Chapter 614: The courtyard is a little deeper

is different from Pei Zhaodi's hypocrisy, Zhou Jiyue has always been a person who doesn't like her mother-in-law. followed Pei Bao'er to her boudoir, and after seeing that she had sent the two maids away, she asked bluntly, "Have you ever seen King Jin alone?" ”

Such a straightforward question made Pei Bao'er, who saw this Sect Master of Zhou for the first time, pale. Her hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists unconsciously, and her teeth couldn't help but bite her lip slightly. If it weren't for the person standing opposite, it really put a lot of pressure on her, and she could even bite her lip to bleed. It took a few moments for her to regain her composure.

"That's right." Knowing that at this moment, the hypocrisy and prevarication would only make people look down on her, so she simply broke the jar and said, "I have been eager to leave this family since I was sensible, and when I am a little older, I hope to find someone who can still see it to marry immediately." I know that the Pei family has raised me for so many years, and the daughter who marries out has to pay a dowry, always hoping to reap a benefit, but now that the family has fallen to this state, even those old men have become candidates for marriage because of interests, I really can't bear it! ”

"Then you think that you are already a top nobleman in Beiyan, and now the King of Jin, who has come from the south and is highly courteous, can look down on you?"

Faced with this extremely sharp rhetorical question, Pei Baoer simply raised her head and looked directly into Zhou Jiyue's eyes, and said without evasion: "I don't know if he can look at me, but at least he is not married, I am not married, why can't I give it a try?" Marrying the daughter of the prime minister, those who were once hostile to the King of Jin can always stop a little, can't they? ”

Speaking of this, her face gradually darkened: "But now that my father has become a scholar, the Pei family's wall has fallen and everyone has pushed it, and even the family members of a small Zhongshu next door can break into the backyard, and the so-called family has only one name left, so I am even less important...... Of course, once upon a time, I was a prime minister's concubine, and I was not worthy of him, I just wanted to fight for the best for myself within the scope of what I could strive for. ”

Until Pei Bao'er finished speaking in one breath, Zhou Jiyue hesitated for a moment, thinking that she hadn't drawn the final bottom line for herself, so she simply said openly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin told the emperor about seeing you." ”

As soon as these words came out, she saw that Pei Baoer's originally snow-white face had almost lost all the blood, and her shoulders trembled slightly, but her waist was still straight, and she did not lose her soul and become paralyzed because the opportunity was revealed. So, she said the second half of the sentence.

"You should also know that the emperor once wanted to marry the daughter of the royal family to King Jin, but King Jin confessed that he had no intention of marrying a wife. Moreover, now the Emperor of Beiyan actually claims to be from Qingcheng, Zhen Rong, who stayed in Beiyan before, is the widow of King Jin, although King Jin said that he denied it, but he also said to the emperor that he can be an idle cloud and wild crane, because he doesn't even have to worry about his heirs. ”

"In his life, he will not marry a wife, at most he will only take a concubine. That's what I want to convey to you. This is also what he said in front of the emperor, Qianqiu heard it with his own ears, and there will be no fake. ”

When the matter came to an end, Zhou Jiyue still decided to make it clear, even if Yue Qianqiu would complain angrily afterwards that this was not matchmaking, but a bad thing, then she would admit it. She really can't do the act of abducting people to elope, even if this incident does pull people out of the fire pit at first glance, Xiao Jingxian also promised not to marry a wife, but who knows if he will fulfill his promise in the future?

What's more, what if after he made a start, there would be a group of concubines?

A trace of blood appeared on Pei Bao'er's white paper-like face. She lowered her head, as if she had groaned for a moment, and then she finally raised her head, and her eyes were unprecedentedly bright.

"Sister Zhou, if I want to elope, can you help me?"

At this moment, Zhou Jiyue's mind appeared when Pei Zhaodi spoke before, thinking that she had really miscalculated people's hearts, and sure enough, only the Pei family could understand the Pei family. The girl who was also very utilitarian was like a prophecy, and she approved Pei Baoer's choice.

With a frown, she stared at this Pei concubine for a long time, and finally couldn't help but admonish for the last time: "Although I am not the daughter of a family like you, I also know that the hired person is a wife and a concubine, and you should understand, since a man like Xiao Jingxian, the king of Jin, since he didn't fall in love with you at first sight, even if you take the initiative to send it to the door, he will not change his original intention." ”

"It's better than me waiting here to marry any old man who can help the Pei family a little now and can easily kick away in the future." Pei Baoer smiled, and that smile looked incomprehensible.

