Pei Shu didn't speak, only picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes swept over Guo Zhun without a trace, and looked carefully.

Even though he is already over thirty years old, this attached horse master is still handsome and gentle, as if the years have never left traces on his body, especially the kind of cleanness between his eyebrows and eyes, like a young man.

In comparison, the eldest princess with heavy makeup looks more and more old.

The corner of Pei Shu's left mouth tilted to the side, put the teacup aside, and showed a casual smile on his face: "What His Royal Highness and the attached master said is very true, and the lower official also said this to His Majesty at that time, but His Majesty said, whether it is more or less, big or small, how much can you remember." ”

Speaking of this, his speech slowed down a bit, and continued: "A few days ago, Xingjibo Mansion had already taken the records of the maids and servants in the past three years, which is quite useful. ”

This is a reminder, if the eldest princess's mansion can also provide the same thing, Pei Shu will be able to pay the difference.

At least that's what the eldest princess thinks.

"Well, it's easy." The eldest princess whispered, her fingers tapped on the back of the chair, and the eyes hooked on Guo Zhun finally turned to Pei Shu's face, but it was only a light touch, and then moved elsewhere.

Obviously, the eldest princess is not happy to see Pei Shu's face.

"Someone!" She sat down in a different position and called out.

Geng Yuchang immediately walked in quickly, and asked on the ground, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

"Send someone to find Liu Changshi and ask him to bring the records of the people in the past three years." The eldest princess commanded, her eyes down, looking at her fingernails, as if she were studying the color of the dancome.

Geng Yuchang answered yes and hurriedly went.

"I'm afraid it's going to take a while, and I ask Master Pei to sit less." The eldest princess smiled, but her eyes were not raised, she still looked at her fingernails, and her tone was a little careless.

Pei Shu didn't care about it, nodded and smiled: "This is natural." ”

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and continued to drink tea.

For the purpose of his presence today, such a wait seems somewhat uncomfortable. Fortunately, Guo Zhun is a very competent master, elegant and knowledgeable, and seeing that Pei Shu has a strong martial atmosphere, he discussed the military book with him, and the eldest princess occasionally helped by the side, and the scene was not ugly.

After about a cup of tea, Geng Yuchang came back with Liu Changshi and a few little eunuchs, and the two of them carried in, and a total of three very heavy boxes were carried in, presumably containing records.

"Well, that's all there is to it." The eldest princess said lazily, while still holding her fingertips and pointing in the direction of the wooden box, she waved her hand again: "All retreat." ”

Liu Changshi and the others immediately bowed down and retreated, leaving only the box behind.

"This thing is weird and heavy, and it will take some effort for Master Pei to move back in a while." The eldest princess said a gossip with a smile.

Pei Shu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "There are a lot of martial artists around Xiaguan, and they have strength. After a pause, he arched his hand again, and his attitude became more attentive: "His Royal Highness Lao and Ma Ye have worked hard and helped the lower officials a lot." ”

These words were a little soft, and the eldest princess immediately covered her lips and smiled: "Master Pei is too polite." As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and chuckled: "Oh, this palace remembered, and this palace just invited the adult's subordinates to drink tea." ”

This is to release people.

Pei Shu narrowed his eyes.

A small punishment, but without touching the bottom line, this eldest princess is also quite disciplined.

After getting these three boxes of things, Pei Shu's errand was over, so he didn't stay longer and got up to say goodbye.

Guo Zhun, as the male host, was in charge at this time, and politely sent him to the gate, and saw that the carriage was far away before turning back.

However, when he came back, Guo Zhun did not go to the outer study, but sent his servants back to the verandah leading to the back garden alone.

The air was hot and humid, as if it contained rain, and the roof of the corridor was not erected with vines, and the sunlight slanted in, which was very scorching.

After not walking a few steps, Guo Zhun took out an elegant folding fan from his sleeve, and held it in his hand to guide the wind from time to time, but his steps were still unhurried, and the wide sleeves vibrated lightly with his steps, and he was calm all over his body.

At the end of the verandah is the back garden, at this time, there is no human figure in the garden, only the leaves of the trees are swaying in the wind, and there is a sound of "rustling", which should be accompanied by the continuous chirping of cicadas in all directions, and there is no sound next to it.

At this point, Guo Zhun let out a long breath, and he didn't know whether he was tired of walking, or he was tired of being disturbed by mundane things, so his pace slowed down a lot and walked away.

He didn't seem to have a definite destination, just followed the path of the garden, branching flowers and willows along the way, occasionally stopping in front of a tree or a flower to admire, and then continuing on.

Just walk and stop, a vermilion lacquer water pavilion appears in front of you, the green willows in front of the water pavilion are shady, bringing the cool breeze on the water, it is very refreshing.

He was about to move on, when a crisp laugh came from him and dispersed with the water.

Guo Zhun immediately stopped his steps, frowned, turned around and walked back, obviously not wanting to meet people.

However, God seemed to refuse to do what he wanted, and before he had walked a few steps here, a girl's coquettish voice came from behind him: "Father, why are you here?" ”

Guo Zhun paused, and a trace of emotion quickly crossed his face, but when he turned around, his expression returned to his previous gentleness, slowly shaking the folding fan, and said with a smile: "The weather is hot, take a cool look in the garden for my father." ”

Guo Yuan had already run over like a bird, and said happily: "I was playing hide and seek with the maids in the water pavilion, and I just saw my father through the window, and I came out." As he spoke, he pouted again, and said nonchalantly: "Father didn't say anything to see Gillian, father didn't hurt Gillian, Gillian was really sad." ”

Perhaps because of the heat, her bright face was flushed, and her eyes were bigger and brighter, and she became more and more gorgeous.

Looking at the smiling and carefree face in front of him, Guo Zhun suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart, and another face appeared in a trance in front of him.

The small, weak, pale little face, with small hands and feet, and a thin cat-like voice, called him "Daddy".

Guo Zhun took a deep breath, slapped the fan twice in disguise, fanned away the sudden illusion, and said with a forced smile: "Because my father didn't see Gillian, don't be annoyed." ”

"Father always does that." Guo Yuan pouted, his eyes inadvertently turned, and then turned to Guo Zhun's hand, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he said happily: "Ah, father, this fan was written by the prince's brother?" ”
