The Xu family is full of famous generals, and there are many available talents under his command. If he becomes the king of Dongzhen one day, he can use the power of the Xu family to annex the surrounding small tribes or let the Xu family send people to help train the army, and grow stronger little by little. Maybe when it comes to Duhu's grandchildren, they will have the strength to counter Great Xia.

Pei Jinyao thought about it all the way and felt that this was not a fantasy. And the three of Pingyi's mother and son must have their own plans. It's not just a matter of going back to Beijing for a few days and celebrating your birthday. Of course, with the noisy energy of Pingyi and Nato, they can't live in peace.

The little agent rolled up his cuffs, "I'll fry some small yellow croaker and send it to the brothers later." ”

Lao Wen Zhengse said: "The small night gambling money goes." ”

Pei Jinyao smiled and handed him a small bag of silver bills, "Lose more." ”

……

In the evening, Pei Jinyao changed into a bamboo blue arrow sleeve and wore a pearl crown to live in the congregation.

After eating with Han He once last time, she thought it was good, so she asked Qian Wei to try it.

Qian Wei is also wearing arrow sleeves, she chose apricot red, her face is more and more bright, and her childishness has faded and she has a faint girlish and gentle appearance.

"Why are you skinny again?" Qian Wei pinched Pei Jinyao's cheek with some distress, "I've grown taller." She and Pei Jinyao often write letters to each other to give some gadgets, but they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Pei Jinyao smiled and wiped her hands with a towel, "Bitter summer." ”

Qian Wei poured her a bowl of fragrant sugar thirsty water, "This is made by our cook, you can taste it." ”

Pei Jinyao took a sip of the bowl and praised, "It's delicious." ”

Qian Wei laughed so hard that her eyes were crooked.

"Last time, I gave Mrs. Guan a birthday greeting, and I wanted to get together with you. I didn't expect something like that to happen. ”

Pei Jinzhu caused a mess, Pei Jinyao did not hide it from Qian Wei. The cause and effect of it are clearly explained to her. also gave her a four-color gift to make amends. Qian Wei is not a hypocritical person, and it is Pei Jinzhu and Yin Jing who are wrong, and they are punished for not raising one of them and keeping them alive.

It was Liu Tong who upset Qian Wei. The meaning of King Kang's marriage is already obvious, and he almost pierced the layer of window paper. Qian Beiwang is not an arbitrary and domineering patriarch, and he also asked Qian Wei if he was willing.

But what can Qian Wei say. She didn't even see what Liu Tong looked like, how did she know if he was good or not.

"In a few days, Sui'an County will host a flower-viewing banquet, you can go with me." Sui'an's banquet must be posted to Qian Wei. The relationship between the two of them grew closer. But Qian Wei also took Pei Jinyao more seriously.

Pei Jinyao said apologetically: "I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time." She was thinking about asking for rain, and she hadn't slept soundly for days.

Qian Wei's cheeks flushed, and she stammered, "That...... The younger brother of the lord of Sui'an is the prince of King Kang, and he ...... I want to marry our family. ”

The slightest bit of wind and grass in the noble eunuch can't escape the ears of Lao Wen and the little secret agent. Sui'an took a fancy to Qian Wei, and Pei Jinyao also knew it. But Qian Wei didn't mention it, so she didn't ask. Qian Wei's marriage is not yet her turn to be an outsider.

Qian Wei grabbed the handkerchief in both hands and continued blankly, "Grandfather asked me what I thought, and I don't know. I still saw Liu Shizi when I was in Xiaoliu Beizhuang, and it was far away after dark, so I just felt that he was not short. ”

"Better than the lord of Sui'an." Pei Jinyao said casually, afraid that Qian Wei would want to add quickly, "Last time Liu Shizi came to send me an invitation. It was Mrs. Guan's 60th birthday. ”

Qian Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Then what do you think of him?" ”

Pei Jinyao spread her hands, "Even if I said something about the scene, I can't see anything." Or I'll ask Ah Fa to help inquire. They have a way to do it. ”

Qian Wei nodded like pounding garlic, thought about it, took out a few silver tickets from her purse and stuffed them into Pei Jinyao's hand, "You can't let people be busy in vain, you can use the money to buy ice and snow drinks for them to eat." ”

"Ah Fa, I don't miss a lot of work on weekdays. You take the money first. It's never too late to wait for the results to be asked. Pei Jinyao poured down two large mouthfuls of gum thirst water, "If you really don't care, ask your cook to make some thirsty water and send it to the Shenji Division." Ah Fa is very awkward, it is better to give him some delicious food than to give him money. ”

Qian Wei held her chin with one hand, looked at Pei Jinyao and said with a smile: "My brother also told me that your magic trick is not good, but it is very easy in my opinion." There are people who have the East Factory under their hands to use it, and they are close neighbors to the West Factory. Last time, Yin's house went to your door to scold and fight, which alarmed both factories and factories. But there is no such majestic little lady as you in the whole capital. ”

"Easy?" Pei Jinyao pointed to the green shadow under his eyes, "See, is this still called relaxation?" You don't even know how many people want to see my jokes. "There are still many people who want to push her to death.

