Chapter 40: The Three Brothers of the Pei Family
"......" Lin Xi frowned, "Who told you such a thing?" "This kind of nonsense is where Achi knows.
Jiang smiled slightly, but didn't answer, Ah Xi Eminem's attribute must have been committed again.
The maid beside her said in a low voice: "Jiulang, Pei San is the little lang of the second lady of Xifu." β
Jiang Wei was stunned, how could she say that this Pei San looked familiar, it turned out that she had really seen this person. This person is still related to their family, her grandfather is her great-grandfather's old son, and his cousins are much older than him, and the age difference is too much, so the relationship is not close, but he has a good relationship with a cousin of the same age, which is better than that of his brother Jiang Yi. This cousin lived on the west side of their house, and the house was called Xifu. Her cousin and grandfather have died, and the grandmother is still there, and the two have four sons, but the eldest son and the second son both died early, and the third son is also the real eldest son, Jiang Jing, who is currently in Anbei, and is the protector of Anbei, and his official position is parallel to Axi's father, and there are two sons and one daughter in the family.
The youngest son also died early, but he still left a daughter, her husband is Pei San's eldest brother, Jiang Wei met Pei San at their wedding, because he just glanced at it, if it weren't for his gorgeous colors and white powder face, Jiang Wei really couldn't remember. Their family has a good relationship with Xifu, she still remembers that her mother and the third uncle of Xifu have done business together, but Jiang Wei and the two cousins are a little more age-different, and the two cousins are married again, and they don't meet many times, but they vaguely remember that the cousin who married into the Pei family has a very gentle personality, "Since they are all relatives, you let Bingliu explain to him." "Jiang Wei can't make it difficult for her cousin.
But raising an outer room or something, doesn't the Pei family care? Jiang Wei remembered that her grandmother said that the Pei family style was strict and very strict with their children's upbringing. And does he have the money to keep an outer room? Jiang Wei was very suspicious, when her grandmother talked about the Pei family, A-Niang joked, saying that the eldest Langjun of the Pei family did not have his own money, Jiang Wei was an absolute little rich woman, not to mention the fief given to her by the emperor's uncle, that is, the income from the various granges that the family had bought for her over the years was enough for her to eat and drink for several lifetimes.
Pei Jiakong Xianjun firmly believes that men become bad when they are rich, and they are very strict with the monthly money of their sons, of course, this is also related to the fact that the Pei family has long since declined and there is really no money in the family. The Pei family has a title, it seems to be the founding county uncle, and she is a first-order with her, although the father of the Pei brothers is a disciple of the Pei family in Hedong, but he is not a disciple of the sect, and his qualifications are mediocre, and he has not been promoted in officialdom for decades. A-Niang also said that fortunately, her cousin married a lot, so she didn't have to reach out and ask everyone for it.
Outside the screen, no matter how Pei San persuaded the four ladies of the Jian family, they all decided that Jian Siniang wanted to climb another high branch, don't look at Pei San's face, in fact, his parents at home control him very strictly, he has never been out of the house much when he is so big, he only knows how to study. Coming to Lanhu and meeting Jian Siniang were all accidents, which opened a door to a new world for him! Jian Siniang is the first girl he has a good impression of, and the two have a skin-to-skin relationship again, Pei San thinks that Jian Siniang is already his own person, so he looks very closely. The rewards for the four sisters of the Jian family were all saved by him from the monthly money, fortunately, Grandma loved him, and often stuffed some money for him, Pei San saved it, and once he saved enough, he sneaked out to find Jian Siniang.
Jian Siniang still had a delicate smile on her face, and she was already impatient in her heart, she ran around the rivers and lakes with her sisters since she was a child, although she was bitter, she was free, how could she have been so controlled?
Bingliu was instructed by Jiang Wei and was about to step forward to explain, but he saw a group of people coming towards him, and a young man led by him said to Pei San: "San Lang, why are you here?" β
Pei San saw that the young man's face had changed greatly, and he let go of the hand holding Jian Siniang, "Big-big brother!" β
When Pei Da saw the four sisters of the Jian family, his brows were so furrowed that he could almost kill mosquitoes, and he saw Pei San's face panicked, hating iron and not steel, "You-"
"Big brother, let's take a seat first." A calm and clear voice sounded, Pei Erlangjun stood behind the eldest brother, and proposed with a gentle smile, compared to Pei Da's weakness and Pei San's gentleness, Pei Er's handsome appearance, tall stature, calm manners, and a kind and amiable smile, couldn't help but make people's eyes shine, he only flashed over the four sisters of the Jian family, and his eyes fell on Bingwu and Bingliu, and he recognized at a glance that these two people should be the henchmen and guards beside the disciples of the family. I don't know how they are with Saburo, according to Saburo's temperament, he shouldn't be able to cause a big disaster.
