MTL - The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister-Chapter 162 Such a girl who suits him
"My lord... Mr. Pei used to be able to play with guns too... haha..." Someone said with an awkward smile, breaking the silence, "My lord is capable of writing and martial arts, admiration!"
There was a little exclamation in the atrium that was silent for a moment, "Your Excellency has excellent spear skills" and the like.
Wen Ning doesn't know spear skills, so I don't know if their amazement is a deliberate flattery, or if Pei You's strike just now was really beautiful, or, no one expected a literary champion to be able to use some martial arts?
But the coldness on Pei You's face didn't dissipate due to the easing of the atmosphere. He glanced at everyone coolly and left with his hands behind his back.
Wen Ning naturally followed him.
His pace was so fast that she almost had to trot to keep up.
Wen Lan also saw Pei You's sharp anger for the first time. He was also suppressed by that momentum just now and dared not make a sound. Now he followed behind and still didn't speak, but pointed at Wen Ning.
You, you, a female family member, why do you see men wielding knives and guns? Got into trouble? !
When they reached the corner, they went back to the room by themselves regardless of the two of them.
Although Pei You brought everyone back to the official post, Wen Ning did not share a room with him these days. After all, he is just a "small drug dealer", too close to attract attention.
But it was still early, so it was understandable that she followed in fawningly to "serve tea and pour water".
As soon as she entered Pei You's room, Wen Ning really went to pour Pei You a cup of tea.
Pei You's brows and eyes were still a little condensed, Liao Pao sat down and took a book without looking at her, obviously the anger was still lingering.
"I'm just too bored in the room..." Wen Ning knew why he was angry, the gun just now made her legs go limp.
"Next time I'll find a place with a lot of people to sit?" She put the cup of tea in front of Pei You.
"Is there a next time?" Pei You looked up coolly.
Wen Ning pursed her lips, but she didn't want to give in easily just to please him.
When she is bored by herself, of course she has to find some fun to pass the time. Today is just an accident.
"Hey, you know how to juggle with a gun?" Wen Ning decided to change the subject, "Was that young warrior who taught you martial arts also taught you?"
Pei You drooped his eyelashes slightly, looked at the scroll in his hand, and didn't answer.
"I think Xie Jiajun seems to respect people who can wield guns." Wen Ning said to herself, "It seems that the little general Xie who led them in the past is very good at wielding guns."
It’s no wonder that in his previous life, he quickly won the hearts of Xie Jiajun. After fighting a battle, Xie Jiajun became his right-hand man, and he was the only one who followed.
Thinking about it this way, Wen Ning also wanted to persuade Pei You not to be so guarded against Xie Jiajun, they were loyal to him in their previous life.
But Pei You didn't talk to him, she still just looked at his scroll, she didn't know from what angle to say this, and whether this life would be different from the previous life, so she just gave up.
Just as he was about to leave, he grabbed his wrist again.
Pei You pulled her onto his lap, sighed, and his tone was much softer than before: "Those are a bunch of reckless men, swords have no eyes, I don't want to worry about your safety even if I'm outside. After all, it's only these few days, you're away They're farther away, eh?"
Wen Ning was unwilling to give in at first, but when Pei You spoke so kindly, she softened her heart and muttered: "But I really don't want to stay in the wing room alone..."
"Be good, I'll take you out in two days." Pei You twisted the hair from her temples behind her ears, "It's just you and me."
"Really?" Take her out? !
"Well, you can wear skirts then."
Wen Ning was overjoyed: "Then I'll go back and get ready now."
Jumped off Pei You's lap, excitedly went back to her own room.
Pei You looked at her back, with a slight smile in her dark eyes, but when she disappeared at the door, that little smile returned to calm.
He lowered his eyes, and it was Mr. Pei who was cold and high-spirited.
There were still some voices in the atrium. The group of soldiers gathered together to discuss something. He glanced down and then at his hand holding the gun just now, his brows became even more dull.
After a while, he got up and closed the window, and the sound downstairs could no longer be heard.
-
Since she agreed to Pei You, Wen Ning will stay in the wing room obediently for the next two days.
Perhaps the accident that happened that day also dampened the enthusiasm of the soldiers. During the day, instead of wielding knives and guns, they kicked Cuju in the courtyard.
This time it was cheaper. Wen Ning lay on the window on the second floor, with the door closed, watching the excitement.
On the third day, Pei Youguo took her out as he said.
When it was not dawn, someone knocked on the door of her room. Wen Ning looked at her clothes and knew that it was the hidden guard next to Pei You, so she immediately went out with the luggage she had prepared.
"It's so early? Have you finished dealing with the affairs of the yamen?"
"Leave it to the elder brother."
"Where are we going? When will we be back?"
