The prince is concerned with the state system. Although this incident is a bit ugly, even if it is true, at best it proves that the prince has a tyrannical temperament and a lack of personal morality, and these are all false things. The so-called princes who break the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, but just like the Datong world, the world is the public, it is only an ideal of the sages in ancient times, even if the side concubine is killed, it is far from the emperor's intolerable bottom line, and the emperor's new throne soon, All court situations, all seek stability, and hope that the emperor will really move the prince because of this, which is unlikely.
He was in need of a ladder that could pull this off, and now that the ladder was handed over, he took it. As for whether it is true or not, whether to believe it or not, it is the next thing.
These were all explained to her by Pei You'an when Jiafu went to read with her in the study one night afterwards.
Jiafu felt a sense of relief.
She originally regretted her impulsive act that night, but listening to his tone, what she did that night was not a bad thing anyway.
In the end, he held her on his lap and told her that he had been too negligent before, so that she almost had an accident, and he assured Jia Fu that he would be more careful in the future, and would never let her meet the image before. Such a dangerous thing.
With him around, Jiafu was really at ease, she didn't have to think about anything except nodding.
She worked so hard to coerce and deceive him, and finally let him marry her man, like a towering tree, sheltering her from the wind and rain.
…
Two days later, Jiafu's brother Zhen Yaoting arrived in the capital.
I haven't seen each other for half a year. Although my brother's words and deeds are still a little bit childish, he has become more stable than before, and he has become darker and thinner. At that time, when the brothers and sisters met, they were very happy, and Jiafu stayed at home all the time. In the evening, Pei Youan came out of the palace, left a meal for dinner, and then took Jiafu back to the palace. The next day, Mrs. Meng brought her son to visit the elders. After kowtowing, the old lady said that it was all from her own family. , there is no need to avoid so many suspicions, leaving Zhen Yaoting to speak in front of him. The old lady asked about Zhen Yaoting's marriage, and learned that there was a delay in the front, and now there is no suitable family, and said: "The child is not too old, and marriage is a life-long affair, and the most urgent thing is to look for it slowly. Most important."
Meng Shi couldn't stop nodding: "I think so too. Yao Ting is naughty and doesn't obey me. I used to think that in the future, the most important thing for my daughter-in-law is that the governor is stable, so that I can help me."
When she said this, Jiafu noticed her brother and turned her head to look in the direction of the curtain of the door behind her, thinking she was looking for Yuzhu, but there were only two little girls standing there.
After talking for a while, the old lady heard that Meng Shi said that she was going to go back to Quanzhou soon, and said: "If you are not in a hurry to go back, why don't you stay a little longer. In a few days, it will be my second grandson's wedding. They are relatives, they came together to be lively and lively, and they came back after having a wedding wine."
When Mrs. Meng heard that Pei Xiuzhi was finally getting married, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She asked the woman, and agreed with her mouth. She turned her head and smiled at her son: "This is the best way. Let's stay for a while longer. day."
Zhen Yaoting was reluctant to go back just like this, and he was in the middle of his arms, and happily agreed.
Mrs. Pei's body, in the past few years, has been rapidly aging, and only in this short half year, her spirit has recovered, but after all, the foundation has been hollowed out. After sitting for a long time, her face gradually became dull. After she rested, she got up and said goodbye.
The old lady called out a jade pearl, and the jade pearl picked up the curtain and entered. Hearing that Meng's mother and son were leaving, she asked herself to send it off, smiled and led Meng's and Zhen Yaoting out. Gaff also went with him.
This time, Mrs. Meng was not at ease, and had repeatedly mentioned her son in private, ordering him not to do the kind of privately blocking people like last year, so as not to embarrass his sister again. Zhen Yaoting agreed. Sure enough, from the beginning to the end today, except for a few glances back when I heard the old lady and Meng shi mentioning their marriage, there was no rudeness in his behavior, but after he came out, he helped his mother to get on the carriage and was about to leave. , I couldn't help but look back a few times.
Yuzhu turned her face away.
Looking at it, Jia Fu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
My brother is really interested in Yuzhu. It's been so long. When I came to Beijing this time, my brother and sister met yesterday. Before she left, he quietly asked her about Yuzhu's current situation, and he was relieved to hear that she was unworthy. .
