Rebirth of Naihe Junwan

In autumn, the pattering rain came, and there were a few servant girls in the corridor of the Hou Mansion, wiping the muddy water on the wooden planks, and the swiftly dexterous servant girls took off the big red happy characters on the carved wooden railings and tidied them up.A servant girl wiped the sweat from her forehead, smiled and said to the older woman in green beside her, "Even though it's raining today, it's still very hot."

The elder cast a sideways glance at her, "Don't complain, let the master hear that you will feel better."

The servant girl stuck out her tongue, "The old lady has a kind heart." The old lady who manages the inner house in the Hou mansion is Mrs. Hou, and both Lord Hou and the second son are on official errands, so they don't ask much about family affairs, and there are many complicated affairs in the inner courtyard. Handled by the old lady.However, the second son has just married a new wife, so he may be able to share some of the burden for the old lady in the future.

The elder patted her forehead and reprimanded: "No one is in good shape!" Looking at the innocent maid, the woman in green was helpless. After all, she was young and ignorant when she just entered the house. Still a kid.

No longer talking, the two began to work seriously, after a while, the sky slowly darkened, the rainy day was dark early, the maid who just complained had finished her work, and was about to ask the woman in green if she could leave Suddenly, a crashing sound startled her.

She turned her head and saw a man in green clothes put away the oil-paper umbrella under the eaves of the corridor. His sharp, knife-like side face looked very cold, and his eyes were cold.

"Second Young Master." She and other maidservants also bowed down to salute.

"En." The young man responded lightly and left along the corridor. The young maid looked at the direction he was walking, and said to the woman in green: "Isn't that the residence of the third son? The third son is so close." Just now the newlyweds did not accompany the wife, so they came to see the third son.

The woman in green turned her head to look at her, with a trace of coldness in her eyes, "Have you forgotten the rules of the Hou Mansion? You can still gossip behind the master's back?"

The servant girl also reacted, and lowered her head in shame, "I know."

"Speak less, don't forget your duty." The woman in green sighed.

Besides, the young second son is Pei Yiqing, the son of the Hou family. He has now reached the fifth rank. It is also puzzling that she only married her main wife in [-], and she is only the daughter of a petty official.Pei Yiqing came this time to thank Pei Huaiwen for his congratulatory gift. Pei Yiqing's love of chess is not known to many people, and Pei Huaiwen is one of them.

The incident of Pei Huaiwen falling into the water half a year ago can actually be blamed on Pei Yiqing. That time, Pei Yiqing almost fell into the water unintentionally, but he was saved by being pushed by Pei Huaiwen next to him.Of course, Pei Yiqing will not forget the grace of saving his life, let alone his own brother, although he was not very close before.Pei Huaiwen is a concubine son, his mother died young, and he is not favored in the mansion, so it is impossible to have any communication with his concubine.After falling into the water that time, Pei Yiqing came to see him several times. Pei Huaiwen didn't blame him. When he came, Pei Huaiwen didn't stop him. He still did his own thing.After going back and forth, Pei Yiqing actually felt that the temperament of the third brother was compatible with him, so he got closer to him a lot.

The second Pei Huaiwen was the counselor of the Third Prince. On weekdays, when Pei Yiqing came to sit down, he occasionally talked about business matters. Seeing that he didn't mind, Pei Huaiwen also mentioned something, which surprised him.As a counselor, Pei Huaiwen was good at chess, and he and Pei Yiqing started playing chess unknowingly. He didn't expect that Pei Yiqing's chess strength was not bad compared to his, and the two of them also cherished each other on the chessboard.

When Pei Yiqing got along with Pei Huaiwen, he really regarded this man as his younger brother and loved him. He came to see him just after getting a gift from him as a newlywed.

"Second Young Master, please, Third Young Master just woke up from a nap and is drinking tonic soup." Lan Fu smiled and brought Pei Yiqing in. Pei Yiqing followed her into the room and looked at Pei Huaiwen who was sitting at the table drinking soup.

The tonic soup is made of various medicinal materials. It was boiled by a maid and poured into a plain white enamel bowl. Pei Huaiwen scooped it up slowly with a small silver spoon. Pei Yiqing smelled the medicine as soon as he got close. Pei Huaiwen drank it without changing his face. I also admire it in my heart, it must be very hard, and the third brother is also used to it.

He thought about it in his heart and looked for a way to see if there was any way to make the third brother get better.

