Chapter 39: Superstition
"I have a general relationship with my father, I vaguely remember that when I was a child, there was no peace in the country, he led the troops all the year round, and my mother read to me that 'the family letter is worth ten thousand gold' and couldn't help but burst into tears. www.biquge.info Do you know that my mother is like this courtyard, gentle and generous, and occasionally makes a small character, in memory, it is more of my mother's figure, and he doesn't remember his appearance very clearly. ”
Pei Shuo's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, he said for a long time, Ah Yao believed that his first sentence was true, in his memory it was more about his mother and grandfather, so detailed that he was as old as her, hiding in the study to play peek-a-boo, staining the book and being slapped by his grandfather, but for his father, it was said in three or two sentences.
But she didn't dare to ignore it.
"My mother said, that year the Hu people raised troops to commit my border plug, my father went to the border town, has not settled down, heard that I caught the soldier on the day of the first birthday, so happy that he immediately led 3,000 soldiers, drove straight into the grassland, entered the royal court, beat the Hu people fell into the water, and quickly ceased the war, so far every year to pay tribute to the court. ”
"Well, your dad is a big hero!" she gave a thumbs up.
"For the country, he is a hero, but he is not a good man. My mother has been waiting for him for so many years, and he has become ill, and finally the world is decided, he is on the road to victory, but my mother listens to the sound of the rain hitting the plantains, closes her eyes and will not wake up again. ”
When A-Yao heard him say that he would not wake up again, her nose was sore, and she almost fell into tears, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "It's all in the past. ”
Pei Shuo turned his head and looked at the sky outside the window: "Yes, it's all over, three years in the blink of an eye, if it weren't for my grandfather and second aunt telling me that I have a stepmother, I wouldn't have known that he took off his sackcloth and changed into a wedding dress in such a short time." ”
His voice trembled, his teeth gritted, and his hands clenched into fists.
Ah Yao noticed, thought about it, and spread her palm to cover his fist, giving him wordless support.
He was angry not that his father didn't tell him to marry a new stepwife, but that he regretted that his mother was married to a non-human.
"The second aunt told me that a motherless child is like a piece of grass, and the new lady will rob my father and my house, and her son will rob me of my title, and she will not be good to me. ”
Why does this sound familiar, could it be that they are wearing the same clothes?
"Xingzhi told me that the new lady has a bad temper and will pump people at every turn, and she also provoked my father to drive me to Nanxun County, and she didn't plan to let me go back in the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Ah Yao felt wrong before, and Pei Shuo's words deepened her impression again: "This is what Pei Xingzhi said, have you verified it?"
"Well, Xingzhi won't lie to me. ”
“……”
Pei Shuo waited for a while and didn't see her respond, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Miss you. "Your second uncle, second aunt and second brother don't seem to be good things.
"Cheng, what kind of system!" Pei Shuo suddenly blushed, a little twisted, and his depressed mood cleared the clouds, and then hit the snake with the stick: "You think about me a little more, and others don't think about it." ”
She was molested by a ten-year-old boy!
"It's too shameless, and your Pei Xingzhi ...... Forget it, don't say it. Ah Yao thought about it for a long time, convinced of her intuition Pei Xingzhi had bad intentions, the relationship between Pei Shuo and him some time ago was obvious to all, rashly saying bad things about Pei Xingzhi, Pei Shuo would turn his face, right?
No, why should I care about Pei Shuo's mood, he is not one of mine!
"When did you hook up with him?" he glanced at and heard his cousin's name from Ah Yao's mouth, and the more he heard it, the more uncomfortable he became: "It's much better for you to call him by his name than to call me." ”
"Poof! Don't worry about these details, okay. ”
The two were fighting, the topic was crooked to Java, the time for honeysuckle to see the water leak, remember to turn around outside the door, the two children were having a good time, where did anyone notice him, "Sister Shaocui, it's convenient, remind the young master that it's late, and he should go back to rest." ”
There is no need for Honeysuckle to remind, Shao Cui is also going, she smiled: "Yes, but how do you thank me, for example, Granny Fan's small cakes?"
Granny Fan's small cakes are in the south of the county, the store is very small, the pastries are very delicious, many people go to Nanxun County, they are allowed to bring one or two boxes of Granny Fan's pastries back, the sky is bright, there are people waiting in line to buy pastries, to the afternoon, basically sold out, go late and can't buy it.
"Okay!"
Honeysuckle gritted his teeth and nodded, Shaocui went to the pantry to bring tea, walked into the room, replaced the cold tea in the pot, and said, "Girl, it's getting late, let's rest early." ”
"I don't know the time when I'm chatting, he~ I should also go back to rest, you go to sleep, shake Cui, don't serve tea, save her from not growing taller after she can't sleep. ”
He yawned, only glanced at it, thinking that Shaocui had brought the brewed tea, reminded her to stretch and walk out.
A dreamless night.
The next day, the carriage was loaded with cages and waiting at the side door, Pei Xingzhi took the little servant, and Fu Bo and Bai Yun followed behind.
It is not surprising that Pei Shuo will see him off, but why, Pei Bo Pei Yang is riding a tall horse, holding the reins in his hand at the front of the carriage, and carrying a bag on his shoulder, no matter how you look at it, you feel that you want to go with him?
The questioning gaze moved from Pei Yang's face to Fu Bo's face.
Fu Bo said: "Pei Bo Pei Yang went back to report on his work and went on the same road with the second young master, they still have plenty of time, so the old slave asked the two brothers to escort the second young master, so that the old slave can also feel at ease." ”
"There are two Pei guards. Pei Xing knew.
"Drive!" shouted the coachman, raised his whip, and struck the horses with great force, and the wheels of the carriage turned, and the carriage moved forward slowly.
"Second Young Master has had a good trip. ”
The figures of Fu Bo and Bai Yun gradually left behind them and became smaller and smaller, Pei Xingzhi opened the curtain and looked at it a few times and quickly put it down.
In the capital, hundreds of miles away, Cui Mengzhang, the stepwife of the founding marquis, listened to the maid Jianlan report a list of gifts.
Jianlan thought about it and hesitated: "Do you want to give a gift to the eldest young master, he is studying in Nanxun County, and he can't come back in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the slave is worried about ......"
"It's all a family, if you divide the number of births according to this list, you send someone to buy the four treasures of the study and send them to the eldest young master. ”
But he never mentioned letting Pei Shuo come back.
She has been married to the Pei family for almost a month, and she has never seen Pei Shuo.
The structure of the Pei family is thin, the father-in-law Pei Suiyin is in good health, a wife and a concubine died of illness, leaving the eldest son, that is, her husband Pei Zhengwen, the founding marquis, and the second son, the second uncle Pei Zhengshan, the second uncle is from the aunt Shui, since the death of the Shui family, the second uncle's family has been separated, one wife and one son, Pei Xingzhi ranks second, a few months younger than Pei Shuo.
Pei Zhengwen's backyard is also very quiet, like a father-in-law, the same wife and a concubine, Wei Qixiang died of illness and left his eldest son Pei Shuo, as for the Feng family, he used to be a maid, and he only raised his face when he opened his face, and gave birth to his son Pei Xingning, ranking third.
Listening to the Li family, the Pei family is not an ordinary yang and yin decline, a little evil.
Thinking that his father-in-law's wife and concubine and Wei's all died of illness, Cui Mengzhang held his breath in his heart, for fear that one day it would be her turn to die of a violent illness, and he would rather be superstitious than let Pei Shuo, who was rumored to be a martial artist, come back and disturb her.
