Chapter 223: Suffering in the Bitter Temper
Seeing that it was Songhua egg and soy sauce, the two most profitable recipes in the family, Pei Qian was panicked and painful, "Eldest sister!?" "What Wen Dong said, what he has done these days, must have made the eldest sister cold and disappointed, so the eldest sister gave Wen Dong the most profitable recipe in the family, is this not going to take care of Wen Dong anymore, and no longer care about them!?
Pei Qian was resolutely opposed, "We didn't ask for these two recipes, and giving them to him now is equivalent to sending them to that slut!" They are uneasy and kind, and you are still stupid to give them the recipe!? ”
"Ann is not well-intentioned, just rely on your words!? It's not a brain! Pei Qin glanced at her coldly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Eldest sister..." Pei Qian was about to say more, but was interrupted by Mo Heng's cold eyes.
Mo Heng's eyes fell on Pei Wendong, "Your parents and parents can't rely on them for a lifetime, and you can't always rely on your eldest sister for everything." Now after the war, it is the time to wait for a hundred wastes, and you also go out to make your own adventures. ”
Pei Wendong looked at his eyes as cold as Gutan, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. The eldest brother-in-law asked him to see the plaque outside, did he want to let him out for a long time!?
"Eldest sister! Then you don't need to give them two prescriptions, you don't have anything left in your hand. Pei Qian said with red eyes.
"I still have the annual dividends of the ice shop, as well as the money, your eldest brother-in-law can also earn money, and there will be no shortage of money in his hands." Pei Qin said.
Oh, yes! The eldest sister is not only the eldest sister who makes money in business and earns the family business, she is also a legendary general in the artillery camp, and she has a fortune. Pei Wendong came out of the inner courtyard, looking at Xie Yi's eyes were red, Chu Chu's weak appearance, and suddenly thought of what he said to let Xie Yi be the eldest sister's left and right hand, he didn't think much about it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he feels ashamed.
He is now separated, self-made, and has nothing but Fang Zi and a hundred taels of silver, can Xie Yi and she work hard with her?
Looking at the scrutiny, suspicion and distrust in his eyes, Xie Yi's body stiffened, and he stepped forward quickly, "Brother Wendong!" ”
Pei Wendong took the silver bag and two prescriptions in his hand and said, "In the future, I will go out and start from scratch, you and Xie Ze..." "It is even more impossible for them to stay in the General's Palace. Seeing Xie Yi looking at him with red eyes, he asked her, "You and Xie Ze, where do you want to go?" ”
"I'm with Brother Wendong!" Xie Yi said with tears in his eyes.
"I don't even have a place to live now, you will only suffer with me." Pei Wendong smiled bitterly.
"I'm not afraid!" Xie Yi cried and shook his head.
Pei Wendong confirmed again, they were willing to join him, and nodded, "Then you guys clean up first, and I'll go out to find a house." ”
"Good!" Xie Yi nodded, packed his luggage at home, and waited for him.
There are only one hundred taels of silver in his hand, and in the future, he will make Songhua eggs and make soy sauce and open a workshop, which will cost a lot of capital, in order to save a little, Pei Wendong only went to a remote place on the edge of the city to find a small courtyard, four main rooms, two east and west wings, which is enough to live. I paid the rent and rented the small courtyard.
In the evening, everyone ate together, and there was no longer the joy and excitement of the past.
Xie Yi was very uncomfortable, Xie Ze looked at Mo Heng, Fang Liuming and Zhao Xiaochen on the seat, all of them were extraordinary, and they didn't dare to say anything.
It was Jiu'er and Xi'er who were happy to eat barbecue, Xiao Yong sat on the side, responsible for roasting three small radishes, and occasionally roasting some mutton for Pei Qin.
Pei Wendong saw him serving by the eldest sister's side, and his heart was unbearable. His younger brother doesn't have Xiao Yong to the eldest sister, right? That's why the eldest sister doesn't like him anymore, she doesn't want him anymore, she wants him to go out and start from scratch!?
It's a very unpleasant meal.
After eating, Mo Heng directly let go and took Pei Qin and Jiu'er Xi'er back to the inner courtyard to rest.
Before Pei Qian left, she looked at Xie Yi's eyes like knives. If she hadn't been uneasy and kind enough to live in their house, the eldest sister wouldn't have let Wendong go out and start a house from scratch! There are also those two prescriptions, "We only have these two most profitable ones, put them in your hands, see how long you can keep them, let others cheat and steal them!" ”
Pei Wendong opened his mouth to think about something, but closed it weakly.
