Chapter 168: The Yun Family's Orphan
Mu Xiaohe said that he said to the younger man behind Wei Xin: "Yun Yan, don't hurry up and salute Miss Jiang!" ”
At this time, Wei Xin and Shen Daoming also turned around and let the man out.
"Yun Yan has seen Miss Jiang, the girl's ice soul is snowy, beyond the world, seeing the girl is like seeing the posture of an immortal!" Yun Yan bowed his head and bowed his hand, his voice was clear and elegant, making people feel like a spring breeze.
Although his words were quite exaggerated, his calm demeanor and indifferent bearing made Jiang Mei's eyes shine.
"You keep your head down, how can you see the immortal posture?" The corners of Jiang Mei's mouth were lightly raised, deliberately embarrassed, seeing that his figure was thinner and shorter than the previous two, he must not be very old.
Mu Xiao and Wen Yan also chuckled, although this Yun Yan is still young, but he talks a lot on weekdays, and he is not a master who is easy to lose, but he has a free and bold temperament, which is quite popular with everyone in the house, Mu Xiao and himself also love him very much, and feel that his vision and bearing are above everyone in the West Pavilion.
Hearing this, Yun Yan just straightened up slowly, without the slightest crampedness or anger, he slowly raised his head and smiled: "The girl Bodhisattva has a heart, saves the dead and helps the wounded, and her reputation is famous all over the world, what's wrong with being compared to an immortal?" He looked sincere and calm.
At the moment when he raised his eyebrows, Jiang Mei's breathing instantly froze, and he saw that he was handsome, his eyes were like morning stars, his sword eyebrows were like sharpening, and his eyebrows were full of heroism. The appearance coincides with the distant voice in the memory, but the figure in the memory is gentle and elegant, and the young man in front of him is a little more chic and hearty.
Jiang Mei condensed a breath of depression in her chest, suddenly. His face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't help but hold Ruoyun and coughed violently, trembling all over, and frightened others for a while.
Her move frightened Mu Xiaohe, and immediately supported her body, patted her back, and said nervously: "What's wrong with you?" Is your body still not well? ”
He also heard about Concubine Su sending her out of the palace overnight a few years ago, but he didn't go to see her because he had been busy at the end of the year. Xiao He couldn't help but feel distressed.
Jiang Mei coughed a few times. felt a lot more comfortable, and in order not to make his heart suspicious, he immediately endured the shock and joy in his heart, and smiled dumbly: "It's okay." I just took a breath of cold air. Then he stabilized his mind again. Asked Yun Yan, "Young Master Yun is young. The style is outstanding, which shows that the Hou Ye and the prince know people wisely and teach people to a degree. ”
"Haha...."Mu Xiaohe said with a smile, "He's not even fourteen years old." If you praise him again, his tail will rise to the sky! Seeing Jiang Mei so appreciating the guests in the mansion, Xiao He was really happy in his heart, although he Jingnan Hou Mansion was far away in Ningzhou, but Ningzhou was not a no-man's land, and the Ningzhou Hou Mansion was still full of talents.
Less than fourteen? In this way, the age is also the same, Jiang Mei secretly thought in her heart.
"Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Mei can see a few talented people in the Hou Mansion, it is Jiang Mei's luck, he has to be free every day, you can come to my Jiang Mansion to sit!" Jiang Mei smiled and looked at Yun Yan's eyes with a slight daz.
"Thank you, girl, for the invitation!" The three of them bowed in unison.
Mu Xiaohe also smiled and said, "Dekong will definitely bring them to Jiangfu to see and understand." ”
Mu Xiaohe knew that Jiang Mei never invited people to the mansion as guests at will, and as soon as she opened her mouth today, it could be seen that she admired them a lot. After saying that, he led Jiang Mei over from the three.
Wei Xin and the other three stood there, and it wasn't until Mu Xiaohe sent Jiang Mei outside the mansion that they turned around and walked towards the main hall.
"You kid is so arrogant on weekdays, how can you be humble when you see this Jiang girl today?" Wei Xin looked at Yun Yan and said with a smile as he walked.
"What I said is from the bottom of my heart, I admire Doctor Jiang's heart and personality!" Yun Yan replied indifferently, in fact, there was another reason, that is, when he saw Jiang Mei, he had an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as comfortable as meeting an old friend, but Ren Yunyan couldn't think of seeing her anywhere if he wanted to break his brain.
When Mu Xiaohe sent Jiang Mei to the outside of the mansion, Jiuzhu was already waiting by the carriage, and after he helped Jiang Mei into the car, he saluted Mu Shizi slightly and drove the carriage out of the Mu mansion.
"Miss, where are we going?" Jiuzhu's cold voice came from outside the car.
"Go to Xuanling Temple to offer incense!" Jiang Mei replied lightly. She originally wanted to visit Xiao Mocheng's palace, but now she was in a hurry to visit her sister-in-law in Xuanling Temple.
Jiang Mei leaned on the low couch and thought deeply: Yun Yan came from Ningzhou, and that child was sent to Ningzhou by Pei Yun, but in order to confirm his identity, he had to ask Pei Fengwan.
