Chapter 100: Depth of Field (Part II)
Yun Zhao happily accepted, "You're really an interesting person." ”
Pei Xu smiled: "Of course. ”
"By the way, I want to know, why are you here so often?"
"Maybe it's because of nostalgia?"
Pei Xu once spent a long time here, and it was also the first time that he, a hillbilly, experienced the wealth and gentleness of the world.
"You've got a story to tell."
Pei Xu smiled slightly, "Do you want to hear it?" ”
"It's okay, it's just boring."
"I guess I came here sixteen years ago. Before that, I was just a kid playing in the mud in the village. ”
In her impression, Pei Xu has always been a son, or the kind of person who lingers in glory. I didn't expect him to bring it in the countryside before, and he was a wild boy playing with mud.
"Sixteen years ago?"
At that time, he was not yet born, and it turned out that he had already known his grandfather at that time.
"Yes, because my mother is an adoptive daughter-in-law, we stayed in the countryside until she went that year, and I was picked up by my father." Pei Xu is not complaining, but telling it with a storytelling attitude. "Although life in the village is poor, I don't feel bitter, but I am embarrassed by the village dolls."
Wan Zhao smirked, "You won't be bullied, right?" ”
"So to speak, somebody always pushes me into the gutter. I had no choice but to get up from the muddy ditch and go home in muddy clothes. ”
Yun Zhao frowned, "Sounds a little miserable." ”
"The first few times like this, I was blown by the wild wind and it froze to the bone, but then I got used to it. Maybe I'm trained to be rough and thick, so I can prevent this. He continued, "I have been in Yiyuan for about three or four years. At that time, my father was cornered several times because he encountered some trouble, so he entrusted me to the Duke of Jin. ”
"Well, wait, don't you have a brother? At that time he? ”
Pei Xu suddenly glared and said angrily: "He is studying in Taixue, so naturally he won't take care of me." Besides, our two brothers have always been fighting openly and secretly, and we don't like each other. He thinks I'm a bastard who only plays with mud, and I think he's a rotten boy who reads hard. ”
Yun Zhao didn't know what kind of person Pei Ji was, but she felt that the two brothers were too childish. So she just laughed.
"When I came to Yiyuan, it was no different from a hillbilly going into town. After all, I had never seen a decent incense burner, and I was a real poor child. Pei Xu wasn't lying, he almost made a joke because of this at the time. Looking back on it now, it's really embarrassing.
Yun Zhao has lived a prosperous life since he was a child, and even before his wedding, he has never been to places other than Chang'an and Luoyang. She can't understand the village customs in the poems, and can only rely on his words to imagine that kind of life.
"In the countryside, my mother forced me to study, and I only went to the school for a year and a half, and then because of the old trouble, I was expelled by the husband inside. Because of this alone, my dad rushed back from out of town and beat me half to death. Pei Xu sighed helplessly.
Yun Zhao said: "Pei Shangshu is so strict. ”
"That's natural, Quan Chang'an is known for his harshness. Especially to his son. When I was a child, I didn't know how many boards I had hit him. ”
Because he was beaten by Pei Yi directly, he was quite durable. Later, Lu Yao found someone to beat him on the street, and he just lay down for a month, of course, those are all later words.
"Pei Shangshu is so strict, he should be quite fierce."
Yun Zhao predicted that his life might be difficult in the future, and he didn't know how difficult it would be.
"My father's guy looks quite kind on weekdays, but in fact he is quite fierce, his face does not change when he is angry, and he doesn't know when he will be angry." Pei Xu said lightly.
"My God, it turns out that Pei Shangshu is so scary."
"Actually, it's not that scary, he's just strict with his son, but it's still pretty good to treat girls, he especially likes my little sister, but it's a pity that she didn't live past the age of three and died. He cried the hardest. Pei Xu said with a little sadness.
She thought of her brother and mother, her son who died young, and the children she had never met. "Actually, I had that experience, my mother was treated to death by a quack doctor, and she was still pregnant with her brother who was almost full-term. Originally, everything was fine, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be like bad luck. ”
"Forget it, I shouldn't have mentioned it. If you marry into my family, remember to flatter my mother. Her ears are the softest, and if she says a few good words, the matter is over. Pei Xu said.