Pei Qian looked at Xie Yi and Xie Ze warningly, "If you dare to have any ideas, let me know, without others doing it, I will let you be ruined, life is better than death!" ”
"You..." Xie Ze glared angrily.
Xie Yi hurriedly grabbed him.
"What are you! Don't say that Wendong wants to marry your sister in the future, now she hasn't married into the door, she is not the daughter-in-law of our Pei family, so she eats and lives in our house, and she also brings you with you, you are not qualified to eat and live in our family! There is no shame in eating and living in vain, and you are arrogant, who do you think you are? How old are we in our family? The refugees are not as thick-skinned as you! Pei Qian replied unrelentingly.
Xie Zeqi's face turned blue, and his chest rose and fell with anger.
"Third sister, don't say it." Pei Wendong spoke up.
"Good! I won't say, I'll see what you can do! Pei Qian put down the words, snorted angrily and turned to leave.
Fang Liuming now understands the ins and outs of the matter, and looks at Pei Wendong's eyes with pity, "Wendong, you..." Do your best! I wanted to say it for myself, but when I came to his mouth, I saw his faintly pale face, and changed my mouth again. patted him on the shoulder and chased Pei Qian out quickly.
Zhao Xiaochen didn't know what to say about him, and patted him on the shoulder silently.
Pei Qian looked at his tall figure, delicate face, and tears in his eyes, "Wendong!" The eldest sister is to hone you, not to ignore you completely. If you get married in the future, you will also have to open a house, and you can't always follow the eldest sister. ”
"I know." Pei Wendong hung his head and nodded.
"Although you live far away, you have to come to see the eldest sister often in the future, the eldest sister has broken her heart and has to recuperate for a long time and can't go out. If you have anything to do in the future, come to me. Pei Qian raised her hand and touched his head.
Pei Wendong couldn't help but have sour eyes, and tears fell, "I will!" ”
Pei Qian had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say when she opened her mouth, so she had to leave with Zhao Xiaochen.
And Xiao Yong only dropped one sentence, "The time has come to witness your sharing of weal and woe!" He turned around and went into his room to rest.
Pei Wendong suddenly felt as if he had betrayed his relatives and left, there was no one around him, and all the closest people had left him.
"Brother Wendong..." Xie Yi wanted to talk to him.
"Go back to the house and sleep! We'll move there tomorrow morning. Pei Wendong didn't want to say anything, and entered the house a little blankly.
Xie Yi bit her lip, in this way, she has become a sinner, so how much affection can she have in Pei Wendong's heart!?
Xie Ze always thought that Pei Qin deliberately forced their sister and brother away, playing such a self-made method, and he was angry and unbearable, but he couldn't blame him. He also understood in his heart that it was inappropriate for them to live here now, but he also firmly believed in his heart that their Xie family's property was going to be returned and would be distributed to Pei Wendong, and they didn't eat and drink for nothing at all, so they fought against Pei Qian aggressively, and were angry at the subordinates in the family.
Coming to this point, Xie Ze was not only angry and angry at Pei Qin's persecution, but also afraid and unwilling. I'm afraid that Pei Wendong has nothing, they really have to live a life of eating bran vegetables; I am afraid that without Pei Qin and Mo Heng, Pei Wendong will have no power, or he will return to their Xie family's property. was kicked out like this, which made him feel humiliated and unwilling.
Pei Qin looked at the bed tent and sighed.
Mo Heng slept outside her, didn't cover anything, wrapped her in a quilt, and even held the quilt in her arms. Listening to her sigh, he hugged her tightly, "My own child will leave the nest in the future." ”
"That said, after all, it's a radish that I raised." Pei Qin didn't really have a heart, liver and lungs, and didn't feel the feelings.
Mo Heng leaned closer and kissed her ear, "Jiu'er Xi'er will also marry in the future." Only the two of us can be together for the rest of our lives until we die, so we must love me more in the future. Those who don't need to pay more attention to it, and let him experience the happiness of her whole body and mind in him.
Pei Qin couldn't help but glance at him, "Maybe you will die early, and the one who will accompany me until I am old to death, maybe who it is!" ”
Mo Heng lifted the quilt from her body.
"What are you doing! Cold! Pei Qin glared.
