Qingfeng Garden is located in the northwest of Guogong Mansion, with a quiet and elegant environment.

As Pei Yue walked along the way, he saw a pink wall outside the courtyard in front of him, and the courtyard was covered with many green bamboos. After entering the hospital, there was a winding verandah, which connected to the main house from the left and right. The atrium area was quite large, and green bamboos were planted in the courtyard. Looking up I saw that the poles were green and green, with a path made of gravel in the middle. There was clear water flowing at the base of the walls on both sides. The running water that passed through the house meandered along the wall and spiraled out from under the bamboo.

"Third brother!" Pei Ning, who had already received the maid's report, stood in the corridor with a look of joy on his face.

Pei Yue walked up to her along the gravel path, bowed and said, "Please greet me, eldest sister."

Pei Ning stepped forward and took his arm, saying angrily: "You, what kind of gift do you want from your family?"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "Sister, I haven't seen you for two days, why have you lost weight?"

Pei Ning's eyes were filled with smiles: "That's nonsense. You've lost weight somewhere. Come inside and sit down."

The two of them entered the room. Pei Ning shouted to the maid to bring tea, and ordered people to bring various snacks and dried fruits. He pulled Pei Yue to sit down at the table, placed all the food in front of him, and said with pity: " Third brother, eat more."

Pei Yue rubbed his belly and said with a grimace: "If I had known there were so many delicious things here, sister, I wouldn't have had breakfast."

Pei Ning was amused by his strange appearance and laughed out loud. Her face turned red, and she sat down next to him and said, "Why didn't I see it before? You are quite capable of causing mischief."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "With my sister, there is no need to pretend."

Liangyan served tea to the two of them, stood aside and said: "Third Young Master, the young lady treats you no better than the eldest young master and the second young master. The former is at the old lady's place, and the young lady..."

Peining glared at her and said, "What are you talking about? The birds on the porch haven't been fed yet? You girl is getting lazy."

Liangyan stuck out his tongue, but glanced at Pei Yue.

Pei Yue naturally knew what she wanted to say. In fact, among the many disputes during this period of time, Pei Ning's coming forward in Ding'an Hall the day before yesterday was the most touching moment for him. From that time on, he felt that he was vaguely aware of Yue has established a connection with the world, rather than simply looking at it from the perspective of a time traveler. The strangeness and fear when he first arrived, the excitement and pride when punishing Aunt Liu, the surprise and anxiety when being framed by Li's backhand, these... Nothing could compare to the moment when Pei Ning showed up at Ding'an Hall with the birthday gift she had prepared, and the shock it brought to his heart.

Parts of the memory become alive instead of just existing as a backup.

For example, in the cold winter a few years ago, he was pinned down in the small courtyard by Aunt Liu, and the biting cold was slapped on his back with the wooden stick. It was the girl in front of him who rushed in and hugged him tightly. Then he dismissed the old woman. Pei Yue had lived in two lifetimes and had met countless people, but he had never seen Pei Ning's eyes in his memory, so kind and warm.

Another example is that in a small courtyard that was dark because there were no candles, he and Taohua were eating leftovers that had already cooled down. Pei Ning ordered someone to bring some hot food.

Recalling the heart-warming moments in those long cold nights, Pei Yue said to Liangyan: "Don't worry, my eldest sister treated me well, and I will never forget it in my life. When my sister has a child in the future, I will definitely treat her best." Give him everything."

"Yeah!" Pei Ning was a little moved, but more out of shyness. She was still a girl who had not left the court, and she had never even seen anyone. How could she think of children?

The kind words over there were not much better. She made a big blush and stamped her feet and said: "The third young master is not a good person!"

Pei Yue chuckled. He felt very relaxed in Qingfeng Garden, unlike others who had to hold on to his clothes all the time. Therefore, he showed a bit of naughtiness, which was in line with his personality at this age.

Peining had to change the subject and said, "Third brother, what are you planning to do in the future?"

"Not ready yet."

Pei Yue answered honestly, thought about it seriously and said, "I'll take a look at it after I go to Zhuangzi. I'm not in a hurry to think about it now. The most important thing is that I want to exercise well, otherwise I won't be able to do anything in the future."

"When you go there, no matter what you want to do, you have to take care of yourself. You left the house in a hurry this time, and I didn't have time to make you another set of clothes, so I have something to give you." Pei Ning smiled,

Then he winked at Liangyan.

The maid reluctantly took out a box from the treasure box behind the screen, placed it on the table and opened it. Pei Yue saw some jewelry and a dozen silver notes.

"Sister, what is this? I..." He guessed the meaning of these things, but Pei Yue didn't want to accept it.

Pei Ning suddenly raised his hand to interrupt him and said softly: "Third brother, my sister has nothing to give you. These jewelry and silver notes were all rewarded by our ancestors during the previous New Year's festivals. You don't have to worry about anything.

