Chapter 147 Pei Ying takes the envoy (Part 2)

It was the first time that a woman had come in Wei Yan's study, and she sat face to face with him. In the Tang Dynasty, where the ranks of hierarchy were extremely strict, this was incredible, but Wei Yan didn't care. Pei Ying was Zhang Huan's plenipotent representative. This was certainly one aspect, but Wei Yan was concerned about why Zhang Huan sent Pei Ying as an envoy?

He knew very well that Zhang Huan was definitely not an impulsive and emotional person. On the contrary, he was far-sighted and decisive and ruthless in his work. He was even much more terrifying than Duan Xiushi. But such a person sent a woman to deal with the final separation of interests of the two forces, which made Wei Er ponder about Zhang Huan’s real intention.

There is no doubt that Pei Ying must be Zhang Huan's woman. Although she had not heard of marriage between them, it was just that Pei Jun had not announced it to the public. Wait a moment! "Pei Jun", Wei Ye's thoughts were frozen on this name. His mind was like lightning and fire. He suddenly realized that Zhang Huan was not asking Pei Ying to negotiate. He clearly used this matter to announce to the world that he was already Pei Jun's man. Then, would Pei Jun intervene in Longyou?

Wei Yan was panicked and he realized that Longyou was about to enter a troublesome situation.

In fact, he guessed that although Pei Ying was the full representative of Zhang Huan, Zhang Huan did not give her any specific tasks, nor did he tell her the bottom line of negotiations. He just ordered her to pay her birthday to the old lady on her behalf, so as to ease the relationship between Hexi and Wei family. However, one thing Pei Ying knew was that she now represents the entire Hexi, not the daughter of the Pei family. Therefore, when Pei Ying was grandly welcomed by Wei Yan and invited into the study, she did not give in at all, nor did she have any respect for Uncle Shi.

She took out a letter from Zhang Huan and gently pushed it to Wei Yan and said, "Shangshu Wei, this is a letter written by my governor. Everything he wants to say is in the letter."

Wei Yan's thoughts returned to Helong. He pulled out Zhang Huan's letter and read it hurriedly. The content of the letter was very simple, but the tone was very sincere. He expressed regret for some unpleasant things that happened between them. He was willing to repair the two families and deal with Tubo together.

As for the exchange of interests required to repair a relationship, he did not mention it at all. After reading the letter, Wei Yan smiled and said, "Besides this letter, what else do Governor Zhang Huan have to say for Miss Pei to take over?"

Pei Ying pursed her lips and smiled, "I have two purposes this time. One is to bring a letter to my governor, and the other is to pay a birthday to the old lady for Governor Zhang. There is nothing else to do."

Wei Yan nodded secretly. As expected, Zhang Huan asked Pei Ying to go on a mission to Kaiyang to dance with a sword, and the intention was to Pei Gong.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked with a smile: "Are you married?"

Pei Ying's face was covered with a blush, which seemed a little shy, but the shyness disappeared in an instant. She nodded and said calmly: "If Wei Shangshu is willing, it is not impossible to call me Mrs. Zhang."

Wei Yan laughed, "So, I will congratulate you. I will prepare a gift tomorrow. When Zhang Huan was kind to my Wei family, I have never thanked him. I can take this opportunity to thank him!"

Pei Ying stood up and gave a light bow, "Thank you, Uncle Wei Shi for your concern. I want to see the old lady now, I wonder if it is convenient?"

Wei Yan nodded, and he called someone and ordered him to take Pei Ying to the inner house. After Pei Ying left, Wei Yan immediately invited Jiang Huan. Jiang Huan had been living in Wei's mansion for four or five days. He wanted to return to the capital several times but was kept by Wei Yan. He discussed everything about the Wei family with him. Jiang Huan was like a drowning man. After struggling several times, he completely sank into the bottom of the water. Now he has officially become a backbone of the Wei Party.

After listening to Wei Yan's statement, Jiang Huan pondered for a moment: "Zhang Huan is a smart man. He should know that the Wei family has a purpose to reconcile with him, and he must have asked the Wei family. Not to mention anything else, Hexi lacks self-sufficiency, which is his weakness. In theory, he should take the opportunity to make a request and reach a real reconciliation with the Wei family, but he did not mention this matter at all in the exchanges between the two envoys, so I thought he had only two considerations. One was waiting for the Wei family to speak first, and the second was he was dragging it down."

"Drag?" Wei Yan was a little puzzled, "Can Brother Jiang explain it more clearly?"

