Chapter 111: A Visit to the Imperial Prison (including a dazzling shadow...
"Auntie!" Pei Qianqian saw Shen personally come out to greet him, and hurriedly shouted. Pei Qianqian changed because he entered the Pei family tree. , no longer called Shen "eldest aunt" and renamed "eldest aunt".
The second prince carefully picked Pei Qianqian off the horse, helped her limp to Shen and stood still, and nodded to Shen: "Mrs. Shen." β
Shen hurriedly curtsied to the second prince, and asked in surprise: "Your Royal Highness the second prince...... "Look at the second prince, and then look at Pei Qianqian."
There is nothing wrong with the second prince and Pei Qianqian.
Pei Qianqian stretched out his hand and put it in Shen's hand.
The second prince was not at ease, he still put one hand on her waist, helped her, and said to Shen: "Mrs. Shen, it's me who is wrong today, and I am frizzy, startling the carriage of your mansion, so that Miss Pei suffers from the pond fish and breaks her foot." β
Shen Shi was startled, and took Pei Qianqian's hand to look up and down: "It didn't break, did it?" found that Pei Qianqian only had a loose bun on his head, and some places on his skirt were hung with threads, and asked, "Where is your maid?" β
Pei Qianqian shook Shen's hand with a smile, and said a little coquettishly: "Auntieββ, Qianqian is fine. Because he was in a hurry to enter the city, His Highness took the first step with humility. The car was pulled out and had to be repaired, and they were all behind. He stuck out his tongue, looking embarrassed.
Shen squeezed Pei Qianqian's hand and said angrily: "What's the matter when the car is pregnant?" It's good that people are okay. As he spoke, he saluted and thanked the second prince: "Thank you for your help." β
The second prince made a big red face, very embarrassed: "Mrs. Shen killed me......"
Pei Qianqian pursed his lips and smiled beside him, and said to the second prince: "Go back quickly." It's about to take over the lights. β
When the second prince saw that it was really not early in the world, he hurriedly saluted again, said goodbye to the Shen family, and said to Pei Qianqian: "Go back to the swollen place with medicinal wine at night." Find a mother-in-law with strong hands to rub it, and knead the blood away, so that it will be better quickly. β
Pei Qianqian perfunctorily drove the second prince away: "Got it." Got it. Let's go. β
The second prince was not at ease, turned over on the horse, and touched the mane on the horse's neck. said to Pei Qianqian: "Ming'er will come to see you again." He nodded to Shen again, and then turned his head with the reins. In the direction of the Imperial City.
Shen looked at Pei Qianqian's face carefully, but it was a glorious and generous manner, without the shame of a child, Shen put down the stone in his heart and helped Pei Qianqian to the mansion.
When they came to the Pei family's compound, the two mothers-in-law were waiting there with two sedan chairs.
Shen helped Pei Qianqian onto a sedan chair. I got on another sedan chair and went to the inner courtyard.
At dinner in the evening, the Pei family knew that Pei Qianqian went to Pei Shufan's grave today, and when he came back, he was hit by the second prince's horse and broke his foot, and they were very concerned.
After eating, Pei Qianyi went to Pei Qianqian's house with a bottle of medicinal wine and personally rubbed her injuries.
Pei Qianqian grinned at Pei Qianyi, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, I'm much better." Stop rubbing, okay? - I can't stand the smell of the medicinal wine. β
Pei Qianyi just stopped, wrapped Pei Qianqian's injuries one after another with fine gauze, and said to Pei Qianqian: "The eldest aunt has already sent someone to ask for a doctor." I'll come to the house tomorrow to show you the wounds. Don't untie the gauze at night and let the medicinal wine work inside. β
Pei Qianqian responded with a smile and ordered the maid to fetch water to let Pei Qianyi wash his hands.
The two cleaned up and sat on the kang to talk.
Pei Qianqian asked Pei Qianyi in a low voice: "Brother, ...... your relatives?"