"My mother is a slave of the Pei family, but she was not born to be a servant, but was abducted and sold into the Pei family. At that time, the Pei family experienced a small turmoil, because of a certain idiot, one of them was killed, and the servants were connected a lot, and they urgently needed to be employed. After my mother was bought, she still remembered where her home was before she was abducted and sold, and who her parents were, and she desperately met her father, who was already a high-ranking official at the time. After reading books and reading and reading well, she felt that her father, who was born in a family and was a high-ranking official, would send her home. ”

Pei Bao'er's smile faded a little, and her tone revealed a little coldness: "Hehe, when she was in the hands of traffickers, she deliberately often ate less or no food, and made herself so hungry that her face was yellow and thin, so she was picked by the Pei family who wanted to buy a few honest maids." And the father was indeed surprised to find out that he had bought a literate maidservant, so he left her to serve in the study, and after three months he told her that there had been a natural disaster and a plague in the house, and all the relatives had died. ”

"At that time, my mother was already slim because of her diet, and when she heard such bad news, she almost died...... After that, Sect Master Zhou, you should also guess that her father treated her very well, and she became my father's concubine. She was always very favored, and even after taking the house, she was able to enter and leave my father's study, until when I was three years old, she found another deed in my father's study by chance. ”

"It's not the deed of Ya Po selling people, it's the deed of selling people in her family. My father found her family, but they had already claimed that his daughter was dead, so how could he recognize his daughter who had been a handmaid in the family? And her father didn't find out that she was in the Pei family, so he signed a deed with her family again for one hundred taels of silver. You must know that the Feng family of the Daimyo Mansion also has seven or eight hundred acres of land, and the ancestors of the family had a small landlord who was a seven-rank official, but the abducted daughter was obviously found, but she didn't want to recognize it! ”

"My mother became seriously ill after she first learned the ins and outs of this incident. But she finally survived, but her body collapsed. When I was seven years old, she told me about her life and died not long after. Oh, my father already had a new favorite during that time, and if it weren't for my mother's sudden awakening after seeing the deed of sale, and trying to please and flatter my mother for three or four years, maybe I would have nothing to do. ”

"I am my father's fourth daughter, whether it is the eldest sister born to the right mother, or the second and third sisters of the concubine, it seems that she is married well at first, but my father is in the officialdom, and the most common thing he does is that his in-laws become enemies. When the father and their in-laws became enemies and beat people to the point that they couldn't turn over, how could they scare about their three daughters? ”

"Even my mother-in-law, the serious Mrs. Pei family, can only sigh, and after sighing, she still thinks about her son. From what happened to my mother, as well as what happened to my two sisters, I know that what family will not take you to heart at the critical moment! ”

Zhou Jiyue couldn't tell how much Pei Baoer's words were true and how many were false, but even if half of them were true, it was enough to drive a girl to despair and elope. It's just that she doesn't think Xiao Jingxian is worth entrusting for life after all.

That guy is a person who can't be guessed by common sense, what's more, how much sincerity does this person have from north to south?

Pei Bao'er saw that Zhou Jiyue was silent, so she said in an accentuated tone: "Sect Master Zhou, since you came to see me and said something like that, it shows that the King of Jin at least remembers me as a person, otherwise why did you come to warn me?" At least the King of Jin who can still pity me, and a family that marries a daughter only for temporary interests, and then turns its face ruthlessly, do I still need to choose? ”

"Besides, after I eloped, what else could they do to dig up my mother's grave?"

Pei Bao'er smiled, her chin was raised higher than before, "My mother said before her death that after death, she would like to break her bones and scatter ashes and be a lonely ghost, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Pei family and the Feng family of the Daimyo Mansion again." Therefore, I quietly dug up her ashes and sprinkled them after a sacrifice. As for what genealogy is removed from the name, verbal and written, I'm still afraid of this? ”

Zhou Jiyue finally found that she didn't have to say anything. She did not try to dissuade in vain, turned and walked towards the door.

"Now that you've figured it out, then you prepare, I'll take you to Pearl Bridge, and it's not too late for you to make a decision when you see him."

She stopped, and she didn't need to look to know what the expression of the person behind her might be: "Qianqiu originally wanted you to meet King Jin, and the two sides made it clear, but I don't want you to take a wrong step, a wrong step, but since you have made up your mind, then I have nothing to say." ”

Pei Bao'er only felt that the whole person survived in an instant, and immediately saluted: "Thank you Sister Zhou, I will never forget the kindness of your previous words!" I know that serving people in Israel can't last, but I've learned a lot over the years, no matter what, I can always do a good job of housework for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and I can always do it if I persuade him to do more to me. ”

Behind Zhou Jiyue is Yue Qianqiu, behind Yue Qianqiu is the prime minister of the current dynasty, and behind the prime minister of the current dynasty is obviously the Son of Heaven! As long as she can watch Xiao Jingxian for Emperor Wu, then no matter how bad the end is, it will not be worse than the Pei family marrying her to an old man casually! Even if you can't be a main room, it's already much better than the current situation!

