Chapter 278: Old Grievances of the General's Mansion
Just when Shen Deshan and Shen Zeyuan were eagerly discussing Peng Jin, there were also people discussing Peng Jin in General Wei's Mansion in Xining.
It's just that the people who are discussing it in the General's Mansion are not "eager", but angry and accusatory. In the midst of this angry accusation, there was also the pleading and crying of the woman's family.
The accusations and lamentations were all directed at the leisurely Peng Jin in the house.
"Sir, you have to judge this matter. It was my uncle's 70th birthday, what an important occasion it was. Fuchu had already sent his uncle a nine-foot red coral as a congratulatory gift. But Jin'er, he ...... He actually gave a big turtle to his uncle in public, and sarcastically said that his uncle was this big turtle! In the end, he deliberately knocked over the wine glass and was disrespectful to his uncle...... When I heard these reports in the backyard, my heart was cold, and now the Great General's Mansion has no face! Jin'er is disrespectful and disrespectful to do this......" the woman cried.
"It's a giant turtle, I caught it from the East China Sea...... Not a big turtle! Don't make a mistake about it, Mother. Listening to the woman's words, Peng Jin retorted with a look of indignation, with a slight smile of disapproval on his face.
"Sir...... You see, you see...... Jin'er dared to contradict me like this in front of you. It's all because I don't have the ability to teach Jin'er well......" The woman didn't seem to expect Peng Jin to refute her words, her tone was stagnant at first, and then she complained.
Peng Mingyi, the general of Xining Wei, sat upright on a chair and listened to the words of his wife and only son, feeling deeply embarrassed and distressed.
He usually has a bad face, but he is resolute and resolute, but his face is very helpless at the moment, and he does not have the majesty of a general at all.
The discord between the wife and the son has been going on for a long time. Peng Mingyi didn't know how to mediate the conflict between these two people.
In the early years, Peng Mingyi focused on officialdom and the battlefield, ignoring miscellaneous matters in the house. I didn't expect this neglect to cause endless trouble.
Unconsciously, the grudge between the wife and the son is very deep, just like water and oil, which cannot be fused together. Just like now. For the sake of his son going to Li's house to give a birthday gift and making trouble, his wife is asking him to comment on it.
Judges? On the one hand, he is the wife who supports his success, and on the other hand, he is the only son who has hope for his future, how to evaluate this?
"Tell me, what is all this for? Why do you want to give Mr. Li such a birthday gift? No matter what, Old Man Li is also your mother's uncle, your elder. How can you be so disrespectful? Peng Mingyi rubbed his frowning brows and said to Peng Jin.
"Mother misunderstood Jin'er. Jin'er thinks that turtles live a long life, and they often live hundreds or thousands of years. It is in line with Jin'er's wish for her grandfather. But I didn't expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding. This birthday gift is not the right one. Jin'er knew she was wrong. Follow your mother's teachings and give you a better birthday gift next time. As for the wine glass, Jin'er really didn't know what was going on. ”
Listening to Peng Mingyi's words, Peng Jin explained innocently.
His round eyes shone with a pure and innocent light. admitting his mistake and explaining so sincerely made Peng Mingyi nod, but it made Li on the side angry enough: This little rabbit cub is pretending again!
It's like this every time, every time this little bunny throws her face, she will show this gesture, she's really seen enough! But now wasn't the time, and she couldn't do anything about him......
"Sir...... This matter is about to become a laughing stock in Queensland, this matter can't be easily ignored......" Seeing Peng Mingyi's face pale. As if he didn't intend to investigate Peng Jin's behavior, Li Shi was shocked and said in a hurry.
"Okay, Jin'er said he was wrong, he was not very old. It is understandable that the birthday gift was not well thought out. That's it for this time, I'll personally send an apology gift to my uncle another day, and you don't have to worry about it. You've been on the road for a long day, so let's go back to your room and rest early. I also have spy reports to read. Peng Mingyi raised his hand and stopped Li from continuing to speak.
If these things are seriously investigated, they will be endless, so it is better to settle with a thin mud.
If you are not blind or deaf, it is difficult to be a family. Isn't that the case with the head of a family? Some things are okay, and there is really no need to distinguish between right and wrong.
“…… Yes, sir. Then I'll retire first, and please rest as soon as possible, and take care of your body. Li Shi wanted to say something, but after seeing Peng Mingyi's impatient face, he quickly changed the topic.
She also knew that at this time, Peng Mingyi would not blame the little rabbit cub, so she retired according to Peng Mingyi's instructions, looking very obedient and well-behaved. Over the years, she has always left the impression of Peng Mingyi that she is dignified and skillful.
Before leaving, she glanced at Peng Jin, who was still smiling, and smiled slightly.
Don't worry, she still has time, one day, there will be too many eye pills, and the master will definitely not wait to see this little rabbit cub!
As long as the bellies of the other concubines in the mansion are angry, this general has one more man, see where that little rabbit cub can jump! - Li comforted himself like this, and then felt a little more comfortable.
After the Li family left, Peng Mingyi and Peng Jin, the father and son, were speechless for a while. The smile that had been hanging on Peng Jin's face was gone, replaced by an expressionless face.
He stood quietly in front of Peng Mingyi like this, not knowing whether it was a wordless accusation or a wordless accusation.
"Why are you doing this? lost your mother's face in public, and you yourself fell into a reputation of unfilial piety and disrespect, do you still dislike that your reputation as a gentleman is not good enough? I don't want this to happen a second time! In a few days, you will apologize to the Li family. ”
For a long time, Peng Mingyi said this, which should be the end of the birthday ceremony. He knew that his son was deliberately going to make trouble, but ...... But he didn't know what to say.
