Congrats to the boss and his brother

Although Father Pei is a bit dull, he is by no means a brainless person.

If Pei Ye hadn't said to him the words of "no heir" and "saved his life" to him before, he might not have thought about it, and he could take this scene just now as Pei Ye's deep love for Chi Jingyao's brother, and there was no mean something else.

But with what he said earlier, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

No matter how good the relationship between brothers is, there are boundaries.

Pei Ye's closeness to Chi Jingyao was really too much, which made him unable to take it with a normal heart.

Looking back on all the signs in the past, Chi Jingyao suddenly got married without saying hello, but he never said anything to his newly married wife after returning home.The two went to the capital, and Pei Ye was granted the title of Lord Marquis. He was rewarded with so many things and a house, but he was not given a marriage.

Father Pei had also vaguely noticed these abnormalities that Pei Yuan had noticed before.

It's just that he is not as meticulous as Pei Yuan, and when he occasionally thinks about these strange things, he just thinks that he is thinking too much.

Until today, when all the things were strung together, he suddenly realized.

Father Pei had not yet reached the door of the backyard when he saw Mother Pei coming out of the east courtyard. He must have just visited Pei Ning.

"Are you asleep?" Father Pei asked.

"Sleeping peacefully." Rong Niang said: "This kid has no worries since he was young, he sleeps peacefully and never makes trouble, just like his father when he was a child."

Father Pei nodded absent-mindedly upon hearing this.

Rong Niang didn't notice his strangeness, but asked, "How is Ah Yao? I don't worry, let's go and have a look."

"Don't go." Father Pei said.

"Why?" Rong Niang asked puzzled.

"It's nothing..." Father Pei is worrying right now, although he knows that this matter cannot be concealed, he is unwilling to expose it at this moment.Especially since he hadn't figured out how to deal with it yet, if Rong Niang knew about it at this time, things would be even more troublesome.

Thinking of this, he said, "boss and eldest daughter-in-law are there, and there is no foothold in the house. Besides, the eldest daughter-in-law has said it's all right, so it's hard to say if you look at it again and again."

"That's right." Rong Niang said: "Xiao Wan has excellent medical skills, she will be fine with Ah Yao."

Father Pei nodded when he heard the words, feeling very complicated.

the other side.

After Pei Ye finished feeding the medicine, Ding Xiaowan helped Chi Jingyao take a pulse again.

"It should be fine. The fever will subside after a while. Just watch it, don't let him kick the quilt at night and catch a cold again." Ding Xiaowan said to Pei Ye: "If you have anything to do, just go to the east courtyard and call me at any time." .”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Pei Ye hurriedly saluted Ding Xiaowan.

Ding Xiaowan saluted him back, glanced at the sleeping Chi Jingyao again, then turned and left without saying anything.

Pei Yuan sent Ding Xiaowan to the door, the two exchanged a few words, and then he returned to the house.

Pei Ye was helping Chi Jingyao change the veil on his forehead, when he saw Pei Yuan coming in again, he glanced at him.

"Didn't you tell me to confess after a year?" Pei Yuan asked.

"I was in a hurry, I didn't take care of it." Pei Ye said: "It's good like this."

He said, glanced at Chi Jingyao, and said: "He doesn't know anything while he's sick, if he can pass this test, it will save him from suffering. If it doesn't work... Father and mother think about him being sick, always Wouldn't it be hard to separate the two of us?"

"That's the reason." Pei Yuan said.

"Brother, take care of me for a while, I'll come when I go." Pei Ye said.

Pei Yuan probably guessed what he was going to do, and let him go without saying anything.

In the backyard, Father Pei was sitting in the room sulking.

Seeing him like this, Rong Niang asked a few more questions, but he only sighed and did not answer.

"Did you go out with the second child today, and someone outside said something that made you unhappy?" Rong Niang asked.

"It's nothing, you don't have to worry." Father Pei said, "Go to bed first, I'll just stay by myself for a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ye's voice came from outside.

"Why is the second child here at this time?" Rong Niang asked in surprise, "It can't be that something happened to Ah Yao?"

She was a little worried when she said that, and hurried to open the door.

Outside the door, Pei Ye didn't even wear his outer robe, and went straight into the house with a wooden stick in his hand.

After entering the door, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Rongniang and Father Pei.

"Second, what are you doing?" Rong Niang said a little at a loss, "Speak up if you have something to say, you..."