Jiang Huan smiled faintly, "If I guessed correctly, Zhang Huan is now using the strategy of dragging,

He wanted to wait for Cui and Pei to mediate and make himself a pawn for the competition between Cui and Pei. For a while, he had no foundation and was afraid that others would take the opportunity to eat him, so he refused to win over Cui and Pei. At this time, he already had Hexi as his backing, so he naturally had the opportunity to enjoy the cool air under the big tree. He borrowed Cui and Pei to seek Longyou and Shangshu Wei. This person was far-sighted and if he didn't get rid of it early, he would have become a big trouble."

Wei Yan remembered the intention of Zhang Huan to send Pei Ying on the mission again. He lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Let’s talk about Pei Ying being taken to the inner house. Mrs. Wei had long sent her granddaughter Wei Ruoyue to pick her up. Wei Ruoyue and Pei Ying were about the same age and were Wei Qing’s sister. She lived in the capital for a long time. This time, she was only after her grandmother’s birthday. She was very close to the old house. She met an old friend in a foreign land today, and they were particularly intimate.

Wei Ruoyue didn't say much, she was very quiet and shy. Most of the time she was a very patient listener, and today was no exception. The two of them walked hand in hand and walked into the inner house. Along the way, she listened to Pei Ying's feelings.

"Do you know who I met in Tianbao County? Yang Feiyu, you can't imagine it! A few years ago, Chang'an said that she committed suicide, but she didn't expect that she would appear in the most remote county in the Tang Dynasty."

"Oh, Yang Feiyu, we have also learned piano from her!"

"Yes! That year, on the Lantern Festival, she played a song of colorful clothes on the imperial concubine's building, which attracted three thousand students. She was known as the most popular person. Unfortunately, she married the wrong man."

"Oh, she's so unfortunate."

Pei Ying frowned and said with some complaints: "Don't always be oh oh. Do you want to chant the Xiang Xiang Tiange next? Tell me about yourself."

"Oh, but I have nothing to say."

"Then let's talk about others." Pei Ying suddenly remembered something, and she asked without saying a word: "How is Cui Ning?"

"She! I haven't seen her for a long time. I heard that she locked herself in the room all day and never went anywhere. Yiyi went to see her and said that she was very thin and wanted to become a monk."

Pei Ying's heart suddenly sank. She was speechless and no longer spoke. She followed Wei Ruoyue into the inner house where Mrs. Wei lived with great worries.

In the Wei family, Mrs. Wei is the god of heaven. She is the de facto supreme ruler of the Wei family. No one in the Wei family dares to ignore her. But she never asks about the foreign affairs of the Wei family. She has lived in a small circle of the Wei family's inner house for many years. The person she feels most depressed is her eldest grandson Wei Qing. She has regarded him as her own treasure since she was a child, and has lived in the inner house and is living among women. Even now Wei Qing is in her twenties, she still refuses to let him live outside. Last year, Wei Qing was arrested and suffered a little grievance. Mrs. Wei was even more heartbroken. She loved him so much this year. Wei Er wanted his son to join the army, but was scolded by the old lady.

Pei Ying walked into the inner hall of the Wei family with a brilliant golden wall. She saw Mrs. Wei sitting on a red flowered brocade jacket, wearing a red flowered brocade jacket, with a gracious face, watching her walk in with a smile. Dozens of daughters-in-law and granddaughters were surrounded by her left, while Wei Qing sat on her left, looking at her with complicated eyes. On the other side of the old lady was Jiang Huan's daughter Jiang Ying.

Pei Ying knew Jiang Ying. She smiled quietly at Jiang Ying, and then Yingying knelt down to the old lady and said in a sweet voice: "The granddaughter Ying'er celebrates her grandmother's birthday, wishing her grandmother a hundred years longer than Nanshan."

Mrs. Wei laughed so happily and said to Wei Qing: "Why don't you help your sister up."

Wei Qing responded and was about to stand up, but Jiang Ying next to him moved quickly. He stepped forward and helped Pei Ying up, and smiled and said, "My sister Pei hasn't seen each other for several months, but she has become more and more handsome."

Wei Qing pursued Pei Ying, and everyone in Chang'an knew that she, Jiang Ying, didn't know?

Mrs. Wei was slightly stunned, and then she realized that she was a little disliked. Her most disgusted was that women were jealous. From the first time she saw Jiang Ying, Mrs. Wei didn't like her gaze, thinking that she was not worthy of her grandson, but this was a marriage made by her son for the benefit of the Wei family, so she wouldn't say much. At worst, she could let her grandson marry a few more women he liked as a flat wife.

Pei Ying is her favorite among all the girls from aristocratic families. She is sweet-mouthed and knows how to understand the hearts of the elderly. Especially when she was in trouble last year, she took her boat to Chang'an. Mrs. Wei had long regarded her as her granddaughter-in-law. In her heart, Pei Ying was hundreds of times better than her current granddaughter-in-law. Her father is the left prime minister. Is it better than a small minister in marriage with Zuoxiang?

