At the beginning of the day, the sun was still blazing.

Pei Yue sent the Gu family brothers and sisters outside the house and said with a smile: "I apologize for the poor reception today."

Gu Zhen shook her head and said, "Brother Pei, there's no need to be polite. It's us who took the liberty of visiting and made us a bad guest."

Having had the experience of having lunch together, Pei Yue was much more comfortable and calm in front of her. Although it was not close to each other, it was at least much better than the awkwardness before. Looking at the girl's delicate and lively eyes, he also let go of his guard and

Cautiously, he said straightforwardly: "What are you talking about? Sister Gu is an honored guest that no one else can invite. If you have some free time some other time, please come back to the village to relax. Of course, it would be better if someone else could come with you.

.”

When he said this, his eyes glanced at Gu Fan beside him.

Gu Fan didn't have the slightest sense of being disliked. He patted Pei Yue on the shoulder and said, "Where did you find the cook? Her skills are really good, and the ingredients are all made by you, the farmers, right? Compared with Duzhongmai

There are a lot of fresh vegetables. Brother Yue, please pack up a cart of fresh vegetables tomorrow and have them delivered to my house."

Hearing this, Gu Zhen said with some embarrassment: "Fourth brother, please don't trouble Brother Pei so much."

Pei Yue explained with a smile: "Sister Gu, Brother Shi, it's good to be like this. At least you don't see me outside. But the weather is hot now. I'm afraid it won't be able to be stored for a long time if I send a car there. Why don't I have someone come every seven days?"

Sending fresh vegetables, fruits and vegetables picked from the farm to my house is a sign of my filial piety towards my uncle and auntie."

Gu Zhen felt a little happy, but still declined: "How can this make it too troublesome for Brother Pei?"

Pei Yue smiled and said, "It's not troublesome. Anyway, Brother Shi, just remember to give some reward to the person who delivers the food."

Gu Fan said "Hey" and said unhappily: "You are so filial, could I be a stingy person?"

Although Gu Zhen is smart, she is only a girl in the boudoir after all. What she sees and hears on weekdays is only a small part of the world. She is not as clear-minded as the two people next to her, so she didn't think deeply about it for a while. Of course Gu Fan didn't make that request just for food and drink.

, otherwise, with the status of Guangping Marquis Mansion and Gu Liang’s power, what do fresh vegetables and fruits mean? Not to mention that the Gu family also has a farm like Luliuzhuang outside the city. His move was just to test Pei

Yue, look at this young man's attitude towards the Gu family's kindness.

Pei Yue heard the song and knew its elegant meaning, so he immediately agreed, which made Gu Fan feel relieved.

The reason why he agreed so simply was because of Gu Zhen's appearance.

Gu Liang's kindness to him was sudden and inexplicable. It couldn't be because he heard something he said at Taijun Pei's birthday banquet that day, and then the big boss in charge of the Beijing camp was so kind to him. He vaguely felt that Gu Liang

There was a very secret reason behind his attitude, and he could not tell whether it was good or bad. It was not until Gu Fan brought Gu Zhen here that he confirmed that the other party had no ill intentions.

No matter what the reason why Gu Liang cares about him, he has no need to involve his only daughter.

Being able to do this shows that Gu Liang regards himself as his closest nephew.

Not to mention the power in Gu Liang's hands, this friendship alone made Pei Yue unable to say a word "no".

When he first arrived a few months ago, he remembered the kind words and snacks sent by Pei Ning, not to mention the frank and sincere care of an elder?

Looking at the closeness in Pei Yue's eyes, Gu Fan also came to his senses at this time. His father asked him to bring Gu Zhen here not only to create an opportunity for the children to meet, but also to take the opportunity to let the young man

Dispel your worries.

Why do you think Pei Yue is my father's son? He is equally cunning and has more eyes than the stars in the sky.

Gu Fan was startled by the strange thoughts that suddenly appeared in his mind. He felt a chill immediately. If this was the case, how could his father let Gu Zhen meet him? There was something wrong with his brain. He shook his head.

Pushing these thoughts away, he said to Gu Zhen: "Little sister, let's go back."

Gu Zhen nodded in agreement, then looked at Pei Yue and said: "Brother Pei, please take care of yourself. If you encounter any trouble, send someone to find your fourth brother. He is not very serious and can help you."

