"The seller's name is Liu Mingshan, he is from Tongcheng, you met him in the casino, but he still has a layer of identity that you don't know, that is, he is an informant of the Yamen." Pei Ze looked at Pei Man expressionlessly, and said slowly, "He invited you to drink a few times, and you took him as a friend and confidant, but I didn't know that he had inquired about our family's affairs clearly, including Ange'er's daily school and school hours, as well as Ange'er's range of activities." ”

"He was looking for you that day, saying that there were a batch of ancient books to sell, and that the money from the sale would be divided equally with you, you believed it and led him to find Brother An and Wu Wei, you think that Brother An and Wu Wei have money in their hands, and they will definitely buy both, but you didn't expect that Liu Mingshan hijacked them, after the incident, you were worried that your family would be angry, so you kept silent about your acquaintance with Liu Mingshan, yes or no?"

Pei Man just wanted to deny it, but when he saw Pei Chunshan hitting him with a stick, he jumped a few times on one foot and said in a loud voice: "Even if it is, what?" I don't know that he is an informant of the Yamen, let alone that he kidnapped An Ge'er, you can say that I was careless in making friends, but you can't say that I betrayed An Ge'er. ”

"But it's also true that Liu Mingshan gave you money afterwards and asked you not to tell you that you knew him." Pei Ze had a dark face, dragged Pei Man over, grabbed his front and said, "Thousands of precautions, house thieves are difficult to prevent, what you have done, you know it yourself, don't think that we don't know anything, if you stop it as soon as possible, you can still save your life, otherwise, no one can help you." ”

"You, you let go!" Pei Man struggled with a white face, "What I haven't done, what do I admit?" Brother An'er is because of you, don't push everything on me, you are the initiator. ”

"What I have done, I will take responsibility." Pei Ze let go of his hand suddenly, Pei Man didn't stand firm, fell to the ground, and pointed at Pei Ze and said, "I'll tell you the third child, don't think that you are the Marquis of Zhennan, you can point fingers at us, you still have a bunch of bad things yourself, you are embarrassed to say that I, you have been walking with a woman for so long in the first month, and the people in the village are about to die of laughter, and our father is still unwilling to return to the village because of you, and he can't afford to lose that person!" ”

"Enough, you shut up for me, I will ask him about the third child, and now I am asking you, how much do you know about Brother An?" Pei Chunshan wanted to beat Pei Man again, Pei Man hugged his head and ran away, but Pei Ze flew up and blocked the door, Pei Run's face changed, he had never seen Pei Ze so fierce, Pei Man cried and said with a sad face, "I really don't know, if I know, can I not save Brother An?" You just beat me to death, I don't know, if you want to blame the third child, don't care about me. ”

"No matter your business, you have known since you were a child to block us!" Pei Chunshan kicked him angrily, "You are embarrassed to accuse the third child, if it weren't for you, the third child would have fallen into the sea, and there would have been no news for so many years?" He has come through so many ups and downs along the way because of you, you have no conscience, you have cheated the third, you cheated the fourth, do you want to cheat the whole family before you give up! ”

Pei Man was kicked and screamed, and said in a loud voice: "Anyway, no matter what I do, it's not right, you don't like it, you look at me unpleasantly, in the future, you will live your life, I will live my life, our well water will not interfere with the river water, whoever interacts with you again will be the king of the eight calves." ”

"Get out, get out of here!" Pei Chunshan blushed and pointed at him with a stick, and shouted, "From now on, you are no longer a member of the Pei family, you love to roll as far as you want, your house and your boat are all returned to the third child, and you can't owe a penny." ”

"Give it, give it, I don't owe it to you." Pei Man slammed the door and left.

Wang and Pei Ying had already heard the quarrel between father and son, and when they saw Pei Man leaving, Wang stepped forward: "Oh, what's wrong?" Why are you still arguing? ”

"It's none of your business." Pei Chunshan's anger did not subside, and he waved his hand and said, "What should you do, why should you go." ”

Wang glanced at him, leaned on the side of the kang and said to Pei Ze: "Third child, where have you been these days?" How much do you know about An'er? Tell me quickly, my mother is worried that she can't sleep well. ”

"I'm going to the northwest." Pei Ze said in a deep voice, "Brother An'er, I have already asked someone to look for it, and there will be news soon, don't worry." ”

"But in case ......" Wang bit his lip, looked at his son's handsome and thin face, and had the urge to cry.

