The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 123 General Gan Appreciating the Spring Banquet
"My son, you are back."Mrs. Pei held Zhenbeihou's hand and did not let go.

Zhenbeihou nodded. He hadn't seen his family for so many years, so he was very excited and eager, "Yes, the baby is back."

"You're not at home, my wife is alone and has no one to call the shots. Ma Shi, the only one who can talk to me, has been kicked out. My wife is suffering. Qing'er is not living comfortably now." In fact, Mrs. Pei may not have deep feelings for Mrs. Ma and Pei Qing. It's just that she came from a low background. Back then, she had a lot of opinions on Mrs. Zhao, a noble lady. She always felt that Mrs. Zhao looked down on her. He even felt that Pei Yuan and Pei Yue, who came out of the Zhao family, also had a problem with him, and this was done deliberately.

Zhenbeihou suddenly woke up from the reunion after a long absence. He smiled bitterly in his heart. His mother was still the same as before. She only had herself in her heart and never thought about others. She didn't ask about her own health or her life at the border. I also didn't want to think about whether he was tired from traveling all the way, and I didn't want to be considerate to him so as not to make trouble for him or let him bother.

Mrs. Zhao changed her armor and came in wearing an autumn-colored homely gown. She opened the curtain and saw an awkward silence in the room. Both her son and daughter looked unhappy, and her husband looked melancholy. The Zhao family itself is a family of military exploits, most of the children have a bright temper, and the wind and frost at the border also made her upright, with a personality that can be said for one, but she is thin. Although Pei Yue doesn't look like Mrs. Zhao, her physique is The same, they are all very deceptive. Looking at her figure, everyone thinks she is a weak woman. Mrs. Zhao is also very gentle at home, but she treats Mrs. Pei very filially, but Mrs. Pei The old lady was afraid of her tightness.

In fact, Mrs. Pei is afraid of her for a reason. Back then, Mrs. Pei wanted to set rules for her daughter-in-law, so she asked her to kneel down and read the Book of Filial Piety to her. , The corner of the table was snapped off immediately, snapped off, snapped off!As for the well-known lady that was promised, this must be teasing me. The old lady fainted immediately. Since then, no matter how elegant Mrs. Zhao is, Mrs. Pei also feels that she will violently hurt others at any time.

"Greetings to mother. Since ancient times, men ruled outside and women ruled inside. If mother has any orders, please tell me. If I tell my husband, he won't understand." Mrs. Zhao sat gently beside Old Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei's hairs are about to stand up, does she dare to say that the concubine and the concubine's daughter are what she is talking about? You must know that when Mrs. Zhao was in the capital, neither of them could enter the gate of Zhenbeihou's mansion. He hesitated for a long time, and choked out the sentence "It's nothing, it's nothing".

Mrs. Zhao handed a cup of tea to Mrs. Pei, "Mother, drink tea".

Mrs. Pei took the teacup, she couldn't drink it, she even forgot what she wanted to say, she could only say "I...I'm going back."

"Gentlemen, Wuyu will send the old lady back for me." Mrs. Zhao was very considerate and thoughtful, and ordered the maid to send the old lady off.

"Later, what did you say later?" Ah Fu admired Mrs. Zhao very much, and what Pei Yue said was fun. He learned how the few people talked when they were talking, and the smiling Ah Fu lay on Yun Xiuyu's back , she pestered Pei Yue to ask.

Yun Xiuyu also sighed with emotion, "Listening to what you two said so vividly, I would regret it to death. Why did I get sick that day, otherwise I would have been able to appreciate Mrs. Zhao's demeanor."

Pei Yue picked up the fruit dew on the small table next to the bed and moistened her throat, "My family will hold a Spring Festival party in two days, when the time comes..."

"I'm going...I'm going" before Pei Yue finished speaking, Ah Fu continued.

Yun Xiuyu patted her with a smile, "What are you in such a hurry for?"

Ah Fu clasped his hands together like a nympho, "Ms. Zhao is the woman I admire the most now. I checked her winning records in the past two days. It's amazing."

In a few days, there will be a spring feast in Zhenbeihou's mansion. This banquet is to welcome Zhenbeihou and his wife, and also to show Pei Yuexiang a look. Although the daughter did stay at home for a long time, But Mrs. Zhao is not willing to marry her daughter off casually, so she naturally wants to take a good look at her.

Mrs. Zhao changed her military uniform and looked like a gentle lady. Ah Fu was also very excited, and suddenly got stuck, and was taken aback, "Hello, Mrs. Zhao."

"Princess Anle is fine too." Mrs. Zhao burst out laughing. Her appearance is not particularly outstanding in the Central Plains of the capital, and the life in the frontier made her skin look rough, but her smile is beautiful and generous. Hearty, this smile is very similar to Pei Yue.

"Call me Ah Fu, Pei Yue and I are good friends."

Mrs. Zhao nodded without twitching, and touched the top of Ah Fu's hair. Ah Fu noticed that there were some scars on her hands, which were not tender at all. "Ah Yue just led the girl from the Yun family in, so she must be in the garden behind."

Ah Fu hugged the admired person and patted his head, feeling very happy, went to find Pei Yue.

