Chapter Eighty-Seven: Family Affairs

After school in Chongwen Hall the next day, Xuanhui saw Pei Minzhong waiting for him by the flowers at the entrance of the women's school. She deliberately walked past him www.biquge.info but turned around and walked away as soon as she lifted her foot.

Pei Minzhong was a little confused in the back, and seeing that Xuanhui was about to leave the Chongwen Pavilion, he quickly stepped forward and pulled Xuanhui to the flower stand in the Duanjing Palace.

At this time, the people of Duanjing Hall went to the empty building, and only a few palace maids and eunuchs who were sprinkled and cleaned every day were guarded, and often no one was seen.

Xuanhui angrily wanted to shake off Pei Minzhong's hand, but the strength of the two couldn't be compared at all, so she stared at him with wide eyes and asked, "What are you doing?" Let go! ”

Pei Minzhong was afraid that he would hurt her for a while, and he was afraid that she would run away, so he propped up his hands on the flower stand and trapped her in it.

Yuan Xiang and Cai Wei were left behind, and when they saw the two of them in such a situation, they were so anxious that they were in a hurry, afraid that the two of them were joking, and they would be embarrassed to step forward. I'm afraid that if there is a real conflict, it will be even worse if there is a gap in the future.

Pei Minzhong lowered his head and asked Xuanhui: "What's wrong with you?" But what am I making you angry? Tell me, don't be bored by yourself. ”

Xuanhui wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn't get over his face. If you don't ask, your heart is uncomfortable. After a while, she muttered, "Who is that maid who can make fan covers?" ”

"Who?" Pei Min was a little puzzled.

"It's the Dragon Boat Festival, you take me to see the dragon boat, the fan cover with the fan on your body, I said it's very fine. Don't tell me that you bought your stuff on the street, it must have been made by someone around you! Xuanhui had a resentful expression on her face.

It turned out to be for this! Pei Minzhong's hanging heart relaxed, and said with a smile: "That maid's name is Qibi, and it was chosen by the Duchess of Chengguo from among the maids around her and sent to me to the capital to take care of my diet and daily life." She's good at needlework......"

Xuanhui saw that he was still praising the maid, and he was even more angry: "What's the big deal!" My female celebrity is also very good, you don't know! ”

The smile on Pei Minzhong's face became even bigger: "I really don't know this!" Or, princess, you will give Weichen a thing, so that I can open my eyes? ”

Xuan Hui said angrily: "I'm talking about your personal maid!" What are you hitting! ”

Pei Minzhong smiled and said, "If the princess is angry with her, there is no need." She's just a maid, and you're my unmarried wife. Mrs. Tai's purpose in sending her to the capital was not simple, since I found out that her hands and feet were a little unclean, I never let her come close to serve. ”

When Xuanhui saw him say this, most of his anger dissipated, but he was a little confused: "Your grandmother sent you a maid to take care of you, why do you have other plans?" ”

Pei Minzhong's eyes darkened, and he said: "My father is the heir, and my grandparents have passed away a long time ago. My father grew up with the help of the Pei clan and learned martial arts. Later, when his father went to Beijing to participate in the martial arts, the son of the grandfather of the old country, that is, the son of the prince of Chengguo, who was the pioneer, died violently. The first emperor saw that his father had a strategy in his chest, and his skills were not bad, and he was a child of the Pei family in Jinling, so he ordered his father to be the heir of the grandfather of the old country. ”

"As soon as the holy decree of giving my father the son of the world was issued, there was a fold on the Jinling side, saying that the wife of the ancestor was found to be pregnant with a posthumous child."

Xuanhui covered her mouth in shock, Rao is a person in two lives, familiar with history books, and has never heard of this public case. She hesitated and asked, "What then?" ”

Pei Minzhong smiled bitterly: "You have no jokes, where is the reason to withdraw the holy decree that has been issued?" A few months later, Mrs. Xianzizi gave birth to a baby boy. I was only two years old at the time, and my eldest brother was still ......."

Xuanhui didn't know what to say for a while, she always thought that Pei Minzhong was the eldest son, but she didn't expect that there was an older brother who died early.

"After my father returned from the capital, he moved into the Chengguo Mansion with his mother and eldest brother according to the rules. Because my family was poor in the past, my mother could not take care of the two children alone, and I lived in my grandfather's house since I was half a year old. When I moved, I was reluctant to leave, and my father didn't force me again. Two years later, the eldest brother accidentally drowned while playing by the lotus pond...... My father took me into the palace and took me with him every day. ”

"Later, my mother gave birth to a younger sister, and the grandfather of the old country died, and my father officially took over the pro-army of the Chengguo Mansion, so he took me to the barracks."

Xuanhui looked at Pei Minzhong with big eyes, his eyes full of pity. She tugged at his sleeve gently, as if that would soothe him a little.

"I hope I thought about it too much. But Mrs. Tai sent me over, and she liked to inquire about what I was doing, and I was caught reading my letters, all of which could not help but make me speculate about Mrs. Tai's intentions. The reason why I kept her by my side was just because I didn't want to give someone a handle, and I didn't want Mrs. Tai to have more excuses to rectify my mother. ”

The breeze blew warmly, with a bit of autumn warmth, stirring the broken hair in front of Xuanhui's forehead. Pei Minzhong reached out and gently pinned the broken hair behind her ear and took her into his arms.

Xuanhui struggled a few times, and then he was also hugged by him. Pei Min said in a low voice: "Wealth from the sky, is it fortunate or unlucky?" My father and mother have been trapped in it all their lives, and they are a good family. And the eldest brother ......"

Xuanhui felt his pain and was very distressed, so he stretched out his hand to hug him and muttered, "When we have our home, everything will be fine." ”

A few days later, Liang Zan sent a letter from Xuzhou to report his safety. He said that they had settled down, the mansion was very spacious and comfortable, and Yang Yunshu was very good, and there was no discomfort except for some fatigue along the way. In the letter to Xuanhui, Liang Zan also said that he had begun to send people to inquire about Wen Po and pediatrician doctors in Xuzhou, and began to choose nurses for his children again. Although there is still half a year to reach the delivery period, Liang Zan seems to be already in a tight position.

Xuan Hui took the letter and went to find Pei Minzhong to laugh at Liang Zhan. looked around, but found that he didn't come at all, and after inquiring, Xuanhui knew that something big had happened in the court.

It turned out that early yesterday morning, someone ran into the Dengwen Drum Courtyard on the west side of the south gate of the imperial city in embarrassment, beating drums and shouting grievances. Under the questioning of an official of the department, the man said that he was the servant of Bai Jue, who went to the northwest for disaster relief, and said that Bai Jue had died at the hands of the magistrate!

The messenger guarding the Dengwen Drum Courtyard felt that this matter was not trivial, and hurriedly reported it, and finally presented it to Emperor Yuan He. He couldn't believe it, and personally interrogated Bai Jue's domestic servant. It turned out that after Bai Jue arrived in the northwest, according to the pre-orders of Emperor Yuanhe, he presided over the affairs of opening warehouses and releasing grain. After his inspection, he found that most of the granaries were in deficit, and the deficit was huge, up to half of the grain stored on the books!

When the local officials saw that the matter was revealed, they wanted to bribe Bai Jue and tried to drag him into the water. Gold, silver, jewelry, beautiful women and antiques were sent to the post house like a stream. can be a white person, such an act will not only have no effect, but will also add a degree to the guilt of these officials. After checking the surplus grain and deficit in the granaries of Xi'an and Hanzhong, he wrote a report. It's just that before the fold was sent out, Bai Jue hanged himself in the post house for some reason. (To be continued.) )
