Chapter 13: Joining forces
That litter of puppies was kept by Zhong Yi for a few days, and it grew up quickly.
Zhong Yi also felt strange about the fact that this puppy grew up quickly, she just fed such a big puppy according to the amount of food that he needed to eat every day. How did it grow so fast?
Don't everyone think the puppy is cute, hey repeatedly? It's too small for a dog to eat too much, but it's not good.
Zhong Yi looked around and found that no one fed the dogs much. On the contrary, from time to time, the dog ran down the dog hole to the next door.
Could it be that Pei Yang is doing it again?
She hung a small pocket around the necks of each of her five puppies, and in each of them put five notes that read "Pei Yang Big Badass".
Downton felt that the second young master of his family seemed to have changed recently, he lost his temper less often, and his speech was gentle. And most importantly, five dogs! He doesn't think they're dirty, and he doesn't like them shedding!
It's not the original sin to really lose hair, it depends on who the owner is.
Anyway, the princess's, he thinks it's good, it's good everywhere, and the more he looks at it, the better.
Pei Yang stroked the puppy's soft fur, spread out the notes, and muttered, "Where am I broken?" Am I bad? ”
He said this to the dog, but when the puppy saw the delicious food, he only cared about wagging his tail and caring about him.
This person acquiesced, and said proudly: "I'll just say, I'm such a good person, where is it bad." ”
Downton shuddered when he saw this scene, and the second young master had a narcissistic problem recently.
The five cute puppies turned out to be the tools for the two of them to transmit messages, but under Zhong Yi's instructions, Pei Yang didn't feed the dogs too much food.
And these five puppies were also happy about the message.
Approaching the day when Pei Ji and Pei Ti were about to leave Beijing, Pei Yang received a note that read "There are ghosts in the army" and a piece of silver.
Pei Yang understood what Zhong Yi meant, it had been four months since the end of the peace, and the princess finally thought of joining forces with him.
He called Downton and asked his father and brother about their recent itinerary, and he had to find a suitable opportunity to order them.
It's just that his father and brother are not people who like to listen to persuasion, in fact, his Pei family has his own ideas.
"After the prince came back, he slept in a separate room with the princess. The concubine's dowry told the old lady. Just now, the old lady counted down the eldest young master. Downton listened to the news and said to Pei Yang.
Pei Ti married the granddaughter of the Zhenguo general Hou Dongjia, the only son of the old general Hou was martyred during the riots in the northern border of Ping, leaving only such a granddaughter. The old lady of the Pei family's mother family and the Hou family are world friends, and they are both generals, and they understand the difficulties of the gate. So he made the main Pei Ti married Miss Hou.
It's just that after getting married, Pei Ti went to the border. For this reason, the Hou family and the Pei family have quarreled for a long time, isn't this a cycle and falling into a cycle?
"I have long said that what is the point of such a marriage in name only? Like my father, if he wants to marry a woman he likes, he will harm his children. Forbearance like my brother harmed himself and others. The old lady in our family and the one in the palace are worthy of being cousins. I am used to being arbitrary, although I am well-intentioned, but I don't understand the hearts of future generations. Pei Yang shook his head and sighed.
"How many of the Marquis of the palace can marry someone they like?"
Pei Yang listened to Downton's words and smiled, "Even you think like this, which shows that this thing is wrong." How can this marital relationship be used for trading? The prosperity of a family, if it can be maintained by marriage, it is also a big joke. ”
"Didn't the old lady feel sorry for others, so she was referring to this marriage?"
Pei Yang saw that Downton was puzzled, and explained to him: "The only daughter of the Hou family, married into the Pei family, in the future, how much of the Pei family's power can be accounted for in the army?" It's just that the rise and fall of this family's glory and disgrace depends on the efforts of future generations. If the children and grandchildren are not good, it means that the education of the older generation is not good, who is to blame? ”
"I'm afraid you can't explain this to others."
Pei Yang didn't expect others to understand in his heart.
He went out of his yard and went to his grandmother's house, and before he could get near the door, he heard his grandmother's loud voice reprimand: "Your father didn't let me worry about it, and got that woman home." You are the same, don't let your daughter-in-law go, don't go to the border. Why, the daughter-in-law I chose for you, you are not satisfied. ”
Pei Yang thought to himself, this is over, the old lady got angry, and even scolded Lao Tzu and her son.
In order to leak the news to his brother, he can only be the smiling face of the round.
As soon as he entered the door with a smile, he saw his eldest brother kneeling and the broken tea cup on the ground. He deliberately bypassed his eldest brother and grinned at his grandmother: "Ouch, who made my ancestor angry." ”
Mrs. Pei was also not angry when she saw Pei Yang, and the surname of this family was Pei, which was not worry-free.
"Stinky boy! Don't fool me here! Break the siege for your brother. ”
Pei Yang got this and gave Pei Ti a look, and said to his grandmother: "My father and my brother are disobedient, but I am different, all these years, I have been filial to you." Am I not the most obedient and obedient under your nose? ”
He coaxed his grandmother sweetly, pinching his shoulders and beating his legs, and after a while, Mrs. Pei asked Pei to bring it up.
If you don't teach a lesson like this, if it reaches the Hou family, what should others think of them Jingyuan Houfu?
Everyone is humane and waits for his godson, is it so good?