I don't need these in my house. I usually have enough jewelry, but I can't wear it all on my head, right? As for the silver, I don't need it. If you don't mind it being too little, just accept it."

Liangyan pouted, obviously disapproving.

Which daughter's family would have too much jewelry? As for silver, it's good to buy something if you don't want to bother the housekeepers, or use it to reward the maids and wives. At least this way they can work more diligently.

Although I sympathize with Pei Yue, the most important person in Liangyan's heart is definitely Pei Ning, and this position will not change no matter when and where.

Pei Yue looked at Pei Ning's gentle face and said seriously: "Sister, I can't take these jewelry and banknotes. It's better if you keep them by your side. It's not that I don't think so, but because I am really rich now.

My ancestor sent Wen Yu to find me just yesterday and gave me so much money!"

He raised both hands as he spoke.

"One hundred taels?" Peining asked.

Pei Yue shook his head violently and whispered: "Five thousand taels!"

Pei Ning and Liangyan looked at each other, then looked at Pei Yue's two palms stretched out and shaking, and laughed loudly at the same time.

Pei Yue asked with a confused look: "What's wrong?"

Liangyan smiled and said: "Third Young Master, how can it be five thousand taels if you hold out two hands?"

Pei Yue looked at his palms, scratched his head, and sighed: "It's all my fault, brother. That's how he compared with me last time, and he led me astray."

Pei Ning raised her arm, tapped his forehead lightly with her slender jade fingers, and said angrily: "I've arranged my brother again, be careful if he beats you, even I won't be able to persuade you."

Pei Yue smiled and covered the box, handed it back to Liangyan, and said to Peining: "Sister, I made a vow before to stay in the Zhuangzi for three years to pray for my ancestors, so I may not be able to do it often.

Come back to see you, please take care of yourself."

In fact, he didn't have anything to worry about. No matter how vicious Mrs. Li was, she would not have any bad thoughts towards Pei Ning. In addition, he was loved by Taijun Pei and was the eldest daughter of Dingguo. As his eldest sister, his life had been very happy.

comfortable.

Peining agreed, remembering something, and there was a bit of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong?" Pei Yue asked.

Pei Ning felt very embarrassed and complained in her heart about her close friend. However, when she thought of her father who acted in unpredictable ways, she felt that there might really be something serious, so she thought carefully and said: "Third brother, someone asked me to help you." I'll give you a letter."

"Ah? What letter?" Pei Yue asked confused.

This is really strange. Someone would write a letter to an ordinary bastard?

More importantly, this letter was entrusted to Pei Ning, which means that the other party is most likely a girl.

Peining said slowly: "I don't know what is written in the letter. Sister Mo'er asked the maid to deliver it yesterday evening and asked me to pass it on to you."

Mo'er?

Why does this name sound familiar?

Seeing his confused look, Pei Ning said, "Her father is Uncle Shen of Silent Cloud."

Only then did Pei Yue suddenly realize that the middle-aged man at the old lady's birthday party had left a very deep impression on him. If Gu Liang, who has a bold temperament, is a ball of fire, then the silent cloud is a thousand-year-old ice, even if the spring breeze faces him Hexu, but Pei Yue didn't want to be associated with someone of this status until he had absolute strength.

The leader of thousands of spies in Daliang, could he be an ordinary person?

He asked with some confusion: "Why did this Miss Shen write to me?"

It was rare for Pei Ning to see him showing such an attitude in front of her, so he joked: "Third brother, do you know how many powerful people in Kyoto want to see her, and how many want to spend a lot of money to get a picture of her?"

"No way? Her father is..." Pei Yue was a little unbelievable. Those powerful children were scared to death of Silent Cloud. Pei Cheng was an example. Under such circumstances, they dared to flirt with his precious daughter?

Peining smiled and said, "It's because sister Mo'er is so outstanding and good-looking that she attracts so much attention."

Pei Yue took the thin envelope, shook his head like a rattle, and retorted: "What I said is wrong."

Pei Ning said in a daze: "What's wrong?"

Pei Yue said with a serious face: "There cannot be a better and more beautiful girl in Kyoto than my sister, absolutely not!"

"Pfft", Liangyan couldn't help laughing, and his cheeks turned red.

Pei Yue glared at her, but the little maid looked at him without any fear.

Pei Ning couldn't help him. She finally put down her hand that wanted to slap him, and said with a smile: "You can't be so naughty outside, otherwise people will say you are disrespectful and you won't be able to get a wife in the future. It's getting late. , you go back."

Pei Yue agreed, stood up and said, "Sister, you have to take care of yourself too."

"Um."

"Sister, I'm leaving."

"Go ahead. If you have some free time, remember to come back and take a look."

"I will."

Pei Yue walked outside, and Pei Ning stood at the door, looking at his back like a mountain stream.

Suddenly, Pei Yue came back to her, opened his hands and gently hugged the girl who was taller than him.
