Chapter 255: Pei Mansion's Family Banquet
At this time, Ah Yuanxing bowed and slowly retreated, and Mrs. Cui looked at her back and frowned, "Why is she still here?" I remember that she was the maid of the Luo family! ”
"Mother, I like her very much, let her stay with me for the time being!"
Mrs. Cui didn't take this kind of trivial matter to heart, she smiled and asked, "Qing'er, have you been hanging out with friends recently?" ”
"In the past, Yun Mei used to go out for a walk with her when she was there, but not this year."
"If you have time, you have to go out for a walk, it's early spring now, you can also go out of the city to go on a walk, and let Cousin Wenxiang accompany you, what do you think?"
Pei Qing didn't say anything for a long time, it turned out that her mother was chatting with her, or for that matter, she had already said it a few times, why didn't her mother give up?
Pei Qing bit her lip lightly and said, "My daughter is not in good health these days, and I don't want to go out for the time being, let's talk about it later!" ”
Mrs. Cui was so shrewd, she immediately understood her daughter's thoughts, and said with a smile: "What a stupid child, your cousin is tall and handsome, knowledgeable, gentle and elegant, and more importantly, he has a deep affection for you, where can I find such a husband?" If other families want to climb it, they can't climb it, and my mother is afraid that you will be young and confused and miss this good marriage. ”
"The mother's kind daughter understands, but the daughter really doesn't like her cousin, not that kind of like, in the daughter's heart, he is just a brother, how can he talk about marriage with his brother?"
Mrs. Cui is a little unhappy, it stands to reason that as a mother, she doesn't have to think too much about her daughter's thoughts, as long as there is the order of her parents, the matchmaker's words, her daughter has to marry if she doesn't marry, but her husband doesn't like her nephew Cui Wenxiang, saying that he is too hypocritical and not kind enough, so he has always refused to agree to this marriage, and would rather marry his daughter to other Cui children.
But the problem is. Qing'er can only marry the heir of the Cui family, except for Cui Wenxiang, other Cui family children do not have this qualification. So it made Cui's very distressed, and his brother entrusted himself again and again. She couldn't convince her husband, she could only hope that her daughter would agree, and her husband would be easy to say, but her daughter also refused, which really annoyed Cui's. conAd1();
"Qing'er, don't you even want to listen to your mother's words?"
Lu Qing hurriedly got up and saluted his mother, "Mother's words, how dare my daughter not listen." It's just that marriage is not trivial, so let her daughter choose a husband she likes! ”
"Who do you like, you tell your mother first!"
Cui's heart began to have suspicions, her daughter so resolutely rejected Wen Xiang's marriage proposal, did she have someone in her heart?
Lu Qing's heart jumped, her mother actually began to doubt herself, of course she couldn't admit that she liked Zhang Xuan, and more importantly, Zhang Xuan saved herself at the beginning, only her father and grandfather knew, not even her mother. She must not divulge this secret.
Lu Qing hesitated and said: "Actually, my daughter doesn't like anyone, my daughter prefers Lang Jun, who is an all-round man in civil and military affairs. Wu Neng is stable and stable, it is best to be a hero in the world, these conditions are not met by cousins, although he has read a lot, at most he is only the order of the county monarch and governor, but he does not have the talent of the prime minister, and he is still a little worse than his daughter's conditions. ”
Cui Shi was stunned when he heard this, his daughter's vision had become so high, why had he never found out? Cui's half a day only smiled bitterly: "Qing'er." Or be realistic, have you forgotten the marriage agreement between the two Lu Cui families? ”
Of course my daughter knows. But the agreement only said that Lu Cui's two sons-in-law and daughter-in-law married each other, and the Lu family did not just have a daughter. Sister Yun is also a daughter-in-law, Feng'er is also a daughter-in-law, and there are daughters from Beiping Hall and Yanshan Hall, they can all marry the Cui family, why do they have to target their daughters? ”
"Who made your father the head of the Lu family!"
Cui Shi finally lost her patience, she stood up solemnly, "When Wenxiang finishes the imperial examination, you will accompany him to go to Qingqing, if you don't go, you have to go, this matter is decided." ”
Cui Shi didn't listen to his daughter's objection, flicked his sleeves, and rushed away angrily, Lu Qing called his mother again and again, but Cui Shi ignored her, and walked downstairs quickly, Lu Qing looked at her mother and walked away, she also made up her mind that she would never succumb to her mother's pressure and go to accompany that Cui Wenxiang.
Although she is weak in appearance, she is unusually strong in matters of principle and will not budge. conAd2();
.......
Pei Yun's mansion is located in Zhengpingfang, Luoyang, which is a huge mansion covering an area of nearly 100 acres, which is also the mansion given to Pei Yun by Yang Guang, which is the largest of all the mansions, which also shows that Yang Guang attaches great importance to Pei Yun.
