Chapter 23: Madam Pei

"I've won, I've won, I've won!"

The moment Pei Xingyan swept Mu Ju into Ju's door, the whole audience was silent, but cheers burst out immediately.

"Aunt, we won!"

After Pei Xingyan hit Mu Ju, he rushed directly under a city wall and shouted loudly at the top of the city.

Under the Pei family's banner, the woman who kept cheering for Zheng Yanqing and others showed a bright smile... Her name was Pei Shuying, and she was Pei Shiju's biological daughter. According to her seniority, she was Pei Xingyan's aunt. But in fact, she was less than thirty years old. This was a woman who was unique, very independent, and extremely loyal to emotions.

When he was eighteen years old, Pei Shuying's husband Li Dewu, a minor official affiliated with the Eastern Palace, was sent to Lingnan because of Prince Yin, and it has been eight years since then.

For eight years, whether Pei Shiju or close friends, she advised her to remarry and not to wait for her.

But this woman firmly guarded the sincere love in her heart. She even wanted to leave the Pei family and was unwilling to remarry. Lingnan was thousands of miles away from Hedong... Pei Shiju had no choice but to compromise and follow her wishes.

Pei Xingyan was both afraid and admired this aunt.

Pei Xingyan was also inexplicably happy when he saw Pei Shuying's bright smile.

It has been eight years, and for eight years, I have never seen Pei Shuying's happy smile like this. Xue Shou and others rushed over and pounced Pei Xingyan off the horse; Shen Guang, Dou Xiaowen and Xu Shiji and the others were excitedly surrounded Zheng Yanqing, cheering for this hard-won victory. Changsun Sheng tidied up his clothes and walked towards Xuanwu Gate.

With the sound of a gong, the battle of juju, which lasted for nearly an hour, came to an end.

Yu Juluo looked at Zheng Yanqing who was about to leave with great regret, "This young man has also planned me!"

He cursed viciously, then smiled bitterly.

The compensation is too big, this time it is really big!

Just when he was regretting, an eunuch hurried over, "Lao Zhu Kingdom, the emperor invites you to go over and speak."

"ah?"

Yu Juluo was stunned for a moment and refused to reply.

At the beginning, his brother Yu Juzan, who had been dependent on each other since childhood, was rebuked by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui for his abuse of subordinates. After returning home, he was unable to think about it and committed suicide. Originally, this matter had little to do with Yu Juluo, and from the bottom of his heart, Yu Juluo did not resent Yang Guang... But unexpectedly, Yang Guang was afraid that he would be resentful, so he gave up Yu Juluo's official position.

This made Yu Juluo feel a little uncomfortable!

Yang Guang returned from Yulin this time and issued an order to ask him to go from his hometown in Xiabang to Hanoi. However, when he arrived in Hanoi, Yang Guang did not receive him and directly brought Yu Kuluo back to Luoyang, and issued an order to let Yu Kuluo all the people come over.

Then, there was no news again...

After a while, Yu Juluo's thoughts became cold.

What does Yang Guang suddenly summon him at this time?

"Yuzhu Kingdom, please... Your Majesty is still waiting for you."

Li Yuan also pushed him lightly, and Yu Juluo reacted and hurriedly said, "Old minister obeys the order!"

After the end of the Ju battle between Zheng Yanqing and others, there was a Ju battle presented by the Imperial Guard to Yang Guang.

So, Yan Qing and others cleaned up for a while and then withdrew from Yuanbi City.

There was a sound of powerful drums in the city. I think it was Xiaoguo who entered the venue. However, it had nothing to do with Zheng Yanqing and others.

He held his breath on the court, but after the end of the battle, they all seemed particularly tired.

After all, these people are not too old, and today's Ju battle is particularly fierce, lasting for an hour.

Even Xue Wanche and Pei Xingyan, who are full of energy and energetic, are a little listless.

On the contrary, Dou Xiaowen looked very energetic.

He finally ran into a desperate situation, which could be regarded as breaking open the door to victory. Dou Xiaowen believed that with this collision, he had already stepped onto the steps of the General Hall. The Dou family's eyes would stay on him. As long as he continued to work hard, he would be able to make a name for himself one day. Thinking of this, Dou Xiaowen looked at Zheng Yanqing with gratitude.

Zheng Yanqing looked very tired, mainly because of the pain from his hands that made him feel uncomfortable.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped over and stopped in front of Zheng Yanqing. The knight on the horse was Mai Zizhong.

His black horse was injured by Dou Xiaowen. It is estimated that he would not have been able to recover after a while of cultivation.

Therefore, Mai Zizhong rode a big green horse, and he blocked Zheng Yanqing's way, his eyes were like fire.

"Fatty, can't you afford to lose?"

Xue Wanche snatched his body and stopped Mai Zizhong.

Not only Xue Wanche, Shen Guang and others ran over and looked at Mai Zizhong vigilantly. Mai Zizhong didn't get off the horse, sat upright and stared at Zheng Yanqing for a long time.

"Zheng Yanqing, you are lucky today and you won... I will leave Luoyang as promised. But this matter is not over yet, and I will never give up. I warn you, if I know that you bullied the Pei family's wife, I will not give up with you."

After saying that, Mai Zizhong turned his horse's head and left with his whip and hooves.

Only the rolling dust smoke was left, which made Zheng Yanqing and others cover their noses and cough for a long time.

"This guy dares to be so arrogant after losing!"

Xue Wanche spat several times, waved his hand, spat at Mai Zizhong's back, and said viciously: "Brother, don't be afraid of him! If he dares to cause trouble for you again, tell us, don't deal with this kid."

Zheng Yanqing smiled!

"Brothers, don't you think Mai Zizhong is quite heroic?"

He shook his head and said softly: "If I change my place, I will definitely make him a friend. Although he is a little arrogant, he is still a good friend."