"Father, mother, Pei Ye is not filial." He said and put the wooden stick in front of Pei's father, then knelt on the ground and turned around, turned his back to Pei's father, and said, "Father, if you want to teach me a lesson , let’s do it.”

Father Pei was sullen and had nowhere to vent his anger. Hearing this, he stood up holding a wooden stick.

Rong Niang was terribly frightened, she stepped forward and hugged his arm and said, "What are you doing? Why do you want to do something when it's Chinese New Year?"

"If you don't teach him a lesson, he will go to heaven!" Father Pei said angrily.

Pei Ye stretched out his hand and unbuttoned his clothes, exposing his upper body, with a look of being beaten or scolded.

The wooden sticks in Father Pei's hand were all raised up, but when he saw Pei Ye's back, he was stunned.

I saw that the opponent's body was covered with large and small scars, new and old wounds criss-crossed, it was very eye-catching.

"Second..." Seeing this, Rong Niang's heart ached so much that she burst into tears.

She stepped forward to help Pei Ye put on his clothes, sobbing, "My son...has suffered all these years."

"Mother." Pei Ye said guiltily: "My son is unfilial, I'm sorry to you two elders."

"Why do you say such things? What's the matter?" Rong Niang asked with a distressed expression.

Seeing that he couldn't hide the matter anymore, Father Pei said in a cold voice, "Do you know why he doesn't want to agree to those who come to kiss?"

"Why?" Rong Niang asked, "Pei Ye, tell Mother what happened?"

"Because..." Pei Ye frowned, and said with difficulty: "The child is already married."

"How come?" Rong Niang smiled through tears: "This is a good thing, why didn't you tell your parents?"

Father Pei snorted coldly and said, "Ask who he married with!"

Rong Niang looked at Pei Ye when she heard the words, and heard Pei Ye say: "Chi Jingyao."

Rong Niang was taken aback when she heard the words, and didn't recover for a while.

Her thoughts turned sharply, and it took a while to realize what happened.

"You and...you and A Yao are married?" Rong Niang asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Pei Ye responded.

When Rong Niang heard this, her body swayed and she almost fainted.

The father and son hurriedly helped him to sit down.

"Go and call your sister-in-law over!" Father Pei said.

"Don't go!" Rong Niang grabbed Pei Ye and said, "Mother is fine."

She took a few breaths as she spoke, and finally recovered a little.

"You tell me the whole thing from beginning to end." Rong Niang said.

Pei Ye was a little hesitant when he heard the words, but he was afraid that he would be even more angry if he didn't obey the other party, so he had to take two steps back and knelt down in front of Rong Niang again.

"It started shortly after he went to the border town... At first it was just wishful thinking on my part, and I didn't intend to tell him." Pei Ye said: "Later I was seriously injured, and it seemed that I was going to die, so I coaxed him a few words , He saw that I felt sorry for me, so he agreed."

Pei Ye quickly took the matter onto himself, for fear that Rong Niang and Father Pei would embarrass Chi Jingyao.

Rong Niang's complexion changed when she heard the words, she said: "A Yao has always been kind, how can you coax him like this?"

"My child was about to die at the time, so I didn't care about so much." Pei Ye said.

When Rong Niang heard the words and thought of the injuries on Pei Ye's body, she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

She cried intermittently for a while, and Father Pei couldn't care less about being angry when he saw this, so he couldn't stop comforting her.

"You two... how could you do this?" Rong Niang sobbed.

"You don't have the orders of your parents when you get married, so you can't do anything, so hurry up and break up!" Father Pei said.

Pei Ye heard the words: "Father, didn't you say that as long as I figured it out myself, it doesn't matter if I marry anyone?"

"I thought you were talking about a girl!" Father Pei said, "Ayao and you are generally men, how can men be with men?"

Pei Ye knelt on the ground and remained silent for a while, then said, "Why not?"

"You..." Father Pei hesitated for a while, but found that he didn't know how to refute.

He originally wanted to say that the two of them could not have children when they got married, but he remembered what Pei Ye said to him on the road before.

But how did he know that the person Pei Ye was talking about was Chi Jingyao?

"Anyway, it's not okay!" Father Pei said, "It's not okay to talk about breaking the sky."

As he spoke, he pulled Pei Ye up on the ground, and then drove him out with a wooden stick.

Rong Niang wiped her tears, and complained softly to Father Pei: "He has so many injuries, can't you take it lightly?"

