Although Pei Shiqing is an official under Li Mi, he is a disciple of the Pei family who serves under Li Mi in his personal name, not the entire Pei family, so although Li Mi gave a very large mansion, it is Pei Shiqing's private property and has nothing to do with the Pei family. For the survival of their clansmen, they finally bought official residences and granges in Pengcheng with their clan property to show their difference from Pei Shiqing.

This way of covering the ears and stealing the bell of the family has been tacitly accepted by the courts of all dynasties. Because of the existence of this rule, it avoids a direct collision between the imperial court and the family.

When an important child of a family commits a major crime, the court will generally negotiate with the family before dealing with it. If they encounter a strong emperor, the family will take the initiative to remove the child from the clan to show the family's 'innocence' and 'selflessness'. In this way, the purpose of the imperial court has been achieved, and there is no need to break with that family, and the family sacrifices only a child, perhaps a branch, and the interests of the family will not be damaged too much, and the result is 'everyone happy'.

Pei Shiqing is currently Li Mi's Zhongshu Ling, which can be said to be a high authority, so it is natural that he and his family live in a mansion in the city, and the clansmen are distributed in some farms outside the city.

"Please also inform Mr. Pei, the envoy of the Great Sui asks to see him, and there is a message from the princess." The sixth came to the outside of the city and went straight to Pei Su's house.

Pei Yu is the second son of the late imperial historian Pei Yun, if it weren't for Pei Yun's death at the hands of Yu Wenhua, Pei Ju would have thrown himself into Li Yuan, which turn would it be the turn of Pei Shiqing, who was unknown! Now the whole house is the foundation left by Pei Yun, so the sixth child is not worried that the porter will betray his master. The important thing is that he also heard that Pei Su and Pei Shiqing were not in harmony, and because of the eldest daughter Pei Qinghua and the second daughter Pei Yuehua, the uncle and nephew almost broke up, so he dared to boldly report his name.

"Great Sui envoy?" As soon as the porter heard this name, his face turned pale with fright, he was really afraid of something, the porter naturally knew about the relationship between his master and the Sui Dynasty, but the master never thought of having any contact with the Sui Dynasty. It's just that he didn't expect the envoy of the Sui Dynasty to come to the door by himself. I don't know what to do for a while.

"Whether you see it or not, Mr. Pei is in charge, and it has nothing to do with you. And even if Li Mi came, he wouldn't dare to stop him. The sixth said proudly, this is the confidence that the powerful Great Sui has brought him.

The porter hesitated a little and said: "It's really unfortunate, the lord and the lady went to Xingyang this morning to pay respects to Mrs. Zheng's birthday, and only the second girl is there at home, waiting for me to report to the second girl." ”

"That's very good." The sixth child secretly shouted that God helped me, and arched his hand: "It's hard work." ”

The second girl in the mouthpiece of the concierge was Pei Yuehua who Pei Shiqing brought to Yecheng back then, Pei Shiqing's intention to marry could not be done, but it angered Yang Dong and slaughtered more than 1,000 children of the family who were impostor scientific expeditions in one go.

Pei Shiqing regarded it as a great shame, and has always held a grudge, in order to avenge the revenge of the arrow, he offered Li Mi the name of borrowing Pei Yuehua and forced Pei Qinghua to marry Pei Qinghua, but unfortunately the plot was not secret, Shi Hao and others listened to this matter, which not only made this conspiracy fail, but also annoyed Wang Shichong, causing Pei Yuehua's marriage to fall through again.

Pei Yuehua was wearing thick clothes, sitting in the back garden with a stool, holding a collection of poems and essays in one hand, and unconsciously playing with a strand of hair in the other.

From time to time, a pair of autumn waves looked under the plum tree, under which there was a girl of four or five years old, holding a small shovel and busily building a snowman.

The girl was so beautiful and lovely that she let out bursts of laughter like silver bells while entertaining herself

Pei Yuehua looked up, but saw that the girl had already built a small snowman, she found three small stones, inlaid them on the snowman's head, and the stones became eyes and nose. Then he gave the snowman the prepared hat, and the snowman immediately came to life.

The girl clapped her hands and giggled with joy.