"By the way, didn't Your Majesty say that the winner will be the title of Yunqiwei?"

Xu Shiji asked curiously: "The battle of Ju is over, but when will the title of Yunqiwei be awarded to Yan Qing?"

Xue Shou laughed and said, "What official position do you think Yunqiwei is?

It's just a martial arts official, it's nothing. I heard that when Fang Qiao got a Jinshi in Zhongzhou, the court sent someone to announce it. The title of Eighth Captain means that you can get the title of a clean official when you become an official in the future."

Only then did Zheng Yanqing understand the meaning of Yunqiwei, it turned out to be just an honor.

No wonder Fang Xuanling has been a feather cavalry lieutenant for several years, and he has the real power of the county lieutenant as soon as he gets started. This is actually just a background...

The group went out from Youguang Gate and prepared to cross the Luoshui River.

"My brother, today we will win Maizizhong. We should find a place to celebrate."

Zheng Yanqing raised his brief bandaged palm, "I want to go there too, my brothers, but now I want to find a clinic to deal with the injuries on my hand."

"Oh, that's right!" Xue Su clapped his hands, "I know there is a clinic in Jishanfang. Now that the famous doctor Wu Jingxian has been invited to sit in the hall. Why don't we send a message to celebrate where to treat the injury first, and then find a place to go, and celebrate it well?"

Zheng Yanqing was about to agree, but heard Pei Xingyan shouting softly.

Turning his head and looking, he saw him get off the horse and walk quickly towards the ferry.

There was a small boat at the Luoshui Ferry. On the bow of the boat, a girl in white stood. The wind blew by, whispering her belt, like a fairy. Zheng Yanqing recognized at a glance that the girl was Pei Xingyan's sister, Pei Cuiyun.

Pei Xingyan ran over, "Sister, why are you here?"

"My father didn't let me watch the battle, so I had to wait for you here." Pei Cuiyun said, as she thought about and unintentionally crossed Pei Xingyan's shoulder, glanced at Zheng Yanqing, and then suddenly lowered her eyes.

Xue Shou couldn't help laughing!

He stepped forward and bowed to Pei Cuiyun, "My Lady Pei, my brother Yan Qing was a little injured and was about to go to Jishanfang for treatment. If this was a circle around the city, the journey was quite far. Since Madam Pei had a boat, could she take him for a ride?"

"Mr. Zheng is injured?"

Pei Cuiyun immediately showed panic and looked at Zheng Yanqing.

Brothers, I'm only ten years old... Even if early love is popular these days, it's too early. Zheng Yanqing certainly understood Xue Shou's thoughts. Just as he was about to refuse, Xue Shou grabbed his arm and waved it into the air.

"Ah, then Mr. Zheng should get on the boat quickly."

"My brother, don't say that my brother doesn't create opportunities for you. Miss Pei is a famous talented woman in Chang'an. She won't be weaker than your name Bai Yuanjun... Hehe, work harder, don't let that guy Maizizhong steal the bargain."

As he spoke, Xue Shou pushed Zheng Yanqing onto the pleasure boat.

Pei Xingyan also wanted to follow him, but was grabbed by Yao Yi.

"Old Yao, what are you doing?"

"The boat is too small to sit down!"

Yao Yi said softly, and then said to Pei Cuiyun: "Miss Pei, I'll bother you to send Brother Zheng for a journey. Brother Zheng, don't worry, your baby jade hoof is taken care of by Lao Shen, and there is no problem. We still have something to do, so I won't disturb you."

Pei Cuiyun's delicate face turned slightly red, but she did not refuse, but just nodded softly.

These days, girls are very precocious, and many of them become mothers at the age of fourteen. In addition, influenced by Hu Feng, the customs of the people are relatively open, far less than the saying of ethics and education since the Southern Song Dynasty. Although they are a little shy, they are still generous.

Yan Qing wanted to refuse, but she didn't know how to speak.

He could only glar at Xue Shu viciously, but saw Xue Shu smiling and bowing to him, "My brother, take care of him!"

The boatman who was carrying the boat was two charming little maids.

Pei Cuiyun asked Zheng Yanqing to sit in the oil tent, then said a sound and drove away the boat. The boat slowly left the ferry and went east along the Luo River.

"That boat is not small!" Pei Xingyan was confused, "Why don't you let me get on the boat?"

Xue Wanche picked up a stick and tapped him gently on the head, "What are you doing on the boat?"

"Send a speech to celebrate and go to the doctor."

"It's enough to have Madam Pei alone. You just went over and complained... Could it be that you still want Madam Pei to send Mai Zizhong?"

Pei Xingyan suddenly understood and laughed non-stop.

"Yes, it's enough to have my sister alone... No, Yan Qing is younger than me! If he and my sister... then wouldn't I... no, I have to go over and watch, otherwise Yan Qing really becomes me... absolutely not!"

Pei Xingyan quickly turned over and drove the horse back.

There were no boats at the ferry, so he could only walk back, enter the city from Hui'anmen to the north of Luoyang, and then detour through Tianjin Bridge and pass the Luoshui River to Jishanfang.

Just this detour, will Zheng Yanqing and Pei Cuiyun still be in Jishanfang?

Xue Shou Yao Yi and others looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.

That's right, if Yan Qing and Pei Cuiyun really have that, wouldn't Pei Xingyan call him brother-in-law when he sees Yan Qing in the future?

When he thought of this, Xue Shou and others laughed even more and more out of control.

In the end, Xue Wanche and Shen Guang squatted on the river bank and kept rubbing their stomachs. The laughter echoed over the Luoshui, adding a little bit of energy to the cold deep winter. I don’t know when, the weeping willows on the river bank revealed a faint green... The cold winter is about to pass, but is spring still far away?
