Chapter 186: Twins
When Xie Huai'an came to visit Pei's house, Pei Yin had just received a letter from Ah Yu, and the envelope had not even been opened.
He privately wanted to see the letter written by Ah Yu first, but the little guy who came to report said that Xie Huai'an seemed to be in a hurry to find him, and he had important matters to discuss, and reason overpowered emotion, so he finally chose to carefully collect the letter sent by Ah Yu first.
The subordinate led Xie Huai'an over, he wore a dark color short, still dressed as a martial artist, and he couldn't see how anxious he was, but he was a little reluctant.
After he entered the door, he immediately asked Pei Yin to send out all the people in the room, found a place opposite Pei Yin and sat down, and handed Pei Yin the things in his hand.
A thin envelope, on the cover is a familiar font that Pei Yin had just seen.
Xie Huai'an explained: "...... You should know that in recent years, the Wen family has never dealt with people in your family, but Ah Yu doesn't know this, and you saved her, so she gradually became familiar with you. It's just that Mrs. Wen and the others don't know the private relationship between you and Ah Yu, and they are all bent on making you have no more contact, and Ah Yu is unwilling to disobey her mother's words in person, so she will write to me to explain to you. ”
If you want him to say that Ah Yu didn't do anything wrong, why bother to follow up and explain.
No one had ever told her about the grievances between the Wen family and the Pei family before, but Pei Yin was different, although he was the same age as Ah Yu, he knew much more things than Ah Yu. He knew what the consequences would be after the letter he wrote was delivered to the Wen Mansion, but he still did it without concealment, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xie Huai'an evaluated the inappropriateness of what Pei Yin did in his heart, and he didn't have too much good looks on Pei Yin.
only said: "What Ah Yu wants to explain, it is all written in the letter, you can see it yourself, I won't go into too much detail on the side......"
Pei Yin was stunned for a moment, and silently took the letter in Xie Huai'an's hand.
In the letter, Mrs. Wen wrote down everything that Mrs. Wen said to her, and said that Mrs. Wen was reluctant to let them continue to communicate because of the past, but he had saved A's life in the past, and he was a brother and sister relationship with her, although there may be no more contact on the surface, but as long as he needs her help somewhat, she will definitely do it.
In fact, at the beginning of writing the letter, Ah Yu also thought about whether to deceive her superiors and subordinates to continue to communicate with Pei Yin, after all, she really wanted to see General Pei in person to determine whether her guess was correct.
But everything that has been done will always leave a trace.
Ah Yu was not sure that she could always hide it from Mrs. Wen and the others, rather than let Mrs. Wen and the others find out about her disobedience one day and make them sad, it was better for her not to do that from the beginning.
Her father and brother were the people she tried her best to protect, and even she couldn't hurt them.
After Pei Yin read the letter, he sneered.
"It's clearly a twin, but what cousins are talking about. Everyone says that the Wen family is gentle and humble, but I don't think that's it! ”
Xie Huai'an only felt that his face was full of question marks, and he couldn't figure out why Pei Yin suddenly talked about the twins.
In the previous dynasty, the family was still very taboo about twins, and later the people produced a pair of twins, overthrew the royal family of the previous dynasty, successfully changed the dynasty, and became the emperor himself, that is, the two founding emperors of the current dynasty. They were also the only two emperors in history.
Since then, twins have become no longer taboo.
There will be no more deliberate killings and keeping one.
However, in Kyoto, I haven't seen twins for hundreds of years, and I don't know why Pei Yin suddenly mentioned this?
Xie Huai'an felt strange: "What kind of twins, cousins, is this related to what Ah Yu wrote in the letter?" "He helped Ah Yin come forward to explain and sent a letter, but he didn't peek at what was written in Ah Yu's letter to Pei Yin." The grievances between the Pei family and the Wen family are not something that a little girl like Ah Yu can solve, she naturally wants to listen to her mother, you know that she didn't deliberately not associate with you, isn't it? ”
Manly man, there's no need to be so difficult for a little girl.
