"Jing Nu Qishu, I am in the corner of the city. Love but not see, scratching his head and hesitating. The name of the lady is quite suitable for today's scene! ”

Outside Wenxi City, Yan Xing and Pei Shu walked side by side, believing in the reins, walking slowly on the outskirts of Wenxi City, for the scenery outside Wenxi City, Yan Xing had no intention of appreciating it at this time, but in the conversation with Pei Shu, who had already learned his identity and name, he seemed to take the initiative a lot, but the emotions were mixed with some hidden worries.

Pei Shu secretly has feelings for Yan Xing, but she is also a person with a blue heart, in the conversation and laughter with Yan Xing, she soon saw the complex emotions in Yan Xing's heart, she looked at the lush distant trees, suddenly opened her mouth, and asked:

"Yan Jun has something on his mind?"

Hearing Pei Shu's gentle inquiry, Yan Xing was stunned for a moment, although he could sense that Pei Shu had sensed the fluctuations in his heart, but he didn't expect that Pei Shu would open his mouth and ask him directly.

"Well, it's a military affair in the North!"

"Could it be that there is a change in the battle ahead?"

"There is no change for the time being, but the army has newly defeated the Baibo thieves in Linfen, and there are many thieves who have surrendered, and there are hungry people to vote one after another, and the warehouse is exhausted, and the military affairs may be difficult to hold for a long time, so I am worried, but it makes the lady laugh!"

Yan Xing did not deliberately hide the things on the surface, and the words fell into Pei Shu's ears, although Yan Xing's tone was plain and simple, not happy or sad, she still smelled a hint of crisis in it.

"Then Yan Jun returned to Anyi this time, just for this matter."

"That's true."

"What's wrong?"

Pei Shu blinked her bright eyes, her pretty face was full of tenderness, her close and concerned tone made Yan Xing's heart feel soft for a while, he sighed, and said leisurely:

"Sun Jian of Yuzhou in Kwantung Prefecture has captured Luoyang City, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have also retreated to Chang'an and Cuihan to defend on the front line, and there are swords and soldiers in the southeast of Hedong, and the grain in the city needs to supply the defenders in the south, and the war in the north can no longer be taken care of!"

"Anyi's big surname Wei, Fan and other families hoarded Juqi, and the price of grain in Hedong is also high, Wei, Fan and other families are neither willing to borrow grain nor sell grain, they all plan to guard the whole family business and sit on the wall and watch."

Listening to Yan Xing's words, Pei Shu's face also had a worried look, she sighed softly for the danger in Yan Xing's words, worried, and after a while, slowly asked:

"What about General Niu Zhonglang who garrisoned Anyi?"

Yan Xing heard Pei Shu ask about Niu Fu's plan, he didn't say anything at this time, just stretched out his hand to simulate the posture of pressing down, and then withdrew his hand without saying a word.

Pei Shu understood what he meant, and didn't ask anything more, just looked at the lush trees outside the city, and said with feeling:

"The state affairs are troubled, and the people's livelihood is difficult, but I don't know, how long can this peaceful scene outside the city last?"

Pei Shu was worried about the war in Hedong, and worried about the rare tranquility in Wenxi City, but Yan Xing knew that the chaos in this world would continue, and it would become more and more chaotic, maybe this year, maybe next year, not only would Kanto be chaotic, but Kansai would also make a big move, and the sky would be dark. It's just that he is stuck in the quagmire, even if he has the ambition to reach the sky, but now he has to stop waiting for a good opportunity.

"Summer is over, autumn is coming!"

Pei Shu looked at Yan Xing beside him, and saw that although he was thoughtful, his face was resolute, knowing that he was worried about the current situation and strong-minded, he didn't feel broken, and said with a light smile:

"Zi said, the year is cold, and then the pine and cypress wither. Although autumn is coming, it also shows the nature of pine and cypress. At present, although the situation in Hedong is chaotic, it can be rushed from Yan Jun to eliminate the evil and calm the people, Linfen to break the enemy and drive the north, and 100,000 people rely on it to be safe, and they must not be trapped in the current situation and give up on themselves. ”

