Tibet

At the same moment when Li Ye was teaching Zhang Ping how to cook, Li Dai and Pei Sanniang finally met in a tavern in Chang'anfang. This was actually not the first time they met. In the past ten years, Li Dai came to see Pei Sanniang several times, but every time Pei Sanniang beat him out every time.

"Tell me! What danger is Ye'er in?" Pei Sanniang said coldly.

"Pingping, first of all I want to apologize. I have been sorry for you all these years!" Li Dai finally found the opportunity and was about to kneel down and apologize.

Pei Sanniang reacted quickly and kicked the bench over, preventing him from kneeling.

Pei Sanniang's eyes flashed with anger, and she gritted her teeth and scolded: "Stop talking about these useless nonsense, get down to business quickly, I don't have time to spend with you!"

Li Dai had no choice but to stand up and sit down again, sighing and saying: "I know that Ye'er is a flying shark, and the Yang family also knows that in this polo match, the King Ning polo team and the Yang family polo team competed to qualify from the group, and the Yang family won. Sure enough, he was eliminated.

The Yang family already knew that this was Ye'er's idea, and they hated Ye'er deeply. Although King Ning could save Ye'er for the time being, what about the future? The Yang family is famous for holding grudges, and they will not let Ye'er go. "

"Hmph! If the worst happens, I will take Ye'er and leave Chang'an. The world is so big, where is the best place to stay?"

"Ping Ping..."

"You are not allowed to call me Ping Ping, you are not qualified!"

"Okay! Although you can hide in the countryside, what about Ye'er's future? Ye'er is a genius. Do you have the heart to let him remain unknown for the rest of his life, without even a chance to display his talent?"

"Just tell me! What do you want?"

"My father is willing to accept Ye'er's return and officially become a member of the Li family."

Pei Sanniang was furious, "I will not marry you as my concubine, so stop dreaming about Spring and Autumn."

"No! No! No! These are two different things. I know I'm sorry for you and you won't forgive me. I don't dare to ask you to come back to me. But you let Ye'er return home and give him a formal identity. Ye'er With his grandfather’s protection, the Yang family doesn’t dare to do anything to him?”

When it came to her son's vital interests, Pei Sanniang did not refuse. She said after a while: "Let me think about it!"

"Sanniang, once Ye'er is naturalized, he will no longer be an illegitimate child, and he will be able to live a good life with his head held high!"

"Fart! When can my son not hold his head high? Get out of here, get out of here!"

"I'm leaving! That's all I'm leaving. Don't be angry. Your heart will hurt if you are angry!"

Li Dai was so frightened that he hurriedly left the tavern. He turned back and took a deep look at Pei Sanniang, sighed up to the sky, got on his horse, and went away in despair.

Pei Sanniang pressed her left hand to her chest and slapped the table hard, "This bastard, I'm so angry!"

………

It was already dusk when Li Ye returned home.

Aunt Mu immediately arranged the food, and the family of three sat down to eat.

"Mom, I met an old lady today. Who do you think she is?"

"What did you say?" Pei Sanniang was a little distracted.

"I said I met an old lady named Pei today!"

"Who is she?" Pei Sanniang suddenly became interested.

"I don't know her name, but my uncle said she is your great-aunt!"

"Great aunt?"

Pei Sanniang thought for a while and suddenly blurted out, "It must be Pei Zhen!"

"Mom, have you seen her?"

"I met her once when I was a child. I can't remember clearly. She went to Liangzhou and took Pei Min away. She should have taught Pei Min his martial arts skills."

"That's her. She has been living in the palace, nicknamed Liefeng."

Pei Sanniang suddenly realized, "It turns out that she is the famous Lie Feng. Your grandfather said that this elder is very powerful. Let us try not to provoke her."

Li Ye took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to his mother, "This is what the old lady gave you!"

"What is it?"

Pei Sanniang continued to read the paper carefully. She had studied for several years and could barely read. She had no problem reading the prescriptions. There were fifteen ointment prescriptions in total. Each of them was a secret that was not told in the palace. Even she could not decipher Wang Jishenba. The secret recipe for poison is also included.

"Ha ha!"

Pei Sanniang was so happy that she didn't even care if she dropped her chopsticks, waving the piece of paper around the room, "With these secret plaster recipes, I'm going to get rich!"

"Crazy girl, hurry up and eat!"

