Pei Xi smiled, unceremoniously accepted this compliment, and said with great interest: "Since this is the case, I will order to go down and put Sun Daochang in prison." 『』”

Qin Ke was stunned, almost suspecting that he had misheard: "Thrown into prison? ”

"Being too attentive will only breed the arrogance of the other party, not to mention that there is an unconscious guy here. Presumably, Da Langjun is not interested in being raised by a guy who can't tell the difference between good and bad, and looks at his cold face every day, right? Pei Xi said lightly, "The people sue the officials, like the son suing the father, and the servants of Sun Daochang vainly tried to assassinate me, and just put them in prison, it is already a very cheap thing." ”

People, it's often like this, others are kind to you, you take it for granted, not only do you not know gratitude, but you also want to ask for more. Once you can't get what shouldn't belong to you, you will feel resentful. Rather than this, it is better to speak coldly to them from the beginning, do what they should be, and never be polite. Over time, if you occasionally give a good face, they will be flattered, and even honestly afraid, lest they have done something wrong, and think that your pleasant face is no different from a severed head.

Qin Ke had seen Pei Xi's ability, and he would not have any objections to his decision, and the two chatted for a long time, and finally left half of his guards to protect the safety of the Dai Wang's family, and decided to transfer some more people after going back, so he left satisfied.

After Pei Xi left, Qin Ke was silent for a long time, so long that Qin Wan thought that his father was about to fall asleep, and His Royal Highness the eldest son of the emperor lowered his head, looked at his daughter, and sighed lightly: "Bao'er, if you grow up, you can learn Pei Xi's seven, no, three points, Aya will be satisfied." ”

Hearing Qin Ke praise Pei Xi so much, Qin Wan lowered his face and said unhappily: "Bao'er is not so stupid!" ”

"No, you're not stupid, it's just ......" Qin Ke's eyes were full of sadness, "He speaks and acts a little extremely, and never leaves a way back for others." Although his meaning is good, but the words are contrary to the ear, the medicine is bitter, who doesn't like to hear good words? If he continues like this, sooner or later, he will offend all those who should be offended and those who should not be offended. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Ke paused, shook his head again, and sighed: "I had the heart to persuade him, but he was afraid that his ears were calloused, and he thought I was a cliché." But this is the way things are in the world, some can afford to be planted with mistakes, and some mistakes, once they are made, they will never recover. ”

Qin Wan blinked his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Didn't Aya say that Pei Yuanjun's family is extremely powerful?" ”

"Luoyang Pei's family is indeed very powerful, but ......" Qin Ke didn't want to say this to his daughter, but thinking about the chaos and complexity of these days, as well as the increasingly complicated situation, he cherished his daughter's young age and suffered because of himself, but he still had to make it clear, "Xuzhi's father Pei Li and brother are both mediocre in intelligence, although they have become officials with their ancestor Yu Yin, they may not have any achievements. And Pei Xi's grandfather Pei Jin has a son, Pei Yi, who is extremely shrewd and capable, and has always followed Pei Jin's side and was vigorously promoted by Pei Jin. ”

"Shu, son?" Qin Wan was extremely sensitive to this, and when he heard this, he frowned, not very happy, and asked incomprehensibly, "Didn't Aya say that this dynasty attaches great importance to the concubine, and the concubine can only take the settlement fee to divide the family?" ”

Qin Ke touched his daughter's head and said gently: "Silly child, rules are dead, and people are alive." Pei Jin didn't give his concubine much good treatment, let alone go beyond his son-in-law. He completely treats this concubine as a competent subordinate, and he can't share much of the Pei family's property, title and land in Luoyang, but so what? There are no titles and land properties, but no power, and even when they go out as guests, can only sit in the second-class seats? Have you forgotten the story of Taizu? ”

Qin Wan struck a spirit, and shook his head again and again: "No! ”

She remembered very well that Xia Taizu's biological father was also like this, pampering the concubine and favoring the eldest son. The distinction between the concubines of the previous dynasty is also very distinct, but Xia Taizu's biological father insisted that he was the head of a clan and had a high position, and passed the eldest son to a family in the clan, and then, regardless of the cost, vigorously promoted the other party to make it gain a firm foothold in the court.

After Xia Taizu established the country, he learned the lessons of the previous dynasty and stipulated that whether it was a concubine or a concubine's son-in-law, anyway, as long as the eighteenth generation of the ancestor was stained with the word "concubine", the daughter could not enter the royal family, and the son could not be adopted, otherwise he would commit the major crime of "taking the concubine as the heir", and the lightest would be punished with a cane for thirty. But Xia Taizu's imperial examination, the cloth of the foreign officials, invisibly, but left a way for these concubines to walk.

Promoting disciples and concubines are the same as carrying concubines, why does Pei Jin have to rely on outsiders and not give priority to his own family? He neither spoiled his concubine nor killed his wife, nor did he mean to pass on the family business to his concubine Pei Yi, but if this continues, the situation of the Pei family is ......

