My Cousin is So Weak

Chapter 95 Talking sincerely about the future with old friends

The Uncle Nie mentioned by Yue Sheng was a soldier who grew up with Pei Zisu.

When he was young, he was a unique figure in the army. Unfortunately, he injured his leg on the battlefield a few years ago. Naturally, he could no longer march and fight, so he had to retreat to the rear.

However, he was once an eagle that spread its wings. How could he be a domestic bird with peace of mind? He was unhappy and naturally asked to leave. But he had nowhere to go and no family. Mr. Pei missed the friendship he had built for many years, so he asked about it. After his wish, he took it back to the Pei family.

I usually help the Pei family with housekeeping and financial matters, which is also a good place to spend their old age.

Pei Zisu opened the curtain and went in to see Uncle Nie, whom he had not seen for many days.

Wearing a crow-green gown, he is very low-key. He is tall and looks very burly. He is only in his early fifties, but the ravines on his face have become much deeper due to years of fighting outside, so he looks larger than he actually is. Much older.

Only the way he smiled was the same as before, and the love for Pei Zicheng in his eyes had never changed. Seeing him, Pei Zicun became as obedient as an elder, so he walked forward quickly and said.

"Uncle Nie, I'm back."

"Hey, it'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Looking at his slightly lame left leg, Pei Zichen felt a little distressed no matter how many times he saw it. If it weren't for this, Uncle Nie wouldn't have stayed at Pei's house like this.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Pei Zisu was very direct. With his first words, he blocked Uncle Nie's path.

"Come here, if you want to persuade me to go back to my old house for dinner, you don't have to say anything. But if you want to talk to me, I'm all ears."

Uncle Nie shook his head, as if he had already known that Pei Zifeng would say this, so he sighed and said calmly without any further persuasion.

"The old man misses you very much. It's better to go back and see him when you find time."

"See if he can."

Neither of them knew clearly, but the meaning was obvious. The person Pei Zichen didn't want to see was Aunt An. Uncle Nie didn't force him, so he sat next to Pei Zichen and asked.

"My wife and the third young master have not come back this time. I heard that they are staying in Xijing City to prepare for your marriage. How about it? Uncle Nie, I can help you. Although my legs are crippled, my brain is still there. Okay, don’t worry about that!”

Hearing Uncle Nie speak like this, Pei Zichen was not polite and opened his mouth to speak.

"I was originally thinking about how to tell you, but now that you have brought it up, I won't be polite. Uncle Nie, I bought a house in Xijing City, and there is a shortage of suitable outer courtyard stewards. I I know it's a bit unfair to do this with your talents. But that house will be where my family and I will live forever in the future. I always think that I have to have someone I trust to look after it before I can rest assured. So if you are willing, I will take you with me this time when I go north. How about you stay in Xijing City and let me take care of you in your old age?”

"Ah? Going to Xijing City?"

Pei Zisu nodded. All the personnel arrangements in Ning'an Garden were carefully selected by his aunt Pei and his mother. There would be no mistakes, but he still hoped to have someone in charge that he could trust completely.

Therefore, when he said this, Uncle Nie was surprised and started to think seriously. Although he is from Hanzhou, he has no relatives in Hanzhou. He only stayed because the old commander valued friendship. That’s all.

If he went to Xijing City this time, he could help the young general. Thinking of this, he also felt that this method was good, but he was slightly worried.

"If I leave, who will handle the affairs of the old house?"

"Uncle Nie forgot that there are many people in the house who want to take your place." When Pei Zifeng spoke, his tone was calm, but his attitude was much colder. Uncle Nie suddenly understood what he meant, not much. The confused one responded.

"Okay, then I'll go with you. Since we're all guarding the house anyway, I'm happy to guard your place too!"

Pei Zisu was happy to hear Uncle Nie's affirmative answer.

Another reason for Uncle Nie to go north was to take over part of his contact with Hanzhou. He would not trust such confidential matters to outsiders, so it was safest for Uncle Nie to go.

The two of them discussed how to spend their days in Xijing City, and a lot of time passed unknowingly. At this moment, Pei Zifeng still didn't know what happened at Lanyue Tower in Xijing City, so everything was still planned.

But far away in Xijing City, Pei Zimiao, who had killed all the enemies, looked at the list in front of him and had a headache.

When my brother left, he specifically told him that if there was any problem that couldn't be solved, he should go to his eldest cousin to discuss it. However, after all, this matter involved the grievances between Hanzhou and Yizhou for many years, so he went to him openly. Wouldn't it be too direct?

But he really couldn't think clearly. He paced back and forth at home for almost an hour, and finally went to Wenyuan Hou's Mansion.

As a result, his eldest cousin didn't block him, but cousin A-Nian blocked him.

"Cousin, I have something important to discuss with my eldest cousin. I wonder if he is in the academy?"

"My sister-in-law's situation has been unstable these past few days. My eldest cousin has been accompanying me all the time. If my third cousin has any questions, why not come to my yard and talk to her?"

Pei Zimiao shook his head without thinking. It was not that he looked down on Jiang Shiyuan as a woman, but he felt that his brother might not want her to worry about such a thing, so he refused.

Jiang Shiyuan was smart and could tell something from his expression, so he boldly asked.

"Third cousin, are you thinking about how to accommodate people who have nowhere to go?"

She asked by name in one sentence. Pei Zimiao looked at her in shock, then lowered his voice and asked.

"Brother told you about Lan Yue Tower?"

This sentence alone verified all Jiang Shiyuan's guesses. She shook her head, imitated Pei Zimiao's actions, and replied in a lowered voice.

"Before the third cousin said this, it was just a guess, but after you said it, I know that everything in my mind has been concluded. The boss behind Lanyue Tower is not from Yizhou, but you, right?"

She has been thinking over and over again about what happened in Lanyue Tower these days.

The fact that such a restaurant has been able to operate uniquely in Xijing City for such a long time without any mistakes can only mean one thing: the backer behind it is strong enough.

There are only so many relatives of the emperor in Xijing City. After she married into Prince Chun's palace in her previous life, she knew more or less about it during casual dinner conversations. The only exception was that she never heard Song Shizi mention the Lan Yue Tower, which meant that this place was Even he didn't know the forces behind it.

Anyone with such ability must be from the royal family.

Among the foreign vassal kings in Dasui today, the most powerful ones are undoubtedly the King of Han and King Yi. One has elite soldiers and strong generals, and the other has a vast land and abundant resources, so the two of them are most likely to be involved.
