Chapter 167: Pushing the Boat with the Current

Pei Xingjian frowned deeply, glared at the Kudi clan angrily for a long time, and sighed leisurely, "Madam, please get up." ”

"Xie Fujun......" Kudi stood up, his eyes were already red, tears were flowing, but he didn't even choke, and his expression was very stubborn.

"Now that the ugliness of the family has been publicized, the old man doesn't have to have any scruples in front of Xue Gongzi." Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly and said, "As the clumsy Jing said, the old man is about to die, but the three sons are still very young. Originally, the old man also had a few powerful relatives of the same clan who could take care of the orphan on his behalf, but the old man and Pei Yan had always been at odds, and those relatives of the same clan were afraid of Pei Yan's prestige and had already broken off contact with the old man. Over the years, the old man has been closed to customers, and he has no close friends. Therefore, once the old man whined and mourned, the young son in the family was left with no one to take care of him. ”

It's all said and done, where can Xue Shao not understand? - Pei Xingjian and his wife, they want me, a passing student, to take care of his sons in the future!

"Husband, you should trust Xue Gongzi and teach him all his life's talents!" Kudi struck while the iron was hot and persuaded him, "In the future, the slaves and children will have a shelter to rely on!" ”

Xue Shao bowed his hand to the two of them in turn, "Thanks to Mrs. Xue's respect, no matter whether Pei Gong trusts Xue or not, Xue will definitely take care of the three sons of the virtuous couple in the future and treat them as blood brothers!" ”

"Hey......" Pei Xingjian let out a long sigh, as if he was smiling bitterly, as if he was laughing at himself, and said leisurely: "Actually, in a woman's opinion, sometimes ...... It makes sense! ”

As soon as the Kudi clan heard this, they hurriedly ran outside the hall and brought their three sons who were playing with mud, the eldest was seven years old and the youngest was only three years old.

This kind of etiquette seems to be a bit messed up, and Xue Shao's refusal is not acceptable.

Pei Xingjian seemed to be a little helpless about his wife's actions, and said with a wry smile: "The dog is young, and he is indeed the younger generation of Xue Gongzi." Xue Gongzi ...... Take it! ”

Xue Shao couldn't laugh or cry a little, "Then aren't Pei Gong and I equals?" ”

"That'...... Equals are equals! Pei Xingjian was also helpless to cry and laugh, who called his sons so young?

It didn't matter who was the seniority, she was happy. Maybe in her opinion, Xue Shao should be a person of the same generation, and if Xue Shao treats her as an "aunt", she will really be very depressed.

"If you've had enough, then step aside!" Pei Xingjian waved his hand, anxious to catch up with the Kudi clan.

"How can my husband say that I am making trouble? I've clearly accomplished a big thing! Kudi took the three children, his tears were not dry but he smiled, and said: "Thinking that the slave family has relied on the future of the second half of their lives and the children, the slave family doesn't know how happy Lu Dao is!" The slave family has been with her husband for almost ten years, and today is the happiest day! ”

"You woman, what nonsense." Pei Xingjian patted his forehead and was a little speechless, you can just keep this kind of thing in your heart, why do you want to say it in front of Xue Gongzi?

Xue Shao also laughed, and was a little speechless at the "non-mainstream" Hu woman Kudi in front of her, she was really not an ordinary "straightforward and fast-talking". But one thing to admit, this may be her strength. If she is a shy, graceful and cautious lady, she will definitely not be able to do such a major thing as "Tuogu" so quickly and smoothly!

Therefore, it will be quite difficult for Xue Shao to break the layer of scruples and doubts in Pei Xingjian's heart. In other words, the seemingly absurd and rude behavior of the Kudi clan today not only helped himself but also helped Xue Shao!

"The slave family is rude, and this will be dismissed!" Kudi took his three children to bow and retreat together, and when they left, they were full of spring breeze and joy.

"Oops!" Pei Xingjian stretched out his hand and slapped his face a few times, "Old man's face, it's gone, it's all gone!" ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Pei Gong doesn't have to be like this. In fact, in my opinion, Mrs. Zun's behavior is bold and insightful, and she is a heroine among women. With a mother like this, the three sons of Pei Gong may be able to make achievements in the future! ”

"Even you think so?" Pei Xingjian shook his head with a wry smile, "No wonder she was called into the palace by the queen of heaven for three days and two times to gossip and talk, it is really like to gather people and divide people into groups!" ”

Xue Shao's heart moved slightly, and said: "I heard Princess Taiping say that Mrs. Zun and the Queen of Heaven really seem to have some personal relationships. The queen of heaven seems to have mentioned that she wants Mrs. Zun to go to the palace to be a female official. I don't know if this matter has become a success? ”

"Oh?" Pei Xingjian frowned in surprise, "She never mentioned it to me?" ”

Xue Shao smiled and said, "Perhaps, Mrs. Zun is afraid that Pei Gong will be embarrassed, so she has already refused, right?" ”

Pei Xingjian nodded thoughtfully, "Over the years, the Queen of Heaven has issued several orders to summon capable women from all over the world to enter the palace as officials and serve the Queen of Heaven left and right. Many ministers' wives and mothers and harem women responded to the call and became female officials by the side of the queen of heaven. Although Humble Jing is a Hu woman, she is indeed proficient in literature and history, and she also learned calligraphy from the old man. As for the character...... You've seen it, too. I have to say that she and the queen of heaven may really have something in common, if it weren't for the old husband's affection, she would have entered the palace as a female official! ”

Xue Shao thought for a while and said, "In that case, why didn't Gong Pei simply fulfill Mrs. Zun?" ”

"This ......" Pei Xingjian stroked his beard and frowned for a moment, "It seems that something is wrong, right?" ”

"In my opinion, not only is it good, but it is also very beneficial." Xue Shao said.