"Pei Yuanjun, it's really pitiful." Qin Wan was stunned for most of the day, and suddenly a sentence popped up, and then, she nodded vigorously, looked at her father, and said as if confirmed, "It's really, really pitiful." ”

has cultivated a concubine for so many years, even if he attaches importance to his grandson, he also has a grandfather who has a successor; has high hopes for him, almost as a lifesaver for his father; The elder brother who is mediocre and has no children and has complicated feelings for his younger brother...... From the moment he revealed his talent for reading, his life was destined to be impossible.

Qin Ke was surprised by his daughter's keenness, and when he thought of his eldest son who died early, his tone was a little choked: "If your brother is still alive, he will be like Xu Zhi, proud, confident, and will not be stumped by anything." "Calculating the age, his eldest sons, Qin Kun and Pei Xi, are only about a year apart.

Seeing this shrewd, resolute and energetic young man, he seemed to see his eldest son, who had always been proud of himself. The child also longed for his care, and for his words of praise and a look of expectation, he fought hard at night. Obviously, in front of the saint, he can express that he has to advance and retreat in a certain way, and he is praised by the saint as "my unicorn", but in front of him, he is in a hurry.

If at that time, he hadn't been blinded by the weakness and tears of the concubine's room, didn't feel that Shen Man was strong, Kun'er was smart, and paid more attention to the unsuccessful concubine, would he have less regret?

Infected by his father's affection, Qin Wan's eyes also turned red: "Aya......"

"Aya is good to Asahi Yuki, you're not happy, are you?" Qin Ke looked at his daughter lovingly, and said softly, "Xu Zhi is an excellent person, but his temperament is too extreme, if he doesn't, he is destined to suffer a lot of losses." Don't expect too much from the Luoyang Pei family, you must know that the way to survive in the family is that when you are in power, they may not do their best to help you; When you cause great trouble, they will not hesitate to abandon you, in the name of it, for the sake of the family. ”

Qin Wan remembered this passage deeply in his heart, and then burst into a big smile: "And Ayah! ”

"Huh?"

"Pei Yuanjun helped us, and we have to help him too!" Qin Wan said seriously, "Although he is a little annoying, he ...... Well, never in person and behind the scenes! ”

That's right, that's it.

Liu Kuan obviously didn't want to get involved in anything related to the acting king, but he maintained respect on his face and secretly distanced himself, but Pei Xi was not. If he wants to make friends with you, he will make friends with you, and if he wants to turn his face with you, he will turn his face with you, even if he is perfunctory, he does it blatantly, and he is not afraid of others seeing it.

Everything he did was out of his heart, without the slightest hint of hypocrisy.

For the Daiwang family, who have tasted the warmth and cold, this is very precious.

Qin Ke hugged his daughter tightly and said with an oath: "Yes, he helped us!" From now on, there will be one day for me, and one day for him! ”

Qin Wan's eyebrows were crooked, and he nodded vigorously: "Let's go see A-Niang!" ”

At the mention of Shen Man, Qin Ke's eyebrows were dyed a little melancholy.

Shen Man's birth is a little bad.

She was born in a family of military generals, she has learned marksmanship and knife skills, and her physical strength is far from being comparable to ordinary ladies. It's a pity that when his eldest son Qin Kun passed away, Shen Man was overly sad and had a serious illness, and he was carefully recuperated for two or three years. When she was pregnant with Qin Wan, she traveled a long distance, lacked medical treatment, and if she walked to a remote road, she would not be able to go to the village or the store, and it would be common for her to be hungry. Therefore, although Qin Wan is not a difficult birth, production has been like passing through the ghost gate since ancient times, and it is normal for Shen Man to lose his vitality because of this.

Now, Shen Man is thirty-four years old, and pregnancy at this age is already a bit dangerous. But a few days ago, when the gangsters attacked, Shen Man had a tire gas, and he still supported it, and distributed the best medicine to others...... The bitter fruit of recklessness had to be swallowed by himself.

Qin Ke always felt that if it weren't for his incompetence, Shen Man would not have paid so much. For him, who was full of guilt, as long as he could do a little more for Shen Man, it was good, so he carried Qin Wan into the door, but when he saw Shen Man weeping while reading the letter, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Manniang, what's wrong?" ”

Shen Man pressed the letter under the pillow, wiped his tears, and tried to smile on his pale face: "It's okay, I'm reading Boqing's letter, and when I saw him mention what happened when he was a child, I just sighed." ”

Boqing is the nephew of Shen Man's mother's family, and the current character of Shen Huai, the prince of Qian County. Although these two aunts and nephews are six years apart, they are the only two juniors in the Qiaoxian Mansion, and their relationship is naturally excellent. Although in order not to attract the eyes of others, the people of the county government are not good to come here every once in a while, but every time they bring a lot of daily necessities to give them the necessary help, by the way, explain the situation in Chang'an, how can they waste pen and ink on reminiscing about the past?

Qin Ke put his daughter down, took a few steps forward, and said softly: "Manniang, do you give it, or do I take it?" ”

Shen Man was so sad that she didn't even notice her husband coming in, but now she couldn't hide it, and she was silent for a long time, Fang sighed: "It's nothing, it's just ...... My good niece and daughter-in-law have embezzled my dowry. ”
