Fei Zhiwen and Pei Yan went to the next pavilion.
Pei Yan thought that Fei Zhiwen would tell him about it straight to the point, but Fei Zhiwen didn't say anything after watching the scenery for a long time.
In the early summer, there were already small bugs flying around, Pei Yan patted several bugs in a row, Fei Zhiwen was a little impatient before he opened his mouth, and said: "Brother, you are looking for me, not because you want to be with me Tell me about your position in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
Although Fei Zhiwen and Pei Yan were brothers in the same school, their age and experience made them not particularly close personal friends. He had heard from Zhang Ying that Pei Yan was straightforward and intelligent, but he did not expect Pei Yanyan to be so direct and clever.
Thinking of the appearance of Yu Tang and Pei Yan together, he couldn't help laughing at himself, and then said softly: "I'm looking for you for a personal matter indeed!"
Having said that, he remained silent for a long time.
Pei Yan was still thinking about Yu Tang who had returned to his residence alone. He rolled his eyes secretly when he heard the words, and suppressed the displeasure in his heart and said: "Senior brother, since you have found me, you must have a lot of considerations. Said, you should think that I can listen to these words, and I am suitable to listen to them. Then why do you hesitate? Or, do you think about it for a few days? Wait until you think you are ready, and then tell me? "
Fei Zhiwen smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back? There are so many maids around Mrs. Pei, are you afraid that no one will accompany her?"
Pei Yan said without blushing: "How can the maidservant compare to me? She should most want me to accompany her!"
His upright tone made Fei Zhiwen speechless for a long time, and finally shook his head with a smile, and said, "Are you so confident?"
"Of course!" Pei Yan said, "No matter what, I'm her husband-in-law. If she would rather the servant girl accompany her than me, then she must be dissatisfied with me, and I have to Find a way to find out what makes her dissatisfied, and eliminate this dissatisfaction! Otherwise, if she doesn't say anything, I won't ask, and over time, problems will definitely arise. If you don't believe me, ask Yin Mingyuan, I think he often accompanies Young Mistress Yin everywhere You don't dislike her talkativeness. If you ask me about this kind of thing, you might as well ask him. In my opinion, there is no one who can make troubles more than Mrs. Yin. Yin Mingyuan can respect and love her, so it can be seen Yin Mingyuan is truly amazing!"
Fei Zhiwen smiled and said, "You don't want to meddle in my business, do you? You just want to push me to Yin Mingyuan. If Yin Mingyuan knows that you talk about his wife behind his back, he will definitely not be happy."
Pei Yan said: "I said the same in front of him."
Fei Zhiwen laughed loudly, but after laughing, his expression was lonely, and he said in a deep voice: "Actually, my wife hanged herself to death."
Pei Yan looked at Fei Zhiwen in surprise, all voices were blocked in his throat.
Or he said the most difficult thing, but Fei Zhiwen looked relieved. He looked at the green hills in the distance and said in a low voice: "She wants to reconcile, it is impossible, but I agree, my family Her natal family cannot afford to be ashamed. My father-in-law made it clear that there are no aunts and grandmothers who have returned home. My brother-in-law even threatened that if she dared to leave the gate of Fei's house, he would personally take her away. She strangled her to death. My own in-law's family, I know about it. Because she married into our family, the whole family regards it as an honor, and the girls and boys in their family have become sought-after daughters-in-law and son-in-law .They walk the talk.
I discussed with her at that time and said that she should live in another village. Anyway, I'm not going to marry again.
At that time, she estimated that there was no other way, so she agreed.
But I didn't expect that she still hanged herself. "
Speaking of this, he looked even more dazed: "I can't figure out why she hanged herself? It's impossible for her to be with someone else. Is it because of this? Do you think life is meaningless?"
After hearing this, Pei Yan hurriedly said: "Is it because of this reason that you asked me what a woman wants most?"
"Yes!" Fei Zhiwen said calmly, "I want to know why your wife can follow you willingly, but she can't."
Pei Yan was very unhappy when she heard this, and retorted: "My wife didn't marry me for this reason! It's mainly because she likes me!"
Fei Zhiwen already knew about his thick skin, and he didn't want to discuss it with him at all. He only talked about his own problem: "Will I continue to find a way to marry her when she glared at me back then?"
Pei Yan said: "Since you have nothing to feel sorry for her, why do you care what she thinks? Didn't you say that you are not going to continue the string? Even if your family helps you to continue the string, it is impossible to find another small household, right? "
Fei Zhiwen was choked by what he said, and it took him a while to say: "I used to think that I didn't owe her anything, but seeing you like this, I don't think I did as well as you. The dead are the worst. I think, she died before she was alive. For something that she didn't think of, let me make it up to her behind her!"
"People are dead, what's the use!" Pei Yan muttered twice, and soon realized that this was Yu Tang's waste of money for his affairs, and he couldn't ruin her hard work. Quickly, said, "She hanged herself, there must be a lot of gossip in the family, right? The more you explain this kind of rumor, the more people will think you are guilty. So my wife is right, you might as well take care of it." If you want to be an official, please give her a seal or something. When people see your attitude, they will naturally change their comments. Goose leaves a note, and people leave a name. You can't let her go underground. Can't live in peace!"