Some."

Pei Yue bowed his hands and said, "I've written it down. Thank you very much, Sister Gu."

Gu Fan asked Gu Zhen to get back on the carriage with a bad look on his face. He suspected that if he continued talking like this, he would sooner or later become that boy's follower.

If word of this spreads out, how will he be able to make a living in the world in the future?

After Gu Zhen entered the carriage, Gu Fan turned around and said with some displeasure: "My little sister is kind-hearted by nature, so she can't bear to see what Li Zijun and his gang did today. But I must remind you not to use chicken feathers as arrows.

Come to me for any trouble."

Pei Yue chuckled and did not argue with him.

The benefits have been taken, and the verbal advantage will be given to this ranger.

Xu knew that his words were very weak. Gu Fan was about to continue mocking a few words when he saw a middle-aged man walking hurriedly in the distance. After seeing the man's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but chuckled: "

Li Zijun’s people are here.”

The middle-aged man came forward, saluted Gu Fan first, then looked at Pei Yue cautiously, and asked in a low voice: "Can I ask Mr. Pei in person?"

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Not bad."

The middle-aged man bent his waist even more and said respectfully: "Mr. Pei, I am the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of Fengcheng Hou Mansion. I have specially brought the bet here on the order of the eldest young master of the family."

After speaking, he took out five 1,000-tael notes issued by the Taiping Bank from his sleeves, held them in both hands and presented them to Pei Yue.

"Bet?" Pei Yue didn't take it and asked with a frown.

"Cough cough cough cough!" Gu Fan reminded loudly from the side.

Pei Yue looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Brother, is your throat not feeling well?"

Gu Fan rolled his eyes at him, and his meaning was very clear: That's alright. Do you think Li Zijun is embarrassed to tell people that he came here to make trouble but you cleaned him up and then had to spend money to rectify the disaster? Let people know about him.

How are you going to hang out in the future? Do you think that everyone else has the same fate as you and can live in ruins?

Pei Yue then took the banknote and said to the middle-aged man: "I accepted the banknote. Go back and tell your eldest young master that he is willing to admit defeat. If there is anything left, you can come here to see me again."

.”

The middle-aged man didn't know the inside story, so he could only say quietly: "I understand, I will tell the truth to the eldest young master."

Pei Yue waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back now. I still have guests here, so I won't let you have tea."

"Don't you dare, gentlemen, I'll take my leave." The middle-aged man saluted and left.

Gu Fan stretched and said, "I'll send my little sister back and come back to you another day."

"Wait, brother, this is your share."

Pei Yue took out a Qianliang Gui Gui ticket and put it into Gu Fan's hand without any explanation.

Gu Fan asked in confusion: "Brother Yue, what does this mean?"

Pei Yue did not joke like before, and said with a gentle smile: "Brother, you helped me get this money, so naturally I have to repay you. I guess you don't appreciate verbal thanks, but I don't have anything you can see."

The treasure that appeals to the eyes has to be vulgar, so I use this yellow and white thing to express my feelings."

Gu Fan was shocked. This one thousand taels was not a small sum. The young man in front of him was obviously just a white-bodied bastard, but he was so powerful in his attacks. It was hard to see how he had practiced at such a young age.

However, Gu Fan is obviously not the kind of person who is long-winded and hypocritical. He usually spends a lot of money on socializing with those heroes, and he can't always get money from home. He doesn't have much money, so he readily accepted the banknote and said with emotion:

"This money is cheap and easy to get. Brother Yue, remember to call me next time something like this happens."

Pei Yue cupped his fists and said, "Definitely."

Gu Fan rode a tall horse with a smile on his face and escorted the carriage away from Green Willow Manor. When he talked about this with Gu Zhen on the way, he was still a little surprised. He was even more looking forward to the days to come, wishing that he could not wait for it every day.

The long-eyed dandy came to Green Willow Village to trouble Pei Yue, completely forgetting that he had told Pei Yue not to use chicken feathers as arrows.

Gu Zhen was sitting in the carriage, listening to her brother talking excitedly. She did not speak out in agreement, with a calm and bright smile on her fair face, and silently said three words to the young man in her heart: "
Chapter completed!
