137 Daddy is in great trouble
Pei Ding sat there and sighed complicatedly: "There will be no mistake in the news...... However, it is not surprising that in the end, it is the master of the festival who has experienced a hundred battles, how can he die so easily? ”
"How can I listen to the meaning of your words, is it a little disappointed?" One of the clansmen frowned and looked at Pei Ding.
"There is absolutely no such thing, the fourth brother has wronged me!" Pei Ding hurriedly shouted injustice to his brother.
"You really can't read your mind? Three years ago, when you first came to Yingzhou to take office, Shuang'er fell into the hands of mountain bandits, and it happened to be rescued by Dingbei Hou's subordinates...... Because of this, you have never been able to put yourself in the right position in your heart! In the past three years, you seem to be in harmony on the surface, but in fact, you are acting perfunctorily and perfunctorily, and you have not added half of the help to the clan! If you want me to say, my brother shouldn't have chosen you to come to Yingzhou back then! ”
"This ...... Perfunctory? Where does this begin? Pei Ding said with a face full of wrongs: "I know that I can't do things well, but I also try my best, but I can't catch it......"
"Weak? I don't think so, right? The fourth master of the Pei family, who was called the fourth brother by Pei Ding, sneered and said: "Along the way, I have heard a lot about your Pei Thorn History's deeds, what kind of cheap righteous case, what kind of widow case...... Setting precedents everywhere, it is already out of the limelight and famous! ”
The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he gritted his teeth slightly: "You came to the Northland together, are you here to join hands with the Marquis of Nading Bei to build a stable Yingzhou?!" ”
Sooner or later, these things will reach Lord Jiang's ears, and Lord Jiang will be afraid that he will ask in confusion when he hears it-what is this thing doing?
"......" Pei Ding showed a bitter smile on his face: "Fourth brother, I can explain this matter...... It is really forced by the situation and has to be done. ”
"Alright, you'll talk about this later!" The fourth master Pei, who was pacing back and forth, was already anxious: "Let's think about how to explain to Master Jiang first!" ”
Pei Qi, who was sitting a little younger opposite Pei Ding, sighed: "I thought that if something happened to Dingbeihou, it would be better to make a difference, and finally be able to give Master Jiang an explanation, but now that Dingbeihou has returned to his house in a dignified manner, the female envoy of the Jiang family is gone......
"There is no need to think about it anymore, that female envoy must have been taken away by the people around Dingbei Hou!" The fourth master of the Pei family couldn't help but glare at Pei Ding as he spoke: "That night, you first came up with a painless beauty plan, and then lost the person sent by the Jiang family...... It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose! If that envoy reveals her identity and reveals Lord Jiang, how can you and I deal with it! ”
Pei Ding stubbornly said: "Now that it's over, it doesn't matter if she recruits or not...... Lord Jiang's hostility towards Beihou is now known to everyone, just like the lice on a bald man's head, it has long been clear at a glance......"
"You ......" Master Pei Si was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke: "Since you are so good at reasoning, why don't you go back to Beijing and fight with him in front of Lord Jiang in person?" Let's see if he can listen to it, but praise you for your clear thinking! ”
"Fourth brother is angry...... Pei Ding said uneasily while smiling: "I just feel that instead of worrying about whether Master Jiang is exposed or not, I should worry more about ourselves at the moment...... In the end, my family is in Yingzhou, and my life is all in the hands of Dingbei Hou, if he already knows that we are doing things for Lord Jiang, I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe! ”
"Do things for Lord Jiang? You've done a! Master Pei Si, who was born in a big family, couldn't help but scold: "You can ask for more blessings!" At this point, the clan is already too busy to take care of itself, Lord Jiang will definitely attack his brother, and no one will be able to get good at that time! ”
The elder brother in their mouth is Pei Xuan, the head of the Pei family.
