CHAPTER XXVIII

After listening to Pei Shufan's words, Mrs. Xia was confused again and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Pei Shufan sighed and said: "Yi'er has become the target of public criticism now because there are too few concubines in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. If someone marries in and can give birth to a new son-in-law quickly, wouldn't it be able to distract some of those people from Yi'er? The more sons-in-law are born, the slimmer the hope of those people becomes, but they will settle down and no longer engage in three twists and four times. ”

"So, you hope to marry an older sister so that you can give birth to a sister-in-law soon?" Mrs. Xia frowned, not very agreeing with Pei Shufan's idea, "You also have to think about Yi'er, he is the eldest son-in-law, this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is his, why do you want to recruit more opponents for him?" If there are more sisters-in-law, the concubines will be safe, but what about the more sisters-in-law? You are so relieved that you have your son's sister, and you won't think crookedly for the title? ”

Today's Great Qi Dynasty stipulates that in addition to the hereditary lords and ancestral sacrificial fields, the descendants share the family property equally. The current turbulence in the inner courtyard of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion is just for the hereditary title of Marquis of Ningyuan.

Pei Shufan smiled confidently: "In the matter of Chengjue, I naturally have a follow-up move." I never wanted my son to inherit any title or do anything big. - Even if it is the first Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion, it is not what I want. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but think of what the old man Pei Lixing often sighed at home, saying that he had been shrewd all his life, but in the matter of supporting the abolished prince, his knowledge could not compare to that of his daughter Pei Shufan. She disagreed with the plan of her father Pei Lixing and Lao Ningyuan Hou Chu Bozan that day. I also once persuaded my father to help the abolished prince to restore the throne, but he should not ask for too much. Moreover, how easy is it to show grace to kings? Don't you know what it means to be a great favor and turn into an enemy? Especially for the monarch, the great favor of supporting the ascendant to the throne could not be repaid, and the courtiers had to break their bones to repay the monarch's kindness. It's just that Pei Lixing listened to half of his daughter's words, but the other half turned a deaf ear.

Later, Pei Shufan married into the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and she also disagreed with the plans of her father-in-law, mother-in-law and husband. It's just that the wood is already in the boat, and she has no choice but to do her best to plan for the preservation of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

"Child, it's all my father's mother's fault, my father's mother has hurt you......" Mrs. Xia's voice trembled.

Pei Shufan smiled, took Mrs. Xia's hand, and said, "I don't blame my father." As the saying goes, it is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. These things are actually not impossible. It's just that after Emperor Hongxuan ascended the throne, our Hou Ye should recognize the reality and not think about everything. wants the sister to be the queen and the nephew to be the prince. He also has to be famous, make meritorious contributions, and be a great minister. - You must know that when the moon is full, it will be lost, when the water is full, it will overflow, and it will be inevitable that it will flourish and decline. ”

Speaking of this, Pei Shufan had a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and said to Mrs. Xia: "Mother, do you know why there are so many demons and evil spirits in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion?" - It's because of a greedy word. From top to bottom, cut constantly, and cut endless greedy words. ”

"In my opinion, Master Hou is just an uncle of the country, don't insist on being a pillar of the country. Hou Ye's sister-in-law is the queen, and there are three princes, including the emperor's eldest son. If the saint is a fool, it is understandable for him to be a capable uncle, and he is for his sister and nephew. But the saint is not confused, but a person who has a heart and can bend and stretch. Hou Ye's father, Lao Ning Yuanhou, already had a great favor to the saint that could not be repaid, and he had to die. Hou Ye himself still wants to expose his shrewdness outside, doesn't it make the saint more and more jealous and force his sister and nephew to death? ”

"How many times have I said that let him be an uncivilized uncle of the country. Playing dramas, playing with women, fighting cocks and lackeys, and even making a domineering appearance, you can walk sideways in Beijing. As long as he has no skills and his reputation is stinky, his sister and nephew's position is secure. But he didn't, he wanted to compare his ability and ability with others, and he also thought about the 50,000 military households of their Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the Southwest Army, and he dreamed of going to Hengdao and being a leading general who made meritorious contributions. The more he wants to show his ability and ability, the deeper the thorn in the heart of the saint becomes, why is this so painful? Pei Shufan didn't say a word, she felt that Chu Huajin was tossing like this, and she was also tired of her son. In the future, Lao Tzu made a mistake, and the son, especially the eldest son, how could he escape the scourge of sitting together? !

