The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 418 Sister-in-law Pei Yuehua
Although Pei Shiqing was an official under Li Mi's command, he served the Pei family's children under Li Mi's command in his own name, not the entire Pei family, so although Li Mi bestowed a huge mansion, it was Pei Shiqing's private property and had nothing to do with the Pei family.For the survival of their clansmen, they finally bought an official residence and farm in Pengcheng with their clan property to show their difference from Pei Shiqing.

This way of deceiving the ears and stealing the bell of the aristocratic family has been acquiesced by the courts of all dynasties.Because of the existence of this rule, direct collisions between the imperial court and the aristocratic families were avoided.

When an important child of an aristocratic family commits a serious crime, the imperial court usually negotiates with the aristocratic family before disposing of it.If they encounter a powerful emperor, the family will take the initiative to remove the child from the clan to show the family's 'innocence' and 'selflessness'.In this way, the imperial court's goal was achieved, and there was no need to break with the family, and the family sacrificed only one child, or perhaps a branch, and the family's interests would not be damaged too much, and the result was 'all happy'.

Pei Shiqing is currently Li Mi's Zhongshu Ling, which can be described as a high position and authority, so he and his family lived in the mansion in the city as a matter of course, while the tribe lived in some farms outside the city.

"Please also inform Mr. Pei that the envoys of the Sui Dynasty have asked to see him, and there is a message from the princess." The sixth child came outside the city and went straight to Pei Yin's house.

Pei Yin is the second son of the late Yushi doctor Pei Yun. If Pei Yun hadn't died at the hands of Yu Wenhuaji and Pei Ju had voted for Li Yuan, how could it be the unknown Pei Shiqing's turn to be the leader of the Pei family!Now the whole house is the foundation left by Pei Yun, so the sixth child is not worried that the concierge will betray his master.The important thing is that he also found out that Pei Yin and Pei Shiqing were not on good terms, and because of the eldest daughter Pei Qinghua and the second daughter Pei Yuehua, the two uncles and nephews almost broke up, so he dared to boldly declare his own name.

"Emissary of the Great Sui Dynasty?" The concierge turned pale with fright when he heard the name. He was really afraid of something. The concierge naturally knew the relationship between his master and the Sui Dynasty, but the master never thought of reuniting with the Sui Dynasty. What is the connection.It's just that he didn't expect the envoy of the Sui Dynasty to come to the door by himself.I don't know what to do for a while.

"Seeing or not seeing is up to Mr. Pei, and it has nothing to do with you. And even if Li Mi comes, forgive him, he won't dare to stop him." Lao Liu said proudly, this is the confidence brought to him by the powerful Tai Sui .

The concierge hesitated and said: "It's really a coincidence that the master and wife went to Xingyang this morning to pay respects to Mrs. Zheng's birthday. There is only the second girl at home. Let me report to the second girl."

"It's so good." The sixth child secretly called God help me, cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."

The second girl that the concierge talked about was Pei Yuehua who Pei Shiqing brought to Yecheng back then. Pei Shiqing's idea of ​​marriage failed, but instead angered Yang Tong, he slaughtered more than a thousand descendants of the aristocratic family pretending to be a scientific researcher.

Pei Shiqing regarded it as a great shame and a great humiliation, and has always held a grudge. In order to avenge the past, he offered Li Mi a plan to borrow Pei Yuehua's name and force him to marry Pei Qinghua. A plot failed, and Wang Shichong was annoyed, causing Pei Yuehua's marriage to fail again.

Wearing thick clothes, Pei Yuehua was sitting in the back garden with a stool, holding a collection of poems and essays in one hand, and subconsciously playing with a strand of hair with the other. There was a gentle and pure freehand brushwork in every gesture.

A pair of gazing gazes, looking at the plum tree from time to time, under the tree there is a four or five-year-old girl who is busy building a snowman with a small shovel.

The girl looks pink and jade-carved, her skin is crystal clear and tender, she is extremely beautiful and cute, and she laughs like silver bells while entertaining herself
Pei Yuehua looked up, but saw that the girl had already built a little snowman. She found three small stones and inlaid them on the snowman's head. The stones became the eyes and nose.Then he gave the prepared hat to the snowman, and the snowman immediately became alive.

The girl clapped her hands with joy and giggled.