Pei You pushed her into the carriage with one hand: "You'll know when you go."
Pei You didn't pass on the secret guard, and drove the carriage himself. Wen Ning was in a good mood, and no matter where she was going, since she was the only one in the car, she took out the dress she had prepared and changed into it, and even tied her hair in a simple bun.
After thinking for a while, he stabilized his figure and put on some makeup with difficulty.
However, the carriage took a little longer than she expected. She went out at dawn, and it was already noon when she stopped.
Pei You took her for lunch in a familiar way, put her luggage in an inn, and then took her out.
Wen Ning looked around as soon as she entered the city. She is not familiar with the towns in Lingnan. She only knew the name of the town when she saw "Runan" when she entered the city gate.
It seems to be similar to Wuxi, whether it is the architectural style or the clothes of the people in the city, unlike Jiangnan, each city has its own style.
What did Pei You bring her here for?
This place does not seem to be a bustling central town like Wuxi, nor does it have any special cultural characteristics.
Until the carriage stopped at the door of a private house, Wen Ning suddenly realized.
Here... is Pei You's hometown?
Or, the hometown of Wang and his wife, the place where Pei You grew up?
In the past, Wen Ning only knew that Pei You was from Lingnan, but never knew which town in Lingnan it was. Is it in Runan, which is so remote that it is almost inconspicuous?
Seeing Pei You directly open the door with the key, Wen Ning became more determined.
"Is this your former home?" Wen Ning couldn't help but be a little excited.
Look, he is clearly a long-term lover.
He left here at the age of fifteen, and it has been eight years since the Wangs and his wife no longer lived here, yet he still remembered to come back and take a look.
"What do you think?" Pei You raised her lips slightly, took her hand and walked into the house.
The house is small and more crowded than the royal house in the capital. It can be seen that the family was struggling at that time.
The yard is no more than the size of a palm, and there are no people there for a long time. Weeds are overgrown, and when it enters the house, it is even more dusty.
Pei You, who is a bit of a clean freak, didn't dislike it. He opened the window in the room familiarly, went inside, took out a feather duster and started sweeping the dust.
Wen Ning had never done this kind of work before, and it was the first time she saw Pei You doing this kind of work. She stared at him for a while, then took a duster and followed him to sweep.
But the dust was too heavy, and she was really inexperienced, so she swept the dust all over the sky with one sweep.
At the beginning, she was a little embarrassed, but after seeing Pei You who was doing such a thing, she was spotless and noble, as if she was doing something elegant, and when she had bad intentions, she deliberately swept the dust on Pei You.
"Wen Ning." Pei You turned around.
His white clothes today were almost turned gray by her, his usually neat hair was covered with dust, and his face was rarely dirty.
Wen Ning burst out laughing when she saw it.
Pei You was not as devious as she was, and directly swept her face with the feather duster that was almost black in his hand.
She finally put on good makeup!
"Pei Shuzhi!!" Holding a duster, he poked towards Pei You.
The two had a fight in the room, and in the end they didn't know whether they were sweeping ashes or eating ashes. Wen Ning's well-chosen dress was finally unreadable, and Pei You's white shirt also completely changed color. .
Wen Ning was very happy, with smiles all over her face.
After sweeping the ashes, Pei You took another bamboo pole and took her to the yard to beat dates.
When Wen Ning entered the house, she didn't realize that there was a jujube tree in the palm-sized courtyard. It was summer at this time, the season when jujubes were ripe, and there was no one to take care of them for many years, yet the jujube tree was growing quite well, Pei You shook the bamboo pole, and the blue jujubes fell down.
"Pei You, did you beat dates like this every summer?!"
It's so much fun!
Pei You was beating dates, Wen Ning took a basket and picked them up on the ground. After a while, she picked up several baskets.
"It's so sweet." There was no water in the room, and Wen Ning didn't mind being dirty, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped it casually before stuffing one into her mouth.
Wiped another one and stuffed it into Pei You's mouth: "How is it?"
Pei You pursed the corners of her lips lightly: "It's okay."
Wen Ning glanced at him, obviously very happy, and said it so reservedly.
After beating the jujube, it was nightfall, and Pei You took her hand to the backyard again.
The backyard is even narrower, with only one well. But out of the backyard door, there is a river.
Where the river is wet in summer, the most common sight is... fireflies.
Wen Ning almost exclaimed, but Pei You pressed her lips with a finger: "Shh."
pulled her and walked over lightly.
The grass was deep in summer, so he took her to the grass and lay down directly.
Wen Ning had just followed him to lie down, and was embraced by him, and followed his eyes to look at the Internet, his eyes were full of stars.
"It's so beautiful." Wen Ning said in a very low voice.
It's fireflies again, and it's starry sky again. There is silence in my ears, only the chirping of summer insects.