Qian Wei's face tightened, held her hand, and said, "By the way, I still want to ask you to come, begging for rain...... How sure are you? ”

How much? Pei Jinyao secretly weighed it, and half of it was full. But that can't be said.

Pei Jinyao cleared her throat, straightened her waist, and took out the posture of a magic stick, "Well, this...... I can only understand. You know what I mean, right? ”

Qian Wei shook her head, "I don't understand." ”

"It's okay if you don't understand. Anyway, we'll see when the time comes. Pei Jinyao narrowed her eyes and smiled a lot.

Qian Wei finished the meal with full doubts. Until the two broke up in front of Congzhongju, she didn't figure out how much Pei Jinyao had to do.

Pei Jinyao gently stroked her round belly and lay in the carriage on all fours, and said to herself: "How can I feel like I haven't eaten this meal." Before the execution of the death row inmates, I was as apprehensive as I was. "The closer she gets to the day of the rain, the more she eats. It's as if he wants to eat back all the losses he has lost. Maybe it's because of panic? Pei Jinyao's brain was wooden, and she closed her eyes in a daze.

When she was half asleep and half awake, she heard someone shouting at her in a sharp voice: "Pei Jinyao, Pei Jinyao!" ”

Who?! Who's calling her. It sounded razor-sharp. It is full of resentment, resentment and unwillingness.

Pei Jinyao opened her eyes suddenly, lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw Pei Jinzhu chasing behind her carriage, running with her sideburns scattered and losing a shoe. But she didn't care about picking it up, pointed at Pei Jinyao and scolded angrily: "You have made our mother miserable!" You stinky girl! ”

It was already dark, and Pei Jinzhu's figure standing in the dark streets and alleys was a little weak against the towering plane trees on both sides of the road. However, the voice in her throat was as sharp as a knife that pierced a person's eardrums.

Pei Jinyao frowned.

The car moved forward unhurriedly, and the sound of horses' hooves was orderly, and Pei Jinzhu, who was following behind, was very embarrassed. She finally stopped, and slowly crouched on the ground in despair. Pei Jinyao lowered the curtain and sighed almost inaudibly.

Lao Sun raised his horsewhip and shook a crisp whip, and opened the chatterbox, "Yin Huang is in prison, and Yin Jing has to help him pay back the gambling debts he owes." More than 10,000 taels of profits, how can their family have silver, they have no choice but to sell the house and use it as some gold and silver jewelry, and the maids and servants in the family also let people take a lot of money, so they can get the money together. After selling the house, their family rented a small courtyard in the east of the city to live.

Today, my aunt and grandmother came to our house to make a fuss. The old lady took fifty taels of silver for her from Mama Wei. She didn't think much of the silver ingots were on the door, and she would ask for three thousand taels when she opened her mouth. Mama Wei called her into the upside-down room and said something, she picked up the silver and cried away. That street is the only way for us to go home, maybe my aunt and grandmother are waiting for you there. She stopped in the middle of the road first, and the little one didn't dare to stop. What if a few people come out and tie you up? "If it had been someone else, he might not have been so guarded. But Pei Jinzhu can do everything, can he do it if he doesn't have to guard against it.

"My uncle stuffed all the children born in the house to my aunt and grandmother, saying that she was asked to raise them. What's going on? Lao Sun shook his head with a smile.

If Pei Jinzhu and Yin Jing succeed that day, Yin Jing's concubine will be raised by her. Today's Pei Jinzhu is pitiful, but she also has her hate. Pei Jinyao was silent and leaned back into the big pillow.

……

Bae Jinzhu dragged her tired legs back to the east of the city.

The gambling house took all the money in their hands, and the small courtyard house where they live now was rented by the Lei family as the head of a set.

A large family of more than a dozen people lives here, not to mention the crowding, what makes Pei Jinzhu most angry is that Yin Jing handed over all his concubines and concubines to her to raise. Why should she raise the seeds that crawled out of the belly of the room? Pei Jinzhu was nauseated for a while.

Turning into the chimney alley, Pei Jinzhu slowed down. She didn't want to go back to the cramped courtyard. It's not half the size of Tangyuan. The dilapidated one is not as good as the subordinate room of Pei's house. Pei Jinzhu held the silver ingot in his sleeve pocket. These fifty taels of silver are her life-saving money, and she must not let Yin Jing take it. He couldn't prostitute anymore, and gambling became his only pleasure. After moving here, he didn't want to go around most of the city to Qinglong Casino. One is to hire a car to ask for money, and the other is to delay work.

Liu Lezi, who was three streets away, was saving up at home and gathering a group of bad gamblers to play dice at his place. Yin Jing goes almost every day, but he doesn't lose every time, and he can win two occasionally. But after winning the money, it was looted by the Lei clan before it could be hot. Whatever she says about her son is hers, and she must not let other women take advantage.

