Chapter 286 Extra: Since ancient times, friendship and loyalty have been difficult to achieve
February of the third year of Yuanqi.

Pei Zisu received a family letter from Hanzhou, which was written by Pei Zitian himself. After reading it, he added some pen and ink, and then wrote two letters to send to the army.

One letter was for Pei Ziyao and the other was for Pei Zimiao.

With just a few words, the matter was made clear.

On the 30th of the first lunar month, my father passed away.

The funeral took place on February 27th.

If you don't want to go, you can make your own decision.

Then he sent the message out quickly, but Pei Zisu's expression did not show much emotion.

For him, the last bit of affection he had for his father was wiped out by the fact that he sold out the children. Not killing his father and keeping him alive until now was already the last kindness he showed as a son. Asking him to go to his funeral was simply a joke.

Therefore, Pei Zisu set the letter on fire, and it eventually turned into a pile of ashes, just like the outcome between him and the Pei family, and between him and his father.

After dealing with his emotions, Pei Zisu walked out of the study and headed straight for the backyard. As soon as he entered the yard, he heard the sound of reading coming from inside. He knew that Lai Jie'er was urging her brother again.

Sure enough, before he got close, he heard Lai Jie'er speaking to her well-behaved brother in a manner like an old teacher.

"Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear. You will be a doctor in the future, so you should read a lot of medical books and expand your knowledge. Only in this way can you live up to the reputation of saving the world, right? So I will work harder and keep an eye on you. You should also work harder, speak louder, and remember the lessons well."

Hearing her words, Pei Zisu smiled.

The unpleasantness just now was all gone at this moment. When he walked over, he saw his daughter lying on the rocking chair. The leisurely movements of her daughter were completely different from her son who was sitting upright in front of her. So he coughed twice, and the children looked over at him.

When Jue'er saw that the person coming was Pei Zisu, the light that had just risen in his eyes dimmed. He thought it was his mother who came, which would have saved him, but it was his father who came, so he had no way to complain.

After all, everyone in the world knows that his father loves his elder sister, and he loves her to the core. Sometimes even he is envious. She is obviously four or five years old, how can she crawl as soon as he says so? Before he could finish his thoughts, his younger sister had already rushed into Pei Zisu's arms like a monkey, and said happily.

"Daddy, why are you here? Do you miss me?"

When she said this, her round eyes blinked, which was very cute. Pei Zisu had the words on the tip of his tongue. He originally wanted to ask her not to bully her brother like that, but it happened as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Well, I missed you so much that I came to see you."

With a smack, Lai Jie'er kissed Pei Zisu on the cheek. She was so used to this trick that Pei Zisu couldn't help but chuckle. He then glanced at his son's distressed little face and told himself.

A real man stands tall and upright, and it's okay to suffer a little injustice.

Daughters should be cherished and cherished, that's the way it should be.

After saying a few words of comfort, he put his son's resentment behind him. As a result, the father and daughter had only said three words of boasting when Jiang Shiyuan behind them said something.

"Get down, you are such a grown-up girl, and you are still crawling on your father. If outsiders see you, they will laugh at you."

"I don't. Don't Daddy and Mommy cuddle like this every day? If you can do it, why can't we?"

Jiang Shiyuan was suddenly speechless and glared at Pei Zisu, as if to say, I told you to be more careful, look at what my daughter said.

Pei Zisu felt the "pressure" from his wife and decided to temporarily abandon his daughter for his own happiness, so he scratched her nose and said.

"Don't be rude to your mother. Come down. I'll take you to the mutton soup restaurant in the west of the city tomorrow. How about that? It's so cold, that's the best food."

When she heard about food, Lai Jie'er's eyes lit up again, but there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, and then she started bargaining.

"And add the cherry pancake from Xingshenglou."

"to make."

Only after hearing this did she agree to move down from Pei Zisu. Jiang Shiyuan shook his head, glanced at Pei Zisu and said.

"Too much pampering is not good."

"It's just a fruit fry, no problem."