"I didn't use any strength!" Father Pei hurriedly said, "He has great strength, don't be fooled by him."

Rong Niang sighed when she heard the words, she couldn't help but wanted to cry again.

When she thought of Chi Jingyao, her heart ached, and when she thought of Pei Ye, she also felt distressed. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was crying from anger or from distress.

If it was the past, Pei Ye would probably kneel outside his parents' door tonight.

Don't say anything else, let the old man calm down first.

But Chi Jingyao was still ill now, he was really worried, so he didn't dare to stay longer.

"How is it?" Seeing him coming back, Pei Yuan asked.

"It's not that good." Pei Ye said, "You got me out."

Pei Yuan couldn't help but sighed and said: "Don't say it's them, even I have to wait for a few days before I can accept it slowly. Don't worry, your parents still love you after all, so it won't be too embarrassing."

"Brother." Pei Ye couldn't help but asked Pei Yuan, "How did you accept us?"

"If you figure it out, accept it." Pei Yuan said, "Brother is also an experienced person himself, and knows that there are certain things that others cannot stop."

As he spoke, he didn't know what to think of, and his eyes were stained with a little tenderness.

"Family, there is no one who doesn't want you well." Pei Yuan said: "In the past few days, no matter what your parents say, you just follow them and don't talk back. After a long time, you will gradually accept it."

Pei Ye nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Thank you, brother, you can go back quickly, sister-in-law is probably still waiting."

"Don't sleep too deeply at night, take care of Ah Yao." Pei Yuan told him a few more words before leaving.

After Pei Yuan left the west courtyard, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't resist going to the backyard.

Seeing that the candles in the old man's house were still on, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Didn't I let you go?" Father Pei said.

"Father, it's me." Pei Yuan said.

Father Pei came over after hearing the words and opened the door for him.

"Why don't you go back to bed so late?" Father Pei said.

"Don't worry, come and have a look." Pei Yuan said.

Pei Yuan saw that Rong Niang was still wiping tears, and that Father Pei's complexion was not very good-looking. After thinking for a while, he said, "What Pei Ye did was really wrong. I, the eldest brother, can't stand it. Dad , can’t let him off easily this time, lest it will be more difficult to control in the future.”

As he spoke, he thought for a moment and said, "How about I tie him up first and let him kneel in the snow all night, to see if he dares to act recklessly!"

Rong Niang looked at Pei Yuan in disbelief and said, "Boss, Pei Ye is your own brother, why are you so cruel?"

"He made the second elder angry first, shouldn't it be right for me, my brother, to teach him a lesson?" Pei Yuan said.

"That can't make people kneel in the snow, what body can bear it?" Father Pei said.

"If he did such a thing, he has to be taught a lesson!" Pei Yuan said.

Rong Niang became anxious when she heard the words, and said: "The second child is a mess, but he didn't do anything that is unacceptable. Didn't he just marry A Yao? As long as he didn't force A Yao... it wouldn't be a heinous crime." ah!"

"That's right, isn't it just getting married to Ah Yao? It really doesn't seem like a big deal," Pei Yuan said.

Father Pei glared at Pei Yuan and said, "Are you here to intercede for them?"

Pei Yuan couldn't help showing a bit of a smile when he heard the words, and said: "Father, you also know the temperament of the second child. He has been stubborn since he was a child, and he is very stubborn. If you want to stop the things he has decided, then you can't do it." There is no other way to kill people.”

"I remember that he wanted to study when he was young, but he was delayed because of my illness. Since then, he has become angry with himself and refused to study. Who in our family can persuade him?" Pei Yuan said, "That is, Ah Yao. Only when he came, could he be restrained, and later on, didn't he follow Ah Yao in everything?"

Rong Niang also thought of the past when she heard the words, and said with emotion: "The second child is really stubborn. If it weren't for Ah Yao, he might not know a lot of words by now." She said, thinking of the two when they were young Things, a little warmth can't help but appear in the eyes.

"He has been outside for so many years, he has survived life and death several times, and he has saved his life." Pei Yuan said: "How many people went to the border town in Qizhou camp, and how many people came back? It is not easy for our second child to come back alive. I heard that for the last time, half of his foot stepped on the Naihe Bridge, and it was Ayao who was dragged back to the world by force."

