Chapter 220: Pei Yin
When he woke up from the dream, Duan Yuzhi was still a little dazed.
He vaguely remembered that he dreamed of the past many years ago, although he was still very young at that time, but what happened would leave traces, and after getting a clue, it was not far from the day when he remembered it again.
Many years ago, Ah Yu was still a very inconspicuous child.
Mrs. Wen rarely takes Ah Yu out of the house, and she can only be seen at banquets that resemble family dinners.
Mrs. Duan often took Duan Yuzhi to the Wen Mansion, always smiling and watching him play with Ah Yu, that time was always very lively, so that when he thought about it now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
But Master Duan is different.
He usually cares about family and country affairs, and rarely cares about these small things.
Originally, he should only know that there was such a person as Ah Yu in the world, but he would not let Duan Yuzhi take the initiative to get close to Ah Yu.
But he did exactly that.
Duan Yuzhi stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, it was he who told Master Duan about General Pei's search for Ah Yu, which made him interested in Ah Yu.
At that time, Pei Tianyi was the most crazy time, he did not have the slightest scruples between his actions, he only acted according to his own will, and the flaws left were countless.
If it weren't for Pei Tianyi's deep persistence, how could Master Duan's calculations come true so easily.
When Duan Yuzhi came back to his senses, he found that he had unconsciously swayed to the door of the Wen Mansion, the vermilion gate was closed, and he walked around the courtyard wall of the Wen Mansion to the west lane, the tree planted in the wall stretched its branches and leaves, he looked at the tree, and in a trance, it seemed that he had seen Ah Yu.
When she was a child, Ah Yu was very squeamish, even a little stumbling could make her red eyes, she was the only one who was the most persistent in his affairs.
Every time she would pester Wen Huan to take her out, Wen Huan was not always able to do what she wanted, at that time she would secretly step on the tree by the wall, climb to the courtyard wall, and talk to him under the wall.
Sometimes you don't say a word, you just look at each other, and you can laugh out loud.
It's a pity that such a simple joy may never be seen again.
Just when Duan Yuzhi was immersed in the memories of the past, he suddenly heard a small sound coming from the wall, and he subconsciously hid in the shadows of the alleyway and hid himself.
Many years later, it has long been a matter of fact.
Ah Yu had grown a lot, and the tree growing in the corner had become much taller, and when she tried to climb the courtyard wall with that tree, it somehow became extremely difficult.
Up and down, stumbling, Qingrui on the side couldn't stand it.
She stepped forward to tidy up Ah Shen's clothes, and took a few leaves from Ah Yu's hair, and whispered to Ah Yu: "If the girl really wants to go out, send someone to talk to Mrs. directly, why do you have to go over the wall here!" ”
Aoba also said on the side: "Girl, don't climb the tree anymore, look at your clothes, how dirty they have become." If you really want to get over this wall, why don't I get you a ladder to get over! ”
Ah Yu happened to be wearing a light-colored dress today, and the lower skirt had become gray.
Hearing this, she looked down at her clothes, paused, and said, "The clothes are already dirty, if I can't climb the wall, then all the hard work I have done is not in vain!" ”
On weekdays, Ah Yu has not been so stubborn and wants to do one thing, so she has a firm attitude on her side, and Aoba and Qingrui next to her can only endure the words that come to their mouths, and help Ah Yu on the side, trying to make her go to the wall at one time.
After all kinds of efforts, in the end, it was Aoba and Aorui who climbed the wall first, and then pulled Ah Yu up from above.
The three of them sat on the wall, and they saw Ah Yu holding her chin with one hand, looking at the sky in the distance, and she didn't see any other movements.
After Qingye and Qingrui glanced at each other, their hearts were full of nothing to say.
Could it be that the girls climbed the wall so hard, just to be able to see the sky from a high place for a while!
Of course, it's not that simple.
Ah Yu looked at the sky and counted the time in her heart, the day her brother left Kyoto, she could no longer see death on his face, and when she returned to Kyoto, even the death on her father's face disappeared.
Her eyes seemed to have returned to normal because they had completed their mission, but the changes in her body still did not stop.
The wound that came out of thin air, only she could see and perceive, was like an invisible rope that was stuck around her neck, tightening little by little.
Fear is naturally there.
