Chapter 17 Childhood Sweethearts, Déjà vu Yan Returns (1)
Since beating Wang Junyi, he knew that Ye Pei was a woman, just like being under a demon, he didn't think about tea and dinner every day, and he couldn't sleep. Wang Qinruo thought he was sick, so he didn't let him go out for a walk and recuperate at home, but his condition was worse day by day, and he lost more than ten pounds in a month.
On this day, Zhao Yunxi came to meet Wang Congyi and took a look at Wang Junyi's condition by the way.
Zhao Yunxi asked Wang Junyi: "What's the name of that friend you made?" ”
Wang Junyi asked inexplicably: "Which friend?" ”
"It's the one who quarreled with the daughter-in-law of the Ding family that day."
"Oh, her name is Ye Pei, I didn't know she was a woman before, and I worshipped her as a master. She is both civil and military, knows martial arts and medical skills, and is very knowledgeable. ”
"I heard that the dart master of the dart game is it?" Cho Yoon-hee asked again.
"Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, Mashi Street, very famous."
"Well, I see!" Cho Yoon-hee groaned and fell into deep thought.
Wang Congyi saw Zhao Yunxi's state and asked, "Bo Pinghou is interested in her?" ”
Zhao Yunxi came back to his senses and said, "No, just ask." He turned his head and said to Wang Junyi: "Then you have a good rest, no, I will call the imperial doctor in the house to come and show you." ”
Wang Junyi glanced at his brother and replied, "Thank you Bo Pinghou, I don't have any big deals, it's just that my father won't let me go out to play, and I'm panicking at home." ”
Zhao Yunxi said with a smile: "It's no wonder that young people are greedy for fun, so let your father marry you and collect your heart." ”
Wang Junyi was even more depressed when he heard this, and Wang Congyi saw that his younger brother looked gloomy, so he asked Zhao Yunxi to come out.
A few days later, a chariot covered with ayaluo and hanging incense balls stopped outside the gate of Lu Chang's house. A noble lady in her forties, medium build, fair and translucent skin, a slightly round face, and a pair of crescent eyes were bright and clear. Wearing an apricot-colored wide-sleeved robe, covered with a big red jacket, embroidered with Ruyi bat patterns, wearing a crown of emerald pearls on his head, and a white rhino horn comb inserted in the back of his hair.
The maid next to the noble lady said to the little Lizi who was guarding the door: "Our lady wants to see your girl Ye Pei, please introduce me." ”
Xiao Lizi hadn't seen this formation, so he hurriedly ran inside and asked Bai Shi to come out to greet him. The Bai family still had some knowledge, walked forward and invited the noble lady to sit in the living room.
Bai said: "Dare to ask this lady's name, where is the house?" ”
The lady said: "I am the princess of Yanwang Zhang." ”
When Bai Shi heard this, he said even more solemnly: "What is the matter with the princess coming to the cold house? ”
"I heard my son say that he recently met my long-lost niece daughter Ye Pei, but I don't know if she is living in your mansion. If this is the case, let us meet to relieve the pain of lovesickness, and I will definitely repay the favor to thank you for your years of nurturing her. ”
"Ahh Bai Shi was shocked, she never thought that Ye Pei would be the daughter of the palace.
"Okay, I'll go and invite Ye Pei over."
The Bai family asked the eighth princess to sit in the hall for a while, and went out by herself, first telling Xiao Lizi to go and invite Lu Chang home quickly, while going to the backyard to see Ye Pei.
Seeing Ye Pei, Bai said, "Senior sister, there is a noble lady outside who wants to see you." ”
Ye Pei wondered, "What person?" I don't know any noblewomen. ”
Bai asked, "Do you have an aunt who married the Eighth King as a princess?" ”
"What? My aunt came to the door? Ye Pei was a little surprised, she didn't expect her aunt to come to her many years later, she thought that she was already an orphan, but now it seems that this is not the case.
It was not only Ye Pei who was surprised, but Bai was even more surprised. "Is she really your aunt?"
Ye Pei whispered, "Yes." ”
Bai immediately smiled flatteringly and said, "Senior sister, you have never been wronged in our family, I don't ask you to repay your kindness in the future, just don't take revenge." ”
Ye Peiyuan opened his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, how can I be such a person!" ”
Bai Shi smiled and said: "I know that you are the most kind and grateful person, junior sister, I just talk nonsense, don't forget to be rich and noble." ”
Ye Pei was speechless, Bai Shi laughed awkwardly twice, and led Ye Pei to the front hall.
The eighth princess saw Ye Pei and hesitated for a moment. Children grow up and change a lot, where is there still the same as when they were children. However, as the concubine of the eight princes, Zhang's daily maintenance is meticulous, and she has not seen or aged for ten years, and Ye Pei immediately recognized it as her aunt. Aunt and Ye Pei's mother are sisters of the same mother, and the relationship is very good, when Ye Pei was a child, his mother often took Ye Pei to visit the Eight Princes' Mansion, and his aunt loved her very much. I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and at this time, Ye Pei saw his aunt again, remembering many things when he was a child, and tears poured out like a.
She rushed forward and shouted, "Auntie, it's really you!" I'm your Pei'er! How have you been doing all these years? How is the big brother in the family? Is the sixth brother good? ”
As soon as he heard Ye Pei speak, Zhang's was undoubted, hugged Ye Pei, and a line of tears flowed down.
"It's all good, it's all good. Pity my sister and brother-in-law, a loyal family. I thought I'd never see you again. God have mercy on them, leave a blood for them! The eighth princess stroked Ye Pei's cheek and said lovingly.
