027 [Kyoto has rain]
"Taijian, Master Pei San of the Duke of Dingguo Mansion: I have long admired Hongcai, and I have taken the liberty to write a letter to ask for advice."
"... The crow has the right to feed back, and the sheep have the right to kneel down to breastfeed, which is known to everyone. Your pure filial piety has gone through hardships but never changed, and after hardships, I have been determined to accept it. However, I have also heard that following the truth but not following the king, and following the righteousness but not following the father. This is a great act of a person. Therefore, the son follows the father's order, is filial? Is the minister following the king's order, chastity?"
In the drizzle, three carriages and a precious foal drove away from the Duke of Dingguo's mansion under the escort of a group of servants.
In the carriage in the middle, Taohua tightly held the wooden box that Wen Yu had sent before, as if she was afraid that a bad person would suddenly come out and snatch it away, and she looked nervous and alert.
If it were normal, Pei Yue would definitely tease her a few words, but now he was holding the letter paper and his brows were almost frowning.
This is the letter written by the girl from the Shen family that Pei Ning had handed over to him before.
That night, he took a look, and only saw the beginning was not interested. It was not until he heard from his servant that it would take two hours to go to the village in the east of the city. Then he remembered the letter, so he kept reading it with great energy.
Paper and ink are all ordinary, even outsiders like Pei Yue can tell at a glance.
If you look closely at the words on this letter, the style of calligraphy is elegant and ethereal, the style of writing is elegant and elegant, and the pen is plain and simple.
Pei Yue is not good at calligraphy and thinks he is the stage of getting started. However, he can also see that this Shen girl is good at writing. No wonder Pei Ning said that someone in Kyoto is asking for her calligraphy. Although there are many people who want to please Shen Moyun from the side, it also shows that this girl is indeed a bit of real skills. He suddenly remembered that Pei Ning called her sister and Pei Yun called her sister, so she was probably about fourteen years old.
When I was fourteen years old in my previous life, I was still climbing trees to dig birds. Other people's children have already been immersed in the method of ** and have achieved great success. This contrast is too strong.
But it’s just that you have achieved success. What’s the point of coming to teach me a lesson for no reason?
Pei Yue can understand this letter at least.
Putting aside those polite words, the girl of the Shen family mainly talked about one thing in this letter, and she deeply sympathized with Pei Yue's experience, but she always said that abuse was only related to the slave. If the slave said that the slave was arrogant, this might happen by chance, but if a servant dared to do this for a long time, there must be a master's acquiescence or even instructor behind it. Then the girl asked Pei Yue, if you are really a pure filial person, why don't you dare to correct the mistakes of your elders and persuade them, but instead played with the same as the light and dust, and only blamed the servants?
Is this really filial?
In the future, if you are the priest of the officials, you dare not point out the mistakes of the superiors or even the emperor. Is this loyalty?
In this regard, Pei Yue really wanted to grab her collar and ask, "Wrinkle a pool of spring water, what's your business?"
By the way, when Pei Yue took the letter from Pei Ning, he was always in his heart.
When he was a teenager in his previous life, what he envied most was his classmates who could receive love letters, and he was extremely yearning for the behavior of passing small notes between boys and girls in class. Although he knew that the possibility of writing love letters to him was almost zero, it was okay to talk about daily life and life, and it was okay to exchange artistic experiences if he couldn't. Being a pen pal in the Daliang era was also a beautiful thing.
As a result, there were no soft words, only questions and admonitions hidden in euphemistic tone.
Is this the literary girl in Daliang?
Pei Yue really wanted to knock her on the head.
The girl never considered his situation. She only cared about the words of morality, gentleman, loyalty and filial piety. So even though Pei Ning said that she was as beautiful as a fairy and had excellent character, Pei Yue was not interested in any way, and he didn't want to have anything to do with her.
He wanted to ask Chen Siyun in person, as the emperor's most valued and trusted capable minister, he could throw the information of the nobles in the court to his daughter at will. Is it appropriate to use such a blatant public instrument for private use?
In short, this letter that could have had some beautiful stories made Pei Yue feel very bad.
Naturally, I also had a very bad impression of the girl who was last signed as "Handy Ink Handwritten".
"Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Taohua shrank to the corner of the carriage at some point, and she still held the wooden box in her arms. She looked at Pei Yue, who was gritting her teeth and showing a ferocious face, and she felt a little scared.
Pei Yue took twice a deep breath, spit out the turbid breath in his chest, then raised his hand and wiped his face, smiled and asked, "Taohua, am I a bad person?"
Taohua moved over carefully, reached out and pressed her hand on Pei Yue's forehead, and said in confusion: "Young Master is not catching a cold, why did you start talking nonsense?"
Pei Yue said curiously: "Is this nonsense?"
Taohua nodded seriously and said, "Of course it's nonsense. If the young master is a bad person, then there will be no good people in the world. Don't you remember? When you were not full before, you gave me the only piece of meat in the bowl. When Madam Liu wanted to beat me, you hugged me and got beaten for me. When other maids in the mansion laughed at me, you told me stories to coax me to sleep at night. Even if Madam Liu beat me hard, the young master would smile at me! There are so many more. If such a young master is a bad person, then I would rather the young master be worse than those people, so that no one can bully us..."
Pei Yue was stunned. Looking at the bright eyes of peach blossoms, the distractions and depressed thoughts in his heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only tranquility and calmness.
He smiled and rubbed Taohua's yellowed hair, and promised: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully us again in the future."
"Yeah!" Taohua nodded vigorously.
In the first carriage, a middle-aged man was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard the conversation between the young master and servant in the carriage behind him, a kind-hearted arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This person is Mr. Xi who was specially invited by Pei Taijun.
He had few ambitions, and suffered great changes in his family, so he had only one skill but no use of martial arts. Later, he was invited by Pei Zhen to praise the civil and military affairs, and rushed thousands of miles to attack and seize the tiger city of Wu. After Pei Zhen passed away, the boss of the Military Academy wanted to ask him to continue his work, but Mr. Xi seemed to have extinguished all his ambitions and retired to the grassland from then on. If Pei Taijun had not personally invited him to the carriage, he would not have appeared in this carriage.
When he left the house, he met Pei Yue and just said hello. But what's interesting is that he found a little bit of defense in Pei Yue's eyes. Thinking of what Pei Taijun repeatedly reminded him, he became interested in this young man.
But that's all.
Pei Yue did not guess Mr. Xi’s thoughts. After soothing the peach blossoms, he took advantage of the weakening rain and lifted the curtain to look at Daliang Kyoto.
This city was first built hundreds of years ago. It was once the capital of the former Wei Dynasty. Later, Daliang established its capital here. This is also the reason why both the court and the country regard this dynasty as the orthodox world.
This city has not been destroyed by war for hundreds of years and has been repaired and expanded repeatedly. It is a famous city in the world.
In the rainy sky, the sky is vast, the buildings are everywhere, and the streets are deserted, like a giant beast that is temporarily sleeping.
When the carriage left the capital and headed east, the scenery in front of me suddenly became clear.
From a distance, the mountains and rivers are stretched, and the mist and rain are falling. Occasionally, knights gallop on the official road, causing mud and water to splash.
I don’t know how long it took, and the peach blossoms around me were already drowsy, Pei Yue saw a house in front of me, surrounded by large fertile fields, rice grew neatly, and a vibrant breath came to his face.
When we arrived, this is his territory.
Chapter completed!
