Chapter 162 Is He My Father?
Cui Shun'er hurriedly asked about his daughter-in-law's situation. Ma Qiufen's eyes turned red suddenly, and he said sourly: "The boss has been away for four or five months, and he promised to come back early for the New Year, but now it's spring, and he didn't even write a letter." They were never sent back.”

Indeed, since Peizheng and Li Yu went to the capital to do business together years ago, there has been no news. Although Li Yu and Peizheng have been in the capital safely from the Li family, Ma Qiufen and her husband have been separated for a long time. Almost miss you.

Ma Qiufen couldn't help crying, and his complaining tone was full of longing for her husband: "Could it be that the boss met a beautiful daughter from a rich family in the city, and planned to abandon his wife and children! It's thousands of miles away from the capital, even if he I'm busy with business, but can it be difficult to find time to write a letter and come back?"

Ma Qiu complained with a low score, and finally turned into a hoarse accusation.

In fact, Cui Shun'er and others were worried about Pei Zheng's situation in the capital, but they could only try not to think of the bad.

When Pei An went to the army to fight, He Hua also endured loneliness and longing, and watched over the child day and night. Therefore, she felt the same for the horse autumn equinox at this moment, and then reached out and patted her sister-in-law on the shoulder.

He Hua comforted her, "This is not the first time for elder brother to travel far away to do business. After all, the capital is an imperial city. Perhaps something happened to elder brother and he had to delay. We should trust elder brother, so sister-in-law, please don't be suspicious and misunderstand." Brother."

Hearing this, Ma Qiufen's mood improved a little, but he still replied sullenly: "As long as I don't see the boss for a day, I can't get rid of my doubts. I hope he can come back as soon as possible, even Letters don't work for me either."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became gloomy, and even when the children thought of their uncle who hadn't returned for a long time, the big chicken drumsticks on their mouths didn't taste good anymore.

When everyone was sighing, the servant of the Li family suddenly shouted at the gate: "Aunt Cui, your eldest son is back!"

As soon as they heard the news of Pei Zheng's return, the family had no intention of having dinner again, and Ma Qiufen was even more hopeful. Everyone rushed out of the house with anticipation and excitement on their faces.

When Ma Qiufen arrived at the door, the carriage led by Pei Zheng arrived. The man was tall, majestic and heroic. He waved his servants to unload the goods in the carriage.

Seeing her husband safe and healthy in person, Ma Qiufen smiled through tears, letting go of his hanging heart.

With regret in his eyes, Pei Zheng said affectionately to Ma Qiufen: "I'm late, and I kept you waiting for a long time."

Everyone is happy to be reunited with the family. Ma Qiufen happily shook his head: "As long as you come back safe and sound, my waiting is meaningful. Well, you have worked hard all the way back, so hurry up and sit in the house."

Brother Mai called "Father" noisily, and Pei Zheng hugged Xiao Jiu and asked with a smile, "Are you listening to your mother? How is your reading?"

During the few months when Pei Zheng was away, the brothers Mai had really undergone earth-shaking changes. At this moment, they said obediently and sensiblely: "We can listen to our mother's words and study hard. In the future, we will be like our father and make a difference. Big business!"

Although the two brothers are still children, they know how hard it is for their father to go out to do business, and they are especially great. They secretly admire their father and want to help their family grow their business by studying. This is also the guidance Pei Quan gave them not long ago.

The whole family embraced Pei Zheng and entered the house. Ma Qiufen burst into laughter, and hurried to the kitchen to cook some fresh and hot dishes for her husband.

Pei Zheng sat in the living room, and finally returned to the home he missed day and night. He also felt very cordial and stable. He first talked to Cui Shun'er, and then took out the gifts he bought for the women's children.

"You don't even look at the day, and you don't reply to letters for four or five months after you go, but we are very worried." Cui Shun'er had to ramble about this matter.

Pei Zheng was so ashamed to talk about the reason, it turned out that as He Hua had guessed, he and Li Yu encountered difficult troubles after they went to the capital, and it took a lot of time to solve the troubles, including the days of delays on the road. , So four or five months are fleeting, because he is so busy with business, he has time to rest every day, so he just neglected to write a letter to his family.

Now that the eldest son came back safely, Cui Shun'er couldn't blame her anymore, but several children surrounded Pei Zheng and asked noisily, "Uncle, where is the capital? How long will we have to walk to get to the capital? I heard that the emperor lives there." , is a city that never sleeps and sings every night, so will there be many delicacies from mountains and seas that we have never tasted?"

Pei Zhengqing smiled, and patiently answered the children's novel questions. The family enjoyed themselves, and this cold house was full of warmth and warmth.

At night, the evening breeze is warm and calm, and the pear and peach blossoms in the garden seem to be in full bloom, full of spring.

Sitting in the room, Cui Shun'er also wondered if Pei Zheng met his father Pei Xian during his trip to the capital. Although she had the urge to ask Pei Zheng about that man, she was overwhelmed by wit and didn't ask the question.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door, and Pei Zheng asked, "Mother, I see that the light in your room is still on, are you still asleep?"

Cui Shun'er moved away the stool in front of the dressing table, walked towards the door and opened it, and asked doubtfully, "It's so late, shouldn't boss go to bed earlier?"

Pei Zheng pursed his lips and replied: "Mother, can you let me go in and sit down, I have something to talk to you about."

Cui Shun'er was puzzled, so she let her son into the house and poured him a cup of tea.

Pei Zheng stared at his mother, and narrated some things that happened in the capital, for example, he met Pei Xian, the head of the Imperial College.

Cui Shun'er's chest twitched. The capital is only that big. It's not surprising that Pei Zheng met Pei Xian by chance. She just wondered why the boss suddenly told her about Pei Xian. Could it be that he found some clues?
"Master Guozijian is easy-going and easy to talk to, but he is very concerned about my mother's condition. Most of the questions I ask are about my mother. I follow my mother's advice and dare not have too much contact with that adult."

When Pei Zheng said this, his face was full of confusion, and he raised his eyes and asked sincerely: "Mother, why does that adult look exactly the same as my father, and even have the same name? Is this really a coincidence? But how can there be such a person in the world? Unbelievable coincidence? I listened carefully, and the adult's voice is exactly the same as my father's!"

"Before mother said that father died on the way to Beijing for the exam, but we haven't seen father's body, how can we conclude that father is really dead? I am full of doubts, and I beg mother to tell me the truth, then Is this lord my father!"
