"Tai Jian of Pei Sangongzi of Dingguo Duke Mansion: I have admired Hongcai for a long time, and now I take the liberty to write a letter to ask for advice."

"...The crow has the meaning of feeding back, and the sheep has the kindness of kneeling to breast. Everyone knows this truth. Your pure filial heart has never changed after going through hardships. You have been determined through the ups and downs, and I worship you. However, I also heard it, and I will follow it.

It is the great conduct of a man to follow the Tao but not to obey the king, to follow righteousness but not to the father. Therefore, if a son obeys the father's orders, is he filial? If a minister obeys the emperor's orders, is he chaste?"

In the drizzle, three carriages and a precious horse drove away from the Dingguo Palace under the escort of a team of servants.

In the carriage compartment in the middle, Taohua tightly hugged the wooden box that Wen Yu had sent before, as if she was afraid that some bad guys would suddenly come out and snatch it away, with a nervous look on her face.

Normally, Pei Yue would definitely tease her a few words, but now he was holding the piece of paper and his brows were so wrinkled that they were almost squeezed together.

This was the letter written by the girl from the Shen family that Pei Ning had handed over to him before.

That night he opened it and took a look at it. He only saw the beginning and was not interested. It was not until he heard from his servant that it would take two hours to go to the village in the east of the city that he remembered the letter and read it with all his strength.

Both paper and ink are of ordinary quality, even a layman like Pei Yue can see it at a glance.

If you look closely at the words on this letter, you will see that the calligraphy style is elegant and ethereal, self-sufficient in style, the writing style is strong and graceful, and it is plain and simple.

Pei Yue is not good at calligraphy, and considers himself to be a beginner, but it can be seen that this girl from the Shen family is good at calligraphy. No wonder Pei Ning said that someone in Kyoto paid a lot of money to ask for her calligraphy, although there are many

He wanted to please someone from the side of Silent Cloud, but it also showed that this girl did have some real abilities. He suddenly remembered that Pei Ning called her sister and Pei Yun called her sister, so she was probably about fourteen years old.

In my previous life, when I was fourteen years old, I was still climbing trees to pick out birds, while other people's children were already immersed in Dharma and quite accomplished. The contrast was too strong.

It's just that it's one thing for you to have achieved something. What does it mean to come here to teach me a lesson out of nowhere?

At least Pei Yue can understand this letter.

Putting aside those polite words, the Shen girl mainly talked about one thing in this letter. She deeply sympathized with Pei Yue's experience, but she disagreed with his insistence that abuse only related to domestic slaves.

.If a domestic slave is said to be wanton, it may be accidental, but if a servant dares to do this for a long time, there must be the master's tacit approval or even instigation behind it. Then the girl asked Pei Yue, if you are really a filial person,

Why don't you dare to correct the mistakes of your elders and advise them, but instead play along and just put the blame on the servants?

Is this really filial?

In the future, when you serve as an official and do not dare to point out the faults of your superiors or even your superiors, is this loyalty?

In this regard, Pei Yue really wanted to grab her by the collar and ask, "Is it none of your business to blow a pool of spring water?"

It is said that when he received this letter from Pei Ning, Pei Yue had some thoughts in his heart.

When he was a boy in his previous life, what he envied most were classmates who could receive love letters, and he also yearned for the behavior of boys and girls passing small notes to each other in class. Although he knew that the possibility of a girl from the Shen family writing a love letter to him was almost zero,

But it’s okay to chat about daily life, talk about life, and exchange artistic experiences. Being a pen pal from the Daliang era is also a beautiful thing.

As a result, there were no gentle words, only questions and admonitions hidden in euphemistic tones.

Is this the artistic girl from Daliang?

Pei Yue wanted to hit her on the head.

This girl has not considered his situation at all. She only cares about the words morality, gentleman, loyalty and filial piety. Therefore, even though Pei Ning said that she is as beautiful as a fairy and has excellent character, Pei Yue is not interested at all, let alone wants to What is the connection with it.

