Chapter 023: Choice

(After almost ten days of disconnection, I finally returned to Guangzhou and resumed the update.) Actually, I don't dare to read the book review area, please smash bricks as much as you like, I don't hide~~ Thank you! I'm sorry everyone!)

Pei Ding stood up and watched Zheng Heng approach him quietly.

He has a slender figure, and Zheng Heng has not yet grown, he can only look down to be at Zheng Heng's level.

The gaze is downward, but it is not a downward gaze.

In fact, the trace of consternation in his eyes was also appropriately hidden, and his gaze was only peaceful.

Peaceful, like watching an old acquaintance walk towards him.

Someone with white hair as new as before, at this time, Pei Ding actually thought of such a sentence, and his face changed a little strangely. It's as good as new, but it's just to a boudoir girl who's met a few times?

However, what is even more bizarre is Zheng Heng.

She ordered Zhang's mother and Yingzhen to stay at the stairs, and approached Pei Ding alone, without any shyness on her face, as if Pei Ding was a familiar brother next door.

She raised her head slightly, looked up at Pei Ding, and said, "I've seen Senior Brother, I'm polite." ”

She obviously looked up at Pei Ding, and obviously said kind words, but she made Pei Ding's side drunk and had an indescribable feeling, as if ...... She was standing on the top of the steps, not much shorter than Wushao.

This feeling was felt more clearly by Pei Ding himself. He deliberately lowered his gaze in order to accommodate Zheng Heng and make eye contact with her, but he suddenly felt that there was no need for this at the moment.

The girl in front of her, who is not tall, is actually no different from him.

It's not about measuring the eyes, it's inevitable.

Feeling the "momentum" in a little girl surprised Pei Ding's heart. He thought that this would never be lower than the momentum of a person, and it would take decades of experience and a person in a high position to have it.

However, the little girl in front of him subverted his cognition.

Immediately, he was relieved.

This girl can not only Hongzhu body, can wave the momentum of the heavy pressure of mountains and rivers in Hongzhu body, but also can write the sentence "There are no ink spots and many tears, and mountains and rivers are still mountains and rivers". 、

He stretched out his hand to the seat and said with a smile, "Miss Zheng, please take a seat." ”

When he saw Zheng Heng sitting down generously, his smile deepened, and he glanced at the drunk, and then retreated after being drunk.

I don't know when Pei Ding's table was left on the fourth floor of Nuoda, and there were still only two young men, a man and a woman, and the servants retreated far away.

When Zhang's mother saw this scene, her voice raised her throat and eyes, and she wanted to speak a few times, but after Zheng Heng glanced back lightly, she stopped again.

At this time, Pei Ding was already pouring tea for Zheng Heng, and at the end he pushed the green tea cup to Zheng Heng, expressing his intention to invite her to drink tea.

Seeing Pei Ding's movements, Zheng Heng smiled. What she was thinking at the moment was to sigh at the folk customs of Hedong. -- Compared with Jingzhao who ruled the dynasty in the past, it is a little more relaxed.

But...... Is it because the people's customs are relaxed? Or do they have no time to take care of them? -- She thought of the homeless people outside Qianhui Tower, so many homeless people are in the most prosperous places in Hedong, in fact, they can't have strict etiquette and religious defense.

Only when you have enough food and clothing can you know honor and disgrace. However, Hedong is also a great propaganda place, and knowing that receiving gifts must be the basis of folk customs, so it is too contradictory.

Many things in Hedong are too contradictory. Why is there such a contradiction? In just three years, why has Hedong become like this?

Pei Ding looked at Zheng Heng: What the hell is this little girl thinking, it makes the surrounding atmosphere condense.

Before he could speak, he heard Zheng Heng ask in a low voice: "Senior brother, I saw a scene of quarrel before, and there are many incomprehensions, so I want to ask senior brother for advice......

She told the quarrel between Huang Mei and Gu Zhen just now, and asked at the end: "Senior brother, I have been in the Buddhist hall for three years, and I don't know about foreign affairs, please solve my doubts." “

At this moment, Pei Ding's action paused, and the doubts in his eyes couldn't be hidden. This little girl actually wants to know the situation in Hedong!

A little girl, a little girl who had just come out of filial piety, was asking about nothing else, but the situation in Hedong! Is this normal?

It's so abnormal!

In other words, when anyone hears such an inquiry, the first thing that comes to mind will be that Zheng Heng is suffering from madness. But fortunately, Pei Ding is not among "anyone".

