Chapter 74 (1/2)
Zhengqi hospital.
The vigorous wind is as fierce as the wind blowing from the plateau in the cold winter of northern China. There is no grass everywhere and the eyes are bleak.
Pei Shuo was dressed in a single coat and waved a long knife with both hands. He picked up the long knife almost one person high without any effort. He cut and swept it with a clear mind. There was no wind in the yard, but he forced it out, which was not inferior to the soldiers in the barracks.
He gave the enemy a final blow and ended. Sweat oozed from his forehead, and the fine sweat beads condensed into sweat the size of fish eyes. They passed through the dense eyebrow peaks, flowed through the deep eye sockets, and hung on the eyelashes. His chest fluctuated and gasped. Pei Shuo's grandfather hugged his fist and finished the demonstration.
”Good!” Pei Suiyin cheered“ There is no abandoned martial arts in Nanxun County, which is good, but you follow the rules and don't know how to be flexible. There are thousands of changes on the battlefield. There are empty moves, but you can't make it out with all your strength. Can't you hold back? Martial arts and articles are the same truth. If you understand them thoroughly, you will understand them. When you encounter the same situation, you will make them, so you must practice frequently. ”
The Pei family followed the emperor to fight in the world and made great achievements. In the future, Pei Shuo must take the road of a military general whether he is a duke or a great achievement. Therefore, Pei Suiyin and Pei Zhengwen have high hopes for him and handed down the art of watching the family early.
Pei Shuo had a deep understanding of Grandpa's words. He had moves when he was free, but he couldn't make it out. He watched ah Yao get hurt. His reaction was not as good as a little girl.
”Thanks for Grandpa's instruction.” He said seriously, ”my grandson will practice more every day and live up to my grandfather's expectations.”
Pei Suiyin was happy. Pei Shuo came back from Nanxun county. His person hasn't changed, but his heart to play off has been taken back. He is a little higher and looks steady: ”on the third day of farewell, you should look at him with new eyes and tell Grandpa about your business in Nanxun County.”
Open the door and take people to the room. The heat wave is paved, and the front chest and back are cold and hot.
Pei Suiyin is used to doing everything himself. He doesn't like to be served by servant girls. When he enters the house, he throws peishuo a scarf to wipe his sweat.
Wipe the sweat off his face, pour tea for Pei Suiyin, sort out what happened to him in Nanxun County, and pick up some key things. Pei Suiyin has actually heard all about it. After listening to his grandson's explanation, he doesn't go in and out. He closes his eyes and sits upright and nods from time to time. When he hears him say that he was in the LV family, he hurt his shoulder and hurt member Lv. Suddenly he lifts his eyelids. He hates iron and doesn't become steel: ”confused! There are thousands of ways to expose the man's evil deeds, but you choose the most inferior one to kill 10000 enemies and hurt 8000 yourself. Your plan in front is good. Why are you so confused in the back? Let Pei wear or Peibu lead the Yamen to the backyard and leave clues to dig a pit. What's behind is water to qucheng. ”
”But you're out of your mind. When you show up, you just take one of the little girls to testify. You have to stab yourself on the shoulder! Does it hurt? ”
Pei Shuo pursed his lips and whispered, ”it hurts...”
Pei Suiyin's face softened slightly, got up and went to the inner room to get a box of ointment: ”you know the pain, but you're smart. You didn't hurt your muscles and bones. If you can lift the big knife, it means that the wound is almost good. Take it back to wipe the wound. You'll get the knife for the woman before you go to the battlefield!”
Thinking of Pei Yang's letter, Pei Suiyin's impression of Jiang Yao fell three feet, and he was distressed again. His grandson has a bright and fair future. How can he be controlled by a suckling girl? He is only ten years old and has been sad and beautiful. What can he do in the future? If the enemy catches his wife and concubine alive and coerces him to kill himself before the battle, this reaction is not impossible.
Pei Suiyin frowned and frowned. Pei Shuo was worried. At that time, he patronized his ideas and did not take into account the reaction of his grandfather and father after they knew about it.
