foster husband

Chapter 5
If we want to clarify the grudge between Pei Tianshu and Mrs. Pei, we have to talk about the family situation of the Pei family. This family situation refers to 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago, the third child of the Pei family, Pei Tianshu, was eight years old, the second child, Pei Tianheng, was 20 years old, and the eldest, Pei Tiancheng, was 13 years old.

Well, everyone is young.

Even the old lady Pei at that time was only in her thirties, she dressed up a little, and she still had the charm of the middle-aged Xu Nian.Therefore, she cannot be called Mrs. Pei, but Mrs. Pei.

Mrs. Pei always has a heart to show off her charm, but she can't dress up, even if she dresses up, no one appreciates it.Just because she is a widow, and since she became pregnant with their third child, she has become a widow.

Therefore, Pei Tianshu is a posthumous child.

We have to count back eight years. At that time, Mrs. Pei had been silent for five years since she gave birth to her second child, Pei Tianheng, before she got Pei Tianshu. It stands to reason that she should love this child more.

But Mrs. Pei is not a person who plays cards logically, and there is a sorceress living next door to them, so I don't know what they are arguing with her.Anyway, it was only nine days after Master Pei passed away, and Mrs. Pei firmly believed that it was her enemy who killed her husband.

Pei Tianshu's misery was doomed since he was still an embryo.

Eight months after Master Pei's death, Pei Tianshu croaked to the ground, and Mrs. Pei was going to drown him in a barrel.Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Pei family has quick eyesight and quick hands, snatched his younger brother, and then winked at the second child, signaling him to coax Mrs. Pei.

In the days without Pei Tianshu, Pei Tianheng had been the youngest child for several years, so he was naturally favored, and with a few words, Mrs. Pei's resentment was resolved.

On the other hand, Pei Tiancheng went to the sheep breeder in the village to beg for goat milk, and fed Pei Tianshu to make her belly round.

In the days that followed, Pei Tiancheng was wary of his old mother and Gong Tong, and insisted on keeping Pei Tianshu by his side.

So Pei Tianshu is his elder brother's grandma.Of course, goat milk is used.

It is said that Pei Tiancheng nursed the child until Pei Tianshu was five years old, and told him, "If mother hits you, you will find your second brother. If you can't find your second brother, you will run away." Then he packed his bags and prepared to leave. Go to Kyoto, go to the future.

At that time, the capital was still in Chang'an, and the little Pei Tianshu didn't know how far Yiyang was from Chang'an, but he knew clearly that without the protection of his elder brother, his life would be difficult.

So the mother-in-law had tears in her eyes, and her heart was full of reluctance.

Pei Tiancheng couldn't bear it either. He hugged his younger brother and cried loudly, and even ran to his old mother and said that if she couldn't take care of his younger brother, she would be sorry for his dead father.

Pei Tiancheng escalated his younger brother's question to a higher level. Although Mrs. Pei was in shock, she had to agree.

In the end, Pei Tiancheng set out on the road with peace of mind.In fact, what can I do if I don't feel at ease, he is a half-grown boy, and he can't stay at home every day to nurse the child.

He has his ambitions, he has his ideals, and he has people he wants to protect.

——The youngest, one day the eldest brother will bring the best things in the world to you.

With such thoughts in mind, Pei Tiancheng went higher and higher step by step.But he didn't know until his death that the youngest he wanted to protect was no longer the original one.

Pei Tianshu's life became more and more difficult after Pei Tiancheng left. It was commonplace to be beaten, basically a small beating a day, and a big beating every three days.

Finally, he died in early summer when he was eight years old.

And the reason for his death is ridiculous.

Wheat yellow in early summer, but it happens that the sky is not sunny.

Although the Pei family has a few acres of fertile land, they are not wealthy.As soon as Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth, she became a customer of two peasants and ordered her two sons to rob the fields together.

At noon that day, the sky became more and more gloomy. Seeing that the wind and rain were about to come, they didn't even have time to eat lunch. A group of people hurriedly cut, bundled and stacked wheat.

Pei Tianshu was young and made a mistake in a panic.He tripped over the grass and vines on the ground, and the bundle of wheat he was holding fell far away, and the bundled wheat was scattered on the ground.

Mrs. Pei thought he was not pleasing to the eye, so she picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him, hitting him on the back of the head, she was still not satisfied and cursed: "Why did I give birth to you, who only knows how to eat?" A friend who can work!"

Pei Tianshu only felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, fearing her in his heart, and didn't dare to slow down because of this.He hurriedly got up, gathered the wheat on the ground, tied it together again, and piled it on the cart.

