Pei Nu means that Pei Yan's status is not high. This is because he is extremely honest, or rather a nerd. He was once recommended as the county magistrate, but because he was not involved in ordinary affairs, he only became an official for one year. He was dismissed from office because he offended too many people and was looked down upon by the Pei clan.
Pei Ju didn't like him very much, so he ordered him to go back to his old house in Wenxi County to look after the family. He had been living in Wenxi County until he came to Beijing to find a job a few months ago. Pei Ju wanted to find him a job.
Pei Wenyi's wife, Wang, also came from a well-known family in Taiyuan. She had a gentle temperament, respected her parents-in-law, and was kind-hearted. However, she was slightly more capable than her husband. She took care of the housework and raised children. Although she lived a frugal life, her family lived happily. Although Pei Ju thought his second son was dull, he liked his capable and filial daughter-in-law very much.
Pei Wenyi and his wife are both nearly forty years old. They have four children in total, two sons and two daughters. The eldest son Pei Zhu has become an official and has become the magistrate of Fenshui County. The second son Pei Ming is studying at Taiyuan Official School. The eldest daughter Pei Minyu got married the year before last. , her husband’s family belongs to the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Pei Minqiu is the couple’s youngest daughter. She is only fourteen years old this year and is gradually approaching the age of marriage.
The family rule of the Pei family is that a young man must marry a wife at the age of sixteen, which means that a man must pass the age of a young man before he can marry a wife. This is to ensure that the children of the Pei family can concentrate on studying and not be distracted by family affairs, while women must They can only get married after reaching the age of sixteen to ensure their safety during childbirth.
But it is not absolute. As long as you are successful in your studies, you can also get married in advance. For example, Pei Ju married his wife after becoming an official at the age of eighteen.
Mrs. Wang noticed Yang Yuanqing as soon as she entered the house. She heard from her father-in-law that this young man was Yang Suzhi, who was promoted through military service. He was not yet eighteen years old this year, and he was already the governor of the state, an earl, and the founder of the mansion. The status of the Third Division is dazzling, but for Wang and her husband, these official titles are not important. What is important is character, and character is the most important.
Of course, the father only implicitly told the couple that Yang Yuanqing might become their son-in-law. As for whether Yang Yuanqing was willing to become their son-in-law, and whether his daughter was destined to be with him, these were unknown matters, so the couple did not dare to talk nonsense to avoid being exposed. People laugh at you.
The Wang family was very satisfied with Yang Yuanqing's appearance and figure. He was very tall and had a heroic appearance. Although he was a military general, he did not have the slightest rudeness about him, but rather looked like a Confucian general:
Wang also observed Yang Yuanqing in some details, including his manners, how picky he was about food when eating, whether he chewed loudly, and even when the maid gave him a drink, he slightly bowed. Wang noticed these. They are details that are not noticed by people, but it is precisely from these details that one can see one’s personal accomplishment and character.
So far, Yang Yuanxi has satisfied her, and he has not behaved in a way that offends her. The only thing she is worried about now is how knowledgeable Yang Yuanqing is. She does not want her son-in-law to be an illiterate warrior. She will wait for her You should ask carefully - ask your daughter, it is said that they know each other.
The atmosphere at the family banquet was very harmonious. Both Pei Ju brothers were good talkers, and Pei Ju knew that Yang Qi... Qing got out of the car and went to see the emperor. He was very concerned about the outcome?
After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Pei Ju smiled and asked, "Yuan Qing, you went to see the Holy Spirit this afternoon. What was the result?"
This afternoon, when Yang Yuanqing called Pei Wenyi his uncle, the title between them quietly changed. Speaking of which, Pei Ju was only three years younger than Yang Su and was of the same generation as Yang Su. Yang Yuanqing should also call him ancestor. It was just that Pei Ju was deliberately He wooed Yang Yuanqing and took the initiative to call him his nephew, and now Pei Ju calls Yang Yuanqing his nephew again, which is obviously inappropriate.
Yang Yuanqing hurriedly bowed and said: "With Mr. Pei's advice today, Yuanqing suddenly became enlightened. I specially asked the Holy One for my sins. He was forgiven by the Holy One and not only pardoned my sins, but also gave me a farmhouse to appease me from the pain of guarding the border for the country."
Pei Ju and Pei Yun looked at each other in shock. This was a strange news. Instead of being punished for returning to the capital without authorization, they were rewarded with a farm. However, both of them were high-ranking officials in the imperial court. After a little thought, they knew that there must be something else involved. They
Without asking any more questions, everyone raised a glass to congratulate Yang Yaxi.
"Yuanqing is a blessing in disguise, we toast to you!"
The family dinner didn't last long, so Yang Yuanqing said goodbye. In the study, Pei Ju and Pei Yun began to discuss a major matter. It wasn't the marriage issue, which was not urgent, but what Yang Ya... Qing mentioned.
Another thing, regarding the prince, Yang Yuanqing will go to the prince's mansion tomorrow to attend the reception banquet specially designed for him by the prince. He invites the Pei brothers to attend.
Of course the Pei brothers know what it means to attend the prince's family banquet. This is where the Pei family takes sides. Should they choose the King of Qi or the prince?
Pei Ju paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, frowning slightly, "Yang Yuanqing's hint is also reasonable. If the prince passes away unfortunately, the emperor will not appoint the king of Qi, but the emperor's grandson is very likely. The king of Qi is lustful, stupid and incompetent.
, even if he is the only son of the Holy Sage, the Holy Sage may not pass on the throne to him.