Fei Zhiwen glanced at him with a half-smile, as if to say, don't show off your little thoughts in front of me.
Pei Yan thought, it's not that I want to plot against you, it's that you jump into the trap knowing that there is a trap, can you blame me
He continued without changing his face: "If you don't believe it, you can ask others. People are gone, and what is right and wrong is left to future generations to write."
"No wonder my teacher said that if you are an official, you must be a powerful minister." Fei Zhiwen smiled, "Whether it is right or wrong, we will leave it to future generations to say, aren't those historians just a display?"
"Whether it's a decoration or not, we all know it in our hearts." Pei Yan didn't argue with him, and said, "Fame and imperial orders are also my family's talk. Maybe it's what my wife said to comfort me. You can listen to it." That's all."
Fei Zhiwen was noncommittal.
Pei Yan saw that he didn't intend to talk to her about something serious, and didn't bother to socialize with him anymore, so after a few more pleasantries, she said goodbye and went back to her residence.
Yu Tang was looking forward to it, and when he saw him, he immediately pulled him into the inner room, and asked him urgently: "How is it? What did Lord Fei tell you?"
That way of talking right and wrong made Pei Yan just want to laugh, and said, "You guessed what Lord Fei is going to tell me?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Yu Tang elbowed Pei Yan, and said, "It's so late, I'm blocking you there, and I asked you those things before, I didn't want to talk to you about private matters at home. What's the matter? Lord Fei is just lying to me."
"You are the only one!" Pei Yan smiled and pinched Yu Tang's nose.
Yu Tang turned his head away from Pei Yan's hand, wrinkled his nose and urged, "Say it quickly! What did he tell you?"
Pei Yan told her about Mrs. Fei's death.
Yu Tang was dumbfounded, and said: "This is really... Did she die at home?"
Pei Yan said, "I didn't ask."
Yu Tang couldn't help muttering: "If it were me, I wouldn't know where to die?"
Before she could finish her sentence, Pei Yan scolded her for "nonsense", and then said: "Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji. In the temple, how can you say such a thing?! No, outside Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be heard by the Bodhisattva!"
"Oh!" Yu Tang hurriedly responded, "Then Mr. Fei asked this to give Mrs. Fei a face?"
Pei Yan told Yu Tang exactly what he and Fei Zhiwen had said.
Yu Tang frowned when he heard it, and for a moment didn't know whose fault it was, so he had to praise Pei Yan: "You are right, since Mr. Fei has done something wrong, let Mrs. Fei be able to do it in the Nine Springs. Have a good rest!"
Let her die with a clean slate.
She pondered: "Tell me, what will Master Fei do?"
"I don't know." Pei Yan spread his hands, "I think senior brother is a bit hypocritical. Now that you have made a decision, don't regret it. Now that you regret it, you have to make a quick decision. It's useless for him to sit there and think about it!"
Yu Tang sighed.
When they went down the mountain, Fei Zhiwen didn't go with them, saying that he would stay here for a few more days to do a ritual ceremony for the late Mrs. Fei.
Yu Tang and Xu Xuan didn't say much about this matter, they returned to the capital in the same car, and parted ways on the street in front of Peifu Hutong.
It's still good at home!
Lying on the newly made mat, Yu Tang felt that the heat had dissipated a lot.
She was just a little sad for Mrs. Fei.
Better to die than to live.
There is always hope in life.
It just so happened that the new cook was very good at making noodles, and the hot and sour soup was used as the topping. Even Yu Tang, who didn't like noodles very much, ate all kinds of noodles for several days.
Xu Xuan was a little disgusted, and said: "This is too sour. Where did your family hire a master? It must not be a master from Jiangnan? Look at this big bowl, it is too solid."
Yu Tang gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's the master from Sichuan. The side dishes he made are also delicious. I drink porridge in the morning and eat a lot. Would you like to try it? I'll ask them to bring you a small jar go back."
"Okay!" Xu Xuan came to Pei's house for a meal because she thought the food at home was tasteless, she said, "Then he should know how to make spicy peppers, you can get me some spicy peppers to take back, and I will eat some quietly."
Yu Tang didn't dare.
They only ate some side dishes that day.
When Pei Yan came back at night, he talked to Yu Tang as usual, but Yu Tang clearly felt that he was not in a good mood.
After dinner, she specially took Pei Yan to take a walk in the yard, and pointed to those hosta flowers and said: "Look, it will bloom soon, what do you think?"
Pei Yan responded casually.
Yu Tang simply stopped going around in circles with him, and said, "Did something happen to Mr. Fei?"
"What's the matter with him?" Pei Yan wondered, and then he suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "You think Brother Fei came to us on purpose, so you should make a decision? If you want to talk about this matter, there is really something—he Recently, I have been frequently going to and from the inner palace, and even started to write green poems for the emperor, the emperor was very happy, he said that he would go to Baiyun Temple in a few days, and appointed Senior Brother Fei to go with him."
