Chapter 702 An incident occurred in the military camp
After hearing this, Madam Pei Xiaoshao wiped her eyes and hurriedly hugged her mother-in-law.
"The princess is right, mother. You don't have to worry about not having a family. When the time comes, we will be your concubines and take care of you for the rest of your life!" "
Besides, we women have a hard life. Marrying into the wrong family is like being born into the wrong family. Now that we can get a divorce, it gives us a chance to start over. Why don't we live well?" Madam Pei Xiaoshao cried again.
These words were like a feather brushing across her heart, touching Madam Pei.
She nodded, her cloudy eyes gradually brightened, "Yes, at this age, many things are beyond my control. Now is the time to live for myself."
So Mrs. Pei stood up, took her daughters-in-law, eyes full of gratitude, and bowed deeply to Xiao Nuobao again.
As for the sons of the Pei family.
The Jiang family also thought of a way out for them.
After returning, Jiang Fengze called the people from the Ministry of Justice to discuss it together, and they were absolutely sure that they had nothing to do with treason.
Moreover, they had been fighting outside for many years and were soldiers who had made great contributions to the court.
They also deserved to be pardoned once.
So, Xiao Nuobao planned to do the same and sent someone to the army to deliver a letter.
As long as the sons of the Pei family were willing to sever ties with Old Pei, they would not be convicted of treason.
The military camp where the eldest son of the Pei family was located was the closest to the capital. When the letter was delivered to the army, he immediately burst into tears when he saw that it was written by his mother.
They had long been fed up with the behavior of Old Pei and had already disowned him in their hearts.
Now, the princess came forward and gave them the opportunity to break off the engagement, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise for them.
The sons of the Pei family were overjoyed. They bit their fingers and pressed their big handprints on the letter of breaking off the engagement, fearing that if they were a moment late, the matter would be invalid.
The colleagues in the army were quite surprised to see this.
"Why are you so happy? It's not time to pay the military pay yet?"
"Haha, from today on, even if I don't get a penny of pay for five years, I'm willing!" The eldest son of the Pei family looked relieved, and when he walked out of the military tent, the corners of his mouth were still grinning behind his ears.
What Xiao Nuobao didn't know was that many years later, when the Pei brothers met again and went home, they all showed contempt when they passed by a small grave mound in the suburbs of Beijing.
"I heard that this is where the old guy was buried? If any of you are willing, go and burn some paper. Anyway, I won't go."
"I won't go either. This is not my father, but your father!"
"No, your father!"
The brothers were like passing the buck, and they felt annoyed even to look at the earthen grave mound for a second longer.
It can only be said that people do things and God sees them. Some things are not unrewarded, but the time has not come yet, just like Old Pei.
As for those who were involved in treason besides Old Pei, like Mrs. Pei, they were all interrogated by the Ministry of Justice, detained and executed.
The matter came to an end soon.
By the time the common people heard about it, the dust had settled.
When people heard that Mrs. Pei was not implicated, they were grateful for the princess' kindness and were very happy.
After all, this old lady often gave porridge to the poor, and she was well-known among the people.
In the blink of an eye, autumn has already arrived.
And the Jiang family is welcoming a busier and more fulfilling life.
The autumn harvest is approaching, and the farm has been intensively preparing.
Jiang Fenghu runs between the old farm and Xiaoliu Farm. Every night when he comes back, he is stepping on the moonlight and covered in stars.
Not to mention Fengze and Xiao Lanyi.
In order to prevent Gu Pingzhi from making trouble again, twice as many people were sent to guard the city gates and wild roads.
Of course, the two of them also lived in the barracks. The two of them kept each other company. The only thing they were prone to quarreling about was whose turn it was to wash the socks today.
Feng Miao was originally scheduled to sail to Southeast Asia after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At present, he had to go to the shipyard frequently to urge the boatmen to do the final inspection, and to supervise the fellows on board, and to practice martial arts every day.
"After all, we are going to sea to a foreign country, so don't think I am harsh. The sea is not like the land. Once you encounter pirates or any stormy and dangerous conditions, you will know how important it is to train your body well." Feng Miao looked at everyone seriously, and did not forget to practice for a while.
Seeing Feng Miao so strict, Feng Shi always felt very reluctant in his heart, but he could also feel a little relieved.
"Look at our fifth son, he is really thoughtful in doing things, even thinking about practicing martial arts. Seeing him so careful, mother can feel more at ease." Feng sat down and drank a sip of tea.
At this time, Li Qiqiao came in with new cloth and said with a smile, "Mother, don't worry about Feng Miao, this child has big ideas and we don't need them. By the way, Madam Wu sent a few pieces of Shu brocade for us to measure and make autumn clothes. See what style you like."
Feng took it and looked at it. It was all the most fashionable colors and patterns.
She glanced at the chubby little girl who was licking candied haws at the door, and her eyes narrowed. "Mom can wear anything, but let's focus on the children first. This Sichuan brocade needs to be harder, so remember to use soft cloth as the lining."
After saying that, Feng thought of something else, went to the inner room to get a small four-sided table screen with brocade, and handed it over.
"This autumn, no matter what material Mrs. Wu buys, she always thinks of bringing a portion to our family. We don't have anything to give in return. Fortunately, I just found this small table screen in the warehouse. It is so exquisite. She loves these rare decorations the most. I'll ask Madam Zheng to send it to her. It will be just right to be placed on the tea table in her living room."
Li Qiqiao touched it and smiled, "Although this table screen is good, I'm afraid Mrs. Wu can't use it."
"Why?" Feng asked, turning her head.
Li Qiqiao said, "I just came back from her this morning. On her tea table, there was a huge piece of red coral. It was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it."
Mrs. Feng seemed to have thought of something. "Red coral? Could it be the one that the Pei family gave us when they invited us to the Hongmen Banquet?"
Li Qiqiao nodded. "That's it. I should say it or not. Although the Pei family has bad intentions, the red coral is really good. It's as red as pigeon blood. We have one too. I asked you to put it in the warehouse."
Thinking of that ornament, Mrs. Feng shook her head. She really couldn't be interested.
The Pei Mansion incident had taught them a big lesson.
As for the things sent by the Pei family, no matter how expensive and rare they were, she didn't want to display them to cause trouble.
However, the quality of the red coral was indeed good. I don't know where the Pei family got it from and who they gave it to. I think it must have cost a lot.
Soon, after lunch, Feng packed a few underwear, panties, shoes and socks, and wanted the driver to send them to the military camp so that Fengze and Xiao Lan could change them.
It happened that Xiao Nuobao had nothing to do, so he swung his short legs, ran over to grab the bundle, and then dragged Madam Zheng to the door with a smile.
"Mom, my short legs are worthless! Let's go with Madam Zheng to give a trip to my third brother and brother Xiao!"
When they got on the carriage, the wheels creaked and rolled over the cobblestones in the city.
They also passed by a bustling street scene.
Seeing the military camp, Xiao Nuobao was about to jump down, but at this moment, she heard a few sobs and Jiang Fengze's deep voice coming from the military camp.
"Now is not the time to cry, why don't you go and inform their families and call the doctor to check!"
Xiao Nuobao was a little surprised. What happened? She hurried to step in, and just at this moment, Yang Er came out with red eyes.
"Uncle Yang Er, what happened in there?" Xiao Pangya hurried forward to ask.
