On the riverside path outside the city

Sitting on the ox cart with the sound of the car, Pei Shu lifted the corner of the curtain of the car window, and looked at the scenery outside from the gap in that corner, at this time, the clouds on the horizon were dyed with a glow, the sun shone on the sparkling river, the golden light flickered, like a brilliant color, gorgeous and dazzling, the fragrance of the grass by the river, the fresh smell of the soil, and the sound of the river gurgling and flowing, Pei Shu's originally sullen mood suddenly became comfortable.

The tranquil scenery by the river is no worse than that of the tent of singing and feasting!

After seeing the beautiful scenery outside the window, Pei Shu, who was in a slightly cheerful mood, turned her eyes back to her younger brother Pei Juan, who was sitting in the car, closing her eyes, and with a trace of seriousness on her face that did not match her age.

Seeing her little brother pretending to be serious, Pei Shu, who has always been dignified, couldn't help but hide her mouth and chuckle, she couldn't help but smile and raised her slender hand, flicked it lightly on her little brother's forehead, and asked with a smile:

"What are you thinking about at such a young age?"

Being regarded as a child by his own sister, Pei Juan was naturally unhappy, he didn't want to talk away, touched his smooth forehead, and said in his mouth:

"I'm thinking, several gentlemen came together, and after the third brother talked to them, he suddenly learned that his sister had run out of the tent, what was the look on his face?"

Hearing his little brother's words, Pei Shu also stopped smiling, indeed, this scene easily put his brother in an embarrassing situation.

Perhaps, at this time, Pei Hui's face was already covered with dark clouds, and he was in a hurry, and secretly sent someone to recover the ox cart.

Pei Shuding looked at his little brother and deliberately asked:

"What about other than that, you have a serious face, don't you regret helping your sister this time?"

Hearing this, Pei Juan shook his head.

"How does my sister treat me on weekdays, the younger brother knows in his heart, today my sister has something to ask for, and the younger brother naturally has no intention of shirking, even if the two brothers punish the younger brother afterwards, the younger brother is willing to bear it!"

"Then why is there something else to displeasure about?"

Pei Shu also attaches a little importance to his young and intelligent younger brother, this little ghost, sometimes his mind is more thoughtful and far-reaching than the eldest brother and the third brother, and after he reaches the crown, he is a rising star in the family.

"I'm wondering why my sister is so out of shape today."

"Oh?"

Pei Shu was also taken aback when she heard her little brother seriously scrutinizing her thoughts, but she quickly adjusted her mentality, calmly dealt with it, and asked:

"And what do you think of?"

"If it was in the past, according to my sister's temperament, even if I didn't like the arrangement of the third brother in my heart, I would go to see it, so as not to embarrass the third brother's face, but this time, my sister acted like this, but it was really out of etiquette, although it was boring in my heart, but I was afraid that there was a hidden secret!"

"Huh?"

Pei Shu focused her eyes on her little brother, her face was not happy, waiting for his next step, after Pei Juan met her sister's gaze, she keenly caught that although there were no waves in the clear watery eyes, there were also faint ripples.

Pei Wan laughed, pretending to be the serious appearance of his eldest brother Pei Qian's family training in the past, and said seriously:

"Mencius said, 'If you are young, you will admire your parents, and if you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shaoai', today my sister will resist the third brother's choice of husband, presumably there is something in my heart, or there is another appointment today, right?"

Speaking of this, Pei Juan stopped talking and carefully observed his sister's face, but unfortunately he didn't see any clues, he also knew that his wise sister would not easily show his feet because of his own temptation, so he deliberately shook his head lightly, and continued slowly:

"There is no appointment without faith, and there is no meeting without coincidence. Let me think about who my sister has met recently and what letters she has received. ”

"Well, you know about the letters!"