But after getting used to it, it doesn't seem to be something unacceptable.
If it was Wen Ru, she was grieving for the death of her father and mother at this time, and even because she couldn't accept the reality for a while, she secretly ran to her father's spirit at night to cry, and accidentally sprained her foot.
After spraining your foot, walking becomes a complicated thing.
When the pain appears on her, she can't be asked to pretend that nothing happened and endure the pain!
She could only find a way to make her sprain come naturally.
Ah Yu touched the ring on his waist: "Mao Mao said that Xie Huai'an sent me some things from the border pass, and because it was not good, they were sent directly to the door, and now they are all placed in Chunhefang, and it just so happens that I also want to eat the white sugar crisp of Chunhefang, so let's go out for a walk!" ”
As she spoke, she was about to jump down with her hands on the wall.
As a result, he was stopped by the green leaves and green stamen on the left and right.
Aoba was taken aback: "The girl can't jump directly, if she falls and gets hurt, what can she do?" ”
"Aoba is right, let's wait for Aoba and I to go down, and then pick up the girl from the bottom!" After Qingrui and Aoba discussed, the two jumped off the wall first.
Ah Yu got off the wall peacefully, except for stumbling twice when he landed, there was nothing bad about it.
It wasn't until the three girls left one after another that Duan Yuzhi walked out of the corner of the alleyway.
He also heard what Ah Yu said on the wall.
I thought that the only person in this world who would make Ah Yu so worried about him was him, but he didn't expect to really ask Xie Huai'an to take his position, and for a moment, he even wanted to rush directly to Ah Yu and ask her why she wanted to treat him like this.
It's just that what reason can he have to appear in front of Ah Yu now?
His father already felt that the Wen family had become a waste of chess, and even asked him to stay away from Ah Yu by name, so that he could cultivate a relationship with Xi Rou when he had free time. He has listened to his father's instructions since he was a child, and has never had the opportunity to disobey him.
This time was no exception.
On the way to Chunhefang, Ah Yu met Pei Yin.
Originally, according to the idea of being kind to others, she said hello to Pei Yin, stood on the street and greeted each other, and prepared to go their separate ways, who knew that Pei Yin's face changed instantly the moment she saw her.
It's not as friendly as usual, as if it's a bit like facing an enemy who killed his father.
In short, it's very fierce.
Ah Yu unconsciously took a step back, and subconsciously said: "Brother Pei should be there, and I won't bother you anymore, so I'll take a step first......
Although Pei Yin looked thin and weak because of his premature birth, he also stayed by Pei Tianyi's side when he was young, and the two were biological father and son, and even the murderous aura on his body was in the same vein. When he was angry, he looked particularly terrifying.
At least Ah Yu didn't dare to go up and joke with people.
She can't even hide.
Pei Yin's pupils were light brown, but at this moment they looked like a cloud of ink, he looked at Ah Yu expressionlessly, and said, "I'm just going out for a while, it's rare to meet Ah Yin on the road, why don't you go to the teahouse with me for a cup of tea?" ”
If it weren't for the bland tone, but listening to the meaning of the words, I thought that he really wanted to invite Ah Yu to the teahouse!
Ah Yu paused, and suddenly had an inexplicable intuition in her heart, if she rejected the person in front of her at this moment, she would regret it in the future.
Although she didn't know why she regretted it, after thinking about it carefully, she still agreed to Pei Yin's invitation.
The teahouse is newly opened, and the storyteller under the hall is a familiar person to Ah Yu.
Pei Yin went directly to the box on the second floor, and the little maid in the restaurant also took it for granted to greet him with a teapot: "Young Master Pei is still the same as usual today?" ”
Hearing this, Pei Yin seems to be a frequent visitor in the teahouse.
He stopped suddenly, didn't look at Ah Yu behind him, only stared at the carving on the door frame of the box for a long time, and then whispered, "You guys are here...... Forget it, you go to Chunhefang to see what other girls like to have dim sum, and pick up a few dishes that sell well......"
Ah Yu was slightly relieved when he heard what he said.
Who made Pei Yin have a black face since they met, and he looked very difficult to mess with, Ah Yin would naturally be worried when he saw it.
