Shen Xitong walked over and said to Ning Yu and Liluo, "I don't want to stay here, let's go." ”

Ning Yu curiously glanced in the direction where Xitong came over, and saw Lin Chongyi alone in place, she asked, "Why do you have a red nose, is he bullying you?" After speaking, she glared at Lin Chongyi.

Shen Xitong shook his head, not wanting to say anything, Ning Yu had no choice but to reply, "Okay, okay, let's take a look, I heard that there are better ones." ”

Walking out of this garden, several of them walked around the rockery, and there were a lot of huge green bamboos planted around the rockery, which seemed to be particularly shady here.

Shen Xitong's face was still not very good-looking, and he didn't walk for long, when he saw a pavilion in front of him, Ning Yu proposed, "Let's go, let's go to the front and rest for a while." ”

Some of the people I met on the way, although they pointed some fingers at Xitong and Liluo, they were all glared back by Ning Yu's murderous eyes, after all, she was the daughter of a great general, and she was very difficult to mess with.

Liluo nodded, but as soon as they were about to go over, a group of people came in front, and it seemed that they were also heading towards the pavilion, and Shen Xitong hurriedly said after seeing it, "I don't want to go." ”

Ning Yu raised her eyes and saw that it was Pei Qixuan and Pei Jia, and there was a pale-faced girl beside them, knowing that the relationship between the Pei family and the Shen family was not very good, she was also a little hesitant to go.

Liluo is the opposite of them, she is very interested in them, Pei Jia is very scheming, will this rumor have anything to do with her, she really wants to come forward and meet them for a while, she whispered to Ning Yu and Xitong, "Two sisters, how about we go and chat with them, I want to know if they have anything to do with these rumors." ”

Shen Xitong was a little hesitant, this Pei Jia looked at her a hundred times unpleasantly, and she was not embarrassed by her at this moment.

Just as the three of them were thinking, Pei Qixuan took the initiative to stride over.

He is wearing a beautiful blue coat today, with a wide belt with a Buddha's head and a green dragon and phoenix pattern tied around his waist, a black and dense hair, and a pair of clear eyes like a lake, looking leisurely, fresh and handsome.

After approaching, he saluted slightly, "Ning Yu, Xitong, this is Sister Liluo, there is a pavilion in front, why don't you sit together for a while?" His eyes were mainly looking at Xitong, and he seemed to have a strange feeling.

Ning Yu looked at the expressions of the two sisters beside her, and replied, "That's what I mean." ”

In the pavilion, Pei Jia and the other pale girl didn't seem to have anything to say, and the two were silent, but this Pei Jia, Liluo felt that compared to the calm she looked last time, this time she seemed to have a lot of things hidden between her eyebrows.

Pei Qixuan introduced, "Sister Liluo hasn't seen me, so I'll introduce myself first." After speaking, he looked at Liluo, Liluo nodded, Pei Qixuan said, "Under Pei Qixuan, the word Chuwen, is the eldest son of Pei Fu, who previously served in the Suzhou Salt Division, this is my sister Pei Jia, this is the daughter of Li Fu, named Li Zhu, nicknamed Jiang Er, Jiang Er encountered the sudden death of his father and brother, and temporarily lived in his uncle's house, this time he came out to relax." ”

Everyone saluted each other and said a few words of comfort to Jiang Er, and Jiang Er hurriedly stood in return.

Liluo looked at this Jiang Er, although her face was pale and she looked a little weak, but when she listened carefully, her breathing was smooth, not as serious as what she showed on her face, Liluo thought to herself, maybe she just wanted to deliberately pretend to be more weak and win Pei Fu's sympathy.

After Pei Qixuan finished speaking, his eyes looked at Xitong, but Shen Xitong didn't have much desire to speak.

Ning Yu suddenly remembered what Liluo had just said, so she asked, "I heard that Concubine Pei Guifei has appointed Pei Jia as her daughter-in-law, is this true?" She tried to steer the conversation to Pei Jia.

seemed to mention something that Pei Jia didn't want to mention, Pei Jia replied coldly, "It's about the famous family of my daughter, Jia'er can't afford it, Sister Ning Yu doesn't want to talk nonsense." It seemed to point to Shen Xitong with a meaning.

Shen Xitong had already been reassured about this, she ate a plum on the table with peace of mind, and made up for it after eating, "Concubine Pei said that she wanted the daughter of the Pei family to be her daughter-in-law, but it seems that Brother Jingyu didn't nod." ”

This sentence just hit Pei Jia's heart, she was a little angry at the moment, but she looked at everyone and forcibly pressed down, "You are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, you can't protect yourself, and you still have the leisure to meddle with other people's affairs." ”

Shen Xitong was also angry when he heard it, and the two looked at each other face to face, without giving in, almost tense.