In the morning, Zhang Xuan came to Pei Yun's mansion accompanied by Cui Xin, Zhang Xuan has always had a good impression of Pei Yun, Pei Yun did not succumb to the pressure of Yu Wenshu in the Tiansi Pavilion case, and presided over justice for himself.
Later, Laihu'er was imprisoned, and Pei Yun investigated the case, which finally enabled Laihu'er to get out of the case and return to his hometown to retire, of course, the main thing was that Yang Guang, the son of heaven, let Laihu'er go, but if it was Yuwenshu to investigate the case, even if Yang Guang wanted to release Laihu'er, Laihu'er might not be able to get out of prison alive, either commit suicide in fear of crime, or unfortunately die, Pei Yun finally saved Laihu'er's life.
However, Zhang Xuan didn't understand a little, even if he went to the banquet, he should go to Pei Yun's mansion, what to do in Pei Yun's mansion, he and Pei Yun had nothing to do with him.
"General Zhang doesn't have to worry, the main thing is that my second grandfather also wants to get to know General Zhang, originally wanted to have a treat in our mansion, but it was a little inconvenient, so I transferred to the second grandfather's mansion, in fact, it is all the same."
"Is Ling Zu here at noon today?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"It's unfortunate that my grandfather had something to do in the court at noon, and I couldn't catch up for a while, so I could only be accompanied by my second grandfather."
After a while, the two came to the gate of Pei's mansion, only to see a young man waiting in front of the gate, it was Pei Yun's grandson Pei Jin, who was also the eldest grandson of the Pei family, less than thirty years old, medium in stature, delicate in appearance, very gentle and elegant, and currently served as the official servant of the temple.
"Brother, this is General Zhang!" Pei Xin introduced him.
Pei Jin hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Under Pei Jin, I have long admired the name of the general." ”
Zhang Xuan hurriedly turned over and dismounted and saluted, "It turned out to be the son of Jin, Zhang Xuan is polite." conAd3(); ”
"General Zhang, please!"
Zhang Xuan walked into Pei's Mansion surrounded by Pei Jin and Pei Xin, perhaps because Pei's Mansion was too big, and he didn't see many people along the way, but he only happened to see some maids passing by and saluting them.
But walking to the gate of the back house, Zhang Xuan hesitated and stopped, as an outsider, or as an outside man, he should not enter someone else's back house, this is the least politeness.
Pei Jin saw Zhang Xuan's hesitation, so he smiled and said: "As long as the master invites you, it doesn't hurt to enter the back house, today's luncheon will be held in the back house garden, how can General Zhang not enter." ”
"In that case, Jang Hyun is rude."
Zhang Xuan was relieved, and followed the Pei brothers to the back garden.
There is a ten-acre lake in the back garden of Pei's mansion, surrounded by lush trees, and several rockeries are built with exquisite pavilions, it is still early for lunch at this time, Pei Jin smiled: "My grandfather is resting on a pavilion in front, if General Zhang is interested, he might as well go and sit!" ”
This is Pei Yun inviting himself euphemistically, Zhang Xuan smiled happily: "I'm afraid of disturbing Ling Zu's rest!" ”
That being said, Jang Hyun walked unhurriedly towards the pavilion ahead.
In an octagonal pavilion surrounded by windows, Pei Yun was wearing a fine linen Zen robe, wearing a flat scarf, and was sitting leisurely in front of the brazier reading a book.
Zhang Xuan walked to the door, bowed down and said, "Doctor Pei, junior Zhang Xuan asks to see!" ”
"General Zhang, please come in!"
Zhang Xuan walked into the pavilion and bowed, "Participate in Dr. Pei!" ”
"General Zhang, we're meeting again."
Pei Yun smiled and waved his hand, "Please sit down!" ”
Zhang Xuan sat down on the soft seat and said apologetically: "The doctor is rarely off, Zhang Xuan took the liberty to come to the door and disturbed him." ”
"I invited the general to the door, it should be me who took the liberty, by the way, I want to congratulate the general on his promotion to a higher position, the general was appointed as a tiger general at a young age, which only the royal family can do."
"This is the love of the saint, Zhang Xuan is ashamed!"
"You are very modest, this is very good, the most rare thing for young people is modesty, you can see that the general is a young man, I don't know who else is in the general's family?"
Zhang Xuan's heart jumped, why did he ask his family again, he was the most reluctant to answer this question, but how many times he had answered this question, he had already memorized his family history.
"The younger generation's parents died early and lived with their uncle, but the bandits rebelled, their hometown has been burned to the ground, the whereabouts of their uncle and aunt are unknown, and Zhang Xuan actually has no relatives."
Pei Yun nodded and sighed: "This is very unfortunate, alas! The robbers and thieves have ruined their lives, and how many people have been ruined like the general, but life has to go on, and the general has reached the time to talk about marriage, I wonder if the general has already made a marriage? ”
After speaking, Pei Yun stared at Zhang Xuan with blazing eyes. (To be continued)
