524【Spring Banquet】
Dingguofu, Ding'an Hall.
Today, Taijun Pei was so happy that he specially invited the whole family to come over and held a banquet in the side hall. The table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and the sea, and the wealth and wealth could be seen at a glance.
Pei Taijun is sitting in the main seat, with Pei Rong and Pei Yun on the left, Li Shi, Pei Ning and Pei Jue on the right. Several of Pei Rong's concubines are not eligible to sit, such as Pei Jue's students.
Aunt Mo, the mother, could only stand respectfully aside. Although there were many maids and servants in the hall, everyone was careful and did not dare to make a sound, so as not to disturb the master's interest in the conversation.
After a few drinks, Taijun Pei looked up at Pei Ning, who was dressed in plain makeup, and smiled kindly: "Girl Ning, I heard that when you were in the palace, the imperial concubine praised you in public?"
Pei Ning responded softly, then lowered his head and looked in front of him.
She is not Xiaojiabiyu who has never seen the world, and she will not show timidity even in the palace. After observing closely, she has to admit that the eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Wu, has an unfathomable city. Compared with the Li family, she is as different as clouds and mud.
.Whether she is dealing with people or speaking sharply, Concubine Wu can always be impeccable. This is why she can gain a foothold in the palace and is the most favored by Emperor Kaiping.
But because of this, she didn't want to marry King Lu even more. She had heard Shen Danmo talk about the evil deeds of the eldest prince, and had seen the power of Concubine Wu with her own eyes. Pei Ning knew that she had a weak personality, so how could she go to such a place?
She lived a stable life. But she didn't understand how high the storm was outside. She only knew that the atmosphere at home could not tolerate her even saying "no".
Everyone at the banquet just thought she was thin-skinned and refused to speak, so Mrs. Li smiled and said: "Mother, Ning Yatou is a person who was trained by you, how can she make mistakes? The imperial concubine is very satisfied with her.
She was very fond of him, and even asked her to visit him in the palace from time to time."
"That's good."
Pei Taijun turned to Pei Rong and asked: "Rong'er, I'm still a little worried in my heart. This matter shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Pei Rong shook his head and said, "Don't worry, mother. This matter is beneficial and harmless. It is an excellent thing for Ning'er, our Pei family and the Tian family."
Pei Taijun asked happily: "Really?"
Pei Rong looked at Pei Yun beside him and said, "Come and explain to the old lady in detail."
"Yes, father."
Pei Yun lowered his eyes slightly, and then said calmly to Mrs. Pei: "Old ancestors, the eldest prince has a noble status and a gentle temperament. He is the best match in the world. The eldest sister will be the princess when she marries her. No matter in the future, she will be the princess now.
There cannot be a better choice. For the Pei family, because some past events are unfamiliar to the Tian family, this marriage can
Getting closer to each other is also an excellent help for the eldest brother's future. It is true that the Pei family today is worse than it was back then, but the love left by the grandfather and ancestors is still there. Your Majesty's closeness to the Pei family will naturally influence some people.
Wu Xunqingui’s views are very useful for today’s delicate situation in the military.”
Pei Taijun was very satisfied, his face turned into wrinkles with a smile, and he said kindly: "In this way, isn't it a happy scene for everyone?"
Pei Yun nodded and said, "That's exactly it."
Pei Taijun said with emotion: "Well, after the Duke of Guo left, I couldn't sleep day and night. Every time I thought about the fact that this family property was in my hands, it became worse day by day. How could I go to see him?
Now that I hear what you say, if it can add a bit of luster to the lintel, I can feel relieved even if I close my eyes."
The conversation made Pei Rong blush, and he had to leave the table and said: "Mother, my son is unfilial and has failed to live up to your expectations."
Pei Taijun looked at him with complicated eyes, waved his hands and said, "That's all, I can't tell who was right or wrong about what happened back then. From now on, you can stay with your mother in the house and let Brother Cheng and Brother Yun work hard to make progress.
"
"Yes, mother."
Pei Rong agreed, and just as he was about to take his seat, he saw a woman who was in charge of the inner house running in in a panic, saying in a panic: "Old lady, madam, the third young master is here, and he is bringing a group of fierce soldiers with him!"
A look of surprise appeared on Taijun Pei's old face, and he asked in a trembling voice: "What is he doing here?"
Pei Rong said with a gloomy face: "Mom, don't worry, your son will take care of it. Who is in charge of Pei Wu's family today?"
The fifth member of Pei's family lowered his head and replied: "Sir, Butler Pei is in front today."
Pei Rong then said to Pei Taijun: "Mother, if Yongnian handles things properly, there will be no mistakes. From now on, Pei Wu's family will tell their family members not to call that little beast the third young master. That day in the court hall
, didn’t he personally say that he was renounced from the Pei family? In a few days, I will ask the clan elders to come forward and open an ancestral hall to expel him from the Pei family tree!"
Taijun Pei was shocked and said: "Rong'er, it doesn't have to be like this, right?"
Pei Rong said with an evil look on his face: "Mother, it was he who wanted to break out of the door, but we did not force him. If he didn't do this, who among the nobles would look down on the Pei family? This move was not a way for his son to vent his personal anger.
I just don’t want people to look down on the Pei family!”
Pei Taijun felt a headache when she heard this. If she had known that this concubine could be so troubled, she would never have let him leave the house and enter the village. At worst, she would keep him by her side and treat him better from now on. Even if she spent some money
Yin Yang
A useless person, what does this mean to the Pei family? It was just a moment of soft-heartedness, and there was no thought of driving away trouble. Who would have expected that this would not be driving away trouble at all, but would instead create an extremely troublesome behemoth.
Her current idea is to completely pretend that Pei Yue does not exist, that he should be his Marquis of Zhongshan, that the Pei family will enjoy life behind closed doors, and that it would be best if both parties never interact with each other. However, this is obviously an unrealistic wish.
Everyone at the table had different expressions.
After hearing the panicked words of Pei Wujia, Li's whole body seemed to be frozen, her face turned blue at a speed visible to the naked eye, her hands trembled involuntarily, and her eyes cast a look of hatred.
Pei Yun was quite calm. He had never thought that Pei Ning's marriage could be hidden from Pei Yue, especially when the husband was the eldest prince. However, the news had not spread yet, and Pei Yue's speed was beyond his expectation.
.
But he still didn't worry too much, because even if Pei Yue rose to prominence now, he would not dare to go against the Tian family.
Pei Ning was very surprised at first. She didn't think too much, but she hadn't seen Pei Yue for more than a year, and she really missed him. But after hearing Pei Rong's words, she couldn't help but turn pale. She wanted to dissuade him but didn't know.
How to speak, I felt very tormented for a while.
At this moment, one of Pei Rong's personal servants ran in with a face full of fear, causing the maids and servants to avoid him with frightened faces, but he was not in the mood to look around at all, and suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted with a cry: "
Chapter completed!