"The two of them want a companion, so let's make a companion. They can't come back alive, so let's be forced to death?" Pei Yuan said: "If the second child doesn't follow him, I'm afraid I won't be able to in this life." I will find a girl to marry. What's wrong with having Ayao by my side compared to leaving him alone all his life?"

Father Pei sighed heavily when he heard the words, his head was sullen and he didn't speak any more.

Rong Niang wiped her tears, not sure if she listened or not.

Pei Yuan knew enough is enough, he didn't say anything more, he told the elders to have a good rest, and then went back.

Before leaving, he said to Rong Niang again: "He originally planned to wait until the new year was over, because he was afraid that you would not have a good year. If Ah Yao hadn't been ill today and made him lose his sense of proportion, he wouldn't be so reckless."

"That child, Ah Yao, can't hide things. How flustered he is at home these days?" After Pei Yuan left, Rong Niang said to Pei's father, "Perhaps this child is suffocated by this matter. fall sick."

"Don't think about it, the eldest daughter-in-law said she caught a cold." Father Pei comforted.

"Then he's been pretending to have something on his mind these days." Rong Niang said.

She couldn't help thinking of Chi Jingyao's appearance when she was young, and the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and said, "Why isn't Ayao a girl?"

"Let's just be a kid." Father Pei said, "If it's a girl, it might not be so close to the second child..."

Rong Niang: ...

Thinking about it this way is also true, given the awkward temper of his second child, if Chi Jingyao is a girl, the two may not be able to get together.

Chi Jingyao's illness came and went quickly.

When he woke up early the next morning, the fever had almost subsided.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Seeing that he was awake, Pei Ye hurriedly stepped forward and touched his forehead.

Although Chi Jingyao's fever subsided, he was still a little weak. He lay on the bed and smiled at Pei Ye, asking, "Second Brother, am I sick?"

"Yeah." Pei Ye said: "I came back last night and you were burned out."

Pei Ye said this lightly, but Chi Jingyao's eyes fell on his dark eyes, and he knew that he probably didn't sleep much last night.

"Drink some water." Pei Ye helped him to sit up and fed him half a cup of hot water.

After drinking the water, Chi Jingyao was still a little sleepy, so he hugged Pei Ye and squinted for a while.

Later, Ding Xiaowan came to check his pulse again. At noon, Chi Jingyao's complexion recovered a lot, and he was not so tired anymore.

"Second brother, I want to get up and take a walk." Chi Jingyao said.

"It's okay to get up, but you can't go out, it's still cold outside." Pei Ye said.

Chi Jingyao nodded, and suddenly asked Pei Ye: "What time is it today?"

"The eighth day of the lunar new year." Pei Ye said, while he was talking, he helped Chi Jingyao get dressed.

"The day after tomorrow is the day of Master's death." Chi Jingyao said, "You can accompany me to Zhuangzi to have a look."

Pei Ye nodded and said, "In the next two days, you should take a good rest."

Chi Jingyao nodded hurriedly and said, "I must eat well and drink medicine well."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Niang's voice came from outside.

Pei Ye went to open the door, and saw Rong Niang coming in with a bowl of porridge.

There was nothing unusual on her face, her eyes were slightly red, but it was not obvious, so Chi Jingyao didn't pay attention.

"Mother." Chi Jingyao smiled and said, "Is this cooked Laba porridge?"

"Which Laba porridge only puts millet?" Rong Niang said: "Your sister-in-law told you to have some millet porridge first. If you want to eat Laba porridge, we can talk about it later."

"Thank you, mother." Chi Jingyao hurriedly took the porridge bowl and put it down, and said, "I'll go wash up first."

"You wait in the room, I'll get you some warm water." Pei Ye said and left the room.

Seeing that Pei Ye had gone out, Rong Niang couldn't help but take a closer look at Chi Jingyao.

Chi Jingyao only thought that she was worried about him, so he took Rongniang's hand and said, "Don't worry, mother, my sister-in-law has said that my illness comes and goes quickly, and I am no longer serious."

"Yeah." Rong Niang stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Today someone came to inquire about your second brother's marriage, your elder brother said that last time, and there are still some people who are not giving up."

Chi Jingyao was taken aback, and his expression changed immediately, but he quickly calmed down, pretending to be innocent, and said, "Really?"

"But I sent everyone away." Rong Niang said: "I think no one will come to the door for a while, don't worry."

Chi Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and concealed: "I have nothing to worry about."

While talking, Pei Ye came in with water.