Bingwu and Bingliu arched their hands to Pei Da and Pei Er: "Bingwu and Bingliu have seen Pei Dalangjun, Erlangjun, and Sanlangjun, and my master said that he occasionally saw three brothers, but because of the inconvenience of his identity, he lost his welcome, and I hope that the three will forgive me, and please let the three brothers come in for a while." β
Pei Da and Pei Er glanced at each other, and Pei Dadao: "Forgive Pei for being clumsy, I don't know which of Pei's relatives is the attendant of the two Langjun?" β
Bingliu said: "My master is the ninth in the family, and he calls Pei Dalangjun his brother-in-law." β
Brother-in-law? Jiang Jiu! Pei Da and Pei Er instantly understood the identity of the owners of Bingwu and Bingliu, the Jiang family's Xiaojiuniang, the two smiled bitterly, it was really lively here today. Pei Da thought that the third brother's ugly state was seen by his in-laws, and he couldn't help glaring at the third brother, Pei San didn't dare to speak.
Bingliu said in a low voice: "Three Langjun, my master's surname is Qi." β
The three of them knew that there were outsiders, and Jiuniang wanted to hide her identity.
Jiang Wei was already standing at the mouth of the screen, and when she saw Pei Da and the three people entering, she stepped forward and saluted, "Ah Jiu has seen the brother-in-law of the Pei family, the second brother Pei, and the third brother. At this time, the distinction between inside and outside was far less strict than in later generations, and if the father and brother were not there, the girls of the family could also generously come out to entertain male guests.
Pei Da saw that Jiang Wei was wearing men's clothes and was still with the two Xiao Langjun, a touch of disapproval flashed in his eyes, and he didn't ease down a little until he saw Wu Sanniang there, even if Jiang Jiuniang was still young, he couldn't just go out to play with Xiao Langjun, he also gave a half-salute, "Jiulang doesn't have to be polite." β
Pei Er joked to Jiang Wei: "Why didn't Xiao Jiulang study in the school today, and came out to be lazy?" β
Jiang Wei said: "If you don't study much, you will hurt your youth; Studying too much hurts the body, so the combination of work and rest is justified. β
Pei Erlang smiled, "What Jiu Lang said is very true, the combination of work and rest is right. β
Pei San was restless.
After Pei Da and the three of them talked about the old days, they went back to Pei San's private seat, set up a screen, and the two brothers talked with the third brother. Pei Da and Pei Er will come here completely to listen to Pei San's words, Pei San has been studying since he met Jian Siniang, and he has been thinking about saving money for Jian Siniang all day long, his little guy is worried that he will be killed by the county gentleman for not reporting the incident, and secretly told the most kind Erlang Jun in the family, Pei Er thought about it and hid his mother first, and came with the eldest brother, and sure enough, he saw Pei San involved with a little girl.
Pei Er secretly thought that only the third brother in the family had not enough monthly money, and he always asked his eldest mother for it, but now he knew that he would save it for the little girl, and he really didn't know if he was growing up to understand the relationship between men and women, or scolding him for not growing up, he only thought about an outsider, but he didn't want to buy some gifts for his family. And Pei Da was so angry that he couldn't speak coherently, "You are actually involved with that kind of unclean girl outside, you still have to be shameless!" β
Pei San's face turned red when he was scolded by his eldest brother, "Siniang is not an unclean person, she is still clean when she follows me!" β
Pei San's words made Pei Da's eyes darken, "You-" He actually went to contaminate this kind of inferior pariah! Let my father and mother know that they had to kill him!
"Big brother." Pei Er held down the eldest brother and asked Pei San in a harmonious voice, "San Lang, how are you doing now?" β
"I don't know." Pei San's face flushed, "Second brother, can I take Siniang back home?" He trusts the second brother more than the eldest brother.
"No way!" Pei Da said angrily, "You dare to take this kind of person in, and you don't feel dirty!" β
"Where is Siniang dirty!" Pei San stiffened his neck and said, "I said that she was clean when she was with me." β
Pei Er appeased Pei Da again, and then said to Pei San: "San Lang, you know Siniang's identity, it is impossible for the family to recognize it." "With the status of their family, it is impossible for such a woman to even be a concubine.
"What then?" Pei San said.
