Cheng Enhou's Love History

At the same time, after thinking about it, pure white or pure silver does not quite meet the requirements of that Miss Qianji, and there is no fabric available right now, so I have to think about it differently.

He didn't want to disturb Pei Jin because of this matter, or in other words, the idea of ​​not wanting Pei Jin to look down on him was secretly stirring up again, so he made up his mind to find it by himself.

Believe it or not, in the huge and prosperous capital of Kyoto, there are not a few top-level clothing suppliers.

However, if he wants to rush to make clothes for orders, he can only ask You Heng, an idler, to help.

However, this idler is really a rough man, and I have been with him for more than a month, so I have some understanding of his experience.For the first half of his life, this person only worked in the navy, and because of a war, he had a disagreement with Shangfeng.Later, Shangfeng failed in greed for meritorious deeds, and although his subordinates tried their best to stop him, he was a grasshopper tied to a rope, and he was still affected by the disaster.At that time, Pei Jin got the news from nowhere and protected him. From then on, he wholeheartedly followed Shaobao, vowing to never leave him in this life.

So let a person who joined the army when he was 12 years old, and even messed with dressing and eating, to study what is meant by top-grade fabrics.

Come and go again and again, but at the same time, I don't have any hope, thinking that I have to go into battle by myself.It's just that before this end took any serious action, someone came to the door and sent a message.

It was Li Mingxiu, the head of Pei's mansion whom he hadn't seen for a while.

The middle-aged housekeeper is free today. He is a person Pei Jin trusts. He knows that Tong is working for Lord Hou. He used to avoid inconvenient contact. Now that the shop is open, he just strolls in from the main entrance openly. Come.

Seeing the always stretched brows of Tong Xiaoye, who had two dark spots under his eyes, and Yintang seemed to be a little dark, Li Mingxiu smiled unkindly, "What's the matter, is it because of the cramp in the counting of money recently, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"Master Li makes money every day, so don't run me down." Tong Ze made tea himself and handed it to Li Mingxiu, "What advice do you have for coming today?"

"I don't dare to teach you, the third master is not in Beijing now, so he sent me to come and have a look." Li Mingxiu smiled meaningfully, brushing away the tea leaves, "Your son, the blessings you have cultivated in several lifetimes, the third master really values ​​you, so please pay attention Go ahead, after a few years of conditioning by him, maybe you will have a great future."

At the same time, he smiled bitterly, "It's good not to cause trouble for the third master. I don't lack anything here, but I have a tricky job. Does Mr. Li know which silk shop in Beijing sells the best materials? It's better to be your own. There are dye workshops. What I want is the kind that can’t be found in the general market.”

Li Mingxiu frowned and thought for a while, "There really is such a family. It is said that Qian's fur and Zhou's dyeing workshop, don't say that one of the largest fabric suppliers in Beijing is Zhou's. It's just that in these years, Mr. Zhou's temper has become more and more serious. It's weird, I don't do business with strangers, I always only deal with regular customers, if you go rashly, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it."

It’s good if there is, there is nothing difficult in the world, and there must be breakthroughs for human beings.

The same said, "I have to try everything. At worst, I will buy more goods and show my sincerity. There is no reason for a businessman not to make money."

"It's so reasonable. After all, no one has any worries about money, right?" Li Mingxiu sipped his tea and nodded, "The Zhou family is no longer the head of the old shopkeeper. There is a new one, but he is the nephew of the old shopkeeper. Son. It’s likely to be a joke, young people must be more easy-going, you can go and ask, if it’s really not good, I’ll report it to the third master to find a way. "

Better never have that day.At the same time, he didn't pick up the quarrel, and silently calculated how much money he should spend to impress the big family of the Zhou family.

Li Mingxiu continued, "Brother Xiao was making a fuss about coming to see you recently, but I stopped him. When you stop here, I'll bring him to make two clothes, but I can't teach him about you."

