Delicate Flower - Chapter 238

[Chapter 236 Mother and Son]

When Pei Yan was sitting absent-mindedly in the discussion hall, Pei Tong had already walked to the wing where he lived.

Before he could enter the gate of the yard, he heard a burst of giggling.

Pei Tong lives in this yard with his younger brother Pei Fei, second uncle Pei Xuan, and younger cousin Pei Hong.

His second uncle and third uncle were completely different types of people.

If his third uncle was the day of summer, then his second uncle was the day of winter.

When grandfather left, the second uncle not only did not fight with the third uncle, but also maintained the friendship between brothers everywhere. Even in their eldest house, they also received a lot of care from the second uncle, otherwise he and his younger brother would definitely have a harder time than now. .

Hearing this voice, he knew that most of the six-year-old Pei Hong was playing with the servants in the yard.

Pei Tong felt agitated for a while.

When his father died, Pei Fei was only twelve years old, and she was also a little child who didn’t know the world, but she already knew that they had no father, and she knew how to comfort her mother who cried all night, and she knew how to study hard and help him. .

The naive ignorance of the past is gone.

Thinking of this, his eyes could not help but get wet.

But thinking of the attitude of the third uncle towards their orphans and widowed mothers, he sneered a few times inwardly, put on a smiling face, and then pushed the door and walked in.

“Eldest young master!” A few servants who were playing with Pei Hong immediately stepped forward to salute him when they saw him, and Pei Hong happily called him “eldest brother”.

Pei Tong smiled gently and touched the top of Pei Hong’s head, and said, “Why are you still playing in the yard at this time? Where’s your wet nurse? Are you sweating? Be careful if you catch a cold. This is on the mountain, so find someone when you catch a cold. Doctors are not easy.” The last sentence was aimed at the little servants who were playing with Pei Hong.

A few servants bowed their heads in awe and agreed.

The scene where there was laughter and laughter just now suddenly became dignified and sluggish.

Pei Hong’s face was flushed red, and the corners of his mouth were about to say something. The second master, Pei Xuan, took the half-turned book and walked out of the hall with a smile and said, “Atong is back! Don’t be angry, I agree. Ah Hong played for a while. I watched it in the hall, nothing happened.”

Pei Tong smiled embarrassedly, and said, “I was reckless!”

“It’s okay! It’s okay!” Pei Xuan hehe Laughing, he patted Pei Tong on the shoulder, and said, “You are the eldest brother, and that’s exactly what you should be. Your father used to take care of me in the same way.” As

soon as he finished speaking, both of them looked slightly gloomy. .

After a long while, Pei Xuancai sighed softly: “Don’t think too much, your third uncle is arrogant and disdain to explain to others, but he certainly has no bad intentions, he is in charge, he can’t just take care of one of our rooms, he must look at the overall situation, You are his nephew, you should understand him and support him.”

“I know!” Pei Tong whispered, his mood was obviously very low, “So even if my uncle wrote to me and asked me, I don’t care about anything. I didn’t say it.” After speaking, he suddenly cheered up as if he had remembered something, smiled brightly at Pei Xuan, and said loudly, “The heaven will give great responsibility to the people, and you must first work hard on your will and work your muscles and bones. Second uncle, don’t worry, I will not be defeated by this little ordeal in front of me. I will definitely study hard, make a name for myself like my father, and honor officials and ministers.”

“Well!” Pei Xuan smiled at him encouragingly. Laughing, just a closer look will reveal that his smile is a little stiff.

It’s a pity that Pei Tong is also at the moment with different hearts and minds. How can he observe Pei Xuan carefully?

He only heard Pei Xuan say to him, “Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?”

Pei Tong smiled and said, “Master Gu is here,

please come over and talk for a while, then it’s late.”

Pei Xuan was very happy to hear this, and said, “Master Gu is very good both in terms of knowledge and personality. If you have the opportunity, you should ask him more for advice.” Having said that, he pondered for a moment and said, “Here I am. There is also a good Duan Inkstone. When I get someone to give it to you, you can give it to Master Gu. He is your uncle and brother, and you will have to deal with him in the future. When my sister gets married, I can feel more at ease.”

His second uncle is really an honest man!

Pei Tong couldn’t help laughing softly: “Second Uncle, no wonder people say that you value Second Aunt, it seems that I will learn more from you in the future.”

Pei Xuan patted Pei Tong’s back hard with a smile and said with a smile “You stinky boy, you dare to make fun of your uncle, you can write 10,000 big characters for me later!” Pei Tong hurriedly

smiled

and begged for mercy: “Don’t dare!”

Xuan hugged his sweaty son back to the house, and Pei Tong also returned to the west wing behind him and his younger brother.

It’s just that before he had time to push the door, the door creaked open, revealing Pei Fei’s childish but somewhat upright face.

“Brother, you’re back!” he said happily, “I’ve been listening to the movement outside. If you don’t come back, I’ll go find you.”

Pei Tong warmly hugged his brother who only reached his shoulder, Said: “Didn’t I come back? Have you finished your homework? Why didn’t you go out to play with A Hong?”