"You can go and ask Siniang, if you are willing to sell yourself as a slave, after entering the house, you have crossed the road from your mother, even if you don't have an identity, you can have a place to settle down, and if you have a child in the future, she can also have a place to rely on." Pei Er was kind to Pei Sanchun, he also didn't take Jian Siniang in his eyes, but he was different from Pei Da, he didn't approve of separating the two, San Lang was on the rise, and forcibly separating the two would only arouse San Lang's disgust, maybe he would never forget Siniang for the rest of his life. It's better to bring it home, San Lang is now focused on Jian Siniang, but he can't do it just because he asks for it, and when the thing is in hand, how many days will he maintain it with his long performance? Soon it will get tired of it, and I'm afraid he won't even know who Jian Siniang is.
Pei Da's reluctance was swallowed in Pei Er's insistent gaze, although he was the eldest brother, most of the time he listened to the second brother.
Pei San's eyes lit up when he heard the second brother's words, "Okay, I'll go tell Siniang!" As he spoke, he got up.
Pei Er said, "She is talking to Jiang Jiuniang, don't disturb them." β
Pei Dadao: "This Jiang family is too indulgent, men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, Jiang Jiuniang is also seven years old, right?" It's still so casual to go out to play with a foreign man. The only thing that made Pei Da look good about Jiang Wei's actions was that she felt that the four sisters of the Jian family played swallows well, and let them go to the house to perform, and they still thought about their elders, which was also the main reason why Pei Da did not object to Pei Er letting Jian Siniang sell them in the end, and this person could also kick swallows to make his mother happy.
"Isn't there a female dependent? Not to mention that Xiao Jiuniang has a lot of people around her, Lin Xiaolang and the Jiang family also have a family friendship, right? Pei Er never felt that a woman should be locked up at home, "Xiao Jiuniang is still childish, and it's not bad to come out to see some of the world." Big brother, you can also go out for a walk with your sister-in-law. β
"Women should be chaste and quiet, and they should take spinning as the key, why do they go out when they have nothing to do?" Pei Da looked displeased.
Pei Er no longer persuaded him, after all, this is a private matter between the husband and wife.
After the three brothers of the Pei family finished discussing, they didn't even listen to the singing of the Liu family, so they left with Pei San, Jiang Wei agreed with Jian Siniang to come to the door to perform three days later, and the four sisters of the Jian family met Jiang Wei and responded happily, the four of them are all human sperm, and at a glance they knew that Jiang Wei was from an extraordinary background, although she wore her clothes very simply.
"Siniang, today you can be regarded as seeing two husbands." Jian Erniang joked with Ah Mei.
Jian Siniang pouted, "What husband family, hey! It's a pity that there is one less big household. "Jian Siniang didn't prepare to take Pei San seriously from the beginning, she was just ready to coax some money from him, and if she took the man's words seriously, the only end could be that a roll of straw mats was thrown into a mass grave, and people like them could go in.
"Okay, don't mess around, have a good rest these days, and we'll take Wu Niang with us in three days." Aunt Jane said.
"Even if you take Wu Niang, she is still young." The other three sisters are puzzled, there is no blood relationship between them, they are all abandoned baby girls adopted by Aunt Jian over the years, there are seven sisters in the Jian family, Wu Niang is only ten years old this year, and Liu Niang and Qi Niang are even younger. Aunt Jane can kick shuttlecocks, so she teaches her sisters to kick shuttlecocks, and several people make a living by performing arts. It's a little bitter, but it's more comfortable than those prostitutes in Pingkang Lane, otherwise, according to Aunt Jane's old age, she will only be thrown to the lowest private dormitory by the bustard's mother, and even the old prostitutes in that kind of place will live for less than half a year.
"Of course it's to make that little lady happy." Aunt Jian said, "I think that little lady likes us to kick the shuttlecock very much, and take Wu Niang to show a few hands, maybe the little lady can take a fancy to stay, and it is also a way out for Wu Niang." β
Sanniang said: "Why don't you let Siniang do it?" Siniang Swallow is the best kicker among us. β
Siniang is very self-aware: "I'm old, and I have a lot of bad problems, so people will definitely look down on me." "Wu Niang's shuttlecock talent is the worst of their sisters, but she is the most honest of the seven of them, and I think the eldest sister also likes this. She is such a flamboyant tongue, and serious people can't look down on her.
Aunt Jian nodded, "As long as Wu Niang survives, our sisters also have hope!" "Aunt Jane, who walks in the rivers and lakes all the year round, knows very well that it is unreliable to rely on men, and to please men is to ask for some money from men, and if you want to rely on them for life, you must please women. She has seen many sisters who ran the rivers and lakes as concubines because they served the housemother wholeheartedly, won the favor of the housemother, and lived comfortably; I haven't seen anyone who only cares about pleasing a man and ends well, and most of them are lucky to get a straw mat.