"I understand that. How is he doing recently?" Speaking of Pei Yi, he also had a smile on his face, "With Xie Yanwen by his side, he should have improved his homework."

Li Mingxiu smiled, "It's not very beneficial! A few days ago, when the second house was planning to buy things, I found a jade wrench finger from my brother in Anping's little house, and it happened to be the reason to develop him. Now my brother is growing up. Yes, he has his own ideas and methods. Then Xie Yanwen is a law-abiding person, and my wife feels relieved."

As soon as the subject changed, he sighed again, "It's just his mother, she always has to do it twice when she has nothing to do, and there was another scene a while ago because of the uncle's loss of money in the government, and it's not because she is afraid that she will lose her second wife's money in the future. If the third master has worked hard to earn this family business outside, everyone in the stalls will not worry about it, they only know how to enjoy themselves but don't know how to build."

Li Mingxiu said, shaking his head, "Sooner or later, I'm afraid it will be better if I raise my brother with the third master."

"Where is the second master, are you in good health?" Tong asked, for Pei Yi, the lack of a father in his life meant that he lacked a sample to teach him how to be a responsible man.

Regarding this point, he naturally felt the same. Thinking about it back then, why didn't he feel envious when he saw other people's father and son loving each other, even though he was considered a person who could think freely and knew how to channel emotions.

Li Mingxiu curled his lips, his meaning was still the same, and then he answered the wrong question, "Don't talk about those things, you go to Zhou's house early tomorrow to discuss the purchase, and I will go back and rest." After finishing speaking, he got up, stood by the table, and flipped through In the messy drawing, he suddenly found a small bow and crossbow, and he gasped, "Isn't this something from the third master?"

That little gadget was spread among a pile of manuscript paper, if Li Mingxiu hadn't pulled it out, he would have forgotten about it.

It was left by Pei Jin inexplicably that day, saying it was for him to play.The bow and crossbow are not too strong and strong, according to the current saying, it should have about ten strength.

At the same time, I usually do push-ups and pull-ups. My arm strength is still good, and there is no problem of being unable to draw the bow.In this era, firearms have already become the mainstream, and guns and shells are available everywhere. This kind of bow and arrow has become a toy for the nobles. Horseback riding and archery are all means of leisure and entertainment on weekdays. .

So Pei Jin gave him this, probably to let him have fun.

He answered Li Mingxiu one after another, but saw that the middle-aged butler was playing with a bow and crossbow in his hand, he was still not moving, his eyes became more and more affectionate, and he shook his head and sighed, "It's been so many years, I can't think of the third master still staying here with it."

It sounds like there is a story, but at the same time, he asked with dignity, "Is this the third master's childhood plaything?"

"Where are the playthings..." Li Mingxiu shook his head and sighed, "It took a lot of effort for the third master to come here. If you say that the third master had a hard life when he was young, it's not that he lacked clothes and clothes, but it was because he didn't have enough clothes. No pain at all."

Li Mingxiu took two steps back and sat down again, apparently intending to shake off the old things.

"At that time, the master was busy fighting all over the world, so he couldn't take care of his family. The third master could only see his father during the holidays. But because of the second master's health, the master had a quarrel with his wife. The two of them did not speak for some years. It's a dilemma for a small person to be sandwiched between parents."

"The master doesn't like the third master very much. He always feels that he was born weak and not a seedling of a general. He also worked hard to cultivate the uncle. But where is the material for the uncle, without his father's discipline, he eats and drinks at home all day long, and gradually grows up." It was crooked. When the master came back, he saw that the uncle had become a complete dude, and he resented his wife for not teaching him well, saying that she deliberately delayed the uncle. The two had a big fight, and the master moved out of the upper room. He never reconciled with his wife until his death. good."

I can't complain that Mrs. Xue is now at ease from the inside out, not at all like a widow...