Pei Shu, who didn't speak, couldn't help but speak out when she heard this, she cut straight to the point and interrupted Pei Juan's words, she looked at her ghostly little brother, she was angry and funny in her heart, she also guessed that Pei Juan learned about the letter in advance, so she kept knocking on the car to test it, and it was targeted.

"Well, although there are a large number of people in the family, they are orderly and perform their duties, so many pairs of eyes are watching, the little brother naturally knows about the letter, and he can guess who it is!"

Pei Juan raised his eyebrows provocatively at Pei Shu, but Pei Shu still looked at his little brother with an indifferent face, as if what he said was not his own business, Pei Juan saw that the words he provoked were about to be resolved by his sister's speechlessness, he was a little unwilling, but it was rare for him to catch his sister's little secret, he continued:

"Then little brother, please ask my sister another word!"

As he spoke, Pei Juan gently took Pei Shu's slender hand, stretched out his index finger and gestured it in Pei Shu's palm.

Pei Juan's gesture was very slow, but when he wrote the outline of the word "mortar", Pei Shu had already quickly closed his palms, held his little brother's fingers, and prevented him from making a gesture, and at the same time, a pair of bright eyes looked at Pei Juan as seriously as he had admonished his younger brother in the past.

"Well, that's it!"

Pei Juan pulled her fingers out of Pei Shu's palm with some embarrassment, and only after half a sound did she reply.

The carriage fell into silence for a while, so quiet that only the sound of the wheels of the ox cart was left, Pei Wan was afraid of his sister's serious gaze just now, and was hesitating to say anything more to break the silence that followed.

Unexpectedly, Pei Shu suddenly asked.

"And what do you think of him?"

"Not good!"

Pei Wan was stunned for a moment, and then said firmly.

Pei Shu was also a little surprised, but she didn't expect her little brother to answer so decisively, she thought about it and asked again.

"Why?"

"There is more than enough martial arts, but there is not enough literary talent, and it is not my sister's good match!"

"Little brother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Pei Shu glared at Pei Juan, raised her fingers, and pretended to be angry, and Pei Juan also made a fuss and hurriedly protected her forehead, afraid of being beaten by her own sister again.

"Sister, I'm just afraid that my mind is messed up at the moment!"

"If you talk nonsense again, he-eh, how can the literary talent be confined to articles, set a county civil affairs, go to the harsh evil, except for the heavy, tens of thousands of displaced people rely on it, this kind of talent, isn't it better than those talented people who can only sit and talk about state affairs and don't know the grains!"

"The third brother once said, those who can speak but can't do it, the treasure of the country, those who can do but can't speak, the use of the country, this is also seen in the difference between the unbudding and the dark in success, the wise man is old and the country is held, the villain is obsessed with the work, which is stronger and which is weaker, can my sister know?"

When Pei Shu heard the little brother's sophistry, she laughed angrily, looked at Pei Xuan, and said sharply:

"Could it be that the younger brother is in his heart, and he wants to watch my sister marry a weak man like the daughter of the Cai family, such as the Hedong Wei Zhongdao and others?"

Hearing this, Pei Juan was silent all of a sudden, the marriage between Cai Zhaoji and Wei Zhongdao is really a tragedy, today's scholars and talents who come to admire it, their nature, and Wei Zhongdao are not much different, Pei Juan naturally doesn't want his sister to be like Cai Zhaoji, married to a non-human, but Pei Shu's vision is really superior to others, and it is different from ordinary people.

The ghost captain who received mixed reviews in the mouths of Hedong Shimin was really the real hero and hero she was looking forward to?

Pei Juan sat in the car like a little adult, and was silent for a while before he said again:

"If the elder sister really wants to belong, the younger brother is naturally not easy to stop, but I am afraid that the father and the elder brothers will not like it!"

Pei Shu listened to Pei Xuan's words, although she didn't answer, she also understood what the little brother meant.

The marriage of scholars and famous families, where can it be determined only by the preference of both men and women, family prestige, family background, public opinion, official career, etc., are all coordinates that must be measured in family marriage.