Jiang Wei watched a wonderful shuttlecock, and appreciated the singing voice of everyone Liu, and went home satisfied, when Jiang Ke and Jiang Ling had not yet gone home, Mrs. Wang, Shen Qin and Jiang Wei's sister-in-law Xie and second sister-in-law Yan went to Xifu, her cousin-in-law seemed to be pregnant, and everyone congratulated her. Jiang Wei finished grooming, changed his clothes and went to find Jiang Rin.
Jiang Rin was reading a book, and when she saw Jiang Wei coming in, she put down the book and asked with a smile, "Have fun?" β
"Happy." Jiang Wei snuggled up to the uncle's side, "Dayaye, I saw someone kicking the swallow well today, I want them to come to our house, okay?" Grandma, Auntie and Auntie must like it, and there are two sisters-in-law. Jiang Wei had already made up her mind with Aunt Jane, but she still told her uncle, of course she would definitely agree.
Jiang Rin smiled, "Okay, I'll let Yimeng contact you tomorrow." "Yimeng is Jiang Rin's personal guard, and he is an all-round talent, and most of Jiang Rin's affairs are managed by him.
"Okay." Jiang Wei habitually wanted to rub into his uncle's arms and be coquettish, but thinking that he was already old, he still sat up straight.
Jiang Rin smiled and hugged her into his arms and patted her on the back, "What else did you do today besides watching people kick swallows?" In Jiang Rin's heart, no matter how old her niece grows, she is still that soft and tender baby, not to mention that the little girl has not grown up yet.
"I also listened to people singing, and I also met Brother Pei's brother-in-law." Jiang Wei was sleepy by the uncle, squinting his eyes and telling him about meeting the three brothers of the Pei family.
Jiang Rin nodded, "The Pei family has a strict upbringing, it seems that Pei San came out without hiding from his parents and brothers." β
Jiang Wei chuckled: "I also heard Siniang say that every time he said that he would reward their property, it was different from the last property, and it was good to lose half of it." β
Jiang Rin smiled, the brothers of the Pei family, the eldest is too round, the third is too mixed, the fourth and fifth are young, and they can't see anything, but the second one stands out from the crowd, and can be regarded as the dragon and phoenix among people. He saw Jiang Wei rubbing his eyes while talking to him, "Sleepy? Go to the room to rest for a while, and when your aunt and aunt come back, you will eat. β
"Hmm." Jiang rubbed her eyes slightly and walked to her room, she was raised by her uncle and aunt for a while, and later after her father and mother came back, she also had a room of her own in the uncle's yard, and sometimes she was tired of reading, so she rested in the room for a while.
Xie Ze heard that Jiang Wei was back, and after dealing with the matters at hand, he went back to the yard, and saw the little girl rubbing her eyes, lying on the bed and closing her eyes and falling asleep, Xie Ze covered her niece with a futon, kissed her sleeping face before coming out and asking Jiang Rin: "Why are you so tired?" Didn't you say go out and play? β
"Can you not get tired?" Jiang Rin poured a cup of tea for his wife, "Throw off the maid, climb the wall to find Lin Xi, and go out for a round again, watching people kick shuttlecocks and sing, but they are much busier than us." Jiang Rin teased the little niece.
"Climb the wall-" Xie Ze was dumbfounded, and then looked at Jiang Rin incredulously, "You actually taught her to climb the wall!" β
"Or else? Let her climb secretly? What should I do if I fall off? Jiang Rin looked calm.
Xie Ze laughed, when she heard that Jiang Wei climbed the wall to find Lin Xi, she frowned, "Are you really going to let her marry Lin Xi?" Xie is 10,000 unwilling nieces to marry Lin Xi, unless there is a last resort, otherwise she is resolutely opposed to girls marrying, women in the world are married, and there are few who really have a good life.
"Unless the son of the world dies." Jiang Rinyun said decisively lightly, it was not that Lin Xi was bad, nor that he had to stick to the view of the door, but that Ah Zhi would have a hard time taking this road in the future, and she was not Lin Xi who would not marry, so why let him suffer that? The world will always be the most bitter for women, men can go the wrong way, women can't be wrong at all.
"Then you still let Ah Shi go to him?" Xie Ze couldn't understand Jiang Rin's thoughts.
"Do you remember when Ah Chi was a child, he wanted to climb a tree, and the little people circled around the tree all day long?" Jiang Rin mentioned his niece with a smile on his face.
