Chapter 38: The Yuan Day
In the midst of the disturbances, Dawei has gone through four years of Zhengguang, and Wuchuan City has ushered in the first dawn of five years of Zhengguang.
At the foot of Yin Mountain in the south of the city, Pei's house is lit up, and the kitchen is even hotter with green smoke and white fog. In front of the house outside the courtyard, Pei Guo and his subordinates were posting a portrait of Shen Tu Yulei on the door, and they were not very satisfied with the left and right, so they posted it and peeled it off, and then pasted it, so they were busy for a while.
It didn't take long for Wei Niangzi's voice to sound, but there were too many things in the room and there was a shortage of manpower, so she was a little dissatisfied with Pei Guo's dedication to the door and consumed a lot of time and manpower. Pei Guo was helpless, so he hurriedly called someone in to help, and stayed in front of the door by himself to continue.
Finally put it neatly, Pei Guo was behind, looking up and down, left and right, and was very satisfied. Just as he was about to raise his feet into the house, he suddenly said "Huh", his tone was quite surprised--- he hadn't paid attention to it when he was busy before, and then he suddenly found that the surroundings were extremely quiet today, and few people were heard. Pei Guo frowned slightly, and secretly thought: Today is the first day, even if the world is not quiet, it will not be so depressed? In previous years, even in this remote mountain village, there were many adults walking around and children frolicking. What's going on?
Although he was puzzled, Pei Guo didn't care, clapped his hands, and sprinkled into the house in a dashing manner. Soon Pei's house opened a banquet, worthy of the Yin family, although it was only a daytime meal, but also vegetables, flesh and preserved fruits, and on the first day, there were also some wine soup and auxiliary meals. The Pei family is small, and the owner of the family is generous, so he called the people to sit together, so the family ate and drank, and it was lively.
The atmosphere was good, Wei Niangzi took a sip of sweet wine, cleared her throat, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a creak outside the courtyard, and the door of the house was pushed open!
The whole seat was stunned, and when their eyes swept away, they saw a thin figure stumbling in, and when they looked at it, was it the little lady Su Li next door?
In fact, Wei Niangzi had prepared a big meal today, and planned to give it to Su Li Xiaoniang later, as for her old slave and Erlang, she didn't want to see her. Seeing that the little lady came at this moment, Wei Niangzi smiled, raised her voice and shouted: "The little lady came just in time!" It's freezing on this day, so sit down and eat some hot soup! After saying this, Su Li Xiaoniang had come to the front and raised her head, Wei Niangzi found that Xiaoniang's forehead and face were full of wounds, and a pair of rough hands stretched out, bloodstained and shocking.
Wei Niangzi's face suddenly changed, and she said angrily: "What's the matter? The old slave beat and scolded you again? ”
"Yes ... Ah no... Su Li Xiaoniang's face was anxious, and she shook her head again and again: "Aunt Wei, you... Slave me ... "Even the comparison and the stroke, but no matter how bad it is, it is not good. Wei Niangzi didn't know why for a while, she was stunned on the spot, so anxious that Su Li Xiaoniang turned her face, stared at Pei Guo with a pair of black eyes, and stopped talking several times.
Pei Guo was still thoughtful, and seeing that it was inconvenient for Xiao Niang to say something in public, he said: "Xiao Niang, don't worry, please follow me into the back room to talk." He got up and took a step, and added: "Mother is here too!" Wei Niangzi answered and went into the house.
When he spoke, his tone was gentle, with a smile on his white face, Su Li Xiaoniang listened to it, and when she saw it in her eyes, she felt that her heart suddenly stabilized a lot, and the panic on her face gradually disappeared, and she wiped it vigorously on the brown skirt with both hands, and followed in three steps and two steps.
"Little lady, why are you so anxious?" Wei Niangzi opened her mouth first: "Where did you get the wounds on your face and hands?" You're that bastard again? ”
"Auntie..." Su Li Xiaoniang didn't seem to want to say this, but when she saw Wei Niangzi and Pei Guo both frowning and looking at her, she had to say, "No, no!" The slave's hand,It was injured when he pried the door hard.,As for the face?。。。 Oops, auntie! Pei Langjun! Things are in a hurry, let's not talk about this little thing... ”
Wei Niangzi and Pei Guo glanced at each other--- needless to say, the injuries on Xiao Niang's hands may have been caused by herself, but the injuries on her face... It must still be called an old slave!
Pei Guo said gently: "What's the hurry?" Don't panic, take your time. Also, why do you pry the door so hard that you hurt your hands? ”
Su Li Xiaoniang looked at Pei Guo, nodded slightly, took a long breath, and said in a much soothing tone: "The slave was really locked in the house by Yeye, and she was in a hurry to find the eldest lady and Pei Langjun, so she pried the door hard." ”
Pei Guo frowned: "Why are you locked in the house?" ”
Su Li Xiaoniang was already much calmer, but at this time, a slight panic flashed on her black face, opened her mouth twice, and finally stomped her foot and said: "Last night, the slave overheard Ye Ye talking to the second brother, and was accidentally discovered by him and others, and he was afraid that I would leak the news, so he locked me in the house." Today, Ye Ye and the second brother went out early in the morning, and the slave was bold and broke out of the door! ”
Wei Niangzi said curiously: "What did the two of them say so important, and you heard it, and you wanted to lock you in the house?" ”
"Ye Ye and the second brother said that the two of them are going to rebel!"
"Flutter!" Pei Guo couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "Old slave, oh no, your family is going to rebel?" I'm afraid that the little lady didn't hear it wrong... Wei Niangzi glanced at Pei Guo, but she didn't believe it with the look on her face.
"Pei Langjun, don't believe it!" Su Li Xiaoniang didn't care about the ridicule in Pei Guo's words, and her expression was very serious: "The slave listened carefully, saying that this time it was the Monaro brothers in the southern city of Wuchuan who were in charge, and many soldiers and townspeople were involved. Ye Ye spoke very firmly, saying that the Monaro brothers had been planning for a long time, but they were only soldiers in Wuchuan, and I was afraid that half of them would rebel together! That's right, not only the slave family, but also several families in the village! ”
"Shhh Pei Guo gasped, and the expression on his face became very solemn--- he knew that the Monaro brothers in the southern city of Wuchuan were a few famous thorns in the town soldiers, and they were the most stubborn and ruthless. There are five brothers in his family, all of whom have some skills, and they are soldiers in the town together, so naturally no one dares to bully, so they have attracted a lot of followers and are quite powerful. It's just that he has a few low family backgrounds, and he can't always get the position of town general, and he complains a lot on weekdays. If it is said that his brothers are in charge, it is indeed somewhat credible. What's more, Su Li Xiaoniang has always only walked around on the left, and she has never been to Wuchuan City a few times, if she didn't listen to Su Li Lao Nu, how could she know the name of the Monalo brothers? Besides, with Xiaoniang's personality, how could she deceive Pei Guo's mother and son?
No wonder it's so strange today, the village is so quiet, and one by one I don't know where I went. Now it seems that I am afraid that I am just like Su Li Lao Nu and Su Li Erlang, and go out to work and rebel. If the soldiers and townspeople of Stowe rebel together, it will be a real big deal! A big thread wrinkled between Pei Guo's eyebrows: Is it possible... The Huaihuang Rebellion is going to be repeated in Wuchuan?
