Chapter 3, North and South Raccoon Dogs

Pei Gai was in Huying before, just a temporary existence, not home, now although to Jiangdong, but still feel like floating duckweed, can not find their own foundation, so during the banquet drank a few more glasses of wine, will come out of the mouth "If you send food, even the ointment is tasteless". ◢ Sui ◢ Dream ◢ Xiao ◢ lā Wang Dao didn't think it was wrong, and comforted him with a smile, saying that you don't have to worry, I believe that King Langya will soon give you a mansion and land.

Pei Gai sighed softly and looked around at everyone: "Your family is so prosperous, and my Pei family in Hedong may have to cross the Yangtze River alone...... Doesn't the comparison of the two make people sorrowful? That is, the king gave him land and mansions, but he was just a single family, what will he rely on? "It's useless for the family to have a good reputation, and you have to be prosperous and rich in property to last for generations, and now there is only one Pei family in Jiangdong, so what's the difference between it and the poor family of the single family?

Arch a hand: "You still need your support." ”

Director Wang said that this is how it should be. Wang Shu interjected and said: "Jiangdong raccoon dog slaves cursed us as 'Beiling', thinking that they were here to take their food. Director Wang waved his hand and said that you are cautious, and you are both ministers of the same country, what do you say "Southern Raccoon" and "Northern Ling"? We should all work together to restore stability and peace in the country.

Pei Gai is right: "I came from Shile's army, and I know that he has a quarrel with Pingyang because of the killing of Wang Mi, and in time, he will start fighting." The north captives the wall, and we are united, so why are we afraid that the Central Plains will not be restored, and the old ones will not be returned? ! His words were impassioned, but everyone present didn't seem to have any reaction, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart. I had to change the topic and ask Director Wang: "Isn't Brother Chu Zhong in Jianye?" ”

These are all powerless scholars here, only Wang Dun in the Wang family can barely be considered able to fight, where is he now?

Wang Dao replied: "Brother Chu Zhong saw that he was the assassin of Jiangzhou, and the garrison Peng Ze, if Ji Siyuan was defeated by Shile, he would have to rush to the aid of the starry night." Now that I heard that Shile's army had retreated, I would return to Jianye with Brother Chu Hong in the near future, and pay homage to the princess of the East China Sea, Brother Pingzi, who was far away in Xiangyang, or could not return to ......"

Pei Gai has been collecting and sorting out the memories of this life in his mind for most of the year, but after all, the body is and the soul is not, and a lot of information is separated by a layer. "Brother Chu Zhong" refers to Wang Dun, and "Brother Chu Hong" is Wang Dun's brother Wang Han, oh, these two are in Peng Ze in Jiangzhou, and they will come to Jianye in a few days; "Brother Pingzi" refers to Wang Yan's brother Wang Cheng, who is said to be very capable of fighting, and he is now in Xiangyang, so he should not be able to come back.

However, only Pei should know that this Wang Cheng, I am afraid that he will never have a chance to come to Jianye again, and it is estimated that he will not survive this year......

After thinking about it, he asked, "Where is Brother Ling Shihong?" ”

Wang Shihong is famous, is Wang Dao's cousin, it is said that Sima Rui's southern town Jiangdong was the first idea he gave - because he used to be a Danyang Taishou and was more familiar with the situation in the south.

Wang Dao sighed softly: "I led the army to aid the party, but I was defeated by Liu Cong, and I don't know whether I ......live or die" Wang Kuang was not only the first to suggest Nandu, but his reputation in the Wang family should surpass Wang Dao and Wang Dun, and only under Wang Yan and Wang Cheng, so later generations commented that if he is still alive, Nandu's Langya Wang family should be headed by him, and Wang Dao's seat should be given to him to sit. However, Pei Gai suddenly asked about Wang Kuanglai, in fact, he meant it was his son-

"Although Wang Shihongzi is young, he is good at calligraphy, can he be in Jiangdong?"