Pei Yue left her maid waiting at the door, just waiting to pick up Ah Fu, and the maid led Ah Fu to the corridor.

When I arrived, Pei Yue was showing off to Yun Xiuyu, "Look at this horse's mane, look at its hooves..."

Yun Xiuyu lacked interest in horses, just nodded in agreement, and when Ah Fu came, she immediately took a step back to make room for Ah Fu, and let Pei Yue explain to Ah Fu.

Sure enough, Pei Yue happily told Ah Fu again, "It's just a wild horse that my father's generals took over from northern Xinjiang. It took a whole day."

"Then is this for you?"
Pei Yue pouted, "I think so, but it's a pity that they took it in hard. The general didn't have a stable in his house, so he raised it in our house."

Ah Fu looked at the black horse in the stable, and nodded affirmatively, "This is definitely a good horse." Ah Fu actually doesn't know how to look at horses, what kind of hooves and what breeds, she may not know Pei Yue yet, but she It can be seen that the horse is in good spirits, it stays in this stable, no other horses will come close to it, and it looks a bit stern.

Pei Yue was in a daze, remembering what happened a few days ago.

Ever since this horse came to Pei's house, Pei Yue has been very fond of it. The more she looked at it every day, the more itchy she got. That day, she really wanted to ride this horse. She took the horse to the racecourse, took out all the caramel in her purse and put it on the horse. "Candy, sweet candy."

The horse snorted first, and Pei Yue moved forward holding the candy. The horse looked at the candy, looked at Pei Yue, lowered its head and rolled the candy with its tongue to eat. This is what I look like.

Pei Yue gently stroked its mane, walked towards the side of the horse, and kept touching the horse's neck, but the horse didn't show any disgust, then Pei Yue suddenly got on the horse, her martial arts and equestrian skills followed the Zhao family's The old man learned it, and flipped it up neatly.

There was something extra on Tang's body. Before Pei Yue could hold the rein tightly, the horse started to run, and it bumped while running. Pei Yue thought that this horse might be stronger, but she didn't expect this horse to have such a bad temper. People seem to be knocked apart, and their minds are dizzy. The only thing they can do is to hold on to the reins, or they will fall off and it will be over. The horse slaves are stupid. A little general rode it when he came, and no one else had touched it, so he didn't know how powerful it was. Now that it was over, the lady ran to the horse.

Even though Pei Yue had practiced martial arts, she couldn't bear such a long time of shaking, her hands gradually lost strength, she heard some sound in a trance, but she didn't know what happened, her hands lost strength, the reins loosened, Pei Yue Yue thought to himself, "It's terrible."

What greeted her was not the hard ground and the strong hooves of the horse, but the embrace of the man behind her. Pei Yue was a little unresponsive. The man shook the reins and scolded him for something. The horse calmed down and trotted obediently to the racecourse. side.

The man hugged Pei Yue down, but what he said was not consolation, but a strong "reckless, a horse has its own character, a good horse recognizes its owner, and will not be easily controlled by others, you should not force him."

"But it obviously ate my caramel." Pei Yue was suppressed for some reason, and retorted weakly.

The man froze, said "no way" and pulled the horse away.

Manu was so anxious just now that his face was full of sweat and tears, "General Gan Gan came today, and he took over that horse in northern Xinjiang. He said he spent a day with that horse."

Pei Yue couldn't help laughing when he read the word Gan, no wonder his horses don't eat caramel, isn't Gan just sugar?This man is so interesting.

A few days later, when Pei Yue went to the racecourse again, the man slave reported, "General Gan came yesterday, and asked where you bought the caramel you gave that horse last time? He bought caramel from the market, but the horse refused." eat."

Pei Yue felt more and more interesting about this person, and secretly smiled inwardly, "That's my unique secret system, if you want to know, let him ask me."

Not to mention whether little general Gan turned black when he heard this, but Pei Yue was about to laugh when he thought of it.

"Ah Yue, Ah Yue..." Ah Fu pushed Pei Yue, "What are you so silly about?"

"Ah...ah, it's nothing." Pei Yue came back to her senses, and she patted Ah Fu, "I just lost my mind."

"This horse is really good, if only I could ride it," Ah Fu said.

Pei Yue immediately shook his head and waved his hands, "This horse has its own owner, except for that General Gan, no one else will be allowed to ride it."

Afu nodded regretfully.

Yun Xiuyu smiled and said, "I have a question."

The two looked at Yun Xiuyu.

"How does Ah Yue know that the general's surname is Gan, and how does he know that this horse is not allowed to be ridden by others?"

Ah Fu's eyes lit up, he looked at Pei Yue and nodded, "Okay, tell me the truth, be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist."

Pei Yue blushed a little, and shook her head, "I...don't I want to ride this horse too? The slave just told me."

"Really?" Ah Fu was a little disbelieving.

Pei Yue nodded, "That's it."

The three little sisters are laughing and entangled here, A Fu and Yun Xiuyu are squeaking and Pei Yue is extorting a confession, the three of them twisted into a ball.

On the other side, at this beautiful spring feast, someone was planning the marriage of the daughter of the Northern Marquis of Zhenbei.