Seeing him coming, Pei Huaiwen smiled and said, "Why is Second Brother here today? You just got married and don't accompany Second Sister-in-law?"

Pei Yiqing also laughed, "Your sister-in-law is busy with grandma, I'm afraid you'll be bored to accompany you by yourself, but you'll dislike me."

Although it was a reproach, it could be seen from the corner of Pei Yiqing's smiling mouth that he was in a very good mood.The Marquis of Zhaoyuan, Pei Ling, is the head of the Hou's mansion. Pei Ling was born as a general, and he was conferred the title of Marquis of Zhaoyuan only after he made illustrious military exploits. He is still a general now.Pei Yiqing is Pei Ling's legitimate son, so he naturally has the aggressiveness and sternness of a sergeant all over his body. Although Pei Yiqing has been in the officialdom and is not interested in marching and fighting, his education and influence from childhood should not be underestimated.Speaking of which, Pei Yiqing's uncompromising personality sounds like a straight-forward character, and if it doesn't sound like a dead end, no matter who he decides to be, you can't persuade him, so Pei Yiqing is not so comfortable in the officialdom.

Pei Huaiwen knew his character, so he didn't say much, and sometimes a person's way of life didn't need others to talk too much.

He smiled and picked up a pot of tea that Lan Fu had made, and poured the tea into the cup in front of Pei Yiqing himself, "What the second brother said is that my brother has apologized."

Pei Yiqing scolded him with a smile.The newly imported Dragon Well is fragrant, and it dilutes the fragrance of the whole room. After drinking a few cups of tea with him, Pei Huaiwen took out the chessboard and wanted to play chess. , will you pose?"

"What? Second brother wants to solve it?"

"Of course, why don't we have a competition to see who can solve the chess game first."

Pei Yiqing really loves chess, Pei Huaiwen smiled, and said: "I have no problem, but this is an ancient chess record, how can it be unraveled overnight, how can the second brother have time when he is busy all day long? If I win, it is not victory." Is it not martial?"

"You are confident," Pei Yiqing glanced at him, "But you are right, I will be busy in a few days."

"What happened last time?"

"Well, the emperor attaches great importance to the floods in Yongzhou. The last time he investigated the corruption and bribery case of the officials who built the embankment, the emperor was furious. This time, I have a lot of things to do when I am new in office."

Pei Huaiwen put down the teacup, tapped his fingers on the table, frowned and pondered for a while, "Is the official who was arrested last time in the bribery case surnamed Zhang? Is it from Zi County?"

Pei Yiqing was surprised, "Yes, you know?"

Pei Huaiwen smiled lightly, "I will go out of the house a few times now, and those who heard about it in the restaurant heard about it, because the second brother once mentioned a few words, so I paid more attention."

Pei Yiqing nodded, and after playing a few games with Pei Huaiwen, he left. Before leaving, he invited him to go out to meet his friends the next day.

"My friend has a doctor who is familiar with him. He is skilled in medicine. I want to let you meet. In a few days, my second brother will leave for Yongzhou to check the situation. I don't know when the matter is over, so I have to meet in a hurry. What do you say?"

Looking at Pei Yiqing's gentle and worried eyes, Pei Huaiwen's heart warmed up, and his smile also warmed a lot, "I can do it, my second brother's friends must also have the same good temperament as my second brother, I just hope that I don't let my second brother be ashamed gone."

"That's not true, Zhiming's temperament..." Pei Yiqing paused, as if he didn't know what to say, "You'll know it when you see him. He has a free and easy temper, but he doesn't care about vulgar etiquette."

Pei Yiqing said a few words and then left. After Pei Huaiwen sent him away, he sat alone in the room and meditated. Lan Fu carefully cleaned up the chessboard on the table, and made another cup of hot tea in front of him.

Flooding, corruption, the surname Zhang in Zixian County... Pei Huaiwen's eyes became darker. He still remembered that in his previous life, when he was the counselor of the Third Prince, he persuaded the Third Prince to take this job. The evidence of official corruption and bribery was also the third prince. The purpose of finding out is to greatly reduce the prestige of the emperor, and let the third prince work on errands to win the hearts of the people.It's a pity that the third prince didn't get what he wanted in the end, because of this incident, the patience of the third prince dropped sharply. This can be said to be a harbinger of the decline on the road of the third prince's rebellion. As calm as before.In the previous life, no matter how many heartfelt words he said to persuade him, the third prince would not listen. After that, he had no choice but to hope that one blow would kill him, but he was completely defeated.