He suddenly covered his body, grinding his teeth close to her face, "My heart is colder, we are warm together!" ”
"Uh-huh..." Pei Qin was kissed by him, and he couldn't even breathe through his nose and mouth, and he wanted to kick him out of bed, but he couldn't move.
When he was recuperating from his injuries, he kissed her every day and then went to sleep. When her injuries healed, her true nature was revealed. The first few times she was only rubbing outside, but now she can't escape from this posture.
Mo Heng didn't dare to toss her hard, but he didn't have to think about letting her go, he put his movements to the softest and restrained to her.
The next day, Pei Wendong was about to move out, but Pei Qin couldn't get up from sleep.
Fang Lao Xiucai and Mrs. Fang, Yu also only learned the news last night, and rushed over early in the morning, listening to Mo Heng say that Pei Wendong should go out to open a mansion when he is older, but he couldn't say anything from the side. After all, Pei Qin is a person who got married, and he could still say that Pei Wendong was young, but now he is fifteen years old, and it is time to start a family. If he wanted to say that he would be cheated out of his family property by Xie Yi, he only gave one hundred taels of silver and two squares. Xie Yi wants to be able to share weal and woe and start from scratch, which is naturally good. If you can't, you won't be able to take away the Pei family's wealth.
It's just that I heard that Pei Qin was still asleep and didn't get up, and I thought that Pei Wendong had done something to disappoint Pei Qin, so he didn't get up!?
Pei Qin didn't come forward, but Mo Heng did, and everyone followed Pei Wendong to the small courtyard he rented in the west of the city.
Xie Ze didn't come yesterday, but when he came over today, he looked at the lives of poor people around him, his face was already a little bad, and this side was a lot farther away from where he studied.
Pei Wendong had already rolled up his sleeves and started to clean up, "I cleaned it before and it was very clean, but I just cleaned it again when I lived by myself, and I lived with peace of mind." ”
The courtyard is not small, but there are no furnishings in the house, and the furniture is very shabby, revealing a shabby.
Xie Yi watched, and was busy to help.
Pei Qian sighed and ordered the people brought to help clean up.
I also bought some rice oil noodles in the kitchen.
I packed up a few rooms, and it was almost noon.
Huang Qiu came over with two small servants and a few food boxes, "Madam woke up, she had to come over, but the slave saw that the master's complexion was not good, so she stopped her." These food boxes were sent by the lady to the slaves. ”
It was full of various dishes, and it was taken out and set up on a table.
"Cook another pot of hot soup and eat it!" Fang Lao Xiucai sighed.
Mo Heng nodded, but didn't stay, "I'll go home and have a look." ”
"I'm also going back to eat with Sister Qin." Xiao Yong also greeted and left.
Pei Qian disdained to share the table with Xie Yi, only came over to take a look, made a sarcastic pause, and left.
Pei Qian stayed, accompanied by Fang Lao Xiucai and Fang's mother-in-law Yu, and finished the meal quietly.
There were not a few rooms, Pei Qian brought people, Zhang Gengshan also brought people to work, all of them were settled, and before leaving, Zhang Gengshan left a guard for Pei Wendong, "Madame is not worried about Young Master Pei, let Lu Hua follow Young Master Pei to protect Young Master Pei's safety in the future." ”
Pei Wendong's eyes were hot, he nodded, thanked Zhang Gengshan, and accepted Lu Hua.
When Fang Lao Xiucai and they were all gone, there were only a few of them left, and the small courtyard suddenly became empty and quiet.
The things on the surface have been cleaned up, but the details in the personal room have not been cleaned up, Pei Wendong asked Xie Yi and Xie Ze sisters and brothers to choose a room to live in.
Xie Yi didn't pick the main room, but chose the west room.
"There are still people in the family, you can live in the west room of the main house!" Pei Wendong lives in the east room.
Xie Yi opened his mouth and responded softly, and Xie Ze stopped on the west side.
When the three of them have set up the house, it will not be early.
Pei Wendong said that he would buy a mother-in-law who did rough work tomorrow and come back, so he would make do with it himself.
Xie Yi said that she went to cook, but she didn't know how to light the fire.
Or Pei Wendong came over to help, and it wasn't like that to see her cooking, so that the little guy Sanshun looked at the fire, and he washed his hands and stir-fried the vegetables.
"The gentleman is far away from cooking! Brother Wendong, you.... Xie Yi looked at him with wide eyes.
