readx; When Pei Kuan was alive, he was like a button, closely linking the Pei clan in Chang'an, everyone usually basically stayed in Pei Kuan's house, and did not return to their homes until the evening, and after Pei Kuan died, the button that linked the family was gone, and the Pei family in Chang'an gradually became loose, and the contacts decreased, Pei Zunqing also moved back to his old house in Chongrenfang, and began to be busy with government affairs. Unfair land distribution, etc., common contradictions among ordinary people have appeared in the Pei family, but these are small contradictions, and more serious is that there is a bad situation such as Pei Zunqing and Pei Min turning their faces, which was unbelievable in the past.

Especially when Pei Zunqing was assassinated, there were voices within the Pei family that blamed Pei Min, and the clansmen who supported Pei Min severely reprimanded this voice, so that the factions were confrontational, and there were signs of division within the Pei family.

At this time, six days have passed since Pei Zunqing was assassinated, and the imperial court finally gave an explanation, and issued a letter to the world with the will of the imperial court's political affairs hall, pointing out that Pei Zunqing was killed by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and severely accusing the Southern Tang Dynasty of assassinating Pei Zunqing's despicable behavior.

With the conclusion of the imperial court, the ministers who came to Pei's house to mourn began to flow in an endless stream in the afternoon, Pei Zunqing's house is located in Chongrenfang, at this time the house has been set up in front of the funeral shed, Pei Zunqing's family is dressed in linen and filial piety, and kneeling with tears to greet the ministers who came to mourn filial piety, Pei Zunqing's wife Qu and several sons are kneeling in the mourning shed, the ministers enter one by one, incense offerings, appease the family, and then leave.

At this time, a team of hundreds of cavalry escorted Li Qing'an's carriage appeared in Chongrenfang, in the carriage, Li Qing'an was comforting Pei Wan'er, with Li Qing'an going home, Pei Wan'er's helplessness, sadness and pain, all slowly calmed down, at this time for her, Li Qing'an is all she relies on, although her grandfather's death makes her sad, but Li Qing'an's comfort can soothe the pain in her heart, so that she can love the fetus in her womb wholeheartedly.

"Wan'er, people can't be resurrected after death, what we have to do is to let the dead rest in peace, let the living be comforted, I have gone to the letter and political affairs hall, I hope to posthumously crown Pei Xiangguo's Taishi Jue, and seal a hundred households, so that his wife can enjoy his old age in peace, you don't want to be sad, pay attention to your body, your sadness will make the child cry, he will feel your mood, you know?"

Pei Wan'er leaned her head on Li Qing'an's shoulder, at this moment she felt a great reliance in her heart, she nodded silently, Li Qing'an held her hand and said: "Also, when you see your parents and elders later, you have to comfort them, this is what you have to do, you can't hug them and cry, that will only increase their sadness, not heal the wounds, remember?" You are now my wife, not the granddaughter of the Pei family. ”

"I remember, I'll do it well!"

．．．．．．．

The carriage slowly stopped next to Pei's mansion, at this time it was the time of the next dynasty, and there was an endless stream of officials who came to mourn Pei Zunqing, and there were more than 100 officials waiting outside the spirit shed alone, Li Qing'an's sudden appearance immediately caused a sensation, no one knew that Li Qing'an was back, and many officials stepped forward to salute, "See His Royal Highness King Zhao!" ”

Li Qing'an stepped out of the carriage and saluted everyone one by one, at this time, Pei Zunqing's two sons, Pei Yang and Pei Xiang, walked up quickly, knelt down and cried: "My father was brutally murdered by Li Heng, begging His Highness to avenge my father!" ”

Li Qing'an hurriedly helped their brother up, and said sadly: "This is not the suffering of the Pei family, but the shame of the entire imperial court, not only Pei Xiangguo, but also the first emperor, I remember this blood debt, one day, I will ask him for it back with interest." ”

Li Qing'an's words were reasonable, and there was a kind of domineering spirit of a king, even if he took this opportunity to express his attitude on this matter to everyone, it immediately aroused a cheer from the officials present, and some people remembered these words and were ready to take them out to publicize, the Pei brothers were even more excited, thanked them repeatedly, and invited Li Qingan to sit in the distinguished guest rest shed.

