Wenxi Pei Family

Pei Shu, who was wearing embroidered clothes, knelt on the side of the desk in her boudoir, gently placed the read letter in her hand on the desk. Looking at the stern font above it, she couldn't help but smile. The content in the letter was very simple, saying that Yan Xing herself defeated the Baibo army led by the thief leader Guo Tai, on the west bank of the Fen River, and saved Linfen City. She was going back to Anyi to give her a speech. She would pass by Wenxi on the return trip, and then invite her to visit the elegant scenery of Wenxi City.

This was the second letter Pei Shu received. The last time she invited Yan Xing to Wenxi for an outing and a drink party on Shangsi Festival. Unfortunately, after the fall of Luoyang, Bai Bo's army gathered in large numbers and was preparing to invade Linfen. Yan Xing, who was dispatching troops and preparing for the troops, naturally could not take the time to make time. He ignored the critical situation of the soldiers and Linfen, and ran to Wenxi to the banquet agreed with Pei Shu.

Although the people have not arrived, the letters have arrived.

Yan Xing specially sent someone to deliver his letter to the Pei family and handed it to Pei Shu to open it in person.

In his letter, Yan Xing briefly explained the urgent situation to Pei Shu, expressed his apology for not being able to go to the appointment on time, and admitted that he would come to Wen Xi and Pei Shu again after the war came to an end.

Pei Shu still remembers that a few days before Shangsi Festival, she was worried about gains and losses because she could not receive information about Yan Xing, and was worried that Yan Xing would forget about this matter because of the urgent military situation and busy military affairs in front.

It was not until she received Yan Xing's first letter that her whole heart was relieved, and the anxiety and losses a few days ago also turned into sweet joy.

It turns out that he still remembers himself and his agreement.

Although he didn't know his name, he still kept the agreement in his heart. Even if the military situation ahead was so urgent that he could not come in person, this letter could only tell his intentions.

Thinking of this, Pei Shu showed a pleasant smile on her face, but she immediately thought of something, and her eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly.

Things have to start with Shangsi Festival.

On this day, in addition to the tradition of sacrifice, there is also the custom of going out for a walk and having a banquet by the river. The Pei family is also a famous family in Wenxi City, so naturally, they are also inseparable from bringing their families and calling their friends to the riverside outside the city for a banquet.

That day, the sky was clear and the weather was smooth and the wind was smooth. Although the war ahead was not decided, on this festival, there were still endless pedestrians along the way on the riverside outside the city, and the sound of cars was rumbling. Pei Shu, who was riding in the car, lifted the curtains. When she looked up, she saw that most of the scholars and wealthy people went out for a walk and had a trip to meet the situation.

Along the way, there were powerful families with families and many carriages, including rich and noble children with bright clothes and angry horses, gorgeous clothes, and men who were dressed or walked, ladies with rich cars and BMWs, as well as ordinary families with coarse cloth and robes, and squats of 30 and 30.

When we arrived by the river, it became even more lively. The wealthy families in the city had already selected suitable open areas on the flat ground by the river in advance, built curtains, laid felt carpets, placed tables on the tables, served wine and delicacies, and then had banquets and fun with the guests and friends who gathered. There were fun activities such as throwing pots and drinking wine, plus the sloping silk and bamboo in the gauze curtain, singing and dancing gracefully, just like the heaven and earth.

There are also some talented scholars who are not attending banquets and banquets who play the game of Qushui Liushang directly by the river. They either talk big or sing loudly, and they are having fun while drinking and having fun.

As for the other tourists, some went out on the riverside, and some traveled together with the beauty and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. The slaves, maids and ordinary farmers who went out came together in groups of three or two, chatting or talking, and the powerful and humble men met each other and enjoyed each other.

This is the first time that the city of Wenxi, which was once in silence since the Baibo Rebellion, has become so lively!

Outside the city by the river

The curtain of the Pei family was sent to set up early in the morning. The Pei family rules were strict, so the Pei family members were all feasting in the curtain, and they were welcomed to the banquet. They were not allowed to travel alone at will. The curtain was also divided into two layers, inside and outside. The women of the Pei family could only play and have a banquet in the inner layer of the curtain.

In the past, Pei Shu sat in the curtain and it didn't matter. But today she thought about the fact that Yan Xing could not come to the appointment, and she felt a little depressed after all, but she also had to worry about her identity and etiquette, so she had to laugh and have fun with other women.

While a group of female members were playing chess game, a young man with beautiful eyes and hair tied up clapped his hands outside, then lifted a corner of the curtain and walked in. When the female members of the Pei family saw that the person came was Pei Wan.