Seeing this, Pei Qixuan hurriedly reprimanded Pei Jia, "You don't say a word, Xitong is just being confused and used, I believe this is not her original intention." ”

The pear fell aside and felt a little strange, isn't the Pei family a sworn enemy with the Shen family, how could Pei Qixuan help Xitong speak.

Jiang Er, who was sitting on the side, suddenly coughed, and the maid on the side hurriedly poured her a cup of tea.

Pei Qixuan turned around again and comforted, "Sister Jiang'er is okay, right?" ”

Jiang Er shook her head and smiled at Pei Qixuan.

Liluo gave Ning Yu a look, Ning Yu immediately understood, she pretended to be curious and asked, "You said, Xitong is so popular, could it be that someone did something behind his back and deliberately spread it?" ”

Liluo looked at the reactions of several other people curiously, Pei Qixuan looked frank, but he didn't reply for the time being, it seemed that he was also thinking about this problem.

Pei Jia seemed to be distracted elsewhere, didn't listen to Ning Yu's words, and drank tea alone, as if he had something on his mind.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

At this time, Liluo noticed Jiang Er's expression a little, she had a lot of bangs on her forehead, and some even covered her eyes, so that she could see that she was very vigilant, although she was drinking tea, she seemed to be very nervous about what Pei Qixuan was going to say.

With years of intuition, Liluo realized that there was something wrong with this Li Zhu, that is, Jiang Er.

Pear fell aside and suddenly said, "We won't mention this anymore." She suddenly smiled and asked Jiang Er, who was sitting in front of her, "How old is this sister this year, is she older or younger than Liluo?" ”

Ning Yu saw that Liluo suddenly led the words to Jiang Er, and felt a little strange in her heart.

"Let my sister laugh, I'm the one who came in May this year." Jiang Er's voice is very, very small, like a small mosquito.

"Oh? That's a little older than me, so why don't I call Sister Jiang'er. Riro said with a smile.

"No, no, no," Jiang Er coughed violently suddenly, and the more she coughed, the more she coughed, she couldn't speak at all, and a maid behind her hurriedly patted her.

Pei Qixuan hurriedly said, "Do you want to go to the doctor?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Er suddenly coughed non-stop, curious eyes around him followed. I don't know, I thought it was Liluo who abruptly Jiang Er.

Jiang Er coughed while trying to hurriedly say sorry.

Liluo hurriedly stood up, poured a cup of tea in his hand, walked over and put it in front of Jiang Er, and gently stroked her back with his hand, Liluo could clearly feel the sudden stiffness of Jiang Er's back.

Seeing the pear fall like this, the curious eyes around him disappeared.

After Jiang Er took the initiative to say goodbye, Xitong was also impatient, but Pei Jia, who was sitting opposite, also turned around and said goodbye. Seeing Xitong like this, Ning Yu and Liluo also hurriedly said goodbye.

Halfway down the road, seeing that there was no one around, Ning Yu asked Liluo curiously, "Did you find anything wrong with this Jiang'er?" ”

Riluo nodded, "She has too many questions, but I need more clues now to know what kind of person she is." ”

Ning Yu also nodded after hearing it, and whispered, "Not only Jiang Er, but also a maid in a pink dress behind her also has a problem, when Jiang Er coughs badly, there is only another maid in charge, this maid in a pink dress seems to be indifferent, and keeps staring at Jing Yu, I have never seen such a presumptuous maid." ”

Liluo was a little surprised when she heard it, "King Jin also came just now?" ”

"Well, he paused for a moment, glanced at the side, and walked forward, just as you were pouring tea for Jiang Er." Ning Yu replied.

Riro nodded, and the three of them continued to walk into the main hall.

Jing Yu didn't want to come to this so-called chrysanthemum banquet today, he didn't like to waste this kind of extra money on communication, but there was no way, his mother sent him a letter and told him to go and participate.

What Jingyu didn't expect was that Jiang Er from the Li Mansion actually came to participate in the Juyuan banquet, which was really strange, completely beyond his expectations, not to mention that the Li family's father and son were not cold, just say that the timid and cowardly temperament and weak body she showed should also refuse this kind of banquet.

Could it be that she has her own reasons for coming?

What is this reason, Jing Yu is very curious in his heart.

