Chapter 228: Chen Zai

Hearing the sound behind him, Pei Tuo turned around. The emperor was found with a surprised expression.
Qin Nuo stopped him from saluting and said, "I can't sleep, come out and walk."
Pei Tuo laughed: "The house is simple and makes the emperor laugh."
"The humbler is not never lived, where would be so spoiled." Qin Nuo glanced at him.
Speaking of this topic, the two thought of each other and remembered the snow-bound journey to the north, and the days of hiding in the abandoned tents of herders at the foot of the mountain. There was no speech for a while, and Pei Tuo's expression suddenly fell away.
Qin Nuo gave a low cough: "It's you, you don't sleep at night, how come here to blow snowflakes."
"I think of some old things, and I came here unknowingly." Pei Tuo looked at the old cabin in front of him, and whispered, "The former minister lived here for a few days. This courtyard is the only one left. I can miss the past. "
Qin Nuo was surprised. According to the report of Qian Qiansi, Miss He gave birth to Pei Tuo after Pei Hong's death. At that time, she had returned home. How could you live in this remote mountain?
Concerning Qin Nuo, Pei Tuo explained: "It was the day after my mother died of illness, about six years old. Once the minister was beaten, the child couldn't stand the grievance, so he ran secretly here to hide."
"I didn't expect to hide for two months, and I lived in this hut." Pei Tuo looked at the humble stone house in front of him, full of nostalgia.
Six years old? Qin Nuo was surprised. A six-year-old child went alone into the mountain in such a deserted yard.
"Isn't anyone here looking for you? I mean your uncle."
"I sent two servants to find it the day I ran away, and found that it wasn't found, and that's it." Pei Tuo shrugged.
Qin Nuo was silent. The narrow, shabby stone house in front of him didn't even have a window, and the door was skewed.
"Why not go to the front yard?"
"The other houses are locked and not as comfortable as here. After walking around, I have to be here." Pei Tuo laughed. "The emperor should not look at the dilapidated cottage, but it was very strong and it was summer. It's pretty cool. "
"Aren't you afraid?" Qin Nuo asked again.
No matter how comfortable the environment is, a six-year-old child was abandoned by the only family he could rely on, without any companions ...
For these past events, Pei Tuo didn't have much thought, only smiled and said, "I'm afraid I don't have much, mainly because I'm hungry. Later I can't stand it. I sneak out and look for food."
"Is hunting in Houshan?"
"I wanted to come here, but unfortunately the pheasant rabbit in the mountain was too shameless. After running for a day, I didn't catch any feathers. Instead, I fell."
"At the time, I was so hungry that I didn't stop doing it. I stole tribute in the front of the Pudu Temple. Ha, at that time the incense was very sparse, and the monks lived in poverty. Fruit. Sneak into the night while sneaking in, saving time to eat for a few days, and fishing in the river ... Fortunately, it was summer. Although it was a hard day, it was quite happy. Yes. "Pei Tuo looked nostalgic.
This happiness is compared to the days in He's house. Qin Nuo couldn't imagine a six-year-old child living in isolation from the rest of the world.
"How did you get back in the end?" Qin Nuo asked.
"I remember it was the third time, or the fourth time, when I went to Pudu Temple to steal the tribute, I was caught, then beaten, and taken to the foot of the mountain. Then he was severely taught by the people of He family A meal. "Pei Tuo smiled in shame.
Qin Nuo sighed, "Bitter you." Pei Tuo's childhood was very difficult.
"It's not too much pain." Pei Tuo shrugged. "It's only those few years. Soon, my uncle's ascension in northern Xinjiang has changed, and his life has changed."
Just half a year after he was returned from Pudu Temple, the news of General Pei Jin's closure of General Wu Bei came, and Pei Tuo's treatment immediately changed. That winter, Pei Ye sent someone to He's house again to visit this only nephew. Pei Tuo's life was changing with each passing day.
Fortunately, there was a general. Qin Nuoshun asked, "Aren't you resentful to anyone in the family?"
"When I left, I was very angry. I thought that I would learn martial arts well in the future. I would come back and beat all the guys who had bullied me kneel for mercy."
"Is that dream come true now?"
Pei Tuo laughed out loud. "The emperor don't laugh at the minister. When he arrives in northern Xinjiang, there are so many things to do every day. Who else has the time to control these miscellaneous fish. This is a small thing that has been left behind. "
His smile was bright and free, bright as sunshine.
On the battlefield of Beishuo, there are as many evenly matched opponents as there are like-minded companions in the barracks in northern Xinjiang.
Once the eagle showed high flying, how could he care about the bugs in the pit.
