Chapter 179: Resignation
Deng Juntang was willing to do so, and said with a smile: "It's windy here, my sister let me go in and talk." ”
He had been eating the wind in the yard for so long, and he was waiting for him to be impetuous, how could he wait like this any longer, and when he came out, he was hot with wine, and now he was cold.
"Seventh Master, don't come in yet." The voice in the room seemed to be a little panicked, but he didn't expect Deng Juntang to break in like this.
The maid hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
Deng Juntang suddenly became angry, "But to put it mildly, what do you mean by blocking left and right like this." A mouth full of wine spurted out.
The maid hurriedly said, "It's not time yet, the seventh master will wait." He looked out in a panic.
When?
What does it mean to wait?
"Second sister Pei, you don't want to discuss the marriage date with me, don't you tell me in person how to do it, I can ignore those things in the past."
Deng Juntang looked into the inner room as he spoke, and there was no one behind the screen, as if there were footsteps walking inside.
Deng Juntang followed the footsteps.
A figure was faintly visible.
Dressed in a blue satin makeup robe, he hid on a chair behind a curtain, and his pink embroidered shoes were half exposed outside the tent.
He had seen Pei Minghui wearing such a suit.
Deng Juntang smiled slightly.
Although the Pei family is a noble, but the time when the nobles were prominent has long passed, and it has been so many years since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who will remember the things that the founding feats did all day long.
"Didn't Second Sister Pei always want to go to Fujian? My father served as the deputy chief soldier in Fujian, and he had many subordinates under him. Now don't talk about Fujian, even Zhejiang, there are few generals that my father doesn't know. ”
"The pearl of the night I brought this time. It was sent by the Zhejiang General Soldier when my father was doing his birthday, does Pei's second sister think it looks good? ”
The man behind the curtain did not speak, but carefully retracted his feet.
Deng Juntang straightened up, "It's not difficult for you to recover from your illness and then go to Fujian, I just need to talk to my father well, and I can postpone the wedding date until next autumn." Otherwise...... My father is going to ask Baoshan to come to the door...... Although you are sick, you can't tell if you have a wedding date, and you can rush it. ”
Deng Juntang stepped forward quietly as he spoke, deliberately squatting down. The person behind the curtain still didn't move, Deng Juntang's whole body suddenly threw himself forward, and suddenly hugged the curtain and Miss Pei Er behind him in his arms.
A piercing exclamation was heard suddenly.
Deng Juntang smiled slightly, he was not afraid, and alarmed the guests in front of him. The faceless person is Pei Minghui, not him, Deng Juntang.
What else does the Pei family pretend. An out-of-gas nobleman, how can he match his father's current power.
He is willing to ask Pei Minghui, Pei Minghui should be grateful to Dade and thank him well, so that he will not abandon her and go home in a few years.
The Pei family still hasn't figured it out, and now it's different from the old marquis.
Deng Juntang said with a smile: "Shout, call someone, you won't have a name." ”
……
Mrs. Pei and Pei Mingzhao just walked into the courtyard. Mrs. Pei turned her head to look at her son, "You can talk to him in a while." Juntang is not an ignorant child. ”
Pei Mingzhao did not speak.
Mrs. Pei continued: "This family depends on you now, but after all, you are still young, what can you do if you are reused in your twenties, in case the imperial court lets you go to the northwest or Xuanfu, Liaodong and other places, after your father is gone, I have nightmares every night, and I dreamed that he stood in front of me covered in blood and questioned me." ”
Mrs. Pei said, her face gloomy.
"Juntang is what I grew up seeing, when I was a child, the two of you fought for a bird's egg, the wound on Juntang's face was left in this way, at that time, Mrs. Deng was very distressed, your father was still thinking about how to come to the door to apologize, otherwise the Deng and Pei families don't know how to meet in the future, I just thought about it, Juntang came to play with you again, the two of you went horseback riding together, Mrs. Deng thought about it and laughed, so she said a word."
"Children don't care, we old ones are frowning our eyebrows together."
Listening to his mother talk about these old things, Pei Ming said: "Today is not as good as before, my father died, Deng Sichang was appointed as the deputy chief soldier of Fujian, and Deng Juntang is no longer the child who went up to the tree to dig out birds' eggs. ”
As soon as Pei Mingzhao's words fell, he heard a piercing scream from the courtyard in front of him.
Mrs. Pei's face changed suddenly, and she turned her head to look at Pei Mingzhao, who helped Mrs. Pei to stride towards Xifuyuan.
In the blink of an eye, Pei Mingzhao had already pushed the door open.
There was a scuffling sound in the room.
The curtain was suddenly pulled aside, and Deng Juntang looked into his arms with a smile.
