er explained from the side, "This is my second master."

Wuwang returned the gift with the quilt, and said calmly, "I have seen Second Young Master Pei."

Pei Lan nodded and said, "Today, I have a heartless request. Please let the girl walk with me. My brother is so sick that he has only one breath left. He wants to see the girl when he is dying."

Zhu'er secretly sighed in his heart, after all, my brother, who doesn't blush or beats his heart when he tells a lie, is fighting with the uncle?
Hearing this, Wu Wang felt like being shocked by electricity, his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand, tears streaming down his face, and he murmured, "Why did such a thing happen!"

Seeing her girl like this, Liu'er in the inner hall rushed out like a fighting cock, supported Wu Wang, raised her voice and called Mrs. Zhang, and said angrily, "What's the matter with the men bullying our girl! You don't feel ashamed Panic! Thanks to you riding on a tall horse, don't you know a little bit of etiquette and shame!"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly hugged her niece and daughter in her arms, and asked repeatedly, "What's the matter? Fortunately, I didn't go out to the stall today, and I bullied you at home! Whose family are you from? Liuer, take the rolling pin Greetings!" With an order, Liu'er was eager to move forward.

Pei Ling's face turned green, and the assistant hurriedly stopped her shouting, "Ma'am, I'm Master Zhen's servant, you don't recognize me? Don't do anything, he is my second master!"

Zhang Shifang looked intently, told Liu'er to stop, and asked in confusion, "What did you say? What happened?"

Wu Wang choked and said, "It's all my fault! The day Mr. Pei came, I spoke too hastily, and he was so angry that he lay down on the bed, and now...he is going to die!"

Mrs. Zhang was confused when she heard this, and blamed, "You child, are you trying to kill someone! What can we do now!"

The assistant said, "Ask the girl to go with us. Maybe my uncle will come back to life after seeing the girl. The girl will save someone's life. The little one will kneel down for the girl." On the ground, lay down and cried loudly.

Mrs. Zhang panicked, "Let's go quickly, saving people is the most important thing. Liu'er will go with the girl, so I can take care of her. If Mr. Pei gets better, please send Liu'er back and forth. Your uncle and I will listen to you."

Wu Wang nodded, turned around and got on the chair, the bearer hurriedly lifted it up and ran away, the group of people ran out of breath again, and they arrived at Pei's mansion in a blink of an eye.There was a little maid waiting at the gate of the house, and when she saw her coming, she led her to the chrysanthemum garden. After entering the gate of the garden, she could faintly hear crying from inside. With that, he barely entered the room.

The room was lit with incense, and he walked through several layers of curtains to Pei Zhen's Babu bed. He was lying numbly, his face flushed, and his cheeks were sunken in just one day. Green, the ruthless words that day killed him, she was the chief culprit, ten thousand deaths would not be enough to atone for her crime.

Pei Lang waved her hand to tell all the maids in the room to go out, and looked at Wu in a low voice, "Miss, talk to him, see if you can bring his soul back."

Wu Wang knelt on the pedal and whispered, "Pei Gongzi, wake up, I am Chunjun, I'm coming to see you."

Pei Zhen didn't even move her eyelids, she couldn't hear anyone's words.Don't hope to cover your mouth and cry bitterly. If she had known that he was thinking so hard, she would not have said those things that day, and she would be a concubine if she was a concubine, and she would not hurt his life. What should I do now? No matter how good his medical skills are, he can't do it. Self-medication, have to wait to die?
"Girl, don't cry, watch your eyes carefully." Liu'er said, "It seems that you passed out from the fever, call again, you will definitely wake up."

Wuwang nodded, and said softly, "Mr. Pei, I'm here to make amends to you. If you're angry with me, you can even scold me. I just ask you to wake up soon." Nothing at all, Wuwang sat by the bed, his heart was in a mess, he glanced away from the corner of his eyes, and saw a piece of silk protruding from under his pillow, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be the square veil he insisted on removing. Feeling pain in his heart, he murmured, "Landu."

〇[-] years

The girl brought over the soup, but Wuwang took it and fed him one mouthful at a time. Pei Zhen just shivered, and hurriedly added a quilt to him, and sat by him for a while. It's a bit more stable.

At this time, Mrs. Pei received the letter and rushed over from the garden with Pei Ling's biological mother, Aunt Hu. Looking in through the flower window in the corridor, she saw a girl with a slender body and beautiful hair sitting in front of Pei Zhen's bed. Ruyun, with a silver hairpin inserted into the topknot, revealing half of her face and neck, with a water onion-like figure on her side.Mrs. Pei liked it in her heart, and said straight away, "Amitabha, my brother Zhen has chosen half of his life!"

After entering the room, the girl looked back with a loud sound, got up again, took the little girl next to her, and said to the girl holding the bowl, "Girl, this is my wife and aunt."