"Would you like to hear the son's high opinion?" Pei Xingjian said with interest, and bowed to Xue Shao.

"Don't dare to be." Xue Shao returned the salute and said, "Since it is a matter of heart, then Xue has something to say." With Pei Gong's talents and merits, he should have been worshiped as the prime minister in charge of the center. Even my brother once said that only Pei Gong could be on an equal footing with Liu Renliang and fill the vacant Shangshu's right servant. But...... Because of the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang and others, Pei Gong was unable to enter the cabinet for a long time. In the final analysis, isn't it because the two saints can't get Pei Gong's pulse and can't understand Pei Gong's heart? ”

Pei Xingjian took a deep breath, "Xue Gongzi is very good, only you dare to say such words!" ”

"What's the matter!" Xue Shao smiled calmly and said, "Even if Xue can't trust the people of the world one day, he will definitely be able to trust Pei Gong." So say whatever you want, and don't have any scruples at all! ”

"Why does Childe trust the old man so much?" Pei Xingjian asked.

Xue Shao said: "Pei Gong dares to entrust me with an incense stick and three sons, what reason does Xue have not to put Pei Gong in mind?" ”

"The son is righteous, the old man thanked him first!" Pei Xingjian bowed to Xue Shao again.

Xue Shao returned the salute and said with a smile: "Pei Gong, although your son treats me as an uncle, in my heart you are still an elder of the sect, don't bow to me anymore, otherwise you will be tormented by me." ”

Pei Xingjian stroked his hair and smiled, "Okay, since you and I are both martial artists, all vulgar etiquette can be exempted - to get back to the point, Gongzi thinks that Humble Jing has all kinds of benefits to serve the Queen of Heaven as a female official, but has Gongzi ever thought that once Humble Jing becomes the Queen's close attendant, how will the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty treat the old man?" ”

"I understand Pei Gong's concerns. Pei Gong was worried that once Mrs. Zun became the close maid of the Queen of Heaven, the courtiers would think that Pei Gong flattered the Queen of Heaven and had a bad temperament and morality. Xue Shao asked, "But please ask Pei Gong to make a clear decision, is it the second sage's opinion of Pei Gong that is important, or the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military views are important?" ”

Pei Xingjian thought for a while and said: "The former is about career luck, the latter is about integrity and morality, both of which are related to life and death, honor and disgrace, both are very important. ”

Confucianism is like this, it is easy to suffer from gains and losses and be burdened by "fame"!

Xue Shao sighed secretly in his heart and said: "Actually, Duke Pei should think like this, if Mrs. Zun is a female official, she is serving the imperial court, not a domestic slave of the Queen of Heaven, and only serving the Queen of Heaven alone." Even if she is not a female official now, the queen of heaven often summons her to the palace to talk. Dare to ask, whenever the queen of heaven wants to summon Mrs. Zun into the palace, has Pei Gong stopped it? ”

"How dare the old man?" Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly.

"Huh!" Xue Shao smiled and said, "Mrs. Zun, a second-grade foreign woman, has no ministry but often enters the palace, whether Gong Pei wants it or not, in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Zun has become friends with the Queen of Heaven." Instead of this, it is better to let Mrs. Zun go to the palace to be a female official. In that way, she can still have a business name in and out of the ban, it is better than going to have a personal relationship with the queen of heaven like this. ”

"In fact, seeing that Humble Jing is often summoned into the forbidden by the Queen of Heaven, how can the old man not know what the Queen of Heaven has intentions? However, the old man couldn't stop it. Pei Xingjian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Conspiracy and conspiracy, this is the usual style of the queen." The two-pronged approach is simply overwhelming! ”

"If you go well, you win, and if you go against it, you will hurt both. It's better to let Mrs. Zun enter the palace and go to the palace to be a female official! Xue Shao said, "As for the courtiers' civil and military comments, you don't have to worry too much about it. The tree has always been quiet and the wind does not stop, and bones can be picked out of the eggs. What did Pei Gong get after so many years of closing his door? ”

"......" Pei Xingjian stroked his hair and groaned, and after a long time, he nodded, "Okay, the old man will listen to the son's persuasion!" But if the queen of heaven is called, let Humble Jing enter the palace and go to the palace to give it a try! ”

"Husband is wise, please accept the slave's worship!" Across the door, Kudi said in a loud voice outside the hall.

"You slut, how can you hide outside the hall and eavesdrop?" Pei Xingjian was very annoyed and rushed out of the door when he opened the door, and the Kudi clan was really worshipping outside the hall.

Xue Shao laughed, if she hadn't eavesdropped outside the hall, I might not have said these words!

It is really more advantageous than a close friend to let the Kudi clan enter the palace and become Wu Zetian's confidant, female official or close friend. The subtlety of this, presumably Pei Xingjian can weigh it himself, and even has this intention, otherwise with his character, he will definitely not listen to my Xue Shao's persuasion and agree with his mouth.

In the final analysis, I just played a little role in the middle and pushed the boat smoothly, and gave Pei Xingjian a logical step to go down!.
