Chapter 106: Cousin Pei Ze
Duanyang sudden riot, although it has been suppressed in time, the young general Shen who was present that day claimed that the rioters were all the remnants of the previous dynasty and His Majesty to compete for the crown prince, but the people of Qingzhou were always panicked and couldn't help but praise Shen Shaoqi's bravery, and there was still an hour before the curfew at night, and there were only patrolling officers and soldiers.
But General Shen, who was in the limelight in Duanyang, was not so happy.
"The account has not been thanked to him, and now that you are injured, you might as well postpone your family affairs for a few days." General Shen's eyes narrowed.
Shen Shaoqi's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he couldn't care about the wound that he hadn't bandaged yet, and said hurriedly: "No!" ”
He lowered his head steadily, covering his eyes with panic: "The auspicious day has been set, if you change it without permission, I am afraid that it will make the Hou Mansion unhappy, and now my mother's condition is really not good, and if it drags on, I am afraid that something will happen." ”
General Shen nodded: "Now that Xie Yu has fled Qingzhou in a hurry, what he is afraid of is that we are killing the killer, so we must hurry up and get on the ship of Ronghou Mansion." I didn't restrain you before, although you wandered into those unclean places, you still knew the severity, and the Shen Mansion bloodline had to be continued earlier. ”
Shen Shaoqi's face became more and more embarrassed, blue and white, and the warm temperament in his eyes became gloomy and terrifying, like a dark cloud covering the wind and rain.
He clenched one hand into a fist and placed it on his knee, and the green tendons on the back of his hand almost burst open, and he trembled uncontrollably.
How could he say that he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to kill Xie Yu that day, but he was restrained by Ying Shuying and the two of them, except for the sword wound in the back, he was afraid that he would never be able to!
It's inhumane!
It's a shame! Shen Shaoqi's eyes were instantly full of red, and he couldn't suppress his anger and shame, but the more he did this, the more calm he became in front of outsiders, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
However, he said that when Pei Ce rescued Rong Han and sent him back to Ronghou's Mansion that day, he left in a hurry after meeting Mrs. Rong, and waited until the next day to officially visit him.
Although Mrs. Rong despised the merchants, she also really admired Mrs. Pei's strategy back then, and she also admired Pei Ce who he trained single-handedly, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
"I remember that Brother Ting is four or five years old, what are the plans in the family, if your old lady is not good at speaking, the old woman will make the decision for you."
Pei Ce's eyebrows were clear, and his dark eyes were extremely well retracted, and he smiled and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the old lady, I have nothing to do and nothing to achieve, and now I have to prepare for the next autumn exam, and I don't dare to be greedy for children." If the autumn test is successful, I will remember the old lady's words and beg you, the old lady should not forget. ”
Old Madam Rong pointed at Pei Ce and said with a smile: "Don't dare to forget, don't dare to forget, I will definitely choose a lovely daughter-in-law for you." It is said that you should start a family first and then start a business, but after you start a family, you can't help but be distracted, and you think about it very well. ”
Pei Ce picked up a cup of tea on the tea table and stopped in front of him: "I came to Qingzhou this time to meet an old friend for my master to point out the autumn exam, and secondly, the two cousins will be a big gift in a few days, Cousin Lian will marry General Shen's mansion next month, my grandfather can't come when he's old, my father also went overseas, and the big and small matters in the house can't leave my mother, so I asked me to give a big gift for the two cousins." ”
Old Madam Rong's eyes flashed: "It's a great affection for you to come." "The speed of twisting the Buddha string in his hand is a little sluggish.
"You visit your old friend for your master, if you have any difficulties, you might as well tell me, it's always inconvenient to live outside, it's better to come to the Hou Mansion quietly."
Pei Ce swallowed the warm tea in his throat and shook his head: "The old lady doesn't have to worry about me, everything outside the mansion has been taken care of, and there are many ladies in the mansion, so it is not very convenient." ”
After a pause, Pei Ce put down the teacup and walked smoothly: "But my grandfather asked me to ask more, the rules of the Hou Mansion are big, I don't want to be orderly, Cousin Lian is about to get married, what are the plans for Cousin Feng's marriage?" ”
Touching Old Madam Rong's slightly sinking gaze, Pei Ce slowly got up and saluted: "Shiting has no intention of trespassing, but I really don't understand, my grandfather is also very concerned." ”
Mother Qin suddenly spoke: "What Uncle Pei said is extremely true, even if the blood relatives are thousands of miles away, they are also worried in their hearts, the marriage between the fifth girl and General Shen's mansion was personally decided by the Yuan descendant next to His Majesty, and the second girl's maternal ancestor Wang family is also a noble family. The lady is not in good health, so naturally everything falls on the old lady, and she carefully chooses it, and her eyes are all picked, but she also thinks that it is not suitable for the four girls, so it is delayed. ”
Pei Ce smiled, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes: "In this way, I have to go back and want my grandfather and his old man to explain, since Cousin Feng's family affairs are undecided, Shi Ting wants to ask the old lady for a favor." ”
Old Madam Rong smiled lightly: "You say? ”
"My aunt married into the Hou Mansion back then, and she was separated from her grandfather for decades, and the two cousins had only met once in infancy, so she begged the old lady to wait for her cousin to marry on time, and then take her cousin to Puzhou to meet her grandfather."
