Chapter 216: Rejection at every turn

Duofu trotted all the way behind Pei Ye, not only afraid that the young master would throw fire on him in a fit of anger, but also felt that this thing was really funny.

This trip to Dali, the young master has planned for a whole month, whether it is the Li Mansion where he rests, the inn next to the ancient town, or the begonia flowers under the mountain, or the safety lock on the street......

Which one is not arranged by the mind and put a lot of thought into it? There are even some details that he, a little entourage, helped rack his brains to come up with ideas......

In the past, the young master was reluctant to spend his time on the girl, and the eldest lady laughed at him because of this, but now he is willing to put his mind into it, but he has encountered such a difficult master.

If you want him to say, with the power of the young master, where do you need to coax? Just pick a few loads of jewelry and send them to Jiangfu, settle Master Jiang's place, and turn around one day to ask the old lady to send a post to propose marriage, why bother like this?

Duofu shook his head while thinking about it, the thoughts of the masters are really incomprehensible.

After Su Xue returned to the inn, her face was gloomy. At the beginning, Miao Meng asked Su Xue why she didn't accept the peace lock sent by Pei Ye, and shouted that it was a pity. Later, when she saw that Su Xue's face was not good, she stopped talking.

It was already completely dark, and Miaomu added an extra light to the house.

Su Xue washed herself, changed into a set of clothes, and sat quietly by the window.

Thinking about the words that the second master said to her before leaving, and the worried eyes......

took out the green agate peace lock she asked for today, rubbed the jade character on the back, and her face became solemn.

She has already had a tortuous divorce experience, and the second master's worries are reasonable, the Marquis of Xiling is no better than the Shen family's concubine. Can't be provoked, if it's provoked. If you want to get out again, I'm afraid it's not so casual.

Less. The little maid came to the door, Su Xue thought that it was Pei Ye who sent someone to invite her to dinner, and was trying to find a tired reason to let Miaomeng resign, only to realize that the maid did not come to invite, but sent dinner.

Su Xue hurriedly asked Miaomeng to take it, and while getting up to thank her, she was thinking in her heart, this Ziyu really knew her mind accurately, knowing that she didn't want to go over. It was not difficult for her, and she sent it directly, which also saved her from sending Miaomeng to pick it up.

The maid brought dinner, waited outside the door and waited for Su Xue to finish before coming in to take the plates.

Not long after the food delivery maid left, someone came again, and Miaomeng went to open the door, only to know that it was Duofu.

"Master Hou sent this painting to apologize to Miss Jiang for today's abrupt incident." Duofu respectfully presents a scroll of paintings.

Miaomeng took it and handed it to Su Xue. Su Xue opened it and saw that it was a large piece of begonia, looking at the whole painting line, soft and tough. It can be seen that there is a bit of effort, but the processing of pen and ink and coloring is a little hasty.

Gongbi painting is already time-consuming and laborious, let alone such a large scale. I think he started to hurry up when he got back to the inn, and he drew it.

Except for this Gongbi Begonia. There are also two lines of words next to it.

Yan Ran smiled and between the bamboo fences, the mountains of peaches and plums were always vulgar. I also know that creation has a deep meaning. So send the beautiful woman to ...... in the hollow valley" Miaomeng leaned close to her head, whispered word by word beside her, blinked after reading, and said, "Miss, this is ...... Is this a love poem? ”

Su Xue glanced at Miaomeng and said, "I thought you were too much, but Zuo only knew a few words and understood the superficial meaning."

Miaomeng scratched her head and pointed: "It's not easy for a little one to know all these words, since it's not a love poem, how can there be a beautiful woman?"

"This begonia is a beautiful woman, even a love poem is written for a begonia." Su Xue pretended to be calm and said, and hurriedly rolled up the painting for Miaomeng to put away.

Duofu waited outside, hearing the sound of conversation inside, and kept glancing inside, but through the curtain, he couldn't see clearly, and he didn't know if this difficult Miss Jiang was still angry.

Duofu was worried, and he didn't know how to go back to explain, and a clear voice came from inside the curtain: "Hou Ye's good intentions, how can you say it abruptly?" It just so happens that I also have a gift to give to Hou Ye, and I hope Hou Ye will not dislike it. ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Xue had already opened the curtain and came out.

When Duofu saw that Su Xue was going to send a gift in person, his eyes suddenly lit up with joy, and he nodded and said, "Miss Jiang is polite, Master Hou hasn't gone to bed yet, please go with the little one."

With that, he happily led the way ahead.

Pei Ye didn't expect Su Xue to come over in person, only wearing a white middle coat, sitting on a soft stool, drinking tea while waiting for Duofu to reply.

After half the tea, Duofu came back empty-handed, Pei Ye was overjoyed, and was about to ask, but saw Duofu pointing outside, and said softly: "Young master, Miss Jiang also came over, saying that there is also a gift for you."

Pei Ye saw that there were indeed two figures outside the house, and hurriedly got up and asked Duofu to put on a robe for him, tie his belt, and make a good arrangement up and down before letting the maid outside open the door.

Su Xue walked in, stopped five steps away from Pei Ye, and saluted first.

Pei Ye poured a cup of tea and sent Duofu to add a soft stool, Su Xue hurriedly stopped: "Su Xue only has a few words, and she will leave after speaking."

Duofu, who was holding the soft stool, was stunned in place, not in the past, not in the past, but not in the past, so he had to look at Pei Ye.

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and then waved his hand to let Duofu retreat, and said with a smile: "Miss Jiang has something to say, you don't have to be formal."

