072 [Entering Beijing]
On the fourth day of September, Hongyan came to visit.
At 2:00 p.m., Pei Yue and his three cavalry arrived outside the east gate of Kyoto.
After entering the city, he said to Qi Min, who was following him today: "Do you still remember what I told you?"
Qi Min sat straight on his horse and repeated: "Go to Taishitai Pavilion to find Mr. Shen, hand over the confession of the bandit leader to him, and tell Mr. Shen that the young master will return to Dingguogong's mansion today and ask for an invitation.
Madam Tai makes the decision for forty-seven lives in Green Willow Manor."
Pei Yue nodded and encouraged, "Among you, you are the smartest and have the best brains. Please handle this matter well and don't let me down."
Qi Min was deeply encouraged, his face turned red, and he said: "Master, please rest assured, I will do my best and live up to my mission!"
Pei Yue smiled and said: "I believe you, go ahead and be careful on the road."
Qi Min clapped his horse and ran away. Although he did not dare to gallop in Kyoto, the flying expression on his face showed the excitement and joy in his heart. It is said that since the young master came to the village, Qi Min, as one of the eight young men, is indeed
It has attracted more attention than before. For example, the daughter of the Zhao family in the east of Zhuangzi used to be lukewarm, but now she will shyly call out "Brother Qi Min" when they meet. But for Qi Min, these
If that's not enough, what he wants to do is to be the most capable follower around the young master!
However, Pei Yue obviously admired Deng Zai more, whether it was because he was the first to stand up to do something, or because of his character and ability. Qi Min felt that he was the smartest among the eight, and he made the fastest progress in practicing martial arts with Mr. Xi.
, there is no reason to be weighed down by Deng Zai's piece of wood for the rest of his life. Now is a good opportunity. In the past, it was Deng Zai's task to go to Taishitai Pavilion to find Mr. Shen. Now that the young master has assigned this matter to himself, isn't it right?
Does it mean his opinion of me is changing for the better?
Thinking of this, Qi Min felt that his whole body was filled with endless strength, and he secretly made up his mind to do this better than the young master imagined.
Pei Yue knew that this subordinate's mind was very lively, but he never expected that this guy's thinking was so divergent.
He said to Mr. Xi: "Sir, what do you think is the probability of my idea?"
Mr. Xi pondered: "You have the restriction of the father-son relationship. If you want to completely overthrow him, you have to die together, and you also have to take into account the reactions and choices of all the forces in the court. Naturally, it is extremely difficult. But what you are thinking now is
Very good, leaving a gap for the other party. With his character, he will definitely choose to give in in the end. But, Brother Yue, Pei Rong is your father after all, and his character is capricious. Are you really sure you can control him? "
Pei Yue urged his horse to move forward slowly. After a moment of silence, he said, "I will make him bow his head."
Mr. Xi sighed softly: "Actually, you never thought you would reach this point before, right?"
Pei Yue looked slightly confused. Since traveling through time for more than half a year, he has indeed been pushed away by the people and things around him.
Solving the problem of Aunt Liu was just for her own survival. She left the house and lived in seclusion for three years, just to silence others and prevent others from labeling her unfilial. The tragic scenes last night,
He finally understood that this era did not even have the most basic rules, and was full of forest laws of the jungle. As an outsider, if he wanted to avoid being bullied and humiliated by others, and even put his life in danger, he could only continue to do so.
To become stronger, there is no second way.
The world is like this and cannot allow him to accumulate wealth step by step.
After finishing the current matter, he will go to Gu Liang as soon as possible. Comparatively speaking, this military boss is much more reliable than Pei Rong.
Hugging thighs is not a shameful thing, at least to Pei Yue it is nothing.
The two came to Zhuquefang in the east city and dismounted outside the Dingguo Gate on Fuqian Street.
Four disciples were standing on the stone steps chatting. One of them said with sharp eyes and doubts: "Everyone, is that our third young master?"
The other person also looked up and said uncertainly: "It doesn't look like it. It's not like we haven't seen the third young master before."
Half a year has passed, and Pei Yue's appearance has indeed changed a bit. He has grown a lot taller, and his posture is much normal. Even his clothes are not luxurious but they are well-fitting. He is completely different from the former bastard who always wore old clothes.
When Pei Yue and Mr. Xi came forward, the disciples confirmed their guesses, and each of them stepped forward with strange expressions and said, "I would like to welcome the third young master."
Pei Yue said calmly: "You don't have to be polite. Please come in and tell the ancestors that my husband and I have something to disturb us."