Pei Fei greeted her brother into the room, motioned to the close-fitting little boy to fetch water to change Pei Tong’s clothes, and muttered in a low voice Said: “I don’t like to play with A Hong, he doesn’t understand anything, I have to let him!”

Pei Tong’s hand holding the handkerchief froze, and then he smiled nonchalantly: “Then just stay there. Doing homework in the wing. A manly man, schoolwork is the most important thing.”

Pei Fei nodded in approval.

Pei Tong freshened up, changed his clothes, and told his younger brother to stay in the house: “I’ll go and say hello to my mother.”

Mrs. Pei got the Zhaoming Temple because Pei You and the host of Zhaoming Temple are friends outside the party. The host treated her differently. She neither lived in the West Meditation Room with her son, nor in the East Meditation Room with Pei Laoan, but lived in a quiet room not far from here, which was vacated by the host of Zhaoming Temple.

This is also why Yu Tang has been here for several days without seeing Mrs. Pei.

Pei Feiwen said happily, “I’m going too.”

Pei Tong did not stop her and took her younger brother to her mother’s residence.

Mrs. Pei was copying Buddhist scriptures under the lamp, and when she saw her two sons coming over together, she put down her pen with a smile, accepted their salute, and asked them, “It’s so late, why are you two here? What’s the matter? Is something wrong?”

Pei Tong shook his head with a smile, but the corner of his eyes swept across his mother’s temples inadvertently, and found that silver light flashed.

He suddenly forgot to answer his mother’s words.

If he’s not mistaken, mother… I don’t know when white hair has appeared on her head.

His nose is sour.

My mother is only forty years old!

If the father is still alive and the mother is held in the palm of the hand like a jewel like a jewel, how can the white hair grow?

He murmured: “Auntie, I’m going to see Gu Chaoyang today.”

Madam Pei glanced at the eldest son, implying that he should not say this in front of Pei Fei.

Pei Tong obediently stopped the topic, and chatted with her mother and brother for a while, and when the eldest wife found an excuse to give Pei Fei to get them snacks, her face sank, and she said: ” Gu Chaoyang came to Lin’an? What is he looking for from you?”

“He said that the third uncle told him that his father had left a last word before his death…” Pei Tong told the eldest wife of the meeting between the two.

The eldest wife jumped up immediately, patted the table and said, “Pei Yan is a shit! Although I was not in front of the bed when your father died, I knew exactly what happened to your father before he died. He said a word. I didn’t have time to say a word… I didn’t have time to say a word…” She said, recalling the scene of that day, she couldn’t help crying bitterly, “Your father, how unwilling! You are not in front of him, you My brother is not in front of him, and I am not in front of him…”

Pei Tong asked a question that he had always been suspicious of: “When my father died, I happened to be in the academy, and A Fei was sent by her grandfather to deliver things to the third uncle, why do you Not with my father? Although my father died of a sudden illness, he should feel uncomfortable before his death. He is not feeling well, shouldn’t he find his mother? Why did he find his grandfather instead?”

Even at this time, there is still a sentence He didn’t dare to ask.

His grandfather was the suzerain of the clan, and he would never leave Lin’an. His father had just been promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was about to enter the cabinet. Just when the spring breeze was proud of his horse’s hoof, his grandfather came to Beijing quietly, even the third uncle do not know.

And after his father’s death, his grandfather did not send his father’s coffin to the south. He could understand that it was because it was unlucky for Chang Pei to send a funeral to the younger generation, but his grandfather lived in the temple the day after his father’s death. UU Reading www.sonicmtl .com also ordered the third uncle to help the coffin to go south, the second uncle returned to his hometown for funeral, but the grandfather quietly returned to Lin’an just like when he came.

In the past, he just thought that his grandfather, the white-haired man, sent black and white people, and he couldn’t stand it.

Especially his third uncle, who actually said that it was his father’s last words to let him study at home for ten years after the imperial examination.

That being the case, when her mother wanted to send him back to her grandfather’s house to study, why didn’t he say it in front of the clan?

Pei Tong felt like a big rock was pressed against his chest, and looked at his mother with burning eyes.

The eldest wife was stunned, and it took a while to regain her senses. There was a little panic in her eyes, and she stammered: “Yes, yes! Your father is not feeling well, why didn’t you find me, but your grandfather. Your father has risen. Officer, he may become (be) the highest-ranking person in the Pei family. Your father and I are elated. But when your grandfather came, he was not at all happy. He must think that your father was disobedient and ruined his ancestors. Rules. If your father doesn’t become the eldest son, the Pei family will either have to re-elect the ancestral house, or choose one of your second uncle or third uncle to inherit the family business. But your second uncle can’t, he only promises Here’s an idea; your third uncle was fighting with Jiang Hua at the time, and a small junior from the seventh rank was able to stand up to the third rank. They all said that your third uncle had a bright future and would surpass your father in the future, and his career was limitless. But your grandfather said something. If you don’t send the land, let your third uncle take leave and help the coffin go south… Besides, doesn’t your father have no son? What about your son? If your grandfather wants to favor your third uncle, he should stay in the capital. …”
