Pei Shuying didn't meet Yan Qing at all, and Pei Shiju was helpless.

He really couldn't understand why his daughter, who had been stubborn since he was a child and liked to him, this time?

However, unlike before, when others came, Pei Shuying didn't even say anything, and only let the maid stop her.

And this time, she at least stood up and spoke. In Pei's view, this seems to be a good sign. At least it proves that Yanqing is different from others. Since it has an effect, Pei Shiju has more or less seen some hope.

He told Yanqing to come to the mansion from time to time, even if he couldn't meet Pei Shuying, it was a good thing to be able to talk and persuade from the small building. But Yanqing knew that this time Pei Shuying spoke, but she was afraid that it was because she had no defense. If she comes over next time, will Pei Shuying still speak? Yan Qing was really unsure.

After returning home, Xiao Nian had already cooked the soup pool.

Zheng Yanqing soaked his whole body in the pool water. The water in the pool was very hot, but it also greatly soothed his irritable mood for a while. The busyness of the whole day made him really tired. Sitting in the soup pool, before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Until Xiao Nian's hurried knock on the door woke Yan Qing up from half a dream.

He dried himself, changed into his clothes, and walked out of the soup house.

"Young master, the meal is ready."

Zheng Yanqing shook his head, "I don't have an appetite...... Xiao Nian, you put away the food, I'm tired, go rest first. ”

Tired people, when tired to the extreme, tend to lose their appetite.

Xiao Nian saw Zheng Yanqing's haggard appearance, and she was also distressed. So he was busy making a bed for Zheng Yanqing, waiting for Zheng Yanqing to sleep, and then left. But as soon as Xiao Nian walked on the front foot, Zheng Yanqing opened his eyes. He was really tired and wanted to sleep. I don't know why, but after lying on the bed, the sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden.

It was past midnight, and I could vaguely hear the guards walking through the streets, ringing a watch.

Empty, lonely voice, in the night, even more inexplicably lonely.

Yan Qing couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply sat up all of a sudden, put on his clothes, and walked to the side of the fire pit.

The pond fire is not very vigorous, but the iron net on the fire pond shows a red color.

Yan Qing did not light the candle, but sat next to the fire pit, took out a few pieces of charcoal from the charcoal basin on the side, and threw them into the fire pit. Use an iron chisel to gently stir the fire. After adding charcoal, the pond fire becomes much redder.

What impact will Changsun Sheng's death have on Yanqing?

He had been so busy that he hadn't had time to think about it.

At this moment, he was idle, but he had to think about this problem. The death of Changsun Sheng also means that a backer behind Yan Qing collapsed. His words will change somewhat, at least not as smoothly as they do now.

However, he is still young, and no one should deliberately target him.

Yan Qing is not worried about this problem.

Although Changsun Sheng is gone, he still has some cards in his hand that can be used. Fang Yanqian's holy family is long, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to fall for a while; Pei Shiju will also help him at a critical time, just because he said that he had expressed Pei Shiju's mood. However, whether it is Fang Yanqian or Pei Shiju, it will not work as well as Changsun Sheng after all.

He is a disciple of Changsun Sheng, and he has a deep Imprint of Thunderbolt Hall.

So no matter what happened to Yanqing, Changsun Sheng could help him unconditionally.

And Fang Yanqian and Pei Shiju can't do this...... In this Luoyang city, there are countless predators.

Although Yanqing has some relationships, it is difficult to have a big effect. Li Ji is far away in Guzang, and that is indeed a person who will help him unconditionally, but it is too far away. Li Ji was not there, and Dou Wei and Dou Fengjie, who had been in contact with Zheng Yanqing, one was in Chang'an and the other went to Shuzhong, but they couldn't help him much. Although Dou Xian was in Luoyang, he hadn't met after all, and Zheng Yanqing didn't want to bother him...... As for the Zheng family, I am afraid that there is even less help that can be given to him now.

After such a calculation, Yan Qing found that there didn't seem to be many cards in his hand.

In the past, when Changsun Sheng was alive, he grabbed a lot of good cards in his hand. But right now, there aren't a lot of cards available.

So what's next for him?

Zheng Yanqing thought about it seriously, feeling that if he continued to stay in Luoyang, he would probably face danger.

God knows, when Yang Guang went crazy, would he want him to accompany him and go to Jiangdu?

