At the foot of the mountain, the master is a mother and son, the mother Wei, the husband died early, and the young man in Tsing Yi is his only son, surnamed Pei Mingguo, sixteen years old, and has not yet taken the word.

If you talk about the origin, Pei Guo's family is from the Pei family in Hedong, which is one of the few high-ranking families in the world. In the last years of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Yongjia Rebellion, the northern scholars moved south, and the Pei clan in Hedong also migrated to Jiangdong. At the end of the Southern Qi Dynasty, the patriarch at that time was Pei Shuye, a famous general of the Southern Dynasty, who was ordered to guard Shouyang, an important town in Huainan, the gateway --- Southern Qi. Wei and Qi clashed, Pei Shuye repeatedly frustrated the Northern Wei attack, so that the Wei people did not dare to go south to herd horses, which can be described as outstanding achievements. Unexpectedly, Xiao Baojuan, the marquis of Southern Qi and Dongdu, succeeded to the throne, absurd and brutal, wantonly killing his courtiers, and the Quartet was frightened and rebelled. Pei Shuye was full of suspicion, and in desperation, he moved the whole family of Jiangdong to Shouyang, and raised Shouyang to join the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei court was overjoyed, and still took Pei Shuye to town Shouyang, and granted the envoy to hold the festival, scatter the cavalry, and supervise the military of the five states of Yu Yongyan and Xu Si, the general of the expedition to the south, and the history of the assassin of Yuzhou, and the founding prince of Lanling County, which was prominent for a while.

Pei Shuye soon died of illness, and the Pei clan moved north, and many of his children were feudal marquis and worshiped generals, and they were prosperous in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Pei Guo's father, Pei Zun, is Pei Shuye's nephew, and he also moved north with the clansmen. Pei Zunxin, a high-minded and arrogant person, left the clan angrily, went to Wuchuan, and settled down. Although he has a high temperament, he is not good at making friends with the powerful in the town, and he has good talents in the end, and he has set up a gateway in Wuchuan in a few years, not as good as the wealthy family, but he is also above average. Later, he married his wife Wei, who was very affectionate, and gave birth to Pei Guo and the family was happy. I don't want to take a day off for a year, but a serious illness hit five years ago, and Pei Zunyi couldn't afford to be sick. He knew that time was running out, so he repeatedly told his beloved wife to raise Pei Guo to become a talent, and Wei Niangzi tearfully agreed. After the matter was settled, Pei Zun died, leaving orphans and widows.

Fortunately, Wei Niangzi's family is also a descendant of the Central Plains clan who moved to the six towns in the past, and she is slightly powerful. With the help of others, coupled with her own shrewdness and ability, her family has not fallen into disadvantage in the past five years. Wei Niangzi is knowledgeable and courteous, naturally not like those wealthy families who can raise private soldiers and domestic slaves, but she can also afford to use six or seven servants and maids. It's just that she is simple in nature, so the Pei family has not built a big house, and she dresses very plainly on weekdays. In addition to running the house, Wei Niangzi urged Pei Guo to practice martial arts every day, and did not dare to slack off.

After her husband's death, Wei Niangzi ran the family business, and she had to show her head, but Hu Feng was strong in the land of Six Towns, and it was not unusual for the woman to be in charge. She is a native of Wuchuan, and she is more handy than Pei Zun when dealing with the powerful people in the town, so she has formed many families, such as the black otter family on the table. The black otter is a small character, its big name Yuwentai, is a descendant of the royal family of the Yuwen tribe of the Xianbei clan in the Jin Dynasty, and his father Yuwen Qiu is one of the best in Wuchuan Town, and he has a Yuwen clan soldier under his hand. The girl in Hufu is Yu Wentai's younger sister, named Yu Wenying. There are three brothers above Yuwentai: Yuwen Hao, Yuwen Lian, and Yuwen Luosheng. The round-faced boy and the half-grown boy are a pair of brothers, the elder brother is called Hou Mo Chen Yue, and the younger brother is called Hou Mo Chen Chong. His father Hou Mo Chen Xing was a close friend of Yuwen Qiu before his death, served as the commander of the military town, was seriously injured in the battle with the Rouran people, and entrusted the two brothers to Yuwen Qiu before his death, and since then he has lived in Yuwen's home for a long time.

