"The concubine has seen Master Peng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "As soon as the beauty of a sign entered the door, she saluted Peng Yue Yingying.

"Sure enough, it's Miss Xueqi, forgive me for being far away..."Peng Yue sat on the main seat, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation to Xueqi, "Girl, please sit." ”

"Your Excellency is polite, you have tormented the concubine." Xue Qi smiled, so that she could sit down.

I saw that Xue Qi was wearing a light-colored tight-fitting robe with sleeves and a skirt covered with emerald green pleated scattered flowers, and a small bow made of gold silk soft smoke was hanging on her waist, licking a touch of bright color, decorating and elegant, without a trace of the feeling of a Qinglou woman.

"I don't know what happened when the girl came to the Hidden Mansion today?" While Peng Yue was talking, a little guy had already poured a cup of hot tea in front of Xue Qi.

"What big thing can a concubine have..."Xue Qi glanced at the tea on the table, and then looked straight at Peng Yue again, "It's just that I passed by Lord Peng's mansion today, and remembered that Lord Peng helped him that day, and he hadn't thanked him properly, so I came before, fortunately, Lord Peng didn't dislike the concubine, just a report, and let the concubine in." ”

"Where is the girl, she is a guest from afar, how can she say that she is disgusted?" Although Peng Yue didn't expect Xue Qi to say this, he knew in his heart that the purpose of Xue Qi's coming would not be so simple, because Xue Qi didn't know his own mansion at all, if he hadn't inquired in advance, how could he come straight away, but Peng Yue was inconvenient to expose it in person.

"I just saw my lord in this courtyard... There are a few people, especially the maids, and even the people who serve the tea are also male servants, but... It's a pity that it's such a big and good house. Xue Qi Yingying smiled, as if she was joking, and as if she was pulling a homely routine, without any sense of restraint.

"Oh? Haha..."Peng Yue didn't expect Xue Qi's words to be so "casual", but he didn't have any, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "There are no female dependents at home, and I usually live alone, so I don't need so many people." Peng Yue didn't tell Xue Qi that since the incident of Hongwei, he seemed to have a "heart disease", and dismissed most of the people in the house, especially the maids, and they didn't dare to stay alone.

When Peng Yue said this, Xue Qi was a little surprised. Last time Peng Yue said that he had lost his wife, and he hadn't visited the Qinglou or anything, Xueqi was surprised. Now seeing that Peng Yue is not a concubine in this mansion, there is not even a maid, and I can't help but wonder if Peng Yue has some hidden illness.

"The girl didn't really come here today just to say thank you, did she?" Before Xue Qi could speak, Peng Yue took a sip of hot tea and opened his mouth with a smile.

"Huh?" Xue Qi didn't expect Peng Yue to ask so directly, but her expression immediately became relaxed, "What the adults said is good, the concubine came this time, one is to thank you, and the other is to apologize. ”

"Oh? Apologize? Peng Yue put down the teacup and looked at Xue Qi with some curiosity, "I don't know what the girl is sorry for?" ”

"The concubine is apologizing for my little sister, last time in Lishui Courtyard, the little girl... The frivolous behavior angered the adults, and I hope the adults will not blame them. ”

"Oh... It turned out to be this matter..."Peng Yue laughed, his expression was not unnatural, "There is no need to mention it again, in fact, that day... I also have some... Reckless, the words are a bit heavy, and I hope the girl doesn't mind. ”

Xue Qi'e raised her eyebrows, her surprise could not be concealed, she really couldn't understand that Peng Yuezhizun would say such a thing, "My lord is kind, and the concubine is admired." ”

"What kind and unkind..."Peng Yue smiled and waved his hand, "Actually, after thinking about it, it was me... There's some fuss, you guys... Being in the middle of... A little helpless, I understand, and I won't blame it. ”

At first, Xue Qi was extremely moved when she heard what Peng Yue said, but when she heard it, she suddenly felt a little strange in her heart, especially the sentence "You are in it" seemed to be comforting, but it sounded like an insult to Xue Qi, which made Xue Qi very uncomfortable, but it was not easy to attack, after all, what he said... It is indeed true, and it is also very polite.

I saw Xue Qi frowning suddenly, but she quickly stretched out, "My lord misunderstood, in fact, we usually ... It's not a frequent pick-up, and you don't need to... There is no need to use that kind of means, in our bones... It's not a lowly person..."After Xue Qi finished speaking, she raised her head slightly and met Peng Yue's gaze, with some firmness and a little stubbornness in her eyes, which are not usually common.

In fact, Xue Qi is naturally docile on weekdays, and she will not explain this kind of thing, especially if the male guest says anything cheap, Xue Qi just laughs, isn't this the life of a happy joke? What is your own idea? But for some reason, as soon as she heard Peng Yue say this, Xue Qi felt very uncomfortable. Maybe it's because I'm not in that Lishui Courtyard today, so Xue Qi feels as if I've got rid of some restraints, maybe it's because Jiaowa made a cheap move that day, which is easy for people to despise and misunderstand, and Xue Qi, who is a little stubborn, can't stand this misunderstanding, maybe she feels that the person in front of her is different from Yan Shifan's people, because the regular guests of the party said this, and a very "decent" person said this, giving people a different feeling, out of a kind of heart, people don't care about being despised by the "villain", but they don't want to be despised by the "gentleman"...

"The girl misunderstood..."Peng Yue didn't expect Xue Qi to have this reaction, "I don't mean to despise it, it's a girl... It's too sensitive..."

"I..." Xue Qi just wanted to explain, and suddenly remembered the purpose of her trip, if she talked too much, she would inevitably lose her words, so she had to keep silent, but there seemed to be a depression in her chest, which made her a little depressed.

