Pei Gu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.

He thought about many of the questions Nuan Nuan might ask.

He thought that Nuan Nuan might ask, "Why do you want to marry me?" Or, "Did you and your brother discuss it early in the morning?" Or, "Are you really going to marry me?" ”

But she asked such an unrelated question. It was so unbearable that people couldn't help laughing, but looking at her serious look, he gently cleared his throat and said with a low laugh: "It was made by Yang." When my mother was alive, she liked lotus flowers the most, and the pool was repaired by my father for her to enjoy the flowers. ”

The voice was low and deep, as gentle as the wind blowing across the lake, mixed with an imperceptible gloom.

Hui Zhi nodded seriously after hearing this, and asked again: "It is said that the Empress Dowager loves you very much, why do you only need a scimitar?" ”

After listening to the first question, Pei Gu was obviously a little accustomed to this style of questioning, and asked back in a warm voice without moving: "Do you know that my grandfather is General Xiao Da, the general of the Zhenguo who has made an expedition to Mongolia?" ”

Hui Zhi's eyebrows suddenly rose, and she said: "General Xiao and General Xiao went to Mongolia together, General Xiao Xiao died on the battlefield, and General Xiao lost his young son, although I am not very old, I also know." ”

Pei Gu bowed his head, his eyes became a little silent, as if he was trying to recall the past, and he was silent for a long time before he whispered: "Xiao Qi, the little uncle who died on the battlefield at a young age, was brave and good at fighting, and several times the lone army went deep into the Mongolian royal court to burn grain and grass, sneak attacked and annihilated countless Mongolian relatives and nobles, but I didn't expect that at the final moment of victory, I was surrounded and counterattacked by the little Mongolian prince and lost my life. ”

Pei Gu spoke slowly, his eyes fell on Hui Zhi's face from time to time, seeing that she listened seriously, her brows frowned from time to time, and continued to tell her about the past in detail, "When my grandfather took my little uncle on the expedition, it was when my mother was about to get married, and my little uncle and my mother had a deep love for my sister and brother, and I made a promise to take back the treasure knife that the Mongolian royal family would never leave to press the box for my mother. ”

But later, General Xiao triumphed, but General Xiao died on the battlefield, and the captured sword naturally disappeared into the treasury along with other property. The treasure knife that Senior Brother Pei asked the Empress Dowager for that day was this one? ”

"That's right—after my uncle died in battle, my grandfather stabbed the Mongol prince with his hands and captured the sword he carried, which was collected into the treasury after several twists and turns." Pei Gu's voice weakened visibly, Hui Zhi couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, his eyelids fell gently, and his eyes were lonely, "When I was a child, I heard my father say that when my mother learned the news of my uncle's death, she didn't think about it, she was sad for a while, and she almost hurt her body. ”

So this is the reason why Senior Brother Pei wants the treasure knife back.

Pity.

Hui Zhi said silently in her heart, but unfortunately Mrs. Pei Xiao died early, and this treasure knife can only be sacrificed in front of the spiritual seat.

The atmosphere inside and outside the pavilion suddenly became heavy.

Pei Gu couldn't help but come back to his senses, looking at Hui Zhi's self-blaming look, he couldn't help but want to reach out and touch the top of her head, but through the curtain, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else does Nuan Nuan want to know?" Do you want to ask, why did you spend a lot of money to buy a sword that day? ”

The voice is extremely clear.

When Hui Zhi heard this, she lowered her head a little embarrassed - what kind of nonsense questions did she ask, the rumors in the capital couldn't be true, these were all rumors spread by the Yang family, naturally she couldn't listen to them seriously, and that sword probably also had some origins, and it seemed very inappropriate for her to ask like this.

She hurriedly shook her head: "I have been in the valley since I was a child, although I have not practiced with my senior brothers and sisters, I also know that Senior Brother Pei is not what the rumors say. ”

The concubine-colored stand-up collar and long jacket, the dark lines of the entwined branches and lotus patterns are elegant and delicate, and the fingers gently stirring between the cuffs of the pipa with white auspicious cloud patterns, Pei Gu didn't expect that in his simple words, he would be so nervous about what Nuan Nuan said, and he couldn't help but slow down his voice and asked, "What is the senior brother like in Nuan Nuan's eyes?" ”

The voice grew softer and gentler.

Bihui Zhi was young and didn't understand what he meant, so she said bluntly: "It's what I see on weekdays, what else can it be?" ”

One sentence couldn't be more natural, and the choked Pei Gu didn't know what to say.

***

Seeing that the weather was getting better and better, the Wang family was three months early, the fetus was stable, and the people who stayed in the house all day were fat, so they arranged to go out of the city to incense - it was said that they were going to incense, but in fact, they had made an appointment to meet the eldest girl of the Xia family who had made a marriage with Qin Yuan, and agreed on the details of the family affair with the wife of the Xia family.

Hui Zhi followed her mother to pack her things with great interest, and the mother-in-law and maid who arranged the trip were very busy.

Brother Qin Yuan was dressed very elegantly-moon-white straight jacket, with a green jade pendant, when she got into the carriage, Hui Zhi stared at her brother's face, Qin Yuan, who looked directly, was very embarrassed, Hui Zhi snorted and laughed, and said: "It's a pity that my brother still has an errand on him, but he will have to wait for a while before he can come back to marry." ”

Qin Yuan had been looked down upon by her for a long time, and listened to her make fun of herself, so he also whispered to Hui Zhi: "Jiangnan's errand, not only me and Xiao Zheng will go, but Pei Gu will also go back after a while-you have to wait for a while before you can leave the pavilion." ”

Hui Zhi couldn't help but say that she was not interested, "I am still young, and I am not in a hurry to get married", but she suddenly caught the key in her brother's words, "Why does Senior Brother Pei also go to Jiangnan?" But what does that mean? ”

Qin Yuan bowed his head and said, "Today's affairs are complicated, I will tell you in detail when I come back, you must know these things." ”

Hui Zhi was silent for a while, and said in her heart, I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with those in the palace. The princes and concubines are scrambling to grab each other, why can't they get along with our nobles, it's really boring.

So he got into the carriage in a hurry.

The injuries on Xifang's body have already healed after scabbing, but there are still scars, Huizhi took her out to breathe, she and Aman accompanied Huizhi, seeing that Huizhi's face was a little unhappy, Xiefang asked softly: "What's wrong with the girl?" But because I'm going to see my new sister-in-law, I'm not happy? ”

Hui Zhi said in a sullen voice: "It's not that my brother wants to marry, I am very happy for him in my heart, but I suddenly thought that it has now turned in March, and I am worried about her when I see that the third sister is about to enter the palace."

The three girls are going to enter the palace at the beginning of the year, and if they practice etiquette in the house every day, they are very busy all day, and they have lost a lot of weight.

With Fang Clearly, he gave Aman a look, and Aman took out a plate of red date yam cake from the accompanying box and handed it over, and said with a smile: "The jujube paste yam cake just made in the morning is still warm, the girl got up in a hurry in the morning, and she didn't eat anything, so use it quickly." ”

Hui Zhi took it and tasted two bites, the taste was smooth, sweet but not greasy, very delicious, and then used two more pieces, Aman saw that she liked it, and continued: "My mother said that this jujube is very good, it was sent by Pei Shizi, I heard that the red jujube was transported from the northwest, and the taste is not very different from ours here." ”

Hui Zhi nodded, "Wuwei Hou Zu is also a military general, and there are many old departments in the northwest, which can be regarded as the past." ”

Xianfang looked at her girl's appearance, and smiled in her chest, almost tearing the scab of the wound.

It's really unenlightening!