A disciple quickly smiled and said: "The third young master is a member of our own family, so there is no need to pass it on, right?"
Pei Yue shook his head and said: "The etiquette cannot be abolished, please pass it on."
As he spoke, he took out a ten-tael silver note from his sleeve, handed it to the man's hand, and said with a smile: "I would like to thank you all for tea."
The disciples looked at each other, feeling both happy and surprised in their hearts. It was really surprising that the third young master had changed so much after half a year away from home. When one of the elders bowed and said: "Young man, go and report it now, please."
The third young master and this gentleman are waiting for tea in the concierge."
Sitting in the familiar concierge, Pei Yue felt as if he was in another world.
It was here half a year ago that as a descendant of Dingguo, he first came into contact with the tip of the iceberg of this world. He met some people and showed his eloquence. Although he was the third young master in the family at that time, except for a few people, no one
Do you really take him seriously again? Even a front yard manager can put on airs in front of him. Now looking at Li Rong who has rushed over, talking to himself with a smile on his face, Pei Yue's face is as calm as usual, and there is no trace of emotion in his heart.
Not at all complacent.
Because he felt that just this was not enough.
After a stick of incense was played, a steward's wife came to the concierge and said to Pei Yue: "Third Young Master, this gentleman, the old lady invites you two to meet at Ding'an Hall."
Pei Yue stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law Pei."
The woman quickly turned aside and said with a smile: "The third young master can't help me. How can I dare to accept your courtesy? If the old lady finds out, it will be fine."
Pei Yue smiled and said: "If it hadn't been for the help of Sister-in-law Pei Wu, it would have been difficult for me to get out of this predicament. This gift is a thank you."
Pei Wu's family members hurriedly shied away, and they were also a little puzzled. It had only been half a year, and the young man in front of them had changed a lot. Thinking about the incident outside Mingyue Pavilion, she was also questioned by Mrs. Li afterwards. Fortunately, she was also
The old man in the mansion was not punished. Although he suffered some grievances, the fifth Pei family had no resentment towards Pei Yue. Instead, they felt that this young man would have great fortunes in the future.
Now when I look at it, it’s true!
She led the two of them outside the ceremony gate, and then saw a gentle and pleasant maid waiting there with two little girls.
Pei Yue felt happy and stepped forward and said, "Miss Wen Yu, I haven't seen you for half a year. How are you doing recently?"
Wen Yu looked at Pei Yue who had changed greatly, her heart was filled with knots of tenderness, but she didn't show it on her face. She lowered her head slightly and said softly: "Thank you, Third Young Master, for remembering me. I am living a good life. I think Third Young Master's life in the village should be the same."
Okay. In the past six months, the old lady has been thinking about the third young master very much, and has asked the servant several times if she has any letters from the third young master."
Pei Yue didn't believe this, because he was very sure that the village had an informant from Pei Taijun, but the incident last night probably hadn't been reported yet.
Of course, he would not expose Wen Yu's polite words. He was still grateful to this maid, so he smiled and said: "I also miss my ancestor very much, so I came to pay her respects today. Miss Wen Yu, just find anyone
It's fine if the little maid comes to guide you, why do you have to go there yourself?"
Wen Yu glanced at him quietly and said, "The old lady is anxious to see you and is afraid that others will not do her best, so she specially invited the maid here to greet you. Third Young Master, Mr. Xi, please."
Pei Yue and Mr. Xi looked at each other, a little curious in their hearts. It seemed that Taijun Pei truly trusted this maid and did not even hide Mr. Xi's identity from her.
The atmosphere was very harmonious along the way. Wen Yu was obviously happier than usual, and she didn't even notice it herself.
Entering Ding'an Hall, Pei Taijun was sitting on the high platform, and Mrs. Li was standing next to her. Except for the maids, the juniors in the mansion were not here.
Pei Taijun met Mr. Xi first and asked him to sit down on the chair under his left hand. He also ordered someone to bring tea.
Then, the old lady in her 60s looked at her tall and tall figure, her handsome face, and her grandson who was completely different from half a year ago, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Pei Yue paid homage and said in a clear and calm voice, "My grandson, please pay your respects to our ancestors."
Pei Taijun said repeatedly: "Get up quickly, good boy."
Pei Yue stood up and said that he should pay his respects to Mrs. Li now. After all, she was his aunt.
Although everyone knows that the two of them cannot deal with each other, how can etiquette be ignored?
However, Pei Yue just stood quietly, not even looking at Li.
Li's face gradually became gloomy.