This is terrible. Before ah Yao appeared in front of them, her impression was greatly reduced.
”Yes, my grandson knows his mistake.” It's urgent to calm the old man's anger first. He still has something to discuss with his grandfather, but now is not a good time to mention it.
Pei Suiyin waved: ”I've been tired all the way. After seeing Cui, I came to me to play a set of knife skills. You're tired. Go back and have a good rest. It's time to have dinner.”
”Yes.”
Honeysuckle had arranged for people to burn water. Pei Shuo bathed and straightened up. When he came out, he saw the golden afterglow shining on the wall through the west window, plated with a layer of gold.
Cui mengzhang sent a girl to invite him to the side hall for dinner.
When he arrived, his third brother Pei Xingning sat quietly at the table. Before grandpa arrived, the servant girl sent cold dishes. Cui mengzhang saw Pei Shuo arrived. Counting the time, his father-in-law should let the servant girl start cooking soon.
Patting cucumber, mixed with mustard sauce and a small plate of preserved eggs cut into small petals, Pei Xinning was greedy. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Pei Shuo coming and called timidly, ”big brother.”
Pei Shuo responded. Pei Xingning is 9 years old and three years younger than him. Because Pei Xingning is taken by Aunt Feng, he is quiet enough to echo his name. Apart from meeting at the dinner table, he is not together at other times. The relationship between the two brothers is flat. Compared with him, Pei Xingning seems to prefer to stick to Pei Xingzhi. He makes friends with Xingzhi and doesn't pay much attention to his common brother.
Pei Suiyin walked up and took his seat.
The dishes are all good.
”If the eldest doesn't come back for dinner, the second family will get together in the yard. We'll eat by ourselves. You can clip everything you like. Cui, you don't have to work hard to give me cloth dishes. Sit back.” Pei Suiyin refused Cui mengzhang's cooking and asked her to sit back for dinner.
Pei's family is small in size and has few aunts. Pei Suiyin was born a rough man. He attaches importance to education and trains two sons. The eldest brother is as bright as a torch and follows the right person to lead the family to prosperity. The eldest brother and the second family also attach importance to training the next generation, especially the second family. Knowing that Pei Xingzhi can't take the road of merit, they train in the direction of civil servants, even if they can't take the imperial examination, You can also seek a civil service through family shadow.
But in the final analysis, the Pei family does not have the details of the aristocratic family.
The men's and women's table sharing set hasn't worked in Pei's house yet.
In Mr. Pei's words, we have more men than women. We have two tables, and then the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law sit at the same table. It's cold and quiet, while their six eldest masters are crowded at the same table to eat. It's better to just rush all the women back to the yard to eat. What a shame.
When the meal was almost eaten, the servant girl came up with a copper pot with a strange shape.
”That's...” Pei Suiyin didn't know what he meant. Why are there dishes now.
”Shuo'er came back from Nanxun county. I pity him for his journey, so I decided to let the cook stew a pot of mutton soup. It's cold now. Drink mutton soup to warm up. Dad, you'll have another bowl later. Xingning, you're still young and shouldn't make too much. You can only drink one bowl. Don't be greedy. ”
Still didn't mention Pei Shuo.
Pei Suiyin looked at Cui mengzhang more, and Pei Xingning agreed.
As soon as the lid of the copper pot was lifted, the smell of mutton turned Cui mengzhang's stomach upside down. An inexplicable nausea rushed down her throat. She ran out and retched by holding the post.
“……”
Everyone's eyes focused on Cui mengzhang.
The servant girl in charge of opening the cover was stunned in place. A few seconds later, she suddenly knelt down.
Cui mengzhang took out his handkerchief and covered his mouth. When she smelled the smell of mutton, she had a headache and nausea. She hated it in her heart. She didn't spit out anything. She wiped her mouth and looked back to see one big, two small and six pairs of eyes staring at her, as well as the servant girl who served the dishes shivering.