At this time, Pei Wan'er also got out of the car, Pei Zunqing's wife Qu's, as well as her mother, several aunts, and aunts took her into the mourning shed, although Wan'er promised Li Qing'an not to cry, but several women got together, talking about sad things, tears were infected, Wan'er couldn't help crying, but a few women persuaded her to mourn and change, people can't be resurrected after death, she has to keep the fetus in her womb, Pei Xiang's wife Luo Shi heard that she was pregnant, and hurriedly said: "How can Wan'er enter the mourning shed when she is pregnant, go out quickly!"

Everyone woke up and hurriedly invited her out and went into the house to rest.

A group of women hugged Pei Wan'er into the house like the stars holding the moon, at this time Pei Wan'er's status was the same as the provincial concubine in "Dream of Red Mansions", which became the expectation of Pei Zunqing's family, Pei Zunqing died, his wife, son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law all lost their backers, everyone was crying Pei Zunqing at the same time, they were more worried about their future and fate, as soon as Pei Zunqing died, the Pei family became Pei Min again, will Pei Min treat them without remembering the old hatred? Pei Yang and Pei Xiang are worried about their careers, the women are worried about firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the grandchildren are worried about whether there is a chance to enter the office, so that they cry Pei Zunqing less and cry a little more for themselves, but fortunately, Pei Wan'er married Li Qing'an, which brought the greatest hope to Pei Zunqing's house, as if it was a life-saving straw for them.

Everyone forced Pei Wan'er to sit in the chief, Pei Wan'er saw that Pei Yu, Pei Juan'er and other sisters were sitting far away, and she was surrounded by grandmothers, mothers, aunts and other elders, she was embarrassed and said: "Wan'er is just a grandchild, how can she sit in the first place and kill Wan'er." ”

Pei Xiang's wife, Luo Shiji, was very good at talking, and without waiting for Pei Wan'er's mother to speak, she smiled and said: "No one will let you sit here before you get married, but now you are the Li family, representing the status of your husband's family, although you are only a good lady now, when your husband ascends the throne, you will be a concubine." ”

"Erniang, don't talk nonsense!"

Grandmother Mrs. Qu interrupted Mrs. Luo's quick speech in time, Mrs. Luo woke up, how can she say that Li Qing'an has ascended the throne now, even if everyone knows it, she can't say it, she hurriedly slapped herself in the mouth, and scolded herself: "A person who is dozens of years old, he hasn't spoken lightly or heavily, he should be beaten!" ”

"Second aunt, don't be like this, everyone is their own person, and they won't go out and talk nonsense."

On the side, Pei Wan'er's mother smiled: "Actually, everyone cares about the child in your womb, but haven't you asked the midwife to see it, is it a man or a woman?" ”

"This ..... It's only been three months, where can you see it? ”

"That's not necessarily, you take two steps, I'll take a look!"

It was grandmother Qu who spoke, Qu is Pei Zunqing's stepwife, she is more than 20 years younger than Pei Zunqing, and she is only in her forties, only two years older than Pei Wan'er's mother Liu, because she has not given birth, she still looks young, she doesn't look like her grandmother, she said that she can see the fetus's surname, everyone laughed, she hasn't even given birth to a child, what can you see the surname.

At the beginning, Qu still had a little bit of sadness about the death of her husband, but gradually when it came to the child, the death of her husband became more and more faint in her heart, originally, Pei Zunqing had been dead for six or seven days, and she should have cried, and Pei Zunqing was also in her seventies, and she was just a husband and wife in etiquette, the two of them had slept in separate rooms for seven or eight years, and Qu's grief was mostly pretending, and now that everyone was talking, she forgot that she still wore filial piety on her body, so she smiled and said: "Don't underestimate me, my father turned out to be the imperial doctor, I've told me some common sense, I know this, women are sour and men are spicy! Wan'er, take two steps and show me. ”

Everyone saw that she obviously didn't know how to pretend to understand, how could she be able to see men and women by walking in the third trimester of pregnancy, but everyone didn't want to spoil her, so they coaxed together: "That's it, Wan'er, take two steps and take a look." ”

At this time, they all forgot Pei Wan'er's identity, only thinking that she was the granddaughter of the Pei family, Pei Wan'er was helpless, and walked a few steps in front of the elders embarrassedly, and saw that everyone was staring at her, her face couldn't help but turn red with shame, what was she looking at?

"It's Childe! I'm right, it must be a man, oops! Wan'er is destined to be rich! ”

．．．．．．．．

At this time, a maid came to report, and several ministers' wives came to condole, Mrs. Qu and others hurriedly went out to receive them, but Pei Wan'er gave her mother a look, and Mrs. Liu said that she wanted to accompany her daughter and stayed.