The Pei family releases girls once a year, and this year is almost here. Some of the old girls in the house have one after another, either with people, or out of the house. Du Yuzhu, already the eldest old girl, doesn't seem to have any plans yet. Just a few days ago, when Jiafu came to the old lady's side, she also heard the old lady ask Yuzhu, saying that if you have an idea, feel free to say it. Yuzhu's face was a little red at that time, she quickly glanced at Jiafu, shook her head and said that she had no idea, and still only wanted to serve the old lady all her life. At that time, the old lady smiled and sighed, saying that she would leave without knowing when, she had been serving her for so many years, and it was not good to delay it any longer.
Jiafu remembered that when she came back from Baiheguan in the car with her that day, she was uncharacteristically silent, and her expression was a little sad. I think it was the background of the female crown that brought back her memories of her childhood.
Jiafu originally thought that if Yuzhu also had a heart for her brother, she might as well be cheeky and talk to the old lady. Mother has always liked Yuzhu, and would only agree with her. With the praise of the old lady, it must be hard for grandmother to hold back.
If the elder brother can marry Yuzhu as his wife, then he will be able to rest assured at home and abroad.
I just watched Yuzhu come out all the way, and only talked to my mother and myself, and didn't even look at my brother, and seemed completely unintentional.
If she doesn't care, it will be of no avail for her brother to shave his head and the burden is too hot, and it is even more difficult for her to open this mouth rashly, so as not to feel forced.
It's just that her brother was too rough in the past and left a bad impression on her in the past.
Jaffe had to give up the idea.
Soon, everyone in the Pei family was busy with Pei Xiuzhi's marriage. Because of the successor who married, Zhou Jiao'e had also arranged for a marriage before. Later, it was said that the two sides were not compatible, so they quit the marriage and stayed at home for two years. It was smooth sailing, and soon, Pei Xiuzhi became a relative.
Mrs. Pei was very attentive to Pei Xiuzhi's marriage. Despite her lack of energy, not only did she often intervene in person, but she also paid a large amount of money to subsidize her grandson's marriage.
After Pei Xiuzhi committed the crime, not only did he lose his title, but he was also relieved of his previous position as the captain of Shangfenwei, and now he is a white man. He was about to get married, and Pei You'an invited a Yin En in front of the emperor for him, and he entered the Young Official Sheren Camp, and obtained an official position with a sword and Sanqi Sheren.
Sheren Camp is subordinate to the Fifth Army Camp of Jingying. Although this official position cannot be compared with the title of duke of the country, the people who can enter the camp are all the sons and daughters of the Duke, Hou, and Uncle. Many children of aristocratic families could not enter if they wanted to.
Although Pei Xiuzhi was married for the second time, in addition to not having the honor of conferring marriage, when they got married that day, the pomp was no less than the previous big wedding of Pei Youan. There were many guests in Pei's mansion. In addition to those who came for Pei You'an, there were also many people from Queen Zhou's house. From morning to night, it was lively for a whole day. You can see a smiling face, her face is flushed, and her laughter can be heard everywhere.
The next morning, Jiafu saw her sister-in-law, Zhou Jiao'e, who was older than her and looked 18 or 19 years old. She lived up to her name, with a good appearance and exquisite dress. She had thin lips and could speak well. At that time, Pei Xiuzhi was standing beside her with a smile on her face, but for some reason, the smile seemed a little reluctant, her eyes wandered, it floated to Jiafu's face, and she quickly moved away, as if secretly depressed and ashamed .
Jiafu didn't care at the time. I didn't expect that within a few days, I heard a news from Mama Liu, saying that the night of the second master Pei Xiuzhi's bridal chamber was fine at first, but soon, the night watcher heard vaguely that something had started inside. After the quarrel, it was quiet, and there was no movement for the next few nights, but in the middle of the night last night, Pei Xiuzhi and Zhou Jiao'e suddenly quarreled again. After hearing a few words, it was Pei Xiuzhi who scolded her for being shameless and disrespectful to women. Zhou Jiao'e smashed something on the floor. Pei Xiuzhi angrily left the bedroom and went to the study. People rushed to wake up Mrs. Xin, and Mrs. Xin hurried over to comfort her new daughter-in-law, and then went to the study to call her son and forced him to go back to the bedroom.