The corners of Xie Ze's mouth also flashed with a soft smile, "Why don't you remember, if you can't climb, you lie on the trunk of the tree and refuse to come down." "My niece's childhood has added a lot of jokes to their husband and wife, but it has also made them have countless worries in their hearts.
"Then I had her taught her to climb trees, and she stopped climbing a few times." Jiang Rin said, "Recently, she wanted to learn to climb the wall again, so she asked someone to teach her to climb the wall, and she climbed twice after she learned it, and I believe she won't climb in the future." "Ah Zhi is an obedient and good boy in his bones.
"What do you meanβ" Xie Ze looked at Jiang Rin thoughtfully.
"Lin Xi is the tree and the wall to Ah Zhi, if I don't allow them to be together, don't say that Ah Zhi will secretly communicate with him behind my back, even Ah Qi will." Jiang Rin had a headache when he mentioned his younger brother and younger siblings, the couple was not young, but he didn't see them grow up, he dared to guarantee that if he clearly refused, the couple would dare to help Ah Zhi elope when he turned around!
Xie Ze didn't speak, she made it clear in her eyes, it is you who spoil Jiang Ling.
Jiang Rin smiled bitterly, Ah Ning and Ah Qi were many years younger than him and his second brother, and he and Ah Ning were in the most important stage of their growth, and they happened to encounter him seriously injured and his second brother died in battle. Their affairs made his father doubt the way he raised his children, and he knew that his father regretted letting them go to war more than once, and he once said that he and his second brother were better off than now. Jiang Rin saw these in his eyes, but he didn't know how to explain his father, so his father indulged Ah Ning and Ah Qi too much. Jiang Rin couldn't reverse his father's thoughts, and when Jiang Lu was older, he took him to his side to raise him, he was really worried that his father would continue to favor Ah Ning and Ah Qi on his three nephews.
"Then why are you so strict with Lin Xi?" Xie Ze asked, everyone still thought that Lin Xi was really in his eyes.
Jiang Rinerya smiled, "He is also eleven years old, and if he is two or three years older, he will be able to receive an official position, and he will be more comfortable with his schoolwork, and he will be more comfortable with the council in the future." I remember that Shen Lao Er is coming back soon, right? He has a son who seems to be similar to Ah Zhi? "Lin Xi is eleven years old, how old is Ah Zhi? Seven years old. The child's forgetfulness is the greatest, and when Lin Xi focuses on business and no one plays with her, she naturally goes back to find other playmates, and after a long time, she doesn't remember this little brother of her childhood sweetheart, "He has been playing with Ah Zhi for so long, and he has good talents, and he should give him a good future." "Jiang Rin has always been hesitant to promote talents.
Xie Ze said: "It's about the same, I really thought you were old and confused." β
Jiang Rin laughed, "I'm old, but I'm not confused." His hand gently attached his wife's hand, "Aze, thank you for your hard work." "He is worthy of everyone in his life, and the only one he is sorry for is his wife.
Xie Ze raised his eyebrows, "Xie doesn't need to, I want to watch the sword dance, you just let Yi Meng train me a team of sword dances." β
"Okay, I'll supervise you personally." Jiang Rin said with a smile.
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled, their hands clasped together, and everything was silent.
After Lin Xi sent Jiang Wei back, he turned to Sang Xiaohong and Wu Sanniang and saluted, "I'm tired of the two of you today." β
"Big brother, your business is my business, why do you need to be so polite to me." Sang Xiaohong patted his chest and said, "Next time you take Ah Jiu out to play, you must call me, and I will definitely find you a quiet place." Hey. β
Lin Xi was silent.
Wu Sanniang was still careful and said to Lin Xi: "Lin Xiaolang, it's not early, you should go home early to rest." β
Lin Xi bowed his head, and after seeing the two leave, he turned around and prepared to go back, his servant asked: "Da Lang, the porcelain you asked for last time has been burned out of the porcelain kiln, do you still want it?" The servant asked cautiously, he remembered that the porcelain that Da Lang let the porcelain kiln burn was intended to be given to Xiao Jiuniang as a gift, and now Da Lang seems to be starting to stay away from Jiu Niang? Do you still want that set of porcelain? That set of porcelain costs a lot of money! The servant thought of the housekeeper's face and gasped, where is this burning porcelain, it is simply burning gold.
"Send it to my study first." Lin Xi was silent for a while and ordered.
The little servant answered, he turned over and got on his horse, and was about to go home, but he saw a group of people blocking the road, and the leader was also riding on a horse, looking up at him proudly.
