Chapter 187: Weird
What happened in Pei Yin's study, Xie Huai'an only rotted the words he heard in his stomach, and no one said anything.
In fact, even if he wanted to tell Ah Yu, he couldn't find Ah Yu for a while.
Since receiving the letter sent by Pei Yin, Mrs. Wen San found out that she was not quite right about Ah Yin's dating situation, although she trusted her little girl very much, but there were many lies in the outside world, and their little girl was both innocent and kind, and she was easily deceived.
With such a thought, Mrs. Wen detained Ah Yu by her side, wanting to let Ah Yu distinguish at a glance whether others were sincere or false through words and deeds.
Knowing how to make good use of people is a very practical skill, she used to watch Ah Shen's management of the people around her, and thought that Ah Shen was born to understand this.
But when she put Ah Yu next to her, she realized that those were just her illusions.
Where does Ah Yu know what to know and make good use of people, she is a master who listens and believes.
Third Lady Wen sighed again: "Ah, you are really ...... What my mother said was so difficult to understand, you really didn't listen to a word? ”
Ah Yu thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't understand at all, but why did my mother suddenly tell me about this?" My mother knows that Ah Yu is not very smart, and she often can't hear others pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, but didn't my mother say that Ah Yu doesn't need to learn that, as long as he does things according to his own heart? ”
Third Lady Wen looked worried: "...... I was wrong in the past, but now that you've grown up, you can't listen and believe as much as you used to, you have to start learning whether what others say is true or false......"
"Will my father and mother and my brother lie to me? Would you lie to me? Ah Yu asked.
Mrs. Wen was a little hesitant, and remembered the last time she persuaded Ah Shen to go to Weizhou, so she said: "Naturally, we won't lie to Ah Shen, even if there is really something that we can't say to Ah Shen, we will explain the reason to Ah Shen in advance, instead of making up lies to deceive Ah Shen......"
No matter how bad it is, it is half of what he says, and he will not deliberately deceive Ah Yu after all.
Ah Yu didn't know what Mrs. Wen didn't say, she listened to those literal meanings, so she smiled and said, "As long as my father and brother don't lie to me!" Others, I wouldn't believe them that much. ”
Having said that, it is naturally not only these three people that Ah Yu can trust.
Other people are from cause to effect, but Ah Yu is the opposite, she sees the result first, and then she can pay her trust with peace of mind.
Just like Qingye is like Qingrui, it is precisely because she knows that they will give their lives for her in the future, so she will rest assured that she will let them stay by her side. Even when she woke up every morning and saw two maids who were miserable deaths, she never thought of keeping them away.
is like Duan Yuzhi and Xi Rou, the two of them are always very friendly to Ah Yu on the surface, but in the eyes of Ah Yu who sees the future, those friendships are tantamount to arsenic wrapped in honey, and they will inevitably die or be injured after encountering them.
She's already suffered a loss once, so she's never going to let herself fall in the same place a second time.
As for the ability to recognize people that Mrs. Wen wanted to teach Ah Yu, Ah Yu felt dispensable from the bottom of her heart.
She knew she couldn't learn, so why spend all her time on things she couldn't?
Mrs. Wen looked at Ah Yu's innocent appearance, and the embarrassment in her heart was about to materialize. If you know it, don't believe the rumors that the daughter wants to be pampered, the little girl in their family is a little too pampered, no matter how much she persuades, there is nothing to make up for.
I had to make up for it from other places.
Although she knew that Ah Yu couldn't learn the skills of reading people, Mrs. Wen still took people with her, hoping that the little girl would see more and see more, and she would naturally be able to distinguish the difference between sincerity and falsehood.
In a flash, it was time for the academy to open again.
Ah Yu was finally able to go out and relax, since Xia Yiwen left the White Horse Academy, she has not made other friends in the academy, and the only one who still has contact is Xie Huai'an.
She accepted Xie Huai'an's invitation and crossed the clear road in front of Mrs. Wen, and then went out with great interest.
The little girl stepped out of the door with her front foot, and Mrs. Wen couldn't help but sigh.
Mama Liu was puzzled: "Does Madame want the girl to stay at home?" Other than that, she couldn't imagine that Third Lady Wen would sigh for any other reason.