Ye Pei heard her aunt mention her deceased parents, her heart was sad, and she herself didn't expect to see her relatives again.
The two hugged their heads and cried for a while before they stopped.
The eighth princess asked, "Good boy, how did you escape in the first place?" ”
Ye Pei said: "When my parents were killed, my mother hid me in a bookcase to escape, and then a hidden master rescued me, I worshipped him as a teacher, and learned martial arts for seven or eight years. The home I live in now is my eldest brother Lu Chang's family, and he opened several businesses in Bianliang. ”
"Bodhisattva bless! Your big brother came back from Kemari Field that day and said he had met you, but I still don't believe it. I found someone to investigate, and sure enough, it was you and I who came to the door. Hurry up, pack up, and go back to the house with your aunt! ”
At this time, Lu Chang had already returned home, and at this moment he was standing beside Zhang and Ye Pei and watching.
Ye Pei looked up at the senior brother and sister-in-law Bai, "This ......" and said to the eighth princess: "These two people are kind to me, I can't just leave." ”
The eighth princess said: "I have thought of this, and tomorrow I will send someone to thank him and the two." ”
Ye Pei said: "Then I'll clean up first, and I'll go in a few days." ”
When the eighth princess saw Ye Pei say this, she thought that she and her senior brother and sister-in-law should have a deep relationship, and it was inconvenient to take Ye Pei away immediately. The two talked about their family routines for a while, reluctantly parted, and made an appointment to pick up Ye Pei three days later.
After the eighth princess left, Lu Chang said: "Senior sister, I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the palace, why didn't you go to find relatives earlier?" ”
Ye Pei said gloomily: "My parents are dead, and it is better to be independent than to rely on relatives and friends. If it weren't for my aunt looking for me, I wouldn't want others to see me clinging to the high branches. ”
Lu Chang nodded. Bai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Good sister, don't worry!" Who dares to say anything gossip. Don't forget what I told you. ”
Lu Chang said: "After all, it's your aunt, and we have no reason to force you to stay." Although his house is noble, if there is really something you can't get used to, you can still come back to your senior brother's house. ”
Ye Pei was very moved.
Bai said to Lu Chang: "Look at what you said, how can you compare the food and clothing in the palace?" Our sister is the daughter of the palace, who dares to give her a little bit of unhappiness? It's just my sister, if you want to come back for the New Year in the future, we will often visit you in the palace. ”
Ye Pei nodded, remembering that Fifth Senior Brother Lou Zijin hadn't returned for a long time, so he said to Lu Chang: "If Fifth Senior Brother comes back, you must let me know." ”
Bai Shi said angrily: "Zijin, this stupid child, he doesn't say a word when he leaves, and I still have no conscience to do anything for him!" ”
Lu Chang said on the side: "My son can't help it, he has his own ideas, why should you complain." ”
Bai no longer talks much.
In the blink of an eye, on the third day, the eighth princess came to pick up Ye Pei in person, bringing a hundred taels of gold and a box of jewels and jade, which made the Bai family unable to close their mouths. Ye Pei packed a box of things and let the little maid carry them, said goodbye to his senior brother and sister-in-law, and followed the eighth princess back to the house.
When she arrived at the palace, the eighth princess had already cleaned up the courtyard in the garden for Ye Pei to live in, and also sent her own right-hand maid Xiaohuan and a few rough maidservants to serve Ye Pei. When he arrived at the house, Ye Pei was very moved when he saw that the new clothes that had been made were hung all over the wardrobe, and the newly made jewelry was spread all over the jewelry table.
Zhao Yunxi could have set up another mansion after marrying his wife and becoming a marquis, but because the renovation of the Houfu has not been completed, he is still living in the palace courtyard. Tonight, he also brought his wife Xia back to his house to celebrate.
Taizong's eighth son, Zhao Yuanyan, the eighth king who has been named King Yan, also came. At this time, the eight kings are different from Ye Pei's uncle when he was a child, he was only the king of the county at that time, and now the sixth son of the eight kings, Zhao Ying, has ascended the throne as the emperor and changed his name to Zhao Zhen.
However, now that the Empress Dowager Liu E is in charge, there were no children at the end of Zhenzong's reign, and some ministers elected eight kings to succeed to the throne, and Liu E persecuted them a lot. In the end, in order to balance the interests of all parties, Liu E supported Zhao Yingfu to ascend the throne, and the eight kings, in order to preserve their strength, Taoguang and obscure, pretended to be impulsive and did not go to court for more than ten years.
At the family banquet, everyone sat around, and Ye Pei met with his uncle and brother and sister-in-law, and told them about their sorrows. Everyone sighed that creation made people, and they saw Ye Pei again after ten years, and they felt that things were wrong.
The eighth princess said to Ye Pei: "Pei'er, your fifteenth birthday has passed, and you haven't had time to make a ceremony, and it will be Shangsi's Daughter's Day in a few days, so I should hold a ceremony for you." ”
Ye Pei was very moved when he heard this, the woman was a fifteen-year-old adult, and she inserted a hairpin crown ceremony on her head, representing an adult, and it was all presided over by the mother for her daughter. When my aunt said this, she obviously regarded Ye Pei as her own daughter. Thinking of the early death of his parents, and now returning to his aunt, Ye Pei threw himself into Zhang's arms and cried "humble".
Since then, Ye Pei has lived in the Eight Princes' Mansion, and has the love of the Eight Princesses, and no one in the mansion dares not respect Ye Pei, and she lives very comfortably.
Ye Pei lived comfortably in the palace, but there was one person who couldn't be happy.
