Chapter Twenty-Seven: Someone Comes

For several days in a row, Pei Yungui didn't talk to 4322, and even when the reward for completing the task was delivered, she had a calm face, and only locked herself in her room all day long.

4322 knew that the host had begun to face the first hurdle in the mission process, so it stopped bothering and let Pei Yungui think quietly.

After several days of rain, the rain finally dissipated, and the early morning light broke through the stratus clouds and sprinkled on the roof tiles, and the spring flowers bloomed again, as if they had been washed again, and the colors became more vivid.

Pei Yungui's door was tightly closed, and a few wisps passed through the gap, leaving a few beams of light in the room.

Bihuan and another maid in a crimson dress hurried to the courtyard and opened the door of Pei Yungui's house.

The maid in the crimson dress saw a big bag bulging out of the bed, and slapped her head, her face full of sadness.

"Oh, Miss, why haven't you gotten up yet, the father-in-law in the palace has already arrived at our house, saying that he wants to give Miss a message in person, Miss get up quickly."

The big bag on the bed moved, and a hairy head poked out of it, and Pei Yungui's haggard face as if he hadn't rested for several days was revealed.

"What are you talking about, someone from the palace wants to see me?"

She slept soundly, but she still faintly heard some words.

The maid in the crimson dress saw Pei Yungui's depressed face, her brows instantly wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", and she helped Pei Yungui up in two steps in three steps.

"Why do you have such a bad complexion, how should you go to meet people, please get up quickly, and the slave maid will wash and change your clothes for you." Don't snub the people in the palace. ”

"What are the people in the palace doing when they come to me?"

Pei Yungui yawned and let the maid help him to the dressing table, fiddling with his waist-length hair.

"The father-in-law didn't say much to us, but the Dao Sheng brought an edict to the young lady in person, and the specific situation will not be known until the young lady is present."

Bihuan also came up to help, put some powder on Pei Yungui's eyes to cover the dark green, and carefully traced his eyebrows and applied some lip grease.

The person in the bronze mirror looked much more energetic.

The maid in the crimson dress is a capable person, and her hands are also skillful, and she combed a hanging bun in three or two clicks, and inserted a jade hairpin given by Ji Qianxi in her hair, looking elegant and clean.

Pei Yungui changed his clothes, and was urged by the maidservant to rush to the front hall.

Wang Shengde had already waited inside, and after taking a sip of hot tea, he saw the figure of Huanting stepping into the door.

Pei Yungui bowed lightly, with a faint smile on his face.

"Little girl Pei Yungui, say hello to your father-in-law, I've been waiting for my father-in-law for a long time."

Wang Shengde put the tea cup on the desk, returned the salute, and got straight to the point.

"Don't worry, our family hasn't been sitting for long, and I came to disturb today on the order of the Holy Lord, to send a message to Miss."

"Father-in-law, please speak."

Wang Shengde cleared his throat, and the cool voice unique to the eunuch resounded in the living room

"Miss Racecourse was smart and resolute that day, and she had a meritorious escort, and the saint has been reading it, and wants to give Miss some rewards, but these few days have ......" Wang Shengde paused and lowered his voice, "Miss knows, the battle of the racecourse has killed many nobles, and now there are white flags hanging everywhere in the capital, and I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to give Miss something at this time." ”

Pei Yungui's smile was still not deep or shallow.

She probably knew what the reason for the system was enacting this task.

Sell the emperor's favor and seek the blessing of the Son of Heaven, so that he can have a foothold in the capital.

Pei Yungui said some polite words.

"Protecting the Son of Heaven is what my people should do, and if Yungui can help the saint, he will be satisfied and will not ask for anything in return."

"yes." Mrs. Ji pinched the handkerchief, her face was about to stiffen with a smile, "It is the greatest blessing for our family Yungui to be able to get the emperor's attention, how dare you ask for a reward?" ”

Wang Shengde didn't give Mrs. Ji half a look, and looked at Pei Yungui with admiration on his face.

"If Miss can have such a spacious mind, the emperor will rest assured, and our family will bring Miss's words to the emperor as they are."

"There is Father-in-law Lao."

Pei Yungui gently brushed his body and thanked Wang Shengde.

The two sang and harmonized, completely forgetting the third person in the hall.

Mrs. Ji's face darkened, and her back molars grinded straight.

She is also the mother of the Ji family, Wang Shengde directly skipped her to talk to a junior, what is this?

It's clear that he doesn't take her seriously!

Wang Shengde straightened his robe, put the dust behind him, and said with a slight bow: "Since our family words have been brought, let's take the first step, Miss Pei take care of yourself." ”

Pei Yungui also smiled and nodded, "Yungui sent it to my father-in-law." ”

The two stepped out of the flower hall one after the other, completely forgetting Mrs. Ji in her place.

After a few days of rain, the weather finally ushered in.

Up and down the Jifu, the buds are gradually blooming, the new green is embellished, and the sound of insects is chirping, quite "after the rain, the heron is on the line, and the frog is heard more deeply." (Note 1)".

Even with Pei Yungui's sour mood for a few days, he became cheerful.

After passing through the Jiuqu Corridor and crossing a bridge, you can see the red gate of the Ji Mansion, Wang Shengde stopped and looked back and said: "Miss Pei will be sent here, I was frightened a few days ago, Miss go back and rest." ”

Pei Yungui nodded.

The sunlight sprinkled on the girl's beautiful face made it even brighter.

