Prime Minister Tong left Lianzhu Pavilion and returned to his outer study. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He has been thinking about his daughter's words. The clash of reason and emotion disturbed his heart, and also made the atmosphere of the entire outer study tense and anxious.

At dinner time, Xiaocui, the maid of the main courtyard, knocked on the door and walked in, and reported to Prime Minister Tong Cheng: "Xiangye, Mrs. has prepared dinner, please go over and have dinner together." ”

Prime Minister Tong was depressed and didn't want to go back to the inner house. But thinking that these are still children's family affairs after all, I always have to tell my wife. He got up and walked to the inner house.

The evening breeze blows gently, taking away the heat of the day. It's already the season of August, and Prime Minister Tong looks at the bright moon in the sky that is about to turn round, and his heart is full of mixed feelings. If all this hadn't happened at the beginning, would he have already flown with Qiuxi and his children by now? Now a good pair of children, if they can't stay by their side, how can they be embarrassed?

At this time, in the main courtyard, Pei's family asked someone to arrange a table of banquets early, just waiting for her husband to return.

Pei Shi listened to her son's words during the day and kept planning, but she was really not sure about persuading her husband at all.

Long before she got married, she knew about her husband and the woman. For so many years, the husband has not been able to let go of that woman, and even fantasizes about being able to take that woman back. Fortunately, the woman went early, and she had a peaceful birthday all these years.

And now, a pair of the woman's sons and daughters suddenly appeared, and they harmed her own daughter, not to mention, and came to rob her son of everything. Pei pinched his eyebrows, annoyed, and complained deeply about the injustice of fate.

At this moment, Prime Minister Tong came in with a curtain. Pei Shi hurriedly stepped forward to catch her husband, forced an unnatural smile, and said to her husband: "Why did Xiangye come back so late, the dishes are about to be cold." ”

Tong Cheng was kind to his old wife, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked, "How did you do so much?" ”

Pei Shi said with a smile: "Xiangye works hard every day, not to mention the hard work, there is a problem with a bitter summer, look at your body has lost weight." The concubine has prepared some refreshing and warm dishes, can Xiangye taste it smoothly? ”

Prime Minister Tong washed his hands with the water brought by the maid, and sat on the main seat. Pei Shi accompanied the smiling face, and the diligent cloth vegetables served the soup.

Prime Minister Tong Cheng was very disgusted when he saw her being courteous and attentive. He looked at her irritably and said, "What are you doing here?" Still not sitting down to eat? ”

Pei Shi smiled a little stiffly, sat down sneeringly, picked up chopsticks and began to count the grains of rice.

Prime Minister Tong couldn't see that she had something on her mind, so he simply put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong with you today?" If there's anything to say, it's straightforward. These false courtesies are suspicious. Tell me what the hell is going on. ”

Pei Shi didn't think that her husband would ask directly, and she didn't say it for a long time, until her husband was a little impatient, and then gritted his teeth and said, "I heard...... I heard that Xifeng's brother is still alive, but is it true? ”

When Tong Cheng saw her talk about this, his face warmed up, and he said with some relief: "Ah, I didn't expect my Tong Qishan to have such a blessing, I am old, and I suddenly have a pair of children." ”

Seeing Prime Minister Tong's happy expression, Pei's words that had been brewing all afternoon choked in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.

When Prime Minister Tong mentioned these two children, he was happy in his heart, and he wanted to share the joy of being a father with others, so he couldn't help but say a few more words: "This is the husband's first pair of children, but I didn't expect that without the old man's knowledge, they would have grown up." ”

When Prime Minister Tong mentioned his children, he was stunned, and after a while, he picked up the chopsticks and said while eating: "I heard that the child looks very similar to Feng'er." Hehe, when he fought against Cui Youdao in the court, he forced the old thief to show his original form. I heard that he fought for a good degree and what he said was reasonable, and many people praised him! ”

The more Pei Shi listened, the more frightened he became, how could her husband give up such a good impression of the child? But for Xiu'er, for their mother and son to keep everything now, she had to ask in a low voice, "Xiangye wants that child to come back?" ”

When Prime Minister Tong heard her ask this, he said, "Of course the old man wants him to come back too." Since he is the old man's child, he naturally wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, how can he be left behind? It's just that...... The old man hadn't seen him yet, so he had to ask him what he meant. ”

When Pei Shi heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Xiangye, no matter how good that child is, he is also a member of the Jiang family, and the emperor has decreed that he will inherit the Jiang family's family business." If he is allowed to come back, won't everyone know what happened back then? That will greatly affect your official reputation, if you can't get it and be reprimanded by the emperor again, how can you have to compensate for the loss? ”

Prime Minister Tong was also anxious when he heard this, and said angrily: "What are you talking about, what do you mean by more than worth the loss?" That's the old man's son, which is more important than the son and the official voice? ”

Pei Shi was startled, knowing that it was his own speech, and hurriedly explained: "The concubine body doesn't mean that." The concubine said that since the child had gone to the Jiang family, it was also a good thing, and he was the descendant of the Jiang family after all. As for his relationship with Xiangye, it is better for the concubine to persuade Xiangye to be cautious, after all, Jiang Qiuxi has been dead for many years, and it is difficult to verify what the child's life experience is. ”

This is a statement that Pei Shi came up with after pondering for an afternoon, so that Xiang Ye first had doubts about the child's life experience, and then it was much more convenient to persuade others.

How Cheng thought, when Prime Minister Tong heard her say such things, he immediately said angrily: "You ignorant and stupid woman, you actually said such a thing? Qiu Xi is a famous lady, how can you slander at will? If it weren't for that kind of thing that happened in her family at the beginning, she would have been my wife by now, where would it be your turn? With that, he dropped his chopsticks and left.

Pei Shi was stunned on the spot when he was scolded, and he couldn't speak for a long time. It wasn't until everyone was far away that she cried "wow".

Mama Rong and the others hurriedly stepped forward to persuade. But if this husband and wife quarrel, how can they be persuaded in a few words?

Pei Shi lay on the table and cried until he was in a daze.

Tong Cheng left the main courtyard and came all the way to the lotus pond. It was the first time he had made such a big fuss at Pei's family.

Looking at a pool of lotus leaves and lotus flowers blooming a little bit, Prime Minister Tong's chaotic heart calmed down a little.

Over the years, he has been thinking, if he hadn't had a relationship with Qiu Xi, wouldn't Qiu Xi have been sent away? Or if he was a little stronger and came back directly, his Qiuxi would not disappear.

Perhaps it was because of the feelings that he couldn't ask for it, which made Jiang Qiuxi's image in his mind more and more holy and undesecrated.

The words that Pei Shi just said were like sticking a knife in his heart, how could he endure it? Suddenly, Prime Minister Tong felt that Pei's face was hateful, and he thought to himself, how could he have lived with such a person for so many years?

Prime Minister Tong suddenly felt that he was very pathetic, his beloved woman couldn't ask for it, and his distressed children couldn't recognize him, even if he had great power and money, how could he fill the regrets and vacancies in his heart?

He looked up at the vast starry sky and said to himself, "Qiuxi, where are you?" Do you know my pain over the years? Do you know what I'm reluctant to do now? Without you, without you, what is the meaning of my life? ”