Qin Nuo's mood followed.
Peo Tuo sighed as he turned his eyes to the other hospital ahead.
"It's a pity that this courtyard has been rebuilt since I was taken away by my uncle. He's been sending people to clean up these years, but it's quite neat. I came back a few years ago and found that there are only traces of the past here You can hang it. "Pei Tuo sighed, touching the rough wall in front of the stone house. This humble stone house is very strong, so it was used as a place for debris, and it was not demolished.
This courtyard was rebuilt and rebuilt. Qin Nuo shrugged. From the perspective of human relationships, He Jia's behavior is understandable, but for Pei Tuo, it is by no means a pleasant thing, especially his personality is so love-hate.
Even though he had been harsh on his experience at that time, the He family was more gracious than the grudges to the Pei family, and Pei Tuo also had half of the He family blood. So after Pei Yi took power, he took care of He ’s family.
"At least that year, Pei Hong was arranged to be a relative to your ancestors, and it was a fate." Looking at the snow-covered courtyard, Qin Nuo whispered.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Pei Tuo's face: "The emperor thought, why did his grandparents choose the minister's father as a guardian."
Qin Nuo was stunned, what other inside story failed?
Pei Tuo whispered: "My father was clever and resourceful when he was a teenager, and was good at economics. Therefore, he started to intervene in the family's business and trade at a young age. Especially the several business routes from the northern Xinjiang to the western region. I also made a lot of money back. "
"Although his grandfather was born in Hejia's seven-family house, he was only a neighbor and had no talent for business. The shops in his home had a lot of losses, so he simply wanted to go to the army to find an identity."
"I later heard about my father and tried everything to get him in his hands."
An ironic smile appeared on Pei Tuo's face. These things were gradually understood after he returned to Pei's house.
After a pause, he continued: "It is said to be a close soldier, but in fact it is just a few business roads that carry the northern Xinjiang to the western region. Putting his father in his hands, envy and help, and soon made a fortune the road."
Qin Nuo silently, once the house of the ancient giants and expensive officials collapsed, once the building collapsed, the women and women in the house would be worse than ordinary people.
Pei Hong and Pei Ye were exiled to northern Xinjiang as slaves. This deceased aristocrat's children who were copied and destroyed were incompatible with the soldiers from the bottom. Most of them were the targets of being trampled and bullied in the barracks. If it is OK to make friends with old friends, then the Pei family at that time offended Qing King, and everyone was afraid of it. That's why Pei Yue decided to go north to make a fine work and take on that dangerous task. But Pei Hong was held in the hands of the seven-family man in He's house, but he was also controlled by others.
No wonder, before looking at Qianliji's records, after the death of the seven-room sister-in-law of Pei Tuo, who originally wanted to replace her sister-in-law, the sister-in-law was unfortunately disfigured. Two consecutive coincidences have to make people suspect that someone has tampered with it. But Pei Yi ignored it completely, and afterwards the marriage partner changed to why Bo Rong's daughter, he also readily complied.
At that time, Qin Nuo was still a little strange. With Pei Ye's personality, how could he sit and watch He playing tricks under his eyelids, and finally, he would rather be cheaper than He Borong, instead of choosing Miss He's real brother who is kind to Pei Hong.
"After the uncle took over the power in Northern Xinjiang, most of the business originally belonging to the Pei clan was withdrawn. But those business channels were not used and remained in the hands of the uncle's clan." Pei Tuo whispered.
Based on these business channels, the Qi family of the He family, which was originally only a branch, is now flourishing and is the second to the clan leader of He family in Lingdong. This is regarded as Pei Ye's affection for He's seventh room.
Qin Nuo suddenly understood why Pei Tuo was so disgusted with the family.
"Life is a gorgeous robe. It looks bright on the surface, and it is full of lice." Qin Nuo couldn't help remembering the famous saying.
Pei Tuo laughed out loud: "The emperor's parable is exquisite."
"It used to be in the previous book." Qin Nuo shrugged.
"Looking at the bright and beautiful things, in fact, it may be very unsightly to explore the true colors. Whether it is this bright house or those illusory stories ..." Pei Tuo tonight seemed to be particularly emotional.
story? Qin Nuo looked for a moment and looked at Peo Tuo again with that weird look, the subtle expression when he heard that he had come to Pudu Temple to get a marriage signature.
Recalling the story of the old lady who spins on the waist of the middle of the mountain, the story of the son-in-law and the lover, who became lovers through trials and hardships, became an immediate thought.
"The legend spread in Pudu Temple is based on Lingzun and Lingtang!"
Pei Tuo did not expect that Qin Nuo had guessed the truth. After being surprised, he could only smile bitterly: "The Emperor Shengming."