Before the little servant delivered the pastries from Chunhefang, Pei Yin sat by the window with a teacup, looking at the street outside the window, but did not talk to Ah Yu.
Ah Yu was a little panicked, pinched a piece of white sugar crisp from the dim sum plate, and ate it in small bites, the sweet and greasy taste quickly dispelled the shadow in her heart, and she ate the dim sum with all her heart, and even forgot that there was a Pei Yin in front of her who was very different from usual.
Pei Yin was silent for a long time before adjusting his mood.
He turned his head and was about to ask Ah Yu something, but he saw the little girl eating snacks defenselessly, looking stupid, as if she was sold and would help her count the money.
"How did the girl named Qingrui next to you get to Wen Mansion?"
Pei Yin put down the teacup in his hand and gently knocked on the window lattice, and the knocking sound woke up Ah Ying, who was indulging in snacks.
Ah Yu swallowed the last bite of the snack, tilted her head, and thought about it carefully, if Pei Yin asked someone else, she might only be able to say that she didn't know, but Qingrui was different.
"Most of the maids around me are born in the family, and if Qingrui is in words, she can barely be regarded as a family child!"
She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued: "Qingrui's mother is a descendant of my mother's maternal grandfather's family, and later became my aunt's companion and went to someone else's house, Qingrui is the child she gave birth to after leaving her maternal grandfather's house. Originally, Qingrui couldn't go to my house, but her mother was later sold to the dental store, and it happened to be sent to the Wen Mansion for people to choose. ”
It's just that Qingrui's mother was too sick, and even if she invited a doctor, she couldn't live longer.
Ah Yu looked at Pei Yin curiously: "Why did Brother Pei suddenly ask about Qingrui?" ”
The girl's innocent appearance seemed to be a provocation in Pei Yin's eyes.
He wanted to blurt out all the evil words in his heart, but when he met Ah Yu's eyes, he couldn't help but swallow all the words.
The person in front of him is the little girl who grew up with him as a sister and carefully cared for, even if the relationship between him and her may not be what he guessed, but the feelings he has paid since childhood are unrecoverable, how can he do nothing that happened.
"I just knew that Qingrui next to you is my nurse's child." Pei Yin answered Ah Yu's superficial question, barely suppressing the grievances in his heart.
In any case, Ah Shen can be said to be a child who grew up under his nose, and he knows that Ah Shen is not aware of the rumors outside, whether it is with him or with his father, Ah Yu is not aware of it.
Pei Yin sighed, and suddenly asked Ah Yu: "If one day, you suddenly find that your previous cognition is all wrong, what will you do?" ”
Ah Yu almost thought that Pei Yin had seen through her, her pupils constricted slightly, and soon she thought that she had never leaked Wen Ru's old things, so she was a little relieved.
She thought about it carefully, combined with her own experience, and replied to Pei Yin: "I probably still need to talk about things!" ”
"If the wrong thing doesn't hurt me and the people around me, then it's wrong, and there's nothing wrong with it." She paused, remembered Duan Yuzhi, and sighed, "If someone cheats on me, and because of me, he has the opportunity to hurt my father and brother and brother, then I would probably rather die with him than forgive anyone again!" ”
Just as Wen Ru did in his dream.
Although she didn't have the opportunity to take revenge in person, the secrets she found out would also be sent to the Wen family by Wen Ning, and when the time came, whether it was for the benefit of the letter or for something else, someone would avenge her.
The people of the Duan family will not end well.
Ah Yu's eyes were a little erratic, she carefully recalled the appearance of Wen Rugu when she died at the end of the dream, and she couldn't remember what was written in the letter she handed to Wen Ning, so she was very embarrassed.
In a trance, she seemed to remember the identity of the person behind the letter, but she couldn't remember the content of the letter.
Will it be wrong?
Pei Yin silently recited these four words in his heart, and he also wanted to make a mistake, but the facts he identified in his heart were more than 108,000 miles away from the truth he learned from his father. If he couldn't know the reason, then he probably wouldn't be able to look at Ah Yu with a normal heart.
In his heart, he didn't want to hurt Ah Yu.
And many times, for some reason, he always feels as if he owes Ah Yu.
has nothing to owe in this life, perhaps because he did something sorry for Ah Yu in his previous life, so that after being reincarnated, he still remembers it.