Pei Jinzhu's heart was full of hatred. What other woman? She is the wife of Yin Jingming. What's more, if it weren't for Yin Jing, a waste who has not achieved enough things and more than failed, why would she Pei Jinzhu have gotten to this point.

Fortunately, there is also Yin. Pei Jinzhu pinched the meat bun with residual warmth in the oiled paper bag, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. This was bought for the Yin family. She didn't do a good job in her small confinement and often had back pain. Before moving to the east of the city, the Yin family's maids were all sold, and they didn't even leave the house for Yin Jing to have children. Only yellow peaches and double peaches remain. A large family has endless work to do from morning to night. The yellow peach double peach feet are busy and their feet do not touch the ground. Pei Jinzhu and Yin's are not idle, they have to do embroidery work to supplement the family. The Lei family relied on the support of their mother's family, and bullied their mother and daughter a lot.

Pei Jinzhu kicked the stones on the ground hatefully, "Damn Pei Jinyao, sooner or later you will look good!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps behind him. Pei Jinzhu turned her head vigilantly to see that it was a man walking behind her with a pick, and he was about to catch up.

Pei Jinzhu was shocked, hugged the meat bun to his chest, and sped up his steps.

"Big sister, big sister." The man cried out, "You have lost your money." ”

Silver?

Pei Jinzhu paused, opened the purse containing the broken silver and counted it neatly, there were two corners of broken silver and more than a dozen copper plates. It should be no less. I just wanted to reply that the silver was not hers. And he saw a big hand holding a silver bill. In the thin moonlight, this silver coin looks particularly well-behaved and beautiful.

"Eldest sister, you dropped it, right?" The voice was deep and low, coupled with the silver coin in his hand, Pei Jinyao felt very pleasant, "I dropped it." She pinched the silver coin to her fingertips and bent her knees, "Thank you." ”

"No thanks, no thanks. Does the eldest sister live here too? How can I look at you so much? Women should be careful when they go out at night, why don't the men in your family come out to greet them. The kind reminder made Pei Jinzhu's heart warm, "My mother wants to eat steamed buns, I'll buy them for her." ”

"The eldest sister is so filial." The man raised his chin and pointed to the small courtyard in front of him, "I'm coming to see my brother." He is a feng shui gentleman, and he knows the feng shui of Chengdong Ma. The big hand covered with calluses patted the picker on the shoulder, "My surname is Zhang, and I draw candy people in Ci'en Lane." People call me Sugar Man Zhang. ”

Pei Jinzhu blessed his body, "Brother Zhang." Our family just moved here. Pointing to the courtyard at the end of the alley, "That's it." My husband's surname is Yin. ”

Sugar Man Zhang nodded, "It's a rented house, right?" I've heard my brother say that there are children crying at night in your family. As he spoke, he took off the candy man inserted in the pick and handed it to Pei Jinzhu, "This one can't be eaten after being dusty all day, so take it to the child to watch and play." ”

Pei Jinzhu was embarrassed, "That's ...... No, it's not ......" she wanted to say that the child was not hers, but she felt that it was too hypocritical to explain to strangers.

"Take it. It's all from the neighborhood. ”

Sugar Man Zhang's smile is simple and honest. In the past, if he met such a person, Pei Jinzhu would definitely cover his nose for fear of avoiding it. But tonight was very strange, from the time she heard the sound of "big sister", a burst of warmth inexplicably surged in her heart. Pei Jinzhu took it, and the sugar man of the Jade Rabbit pounding medicine was lifelike, and he couldn't help but praise: "Brother Zhang's hands are so skillful." ”

"Whew, it's just a mouthful of food." Sugar Man Zhang held the pick on his shoulder, "The eldest sister will still ask the men in the family to follow when she goes out in the future." In the east of our city, it is rare to see such an outstanding talent as the eldest sister. ”

Pei Jinzhu's face was flushed, and she pursed her mouth and lowered her head slightly. She secretly looked at the sanded cloth shoes of the sugar man chapter out of the corner of her eye, and said in her heart that this person must not have a mother-in-law.

The two walked side by side, and neither spoke again. Sugar Man Zhang stopped in front of Ma Feng Shui's door, "You go." I'll just stand here and watch you walk in. ”

Pei Jinzhu glanced at him deeply and continued to walk forward.

arrived at the door of his house, and the door opened without waiting for the door, Yin Shi poked his head out eagerly, "Sister Zhu'er, you are back, I have to worry about death." Looking at the candy man in her hand, she scolded with a straight face: "What are you spending money on what you don't like to eat?" Those two cubs didn't crawl out of your belly. Regardless of whether they live or die......"

Pei Jinzhu didn't want to be seen by Sugar Man Zhang's embarrassment, so he hurriedly dodged in and explained to Yin Shi in a low voice.

Sugar Man Zhang looked at the door and closed behind Pei Jinzhu with a clang, the corners of his mouth curved, and he smiled silently.
