Chapter 26: I don't need the icing on the cake
Mrs. Pei was furious, and Pei Xibao trembled with fright.
"Yes, I was careless," Pei Xibao's heart beat like thunder, she had never seen her grandmother so angry, and panicked for a moment, "I thought I could control the feather, but it turned out to be ...... Accidentally fell down the mountain. ”
She only dared to take all the blame on herself.
"What?" Aunt Zhao almost knocked over the teacup in her hand when she heard this.
"Horseback riding?" Mrs. Pei's eyes narrowed, "Didn't you say that you went on a spring outing to enjoy the flowers, how could you ride a horse?" ”
Pei Xibao almost bit off his tongue, but he knew that he couldn't hide it at all, so he had to say timidly: "It's Xibao who lied......"
Mrs. Pei patted the case: "You! The words stopped abruptly, and he was absolutely angry.
Pei Yunjin on the side hurriedly got up to comfort his grandmother, and Fang also twisted the handkerchief and took the opportunity to step forward to wipe the dust and mud off Pei Xibao's face, and he couldn't bear it.
"Ancestor, you ......" you dissipated your anger, she opened her mouth to comfort.
"Shut up," the old lady scolded Fang Shi while brushing away Pei Yunjin's hand, and the dragon's head staff trembled and pointed at the kneeling little girl, "You say, did that bastard boy from Yanqi instigate you?!" ”
As soon as tears hung in the corners of Pei Xibao's eyes, the old lady's heart softened, but the account had to be settled, so she naturally had to find someone to vent her anger.
"Grandmother, it's not about Yanqi, it's me, it's me who forced him to ride the feather, if it weren't for Yanqi, Xibao would have fallen off the cliff, maybe now ...... "It's impossible to investigate whether it's life or death."
Pei Xibao's anxious tears poured out.
"It's not because he doesn't take care of him?!" Old Madam Pei shouted angrily, even if the little granddaughter wants to ride a horse, then Yanqi can't find ten or eight people to take good care of her, what does it mean that she dismissed all the servants in one go?!
"Grandmother, Bao'er is just playful and likes foals, so you can spare her this time." Pei Yunjin also comforted softly, and patted the old lady's back softly with his palm.
"Yes, Xibao is still young, you are reluctant to scold her on weekdays, just come back safely." Aunt Zhao couldn't help but speak.
"It's not all lawlessness that you spoiled!"
Aunt Zhao sighed with emotion and glanced at the Fang family, isn't the most favored Pei Xibao in the entire Pei family the ancestor you.
"Grandmother, you said you believed in Xibao." Pei Xibao was aggrieved.
"I didn't let you come so nonsense, Pei Sheng is still lying on the bed now, if something happens to me, how can my old woman explain to him?!" Not only do you lie and deceive people and make up stories, but you also don't care about the worries of your relatives, like words?
"I can't, I can't...... Do you participate in the Jockey Club for the Pei family? Pei Xibao lowered his head and bit his lip.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a long time, and the atmosphere in the hall was a little stagnant.
Mrs. Pei jumped up "rubbing", her face was already pale, but now she suddenly turned red, and she was angry: "You-what idea do you have, you want to replace the Pei family, you still want to ......" She choked in her throat.
Fang shook his head again and again: "Xibao, you are a Miss Duwei, how can you go to the Jockey Club to mingle with men?" "Don't you hurry up to apologize to the old ancestor, she kept staring.
"That's it," Aunt Zhao also had to help Fang this time, "one by one with their arms curled up their trouser legs, you learn from them?" There is no young lady in the previous Jockey Club, if you let others scratch your sore feet, wouldn't it be an insult to your own reputation, Xi Bao, in the future, you will marry a rich or expensive, gold, silver and jade will not worry about food and clothing, you are worthy of you. ”
Aunt Zhao's bitter words can be regarded as planning for her from the bottom of her heart.
Pei Xibao gritted his teeth, stood up from the ground as soon as he twisted the dirty skirt, and raised his head and said: "I'm not selling my art, I use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to add icing on the cake to myself," her father is the governor of Nanjun, and she is the proud daughter of Miss Pei's family, "I, Pei Xibao, can't I get married?!" ”
Everyone is admonishing that the more out of line, the more rebellious it is.
"How do you talk to your elders?" Mrs. Pei's breath was not gone, she couldn't listen to her stubborn temper, and the crutches in her hand were frozen high in the air, and she was reluctant to smash it on the little girl's back, "Kneel!" ”
"I don't," Pei Xibao stomped his feet, "Grandmother, you keep saying that you are good for me, but even if I become a lady and learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can I help the Pei family?!" When the first emperor was in the Southern Rebellion, you followed your grandfather to birth and death to have the dragon head staff in your hand, and now there is the Pei family that no one can bully in Nanjun! ”
"Grandmother, ask yourself, back then, you could show up to glorify your ancestors, why did you want me to be a young lady in the family instead."
"I'm not reconciled!" Pei Xibao shouted loudly, turned his head and ran out.
The hall was silent, and the silver needle could be heard clearly when it landed.
Mrs. Pei stammered and looked at her little granddaughter's resentful appearance, with tears in her eyes.
Obviously, Pei Xibao's self-reliance did not end well.
was ordered to face the wall in the room and think about it.
Yuechan cried and red-eyed: "Miss, they are all for your good, they all want to protect you, you never fight with the old lady, why did your temperament suddenly change drastically." ”
Pei Xibao wiped the tears from his face, clenched his fists, and said after a while: "I know they want to protect me, but now," she lowered her voice, "I want to protect them." ”
Everyone in that hall may not be so perfect, sometimes indecisive, sometimes sneering, sometimes more talkative, but when the Pei family suffered a great disaster, no one blamed her Pei Xibao, and even hollowed out their minds to rescue her from prison.
Pei Xibao didn't want to feel powerless anymore.
If she can't save the Pei family, she can't save the Pei family if she is obedient, she wants to be real, become the backbone of the Pei family who can rely on it wholeheartedly, she wants to fight for herself and for them again.
Yuechan was half-understood: "The slave doesn't understand." ”
"Yuechan doesn't need to understand."
Pei Xibao is no longer the little girl who doesn't know the taste of sorrow and thinks that she can be prosperous and rich by recruiting cats and dogs all day long.
"Do you have to go to the Jockey Club?" The little maid didn't understand her own young lady's attachment at all.
Pei Xibao nodded firmly.
The Eight Horses Club is a disguised gathering of powerful people in Nanjun, including those who have been honored for generations, those who have ascended to heaven, and those who have framed those who fell into the well during the disaster of her Pei family.
In the previous life, his father died of illness, and the Pei family plummeted under the suppression of the Quartet, in this life, Pei Sheng is still the governor of Nanjun but may not be able to resist the ambition of jackals, tigers and leopards, if they want to pull the Pei family into the water step by step, they must first ask Pei Xibao if he should be.
She will not repeat the mistakes of the past.
"Where's Yanqi?"
Yuechan wanted to speak and stopped: "The old lady definitely didn't spare him......"
Pei Xibao frowned, the old ancestor was angry and reluctant to beat her, so he naturally wanted to settle the account on his head.
The little girl grabbed her dress and was about to push the door.
snapped, but the door opened first, it was Pei Yunjin.
"Yuechan, stop your young lady." She shouted.