Zhou Jiyue nodded quietly, and after going out, she saw Song Pujia blocking the door like a god in the same door, so she stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Has anyone been here?" ”

Song Pujia raised her eyebrows with a smile and said triumphantly: "We closed the courtyard door, and Miss Pei persuaded her two sisters again. I'm afraid they didn't expect us to be here! ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted the shoulder of this little junior sister of the Rejuvenation Concept. She didn't say that Pei Baoer was planning to elope, but said lightly: "She promised to go with us." ”

Song Pujia's eyes widened suddenly, and then she asked excitedly, "How to go?" Hit out? Or set another fire? ”

knocked directly on the door of the little girl's head, and Zhou Jiyue said angrily: "You go and call Brother Pei Zhao." ”

"Huh?" Others didn't know what was going on in the house, but Song Pujia knew that her eyes widened when she landed, but then she said with a smile on her face, "Is this going to be stiff for Li Daitao?" If you want her to change clothes with Pei Baoer, then it is better for me to come! In this way, Sister Zhou, you take her first, and I will be able to come out and join you in a while! ”

Zhou Jiyue suddenly cried and laughed: "You think too much!" You are so different from her in size, how can you pretend? Pei Zhaodi is too, how could she be willing to stay and apologize, not afraid that her uncle would turn his face and not recognize anyone? Besides, if this kind of thing really happens, the other two Miss Pei family will also be implicated! Instead of that, I might as well make an excuse and say that I would take someone to see the eldest princess! ”

Although this is a very clumsy method, anyway, Yue Qianqiu has long said that as long as you succeed in bringing people out, it doesn't matter if the method is simple and rude. If she has the ability, she can kill people all the way...... Anyway, it's not like I'm going to elope today, and I'm just going to take it out to meet Xiao Jing. The only thing that matters is how she met Pei Baoer before, and the rest is not important.

When Song Pujia listlessly agreed to call someone, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching behind her, and then she said without looking back: "Brother Pei Zhaodi already knows a little about you, of course, she doesn't know that it is the King of Jin." Because to see you, she must lead the way, although in this way, if she leaks out, I am afraid that there will be trouble, but she is too smart to do stupid things. And I'm going to take you away, and anyone can hide it, but she must know, because she has to stay and cover it for you. ”

Pei Bao'er felt a pang in her heart. But now that she has made up her mind, whether Pei Zhaodi, who has always been at odds with her, will make any trouble, she has no effort and no room to think about it, so she immediately responded with a good word. Soon, she saw Song Pujia happily bring Pei Zhaodi over.

Although the smile on Pei Zhaodi's face, who had never been at odds with her, was kind, she could still see that the other party was not happy.

Sure enough, when Pei Zhaodi stepped into the room and got along with her, she saw that her cousin, who had just looked quite respectful in front of Zhou Jiyue, instantly showed a gloomy expression, but a certain jealousy in her eyes was something she would never miss no matter what. However, in front of Zhou Jiyue, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

Although Pei Zhaodi did not find out the inside story from Song Pujia's mouth, he also thought of the words Li Dai Taozhuang at this time. She looked at her cousin, who had always disliked the most, and raised her chin slightly.

"If you follow Sect Master Zhou and leave directly, how can you marry the daughters of the Pei family, or the girls who are not married, in the future?" She took a deep breath and said word by word, "Since you want Li Dai Taozhuang, then do it to the end." It's better to declare to the public at that time that it was me who eloped with someone, anyway, I have such a father, and there is a maid around me who dares to assassinate the eldest princess, and my reputation has been completely ruined. In this way, at least I can save my uncle's reputation! ”

This is the only hope that she can continue to gain a foothold in the Pei family...... Put aside the father who committed the crime and live in the name of Pei Xu's concubine! Even if Pei Xu is not the prime minister, it is likely that it will be difficult to make a comeback in the future, but it is always better than her biological father's situation!

Zhou Jiyue never imagined that Pei Zhaodi would make such a move, seeing that Pei Baoer's face changed drastically, she was about to speak, but the next moment there was a huge commotion outside.

"Pei's mansion is heavy, how can Rong'er wait for Xiaoxiao to break in again and again, and he will be arrested by the old man...... Rats, you dare to sneak attack! ”

Hearing that someone seemed to have broken in the front yard and a fight, Zhou Jiyue suddenly forgot about the dispute between the two sisters, and was really a little caught off guard. Could it be that Yue Qianqiu couldn't even wait for this little time, and actually went into battle in person?

But before she could think of a countermeasure, there was another earth-shattering shout in the backyard: "It's water, it's water!" ”
