Chapter 313: Meet Pei Niang
Outside the gate of Gongzi's mansion, Uncle Zhong waited at the door with a group of servants, looking at the avenue in front of the door, and after a while, a young man in Tsing Yi ran on the avenue, sweating profusely and stopped in front of Uncle Zhong.
"Steward, the king, the king's chariot has arrived at the inner city gate, and there is a pillar of incense to arrive!"
"Really?" Uncle Zhong's eyes lit up, his eyes were slightly moist, and he turned around and instructed everyone behind him. "Cheer up and greet the king!"
"Yes!" everyone responded, straightened their clothes, and stood in two rows.
After scanning the crowd, Uncle Zhong's eyes stayed on Pei Niang who was standing behind the servants, and seeing her looking at the avenue, Uncle Zhong stepped forward and said to Pei Niang. "Pei Niang, you go to the front to greet you, the king specially sent you here to greet the county lord. ”
"Pei Niang is physically disabled and can't drive, thank you for your kindness, Pei Niang is still waiting here. Pei Niang said, bent down slightly, and looked at Uncle Zhong with a low sigh.
"You're sensible, so be it. Uncle Zhong said, walked back to the head of the line, looked at the end of the avenue, and stood straight.
Pei Niang folded her hands in front of her abdomen, slowly raised her head, the breeze blew through her delicate cheeks, straight to the hair slightly messy, sweeping her quiet and waveless eyes.
Everyone watched quietly, and after a long while, a string of cyan car shadows finally appeared at the end of the avenue, and as the car shadow gradually approached, the tears in Uncle Zhong's eyes also reflected a crystal light in the clear sun.
The convoy slowly walked to the front of the house, everyone knelt down together, and the little boy who carried the footstool hurriedly stepped forward, put up the footstool painted with gold and heavy paint, and knelt on the ground to support the stool very respectfully.
Flicked right and jumped off the horse and opened the curtain, Gongzi Cheng bent over and walked out first, and when he saw Uncle Zhong kneeling on the ground, his eyes were warm, he stepped on the footstool and got out of the car, and strode towards Uncle Zhong who was kneeling in front.
"Old slave Lian Zhong, welcome to the king!"
Although Uncle Zhong's voice was loud, it was with a trill, and his gray hair and gray clothes on his body were intertwined, looking much older than when Ye Ziyi first saw him.
"Flat. Gongzi Cheng stepped forward to help Uncle Zhong and nodded slightly at him, Uncle Zhong looked at Gongzi Cheng who was dressed in dark clothes, and two lines of old tears slid down instantly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has returned safely, fortunately!" Uncle Zhong wiped his tears and looked at the car, very relieved. "The king is finally married, old slave...... The old slave can finally comfort the princess's spirit in the sky. ”
"Yes, Uncle Lao is worried about these days. Gongzi Cheng patted Uncle Zhong's arm, looked back at the cloth curtain that the carriage had lifted slightly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and turned his head to Uncle Zhong. The bride was in the car, and my uncle allowed me to take her down and meet him. ”
"W-How can this be done?" Uncle Zhong was stunned, and was about to stop Gongzicheng, but saw that he had already walked to the carriage with a smile on his face.
Stretching out his hand to the gap in the car curtain, Gongzicheng opened the curtain of the car door, looked at it and smiled slightly, until a long while, Ye Ziyi's transparent little hand was on his big hand, her slightly red little face poked out, and secretly glanced at the servants standing full of servants outside, and looked at Gongzicheng with a shy eyes.
Bowed his head and bent out of the carriage, Ye Ziyi and Gongzi glanced at each other, bent their eyes and smiled, raised their necks to find Peiniang's figure, Gongzi Cheng looked at her with a smile, and hugged her with his long arms and put her firmly on the ground.
Ye Ziyi was hugged by him like this, her face immediately turned crimson, she glanced at Gongzicheng, and when she saw Uncle Zhong staring at her on the side, she quickly got out of Gongzicheng's embrace, straightened her clothes and stood up.
"Your Majesty, this ......" Uncle Zhong's eyes were full of surprise, he looked at Ye Ziyi with a decent smile on his face, and opened his mouth straight, unable to speak for a long time.
"Madame......"
With this hesitant call, Pei Niang, who was standing behind, covered her mouth with trembling lips, she slowly moved her steps and walked straight towards Ye Ziyi.
Pei Niang walked very slowly, she was lame, her movements were slow and a little clumsy, Ye Ziyi's nose was sore, she hurriedly bent over Uncle Zhong, and trotted to meet Pei Niang.
"Madame, you, you're still alive. Pei Niang's eyes were full of tears, and she saw that Ye Ziyi couldn't hold back and didn't cry, but after a while, she lowered her head and bowed to the ground. "Slave, I've seen Madame!"
"Hurry up, hurry up. Ye Ziyi hurriedly picked up Pei Niang, looked at her slightly old face and said. "Pei Niang, are you okay?"
"The slave is fine, thank you Madame for your concern. Pei Niang secretly wiped away her tears and said in a dumb voice. "Slave, slave is good. ”
"That's fine, you wait. Ye Ziyi nodded happily with tears in her eyes, turned back to Uncle Zhong, and bowed slightly. "If you have an opinion Uncle Zhong. ”
"Leaf ...... Madame was polite, and the old slave did not dare to accept it. Uncle Zhong took a step back and avoided it, looking at Ye Ziyi with great relief. "The county lord has worked hard all the way, hot soup and wine are prepared in the house, and the king and the county lord go in to rest. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong. Ye Ziyi bent her eyes and smiled, two tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, this time she could see two old people at once, which really made her feel indescribable joy.