Director Wang replied: "See in Jianye, bred by the clansmen. Next to him, Wang Di asked: "Xizhi was good at calligraphy at the age of seven, and now he is nine years old - Wenyue has also heard of his name?" ”

Pei Caixin said of course, how could I not have heard of the name of the dignified "Book Saint"? But he's only nine years old now...... He immediately replied, "Because I am not good at calligraphy, and my pen is very clumsy, I want to learn from the Master...... I thought that Wang Xizhi would be crowned and could be my teacher, and I didn't want to be a boy. "Then forget it, I don't have a reason to learn calligraphy from a child, it's too embarrassing.

Wang Di said: "Xi Zhijian follows everyone to study, and Wen Yue can also try to visit him." Director Wang waved his hand: "The Wei family is a woman after all, but you can teach your children, how can you teach Wenyue?" "It's not appropriate for men and women to kiss each other.

Pei Gaiyi frowned: "Who are you talking about?" Wang Di smiled and said: "Nai Yang Chenggong's nephew, Wei Daoshu's daughter's brother, and Li Maoyue's wife is also ......."

Pei Caixin said again? I'll have to translate and search my head before I understand...... It turns out that the so-called "Chenggong of Jiangyang" refers to the famous minister of the Western Jin Dynasty and the great calligrapher Wei Xuan; "Wei Daoshu" refers to Wei Xuan's nephew, who was Wei Zhan of Jiangzhou Thorn History; "Li Maoyue" refers to the former Ruyin Taishou Li Ju. Director Wang said: "Li Chongzi, the son of the Wei family, also has the charm of his ancestors and his mother's calligraphy, and I am trying to dispel it as Peng, and I can ask him for advice in the future." ”

Pei Gaixin said in his heart, "Wei everyone", can't it be Mrs. Wei, the teacher of Wang Xizhi? Oh, then I really want to see it when I have a chance. He didn't expect that only a few days later, the Wei family would take the initiative to come to the door......

——————————

Under the repeated requests of the princess Pei of the East China Sea, in the end, Sima Rui did not build a new mansion for her in the east of the city, but gave up two palace villas, slightly renovated, and let her and Pei Gai live in. When the aunt and nephew met again a few days later, Pei Shi said, I was really depressed in the palace - "Only Jingwen (Sima Rui) treats each other sincerely, and the rest is perfunctory, as for their relatives...... Don't talk about it. "Although she is still a princess, after all, she has no husband and no children, this vassal king has broken off the heir, maybe one day she will be removed from the country, how can the kings' relatives really be good to her?

Only Sima Rui remembered the grace of the past, and more importantly, Wang Dao reminded him that there are still many protégés and former officials of Sima Yue, and they may all come south one after another, if you can firmly hold the princess of the East China Sea in your hands, are you afraid that you will not be able to subdue the hearts of those people? So he was very respectful to this uncle. This time, not only did he allow the construction of the East China Sea Palace, so that the Pei family could live elsewhere, but also specially gave dozens of slaves and maids, 20,000 yuan, 500 horses of silk, and 300 acres of land.

As for Pei Gai, naturally there are also rewards, and in addition, Wang Dao also sent Pei Gai five servants.

But Pei Gai was not satisfied, because of the search memory, he originally rode a regular attendant and the marquis of Nanchang County to worship much more than this, and the Pei family is in Hedong, but the land is even Qianmo, and more than half of the land in Wenxi County is theirs, this luxury is used to it, you only give a hundred acres of land to manage eggs? "They have been coming south for a long time, and they have seized tens of millions of acres of land, and now they are three hundred acres with us, but three or four households have cultivated, how stingy!"