After Pei Ce's words, it was difficult for Mrs. Rong to tell him that he was going to send Rong Feng to the general election, which really hindered the face of the Ronghou Mansion, fortunately, not many people in the mansion knew, and no one would leak the news to Pei Ce for a while.
Old Madam Rong closed her eyes, as if she was a little sleepy: "You haven't seen your aunt yet, she is not as healthy as before, but fortunately, the Holy Hand of the palace Imperial Doctor Du has been recuperating for her for a long time, if she knew that you were coming, she would be extremely happy." As for what you said, you have to think about it in the long run, and everything must be discussed carefully. ”
After Mother Qin sent Pei Ce out of Shou'an Hall, she gently lifted the curtain and looked at Mrs. Rong crooked on the chair, her face was a little solemn, her heart moved slightly, and she listened to Mrs. Rong say:
"I really regret what I heard from Master Hou about sending the four girls into the palace. Brother Ting asked today, I am really ashamed of the Pei family. ”
Mother Qin lowered her head and said, "If the old lady regrets it, it is better to stop there." Even if the second girl marries her own maternal grandfather's family, the old lady is often worried, if the fourth girl really goes to the imperial city, we don't know what it is like inside, but we are still afraid. ”
Old Madam Rong twisted her fingers slightly, and raised them gently: "Even if I regret it, there is no turning back from the bow, Duanyang riots, and the Hou Ye is even more busy with this matter, and the four girls have to go if they go, and they have to go if they don't go." ”
It was unfortunate that Pei Ce was going, Pei's spirit had improved in the past two days, but he always had to sleep for some time after half an hour of lunch every day, so Mother Lin left Pei Ce to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard for a while, and when he was bored, Rong Feng came.
"I wasn't there that day, but I also listened to Pei Yu and her mother-in-law tell me what happened. It's a pity that you gave birth to a daughter, so you should go to the court to turn the clouds and rain on it. Pei Ce chuckled.
Rong Feng's expression was calm, and there were not too many waves on his face: "Cousin Ting said that I laughed, even if I was born a boy, I don't have this ambition, but I want to travel in the mountains and rivers and get out of this boxy world." However, those people also asked their cousin to take care of it. ”
Pei Ce smiled: "It's okay. If you want to enjoy the mountains and rivers and wait for the things here to end, I told the old lady to take you back to Puzhou to see your grandfather, and Jing'er's leather monkey can play with you. ”
Rong Feng's eyebrows moved, and he finally couldn't help but sneer: "I'm afraid I don't have that opportunity." ”
Pei Ce tilted his head strangely, and a trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.
Yun Xiao stood aside, and after he couldn't bear it anymore, he knelt on the ground and said: "Back to Uncle Pei, our girl is going to the general election in August, and she will leave the boxy cage of the Hou Mansion but will enter a bigger cage." The old lady didn't say it, I was afraid that the uncle would think too much. ”
As he spoke, he sneered softly.
Pei Ce's eyes became deeper and deeper, and his gentle expression became a little sharper: "It's strange that I asked about your marriage because Mother Qin came to deal with it." ”
Rong Feng said: "Mother Qin is also worried that you will make your grandmother angry. Cousin Ting, once the matter here is over, future disputes will be indispensable, and there will be no turning back after entering the imperial city. ”
As he spoke, he saw a skirt coming over, like a leisurely cloud falling into people's eyes, Pei Ce's eyes moved, but Rong Feng's expression was so calm that he couldn't see this person.
"Cousin." Rong Lian said to Pei Ce slightly, and then turned to look at Rong Feng: "Fourth sister is good." ”
Pei Ce smirked: "Cousin Lian is getting better and better-looking, compared to Feng'er, an ugly girl, no one believes that they are twin sisters." ”
The soft smile on Rong Lian's face stiffened for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally: "My cousin dislikes the fourth sister in his words, but he is the closest to her, compared to me." ”
Her eyes darkened, and she was a little distracted, if it weren't for a few people who knew it, she really thought it was her brother and sister.
Pei Ce smiled: "Cousin Lian's words are bad, and the connection between the blood and blood can be seen by just a few words." On that day, I sent the six girls in the house home, and I saw that Cousin Lian's face was not good, I don't know if she was sick, but she was cured. ”
Rong Feng suddenly remembered that Rong Lian was forced to drink the cold medicine, moved his fingers, and said indifferently: "Cousin Ting, don't worry, the fifth sister doesn't dare to cut corners when she drinks medicine now, do you say it's the fifth sister?" ”
Rong Lian couldn't bear it, and held the smile on his face stubbornly: "Naturally." ”
Rong Feng slowly got up and approached Rong Lian, straightened the embroidery on her placket, and looked at Rong Lian's eyes fixedly: "Fifth sister, good things are coming, and nothing can go wrong." ”
Rong Lian's heart jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously took a step back, bowed his head and smiled gloomily: "I can't make a mistake, and the fourth sister naturally can't get out, Duanyang rioted, and the fourth sister and the sixth sister came back unharmed." ”
Rong Feng smiled coldly: "That's because there are no villains on the side." ”
"Cousin Ting's mother should wake up now, I'll go to the small kitchen to see if the medicine is decoctioned, the fifth sister might as well accompany Cousin Ting."