Wuwang gave another blessing to Aunt Hu and said, "Greetings to my wife and grandma."

Mrs. Pei and Aunt Hu exchanged glances, and praised in their hearts, describing it as neither humble nor overbearing, like a young lady from a big family!

Mrs. Pei hurriedly shook her hand and said, "It's really a tired girl. I ran this trip for our unworthy brother Zhen. The doctor said that he was angry and accompanied by evil fire, and the soup and medicine were useless. It's the girl who can't solve it, that's why Brother Lang came to invite the girl, the girl shouldn't blame us for being abrupt."

Wu Wang said, "It doesn't matter. It's what I should do. It would make me ashamed to ask my wife to tell me."

Aunt Hu sent someone to bring a square stool with three bent legs around her waist, and said, "Sit down with the lady and talk about it. Although the illness is severe, now that the lady is here, there is always a solution. The lady doesn't have to worry about it."

Don't look up and look at the woman, she is in her thirties, she has a long face, which is not considered beautiful, but her face is calm and calm, not as harsh and mean as ordinary concubines, which is very comforting.Looking at Mrs. Pei again, she is fat and fat, with friendly features, she looks like a Maitreya Buddha, not at all like Pei Zhen, but Wang wonders, is it possible that Pei Zhen is not a descendant?

Mrs. Pei looked at Pei Zhen and said, "How are you doing now? It looks like you're sweating."

Aunt Hu said, "I'm going to get better after sweating. It's too stupid to not wake up now. The girl is indeed a noble person. Brother Zhen will see you when you come."

Mrs. Pei said to Wu Wang, "I still trouble the girl to take care of him. This stubbornness has caused trouble for the girl, and we feel sorry for it, but there is nothing we can do now. I'm sorry for the girl."

Wu Wang said, "The uncle is kind to my family, let alone a benefactor, even the neighbors should do their best. Chun Jun will see that the uncle is well before going."

"Okay, girl with a bodhisattva heart and such a character and appearance, it's strange that my idiot is thinking about it." Mrs. Pei sighed, "We also know that marriage can't be forced, and Brother Zhen also has a big one in his room. The girl wronged the girl with him, and just begged the girl to see him for the sake of his sincerity, can we discuss it further?"

Wu Wang bowed her head and remained silent, since ancient times, there has never been a man's mother who would be so humble as to ask her son for a concubine, she lost her status if she lost her manners, she was a little annoyed, knowing that she had been wronged and asked, wouldn't it be contradictory!It's not easy to have a seizure at the moment, Pei Zhen is so ill, discussing these things in front of his bed, afraid of adding to his illness, so he had to endure it, and said, "Mr. Chun's marriage is decided by my uncle and aunt. I am a girl, and I dare not take it." My idea, I came here today because of the young master's illness, and I'm afraid it will be bad for others."

Mrs. Pei is a smart person, her heart is like a mirror, but she said, "I will definitely love you when the girl enters my house, and the courtesy of being a flat wife is also good. The servants only care about the master's grandma, and no one dares to despise the girl. "

Now Wuwang couldn't hold back his face anymore, he stood up and said, "Liu'er, let's go."

Aunt Hu was shocked, and hurriedly stood up to stop her, "Miss, don't be upset, my wife is straight-tempered, and because brother Zhen is so ill now, she hastened a bit. Miss, please forgive me for the sake of my wife's dear son. "

Mrs. Pei also wiped her tears and said, "I made a slip of the tongue. The girl can't leave now. If I leave, Zhen'er will die! When he wakes up, I'll send someone to send the girl back, okay?"

She had no choice but to stay, Aunt Hu said, "My wife is confused, the girl's face is tender, and the marriage must be mentioned with the elders in her family. If you like it in your heart, you can say it regardless. It seems to annoy the girl." One sentence relieved Mrs. Pei and saved face for Wuwang. Liu'er couldn't help but look at Aunt Hu more, thinking that as expected, being an aunt still requires some means, and even death can be said to survive.

Mrs. Pei nodded and said, "That's right, I'm confused, and I never meant to offend the girl." She stood up and said, "Sit down, girl, let's go."

Wuwang and Blessing sent them out, Aunt Hu politely asked her to sit down, and went out of the chrysanthemum garden with Mrs. Pei, talking about Miss Chunjun all the way, Mrs. Pei said, "I was just spying on her, this girl is like this. With a high spirit, even a normal wife would not want her."

Aunt Hu said, "It can be seen that she is a girl with ideas, no wonder Brother Zhen puts her at the top of her heart."

"It's a big idea, but it's hard for my Landu!" Mrs. Pei sighed, and went to the Buddhist hall to pray for Pei Zhen and Sister Su.

Here, Liu'er pouted and muttered, "Look at the girl's good nature, the two of them sang and set up a trick to lure the girl in! If you want me to say that the girl shouldn't come!"