Why don't you go to Chang'an?

As soon as Zheng Yanqing had this idea, it was immediately extinguished.

The situation in Chang'an may not be better than that in Luoyang...... The struggle between the nobles of Guanlong was also fierce. He went to Chang'an at this time, and if he didn't get it right, he would end up in pieces.

Therefore, Chang'an, Luoyang and Jiangdu, Zheng Yanqing doesn't really want to go.

In addition, he had to try to send Duoduo to Shuzhong, which made him feel very embarrassed. Without enough excuses, how did he get to Shuzhong?

Well, in fact, Shuzhong is a safe place to go.

Zheng Yanqing began to think about it, what excuse to use to escort Duoduo to Shuzhong?

simply write a letter to Dou Fengjie...... If Dou Fengjie invited, wouldn't he have an excuse?

Zheng Yanqing felt that this was the only way he could think of now. But Duoduo's matter is over, and there is still Pei Shuying's matter. He vaguely felt that Pei Shuying seemed to be aware of the strange emotions between the two of them.

It seems that mother and son are not mother and son, not lovers, but like lovers.

I guess she's just worried about this matter.

After all, there is a layer of ethics involved. Especially after Yan Qing killed Li Dewu, Pei Shuying was even more flustered.

She wants to become a monk, not to blame Yanqing for killing Li Dewu, nor for the gossip in the streets.

What's more, I'm afraid I don't know how to face Zheng Yanqing. After all, at Yanqing's age, she can be her son in this era. Pei Shuying didn't know how to deal with it, and she didn't know how to face it, so she ...... That's probably the reason!

Zheng Yanqing was also at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

He had the mind of a forty-year-old, but the body of an eleven-year-old.

He likes a mature woman like Pei Shuying, but it involves a very taboo topic.

Sitting on the edge of the fire pit, Zheng Yanqing's mind was empty. Suddenly, he stood up, walked over to the bookcase, lit the candle, then spread out a blank piece of paper, polished the ink, and lifted the pen, but it froze again. If you do this, there are only two possible results: first, Pei Shuying discourages the idea of becoming a monk; The second is Pei Shuying, who will never ignore him.

Yan Qing put the brush on the pen holder again.

His hands rubbed his face vigorously, trying to calm himself down in such a way.

Pick up the pen and put it down again; Put down the pen and lift it again...... This has been repeated many times, and before I know it, three watches have passed.

Let's just put it together.

Zheng Yanqing was ruthless, picked up the pen, and wrote a five-word quatrain on the paper.

I was not born, and I was old. You hate me for being late, and I hate you for being early.

I was not born, and I was old. At the same time, it is said that he is good with you.

After writing, Yan Qing took a deep breath, blew dry the ink, and then put the letter in an envelope, dripping fire paint, and stamping it.

Death has to be understood, hiding like this, whether it is for him or Pei Shuying, it is actually a kind of torture.

After dawn, Zheng Yanqing was going to Perak Hall.

He asked Shen Guang to deliver the letter to Pei's mansion, and then left in a hurry with Xiong Dahai.

It's another taboo.

However, the atmosphere seems to have changed a little bit compared to yesterday. The eldest grandson, Hengan, mother and son, actually knelt side by side with Mrs. Gao.

Although Mrs. Gao didn't say anything, the unhappiness on her face was already overflowing.

It can be seen that the eldest grandson Hengan is a little restless. The eldest grandson Shunde and the eldest grandson Xingye, one ignored it, and the other didn't dare to ask.

Zheng Yanqing had the heart to say a few words, but this was someone's family matter.

The eldest grandson Shunde didn't speak, Mrs. Gao didn't speak, and Zheng Yanqing didn't interject.

When I got home, it was already the end of the day.

Shen Guang handed a letter to Zheng Yanqing, saying that it was written by Pei Shuying.

After Yanqing took a bath, he finished eating, and opened Pei Shuying's reply book alone in the study.

It is also a five-word poem, with beautiful handwriting, but it is quite powerful.

I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born. I am close to you, and you are far away from me.

I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born. Butterflies go to find flowers, and perch on fragrant grass at night.

Yanqing, I already know your thoughts, and so do I. It's just that the distance between us is too far, so let's put out this thought and find our own lives.

Pei Shuying's answer made Zheng Yanqing sit in front of the bookcase and was speechless for a long time.