Pei Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Fang'er is so smart!" ”

The girl suddenly ran over happily, slid down possibly, and when she was still a little away from Pei Yuehua, she stumbled and fell to the ground with a chirp.

"Oops!" Pei Yuehua screamed in surprise and ran over to help her up.

"Thank you, auntie!" The girl is very polite.

"Fang'er, did the fall hurt?" Pei Yuehua gently patted the snowflakes on her body and asked anxiously.

"It doesn't hurt." The girl looked at Pei Yuehua with two big watery eyes.

"Lying is not a good child." Pei Yuehua pretended to be angry.

"Auntie, I miss my mother so much...... " The girl said as she suddenly had red circles in her eyes, tears came as she spoke, and her long eyelashes were moist.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Pei Yuehua squatted down to comfort.

"Where's the mother?"

Pei Yuehua looked at it in a ghostly manner, saw that there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang went to find Fang'er's father." ”

"What's Daddy?" Fang'er stopped crying.

"What is Daddy? What is Daddy? Even though Pei Yuehua was full of economy, she was also speechless when asked this question. When his eyes touched the book of poems, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said, "Fang'er's father is the one who wrote that book." ”

"Is Daddy a good person?"

Pei Yuehua only heard the fire in his eyes, if he hadn't been stupid when he was a child, stupidly drilling dog holes and climbing big trees to deliver messages for him, how could there be this child? But the stinky man not only didn't know himself anymore, but he actually put on a stinky face when he was in Shenwu Palace.

She wanted to tell the girl that her dad was a 'bad guy' and a 'jerk'. But when he met those beautiful eyes full of innocence, he became: "Fang'er's father is a good person." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true." Pei Yuehua said against her will.

"What does Daddy look like?" The girl asked again.

Pei Yuehua said very disgustingly: "It's very beautiful, it's beautiful." ”

"Really?" Girls seem to be drawn to the topic.

"Of course." Pei Yuehua didn't dare to say more on this topic, and said with some fear: "You can't tell others these words." Otherwise, my aunt would have to be killed. ”

The girl covered her mouth in fright and nodded her head repeatedly.

"Alright, alright! Did my aunt teach you to remember it yesterday? Pei Yuehua couldn't wait to slap herself a few times, where can the child's mouth be reliable.

"Three Character Sutra?"

"Yes, your father wrote the "Three Character Classic".

"What does Daddy look like?"

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful." Pei Yuehua said perfunctorily, but her heart was so depressed that she was going to die, and said that the indiscriminate people were doing a lot, and said with a straight face: "Endorsement." ”

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to specialize in ...... "girl's crisp children's voice, mellow and natural, like the sound of nature, cleansing people's hearts."

Pei Yuehua listened absentmindedly, she was now sad to death.

This child memorizes the "Three Character Classic" every day, and now she knows that her father wrote it, and one day she will definitely say that she will leak her mouth, and once her father asks about it, she will naturally be unlucky.

Thinking of the harsh family law that was enough to kill half a person, Pei Yuehua was so frightened that her face turned white.

"Girl, there's someone from Da Sui." A maid walked over and said softly.

"Who?" Pei Yuehua, who was half scared to death, hadn't reacted yet, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking about?" ”

"The Great Sui has sent an envoy here." The maid hurriedly said.

Pei Yuehua's face turned pale again, the stinky man has sent someone to find him now, and his father is not there, how should this be.

Her face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and she pulled out a white scarf from her waist to cover her pretty face like flowers and jade, revealing only her graceful eyebrows like a spring mountain and her eyes as bright as autumn water. She took a few steps, and her eyes fell on the girl who was looking at her, and as if she understood something, she said to the maid, "Invite them to the antechamber first." ”

"Whoa." The maid respectfully withdrew.

"Fang'er!" Pei Yuehua beckoned the girl, was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Accompany my aunt to meet a guest." ”

"Auntie, where are the guests? Can I see it too? The girl looked strangely at her aunt with big eyes.

Pei Yuehua's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she nodded firmly: "Wait until you see the guests, don't speak, understand?" ”

"Good!" The girl nodded as if she didn't understand, and let her aunt lead her towards the front hall.