Uncle Zhong smiled and arched his hand and said to Ye Ziyi. "Madame, he is the queen of the day, and it is a blessing for me. ”
"Uncle has won the prize. Ye Ziyi wiped her tears and looked at Gongzicheng on the side, but she didn't want to, her eyes were falling into his deep black eyes.
"Okay, your lord, lord of the county, please come in. Uncle Zhong took a deep breath, stretched out his arm and made a gesture of please, leading the way first.
Ye Ziyi hooked Gongzicheng's arm, turned around and pulled Pei Niang, and walked slowly towards the gate of the old Gongzi's mansion.
Ah Fu and Yongyi also got out of the car after them, and when they saw Pei Niang walking with Ye Ziyi, Yong Yi ran to Pei Niang's side, took her hand and waved at Ami who was following behind.
Ami was also happy when she saw Pei Niang, and walked side by side with Ah Fu behind Gongzi Cheng and Ye Ziyi, and the group entered the mansion in a mighty way.
As soon as she entered the Gongzi's mansion, Ye Ziyi didn't care about changing her clothes, so she pulled Pei Niang to talk to Ami, and the three women gathered in a small room in the main courtyard, chatting hotly.
Ami's wedding dress was found in Zhuo Lao's shop, Ye Ziyi specially asked the embroidery girl to change the size, and while Ami went to try the wedding dress, Ye Ziyi and Pei Niang talked about her injured leg.
The two sat on the couch, caressing Pei Niang's half-bent legs, and Ye Ziyi said distressedly. "How did you get this? Why did you lame?"
"Two years ago in the giant vortex city, the king was ambushed, during the siege, a group of Liang troops came up from behind, was around to the back of the Chinese army tent, I and Ami were in the small tent looking at the eldest son, Ami resisted the attack of those Liang troops, I held the eldest son, accidentally hit a knife, was cut on the foot, fortunately did not break the bones, but the tendons can no longer be connected, so that's it. ”
Pei Niang said very plainly, but Ye Ziyi was terrified when she heard it, she was attacked by the enemy, if it weren't for Ami and Pei Niang, she would have lost her life in the morning.
"Ami never told me any of this. Eternal memory is so small, it really bothers you. Ye Ziyi sighed lightly and said to Pei Niang. "Pei Niang, now that Ami has a home, you should find a lover to live as soon as possible, and I will feel at ease if someone takes care of you. ”
"Madam, I'm fine, now I'm waiting for my eldest son in the palace, and I'm very relieved every day, and Pei Niang has nothing to ask for. Pei Niang said, stroking the leg and hooking the corners of her lips. "The way I am now, it's better not to cause trouble to others. ”
Hearing the decadence in Pei Niang's words, Ye Ziyi didn't know how to persuade her, so she sighed softly and said gently. "How can a good woman like you cause trouble to people? They are happy to have such a loyal and gentle person by their side, Pei Niang, you are a good girl, and you deserve to be treated well. ”
Pei Niang was silent for a while, and said to Ye Ziyi. "If Mrs. feels that she owes Pei Niang, let Pei Niang go free, I just want to have a piece of land to die peacefully, just fine. ”
"Pei Niang......" Ye Ziyi's throat was blocked, and she couldn't speak for a while.
She didn't understand why Pei Niang made such a request, what happened? Why did she seem to have changed a lot when she saw Pei Niang this time? Compared with five years ago, she was even more invigorated, and such a change really puzzled her.
"Mother, Aunt Pei!" Yongyi squeezed in through the crack in the door, stepped forward and hugged Pei Niang's arm very affectionately, and swam into Ye Ziyi's arms like a fish.
"Why don't you play outside with your eldest brother, what are you doing here?" Ye Ziyi hugged Yongyi and sat on his lap, hugged his small soft body, and kissed him on the forehead.
"Father has been waiting for dinner with his mother, mother, how long will it take you to go? Yongyi's big wet eyes looked at Ye Ziyi, that cute appearance was more cute than a little milk cat.
Ye Ziyi remembered the tip of her nose a little, smiled and said gently. "Okay, when your aunt tries on the new clothes, let's go, okay?"
"Hmm!" Yongyi nodded vigorously, holding Ye Ziyi for a long time, Ye Ziyi arched back and forth in his arms, and from time to time he seized the opportunity to pinch his little face.
"Madam, I'm going to see Ami. Pei Niang said, stood up and bowed to Ye Ziyi, and limped towards the small room where Ami was measuring clothes.
Ye Ziyi watched Pei Niang leave, and suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, until her figure disappeared at the door of the small room, and Ami's crisp laughter sounded inside, she let go of her mind and stroked the soft hair of Yongyi, who was looking at her with big eyes.
"Mother. Yongyi lay in the crook of Ye Ziyi's arm and whispered to her, he glanced at the door of the small room, and hooked his finger at her mysteriously.
Ye Ziyi looked at her son's troubled appearance, and couldn't help but pat his little ass and laugh. "What are you doing, what are you talking about!"
"Mother...... " Yongyi pouted, sat up, hugged Ye Ziyi's neck and whispered in her ear. "Mother, Aunt Pei is fine, she just likes her father, only I know this secret. ”
Ye Ziyi froze, she widened her eyes and looked sideways at Yongyi's smiling little face, and then turned her head to look at the door of the small room, her eyes full of shock.
Pei Niang she ...... How is this possible?