Miss Hou is also the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Jingyuan, so it is enough to teach the prince like this. The mother-in-law who accompanied the marriage didn't say anything more, and went back.
The three grandchildren were left in the room, and Pei Ti hung his head and was silent. The words naturally turned to Pei Yang, "If you don't want to be angry with me, you can get married as soon as possible." When your dad was your age, your brother would run away. ”
Pei Yang knew that he had to say this, and he didn't say anything, and said directly: "Then my brother is older than me now, and I haven't seen him have a child running all over the ground." ”
This is poking the old lady's heart, and Peiti's heart. Pei Ti, who had just hung his head and was silent, raised his eyes and glared at his younger brother.
Mrs. Pei took the conversation and said to Pei Ti, "Did you hear what your brother said?" You fathers and sons, do you have to run to the border and leave me to be happy? Horizontal and vertical, I'm sorry, your old Pei family isn't. ”
The old lady almost shed tears when she said it, Pei Tizi is not an unfilial son, where can she stand her grandmother's tears. hurriedly admitted his mistake and paid for it.
Then Pei Yang said: "Then you tell the Empress Dowager to let your brother come back to Beijing and take up a position in the military department, wouldn't it be good, let him give you a great-grandson." ”
"Shut up, you go. You both go. ”
The two brothers, who had been freed, walked out of their grandmother's room, and in the moonlight, the two brothers were of similar size, and they were the same mother, and their appearance was somewhat similar.
The eyebrows and eyes on the handsome face are distinct, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the lips are just right. It's just that Pei Yang is different from Pei Ti, the tail of his eyes is slightly upward, and there is an arrogant heroic spirit. And Pei Ti is more of a temperament as gentle as jade. But on the contrary, they fell one, and Pei Ti joined the martial arts. Pei Yang Congwen.
"Brother, you've been married for three years, and you still want to make trouble like this?" Pei Yang persuaded, and listened to his brother whisper: "Anyway, I don't go home often." ”
"What don't you like about her?" Pei Yang knew that his sister-in-law was not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable daughter-in-law, but the mother-in-law who married had more things to do than the master. But the protector is anxious, and understandable.
"If you have never seen a woman before you, you will not be willing to shoehorn it into you. Dad and mother were not like this back then. Having a child hurts the child. ”
The response was similar to what Pei Yang thought, "Then you are not hurting other girls now." The girl is quite innocent. ”
"I know, but what can I do? If I did, my grandmother wouldn't want to kick me out of the house. ”
Although Pei Yang did not agree with the marriage, he felt that his brother's reason for not liking others was too far-fetched, and his approach was inappropriate, and it was clearly to evade responsibility. It's all because of the shadow left by the parents.
He was young at the time and had no memory of his mother's death, but it was deeply etched in his brother's mind. It's just the mistakes of the previous generation, don't carry it over to this generation, maybe they still have a possibility.
"You can, try to see what is good in them. None of you have been in contact with each other, how do you know you don't like people? It's just that I think my grandmother shoehorned it into you, and when you think of your mother, you don't want to. ”
"Don't talk about me, what's the matter with you?" Pei Ti was reluctant to mention this.
"I have reliable information, don't ask me where I'm from. As long as you believe me, there may be a problem with military pay. It's a problem with the military department, but without the response of the people in the army, it's impossible, you go back and investigate. ”
After sending his father and brother away, Pei Yang found an excuse to go next door.
Zhong Yi looked at all kinds of things she loved to eat and things that dogs loved to eat, and felt that this person was not good, and there must be something.
But she waited for a long time, Pei Yang only asked her about the dog, and she didn't mean to get down to business.
"You're not here to talk to me about how to get a dog! What the hell is going on with you! Can you hurry up and say. ”
Pei Yang took a sip of tea, looked at the princess and asked, "It's just a little chat, why is the princess in such a hurry?" Is this going to be an eviction order? ”
"If you don't, I'll plug that dog hole, so you don't have to worry about my dog all the time!"
Pei Yang sneered, the princess always had a place to hold him, but he was not only worried about the dog......
"Princess, let's talk about the cooperation plan, and let's exchange the news in hand."
Zhong Yi thought about it, this person really knew about military pay, but he didn't know how much he knew.
She was disgusted at the mention of the man's name, so she didn't say it, just used the pronoun.
"I have a black account here, which records the bribes of the former military department squires large and small. It's just that this is not proper as evidence, and it is easy for people to bite back and say that the ledger is fake. ”
These things had been in Zhong Yi's mind several times, and she knew that if she wanted to solve this case in the end, she could only find Pei Yang. He is the most credible, reliable, and has the strength.
Pei Yang looked at Zhong Yi and clearly described the matter, nodded slightly, he was worried, the princess really went to check this matter first.
I'm afraid I've been targeted.
"There is also a bottle of poison, I asked Hu Jiashu to look at it, and he suspected that it was not the poison of the Central Plains. So I asked you to check the army to see if it was the army and the military department that joined forces, and maybe even related to the enemy country. After Zhong Yi finished speaking, he looked at Pei Yang.
It's just that after half a ring, she didn't expect that Pei Yang asked her, "So, the princess frequently recruits Imperial Doctor Hu into the mansion?" Didn't you move the mind of raising the face? ”