Mrs. Xia listened to Pei Shufan's words, and answered with a smile: "So you brought so many women back for him?" And especially fanfare to go to the capital to cut poplar trees? And he didn't shy away at all from making a fortune outside under the sign of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion? Make the official want to impeach the uncle's mansion at every turn? ”

Pei Shufan also smiled, she didn't have the slightest monopoly on this husband. What she has been thinking about is just how to keep the entire Chu family, so that she can get out of the bloody storm that may occur in the future. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, she can't live long, and she can't protect this family for long.

Even his own sons and daughters may not be able to save themselves.

Thinking of this, Pei Shufan said softly: "If it's ......, I still want my mother to promise me one thing." ”

Mrs. Xia hurriedly said: "What's the matter, just say it." Don't say one, even if it's a hundred, a thousand, I promise you! ”

Pei Shufan smiled and said, "No need to be so much. My mother knows that I only care about my two children. Now it seems that the water in this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is too deep, and I don't worry about keeping them here. I also hope that my mother and father will think of a way to take Yi'er and Qianqian back to Yuezhou, and my father and mother will raise them personally. ”

"I disagree!" As soon as Pei Shufan's words fell, Ningyuan Hou Chuhua was dressed in a dark mink fur and wrapped in a cold wind.

Chu Hua went home, came to the upper room alone, and saw that there was only a little maid who had just left her head guarding the door outside the door, thinking that Pei Shufan was still resting, so he made a gesture to ask her not to make a noise, and walked in quietly by herself.

He came late, didn't hear Pei Shufan's previous words, only heard Pei Shufan say that he would send the two children back to her mother's home Yuezhou to be raised, Chu Huajin was angry for a while, and rushed in to refute Pei Shufan's words.

Mrs. Xia looked coldly at Ningyuan Hou Chu Huajin who rushed in, and didn't want to give him any face.

Chu Huajin saw Mrs. Xia's cold face, so he hurriedly saluted Mrs. Xia and said, "The son-in-law has seen his mother-in-law. ”

Mrs. Xia held back her anger, got up and stood aside, and said, "The affairs of the two of you will be discussed and handled by yourself first." I'll go take a look at the Child's House. After speaking, he walked out of Pei Shufan's bedroom without looking back.

Chu Hua hurriedly stepped aside, made way for Mrs. Xia, and let Mrs. Xia walk out.

Tong Ye was doing needlework in his room, and when he heard that Hou Ye was back, he hurriedly followed him to the upper room and saluted Chu Hua: "Hou Ye is back." As he spoke, he stepped forward and gently untied Chu Huajin's slur.

Chu Huajin stood motionless in the center of the room, letting Tong Ye help him untie the big foil, his expression was cold, and he looked at Pei Shufan who was leaning on the big pillow on the bed hoarding without blinking.

"Do you want to use a bowl of almond tea? β€”β€”The fresh tea noodles brought by our old lady from Yuezhou, which Mrs. likes to use the most on weekdays. Kiriha was busy playing a round for the two people who were tense.

Pei Shufan looked up at Chu Huajin's eyes, not afraid at all.

After listening to Tong Ye's words, Pei Shufan took the tea bowl on the small table at the head of the bed and looked at it, put it back, and said to Tong Ye lightly: "My mother sat here for a long time just now, and you didn't say that you came over to add tea, so she let her old man drink these residual tea and cold water on a cold day." - It seems that you are not from the Hou Mansion, so you don't care about it. I don't know, I thought you were the son of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, not the son of my Pei family! ”

Tong Ye's face turned pale when he heard this, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Pei Shufan and said, "Please forgive Madame." When the slave saw Tonglu waiting in the upper room, she thought it was all right, so she went back to her house to get some needlework in the upper room. If it's a slave or a maid, please punish the lady. ”