"Knowing etiquette and knowing etiquette, knowing honor and disgrace when food and clothing are sufficient." Pei Wendong suddenly remembered what the eldest sister said, he was not very old at that time, but he really remembered such a sentence. Just like those fleeing people and begging beggars, even food and clothing are a problem, what etiquette and honor and shame are there!?
Xie Yi couldn't help but blush a little and felt ashamed.
Xie Ze felt that Pei Wendong could buy someone, but let his sister cook and do laundry, is this going to use his sister as an old mother in the future!? Pei Qin also said that it was not intentional, it was clearly bullying and persecuting them!
I cooked a meal for a few people, lit the lamp at night, and sat together eating dishes that were obviously much worse than the general's mansion, with different thoughts.
In a strange place, I didn't sleep well all night after tossing and turning, and Pei Wendong, who finally fell asleep, dreamed. From childhood to adulthood, after his mother's death, he never dreamed of his mother once. The third sister often muttered, her mother only had the eldest sister in her heart, and without the three of them, he could also feel it, and her mother was a little different from the eldest sister, because the eldest sister was born to her mother and father, and the three of them were born at the same time. So after his mother died, he never entered his dreams.
This night, he finally dreamed of his mother for the first time, not a word, just such sad eyes came to look at him. He opened his mouth and wanted to confide in his mother about the things he had made his eldest sister sad and was separated, but he couldn't open his mouth.
When I woke up, my eyes were cold. Pei Wendong lay quietly and didn't want to get up. I don't want to practice martial arts, I don't want to practice calligraphy, and I don't want to study.
Xie Yi was tired for most of the day yesterday, and she got up late today, so she hurriedly cleaned up and went to the kitchen to cook, and asked Sanshun to help her light the fire.
Xie Ze stood in the courtyard dissatisfied.
Listening to the movement outside, Pei Wendong really wanted to be negative, so he didn't care about it and didn't ask.
Xie Ze came over and called him, "Brother Wendong! My sister is cooking! ”
Listening to the strong dissatisfaction in his words, Pei Wendong closed his eyes, took a breath, and got up, "Sorry, I overslept." ”
On the table, there was japonica rice porridge, a plate of pickles and fried meat, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of hot and sour cabbage, a plate of tofu, and a basket of steamed buns.
There are no more delicate and hearty steamed dumplings, steamed dumplings, pancakes, soy milk and all kinds of delicious side dishes.
Xie Yi said apologetically that he would only do simple things, "I'll learn the others soon." ”
"I should hire a cook at home and buy a few people who do rough work, I can't let my sister do all these rough jobs in the future!" Xie Ze said dissatisfied.
Xie Yi kicked him, they now rely on Pei Wendong for food and housing, in this extraordinary period, if they can't suffer with him, this affection will also be worn away. When he was in high school, there would be no more of her in the house.
Pei Wendong looked at Xie Yi, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"I'm not bitter! If you have to endure hardship, you will become a superior person. I am willing to endure hardships with Brother Wendong! Xie Yi said with a smile.
Xie Ze suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
After the meal, Pei Wendong went to find people and wanted to buy two mothers-in-law to do rough work, passing by the grain and oil store only to find that the price of food had risen again, and the price of the next person was cheap, as long as it was food, all the prices increased, and others could be accommodated, but people could not skip eating. The price of food has risen, not to mention meat and eggs.
After thinking about it, Pei Wendong only bought a mother-in-law to go back, "I cook and wash these things on weekdays, and Sanshun and Lu Hua do the chores next to me." ”
Mrs. Liu responded, it was strange that it was Young Master Pei who bought her, why did Miss Xie and Master Xie live in the house?
Pei Wendong was afraid that she would go out and talk nonsense, so he directly asked Sanshun to tell her about his relationship with Xie Yi, and let her work and serve at home in a proper manner, otherwise she would be sold to the mountains.
Mrs. Liu then understood, and she was busy and went to work in the kitchen.
It's just that her cooking skills are good, but she can only cook some home-cooked dishes, which is not a little different from the chef Mo Heng specially found, and the same dishes are made with a lot of taste.
Xie Ze didn't have much pocket money, let alone new clothes for the season.
Knowing that there was no money at home, when Sanshun dried Pei Wendong's clothes, he picked up some clothes that Pei Wendong didn't wear much, and he was reluctant to throw them away.