Aunt Mu knocked on the bowl and said dissatisfiedly: "Your son is watching from the side! How can there be such a crazy mother-in-law?"

Li Ye smiled and said: "It's okay, I've long been used to it!"

"Brat, will I always be like this?"

Pei Sanniang hit him hard on the head, "Let's talk again, what kind of person is your mother?"

Li Ye covered his head and whispered: "My mother is bright and beautiful, gentle and kind, and can be diligent and thrifty at home. She is a typical good wife and mother!"

Pei Sanniang nodded with satisfaction, "Forget about being a good wife, a good mother is more or less the same. If I hadn't raised you, you would have been picked up by a wild dog. Go get a pair of chopsticks again!"

Li Ye quickly ran to the kitchen to get back a pair of chopsticks and handed them to his mother. He hesitated for a moment, pretending to be casual and asked: "Two days ago, a middle-aged scholar went to Yonghefang to find his mother. The little fat man asked if he should leave an address for him. ?”

Pei Sanniang didn't expect her son to mention this matter. She was flustered for a while, tapped the bowl with her chopsticks and said, "These things have nothing to do with you, hurry up and eat!"

Aunt Mu saw it and sighed secretly in her heart.

Before the next watch, Li Ye climbed up the city wall and left.

Aunt Mu pushed Pei Sanniang's room away and saw her sitting in front of the table with her chin in her hands, looking at the oil lamp intently.

"Sanniang, why are you still up so late?"

Pei Sanniang sighed, "Madam, I can't sleep!"

Aunt Mu walked to the table, sat down, and asked, "Have you seen him today?"

Pei Sanniang nodded, "He wanted to talk about Ah Ye, so I gave him a chance."

"How did he say?"

"He said his father agreed to Aye's naturalization."

"This is a good thing! At least it is a good thing for Aye. He has an official household registration with the government."

Because Li Ye was an illegitimate child, he is still a gangster. Pei Sanniang's household registration is still in Zhangye, and her house is named after Aunt Mu.

In Chang'an County, there is no information about Pei Sanniang and her son at all.

This is something that Pei Sanniang has always been worried about. If he is not registered as a good man, once he is found to be a gangster by the government, he will be classified as a slave and not an official slave.

There were a large number of official slaves in the Tang Dynasty, most of whom were prisoners of war, and some were black households without household registration.

Pei Sanniang sighed, "I know this is a good thing, and I am just angry. In fact, I also hope that Ye'er can recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. I gave him the surname Li and have been waiting for this day, but... Ye'er returns to the clan, and his Who is the mother? I don’t want him to recognize that bitch as his mother, but I don’t want to be a concubine, so it’s very difficult.”

Aunt Mu smiled slightly and said, "Do you still remember your little brother Pei Jun? Think about who his mother is?"

Pei Sanniang suddenly remembered that her youngest brother Pei Jun was in exactly the same situation as Ye'er. Pei Jun's mother was a singer, but her own mother refused to let her in. She had been living outside with no status, but Pei Jun But he is a child of the Pei family, but he didn't mention who his mother was?

Aunt Mu smiled and said: "You can make a condition to the Li family. If you don't come in, Ye'er will be your son. Generally speaking, this kind of big family only cares about the father's line and doesn't care much about the mother's line!"

"Then how should I tell Ye'er that his father is still here?"

"He has actually known it since he was a child. Didn't you catch his hint when eating?"

Pei Sanniang lowered her head feebly, touched her forehead to the table and said, "Madam, I'm so upset."

Aunt Mu advised: "It doesn't matter if we feel aggrieved, but we have to think about Ye'er's future. Li Dai is right, Ye'er is a genius, he can't be buried by us like this."

All mothers would sacrifice their own interests for the sake of their children. Although Pei Sanniang had been wronged for fourteen years, she still decided to let her son return to the Li family for the sake of her son's future.

"Okay! I agreed, but what should I say to Ye'er?"

Aunt Mu hesitated for a moment, then cautiously tried: "If you don't object, I can tell Ah Ye about this for you!"

Pei Sanniang sighed helplessly, "Just tell him! He will know sooner or later anyway."

Pei Sanniang is very strong-willed and does not want to be a concubine, but as a mother, she still hopes that the Li family will recognize her son. She does not want her son to always bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child.

That's why she never changed her son's surname or name.
