Chapter 379: Preparation
After sending Langhua back to Gu's house, Pei Qitang went straight into the house and came to the study. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhang Tong and Wang Fengxi were already waiting there.
Pei Qitang walked in, and under the afterglow of the setting sun, his lips pursed slightly, and his expression looked a little cold.
Wang Fengxi's eyelids jumped, knowing that something important must have happened, and it was rare for a son to have such a look.
Wang Fengxi stepped forward and said, "Is Tang Bin's case not going well?"
Pei Qitang didn't speak, sat on the chair, and looked at Wang Fengxi for a while: "Did you see King Ning when my father was alive?"
Wang Fengxi couldn't help but be surprised, could it be that Gongzi called him from Zhenjiang because of King Ning's business?
Pei Qitang's expression was serious, and Wang Fengxi didn't dare to slack off: "I have seen it, at that time, Prince Ning had not yet married, as if he was in a bad mood for something, so he went to King Qing's Mansion as a guest, I still remember that the prince made a slingshot for King Ning, and when the prince discussed with us, King Ning took two small servants to play in the garden for a day." ā
"At that time, King Ning was very crazy, and he often cried non-stop at night, and he didn't like to see the pond...... The prince also told us at the time that King Ning was pitiful and liked a person, but that person drowned in the palace. ā
Pei Qitang frowned slightly, what his father said should be Xu Rujing.
After that, the Queen Mother made the decision and let King Ning marry Han as the princess.
Now Princess Ning sees that she is unable to protect herself, but King Ning does not have any movement, which is a normal performance for a fool.
He wondered why King Ning wanted to hold on to Langhua.
When he was in Western Xia, he mistook Langhua for Xu Rujing, and now even the queen mother has learned about it, and even threatened the Gu family with this.
He always felt that the queen didn't just learn that King Ning recognized Gu Langhua as Xu Rujing this time.
There is one thing, something very important about Langhua is approaching step by step.
At this time, Xu "died" in the prison of the Imperial City Division.
It's all too much of a coincidence.
Someone is calculating Langhua, and this matter is related to the Xu family, Xu Rujing and the Xu family.
He must not be taken lightly.
Pei Qitang looked at Wang Fengxi: "You immediately go back to Hangzhou, go and check the Xu family's mother's family, and see what the Xu family has to do with the Xu family." ā
Wang Fengxi couldn't help but be stunned, how could the son think of it and check this matter.
Pei Qitang couldn't think right, raised his head and looked at Pei Qian: "Where is the master?"
Pei Qian immediately said: "The master has packed his clothes and is ready to leave for Taiyuan tomorrow, and he should be in the lady's room now." ā
Pei Qitang strode out.
ā¦ā¦
Pei Sitong was about to leave again as soon as he returned to Beijing, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about his wife, so he freshened up early and leaned on the head of the bed to prepare to say some heartfelt words to Mrs. Pei.
Unexpectedly, a subordinate voice came from outside: "The fourth master is here." ā
Pei Qitang?
Both husband and wife were shocked.
Especially Mrs. Pei's face changed, and she immediately got up and dressed, she couldn't forget the night more than ten years ago, the old man mysteriously came back from the outside and told him that he had raised an outer room outside, and the outer room was not good, and he was afraid that he would die if he gave birth to a child. The lord begged her to keep it a secret, to raise the child as his own flesh and blood, and vowed never to take a concubine again.
She forgave the master, in order to deceive the wife, she pretended to be pregnant in October, and followed the master to pretend to give birth to the child when he was working outside, the master felt sorry for her, and kept the child outside under the pretext of treating the child.
Although the lord really didn't take a concubine since then, but this matter is still a scar in her heart, in the final analysis, the lord is more interested in this child, in order to give him the status of his sister-in-law, he did not hesitate to deceive the elders in the family, and even carried the reputation of unfilial piety in front of Mrs. Tai.
She saw it all in her eyes, and the eldest child, the second child, and the third child often asked her about the fourth brother, but she didn't know what to say about the child except for a few lies that she had made up a long time ago.
She thought that the days would pass slowly, maybe this matter would eventually fade away, who would have thought that the child not only won the emperor's trust, but also led the troops to win the battle in Yanzhou, captured Li Changxian alive, and the light overwhelmed several of his brothers at once, Mrs. Tai knew such news, and said that she would take him back to the Pei family.
She also thought that this was a good thing, after all, she was the heir of the master, and the master would be happy to be able to come back and recognize her ancestors.
Pei Qitang people are back, but they live alone in the small courtyard in the east, and rarely interact with their families, as if they are separated from the entire Pei family by a mountain.
This is the first time Pei Qitang has taken the initiative to come to her courtyard to see the master.
Mrs. Pei helped Pei Sitong get dressed, and the two of them walked to the hall.
Pei Qitang saluted Pei Sitong and Mrs. Pei.
"Mother," Pei Qitang said to Mrs. Pei, "I want to say a few words to my father. ā
It seems that he is a stubborn person who has encountered difficulties and finally asked for help from the people around him.
Pei Sitong had never seen Pei Qitang like this, and his heart couldn't help but sink: "What's wrong?"
Mrs. Pei was also busy saying: "Your father and son go to the study, and I will let someone bring tea." ā
Pei Qitang bowed down and said, "I'm tired of my mother." ā
"It's okay, don't bother......" Mrs. Pei didn't know what to say, she didn't expect that the atmosphere would be so harmonious when the two of them met, Pei Qitang didn't embarrass her, but was polite and thoughtful.
Pei Stone and Pei Qitang went to the study.
Pei Qitang's face was dark: "Father is going to Taiyuan soon, if the queen's people want to meddle in this case, father can agree to come down for the time being." ā
Pei Sitong thought about it and understood: "It's not difficult, if you want to hit the queen by surprise, I can stabilize them first." ā
This is a business matter, it stands to reason that Pei Qitang can discuss with him again tomorrow, but why did he come to him in such a hurry today, and he looked restless.
"There is one more thing," Pei Qitang said, "I know that my grandmother has a good relationship with the concubine, can I ask my grandmother to go to the concubine's palace often these days to talk and inquire about the situation in the palace, especially some news about the Gu family." ā
Mrs. Pei came in with tea and put it in front of her father and son, and when she heard Pei Qitang's words, she couldn't help but raise her eyes slightly.
Pei Sitong was a little puzzled: "What happened to the Gu family?"
"It's nothing," Pei Qitang said, "I just have some preparations." ā
Inquire about the news and let the chamberlain go, why do you want Mrs. Tai to enter the palace, Pei Sitong is a little puzzled: "I will tell your grandmother." ā
Pei Qitang bowed his head: "I'll go to my grandmother early tomorrow morning to say goodbye." ā
Pei Sitong was surprised, this has never happened.
Pei Qitang grew up alone and was not very good at handling various relationships at home, so he simply did not have close contact with the Pei family.
It just so happens that there are rumors of discord between father and son, and in the eyes of outsiders, it will not be strange if the knot between their father and son has not been opened.
But now, Pei Qitang has taken the initiative to get close to the Pei family, why is this?
Before Pei Sitong could come up with a result, Pei Qitang had already gotten up and said goodbye.
Looking at Pei Sitong with a pensive face, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but say, "Master, what do you think in your heart?"
"What?" Pei Sitong looked at Mrs. Pei blankly.
Mrs. Pei sighed: "What the concubine said is that Qi Tang has taken a fancy to the Gu family. ā