She said goodbye, and her voice was soft and glutinous.

"Father-in-law is easy to go, Yungui will stop here."

Seeing Miss Pei's delicate and well-behaved face, Wang Shengde couldn't help it, and gently lowered his voice to remind: "Miss try to stay in her own courtyard these days and reduce the frequency of going out of the house." Although the wind and rain are now gone and the weather is slowly clearing, the bigger rain is still to come. Miss just stay in the room, don't be affected by the wind and rain of the spring cold. ”

Pei Yungui paused slightly, and his eyes gradually opened with surprise.

"Why did my father-in-law say this?"

Wang Shengde sighed and shook his head.

"Right now, the climate in Beijing is unstable, and it's always right for Miss to pay attention."

When the words fell, he didn't want to say more.

Pei Yungui didn't ask any more, and thanked him with a smile.

"Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, Yungui is grateful." She waved her hand and said, "Father-in-law, go slowly." ”

"Hey." Wang Shengde answered, and then turned to leave.

Seeing Wang Shengde out of the house, Pei Yungui also closed his gaze, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Cui Niang's huge body lying in front of him.

Pei Yungui frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know if Cui Niang is waiting here, do you have any advice?"

Cui Niang saluted, with a smile on her face, "Madame is waiting in the hall, looking for Miss to question." ”

Pei Yungui paused, stretched out two thin white fingers to support his forehead, and a few wisps of tiredness flowed from his eyes.

"I was cold a few days ago, and I was still a little dizzy at this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go today, my aunt, Yun Gui will go to ask for guilt another day, and I'm bothering Cui Niang to help pass it on."

After that, Pei Yungui didn't overdo it and was about to go back to his courtyard.

Cui Niang stretched out her hand to block Pei Yungui's way, and her huge body almost enveloped her.

"Miss stays, Madame specially instructed that I must go to her today."

Pei Yungui immediately covered his face and coughed, one after another, his slender shoulders trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with tears.

"I'm really unwell today, and I was already frightened when I blocked the sword for the saint that day, and I was dizzy when I came back. The cold of the spring has been tormented for a few days in a row, and last night I had a cough and a fever, and I didn't rest well, but now I was tossed again......"

She coughed twice more with her handkerchief covered, and her body shook, "I can't stand on my feet now, and I'm afraid that I'll pass my illness to my aunt." ”

Cui Niang's smile froze at the corner of her mouth.

"I see that the young lady is quite energetic, and she chats with her father-in-law very energetically."

Pei Yungui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his voice was soft and soft.

"Someone from the palace naturally has to work hard and not embarrass the Ji Mansion, but the prince also saw that I was sick, so I went back and rested."

Pei Yungui directly moved out of the emperor and Wang Shengde, hiding needles in his words.

Wang Shengde originally came to the palace with the emperor's edict, and it can be regarded as half of the emperor's personal visit.

His words were holy.

You see, the saints have let me rest well, how can you, a rough mother-in-law, brush off the emperor's kindness?

Cui Niang also heard the voiceover, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Pei Yungui struck while the iron was hot.

"If it's okay, I'll go back and lie down first, these days, I'm really unwell."

Cui Niang froze in place, looking at Pei Yungui's back, and opened her face, but she didn't know what to say.

When Pei Yun returned to the courtyard, he moved a wooden chair from the house, put it outside the courtyard, squinted his eyes and basked in the sun, like a lazy cat.

Just to take advantage of the fact that no one is disturbing and she has to enjoy a moment of tranquility, she guesses that it will not be long before Mrs. Ji should send someone to copy things to find her trouble.

Mrs. Ji is more dry than Ji, and she can't hold much breath.

She has to think carefully about how to use the emperor's convenience next, gain a good foothold in the palace, and what the wind and rain mentioned by the prince and princess refer to.

As for the warning of the system that day.

Pei Yungui sighed in a low voice, she didn't know what to do with it yet.

Let's just put it aside for now, and now it's better to solve the matter in front of you first.

Pei Yungui sat in the courtyard for a day, from the bright sun to the middle of the moon.

Except for Biyun who delivered a meal halfway, no one came to disturb him.

stayed until late at night, when the cold gradually hit, and Pei Yungui dragged the wooden chair into the house.

It seems that today can't wait.

Just as she was about to blow out the candle and lie down, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, and when she looked out through the oiled paper in the window, she could see two scurrying fires.

A series of footsteps broke the silence of the courtyard, and then there were several knocks outside the door.

Sounds rushed.

"Come in."

Pei Yungui put on his coat and said loudly outside the door.

The door was opened again.

A maid stepped into the room with her head bowed, still holding a steaming bowl of medicine in her hand.

Pei Yungui raised his eyebrows, and his gaze first moved to the bowl of black and slimy decoction.

"What is this?"

The maid stepped forward respectfully and raised the bowl to Pei Yungui's lips.

"Madame was worried about Miss's body, so she specially ordered the slave maid to boil the medicine for wind and cold, and ordered the slave maid to bring it and ask the young lady to take it."

Pei Yungui lowered his eyes, turned his head, and in the dim light, his face looked particularly pale.

"This medicine is on my desk first, you can stand down."

The maid didn't move.

"Madame said that the medicine was bitter, and she was afraid that the young lady would pour it out secretly, so she instructed the slave maid to see the young lady drink it with her own eyes before leaving."

At the same time, the voice of 4322 also sounded in Pei Yungui's head.

[Host, there is a problem with the medicine. 】