Are the days in the frontier town so comfortable?
In this short half a day, Wen Ning seemed to have glimpsed a corner of Pei You's life back then.
"Did you also like to lie here before?" It seemed that there were only two of them left in the whole world.
Pei You looked at the sky, his eyes were rare and soft: "I used to read here often."
"You also study here at night?"
"Occasionally, when I read the sunset unconsciously, my mother would come to look for me with a lantern."
"Did Mrs. Wang plant the jujube tree in the yard?"
"Father planted it."
"What else do you usually do?"
"Fishing? Shrimp?" Pei You's voice was also very soft, "The fish and shrimp in this river are delicious."
"Then shall we catch it tomorrow?"
Pei You didn't answer.
Wen Ning rubbed her arms into his arms: "After we catch the person behind the scenes, we will pick up... pick up father and mother."
Changing the address, Wen Ning blushed a little.
Pei You looked down, and saw her obedient appearance.
I don't know why there is such a girl who suits his wishes in this world.
With a thought, he bent down and wanted to kiss her.
"Isn't the life here much happier than in the capital?" The little girl obviously didn't feel her attractiveness at this time, and wanted to chat with him on her own.
Pei You also stopped her movements, and only pulled her into her arms again: "Not necessarily."
"Back then the border was not as stable as it is now, and I once..." Pei You's words stopped.
He used to beg in Runan, and after he was taken in by the Wang family, several children around him recognized him, and they inevitably suffered some ridicule and ridicule.
"What was it?" Wen Ning asked.
"It's nothing." Pei You stroked her hair, "There are good and evil everywhere, and the capital is just more complicated."
Wen Ning thought about it, yes, there is also Wangguizhuang that he likes in the capital.
The two of them watched the stars in the grass for half an hour. Wen Ning got up and tried to catch some fireflies. Pei You just watched and didn't help, and finally failed.
Before leaving, Wen Ning took a handkerchief and went to the river to wring the water, cleaning up the faces of the two of them.
"What to do with these dates?" In the end, there were still many baskets of dates left, "Have you eaten so much before? What should you do if you can't finish?"
It is not possible to bring all of them back to Wuxi.
Probably because her face was still a little dirty, Pei You took her veil and lowered her head to wipe it for her: "Mother will give it to neighbors from house to house."
Wen Ning's eyes lit up: "Then shall we go too?"
"Let's go!" Carrying two baskets of dates, he went out.
This kind of thing is not difficult for Wen Ning. After all, she is a lively person who is good at getting close to people. Pei You is obviously different from her, but he is not in the mood for her. When she goes, he will follow behind.
It was more than half an hour after the night fell, and the border town was not as lively as the big city. Although it was just after Xu time, the lights of each house had already been lit, and there were no pedestrians on the road.
The whole day was very happy for both of them. Wen Ning originally thought that Pei You would come to this hometown specially, and she must be very attached to it. With Mrs. Wang's good temper, she must have a good relationship with her neighbors.
She went over to deliver dates, allowing Pei Youneng to meet old friends, and also bringing today to a perfect ending.
I don't want to give it away like this, but also send out some abnormal clues.
The first house Wen Ning went to was next to the Wang's house, and the door was knocked open very quickly. Wen Ning said happily that she was the wife of the Wang family next door. She hadn't returned home for many years. Send some summer dates at home.
Before she could finish speaking, the man had an indescribable expression on his face, and closed the door with a "snap", and felt ashamed when he touched Wen Ning.
Could it be that she played too much with Pei You today, and her body was a little unsightly?
Wen Ning looked back at Pei You in embarrassment, he also seemed a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows.
How embarrassing to go back in such a disgraceful way...
Wen Ning went to knock on the door of the second house.
This time the other party didn't directly close the door, but when they heard "Wang's wife next door", their face was terrified, and their voice was trembling: "Thank... thank you, my... my lord's kindness is so small... I appreciate it, so... I won't... "
Halfway through the conversation, she seemed to feel something was wrong, and then said with a trembling voice, "Thank you...thank you..."
Taking the basket of dates from Wen Ning's hand, she closed the door again with a "snap".
This time Wen Ning didn't feel embarrassed anymore, she frowned and looked at Pei You, feeling weird.
"Go ahead and take a look." Pei You's brows and eyes have already sunk.
This time he took the date from Wen Ning's hand and knocked on the door himself.
It was a woman who opened the door. When she saw him, she was dazed for a moment, and before he could tell her about her family, she knelt down in panic: "My lord! The book you wrote when you were ten years old was not written by my family Feng Er! Your lord spare us a lot!"
"There are a dozen or so people in our family who are all supported by Feng Er. If the prince wants to kill me, kill me. Don't kill me Feng Er!"
