Because the Ministry of Personnel is an important department, Pei Ning rushed from Jiangnan to Dongdu, and just in time to arrive in Luoyang during the winter election of the Ministry of Personnel. He was already thirty-five years ago. Even those poor students who did not care about lifelong affairs in order to achieve success in the imperial examinations often got married at such age, but he was still alone. The eight brothers of their family have never been separated. When he came back this time, Mrs. Wei, as the eldest sister-in-law, naturally arranged personnel for him to take care of his daily life, and in the end, it was inevitable that the old man would repeat the conversation again.

"Sanlang, you are already very old. If you are alone, even your colleagues in the court will spread gossip. What's more, you have no shortcomings in your appearance, so why bother yourself because of the rumor in the past?"

"I understand my kindness, sister-in-law. I know the right thing to do."

Pei Ning always respected his eldest sister-in-law, but when he spoke, he was still a little hard before he knew it. Realizing this, he apologized to his eldest sister-in-law, and then said softly: "My brother is now in charge of the Censor General, and he should not come back so early. I have already gone to the Ministry of Personnel of the Shangshu Province to handle the corresponding matters of taking office. It is still early now, so I will go outside."

Wei knew that this brother-in-law had the weirdest temper among his brothers, so he didn't want to say anything. He personally sent him outside the yard, and then shook his head and sighed. Pei Ning walked out through the long corridor and suddenly heard the soft voices of many women in the high wall on his right. He couldn't help but frowned in surprise. Seeing an old mother directing the maids to sweep not far away, he walked up and asked, "I remember that the wall here was abandoned for a few years, but now there are people living in it?"

"Ah, it's Sanlangjun." The old man hurriedly saluted, and then replied with a smile on his face, "My husband has been away for many years, so he didn't know about this. Because his family has grown in number, these unusable places have gradually been renovated. Not only that, Ah Lang also ordered people to buy two houses next to him, so the other men would not live too narrowly. Now the people living here are all young maids, so they are a little smirking. I will report to the wife and control them well so as not to make these noisy sounds that disturb Sanlangjun."

"Young maid?" Pei Ning suddenly widened his eyes and said in confusion, "Whose maid?"

This question made the old man a little dumbfounded. She glared at the maids who were quietly glancing around. Seeing that they were busy cleaning, she took a step forward and whispered: "Sanlang, now that Alang is in the fifth rank of official position, he is inevitably a little favored, and others are like this. The lady is generous, but she just wants to keep some things, so please don't take it to heart. Compared to these, Alang now believes in Zen Buddhism and often fast, and even the wife is more and more convinced of Buddhism. The cost of raising these maids and concubines is very small, far from comparable to the expense of respecting Buddha."

Pei Ning had been out for more than eight years. He never expected that his righteous and honest brother would not only gradually raise concubines like other powerful men, but also believe in Buddhism. He instinctively wanted to slander, but in the end he could hold on. When he left without saying a word, the old man shook his head and sighed.

"Sanlangjun is too strong, but it is easy to break..."

Why was he suddenly recalled to Beijing to serve as a member of the Ministry of Personnel? Pei Ning had learned the clues from the urgent letter sent by Du Shiyi to send his confidant entourage from thousands of miles away. To be fair, the Pei family, which originated from Wenxi, had multiple branches, Shouyang Pei family, that is, the Nanlai Wu Pei, who was mentioned by others, has risen rapidly in the past ten years.

Now Pei Yaoqing is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, his clan brother Pei Cui is the guest of the prince, and his elder brother Pei Kuan is the chief censor. This time he went to Beijing, he added an important weight to the family. However, because Pei Cui was the best friend of Zhang Shuo, he now has a title of high-quality and no real power, but has actually stood aside. Pei Yaoqing was in a difficult position because he was recommended by Yuwen Rong in the past, and he was never favored by Pei Guangting, who had the same surname and different branches. His elder brother Pei Kuan was also charged forward as the confidant of Xiao Song's promotion, and he was extremely dissatisfied with this.

Outside, the prefectures and counties don’t know how much things have been piled up to do, but the court and the people have been abandoned due to party struggles. It’s simply putting the cart before the horse.

With his boredom and depression, Pei Ning was not even a follower, and rode a horse to redirect the boss in the huge Luoyang city. He was born and raised in Dongdu, but because of his studies and later outside the office, he was already a little unfamiliar with the current Dongdu City. Those mansions that changed their doors, those no longer familiar with the restaurants, those strangers coming and going, and even when he walked in a big circle and finally stopped at the door of a family, he looked at the glamorous gatehouse and realized that this was Du Shiyi's private house.

