Pei Rong and Li did not live in Dingding Hall, but in an independent courtyard to the east of Dingding Hall.

At midnight, candlelight was still lit in the outer study room.

Pei Rong sat on the Grand Master's chair, with his hands folded in his sleeves, his face a little irritable, and he looked at the door from time to time. The servants had already been driven away by him, and the flickering candlelight on the table at this moment seemed a bit seeping.

A black shadow quietly approached the study, and scanned the courtyard under the night vigilantly. After making sure that no one was following him, he floated in. When he came to Pei Rong, the black shadow raised his hands and saluted, saying: "Uncle, I will never lead this way.

No one discovered it."

Pei Rong said impatiently: "Why have you been gone for so long?"

The black shadow replied calmly: "Uncle, after all, this is the middle of the capital. Crows are everywhere in Taishitai Pavilion, so we have to be careful."

Pei Rong snorted, looked at him sideways and asked, "Is everything settled?"

The black shadow shook his head slightly.

Pei Rong said angrily: "What do you mean?"

The black shadow said softly: "What that means is that the uncle wants too many things, which is beyond what they can bear."

Pei Rong's face was full of dissatisfaction, with a hint of disdain, and he said coldly: "These pretentious trash! I guess the reasons they mentioned last time are not counted. At least they concealed the most important reason, otherwise they would treat a small matter so solemnly.

Wouldn’t this treatment make people laugh out loud? You’ve had a lot of contact with them, tell me, what on earth do they want to do?”

A flash of surprise flashed in the black shadow's eyes, and he quickly covered it up, shaking his head and saying: "The general is so stupid that I can't guess it, but they can't reach into Kyoto, and they are causing trouble outside, so it shouldn't matter."

Pei Rong said proudly: "That's natural. Could I be so stupid as to lead a wolf into the house? Just go and tell them that all the things I want must be delivered without any moisture, otherwise I will make it difficult for them to move. In addition,

You ask them to do one more thing for me. Since these people are going to cause some trouble, they can just level the village in the east of the city."

As the first-class confidant around him, Heiying knew the affairs of Uncle Dingyuan in great detail, but he still hesitated and said: "Uncle, the third young master is also here..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Rong stopped him with his cold eyes, and then gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you don't kill him, it's best to break both of his legs. This little beast has his mother's support, and even I can't help him."

Don’t take it seriously.”

The black shadow could only nod and said: "I will understand."

Pei Rong warned again: "Don't let the other side know that this is my idea. How to lead their target to that Zhuangzi is up to you."

"Follow your orders! Don't worry, uncle, the general will definitely deal with it properly."

"Okay, go ahead. If you don't have my secret order recently, don't come here. I always feel that there is something sinister going on here, so you should be more careful."

"yes!"

After the black shadow left, Pei Rong first scolded the little beast a few times, and then thought of the concubine he had just taken in not long ago, that delicate beauty who was only sixteen years old. His heart suddenly warmed up, and he put away those annoying things.

When I reached the sky, I walked towards the backyard with brisk steps.

…

The architectural pattern of Kyoto has always been said to be rich in the east and rich in the west. Most of the wealthy people live in the west city, such as Taiping Bank, Qibao Pavilion, Liyuan and other wealthy places. In the sixteen squares of the east city, most of the important officials or ministers of the court live there.

You can see the cars and sedans of the rich and powerful families on any street.

Yongrenfang is one of the sixteen lanes in Dongcheng. Compared with Zhuquefang, where Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is located, and Xingyefang, where Guangping Marquis’ Mansion is located, it is much less famous. However, in recent years, it has gradually become more famous, just because of the There is a Shen Mansion.

The mansion of Shen Yun in Taishitai Pavilion.

Just hearing the words Taishitai Pavilion is enough to scare away the prying eyes of most people. That blue-grey building should be the most feared place for all officials in Daliang besides the imperial city.

In fact, Shen's Mansion is not as scary as the world thinks, nor is it a dragon's pond and a tiger's den full of crows and spies. This large house with five front and rear entrances was a gift from the emperor. It was originally decorated with extremely rich and gorgeous decorations, but after Shen Moyun and his family moved in, , ordered people to dismantle many flashy furnishings, and the emperor had nothing to do about it.

The Shen family has a simple population. Apart from Momo Yun and his wife and their daughter Shen Danmo, only Momo Yun's brother and his family of four live in the house. Neither brother has ever taken a concubine, so there is no jealousy in the back house, while the younger generations do. Being close and harmonious makes the atmosphere in the home very harmonious.

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, a simple sedan stopped at the door of Shen's mansion.

After Silent Cloud came out of the sedan, he said to the young man standing upright next to him: "You have a rest today. Why don't you go for a walk in the city? You don't have to guard me all the time."