Pei Yuehua pursed her lips and smiled: "Fang'er is so smart!"

The girl ran over happily, slipped down as far as possible, and when she was still a little distance away from Pei Yuehua, she staggered and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Oh!" Pei Yuehua screamed, and ran over to help her up.

"Thank you, auntie!" The girl was very polite.

"Fang'er, does it hurt from the fall?" Pei Yuehua asked anxiously, patting the snowflakes off her body lightly.

"It doesn't hurt." The girl looked at Pei Yuehua, her big watery eyes flickering.

"It's not a good boy to lie." Pei Yuehua pretended to be annoyed.

"Little aunt, I miss my mother so much..." The girl's eyes suddenly turned red as she spoke, tears came as soon as she said it, and her long eyelashes were wet.

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Pei Yuehua knelt down to comfort her.

"Where did the lady go?"

Pei Yuehua looked around ghostly, seeing no one around, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is looking for Fang'er's father."

"What is Daddy?" Fang'er stopped crying.

"What is daddy? What is daddy?" Even though he was full of knowledge, Pei Yuehua was speechless when asked this question.When his eyes touched the collection of poems, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and he said, "Fang'er's father is the person who wrote that book."

"Is Daddy a good person?"

Pei Yuehua could only hear his eyes spitting fire. If he hadn't been stupid when he was a child, he would go through dog holes and climb big trees to deliver messages for him, how could there be such a child?But that smelly man not only didn't know him anymore, he even put on a bad face when he was in Shenwu Palace.

She wanted to tell the girl that her father was a 'bad guy' and a 'bastard'.But facing those beautiful big eyes full of innocence, when he said it, it became: "Fang'er's father is a very good man."

"really?"

"Of course it's true." Pei Yuehua said against his will.

"What does daddy look like?" the girl asked again.

Pei Yuehua said very disgustingly: "It's very beautiful, very beautiful."

"Really?" The girl seemed attracted by this topic.

"Of course it is." Pei Yuehua didn't dare to say more on this topic, and said with some fear: "You can't tell others about these things. Otherwise, my aunt will be beaten to death."

The girl covered her mouth in fright and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay! Did my aunt teach you yesterday?" Pei Yuehua wanted to slap herself several times, how could the child's mouth be reliable.

"Three Character Classic?"

"Yes, the Three Character Classic written by your father."

"What does daddy look like?"

"It's very beautiful, very beautiful." Pei Yuehua was so depressed that he was dying, and then asked what the abuser was doing, and said with a straight face: "Endorsement."

"At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, habits are far away. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The way of teaching is to specialize..." The clear and natural voice of the girl is like the sound of nature, cleansing people's hearts.

Pei Yuehua listened absent-mindedly, she was so worried now.

This child memorizes the "Three Character Classic" every day, and now she knows that her father wrote it. One day, she will definitely slip up. Once her father continues to question her, she will be the one who will suffer the most.

Pei Yuehua's face turned pale with fright at the thought of the harsh family law that could kill half a person.

"Girl, someone from Da Sui is here." A maid came over and said softly.

"Who?" Pei Yuehua, who was half-feared to death, couldn't help asking, "Who are you talking about?"

"Da Sui sent envoys here." The maid said quickly.

Pei Yuehua's complexion turned pale again, that smelly man has sent someone to the door now, and his father is not here, what should he do.

She hesitated for a moment with uncertain face, pulled out a white gauze scarf from her waist to cover her beautiful face like flowers and jade, only revealing her graceful eyebrows like spring mountains and bright eyes like autumn water.She walked a few steps, and her eyes fell on the girl who was looking at her eagerly. She seemed to understand something, and said to the maid: "Please wait in the front hall first."

"Here." The maid stepped back respectfully.

"Fang'er!" Pei Yuehua was stunned after recruiting the girl, then bit his lip, and said, "Accompany my aunt to meet a guest."

"Auntie, where is the guest? Can I see you too?" The girl opened her big eyes and looked at her aunt strangely.

Pei Yuehua's eyes were red when he heard it, and he nodded firmly: "When you see the guests later, don't talk, understand?"

"Okay!" The girl nodded half understanding, and let her aunt lead her to the front hall.

