I thought that one of the Pei Wenlang brothers was the head of the family, and he could get some benefits by showing kindness.
I didn’t expect that I would be asked for something in front of me. What a bad luck!
He should have thought that Pei Wenlang and the others came here because they heard that the Pei family was having a good life, but the head of the family that Pei Ji said was the one who brought Pei Ji to live a good life, so he obviously came earlier than Pei Wenlang and the others!
I didn’t think of this level just now, how careless!
He looked at Pei Ji displeased: "Aji, with my ancestor's ring finger, can't it be worth those items?"
Pei Ji said calmly: "It's not me who wants these objects now, it's the head of the family who wants to pursue them or not!"
He added with a half-smile: "What's more, didn't my uncle just say that the jade finger ring has nothing to do with me?"
Pei Song stagnated for a moment, his breath rising and falling, making him choke until he wanted to roll his eyes.
The Pei Wenlang brothers said: "To surrender, you will go to jail, but we are willing to go to jail!"
When I said this, I felt bitter in my mouth.
Who wants to go to jail if nothing happens? However, going to jail only means losing freedom. If they don't return the calligraphy, painting, antiques, gold, silver, and jade that they stole from the Marquis Weiwu's mansion, they will have to enjoy the poisonous ants from time to time.
Such pain.
At least there is no danger to one's life in jail. Now, their lives are in Mu Qingyu's hands.
Pei Zeyi said displeasedly: "Who is the head of the family? Is he a descendant of the Pei family?"
If not, he wouldn't be able to make Pei Ji listen to him!
This is the Pei family's mansion, there is no way an outsider can be the head of the family!
Pei Wenlang and others secretly glanced at Pei Ji again. They thought that the head of the house was Pei Ji, but they thought of something. It seemed that everything in this house was decided by the little witch!
So, they became silent.
It's not that they don't want to tell Pei Song and his son, but they don't dare to say the little witch's name!
When Pei Song saw that everyone was silent, he was afraid that Pei Wenlang and the others would come to him later and ask for the gifts they gave him. They fled to the capital with their whole family, and they brought a lot of things with them, which were still stored in the inn.
, there are those gifts.
However, they didn’t bring it here just to repay it.
Instead, he is preparing to go to the capital to smoothen relations so that he can find some good jobs.
There is no scientific examination within the Five Dynasties, but you can find vacancies. If you find some minor vacancies that are not worthy of rank first, and then clear them up later, maybe you can become a high-ranking official.
At that time, their family will be able to stay stable in the capital, and they will no longer be afraid of King Qi's people.
After you have settled down, you can bring the wives and daughters who stayed in your hometown to the capital. Or you can directly marry some concubines in the capital to serve them.
Pei Song hurriedly said: "Aji, since they didn't tell me, tell me who is the head of the family? Or is there no so-called head of the family at all, just your excuse?"
Pei Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The master of the house has the order. Is this an excuse?"
The head order of the Pei family is a jade plaque carved by the first generation of King Weiwu himself, with the word "Pei" on it. Because of the special jade material, it was blessed by Emperor Gaozu's emperor's seal.
In the founding of Daxia, there were only four kings with different surnames who had such an honor.
Among the descendants of these four kings, from King Weiwu to Duke Weiwu, to Marquis Weiwu, and now to Pei Ji, these two generations have succeeded in nobility, but even so, these are the four kings with different surnames who have lasted the longest.
There were also two second- and third-generation descendants of kings with different surnames who conspired to seize power and usurp the throne, and were expelled from the nine tribes.
The other passed down to the seventh generation, and all the men were gone. Because no one succeeded to the title, the inheritance was interrupted. Therefore, the jade plaques of the three families, which were also stamped with the emperor's seal, have long been destroyed or lost.
Although the Pei family is in decline, it is rare that it can be passed down to this day. There are still direct descendants of the Pei family, and the head of the family, Ling Zi, is also there!
Only scholars who are familiar with the history of Daxia will sigh sadly when they think that even Pei Ji, an invalid and old man, is the only one left in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion today: "The poor four pillars of the founding of the country will eventually be annihilated in the dust. In another hundred years,
, who remembers the merits of their ancestors, and who remembers the end of their incense?"
As a descendant of the Pei family, Pei Song knew about the family head's order even though he was a commoner.
But he frowned: "Aji, in that case, who is the head of the family? Can't we meet?"
"Who wants to see my master?" A clear, somewhat careless voice came from the door.
Everyone looked at them together, even the three children scrambling for snacks in the corner of the hall did not raise their heads.
At the door of the side hall, a light blue shirt floated in.
The person who came was a young girl. She wore a refreshing Ruyi Guiyun bun with a golden hairpin in her hair. Her hair was smooth and ink. This hairpin was like the finishing touch. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old and could be broken by playing with it.
His face has a clear look with a touch of coldness. With just one glance, he seems to be able to see clearly the most evil thoughts in a person's heart. He is obviously not tall. Among the men in this room, he is the only
Just taller than the three children.
However, she is as cool and cold as a lotus plant emerging from the water, and her temperament is cool and elegant, making everyone unconsciously look up to her.
After a moment of shock, Pei Song quickly came to his senses. He pointed at Mu Qingyu and said to Pei Ji: "Aji, did you hear that? She said she is the head of the family?"
Pei Ji said: "Yeah!"
"Did you give her the family head order?"
"Hmm!"
Pei Song laughed angrily: "Pei Ji, are you stupid?"
Pei Ji said calmly: "What?"
Pei Song said angrily: "How can an outsider with unknown origins and not named Pei be the head of the family? You don't take the Pei family seriously at all!" He was not pretending, he was really angry.
There are so many children surnamed Pei in Liangzhou who all have the same ancestor. Even if he died, there are so many descendants, why can't he adopt an outsider? But he found an outsider. Even if he is an outsider, he is still a woman. Even if he is a woman, he is still a woman.
A yellow-haired girl!
Pei Ji said calmly: "Although her surname is not Pei, she is not an outsider, she is my granddaughter!"
"Bah, if the married daughter throws water, isn't the granddaughter considered an outsider?" Pei Song was so angry that he didn't care anymore!
Pei Wenlang and others stared directly at Pei Song, with expressions of shock, admiration and sympathy in their eyes.
Pei Song looked at him with such a weird look, and felt even more suffocated. Even they scolded them: "And you, are you trash? You came to the capital early, don't you know this? Got it.
Why don't you stop it? Don't you have a son? Don't you have a grandson? Which one can't be adopted? If it's too big, I have three great-grandchildren here, and they are all named Pei. They are the authentic Pei.
Family descendants!"
Mu Qingyu's eyes fell on the three children without leaving any trace.
At this time, each of the three children was holding a piece of snack in their hands and stuffing it into their mouths. Just because of Mu Qingyu's appearance, they subconsciously felt a little embarrassed and paused for some reason!
