Even if you ask, the gossiper will tell everything himself.
The head of the Pei family put down his chopsticks and let out a long sigh.
"Three years ago, my father was seriously ill and had been dying for a long time. My mother heard of a folk remedy from somewhere, saying that the umbilical cord blood of a newborn baby could bring him back to life. That's how my son was born."
"Unfortunately, my mother passed away before I was born, without even seeing me. My mother was also too worried and injured during childbirth. She fell ill as soon as I was born, and I have been raised by servants ever since."
Jiang Shiyuan put down his bowl and chopsticks and listened quietly to what the head of the Pei family said.
"The Pei family has been around for a long time, but it has a lot of complicated connections. After my father passed away, the family was in chaos for a while. It was not until my son became the top scholar that I was able to secure my position as the head of the family."
"I know that Xiaolang is taciturn, but he has always been with me, his elder brother, helping each other and studying hard, not for himself."
Patriarch Pei's eyes turned red as he spoke, "We didn't know until Xiao Ye went to the Cui family that we knew that Scholar Cui was so strict."
"We just found out that 굛郎뇾 picked up the pen and chopsticks with his left hand because he was punished for his right hand."
I foolishly thought that this was a gift and showed off everywhere.
"She has never given us any worries since she was little. She is smart, independent, and always the best and most outstanding one in everything. So we habitually regard her as the pride of Pei's family, forgetting that she was just a half-grown child at that time."
"When I saw 놛 laughing so happily yesterday, I realized how unqualified I am as a big brother."
"So, thank you, thank you for filling that vacancy." Patriarch Pei thanked sincerely.
…
Pei Che woke up to find no one, his mind was empty, and out of the corner of his eye he saw a piece of plain paper next to his pillow.
The four characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing——
【Let’s go to enjoy the flowers】
Pei Che finally settled down, washed and changed his clothes slowly, and went out to look for someone.
Pei Che was worried that she would feel uncomfortable in Pei's house as she had just arrived, but he didn't expect to see her coming back chatting and laughing with the head of the Pei family as soon as he left the courtyard.
Jiang Shiyuan didn't see Pei Che, but saw Pei Ziye first.
Pei Ziye had just gotten up. Besides being a chatterbox, he also loved to eat. Anyway, his mouth was never idle.
Pei Ziye smelled the aroma of wontons from a distance, ran over eagerly, called out "Dad", and reached out to take the food: "Dad, how did you know I wanted to eat wontons?"
Patriarch Pei hid the food box behind him and said, "Oops, I forgot to buy yours."
Pei Zi was so angry that his teeth itched: "It's like this again! It's like this every time! Am I your biological child?"
I am really impressed by them. Not only do these two never bring anything with them when they eat, but when they took me out as a child, they always forgot me on the way.
I really don't want to go back to this home!
The head of the Pei family didn't indulge him. "If you have any problems, go find a wife. Look, your uncle is at home, and someone will love him."
The head of the Pei family pointed at the food box in Jiang Shiyuan's hand and said.
Pei Ziye's face suddenly turned dark, and he ran away angrily: "I'll buy it myself."
Watching Pei Ziye walk away, Jiang Shiyuan suddenly remembered that he hadn't heard from Su Liluo for a long time. How far has her relationship with Pei Ziye progressed?
After being separated from Patriarch Pei, Jiang Shiyuan saw Pei Che standing not far away and shouted in surprise:
"Pei Che——"
The ending sound is loud, as if it turned a corner and drew a small tail.
Jiang Shiyuan walked over quickly. If she hadn’t been afraid that the wontons in the food box would spill, she would have run over.
Run over and hug her, hug Pei Jialang.
It was a few steps away, but Pei Che still came over: "Slow down."
"I brought you something delicious." Jiang Shiyuan said as he picked up the food box.
Pei Che took the food box, warmed her hands, and they went back to the house together.
"Eat it while it's hot, or it'll get cold soon."
Jiang Shiyuan put the things on the table, scooped a wonton with a spoon, blew on it, and was about to feed it to him.
Pei Che looked at her movements like coaxing a child, "What did big brother say to you?"
Jiang Shiyuan was always amazed at Pei Che's sharpness, "I told you about your left hand when you were a child."
"Is that why you wanted to feed me?"
Pei Che appreciated it and ate the wontons she brought over.
Jiang Shiyuan put down the spoon and pushed the bowl of wontons in front of Pei Che: "Actually, this bowl of wontons was bought for you by my brother. I also want to say thank you for your hard work."
Pei Che thought of last night, when Pei Zheng blocked the wine for 놛 and patted 놛 on the shoulder.
Although they are brothers, they are too far apart in age. When Xiao was born, Pei Zheng was forced to take care of the business left by his parents. Xiao was overwhelmed and naturally had no time to take care of his younger brother.
“It’s not easy either.”
"My relatives passed away suddenly, and there were a few restless people in the clan. Every time they had a meeting, they would bully me, squeeze me, and make trouble for me. Every time I came back, I would drink to relieve my sorrow. Once, I got drunk and ran to my room and hugged me and cried." Pei Che said slowly.
Jiang Shiyuan laughed out loud: "Brother cried? Then what?"
"Then my sister-in-law came, wiped my tears, and coaxed me back home."
Pei Che smiled and talked about another thing: "The day after Xiao Ye was beaten at Cui's house, my mother actually came to see me. She wanted to take me back."
"I refused."
"Because I know that only by following Master Cui can I win the championship."
"Sure enough, after I rose to prominence, everyone in the Pei family behaved themselves, and no one dared to question Pei Zheng anymore."
"Pei Zheng thanked me and sent all the good things to my villa, such as glazed cups, clay inkstones and eight-treasure tables. He would tell everyone he met, 'For a man like my husband, even the food he eats, even the thread on the sole of his shoe, must be first-rate.'"
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned. It turned out that those were all sent by the head of the Pei family. She thought that Pei Che was "seeking enjoyment".
Afterwards, she felt a little guilty: What a pity that the glass lamp and the clay inkstone were both destroyed by her.
Pei Che said calmly: "So, from the beginning to the end, it was my own choice. I can't blame anyone else."
Hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan's nose suddenly felt sore again: "But in this way, I will love you even more."
Pei Che held her hand and smiled.
"Don't be sad, and please be bold to favor me, Madam Taifu."
I not only learned her words, but also her tone.
Jiang Shiyuan felt awkward for some reason and gave him a glare: "You learned so quickly?"
Pei Che laughed: "Madam, you teach by example, and you teach well."
…
After eating wontons and drinking tea, Pei Che took her around and showed her where he used to live, his old study.
Jiang Shiyuan was also very curious and asked questions about everything, such as where he sat to read, what flowers and plants were planted outside his window, and whether there were birds nesting in the trees in the yard.
Then I came to a conclusion: the old courtyard was more fun, with unkempt fallen leaves, ant nests, bird nests, and a small pond, full of vitality.
Around dusk, the maids in Pei's house woke up, and Jiang Shiyuan and Pei Che went to Madam Pei's courtyard to offer tea.
Several close relatives of the Pei family gathered together, making the place huge.
Before Jiang Shiyuan stepped in, he heard a childish voice shouting:
"Granny is here——"
Jiang Shiyuan was so frightened that he retracted his foot and looked at Pei Che in horror.
No, she is still a delicate flower and she doesn't want to be a 'grandmother'.
Pei Che was calm and gave her three words:
“You have to get used to it.”
I became an 'uncle' when I was born, and became a 'grandfather' years ago.