The key to him is that the Holy Emperor is in his prime and can still rule for at least twenty years. Twenty years later, the emperor's grandson will be in the prime of life, and the prince's three sons are all smart, well-educated, and eager to learn at a young age.
Due to the favor of the Holy Emperor, I feel that King Li Qi and Prince Li’s grandson are probably very poor, what do you think?"
Pei Yun was also a powerful character. He was able to predict the holy will and was very sure of it. He was appointed as the Censor Zhongcheng and was responsible for the impeachment. He considered the issues very carefully. He once governed the people who had fled their households. His laws were strict and without exception, which won him the favor of Yang.
Widely trusted.
Taihu's position is related to the future of the Pei family. Pei Yun is also very cautious and dare not make any decisions easily. He also pondered: "I think even if you are establishing an emperor's grandson, you should not rush to express your position. With the status of the Pei family,
, whether it is King Qi or Huang Taiyu, they will focus on wooing them in the future, and they are not in a hurry to make a premature choice. I think the best way is to remain silent..."
Pei Ju nodded. Pei Yun's words made sense. With the status of the Pei family, there was no need to rush to take sides. Since the two of them had the same idea, it was decided.
"What about tomorrow?"
Pei Ju thought about it and came up with a solution, "I think we can let a member of the Pei family accompany Ya Qing to the Prince's Mansion for the banquet. This will not only give him face, but at the same time he will not attract attention."
Pei Yun thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "Why don't you find an excuse to ask Min Qiu to accompany him."
The two looked at each other and laughed knowingly.
After coming out of Pei Mansion, it was already dark. Yang Yuanqing led a few soldiers and headed towards Fengdu City in a hurry. The night breeze was blowing gently, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
A conversation with Yang Guang today relieved him of his worries, and he also got a manor covering an area of 5,000 acres. This was really an unexpected surprise. Since Yang Guang no longer blamed him for entering the capital without permission, then he
There is no need to rush back, you can go and see your own manor.
Yang Yuanqing was in a good mood. If possible, he would like to find a few more friends to go to a wine shop for a drink. Yang Yuanqing thought of Shan Xiongxin and Qin Qiong again. Two years have passed. How are they doing?
Everyone rode horses to the gate of Fengdu City. This is a vast square. Although it is dark, there are still a lot of people enjoying the shade in the square. They gather together in twos and threes to chat, and there are many stalls.
Buskers refused to close their stalls even after dark, and danced with swords and sticks to earn a few hard-earned pennies.
Moreover, since the capital was moved to Luoyang, in order to promote commerce, the imperial court actually canceled the night ban on the streets and kept the city gates closed, but the city gates were no longer closed, allowing the people to stay up all night and drink until dawn.
Yang Yuanqing led everyone to walk around the square. He also felt bored, so he turned around and walked into Fengdu City. As soon as he reached the door, several soldiers suddenly exclaimed, "There is a cold arrow!"
Yang Yuanqing also saw it. In the dark night, a cold arrow was shot towards his face. There seemed to be something on the arrow. Although the arrow was extremely fast, Yang Yuanqing calmly raised his hand and caught the arrow in the air.
Look, he is extremely skilled in martial arts, and a cold arrow can no longer hurt him.
Several soldiers were furious and chased him on horseback. Yang Yuanqing stopped him and said, "Stop chasing!"
He watched as the black shadow crossed the high wall until it disappeared from the wall of Fengdu City. Then he looked down at the arrow in his hand. There was a text message stuck on the arrow. Yang Yuanqing opened the letter and looked closely at the light at the gate of Fengdu City.
, there is only one sentence above, "A careful inspection of the iron shop and the forging iron shop" should lead to great results...
Yang Yuanqing frowned, ‘Hundred Forged Iron Shop? What kind of secret is hidden in it?…
Back at the Red Rust Tea House, Compas had followed Yang Yuanqing's instructions and hid with his wife and daughter. There were only the second shopkeeper and a few clerks in the shop. The Red Rust Tea House was registered with the city department and the proprietor was Compas.
, dealing in tea, in fact, in the capital, except for Kangbas who knew that Yang Yuanqing was the real proprietor, neither the second shopkeeper nor the clerk knew anything about it, and they didn't even know where the tea was ultimately sold?
As soon as Yang Yuanqing walked into the teahouse, the second shopkeeper came up to him in panic and asked urgently: "General Yang, have you seen my proprietor?"
Yang Yuanqing shook his head and asked him again: "What happened?"
The second shopkeeper, whose surname is Liu, is in his forties and is a native of Luoyang. He is honest, but at the same time he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He is most afraid of lawsuits. Some abnormal things that happened in the past two days made him a little scared. He said tremblingly:
"Two government officials came in the evening
, let the proprietor go to the county office tomorrow morning to ask questions. I asked what happened, but they didn’t say anything. General, our tea house has never encountered such a thing. Strange people have been appearing in the past two days. Everyone.
I feel a little uneasy, worried that something is going to happen in the store."
Yang Yuanqing thought for a while and said: "That's it! You all will go home temporarily tonight. The store will be closed tomorrow and Lao Kang will inform you when it will open."
The second shopkeeper was overjoyed. He had been waiting for this sentence. Although it was not the order from the proprietor himself, General Yang had a very good relationship with the proprietor, so it should be fine. He turned around and ran in a panic to tell the waiter to go home:
At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, followed by the sound of green tea exclaiming at the top of the stairs, "Uncle Liu, the streets are here again - men in black, they look so scary!"
