Chapter 686: Chapter 175: Pillar of White Jade Holding Up the Sky, Beam of Purple Gold Spanning the Seas!

As time passed, the feeling in Pei Guanyun’s heart grew stronger.

He seemed to have really become the other person’s driver.

And the one sitting in the back was an important person.

Along the way, the two had little conversation.

Pei Danqing instructed Pei Guanyun to drive Xu Lin to a restaurant styled like an ancient tavern.

So Pei Guanyun drove the car here.

"Mr. Xu, you can get off here!"

Pei Guanyun adjusted his attitude, mainly because he was a bit afraid Xu Lin might say bad things about him to his sister.

Damn.

Today felt a bit suffocating!

Xu Lin also got out of the car, without saying much.

He stood there, his height of 1.9 meters, tall and slender.

Pei Guanyun just happened to be watching him, Xu Lin gave him a very strong feeling.

When he was young, his elders made him memorize books, and he read a poem:

Jade pillar supporting the sky, golden beam spanning the sea!

This line spoke of someone being a remarkable individual, capable of bearing heavy responsibilities and supporting the broader situation.

Pei Guanyun was a bit dazed; this kind of feeling, he had only seen in his great-grandfather before.

His great-grandfather was 106 years old, born in 1920.

He was the cornerstone of their family.

Pei Guanyun said, "My sister will be here soon; the table is already booked, you can go in and wait."

"Alright."

Xu Lin replied, then turned and went inside.

In this kind of tavern, there’s no need to report the table number; instead, the server asked him if he was Mr. Xu?

Xu Lin said he was.

The server then said, "Mr. Xu, this way please, Miss Pei will be here soon!"

"Mm."

Xu Lin followed the server into a private room.

About ten minutes later, the sound of leather shoes walking was heard.

Pei Danqing finally appeared.

"Xu Lin, sorry, today was a bit busy."

Today, Pei Danqing was dressed in a black suit, with her right hand still draped with a coat as she came in.

She brushed her long hair aside, hung the coat on a nearby rack, and then sat down.

Xu Lin: "Shall we start ordering food?"

Pei Danqing: "Mm."

She asked, "Did my brother give you a hard time?"

"Not at all."

Xu Lin had the composure; he really didn’t take Pei Guanyun seriously.

Pei Guanyun said, "My brother has good living conditions but isn’t quite accomplished."

Xu Lin: "Su Xun didn’t start striving until he was twenty-seven; your brother seems in his early twenties, so surely he’s not in a rush."

Su Xun, that is, Su Shi’s father, as it was written in books, wasn’t accomplished at a young age but later exerted effort, making a name for himself, especially having two remarkable sons.

And Pei Guanyun, coming from a prominent family, any family with a couple of generations would value education, even if their wealth initially came from becoming upstarts, let alone a family stemming since the Ming Dynasty; of course, their education might not be like that of ordinary affluent families.

A prominent family wanting to continue its legacy can’t possibly produce a wastrel.

A hundred-year dynasty, a thousand-year family.

Historically, there were no five-hundred-year feudal dynasties, but there were five-hundred-year family lines.

What about the Zhou Dynasty?

Wasn’t it said to have lasted for eight hundred years?

But it wasn’t a feudal dynasty.

In truth, historically speaking, since the Spring and Autumn Period, it was actually just a puppet; the vassals didn’t heed the Zhou emperor, and the Western Zhou, when the Zhou emperor still had authority, only lasted 275 years, adhering to the rule a dynasty doesn’t exceed three hundred years; the Western Zhou fits this.

Eastern Zhou?

Eastern Zhou was the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, where the existence of the Zhou royal family was negligible.

"Let’s hope so."

Pei Danqing nodded.

She asked, "How many days do you plan to stay in Capital City?"

"At most five days, I have to go back to work afterward."

The initiative must be in his hands; what if you guys dilly-dally?

"That should be enough," Pei Danqing said.

The two ordered food, and soon, several dishes were served.

Beverages, drinking tea.

After eating and drinking, Pei Danqing asked the other, "Would you like to go strolling around?"

"Sure, as a walk to aid digestion."

"Mm."

So, the two left the restaurant and drove to Wangfujing pedestrian street.

In the evening, it was quite crowded here, all coming to shop and stroll.

Xu Lin and they didn’t really have anything to buy, just wandered and walked around.

At about nine in the evening, the two returned to the courtyard.

Pei Danqing said, "I’ve put your clothes in your room." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Previously, when Xu Lin left, there were clothes drying.

"Thanks."

"Mm."

Xu Lin saw her returning to the room as, despite the heat, even at night, Pei Danqing’s back was a bit sweaty.

That was a white shirt, very noticeable when sweating.

Xu Lin felt that Pei Danqing’s weight should be over 120 pounds, and she had a good overall figure, a voluptuous kind.

Seeing Pei Danqing return to her room, Xu Lin also turned to his room.

He wanted to take a shower, having been out, and it was quite hot at night.

Not sweating would be a lie.

Upon returning to the room, Xu Lin found his clothes were placed on the bed, neatly folded.

Apparently folded by Pei Danqing.

Xu Lin took a shower and came out.

His shower wasn’t too short or too long, about seven or eight minutes.

And five or six minutes later, Pei Danqing also came out of her room.

She had also showered.

Pei Danqing was probably the girl Xu Lin knew who showered the shortest time.

Just after showering, Pei Danqing looked like a lotus fresh out of the water, but for a beauty at that level, not being lovely after a shower would be unusual.

Pei Danqing also didn’t wear makeup, like Ning Yuhuan, a strong-featured type who didn’t need makeup; her features were overwhelmingly authoritative.

Seeing Xu Lin had taken a shower, Pei Danqing asked, "Was the hot water warm enough?"

"I showered with cold water."

"It’s my preconceived notion; I thought you used hot water."
