Chapter 50 * Really good mother
Pei Min left Jinxiufang and returned to the mansion. He immediately sent an invitation to King Xue Li Longye, inviting him to go out for a trip the next day: his agreement with Li Longye had already agreed to during the innate coup. At first, because he took over the Censorate, he really couldn't get enough time and refused Li Longye's invitation. Later, because Li Longji asked Li Longye to form a polo team to practice polo skills in order to welcome the Tubo envoy, Li Longye was not in a time and mood. The two's agreement was not fulfilled.
Perhaps it was Li Longji's sweep of polo that year, Tubo did not dare to challenge the Tang Dynasty's polo team this time, and Li Longye was also liberated. This time he invited Li Longye to a reasonable and natural. Li Longye had agreed to Yang Ju's invitation. As the prince, Li Longye would not go back on his word. With his personality of gathering together to play, he would always bring him along and play with him.
As expected, Li Longye was very happy to be invited by Pei Min. Thinking that the two invitations were returned to the office, he directly asked Pei Min to follow Yang Ju's appointment.
Pei Min practiced swords in Jiange for a while and learned that the crazy monk Bao Yang was asking for a meeting.
Pei Min enthusiastically invited Bao Yang to Jiange. This time he was able to greatly defeat the Tubo spirit, and Bao Yang's unintentional assistance was a great contribution. If it weren't for what he came to the door that day and used the Wei Tuo Pestle during the competition, he would not be able to identify the identity of the big lama in red from the martial arts methods.
"Thank you Pei Zhongcheng to clean up the portal for me Shaolin!" Bao Yang folded his hands together and thanked him with Buddhist etiquette. He had received news that Benyuan had given him a punishment. In order to avenge his revenge, he found Benyuan for three years, but he did not expect Benyuan to hide in Tubo after the crime. No wonder he could not find any trace.
Pei Min replied, "It's just a matter of raising hands, master, don't care. Besides, if there is no master, I can't accept Tubo's sinister face and gain something from each other."
Bao Yang smiled slightly and said, "The people in the martial arts world are back. Pei Zhongcheng has great kindness with me. If you have any questions, you can come to Shaolin to inform me. I should do my best. If you have time in the future, I hope to visit my temple. I will give you the best of the landlords and ask for advice." When people in the martial arts world said the word "ask for advice", it often means challenging, but the words Bao Yang said at this moment are heartfelt and earnest. As he said, he took out a silk cloth from his arms and said, "My teacher learned the Vajra Leg method in his early years. Shaolin's unique skills cannot be passed on. However, this Vajra Leg method is not listed here. I hope the Zhongcheng will accept it."
Pei Min was so kind that he could not help but take the silk cloth, sent Bao Yang away, and looked at the Vajra Leg Method in his hand. The Vajra Leg Method was written in a very detailed manner. He remembered the practice methods of stance, sand bubble, steel plate, foot stomping, broom skills, and the application methods of raising legs, kicking legs, kicking legs, slamming legs, swaying legs, pulling legs, and sweeping legs, and sweeping legs. It was really extraordinary. But what did he do when using a sword?
In a blink of an eye, he thought of Wang Xiaobai. Wang Xiaobai's legs had excellent skills, and this skill was just right for him. Thinking of this, he put the skills into his arms.
After dinner, Pei Min greeted Pei's mother. The ancients valued filial piety, and greeted their parents sooner or later, and asked whether their parents were safe was a must. If a son of man could not do this, he would be called unfilial and would be despised by the world.
Pei Min had no objection to this, but instead agreed very much. Filial piety is the basis of being a human being. In his opinion, unfaithfulness and unrighteousness are at most corrupt morality, but if it is not filial, it is worse than animals.
Pei's mother pulled Pei Min and spoke.
Looking at her better son, Pei's mother was full of joy, but she was worried about something in her heart. She didn't say anything and said, "Son, what do you think of Hongqu?"
Before Pei Min thought about it, he asked, "What's wrong? Is it because she is unhappy about her mother? The child helps her to punish her!"
"Where is it!" Pei's mother shook her head and said, "Hongqu is diligent and clever. She is not anxious to be happy for her mother, so she is not unhappy. But she thinks you are too old and how can you not have an insider in the house?"
Pei Min finally realized what Pei's mother was saying and hurriedly said, "Mom, the marriage is related to the child's lifelong life, so how can he be so careless? Besides, the child is still young and doesn't want to get married so early."
Pei's mother looked upright and said, "It's too early, it's almost twenty years old. There are children in ordinary people's families."
Pei Min couldn't say anything. It was indeed early in their later generations, but it was not too early in the ancient Tang Dynasty. Especially in the early days of Wude Zhenguan, due to the great turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of the world dropped by three quarters, and the population of the whole world was only 2 million households. In order to increase the population and encourage more births, the court also issued a special rule that men marry at fifteen, women marry at thirteen, and women can marry at fifteen. At the same time, it was issued a rule that women who were fifteen and men who were twenty but did not marry will be severely punished and will also affect the political achievements of local officials. For some reason, local officials in the early years saw that there were "older" singles in their territory, they would be very enthusiastic to help singles say that they were a matchmaker and make their political achievements more beautiful. In that era, there were no species like single dogs.