Afterwards, although Mrs. Xin also called the old woman who was serving in the courtyard, and strictly prohibited her from speaking out, there was so much noise at the time that she could hear voices from outside the courtyard. Madam Liu was a nosy on weekdays. She had not followed Jiafu into Pei's house for a few months. She had already recognized several goddaughters. She heard the news from the goddaughter and immediately came to tell Jiafu.
Jiafu remembered Pei Xiuzhi's expression on the morning after her marriage, and vaguely understood.
Mama Liu should have also thought of something, and said in a low voice: "So it seems that this second grandmother was divorced when she was a girl at home a few years ago. What, I only stayed at home for two years, and it happened that now that the empress had risen, someone asked her about her marriage and married the second master. She had only entered the door a few days, and she walked with her chin up, in addition to flattering the old lady, even The lady in the second room didn't take it seriously. I heard that the second lady said a lot of things behind her back. I also told her how high-minded she was, and it was the doctor who treated her like a treasure. "
A look of contempt appeared on Madam Liu's face.
Jiafu told her not to spread the word, and Liu mama nodded: "grandmother is kind and soft-hearted, I'm not afraid that you will be bullied by her, so I'm asking for news for you? A doorknob, I can count."
Early the next morning, the two houses of the Pei family, together with the clan, and the people who had contact with the Pei family on weekdays, dispatched hundreds of people. Send it to Ci'en Temple to give the old prince a seventieth birthday.
Mingshou is also held every tenth, once every ten years, so this time, not only the Pei family's arrangements are very grand, but they have to do it in the Ci'en Temple for seven days in a row, in order to complete the day, the emperor in the palace also sent eunuchs to give royal objects.
The purpose of making a birthday for the ancestors is that the family will not have to cry and be sad, and the female relatives will also dress ceremoniously. For today's sake, Pei You'an deliberately asked the emperor to leave, and before the fourth watch, the sky was still dark, so he got up, told Jiafu to sleep again, and went out by himself, and went to arrange various matters with Pei Quan. Jiafu finished packing at this moment, went to the old lady's place, and went out the door together. The genius was shining brightly, lighting the lantern all the way, turning around the wall of the screen, and seeing the bright fire stick at the gate, the shadows of people, the men and the stewards hurriedly communicated, In and out, among so many people, she still saw Pei You'an's figure at a glance. There was a flower hall next to the entry room, waiting for the time to be arranged to get on the carriage. When he saw him and a steward coming, he stared blankly and waited behind the screen.
Pei You'an was talking to the steward, but Feng caught a glimpse of her from the corner of his eye. Seeing that she was behind one hand and the other was beckoning at him, he stopped, asked Guan Xian to go, walked to Jiafu, and blocked her between him and the wall, then looked down at her and smiled, "What's the matter? ?"
Jiafu glanced to the left and right and saw no one, the arm behind her back quickly stretched out, and handed him a bag of handkerchiefs: "You woke up in the middle of the night, there are so many things, wait for the next departure. , When I got to the temple, I must have no time to eat. I was afraid that you would be hungry, so I just made some snacks for you, including mung bean cake, lactose cake, and almond cake. The almond cake was made last night by the chef Okay, it's the best to eat this morning, it's fragrant and crunchy, one bite at a time, if you're hungry, fill your stomach..."
"Master, the Marquis of Jing'an is here!"
A steward at the door looked for him loudly.
Jiafu hurriedly shoved the snack into his hand, turned around and slipped away from his arm.
Pei You'an looked down at the dessert that she forcibly stuffed in her hand, looked up, saw that she was already like a little rabbit, ran into the flower hall quickly, disappeared, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly unconsciously.
This little wife of his is really raising him with her own taste. Because he never refused, so from the earliest bowl of snow fungus and taro milk soup, it was out of control. The food made for him at night was all sweet, and now it is stuffed to him, it can also make people sweet. of dim sum.
But he seems to gradually feel the taste of dessert, and it seems that he is not so unhappy.
I have been busy since the fourth quarter, and the little thing I ate when I woke up is long gone. When she said it at this moment, she seemed to be really hungry.
Pei Youan unfolded his handkerchief, picked up a piece of almond cake, threw it into his mouth, swallowed a few times into his stomach, wrapped the rest in his sleeve, turned out of the screen, and walked towards the door.
