Chapter 119 Where is the wine? Where's the meat?
As soon as he saw that figure, Yu Wenye's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.
Shang Ruyi also hurriedly followed up, and saw those figures getting closer and closer. It was two officers escorting a shackled man, who was slowly walking towards them, and that The one who was shackled was none other than Pei Xingyuan, who had just had a drink with them two days ago.
It’s just that two days ago, Pei Xingyuan was dressed in fine clothes, handsome and elegant, and he looked like a handsome young man. But the man in front of him was wearing ragged short clothes and a lonely expression. Every step he took was so heavy. Compared with before, he was completely different.
To change from a noble son to an exiled prisoner, isn’t it like falling from the clouds into the mire?
Just thinking about this made Shang Ruyi feel uncomfortable.
At this time, they had already walked in front of several people. Pei Xingyuan was looking at the road under his feet blankly, but suddenly felt a familiar breath. When he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Feng Chen?"
Yu Wenye looked at him solemnly: "Xingyuan..."
When the two met, they were speechless for a moment. .
But just for a moment, Pei Xingyuan suddenly laughed again and said: "I knew you were a brother. Even Lei Yu came to see me off, how could you ignore me."
As he said that, he smiled. He said: "Where is the wine? Where is the meat?"
"..."
"If you practice it for me, you can't have nothing to eat, right?"
"..."
"Even if you don't have any of these things, at least give me some cash so that I can have a better time on the road."
His words still contained a bit of joking and ridicule, which was different from the way he used to talk and drink. No different, but everyone knows that at this time, he is just enjoying himself in misery, and he even wants to hide his sadness under this cynical mask.
Yu Wenye looked at him quietly, but did not break the mask.
Just said: "How many do you want?"
Pei Xingyuan was also stunned for a moment, and immediately said with a smile: "As many as you want."
Yu Wenye did not hesitate, and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, but did not hand it to him. Instead, he turned to the two officers who were escorting him and said in a deep voice: "You two, this is a very steep road. Yuan, if you have a mouthful of meat to eat, give him one If you have a glass of wine, give him a sip of water."
Pei Xingyuan on the side shouted dissatisfied: "Why don't you give it to me?"
Ke Shang Ruyi understood. Yu Wenye means.
The money was given to him, but he had no freedom, and it was useless to hold it. On the contrary, it would easily lead to trouble; the money was given to the two official servants. At least for the sake of Yu Wenye, he loosened his fingers and Pei Xingyuan's Life will be much easier.
Sure enough, the two officials were not polite. They took the banknotes with a smile and put them away, and then said: "Young Master is indeed very righteous. Just now in the city, General Lei's daughter also told us how many Don’t worry, we won’t embarrass Mr. Pei even for the sake of the young ladies.”
Yu Wenye nodded and said, "Can you two wait nearby? We still have a few words to say."
The two officials stepped aside politely.
Yu Wenye then turned to look at Pei Xingyuan, but the two looked at each other for a long time without saying another word.
Many emotions, at this time, seem to really not need to be said anymore.
Finally, Pei Xingyuan glanced at Shang Ruyi who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "My wife is also here to see me off. It seems that I, Pei Xingyuan, really have a lot of face."
Speaking of which, Shang Ruyi only met him once and did not have a deep friendship, but seeing him like this at this time, she still couldn't help but feel sad.
She whispered: "Master Pei, please take care of yourself."
Pei Xingyuan smiled. After laughing, he looked at Shang Ruyi again: "Sister-in-law, are you going to give someone away too?"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Pei Xingyuan let out a long sigh and said, "That night I ran out to find Brother Fengchen because I didn't want to drink with those old antiques. If I had known that was what they were discussing, I would have made trouble at home no matter what, and let their I can’t drink wine.”
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
After the laughter was over, everyone was left with only sourness in their hearts - in fact, even if Pei Shi and Shen Shiyan did not drink together that night, these people were worried about the country and would definitely find an opportunity to advise the emperor to stop the attack. Liaodong has certain fates that are unavoidable.
So he just asked: "By the way, Mr. Pei, where are your father and the others?"
When he mentioned his father, Pei Xingyuan showed a trace of worry and said, "They were escorted on the road yesterday. ”
This is common sense. Most of the exiled prisoners are dissatisfied with the imperial court. In order to prevent them from gathering in crowds to cause trouble, the Ministry of War exiles no more than two or three prisoners at a time. Young people like Pei Xingyuan must be strictly guarded, and naturally they must be exiled separately from the rest of the population. .
Shang Ruyi asked again: "Miss Lei also came to see you off?"
"Yes,"
Mentioning this, Pei Xingyuan sneered and said: "On weekdays Those here who call me brothers are all Tian reached out to ask me to borrow money, but now I can't even see her, only her - I can see clearly this time the warmth and coldness of human relationships."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment and said: "It's rough. See people’s hearts.”
Pei Xingyuan also said: "Yes, by the way, she also specifically asked about the situation of Madam-in-law's family."
"Oh?" Shang Ruyi was a little surprised. Lei Yu didn't treat her well at all. Will you still care about yourself?
Pei Xingyuan smiled and said: "I have told you a long time ago that she has no bad intentions, she just has a bad face. Madam-in-law, please don't mind."
"..."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi smiled meaningfully.
In fact, she never minded Lei Yu's attitude towards her. What's more, now that she knew who Yu Wenye's heart was, if she continued to mind Lei Yu's attitude, she would be making herself uncomfortable.
She said lightly: "What do I have to mind."
Looking at her somewhat gloomy eyes, Pei Xingyuan said: "Actually-"
His words Not finished yet, Yuwen Ye said: "I will send someone to Lingnan to make arrangements. You can bear with me for the time being."
Pei Xingyuan then turned back to look at him and said jokingly: "Rather than asking me to be patient, it is better to wait for the Duke-"< br>
Having said this, he smiled.
Looked up at the sky again, and then said: "Okay, it's getting late. I have to say goodbye after a long journey, so you two should stop nagging. It's time for me to get on my way."
After saying that, he said to the two officials: "Two eldest brothers, let's go."
The two officials immediately came forward and greeted Yu Wenye and others politely. After bowing, he escorted him forward.
Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi stood there, looking at Pei Xingyuan, who was still swaying even though he was shackled, and seemed to still have a bit of his usual unrestrained style.
After watching his back disappear, Shang Ruyi turned to look at Yu Wenye: "He just said, what are you waiting for dad?"