He wanted to ask Shen Moyun face to face, how could you, as the emperor's most valued and trusted capable minister, just throw the information about the palace of Zhongxun to your daughter? Is it appropriate to use such a public weapon for private use so blatantly?

In short, this letter, which could have produced some beautiful stories, made Pei Yue feel very bad.

Naturally, I also have a very bad impression of the girl who finally signed "Shen Dan Mo Handwriting".

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Taohua shrank to the corner of the carriage at some point, still holding the wooden box in her arms. She looked at Pei Yue, who was gritting his teeth and looking ferocious, feeling a little scared.

Pei Yue took two deep breaths, exhaled the turbid air in his chest, then raised his hand to wipe his face, and asked with a smile: "Taohua, am I a bad person?"

Taohua moved over carefully, put her hand on Pei Yue's forehead, and asked doubtfully: "The young master didn't catch a cold, why did he start talking nonsense?"

Pei Yue asked curiously: "Is this nonsense?"

Taohua nodded seriously and said: "Of course it's nonsense. If the young master is a bad person, then there will be no good people in the world. Don't you remember? When I couldn't eat enough, you gave me the only piece of meat in the bowl. Eat. When Aunt Liu wanted to beat me, it was you who held me and took the beating for me. When the other maids in the house laughed at me, it was you who told me stories at night to coax me to sleep. Even if you were beaten severely by Aunt Liu. The young master will also smile at me! There are many, many more. If such a young master is a bad person, then I would rather the young master be worse than those people, so that no one can bully us..."

Pei Yue was stunned. Looking into Peach Blossom's sparkling eyes, the distracting thoughts and depression in his heart suddenly disappeared, leaving only tranquility and calmness.

He smiled and rubbed Taohua's somewhat yellowed hair, and promised: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully us again in the future."

"Yeah!" Taohua nodded vigorously.

In the first carriage, a middle-aged man was concentrating with his eyes closed. When he heard the conversation between the young master and servant in the carriage behind, the corners of his mouth curved in a kind way.

This person is Mr. Xi who was specially invited by Pei Taijun.

He rarely had great ambitions, and suffered great changes in his family, so that he had no skills but no place to put them to use. Later, he was invited by Pei Zhen to come to his side, and he praised the civil and military affairs. The strategy of running thousands of miles to seize the tiger city of Wu State came from this person. After Pei Zhen passed away, the bosses of the Military Academy wanted to ask him to continue his work, but Mr. Xi seemed to have given up all his ambitions and retired to the wilderness. This time, if Taijun Pei had not personally invited him, he would not have appeared on this carriage. .

When he left the house, he met Pei Yue once and just said hello. But what was interesting was that he found a hint of defensiveness in Pei Yue's eyes. Thinking of Pei Taijun's repeated warnings, he had some understanding of the young man. interest.

However, that's all.

Pei Yue did not guess what Mr. Xi was thinking. After appeasing Taohua, he took advantage of the rain to weaken and opened the curtain to look at Daliang Kyoto.

This city was built hundreds of years ago and was the capital of the former Wei Dynasty. Later, Daliang established its capital here. This is why both the government and the public regard this dynasty as the orthodoxy of the world.

This city has not been damaged by war for hundreds of years and has been repaired and expanded many times. It is a famous majestic city in the world.

In Kyoto under the rain, the sky is empty, there are many buildings, and there are only a few people on the streets, like a huge beast that is temporarily sleeping.

When the carriage left the capital and headed east, the scenery suddenly opened up.

From a distance, you can see the mountains and rivers stretching, mist and rain falling on the river, and occasionally knights galloping on the official road, causing splashes of mud and water.

After an unknown amount of time, when the peach blossoms around him were already drowsy, Pei Yue saw a residential area in front of him, surrounded by a large area of ​​neat fertile fields, with rice growing neatly, and the vitality blowing towards his face.