"If the husband and the object are not judged, the material will not be successful, and if the person is not involved, the wisdom is unknown. If you don't have a heavy ear for 19 years, you can't be hegemonic, and if Zixu doesn't go to Wu, you can't enter Ying. From this, it can be seen that moving is precious, and I wish Yan Jun to follow the festival of pines and cypresses, walk on frost and cold, and become a gentleman's ambition! ”

As soon as Pei Shu's words were finished, Yan Xing suddenly grabbed the reins, pressed the saddle, and looked at Pei Shu with two bright eyes, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

Pei Shu's words just now seem to be encouraging Yan Xing to be ambitious and not afraid of hardships and dangers, but after thinking about it, it seems to hide another layer of meaning inside, Chong'er and Wu Zixu are all typical ancient characters who are trapped inside, go outside, and complete the counterattack with the help of external forces.

Yan Xing looked at Pei Shu, and what he saw was a pair of clear and wise eyes, and Pei Shu's light makeup and delicate face could not see any clues, as if what she said just now was like sincere encouragement, and what was still on her face now was just a faint trace of affection.

Yan Xing finally withdrew his gaze in time, he smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his head to look at the sky, and said:

"It's not too early, I'll send someone to send you back to the city first, and tomorrow I will personally go to Pei's Mansion to visit your two virtuous brothers!"

"Well, tomorrow's brother is expected to be in the mansion, and he will definitely be able to meet Yan Jun!"

Pei Shu smiled lightly, unusual for the shy posture of an ordinary woman, but with a unique elegant charm.

The Pei family's ox cart was parked on the outskirts of the city, and Pei Shu, who was returning home, quickly got off the horse and boarded the car, only the servants of the Pei family and the personal guards sent by Yan Xing escorted him, watching the Pei family's ox cart roll away, Yan Xing's eyes slowly retracted to the front.

Anyi's Wei and Fan surnames seem to be already sitting on the wall and watching, and although the power of Wenxi's Pei family in Hedong County is not as strong as that of Wei and Fan, the Pei family is the family of official eunuchs, known as Qingwang, and they are also famous families in Hedong.

So when he came to Wenxi, in addition to going to the appointment with Pei Shu, Yan Xing actually wanted to see if he could get the support of the Pei family again, so it was inevitable to meet Pei Qian and Pei Hui, who are now in charge of the Pei family, tomorrow, as for the friendship between him and Pei Shu, whether it will come to an abrupt end, it also depends on the Pei Mansion and his party tomorrow.

···

Wen Xi Pei Mansion

"Big brother, third brother!"

Pei Shu, who returned to the house, had a quiet face, she was called by her brother, and after entering the side room, she saw the two brothers sitting on both sides, she smiled faintly, as if she expected such a scene to happen, and bowed to Pei Qian and Pei Hui politely.

"Fourth sister, you are still in the period of lockdown today, but you ignore the family rules and go out without permission, where do you put the family law?"

Pei Hui was sitting precariously, his face was gloomy, although his tone was not angry, but it also gave people an inexplicable pressure.

"Shu knew that she had violated the family rules, so she came to ask to see her brother and was willing to be punished!"

Pei Shu admitted her mistakes, her attitude was sincere, and she accepted the punishment, Pei Hui was originally holding back the angry words in her heart, but when she saw her sister's attitude like this, she couldn't say it for a while, and the hand that was originally halfway up was put on her lap again.

"Third brother, you can go out first!"

Pei Qian, who had a kind face and an elegant bearing, didn't speak until he saw Pei Hui's demeanor and spoke slowly.

Yan Xing's name thorn has been handed to Pei Mansion, and he will meet Yan Xing tomorrow, the two brothers have already discussed, and there are still some things that need to be arranged, Pei Hui listened to the words of the eldest brother, nodded, glanced at Pei Shu who was standing quietly, shook his head, and then got up and walked out.

"The fourth sister has been acting differently recently, and today she violated the family rules and went out without permission, could it be that she went to someone's appointment?"

Both of them knew who Pei Shu was going out to the appointment, but they didn't break it directly, and Pei Shu was not shy, but nodded and generously admitted it.

When Pei Qian saw his sister-in-law's nodding action, his always calm face couldn't help but show a tricky demeanor, although nowadays women are polite and courteous in receiving people and things, and they are generous in speech and behavior, and they have the ability to communicate with their families, but a daughter from a famous family and a good woman still runs out to meet a man in private, which is still contrary to Confucian etiquette, and looking at Pei Shu's attitude, it is obviously already intentional.