Yun Zhao smiled: "Mrs. Jia treats you well." ”
"It's just that the scolding is too fierce, in fact, my eldest brother and I are usually the same. It's just that he had a stroke early, so I was forced to take over all the work at home. There are parents, there is the eldest brother's family in the middle, and you and the child in the future. It's hard to be a human being. ”
Yun Zhao listened to his complaints, and did not feel vulgar, but felt that he was very close to life. After getting married, I have to be busy at home and outside, and I don't know what it's like to live. Although I find it difficult, I will be willing to eat it.
"They're counting on you, because you seem more stable and reliable."
Pei Xu couldn't help but hold his forehead, "I'm afraid you dislike me for being old." ”
"It's a little older, and he even looks a little older than my brother. However, it is very neat and pleasant. And it's very family-oriented, which is what I appreciate the most. ”
"Gu family? You're afraid you think I'm a soft rice eater. ”
Pei Xu thought that she was treating him as a son-in-law, but he was a person with an excellent face, so he couldn't stand it and whispered.
"What nonsense. Be considerate, otherwise no matter how talented you are, it will be a cold broken stone. Of course, what people want is family affection, but it's not interesting to break a stone. ”
In his previous life, Zhao Rui was weak for three thousand years, and he only took one scoop to drink, and the rest of the people were grass mustard in his eyes. Even if he is marrying a wife, he doesn't care. By now, Yun Zhao is estimated to be a piece of paper and a book, and he will break off relations with him forever.
Pei Xu said: "Alas, I will be wrong." ”
"Although I have been staying in Yiyuan, I am not at home. Here I have no parents to teach me, no siblings, no friends to joke with me, only sheltered from the wind and rain. My grandmother and I depend on each other, but we can't feel the joy of family life. Maybe it's because the fate of fate is too shallow, and those relatives of mine are scattered. ”
Soon after the incident, he came to Yiyuan. It can be said that Yiyuan is her home, but this home is alienated to her. Her teachers in the past would always mention filial piety, saying that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait. It seems to be her. When she thought about her parents, she realized that they were long gone.
Yiyuan is a lonely place, not because it is remote, but because the people who live there are lonely. In fact, at the earliest time, her grandmother could not live with her because of her status, but only came to see her from time to time. Yun Zhao is a young girl, and she can't always follow her grandfather around, so most of the people who take her are Mother Jin and Grandma Xu. Kim was about her age, so she was even closer to her. It's a pity that after a long time, I saw people's hearts, and gradually, the girls around me began to point fingers behind her back because she was not the serious master of Yiyuan. Over time, resentment turns into hatred. After her grandfather's death, she and her grandmother were just grandchildren attached to it.
"Nine times out of ten, if life is unsatisfactory, who can have smooth sailing for a long time?"
Pei Xu's Zhongshu Sheren was not easy to get, and outsiders saw that the emperor was extraordinarily kind, but in fact, it was earned by him with countless efforts. He has always thought that it is the supreme glory for a man to earn his own dignity.
"Well, yes. Actually, sometimes, I feel like a passerby. Stay here for a while, and soon you'll be gone. ”
She has been in Yiyuan for about 11 years, and now she can recall that it was only a short time, and her fingernails flicked off.
Pei Xu smiled: "Then are you living comfortably, or are you wronged, don't have any taste in the end." I really didn't understand it. ”
"I'm only a few years old, and if I want to live and understand, I must at least quadruple it. Besides, there is no comfort and grievance, just live together. ”
After going through the rights and wrongs of her previous life, she felt that it would be good to be alive. Living is nothing more than to live a better life, so I live diligently.
"Oh, that's not right. You have to live happily. No matter what, in the future, you are not allowed to lock your eyebrows like you are now, and you will be depressed every day. ”
Yun Zhao didn't even notice that he was always frowning, "Got it." ”
"And your temper, petty temperament, is spoiled. If my mother saw that you were squeamish, she would definitely be nagging. So I advise you to change it quickly. ”
"How can I be squeamish?"
"Pout." Pei Xu pinched her nose.