Mrs. Wei was dissatisfied, but she didn't show it on her face. She coughed gently, then called Pei Ying to her side, hugged her with heartache and said, "It's so cold and snowy that it's hard for you to come from Chang'an to celebrate my birthday. If you say something, I'll let Qing'er pick you up. I'll agree to stay here for a few months. I'll let Qing'er accompany you to Longyou."

Jiang Ying next to her heard that she was short of Pei Ying and Qing'er. She had been to Longyou for several days, but she had never heard her say that Wei Qing would accompany her to Longyou for a walk. Although she did not dare to have an attack, her face sank into her face and her eyes looked even more gloomy.

Pei Ying had a delicate heart. When she saw the old lady misunderstood that she came from Chang'an, she saw Jiang Ying's face unhappy. More importantly, Wei Qing behind her, his infatuated eyes almost pierced her back. Of course, she knew the key point in her heart that Mrs. Wei still did not give up.

She didn't say it out loud, and smiled and said, "My grandmother doesn't know. In a few days in Laba Festival, the Pei family will worship their ancestors. Dad asked me to rush back soon. Ying'er is her good daughter, so how can she be disobedient? Next time! I will definitely come here to accompany my grandmother next time."

Her voice was sweet and a little coquettish, which made Mrs. Wei feel so happy. She held Pei Ying's hand and said repeatedly: "Okay! OK! Good granddaughter, my grandmother likes you the most."

At this time, Wei Qing could no longer help, so he stepped forward and smiled and said, "Why would I do it and send Yingmei back to Chang'an?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ying could no longer control herself. She snorted heavily: "I will go back to Chang'an tomorrow!" She threw away the people in the room and turned around and left.

The inner hall was very quiet. Mrs. Wei stared at her back coldly, waiting for her to walk away, and then sighed: "Some people nowadays! They no longer take the old man seriously."

She patted Pei Ying's hand, "Grandma is tired, I want to go and have a rest. Thank you for coming to celebrate your birthday. I won't stop you from leaving. Just give me a face and let Qing'er give you a ride!"

Pei Ying had no choice but to agree first. She walked out of the inner hall, and Wei Qing followed her. The two of them walked more than ten steps. Pei Ying turned around and smiled and said, "Let's send it here! Brother Wei, please come back."

Wei Qing was stunned. He watched Pei Ying walk away and suddenly thought that he would live with a woman he didn't love for the rest of his life, and that the person he had been infatuated with for many years would never be able to meet again. The grief and anger in his heart surged out. He could no longer suppress the burst of emotions in his heart. He rushed to Pei Ying, stretched his arms to block her way, "Don't leave!"

Seeing that his eyes were almost desperate, Pei Ying couldn't bear it, so she said softly: "Jiang Ying should cry in the house now. Go and coax her! She is deeply in love with you and is your good match. You should treat her well."

"But I don't like her at all!" Wei Qing roared out, and the veins on his forehead swelled up, "I like you, don't you know? I have always liked you, I have liked you since I was a child, and I want to marry you!"

Pei Ying didn't move. She shook her head gently and whispered: "I know, but it's not suitable between us. I've found someone I like. He is in Hexi. Tell you that I actually came from Hexi, not Chang'an."

Wei Qing seemed to be struck by a muffled lightning. He couldn't believe his ears. When he saw Pei Ying leaving, he suddenly rushed up and grabbed Pei Ying's arm and shouted fiercely: "Are you talking about Zhang Huan? Is he worthy?"

Pei Ying shook his hand suddenly, and the gratitude in her heart suddenly turned into extremely disgust. She ignored him and continued to move forward. Wei Qing finally became violent. He roared loudly without reason, "I like you, you must marry me!"

Pei Ying suddenly stopped and she said coldly: "Mr. Wei, who do you think of me? Your maid from the Wei family or your servant from the Wei family. If you like it, I have to marry you? I was grateful to you and I could treat you as my brother and friend in the future, but now, you really disappoint me."

She took a deep breath and said word by word: "I tell you, Pei Ying, I, like a hero who stands tall and is not a Jiao Sun who hides behind my grandmother all day long. You said just now that he is not worthy, do you know? I followed him thousands of miles to know what a real man is, not scared by difficulties and never give up. He marched in the blizzard for two days and captured your Hexi, and what were you doing? It is precisely because of him that a woman, a woman, can be on an equal footing with your father and the dignified Minister of War, and can you do it? What does it mean to be unworthy? You are truly unworthy!"

After Pei Ying finished speaking, she no longer looked at Wei Qing and turned around and left the inner house. Wei Qing stared blankly at her beautiful figure and walked away. Her eyes were filled with infinite nostalgia and sorrow. Before he knew it, he was already in tears. At this moment, he knew that he had finally lost her.