"To apologize, you apologize! What reputation I am and what does it matter? Anyway, I'm the only son of the general, and everyone will look at me a little, and I won't apologize! As soon as Peng Mingyi's words fell, Peng Jin immediately retorted, with a rebellious anger on his face.
That appearance is very similar to Peng Mingyi.
"You...... It's because you are my only son, and you will have to inherit the family business in the future! Even if you don't do it for yourself, but for the sake of your biological mother who died early, your behavior will be more restrained......" Peng Mingyi's brows furrowed.
If this wasn't his only son, he would have beaten him to death a long time ago, where would it be his turn to be so presumptuous?!
"You are not allowed to mention her! You're not qualified to mention her! For what reason she died young, we all know! Don't cat-cry mouse here. What kind of family business, that's your business, what does it have to do with me? I'm just a concubine. What qualifications are there to inherit this general's mansion and this Xiningwei! ”
Hearing Peng Mingyi mention his biological mother who died early, Peng Jin's face became very ugly, and his tone became extremely unpolite.
He looked at Peng Mingyi with a mocking gaze, which made Peng Mingyi feel embarrassed and guilty for a while, he raised his palm, as if he couldn't help but want to slap Peng Jin, but put it down dejectedly.
Finally, he said in a lonely tone: "She...... I'm sorry for her. Go down. You're going to self-destruct like this. I couldn't help it. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you for a few years......" he waved his hand. Let Peng Jin withdraw, looking gloomy.
Peng Jin looked at Peng Mingyi's lonely look, a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. He didn't even do the salute, so he left the room without looking back, leaving Peng Mingyi alone in the room.
In this world, there is a famous saying: No grudge can not be a couple, no hatred can not be a father and son. If you really want to describe it, Peng Mingyi and Peng Jin, the father and son, also agree with the phrase "no hatred can not become father and son".
The grievances between Peng Jin and the Li family, in the final analysis, are also for the phrase "no grievances are not a couple".
Peng Mingyi made his fortune by his wife Li and his family, the Li family. This is something that many people in Xining Road know.
When Peng Mingyi was still a little Guoyi Dulieutenant, Old Man Li fell in love with him at that time, thinking that he would become a great weapon in the future, and Old Man Li even married his favorite niece to him, which is equivalent to giving him full support!
The subsequent facts proved that Mr. Li was extraordinary. Peng Mingyi relied on his brave and good fighting skills to make many miraculous feats on the battlefield. There is also the Li family who uses money and connections to deal with it, and Peng Mingyi has risen all the way.
By now, he has become the chief officer of the first guard and has become one of the few great generals in the Daiei Dynasty.
The Li family has paid, and naturally there is a return. Peng Mingyi is grateful for the appreciation and cultivation of the Li family, and has respected his wife Li for many years, and has also taken care of the Li family, and the relationship between Peng Mingyi and the Li family has always been very harmonious.
However, things are not as good as they should be, and for the Peng family and the Li family, there is a regret that the Li family has only given birth to one daughter for many years, and there has been nothing since then.
The Li family failed to give birth to a boy for the Peng family, which means that there will be no one to accept the foundation that Peng Mingyi has worked hard to lay over the years, which means that the soldiers and horses and forces of Xiningwei will sooner or later fall into the hands of others.
This is unacceptable for Peng Mingyi and the Li family! So under the Zhang Luo of the Li family, Peng Mingyi accepted a distant cousin of the Li family, Luo, as a concubine, with the intention of following the Peng family.
Unexpectedly, Luo's belly was very competitive, and it didn't take long for him to give birth to a son for Peng Mingyi, and this son was Peng Jin.
Luo's gentle temperament is indisputable, which is very different from the dignified generosity of the Li family, and she gave birth to a son for Peng Mingyi, and her status in the Peng family is rising day by day.
Gradually, Peng Mingyi had a different feeling for Luo, and his love and attention to her also increased.
All this was seen by the Li family, which made the Li family jealous and hateful, and he wanted to put Luo to death immediately.
However, she is a scheming person, she treats all this as if she knows nothing, and on the surface she becomes more and more affectionate to Roche, and secretly quietly arranges the situation, vowing to put Roche to death!
Once when Peng Mingyi led the troops to clean the border, Luo was sick, and after many days of rectification by the doctor, there was no improvement until he died.
Peng Mingyi was naturally grief-stricken, and what made him even more sad was still to come.
At that time, the pregnant Li family worked tirelessly to take care of the sick Luo, and had to take care of the affairs of the house. The miscarriage is still a male fetus that has already been formed! Li, because of the lack of timely treatment, can no longer have children.
Then, as he grew up, Peng Jin thought that the reason why his biological mother died of illness was because of his mother-in-law Li's hands, because he had always resisted and resented Li.
Li's naturally complained in front of Peng Mingyi: At that time, she was pregnant and a male fetus, and in order to take care of Luo's, she even paid the price of a miscarriage, how could she put Luo's to death?
This was all many years ago, and the truth is no longer verifiable.
From a selfish point of view, Peng Mingyi didn't believe that his always dignified and generous wife would do such a thing, maybe she had a grudge in her heart, but she would never have the means and ruthlessness to kill her beloved concubine.
In this way, Peng Mingyi and Peng Jin, a father and son, have gone farther and farther away because of their differences on the Li issue, and over the years, they have become fire and water.
Peng Mingyi and Peng Jin haven't had a good conversation for many years, and every time, when it comes to the problem of Luo and Li, the father and son are unhappy.
