Chapter 109 My Father Pei Dafu
Chapter 109 My Father Pei Dafu
"Daddy..." Little Yining had been waiting for her father at the small gate, and when she saw Lin Yuzan, she wanted to hold his hand.
"What happened today that makes you so happy?" Lin Yuzan asked his daughter, who couldn't hide her joy.
Xiao Yining: Of course I’m happy. My fellow villager doesn’t want to go home just like in the book. He wants to live with us in the future.
But this cannot be said. Although she was a little exposed, her fellow villager has been hiding it very well and has not been discovered. She must keep the secret.
"Dad, do you think Grandpa Zheng has arrived in the village? Today I heard many uncles and aunts outside say that it was snowing heavily outside." Little Yining asked.
Lin Yuzan looked up at the sky, which was gloomy. He remembered that he was freezing cold in prison every day, and it was Wang Cheng who sent him a thick cotton-padded jacket that kept him alive. He thought about asking Uncle Zheng Yuan to take the letter from the clan leader, which should arrive in a few days. When the clan leader and the elders see it, they will have a response, and the clan rules will be changed.
"Dad..." Xiao Yining called again.
"It's almost there." Lin Yuzan said lightly.
At this time, Zheng Da returned and said, "Master, Duke Chen sent a letter to my cousin."
Lin Yuzan took it, glanced at it, and then handed it back to Zheng Da, "Give it to him."
Little Yining stared at the post blankly. Why would Duke Chen send the post to her fellow villager? It seemed like they had no connection at all!
"Oh, I have asked someone to deliver the lady's letter to the Yan Mansion, don't worry, miss." Zheng Da noticed that Xiao Yining was staring at him, and immediately replied respectfully.
"A letter written to the Yan Mansion?" Lin Yuzan looked at his daughter.
"I was telling Sister Yan about the interesting things that happened in the store."
Lin Yuzan understood. Although he was young, he had a very smart mind.
"Duke Chen asked your uncle to go to Pei's house for a gathering. Do you want to go with him?"
"Hey, why did Duke Chen ask my cousin to gather at Grandpa Pei's place? That's so strange!" Little Yining asked puzzledly.
Lin Yuzan pushed her daughter's back and said, "Your uncle should be taking you out. Go change into some thick clothes."
Xiao Yining raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Didn't her father hate her being with her fellow villagers the most? Ever since her father and uncle came back, the fellow villagers no longer sat next to her, but sat between her father and uncle.
"Go quickly." Lin Yuzan urged again.
"Oh, then Sister Qing is leaving. Daddy must study hard at home. Sister Qing will test you when she comes back."
When Lin Yuzan saw his daughter's small figure disappear around the corner, he immediately turned around and walked next door.
Wang Cheng had just put the tea set on the table when he saw Lin Yuzan sitting down. "Uh...you..."
"I sent Sister Qing away. It's just right for me to see how that guy will deal with Duke Chen this time. I'll get her to talk when Sister Qing comes back." Lin Yuzan mixed up the teacups and poured himself a cup. "By the way, when will my mother-in-law come back? I miss Wan Niang."
After Li Anhe became a princess, noble ladies in Yanjing sent her invitations one after another, and she had more social engagements. Today, she took her daughter out to attend the Plum Blossom Banquet.
Wang Cheng: "..., my mother will be out for only an hour, wait."
Now they are the only two who have the most free time at home, with little Yining occasionally joining in. However, it is obvious that neither of them wants to take care of the baby. Even Pei Yi, who dislikes him, has become silent.
Pei Yi held the post in his hand and looked at Xiao Yining who was lying in the wheelchair and refused to leave. He said helplessly, "Didn't your father ask you to practice calligraphy today?"
Xiao Yining shook his head and said, "No!"
He asked her to practice writing big characters, and she stared at him while he read.
"Okay!" Pei Yi also sat in the wheelchair and took out the small blanket prepared by Wan Niang to cover him and Xiao Yining. In fact, Pei Yi's legs had long been able to walk without any problems, but he didn't like the habit of kneeling at every turn in this dynasty, so he still traveled in a wheelchair.
Pei Mansion is very lively this year. Pei Dafu has been running the mansion for many years and no one has ever come to visit. But this year is different. There is a shameless child who comes to visit him every day. He accepted him as his adopted son. Today, the child's grandfather came to the house and sat in the hall, occupying his seat as the head of the family. Pei Dafu did not say anything, and looked at Duke Chen comfortably.
The emperor had already found out Pei Yi's background. At that time, the emperor just stroked his smooth chin and said, "The Leng family is full of surprises. Pei Dafu, I will build a ancestral hall for you. From today on, Leng Yi is your son and will continue the Pei family's incense."