In the front hall, the sixth child was sitting there, but in his mind, he was thinking about how to make the noble girl follow him to Yecheng without crying or making trouble.At this time, there was a ringing sound, and Lao Liu quickly stood up.

"Dare to ask, are you the envoy of the Sui Dynasty?" Pei Yuehua looked at Lao Liu and gave a slight salute.

"The Sui envoy Lu Yan met Miss Pei, and was ordered by the emperor to take her to Yecheng." Lu Yan saluted.

"Who's coming to pick me up?" The girl pursed her lips lightly, with a little vigilance in her big eyes.

Lu Yan just looked at the girl, and the purest and purest warmth surged in his heart.This little girl's pink and jade-carved face, with her round face, may be due to her tiredness from running, but her flushed face is so cute that people can't help but want to pinch it lightly.What shocked him even more was the girl's appearance, and he said hastily, "Go back to my son-in-law, and the Holy Majesty will ask his subordinates to come and pick you up back to Yecheng."

"Is Pei Qinghua okay?" Pei Yuehua asked suddenly
Lu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the other party wanted to avoid the girl, and immediately understood: "It's not good."

"What's wrong with her?" Pei Yuehua asked nervously.

Suddenly, Lu Yan thought of a way to take the girl away without incident, and said in a deep voice, "The two maids of hers are actually the dead soldiers of your Pei family. They were ordered to assassinate the Holy Lord, and she blocked the knife. The situation is quite bad now... I hope to see my loved ones."

"What? Are you serious?" Pei Yuehua was shocked, and his mind went blank.

Lu Yan said solemnly: "How dare my subordinates hide this matter?"

Thinking of Xiao Xifang's nightmares these two nights, Pei Yuehua was immediately upset and didn't know what to do.

"The young lady can't do without her family now. Originally, we wanted to invite Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei to accompany the young lady to go north, but the two are not here now, so I kindly ask you to come with us. I think you don't want to make my sister regret." Although Lu Yan I don't know what the relationship between Xiao Xifang and Pei Qinghua is, but just from the appearance, I know that she has a great relationship with Yang Yu, and seeing that Xiao Xifang is very dependent on Pei Yuehua and has a close relationship, I know that she must be a close relative, so I caught her The core of the close relatives began to be true and false.

"My parents just went out this morning, and now you let me go north with you. There may not be such a coincidence in the world, right?" Pei Yuehua was a child of a family after all, and quickly recovered from the shock.

"Miss Pei, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. Whenever troubled times come, the favorite thing for your aristocratic families to do is to make multiple bets in the form of marriage. Whoever wins the last laugh will benefit themselves. The power of my Great Sui Dynasty today only needs to be said casually by the Holy Majesty, the five surnames and seven clans and other aristocratic families will rush to send their daughters to Yecheng to curry favor with the Holy Majesty. So we don't have to cheat at all." Lu Yan disdainful Said.

Pei Yuehua's expression became even worse. Although Lu Yan's words were ugly, she also knew that Yang Tong cared about Xiao Xifang, and she wanted to take Xiao Xifang away no matter what.If Yang Tong had been interested in her, she would have been the mother of several children long ago, and she was still a big girl who couldn't get married.

Even now, as long as Yang Tong asks for money from the Pei family, the family will happily send him to Yecheng. That being the case, why does Yang Tong, the emperor, use shady means to lie to himself?

But she still asked: "With the current situation of the Sui Dynasty, as long as the Holy Majesty speaks to King Wei, I am afraid that King Wei will also send heavy troops to escort him. Don't you plan to inform King Wei?"

"We can't trust Li Mi, a villain." Lu Yan glanced at Pei Yuehua, and then said: "At the time when my sister was going north, Li Mi withdrew the army he was escorting on the way, but secretly asked Dou Jiande to send [-] fine horses to intercept on the way. If it hadn't been for Our army is good at fighting, I am afraid that my sister will not live in Yecheng."

"Then I will accompany Fang'er to Yecheng, but I don't know when we will leave?" Pei Yuehua only thought for a while before agreeing.She was also very worried about her sister.

"Time doesn't wait, we hope to set off tonight." Lu Yan thought for a while and said, "For safety's sake, please don't disturb other people, Miss Pei. Maid, it's best to have a trustworthy person."

"Okay, sir, please come to the back door to pick up Fang'er and me at night."