"Do you really like that Captain Yan?"

Pei Qian rubbed the acupoints between his eyebrows, and finally chose to ask directly.

Pei Shu watched her brother's movements, knowing that the matter she decided was so stressful for her brother and her family. But she still did not hesitate and said firmly:

"In the autumn of the fourth year of Zhongping, Shu was in danger of helping the wind on the right, that is, he was saved, and then met Yu Wenxi in the last year, under the intersection, Shu loved his magnificent appearance, and he also loved him to help the crisis and set the difficulty, and the war in the northeast of the river was in the general's ambition, and he was a sister, who can be called the great husband of the world, and there are more talented people than he has seen in the past!"

Pei Qian narrowed his pupils and disagreed with Pei Shu's praise.

"High merit and low virtue are not the way to deal with things for a long time. Although this son has the merit of helping the people in Hedong, he also has a mixed reputation in the public opinion of the people in Hedong, and is suspected of killing innocents without permission, and is also hated by all the big names. ”

"Doubts are nameless, doubts are fruitless. And those who have the deeds of the masters, they will see that they are not in the world, and those who have the worries of exclusive knowledge will see the people. Ordinary words, don't worry, look at their actions, Anhedong, this person must also! ”

Seeing Pei Shu's words about Yan Xing's talent and future again, Pei Qian moved the corners of his mouth, and did not directly question it, Pei Shu's vision of knowing people has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and even Pei Qian sometimes has to bow down, he glanced at the resolute look on his sister's face, and finally said another layer of worry in his heart.

"Even though this son has the ability to stabilize Hedong, but he was born in the Xiliang Army, we must take into account the reputation of the family, for the sake of the clan, we have to choose carefully!"

Although the Xiliang Army still controls the imperial court, the political undercurrent against Dong Zhuo in the court has been surging in private, Pei Mao and Pei Ji are officials in the court, and the Pei family naturally has an obvious sense of smell for the wind and grass in the court, in Pei Qian's view, it is undoubtedly an unexpected disaster for the future of the family to be related to the Xiliang Army, which seems to be hot now.

"The little sister has thought about this matter a long time ago, and she has also tried it with words, Yan Jun is a person, watching his actions, seeing the world, having courage and knowledge, and caring for the common people, Yunwen Yunwu, he should not be a violent and violent person of Dong."

Although Pei Shu's words are very valuable, they can't completely move Pei Qian's mind, how can this scholar marriage be hastily selected, family reputation, portal, official career, etc., all of which must be carefully considered.

Pei Shu looked at the subtle changes in her brother's expression, and also knew her brother's style of doing things, she was not in a hurry, she bowed to Pei Qian dignifiedly, and said:

"In recent years, the state affairs have been difficult, the Central Plains has been swaying, and the city of Hedong has also had the disaster of war, and the little sister often sees the two brothers sighing all night for the rise and fall of the family. The little sister chooses a mate, this private affair, the rise and fall of the clan, this important matter. The matter of choosing a mate, my brother has doubts, please put it aside for the time being, Shu is willing to be grounded and punished, in order to avoid the mouth of others, and tomorrow's meeting with Yan Jun is related to the war situation in the north and the survival of 100,000 people, for the sake of Hedong and for the sake of the family, please also take the time to meet with him! ”

Pei Shu's words just rightly poked Pei Qian's mind, hearing his sister-in-law's words, Pei Qian couldn't help but be slightly moved, his eyes became soft, and he said with some emotion:

"There is Zhilan in the court, and the family is lucky. I will meet him tomorrow, and the fourth sister can think of this, and she will be happy for her brother, but for the sake of the family, I have to wronged you first. ”

"Then the little sister thanked her brother first!"

Pei Shu was as dignified and virtuous as before, and bowed to Pei Qian again before getting up and leaving the room.

At this time, only Pei Qian was left in the room to sit alone and meditate, the light from the west slant came in from the window, stretching his immobile figure long, looking at his shadow, thinking about the luck of the family and the guest with Pei Shu's blue eyes tomorrow, young and old, Pei Qian, who was in charge of the family business, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Like light and shadow, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