Is my aunt rejecting me?

Yan Qing couldn't sleep well all night...... The next day, before he went out, he wrote another letter.

I want to know you and live a long life.

The mountains have no tombs, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder and earthquakes, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are combined, and they dare to be with the king.

Auntie, no matter what you think, my heart remains the same.

Yan Qing used Han Yuefu's "Shang Evil" to express his feelings. It is only this poem that can be expressed.

As for what Pei Shuying would think, Zheng Yanqing no longer thinks about it.

In the past, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were not afraid of people's words and ethics in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was a society of great defense of etiquette and religion.

And what is he afraid of in these years?

Before going out, he asked Shen Guang again to send the letter to Pei's mansion.

Duoduo and Xiao Nian were quite curious about this, but they didn't dare to ask.

That night, Shen Guang returned.

Zheng Yanqing pulled him and asked, "What about my aunt's reply?" ”

Shen Guang shook his head, "The eldest lady didn't reply to the book." ”

"What did you say?"

"Nor did ...... I didn't see the big lady at all. Oh, her handmaid said a word to me. ”

"What?"

"The eldest lady asked you to go back."

"Huh?"

"I just didn't reply to the book, I didn't have a message, let me go...... Childe, what kind of fame are you doing again? Is there something you can't tell the big lady? The little girl looked at me today, as if she was a little out of touch. ”

Zheng Yanqing sighed and went back to the study.

What does it mean that Pei Shuying doesn't return the book?

Yan Qing thought about it all night, but couldn't come up with a clue.

So the next day, he asked Shen Guang to go to Pei's mansion to deliver a letter.

Married to Qu Tangjia, the dynasty missed the concubine period.

I knew that the tide had a letter, and I married the tide.

On this day, Pei Shuying still did not reply.

But let the maid pass on a sentence: I don't know what to say, don't write poems anymore.

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

I'm not afraid that I don't know what to say, I'm afraid that you don't have an explanation. As long as you have an explanation, I always have a way to let you know what it is.

Alone in the west building without a word, the moon is like a hook.

Lonely Wutong deep courtyard lock Qingqiu.

Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful.

Don't just have a general taste in mind.

Okay, if you don't let me write poems, then I'll fill in the lyrics. Zheng Yanqing packed the letter, handed it to Shen Guang, and sent it to Pei's mansion.

In the blink of an eye, five private jealousies.

The eldest grandson Heng'an's performance became more and more explicit, and he seemed to have the intention of controlling the power of Thunderbolt Hall.

Zheng Yanqing really couldn't look past it, and couldn't help but stand up and say a few words, but was bitter and mean for a while by the mother of the eldest grandson Hengan. The mother of the eldest grandson Hengan is the daughter of a large local family in Luoyang. Because of his background, he can't be a main room. When Changsun Sheng was alive, she didn't show anything. But as soon as the eldest grandson Sheng died, he immediately changed his face.

Although Mrs. Gao is from the royal family, she is a royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty, a declining nobleman.

But the mother of the eldest grandson Heng'an is different, there are thousands of acres of fertile land at home, countless servants, and herds of cattle and horses. It's just because of his background, so he can't get on the stage. However, he had the money in his hands, and he put the Perak Hall up and down properly. So much so that the eldest grandson Shunde is basically silent, while the eldest grandson Xingye is a nerd and can be ignored.

Although Yan Qing has eloquence talents, he can't compete with a shrew.

Leaving the Perak Hall in a huff, he was holding back a breath of anger in his heart.

He returned to the Zheng Mansion and just sat down, not waiting for a breath. I saw Pei Xingyan running in from outside in a hurry.

"Yanqing, big event, big event!"

Zheng Yanqing was in a bad mood, so he said coldly: "What, your father wants you to marry the lady of the Xie family?" ”

Pei Xingyan was so suffocated by this sentence that he almost vomited blood and died.

His fingers trembled, and he pointed at Zheng Yanqing and said, "You are talking nonsense......"

blocked Pei Xingyan's sentence, and Zheng Yanqing's heart suddenly felt much more comfortable.

Only then did he show a smiling expression, "Okay, what's the big deal?" It's not that you get married, but your sister's marriage? ”

"Hey, how do you know?"

