stern wife

Chapter 117

He picked up one of the things and began to introduce:
"This is silkworm silver silk soft armor. I bought it with a lot of money. I have tried it myself. It is invulnerable to swords and guns, water and fire. If you wear it, your life will be half guaranteed!"

"This is a hidden weapon. As long as you press it lightly, a poisonous needle will be shot out. The poison on the needle will seal the throat when it sees blood. One needle can kill a person. There are nearly [-] needles in it. I also find animals to try it." pass!"

"Oh, and this..."

This not-so-small round table is full of things, and you can tell how much thought the people who collected them put into it.

Pei Runzhi was very moved, and at the same time regretted that he had hit Pei Yanhe a little too hard just now.

But Pei Yanhe didn't care at all, after introducing the things one by one, he wrapped them up carefully, pushed towards Pei Runzhi's eyes, and said seriously:
"Brother, you must return safely."

Pei Runzhi touched the burden in front of him, and nodded slightly:

"must."

Early the next morning, all the sacrifices were sent into the ancestral hall like flowing water, Pei Xingshan also got up early, and went to the ancestral hall to see how the arrangement was.

Unexpectedly, when he walked into the ancestral hall, he saw that Pei Runzhi, Pei Yuxuan, Pei Xiaoran and even Pei Yanhe had arrived early, all with plain faces and well-dressed clothes.

Seeing Pei Xingshan coming, we went up to say hello together.

Pei Xingshan couldn't find any faults. He looked at the ancestral hall and found that everything was ready, so he said directly:
"Follow me and kowtow to the ancestors."

Although the Pei family has worked hard and made great achievements, it is not considered a top-notch family in Beijing. Because of the relationship between generations of soldiers, there are not many side branches, and the family population is relatively small, so it has not grown.

But the population is small, but there are many memorial tablets, row after row, all of which are the cornerstones for the Pei family to have what it is today.

At this time, the sky had not yet lit up, and only a few candles were lit in the ancestral hall. The flickering candles reflected the passing names on the memorial tablets, making it look extraordinarily dark and depressing.

Pei Xiaoran's eyes swept over the tablets in front of him one by one, and finally landed on the inscriptions of the former emperors on both sides.

The book on the right: Serve the country faithfully, and the book on the left: Even though death is a glory, the above is written by the head of the previous generation of the Pei family:

Loyalty is the same.

A word of loyalty is more important than life to the Pei family.

Pei Xiaoran raised his face, looking at the big "loyalty" character painted with red lacquer that looked like blood, and was slightly lost in thought.

She had never lived up to this word in her previous life, but died on the charge of 'disloyalty'.

Loyalty to the emperor is the unbreakable ancestral motto of the Pei family, but the ancestors should never have thought that their descendants did not die at the hands of the enemy, but instead were sent to the guillotine by the king they were loyal to. Instead of dying on the battlefield, they died On the land of your own country!
In this life, she will still not violate the ancestral precepts left by her ancestors.

It's just that she will be loyal to the loyal king.

As for those ungrateful and unfaithful people... even if she sits on the throne, she will not be loyal any more!

"Xiaoran, it's time to burn incense."

Suddenly there were three more lit incense sticks in front of him, Pei Xiao suddenly recovered his senses, reached out to take the incense handed over by his elder brother, as if he had made up his mind, and bowed deeply to the memorial tablets in front of him.

At the same time, a slender figure hurried past Qingshi Road, heading towards Fushouyuan, followed by three maids.

Although the three maids were dressed as maids, they were all extremely beautiful, their movements were swaying, their expressions were frivolous, and they didn't look like serious people.

Arriving in front of the Fushouyuan, the slender woman raised her chin and said to the gatekeeper:
"Open the door, I want to see the old lady."

The gatekeeper woman rubbed her eyes, thinking that she hadn't woken up, it took a long time to realize, and hurriedly saluted:
"It turns out that the aunt is here, but unfortunately, the old lady is not in good health these days. Please come back, my aunt."

"Even me?"

The mother-in-law looked embarrassed and said:
"The old lady said, but no one was seen."

The person who came was none other than Aunt Cheng from the Cheng family who had just recovered after being 'washed' by the old lady.

After hearing this, Cheng's slender eyebrows frowned slightly. Although she has been recovering from her injuries, the girls below are not idle, and she knows exactly what happened outside.

After thinking about it, he took off a pure gold twisted gold bracelet from his thin white wrist, stuffed it into the woman's hand, and said with a smile:
"I also ask Mom to be flexible. I really have something important to discuss with the old lady. If I meet the old lady and blame me, I will say it myself. I will definitely not hurt my mother."

The woman quietly weighed the gold bracelet in her hand, it was quite heavy, she turned sideways with a smile on her face and said:

"Where is the concubine? If the concubine wants to find the old lady for something important, the servants will not dare to stop her."

Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and led the three maids behind him through the courtyard gate, and hurried in.

The old lady was awakened by the nightmare of being strangled to death by her eldest son in the middle of the night, and she couldn't fall asleep since then. At this time, she was leaning against the kang head, leaning on the soft pillow, half-closed her eyes and recuperating.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming into her ears, the old lady was startled. She thought it was the scoundrel who had come, so she hurriedly leaned over to look, only to see that it was Mrs. Cheng who hadn't seen him for a long time, walking in.

The old lady's complexion sank, and she shouted:

"Bring me the woman who guards the door!"

She can't control her son or those lowly dog ​​slaves, can she?After saying that no one will be seen, you dare to let people in, and you don't want to live anymore? !
"Mother, don't be angry. If you want to blame it, don't blame the mother who guards the gate. Just blame the concubine. If the concubine said she had something important to look for her, then the mother would not dare not let her go."

Cheng winked at the girl who wanted to go out to call the gatekeeper's mother, the girl understood, and quietly retreated.

Mrs. Cheng walked to the edge of the kang and sat down, patted the old lady's hand on the brocade quilt comfortingly, and said softly:

"The concubine has heard about the previous incident, and Pei Xiaoran is also very capable. He attracted the saint to come up without saying anything, and even made the old lady suffer. Now that he has two nuns bestowed by the saint, he is so proud. I heard that Killed all the snow lotus in Wu's yard, that snow lotus was sent by the old lady to serve Wu, and Pei Xiaoran clearly didn't take us seriously by doing this."

If it was in the past, after hearing this provocation, the old lady would have jumped into a rage and scolded the little beast.

But now, the old lady did not respond abnormally, she just lowered her eyelids slightly and looked at her with an unfriendly expression.

Cheng's heart skipped a beat, she was full of doubts, thinking why did this old woman suddenly become so calm and difficult to coax?
But she hasn't accomplished a major event, and she hasn't reported her grievances, how could she be timid because of this?
