Chapter 267 Pei Ying’s Difficulties

Not long after Zhang Huan went to the court, Pei Ying also left the house immediately.

When she was advising her farmhouse, Pei Ying got off the carriage. She stared at the golden sign for a long time. She wondered what this woman who was famous in the capital looked like?

A rude girl came up with a smile, "Would you like to find someone or have a meal?"

The maid Xiaoqiu immediately came up and said, "My wife is..."

Pei Ying raised her hand and stopped her words, "I'll come to find your boss, Jingniang, and she will send me an invitation in the morning."

As she said that, Pei Ying gently displayed the invitation in her hand. Hu Ji recognized the invitation specially used by the owner at that time. She did not dare to neglect her and immediately respectfully invited Pei Ying to the third floor.

"Please sit down for a while, and the owner said she will come immediately."

The charcoal fire in the room was very warm, and Pei Ying took off her outer clothes and looked at the room. It seemed that this place was not an elegant room for eating, but a bit like a study room. It was elegantly decorated and exquisitely decorated, showing the care and tenderness of women everywhere. However, a picture of thousands of miles of military service was hung on the wall, which was a general who led tens of millions of Tang soldiers to fight the west. This picture was incompatible with the mood of the room. Pei Ying stood under the painting and looked at it for a while.

"You think you should have a picture of a lady here, right?" A gentle voice came from behind. Pei Ying turned around and found that someone walked out of the inner room. She was wearing a red grenade skirt, slightly pink, lightly blushed, and her hair simply tied a bun behind her. She looked about twenty years old and very beautiful, especially her eyes, which turned out to be blue.

Pei Ying, with the care and sensitivity of a woman, saw that she had just taken off her makeup and changed into clothes.

"You are Jing Niang!" Pei Ying said calmly: "I am Zhang Huan's wife, Pei Ying."

After Jing Niang sent the letter away early in the morning, she dressed up carefully and took two hours. As soon as she finished her makeup, Hu Ji came to report to her at the door, and a wife came to look for her, and she also took her invitation.

Through the window, Jingniang saw Zhang Huan's personal guards. Needless to say, the person coming must be Zhang Huan's wife Pei Ying. She was surprised and nervous, and didn't know what Pei Ying's arrival meant. Of course, if she wanted to marry Zhang Huan as her concubine, she would not be able to enter the Zhang family without Pei Ying's nod.

After washing all the badge and changing her outfit, she decided to face the upcoming test with her real self.

Although Jing Niang has long been famous in Chang'an, in terms of identity, she is just a commoner and is far from being compared with the princess of Zhangye County Prince. She stepped forward and gave a deep bow, "Jing Niang meets the wife."

"You don't have to be polite!" Pei Ying saw that she was polite, and her anger faded slightly. A smile appeared on her pretty face, and her tone became much softer. "It's really indecent to call you the boss, so I'd better call you Jingniang!"

"I dare not, please sit down, madam."

Jingniang asked Pei Ying to sit down and ordered the maid to offer tea. She pointed to the painting on the wall and said, "This is Tianbao Gaoxianzhi's western expedition to the stone country. My father is one of the young masters."

Pei Ying nodded, "So you are a player of the Long March, and you are disrespectful."

The two of them exchanged a few greetings and talked about some Western styles. They gradually became familiar with each other. Seeing that the time had come, Pei Ying took out the invitation from Jing Niang, put it on the table and pushed it over. Jing Niang's face turned red. She apologized with a whisper, "This is abrupt thing for Jing Niang, please ask the wife to atone for her sins."

"Nothing, I came here today to learn about the situation first." Pei Ying looked at her and smiled slightly, "How long has the girl Jing known my family?"

Jing Niang sighed softly, "It's a long story. I used to be a wine-selling girl in a small wine shop. When I first met Governor Zhang, he went to Beijing to take the exam and happened to live opposite my small wine shop. Later, with his support, I opened a wine shop in Pingkangfang. The business was booming, but someone forcibly snatched away. Governor Zhang bought this farmhouse and let me manage it."

Pei Ying was stunned. It turned out that Zhang Huan bought the escort household. He had never told him, but no matter how surprised she was, she still maintained a polite smile on her face.

