Rebirth Handbook - Chapter 178
After the little princess went back, he fell ill. After that, he refused to find a husband and son in Nanshangjing. He insisted on going back to the fief. King Dinghui had no choice but to take the little princess back in advance when he recovered. The southeast fief.
This matter caused a lot of discussion, but no one came forward to say what happened, so everyone still can only rely on guesswork. Some people say it was the little princess who fell in love with Pei Shunqing, but was refused marriage, so he fell ill with heartbreak. Some people also guess that the little princess encountered something unclean in Pei’s mansion. Otherwise, why did King Dinghui invite a Taoist priest into the mansion?
Master Pei gave the extremely boring Nanshangjing people a post-dinner conversation, and he was very willing to give.
In the third heavy snowfall of winter, all the officials had a holiday. After a year of hard work, they could finally take a good rest, get together with their families and enjoy the family happiness. Pei Shunqing didn’t need to go to the top of the value, nor did he need to make suggestions for the emperor. After staying at home for more time, she stayed with Ying Xian every day.
Ying Xian discovered that when this ‘gentle’ was lazy, he seemed to have no bones. He was lying on the couch with a fur-covered mattress. He kept his feet on the floor all day long, his eyes half-squinted.
This is really strange. In previous winters, isn’t he still busy from time to time and not free? When I see him occasionally, he is serious and serious, and his words and deeds are steady and decent. Why is there such a big difference now?
At this moment, even playing chess with her was holding his head, lazily, as if not playing seriously at all. However, judging from her failure to win Pei Shunqing’s round, Pei Shunqing still played this game seriously.
“Pei Shunqing, are you tired?” Ying Xian couldn’t help asking when seeing Pei Shunqing lying there with his head shrinking, as if he was going to fall asleep.
Pei Shunqing opened his eyes, “Fortunately, not too tired.”
Ying Xian: “If you are tired, just go to bed. I don’t need you to accompany you.” She still remembered Pei Shunqing’s pale and weak Liu Fufeng’s appearance, always feeling that Pei Shunqing had hurt the foundation and not yet. Recovered.
Looking at the script all night last night, Pei Shunqing, who is now sleepy, stretched out. The laziness steamed all over her body, and her tone became lazy, “But I need my wife to accompany you.”
After speaking, he sat up and stepped out in his shoes. After a while, he brought a fire tongs and a basket of chestnut sweet potatoes and the like, followed by a brazier behind him.
“Put it here, don’t put it over there.” Pei Shunqing asked the young man to put the brazier under her feet, and then she sat beside him and threw the chestnut into the carbon fire with tongs.
Ying Xian grabbed the table and looked at the brazier, but Pei Shunqing reached out and stopped him, “Don’t get close, the sparks are floating on you later. Wait a while, I will roast chestnuts for you, there are small sweet potatoes, roast them It’s delicious, let me bake two for you?”
Ying Xian had never tried to eat like this, and was full of curiosity when he heard the words, “Can this be baked?”
Pei Shunqing leaned on the table and laughed, tapping the charcoal basin with the fire tongs in her hand, “Naturally, I used to eat like this when I was a child.”
Ying Xian became interested and stared at the charcoal basin, and saw that Pei Shunqing put the sweet potato into the ash pile in the charcoal basin and buried it, while the chestnut was baked on the fire. The scent began to drift around after a while.
Ying Xian sniffed, a little bit careless about the game. After looking at the carbon basin for a while, she couldn’t help but set her eyes on Pei Shunqing’s face.
The expression on his face is very relaxed and relaxed, the whole person is lazy and casual, the clothes and belts are crookedly tied, the shoes are not worn well, and he just went out just to drag, and it is still the same now. With a lazy smile on his mouth, Ying Xian saw that he was very happy now.
“Pei Shunqing, I think you have become more relaxed these days, and laughed more and more.” Ying Xian said suddenly.
The Pei Shunqing she had seen before was generally expressionless, but even if it was what he pretended, Ying Xian felt that he was unhappy at the time.
Pei Shunqing paused and looked up at her.
“Because I used to think every day how long you will leave me. If you didn’t get it at the beginning, I might be better… No, it doesn’t exist. Even if you didn’t marry me, I would feel the same. Sad.”
