Chapter 8: Pei’s

Luoyang, the night is quiet, and the moon is like frost. Inside Xiuwenfang Pei’s mansion quietly, red lanterns hung on the corridors, beeping in the wind. Occasionally, a maid walked by and was light-handed, and in the huge house, only the sound of the wind could be heard.

Today, the seventh day of the first lunar month, it was a lively New Year, but because of the illness of Da Langjun Pei Ji’an, it became haze. Nowadays, no one dared to make a noise in the mansion, for fear that he would disturb Da Langjun’s recovery and be sold out by his mistress.

The family members in Pei’s mansion are like this, and the servants who are serving in the Xiyuan are more careful. Sitting at the door, the little book boy couldn’t help yawning, resisting his sleepiness and trying to watch the night. A woman wearing a green half-arm came over, saw the little book boy, called out, and asked: “Lang Jun is not awake yet?”

Little Shutong Jiaowei covered his mouth and yawned, and said, “Yes. Lang Jun has not seen him since he fell ill in the first grade of the first year of the middle school. He has been in apathy for everything these days, and even when I talked to him, there was no response. .”

The woman with green half-arms was named Lu Qi, who was originally a slave of the Gu family. Later, his wife Gu Pei lived as a widow and brought her son back to her family’s residence. Lu Qi also followed to Pei’s house.

It stands to reason that Luqi should not be dissatisfied with the Pei family. Even if the Gu family’s ancestors’ reputation is noble, it can’t help the Gu family’s death and family decay. The old man Gu Shang and Langjun Gu Yuan died one after another. To this day, there is only one male left in the clan, Gu Mingke.

The old lady Gu Shang had written many books, but his family was not rich. By the time of Gu Mingke’s generation, there was only one cold house, Susukino. On the contrary, the grandfather’s daughter-in-law, the young wife Gu Pei’s natal family was flourishing, and by the time of Gotti, the bed was full of fluorescein, and the nephews, nephews, nephews and sons and sons were all high-ranking officials. After Gu Yuan died of illness, Gu Pei threw down the Gu family’s ancestral home, brought the prince Gu Mingke to Beijing, and returned to her family to settle.

The Pei family took them in free of charge for Gu Mingke to take medicine to treat illnesses, read and write, and what Pei’s Lang Jun had in normal times was what he could do. With such a good treatment, Luqi shouldn’t complain. However, whoever lives under the fence knows what it’s like to live under the fence, and I don’t usually see it. Now, Pei Dalangjun is completely exposed when he is sick.

Lu Qi looked at the unattended West Yard and took a few deep breaths, still feeling panicked. Pei Ji’an is ill, isn’t their Lang Jun not sick? The servants of the Pei Mansion paid close attention to Pei Ji’an and didn’t say anything. Even his wife went there to watch, regardless of Gu Mingke who had been ill for five or six days. Obviously, Lang Jun is the wife’s biological son.

Lu Qi became more and more angry, she sullen her face and said angrily: “They don’t care, are you not concerned about Lang Jun? Lang Jun hasn’t even eaten much food these days, and you still have the mind to sleep outside. ?”

Jiao Wei was still young. After being scolded by Lu Qi, he was afraid and wronged: “However, Mrs. Pei said that Lang Jun is ill and needs to rest…”

Lu Qi snorted Jiaowei with anger, and stepped forward to twist Jiaowei’s ears: “Listen to what others say. Is your surname Gu or Pei? Don’t hurry in and guard Lang Jun! Gu’s three-generation single biography, to Lang Jun This is the only incense stick. We are offending the curfew to ask the doctor, and we must not let the gentleman make any mistakes.”

The Jiaowei ridged his ears, wailing pain. They were making noise here, and the door of the house suddenly creaked and opened from the inside. When Jiao Wei and Lu Qi heard the movement, they turned their heads together. When they saw the figure at the door, the two of them instantly lost their voice, and they didn’t even dare to breathe for a while.

Qin Ke changed into Gu Mingke’s clothes, and quietly glanced at the two outsiders: “I am getting better, and there is no major problem. Don’t disturb others.”

Jiao Wei and Lu Qi looked at their Lang Jun in a daze, Lu Qi’s face was shocked, Jiao Wei’s eyes widened, and they forgot that Lu Qi’s ears were still being pulled by Lu Qi. Obviously they haven’t seen each other for a few days, why do they think Lang Jun seems to have changed a lot?

It’s more than a change, it’s a change of person. Lang Jun was frail and sick since he was a child, and he always spoke softly and quietly. Moreover, Lang Jun’s appearance is pure and handsome, but he is never so thrilling.

Before… At this time Jiao Wei and Lu Qi thought about it again, and suddenly realized that they couldn’t remember what the former Lang Jun was like. They slowly fell into hesitation, as if Lang Jun had always been like this, with this voice, with such a temperament.

