Ah Tao has some clues there.

Pei Yue asked in detail, for fear of missing any details.

"Master Pei." Ah Tao's voice was still a little weak: "Most of the children in the yard are orphans, they have no relatives in this world, and now they have become a tool for bad people to collect money, I hope you can save them."

Pei Yue bowed his head and showed a kind smile: "Ah Tao, don't worry, Dali Temple will definitely rescue them." What you need most now is peace of mind, and I will definitely bring those children out. ”

Ah Tao nodded, her voice was a little choked, "Ah Tao thanked you." With that, Ah Tao struggled to get up and salute Pei Yue.

Thankfully, Silver Candle held her back.

"Ah Tao, I am the temple of Dali Temple, and I am an official of the imperial court, so I naturally want to be the master of the people. These are all things I should do, you don't have to. ”

Ah Tao had tears in her eyes, she opened her mouth, and finally didn't speak.

Pei Yue didn't think about him, just thought that she still wanted to continue to thank herself.

When Pei Yue went out, Zhao Wanning was still lying under the golden laurel tree eating grapes.

She closed her eyes, and the autumn sun warmly sprinkled on her body and face, gilding her with a layer of gold.

The painting screen didn't know where it went, and there was no one else beside Zhao Wanning.

Pei Yue couldn't help but take two steps forward, his steps were gentle, as if he was afraid that he would disturb Zhao Wanning, and said softly: "County Lord." ”

Zhao Wanning didn't open his eyes, and raised his hand casually, intending to let him leave.

Pei Yue was reluctant, he racked his brains, and finally came up with an excuse, an excuse to talk to Zhao Wanning: "County Lord, I passed by an attic on the way to invite Yueyuan, called the Star Picking Tower, I am quite interested in this building, I want to go up to see it, I don't know if it is convenient." ”

"Star Picking Tower?" Zhao Wanning suddenly opened his eyes: "What do you want to do in the Star Picking Tower?" ”

It's no wonder that Zhao Wanning is nervous, after all, in her last life, she fell from the Star Picking Tower. After being reborn, she had tried her best to bypass the Star Picking Tower.

In the past, Zhao Wanning liked to go to the starry tower to enjoy the cool on a summer night. But after she was reborn, she never went again. Even sometimes deliberately detour to bypass the Star Picking Tower.

Pei Yue also saw Zhao Wanning's nervousness. He hurriedly explained: "I heard that in the Star Picking Tower, it is the tallest building in the capital except for the castle tower. In autumn, it is advisable to climb high and look far. I want to go up and have a look. ”

Zhao Wanning instantly relaxed. Also, where did Pei Yue know the relationship between her and Xingxinglou. Rebirth is already terrifying, how many people would believe it? How many people will know?

"I see. When the Star Tower was completed, it was indeed the tallest building in the capital except for the castle tower. It's just that over the years, there has been a lot of construction in the capital, and my star-picking tower is not the tallest building. Zhao Wanning said quietly: "If you want to go up and have a look, I will call the painting screen to accompany you." ”

"Paint, paint!" Zhao Wanning thought that the picture screen was not beside her, so she was tidying up in the bedroom, but she didn't expect her to shout a few times into the room, but no one responded. She had already forgotten about the picture screen telling her to take Tian Mengming to the kitchen.

Pei Yue didn't urge, he didn't want the painting screen to take him there. At this moment, I saw that the picture screen had not responded, but I felt that it was a good opportunity. Compared with the painting screen, he hopes to be alone with Zhao Wanning. I even prayed in my heart to draw the screen and never show up.

shouted a few times, but no one responded, and Zhao Wanning also felt a little embarrassed.

"I guess this girl went to the kitchen." Zhao Wanning stood up and said, "I'll take you to the Star Tower." ”

Pei Yue couldn't ask for it, he tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth, and pretended to be modest: "Then I thanked the county lord." ”

Zhao Wanning didn't speak, and led him straight forward.

A gust of wind blew, and the hair strand behind Zhao Wanning and the hairband that pulled the hair fluttered in the wind.

Looking at Zhao Wanning's back, Pei Yue suddenly remembered his first meeting with Zhao Wanning. Zhao Wanning probably doesn't remember, but he remembers it deeply.

At that time, Pei Yue's father, Pei Changzhou, was still a young general who was praised by everyone for giving up his pen and calm, and General Pei had won several battles at the border pass. On the occasion of the New Year, General Pei and his wife were still fighting at the border pass, and there were only two people in Pei's mansion, Pei Taifu and Pei Yue. The saint felt his merit, so he invited Pei Taifu and Pei Yue to the family banquet in the palace.

That was Pei Yue's first time entering the palace.

Pei Taifu used to be always worried that Pei Yue would lose his honor in front of the palace when he got along with the princes, and he was even more afraid that Pei Yue would get involved in the battle for the throne if he got too close to those princes, so he never took him into the palace, and even the holy banquet ministers did not let him follow.

said that it was a family banquet, but in fact, many people were invited, most of whom were royal relatives.

Zhao Wanning, who is the county lord of Qinghe, was naturally also present.

The children who grew up in the royal family knew how to judge the situation from an early age.

At this time, Zhao Wanning's mother, Princess Qingyang, was the sister of Emperor Shengde and the key person who helped Emperor Shengde seize the throne, and Zhao Wanning's maternal ancestor was the Marquis of Zhenbei, who held heavy troops. She was naturally held in the palm of everyone's hands, like the stars and the moon.

