Chapter 31: The Past

On this day, Mrs. Pei was almost well, leaning back, watching Afu sitting on the edge of the bed and weaving Yingluo.

She is now sane and clear, looking at Afu's face is a big circle, and her wrist is even more inadequate, she can't help but sigh: "A-Niang's illness is really embarrassing for Afu." ”

Hearing this, Afu raised her head and showed a sweet smile: "It's not difficult, A-Niang is fine, A-Fu's heart will be settled." ”

She was very fond of weaving, and it took her half a day to get a knot, and it was crooked.

The old lady couldn't see it, slapped her on the back lightly, and pointed her to start over: "I saw that you didn't have a good foundation when you were a child, and your father and mother are spoiled, right?" ”

Ah Fu nodded a little embarrassedly: "Yes, some." My aunt is better, my godmother and nurse are really obedient. ”

"It's okay, who made Afu hurt people, he is a good boy who is pampered and not bad." Old Madam Pei caressed her half-draped hair lovingly, "Shuyu is okay with you?" ”

Ah Fu replied with a brain: "My husband is very good to Ah Fu." ”

In the past few days, I have been fighting in a hurry, and I have devoted myself to the old lady's illness, and I have forgotten some bad things.

Mrs. Pei patted her back again: "I know that good news is not reported!" Let me ask you, my Erlang, I know, he has always been a fun-loving person, but he has some nonsense? ”

A "nonsense" suddenly awakened some dusty memories of Afu.

Old Madam Pei saw her suddenly raise her head, and knew that she had asked the right question: "This stinky boy, is he looking for some flowers and willows again?" ”

Afu shook her head: "Not really. ”

But there is one thing that has always weighed on her heart, but it is difficult to say.

"Ah Niang, Ming Yuan, was it your maid in the past?" In the end, Afu still asked this sentence euphemistically.

Old Madam Pei tilted her head and thought for a while: "Which Ming Mandarin?" ”

"It's the one who used to be called Qian'er, and Afu forgot to report it to her mother-in-law. Because she collided with Afu's mother's name, my husband and I changed her name. ”

Old Madam Pei nodded, her face was indistinguishable: "Well, Shuyu just agrees." ”

When Afu heard this, her heart turned even more upside down. Has the husband always been so interested in this Ming Yuan?? How can she seduce her husband to death?

Thinking like this, Afu's face revealed a little annoyance and sourness, and she secretly clenched her fists, thinking that she had to give her a little bitterness.

Old Madam Pei called her a few times, and she was immersed in her own little world as if she hadn't heard it.

"How? That girl is indulgent again? Old Madam Pei put her hand on Afu's fist and asked Wen Yan.

Ave pursed her lips.

She was ashamed to say it, but she was really troubled by it.

She hasn't forgotten the things when she changed the name of Ming Yuan, and the matter of the dragon and the phoenix is even more unforgettable..

She carefully observed the old lady's face, and said tactfully: "The husband treats her. I always felt a little different. I don't know about that sister.."

She has always bent her neck to call her more than ten years older sister Ming Yuan, but this time in front of the old lady, she still restrained a little.

The old lady lowered her eyes and seemed to smile: "... She... She's a little different..."

Afu unconsciously threw Yingluo away, and her heart reached her throat.

She was only afraid that the old lady would say something about her childhood sweetheart, and the young master Kuo fell in love with the poor girl's market story, so she was really going to vomit blood.

"Six years ago, Shu Yu and his eldest brother went to fight in Nanshao, you know, right?"

Afu nodded. The tragedy, pathos and strangeness of this battle, she was still in the Mu family at the time, and she listened to Brother Mingyan and Brother Jin Heng discuss it.

The two hot-blooded teenagers said that they were in a good place, and tears were spilled on their fronts.

It was early summer, and the people of Nanshao were in a state of scarcity, so those barbarians went to Fu'an County to grab grain.

General Qiao Feng and Pei Zhong sent three golden letters in a row to ask for the removal of insults, but they were rejected again and again.

In the end, he was finally able to go on the expedition, and Fu'an County was full of corpses.

The good news was spread frequently, just when the government and the opposition were shaken, and the people cheered and waited for the day of the hero's triumph, it was actually the three armies, General Qiao Feng and Captain Pei Zhongzhi both died tragically in the Nanshao elephant array, only the 21-year-old Pei Shuyu returned with the coffin and kowtowed outside the city wall to apologize.

Afu nodded: "Naturally, I have heard of it, according to the feat of the eldest brother, it is known to women and children." ”

Old Madam Pei's concealment was under the cloud temples, only a little green tendon on the corner of her forehead, and she looked like she had endured countless pains: "That day.. Our Pei family, not only a big man left, but also a few small guys who grew up with their brothers, all of whom were strong young men. ”

"None of them came back."

"Among them, the one who grew up with your husband, whose family name is Han, is called Ji'er. His family has followed the Pei family for generations, his grandfather, and his father are all dead. ”

"In this generation, there are only him and his sister. When his mother left, she begged me to take care of them. So I asked him to be Shuyu's servant, and his sister was Shuyu's roommate, thinking that in the future, I would mention her aunt, and I would be able to worry about food and clothing. ”

At this point, Afu has understood everything.