Pei Qianyi is a man, so he doesn't care very much, and when he heard this, he just smiled and said, "My sister is worried that my brother won't be able to get married, so I delayed my sister, right?" β
Pei Qianqian took a sip of Pei Qianyi and said, "What did my brother say?" Sister, I'm just worried about my brother. β
Pei Qianyi comforted Pei Qianqian in a low voice: "My brother is a man, and he can do a lot of things. But sister, you have to be careful, you have to keep your eyes open and choose a good person, otherwise your mother will not be able to live in peace even if she is under Jiuquan. β
Pei Qianqian sighed, hugged a round pillow and leaned it to the place against the wall in the kang, and said with some confusion: "I want to talk to Yimu." It would be nice if we could live together! β
Pei Qianyi said with a smile: "If the boy is older, you can just marry him." β
Pei Qianqian took another sip of Pei Qianyi: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" - Even if the boy is old, he is also our brother of the same mother, how can he marry? "He Ningxin has a contract with the Pei brothers and sisters, and they are brothers and sisters of the same mother in name, even if they are not related by blood, they cannot be married.
Pei Qianyi was just joking, seeing that it was not early, he called Pei Qianqian's maid to come in to serve, and saw that Pei Qianqian's personal maid who had never left before was not around, and quietly told her that she had many hearts, but she was old and knew the personnel, and it was time to send her to match someone.
Pei Qianqian nodded and pushed Pei Qianyi out.
In the Pei family's outer study, Pei Lixing, the old man Pei, and his eldest son, Pei Shuren, the current first assistant, sat opposite each other.
"It seems that the Holy One is finally going to establish a reserve." Pei Lixing pulled the booklet in front of him, and said to Pei Shuren while reading it.
Pei Shuren took a cup of tea in his hand, nodded and said, "The eldest prince is expected by everyone, and the saint can see it clearly." β
Pei Lixing sighed, remembered Pei Qianqian, and asked Pei Shuren: "Why did she go to her mother's grave?" Did you suffer any grievances? His voice grew stern. If someone dares to be disrespectful to Pei Qianyi and Pei Qianqian, Pei Lixing will never be spared.
Pei Shuren put down the tea, took the black jade paperweight on the desk and grasped it in his hand, and said to Pei Lixing a little helplessly: "Humility is a little heavy. The little girl is older and has her own heart. He said to Pei Li: "I don't blame her." Her aunt has also been a little unhappy lately. β
"What's going on?" Pei Li hurriedly asked, it should be a big deal to make his eldest daughter-in-law unhappy.
Pei Shuren hesitated for a moment, then said, "...... It's a humble family affair, and I haven't been able to find a girl from a good family. β
Pei Lisheng knew that there was no girl from a good family who was willing to marry Pei Qianyi.
Although the matter of removing the clan was intentional on their part, it was still a bit of a blow to the two children.
"Now that they have entered the Pei family tree and their surname is Pei, it is not good to marry the Pei family." Pei Shuren said again.
In the past, they also planned to let Qianqian marry into the Pei family. Aunt and uncle, it's best to kiss and kiss.
Pei Lisheng pondered for a long time and said, "It's a matter of humility." There is no hurry. I thought about asking him to review his homework and have a big competition in two years. Let him go down and get a reputation. When the time comes, it's easy to say goodbye. It's just humility there, so that your daughter-in-law spends more time. β
In fact, Pei Qianqian's situation is worse than Pei Qianyi. Pei Qianyi's place, in fact, there are still a few noble mansions that are interested, but the Pei family doesn't look down on others. And Pei Qianqian, there is no one who comes to propose marriage. The Shen family fell in love with the sons of several scholarly families, but everyone talked about him left and right. There is no desire to see Pei Qianqian at all.
Pei Shuren remembered what Shen had said to him today, and said to Pei Li: "Dad, today I am humble and humble, all thanks to the second prince." Qingyun said that the second prince was very humble and blue-eyed...... "Qingyun is the name of the Shen family.
Pei Lisheng shook his head disappreciatively and said, "Your daughter-in-law thinks too much." The second prince is Qianqian's cousin, the two have known each other since childhood, and it is not strange that he cares more about Qianqian. Besides, it's his fault today. He sent Humility back, as he should. β
"If the second prince really wants to, what does Dad plan to do?" It's best if it's unintentional, if it's really intentional. Pei Shuren had a headache again.
Pei Lisheng paused, put down the booklet in his hand, looked at Pei Shuren and frowned: "If you really mean it, it's also troublesome." β
Now the eldest prince is a well-deserved candidate for the crown prince. However, the eldest princess is only the daughter of Hanlin, if the second prince wants to marry Pei Qianqian, he will marry the daughter of the first assistant Pei family, and everyone in the capital knows that Pei Qianqian is the daughter of the Marquis of Ningyuan, that is, the daughter of the second prince's uncle's family. Such an identity suppressed the eldest princess, and let the saint not be safe, and he would not be willing to let the second prince be implicated in the Pei family.
