Chapter 119 Where is the wine? Where is the meat?

As soon as he saw that figure, Yu Wenye's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.

Shang Ruyi also hurriedly followed up, and saw the figures getting closer and closer. It was two officers escorting a shackled man, slowly walking towards them, and the shackled man was none other than

, it was Pei Xingyuan who had just had a drink with them two days ago.

It's just that Pei Xingyuan two days ago was dressed in fine clothes, handsome and elegant, and he looked like a handsome young man. But in front of him, he was wearing ragged short clothes, looking lonely, and every step he took was so heavy. Compared with before, he looked like a cloud.

difference.

From being a young man from an aristocratic family to being an exiled prisoner, isn't it like falling from the clouds into the mire?

Just thinking about this made Shang Ruyi feel uncomfortable.

At this time, they had already walked in front of several people. Pei Xingyuan was looking at the road under his feet blankly, but suddenly he felt a familiar breath. When he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Fengchen?"

Yu Wenye looked at him solemnly: "Xingyuan..."

When the two met, they were speechless for a moment.

But just for a moment, Pei Xingyuan suddenly laughed again and said, "I knew you were a brother. Even Lei Yu came to see me off. How could you ignore me?"

Then he said with a smile: "Where's the wine? Where's the meat?"

"..."

"If you practice it for me, you can't have nothing to eat, right?"

"..."

"Even if you don't have these things, you can at least give me some cash to make me feel better on the road."

His words still contained a bit of joking and ridicule, no different from the way he used to drink and chat, but everyone knew that at this time, he was just enjoying himself in misery, and he wanted to hide his sadness in this cynical way.

Under the mask.

Yu Wenye looked at him quietly, but did not break the mask.

Just said: "How much do you want?"

Pei Xingyuan was also stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "As many as you want."

Yu Wenye did not hesitate, and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, but did not hand it to him. Instead, he turned to the two officers who were escorting him and said in a deep voice: "You two, this is a very steep road.

Yuan, if you have a mouthful of meat, give him a mouthful of vegetables; if you have a glass of wine, give him a mouthful of water."

Pei Xingyuan on the side shouted dissatisfied: "Why don't you give it to me!"

But Shang Ruyi understood what Yu Wenye meant.

If you give him the money, he will not be free, and it will be useless to hold it. On the contrary, it will easily lead to trouble; if you give the money to the two official servants, for the sake of Yu Wenye, Pei Xingyuan will be able to live a much easier life if his fingers are loosened.

.

Sure enough, the two officials were not polite. They smiled and took the banknote and put it away, and then said: "Young Master is indeed very righteous. Just now in the city, General Lei's daughter was also handed over to us. Don't worry, we are just watching."

I will not embarrass Mr. Pei in front of the young ladies."

Yu Wenye nodded and said, "Can you two wait nearby? We still have a few words to say."

The two officials politely stepped aside.

Yu Wenye then turned to look at Pei Xingyuan, but the two looked at each other for a long time without saying another word.

Many emotions, at this time, seem to really not need to be said anymore.

Finally, Pei Xingyuan glanced at Shang Ruyi, who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "My wife is also here to see me off. It seems that I, Pei Xingyuan, really have a lot of face."

Speaking of which, Shang Ruyi only met him once and did not have a deep friendship. However, seeing him like this at this time, I still couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness.

She whispered: "Mr. Pei, please take care of yourself."

Pei Xingyuan smiled.

After laughing, he looked at Shang Ruyi again: "Sister-in-law, are you going to give someone away too?"

Shang Ruyi nodded.

Pei Xingyuan let out a long sigh and said: "That night, I ran out to find Brother Fengchen because I didn't want to drink with those old antiques. If I had known that they were discussing that matter, I would have made trouble at home no matter what, and let them

I can’t drink wine.”

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

After the ridicule was over, everyone only felt sour in their hearts - in fact, even if Pei Shi and Shen Shiyan did not drink together that night, these people were worried about the country and would definitely find an opportunity to advise the emperor to stop attacking Liaodong. Some fates are

Unavoidable.

So he just asked: "By the way, Mr. Pei, where are your father and the others?"

When he mentioned his father, Pei Xingyuan showed a hint of worry and said, "They were escorted on the road yesterday."

This is common sense. Most of the exiled prisoners are dissatisfied with the imperial court. In order to prevent them from gathering in crowds to cause trouble, the Ministry of War will exile up to two or three prisoners at a time. Young people like Pei Xingyuan must be strictly guarded, and naturally they must be exiled separately from the rest of the population.

.

Shang Ruyi asked again: "Miss Lei also came to see you off?"

"Um,"

Mentioning this, Pei Xingyuan sneered and said: "Those who usually call me brothers and sisters, reaching out to ask me to borrow money all day long, now I can't even see her, only her - I can see clearly this time the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Already."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment and said: "Trouble reflects the human heart."

Pei Xingyuan also said: "Yes, by the way, she also specifically asked about the situation of Mrs. Sister-in-law's family."

"Oh?" Shang Ruyi was a little surprised. Lei Yu didn't treat her well at all, but he still cared about her?

Pei Xingyuan smiled and said, "I told you a long time ago that she has no bad intentions, she just has a bad face. Madam-in-law, please don't mind."

"..."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi smiled meaningfully.

In fact, she never minded Lei Yu's attitude towards her. What's more, now that she knew who Yu Wenye's heart was, if she continued to mind Lei Yu's attitude, she would be making herself uncomfortable.

She said calmly: "What do I have to mind?"

Looking at her somewhat sad eyes, Pei Xingyuan said: "Actually -"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Wenye said: "I will send someone to Lingnan to make arrangements. You can bear with me for now."

Pei Xingyuan then looked back at him and said jokingly: "Instead of asking me to be patient, it's better to wait for the Duke-"

Having said this, he smiled.

He raised his head again to look at the sky, and then said: "Okay, it's getting late. I have to say goodbye after a long journey, so you two should stop nagging. It's time for me to get on my way."

After finishing speaking, he said to the two officials: "Two eldest brothers, let's go."

The two officials came forward immediately, saluted politely to Yu Wenye and others, and escorted him forward.

Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi stood there, looking at Pei Xingyuan's figure that was still swaying even though he was shackled, and seemed to still have a bit of his usual carefree and unruly demeanor.

After watching his back disappear, Shang Ruyi turned to look at Yu Wenye: "What did he just say about waiting for dad?"