Mrs. Wen San shook her head: "She will go to the White Horse Academy in a few days, this is a good thing in the morning, I tell her now to let her stay, and how long can I keep her!" I don't know why the old man let the child of the Pei family also go to the White Horse Academy, if that kid said some nonsense to Ah Yu, how could it be good......"
If her biological mother dies early, and her father still has a crush on a child the same size as her, she will definitely not give up. Both her father and the innocent child would be the object of her hatred, even though she knew that the child was innocent.
Mama Liu, who had been waiting by Mrs. Wen's side, was naturally clear about what had happened at the beginning, but she had a new perspective at this time.
"After so many years, I haven't seen any action from the Pei family, maybe that one has seen it and is no longer attached to our girl?"
Their girls will be able to talk about marriage in two years, and the general of the Pei family is also old, and he is a person who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and the wounds on his body are stacked one on top of the other, and when he retires from the battlefield, he can still have a few years to live.
Looking at his infatuation with his wife, if he still regarded their girls as Miss Cousin, how could he be willing to let 'Miss Cousin' watch him pass away, leaving 'Miss Cousin' alone!
Mrs. Wen thought about it, but finally felt that she couldn't pin her hopes on others.
She asked someone to find Wen Huan again, and talked carefully with him for a long time.
The central idea of the conversation was to try to eliminate the possibility of the Pei family's child getting close to Ah Yu.
Wen Huan listened to Mrs. Wen's dislike for the Pei family, and suddenly felt very weak in his heart.
He still remembers that on the Lantern Festival night that year, it was Pei Yin and his family's subordinates who rescued Ah Yu, if it weren't for their help, maybe he would have lost Ah Yu a long time ago. Let him stop Pei Yin and don't allow Pei Yin to get close to Ah Yin, he can't do it.
However, in front of Mrs. Wen, he could only deal with this matter with a bitter face.
On the other side, Ah Yu finally met Xie Huai'an and Pei Yin in the box of the restaurant.
At the beginning of August, the weather was still a little hot.
The subordinates who followed Ah Yu were arranged in the lobby downstairs, and Xie Huai'an also asked people to arrange meals for them. As for Ah Yu, under the leadership of Xiao Er of the restaurant, he came to the box that Xie Huai'an had booked in advance.
When she opened the door, she saw Xie Huai'an and Pei Yin sitting side by side in the house, Ah Yu subconsciously walked into the room quickly, and then closed the door with her backhand, blocking the shopkeeper who was following her directly outside the door.
The three of them stared at each other, and no one spoke first, and there was silence in the box.
The confrontation was interrupted by the shopkeeper who was knocking on the door outside, and when he was locked out, there was a moment of confusion, but he quickly reacted.
Originally, he planned to leave directly, but before turning around, he suddenly thought that the people in the box hadn't ordered yet, and they said at first that they would wait for everyone to come, and then let the shopkeeper deliver the menu in the restaurant.
The shopkeeper knocked lightly on the door of the box and asked in a low voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to send some more tea?" ”
Asking directly about ordering food is absolutely not possible, so you can only knock on the side.
The door of the box trembled slightly, and someone must have reopened the locked door behind the door.
Soon I heard the male guest inside say, "Come in and say." ”
The shopkeeper carefully pushed open the door and took two steps into the box, he bent over with low eyebrows, and did not deliberately look at the people in the room.
Xie Huai'an ordered a few dishes that she liked to eat according to Ah Yu's taste, and said to the shopkeeper: "Pick up the signature dishes of your restaurant again, and come with two or three dishes," After speaking, he looked at Pei Yin again, "Do you have any taboos?" ”
Pei Yin glanced at Ah Yu with a complicated expression, and shook his head at Xie Huai'an.
Ah Yan was far away and didn't hear his whisper clearly, Xie Huai'an sat next to Pei Yin and heard his words clearly.
He said that he and Ah Shen had exactly the same taste.
Needless to mention, Xie Huai'an already knows it.
While waiting for the food to come, the three people present passed the time by small talk.
I don't know which topic was mentioned first, but in the end, Pei Yin was talking alone, and the other two people were listening to him.
He talked about what happened to his father, Pei Tianyi, on his way back to Beijing.