Su Xue lowered her head and looked down: "Pei Gongzi was the young master of Yiguo Mansion in the past, and now he is the Hou Ye, Su Xue doesn't dare to be informal." Between words and deeds, if Hou Ye is not happy, Su Xue can't afford to be guilty, and the Jiang family can't afford to be guilty. ”

Pei Ye frowned slightly, paused, but still smiled and said, "I don't mind when others say such things, Miss Jiang says this, it can teach me to be sad." Miss Jiang has the grace to save my life, how can I be the one who will take revenge? Besides, Miss Jiang is polite and courteous, how can she make me unhappy? ”

The corners of his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Su Xue meaningfully.

I almost didn't say that when you were rude to me in the first place, didn't I also pursue it? Why are you polite now?

Pei Ye smiled calmly, but Su Xue quickly looked away. For some reason, when she saw Pei Ye's eyes now, she would involuntarily panic.

"It is precisely because of the kindness of saving each other that Hou Ye will take care of Su Xue many times, and the jade pendant and mountain ginseng that Hou Ye gave to Su Xue are all valuable things, and the life-saving kindness has been repaid. Ran Suxue is still a boudoir woman, and traveling alone with the Hou Ye like this is inappropriate in terms of identity and etiquette. ”

The more Su Xue spoke, the more panicked she became, and she raised her eyes to look at Pei Ye, who no longer had the clear smile on his face.

She lowered her gaze again, paused for a while, and then said: "Hou Ye invited Su Xue to travel with him, Su Xue is not grateful, a little small gift, and I hope Hou Ye will accept it with a smile."

After saying that, she turned around and took the brocade box containing the two big night pearls from Miaomeng's hand and presented it to Pei Ye.

Pei Ye looked at her in a daze, his eyes flowed with loneliness, and he paused for a while before he turned sideways and called Duofu to step forward to take the brocade box.

"Since Miss Jiang has no intention of the landscape, then Pei doesn't force it, Miss Jiang is resting and ready to return tomorrow."

Su Xue lowered her head, unable to see the joy and anger on Pei Ye's face, but Pei Ye had always had a clear voice, and his words often carried a soft smile, and at this time, his voice was deep, and he knew that he was unhappy.

Even Miao Meng became nervous, if she really annoyed Master Hou, it would be amazing.

Su Xue still responded: "Master Hou has worked hard to settle down, and Su Xue is grateful."

After saying that, he bowed and got up and took his leave.

Pei Ye stared at a certain place with a displeased face, seeing that Su Xue was about to exit the door, he couldn't help but hurriedly return his gaze and said, "The gift given by Miss Jiang herself, Pei will definitely treasure it." The return journey is long, if there is any inconvenience, just ask. ”

Su Xue stopped, turned around and saluted again, thanked her, and then went out to her room.

Miao Meng followed behind Su Xue and walked out for a while before she hurriedly said, "Miss, how can you say such things to Pei Gongzi, you almost got into a big disaster!"

Su Xue stopped suddenly, frowned and stared at Miao Meng, and said, "I don't know how to make a big disaster, how many times have I said it, that's Master Hou, not Pei Gongzi, it's not something I can afford."

Miao Meng was trained to lower her head, so she didn't talk much.

Early the next morning, they set off to return, and Pei Ye was still riding a horse to protect the outside of the sedan chair.

This time the trip was obviously a bit rushed, but after all, a large group of people, in addition to them, also brought more than a dozen maids and more than 30 accompanying guards, and they were really not fast. In this way, he hurried and hurried, and only entered the boundary of Jizhou in the afternoon of the second day.

Su Xue poked her head out of the carriage and looked at the sky, estimating the hour, at this rate, it would take at most two hours for her to return to Jiangfu, if Pei Ye didn't enter Jizhou City and went back to Beijing directly, she would be able to rush back before nightfall, but if Pei Ye sent her back to Jiangfu first, and then returned to Beijing, like this, he would probably have arrived in the middle of the night when he arrived in Beijing.

The carriage was moving very fast, Su Xue pursed her lips, looked out through the shaking curtain, and could vaguely see Pei Ye riding on a horse.

She couldn't help but look at it for a while, realizing that she was distracted, and hurriedly looked away.

Duofu also rode a horse, followed closely behind Pei Ye, and listened to orders at any time. But these two days can make Duofu nervous, because his young master has a calm face from beginning to end, does not speak, and does not tell him anything.

Duofu knew that the young master was worried, he originally planned a beautiful trip to Dali, and he planned to mention this matter to his wife and master when he went back this time, but who expected that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes, and Miss Jiang would not accept this affection if she made it clear.

Duofu was sighing secretly, and the curtain of the sedan curtain was suddenly lifted, and Miaomeng poked his head out, as if shouting something. Duofu hurriedly called out to Pei Ye in front of him, Pei Ye turned around, glanced at the mouth of the sedan curtain, raised his hand, and everyone stopped.

Duofu got off the horse, leaned to the mouth of the sedan curtain, and heard a wonderful dream: "Miss said that it will take some time to rush back to the capital from here, so it is better to separate, so as not to rush to the night when the Hou Ye arrives."

Dofu was still happy to think that he had encountered a good errand, who would have expected him to preach such a thing......

With a bitter face, he trembled and went back to tell Pei Ye what it meant.

After Pei Ye heard this, his face suddenly turned blue, and Duofu was so frightened that his feet became weak and he almost knelt down. But this is not his fault, it is Miss Jiang's meaning, and he really can't understand, what is wrong with the young master? Why did Miss Jiang refuse everywhere like this. (To be continued......)