In the final analysis, there is no good future for rebellion. Why is the Third Prince unable to think about it? !

Pei Huaiwen smiled, the smile on his lips was cold, is the throne so attractive?Even if you are alone, you must be honored forever.

But this life is different after all, for example, because of his suddenly prominent Qi Mansion, because of his personal relationship with the Third Prince, the Qi Mansion that had nothing to do with the Third Prince's rebellion in the previous life, will be dragged into the quagmire in this life among them?Naturally, Pei Huaiwen would not let this happen.

Pei Huaiwen originally hoped to live his life in a mediocre manner, but if it involved the Qi family, he would not be a sick cat. The demeanor of the eldest son of the Qi family would still be there even if he became Pei Huaiwen.

This time Pei Yiqing snatched the errand that the third prince wanted to take over, it must have been arranged by the emperor, poor Pei Yiqing just caught fire at the city gate and hit the fish in the pond.However, Pei Huaiwen felt inexplicable sadness when he thought that the Third Prince would still go the same old way without him as a counselor. Even though the details were different, the ending still remained the same. Is this life also the end of failure and tragic death?

The next day, Pei Huaiwen and Pei Yiqing went to the restaurant to meet his friend Jiang Zhiming. Pei Yiqing really didn't have many friends, so Pei Huaiwen naturally made good preparations in advance.

The three of them met at the famous Huiweixuan in Beijing, which was chosen by Jiang Zhiming. I heard from Pei Yiqing that his friend is very particular about eating, drinking and having fun, which is quite different from Pei Yiqing.Pei Huaiwen walked behind Pei Yiqing. As soon as the door of the box was opened, Pei Huaiwen smelled a strong aroma of wine, and Pei Yiqing's face turned dark instantly.

"You're really laid back." Pei Yiqing walked in, the gnashing of teeth in his voice.

There was only a slight burst of laughter, not loud but it sounded very unrestrained and unrestrained. Pei Huaiwen walked in and glanced into the room, and saw a young man leaning lazily by the window. He seemed to be younger than Pei Yiqing. With a handsome face and a lazy smile on his lips, he looks like a romantic man, but judging from the nobility in his gestures, he must be a well-educated tutor.Mr. Merry raised his eyebrows, and passed the wine cup in a circle towards Pei Huaiwen, with a wicked smile on his lips, "This is Mr. Pei, right? .”

Pei Huaiwen smiled, and wanted to answer, but Pei Yiqing walked over and said bluntly: "I told you beforehand that my brother can't drink, Jiang Zhiming, please stop making trouble."

Jiang Zhiming shrugged and smiled innocently, "I'm just toasting, and I don't have to ask Brother Pei to drink. I don't mind replacing wine with tea."

"Okay," Pei Yiqing greeted Pei Huaiwen to sit down, then ordered Xiao Er to serve a pot of tea, and ordered some of Pei Huaiwen's favorite snacks.While doing this, Jiang Zhiming kept staring at Pei Huaiwen with a smile, the curiosity and interest in his eyes were undisguised.

In fact, when the two came in at the beginning, Jiang Zhiming focused his attention on Pei Huaiwen, and asked Pei Yiqing to personally ask the person to take care of him, even if he was a younger brother, but who doesn't know the dirty things of the big family, really brothers and sisters are respectful It's common, so Jiang Zhiming is very curious.And at a glance, Jiang Zhiming felt that the young man with gentle eyebrows and eyes was not simple. He knew what Jiang Zhiming looked like. In the eyes of a romantic young man, Jiang Zhiming almost never fails to laugh.When Pei Huaiwen walked in, there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, but after that, Jiang Zhiming didn't see any change in his expression. He was very good at hiding and controlling his emotions, and his emotions were invisible. Well, it's really strange, he thought that with Pei Yiqing's temperament, he wouldn't like to deal with such a deep person.

While Jiang Zhiming was surprised, Pei Huaiwen was also surprised, but he hid all his emotions from the bottom of his heart.Ever since Pei Yiqing said that Jiang Zhiming had a free and easy temper, he had been prepared, but he was still surprised when he met Pei Huaiwen, otherwise why would he show surprise for Jiang Zhiming to find out.In Pei Huaiwen's heart, although Pei Yiqing's temperament is sassy, ​​he is also polite and self-disciplined. He is very different from Jiang Zhiming's... free and easy temperament. The two are actually good friends, what a fate!