Rong Niang sat aside and watched, and saw Pei Ye helping Chi Jingyao wash his face and hands, and getting water for the boy to rinse his mouth.

At the end, Pei Ye took a cloth towel and wiped his hands clean.

The gestures of the two of them are natural and ordinary, and it can be seen that they get along like this on weekdays.

"With your second brother's temperament, is it boring to be with you on weekdays?" Rong Niang asked.

"Second brother is not boring." Chi Jingyao said with a smile: "He will give me a speech book when he is free."

Rong Niang looked at Pei Ye in surprise when she heard the words, and for a moment it was difficult to imagine what his second child would look like when speaking to someone.

"He is clumsy, what kind of scripts can he speak?" Rong Niang asked with a smile.

"Second brother is not stupid, he is very smart." Chi Jingyao sat at the table, sipped some porridge, and said to Rong Niang enthusiastically: "Second brother, he just doesn't behave well, even General Yang Said, the second brother is smarter than when he was young!"

Rong Niang asked again: "How is your second brother treating you normally?"

"Second brother loves me very much." Chi Jingyao said with a smile.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glanced at Pei Ye, with an unconscious attachment in his eyes.

Rong Niang saw this scene in her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but move.

After hearing Pei Ye's remarks last night, she only thought that Pei Ye had tricked Chi Jingyao into his hands.

But now it seems that the boy's attachment to his second brother cannot be faked at all.

She couldn't help feeling a little sad in her heart, thinking that after thinking about it like this, the matter might really be settled, and there would be no room for change.

But when she thought about it again, they would still be able to be together as a family in the future, and everyone was indispensable, and she felt a little more comforted in her heart.

She listened to what Pei Yuan said last night.

Coupled with her gentle and tolerant temperament, after experiencing the initial shock and sadness, she didn't resist so much.

What Pei Yuan said is correct, if Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao both recognize each other and insist on separating them, there will be nothing more than two results: they will die alone, or they will both harm an innocent girl and marry someone, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find happiness in this life.

Neither of these two outcomes was what she wanted to see.

The only regret in Rong Niang's heart was probably not being able to see Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao as fathers.

The two children he loves so much cannot have their own heirs like others...

Since ancient times, parents have always regarded watching their children get married and have children as part of their upbringing.It seems that if I wait until that day, my responsibilities to my children will never end.Naturally, Rong Niang was no exception, so after slowly accepting that Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao were married, the only thing she couldn't let go of was the issue of their children.

"Squeak!" The monkey boss woke up at some point, came out of his den, went to sit next to Chi Jingyao, and poked his fluffy head to look into Chi Jingyao's bowl.

Chi Jingyao reached out and rubbed its head, and said to Pei Ye, "Second Brother, get him something to eat."

Pei Ye left in response to the words.

As soon as Pei Ye left, Pei Ning ran over.

As soon as the little guy entered the door, he greeted Rong Niang first, and then he came to Chi Jingyao's side and said, "Uncle, it's all because I asked you to make a snowman, and you're sick. I'm sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you. Uncle didn't pay attention, so he caught the cold." Chi Jingyao hurriedly reached out and pinched his little face.

After all, Pei Ning was young, and after being coaxed by Chi Jingyao, his mood recovered a lot in an instant.

After a while, little Pei Ning got close to the big brother and started to tease the big brother.

Looking at the two little guys in front of her, Rong Niang thought to herself that if the monkey had no hair, it would really look like a child at first glance...

Thinking about it carefully, this monkey is obedient and sensible, and has been with Chi Jingyao all these years.

Now that he was with Pei Ye and Chi Jingyao, he was no different from a child. Seeing that Pei Ye went to get food for it himself, he knew that the two of them cared about the little monkey.

But monkeys are just monkeys after all, not human beings, and they will not be able to marry and have children in the future.

Rong Niang thought about it this way, wouldn't his second child and A Yao still be unable to get married and have children like others?

So there doesn't seem to be a big difference between raising a child and raising a monkey?

If she was only worried that Chi Jingyao and Pei Ye would be alone by their side in the future, this worry seemed a little unnecessary.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help reaching out and gently touching the boss's head.

Chi Jingyao couldn't help but startled when he saw her action, and then realized that when Rong Niang looked at the boss, there was a little familiar feeling in his eyes.

Chi Jingyao: ...

Why does mother's gaze resemble Peining's expression?