It's just that Jiang Mei is a little strange that Mu Xiaohe doesn't seem to recognize Yun Yanlai. It's a little because her brother was quiet and didn't like to go out, not to mention that so many years have passed, so Mu Xiaohe is not impressed by him. Moreover, this Yun Yan in front of him only looks seven points like his brother, and his demeanor is almost completely different, if he is not a close relative, I am afraid he will not be recognized. It's good that this saves you from recurring incidents.
Mu Mansion and Xuanling Temple are not far apart, but two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Mei arrived at Xuanling Temple, today Xuanling Temple has a few more people than usual, Jiang Mei looked at the bustling crowd of Xuanling Temple, slightly stunned.
"Miss, let's go up!" Ruoyun helped her and reminded. In this way, Jiuzhu and Ruoyun helped Jiang Mei, who looked a little dazed, to the small courtyard where Pei Fengwan lived.
Jiang Mei waited quietly for a moment, saw that there was no sound in the house, and thought that no one came to Pei's Mansion, so she asked Jiuzhu and the others to wait outside the house, and walked in with confidence.
Jiang Mei knocked on the door, and after a while, the door creaked open.
When Pei Feng saw that it was Jiang Mei in the evening, his face was immediately full of joy, and he said gently: "Come in!" ”
Jiang Mei stepped in, closed the door, and then followed her into the back room.
Pei Fengwan was afraid that she would be cold, so he immediately poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, "Sit down quickly!" Roast the fire first! Pei Fengwan was very happy when she saw Jiang Mei, although Pei Yun was her biological father, but in her heart, she was already a member of the Yun family, so she felt closer to Jiang Mei.
After Jiang Mei sat down next to her, she held her hand and said warmly: "Sister-in-law, I can't spend Chinese New Year's Eve with you, Yue'er is very guilty, when everything is settled, I will definitely take my sister-in-law to live together!" ”
"Silly girl, I can see you. I'm already very content, my sister-in-law no longer expects anything...."Pei Fengwan's eyes were a little moist, she didn't expect to see that child again.
Jiang Mei saw that her face darkened, knowing that she remembered the child, Jiang Mei asked softly, "Sister-in-law, what marks are there on that child?" ”
Pei Fengwan was shocked when he heard this, and his lips trembled slightly, "Is there any news about that child?" ”
Jiang Mei looked at her with fiery eyes and nodded heavily.
Pei Fengwan immediately held her hand tightly, "But really? She burst into tears. A look of disbelief. In her heart, it was an unattainable luxury.
"That child's appearance is about seven points similar, and he is also from Ningzhou, so I have to ask my sister-in-law to confirm it." Jiang Mei wiped her tears and said gently.
"Uh-huh. My child..."Pei Fengwan remembered the image that was deeply imprinted in his mind. After the birth of her poor child. She only looked at him a few times, and when she woke up again, he was gone. "There's a black mole behind his left ear..."Pei Fengwan sobbed.
"Good. Sister-in-law, I will try to confirm," Jiang Mei immediately thought about something, and then said: "Oh, by the way, sister-in-law, you also ask Pei Xiang to see if Pei Xiang has left any marks or tokens or anything like that." Jiang Mei was a little suspicious of Yun Yan's surname Yun, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
"Well, yes, my father will come to visit me in the next few days, so I'll ask him." Pei Fengwan nodded in response.
Jiang Mei pondered for a moment and said: "Sister-in-law, Yue'er has a reluctant request, and she also asks her sister-in-law to keep it a secret from Pei Xiang, one less person knows about this matter, and the child is safer!" ”
Pei Fengwan nodded heavily and said: "I can save it, even if you don't worry about him, I'm not at ease, that kid's surname is 'Yun' after all." After all, Pei Fengwan still couldn't let go of her father's desire to send the child away.
Jiang Mei smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Pei Xiang did this to protect that child, you can't blame him." ”
Pei Fengwan lowered her head and didn't speak, she knew that what Jiang Mei said was reasonable, but after all, this had separated their mother and son for so long, and it was difficult to forgive him.
In order not to make people suspicious, Jiang Mei had to sit for a while and leave.
After Jiang Mei returned to Jiang Mansion, she learned that several princes had sent people to send New Year's gifts, and to her surprise, even Pei Mansion and Su Mansion had people send congratulatory gifts. So Jiang Mei carefully prepared some return gifts, and asked Rong He and Jiuzhu to send them back.
Jiang Mei was grateful to Pei Yun for leaving a trace of blood for Yunfu, so the return gift to Pei Yun was particularly valuable. She knew that Pei Yun believed in Buddhism, so she gave him a statue of Amitayus Buddha that she had obtained in the Western Regions seven years ago. That Buddha statue was obtained by a monk from the Western Regions from the king of body poison, which is of great value and significance.
Therefore, when Pei Yun received this return gift, he was amazed again and again, he didn't know that Jiang Mei still had such skills, and he was quite good at antiques and cultural relics, and he liked her even more in his heart.
