My Cousin is So Weak.

Chapter 194 Mr. Pei returns to the army to visit his children

After Aunt An left Pei Zixuan's yard, she returned to her and Mr. Pei's yard in despair. At that time, Mr. Pei was studying military books. Seeing Aunt An's appearance, she knew that her daughter must have been angry with her again. So he opened his mouth and asked.

"Still reluctant to curse a few words?"

"How to scold? That child can't stand anger and will get sick when she is angry. If I really don't want this child, I might as well stab her with a knife, so as not to let her live in this world and suffer all the torture and grievances. It’s all my fault that I had to give birth to her in the first place. Now it not only makes her suffer, but I also feel extremely regretful.”

Mr. Pei agreed with this. At that time, he actually did not agree with the child staying. He just couldn't stand Aunt An's pleading, so he decided to keep the child.

For so many years, Jin Gui's medicinal materials have been keeping her alive. Unfortunately, her life can be extended, but her reason and emotions cannot correct her, so Mr. Pei is too lazy to argue with her. She won't live for many years anyway, so he just gets used to it.

"Okay, since you can't stand it, it's better to provoke her less. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so don't cause trouble for yourself. I see some changes in the army recently. I'm going to visit tomorrow, so you can stay here. Host it at home.”

Aunt An nodded and agreed to the matter, but she still had a frown on her face.

The next day, Marshal Pei set off for the army, starting from Hanzhou. When he arrived, it was almost evening, and the sound of drills still rang through the sky. After listening to it for many years, Marshal Pei still felt that this sound was better than any other natural sound. They all sound great!

The closer he got, the more he could feel that the army had a different look. Although he had long known Jiang Shiyuan's role here, there was still a certain difference between seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it only with his ears. .

Along the way, they headed towards the general's tent. The soldiers passing by nodded in greeting, but did not stop. This was the usual rule in the Pei family's army.

But there were still people who reported the news, and when they saw Mr. Pei two miles away, they informed Pei Zifeng, so they were waiting here early.

When he opened the curtain and saw Pei Zisu and others, Mr. Pei was not surprised at all. He walked straight to the main chair in the middle and sat down. Then he glanced at the three people and saw them saluting respectfully.

"I met my father."

"My daughter-in-law, Jiang Shi, would like to meet my father-in-law."

The two brothers and sisters of the Pei family and Jiang Shiyuan paid their respects to Mr. Pei. After he finished speaking, he didn't think there was anything wrong with him. Instead, Mr. Pei stared at Jiang Shiyuan a few more times, feeling that she seemed a little different from before. It’s different, but I can’t say how different it is.

"Is the food in the army good? I think your wife is getting fat."

Mr. Pei's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that Jiang Shiyuan's waist was a bit thick, but he was not a woman, and Jiang Shiyuan's body had been taking medicine for many years, so he did not think too much about the pregnancy, and Pei Zifeng I didn't want the news to spread so early, so I acquiesced to this statement.

Seeing that none of the three people spoke to each other, Mr. Pei knew that what he said was a little inappropriate. Thinking that most women were happy to be thin and beautiful, he felt that it might have touched his daughter-in-law's mind, so he pretended to cough two or three times and then He pushed the matter aside and then asked. "I heard that you did a lot of things in the army. Do you want to let everyone have a special New Year?"

"What the father-in-law said is exactly what my daughter-in-law said these days when she is living in the army, so she wants to do her best. Most of the soldiers have not returned home for several years and cannot be with their relatives at home, so it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort at this time. Feeling homesick, my daughter-in-law thought that if she could make this New Year's Eve party beautiful, she might be able to understand everyone's homesickness, and this could also unite morale. If there is a war in the future, everyone will be able to achieve better results if they work together. result."

After hearing what she said, Mr. Pei agreed deeply. He had been in the army for many years and certainly knew the importance of morale. However, he did not expect that such words would come out of his daughter-in-law's mouth. He could not help but feel a little pity for her, a noble daughter of a noble family. Treat them differently.

He has always been a person of intangible temperament, so when he looked at Jiang Shiyuan, he didn't praise him much, and even said something awkward.

"The city of Xijing is really extravagant. Even you, an ordinary daughter of the Jiang family, can easily spend tens of thousands of taels to buy new bedding for the soldiers and host banquets. I think I, Khanzhou, have been at the front for so many years. The people are living in poverty. It is true that the people in the two places are different. "

Jiang Shiyuan couldn't refute this, and the reason why she was rich actually came mostly from her mother's dowry and the things her father prepared for her. Her business skills were average, but her shop had no problem maintaining a good harvest, so these There is indeed a lot of surplus after the year, tens of thousands of taels of silver can still be obtained, but if it is really more, she will be a little hesitant.

So he said something to Mr. Pei.

"The daughter-in-law's ability is limited to this. The money was bought by selling a lot of things brought by her mother's family. But since she married into the Pei family, she should do something for the Pei family. I am in the military. During these days, I saw with my own eyes how hard the soldiers were training day and night. The general was worried about the military. I couldn't do much, but if I could add some warmth to the soldiers in the winter, it would be a small kindness. "

Mr. Pei was dumbfounded by her directness, so he thought about it and said to Pei Zifan.

"Seeing how promising you are, you actually want your wife to use her dowry to make up for the shortfall. Tomorrow, ask your second brother to advance some money from home, and leave the banquet to your wife to take care of. I won't say anything, but cotton It’s better to pay for the bedding and sewing money from the Pei family’s public account.”

Although Marshal Pei had good intentions, Pei Zifeng did not take it seriously.

The tens of thousands of taels of silver were used for practical work, but at the same time, it also brought Jiang Shiyuan an excellent reputation. This also dispelled the concerns of many people in the army, so he felt that the money was well spent and did not want to let the Pei family Intervene, so he cupped his fists and said to Mr. Pei.

"Father, the money of the Pei family should be used for other expenses in the coming year. Ah Nian has already done this and has taken the responsibility for his reputation. There is no need for the Pei family to enjoy this fruit again."

Hearing his son's words, Mr. Pei was a little dissatisfied for a moment. How could he be treated like a donkey despite his good intentions? So he snorted and refused to bother with him any more. He just looked at the three of them and saw that they were not very willing to pay attention to him. Then he said.

"Looking at you guys, it doesn't look like you want to go back to your old home for a reunion dinner this year, so I'm going to have a meal with you in the army today to prevent outsiders from saying I'm partial."
