Chapter 25 Internal Determination
Pei Du's old face was flushed by Han Yushu's landing, and he was a little impressive.
After Han became more and more angry, he said helplessly: "Whether I believe it or not, anyway, the female relatives in my family believe it." And after Fei'er saw Li Changji, she put all her thoughts on him. What happens in the future, it is her own choice. Leave it to fate!"
Or do you believe in your fate? Han Yu angrily glanced at Pei Du.
Just about to persuade Pei Du for a few words, he saw Pei Du arch his hand and said, "Please retreat from this matter." You should write to Li He's mother now, and ask the steward who has just been to the Li family to work hard again. ”
Then he sighed with a wry smile: "It was the old man's whim that caused this incident." was embarrassed to retreat, and the old man couldn't help it. ”
said that he was too reluctant to go, but he repeatedly urged Han Yu to write a letter, and got up to polish the ink for Han Yu himself.
Han Yu was so impressed by his eager appearance that he couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed secretly with the pen he picked up. My hand in writing articles is now a matchmaker. Regardless of how Han Yu, the article giant, protects the media in the letter.
In the main hall of the inner courtyard of the Pei family, the Duchess Gao was sitting on the first chair at this time, listening to the servants sent to inquire about the Li family. A group of children, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law sat or stood beside him, and the third lady Runfei and her mother Liu Shizi also accompanied them.
After listening to the words, several women in the house were enthusiastic, and it was difficult to distinguish between joy and sorrow.
After experiencing a serious illness, Li Gongzi suddenly gave up his studies to practice medicine. And the medical skills are outstanding, and the people who have been treated by him are all cured by medicine. All over the country have spread his medical skills and medical ethics. Even the Jingyuan Zen Master of Jinshan Temple, since he was cured of a solid illness by Li Gongzi for many years, prayed for Li Gongzi every day. ”
As soon as the servant woman who heard about the good things said happily, the daughters of the Pei family were all overjoyed.
Another servant woman said: "The eldest lady of the Li family made a fuss a few days ago, which stirred up Yizhou City. I heard that Li Gongzi took the scholar to the door with his bare hands. The gate of Cheng's house was kicked more than ten feet away, and Master Cheng, the former brother-in-law of Li Gongzi, was also beaten so that he couldn't get out of bed for three days. There are countless family members who have injured their arms and broken legs. He also went to the yamen in public to make peace. And it is also written in the book of harmony and separation that Cheng Ziqiao's private morality was caused by the divorce. ”
Li Changji is the sister who protects his sister, and he is so strong. It's really a good man who stands up to the sky. All the ladies listened enthusiastically and praised one after another. Even Liu, who has always disagreed with this family business, was a little excited.
But he also said strangely: "For what big thing, I want to make trouble to the point of harmony." ”
The servant woman glanced at the young lady who was not out of the cabinet, and said with a vague face: "The slave maid didn't inquire about anything else." I heard that Master Cheng was on the front foot and leaving, and on the back foot, he set out to marry the sixth lady of the Lu County Cheng family. ”
Then he glanced at the masters with a deep meaning, and said: "The Cheng family once looked for the Baishi Daoist of Qingfeng Guan to give orders to the eldest lady of the Li family. said that her life was against her character and blocked the path of the disciples in the Cheng family. Therefore, he planned to divorce his wife. I think it was Li Gongzi who heard the news and called the door. The slave maid also heard of a strange thing..."
"What's the matter? "Even the Duchess couldn't bear it anymore.
The servant woman said mysteriously: "On the second day after the eldest lady of the Li family finished making peace, the Baishi Daoist of Qingfeng Guan suddenly became dumb. The villagers all said that they had suffered retribution. But the Taoist boy in the Taoist temple said that he was dumbfounded by a boy in a green shirt that night. The boy also brought a scholar. ”
The servant woman was afraid that the masters would not believe it, so she hurriedly told her about the matter that she had spent two dollars to bribe the Taoist boy to inquire about, and told her in detail.
"I'm afraid that Dao Tong is trying to cheat you out of your money. You are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, do you know the way?" said Duchess Gao in a deep voice.
The servant woman nodded hurriedly and agreed: "Yes, yes, the slave and maid also think so, and never take this seriously." Never go out and chew your tongue with people. ”
A servant woman who went to the mountain village in person reported: "The situation of the Li family, it is necessary for the slave maid to say that she knows with the ladies and ladies..."
After listening to these rumors, the Li family's family background, the servant women just don't talk about it, and the ladies also know it. When the servant woman said that Li He's mother was actually dressed in patched clothes and did the housework herself. The ladies still looked at each other and changed color.
Gao Shi exclaimed: "The Li family is from a royal family, and they are so down-and-out? Mrs. Zheng is also the daughter of a famous family, how can no one pay attention to it? There must be something strange in this, so you must inquire carefully." By the way, how is the sister-in-law of the Li family?"
"Diligent and virtuous, gentle and gentle. The villagers in the village praised it. It's only been seven or eight years since I entered the door, and there is no child interest so far. But it can be seen that Mrs. Li is not dissatisfied, and she is still as happy as before. I get along with my family very well, and I also get along well with my eldest sister who has returned home. ”
The servant woman hurriedly explained the old lady's concerns carefully.
Gao pondered for a long time, first ordered the servants to go down, and asked the juniors: "I invite you to come here today and listen to Li He's family affairs with your own ears." is really planning to discuss marriage with the Li family for Fei'er. You have also heard the words of the people. What do you think about this family business? ”
The second lady, Ding, saw that everyone was looking at her, and immediately took action.