"So far, I can only tell the truth...... Delay must not be concealed, and since the female envoy has fallen into the hands of the Marquis of Dingbei, the relationship between the Pei family and the Jiang family has been exposed, so it is not appropriate for us to act on our own initiatives, and what to do next, we need to ask Master Jiang before we can do it. Master Pei Qi said helplessly: "Go to the letter as soon as possible to inform everything, and the correct solution is the right one." ”
"To the letter? Who will write it? How to write! "Master Pei Si spread his hands.
"Fourth brother, just leave the letter writing to me!" Pei Ding said with the mentality of atoning for his sins: "How to write this letter is indeed quite particular...... In addition to explaining the truth, we also have to say something else to buffer one or two, such as the strangeness in the riverside building last night, and then ...... The painter of the Ji family who came from Jingshi has a close relationship with Mrs. Xiao...... And so on, although it seems to be a trivial matter, but Master Jiang has a keen insight, and he may not be able to analyze useful clues from it! ”
Master Pei Si said "heh": "How to make up the number of words in the letter, you are naturally the most experienced!" ”
Even though he didn't do anything, and even messed up everything, he still had to pull out a bunch of inconsequential, giving people the illusion that he had been working hard - this kind of letter, he has seen too much over the years, and he has quite a lot of experience!
"If you can put that mind on business, you won't be without anything for three whole years!"
Pei Ding couldn't help but complain: "It's true that I don't have enough ability, but I can't be blamed for the reason why I didn't get anything...... The Marquis of Dingbei acted cautiously, was extremely vigilant, and had great military achievements and loved the people like a son...... It's really hard to figure out what the handle is wrong! ”
Hearing that he was not only complaining, but also justifying the name of Dingbei Hou, Pei Si said solemnly: "Okay, how Dingbei Hou behaves has nothing to do with you and me, and do your part!" ”
Speaking of this, Master Pei Qi lowered his voice and asked Pei Ding: "Fifth brother, there is no one else here, you can tell the truth, three full years have passed, and the treasure map is ...... You really don't have any clues? ”
"It's true! I dare to swear to heaven that I really have nothing to hide! Such a big thing, if it is really discovered, it is to borrow my ten guts, and I dare not hide it alone......" Pei Ding sighed: "All kinds of rumors about this so-called treasure map...... In my opinion, it may not be true. ”
Master Pei Si's eyes were cold: "Lord Jiang hopes it is true, then it is true-"
Pei Ding wanted to speak for a moment, and nodded in the end.
"Alright, let's write a letter." Master Pei Si had a headache and said.
Pei Ding got up and came to the back of the bookcase to polish the ink.
Master Pei Qi also followed, and together they consulted on how to write this letter flashy enough and empty shell.
Master Pei Si listened to half of the letter with his ears, and couldn't help but walk over.
After such a painstaking letter was written, the three brothers glanced at each other, and they all showed complicated bitter smiles.
After the letter was sent, Pei Ding was terrified day and night.
This kind of frightening and contradictory is quite contradictory, for example, he is worried that the letter will be intercepted by the people of Dingbeihou, and on the other hand, he secretly hopes that it will be intercepted - covering his ears and stealing the bell, stupid is stupid, but is it not a manifestation of inner torment to the extreme?
In addition, Pei Tingshi was extremely afraid that Dingbei Hou would attack his little life at any time.
When I go out, I feel that everyone is like a killer lurking in the crowd; When I returned home and sat down, my servants brought tea, and I had to check it again and again before I dared to drink it.
After suffering so much until the fifteenth mid-year festival of the first lunar month, after sending off the clansmen, Pei Ding only felt that if he continued like this, he was afraid that if Beihou did not have to make a move, he would not last long.
“…… After this year, why have you lost a lot of weight? On this day, Pei Wushuang was very surprised when he saw his father's appearance.
"It's not good to be old, the food and wine are all gone...... Pei Ding lamented.
"Uncle and they are all gone, you should also put the wine away, you are old, and you don't know how to take care of your body!" Pei Wushuang put down the tonic soup he brought: "This is what my mother asked me to send, drink it while it's hot, go back and lie down." ”
Pei Ding nodded sadly and looked at his exquisitely dressed daughter: "You want to go out?" ”
"Of course, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and I made an appointment with Ah Heng to guess the lantern riddle."