He had just seen Jiang Liluo in the garden deliberately testing this Jiang Er, and he was even more sure of his guess, but he only stopped a few steps and left, and did not make a statement.

Pei Jia seemed to have something to say to him, and when Jing Yu didn't take a few steps, he stopped him not far in front.

Jing Yu patiently put his hands behind his back, ready to listen to Pei Jia's words, Pei Jia held the handkerchief, and didn't know where to start for a while, after a while, the maid signaled to her that there was no one around, Pei Jia seemed to be iron-hearted, and said: "I know that my cousin has an opinion on me, and I do show favor to General Shen." ”

Jing Yu's eyebrows furrowed, it seemed that Pei Jia wanted to confide in him, however, now he didn't have this patience, he forcibly suppressed the qi in his chest.

"Cousin, Jia'er knows that she is wrong, and now Jia'er only has her cousin in her heart, and I hope my cousin can forgive Jia'er." After speaking, tears flowed down, and she was forcibly swallowed by Pei Jia, she said intermittently: "If my cousin doesn't want Jia'er, then Jia'er might as well die." ”

After Jing Yu heard this, he had already turned around and was about to leave, he replied: "Life or death, it is your own choice, don't attribute it to others, as a member of the Pei family, I know that you are carrying a lot of things, but I don't want to marry you, not because I have seen you fall in love with Shen Muzhou, but because." ”

Jing Yu paused slightly, but still said: "Because I am the same kind of person as Shen Muzhou, he didn't choose you, not just because you are the daughter of the Pei family, but because he saw something from you that he didn't like." ”

"What's that?" Pei Jia had regained her composure, her tears were wiped away by her, and she was shocked by Jing Yu's answer.

"In order not to offend Princess Wuning, she abused her punishment and almost killed a maid in the court, and you refused to come forward to say a word more, in the same way, you behaved perfectly on any occasion, did not offend anyone, showed your extraordinary wit and talent everywhere, even my mother concubine is very obedient to you, but there are always people in the world who are smarter than you, and they will always recognize some hypocritical masks, and it is precisely that Shen Muzhou and I are all this kind of people."

Jing Yu finished what he had to say, turned around and left, and at this point, he hoped that Pei Jia, a smart person, would not manipulate people from all walks of life in his own right.

Behind the rockery, only Pei Jia was left in place, she felt that behind her face, there was a tearing pain, she couldn't wait to roar at Jing Yu loudly, "I'm hypocritical, I can't offend people, I'm perfect, is it my fault, I want to do this, aren't these all required by the world, isn't this what a famous lady must do, live like a mask, is she willing, she also wants to speak for others, but once she goes wrong, who will serve her?" ”

She hated her identity as the daughter of the Pei family more and more.

Not long after Jing Yu left, Jia Feng quietly came to his side and said that someone from the ghost sect appeared outside the Jingshi City, Jing Yu nodded and hurriedly ran with the people.

Ning Yu and the others walked for a while, and finally arrived at the main living room of today's Graceland, the East Fence Hall.

The East Fence Hall is the main banquet hall of Graceland, it does not look like a banquet hall with a high gate, but is deliberately dressed up as the former residence of Mr. Jingjie (Tao Yuanming).

A thatched house, a small yard with flowing water through, planted with five willow trees, and some land was cultivated in the yard not far from the thatched gate, and some crops and chrysanthemums were planted in the field.

After opening the thatched house, after entering the east fence hall, the fragrance of chrysanthemums wafted in, and the inside has been arranged into a banquet appearance, the lady of the Lu Guogong Mansion seems to be still enjoying chrysanthemums and fishing in the back mountain at this time, and the people who come have to go around, and when they meet someone they know or a beautiful woman, they will chat a few words.

A noble girl who seemed to know Ning Yu stepped forward and said, "Sister Ning, there is a poetry club not far ahead, I heard that there is a great talent in the poetry club, Lin Chongyi, do you want to go and see it together." ”

After listening to this, Ning Yu asked, "Who else besides him?" ”

The woman smiled and said, "There are also several talented people from Suiyang Academy, Xie Bing's son Xie Ying, Duchess Lu Guo's nephew Jiang Jin, and a few scholars I can't name, I heard that Pei Gongzi also went over there." ”

Ning Yu smiled after hearing this, "Okay, you go first, a few of us want to go to the back mountain first." ”

The woman nodded and left.

Seeing Shen Xitong's appearance, Ning Yu said, "Actually, I have a lot to say to the two of you, let's go, let's go to the back mountain first, I heard that it is full of maple leaves, and it should be red." ”
