Chapter 930: Today is Shangyuan Festival
Qi Niang followed Wan Niang's guidance and looked, and found that in a small pavilion by the Qujiang Pond, there was a young man sitting there pouring himself a drink, this young man was facing them sideways, because the light was very bright, so he could see it very clearly, and Qi Niang also felt that the other party was very familiar, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere?
The pavilion was only a few dozen steps away from the place where the boat was rented, Qi Niang and they saw each other, and the other party also turned their heads to look at it with some feeling, and they recognized them at a glance, and then saw that the other party immediately stood up and saluted from afar, and a gentle smile appeared on Yingwu's face.
"This young man knows you?" Ha'er couldn't help but ask in surprise when she saw this, she had just come back, and she felt very sorry for this young man.
"I remember, isn't he the young man who came with General Su Dingfang last time to join the army, Wan Niang fell in love with the other party at a glance, but unfortunately the other party wants to go to Liaodong with the army, the eldest brother said that he may not come back for a few years, but it has only been half a year, how did he return to Chang'an?" Qi Niang finally remembered at this time, and said with a surprised face.
"Qi Niang, don't talk nonsense, I'm ...... How can I ......" Wan Niang hurriedly defended when she heard Qi Niang's words, but in the end, she was embarrassed to say more, and her eyes secretly looked at Pei Xingjian in the pavilion, as if she was afraid that the other party would hear it.
"Haha~, I understand, since they are all acquaintances, then let's go and say hello too!" Hat'er is a person who came over, heard Qi Niang's words, and then looked at Wan Niang's expression, and couldn't help laughing at the moment, and then pulled the two of them to the pavilion.
Wan Niang was still a little shy, but she couldn't break free from the hand of hate, and Qi Niang also helped pull it at this time, and the three of them came to the pavilion together, which made Pei Xingjian in the pavilion a little surprised, and even a little embarrassed for a while, after all, he just saw Qi Niang and Wan Niang, so he got up and said hello, and didn't expect the other party to come over.
"In Xia Pei Xingjian, meet Mrs. and the two little ladies!" Although Pei Xingjian felt a little embarrassed, he was not an ordinary person after all, so he immediately saluted, and he also found that the woman headed by him was already married, so he changed his name to Mrs.
"Pei Xingjian? I heard Qi Niang say just now, are you a member of the army under General Su Dingfang? Ha'er looked the other party up and down at this time, and then asked, since Wanniang was interested in this young man, she naturally wanted to help inquire clearly.
"Yes!" Pei Xingjian was also even more embarrassed by the hate's gaze, and immediately took a step back and replied.
"Hate Sister Er, Pei is still a student of General Su in the army, and my eldest brother also praised him last time as a rare young man!" At this moment, I saw that Qi Niang also added a fire, and looked at Wan Niang next to her with a smile as she spoke, but she saw Wan Niang bowing her head at this time, and she didn't dare to look at Pei Xingjian at all.
"Hehe, my husband is a rare compliment, I can get Mr. praise, it seems that Pei Senjun is really an extraordinary person, I don't know where Pei Senjun is, how old is this year, who else is in the family?" Ha'er's eyes lit up again when she heard Qi Niang's words, and then she looked at the other party seriously and asked, she remembered that when Li Xiu first saw her husband Shangguanyi, she also praised him like this, this young man can get the same evaluation as his husband, there must be something extraordinary.
"Mrs. Qiyu, she is seventeen years old this year, her ancestral home is Hedong, her father died early, and there is still an old mother in the family!" Pei Xingjian replied with a blushing face at this time, because he felt that the young woman in front of him was not asking these questions like a greeting on the first page, but like a blind date.
"Pei joined the army but after the famous family, born in Hedong Pei, his father used to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the former Sui, and his brother was a famous brave general at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately he later fell into the hands of Wang Shichong, which can be described as a loyal martyr, and Pei joined the army and inherited the bravery of his father and brother, and has been serving in the army!" Qi Niang interjected again at this time, last time she saw that Wan Niang was interested in this Pei Xingjian, so she made a special inquiry, but unfortunately later heard that the other party was going to Liaodong, so she had to give up, but she didn't expect the other party to come back from Liaodong again.
"It turns out that Pei is also a famous family after joining the army, but he is a very good match for our family!" Hearing this, Ha'er couldn't help but smile and said, originally she was worried that the other party's background was too low, after all, a small army was really nothing, until now she completely put her mind at ease, and even made her intention clear in one sentence.
"Sister Hate, don't ...... Don't talk nonsense, I ...... I ......" Wan Niang couldn't help but hurriedly distinguish when she heard Ha'er's words, but in the end, she didn't know what to say, and in the end she could only hide behind Qi Niang with a red face and didn't dare to come out, after all, she was already thin-skinned, and she didn't know how to deal with such a thing.