The person in her arms is not Miss Pei Er, who has snow-white skin, eyebrows like Yuandai, and a pretty appearance, but an old woman with goosebumps.
Deng Juntang was stunned as if he had been struck by thunder.
Fang Cai still felt warm and fragrant, but now he was indescribably disgusting, and he ate what he had in his stomach and rushed up to his throat.
Vomit.
Deng Juntang's whole body trembled.
The old woman was wearing girl's clothes and a coral hairpin on her head, looking indescribably weird, "Mother Xu......"
The old woman shouted.
Deng Juntang trembled in fright, this is Pei Minghui's voice, Pei Minghui ......
Was he dazzled, or was it ...... It's true.
What kind of strange disease did Pei Minghui have, it would be like this.
Pei Mingzhao entered the house and saw Deng Juntang, who was stunned by the old woman.
It took a while for Deng Juntang to come back to his senses, pointing at the old woman, her face was ugly, her face was distorted, "How did you become like this...... "How did you become like this."
She ...... She...... How did she become like that. ”
Pei Minghui ...... How to ......"
Deng Juntang glared, dancing to make his meaning clear.
Looking at the panicked Deng Juntang, it was very clear that Deng Juntang regarded the woman as his sister, and Pei Mingzhao grabbed Deng Juntang with a cold gaze. The voice was low, "What are you doing in the inner room?" ”
"I ...... I...... I just saw that there was no one outside, so I came in to take a look......" Deng Juntang looked at Pei Mingzhao blankly. Explaining haphazardly, his hand still pointing in the direction of the old woman.
It was as if he wanted to tell everyone about this fear, so that everyone would be frightened.
Scared to death, scared to death, he went to hug the little beauty with blood, but he didn't expect that what he was in his arms was ...... A puddle of rotten meat.
"What's going on?"
Mrs. Pei let people help them through the door.
Deng Juntang was obviously frightened, and he didn't dare to look at the old woman.
"Here's what it's doing." Mrs. Pei frowned, "Juntang, how did you end up here. What are you doing here? ”
Deng Juntang opened his mouth wide, "This ...... Don't blame me......"
The old woman knelt down, "Mrs. Tai, Master Hou, it was this old man who hugged the old woman." The old woman was startled before she shouted in panic. ”
Several large boxes were opened in the room. There are also a few shadow puppets scattered on the ground.
Deng Juntang realized after a while that the old woman was not Pei Minghui, not Pei Minghui at all.
The old woman said: "The old woman's craft is to be able to play shadow puppetry, to learn people's voices, is practicing the voice of the second lady in the house, wanting to make the second lady happy, who knows that this master will break in, the old woman hurriedly hid behind the curtain." But the master said a lot in a daze, and then suddenly hugged the old woman. ”
Deng Juntang's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. Hurriedly saluted Mrs. Pei, "Mrs. Tai, don't listen to this old woman's words. ”
"What did Deng Qiye say?" Pei Mingzhao asked with a straight face.
"This master, this master said......" The old woman went to learn Deng Juntang with a thick voice, "Didn't Pei's second sister always want to go to Fujian?" My father served as the deputy chief soldier in Fujian, and there were many subordinates under the old marquis, not to mention Fujian, even in Zhejiang, there are few generals that my father does not know. ”
The old woman continued to speak sentence by sentence, her voice was still a little similar to Deng Juntang, the kind of disdainful and smug look, the frivolous and high-minded appearance, made Deng Juntang's face turn red and white, and Mrs. Pei was embarrassed to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
Deng Juntang's meaning couldn't be clearer.
The words are so explicit.
Fujian, a military general, and a general military officer, clearly told Pei Minghui that if there was no such family business, the Pei family would be defeated.
The Deng family can afford to see the Pei family to fulfill this family business, and the Pei family should be grateful to Dade.
Otherwise, let alone Fujian, even Zhejiang has no place for the Pei family.
Such humiliation.
Mrs. Pei, who has been experienced for a long time, only felt that the words were like needles, rooted in her heart.
"Mrs. Tai, this is not what my nephew said," Deng Juntang said, "My nephew doesn't know why this old woman said this. ”
"Mrs. Tai...... It's the slave maid who made her own opinion......," Pei Minghui's mother Xu walked in from the outside and knelt at Mrs. Pei's feet, "It's Deng Qiye...... Again and again asked people to come to the second lady to pass the word, the second lady refused to listen to the descendants of the Deng family and stood in the courtyard and refused to leave, and several female relatives who came to see the second miss were suspicious, so the slave maid asked people to invite the Hou Ye and Mrs. Tai, and said to Deng Qiye over there, just wait in Xifu Garden. ”
"In Xifuyuan, it is just packed out for people to practice shadow puppetry, and it is clean here, and the slave maid thinks that Deng Qiye is here, so as not to be seen and misunderstood, and when Mrs. Tai and Hou Ye come, they can also persuade Deng Qiye...... Who knew that Deng Qiye was going to break into the house without saying a word, so the slave maid asked the mother-in-law to pretend to be the voice of the second lady to persuade, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, Deng Qiye followed the voice to find it. ”
Deng Juntang's eyes widened.