"What do you know!" Pei Yin stood up suddenly, the place where they were staying now was originally Pei Yin's study, I saw him go to the bookshelf next to him, pulled out a book from the bottom of the shelf, and handed the drawing paper sandwiched in the pages to Xie Huai'an, "Who do you see in this small portrait?" ”
Xie Huai'an's hand was suddenly stuffed with a portrait, and he paused for a long time without opening the portrait.
If his memory was not wrong, before he entered the door, he and Pei Yin could only be regarded as some familiar strangers, how could they suddenly reach the point where they could share secrets!
Although this portrait is hidden in a place that is not very obvious, looking at Pei Yin's appearance, he knows that this portrait should be very important to him.
Although Xie Huai'an didn't really want to see it, under Pei Yin's urging, he still opened the portrait in his hand, and then he was stunned.
"This ...... How do you hide the portrait of A-Yu? ”
Pei Yin was also looking at the person in the portrait at this time, with obvious longing in his eyes.
He said: "If you look closely, you should know that the person in the portrait is not Ah Yu, she is my mother......
Just these words of Pei Yin are enough to make people think about it.
Xie Huai'an's expression became very strange in an instant, what Pei Tianyi did back then did not cover up much, at least he heard about it in the family that was close to Pei Wen and the two families. Last year, when Xie Huai'an first became friends with Ah Yu, he overheard what his father and mother said, and what they were talking about at that time was Pei Tianyi.
At that time, he still thought that his father and mother were no different from people outside, they were all guys who liked to follow the crowd, and they could say things without the slightest evidence as if they were true.
Anyway, he had never seen who Jiang Shaoyin was, but he had seen Pei Tianyi who returned to the city with the guards, and it was precisely because of General Pei's heroic appearance that he wanted to be a general.
General Pei is the object of his great longing, how can he slander him like that!
Although he didn't say that, for a while after that, he had a little bit of a reverence for his father and mother.
Now it seems that those rumors are not groundless!
Thinking like this in his heart, Xie Huaian felt inexplicably aggrieved for Ah Shen, he didn't know whether Ah Shen knew these things, but according to his understanding of Ah Shen, the little girl definitely didn't want to be a stand-in for anyone, even if it was a character like General Pei who wanted her to be a stand-in.
Pei Yin's mind was all on the portrait, and he didn't even notice Xie Huai'an's distraction.
He said softly: "Everyone in the world knows that my mother was calculated and died after giving birth to a son with difficulty, but they don't know that in fact, my mother gave birth to two children......"
Xie Huai'an raised his head sharply and looked at Pei Yin beside him in disbelief.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Pei Yin raised the corners of his mouth, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, he said: "After my mother gave birth to us, I realized that my life would not be long, but my grandmother was still at the border at that time, she only knew that there was still danger around her, but she couldn't even find anyone she trusted." It happened that someone from the palace came at that time, and my mother entrusted me to someone in the palace. She said that I was a man and should take on the responsibility of the Pei family, but I handed over my daughter to my henchmen and sent her to another family. ”
"Young children are the most likely to die, not to mention that we are still premature babies, and our bodies are not as good as those born at term."
"Wait......" Xie Huai'an couldn't help but interrupt Pei Yin's words, he put the portrait aside and looked at Pei Yin seriously, "How can you be sure that Ah Yin is your sister, is it because she looks similar to your mother?" But there are more people who look similar in this world, and not all people who look similar are necessarily related by blood. ”
Moreover, he thought about how favored Ah Yu was in the Wen Mansion, that was a person who was really held in the palm of his hand and protected by pain, how could he not be related to the Wen Mansion!
I only heard Pei Yin say: "The henchman who took away my sister has a daughter, and she is now working as a maid by Ah Yu's side." If Ah Yu is not my sister, then who else will be? ”
He didn't say the name of the maid, but that look of faith made Xie Huai'an suspicious.
Could it be that Ah Yu is really Pei Yin's biological sister?
In this way, it seems that General Pei broke into the Wen Mansion and wanted to bring Ah Yu home, and it seems that it can be made clear.
General Pei didn't want to see his bones and blood flowing out, even if Ah Yu was well taken care of in the Wen family, he still wanted to take Ah Yu home!
