The chill penetrated her whole body from the soles of her feet, and Liu Niang shivered, but her heart was clear.

What's the use of self-pity?

Now is the right way to think about getting out.

Thinking of this, Liu Niang bit her lip and glanced out the window, glanced at it a few times, and quickly turned her eyes back.

Pei Ji saw that her eyes were frightened, and couldn't help but say, "You don't have to be afraid, my father has gone to see Master Si Nong, you wait." ”

Wait a minute?

If you really wait, when Pei Qing is found out and the Pei family is involved, I am afraid that I will only "die of illness" silently.

Liu Niang hooked the corners of her lips mockingly, then held on to the bed and sat down slowly.

After sitting down......

Liu Niang lowered her head, twisted her sleeves with both hands, and murmured, "Big brother, I'm ...... I just want to see my father. He...... The Lu family likes to break their promises the most...... If you are not careful, you will never recover. ”

After saying it intermittently, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she hid her face and cried bitterly.

Pei Ji frowned.

The Lu family?

The Pei family has always been respectful of the Lu family, when did they have private dealings with the Lu family?

This doubt flickered, and then it was interrupted by crying.

Pei Ji was inexplicably a little uneasy, frowned and said, "Don't cry, alas! I approached my father to come up with ideas. He stomped his foot and turned and walked out of the inner room.

The door of the outer hall "squeaked", as if it was opened, and in an instant, there was a "squeak" sound.

As soon as the door opened and closed, a light breeze entered the room, and the veil swayed like water waves.

Waiting for the footsteps to go far away, Liu Niang put down her sleeves, the sky reflected on her forehead and cheeks, her eyes were clear and clear, and there was a little tears.

In the outer courtyard, the servant led Pei Kang to the porch of the study, and saw that the door was ajar, and the servant gave a salute outside the door: "My lord, Pei Si asks to see my lord." ”

The room was silent.

Isn't it already ready to be seen?

The servant's face flashed with doubt, he frowned and thought about it, and saluted the door again: "My lord, Pei Sizhi has something to ask to see your lord." ”

This time he raised his voice a little higher.

The room was still silent.

It seems that this adult surnamed Pei is unhappy, and the adult is deliberately drying him.

The servant's eyes rolled, and he squinted at Pei Kang and said, "I want to come to my family, my lord is busy with official business, and I am distracted at this time, so please wait for a while." ”

Too busy to speak?

Pei Kang's eyes flashed, and he nodded with a smile: "My lord is in charge of the world's taxes, and he is really busy." I'll just wait. ”

This sentence sounds casual at first glance, but if you think about it in detail, Pei Kang is not only in charge of the royal family's money, but also in charge of the taxes of the world's rivers and mountains.

In terms of official positions, he and Li Shu are both one of the Nine Qings, and they really do not distinguish between Zhong and Bo.

When his words fell, Li Jiao smiled in the room and said lightly: "Recently, there have been frequent disasters in the south, and the Queen Mother wants to order a reduction in taxes...... Pei Fu please. ”

Who dares to compare with the Queen Mother?

Pei Kang's heart sank, and when he heard that he was commensurate with his official position, he brushed the hem of his clothes and stepped into the threshold.

There are two rows of couches on both sides of the room, and a large desk is placed on the top facing the door.

"Hmm." Li Shu put down the scroll, raised his head from behind the table, swept his eyes towards him, pointed to the couch with a smile and said, "Pei Fucheng is free." ”

This person does not leave the "mansion" every word, and is clearly prepared to ignore personal relations and only talk about official affairs.

Pei Kang frowned, squinted his eyes and smiled: "The boss is highly virtuous, how dare Qingyan be presumptuous in front of adults?" Kiyohiko sat down. He swept his eyes left and right, picked the last seat of his left hand and sat down.

He sat down, and the servant went into the house to serve tea, and then quietly withdrew.

Looking at the posture of this old man, he planned not to speak first.

Pei Kang thought for a moment, leaned over to the top, raised his hand and said, "Since Lord Sinong is busy with official business, Qingyan will make a long story short. ”

"Hmm." Li picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and put it down, then raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "Pei Sizhi has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

What but it doesn't hurt to talk about it, pretend to be confused?

Pei Kang's eyes flashed a little annoyance, so he didn't mention Liuniang first, only put his elbow on the edge of the table, and then asked in a gossip: "I just listened to the adults, but the Queen Mother wants to reduce taxes again?" ”

"Hmm." Li Jiao raised his hand and stroked the long beard under his chin, and squeezed it twice, then he gestured, looked at him and asked: "Didn't the Queen Mother also recruit Pei Fucheng into the palace yesterday?" ”

Yesterday the court was dispersed, and Empress Lu summoned Li Jiao to return to Weiyang Palace, and most of the court and the court were seen, but Pei Kang was recruited to enter the official after the evening meal, and it was led by the palace people to the side door.

Pei Kang's heart shook slightly, because he was not sure whether Li Jian really knew, or he heard a little wind and casually tried it, so he rolled his eyes and said haha: "The queen mother is just asking about some other trivial matters, since Li Sinong is busy with official business, this official will take the little girl back to the house and come to visit another day." ”

Originally, Li choked the corners of his lips with a smile, waiting for him to finish......

Li Wei smiled slightly, leaned back, and leaned comfortably on the back of the couch: "Ling Yuan is very smart, and she is very much loved by Webster, and Webster wants to keep her in the house for a while." ”

How long will you stay?

It seems that this old man is determined not to let go.

Pei Kang was a little annoyed just now, and at this time, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and hooked Fu Pi and smiled without smiling: "The eldest lady has both virtue and appearance, and the little girl is by her side, Qingyan is very happy." Kiyohiko...... Leave! ”

Pei Kang raised his hand and shook his head upward, got up and stood up.

His face was a little ugly.

Li Jiao's eyes were uncertain, and he looked at him lightly and said, "In this case, who is there!" ”

The servant under the corridor came out in response and bowed outside the door: "The slave is here." ”

Li Cho slowly ordered: "Send Pei Fucheng." When he had finished speaking, he picked up the scroll again, and looked at it with his head bowed idly.

"Yes." The servant answered in a deep voice, and then turned to Pei Kang again: "Master Pei......." ”

It's like...... The posture of getting people out.

This old horseman, one day......

Pei Kang's eyes flashed with shame, and he strode out of the room.

When he came out of the outer courtyard, he let out a long breath.

Li Cho is in charge of the world's taxes, and ordinary people respond to him and fall second, the point is that this person himself is like a sword hidden box, if he doesn't attack, it is enough, if he has an attack......

The deeper he thought about it, the more ugly Pei Kang's face became.

"Father." Pei Ji waited outside for a long time, and when he saw his father out of the courtyard, he didn't care if his face was good-looking or ugly, so he stepped forward and pulled him and said, "Liu Niang wants to see his father." ”

Hearing him mention Liuniang again at this time, Pei Kang's face became more and more gloomy, and he coldly threw off his sleeves and said, "Tell her not to make trouble again." ”

His voice was as condensed as iron, as if full of disgust.

Pei Ji was stunned for a moment.

was just stunned for a moment, thinking of the words that Liu Niang said at the end, Pei Ji swept his eyes around, and asked urgently: "Can my father have private dealings with the Lu family?" Listen to what Liu Niang said about taking chestnuts in the fire, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed, and your father ...... But is that really the case? ”

What the?

Hearing him ask at first glance, Pei Kang banged on the top of his head, and his feet shook a few times.

Only a few henchmen knew about this, how could she know?

She even knew!
