At the mention of his sister, Chen Lingyun's expression darkened.

Pei Heng was older and could see his faces better than his younger brothers, so he asked hesitantly, "You also have a sister, right?" ”

Chen Lingyun nodded, "Yes, she is one and a half years old." ”

His half-sister Chen Lingwei is only one and a half years old, and she is still a little bit who doesn't know anything.

I don't know what happened to Ah Wei. At the mention of his sister, Chen Lingyun's eyes were heavy and gray.

Chen Lingwei was raised in front of Mrs. Marquis of Linjiang, but thinking about her grandmother's moody temperament, Chen Lingyun was very worried. Grandmother, sometimes she looks to her mother, sometimes to that woman, sometimes she likes the big sister, sometimes she likes the little sister, it's really unpredictable, and people don't know what to do.

"I have two younger sisters, and the eldest sister is the ...... Born to Madame, she is four years old this year; My little sister and I have the same mother, only one and a half years old. Chen Lingyun said sullenly.

Among the three children of the Pei family, the eldest Pei Heng is only six years old, and when he heard the words, he said "oh" and said, "I know the truth." "Pei Jing and Pei Lin, who are a little younger, are very ignorant. Brother and sister, a father, but not a mother? Are their mothers all alive?

Pei Lin is too young to understand, he doesn't understand, he doesn't ask much, and he doesn't think much. Pei Jing was at the age of curiosity, and he thought about it seriously for a long time, but he didn't understand what was going on.

"I have a father, a mother, an uncle, a second uncle and two aunts; Brothers too, each of them is a father and a mother; It's strange to be like my cousin's house. Pei Jing did the math, confused.

"Cousin, do you have a younger brother?" Pei Heng asked Chen Lingyun politely.

"No, my dad only has one son." Chen Lingyun shook his head.

"That's right." The three brothers of the Pei family looked at Chen Lingyun sympathetically. I don't even have a younger brother, who usually plays with you? It's so lonely, it's so pathetic.

Of course my sister is very good, but my sister has to be coaxed and spoiled, it's different-

"He doesn't have a brother!"

"He has two younger sisters, but the eldest sister is not the same mother as him!"

"He's very good-looking, and he can fight!"

After the cousin and cousin said goodbye, Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin surrounded their parents and scrambled to express their feelings.

Pei Jing deliberately asked modestly, "What kind of cousin's sister is it, and he will not be the same mother?" Isn't it the same? ”

It's my sister, and I'm not the same mother as myself.

However, it's not a father.

Pei Jing was confused.

Xu frowned, "What nonsense! How do you compare yourself to people? "It's the treasures of the Pei family, Chen Lingyun's sisters, how can they be compared to her?

Pei Sanye had a good temperament, called Pei Jing to him, and told him patiently and meticulously, "Your cousin has a wife and a concubine, and Cousin Ling is a concubine." ”

Now that Pei Sanye has something to do, he has to explain what a wife is, what a concubine is, and why his cousin must have a wife and a concubine. Explanation to explanation, sweat on the forehead.

It's hard to explain this to the child.

Xu was a little annoyed, but looking at her husband's busy work, she couldn't help but be surprised. How can you explain this clearly to your child? Look, how tired you are, the children are still confused.

"You can't understand it, but when you get older, you will naturally understand." Xu interrupted them with a smile.

Pei Sanye was relieved and nodded again and again, "Yes, when you get older, you will naturally understand!" ”

"Kid cheat!" Pei Jing loudly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Fool the kids!" Pei Heng said slowly.

Pei Lin smiled flatteringly, looked at her brother, looked at her father, and didn't know which side Lu Dao should stand on for a while.

Xu looked at his three sons with a smile, "Good, I didn't fool you, really, when you are older, you will naturally understand." ”

Pei Sanye couldn't bear it, but he couldn't help it. Children, you are so young, Daddy really can't tell you clearly.

Pei Heng and Pei Jing stomped their feet angrily, and ran out of the house together to play, and Pei Lin hurriedly followed.

"These three stinky boys!" Pei Sanye and Xu looked at each other and smiled, their hearts were sweet.

"Lady, my cousin repeatedly explained before leaving, and asked the second brother and sister-in-law to go to the South Park together." Pei Sanye remembered Linjianghou's instructions and hurriedly told his wife.

"My cousin is too polite, and my second brother is just helping him find someone." Pei Sanye said with a smile.

Xu smiled, "Cousin doesn't just want to thank him, he's worried about his precious son." "His sweetheart has been found, but his eldest son slashed his mother-in-law, and the matter is not over. Second Master Pei has been following Pei Taishou for many years and is proficient in criminal names, can he not rush to ask for advice.

"Huh?" Pei Sanye scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

Lady, he's your cousin, isn't it good to be tactful, so straightforward.

Xu really wanted to blurt out, "Linjiang Hou and my Xu family are not familiar with each other, don't pay attention to him, don't run for him anymore!" ”

Why is the Pei family so dedicated to the affairs of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion? Because the Linjiang Marquis Mansion and the Wei State Mansion are relatives. With the life-saving grace of Wei Guogong, Pei Taishou was willing to neglect the in-laws of the Xu family, the Marquis of Linjiang.