It's like being poured a basin of ice water on the head, and the whole body is wet and cold.
It turned out to be lying to him.
What Pei Minghui.
Pei Minghui was not here at all, the descendants of the Pei family, together with the mother-in-law who was performing arts, were all watching his jokes, and Deng Juntang seemed to be able to hear the sound of his scalp exploding, and his eyes widened.
Who is he, why did he let the Pei family see his jokes, Deng Juntang straightened his neck, "Mrs. Tai, what my nephew said is right......"
Now that the words have been said, there is no reason to take them back.
As long as the Pei family still wants to marry the Sun family, they can't offend the Deng family.
"My father made great achievements in Fujian, and my nephew was happy for a while, so he told Pei Ersister about this." There's something wrong with that.
If the Pei family doesn't look down on Fujian, they don't want this family business.
Just learn from other nobles to marry a young lady from a scholarly family, or the daughter of a military general's family, don't ask for any nobles, don't climb any relatives.
"Mother, in my opinion, the marriage between the Pei family and the Deng family should not be discussed."
Deng Juntang was stunned.
Pei Mingzhao said coldly: "My father has always respected etiquette, and he will not let an uncle with bad conduct enter the house, Uncle Deng will go and say it." ”
"If such a thing happens, if I still turn a blind eye, how can the face of the Pei family remain," Pei Ming said, "Now that I have inherited the title, I will be the master of this family." ”
Miss Yao Qi, an outsider, can find ways to help Minghui, and he, who is an elder brother, can still watch his sister marry a villain like Deng Juntang.
The blood in Deng Juntang's body seemed to be sucked away all at once, and he suddenly shivered.
The Pei family really wants to repent of marriage.
The Pei family dared to repent of their marriage.
My father will never give up, and he will definitely try his best to earn face, and the only way is to use the Sun family.
Pei Mingzhao is crazy, and even Miss Sun is not ready to marry?
Pei Ming Zhao said: "Come on, send Deng Qiye out of the house, and all the gifts sent by Deng Qiye will be returned." ”
Deng Juntang opened his mouth.
The Pei family wants to drive him out of the house like this.
……
watched the subordinates invite Deng Juntang away.
Mrs. Pei covered her chest, and it took a while for her heart to calm down, and the next person came up with two cups of tea, and then withdrew lightly, leaving Mrs. Pei and Pei Mingzhao's mother and son to talk.
Mrs. Pei looked at her son on the chair, "How can you ruin this family affair in front of Deng Qi like this." ”
Pei Mingzhao raised his head, "Mother didn't listen to what Deng Juntang said?" In order to be able to return to Fujian, in order to take back her father's old subordinates, her mother was determined to marry Minghui to Fujian, but in the end it was just two results, Minghui was tortured to death by the Deng family, and the Pei family was looked down upon from then on. ”
"Could it be that my mother really wants to take Deng Sichang as the leader."
Mrs. Pei was speechless, and only after a while did she say: "It was set by your father, and I am a widow after all......"
"When my father decided on the family affairs, Deng Sichang was not the deputy chief military officer of Fujian, and the Pei family never wanted to climb the Deng family, let alone sell Minghui over, and I also inquired about the Sun family, what kind of scholarly family, I have always had close contacts with Deng Sichang, why should my mother take the Pei family to wade into this troubled water."
"Today is different from the past, I will deal with this matter."
"What do you do," Mrs. Pei looked at her son with a calm face, "If you retire from two family affairs in a row, who will dare to marry the Pei family in the future, how can the Pei family explain it." ”
"I'll go and say," Pei Mingzhao immediately stood up, "After today's incident, does my mother still want Minghui to marry?" ”
Don't think about it, even if Ming Zhao doesn't say it, she won't marry Minghui to someone like Deng Juntang, the meat that fell from her body, she would be so ruthless.
What's more, Ming Zhao is so resolute, and his eyebrows are raised to reveal a bit of majesty.
I don't want Minghui to marry the Deng family, but I also want to keep the Sun family, which seems to be ...... It's not that easy.
Pei Mingzhao stood up after speaking, "I'll go see my sister." ”
Walking out of the house, Pei Mingzhao suddenly felt that the cold winter wind blowing on his face was not so harsh, but made him feel relaxed and happy.
It's so refreshing, and the space between heaven and earth seems to open up all at once.
