Seeing Pei Jieming's deflated appearance, Dong Xiu pursed his lips and smiled unkindly. Although Benjamin Pei didn't look back, he could feel that the person behind him was smiling happily. His heart trembled, and he always felt that everything today was a little abnormal, but he did not reject this abnormality, which made him even more uneasy.

He picked up the teacup on the table and slowly tasted the tea in the cup on the surface, but in fact, he quickly adjusted his mood, so as not to lose the opportunity when he spoke for a while.

Lan Xin is not an impatient person, seeing that Pei Jieming is slowly sorting out his thoughts, she does not urge. Seeing that he put down the tea cup in his hand, he said with a smile: "Pei Gongzi should know that our Yu family's Zhuangzi is adjacent to the crooked neck village where you live. We have a few children in Zhuangzi who always like to come to you to listen to stories. ”

Pei Jieming pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I remember, there are indeed two or three children from other villages who always like to run to me. He felt that the person in front of him, although a little delicate, was a person with a seven-trick exquisite heart. For a moment, he couldn't guess what she was saying this. He also gave an ambiguous answer.

Lan Xin didn't mind his little cleverness at that time, and continued with a smile: "On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, I suddenly prepared a game of guessing lantern riddles on a whim. I didn't expect those three children to behave very well, obviously taking Childe's usual teachings to heart. I took the liberty of inviting my son to come today, that is, I want to ask, is my son interested in continuing this master-apprentice relationship?"

"What does the girl mean by letting Pei be a husband for these three children?" asked Benjamin Pei in surprise. He had speculated in his heart and thought about many impossible possibilities, but he didn't think about this one. Seeing Lan Xin's affirmative nod, his heart was not calm. Intuition told him that the jade girl in front of him was not a person who played cards according to the rules, and what was the purpose of her sudden request?

It is undeniable that he is indeed a little excited. His current situation is worrying, and he can only live on the few copper plates he can get from writing and reading letters for others, and he is hungry and full every day. No, it seems that since the death of his parents, he has never had a full meal. Besides, if it weren't for the ancestral home of his parents, he wouldn't even have a place to live. It's just that I don't have any extra money in my hand, and the house hasn't been repaired for a long time, maybe after two or three years, I really don't even have a tile to shelter from the wind and rain.

Therefore, this opportunity at the moment can be described as a relief for him. But he couldn't say yes right away, he was long past the age of naivety and believing that there was pie in the sky, and he didn't believe that there would be a person in this world who would be nice to you for no reason, especially a stranger who met for the first time. He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "Can Pei ask the girl, there are many learned people in Jiangzhou City, why did the girl choose Pei?"

"Then Pei Gongzi thinks that he is worse than others, why can't I choose you?" Lan Xin did not rush to answer his words, but asked rhetorically for a long time.

Pei Jieming paused, really thought about it seriously, looked up at Lan Xin, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for the girl's trust, it's just that my leg is disabled." ”

Although his face was light, as if he was teasing, Lan Xin still caught a trace of nervousness and doubt in his bright eyes. She smiled and asked, "Pei Gongzi is just a crippled leg, but his heart is not crippled, isn't he?"

Pei Jieming's spirit was shocked, his bright eyes were a little moist, since he was injured, although he told himself every day, alive, alive like a person. But in his heart, he still hopes that someone will affirm all the efforts he has made. How could he not be thrilled when he finally got his wish today?! He blinked vigorously to keep the tears from flowing from his eyes.

Lan Xin knew that his heart was very uncalm at this time, so he simply gave him a little time. He said softly: "Don't hide it from Childe, before inviting Childe to come, I asked people to investigate Childe's affairs." I know that Childe doesn't like it. Sure enough, after Pei Jieming heard Lan Xin's words, he was so moved just now, and now he frowned and stared at Lan Xin.

Lan Xin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued: "However, I am responsible for my people. Especially since they are just ignorant children, they don't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. I hope Pei Gongzi can understand this. ”

Pei Jieming's lips squirmed, and the words of reproach were not said in the end, because what the other party said was the truth. He rolled his eyes, cleared his throat, and asked in a deep voice, "The girl should have something else to ask, so you might as well say it directly." ”

This person didn't seem to have grabbed a life-saving straw and impatiently agreed, but calmly analyzed, which made Lan Xin can't help but glance high, and said with a smile: "Pei Gongzi is transparent, Lan Xin admires! ”

Benjamin Pei nodded and motioned for her to continue. Lan Xin smiled and asked, "Will you go to those people for revenge?" I believe he can understand that the people he mentioned are the ones who stole his test paper and injured him.

Pei Jieming was shocked and looked at Lan Xin in surprise, he didn't expect her to ask so directly. But he knew that it was reasonable for her to ask. Although so much time had passed, there was a trace of resentment, a trace of unwillingness, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and said earnestly: "It would be unrealistic to say that I have given up hatred now, and the girl will not believe it.

For so long, I don't care about other people's eyes, and I have been working hard to live, just to make myself worthy of the nurturing grace of my parents. I am a person who cherishes feathers, and I will not ruin myself for those irrelevant people, let alone affect the people around me. ”

Lan Xin looked at him quietly, his face calmly met Lan Xin's gaze. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dong Xiu's complicated eyes, and his heart suddenly froze, and the ghost envoy promised: "If God gives me a great opportunity for revenge, I will try to seize it." But only if I protect the people around me and myself from harm. If it were to cost them their lives, I would rather never avenge this. ”

After pondering for a long time, Lan Xin finally nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you!" ”
