Zhongli City is small, and even Xiao Mohe, who is ranked below one person in the army and above ten thousand people, is only a two-person courtyard in the city, let alone a general like Pei Zilie.
Pei Zilie's house is located in the downtown area of the city, but it is not directly on the street. Instead, it needs to pass through an alley. Because this alley is quite narrow, so although it faces the street, except for the people living on both sides of the alley,
No one else will come. It is for this reason that Pei Zilie's residence, located at the end of the alley, is only a small courtyard, but it is quite quiet and has its own tranquility amidst the bustle.
If you really need something to describe it, in Li Xingchen's opinion, Liu Yuxi's "Inscription on a Humble Room" is the most suitable.
"This is it." Xiao Shilian raised his head and glanced at the plaque, "Although I have never been here, I heard that these are the three words written on the plaque at his house."
Li Xingchen followed Xiao Shilian's gaze and saw that the three characters "Chengyuanzhai" were written with sharp edges and corners. People often say that "the characters are like the people they are", regardless of the other characters of the person who wrote these three characters.
No matter what, but at least it should be very decisive.
The word "Chengyuan" contains lofty ambitions in its subtlety. It is low-key and restrained without losing the spirit of conquering the world. It also sets off the image of the master. Even Xiao Shilian, who does not have much affection for Pei Zilie, also
I couldn't help but secretly shout "Hello".
In the yard, under a thick tree, the wind of the knife howled, drawing out silvery rays of light one after another, and even the surrounding air was ignited by the rapidly passing blade. And the knock on the door happened to be
It sounded at this time, but the man wielding the sword did not stop, as if he was completely immersed in the roaring light of the sword and didn't care about anything outside.
An old servant glanced at the master wielding the knife, shook his head slightly, opened the door, and soon walked back to the direction of the master. It seemed that he felt someone approaching, and the whistling wind of the knife stopped reluctantly.
, the wielder of the sword is none other than the mighty electric general Pei Zilie.
But at this time, Pei Zilie was naked, with beads of sweat on his forehead because of practicing swordsmanship. When he saw the old servant walking over, he waved his hand with some dissatisfaction and got hit by the knife, frowned and said: "Uncle Ping, what's going on?
"
"Sir, the son of General Wu Yi is outside the door asking to see you." Uncle Ping is obviously used to this.
"No..." Pei Zilie was about to subconsciously refuse, but then he remembered Wu Mingche's instructions and expectations to him on the ship, and hurriedly swallowed the last word "meet", "Uncle Ping, please invite guests.
Come in, I’m going to change my clothes.”
Uncle Ping was startled for a moment and looked at his young master with some surprise. Pei Zilie has always been aloof and unsmiling. Although he fought bravely, he didn't have many brothers and sisters. Among the familiar generals in the army, only Wu Mingche could barely do it.
Forget it, but Wu Mingche and Pei Zilie have an elder-to-younger relationship. On weekdays, of course it is Pei Zilie who visits Wu Mingche.
Therefore, there are not many guests in this house all year round, and most of them are turned away by Pei Zilie. Today, seeing the young master in the mood to see guests, it really surprised the old servant of the Pei family.
You must know that what your master is most worried about is that the young master's character will make it difficult for him to advance in his official career, so he sent the young master into the army. After all, compared to literary skills, martial arts is more genuine to a certain extent.
In the army, Pei Zilie indeed relied on his own ability to reach the position of General Dianwei step by step. He can be regarded as a young man. However, it is precisely because of his character that it is not so easy for him to continue to move forward.
The upper-level generals in the army would not like to have such an unsociable guy among their ranks.
After all, the battlefield is not a battlefield for one person, and most generals with Pei Zilie's personality cannot control him. This is why Wu Mingche is the only one who has anything to do with Pei Zilie in the army. I am afraid that only Wu Mingche can suppress Pei Zilie.
.
When the master of the family asked Uncle Ping to take care of Pei Zilie, he also wanted this old servant who was familiar with the world to remind Pei Zilie. Today, seeing that Pei Zilie has finally changed, Uncle Ping breathed a sigh of relief. At least he can go back and explain to the master.
"I heard that few people can come in to Pei Zilie's house. We are lucky today." Xiao Shilian said to Li Xinchen in a low voice while looking at the simple little courtyard.
Li Xingchen nodded, but didn't say much. Although Pei Zilie didn't like worldly things, it didn't mean that he was just an idiot. Even if he didn't think about himself, he had to think about the entire Pei family behind him, and his descendants.
Consider that with Wu Mingche leaving, the Nanchen Army will only follow Xiao Maha's lead. As long as Pei Zilie still has some brains, this door must be opened today.
But what really surprised Li Xingchen was that Pei Zilie was at home instead of going out to have fun like the other generals. You must know that even children from aristocratic families such as Xiao Shilian tried every means to relax after the war. This Pei Zilie was really different.
, which also made Li Xingchen think highly of him.
It is better for such people to be teammates rather than enemies.
"You two are here to visit. Pei didn't know beforehand and missed the welcome from afar. Please forgive me." Pei Zilie put on a coat and hastily wiped off the sweat beads and walked out quickly, holding his hands towards Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen.
Xiao Shilian is Xiao Mohe's eldest son and the only son he keeps by his side, while Li Xingchen is the chief staff member of the Xiao family. When these two young people stop here, they do not represent the two of them, but Xiao Mohe.
.
Pei Zilie also breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen came to the door. For Pei Zilie, it was easier than lowering his head to find Xiao Mohe. Of course, for Xiao Mohe, no matter whether the two parties had a happy conversation or not, this "
I'm afraid the good reputation of "Corporal Courtesy and Virtue" will never go away.
Although I don’t know what Xiao Shilian and Li Xingchen’s intention was in coming to visit, as they are guests, Pei Zilie also comes from a noble family, so he will not lose sight of hospitality. He immediately invited the two people into the hall: "This humble house is humble, you two
Come, please don't laugh."
"General Pei found such a paradise in the bustling city. It is quiet in the bustle and has the style of a great hermit. From the perspective of artistic conception, if it is said to be despicable, then I would not like it." Li Xingchen couldn't help laughing and bowed his hands in salute.
.
Several of the Xiao family followers followed and placed the jars of wine they had brought with them on the ground. Xiao Shilian raised his hand and said, "He came to the door in a hurry without informing us. We should have asked General Dianwei not to be offended. These are the jars of wine hidden in the house.
My daughter is red, a small gift is not respectful, so please accept it with pleasure from General Pei."
Pei Zilie was fond of drinking. When he heard the name of "Nerv Hong", his eyes lit up. This Nerrong was just emerging during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Because it was brewed less, it was quite valuable. It was usually only taken out when there was a happy event in the family.
Invite guests to a banquet, and "Ner'er's Red" is a specialty of Kuaiji. It has never been heard of in other places. These jars of Ner's Red must have been transported thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally have a unique symbol for the people of Jiangnan.