"Originally, the emperor had already issued a holy decree, promising my father to stay at the border to recuperate, and there was no need to rush back to Kyoto. But in fact, his father's condition has only improved, and he is already preparing to return to Beijing. When Pei Yin said this, he couldn't help but glance at Ah Yu, and he couldn't tell whether his father was in a hurry to return to Beijing, whether he was doing things for the emperor, or he wanted to take advantage of the Wen family's defenselessness to secretly meet Ah Yu.
"Father, he was in a hurry to return to Kyoto, and with the reminder of you and me, he still chose the shortest road, but when he reached the Tiger Leaping Gorge, he paused for a moment."
Pei Yin suddenly stood up and walked to Ah Yu's side: "If it weren't for your reminder, even if it was raining heavily when they passed by Tiger Leaping Gorge, they wouldn't stop, and when Tiger Leaping Gorge collapsed, none of them would be able to escape." When my father returns to Beijing, he will definitely come to thank him! ”
If it weren't for the last sentence, Ah Yu would probably be happier.
She watched Pei Yin bend down in front of her, said words of thanks to her, and thought of her mother's repeated orders to ask her not to have any contact with the Pei family, and couldn't help but whisper to Pei Yin at this time: "That, your thanks, I can understand it, so I won't come to thank you, is it okay?" ”
Knowing how the Wen family would react to their door, Pei Yin still had a puzzled expression at this time: "How can this be done!" ”
"You are my father's life-saving benefactor, how can you be so hasty in saving your life, you must repay it openly......
Ah Yu really felt in a dilemma at this time, how should she tell Pei Yin, her father and mother would never welcome people from their Pei family to visit, but if she said no directly, it would hurt others! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Xie Huai'an with anticipation, she really couldn't handle Pei Yin, she could only hope that Xie Huai'an could help her say a few words.
Xie Huai'an is still a little out of the situation at this time.
Before Ah Yu arrived, Pei Yin also told him about Pei Tianyi. At that time, he said that Pei Tianyi would be able to arrive in Kyoto in about five or six days.
And at that time, he clearly said that Pei Tianyi wanted to invite Ah Yu to have a meal alone, because he knew that the Wen family did not like them, so he wanted to ask him to help organize a dinner, and let him come forward to invite Ah Yu when the time came, and then hide the news that Pei Tianyi would be there.
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
Although it was indeed Ah Yu who reminded him, it was General Pei himself who made the final decision. Ah Yu doesn't seem to want to take on the false name of this life-saving benefactor, it is better to wait for General Pei to come back, I will organize a dinner, everyone has a meal together, if you have any words of thanks, you can say it at the dinner table, and it's okay. ”
Xie Huai'an held back for a long time and said such a thing.
After he finished speaking, he looked left and right, and saw that Ah Yu breathed a sigh of relief and cast an admiring glance at him, while Pei Yin on the other side also nodded at him, obviously very satisfied with his words.
Suddenly, I figured out why Pei Yin told him the reason for the matter in advance!
Xie Huai'an touched the tip of his nose and felt a little ashamed of his admiration for Ah Yu.
The small talk is over for the time being.
Not only because Xie Huai'an made a good suggestion, but also because the shopkeeper of the restaurant has already started to serve food.
After the meal, Ah Yu thought about the General Pei who had been delayed on the road for more than a month and had not been able to return to Kyoto, if he didn't come back, she would have to go to the White Horse Academy, and when the time came, she would wander between the academy and other courtyards every day, and Ah Yu might not be able to see General Pei again.
"When will General Pei come back?" Ah Yu asked Pei Yin.
Pei Yin smiled: "Father's things are almost done, and in the letter sent back two days ago, he said that he was ready to leave for Beijing, and he would be able to arrive in Kyoto in three or five days." ”
The young man on the other side smiled gently, but Ah Yu somehow felt a little strange.
The tone of his speech was inexplicably very similar to that of her brother, and every time her brother mentioned her father, she would also say in such a tone, that is, let her listen to it, and it was obvious that her brother was talking about their father, not other irrelevant people.
Now Pei Yin is obviously talking about his own father, that is, General Pei's, but Ah Yin sounds as if he is talking about her father, which makes her feel weird.
