The late summer sunshine streamed down the eaves, the breeze blew through the courtyard, and the leaves rustled. A few birds flapped their wings, passed between the branches and leaves of the big tree in the courtyard, and then fled the courtyard and flew into the distance.

There was a bamboo deck chair placed under the corridor, and Pei Yue lay on it with his eyes closed and meditative.

Since he was "injured", he has enjoyed an extremely leisurely and comfortable life in the past few days, which can even be said to be the most relaxing time since he came to this world. Regarding how to deal with the assassin and the playboys, he has discussed with the Southern Zhou Dynasty court.

The officials of the mission were in charge, and all the guests who wanted to visit him and persuade him to make things smaller were blocked. Pei Yue hid in a small courtyard and lived a shameless life with Taohua every day.

He originally thought that Sheng Duanming would complain, but he didn't expect that the old scholar would take up the whole matter and be busy every day, which made Pei Yue couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

"It doesn't matter. If Marquis Pei feels bored, I can find some young people to talk to you." Sheng Duanming said very considerately.

"Huh?" Pei Yue looked puzzled.

"Pei Hou is unstoppable. He beat those Zhou people to a pulp, and then used a clever trick to force the opponent to bow his head. What is the value of this old man doing this? Since he wants to fake his injuries, of course he can't let others see his flaws." Sheng Duan said clearly.

You have to be extremely considerate.

"..." Pei Yue had nothing to say.

So he began to recuperate from his injuries. The entire mission was so busy that only he and Taohua sat in a daze every day.

For example, at this moment, he was lying on a bamboo chair rocking back and forth, listening to the sound of the wind and entering a meditative state.

"Master, eat the fruit." Taohua said with a smile.

Pei Yue opened his mouth and took the iced fruit she sent him into his mouth, while not forgetting to kiss her white fingers.

Taohua didn't make a fuss or feel ashamed. She just smiled and said, "Master, why are you acting like a child?"

Pei Yue opened his eyes, turned to look at her crescent-like eyes, and said with a smile: "Do you feel sorry that I can't accompany you to your hometown this time?"

Taohua placed the fruit plate on the coffee table next to her, thought about it seriously, shook her head and said: "Master, actually I don't have any special feelings about this place. Anyway, as long as I can be by your side. I have been in the Duke's Mansion since I can remember.

That small courtyard was the first home for the young master and me, and today's Hou Mansion is the second home. When I met my mother that year, she told me that the south was home, but I would never think so in my heart.

This place is home.”

Pei Yue's expression became softer and softer.

Before Leng Ning appeared, Taohua could only think that she was an orphan, and a maid with a low status and no support. The only person who could give her warmth was the young master. Whether it was Pei Yue who helped her shield her from wind and rain in the past, or Pei Yue who later brought her

When she left Pei Yue in that cage, her world was always very simple, with only four words: dependence on each other.

Pei Yue said gently: "Girl, is there anything you want to do? For example, reading and writing, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, even if it's the way of a merchant or learning martial arts, I can find the best husband for you."

Taohua was stunned for a moment and asked blankly: "Master, do I need to learn these?"

Pei Yue shook his head, reached out and rubbed her hair, and said softly: "It's not about need, it's about whether you are interested."

He admits that he is very greedy and cannot be consistent like Gu Fan, but he does not regard them as his canaries and always hopes that they can also have their own hobbies. Needless to say, Ye Qi, Pei Yue

He will not and cannot arrange her life. The same goes for others. Even though women in this era have very few choices, Pei Yue will try his best to create some conditions for them.

Taohua did not hesitate and said bluntly: "I just want to take good care of the young master."

"Okay, you can do whatever you like. No one can force you, and there won't be anyone in the future."

"Um!"

Taohua nodded happily, moved towards Pei Yue, put her hands on the armrests of the chair, and looked at Pei Yue with a smile.

Pei Yue looked at the spring look in her eyes and couldn't help but laugh and said, "Girl, it's daytime now."

Taohua said confidently: "Master, that's not what you said yesterday. I still remember what you said. The so-called food and sex..."

"Stop!" Pei Yue looked around guiltily. In fact, no one else in the mission would dare to enter this small courtyard without his permission.

Taohua asked in confusion: "Master, what's wrong?"

Pei Yue coughed twice, changed the topic and asked, "When your mother left, I thought you would follow her."

Taohua said softly: "Mom really wants to take me back to my hometown to visit, but I don't want to bring trouble to the young master. Moreover, the young master has sent a few soldiers to follow her, so there will be no danger."

Pei Yue was startled for a moment, then reached out to rub her cheek more lovingly.

This girl is actually not stupid at all, but Pei Yue protects her too well, so she doesn't want to pay attention to the outside world.

A deliberate cough suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard. Taohua immediately sat upright, and Pei Yue raised his head and looked at the courtyard door.

Sheng Duanming's loud voice sounded outside the door: "Is Marquis Pei here?"

Pei Yue stood up and said with a smile: "Master Shanda, please come in."

The two met in the court. Sheng Duanming had a troubled expression on his face and sighed: "Marquis Pei, I have no choice but to break my promise."

Pei Yue asked curiously: "Why did Shanda people say this?"

Sheng Duanming said: "When I boasted in front of Marquis Pei before, I would never let anyone bother you, but today I met an extremely difficult Zhou person, so I had no choice but to come to Marquis Pei shamelessly."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "So, who is it that makes Shanda people feel troublesome? In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that only the chief assistant Xu Huiyan or the Zhenguo Duke Xie Xiao have such confidence. Could it be?

Are they coming to me?"

Sheng Duanming shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No, she's just a little girl."

Pei Yue laughed and said, "Is her surname Xu?"

Sheng Duanming was stunned for a moment, looked at him slightly surprised and said, "Does Marquis Pei know her?"

Pei Yue thought of that encounter in Qinyuan in Kyoto and chuckled: "We can't talk about acquaintance, just a one-time relationship. Shanda people, although this Miss Xu is Xu Huiyan's beloved daughter, she is still a yellow-haired girl after all, how can she let this happen?

Are you so embarrassed?"

Sheng Duanming was furious and said angrily: "I said that Marquis Pei was still recovering from his injuries. She stood at the door of the building and was about to cry. She also said that you were cheating if you didn't see her. If she were an adult man, I would have ordered Feng Yi to be the general.

he

Drive her away, but she is a little girl after all, why should she be allowed to cry outside the door? I can be shameless, but the mission represents Daliang and His Majesty, and we cannot let the Zhou people laugh at us for bullying a little girl."

"Don't worry, Shanda people. Could you please order someone to bring her to the main hall? I'll send her away right away." Pei Yue was amused in his heart. The old scholar in front of him was good at everything, but he was not as thick-skinned as himself.

But what exactly do the Xu family in Qinghe want to do? Is Xu Huiyan really interested?

Sheng Duanming left in a hurry, and Pei Yue returned to the inner room to change into a set of clothes and cover up his complexion a little to make it look like he had been injured. When he went out, he suddenly found Taohua following behind.

He stopped and smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Taohua timidly said: "I am the young master's maid, of course I must follow the young master."

Pei Yue knew her thoughts well and joked: "Did Ye Qi give you instructions to watch the young master in the south?"

Taohua quickly shook her head and said, "No, Master, neither Sister Ye nor Sister Gu said that."

"I didn't mention Sister Zhen'er." Pei Yue reached out and scratched the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "You can follow if you want."

The peach blossoms are smiling and their hearts are full of joy.
