Chapter 207 Filial Piety
The story about Priest Miao and Aya spread to Xiao Yinchu's ears within a short time.
"Have you had a quarrel?" Xiao Yinchu laughed softly, "It seems that he is confident. Come here, send someone to ask Prince Xiande if he still wants this daughter."
The virtuous prince received the message from Xiao Yinchu, sneered, threw up his sleeves and left.
Xiao Yinchu smiled particularly arrogantly after receiving the reply from Prince Xiande.Being forced to make it public by Prince Xiande made Xiao Yinchu particularly unhappy, and because Prince Xiande suddenly came back from the dead, the army and the places they had occupied and those they had not occupied experienced great emotional fluctuations.
During this period, he had not rested for a long time in order to deal with the problems that arose everywhere. Now that he could deal with the virtuous prince, Xiao Yinchu felt a little bit bad.
It's just fun, things still have to be solved.In fact, Xiao Yinchu can understand the state of Priest Miao. The current toughness is just because he has found his daughter's descendant. The concession in the early stage was not sure whether Peng Qiongyu would raise Gu, or whether he would choose the Central Plains or the Nanyi.
Priest Miao is not as confident as Aya, so he will choose to give in in the early stage, but Aya is no longer the only option, and it is indeed the status quo, so Priest Miao doesn't want to endure it anymore.
Having said that, Xiao Yinchu's choice is actually closely related to him.
After all, Peng Qiongyu is now a very useful general under him. If Peng Qiongyu abandons his business and follows Priest Miao back to Nanyi, his great cause will definitely be affected.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yinchu said: "Send an order and order Peng Qiongyu to come to the house to speak after the year."
That night, New Year's Eve, the snow fell particularly heavily.The heavy white snow was scattered in the sky, as if it appeared to cover up something.
On New Year's Eve that year, Li Mansion had a very warm time.
Peng Qiongyu was thinking about his great-grandmother who had just recognized him. After asking Li Huanqing for his opinion, he invited Priest Miao to his home for dinner. After all, for the Central Plains people, the annual New Year's Eve Spring Festival is an extra special festival.
Priest Miao was very happy to be invited to the Li Mansion. Although she was not here for New Year's Eve, the environment and atmosphere were the most touching. She stayed alone in an unfamiliar land and listened to the sounds of joyful New Year coming from outside. It can make people who are too far away from home feel lonely.
Nowadays, the person who leaves home is surrounded by a lively meal. It seems that everything he has eaten before has some ice residue, but now, what he is eating now is fragrant and hot.They were all ordinary side dishes, but Priest Miao's eyes turned red after eating them.
"Priest Miao, what's wrong with you?" Li Xinran carefully observed Priest Miao's abnormality and asked with concern.
"It's nothing," Priest Miao smiled and silently wiped his tears, "I just haven't experienced this feeling for a long time."
Li Xinran pursed her lips and smiled, and silently gave Priest Miao a piece of pork belly.
There are no secrets in Kyoto, let alone such a small city of Jinzhou.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Peng Qiongyu also knew about the quarrel between Aya and Priest Miao.
After much deliberation, Peng Qiongyu still wanted to visit Priest Miao where she was. After all, in terms of blood relationship, this might be his last relative.
When Peng Qiongyu just walked out of the gate, before he took two steps, the envoy sent by Xiao Yinchu had already arrived at the door of Li Mansion.
Peng Qiongyu didn't want to go there. He was anxious to find Priest Miao and check on her.
But the envoy was looking for him urgently. After thinking about it silently in his mind, he finally decided to go into the palace.
"Tell the eldest lady that I may not come back for dinner tonight." After telling him, Peng Qiongyu got on the carriage sent by the envoy.
"The humble minister Peng Qiongyu pays homage to the emperor's grandson."
"Without courtesy, General Peng will sit down."
Xiao Yinchu supported Peng Qiongyu who was about to kneel down and said with a smile: "General Peng doesn't have to be so cautious. It's not a big deal for me to come to you. It's just that Priest Miao asked me to help find her daughter." Descendants, although I know it’s you, I can’t go beyond you and help you make decisions.”
Peng Qiongyu smiled at Xiao Yinchu: "It's the emperor's and grandson's wishes. I understand."
Xiao Yinchu patted Peng Qiongyu on the shoulder: "Sit down."
When Peng Qiongyu sat down, Xiao Yinchu said: "General Peng, I heard that on New Year's Eve, Priest Miao had already had dinner with you?"
"Yes." Peng Qiongyu responded, "After verification, it was confirmed that I am the descendant of Priest Miao's daughter. I have only one blood relative in this world. On the New Year's Eve reunion day, I invited Priest Miao to reunite with me."
"Oh," Xiao Yinchu nodded and asked curiously, "Now that it has been confirmed that you and her are blood relatives, what are your plans? Stay here, or follow Priest Miao back to Nanyi?"
After Peng Qiongyu thought about it seriously, he shook his head: "I don't know. I have a father and a sister here, but Priest Miao is indeed my blood relative. How to choose, I really haven't thought carefully about it." .”
Xiao Yinchu raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't say anything more. He just smiled and asked, "I heard them say that you went out before you came here?"
"Yes," Peng Qiongyu nodded, "I heard that Princess Aya had a quarrel with Priest Miao, and I wanted to rush to comfort Priest Miao so that she wouldn't be sad."
"Good," Xiao Yinchu nodded with a smile, "It's a good thing to have filial piety. As a man, once you say something, it's hard to chase it back. But General Peng, I asked you to come here this time because I want you to do something for me." For reference, if there is a conflict between commitment and filial piety, I don’t know how to choose.”
"Of course we should take filial piety into consideration. Our government governs the world with filial piety, and filial piety is of course the first priority." Peng Qiongyu said without thinking.
The smile on Xiao Yinchu's lips fell, and he said again: "If so, how should we make a decision between our small family and our country?"
Peng Qiongyu replied without hesitation: "Of course I choose everyone. Without a country, there is no home."
Xiao Yinchu said again: "Then if it is the filial piety of the small family and the commitment of everyone, how should we choose?"
Peng Qiongyu frowned, his thick black eyebrows twisted into caterpillars.
Xiao Yinchu didn't rush, he just sat in his seat leisurely and took a sip of tea.
After a while, Peng Qiongyu shook his head: "This kind of matter is too difficult to make a decision. Your Majesty, I think the person concerned should make a decision based on the circumstances at that time."
Xiao Yinchu put the teacup on the table, tapped the table with his index finger, and finally chuckled: "What the general said makes sense."
As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup and put it in his hand, but did not continue to drink.
Peng Qiongyu heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning, so he resigned, but Xiao Yinchu did not keep him.
By the time Peng Qiongyu went out, the sky was already getting dark. It was really inappropriate to go to Priest Miao's place at this time. Peng Qiongyu could only shake his head and returned to the Li Mansion.