It's just that when Pei Yun, who had just returned to the court, sat down, he couldn't help but feel depressed, although he intended to let Pei Hui marry Jiang Mei, but Pei Hui's kid had a favorite woman, and Pei Yun also heard the news that the palace intended to marry Jiang Mei Xu to Xiao Mocheng as a side concubine, and he was a little hesitant for a while, he estimated that Jiang Mei was a little like-minded with Xiao Mocheng, otherwise Xiao Mocheng would not risk the world's disapproval for her and marry a Jianghu woman as a side concubine of the dignified son.
Pei Yun finally sighed, thinking that he had to do this, he didn't dare to compete with the royal family for a daughter-in-law, the most important thing was that Pei Hui didn't like it, and he didn't want to force it, the happiness of his two daughters had been ruined, and he didn't want his son's marriage to be unhappy. Moreover, Jiang Mei and Pei Hui are indeed not very similar, it is appropriate to say that she should marry Pei Zhan, but Jiang Mei will definitely not be willing to be a concubine for Pei Zhan.
Just as Pei Yun was pondering for a moment, Pei Hui walked in with Mrs. Pei in his arms, Mrs. Pei sat next to Pei Yun, and asked softly, "Master, when will you let people go to the Xie family to propose marriage?" Pei Hui was afraid that Pei Yun would be reluctant, so he moved Mrs. Pei out.
Last night, Pei Yun took advantage of the excitement of Chinese New Year's Eve and said that he wanted Pei Hui to marry Jiang Mei, and Pei Hui, who has always been honest in clinker, immediately turned pale, puffing out his cheeks and disagreeing.
Pei Zhan on the side saw his younger brother's appearance, but he was very funny, knowing that he had someone he liked, so he forced him to say what he wanted. So Pei Hui honestly confessed that he went to Xie's house to play a few years ago, and together with Su Tan, he fell in love with Xie Tinglin's two sisters.
Some of the children raised by the Xie family in Huiji a few years ago were brought to Beijing for the New Year. Among them, there are two sisters in the boudoir, one is Xie Tinglin's sister Xie Tingzhi, and the other is Xie Kuang's daughter Xie Linglan, Pei Hui likes Xie Tingzhi, and Su Tan likes Xie Linglan.
The Su family decided to get close to the Xie family, and wanted to marry Su Weizhen's daughter Su Yiyun to Xie Tinglin as his wife. Several big families in Beijing are each other's sons and daughters, which is also their way of maintaining the glory of the family.
Now the Su family and the Xie family have made a family agreement with each other. Pei Hui originally wanted to marry Su Tan together, so he didn't want to be left behind. So early in the morning, I begged Mrs. Pei to persuade Pei Yun.
"yes, I see!" Pei Yun looked at the Buddha statue and replied lightly, although he had promised Pei Hui in his heart, his face was still indifferent. This is the first time Pei Hui has not obeyed his arrangement, so he naturally wants to give Pei Hui a little color.
At this time, Pei Zhan also walked in with the third princess, and the two of them saluted, "New Year's greetings to my father and mother!" Pei Yun and Mrs. Pei immediately stood up when they saw the two of them saluting, but this daughter-in-law was a princess, so she must not be rude.
Mrs. Pei hurriedly helped the third princess up, and said gently: "Child, get up quickly!" Come and sit! ”
Pei Yun finally smiled with a relieved face: "Princess, come and sit, Zhan'er also come!" ”
"Father, mother, Yu Ai married into the Pei family and is the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, the second elder does not need to be polite to Yu Yuan!" Xiao Yuyuan owes herself, and she is gentle and virtuous.
Pei Zhan glanced at her with pity, he was quite satisfied that his wife was so knowledgeable and reasonable, and he did not think that she was a princess, but she was overpowered.
"Hehe...."Pei Yun also smiled, his heart was quite comfortable, he glanced at Pei Zhan deeply at the same time, and expressed his appreciation, in Pei Yun's opinion, Xiao Yuyuan can have such insight and etiquette, there should be no lack of Pei Zhan's credit, Pei Yun believes in his son's ability. It's just that Pei Zhan has to go to Wuxing County to take up his post the day after tomorrow, and he is quite reluctant.
"Zhan'er, are you all ready?" Pei Yun asked kindly.
"Father rest assured, everything is ready, and he will rush to Wuxing early the next morning." Pei Zhan replied.
"Father and mother should take care of their health, and we will come back often to visit the second elder." Xiao Yuyuan held Mrs. Pei in one hand and said with a smile.
"My mother has nothing else to worry about, I just want you to let my mother hold her grandson as soon as possible." Mrs. Pei gently held Xiao Yuyuan's hand and said gently, she only has one niece now, and she is far away in Linhai County, and Pei Zhan has been married for two or three years, so she has been looking forward to them having a child.
At this time, Xiao Yuyuan glanced at Pei Zhan with a delicate face, Pei Zhan looked back at her softly, and said to Pei Yun and Mrs. Pei: "Father, mother, Yuan'er already has a body..."
After that, he looked at his wife gently, it was his long-standing wish to have a child, and now that Xiao Yuyuan was pregnant, he was overjoyed. (To be continued......)