Pei Ding's eyes moved slightly: "Shuang'er is quite close to Master Ji now?" ”
"Yes, Ah Heng and I have the same temper, and we hate to see each other late."
Pei Ding: "I vaguely heard that this Ji painter is very much loved by Mrs. Xiao, and has a good relationship with Xiao Hou?" ”
"That's natural, our Ah Heng's temperament and appearance are the same as mine, who wouldn't like it when they see it?" The girl straightened her cloak and turned around to go out: "I won't tell you, it's too late to go out again." ”
Pei Ding hurriedly said: "Shuang'er wait-"
Pei Wushuang turned around.
Pei Ding looked at his daughter, paused, and then asked with a complicated expression: "Shuang'er...... If Dad encounters a big problem and needs your help, will you help or not? ”
"Of course-" Pei Wushuang smiled at him, and then smiled, and said expressionlessly: "Don't help." ”
Pei Ding made a bitter action to wipe away tears: "Hey, dad knows ......"
"Hey, what can you do?" Pei Wushuang rolled his eyes: "Besides, what you can't do, how can I help?" ”
"This is not necessarily, you need to know that your daughter's family has its own convenience for your daughter's family......"
Pei Wushuang interrupted him urgently: "Okay, okay, then what are the big difficulties?" ”
Pei Ding hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "It's nothing, my father just said it casually, I want to see if Shuang'er is well-behaved, and whether he is willing to share his worries for his father." ”
Pei Wushuang's eyes rolled even bigger this time: "Since you are so idle, why don't you help your subordinates sweep the yard?" ”
"You have to drink this tonic soup before you have the strength to sweep it......" Pei Ding raised his hand to serve the soup cup.
Pei Wushuang didn't pay attention to him anymore, and when he was about to walk out, he was stunned at his feet, and when he turned around, he saw the person who had lost a lot of weight holding the soup cup with a smile, showing a little old for no reason.
"Daddy—" she shouted.
"What's wrong? Didn't your aunt give enough money? Pei Ding asked with a smile.
"Fourth Uncle and Seventh Uncle, did they really come to Yingzhou this time to celebrate your birthday?" Pei Wushuang frowned slightly and asked, "Why don't I think it's so simple?" ”
Pei Ding was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Naturally, there are some side matters to discuss with my father, but they are just trivial matters in the clan...... You don't necessarily have the patience to listen. ”
"What do you have to come to Yingzhou to discuss with you? It's like you can do it......"
Pei Ding couldn't help glaring: "What's the matter, dad is so useless?" ”
"Who said it wasn't......" Pei Wushuang muttered, and said seriously in a rare way: "Since I came to Yingzhou, I have been separated from the clan, but I feel a lot more comfortable, and now this kind of life is also very good-Dad, can't our family live their lives in Yingzhou with peace of mind?" Don't take care of the mess in the clan. ”
Pei Ding smiled and sighed.
Everyone in the world, one is prosperous and the other is lost, how can it be ...... by others
"Alright, don't keep your friends waiting, let's go."
This perfunctory attitude made the girl frown: "You haven't promised me yet, I mean it!" ”
Pei Ding nodded again and again: "Okay, yes, my father agreed, Shuang'er is right." ”
"Don't perfunctory me, people have to listen to persuasion when they get old!" Pei Wushuang muttered a few words dissatisfiedly, and when he saw that it was getting late, he hurried out with the female envoy.
Seeing the girl's back disappear, Pei Ding smiled and said to himself: "This girl's temper, it's not easy to have a good friend......
It's not easy, but let's cherish it for the child.
……
When Pei Wushuang arrived at the agreed place, Heng Yu and the others had just arrived.

It's late, it's late, I wanted to send 2000 words first, but it was written that I didn't see the time, so forgive me.
