Pei Yun probably didn't notice Pei Yue coming in, and of course even if he saw him, he wouldn't have any reaction.

This young man who was born in the same year as Pei Yue prides himself on being a good scholar in Daliang, and he is truly an anomaly among the brave and aggressive generals.

On weekdays, in addition to the necessary rules of dawn and dusk, Pei Yun never goes out or socializes. There are four rooms in his courtyard dedicated to collecting books, which is why there is no library in the house.

, it is true that Pei Rong has great face. If the dignified Dingguo Palace becomes a scholarly family, he will be laughed to death by other nobles.

Although it doesn't make sense, this was the prevailing atmosphere at that time. The senior officials in the Imperial Academy despised the reckless men who wielded swords and guns, while the big bosses in the military looked down upon the scholars who were incapable of tying a chicken.

The opposition between civil and military forces has existed since ancient times, but it is especially true in Daliang, but I don’t know the reason for it.

Pei Yue took a closer look, and the title of the book in Pei Yun's hand was revealed, which was called "Pictures of Dead Woods and Strange Rocks".

Hey, you are a literary boy. Just look at the title and you will know that it is not a popular science book like "The Plum in the Golden Vase".

Pei Yun was immersed in the world of the book and seemed to have no intention of making polite greetings. Naturally, Pei Yue was happy to be quiet.

He has a character that can endure loneliness.

The concierge is not big, and it is only used to entertain guests who do not have enough status. When real dignitaries come to visit the Duke's mansion, they will naturally send greeting cards in advance, and the mansion will also make arrangements. Those guests who come without making an appointment are either

A reckless and bad guest, or a well-to-do person who doesn't need to avoid suspicion.

Pei Yue chose to sit opposite Pei Yun. After checking that it was still early, he closed his eyes to rest.

There are also two stewards in the front yard in the gatehouse. One is Li Rong and the other is Qin Feng. They are both family servants who have lived in the Duke's mansion for generations.

The two people naturally stood aside. Although they did not talk, they understood each other's thoughts as soon as their eyes met.

This third young master has such a good manner!

The second young master, as always, loves books as much as his life. It is said that he has to bring books with him when he goes out, otherwise he will not be able to pull them out. As the stewards of the front yard, Li Rong and Qin Feng are in charge of a lot of things, a group of people, and news channels.

He is very well-informed and knows the rumors about Pei Yun very well, so it is not surprising to see him reading like crazy at this moment.

But both of them felt a little confused about Pei Yue's performance.

The so-called third young master, in fact, few people in charge of these affairs paid much attention to him in the past. In addition, Pei Yue has always been introverted and timid, and he has nothing outstanding, so he is becoming more and more ignored. However, it seems now that this

The third young master sat upright, his slightly thin face showing a calmness far beyond his age.

Li Rong and others still didn't believe what happened in Mingyue Pavilion when they heard about it before. They always felt that the cowardly young man couldn't do such a face-breaking thing. It was probably because Taijun Pei got wind of it somewhere and took the initiative to deal with Grandma Liu.

.

But now when they met in person, Li Rong and Qin Feng actually believed that it was the third young master who took the initiative to cause trouble in Mingyue Pavilion that day.

It is a joke to say that these stewards are afraid of Pei Yue now. He is just a bastard struggling to survive, and his status is not as good as those of these respectable domestic servants.

It’s just that...just like a person who is full of evil suddenly realizes that doing a few good deeds will be shocking, a little person like Pei Yue, with his back and head lowered and not daring to look at people, suddenly has

The courage to lift the table will naturally make people look at you.

Pei Cheng arrived at the concierge only after the second quarter of the hour. At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside.

As the eldest son of the Duke's family and the confirmed successor, Pei Cheng's status is naturally different. Li Rong and Qin Feng quickly stepped forward and bowed, saying respectfully: "Young Master."

"Um."

Pei Cheng responded perfunctorily, with great style.