"No in case." Pei Ze waved his hand, "Let's all go and rest, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

And they dispersed.

Huajiao also heard the quarrel over there, and when she saw Pei Ze coming in, she asked, "What are you arguing about?" ”

"This matter is related to the second brother." Pei Ze looked at her and said in a soothing tone, "That Liu Mingshan said everything, but the second brother still didn't admit it." ”

The peppercorns didn't squeak.

Now that he's back, she doesn't want to bother with these things.

The two went to bed.

Brother Xuan just woke up from sleep, staring at Pei Ze with black grape-like eyes, showing two small teeth and smiling at Pei Ze from time to time, laughing so much that Pei Ze's heart was full of joy, leaning on the futon to play with Brother Xuan, Hua Jiao saw that the father and son were having a good time, so she lay down and slept by herself, after so many days, she was finally able to sleep peacefully.

I was sleeping deeply, and I was woken up by someone's kiss.

Hua Jiao looked at him sleepily: "I want to sleep." ”

It's good for him to come back.

As for the rest, she didn't want to either.

He smiled, and the delicate kiss fell, and he said in a dumb voice: "Long time no see, I'm really back." ”

"You ......" Hua Jiao understood, Tengdi blushed, the two hadn't been together for a long time, she was a little overwhelmed, before he came back, she swore not to take care of him anymore, and even wanted to reconcile with him because of Xu Yingniang's affairs...... But he never thought that he not only recovered his memory, but also got better in this regard, Pei Ze whispered in her ear: "I went to the northwest for this, I don't want you to be wronged with me." ”

"I have never felt wronged because of this, my grievance is that you don't have me in your heart." Hua Jiao looked at the man's familiar and unfamiliar face, and the emotions suppressed in his heart suddenly exploded, don't turn his face, "You don't say anything, I don't know anything, you can go away for so many days at every turn, I can only inquire about you at home through others, I am not as close to Qiu Hu as they are to you." ”

"Not anymore, I'll tell you anything in the future." Pei Ze held her face and said movingly, "I have thought a lot about it these days, plus the trip to the northwest, I have explained everything clearly, you believe me, I will never leave again when I come back this time, even if I want to travel far away, I must take you and the child." ”

"Really?" Hua Jiao looked up at him, "I remember you said something like this before, but you still left without saying hello." ”

"Not this time." Pei Ze smiled, lowered his head and kissed her, "When Brother An comes back, let's go back to Yucheng and live our own little life, and when Brother Xuan is older, I will take him to hunt on horseback, if you want to come back, we can come back anytime and anywhere." ”

"To be honest, I don't want to go to Yucheng." Huajiao said truthfully, "Even if there is no Xu Yingniang, maybe there will be other women, not to mention, I have always been at odds with Wu Mei, I don't want to see her again, I still think Wutong Town is the most suitable for me." ”

"Madam, let's keep talking, it's going to be dawn......" Pei Ze kissed her without saying anything, a storm, the woman was so tired that she didn't want to move, but the man was still a little unfinished, the charm of his heart ignited again, he was going to continue, the little cutie on the side woke up, and cried with his throat, the two of them hurriedly got up to coax the child, Pei Ze frowned, got up and got dressed, and was going to call Zhang's in to hug the child, Hua Jiao called him: "In the middle of the night, don't call her, it's not that I can't take the child, He got up once or twice a night, fed and went to sleep. ”

Pei Ze gave up.

By the time the little one fell asleep, it was already dawn.

Sichuan pepper was tired and fell asleep with the child in his arms.

Pei Ze heard Wang's get up to cook, lightly dressed and went into the kitchen to help Wang's fire, Zhang's went to the main room quietly, and saw that Huajiao and the child were sleeping soundly, so he fetched water and went to the clean room to boil water.

Wang's topic was naturally Pei An, Pei Ze comforted a few words, and then she talked about Pei Ying: "Originally, the Xu family wanted to come to the wedding period these days, but I heard that Brother An'er had an accident, so I didn't come, I heard Xu You say that the Xu family is planning to marry in April, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, this matter has to be decided by the mother-in-law." Pei Ze had no objection.

"Alas, the dowry is almost ready, and there are only two mahogany chests left before they can be bought." Wang glanced at Pei Ze and said in a low voice, "It's not that my mother is partial to Yingzi, but that my mother hopes that your dowry box will be bought by you, first, to ask for good luck, and secondly, my mother also hopes to raise Yingzi's value." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I'll buy the box." Pei Ze happily agreed.