Xu couldn't tell the truth, and she couldn't reveal that she was estranged and intimate, with her aunt, Mrs. Linjiang Hou - if there was something dishonorable in her mother's family, she could only cover up one or two in front of her in-laws.

Xu was greatly distressed.

Pei Sanye comforted her, "That, if Brother Ling is held accountable, my aunt will definitely be distressed and anxious, right?" If my aunt is in a hurry, how can my mother-in-law not be worried? Lady, let's try to calm down this incident with the second brother, which can be regarded as a matter of filial piety to the mother-in-law, killing three birds with one stone. ”

saved a child who was not sensible, appeased the elderly Mrs. Marquis of Linjiang, and fulfilled his filial piety to his mother-in-law - the more Pei Sanye thought about it, the more suitable it became.

Seeing that he was so considerate, Xu Shi covered his mouth and smiled, "Xianggong, if we enter Beijing in the future, you don't want to go to Linjiang Hou's Mansion." Be careful that your cousin-in-law sees you and doesn't follow you. ”

The eldest son of Shu slashed her with a knife, you help the eldest son, she must not hate you to death.

Pei Sanye smiled lightly, "She has to thank me." Lady, if there is a case of rebellion in the local area, even the magistrate will be implicated; If there is a case of rebellion in the Hou Mansion in the capital, what will happen? Doesn't it sound good to say? ”

If Chen Lingyun is really disobedient, Mrs. Linjiang Hou will not be good. Chen Lingyun is seven years old this year, not seventeen. Moreover, as of now, Chen Lingyun is the only son of Linjiang Hou.

The eldest son of Linjiang Hou took a knife and cut his mother-in-law? For what? Oh, Mrs. Linjiang Hou sold his biological mother.

Mrs. Hou wants to sell her concubine who has a son, and the reason for this is reverie-

It's all a scandal to say it.

It has been some time since the father and son of Linjiang Hou left Beijing, has there been any trouble in the capital? No. In □□ ten likely, Mrs. Linjiang also wanted to cover up the matter and did not want to make it public.

"I think my cousin is too worried, but it's okay to take a closer look." Pei Sanye said with a smile.

After thinking about it, Xu could only nod.

Pei Erye's family came back happily.

"Have you seen a treasure ship? The ship has four layers, 44 zhang long, 18 zhang wide, and the anchor weighs several thousand catties, and it takes more than 200 people to set sail. Pei Qi bragged to his younger brothers angrily.

Pei Heng, Pei Jing, and Pei Lin were envious, "It's so big!" ”

Xiao rode on Pei Erye's shoulder, condescending, his eyebrows fluttering, "...... So big, so knife! "Even with a gesture, show off how big and tall the treasure ship you see.

"What do you think?" Mrs. Fang asked her little granddaughter happily.

"That's too much." Two little hands hugged his father's head and said proudly.

The days of riding on my father's shoulders were very fast and majestic.

Lin Youhui smiled dotingly, "It's a little naughty, he refuses to ask me to hug me, it's not high enough." Riding on her father's shoulder, she screamed with joy as she pointed to the boat in the distance, and was overjoyed.

"You're holding her, it's not tall enough." Mrs. Fang smiled at Mimi.

Lin Youhui Waner.

Pei Sanye looked at the cute little girl on the second brother's shoulder, and was envious, "In four years, there will be three more years, and the third father will take you there then, okay?" ”

Shaking his little head again and again, "No, no! ”

"Don't you want to see the third father?" Seeing her shake her head, Pei Sanye couldn't help but feel a little angry.

“…… Wasteful. It took a lot of effort to break out these two words.

The ocean-going fleet is huge, sophisticated, nice to look at, and it costs money! If they were to follow the merchant ships, it would be fine, and they would be able to earn some money back. But they don't, they are purely official activities, not business. In the long run, it will definitely not be able to sustain it. In another four years, we may not be able to see the fleet set sail.

"Say what? Waste? Pei Sanye understood what she meant, and was pleasantly surprised, "At a young age, you know that the people of Lu Dao are suffering." ”

How much manpower and material resources will be consumed on the voyage once every four years, and how much burden will it add to the common people. But how can a child understand?

"My sister is so smart!" The brothers were amazed.

Mrs. Fang and Xu also laughed at Mimi's compliment, riding on their father's shoulder, and their spirits were overwhelming.

Second Master Pei and Lin Youhui glanced at each other, and they were amused. Good daughter, did your father and mother say that they would spend extravagance in the West, do you remember it? Little people, the memory is too good.

Pei Sanye smiled and said Linjianghou's invitation, Pei Erye groaned slightly and nodded, "Okay." ”

The affairs of the Chen family are just the filth and dirtiness that are used to the big families, and they really don't want to be involved. However, he is a maiden relative of the third brother and sister, so he can't ignore it.

If the Marquis of Linjiang just wants to exonerate the eldest son, this matter is not difficult.

If you want to protect your concubine and take your sweetheart back to Beijing to spend a leisurely life, you don't want to think about it.