Zheng Yanqing looked dazed: "What do I know?" ”

"My sister's marriage...... I'm here to tell you about it. Pei Xingyan exhaled hard and sat down, "Poyetou house slave, came to my house to ask for a kiss for his son." I saw what my father meant, and I was a little moved. ”

"Slow down, who is the house slave of the broken field?"

Pei Xingyan rolled his eyes, "Who else can there be besides Yu Wenhua?" ”

Yu Wenhua and at this time last year, he was severely punished by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty for trading with the Turks without authorization, and was demoted to a domestic slave and given to Yu Wenshu. However, soon, the identity of this slave was canceled, and Yu Wenhua and Chong were reused.

It's just that in Luoyang City, the name of Yuwen's slave has spread.

Pei Xing is a good person, and naturally looks down on Yu Wenhua. Therefore, in his mouth, he is often replaced by a house slave with a broken field.

"Yu Wenhua, courting for his son?"

"Well, it's that Yuwen Chengtoe...... My father is really, knowing that my sister likes you, and promised the slave that he would consider it.

Yanqing, I don't care!

I won't agree to let that Yuwen toe be my brother-in-law. You have to help me solve this matter, or I won't even have to do it. ”

Zheng Yanqing was stunned when he heard this.

It's really a wave of unsettled, and a wave of rises.

How did this matter get all together? The infighting in the eldest grandson's family has started, Duoduo is still in danger, and Pei Shuying has not been able to express her attitude so far. Now it's good that there is such a courtship incident...... One thing after another, which made Zheng Yanqing a little overwhelmed.

Pei Renji's ambiguous attitude made him a little annoyed.

When Changsun Sheng was alive before, not only did he not prevent him from contacting Pei Cuiyun, but he had the intention of facilitating it. As soon as this eldest grandson Sheng died, he changed his mind? Although he has not yet agreed, the meaning of this consideration is quite profound.

"And what did your sister say?"

"My sister didn't know about it yet, and I overheard it tonight and came to you right away."

"!"

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but burst out foul language.

It is really a good person who is bullied, and a thin horse is ridden. , a Yuwen toe, dare to pry my corner?

Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated, not to fight for steamed buns.

Zheng Yanqing's face was gloomy, "Okay, I know about this matter." Rest assured, I won't let that toe get away with it. ”

Pei Xingyan softened his face at this time, nodded and said, "I know that you are not a ruthless and unrighteous person. ”

He stayed in the Zheng Mansion for a while, then took his leave and left.

On the other hand, Qing was wandering around the study, and his mind was about to become a pot of porridge.

Things seem to be getting more and more troublesome, these days, the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, if Pei Renji nods, there is no room for return. The marriage of the children of a large family is often involuntary. If you're lucky, you'll be able to find a soulmate. But if you're unlucky, you'll be unlucky for the rest of your life...... Yuwen became a toe, Zheng Yanqing has seen it.

Although he is also a talent, he can tell at a glance that he is a guy who has been hollowed out by wine.

Compared with his brother Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Chengtoe can basically be regarded as not in the stream. Letting Pei Cuiyun marry him is a pity for her talent. However, when Changsun Sheng left, Po Yetou began to be dishonest. Although Yu Wenshu is quite kind to Yanqing, Zheng Yanqing has no good impression of Poyetou's family. Especially after the death of the husky, Po Yetou unexpectedly took over the industry of Dading Restaurant, which made Yanqing feel that the death of the husky may be related to Po Yetou's family.

These people are not good birds...... But how can this be stopped?

Yan Qing suddenly found that he hadn't slept soundly for several days.

If it goes on like this, I'm afraid I'll have a nervous breakdown. So after dinner, Zheng Yanqing didn't say a word, and went into the bedroom. Get a good night's sleep first, recuperate your spirits, and then think about solutions. The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to fill the soil, I am not afraid!

However, maybe God didn't want him to sleep well.

I finally fell asleep, and suddenly I was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

Zheng Yanqing was suddenly furious, and couldn't help but turn over and sit up. Still don't let people live? He asked angrily, "Who?" It's so late, what's the matter? ”

"Young master, it's me!"

Xiao Nian replied outside the room: "Just now, Perak Hall sent someone to deliver a letter, saying that the eldest grandson suddenly fell ill and was worried about her surname. ”

Zheng Yanqing was stunned...... This is really a night of right and wrong, little innocent, what kind of illness did you have?

(To be continued)