Wu Wang wiped Pei Zhen's sweat with a handkerchief, and said lightly, "I'm repaying his favor. You should stop saying a few words and listen carefully to him!"

Because of his love, and thinking of his usual goodness, it is no problem to take care of him wholeheartedly.

Pei Zhen was tossing and turning from cold to hot until Shen Shifang woke up slowly. When he opened his eyes, he felt the world was spinning. It took a lot of effort to see the person in front of him clearly, and then he looked at the layout of the room. It was his own home, so he was puzzled. , "Why is the girl here?"

Wu Wangxi said, "You're not feeling well, I'll come to see you, just wake up." Turning back to Liu'er, he said, "Go and inform the elder sister outside, and tell them that Master Zhen is awake, and tell them to invite the wife. "

Liu'er glanced at Pei Zhen, nodded and went out to find someone.

Embarrassed for a few moments, Pei Zhen propped himself up to sit up, but Wuwang helped him to sit up and asked, "But do you want some water?"

Pei Zhen nodded and said, "Please trouble me, girl."

Don Wang saw that his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he spoke in a tone of alienation, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, turned around to the table and poured a glass of water, handed it to him to drink slowly, and said hesitantly, "You When you wake up, take good care of it, I should go too."

Pain appeared in Pei Zhen's eyes, and she murmured, "It's better not to wake up."

Wuwang didn't want to worry about it in his heart, and he had no other choice, so he said, "Why do you have to worry about yourself, you should take good care of your body. I've been here for a long time, and my family is still looking forward to it. When you are safe, my uncle and I will come to see you again." you."

Speaking of leaving, Pei Zhen stretched out his hand to hold her, and called out shyly, "Chun Jun..." It was as if parting from life and death, holding her tightly and unwilling to let go.

Guwang struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so he had to let him hold him, and said kindly, "Let go quickly, why do you look like a child, let others see what it looks like!"

Pei Zhen saw that there was neither joy nor sorrow on her face, her heart turned cold, and she slowly let go of her hands and said, "You are really cold, don't you think I'm not in your heart at all?"

Wu Wang said with a hard heart, "I don't seek wealth and glory, I only want a couple from one generation to the next. Can you do it? If you can do it, Chunjun will follow you to the ends of the earth and never lose you."

Pei Zhen was suffocated by her question, thinking whether to tell her the truth, and afraid that she would alienate him even more if she found out...Suddenly, his mind exploded. She has been closely linked with King Yan, if she fails in the incident, it will be a great crime against the entire family, how can he harm her!Let's discuss this matter later, if you are successful or defeated, you will come to find her again when your great cause is successful, but I'm afraid that she will already be someone else's wife at that time... Isn't it right and wrong, tell her to wait?Can you wait?A year and a half is fine, but ten or eight years?Pei Zhen struggled for half a day, gradually weakened, and gradually turned ashen.

Seeing his appearance, Wu Wang couldn't help shedding tears, feeling ashamed, angry and disappointed.After all, there is no fate. Since he already has a wife, why did he meet again? It made the two of them suffer so much, it is really doomed!
Liu'er came to help Wuwang, there was a lot of noise outside, a large group of people poured in from outside the garden, Pei Zhen frowned, and shouted, "Help!"

The assistant quickly ran to the bed and said, "My uncle, you are awake!"

Seeing him crying, Pei Zhen was annoyed, and reprimanded him in a low voice, "What are you crying for? I didn't die and you cried to death! Go to the garden and block people back, and say that I will go to greet you when I am well. I have no energy now. Fall asleep again."

Zhu'er had to order Sa Yazi to run out, and Pei Zhen said to Liu'er, "You wait outside, I have something to say with your girl."

He was born to give orders, Liu'er was afraid of him, and looked at his own girl, Wuwang nodded, she just walked out of the door?

Wu Wang sat down and said, "Speak, I'll listen."

Pei Zhen took a breath and said, "I'm going to Beiping in two days. I don't know if I will see you again in this life. I just ask you to understand that I have a good heart for you, and I don't mean anything frivolous. You Trust me."

Wu Wang bit his lip and nodded, his throat choked up and he couldn't speak.

Pei Zhen closed her eyes and said word by word, "It's dangerous for me to go, I don't know if I will come back alive, you must take care of yourself."

Wu Wang panicked, "Are you bluffing me? Why are you dying?"

Sadness flashed across Pei Zhen's eyes, and he said slowly, "It's good that you don't know, don't ask. If I'm still alive in three years and you're not married, I will definitely marry you as my first wife. Man, how are you?"

In three years, too many things will happen, who knows what the situation will be in three years!Seeing the sincere expression on his face, Wu Wang nodded and said, "Okay."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "It's a deal, three years, no regrets."

Don't expect to be sure. "No regrets."

Pei Zhen showed her previous unruliness again, glanced at her and said, "Three years later, I will definitely give you an imperial title!"