After pondering for a while, he said solemnly: "Li Changji is proud and upright, and he is strong and protective of his family. It is really the best choice for women to choose a son-in-law. Although his family is poor, he has no intention of pursuing a career in office. But with his medical skills and medical ethics, he can also be passed on to future generations. It's a big deal, let's marry more in the Pei family. In fact, with Li He's own ability, it is only a matter of time before he makes a fortune. The daughter-in-law agrees with this family business. ”
It's not your daughter, of course, to put it lightly. Other people's sons-in-law are noble sons-in-law, but Fei'er's son-in-law is a medical practitioner. It's still a continuation of people's strings. If you think it's good, you can be a son-in-law for the fourth girl.
But Liu can only say this in his heart, how can he talk about it on the bright side, and lose his own value. Busy putting his hopeful eyes on the face of his eldest daughter-in-law Du Shi, hoping that she, as the future wife of the family, would take the lead in saying something against it. Last night, Liu told his daughter-in-law for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after the third brother and sister ** Zhou also agreed, his daughter-in-law Du Shi said: "The sons of the Wang family and the Tian family, who used to marry the third sister, are all weak and stubborn. They died prematurely, but it was their own fault. It has nothing to do with the life of the third sister, so there is really no need to care about the words of Zen Master Huixing. ”
Liu was overjoyed and hurriedly motioned for his eldest daughter-in-law to continue.
"Granddaughter-in-law was still wondering yesterday why her grandfather chose Li Changji. Today, when I listened to what the servants said, I suddenly realized. Grandfather is really wise and accurate. The granddaughter-in-law was impressed. ”
Liu was dumbfounded and stammered, "You... What do you mean by that?"
Du Shi bowed to his mother-in-law, and said solemnly to his grandmother Gao: "When a woman chooses a son-in-law, her family reputation is secondary. What matters is how good the character is. Li Changji protects his family and does not try to be famous. Approachable but not pedantic. Hanging pots to help the world, opening classes and teaching apprentices, and being a civil and military all-rounder. Such an unborn strange man is hard to find with a lantern. The third sister can have this opportunity, and she really can't miss it. ”
Several heavyweights in the family have expressed their support, and others have echoed it. After the Duchess of Guo took a few cases, the matter was finalized within the Pei family.
Afterwards, several sisters-in-law joked that the sister-in-law hurried back to the room to embroider the wedding shawl, and the atmosphere in the main hall immediately became pleasant.
Pei Runfei's heart was soft, and the red glow on her face flew all over. Seeing that things had gone as he wanted, he got up and said goodbye to his grandmother with a shy face.
Sister-in-law Du Shi hurriedly stood up and accompanied her sister-in-law to the back garden. After waving off the maid and servant woman who followed.
Du Shi smiled: "There is something to say about knowing my sister." Last night, your eldest brother came back from the barracks and told me about a few soldiers who had escaped from Weicheng. The soldier met two people on the road, and it sounded like Li Gongzi and them. ”
Now about Li He, no matter how big or small, Pei Runfei likes to listen to it. Du immediately told the soldier about being taught a lesson by Li He.
After that, he smiled and said: "Li Gongzi is heroic and chivalrous, and he is really a good match for his sister." My sister-in-law openly agreed with this matter today, disobeyed my mother, and hoped that my sister would help me deal with it. ”
Pei Runfei was grateful, but she also agreed. In his mind, he imagined that Li He lifted a big man high, and he was suddenly full of tenderness.
Where is he now? Is the road safe! As soon as their family affairs were crossed out, Miss Pei San thought of her future husband.
At this time, Li He was of course very good, and he galloped on the official road with a fast horse and whip, which was very pleasant.
Shen Yazhi, who was sitting beside him, pointed to the distant mountain in front of him and said, "That's Xiyue Huashan!" Changji, you can catch the car really fast, just one day to reach the usual two-day journey. Aren't we going into town tonight?"
Li He nodded and smiled: "I still live in the wild tonight." When passing by the town for a while, see what you need to buy and pick it up in advance. Find a better place to camp tonight. ”
Because he inadvertently provoked the Nine Shadows Demon last night, Li He was not at ease to go into the city and sleep separately. When camping in the wilderness, he can prevent it.
Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, when passing through a town called Shilipu, Shen Yazhi purchased a tent, two quilts, and some rice, steamed bread, vegetables and vegetables. gnawed three meals of dry food in a row, but this boy couldn't bear it. Li He also let him and had no objections.
Before it got dark, Li He found a relatively open riverside camp. Tents were set up and bonfires were set up. I first cooked a pot of rice porridge and then stir-fried a pot of vegetables. With the steamed buns bought in the town, the five of them ate very comfortably.
Lu Hualong didn't think there was any meat to eat, and after drinking a bowl of gruel, without waiting for Li He to stop him, Lu Hualong flew into the woods on the other side of the river.
As usual, as soon as he entered the dense forest, he was bound to be frightened by the birds and beasts. But this time, it was Lu Hualong who screamed in surprise. But the voice was extremely short, as if someone had stuck in the throat.
Li He was shocked and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand. First, he circled around Shen Ya's master and servant, and drew a circle on the ground with colorful brilliance.
solemnly advised: "No matter what happens, you can't get out of this circle." Remember, remember. ”
After speaking, he jumped over the river five or six feet wide like a big bird. The woods across the river were pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. But as soon as Li He's body was thrown into the forest, the brilliance on his body skyrocketed. Suddenly there was a brightness in front of me.
