"It turns out that your father is Mr. Pei Ge. No wonder I thought that with my wife's temperament, she should be from a big family in Chang'an. It turns out that she is from the Pei family, and she is the daughter of Mr. Pei Ge. It's disrespectful and disrespectful." Ye Qingcheng forced herself to support. He stood up and cupped his hands.
Speaking of those individuals in the current imperial court, Ye Qingcheng also admired many of them. Pei Yaoqing, who has now been appointed to a sinecure position and is far away from the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, is one of them. In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, this man was promoted to the rank of Shizhong and was also the Prime Minister of the Left. After that, he set up three large granaries along the Yellow River to collect rented grain from all over the world. In three years, he accumulated 2.7 million shi. He paid countless freight charges and rectified water transportation during his tenure, ensuring smooth water transportation throughout the South-to-North Grain Diversion. There was sufficient food in the Central Plains, and there were times when a bucket of rice even cost less than a hundred cents. This was a good story throughout the Kaiyuan period.
Unfortunately, at the end of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, there were many factions and intrigues in the court. At that time, Li Linfu reported that Yan Tingzhi, the deputy minister of Zhongshu, had violated the law for personal gain, but Zhang Jiuling, the deputy minister of Zhongshu, defended Yan Tingzhi. Emperor Xuanzong dismissed Zhang Jiuling as prime minister because he thought he had friends with cronies. Pei Yaoqing had a good relationship with Zhang Jiuling and was always jealous of Li Linfu. Because of this incident, he was removed from his position and was appointed as Shangshu Zuocheng. He gradually moved away from the center of power of the Tang Dynasty. Many people think that this guy should live in peace now, but he doesn't. In recent years, he has come to remonstrate with Xuanzong twice. One was about the embezzlement case of Yang Jun, the governor of Yizhou in the 25th year of Kaiyuan, and the other was The year before last, when Gai Jiayun had just been promoted to the Jiedushi of the two towns, he relied on his military exploits, indulged in pleasure, and did not take up his post in time. It can be seen that although Pei Yaoqing was far away from the loyalty to power, he was still thinking about the Tang Dynasty.
When I saw him today, it was really surprising that even his daughter had some of his demeanor back then. It was a pity that Li Linfu was so powerful in the Li Tang court today. If Zhang Jiuling had not been framed by Li Linfu, I am afraid that today's Emperor Xuanzong It will also appear wiser. The Kaiyuan rule can only be said to be a past history.
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. The Ye family where little brother Ye belongs is also famous for its medical skills. Although the Ye family in Jiannan has been inspected by you personally, your Chang'an Ye family is the orthodox Ye family. Aren't you the current leader of the Ye family? Mr. Pei?" Mrs. Pei joked.
However, this was just a joke at first, but it made Ye Qingcheng feel cold. He had always felt a little inferior because of the neglect at home, but Mrs. Pei actually used it as a joke, which made him very uncomfortable. However, his experience over the past year has made his vision completely different from before, and his tolerance level has also improved a lot. Such words will not make him fall out on the spot.
"Although Ye has indeed changed his mind and wants to defect to Shuofang Army and Wang Shuai, I just discovered that Madam's carriage is not going to Shuofang. It seems that it is heading to Gyeonggi Province, right?" He emphasized again. Mrs. Pei looked at the direction the carriage was heading to, indicating that she was not on the same road as them.
"It seems that little brother Ye really doesn't plan to go with us? Anyway, since our lives are saved by you, little brother Ye, you can help others to the end. To be honest, my father is seriously ill. I heard After hearing this news, I hurried back to Area CA, but who would have thought that I would be intercepted by these bandits here. If it weren't for you guys, Brother Ye, I would be really in danger. Now that you are injured because of us, I am naturally in danger. We can’t ignore it... Lieutenant Li, let’s go back to camp.”
"Yes, general, take your orders." After nodding towards Mrs. Pei, Lieutenant Li smiled, bowed towards the carriage and made a "please" gesture and said: "Brother Ye, my wife said so. , Can’t you not give me such a small amount of face? Please.”
Mrs. Pei was actually willing to do this for him. Ye Qingcheng could only sigh silently and motioned to Huan Chenyu to help him get into the car. Huan Chenyu himself was not happy that Ye Qingcheng ignored the injury out of consideration for face. Seeing that he was finally willing to get on the carriage, he happily helped Ye Qingcheng get on the carriage.
Letting a strange man get on the carriage was enough to make other people gossip. How could Ye Qingcheng let the two of them get on again? What's more, their appearance was outstanding, and they were no better than the ordinary face he was wearing now. Others might not gossip in Mrs. Pei's carriage, but if these two got in the carriage together, things would be a big deal. Of course, he couldn't let them get in.
He opened the curtain, turned around and motioned for the two of them to follow the car, and then walked into the carriage.
The carriage itself is only for traveling and is not suitable for long distances. However, the interior of the carriage has been modified into a small room that can accommodate several people and has some daily necessities. However, what really attracts the eye is not this room; People sitting inside.
After entering the carriage, I was able to see Mrs. Pei's complete appearance. I saw that he was dressed in the pink palace dress of a lady. He has a plump body and jade-like skin. He has an amazing appearance without any makeup, and a pair of half-covered breasts are like jade. But it was so eye-catching that Ye Qingcheng couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, making Mrs. Pei blush. At this moment, someone next to him suddenly coughed slightly. Only then did Ye Qingcheng notice his loss of composure and look towards that person.
I saw that it was a girl in a green shirt. She seemed to be Yingying's sixteen years old. She had a delicate appearance and smart eyes. She looked at him with an upright look. It seemed that the presumptuous look in her eyes just now made her feel very angry. She should be She must be Mrs. Pei's maid.
"Mrs. Pei, Ye is offended." After Ye Qingcheng bowed to Mrs. Pei, he went straight to a corner and began to adjust his breathing. He stopped paying attention to the two people, for fear that if he said another word, he would be punished. Rumors would reach Wang Zhongsi's ears, and he did not want his future boss to always have a knot in his heart.
Of course Mrs. Pei was also worried about the same thing, so she didn't say much after Ye Qingcheng entered her carriage. She just used gestures to ask Ye Qingcheng to sit down, and nothing else. After all, there were nine people around. As for the Tang Army, there are many people with mixed ears, and it will make people suspicious if you don't say it well.
No, this had no effect on the maid. Although the lady did not dare to look at Ye Qingcheng, her eyes swept over Ye Qingcheng's body unscrupulously. After looking at it for a long time, she suddenly shook her head, expressing that she felt very sorry. She heard the whole thing in the car just now, and she made a guess about the appearance of Mr. Ye, but she didn't expect that he was so ordinary. Although he had a good temperament, his appearance had a big flaw, which made her The budding girl's heart was so shocked that she simply didn't bother to care about Ye Qingcheng.
