After Pei Heng's carriage left the door of Xu's house, it went to Liyuan.
Liyuan is the house where the Yan family lives now, just behind the county government office in the south of the city.
Mrs. Yan had already fallen asleep, and Pei Heng did not disturb her. After washing, she rested in the garden.
After the candles were blown out, the room fell into darkness. Pei Heng felt at ease knowing that Yan family still lived in this courtyard.
It was just a long night, and because it was too late to go to bed, I wasn't that sleepy, so I stared at the bed curtain with my eyes open.
There was silence in the dark night, except for the wind outside shaking the leaves and making a rustling sound.
"laugh……"
Suddenly, Pei Heng smiled slightly in the room.
The voice was very low and shallow, and was quickly covered up by the wind outside, as if it had never happened.
But the Jin Linwei secret guards squatting outside heard it clearly.
Their governor just smiled.
I don't know how long I thought about it, but Pei Heng fell asleep with sweet dreams on his pillow.
Have a good night's sleep.
At dawn the next day, Mrs. Yan woke up.
She had little sleep, and when she woke up, Baiyan Baiqiu, who was taking care of her outside, opened the curtain and came in to help her get up.
"Madam, the governor stayed next door last night."
Mrs. Yan was overjoyed: "Heng'er is here?"
"Yes. The governor came back late last night and didn't want his servants to disturb you."
It's already winter.
The weather is getting cooler, especially at night.
Yan felt distressed: "Then when he came back last night, wasn't the room cold?"
Bai Yan and Bai Qiu looked at each other and said, "The Governor is not cold."
"He keeps stuffing up in his heart whenever something happens, and refuses to tell anyone, not even when he's cold, and not when he's in pain." Mrs. Yan smiled heartbrokenly: "There's no one around him who knows how to feel cold and hot. "
If someone is by his side, at the very least, no matter how late he comes back, his home will be hot, the food will be fragrant, and his bed will be warm.
He is not young anymore, and she cannot stay with him forever.
There should be someone by his side.
"It would be nice if he came back with a wife," said Yan.
Bai Yan laughed when she heard this: "Madam, don't worry, many dignitaries in Kyoto want the governor to be their son-in-law. All it takes is the governor's nod."
Although the governor of her family was disabled, he held a high position and was a close minister of the emperor. There were not many people who wanted the governor to be their son-in-law.
However, this is all an exchange of interests.
Yan sneered: "They think others don't know what they want!"
He just took a fancy to Heng'er's power.
She still looked down upon those who were only interested in profit. "While it's still early, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare something for him."
Although Pei Heng slept late last night, his habit over the years also made him wake up at midnight.
Went to Yan's house to say hello. Yan came over with the last plate of side dishes, looked at Pei Heng and asked lovingly, "Heng'er is awake?"
"Why don't you sleep a little longer, mother? Why do you cook the food yourself? Where are the servants?"
Mrs. Yan took Pei Heng's hand and sat down at the table: "They all served my mother very well. My mother knows that you are back and wants to cook you a delicious meal. Are you busy going back to Jinlinwei?"
"No, mother made it with her own hands. Of course, my son will eat it slowly with his mother."
"good."
The mother and son sat down, and Mrs. Yan served a bowl of shrimp porridge to Pei Heng, "Did you come back late last night?"
Pei Heng took the porridge and said, "Yes."
"Jin Linwei has a lot to do, mother knows, but no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself." Mrs. Yan peeled another egg for Pei Heng and gave it to him.
Pei Heng obediently took a bite of porridge and an egg: "Don't worry, Mom, I know."
"You are an obedient and sensible child, mother knows. It's just that mother wants to..." Mrs. Yan hesitated.
Pei Heng put down his chopsticks: "What's wrong, mother? Whatever mother wants, my son will definitely do it."
Yan's face was filled with joy: "Really?"
Pei Heng smiled, took Yan's hand and said, "When did my son ever lie to his mother?"
Yan took Pei Heng backhand, patted her, and said solemnly: "Mother has let go of the past. Although bad luck has happened, the good thing is that you are still by mother's side. All of us who are alive must pay tribute to Look ahead, right?"
Pei Heng has already let go.
What if I don't let go?
Pei Heng nodded: "Yes, we all need to look forward."
"So, mother wants you to get a wife."
A person flashed through Pei Heng's mind instantly, "Mother..."
"There should be someone by your side who understands both cold and hot. No matter how late you come home from now on, there will always be someone waiting for you at home. The lights will be bright, your heart will be warm, you will live a happy life, and your mother will feel relieved. "
She doesn't want any of these things like hoping that her son will become a dragon or her daughter will become a phoenix.
Only through experience can you know that peace, happiness and happiness are the most precious things for a mother.
Pei Heng smiled and said: "Marrying a wife is not like buying vegetables in the market. If you like her, you can pay for it. You must find someone who is really good to your son, who you like, and who your mother also likes."
"Mom knows, so I thought about it for a long time and had a candidate in mind."
Pei Heng felt anxious, but he still pretended not to care and asked, "Oh, who are you talking about?"
Yan's face was filled with joy: "Aning, what do you think?"
She kept thinking about it while making breakfast.
Although An Ning will be wronged, she has her son by her side and Heng'er to protect her, so she will not be bullied in the future.
"My son is afraid that she will be wronged." Pei Heng pursed his lips and smiled briefly, but he still said it seriously.
"Mom knows, but I think, she has a son by her side and you are protecting her. Although she feels aggrieved, you can treat her better. Mom treats her as her own daughter, so her grievances can be smaller, yes. no?
There is also An Geer. Although we are not related by blood, I don’t know why. As soon as I saw him, I fell in love with him. If you marry An Ning, your mother will treat An Geer as her own grandson. When you get old in the future, there will be people who will take care of you until the end of your life, right? "
Yan was chattering and talking a lot, and Pei Heng always had a faint smile on his face.
"And Mom can see that you are interested in An Ning, and An Ning is interested in you. You are both people who have endured hardships. Mom believes that you will be very happy in the future."
Pei Heng ate the last mouthful of shrimp porridge with his head down. If it weren't for the excuse of chewing, he would have grinned to the back of his head.
"All sons obey their mothers."
When Yan saw it, Pei Heng's eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly.
They are all people who have been there, and when they talk about the people they like, their eyes light up.
A stone fell from Yan's heart.
She wants to go to Xu's house more often.
Duke Wei's Mansion.
Wan Lan has also woken up, but she is feeling panicked.
"Agui, my heart is beating wildly, as if something bad has happened."
"The old lady just thinks too much." Aunt Gui said with a smile: "Look at your nails, they are almost healed. Dr. Xia said that they will be cured a year ago."
Wan Lan looked at her nails and felt much better indeed.
But as soon as she felt relieved, Wei Qiang and Wei Cheng rushed in with their wives.
The four people had dark faces, as if someone owed them money.
Wan Lan's good mood was ruined by them again, but she did not dare to scold her son, so she had to scold Li and Yuan.
"You rushed here so early in the morning, and you still don't know the etiquette."
"Hmph!" Wei Qiang spoke first: "Who doesn't understand etiquette? Even if you don't understand etiquette, you still know more than that bitch Wei Wei!"