Pei Shu and Yan Xing, although they can't talk about their strong love, but the two encounters, the natural choice coincidence, Pei Shu's good impression of Yan Xing has obviously overwhelmed those talented people who talk loudly, and Yan Xing's strategy of fixing Jiangyi and courting Bai Bo also came to Pei Shu's ears along with the good news.

Pei Shu, who is a blue quality and a daughter of a scholar, has indeed higher eyes than ordinary people, ordinary martial artists and scholars can't get into her eyes, and Yan Xing happens to be in a coincidental scene, and a unique border wind blows in her heart, so when talking about her marriage, Pei Shu, who is just a young age, will naturally put Yan Xing in the right seat, and compare and fit with the heroic and talented husband in her mind.

Pei Shu has been smart since she was a child, she knows that she grew up in a scholar's house, eats sorghum meat, lives in a high pavilion, has a car, and has beautiful clothes, but she also has the helplessness and sorrow that the civilian family does not understand, in the past, she also felt that she could accept this kind of family mission, but when it came to the end, she found that her heart still couldn't let go.

She sighed, as if she was convincing Pei Wan, and as if she was convincing herself.

"Meng Guangfei Liang Hong does not marry, there is respect for Qi Mei, Zhang Zhongnu married Chen Ping, there is the joy of Wangfu, if the marriage is not human, the husband will do it, the brothers laugh, regret and mourn, it is too late. Although a good couple is said to be made by heaven, it is also a matter of personnel, men can choose wives, women can't choose husbands? ”

"In today's world, the state is declining, the state and county are slumping, the extraordinary world, you need to marry an extraordinary person, if you don't meet, the time is also, the life is also, I will never regret it!"

Pei Juan heard her sister's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and was about to say comfort, when a rush and chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded in her ears.

Pei Juan quickly lifted the curtain, looked back, and saw that his third brother Pei Hui had already galloped with a few riding slaves.

Pei Hui is handsome, well-dressed, wearing a wide robe and a broad belt, but he does not sit in a chariot, but comes on a horse, which shows the impatience and uneasiness in his heart.

He fixed his eyes on the familiar head that had petruated from his ox-cart, and his face was gloomy, and he rode his horse again to speed up until he caught up with the ox-cart, and ordered the housekeeper to stop the ox-cart.

"Third brother."

"Brother."

After the ox cart was stopped by Pei Hui, Pei Shu and Pei Juan lifted the curtain again and called Pei Hui, but Pei Hui tightened his face, panting for breath, and did not answer, if it weren't for the fact that he only had a short beard under his chin, he was afraid that his beard would blow.

"Don't say anything, come home with me first!"

Hearing Pei Hui's words, Pei Juan knew that this time, things were getting bigger, he shrank his head, turned his head, looked at Pei Shu, who had expected it and was silent, poked out his tongue, and made a helpless expression.

The carriage and horses turned around and drifted away.

Returning to Pei's house, the result was naturally as Pei Juan thought, the angry Pei Hui enforced the family law on the two after telling his eldest brother Pei Qian, Pei Juan received the punishment, and Pei Shu was grounded······

"Lady, what are you thinking, smiling and frowning?"

A crisp question interrupted Pei Shu's thoughts, and she came back to her senses, the angry face of the third brother Pei Hui in her mind had been replaced by the small face of the servant girl who served her in front of her.

"Yes, nothing."

"It's a good day today, why don't you open the east window too?"

The maidservant who served Pei Shu knew that Pei Shu was grounded and was afraid that she would be depressed, so she asked if she would open the east window, and Pei Shu smiled lightly while sitting on the side of the desk, and she thought of some people and things that made her happy, and her eyes seemed to see the birds and flowers outside the window.

"Very good, the flowers on Mo are blooming, the twilight spring is warm, and the pavilion will be opened to welcome the spring!"