Yun Zhao smiled shyly, "I'm afraid I can't change this, and the habits I have developed over the years are not much better." ”
Just when she was full of confusion, Pei Xu said, "I'll fool you." In fact, my mother likes the delicate and weak ladies the most. ”
"Delicate and weak? ”
Pei Xu only smiled, "When you get married, you won't know what the atmosphere in my family is." ”
"Why do I feel a little scared, after all, I think Mrs. Jia is stricter, and I am afraid that I will lose my manners in the future."
When he served the queen in his previous life, he knew that the rules for a daughter-in-law to serve her mother-in-law should be said for a few days and nights. She looked back at the queen nervously, knelt for an hour to listen to her empty words, and when she returned, her knees were red. Later, she specially learned etiquette for several months, and she was still harshly reprimanded.
It is said that this Mrs. Jia is a serious person, if she is as picky as Queen Wang, wouldn't she have a headache every day.
Yun Zhao urged him, "You tell me first, let me have a little bottom." ”
"My mother,"
How did Pei Xu know how his mother would treat her daughter-in-law. When his sister-in-law entered the door, it seemed that he was still a monkey in the mud ditch, where would he deliberately remember those things. His eldest sister-in-law is a small jasper, gentle and lovely, and kind to people. In her memory, she got along with her mother, and she didn't seem to have a quarrel.
But Yun Zhao is a princess of the government, a daughter, and has never been exposed to wind and rain since she was a child. He wasn't sure she wouldn't have sex in the future.
"Say it quickly."
"My mother, sometimes strict, sometimes loving." Because he was not sure, Pei Xu deliberately got into a fog.
Yun Zhao pierced with a word, "You don't know if you dare to love." ”
Pei Xu smiled and said, "You can see it." ”
"But why did you suddenly talk about this, don't you think it's a little weird?"
Yun Zhao felt that there was nothing to talk about with a big man like him, and if he said that, he would say this, and that would be for the future.
"Say it early, think it early. You don't really want to walk in without knowing anything. ”
Yun Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, "That's right. ”
"I'll teach you something practical. In my family, I subdued Pei Ji, and I will ensure that you don't have to worry about anything in the future. ”
Pei Xu can't deal with Pei Ji by himself, but he can rely on Yun Zhao. If Pei Ji is pacified, he will have a good life.
"Huh? It's a little strange, why ......"
Using "subjugation" against his brother, is there a deep hatred between them?
Pei Xu sighed and said, "Alas, he is a person who usually likes to inquire about all kinds of gossip the most. And he always went to his father and mother to complain. The point is that my father and mother only listen to him and don't listen to me, probably always as a child who didn't grow up. ”
Wan Zhao smiled: "I don't know how naughty you used to be." ”
"How many years ago was that, and then I was forced to recite the scriptures every day, from morning to night, until I was admitted to the Jinshi."
"Both of you brothers are Jinshi, which is a rare talent in this dynasty."
"Don't mention it, I'd rather be wasted than suffer the sin of studying again." Pei Xu complained.
Yun Zhao smiled: "You say so, but you still want to be motivated in your heart." ”
"Being motivated is also for the sake of making this family better."
"If you have a child in the future, I'm afraid you will be as strict as your father. Parents love their children, and they will plan for the long run. ”
Pei Ji put the incense pill into the stove, "It's a little harder." But in my opinion, it's time to put an end to the farce. Now someone has sent a guard to ask for his life, and it's just right, and no one will be involved. Besides, the Guo family is the mother family of the Empress Dowager Guo, and if you really want to come to the Guo family, I am afraid that the saint's face will not look good. But the case is so big, Li Shunde's death must be investigated. ”
"There are also Dali Temple and Hubu, and there are many offenders in these two places. You can't do it all in one size. ”
"Of course not."
Pei Ji's meaning is very simple, there is nothing else except watching the fire from the other side. "But right now, there's one more thing I'm more concerned about."
Pei Xu didn't have the time to take care of him, and when he was done, he could participate.
It's a bit playful, it's still cynical, but it's worth pondering.
"Now I can't help myself, and I still need to help others."
Xiao Bo hit the thorn of the scholar at both ends on Wednesday, and even Cheng Guangyun secretly ridiculed him as a person. He is not familiar with the affairs of Zhongshu Province, and the work of the officials is all in the style of the previous subordinate province. If Pei Xu hadn't had a deep relationship with the prince, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to his unreasonable requests.
Pei Ji smiled, "You, you might as well beg me." ”