Li Mingxiu's chatterbox opened, and he couldn't stop recalling, "My wife doesn't fight or fight, she just blindly trains the third master. But without strict father, the wife becomes a strict mother, forcing the third master to have no time for himself. Not only reading , but also to practice martial arts. The masters I looked for were some unborn masters, and there were some who specialized in assassination. The third master practiced martial arts in those years, and the bruises on his body have never been broken. .But there are also advantages, that is, his body has been strengthened a lot.”

He stopped talking, sighed on his back, and said, "The third master was lively when he was young. He never fell out of stabbing a hornet's nest, climbing a tree and over a wall. But he was trained like this, and when he gritted his teeth and came over, he became a different person." It's so old and solemn. Stand there, even if he is smiling, you can't guess whether he is happy or unhappy. When he was 12 years old, the third master knelt down outside the master's study all night, begging the master to take him to On the southwest battlefield, if you can make military achievements, from now on, please forgive my wife for offending me."

At the same time, he gasped when he heard it, and wondered if Pei Jin said it from the bottom of his heart, or if Mrs. Xue taught him to say it?Then he shook his head secretly. It is actually not wise for children to participate in the barriers between their parents and try to intervene to resolve them.

Sure enough, Li Mingxiu sighed, "The master is also cruel. He never looked at the third master on a regular basis. When he caught up with someone kneeling outside, he called the uncle and taught him how to shoot arrows, talking and laughing with the uncle. , After playing enough, I remembered to tell the third master, let him know how to order the elders and children, the elder brother only needs to be friends, but the younger brother must be respectful. In the future, no matter how high his achievements are, he must take good care of his elder brother for the rest of his life. I was wronged a little, but I forced the third master to swear an oath. At that time, the uncle stood aside with a small crossbow and laughed."

It's better not to have such a father.At the same time, he said in his heart, while silently sweating sympathy for the young Pei Jin.

"The third master knelt all night, and finally got the master's approval. But he was holding his breath, and he had a high fever when he went back. When the wife came, he heard him talking nonsense, and only called the word bow and crossbow. The wife finally softened her heart." , beat someone behind his back, engraved with the name of the third master, begging the master to deliver it to the sick bed by himself."

At the same time, he frowned and blurted out, "Does the third master know that this is the wife's intention, not the master's?"

Li Mingxiu pursed his lips and didn't answer, and shook his head after a while, "The third master didn't know anything, but he didn't want to talk about many things. He didn't see him use this gadget, but he kept it with him all the time. That night, I saw him take it out and touch it for a long time. There was only that bit of fatherly love left, and he longed for it throughout his youth, and in the end...it was nothing more than that."

It's a bit sad, it seems that this thing can only be used as a memory, but maybe after a long time, I can really deceive myself into believing that feeling once existed.

But that's not right, why did he give it to himself again?Could it be that this thing really entrusts the elders' affection for the younger generation, full of love and care?

Thinking of this, Tong Ze couldn't help shivering, remembering the way Pei Jin looked at him, it seemed that it would be revealed inadvertently, as if he was looking at a child...

Although his self-esteem took a bit of a blow, he was still an open-minded person, thinking about Pei Jin's tragic childhood.It turned out that his childhood was like this, getting involved in the nasty affairs of the mansion gate, Mrs. Xue may not have deliberately misled Pei Quan, and Pei's father's dissatisfaction may not have no source, but it is still unfair to blame a child.

The father is indifferent, the mother is cold and scheming, and under the dangerous living environment, this child has not grown crooked yet, and can still be gentle and frank in dealing with others, which is also a miracle.

At the same time, he turned the bow and crossbow in his hand, rummaged carefully under the light, and finally found the words engraved on it in the inner corner, for the love of his son, as a gift from his father.

Xingzhan is Pei Jin's expression.The word "zhan" is quite prescient, it seems that from the very beginning, it foreshadowed his desire for fatherly love, and it would also become an unfulfilled wish.

Or maybe he himself has figured it out a long time ago?It's not a matter of pretending to don't want it, so it's another kind of letting go?
