Hedong County.

In the past few years, wars have raged everywhere, and the thieves in Baibo Valley have also disturbed the border counties, but no one in the county dares to send troops to suppress the thieves. The strength of the Baibo Valley thieves during the Yellow Turban was obvious to all, and the Xiongnu invaded Mengjin in the north, and in those days, the Baibo thieves were almost synonymous with terror in the Hedong generation. The Yellow Turban was pacified, and the army of white wave thieves returned to the valley, although they occasionally plundered the surrounding counties but they also converged a lot, not to mention that their strength was not greatly damaged, and the counties alone were unable to organize a large army to quell the thieves.

Now it is the season of spring flowers, Pei's riding slave galloped all the way to Wubao, turned around the pavilion all the time, and ran to the front of the eldest prince Pei Qian.

"The eldest son, the lord's letter."

Pei Qian put down the scroll and got up in the courtyard, the maid next to him put a brocade robe on his shoulder, took the letter, looked up and asked the riding slave who reported the news, "Does my father have anything to bring to me?" ”

The riding slave shook his head and said, "The lord let you decide for yourself after reading the letter." ”

With his head bowed, Pei Qian waved his hand and said, "It's hard work, go down." ”

After riding the slave salute, he was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Pei Qian.

After opening the letter but looking at it, Pei Qian said, "Wait, wait a while before leaving." ”

The rider fork hand agreed, stood aside, and waited for Pei Qian's order.

After reading the letter, Pei Qian let out a long breath and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Go, call a few sons other than Xiao Wu." ”

Pei Mao is still too guarded, it is not convenient to travel to and from the county, the eldest son Qian is twenty-seven years old, in recent years, Pei's and Liangzhou's foreign affairs are in charge of his hands, as the eldest son, Pei Mao is not in Hedong, he is the parent.

This letter from afar is the father Pei Mao from Hexi County, the date of the letter is five days ago, Ma Yue appointed Jing Zhaoyin, Jing Zhaoyin has been set aside The news is news that the DPRK does not need to say, Pei Mao thinks that Ma Yue may come to the Pei clan to invite the children of the clan to come out, if he comes, let Pei Qian make his own decision.

"Father still can't forgive Ma Saburo......"

Pei Qian sighed lightly, at the wedding of the little sister, he had met Ma Yue, and he was also scolded by Ma Yue...... In the blink of an eye, for a few years, he has heard the news of Ma Yue's service to the country intermittently, and he still has a little difficulty letting go of the man who indirectly harmed his little sister.

If it weren't for his father's thousands of miles of biography, he would not have sent any of his clansmen to serve Ma Yue. Even if Ma Yue really sent a message, he wouldn't have looked at it.

Even if Ma Yue avenged his little sister back then, is this enough?

In the final analysis, the marriage back then was just a kiss, and the Pei family didn't look down on the barbarian who was good at drilling.

But today, Pei Qian has to sit down and think about it. The barbarian who everyone looked down on back then has now gained a foothold in the court, and he has not been to Hedong for so many years, and the hearts of the Pei people are still a little empty except for a faint hatred.

They waited for the brute to come and beg them for something, and then to wipe him off.

On the eve of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Pei Qian received the news that he was standing behind the gate of the mansion and playing against his second brother for three days, and waited for the news that Ma Yue had captured the thief leader Ma Yuanyi in the county and was promoted to the captain of Changshui to lead the army.

The battle report drifted to Luoyang like snowflakes, and the news was carried by the riders who kept coming and going with Mercedes to and fro, Changshui Captain Jizhou was the first meritorious, Changshui Captain returned to Luo to recruit soldiers, Changshui Captain went to Yanzhou, Changshui Captain ......

Endlessly, Ma Yue's name is always hung in people's mouths, and people come and go to Pei's good news, in fact, everyone knows that they are just here to talk to Pei's.

The news brought to Pei's family was not just as simple as his son-in-law's meritorious service.

Every time I heard about this man, it increased the sadness of the loss of relatives of the Pei people.

I heard that he had become stupid, and he used the position of the counselor doctor asked by the eunuch to buy the official position of Jiuqing in the court in order to compete with the eunuch for power, just to collect wood and stone.

Four years ago, in a fit of rage, he led 300 tigers and wolves to break the camp to kill the handsome and assassinated the king of Qiang, what happened now?

If it weren't for Xiaomei's incident, with Pei's help, he should have been able to do better......

"Brother, are you looking for me?"

Coughing slightly, Pei Qian came back to his senses from his memory, and saw his second brother Pei Hui Pei Wenxiu standing beside him respectfully, Pei Hui was one year younger than Pei Qian, and Pei Qian's half-mother was the eldest son, and he studied under Jia Xi, a famous scholar in Xiangling, Hedong, who had traveled and Liang before the Liangzhou rebellion, and did not go out after returning to Hedong, and had been in charge of the salt and iron business shared with the Hedong Wei family for four years.

Because of its proximity, he was the first to return.

"Wenxiu, sit."

Pei Hui still had a little sweat on his forehead, and the hem of his shirt was also a little muddy, so it could be seen that he had received the news from the servant and galloped all the way. When he sat down, Pei Qian's hand patted the letter sent by his father on the Qingshi case, and asked Pei Hui, "Ma Yue, what do you think?" ”

Ma Yue!

Looking at Pei Hui's widening eyes, Pei Qian nodded and said, "As you think, it's him, what do you think?" ”

"From a humble background, it's not easy to ......get to his point" Pei Hui nodded lightly, he knew that something must have happened to make Pei Qian mention this name that was almost taboo in the clan, and asked rhetorically: "Brother should know Ma Yue better than Hui, why did he suddenly ask him?" ”

"Ma Sanlang is now Jing Zhaoyin, and his father wrote that Jing Zhaoyin was elevated and no one was available, let me make an idea, see if you want to help him." Pei Qian shook his head slightly, he didn't know what to say about this matter, and asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

Pei Hui looked down at the elder brother who was sitting upright, was stunned for a long time, smiled, and said, "Brother, let me go with Xiao Xuan'er." ”

Xiao Wan'er is Pei Hui's second brother of the same parents, named Pei Juan, and Pei Hui is generally a concubine.

Pei Qian looked up and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Pei Hui nodded and did not speak. Although the father spared no effort in cultivating their two brothers, in the final analysis, it was the elder brother in front of him who inherited the family business or the title in the future, and it was not the turn of the two brothers. It's not that Pei Hui is too utilitarian in his heart, it's just that there are so many resources in the family, and most of them must be used for his lineage, which young man doesn't want to become famous?

In Hedong, I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete my ideas in this life, so why not start anew?

Pei Qian's head was bowed, and he couldn't say a word in his throat. Perhaps, the second brother in front of him inherited the family better. Maybe most of the descendants are not as highly motivated as the children of the concubine, this is the case when they are young, the knowledge at home is almost the same, Pei Qian chooses to contact the external affairs of the family, but Pei Hui of the concubine went to Xiangling to continue studying. Adults only think that Pei Er likes to read, and Pei Qian, who has lived together since childhood, knows his brother better, and Pei Wenxiu's heart will always burn with a fire.

"Wenxiu, in fact, I want you to stay at home. But if you must go, then go and pack your bags, the family, and help him. ”