Qin Ke had just returned from the Black Forest, and he had obtained the Hunyuan Immortal Pill. He didn’t need to press on the speed anymore, and he reached the eastern capital in an instant. Qin Ke finally got rid of Li Chaoge, and was about to clean up for a while, but was disturbed by the noise of the twittering outside. He couldn’t bear it, so he could only come forward to stop the two little attendants from making a noise.

After he finished speaking, seeing the two men staring at him blankly, they didn’t realize that they were wrong. Qin Ke can only say a little more clearly: “I want to rest, you can withdraw.”

Lu Qi finally recovered from the shock: “But, Lang Jun, you are still sick…”

Qin Ke pulled up his sleeves and glanced at Lu Qi faintly. Obviously he didn’t show any ferocious expressions, but Lu Qi was frightened in a cold sweat, and he dared not say a word.

Lu Qi and Jiao Wei bowed their heads at the same time, and backed quietly. Qin Ke closed the door and finally enjoyed a moment of cleansing.

There is no light in the room, but all the furnishings are invisible in Qin Ke’s eyes. He quietly scanned the traces belonging to Gu Mingke, recalling the information Xiao Ling gave him when he left the heaven.

Gu Mingke, Pei Ji’an’s cousin, father Gu Yuan, grandfather Gu Shang, are both well-known, knowledgeable, and talented writers and historians. His mother, Gu Pei, is the eldest daughter of Pei’s family and the eldest aunt of Pei Ji’an. Gu Mingke’s family can be said to be a heir to poetry and poetry. The grandfather Gu Shang presided over the compilation of the official history of the six dynasties in the north and south. After Shang died, he continued to compile Sui history. It’s a pity that Gu’s family is weak in ancestral frailty. Both Gu Shang and Gu Yuan died young. Gu Mingke was even better. He coughed constantly in his early teens and was inseparable from medicine all year round.

Compiling history books is a long and painstaking project. By the time of Gu Mingke’s generation, the Gu family was almost in decline. After the death of his father Gu Yuan, his mother Gu Pei didn’t want to stay in the old house to live a hard life. Secondly, she had to see a doctor for Gu Mingke, so she took him back to her natal family-Dongdu Zhongshu Lingpei’s mansion.

Gu Mingke and Pei Ji’an are cousins, they are only one year apart, but their fates are completely different. In the previous life, after Gu Mingke had repaired the tail of Sui Dynasty history and completed the will of his father and grandfather, he passed away. He was only twenty years old when he died. That year, Pei Mansion had not yet been involved in the court struggle, Pei Ji’an was very energetic and was the Pei Jiayulang who was well-known in the capital, and Li Chaoge had not even returned to Luoyang.

To die in the building is about to fall, in a sense, it is also considered lucky.

But now, standing in the west courtyard of the Pei Mansion, the person who determines Gu Mingke’s future destiny and development has become Qin Ke.

After Qin Ke and Xiao Ling reached an agreement, Qin Ke left the Sanqing Palace and rushed to the world. At the same time, Xiao Ling twisted the reincarnation plate, looking back in time, and emptied the memories of mortals in this life. For the rest of the world, their time has flown back from the first year of Yuanjia to the 22nd year of Yonghui, but they themselves didn’t even feel it, thinking they just slept. Only Pei Ji’an and Li Chaoge, the couple, retained the memories of their previous lives.

For people who have died in the previous life, such as the real Gu Mingke who died before Li Chaoge became the emperor, he has entered the reincarnation road and reincarnated and will no longer return to the Yang world. He was replaced by Beichen Tianzun Qin Ke.

Because Qin Ke had a task, Xiao Ling changed their impression of Gu Mingke when he cleared the memories of mortals for convenience. When people in this life think of Gu Mingke, they always feel vague, looking at flowers in the mist, until they see Qin Ke’s deity, they suddenly remember that this is Gu Mingke. From now on, Gu Mingke’s voice, appearance, and personality will be replaced by Qin Ke. In other words, what the world sees is actually Qin Ke.

Anyway, Gu Mingke himself was also a sick child, and everyone had a weak impression of him, and he did not violate peace. This is a bit risky, but it’s better than Qin Ke’s use of Yi Rongshu throughout the whole process. Gu Mingke is frail, sick and sentimental, but Qin Ke is not. Even a god, pretending to be another person for a long time will show off.

It’s better to clear everyone’s memories of Gu Mingke and let Qin Ke take the battle to complete the task.

Originally, Qin Ke’s speed on the road was equivalent to Xiao Ling’s speed of resetting her samsara, but Qin Ke went to Lipingshan midway, a little later than expected. In order to ensure that Pei’s family does not reveal anything here, Qin Ke pinched a puppet from a distance and threw it into Gu Mingke’s room, and declared that he was ill. This is why Jiao Wei said that Lang Jun was stunned, he didn’t eat or drink, and he didn’t respond much to his words.

