Tu Qingyu: "Isn't this the result she wanted?"
A few days later, Tu Qingyu asked Pei Jian to go to the farm to play, but Pei Jian did not respond.
He was already restraining himself and subconsciously distancing himself.
"Sir, this is the post sent by Sir Tu, you..." This is the nth post sent by the Tu family during this period.
If this continues, the outside world will probably speculate whether there is any disagreement between the Lord and Lord Tu.
"Push it." Pei Jian said without thinking.
The Tu family had never posted many messages before, but now they have posted so many. I’m afraid it was not the little girl who instigated her father to do so.
He stood up and took the umbrella from the attendant, "Go to the south of the city and prepare the car."
"yes."
When the carriage was halfway through its journey, the attendant suddenly came in and reported, "Sir, it's the master."
He opened the curtain and saw Pei Kangsheng, his cheeks slightly flushed from drinking, coming out of the building with his arms around a woman.
There was no emotion in his eyes, but his hands gripped the scroll even tighter.
"Go, take him back and make him kneel in the ancestral hall."
"yes."
It took him half a day to finish his work, and when he returned to Pei's house, it was already evening.
Pei Kangsheng had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for two hours and was completely sober.
He was kneeling all over the place. Pei Jian glanced at the attendant beside him. The attendant understood and stepped forward and kicked Pei Kangsheng.
"Who?!" Pei Kangsheng woke up with a start. He turned around and saw Pei Jian looking at him expressionlessly. "Father, father."
In fact, Pei Jian was much more handsome than Pei Kangsheng, with a handsome face. If it weren't for Pei Jian's aura and Pei Kangsheng's word "father", no one would have thought of them as father and son.
Pei Jian stood in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly.
Before he could say anything, Pei Kangsheng was already panicking.
He spoke hurriedly, "Father, please listen to my explanation. I didn't go there, I just wanted to talk about poetry with friends. I didn't look for the girls in the building. No, I only look for girls who sell their art but not their bodies. I asked them to come here just to listen to the music, father."
"There are so many manors and houses at home, but they are not enough for you to discuss poetry. You should go to Qinlou and Chuguan to discuss it."
As he spoke, he washed his hands casually. After washing his hands, he lit three incense sticks.
While he was slowly burning incense here, Pei Kangsheng started explaining over there.
"Father, this is the general trend in the capital now. Most of my classmates will go. If I don't go, wouldn't that be a bit too eccentric?"
"Besides, even if you don't like it, you can't..."
Pei Jian just looked at him quietly, and Pei Kangsheng's voice of sophistry became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be heard.
He then spoke again calmly, "You have a fiancée. When we got engaged, the Tu family's conditions were that you wouldn't marry any other women or indulge in extravagant living. Have you forgotten?"
Pei Kangsheng: "Father, I really didn't indulge in wine and women. Besides, how can the affairs of scholars be considered as indulgence in wine and women?"
This is obviously a very elegant thing, but his father is very old-fashioned and doesn't understand romance at all.
After saying this, he muttered again, "Besides, it's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines..."
"Someone come."
Seeing that he ignored everything he said, Pei Jian simply gave up on communicating.
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone came in with a rattan stick.
Pei Kangsheng was dumbfounded. "Father... why did it come to this?"
"I'll fine you twenty strokes. If you do it again, it won't be just twenty strokes."
"Father……"
"Do it."
Pei Jian didn't waste any more words with him. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the ancestral hall.
Those who could be brought into the ancestral hall by Pei Jian were all his confidants.
If he said he would take action, then he would really take action. No one would lie.
Those twenty hits were solid and solid.
In the end, Pei Kangsheng was carried out of the ancestral hall.
He felt both hatred and fear.
He just couldn't understand why his father would do such a thing to him when he just went to a brothel and didn't have any sexual relations with any prostitutes.
That night, he developed a high fever. While the palace physician treated him, he kept muttering, "Wait... wait for me to inherit... I will definitely, definitely... wait... for the gentleman's revenge..."
The court doctor was terrified. How could he say such words? How could he hear such words?
He finished writing the prescription with trembling hands, then glanced at his master who was standing there and had heard what he said.
There was no emotion in the adult's eyes, as if he had expected him to say such a thing, or even if he said it, it didn't matter.
In the eyes of adults, such outrageous words seemed like the common hawking sounds in the market.
"Sir, the young master is fine. He just needs to take some medicine and take good care of himself."
"Go down and get the medicine."
"yes."
The court doctor went downstairs to get the medicine, leaving only the servants in Pei Kangsheng's yard shivering.
They really didn't know that their young master could be so bold.
Just when they thought that Pei Jian was going to punish them, Pei Jian turned around and left without saying anything.
Not long after, the court announced a decree.
Anyone who has achieved fame and honor is not allowed to go to places of entertainment.
If caught more than three times, the punishment may be demotion at the very least and removal of official title at the worst.
In fact, this law has already existed in our dynasty, but Pei Jian brought it up again and improved it.
It was only a common practice in the past, but it has become common for scholars and poets to pretend to be cultured.
Many people hold poetry readings in such places, and sometimes they would even spend a fortune to win the smile of the courtesan.
Such extravagant spending will even be regarded as a good story.
Now, let alone ordinary scholars and juren, even important officials of the court would not dare to offend Pei Jian at this critical juncture.
But they didn't understand why Pei Jian would bring up this law again for no reason.
"I heard that the young master of the Pei family was taken back from the gate of Yihong Tower by the master's personal attendants that day."
"No wonder, it turns out it's to educate the younger generation in the family."
"I think this gentleman is the same. It's fine if he keeps himself clean, but why does he not allow his son to go?"
"Yeah, you say, are there really men in this world who don't think about sex? Could it be..."
"Hush, you're crazy! If this gets out, you'll lose all your fame and reputation."
"What are you afraid of? Who can hear you in this place?"
"That's better to stop talking."
…
After this incident, there were complaints in the court, but no one dared to express them to Pei Jian.
After Pei Shengkang recovered from his injury, he went to Tu's house in person and gave Tu Qingyu some small gifts.
"Miss, this is the Pei family's stuff again. Should I just put it in the warehouse?"
Chunliu came in holding an antique rosewood box.
Tu Qingyu knew that this time it was not given by Pei Kangsheng, but by Pei Jian.
It's obvious at first glance that this box isn't Pei Kangsheng's style.
"Bring it here and let me see it."
"yes."
