Pei Rui took Min Xili's hand, she was young, and taking her back to the Pei family was just to make the people in the Pei family recognize her face, and she didn't plan to let her go back to the Pei family, nor did she think about letting him carry everything from the Pei family as his wife.

Walking out of the study, Min Xili exhaled deeply, now the Pei family has seen it, and she didn't give her a horse, except that the eldest sister is relatively cold, it looks very easy to get along with, not like the rumors at all, the Pei family is said to be like a tiger and a wolf's den outside.

Pei Rui saw her relax: "I said everything, so don't be nervous." I can make my own decisions about my marriage. ”

"I thought you were a comfort to me in the future, after all, the freedom to marry in a large family is too rare. What's more, it's still you. Min Xili took his hand and asked, "What are we doing now?"

"I'll take you for a walk. It was actually moved here after my mother fell ill, and my mother died in this garden. After a while, I'll take you to meet her. ”

"See?"

"Well, my mother's grave is also in this garden. ”

This made Min Xili a little surprised, this garden may have been built specifically for her, no wonder the three sisters and brothers of the Pei family are reluctant to return to this garden now, and they will be immersed in the shadow of their mother as soon as they come back.

Pei Rui asked her, "Are you afraid?"

"Your mother, what's so scary?" Min Xili just felt a little weird: "Your father can't bear her?"

"Yes. Pei Rui said: "Since my mother died of illness, the eldest sister of the family was in charge, and the eldest sister strongly opposed it at that time, but my father insisted on going his own way, saying that he could not let my mother leave her. ”

Min Xili asked him, "Your mother likes osmanthus trees?"

"Well, the grandparents of the previous house didn't like it, and they thought that the osmanthus fragrance was tacky and couldn't be put on the table. Pei Rui is always very calm when he talks about his mother, as if he wants to talk about his second sister or eldest sister.

"Well, I don't even know what my mom likes. Min Xili was afraid to bring the topic too heavy: "But I do know what she doesn't like." ”

The more the two of them go to the West Garden, the stronger the smell of osmanthus becomes, after a small hill, in addition to osmanthus there are many ginkgo trees, and the whole hill has flowers all year round.

"It's beautiful here. "A small pebble-paved road separates the whole garden from the mountain.

Pei Rui took her away and remembered Li Yunmiao: "Ah Miao never goes this way, and she always comes to play with the second sister in Dongyuan." She's afraid of ghosts. ”

"Ah Miao is actually afraid of ghosts?" Min Xili was surprised: "She seems to be quite bold." ”

"You'll know if you spend more time with her, Ah Miao is strong and hard, and she uses money as a protective charm. ”

Min Xili thought that Pei Rui may have grown up in the pile of sisters and sisters since he was a child: "You see that your two sisters and one sister have been holding the moon from a small number of stars, they are very happy, right?"

"Then you are wrong, when I was a child, my eldest sister was very strict with me, but he hired a few math teachers for me. The second sister followed me to learn to make trouble, she loved to cry and love to be coquettish, and she only restrained herself a little after her mother died. Actually, my dream when I was a child was to be a pianist, and my mother played the cello very well. Pei Rui gestured to play the piano.

"What about your eldest sister?" Maybe Pei Rui likes himself, and because he knows the cello.

"My eldest sister is a child brought up by my grandparents, and she is more in line with my grandfather's expectations for the family heir than my father. Pei Rui suddenly stopped and said to Min Xili: "I want to tell you something. ”

"What?"

"We've known each other for a long time. Pei Rui said extremely seriously.

Min Xili didn't know what he was talking about: "It's very early, I have known you since I was 19 years old." ”

"No, I've known you since you've been very young. Pei Rui poked her little head: "Your memory is so good, why don't you remember me?"

"How could it be. Min Xili looked at Pei Rui and was really impressed.

Pei Rui wanted to say it, but he felt that it was better to leave a suspense, so he rubbed her hair: "I'm kidding you." ”

Min Xili felt that since he opened his mouth, it didn't feel like a joke, but when he thought back to his childhood, in addition to the short-term happiness, the most profound memory was when he was fourteen years old, when Xia Yi disappeared, and then she reported to the police to accuse Min Da of murder, and then she made a fuss to do a paternity test, and finally flew to France during the first snow.

A lot of things happened that year, if you say that you have seen Pei Rui, how can you not be impressed.

"Is it really just to tease me?" Min Xili thought about it again, but he really didn't think about it.

Pei Rui didn't speak, pulled her to his mother's grave, and introduced seriously: "Mom, this is my fiancée, Min Xili." ”

Min Xili looked at the photo on the tombstone, and it was really the same as her, with a mole under the corner of her eye. She has a typical goose egg face, her facial features are just right and gentle, and she smiles brightly and happily. It's the same picture of his mother that Min Xili saw online.

"Pei Rui, I don't know why you said it just now, I don't have any impression of you, but I always feel as if I have seen your mother. Min Xili thought about it carefully, and he was also puzzled, it stands to reason that as long as he is not too unfamiliar, he should be a little impressed.

But I just can't remember it.

Pei Rui was not as sure as he was just now, and only said: "Maybe you have fate." If my mom were still alive, I'd love you. ”

Min Xili also smiled, except for her mother, if anyone in this world likes her very much, it is probably that her cello is old since she was a child. Cello teacher? Min Xili grabbed Pei Rui's hand and said excitedly: "I know who she is!"

"I know why I always feel familiar to your mother, she is Teacher Li Linyin! Min Xili looked at the name on the tombstone, but it was not Li Linyin, but Li Miaoge. "Why...... As far back as I can remember, Mr. Li was very thin......

At that time, she already knew that she was sick, and she probably hadn't been herself in her life, so she asked Miao's mother, that is, my aunt Li Linyin, to recruit a female student under her name. I heard that the kid was extremely intelligent and a cello genius. Pei Rui touched her mole: "My mother told me about you, saying that you also have a mole here, it turns out that there is a mole here, which is beautiful." ”

Min Xili was speechless in surprise. In memory, Li Lin is the most gentle person in the world because of her teacher, she teaches herself music theory, loves to laugh, every time she goes to class, she always arrives early, and then sends herself to the car. She cooks deliciously and makes lots of small cakes for herself. She let Min Xili know a lot of musicians, and the only regret is ...... Before going abroad, I forgot to say goodbye to her.

"Teacher Li, I'm Xiao Xili. Only then did Min Xili react, why did everyone in the Pei family call her Xiao Xili, and why were the people in the Pei family willing to accept her...... It turned out that she carried the shadow of Li Miaoge.