These teenagers and girls are of the same age, and they have been mixed together all day long since they were young, and their feelings are naturally very strong. Today, a few gathered in one place, and suddenly heard that Wei Niangzi, who was a skilled cook, was going to cook in person, and she was impatient and hugged Pei's house together. When he was joking, Pei Guo made a joke about Yu Wenying, which was the only one.

So a few sat down. Wei Niangzi "gave an order", but when she saw the wind and clouds, everyone ate so happily.

While eating and drinking, I heard a movement in the courtyard next door. First, there was the sound of a clay pot and wooden bowl falling to the ground, then an old and rude male voice began to scold, as if it had moved its hands and feet, and then it was a woman's voice, whining and sobbing.

Everyone frowned together.

Yu Wentai shook his head and said, "Here we go again!" I'm going to go crazy every once in a while! This Su Li old slave is really vicious, and his own little lady fights mercilessly. Pei Guo sighed and said: "The most pitiful thing is Su Li Xiao Niang, who makes cattle and horses for the old slave and Su Li Dalang Erlang every day, so she still has a restless life... Hou Mo Chen Yue snorted coldly: "I went crazy when I was picky and fed, this lame old slave was deliberately trying to make me eat unhappily, I was hateful!" ”

He said casually, obviously he had seen a lot about the things in the house next door, and he was not surprised. However, Yuwenying Pei's family came less, and he didn't know why, so he asked curiously. Pei Guo said slightly: It turned out that Su Li's family of four, Su Li Laohan, Da Lang, and Erlang were all town soldiers, and there was a shortage of food and salary in the military town in these years, and the family was already unable to make ends meet. pointed to the little mother, not only to serve his father and brother to eat, drink and live, but also to sew and repair subsidies to supplement the family, every day to get up early in the morning and work hard in the dark, from time to time by Su Li and his son for no reason to beat and scold.

"How can there be such a father and brother in the world? Or is it not human? After hearing this, Yu Wenying's face turned red with anger: "No! I'm in charge of this! Fourth brother! You come with me to Su Li's house to reason! ”

On the side, Hou Mo Chen Yue sneered: "Reasonable? Just that drunken old slave, can you make a point with him? ”

Yuwenying stood up suddenly, but was pulled by Yuwentai: "Little sister! It's just that I don't care. But this kind of pickled thing can be seen everywhere in and out of the town, how much can you manage? ”

Yuwen Yingwu was unconvinced, her chest rose and fell, and unconsciously, her eyes turned to Pei Guo.

Pei Guo scratched his head, and just didn't know where to start, he heard Wei Niangzi open her mouth first: "In the end, Ying'er has a good heart, and Su Li Xiaoniang is indeed pitiful... It's not good for me to come forward, so let's do it, Guo'er, you send a drink and food to the next door, maybe the old slave is full of food and drink, and he will no longer beat and scold the little lady... Eh, I have to count it once. ”

Yu Wenying suddenly showed her face, stepped forward and grabbed Wei Niangzi's arm, and said slightly: "Auntie... The eldest lady is the best for Ying'er. Wei Niangzi touched her hair and just smiled.

Pei Guo hurriedly called the little maid to prepare a large portion of wine and food, got up and left, and Yuwen Hero followed him with high spirits. At this time, the brothers were naturally not far behind, Yuwentai followed first, and Hou Mo Chen Yue followed. The little chubby Hou Mo Chen Chong also came out, his cheeks bulging, and he still had a half-bitten chicken leg in his hand...
