Chapter 167 Prejudice
The Pei family has been in power for thousands of years and has produced countless civil and military officials, including twenty-four prime ministers.
He once entered the officialdom with an average rank of third grade.
It can be said that the court is full of nobles from generation to generation, and swordsmen and shoes are worn in the palace for generations.
Aristocratic families and even the royal family were proud to marry into the Pei family.
Although the dynasty is a little weaker in this era, the thousand-year-old family still exists, and it is still regarded as the "number one family in the world" in the eyes of scholars.
Pei Minru knew that his family was prominent, but he still felt that his second brother's idea was ridiculous.
"Not everyone takes the Pei family seriously and tries every possible means to get close to them."
She replied.
At first, she didn't want to serve the prince, so she asked Feng Qingsui for the love fragrance, and Feng Qingsui agreed without hesitation.
If Feng Qingsui really wanted to curry favor with the powerful, wouldn't it be better for her to tell the prince directly what she was thinking rather than helping her deal with the prince?
But Feng Qingsui did not do so.
Instead, he risked his head and made a love-suppressing incense for her.
If this matter was not of great importance and leaking out would bring disaster to her and Feng Qingsui, she really wanted to tell her second brother about it.
So as to cleanse the prejudice from his mind.
"I will repay Madam Feng's kindness myself. I won't ask you or Mrs. Pei to repay the favor, so you can rest assured."
Although the Pei family believed in "passing down poetry and books from generation to generation", they not only let the men study the classics, history, and literature, but also let the women read poetry and books, so that the talents of the Pei women were praised by people.
But it was simply to allow Pei's daughter to better support her husband and raise her children, and gain a reputation as a virtuous woman.
Anyone who dares to deviate from the norm will be ruthlessly suppressed.
Her clan members did not approve of her opening of Qingquan Academy. They felt that even if she wanted to teach, she should teach the daughters of noble families and not lower her status by mixing with the common people.
Fortunately, her mother supported her and tried her best to persuade her father to allow her to do so.
But she also had to promise not to abuse the Pei family name.
She never thought of borrowing Pei's reputation from the beginning to the end, and never mentioned Pei's women's teachings in class.
Many rich girls who came here for Pei's training were disappointed and dropped out after attending a few classes.
They had teachers in the mansion to teach them, so there was no need for them to come to the academy to study. She did not feel any regret about leaving.
Pei Yunzhan laughed and said, "As long as she gets connected with you, she can benefit from the Pei family's influence. Why does she need the Pei family's stamp of approval?"
Pei Minru: "..."
The prejudice in this person's heart is as high as a basil pagoda.
It's simply unreasonable.
The joy of reunion after a long separation was shattered by his words.
She said coldly: "If the clan didn't forbid it, I would have set up my own family and moved out long ago. Do you think anyone cares about the Pei family?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Pei Yunzhan frowned.
He was not a person who was suspicious without reason, and his speculation about Feng was well-founded.
This was not his first time meeting Feng at Mingyue Pavilion.
He first met Feng more than half a year ago in Xizhou.
At that time, he was visiting ancient temples in Xizhou. When he was on his way to a thousand-year-old temple, he encountered a collapsed river bridge.
Fortunately, his carriage had just stepped onto the bridge and was not killed, but two luxurious carriages and a pair of woodcutters and their wives in the middle of the bridge fell into the river.
He ordered the driver to turn around and return to the shore, and then took the driver, guards and servants with him and went down into the river to rescue people.
The river was only knee-deep, and they quickly rescued the person to shore.
The rich young men and servants and the coachmen in the luxurious carriage were not seriously injured, but the woodcutter and his wife broke one arm, one leg and a head.
Just as he was about to take someone to the hospital, a donkey cart arrived.
The people who got off the car were Feng and her maid.
When Feng learned that someone was injured, she claimed to be a doctor and went forward to feel the pulse of the woodcutter and his wife. Then she walked over to the lively young men from wealthy families and asked them to stretch out their hands to feel her pulse as well.
The wealthy young men waved their hands and said, "No, we're fine. You can show them."
However, Feng grabbed the hand of a rich young man without saying anything, saying that he was bleeding internally and needed to stop the bleeding urgently, otherwise his life would be in danger.
The rich young man was so frightened that he actually gave her an acupuncture.
Seeing Feng's extraordinary beauty, he didn't quite believe that she had medical skills. Then, seeing that she ignored the bleeding woodcutter and woodcutter's leg and insisted on curing the wealthy young man, he became more suspicious of her intentions.
——He must have seen these rich young men in trouble, so he pretended to be a doctor and offered them medical treatment in order to curry favor with them.
He had met countless women like this along the way.
They all relied on their good looks to get close to him, pretending to meet him by chance, or pretending to be in trouble. What's worse, even if their father and brother were still alive, they would still pretend that the whole family was in mourning and beg for his mercy.
He was never one to meddle in other people's business. Seeing that Feng and those rich young men were willing to fight each other, he took the woodcutter and his wife back to the city to practice medicine, and then traveled to other places.
I thought Feng was just a passer-by, but I never expected to see her again on the first day I returned to Beijing.
This woman not only transformed herself into Ji Changqing's widowed sister-in-law, but also became her own sister's savior.
As his status and position continue to rise, his ambition is evident.
Only his sister, who was raised in seclusion and was as innocent as a rabbit, would easily believe this woman.
It's fine if this woman cheated others, but she dared to cheat Pei...
He sneered.
"You really don't know how to live or die."
"A-choo!"
On the donkey cart on the way back home, Feng Qingsui sneezed for no apparent reason.
Wuhua, who was driving the carriage outside the curtain, suddenly said, "Madam, I remember now. We have met that Second Master Pei."
Feng Qingsui was surprised: "When?"
How come she has no impression of such a fairy-like beauty?
"Maybe you were so busy rescuing people that you didn't notice. When we were passing through Xizhou, we passed a broken bridge. It had just broken before we arrived, and several people had fallen into the water."
"When you saw someone injured, you went forward to check. First you saw a pair of injured woodcutters and their wives, and then you saw a rich young man."
"That rich young man looked fine, saying he wasn't hurt. He even asked you to go see the woodcutter and his wife. You said he was dying and gave him acupuncture."
"Mr. Pei was standing next to a carriage, and he seemed to be about to get on."
Feng Qingsui just remembered what she said and said with a smile, "So he was there too. I was so busy looking at those dripping wet people that I didn't notice him."
When many people were in danger and needed to be rescued, she followed her master's teachings and always adhered to the principle of "first the important, then the less serious, first the dangerous, then the slow."
The injuries of the woodcutter and his wife were obvious at a glance, and she was the first to check their pulses.
After finding out that although their injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening, he went to see those rich young men.
As soon as he approached, he noticed that someone was breathing rapidly, so he suspected that the person had organ damage, but the pain might be mild and there were no obvious symptoms, so it went unnoticed.
But after a few hours, the other party may go into shock or even die due to heavy bleeding.
So she insisted on taking the pulse of the rich young man.
Sure enough, the pulse was empty.
Acupuncture was then used to stop the bleeding.
After his injuries were stabilized and I checked on those people, I found that the woodcutter and his wife had been taken away to the hospital.
"So it was Second Master Pei who sent him away."
She chuckled.
The donkey cart stopped immediately.
We have arrived at the Ji Mansion.
She got out of the car and heard Ji Changqing's voice in her ears: "I have something to tell you."