Speaking of this, Pei Shunqing changed his tone and laughed at herself relaxedly: “You know, smart people always like to embarrass themselves. If you think too much, they sometimes drive themselves to death.”
Ying Xian wanted to say something, when the chestnuts in the brazier suddenly made a crackling noise. Pei Shunqing turned her head and pinched the chestnuts to one side to let them cool down.
He put down his pliers and reached out to touch the scorched chestnuts that were scorched on the surface. He opened a mouthful of the chubby chestnuts. He said, “I know what Xianxian wants to say. This is how I am. At the very beginning of doing something, Think about the worst result first. If I can bear it, I will do it. But when I decided to marry you, I was not prepared to accept that ending. So it seemed a bit… embarrassed.”
“If you haven’t been resurrected, I won’t be fine. If you recover from your illness, you may continue to live. It’s just that you are not as happy as you are now. But how many people can live happily every day? Today is more like me. Delusion.”
Ying Xian furrowed her two thin eyebrows and opened her mouth to speak. Pei Shunqing suddenly turned around, and the chestnut peeled out of her hand happened to fit into Ying Xian’s mouth.
“Come and taste it, it doesn’t smell good.”
Ying Xian who was gagged by the big chestnut: “…”
She had never been gambled when she wanted to talk. Ying Xian took out the chestnuts and threw them to the opposite side. Pei Shunqing had been prepared for a long time, and quickly caught her eyes and hands, and asked, “Don’t eat?”
Ying Xian actually wanted to eat, but she didn’t speak, so she watched Pei Shunqing ask, and naturally put the chestnuts into his own mouth.
“You…” Ying Xian’s eyes widened in shock, and her mouth opened slightly.
Pei Shunqing chewed on the chestnuts, saw her shocked expression, suddenly smirked on the table, and the laughing shoulder shrugged, unable to stop for a long time.
“Don’t be angry, I just want to make fun of you, and I don’t dislike you. We are a husband and wife, isn’t it normal?” After finally stopping laughing, Pei Shunqing explained very seriously.
Then, he was hammered with a small fist by Ying Xian and almost spit out the chestnut he had eaten.
Regarding the previous topic, I could not continue.
On New Year’s Eve, Sheng Yonghou rode his horse back to accompany his daughter to celebrate the New Year. When he walked into the Pei Mansion with his horse whip, he saw his daughter wrapped in a snow-white dumpling playing in the yard.
She was riding on Pei Shunqing, grabbing snow from the nearby snowfield with one hand, and stuffing it into Pei Shunqing’s collar. The always calm and indifferent expression on her face was shattered, and Sheng Yonghou could even see the feeling of gnashing her teeth from her face.
But Pei Shunqing, who was crushed in the snow, held her head and was stuffed into the collar with snow, seemed like a fool, still laughing incessantly in her mouth.
“Madam, madam, let me go, I know I was wrong, I just made a joke with you!”
Ying Xian said loudly, “Just kidding, laughing at your stature, you just provoke me on purpose. It’s fun to watch my face change!”
Sheng Yonghou: What happened, why is my soft daughter angry and cursing? No, it’s not necessarily fake. My daughter is cute and cute since she was born. She hasn’t been angry and cursed people… Today, it must be Pei Shunqing who taught my daughter badly!
Sheng Yonghou stood there for a while, but didn’t see her daughter discovering herself, clenching his fist and coughing.
“Father? Are you back?” Ying Xian climbed down from Pei Shunqing, and Pei Shunqing supported her, shaking her collar with one hand, “Be careful, don’t fall.”
Sheng Yonghou, who just wanted to make her daughter be careful not to fall: “…”
“Master Pei, since I’m back, I will take Xianxian back to the house for the New Year, and leave.” Sheng Yonghou said with a straight face, picking up his daughter and wanted to leave.
Standing in the snow, Pei Shunqing looked lonely, and did not say a word to stay, which was very different from the way he laughed happily just now. Ying Xian looked at it and hesitated to pull on her father’s clothes.
“Father, I didn’t prepare anything in the mansion. Why don’t you just celebrate the New Year in Pei Mansion? Isn’t it the same for the first two years?”
Since Ying Xian married into Pei’s Mansion, Sheng Yonghou will come to accompany her to celebrate the New Year every year. So speaking, Ying Xian has not spent the New Year in Hou’s Mansion for several years.