But Xiao Ling resets only human time. One day in the sky and one year in the ground. For the heavens, the days go on as usual. The fairy peony, the once king of flowers, has been punished in reincarnation, and the Heavenly Lord of Beichen disappeared for two days inexplicably. Come back a few days late.

The premise is that the greedy wolf goes through the calamity smoothly, and don’t reset it for the third time.

In a moment of effort, Qin Ke had already memorized Gu Mingke’s life. After sitting at the desk, he flipped through Gu Mingke’s book. After a while, he knew Gu Mingke’s disposition and preferences.

This is really a very boring task, hiding in the mortal world as another person to help Greedy Wolf follow his destined life track. To be honest, in Qin Ke’s opinion, it is no different from a child’s play. If it weren’t for the fact that Greedy Wolf is the next candidate for Xikui Tianzun, Qin Ke would never take this time-wasting thing anyway.

Qin Ke thought with certainty in his heart that there would not be a third time.

This time, it must be successful.

As for Zhou Changgeng, it was a complete surprise. This was the only thing that made Qin Ke feel that his trip to the world was meaningful. Now that he knew the whereabouts of Zhou Changgeng, it was only a matter of effort to catch him, and Qin Ke was not in a hurry to go now. He was on a mission, and it was not too late to find Zhou Changgeng after he had finished his greed-for-wolf thing.

The tasks must be done one by one, and no jump in the queue is allowed.

On the first night into the role, Qin Ke spent the time looking through the Gu family’s collection and reading Gu Mingke’s manuscripts. Although Qin Ke suppressed his cultivation, it was the ceiling of Heavenly Court’s combat power after all, and he no longer needed to rest like a mortal. Not sleeping all night is not a problem at all for him.

In the early morning of the next day, the morning light broke and the snow flew, Luoyang City opened the palace gates, city gates, and square gates amidst the vigorous drumbeat. There were long ago people going to the market and trading people at the gate of the square, waiting for the lifting of the ban. After the drums sounded, they prepared their bags one after another, followed the flow of people, slowly squeezed out of the square market, and merged into the streets extending in all directions in the eastern capital.

At Pei’s house, Qin Ke also closed the book, planning to go to bed to pretend to be. His current role is a weak elder brother, who stays up all night and is full of energy is not in line with the personality.

After a while, the coke tail came awkwardly. He covered his mouth and yawned as he cleaned the house.

After meeting Lang Jun last night, for some reason, Jiao Wei did not fall asleep all night. As long as he closes his eyes, he can see a white-robed, cold and radiant fairy looking at him indifferently. Jiao Wei can’t remember that this is his own man, but always feels that he has seen a god.

The fairy is pretty good-looking, scary is also really scary, Jiao Wei turned to that face, and didn’t even dare to breathe. For this reason, Jiao Wei didn’t sleep well all night, and when he got up today, he yawned and stunned.

Jiao Wei scratched his head and wiped the table. After he wiped the tables and chairs for the guests, he wrung the rag and walked for two steps. After seeing the carved sandalwood grid, a young man in white was leaning on the collapse and flipping a book. He has a casual posture and long sleeves. There is nothing special about his movements, but there is a fairy air around him.

Jiaowei held the dirty rag, and suddenly didn’t know if he should go in. He looked down at his rough hands, and for the first time he gave birth to a filthy heart. He put the rag back into the copper plate, wiped his hands, and walked in gently: “Lang Jun, the cold in the first month is heavy. Your health is not good. Don’t read too often and hurt your body.”

The slumped Lang Jun did not look up, but nodded slightly invisibly: “Okay, I see.”

After he finished speaking, there was no more words. Jiao Wei couldn’t help himself. He used to pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of Lang Jun because of his young age, but today he dare not presumptuously in front of Lang Jun inexplicably. Jiao Wei Zuo Yi, on tiptoe, left quietly.

Jiao Wei picked up the water basin and walked outside. He walked around and said he didn’t think their son was so good-looking before. What happened today? He was thinking about things in his heart, but he didn’t pay attention to the road ahead, and almost bumped into someone when he went out.

“Presumptuous!” Before Jiao Wei could react, he was pushed away by a strong force from the opposite side. He staggered a few steps under his feet and fell to the ground with the basin.

The first month has not yet thaw, and the ground is extremely hard. The copper basin slams on the ground and makes a loud noise, which is especially harsh in the quiet courtyard. A man wearing a blue cloak outside the courtyard slowly frowned, and scolded: “Presumptuous, my cousin is recuperating inside. How can you wait for the noise?”

The attendants around him hurriedly bowed to plead guilty, and his tail got up from the ground. His **** fell sorely, but at this moment, he was like a okay person, still smiling and saying hello to the visitor: “Pei Dalang, you are here. These two. Are you ill?”

Pei Ji’an nodded slightly, his face was as white as jade, his lips were pale, and he looked pale as he had recovered from a serious illness. Pei Ji’an coughed, his voice was still dumb, and asked, “Where is Cousin Gu?”