After a century of development, the population of the Tang Dynasty has grown extremely rapidly, and the regulations are not so strict, but the habit of early marriage is still prevalent.
Pei's mother said softly: "Mom knows that you have a high vision, and girls like you can't get your eyes. These days, the matchmaker who asked her to tell you about her marriage was politely rejected. The words of the matchmaker from parents' orders are ancient principles. My mother is not so pedantic, and my son is very independent. As long as you are not too excessive, I will not give you any hope of holding a grandson for your mother, and I will not interfere with your marriage." She was the victim of "The words of the matchmaker from parents' orders", so she did not impose her wish on Pei Min, resulting in a tragedy of rebirth.
"Mom, you are really my good mother!" Pei Min was overjoyed. He could accept many ancient etiquettes. However, he was rejected from the bottom of his heart when he was arranged marriage, marrying a woman he didn't know at all, and spending his life with him. If he had such an enlightened mother, what else would he be dissatisfied with?
"But" Pei's mother's voice changed, and she said with a solemn expression: "There is only you who have descendants of the Pei family. The family's important task of scattering branches and leaves is only you. You can choose your own family, and you can treat the good man with a lie, and your mother will not ask. I am the one who is in charge of the mercy of the house, and you must put it to your mother. Without a queen, it is a great unfilial matter, and I don't want you to be a crime of great unfilial."
Some joy was so sad. Pei Min was stunned for a while. Seeing Pei's mother's serious expression, she knew that she was not joking. After a while, she said: "Mom! She is worthy of being a real mother!"
"Just tell lies!" Pei's mother reached out and hit Pei Min, "Mom is pregnant with you in October, and there are still fakes? How about it? The red canal is so beautiful, well-behaved, sensible and obedient. She is a maid for you. She can't lose you if you have a child. When you have a child, can you be as a concubine? She can also hold her grandson early and play with her grandson."
"This" Pei Min smiled awkwardly and said, "It's better to leave the Hongqu for you. I'll start to make decisions without asking what others meant, and I don't see if they want to."
Pei's mother gave him a blank look and said, "How do you know that my mother has never asked? My son is so outstanding, Hongqu has the reason to disagree." As she said that, she laughed herself.
"No wonder" Pei Min thought that when he came to the yard before, he encountered the red canal. The shy expression of the little girl looked at him was strange at first.
Pei Min said: "It's enough for me to write down this matter. As for Hongqu. My mother likes her so much, how can I put her in the room? That girl's value is not low. But I spent 1,500 months and a half to buy her to serve her. If you buy another one, the cost in the mansion will be tight in the future."
Pei's mother had no intention of asking Pei Min to spread the branches and leaves for the Pei family immediately, but she was worried when she saw that he was not thinking about this aspect at all, so she forced him to do it and stopped forcing her to ask about the Pei family. The Pei family was his heart disease.
Pei Min replied: "My mother is too anxious to do this, and the child is already operating it. It's strange. According to principles, since Mr. Wenxi passed away, the Pei family has gradually declined and lived up to the grand scene of the court and disciples everywhere in the past. With the child's current status, it is considered unique in the Pei family. For the sake of family development, they have no reason to ignore it and have no action. I heard from Uncle Pei Guangting that the master's family has been very unpopular in recent years. Is there any problem with the master's family?"
Pei's mother's expression changed slightly, and she said for a while: "Actually, my mother once heard your father accidentally say that the earliest call for the head of the Pei family was your Xuan Taigong. It was his sudden death and he was succeeded by the current head. Your father once suspected that Xuan Taigong's death was strange, but because of his mother's affairs, he forced Hedong out of the world and later went to Youzhou. This matter has been too many years. Who knows what exactly? "
Pei Min nodded and expressed his understanding. Seeing that Pei's mother said that the Pei family was in a bad mood, she hurriedly made her amuse herself.
After saying goodbye to Pei's mother, Pei Min returned to the study. Thinking of the current situation, the Pei family: Pei Min didn't have much feelings about the dead grandfather Pei Xuan, but he had an agreement with Pei Jingyuan from another world that he would see each other's parents as his service, and Pei's mother's wish would be fulfilled.
However, the famous family of the Pei family is much deeper than it seems. It is true that I am at a high position and the power of the people, but there is still a huge gap between me and the Pei family. If I don’t have any opportunities or enough strength, it’s better not to get caught in it for the time being.
Thinking of this, Pei Min thought of Zhuangzi's famous saying, "If the water is not thick, then it will be powerless to carry a big boat; if the wind is not thick, then it will be powerless to carry a big wing." It means that the water is not deep enough and cannot bear the power of a big boat; if the wind is not strong enough, then it will not be power to carry a big wing. It means that the iron must be strong himself.