Mrs. Liu is the daughter of Liu Jing in the former military department, her surname is timid and cautious, and her maiden official is not obvious, her status in the Pei family is not high, but she is virtuous and courteous, and the family also likes her, married to Pei Yang for more than 20 years, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, two sons, one is a guard in the palace, the other is studying in Taixue, and the daughter is Pei Wan'er, Mrs. Liu has placed infinite expectations on her daughter.

The mother and daughter found a quiet side room, and Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter's face was a little wrong, so she asked, "Is it because she is not feeling well?" Lie down and rest first. ”

Pei Wan'er shook her head, she bit her lip lightly and said, "Mother, what if I give birth to a daughter?" ”

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Giving birth to a boy and a girl is given by God, what should I do, my mother is concerned about you having a smooth birth, your physique is weak, and it will be a little difficult to give birth to a child, and my mother is worried about this." ”

"But..... I feel that the Pei family is staring at me up and down, asking me to give birth to a boy, I am under a lot of pressure! Mother, my life in the palace is not very smooth, I would rather give birth to a daughter. ”

Mrs. Liu was taken aback, her daughter had been married for a few months, and she had never said anything bad, and the so-called unhappiness was just a euphemism, that is, she was not doing well.

"Yes..... Is Uncle bad for you? ”

"No, he is very good to me, he loves me very much, I am very satisfied with my husband, but ......."

Mrs. Liu is from the past, and she understood as soon as she thought about it, "You mean that the princess is not good to you?" ”

Wan'er sighed lightly and said: "Actually, I can't blame her, she was very good to me, she was very careful everywhere, and even the four maids were allowed to arrange it by myself, she is a very tolerant eldest sister, but she blames my grandfather for being obsessed, after learning from the imperial doctor that I was pregnant, I actually impeached Dugu Haoran, that is, Mingyue's father, and impeached him for fornicating with the Southern Tang Dynasty, isn't this a clear intention to depose Mingyue's princess?" wants me to replace Mingyue as Princess Zhao, directly threatening the status of others, since then, the princess has been wary of me, I can feel, for example, everyone is talking and laughing, as soon as I go, everyone is silent, even the picturesque disgusted me, especially the princess does not allow me to contact Tan'er, once, I gave Tan'er a piece of cake, Tan'er told her mother, and as a result, the princess dismissed the maid who brought him to my yard to play, hey! My grandfather did this kind of thing and didn't think about it for me, and to be honest, I really hated him. ”

Mrs. Liu was speechless for a long time, this kind of thing also happened to her, just because her maiden status is not high, several of Pei Yang's wives and concubines want to replace her, she has been framed several times in the past ten years, if she hadn't given birth to two sons, I'm afraid her status is really not guaranteed.

Mrs. Liu understood the cruelty of this kind of inner house struggle, and seeing that her daughter was also involved, she couldn't help but pinch in her heart, and said, "I only ask you, do you have this heart?" ”

Wan'er shook her head resolutely, "I never had this heart, I just want to teach my husband and children, live a peaceful life, and never want to take Mingyue's position, that is grandfather's wishful thinking, besides, the Anxi army has identified this princess and the little prince, can I win her?" ”

"Since you don't have this heart yourself, then let's not fight, let's just take care of it, after a long time, Princess Zhao will naturally understand your heart."

"But I'm worried about the Pei family, they must force me, so what can I do?"

"I don't think you should worry too much about this, in fact, the main thing is that your grandfather is too strong, it is he who strongly advocates that you replace Princess Zhao, and now he is gone, although your father and uncle also have this idea, but after all, their status in the family is not as good as your grandfather, and now it is your second uncle Min who is leading the family, he also quarreled with your grandfather about this matter, I don't think he will force you, wait for two days I will go to his house, find Aunt Min to talk about this matter, try to reduce the pressure on you, and your second uncle Min is the uncle of Princess Zhao, He is more able to coordinate the relationship between you and Princess Zhao. ”

Mother's guidance finally eased Pei Wan'er's anxious mood these days, and she nodded, "Mother's words made me feel much better." ”

"Yes! In fact, the key is to straighten out the relationship with your husband, let him like you, let him understand your heart, so that no matter how others treat you, you can live peacefully, this is my mother's experience for more than 20 years, you have to remember. ”

"Mother, I remember."