Pei Shi comforted Pei Gai and said, "The fields are cultivated by each family, who is willing to give them away?" However, with the talent of Wenyue, I believe that the industry will be reset, and it will not be worse than the Wang family. And ......" smiled mysteriously as he spoke: "Even Jianye, it is not all without my Pei family's relatives, they will come to the door soon, let's wait a while." ”

Pei should know that "Yongjia Nandu", countless Central Plains scholars fled to Jiangdong, in addition to those surnamed Wang, there must be themselves...... The person who was originally known by this body. A few days ago, they lived in the Wang Dao's mansion, and it was inconvenient for them to come over to visit, but now that they have a home, they will definitely come to the door one after another. But I can't think of who might be...... Pei's relatives? In addition to the Wang family and the Sima family, which one else?

As a result, either they did not come, but when they came, they formed a group, and when they got up early the next morning, a servant handed over a thick stack of famous thorns. This servant's real name is Wang Ling, and Director Wang said that he is clever and familiar with the Nandu family inside and outside Jianye, so he recommends it to Pei to be a housekeeper. But since he has followed the Pei family, he has to change his name to Pei Ling according to the rules, and the name is unacceptable!

Pei's family is said to be after the surname Fei Lian - that is to say, it is the same ancestor as Qin Shi Huang - Fei Lian VI Sun Ling was enshrined in Ping, called Ping's, and later transferred to Pei (the original word is Shangnon Xiayi), which is called Pei's - so the ancestor of the Pei family is called Pei Ling, how can this name be used by a subordinate?

Pei Cai couldn't help but think maliciously: Wang Maohong, didn't you really mean it? Simply, I'll change the maid's name to "Pei Ren". One is that I originally had an unlucky servant named Pei Ren in Hu Ying, and I didn't have to remember a new name; Second...... If I send him back one day, should he be called Wang Ren?

——Wang Ren is the ancestor of the Langya Wang family, and the grandfather of Wang Xiang and Wang Lan.

Director Wang is not wrong in what he said, this Pei Ren knows more about the situation of each family in Nandu, so the stack of famous thorns is arranged in order from top to bottom according to the distance between relatives and status. Pei Cai glanced at the top one first, and couldn't help but be surprised, so he hurriedly straightened his clothes and walked out quickly.

Outside the door, there were more than a dozen people, but at first it was a noble lady, wearing a hat on her head, and a light veil covering her face. But Pei Gai didn't need to recognize his face—in fact, he might not recognize his face—so he threw himself in front of the noblewoman, pretending to choke, and calling him "aunt".

The woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to help: "Wenyue doesn't have to be like this, get up and speak." ”

How did he come up with another aunt? It turned out that Pei Gai's great-uncle Pei Hui had four sons, the eldest Pei Li, the second Pei Kang, the third Pei Kai, and the fourth Pei Xuan; Among them, Pei Kang gave birth to Pei Dun, Pei Shao, etc., and Pei Shi, the princess of the East China Sea, who married Sima Yue; Pei Kai gave birth to Pei Zhan, Pei Xian, etc., and the aunt in front of him married Wei Zong's young son Wei Yi.

The Wei family's hometown is also in Hedong, and it is in a different county from the Pei family in the same county - Pei's is in Wenxi, and Wei's is in Anyi - so the relationship between the two families has always been very good, and they can marry each other. In fact, Wang Dao and Wang Di mentioned Wei's a few days ago, but Pei Gai didn't take it to heart at that time - because Wei Qian was killed by Sima Weijiao, the king of Chu, twenty years ago, and his sons all died together, Mrs. Wei should be the daughter of her brother Wei Shi, who would have thought that Wei Qiang's daughter-in-law could also follow him across the river?

Pei should welcome everyone outside the door into the house, and the Pei family of the gate said hello to him, and then turned around to visit his cousin Princess Donghai - in fact, she had already entered the palace a few days ago and met her cousin, so Concubine Pei said: "Even Jianye, it is not all without my Pei's relatives...... "Today, this Pei family is coming again, mainly for several other people to introduce."

