Chapter 370 Meet again

Suzaku thought for a while and smiled: "Maybe you and I are still somewhat related?"

"Why?"

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

Li Ye suddenly realized, "So does Liefeng accepting you as his disciple have anything to do with your mother?"

"That's one reason! The main reason is that I grew up in the palace."

"Why?"

"I have an aunt, who is Zhaoyi in the palace. One time, my mother went to the palace to visit Zhaoyi with a big belly, but she accidentally moved the fetal force. She had no time to send it out, so I was born in the palace, but my mother got it.

I died of puerperal fever less than a month after giving birth. My aunt had no children, so she raised me in the palace. When I was five years old, my aunt also died of illness. Before she died, she handed me over to Master. From then on, I and Master

Together."

"When did you leave the palace?"

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

"Are you familiar with the imperial concubine?"

"Of course she is familiar with her. She taught me how to read and write. Princess Guangping and I are both her students."

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

Suzaku shook his head quickly, "Although I am the most favored by Master, I am not the best in martial arts. The highest one is Master's third disciple, a little palace maid who serves Master, named Gongsun Qian. Now everyone calls her Gongsun Auntie."

"Aunt Gongsun!"

Li Ye smiled happily and said: "I heard that Du Fu even wrote a poem praising her superb swordsmanship. In the past, there was a beautiful lady Gongsun who moved all directions with her sword. Where is she now?"

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

"Pei Min's wife ranks second in martial arts, right?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

"No! She ranks third. The second is your aunt Li Tengkong. She has excellent qinggong. She can jump down from the mountain and walk on the trees like flying. The locals think she is a fairy."

"Then you are the fourth one, right?"

Suzaku nodded, "I am ranked fourth. I am mainly famous for my Qinggong and throwing knives. Like you, I practiced throwing knives while playing polo."

"Suzaku!"

Someone suddenly shouted not far away. When she raised her head, Suzaku's expression suddenly felt unnatural. Her eldest brother Dugu Jinyang was standing not far away, holding a wine glass in his hand and looking at her and Li Ye with a half-smile.

"Why do you have to disturb others!"

Zhuque murmured in a low voice and said to Li Ye: "It's my eldest brother, I'll go say hello!"

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

I saw Zhuque talking to Dugu Jinyang for a few words, and then pointed this way, and Dugu Jinyang waved his hand in this direction.

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

Dugu Jinyang chuckled, "I finally discovered the answer to our family's biggest mystery."

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

Dugu Jinyang smiled and said to Li Ye: "If you need anything at the military camp, come directly to me and I will say hello to father."

"Thank you, Brother Jinyang! I'm fine so far."

"Okay, I won't disturb you, I'll take the first step."

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

Dugu Jinyang's face changed slightly, this damn girl actually used this matter to threaten him not to talk anymore.

He forced a smile and walked away quickly.

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

"Did you catch your elder brother?" Li Ye asked with a smile.

Suzaku snorted, "He was messing around outside, raising a housewife, and if his father found out, it would be weird if he didn't break his legs."

"Maybe your brother is thinking about continuing the family line!"

"If you want to carry on the family line, then you should seriously marry a few concubines and bring home innocent girls from good families. My sister-in-law is also a tolerant person, but that woman is! You said that if she gave birth to a son, her son would live forever.

If you can’t lift your head, why bother?”

Li Ye can completely understand that every family has its own rules. Some families don't care about the mother's identity. They redeem women from the entertainment field and take them as concubines to bear children for themselves. This situation is also common.

yes.

But some families are very concerned about it. As the top family of the Tang Dynasty, the Dugu family values ​​reputation and bloodline more than other families. It is just a concubine in a side house. However, Dugu Jinyang is the eldest son. If the eldest son of the Dugu family gives birth to a boy,

His mother was a prostitute, so it would be difficult for him to be accepted by his family. Even if he was reluctantly accepted, the child would be unable to hold his head high for the rest of his life.

Although the Tang Dynasty was tolerant and open to foreign cultures and open to all rivers, it was highly hierarchical internally. People from all walks of life had different regulations. They were not allowed to wear random clothes. For example, if you were a flat-headed commoner, you could wear a purple gown and be carefree.

When passing through the market, if someone reports someone, they will be arrested, ranging from being beaten with a stick to being exiled in the serious case.

Ordinary civilians are actually pretty good. The people at the lowest level are merchants, slaves and low-class people. Once they work in brothels or brothels, they will be classified as low-class people. Prostitutes want to marry well. If they are young and beautiful, they will be classified as high-ranking officials and nobles.

If she is interested, she will be taken as a concubine, but if she gets old and loses her beauty, she will usually marry a musician who is also of low status, or marry a businessman, just like the description in "Pipa Xing", where there are few horses and horses in front of the house, and the boss marries a businessman.

woman.

This is also an important reason why Li Ye wants to tell Zhuque his life story clearly. He was once an illegitimate child. If Zhuque or his family care about this, then there is no need for them to date him anymore.

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

"Suzaku, come and sit at my house tomorrow if you have time! My mother likes you very much. If she knew that your mother was also a daughter of the Pei family, she would definitely be very happy, and maybe she would even let you accompany her on a treasure hunt."

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

"I'm going to the Bashang Military Camp tomorrow and won't be back until the afternoon."

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

Zhuque's pretty face turned red and she said shyly, "They know who I took off the mask for!"

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

Li Ye was excited for a moment and mustered up his courage. He kissed her on the forehead like a dragonfly and said with a smile: "I'm leaving!"

Suzaku was immediately shy, lowered his head, his heart was pounding like a deer, he actually kissed him.

Li Ye had just urged the horse to take a few steps. Suzaku bit his lip and suddenly shouted: "Ah Ye!"

Li Ye turned around and looked at her with a smile. Zhuque's pretty face flushed and said, "Go back and tell your aunt that I will definitely come tomorrow morning!"

Li Ye waved to her, turned the horse's head and walked away.

After returning home feeling relaxed and happy all the way, Li Ye couldn't help but smile to his mother and said, "Mom, I went to visit Lie Feng yesterday."

Pei Sanniang kept saying that she wanted to see her great-aunt, but she was so busy that she forgot about it. She quickly asked: "How is my great-aunt?"

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

"What secret?" Pei Sanniang asked curiously.

"She said Feilong hid a treasure in Taipingfang's house, a treasure I will definitely like."

"Isn't it your secret room?"

"No! It's somewhere else."

Pei Sanniang suddenly became interested and asked quickly: "What kind of treasure could it be?"

"The things I like are definitely gold, silver and jewelry."

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

"Suzaku and I went looking for it this morning."

"Suzaku?"

Pei Sanniang's attention was immediately diverted. She was more concerned about her son's lifelong events than gold, silver and jewelry. She did not want her son to bring her a Hu daughter-in-law back from the Western Regions.

A mother will definitely not think about feelings, but will consider appearance, temperament, family background, whether it will be helpful to her son, etc.

Zhuque is a good girl, talented and beautiful, a lady, and the legitimate daughter of the Dugu family. She will be helpful to her son's future future.

The only drawback is that I am one year older than my son, but this is not a big problem.

"Ye'er, please ask Miss Zhuque to come and sit at our house!"

"She may come tomorrow morning. If you didn't find the treasure today, she will accompany you to find it tomorrow."

Pei Sanniang was overjoyed, "You and I are very good at finding treasures. Let's see how we can catch them tomorrow!"