．．．．．．．．．

The news of Li Qing'an's appearance in Pei's Mansion soon spread throughout the city, and everyone was praising Li Qing'an's love and righteousness, just returned to Chang'an, the first thing was to give Pei Zunqing condolences, and also did the courtesy of the younger generations to wear linen and filial piety, and this was enough to make the Tang people who put filial piety first praise each other.

I am afraid that among the officials in Manchang'an, only one person is afraid of Li Qing'an's actions, this person is Hu Peiyun, the general of the internal guard, Hu Peiyun is sitting in the carriage at this time, imagining the situation of Li Qing'an wearing linen and wearing filial piety and crying, it is estimated that that kind of sincerity will make everyone sad, but if they know that Pei Zunqing was killed by Li Qing'an, I don't know how the Pei family and the people in the court will feel?

Hu Peiyun couldn't help but sigh, "Those who take the world are very capable of it." ’

The carriage galloped to Xishi, drove into Lingxi Lane, began to slow down, and finally stopped.

"Envoy, it's here!" The coachman jumped out of the carriage and opened the door.

Hu Peiyun looked at it, and saw that when he arrived at Atamiju, the flag was changed to a new color, and it was twice as large, and the big flag with a white background in Phnom Penh was written in cursive 'Atahaiju' three big black characters, Hu Peiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, since Li Qing'an took power, the Hidden Dragon Society is no longer as cautious and cautious as before, and it seems to have become swaggering, looking at least more swaggering than before.

As soon as Hu Peiyun got out of the carriage, a guy greeted him, bowed down and said with a smile: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the shop is repairing the interior today and is not open to the public, please come back tomorrow!" ”

Hu Yunpei is also a member of the Hidden Dragon Society, he used to be in charge of the branch of the Han and Tang Societies in Luoyang, and often came to Atamiju, he saw that the guy in front of him seemed to be a newcomer, and he didn't know himself, he looked at the window on the most edge of the window, and saw a pot of chrysanthemums on the platform outside the window, which was a signal that the Hidden Dragon Society was holding a meeting.

Hu Yunpei's heart suddenly swelled with anger, the Hidden Dragon Society held a meeting without notifying himself, he pointed to the chrysanthemum and said: "All the flowers are killed in winter, only the chrysanthemum welcomes guests." ”

This is the hidden language of the Hidden Dragon Society, which means that he also came to participate in the Hidden Dragon Meeting, the guy obviously didn't know, looked at Hu Peiyun blankly, and didn't know what he meant when he said these two words, at this time, someone in the lobby walked out laughing, "Which fragrant wind blew Brother Hu here?" ”

The person who came out was Chang Jin, the proprietor of Atami Ju, he was the leader of the Hidden Dragon Society, which was equivalent to the secretary of the board of directors, and the chairman was Li Qing'an, but he didn't know how to hide the dragon, and the affairs of the Hidden Dragon Society were all handled by Chang Jin.

Hu Peiyun snorted heavily: "It seems that I came at the wrong time!" ”

Chang Jin understood Hu Peiyun's grievances, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "You also know that this is the meaning of the master, the incumbent people do not participate in the affairs of the Chang, only participate in the annual sacrifice, like you, Zhang Yue, and Luo Qiming are all incumbent people." ”

"But there are things you should tell me!" Hu Peiyun remembered Pei Zunqing's matter, and he was still a little angry.

"Let's go inside!"

Chang Jin led him up to the second floor, sat down in a room, and asked with a smile, "Say it!" What should I not hide from you? ”

"Pei Zunqing's matter!"

Chang Jin's face changed, he walked to the door, looked to both sides, locked the door, and then sat down and asked in a low voice, "How do you know?" ”

"What did I do, did you forget?"

Chang Jin sighed for a while and said: "This matter is all planned and executed by me, not to mention you, no one else knows, it is very secret at this time, it is a matter of the master's reputation, please keep it secret no matter what." ”

"I know, the general has reminded me."

Hu Peiyun heard that no one else knew, so he balanced his heart a little, and he asked again: "What about a murderer at that time?" Have you hidden it? ”

"This person is a member of the Han and Tang Associations, and he has been sent back to Anxi, and he will never come to the Central Plains in the future."

Hu Peiyun actually had some details he wanted to ask, but he knew that Chang Jin would not tell him, so he stopped mentioning the matter and changed the topic: "Hmm! What are you having today? ”

"This.... The morning meeting has ended, mainly to discuss the establishment of a cabinet shop. ”