"If you have this thought, my mother will be happy." Wang looked around, and said mysteriously, "I can't let your daughter-in-law know about this......"

"Mother, you've been together for so long, why do you have to hide this from her?" Pei Ze couldn't cry or laugh, how good his daughter-in-law was, reasonable, hard-working, and even more tender to him...... He was very satisfied with the child's mother.

"Hmph, you don't know, that person with peppercorns, you don't want to spend half a tael of silver." Wang pouted and said, "As soon as I mentioned Yingzi's dowry to her, she said that she would add makeup to the eldest and second child, and said that the three of you would take the same silver, if you bought a dowry box for Yingzi privately, what should she do with you?" ”

"No, it won't." Pei Ze looked at the raging flames in the stove and said, "She's not that kind of person." ”

"She's not, mother is?" Seeing the smile on the corner of his son's mouth, Wang's first reaction was that Hua Jiao must have blown some pillow wind on his son last night, shook his head and said, "Your business, my mother can't take care of it, anyway, you don't just make a fuss about the two boxes, the house has been messy enough these days, I don't want you to make any more trouble." ”

"No, it won't." Pei Ze smiled.

I don't know why, but now he feels that these short trivial things in parents are quite warm.

Compared with the killing on the battlefield and the abuse and deception of officialdom, it is a little drizzle.

Because of the events of the night, the peppercorns slept until noon before getting up.

Fortunately, Zhang's took Brother Xuan to bask outside in the sun early, no one disturbed her, and even the food was brought into the house by Pei Ze, seeing that she was still tired, Pei Ze said with a smile: "Continue to sleep after eating, and still have energy at night." ”

"Come less." Hua Jiao said angrily, "I haven't slept well these days, don't make a mess." ”

Last night he seemed to be trying to prove that he was really good.

Tossing so badly, she felt like she was falling apart......

"How can this be a mess!" Pei Ze said seriously, "You calculate how long it has been, I have to get all the previous ones back, otherwise, wouldn't I be at a loss?" ”

"Nonsense, this is also brought back?" Hua Jiao gave him a blank look, "You go to sleep in the study tonight." ”

As the two were talking, they saw Zhang holding the child and lifting the curtain and walking in: "Master Hou, someone is looking for you outside." ”

Pei Ze touched the child's hair, then walked out, saw the visitor, led him to the guest room on the side of the east wing, and when he entered the house, the person who came hugged his fists and said: "Master Hou, Steward Qiu asked his subordinates to give you a letter." ”

Pei Ze took the letter, read it, frowned, and said, "You go to Mingxianglou to drink tea and wait first, and I will write a reply." ”

"Yes!" The people who came retreated.

Pei Ze pondered for a while, went back to the main room, asked Zhang to hold Brother Xuan'er to avoid it, and showed Qiu Hu's letter to Huajiao, who was very surprised after reading it: "Chen Batian asked you to go to Nanzhili to lead people in person?" ”

It's not that she's worried about anything else, but Nanzhili is Chen Batian's territory, and Pei Ze will be very passive.

Pei Ze bowed his head slightly and glanced at her: "I won't go to Nanzhili, I will think of a compromise and meet him in Yucheng, because I also have his handle in my hand." ”

"Will Brother An'er be in danger?"

"Probably not." Pei Ze shook his head and said, "Chen Batian doesn't have the courage to do this, Brother An is just a chess piece, he won't destroy that chess piece until he achieves his goal, Qiu Hu will find a way to find someone to treat him well." ”

"Then I'll accompany you to Yucheng." "Maybe I can help you." ”

"No, you stay here for now." Pei Ze Zhengse said, "You help me keep an eye on my second brother's whereabouts, I suspect that Chen Batian's people will control my every move through him." ”

"Okay, you're busy." Hua Jiao happily agreed, "Leave it to me here in Wutong Town." ”

"I didn't do well enough last night?" Pei Ze asked suddenly.

"What?" Sichuan pepper is confused.

"Why do I think you want me to leave?" Pei Ze's eyes fell on her, and he teased, "I will stay in Yucheng for one night at most, and I will definitely come back tomorrow night." ”

"Your sister ......" Hua Jiao pushed him coquettishly, raised his legs and walked out, your brother was kidnapped, his whereabouts are unknown, you still have the heart to flirt here, what kind of person!

"What's wrong with my sister?" Pei Ze pulled her and said with a smile, "Say it clearly, otherwise, I won't let you go." ”