Lai Jie'er actually knew how to get what she wanted from her father. In contrast, Jue Ge'er was much more obedient. Seeing him like this, Jiang Shiyuan stepped forward, patted him on the back, and then said.

"Sister wants fried fruit, what does our brother want?"

"I want peach balls." When he said this, his speed made Jiang Shiyuan react instantly. Why was she always coaxed by her son's "pretending to be pitiful" look? When it comes to scheming, he has been no inferior to Lai Jie'er since he was a child.

It's just that one wants it openly and the other does it secretly.

They are really twin children, with different personalities, but they both will never give up until they achieve their goals.

Looking at the two children, Pei Zisu glanced at Jiang Shiyuan. The couple talked with them for a while before returning to their room.

After entering the house, Pei Zisu did not hide it and told her the news that Marshal Pei had passed away.

This is not unexpected.

After all, when Marshal Pei was rescued from Cheng Dengping, he had already been poisoned. The fact that he had survived for these few years was a sign of his good fortune. However, Jiang Shiyuan had some questions about his funeral.

"So are you going back to Hanzhou?"

"No, he is heartless and ungrateful. Why should I pretend to be a filial son? Second brother wrote to me for another reason. He wants to get our permission to bury them together after Aunt An dies. To be honest, I don't care about this at all. He loves her so much, and they should be entangled together for generations. Don't hurt others anymore."

Although his words were calm, they still contained a hint of sarcasm.

Marshal Pei felt sorry for so many people in his life, but he protected Aunt An very much. Now that his mother had found her own happiness, he no longer cared whether they were buried together or not.

After hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan felt that he had done nothing wrong.

I still have contact with Pei Zitian because of the brotherhood, but they have a grudge against Marshal Pei and Aunt An and will never see each other again in this life, so if I don't want to go, then I won't go.

"Okay, but since the news has spread, we should be in mourning and not let anyone spread any gossip. I'll give orders to keep the house simple."

Pei Zisu nodded and said he would not interfere in this matter.

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, Marshal Pei was buried.

Pei Zisu, Pei Ziyao and Pei Zimiao did not show up, so the only one who carried the banner and led the way was Pei Zitian. Accompanying them was Aunt An, who had long been blind. She was supported by people on both sides and was now emaciated. It seemed that she would not live long.

Since three years ago, Marshal Pei was sent back to Hanzhou.

The old house of the Pei family is no longer the same as before, especially after the King of Han disbanded his military power, the Pei family has been in decline since then. Pei Zisu has been a wealthy and idle man in Shangjing, while the sister and brother each command their own troops and serve the Empress.

After losing their most powerful support, coupled with the mistakes made by Marshal Pei in decision-making, the Pei family was not valued by the new emperor. Although it was only three years, the decline was obvious. Therefore, not many members of the Pei family came to the day of his burial.

A generation of family heads, decades of fighting, ended up with a hasty end.

For a moment, everyone sighed.

But there are also people who understand the situation and say that everything is good in his life except that he just can't get over the beauty, which is why he was dragged into this situation at the last minute, so he deserves it.

Words like these pierced Aunt An's heart. First she lost her daughter, and then her husband. When she thought about her family members who had passed away many years earlier, she felt from the bottom of her heart that there was no point in living.

Then he gave a somewhat miserable smile, and then let out a long cry towards the sky.

"General, I'm here to accompany you."

After saying this, she bit her tongue and committed suicide. She moved so quickly that even the two maids who were supporting her didn't have time to react before she died.

One funeral, two lives.

Pei Zitian didn't want to be criticized or talked about anymore, so before the burial, he took the initiative to open Marshal Pei's coffin, and then sent Aunt An in as well. The two of them slept together in life and were buried together in death, which was also their final destination.

"Close the coffin, bury it, and bury it!"

As Mr. Yin Yang finished his words, the most glorious and controversial person in the Pei family was buried...

Several years later, on the banks of the Hanzhou River.

There was a ferryman who was tall and strong, enthusiastic and cheerful. One day, he saved a girl who had escaped from her marriage and tried to commit suicide by jumping into the river. The boy felt that the girl looked familiar.

"Girl, have we met somewhere before?"

Finish.