In the front hall, the sixth child was sitting there, but he was thinking about how to let the noble girl follow him to Yecheng without crying or making trouble. At this time, there was a sound of ringing, and the sixth child quickly stood up.

"Dare to ask Mr. is the envoy of the Great Sui?" Pei Yuehua glanced at the sixth child and bowed slightly.

"Sui envoy Lu Yan has seen Miss Pei, and he was ordered by the Holy Order to take the noble girl Fang to Yecheng." Lu Yan saluted.

"Who's going to pick me up?" The girl pursed her lips, her big eyes showing a hint of wariness.

Lu Yan only glanced at the girl, and the purest and purest warm current surged in his heart. This little girl is carved in pink and jade, with a round little face, probably because she is tired of running, and the red flutter is cute, which makes people can't help but have the idea of pinching it gently. What shocked him even more was the girl's appearance, and he hurriedly said: "Back to the son-in-law, the saint asked his subordinates to take you back to Yecheng." ”

"Is Pei Qinghua okay?" Pei Yuehua suddenly asked

Lu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the other party was trying to avoid this girl, and immediately understood: "It's not good." ”

"What's wrong with her?" Pei Yuehua asked nervously.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan had already thought of a way to take the girl away safely, and he said in a deep voice: "Her two maids are actually the dead soldiers of your Pei clan, and they were ordered to assassinate the saint, and she blocked a knife, and now the situation is quite bad...... I want to see my loved ones. ”

"What? Are you serious? Pei Yuehua's heart was shocked, and her mind went blank.

Lu Yan said solemnly: "How dare my subordinates hide this matter? ”

Pei Yuehua thought of Xiao Xifang's nightmares in the past two nights, and her heart was suddenly confused, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"The son-in-law is now inseparable from her relatives. Originally, we wanted to ask Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei to accompany our son-in-law to the north, but the two of us are not here now, so I sincerely ask you to come with us, presumably you don't want to make my sister regret. Although Lu Yan didn't know what the relationship between Xiao Xifang and Pei Qinghua was, just from her appearance, she knew that she had a great relationship with Yang Tong, and saw that Pei Yuehua and Xiao Xifang had a close relationship.

"My parents just left this morning, and you're letting me go north with you now. There may not be such a coincidence in the world, right? Pei Yuehua was a child of the family in the end, and quickly recovered from the shock.

"Miss Pei, say something you don't like to hear. Whenever troubled times come, the favorite thing for your family to do is to bet on multiple sides in the form of marriage, no matter who has the last laugh, they will benefit. With the prestige of my Great Sui today, as long as the saint says it casually, the five surnames and seven sects and other big families will rush to send the concubines of the clan to Yecheng to curry favor with the saint. So we don't have to cheat at all. Lu Yan said disdainfully.

Pei Yuehua's expression became worse, although what Lu Yan said was very difficult to hear, she also knew that Yang Tong cared about Xiao Xifang, and she would take Xiao Xifang away no matter what. If Yang Tong was interested in her, she would have been a mother of several children, and she would still be a yellow flower girl who couldn't get married.

Even now, as long as Yang Tong opens his mouth to ask the Pei family for it, it is estimated that the family will happily send him to Yecheng, even so, why does Yang Dong, as the emperor, use shady means to deceive himself?

But she still asked: "With the current situation of the Great Sui, as long as the Holy Lord speaks to the King of Wei, I am afraid that the King of Wei will also send heavy troops to escort him, doesn't Mr. plan to inform the King of Wei?" ”

"We can't trust Li Mi, this villain." Lu Yan glanced at Pei Yuehua, and then said: "When Sister Ling went north, Li Mi withdrew the army he escorted halfway, but secretly asked Dou Jiande to send three thousand elite cavalry to intercept it on the way. If it weren't for our army to be able to fight well, I'm afraid that Sister Ling wouldn't survive Yecheng. ”

"Then I'll accompany Fang'er to Yecheng, but I don't know when we will leave?" Pei Yuehua just thought about it for a while, and then agreed. She was also very worried about her sister.

"Time is running out, and we hope to leave tonight." Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "For the sake of safety, please don't alarm other people." Maids, it's better to be trustworthy. ”

"Okay, please come to the back door to pick me up and Fang'er at night."