When he was at the west gate of the school palace, he became curious about Zheng Heng, and then through the impact of that poem and Hongzhu style, Pei Ding knew that this Zheng girl was not an ordinary girl.

This kind of inquiry is too abnormal, but it makes him have an inexplicable feeling of "it is so".

From the moment she walked towards him, he knew that she must have asked, but she specifically mentioned the Gu family and the Huang family, so what she wanted to know, it was clear.

"Two years ago, the descendants of Gu Yunyu, the former assassin of Wenzhou, were involved in a corruption case, and all the children and grandchildren were imprisoned, and the emperor thought that Gu Yunyu was sick and weak, and allowed him to retire in Wenzhou; half a year ago, Zhao Yan, the Hedong observation envoy, was transferred to Guanglu Siqing, and the new observation envoy was Xie Lishi, the younger brother of Xie Huishi, the servant of his disciples...... So, is it enough?" said Pei Ding.

His voice was lowered, but the tone did not fluctuate much, and the last question was not ironic, but expressed: if it was not enough, it could be more detailed.

Although Pei Ding's tone was calm, there were waves rolling in his heart. He didn't expect that he would bring together the situations in Hedong, as if she should know about these situations.

However, what was the reason why he felt that a girl should know about the situation in Hedong?

Probably, there is no other reason than the water in my own brain, right?

He frowned, his face unexpectedly annoyed. At this moment, he has no idea what he is doing, okay?

Zheng Heng in front of him was shocked by Pei Ding's words, so that he didn't notice Pei Ding's inner contradictions.

It doesn't matter if Gu Yunyu and Zhao Yan are not in place, but the Hedong Observation Envoy turned out to be Xie Lishi!

Is...... I never thought that in just three years, the Xie family's power would be so strong.

A subordinate squire, a Hedong observer, good, good, really good!

Obviously, when the mourning family died, Xie Li had not yet come out, how could he be in the position of a third-grade observer?

This candidate was really unexpected by her. Fortunately, she has always looked cold, and even if she is shocked in her heart, she will not leak a little.

She thought in her heart: Xie Li was transferred to Hedong as an observer, was it the Pei family's handiwork?

After all, Xie Li is Wang Yuanfeng's protégé, and Wang Yuanfeng is Pei Ding's uncle!

The forces of the Xie family, the Wang family, and the Pei family are intertwined, and it is not clear when she is the Empress Dowager Zheng. When I look at it now, it's also not very clear.

She couldn't help but look at Pei Ding, this young man looked quite sickly, only those black eyes were like stars, flowing with a pure light.

Sheer...... It is impossible for a person like the Pei family to have pure eyes. Otherwise, you can't resist three generations. At this moment, Pei Ding's purity is only to illustrate the authenticity of the situation in Hedong.

The next moment, Zheng Heng chuckled lowly, feeling very ridiculous for his involuntary suspicion just now.

Since she returned to Qianhui Building to find Pei Ding, she already had a choice and a judgment in her heart, why did she go back and forth because of a Xie Li?

Mourning, suspicious.

After sitting on the throne of the Xuanzheng Palace, she was in charge of the government of Daxuan, and although she tried to be clear and self-controlled, she was still suspicious......

Being suspicious, in fact, is not bad for her. Trust, what a mysterious word, she will not trust someone she is not very familiar with, whether she is the Empress Dowager Zheng or Zheng Heng.

She knew very well that she had died and come back to life, she had no power in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and she had discovered the emergency of the secret guard, which was why she came to Qianhui Tower to find Pei Ding.

Perhaps, there are some side ones. Did the teacher say that Pei Ding was not a thing in the pool? Or perhaps, he was impressed by the determination of the Pei family for three generations?

Or is it because of Pei Ding in front of him?

Before she was displaced in her previous life, she couldn't learn how to meet people, so she suffered those experiences, but then she entered the palace and was already nine points accurate in seeing people. The only mistake and omission is Emperor Zhiyou.

The emperor is beyond the power of manpower, and despite the mistakes and omissions, she does not feel much regret.

If you don't live again, if you don't have a chance to correct it......

She turned her gaze, swept past the wandering people outside Qianhui Building, and then looked at Pei Ding, who was pouring tea for her, and strengthened her determination to come to Qianhui Building.

Even the dark guards have cut off contact, and the only person she can ask for help here in Hedong Province is Pei Ding, which is the only choice she can make due to the situation.

Since it is the only choice, there is no need to think about it, there is only this one, and it can only be done.

After a long time, she showed a smile and said, "Senior brother, do you know Jishan Street? I have one thing I want to ask senior brother to help ......."
