Lucky not to forget

Chapter 19 Another Side of Pei Zhen

Uncle Rizhen came home drunk and stayed in the chrysanthemum garden for five full days without leaving a single step. Every day, meals were delivered to the garden, and none of the business guests were there. On the sixth day, two people came from Peiping. Uncle Zhen came out of the garden to invite the honored guests in fresh clothes and furious horses. The three of them entered the garden, ordered the assistant to close the garden gate, and there was no more sound.Everyone guessed that it must be caused by the lawsuit of Second Master Lan's servant who beat someone to death. For a man with such a face like Master Zhen, if such a thing happened in his family, he must try his best to smooth it over. Those two are always in harmony. Officials, let's discuss countermeasures behind closed doors.

In fact, it was none other than Yan Wang's trusted guards and commanders Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng.

Zhang Yu clasped his fists and said, "How is Mr. Mingyue?"

Pei Zhen nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, you two have worked hard all the way! I was supposed to go to Peiping, but there were some troubles at home, and I was worried about not leaving."

Zhu Neng hurriedly said, "Sir, what's the matter? I'm waiting for you to do business for the prince. How dare you say hard work. The prince knows your temperament and doesn't blame him. It's just because the matter is so big that Feige is afraid of going wrong. Our brothers rushed here."

Pei Zhen invited them to sit down, and asked the assistant to serve tea, and said in a hurry, "Take a breath first, on this hot day, do you two need to take a bath first? I'll send someone to set up a banquet, let's How about a drink and a chat?"

Zhang Yuzhu looked at each other and said with a broken face, "Sir, don't make fun of us. This matter is imminent. The lord is so anxious, he told us to make an agreement with Mr. to report back immediately, without any delay. We want to drink. When my husband comes to Peiping in the future, we brothers and sisters will accompany him to drink for three days, but we can’t stop drinking today, sir forgive me.”

Pei Zhen thought to himself, why do I really want to invite you to drink? The two of you have such a strong smell that almost smelt out my master's overnight meal, how can you talk about serious business!

As for the assistant, although he is young, he has been with Pei Zhen for four or five years after all, and he is clever. What does the master think, he has a clear stomach, so he immediately poured two basins of water and pancreas, haha Waist said, "Your lord, the road is full of dust and dust. The younger one felt distressed when he saw it. He was sweating a lot. He must be in a panic. The younger one brought water, and the two generals wiped their faces first. Well, I want something to eat and drink when I get home, I'll go to the kitchen to bring some iced sour plum soup, let's talk first, and wait for the banquet to be ready before we sit in, there won't be any delay."

The two of them thought it was reasonable, but they didn't see Pei Zhen saying anything, so they readily agreed. Because they were from the army and knew Pei Zhen well, they had no taboos. They took off their clothes in twos and started scrubbing their shirtless arms. He said, "According to Mr. Wang, what should the prince do now? Seize or wait?"

Pei Zhen shook his folding fan and said leisurely, "If the name is not right, the words will not be right. There are [-] imperial guards in the Imperial City. His Highness's army has not yet been deployed. By the time of Yingtian, the old emperor has long died. The new emperor ascended the throne." , the prince will become a traitor who seeks to usurp the throne, not to mention the grandson of the emperor, when the King of Zhou and King Ning will all come to crusade, in the end they will make wedding clothes for others."

Zhang and Zhu looked at each other, and said hesitantly, "What if we wait?"

Pei Zhendao, "Emperor Taizu left just a few days ago. There was news from the palace that he didn't even recognize anyone. The coffin and inner chamber were all ready for burial. We just waited for the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne. The thing is to cut down the vassals, the lord just needs to wait until those vassal kings are killed or demoted, and then the lord will play the banner of the Qing emperor, and he will be famous as a teacher."

Zhu Neng hesitated and said, "If the imperial court comes directly to arrest him, what should we do?"

Pei Zhen said, "One change responds to all changes."

Zhang Yu cupped his hands and said, "Please also ask Mingyue Lord to express it."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "It depends on His Highness's means. You may call it sick, or pretend to be crazy and stupid. It will take a long time."

The two were silent, and after a while they said, "According to Mr., what are the chances of winning?"

Pei Zhen said, "My spies came to report, and the only ones relying on the emperor's grandson are Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, those two sour talents, they don't even understand what it is to lead soldiers to fight, and they hold their knives above their heads all day long. Add two literati to the baby, can His Highness King Yan not deal with it?"

Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng laughed loudly, and said, "It will become a great cause in the future, and you must have a high-ranking official and generous salary, sir."

Pei Zhen smiled lazily, noncommittal.I secretly said in my heart, Catalpa Wu is far and near Qianguan Tomb, and He Mi is high and low for six generations of palaces.So what about Fenghou and Prime Minister, it's just a nightmare.

At this time, the assistant came in to report, "Gentlemen, the food and drink are complete, let's eat."

A few people went to the side hall, and there were more than a dozen dishes on the dining table, which were exquisitely cooked. The two of Zhang and Zhu had been bumpy on the road for the past few days, and they couldn't eat or sleep well. Now that they heard Pei Zhen's words, they felt better At the end, Fang Jue was hungry, so they gave in to each other for a few minutes, and they all sat down and poured wine.

Zhang Yu looked around, the decorations are elegant, with silver walls and green tiles, and two rows of green bamboos planted on both sides of the corridor. Looking out through the moon hole window, the wind blows and makes a rustling sound, as if it is a different world from the scorching sun outside. , I just feel refreshed and pleasant, and the summer heat has disappeared.Said sideways, "Sir, this is really a fairy mansion. I don't want the house given by the strange prince. The mountains are high and the rivers are long, and a life of wealth and idleness is so happy."

