Chapter 012: Dream (1)
Gu Yaopian looked embarrassed and didn't say a word.
Pei Yu was even more helpless when he saw her like this, "What happened on Magpie Lake was told to me by him." β
"Didn't you little girl let him testify against you? Why are you pretending to be confused with me now? β
Pei Yu's words were light, and there was no harsh criticism in his eyes.
He really didn't want Gu Yaolian and Song Linyuan to get too close, Xuanning Hou Lu's family was very complicated, and even he didn't want to get too close to the Lu family.
Pei Yu's maternal grandfather, Lao Xuanninghou, once went to Yunzhou to check the salt tax, but he didn't want to meet water bandits on the way, and was rescued by the Song family and escaped.
Old Xuanning Hou didn't have any big backers, and if he wanted to find out the salt tax, he had to borrow the power of the Yunzhou dragon head snake. Later, it was also the Song family who helped Lao Xuanninghou complete his errand.
The old Xuanning Hou Zhi'en reported that before leaving, he gave the Song family a jade pendant, saying that he was willing to marry the Song family and marry his children, which was a token of marriage.
The Song family has been in Yunzhou for many years and has a lot of silver in their hands.
The old Xuanning Hou fell in love with the Song family's silver, and the Song family also wanted to take advantage of the power of the Xuanning Hou Lu family to make the surrounding officials no longer find excuses to bully them.
This family business was decided in this way.
Who knew that two of the three sons of the old Xuanning Marquis were dead and disabled, leaving only the eldest son Lu Zhen.
Lu Zhen has been married for many years, so it is naturally impossible to abandon his wife and marry the daughter of the Song family. So this matter dragged on until the time of the death of the old Xuanning Hou-
Old Xuanning Hou said to Lu Zhen on his deathbed that if he wanted to inherit the throne, he had to marry the daughter of the Song family.
At that time, the old Xuanning Hou was already terminally ill, and this passage was also nonsense, but it happened to be heard by the people around Kou Xiang.
Kou Xiang, like today's saints, emphasizes literature over martial arts.
In a family of military generals like Xuanning Hou, Kou Xiang naturally hopes that there will be one less.
When everyone thought that the Marquis of Xuanning Mansion would be demoted, Lu Zhen found the Song family.
The only daughter of the Song family has been married and is now a widow.
She is willing to remarry Lu Zhen as a concubine, but the only requirement is that she must bring Song Linyuan, the only bloodline left by her ex-husband, to the Lu family.
Lu Zhen didn't want the Marquis Mansion to be demoted, so he nodded in the end.
Because in this way, it can be regarded as marrying the daughter of the Song family.
Lu Zhen also had to agree, because the Hou Mansion was short of silver, and they needed the silver taels brought by the Song family.
The Song family became pregnant after only two years of entering the Xuanning Hou Mansion, but unfortunately the child was born without breath, and the Song family was depressed and didn't like to go out anymore.
The Song family has been keeping to themselves since she entered the house, afraid that she would be embarrassed by Lu Zhen, and even let the children left by her ex-husband have her surname, and she has never mentioned that she wants Song Linyuan to change her surname to Lu family tree. She has been respectful to Lu Zhen's wife Cai over the years, and has never acted out of the way.
Pei Yu had met the Song family a few times.
When his wife was seriously ill, there were eyeliners in other rooms in Yongqing Pavilion.
It was the Song family who came to Bofu instead of the Cai family, who was afraid of being sick, and took care of his wife and Gu Yaolian for a while, so that he had time to rectify the atmosphere of the inner house.
Song is not a beauty, but it gives people a comfortable feeling.
It's no wonder that after so many years, the Cai family looks nothing to the Song family on the surface, but there is no shortage of hostility in private.
Even Cai's children are very harsh on Song Linyuan.
Pei Yu didn't know that his eldest cousin had been wooing himself over the years, just to pave the way for Cai's children.
Cai thinks about how to tie up her husband's heart all day long, but neglects to teach her children.
Among the youngest generation of the Xuanning Marquis Mansion, no one can take the road of the imperial examination, and they are even more unwilling to join the army to accumulate military merits.
"Uncle, I'm ......" Gu Yaolian looked at the man in front of him and was silent, and somehow remembered the last time he saw Pei Yu in his previous life.
At that time, Pei Yu's body was very thin, and his temples were white.
A pair of eyes are like ice water in winter, black and cold.
They just glanced at each other from a distance, and Gu Yaolian felt infiltrated.
An uncle who has lost his aunt is like a poison that has lost a porcelain bottle, leaving behind all the venom that kills people everywhere he goes.
She didn't want her uncle to be like in his previous life.
Reviled by the military attachΓ© and hated by the emperor.
"I had a dream." Gu Yaolian continued, "In my dream, I was pushed into the lake, and it was the Xiao family who saved me. When I was unconscious, it was rumored outside that I had a personal affair with Liu Yu, and it was I who entangled him so much that I fell into the lake. β
"The rumors outside are getting more and more outrageous, which alarmed the old uncle, and he asked my aunt to send me back to Liu's house. He said, the Liu family is my foreign family, even if Liu Yu is unwilling to marry me, because my father is about to come back, he will definitely agree to this family business. β
My aunt disagreed, and I had an argument with my uncle. Later, Aunt Ren came to see me, told me about my aunt's situation, and begged me to leave the Pei family as soon as possible. She said that there are still too many girls in the Pei family to marry, and if I am in the Pei family, I will be burdened by my aunt and drag all the girls in the Pei family into the water. β
"My heart is full of grievances, obviously someone wants to harm me, why is it like this? I couldn't argue, but I didn't want my aunt to be embarrassed, so I went back to Liu's house. β
Gu Yaolian's eyes were slightly red when she said this, "But uncle, do you believe me?" I'm with Liu Yu, it's really nothing. β
If others talk about this dream to Pei Yu, Pei Yu is afraid that he will scoff at it.
What happened in a dream? How can it be taken seriously.
But Pei Yu quickly understood that the Liu family really did this this time, no wonder this girl was afraid of this.
The Liu family knows too well what kind of character Gu Yaolian is, Wang Ruolan has loved Gu Yaolian over the years, and Gu Yaolian doesn't feel sorry for Wang Ruolan?
Gu Yaolian is too pedantic and too foolish.
In order to take care of the overall situation, she will definitely choose to leave the Pei family.
What will become of his wife who has lost Gu Yaolian's company? Pei Yu knew it very well in his heart.
Didn't the former wife just sit under the plane tree in the yard all day long, in a daze all day? It's like a lifeless puppet.
"Of course I believe in you." Pei Yu felt uncomfortable when he saw Gu Yao pitiful like this, so he comforted, "Pity, it's just a dream, it's a coincidence." β
"You see that you didn't fall into the water, and the Liu family didn't dare to spread the news about you and the son of the Liu family."
"As long as you don't want to go back, whoever comes to the Pei family, my uncle won't let them take you away."
Gu Yao smiled bitterly, "But uncle, don't you want to know, why do I know that the Ji family has a wind and rain bamboo and stone map?" β
"I not only know what the Ji family has, but I also know what will happen in the future......"
Pei Yu sat up straight, he took a breath of cold air, "What do you mean by that?" β
"In the dream, the old uncle went half a year later." Gu Yaolian said, "Although the title was inherited by my uncle, three years after my uncle Ding Wei, my aunt also left. β
Pei Yu raised his hand and took the paperweight on the side, and slammed it on the ground, "Stop." β
He only felt that he could not breathe, and he fell into the ice cellar.