"The saint owed my sister a great favor back then, if the humble marriage still can't be decided after a few years, can we ask the saint for marriage?" Pei Shuren thought about it and thought that it would be better to let the saint come forward.
Pei Lisheng disagreed: "The marriage must be done by both parties willingly, so that it is better to marry two surnames." And the marriage, if both parties are either willing, or they are oppressive, it will be difficult for the two to be harmonious in the future. β
Pei Shuren thought about it and felt that he was worried too early, not to mention that there were still a few years to go, so he could pick it slowly, and when he heard this, he no longer put his mind on this, and said goodbye and left.
The second prince ran all the way back to the outer palace city, and hurriedly went to congratulate the eldest brother and sister-in-law.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, little brother wishes you a happy wedding and an early birth of a precious son!" The second prince smiled and saluted the eldest prince.
The eldest prince patted him with a smile and said, "You're coming back late." β
The eldest princess also came to greet her.
The second prince hurriedly returned the gift, and then gave the gift he had purchased.
The eldest princess ordered someone to accept it, sat there and gossiped a few words, and then pointed out the matter.
The second prince frowned at the eldest prince and said, "If you have such a good wife, what more can you ask for?!" β
The eldest prince smiled and asked the second prince, "Where is my uncle?" I'm coming back with you. β
The second prince smiled, nodded, and said, "Uncle brings a lot of people, and he walks slowly, and it may take a few days to reach the capital." I couldn't wait, I rode a fast horse to get here today. Thinking of hitting Pei Qianqian's car, the second prince was a little embarrassed and asked the eldest prince: "Big brother, I remember that you have a ointment here, it tastes pleasant, and the bruises are the best, can you give me two boxes?" β
The eldest prince immediately asked vigilantly, "Who did you hurt again?" β
The second prince shouted: "How can I hurt others?!" - It's a humble ......" said, telling the story of the day.
The eldest prince shook his head with a smile and said, "Come on, you injured the pearl in Taifu Pei's palm, and Taifu Pei wants to see that you are not pleasing to the eye." β
The second prince touched his nose, remembered Taifu Pei's ring ruler, shrank twice, and said with a smile: "Zuo just passed this level." It was just two beatings by Mrs. Pei. β
The eldest prince is in Kyori. I knew more about it, and said to the second prince: "Humility and humility, because of the removal of the clan, it is not easy." "It's a pity that they all opened the ancestral hall and moved the genealogy, not that they regretted it.
On the way, Pei Qianqian also mentioned some of these things to the second prince.
The second prince thought that his daughter's family had a lot of thoughts, and he didn't take it to heart. Now I heard the eldest prince say the same, and I hurriedly asked for clues.
The eldest prince told the brother and sister about the difficult marriage now.
The second prince remembered Pei Qianqian's unhappy appearance. There was even more strangeness in his heart, and he smiled at the eldest prince: "The Pei family doesn't know what kind of daughter-in-law and son-in-law to choose, I don't believe that I really can't choose." β
The eldest prince also nodded: "It's not that there is no one." It's that the people who come are not suitable, and the right people are unwilling. Especially in Qianqian, I heard that it is even more difficult to find ......"
Originally, Pei Taifu's standards were high. made Pei Qianqian even more uncaring.
The second prince absentmindedly finished talking to the eldest prince, and then said goodbye and left. took the ointment from the eldest prince and went to Pei's house overnight.
Pei Qianqian rested on the bed, and listened to the next person, the second prince personally sent the ointment, hurriedly dressed and got up, came to his main house, and saw the eldest aunt Shen sitting there with the second prince. Hurriedly came over to greet the salute, and said apologetically: "It's so late, and I bothered my aunt." β
Shen Shi hurriedly helped Pei Qianqian to get up, and said angrily: "You kid, how can you live more and more, you are not as good as when you were a child." β
Pei Qian smiled sheepishly: "...... When I was a child, I was not sensible. β
Shen sighed and patted Pei Qianqian's hand: "Speaking of which, you grew up beside me, whether you used to call me 'aunt' or now you call me 'aunt'." My heart hurts you just as much. β
After listening to Shen's words, Pei Qianqian's eyes turned a little red, and he hurriedly apologized to Shen: "It's Qianqian who said the wrong thing." β
"I just said you. The more you get divided. Shen said angrily.
The second prince watched from the side for a long time and coughed.