Although Pei Wan is the youngest, she has been smart since childhood and is most favored by the Pei family. When a group of women in the Pei family saw that it was him, they smiled and wanted to joke with him, asking him why he didn't look for a beautiful lady and went outing together.

Pei Wan joked about these sisters and sisters-in-law in her family, but she was able to handle it with ease. He smiled and moved one by one, and then came to her sister and gave Pei Shu a wink.

"But those gentlemen in the city are here?"

When Pei Shu saw the look of her younger brother, she knew that he, a ghost, came to say hello to him in advance.

When having a banquet, it was originally a sign of meeting relatives and friends. If there was a young woman at home waiting for her name, then the banquet would naturally involve talking about marriage.

Pei Shu is nineteen years old this year, and she is already past her year of birth. According to current concepts, she is also an old daughter. The custom of talking about marriage with people at that time is very different. Moreover, the government will also calculate more money to urge the woman to get married.

Although the Pei family is not stingy with this amount of money, Pei Shu is indeed at the age of discussing marriage. It is just because the court has been turbulent in recent years and the world is in chaos. In addition, Pei Mao and Pei Shu's fourth brother Pei Ji is still in the court, while the second brother Pei Jun is in charge of Shu. The eldest brother Pei Qian looks for several talents for Pei Shu, without exception Pei Shu doesn't even see it. So under this special situation, the Pei family unexpectedly delayed the marriage for three years.

When a woman gets married, but she doesn't get married for a long time, there are naturally some rumors. However, the Pei family has always had clear hope and family members in the court hold prominence. This trend of public opinion will not move one-sidedly towards the direction of derogatory comments.

On the contrary, there are rumors in Wenxi City that the Pei family’s daughter is a lady with a great family, with outstanding eyes and wisdom in choosing a person, just like Meng Guang’s husband, she is not a talented and famous scholar like Liang Hong, and she will never marry her. Therefore, gradually, many scholars have various thoughts and want to meet this legendary Pei family’s strange woman.

On the Shangsi Festival, the Pei family holds banquets by the river outside the city, which is a good opportunity to have a love affair. If you don’t like it, you will not lose any losses. If you are lucky enough to win the hearts of the Pei family, then you will be able to claim a hundred times the price, and be able to climb the dragon and phoenix, and rely on the Pei family's big tree.

Because of this, some scholars who claim to be talented invited to come here, wanting to take this opportunity to attend the Pei family banquet, quote classics, and show their talents, so as to win the favor of the Pei family and the Pei family’s wife.

Pei Shu had no good feelings for this kind of behavior, but she could not stand the request of her brother at home, and had to learn from Princess Huyang to hide behind the scenes, peek at the romantic talents of these talented men, and choose her favorite husband for her.

Today, Pei Wan suddenly came to see him from a banquet outside. When Pei Shu saw his look, she knew that there must be another scholar Tsaijun who came to visit the banquet. Her eldest brother Pei Qian and her third brother Pei Hui also followed suit and wanted to go behind the scenes to see who she chose to choose her husband.

According to the past, Pei Shu naturally had her way of dealing with it. Over the years, she has seen countless people, had a sharp eye, and has also developed an excellent vision. In short words, she can quickly see a person's general character. Sometimes, her unique insights and opinions even her elder brother Pei Qian has to praise her, although she is a daughter, her wise mind is far superior to that of ordinary men.

But today Pei Shu was a little upset, so she didn't intend to look at it again. She chose those talented scholars who show off her literary talent and show off her family background, and the rich and powerful children. After confirming her guess from her younger brother's face, she moved her mind and pointed to the door of the back tent, signaling her younger brother to cover up her and get the bill from her.

Pei Wan nodded and added another sentence while the other women were not paying attention.

"This time, there are also young talents who are particularly interested in by the third brother. If my sister doesn't go and see, I'm afraid that the third brother--"

Pei Wan did not finish her words, but Pei Shu immediately understood what he meant. Although his third brother Pei Hui was only in his prime, he was a mature young man and was familiar with the worldly affairs. He had become the right-hand man of his eldest brother Pei Qian. During these days when his father Pei Mao was in the court, they were all dealing with the affairs of the family.

Pei Hui is not only a young man, but also caters to the current trend of friendship between celebrities and famous people. He has a wide range of friends. If Pei Shu doesn't go and take a look at her sister-in-law, she is afraid that her third brother Pei Hui will definitely be angry in her heart.

Pei Shu knew the temperament of her third brother, but she really had no intention of catering to her today, so she pursed her lips and was silent for a moment. Finally, she made up her mind and pointed to the door of the back tent again.