Many of the people who came with her were members of the Wei family, including the "Wei Daoshu" mentioned by Wang Di, that is, Wei Zhan, the nephew of Wei Guan and the son of Wei Shi, as well as his brother-in-law (Mrs. Wei's husband) Li Ju Li Maoyo, and several members of the Wei clan. In addition, there is also a person surnamed Wei, who is in his twenties, born with light eyebrows and phoenix eyes, hanging nose and sandalwood, at first glance it seems to be a woman dressed as a man, and she has to be a sick beauty like Lin Daiyu. Pei Gai just knew that his aunt was coming, so he hurried out to greet him, so he didn't take a closer look at the other famous thorns, I don't know who this is, and I have to show Wei to introduce:

"This nephew Wei Jue also."

Pei Caixin said no wonder, it turned out to be Wei Shubao!

This Wei Jue is said to be a famous beautiful man in the Jin Dynasty, but his body has been very weak, and he got sick at both ends in three days, and as a result, he came to Jianye from Jiangxia once, and people rushed to watch his peerless appearance, which actually made Wei Jue disturbed, his condition worsened, and he died not long after...... Therefore, it is also called "watching and killing Wei Jue".

But is this sick look in vogue now? In later generations, many little fresh meat looks more like girls than him, but they are all healthy, so it is impossible to attract fans by relying on their sick appearance, right?

In addition to Wei Jue, what surprised Pei even more was that there were several people surnamed Pei in this group. The first person looked at Pei Gai deeply, and his expression was extremely exaggerated: "I am outside the lonely clan, and now I have to meet the second brother Zunfan, I am really overjoyed...... Tears came down directly as he spoke. Pei Caixin said no, you have an old beard, an air-dried orange peel face, and you look like you are not in your fifties but in your forties, you call me "brother"?!

After careful questioning, I learned that it was originally after the Pei clan - in fact, if you talk about blood relationship, it can't be considered very sparse, this Pei heir Pei Jichan was originally the great-grandson of Pei Jun, the brother of his great-ancestor Pei Qian.

The ancestor Pei Mao had five sons, the long name Qian-that is, Pei Gai's great-grandfather-the second name, three emblems, four Ji, and five Xuan. Among them, Pei Qian and Pei Juan were both officials to Wei Shangshuling, Pei Hui did the assassination of Wei Jizhou, and Pei Ji was a little closer, and only got the idle position of Dr. Wei Jin Ziguanglu; Only the second child, Pei Jun, actually made Guangluxun in Shishu!

It is said that when Pei Jun was not yet an adult, he sent his brother-in-law to Shu to take up the long history of a county, who would have thought that he would succeed and not come back, and then the world was in turmoil, and the road was blocked, so he was forced to stay in Shu, and when he became an adult, he first came out of Liu Zhang, and then followed Liu Bei. His son, Pei Yue, served as an overseer in Shu Han until Cao Wei destroyed Shu before he was moved back to the Central Plains and settled in Luoyang.

Therefore, this group and several other houses have been separated from the enemy country for a long time, and then due to the situation, they have not moved back to Hedong to live in the Ju tribe, and the relationship has always been relatively estranged. According to Pei Si, he ran out with people before the Hu Han army surrounded Luo last year, including his son Pei Chang, and his family had only about a dozen people, and he had no assets, so he had to live with the Wei family in Jiangnan.

Immediately, Pei Si called his son Pei Chang over and kowtowed to Pei to recognize his uncle. Pei Caixin said that your name is not good, it is called "compensation", which is unlucky - but in these years, there is no word "compensation", so there is no word "compensation". Seeing that Pei Chang is about the same age as himself, then you better not be so flattering as your father, and call me uncle honestly.

Anyway, I remember that during the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, there were indeed a few people with the surname Pei - for example, Pei Songzhi who was going to make a sparse for the "Three Kingdoms" - but I don't know where the roots of Nandu are, it can't be your one, right?