Pei Xingjian was startled at first when he heard this, and then his face turned red, he was very calm in other aspects, but he had little experience in the affairs of men and women, not to mention that he had seen Wanniang in Li Xiu's mansion last time, although it could not be said that it was love at first sight, but the two were of the same age, and Wanniang's gentle temperament also left a deep impression on him, otherwise he would not have recognized each other at a glance just now.
"Okay, today is the Shangyuan Festival, it's for you unmarried men and women, don't be shy, sit down and talk, I still have something to do with Qi Niang, so I'll go to the cruise ship first, and I'll pick up Wan Niang later!" As she spoke, she pulled Wanniang out from behind Qi Niang, and then pushed her in front of Pei Xingjian despite her objections, and then pulled Qi Niang away.
"Sister Hate, you...... Don't ...... you" Wan Niang didn't expect Ha Er to come so much and throw herself here, which made her ashamed and embarrassed, but she couldn't stop the other party, and even when Ha Er left, she ordered the guards she brought to guard outside the pavilion, as if she was afraid that Wan Niang would retreat and run away.
Pei Xingjian didn't expect this young woman who came with Wanniang to be so bold, and couldn't help but smile bitterly at the moment, but the other party didn't care about them at all, and directly pulled Qi Niang to rent a boat and go boating on the pool.
There are only two people left in the pavilion, Wan Niang and Pei Xingjian, there are guards outside, and they can't get out if others can't get in, which makes the two young people also embarrassed, and for a while there was an embarrassing silence in the pavilion, no one knows what to say?
"That ......" After a long while, the two of them raised their heads almost at the same time and spoke, which made the two laugh almost at the same time, and then saw Pei Xingjian say first, "Don't be surprised, little lady, I'm not very good at talking, I was really a little slacking just now!" ”
"Pei joined the army politely, in fact, I should apologize, just now that is the sister I grew up with, what I said was a joke, I hope Gongzi will not blame!" Wan Niang also apologized at this time, after all, the words of Hate Er just now were too straightforward, and ordinary people would probably be a little unacceptable.
"It's okay!" Pei Xingjian shook his head indifferently and said, but when he said this, he didn't know what to say next, and the atmosphere fell into a little embarrassing again.
Fortunately, at this time, Wan Niang slowly calmed down, looked around at the moment, and then spoke: "By the way, I heard my uncle say last time, didn't you go to Liaodong when Pei joined the army, it is said that you will not come back for a few years, why are you in Chang'an now?" ”
"Oh, it's a long story, why don't we sit down and talk, little lady?" Pei Xingjian heard Wan Niang ask about Liaodong, and finally found a talking point at the moment, so he waved her and asked her to sit down.
"Pei doesn't have to be so polite to join the army, just call me Wanniang!" Wan Niang nodded at this time, then sat down and said.
Pei Xingjian is also a very bold person, he couldn't let go just now, but now when he heard Wanniang take the initiative to let him call her name, he nodded at the moment, and then sat opposite Wanniang and told the reason why he came back from Liaodong.
Although Wan Niang is a woman, she grew up with Princess Pingyang and Li Xiu since she was a child, so she has not heard them talk about some things in the military, so she can also understand these things that Pei Xingjian said, and occasionally take the initiative to raise some of her own questions, which makes Pei Xingjian also very surprised, after all, it is very rare for a woman to have such insight, but thinking that the other party is Li Xiu's student, she is relieved at the moment.
On the cruise ship, Qi Niang stood at the window of the cabin and looked at the small pavilion on the shore from a distance, and then said with some worry: "Sister Hate, isn't it good for us to leave Wanniang there alone?" ”
"What's wrong, don't forget that today is the Shangyuan Festival, young men and women all over the city are looking for a suitable object, I think this Pei Xingjian is good, if Wanniang doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a husband in the future!" At this time, Ha'er poured herself a cup of tea and said with a smile.
Hate Er is a person who has come over, and she has some experience in the relationship between men and women, although her decision to leave Wanniang just now seems reckless, but in fact, it is a quick knife to cut through the mess, if Pei Xingjian and Wanniang really have fate, then today is the day of their love, if there is no fate, there will be no regrets in the future.
"By the way, aren't you going to say that you are going to get married, are you really going to give up Syngman Lee in the Americas?" At this time, Ha'er suddenly thought of the purpose of coming here, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Who said I was going to give up the promise, it was the eldest brother who agreed to let me go to the Americas this year!" Qi Niang suddenly turned around at this time and said excitedly.
"Yikes! It's true? Hearing this, Ha'er couldn't help but stop the teacup in his hand, and then looked at Qi Niang with a shocked face.
"Of course, the eldest brother still feels sorry for me, seeing that I have been refusing to give up, so I finally agreed, and I plan to leave for the south in a few months, and then I will ......" Qi Niang said proudly at first, but when she said the end, she suddenly became sad, because she suddenly thought that she was going to the Americas, and I am afraid it will be difficult to see them again in the future.