Shen Shi looked back at the second prince and said with a smile: "Your Highness bothered to find an ointment for Qianqian." β
The second prince walked over with a smile and handed over the two boxes of ointment in the white jade box: "This ointment is better than medicinal wine, you smell it." β
Pei Qianqian took a box of ointment, and his fingers inadvertently swiped over the palm of the second prince's hand, and the feeling in the bottom of the second prince's heart was even more strange.
Pei Qianqian opened the lid and smelled it, and a fragrance with a slight smell of mint leaves came to his nose, which was many times better than the pungent taste of medicinal wine.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Pei Qianqian was very happy. Her daughter's family loves beauty, and the place where the medicinal wine was rubbed on her feet, although it was tightly bandaged, Pei Qianqian was still worried that someone would smell it.
The second prince stuffed another box of ointment into Pei Qianqian's hand, turned around and arched his hand to the Shen family: "Disturb Mrs. Shen." - Farewell. After speaking, he turned around and strode away from Pei Qianqian's house and walked out.
Shen sighed in his heart, helped Pei Qianqian into the inner room to lie down with pity, and instructed Pei Qianqian's maid: "Ming'er remember to change the medicine for the girl, so that she can serve." β
The maids all responded, and they served Pei Qianqian carefully.
Ningyuan Hou Chuhua hurried slowly, and finally came to the capital.
Returning to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which was much more empty than before, Chu Huajin felt very uncomfortable. In less than a year of his work outside, one left the house and two were closed. Who the hell did they collide with?!
Hearing that Chu Huajin was back, Liu Menghan hurriedly ordered someone to come over and invite him to Cining Courtyard.
Chu Hua came to Cining Courtyard with a calm face and asked Liu Menghan: "What does Aunt Tai have to do?" β
Liu Menghan smiled and ordered someone to lead the prince out and give Chu Hua a respectful salute.
Seeing this child, Chu Huajin was even more unhappy in his heart, but he just looked at it in a hurry, waved his hand and asked people to take him down, and asked Liu Menghan, how did Zeng Ting die?
Liu Menghan said the matter intermittently, and said, "It's also because Zeng Ting is too domineering and doesn't leave a way for people to live, so that your two aunts join forces to deal with her." β
Chu Huajin didn't believe that Aunt Qi would be so vicious, and asked Liu Menghan: "What's the matter with the doctor?" β
Liu Menghan smiled and said, "That doctor is amazing. Both of your ladies are folded in his hands. As he spoke, he told the doctor about deliberately delaying Pei Shufan's condition.
Chu Huajin was taken aback. At the beginning, Aunt Qi helped recommend the doctor, and asked Chu Hua not to say that she helped invite her, saying that the lady had prejudices against her, and it was not good to delay the treatment. Chu Huajin listened to Aunt Qi's words, and pretended that it was a doctor recommended by his father, so he let Pei Shufan take two or three pairs of medicine. Later, Pei Shufan found out that this doctor was recommended by Aunt Qi's mother's family, and he was furious and quarreled with Chu Huajin.
At that time, Chu Huajin felt that Pei Shufan was jealous, and he just didn't like Aunt Qi.
It turned out that Aunt Qi was really unwilling, and she used the same method once, and if she was not discovered, she would use it again. Who wants to walk too much at night, and finally encounter a ghost.
"All these things, Tiqi knows?" Chu Hua asked Liu Menghan again. Speaking of which, murdering Pei Shufan is one more crime than murdering Zeng Ting.
Liu Menghan nodded. That doctor was deliberately given to Tiqi by Liu Menghan, how could Tiqi not know?!
"Why did Aunt Fen murder Zhongyu?" This is what Chu Huajin can't figure out the most. Chu Zhongyu didn't get in the way of Pei Shufen......
Liu Menghan smiled and shook his head: "Then you can only ask Aunt Fen." β
Chu Huajin stopped asking, stayed in the mansion temporarily, and while preparing for Zeng Ting's funeral, he gave the saint an excerpt to ask for guilt, and asked to go to the edict to see Aunt Qi and Pei Shufen in the prison.
The saint is now less vigilant about Chu Hua than before, and he will be able to see the excerpt.
Chu Hua looked for a free day, and went to the edict prison to see Aunt Qi and Pei Shufen.
Chu Huajin is no stranger to the edict. The last time he was locked up here, it was Mr. Shan who rescued him.
Walking on the path of the edict, Chu Hua had mixed feelings.