The young man held the sword in his left hand, his brows naturally indifferent, he shook his head and said: "Sir, I am responsible for your safety."

Silent Cloud smiled helplessly and said, "That's fine, I'll thank you for the hard work."

The young man bowed slightly.

After the two entered the house, the young man stopped in the front yard, then turned and walked to the right wing, where there was a room specially prepared for him.

Silent Cloud went straight to the backyard.

When he arrived near the study, he slowed down and saw a thin figure sitting in front of the window on the corridor.

This is a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing an ancient smoke-patterned blue sky gown, a brocade cloak, a bun with a red gold plaque on her head, and no flowers on her waist. A Yang Fei-colored embroidered cotton skirt is tied underneath.

She didn't seem to notice the appearance of Silent Cloud. Her clear and smart eyes were staring at a piece of paper in her hand, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed.

"Mo'er." Silent Cloud called as he walked into the study.

The girl in front of the window was his daughter Shen Danmo. After hearing her father's voice, she stood up and saluted: "Daddy."

She glanced at the early morning sky outside the window and asked with concern: "Daddy, did you stay up all night again?"

Silent Cloud sat down and said with a smile: "There is something urgent to deal with in the pavilion. It doesn't matter. I'll just go back to sleep later."

He looked at the letter Shen Danmo held in his hand and said with a smile, "What did Pei Yue say in his reply to you?"

Hearing this, Shen Danmo showed some dissatisfaction, walked to sit down next to Silent Cloud, and said softly: "Dad, that letter was clearly written by you, but you still wanted to put your daughter's name on it. I'm afraid this Mr. Pei is... He regards his daughter as a pedantic and false Taoist."

Then he handed the piece of paper to Shen Moyun, but it was still the letter written in dark ink, except that at the bottom there were three words written in a clumsy pen: I can't understand.

That's all, but there are four words before these three words. Although a horizontal bar has been drawn to invalidate it, the handwriting can still be easily recognized. What Pei Yue wrote is: inexplicable.

Even the emperor said that the Silent Cloud City Mansion was as deep as the sea, and he couldn't help laughing at this moment.

Shen Danmo also smiled helplessly and said: "Dad, you are still smiling so happily."

Silent Cloud said: "Then how do you plan to reply to the letter?"

Shen Danmo said without thinking: "My daughter just wants to advise Mr. Pei to practice calligraphy. If he wants to be an official in the future, it will be difficult for him to speak with this handwriting."

Silent Cloud sighed: "Mo'er, you don't know what Brother Yue has experienced. Unlike Brother Yun, he has never been liked by his biological father and aunt, so he lives a hard life in the house, not to mention practicing calligraphy, just to have enough food. He hasn't had a few meals. This child is very pitiful. You must not have any contempt for him."

Shen Danmo blinked and said playfully: "Dad, when has my daughter ever despised him? What's more, my daughter knows about his situation and changes these days, and it was you who sent the news about him. Daddy is like this If you do it, and say this, is it because you want to arrange a marriage for your daughter in advance? Although my family does not pay attention to the identity and power of the son, but seeing how Mr. Pei behaves with courage and decisiveness, father will not be afraid that his daughter will follow him all day long in the future. Is he quarreling?"

Silent Cloud looked at her with a smile, his face full of love, but he pretended to be angry: "Nonsense, how old are you, why are you so eager to talk about marriage? What's more, is this kind of thing a daughter of yours allowed to say? "

Shen Danmo said a little aggrievedly: "Since childhood, my father has always taught his daughter to speak from her heart, but now he blames her for being rude."

Silent Cloud smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you'd better save these skills to coax your mother. As a father, you are not afraid of this now."

He paused for a moment and then said: "Brother Yue, this kid, I didn't pay attention to before, but now it seems that he is really extraordinary. I let you read his news, and I hope you can learn something from him. After all, compared with him, You have never experienced any setbacks, and you are smarter than other children of the same age. It is inevitable that you will experience failure, and it will be difficult for you to truly understand the ability to make decisions in the face of adversity."

Shen Danmo nodded and said, "Don't worry, dad, my daughter will continue to communicate with him."

Silent Cloud took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeves, put them on the desk, and said slowly: "These are the daily records of several important mansions in the capital in recent days. Tell me later what you see from them."

"Yes, daddy."

"I'm going to see your mother for my father's sake. There's no need to send her away."

After he left, Shen Danmo fell into deep thought.

The information from Taishitai Pavilion was placed casually on the table. Her eyes still stayed on the letter paper sent back by Pei Yue. Looking at the four words with a horizontal line across it, the girl couldn't help but wrinkle the tip of her nose slightly.