"Actually, the girl doesn't have to explain much..."Peng Yue smiled and looked at Xue Qi who was trying to show a very natural appearance on the side, "I know what happened that day, and even I know what the girl is here for today..."

"Oh?" Hearing Peng Yue say this, and then looking at his demeanor, the unhappiness in Xue Qi's heart disappeared, replaced by curiosity and a little worry, she began to regret that she shouldn't have explained just now, but she still had to force her composure on the surface, "Didn't you tell Master Peng about the meaning of the concubine?" ”

"Does the girl still want to deceive me?" Peng Yue smiled lightly, "It was the East Building that asked you to come, right?" ”

"Huh? Well... No, I'm here today because of my sister's disrespectful behavior that day, so I'm here to apologize to the adults on her behalf..."Although Xue Qi was forced to calm down on the surface at this time, the hand under her unconsciously picked up the corner of her clothes.

"Haha... Well, the girl doesn't want to say it, so I won't ask more..."Peng Yue took two sips of tea, looking relaxed, "But I'm curious in my heart, it's okay that Donglou is familiar with you, but it's still worth covering up for him like this..."

"Ahh

"Hehe... Miss Xueqi is a smart person, she should understand that sometimes the more she hides it, the easier it is to make people suspicious..."Peng Yue said as he turned the lid of the cup on the table as if playfully, "Donglou is also a smart person, in fact, he asked you to come here, it was a superfluous move, if I don't even understand this kind of thing, then what are you still messing with in the officialdom, are you right?" After Peng Yue finished speaking, he looked at Xue Qi with a smile and a little evasive in his eyes.

"The concubine doesn't know what the adults understand, but... Now that the adults have made it clear, the concubine is not easy to say. ”

"You're a smart man." Peng Yue stopped what he was doing and leaned forward, "You told Donglou that day... I really don't mind, I... Understand a piece of his heart, after all... I don't even have a lady in this house..."

"Master Peng..."Xue Qi looked at Peng Yue with some confusion, she didn't know what Peng Yue wanted to say sentence by sentence.

"Please ask the girl to go back and tell Donglou that I have received his intentions..."Peng Yue knew that some words had to be clicked to the end, not only to let Yan Shifan know that he was not unaware, but he would not puncture Yan Shifan's thoughts, after all, his interactions with the Yan family knew how to maintain this tacit understanding between each other.

"Yes..."Xue Qi responded woodenly, she was indeed surrounded by Peng Yue, or she was impressed by Peng Yue's domineering and firmness inadvertently, although she was gentle and elegant, she could also be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"So, does the girl admit that Donglou sent you this time?" Peng Yue looked at Peng Yue with some playfulness.

"Oh..."Xue Qi realized at this time that she had fallen for Peng Yue's "dang", and couldn't help blushing and lowering her head.

"Actually, as soon as the girl entered the door, I knew the girl's intentions..."Peng Yue leaned back a little lazily, "It's just that I'm a little curious, why did the East Building send you here for a trip." ”

"Sister Jiaowa is, naturally... I can't pull the skin to come here, after all, last time..."

"No... I didn't mean that..."Peng Yue smiled and shook his head, "I mean, why did the girl make a special trip for this matter. I've heard of the girl's fame, so I didn't have to come in person... Explain, I don't know the girl and the East Building... It should be a lot of intersection, right? ”

When Xue Qi heard this, her expression was a little unnatural, as if she wanted to escape, she looked out the window, was stunned for a moment, and then lowered her head and said slowly, "Lord Yan... It's the benefactor of a concubine..."

"Oh... No wonder..."Peng Yue smiled, and suddenly understood why when he first met Xue Qi, she and Yan Shifan were so intimate and ambiguous, and Yan Shifan was not to Xue Qi like an ordinary prostitute, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really a flower inserted in cow dung.

"Lord Yan... It's just a concubine's benefactor..."Xue Qi saw Peng Yue smiling meaningfully, thinking that he was laughing at herself, and her face couldn't help but be a little hot.

Maybe in the eyes of others, it is a blessing for Yan Shifan to be his benefactor, and it is even a thing worth showing off. But she also learned about Peng Yue's official position from Yan Shifan, and then thought about Yan Shifan's fat head and big ears, so in Peng Yue's opinion, this is not a "glorious" thing.

However, Peng Yue didn't care, and took the lead in breaking Xue Qi's embarrassment, "Lord Yan is deeply favored by the emperor, and it is a matter of time before he enters the cabinet to pay respects to the prime minister. The east building favors it, and it is not a loss. ”

Peng Yue originally knew that Xue Qi and Yan Shifan were extraordinary, so he also paid great attention to his words, and always referred to him as "East Building" to show his closeness, and at this time he heard that Yan Shifan was Xue Qi's benefactor, so he was naturally happy to say a few good words about Yan's father and son in front of Xueqi, to "appease" the hearts of Yan's father and son through Xueqi's mouth.

When Xue Qi heard this, she didn't feel good in her heart, and there was a layer of mist in front of her, but she still barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and replied a little hoarsely, "Thank you, sir." ”

"Since the adult just said that he already knew the intention of the concubine, it is inconvenient for the concubine to bother more, so I will retire." Xue Qi sniffed, bit her lip, got up and saluted Peng Yue, and then gestured and left.

"Girl, go slowly, I won't be far away." Peng Yue got up from his seat, saluted Xue Qi, and beckoned his subordinates to see off the guests.

Looking at the back of Xue Qi leaving, a smile appeared on the corner of Peng Yue's mouth, "Since the Yan father and son are smart enough to figure out, you might as well start with these Qinglou women, it seems that you will really have to make a few more trips to Lishui Courtyard with Yan Shifan in the future...