But at this time, Du Shiyi, as the Minister of the Secretariat of the Secretariat, probably had not come back yet. Not to mention, the Secretary of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Secret

Just as he was hesitating whether to go back first or to try his luck at the door, he suddenly heard a crisp ringtone of dinging. Looking in the sound, he saw a ox cart slowly coming. When he stopped in front of the Du family, the curtains were raised, and the one who got off from the high car turned out to be a girl in white. Thinking of the rules of Xiaoqi not leaving the door, he was just wondering, and then he heard a word that he was quite familiar with came from the conversation in front of the door.

“…Master…Another day…”

Pei Ning almost thought about it and rushed forward, and jumped off the horse to the girl who was talking to the door Ding. However, he asked directly: "But the little lady of the Yang family?"

"Ah?" Yu Nu just arrived in Luoyang today and met her aunt and other relatives, so she left the house in the name of seeing her master Princess Yuzhen. However, even though she knew that she was in the filial piety period and shouldn't have come here, he couldn't help it. At this moment, facing such a sudden inquiry, she couldn't help but look up at the person who suddenly appeared. When she touched the pair of cold eyes, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Is it Master Pei?"

Pei Ning was still in Chengdu and then went to Yazhou with Du Shiyi. He had seen Yu Nu several times. At this moment, when he heard the name of Master who had been away for a long time, the frost on his face unconsciously melted a little, and a hint of a familiar person would inevitably be shocked if he saw it. He nodded to Yu Nu, then looked at the awkward Mending and asked, "Have you been back yet?"

At this moment, another sect who heard the conversation was so awesome that he went in to report. So, when the sect that was a little unscrupulous to Yu Nu's question was still hesitating, Chibi had already strode out of the sect. He recognized Pei Ning and saw that it was Yu Nu, he couldn't help but take two steps forward in surprise and joy, and smiled and said, "It turned out that Pei Sanlang and Madam Taizhen came together. It's such a coincidence."

"Uncle Chi, where is the master?" Yu Nu was most concerned about another question, but as soon as she said this, she saw Chibi showing a helpless expression.

"It's a coincidence that the two of you came together, but unfortunately, the man-in-law has been busy these days and most of them have to come back late. In this way, it's not convenient to talk outside. How about you please come into the house and talk?"

Yu Nu was about to agree, but after biting her lip, she asked again: "Where is the master's wife...and my junior brother?"

"Because before the Langzhu went to Beijing, the wife was pregnant and was about to give birth soon, so the wife temporarily lived in Yunzhou. Although the young lady was born safely, because the weather was too cold, the wife and the young lady had not come back yet. However, the young lady was here, and Madam Taizhen was going to meet her?"

"Yes, of course," Yu Nu answered instinctively. When she thought that it was already inappropriate for her to go out in filial piety, she would go to see the eldest son whom she loved by her master's wife. If anything goes wrong, it would be bad. Therefore, she hesitated for a moment and bit her lip and decided to refuse, but at this moment, a gentle voice suddenly came from her ears.

"Speaking of this, I have never seen Junli's son before. Mrs. Yang, since she has come, let's go and have a look together."

Yu Nu only has sisters and no brothers, so from the beginning, she has been hoping that the master's wife can give birth to a younger brother for herself. At this moment, Pei Ning's words made her hesitate finally make up her mind. She nodded vigorously, and when she followed Chibi into the door and arrived at the lobby, she sat down, but she felt uneasy again.

At this moment, she heard the cold-faced young man opposite who had been a little scared since the first meeting, and asked: "When I went to Yazhou and saw Ling Zun, it seemed like yesterday. I didn't want to leave for many years, but Yang Changshi passed away. The dead are gone, you must take good care of yourself and don't be too sad and sad. Junli has always praised you as a genius in music. You will definitely be better than others in the future. Don't let his expectations down."

"I" Yu Nu just felt excited and frightened in her heart, and she didn't know what to answer for a moment. Just when her heart was in a mess, she suddenly heard a voice coming from outside.

"Uncle Chi, it's really my uncle and sister. Didn't you lie to me?"

"Little Langjun, when did I deceive you? But today the Langjun master is not here, you are the only master in this family, so you have to treat the guests well."

"Of course, look at mine."

With this tender voice outside, the thick curtain was lifted by a small hand, and the one who came in was a boy who looked like a little pink ball like a jade slave back then. If you want to say the only difference, the boy's shiny eyes seemed to shine under the direct eyes of others. He tried his best to come to Pei Ning with steady steps, bowed deeply as if he was decent: "Guangyuan has seen the third uncle."

Although most of the other brothers already have children, Pei Ning was still confused for a moment when he saw Du Guangyuan, then nodded slightly and said, "No need to be polite."

After giving Pei Ning a greeting, Du Guangyuan looked at the girl in Pei Ning's lower head curiously, and then grinned. This time, he did not salute like an adult anymore, but rushed forward quickly and said recklessly: "Sister Sister, I heard Grandpa and Niang mention you many times. You are so beautiful, even more beautiful than Grandma."