Xie Yi asked her to help and changed two sets of clothes for Xie Ze.
Xie Ze didn't want to wear them, he had never worn other people's old clothes, "Brother Wendong, there are so many boxes of clothes, we should also buy a few clothes to wear!" ”
Pei Wendong's clothes were all purchased by Pei Qin and Pei Qian Pei Qian before, and there were new ones every season, so he saved a few boxes.
Xie Yi also felt sorry for him, and pulled him to persuade him, "When we get our family property back, my sister will buy you a few boxes!" Let's be bitter now! ”
I didn't think of her. Xie Ze felt even more aggrieved. When will such a hard life end!?
Xie Yi didn't dare to complain, now the family's livelihood is on Pei Wendong, he has to prepare for the autumn festival this year and take the big exam, if it is delayed, it will only be three more years.
Pei Qin didn't have to let Pei Wendong pass the exam, "If you don't pass the exam, you will take the exam again next time." If you don't have enough experience, how can you have the ability to be a politician! "Pei Wendong, the mind needs to be tempered. Otherwise, if you enter the officialdom, you will only die!
Now that the imperial court is in the Qingcha Household Department, more than half of the officials of the entire household department have been implicated, and the head of the prince has been investigated, and Xiao Guangmin has been banned from the East Palace.
Xiao Guangjue opened an investigation on this matter long before the tile spur entered the pass, but there was no suitable opportunity, and he caught up with the tile spur to enter the pass and started the war, which has been delayed until now. Now that the father and emperor have personally decreed to rectify the rule of officials, the treasury is empty, and the first thing to check is the household department, and the prince can't hide now. At this critical juncture, if something like this happens, you must pull him off the horse!
He raised the army's salaries, grain and grass, and handed the army into the hands of his uncle and Mo Heng, and he had the power to fight, so he was closer to that position!
It's just that the prince has also been the prince for many years, and with the support of King Yongan and some old ministers, it is not easy to abolish the prince. Xiao Guangjun did not use Mo Heng's method to slowly figure it out, but discussed with his staff, and gave Xiao Guangmin a specific charge, preferably so big that he was sent to prison and never came out again!
The only thing that can kill the prince of a country is rebellion and treason. Such a crime is not easy to press. Because he is already the crown prince, the emperor is the queen of heaven, he is on the throne, he just needs to wait, there is no need to rebel. And the treason of the enemy is not to mention, after ascending the throne, the entire Great Chu country is his, and it is impossible for him to be sick and treason.
After thinking about it, Xiao Guangxuan felt that it was better to find Mo Heng.
Mo Heng came out to see him, listened to him ask about the method, looked at his radical appearance, and did not admonish, "Rebellion and treason are possible for others, but they are impossible for the prince." ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Guangjue asked him. He wanted to see what else Mo Heng could help him come up with.
Mo Heng pursed his lips coldly and said, "But there is one thing that makes the emperor hate him to the core, and he regards it as a great shame." ”
"Minami Hunting!?" Xiao Guangjue was surprised.
Mo Heng nodded. Emperor Chu Wen abandoned the city to hunt in the south, he didn't agree with it at that time, but he was persuaded by the minister to go south, and this matter also became a hate that Emperor Chu Wen could never get over in his heart, "What if the mastermind of this matter is the prince?" Even if there is no conclusive evidence. ”
Xiao Guangjue's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and a happy smile appeared on his feminine face, "Even if there is no conclusive evidence, my father will be disgusted with this prince, as long as someone mentions the deposition of the prince, he will no longer object." ”
Mo Heng arched his hand, "The prince still needs to deploy as soon as possible." ”
"Rest assured. I have already worked the issue of military salaries and grain and grass, and you will inevitably be there to lead the troops this time, and you will just hold the military power in your hands when the time comes. Xiao Guangjue smiled. Everything was going where he wanted it to be. Speaking of leading troops, Xiao Guangjue thought of Pei Qin again, not only was he glad that he was also very good to Pei Qin before, and he won them over as husband and wife, and now they can be used by him.
He also expressed his concern for Pei Qin's condition to Mo Heng, said a few words to Jiu'er, and told Mo Heng that he had not forgotten what he had promised, and Jiu'er would be the life of the Flying Phoenix in the future, and he would send Mo Heng away. Xiao Guangxuan quietly arrived in the small nunnery, "Jinhua..." ”