"Your Majesty, if Duke Chen knew about this, he would probably come to the palace and beat us up," Pei Dafu advised.
That villain has beaten Your Majesty several times before, and it is impossible to stop him.
"It's okay. I'll ask Wang Ersheng and his son to guard it." Sheng Jingchen had already thought about it.
"Pei Dafu, your son is so unfilial. He doesn't live with you and he's always dawdling when you ask him to come over." Duke Chen was already impatient.
"Don't be upset, Duke Chen. My son just went back to his cousin's place and he needs to take a break." Pei Dafu replied leisurely.
Suddenly a murderous look shot across his face. He coughed lightly and stopped talking.
"Duke, uh... this Master Pei is here." Chen family's housekeeper Zhang San said as he entered the room, followed by Pei Yi and Xiao Yining who had arrived late.
Little Yining climbed down from the wheelchair and shouted, "Grandpa Pei, I'm here!"
"Oh, little miss, you must be careful. If you fall, His Majesty will be sad." Pei Dafu quickly stood up and caught Xiao Yining who was running over, and then led her to Duke Chen. "This is Duke Chen, the great-grandfather of your classmate Chen Jiaoyi."
Little Yining blinked and looked curiously at the old man sitting in the main seat, then bowed politely, "Hello, Duke Chen."
Duke Chen hummed lightly and took out a dagger from his arms. "Take it and play with it."
"Oh," Xiao Yining took it, let go of Pei Dafu's hand, and hid behind his fellow villager's wheelchair.
Pei Dafu: ...Your Majesty is right, he is indeed a heartless person.
Xiao Yining: He gave me a knife as soon as we met. This old man is not simple.
"Greetings, Duke Chen." Pei Yi remained seated and bowed.
"Hmm." Duke Chen looked at the boy in front of him and knew at a glance that this boy was the child of his silly daughter. After not seeing him for a year, he was no longer as timid as before. He was very good, not bad, but the wheelchair was a bit of an eyesore. I don't know what happened to him in the past year to make him change so much.
"Are you a relative of Pei Dafu's?"
"My father is Pei Dafu." Pei Yi had no impression of this Duke Chen and replied directly.
Pei Dafu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help turning around and covering his mouth to laugh.
Duke Chen nodded, and with a gloomy expression, he ordered, "Zhang San, take off his pants."
Pei Dafu:?
Xiao Yining:? ?
Pei Yi: ...
"Duke Chen, you can't do this. There is a little girl here." Pei Dafu advised hurriedly.
"Ah, me? I've seen my cousin naked." Xiao Yining pointed at her nose and said, how could she avoid such excitement.
Pei Dafu: ...
Chen Guogong:......
This did not stop Zhang San from pulling down Pei Yi's pants. Although Pei Yi abandoned the car and ran away at that time, it was more obvious that Zhang San was more skilled. He caught up with Pei Yi in no time. Even his mental strength was useless and he was captured and carried back.
At this moment, his pants were gone and he was cursing constantly. He was completely broken down. He was no longer as calm and gentle as he was before in front of Xiao Yining.
Zhang San turned his butt towards Duke Chen, and Duke Chen nodded, "It is indeed Shu Niang's boy. No wonder he is so disobedient and actually recognizes a eunuch as his father."
Xiao Yining: Oh my, this Duke Chen doesn’t recognize the face but only the butt.
"Is my cousin's butt different from others'?" Little Yining was really curious and wanted to run over to take a look. Fortunately, Pei Dafu didn't let go.
Everyone was speechless again.
Duke Chen calmly took off his cloak and covered Pei Yi with it, then carried him to his back. "It seems that the emperor is taking advantage of my old age and weakness, and has done some stupid things. Eunuch Pei, come with me to the palace to see the emperor."
Pei Dafu's legs were shaking a little. "No, that's not necessary. His Majesty has already rested by now."
Duke Chen has already strode out the door. "The emperor will stand up to see a loyal minister like me."
Pei Dafu grabbed Xiao Yining's hand and immediately said, "Little Miss, go and ask your grandfather to go to the palace to help the emperor. This old man will definitely beat your uncle."
"Ah! My grandpa's rank is not high enough to enter the palace!" Little Yining was dumbfounded, things changed too quickly and she was a little confused.
"He knows how to enter the palace." Pei Dafu let go of his hand and caught up with Duke Chen to try to delay him.
Xiao Yining turned to look at Zhang San who had not yet left, "Uncle, aren't you going to follow?"
Zhang San shook his head, "The master didn't give any instructions."
"Then take me to find my grandpa."
"The master didn't give any orders."
"He ordered you to follow him. Otherwise, why wouldn't he ask you to follow him? He must have asked you to take care of me."
Zhang San looked down at the little girl who was talking nonsense and nodded, "Okay."