Pei Yue still remembered that Zhao Wanning was dressed as Yuxue cute, she was wearing delicate and gorgeous smoky pink clothes and a cute bun. Different from the gorgeousness of the clothes, Zhao Wanning's hair did not have a precious golden hairpin ornament inserted in her hair, but only two smoke-pink hairbands of the same color as the clothes were tied to the bun. At the bottom of the headband is decorated with a white rabbit fur ball, which makes her more delicate and cute.

Children are always active, and Zhao Wanning is the same.

Although it was a palace banquet, the adults sat in front of the table and drank and ate, but the children were not restrained.

Fortunately, the Holy One was merciful and allowed them to play as they pleased.

Zhao Wanning felt bored, so she ran out of the banquet alone.

She was still very young at that time, like a little glutinous rice ball, and the hairband on her head fluttered in the wind when she ran, like a little rabbit.

"County Lord, where are you going?" The picture screen happened to bring a plate of pastries.

The sudden appearance of the painting screen also interrupted Pei Yue's memories of the past.

"Where did you just go?" Zhao Wanning's tone carried a hint of complaint.

"County Lord, I just told you. I'm taking her to the kitchen. The painting screen leaned the osmanthus cake in his hand in front of her: "Look, this is the osmanthus cake made in Fuzhong today." ”

Zhao Wanning took a deep breath, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers entered her nose: "It smells so good." ”

"Yes, Lord Shire. I heard that it was made by a cook who had just returned from outside the house recently. The picture screen said: "Do you want to taste it, county lord?" ”

Zhao Wanning wanted to eat, but she saw Pei Yue standing beside her, so she ordered: "You take it back, I just ate too many grapes, and I don't want to eat now." ”

"Yes, County Lord." The painting screen also saw Pei Yue, she thought that the county lord was going to send Pei Yue out of the house, so she said: "The county lord asked the slave maid to send Pei Da." ”

Zhao Wanning originally wanted to agree, but she shook her head in a ghostly manner: "Master Pei wants to go to the Star Picking Tower to have a look, so I'll take him there." Think of it as a digester. ”

Pei Yue's heart finally relaxed.

He smiled and said, "I have thanked the county lord below." ”

Zhao Wanning felt inexplicable, why did Pei Yue suddenly thank her?

This time, Pei Yue didn't follow behind Zhao Wanning anymore, he took two quick steps, kept up with Zhao Wanning's pace, and almost walked side by side with Zhao Wanning.

The Star Picking Building has been built for some years.

Zhao Wanning still remembers that this was built when the eldest princess and the Marquis of Zhenbei had a strong relationship. said that it was to facilitate the two of them to watch the stars and the moon on the top of the building, one to pick up the stars and the other to invite the moon, which just happened to reflect her Inviting Moon Garden.

It's just that I didn't expect to make people happy, and within a few years of the construction of this building, the eldest princess was separated from the Marquis of Zhenbei. Since then, the eldest princess has never set foot on the Star Picking Tower, let alone the Marquis of Zhenbei, he returned to the Marquis Mansion to inherit the title, and never stepped into the Eldest Princess's Mansion again.

Only Zhao Wanning still goes to the Star Tower from time to time to take a look.

The lower floors of the Star Picking Building are books, calligraphy and paintings.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was also a vassal and elegant person before. At that time, he married the eldest princess, which was almost equivalent to breaking off his career, and there was no place for heroes, so he had to be obsessed with calligraphy, and often read and paint in the Star Tower.

The eldest princess knew that he was pregnant and depressed, so she also accompanied him. The two also left some good stories with red sleeves to add fragrance.

In order to make Zhenbei Hou happy, the eldest princess even searched for famous calligraphy and paintings and some ancient books among the people. Over time, this star-picking building became the library of the eldest princess's mansion.

Zhao Wanning likes to find some books to read when she has nothing to do.

It's just that most of the books in it are obscure, at least Zhao Wanning couldn't understand them at the time.

She is actually not good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she feels bored after a few visits. Instead, it is the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, where the view is good. When the weather is clear, you can even see the mountains and rivers outside the city in the distance. In summer, because of the high building and strong wind, it is a good place to enjoy the coolness.

Zhao Wanning likes it very much.

In the previous life, Pei Yue not only accompanied Zhao Wanning to watch the stars and admire the moon on the roof of the Star Picking Tower, but also checked books in the library on the lower floors of the Star Picking Tower.

But after all, this is the first time he has come to the Star Picking Tower in this life, so naturally he can't show that he is too familiar with the Star Picking Tower.

Zhao Wanning led him to walk and watch floor by floor. "These are all books, calligraphy and paintings that my father and mother collected together, and there are many famous works in them. There are also some, not very well-known. There are also some ancient books that have been lost. ”

"On weekdays, I come and flip through it. But I don't understand it either. ”

In the Star Picking Building, books, calligraphy and paintings are neatly placed. The place where the books are placed is spotless, and at a glance, you can see that someone often cleans it on weekdays.

Pei Yue pretended to be the first time to come, and pretended to be surprised: "Sure enough, it's the eldest princess's mansion." I'm afraid that only your parents, the county lord, can collect these books, calligraphy and paintings. ”

Pei Yue picked up a dilapidated ancient book, which looked a little old. After the erosion of the years, it looks a little antique.

"It's actually the manuscript of a poet of the previous dynasty!"

Zhao Wanning glanced at it: "Yes, it seems that my mother collected it from the people, and I heard that it took a lot of effort." My father bound these manuscripts in order to preserve them properly. ”

Zhao Wanning nodded as she spoke, she didn't notice that she was very close to Pei Yue at this time.

As long as Pei Yue lowered his head slightly, he could touch Zhao Wanning's bun.

That's too close.

made Pei Yue's heart can't help but give birth to a trace of greed.