But he thought to himself: "It turns out that she won't be long before she gets to know her, she is all old people."

Pei Ying's original intention today was to test Jing Niang. She really wanted to marry Zhang Huan, but she just made a show and found a backer. Now that she understands that Jing Niang is also an old person, it means that she really wants to marry Zhang Huan. From this we can see that her husband respects him quite respects him and did not marry her into the mansion without authorization. Thinking of this, Pei Ying's anger disappeared. She knew Zhang Huan's temper very well, which was too nostalgic. He collected the dilapidated furniture and items he lived in the Zhang Mansion in Taiyuan, like a treasure. Uncle Mu in the Daming Palace was old. He also took Uncle Mu from the palace to Longyou two years ago to enjoy his old age. This Jing Niang was probably one of his old lovers. This matter was not easy to deal with!

Pei Ying lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and then said frankly: "I thought that with the current reputation and status of Jing Niang, I would definitely not be a concubine, but if you really want to marry to get sick, I can also promise you to enter my house. But my ugly words must be said in front of you. You can only commit yourself as a concubine, and you must give up your identity as the host of the farmer and serve the men at home with peace of mind. Do you understand?"

Jing Niang nodded silently, she raised her head and looked at Pei Ying's eyes and said, "I have the blood of a Hu people and have been married long ago. I don't care about my status, and it's nothing to be a concubine, but Governor Zhang promised me that I can still run a restaurant in the future."

"Absolutely not possible!" Before Jing Niang finished speaking, Pei Ying flatly refused, "Go Bing is a dignified Minister of War, and is a subordinate of the Secretary of the Central Committee. How could his wives and concubines go to the streets to be brides? Frankly speaking, if it weren't for your old man, I wouldn't have promised him to marry a woman who runs a restaurant as a concubine. There is no choice. Either enter our mansion to be a wife, or continue to be your boss to persuade farmers to live in a farm."

"But Governor Zhang..."

"It's useless for him to promise you that I am his wife, and I am the one who manages this family. In principle, I will never give in."

Perhaps he felt that his words were a bit heavy, Pei Ying relaxed his tone and said earnestly: "My grandma Jing, you are also an experienced woman. You should know that the court is sinister. You are so young and at a high position. How many people will not accept him? If he loses a war or kills a man, it is nothing. No one dares to slander him. But if his wives and concubines smile at the restaurant, it will be completely different. Not only will the scholars and officials impeach him for disrespect for etiquette, but the people will also ridicule him for being unruly in the backyard. Even his soldiers will not be able to raise their heads because of their commander. This will ruin his reputation and affect his future. Therefore, I cannot agree to you. Please understand my painstaking efforts and also forgive my ruthlessness."

After saying that, Pei Ying stood up and gave a deep salute to Jing Niang.

Jing Niang was silent. Although she had half of the Han ancestry and lived in Chang'an for many years, she was still a singular sensual sensuality in her bones. She never thought that a woman had to live in seclusion when she married and could not have her own career. Over the years, she went from a singer to a wine seller and a big shopkeeper, one of the three major restaurants in Chang'an. She had fallen deeply in love with her career. Of course, she hoped to get a belonging, but the premise of this belonging would not affect her career, and Zhang Huan also agreed to her.

But now Pei Ying's decision has left her with no choice. Will she choose to marry Zhang Huan and give up her career? No! If that is true, she would rather marry an ordinary citizen, at least she still has freedom.

Slowly, Jing Niang raised her head, her eyes became extremely bright and firm. She tore the invitation in her hand into pieces and smiled slightly and said, "Madam, I'm sorry for causing trouble for you. Just pretend that this has never happened."

Pei Ying also smiled. She likes such a woman, decisive and rational. She stood up and said sincerely to Jing Niang: "Although we can't be sisters, I hope we can become friends. If you have any difficulties, come to me. I will do my best to help you."

Jing Niang nodded and said with some emotion: "It's really his blessing to Zhang Huan to marry you. Don't worry, I'm going to Jiuquan tomorrow. I want to open a branch there. I haven't been in Chang'an in the past one or two months. I will leave him a letter to Zhang Huan and I won't pull you in."