Xie Huai'an thought about Pei Yin's words, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"No, if Ah Yu is not the child of the Wen family, then where did the child of Mrs. Wen go? You can't just send your child away just to raise Ah Yu, right? ”
Pei Yin shook his head and said, "I only found out that Ah Yu is my sister, and other things haven't been found out yet." ”
He actually had some doubts about whether Mrs. Wen was really pregnant back then, but the matter was too long, and it was not their own business, and there were not many subordinates around him who could be used, so it was still very difficult to investigate.
Xie Huai'an reluctantly accepted Pei Yin's answer, and asked him again: "You just talked about cousins, what's the matter?" ”
Pei Yin stared at Xie Huai'an quietly for a long time before saying: "Mrs. Wen and my mother are cousins, and she doesn't know the real relationship between us, she just thinks that we are ordinary cousins, at most, we can't communicate openly, we can only talk about friendship in private." ”
Xie Huai'an felt that he had learned too much secret news in one day today, which made people unable to digest it for a while.
Suddenly, he thought about it for a moment, looked at Pei Yin in a daze, and asked, "Such a secret thing, even Ah Yin himself doesn't know, but ...... Why did you tell me all of a sudden? And the two of them don't seem to have any friendship with each other, and even look like they're targeting each other.
Naturally, because Ah Yin believed in him, Pei Yin also believed in him.
Pei Yin thought about Ah Yu, who was in the Wen family, just because he was born a daughter, he could naturally enjoy the favor of everyone, but he had to struggle on the line of life and death every day, always worried about his life, sometimes he really felt very unfair!
A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he caught a glimpse of the person in the portrait, and the little girl's well-behaved and smiling appearance appeared in front of him again, and the thoughts in his heart also changed.
Such an innocent and deceitful guy, if he stayed in the Pei family, I am afraid that he would have died a long time ago and there would be no bones left, where could he still be as alive as he is now!
So, it's good to leave it as it is.
"Before I came to Kyoto, I also checked the people around Ah Yu, although I don't know how she got annoyed with Duan Yuzhi, but now you are her best friend, aren't you?" Pei Yin smiled gently, "I may not stay in Kyoto forever, and as you can see, the people of the Wen family will not be willing to let me get close to Ah Yu, so I naturally need a helper to help me take care of Ah Yu." ”
And the person he chose now is Xie Huai'an.
"You help me take care of Ah Yu, I naturally won't let your help go in vain."
At a similar time, Pei Yin also said the same thing to another person, but at that time, his feelings for his sister were only responsible, and there was no warmth to speak of. What he said and did could only be regarded as a cold transaction, and the content of the transaction was the safety of his sister.
When one party can't afford to pay the chips, the other party will no longer be in vain.
Therefore, some endings can be predicted from the beginning, but those who should have foreseen them did not see the final result.
Xie Huai'an clenched his fists, feeling as if he had been insulted.
He looked at Pei Yin and said a completely different answer from the other person: "I am friends with Ah Yan, and taking care of her is something I did voluntarily, and it has nothing to do with you, and I don't need you to pay anything for it." ”
"That said, it's not good. But I think Ah Shen should be very satisfied with her current life, and she will not want to leave her close family and readjust to another home. So it's all as it is, and what happened in the study today, I will definitely not say a word after I leave, as if I had never heard of it......"
As the saying goes, it is better to be kind than to be generous.
Since Ah Yu has never known the secret of her life experience, and she lives very well in the Wen family, some people love and some people spoil her, and the elders in the family love her very much, so why destroy her current life!
Pei Yin paused, and then said, "It's that I didn't make it clear just now, and I don't want to disturb Ah Yu's current life, but I'm just worried that someone will bully her when I'm not in Kyoto." That's why I hope to find someone to help......" He originally wanted to say that he would send some guards to Xie Huai'an, and he also wanted to say that those guards were all experienced in battles, but those words couldn't be said in the end.
Because Xie Huai'an said: "It's not that you haven't made it clear, but you may not have understood what I mean." ”
"I want to take care of Ah Shen just because she is Ah Yu, not because of anyone else. So, there's no need for you to continue arguing with me about anything, if you're still worried that Ah Yu will be bullied, you can also send some manpower to Ah Yu, after all, you are also cousins on the surface. ”