A heavy rain and strong wind chilled them thoroughly, and they braved the wind and rain to rob harvest in the wheat field.That night, Pei Tianshu developed a high fever.

Thinking of this, Pei Tianshu feels bad now.When he first wore it, he found that the original owner's body was thin, thin and covered with injuries. Although they were basically old injuries, the one on the back of the head was a new injury.According to his judgment, the original owner died of trauma infection and was burned alive.

From then on, Pei Tianshu regarded Mrs. Pei as a scourge. Even if she was promoted to an old lady, he never recognized her in his heart.

It's just that he owed Pei Tiancheng kindness after all.

At the moment when Pei Tianshu recalled the past, the Chu family over there just thought he was indifferent, turned his back and quietly wiped away his tears.

As soon as Pei Tianshu came back to his senses, he saw something was wrong with the Chu family.Normally, he would have coaxed her with gentle words, but today, he would pay homage to that little brother who passed away in his heart, and he really didn't have that mood.

He was about to get up from the couch and go to the yard to clean himself up.But as soon as he moved, Pei Jinyu, who was sitting next to him, grabbed his sleeve quickly.

Pei Jinyu didn't like to see people cry, and even more didn't like Chu's tears and snot all over her.She looked at Pei Tianshu, and then at Chu, her meaning was very clear.

Pei Tianshu also looked at her, and then at the Chu family, and the meaning was very clear.

But neither of them moved, and then looked at each other.

Pei Jinyu thought, this bastard made his daughter-in-law cry and wanted to use her daughter as a shield.

Pei Tianshu thought, my daughter is really smart, she knows how to judge people's joy and anger at such an age, and she also knows how to seek foreign help.

As a result, the two "eye-eyed" and argued hard.

Pei Jinyu: Take care of the aftermath of what you provoked.

Pei Tianshu: My daughter is my mother's caring little padded jacket.Daughter, the important task of coaxing your mother well has fallen on your immature shoulders.

Pei Jinyu: If you don't go, you are not allowed to leave.As soon as you leave, she will come to hug me.As soon as she hugged me, she had to wet my skirt.

Pei Tianshu: Daughter, it's all up to you.

There are many things, and it is better to do one than to say more.

Pei Tianshu was a man of action, he stuffed Pei Jinyu into Chu's arms, and said without shame: "Jinyu, coax your mother." Then, he turned and went out, waving his hands without taking away a single tear.

Pei Jinyu gritted her teeth: I want to learn to walk.

Pei Tianshu didn't know that this unintentional act of his had completely strengthened Pei Jinyu's determination to learn to walk.

What's more, because he entered the palace during the day, the emperor didn't even eat dinner.

The emperor was heartbroken, he knew this.Ever since Lin Qingluan became the emperor, he has been in a state of depression and has never been better.

But what Pei Tianshu didn't know was that today's emperor was particularly heartbroken.

The palace under the night was dark and gloomy.Bright and beautiful palace lanterns lit up half of the night sky.But the imperial palace didn't seem warm because of this, and it was cool everywhere.

Emperor Yuan Hui's harem only has Concubine Xian, who is thrifty in every way. Since she took charge of the harem, a large number of older maids have been released from the palace.Originally, he thought that there would be a young and beautiful person entering the palace, but Emperor Yuanhui canceled the draft from years ago in the name of Dawen needing to recuperate.

There are only two masters in the huge palace, and it is shameful that it is empty.

There is also a reputation among the people that Emperor Yuanhui is dedicated.

Thinking of this, Concubine Xian felt very heartbroken.

With a title, but without the favor of a man, what she is guarding is a living dead.

The confidant came to report, and the emperor climbed up the palace gate again.Annoyed, Concubine Xian smashed the lead-yellow-glazed jars with green lotus petal patterns, blue-glazed lotus statues, and lead-brown glazed flat bottles with figure patterns on the shelves.

After venting for a while, he ordered his confidant maid Lu Zhuang to carry the warm carbon food box, and gracefully left the Xuanshi Hall.

Not being qualified to enter the Jiaofang Palace is a dull pain in Concubine Xian's heart.

It was this thorn that created Concubine Xian's virtuous reputation today.

She seemed to be able to see the nine dragons and four phoenix crowns waving at her, and she couldn't make a wrong move.Although she couldn't fight that dead man, but a dead man cannot be brought back to life.

Concubine Xian thought so much, she had already turned a corner in her heart, when the chariot stopped under the first palace gate, she didn't let anyone follow, she carried the food box with a smile, and climbed up.

After climbing more than half, when she raised her head, Concubine Xian was looking at the man's deep eyes that could not see any emotion or anger.