Pei Zhen said, "No, it's just that Yan Jiaci's family is old, and if you let them run around and suffer, I, a son, should die. Besides, it has been 12 years since my father removed his armor. It has taken root here, and it can't be uprooted." .”

Then Zhu Neng said, "Now we are training in the Forbidden Garden. His Highness sent someone to send a carload of geese and ducks. They kept shouting all day long, making my brain hurt from the noise. It is really a paradise here."

Pei Zhenfu laughed again, "In that case, let's stay for one night. We have a Big Wild Goose Alley here, and the girls in it are famously beautiful. I'll send someone to send the two of them there. It's my landlord's kindness."

The two of them were often in the army, and when they heard there was a girl, their faces showed an intoxicated look, and they smiled relatively secretly, Zhu Neng said, "Mr. Mingyue, can we go together?"

Pei Zhen waved his hands again and again and said, "Please forgive me, both of you. You two also know what happened to my grandma. If I go, wouldn't there be a lot of trouble, no way!"

Zhang Yu also teased, "A man like Mr. is actually a fear of guilt, how can this be! Besides, he has no children these years, so it's not easy to take care of the relationship between husband and wife, and he doesn't even want incense."

Pei Zhen laughed dryly and said, "My lord's matchmaking is better than ordinary ones." After taking another sip of wine, he thought to himself, isn't this woman sent by Zhu Di to spy on me!Zhu'er's phrase "If I don't use it, I will kill it" should be applied to me. Now that I know so much inside information, there is no room for retreating. Put a woman by my side to guard against me. Only when I don't know how!It's just that he made a wrong calculation. Sister Su still has a master behind her, who hooked up with King Ning's aide, Xiao Qian, and told me to be a bastard early on. I absolutely can't swallow this tone!

Zhang Yuzhu could only know their lord's intentions, so he raised his glass and said, "Drink, drink."

Pei Zhen looked at the sky and said, "Drink, you two, I'll go out and give orders." As he spoke, he went out of the side hall, called for his assistant, and said in a low voice, "You tell the outside to prepare a carriage, and go back to Dayan Lane go."

The assistant asked, "Master, do you want to bring him back?"

Pei Zhen scoffed, "Send them away, bring them back, they didn't mess up my place! Just now, I mentioned Sister Su's matter, and I didn't know Zhu Di's intentions, so I admitted it after being dumb. And expose my scars."

Zhu'er sighed and said, "What did the master agree to marry the eldest grandma at that time, making him feel uncomfortable now."

Pei Zhen said melancholy, "I can't help it. Immortals sometimes feel unsatisfactory. It's so easy to get off after boarding a pirate ship. Marrying Sister Su is just to reassure King Yan. A man should put his great career first."

"Then why don't you live a good life with the eldest grandma and get married." Zhu'er muttered.

It's not easy for Pei Zhen to explain clearly to him for the time being, so she could only say bitterly, "I can't do it when I see her, maybe I'm sick."

Zhu'er became interested in exploring, and hurriedly said, "What if King Yan knows that Grandpa doesn't have sex with Grandma?"

Pei Zhen spat, "He asked me to marry him, so he did, and he didn't care if I slept with her or not! It's not his daughter, why is he so caring?"

Zhu'er only found out that the old man didn't touch the old lady after they had a fight a few days ago, and felt sorry for the old lady. The old man's temperament is unpredictable, why bother to marry as a decoration, and let the old lady give birth to a child Don't you just have one heart?

"Are you going to go back on your word now?" Zhuer asked, "Didn't it go well a few years ago?"

"I'm also a human being, why can't I have love! Marrying an empty shell, is it possible to live like this for the rest of my life?" Pei Zhen straightened his clothes and said slowly, "There will always be a break."

Zhu'er shrank his neck and said, "Master, if you marry Miss Chun now, will it still work?"

Pei Zhenliu raised his eyes and shouted, "You are a genius, how dare you make fun of me! What are you still doing here? Have you done what you ordered!"

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the helper ran away. Pei Zhen stood alone on the porch and looked at the flowing clouds in the sky. She secretly made up her mind that in this world, the most important thing is to protect her family. It doesn't matter if they use his name to control him, in the future, Xiao Qian will be left with a dog's life. Sending her back to him is also worthy of the scheming she spent on him every day for the past five years.

Turning around and going back to the side hall, Zhang Yuzhu couldn't know what to talk about, so he laughed happily. Pei Zhen sat down and said, "But is there anything interesting?"

Zhang Yu hesitated and said, "It's not a funny thing, let's talk about some low-level jokes, and it will definitely dirty Mr.'s ears."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you something, let me laugh."

Zhang Yu stroked his palm and said, "Very good."

Pei Zhen took a sip of wine and said, "Once upon a time, there was a family who married a girl and went to a foreign country. After returning to Ning in three days, her mother asked: Are the hometowns the same?" The girl replied: Only the pillows are different. My hometown is on the head. On one side, on the other side is used in the waist." Both of them burst into laughter, Zhu Neng said, "I only knew that Lord Mingyue was able to make a plan, but I didn't know that even the dirty jokes were so good!"

Pei Zhen laughed and said, "Cover up for me anyway, don't spread the word and ruin my reputation for the rest of my life."

Everyone laughed for a while, and Zhang Yu said solemnly, "After a while, it's better to pass the letter by flying pigeons. Since the soldiers don't move, the prince should go to the sky. I'm about to die, and if my son is not here, I will always give someone a blame. "

Pei Zhen caressed Guang Guang's chin, his eyes were cold, and he said, "When Gao Zu dies, after the first seven days, His Highness King Yan should go crazy."