Qin Nuo was speechless, and the making of folk stories spread, sometimes it was unbelievable, what a Buddhist monk from Purdue Temple supported, and who drove the cranes eastward, turning into a happy scattered fairy on the East Sea.
"But it can spread in just a dozen years, I'm afraid that there are any family members who are helping the situation." Qin Nuo pointed out.
Pei Tuo smiled: "The He family always pays attention to the prestige of the Northern Territory, and compares the famous family of the poem family."
Qin Nuo can understand that any family that has become wealthy to a certain level must begin to pursue reputation. However, this family of people really understands the beauty of publicity and publicity, and their reputation has been leveled.
Turning his head and looking back at the small courtyard immersed in the darkness, the wind whizzed past, and several lanterns under the corridor swayed with the wind.
Qin Nuo suddenly raised a melancholy full of historical vicissitudes.
How short a person's life is, just like the candlelight in front of him, the extinguished, left to the world, maybe there are only some plausible traces, and finally it turns into a story of a thousand miles, and even more, a trace No more staying.
In the opposite effort of the two, the snow and snow continued, and this side of the world was silent and isolated from the world.
Pei Tuo stared at the emperor in front of him.
The wind and snow filled the sky, and the cold wind roared, making him reluctant to recall the same snowy night. He rescued him who ran in the snow and fell.
Qin Nuo felt something, raised his head, and faced his unscrupulous eyes.
Qin Nuo blurted and asked, "Why do you like me? Or my sister."
"Emperor ..." Pei Tuo suddenly panicked. He never imagined that the emperor would ask this question so abruptly and directly.
He thought that after that, the two would completely bury this embarrassing past under the tacit understanding. Only the difference between monarchs and ministers remained.
Qin Nuo was calm. He really wanted to know. In all fairness, that night, the two men in the chaos did not even say a few words, and even the men and women could not distinguish between them. A hurry of tactics ran in parallel and was interrupted by Pei Ye.
Just like yourself? Qin Nuo repeatedly thought afterwards that at that time there was no room for the initiation of romantic love between the two. Pei Tuo's so-called likeness should just be the excitement and delusion of young people after hearing that the girl she rescued turned out to be a princess.
Seeing that he didn't know how to answer, Qin Nuo suddenly laughed, stared at him, and asked consciously: "So, do you still like to slap?"
"Emperor!" Pei Tuo's cheeks were red and embarrassed.
Qin Nuo didn't want to let this topic go so easily, he pointed out straightly: "Have you ever thought that the person you love is just a phantom in your imagination?"
The two parties never knew each other carefully, and fell in love with each other wishfully.
This is so straightforward, because for Qin Nuo, after experiencing Bei Shuo and his party, Pei Tuo is also his valued friend and courtier, hoping that he can really see and get out of this relationship.
After a brief panic, Pei Tuo calmed down miraculously.
"The emperor ..." he hesitated slightly. That night, my heart will move, perhaps because of long-term expectations in my heart.
"All Chen's memories of his mother seemed to be tears and wailing."
"At that time, although Chen was young, she still remembered her mother's crying, because his father died early, and because of the accusations of the He family, apart from crying, she seemed to have nothing else to do. Since childhood Chen was thinking that when she grows up, she must not look for a woman who can only cry. She doesn't have to be strong. She just wants to be strong enough. Even when she is dead, she doesn't give up. Come."
Pei Tuo's voice was gradually muted. Because of this, on the night when the wind and snow were raging and chaos, there was a fascination with the situation where he faced a terrible change but still gave up.
It is a pity that the world is fickle, but in the end, it is such a terrible end.
I did not expect to receive such an answer. Qin Nuo listened quietly, and did not know what it was like in his heart. It seems that there is no room for utterances to be resolved.
The snow was falling and growing, and after a while, the quiet little garden was white and white, and even this humble stone house was covered by the vast white snow.
Finally, Pei Tuo broke the silence.
"The emperor should go back to rest. Any further delay, someone will worry."
Qin Nuo nodded, he turned around and walked towards the main house. Pei Tuo followed him.
As we get out of the small garden. Qin Nuo suddenly opened his mouth.
"Petor."
"Being there."
The young emperor didn't look back. His voice was gentle and clean in the snow.
"Pei Tuo, there are many excellent people in the world. You are still young. Someday in the future, you will definitely meet someone. Maybe her last name, maybe she does n’t have any last name, anyway ... she must be clever and firm. Your heart makes you like and adore ... "
There was silence behind him, and for a moment, Pei Tuo laughed: "Thank you, Emperor, for your kind words."