He first walked up to Pei Yun, reached out and snatched the book away. He only glanced at it and threw it back. He shook his head and said, "Boy, if you continue like this, I will be laughed at!"

An expression of hatred for the iron that cannot be transformed into steel.

Pei Yun frowned slightly and said, "Brother, when others laugh at you, can't you fight back?"

Pei Cheng said angrily: "Aren't you a scholar? Are you also following our martial arts style?"

Pei Yun was a little dissatisfied and muttered: "The so-called gentleman should repay kindness with kindness and repay grievance with straightness."

Pei Cheng rolled his eyes, walked to the main seat, sat down, waved, and the boy standing next to him cleverly poured tea and brought it over.

He took a sip of hot tea, yawned and said: "People laugh at me as the big brother who can't control you. I let you study at home, but you don't go with us to horse racing and archery in the suburbs. Your name is not in the Kyoto Martial Arts Hall."

, saying that this is a shame for the Duke of Dingguo. Tell me, is what they say true? You don’t reflect on it, and you still talk to me about nonsense. What kind of pig brain is this? Let me ask you, reading is useless.

?”

Pei Yun was not angry and just asked: "Brother, I remember you don't seem to eat carrots?"

Pei Cheng couldn't keep up with his train of thought and looked over with an unkind expression.

Pei Yun was not afraid of him and continued to ask: "I have never forced my eldest brother to eat carrots, so why does my eldest brother care about my studies? Our ways are different, so why force ourselves to converge?"

Although Pei Cheng is nearly four years older than Pei Yun, in terms of eloquence, even a hundred of him combined would not be Pei Yun's opponent.

When the two men started arguing, the stewards in the concierge kept a close eye on them and did not dare to express their anger.

After coming in from Peicheng, Pei Yue opened his eyes. At this time, listening to the two people arguing, his face was as usual, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

Pei Cheng is nothing more than that. As he said, he is a standard martial artist. He will ignore the rising blood and dare to say anything. After the great general, he will occupy an empty position in the army, just like his father.

Pei Rong.

On the contrary, Pei Yun, who is only more than two months older than Pei Yun, is a bit extraordinary.

At the age of thirteen, he can actually say "the way is different". You must know that he is also the legitimate son. If anything happens to Pei Cheng, the title of Duke Dingguo will be his. But he chose the path of studying.

, even if it means that he has blocked the possibility of seizing the title, because neither the Tian family nor the military can accept a scholar who does not practice martial arts to become the helmsman of the Duke Dingguo.

I just don’t know who taught him this understanding?

Pei Rong? A warrior who hangs out in wine, sex, and wealth.

Ms. Li? A narrow-minded woman with a paranoid personality.

It is possible for Pei Taijun. In Pei Yue's opinion, this old lady is still quite wise.

Anyway, Pei Yue doesn't believe that the nominal second brother is a born monster. At the age of thirteen, he would never expect to be so understanding and thorough. As for himself, although he is only thirteen years old in body, he is actually mentally older.

The third year has passed.

Pei Cheng couldn't talk to Pei Yun, and he didn't dare to take action. He could only vent his anger elsewhere. He glanced sideways at Pei Yue and scolded: "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll break your legs."

Li Rong and others lowered their heads, not because they were worried about Pei Yue, but because they were worried about becoming the target of the eldest young master to vent his anger.

As for Pei Yun, seeing that Pei Cheng no longer disturbed him, he held the book and continued reading.

Pei Yue looked at Pei Cheng's sinister expression and opened his mouth slightly: "Haha."

The laughter was very light, but the hall was very quiet, so it was very harsh in Pei Cheng's ears.

He said in a cold tone: "Why are you laughing?"

Pei Yun suddenly raised his head and glanced at Pei Yue in surprise, feeling that this third brother looked both familiar and strange today.

What is familiar is that the person sitting opposite is still the thin young man.

What's strange is that he has changed so much compared to before.

Pei Yue glanced at their faces and said calmly: "I laughed at you for bragging. What day is today? If you dare to break my legs today, then I will really obey you."