Sheng Yonghou was also planning to spend the Chinese New Year here, but when he came back, he felt that his daughter had been trapped by Pei Shunqing in such a short period of time. He was a little angry, and he planned to take her away without thinking about it. That rascal.
Hearing what his daughter said, Sheng Yonghou didn’t even feel surprised, only a sense of sadness that was overwhelming in his heart.
Pei Shunqing, sure enough, the means are good.
Pei Shunqing waited in the yard, counting silently in her heart, and she really counted to ten, and Sheng Yonghou, who had just walked out with Ying Xian, came back.
With a secret smile in her heart, Pei Shunqing greeted him with surprise on her face, and gave a big gift, “Yue Zhang has been training hard. The mansion has already prepared meals and good wine. Today, we, son-in-law, will not be drunk.”
Sheng Yonghou thought, okay, you bastard, I wanted to let you go, but you wanted to bump into it yourself. Today, let Ben Hou tell you that your father is still your father after all!
With the idea of drilling down the table to drink Pei Shunqing, Sheng Yonghou patted the wine jar open.
Ying Xian sat at the table, and there was a table in front of him that was delicious. The father on the left was holding the wine jar, and Pei Shunqing on the right was in danger.
Will something happen? Ying Xian was a little worried about Pei Shunqing. She knows the amount of her father’s alcohol. Drinking three big altars is absolutely fine, but what about Pei Shunqing? He doesn’t seem to be good at drinking bars? It seems to say that you will get drunk with two glasses, so I never socialize and drink outside. She has never seen Pei Shunqing drink.
An hour later, Ying Xian looked at her father who got under the table with a mixed mood.
The five jars of wine in front of Pei Shunqing were empty, and he was eating peanuts with a sober face, humming a song in his mouth.
“Aren’t you bad at drinking, can you get drunk with two glasses?” Ying Xian asked.
“Of course this is a lie. If you don’t say that, you have to go out and drink with people often. I don’t have that idle time. My colleagues are so good at drinking, they will go crazy, I can’t bear it. Pei Shunqing stood up and patted his robe, walked over to help Yue Zhang who was holding a stool and shouting to continue drinking, with a pure face, “Yue Zhang is drunk, I will let the housekeeper send him to rest.”
Ying Xian: “Get ready sober soup, let Shiliu and Juzi take care of your father.”
Pei Shunqing smiled and spoke easily, “Okay.”
He is in a good mood today. After all, Yue Zhang Lao Tai Shan is not the only one who wants to vent his anger at the wine table.
After a year in a hurry, Sheng Yonghou went to Qingzhou to continue training. It is said that he did find a lot of good seedlings over there, and he also took in several disciples.
In May, the soldiers trained in Qingzhou drew to the south to go to Beijing to review the emperor. The emperor was very happy when he saw it and rewarded Sheng Yonghou many things.
The group of people trained by Sheng Yonghou began to build a camp near Nanshangjing. Sheng Yonghou did not need to go to Qingzhou, and Ying Xian did not need to continue to live in Pei’s mansion.
When Ying Xian left, she took away several maids. When Pei Shunqing sent her back, she felt bad in her heart, and almost wanted to do something immediately so that Zhang Yue could continue to run around. But when Ying Xian said something about missing her father, Pei Shunqing had no choice but to give up making trouble with regret.
He sighed, and finally said to Xian: “My birthday next month, you promised me a painting before you gave me a painting, but don’t forget it.”
“Okay, I won’t forget.” Ying Xian said.
When Ying Xian returned to the Hou Mansion to live, there was no way to meet as soon as he wanted to. In addition, there were more and more affairs in the court, and Pei Shunqing could only meet Ying Xian once every few days.
Ten days before Pei Shunqing’s birthday, something happened. The Heihe River, which traverses five states including Guanzhou and Hanzhou, was flooded. The dam built the year before was washed away, and the flood washed away a dozen counties in the lower reaches of the Heihe. Many disasters occurred in Guanzhou. Pei Shunqing was sent to Guanzhou for disaster relief. The situation was urgent. On the day he received the order, he took people to Guanzhou for disaster relief.
Ying Xian failed to say goodbye to him face-to-face, only received a hastily handwritten letter.
