Chapter 46: The Duck

Half of the top floor of the Star Picking Tower is a small attic, and there are some tea sets and the like in it, which is convenient for Zhao Wanning to rest on the roof of the Star Picking Tower. The other half is an open platform, which is blocked on all sides by half-height pillared railings to prevent people from accidentally falling from the building. In the center of the platform was placed a coffee table and two futons.

At this moment, Jin Wuxi sinks. Standing on the top floor of the Star Picking Tower, you can see the golden crow on the horizon gradually falling into the mountain stream.

A flock of migratory birds flies by.

This is the first time Zhao Wanning has climbed the Star Picking Tower after falling from the building, Xu is because the impression of falling to death in the previous life is too deep, Zhao Wanning is still a little afraid when standing on the top of the Star Picking Tower at the moment.

accompanied Pei Yue to the top floor, and Zhao Wanning sat down on the futon.

"Master Pei, I'm a little tired, sit down and rest." Zhao Wanning said: "See for yourself." ”

Pei Yue saw Zhao Wanning go up to the top floor, so he sat on the futon, and was not even moved by his invitation to watch the sunset. You must know that Zhao Wanning used to like to watch the sunset on the roof of the star-picking building.

At that time, he accompanied Zhao Wanning, Zhao Wanning always liked to stand by the railing in order to get the best sight, and he couldn't wait to lean out of the railing with most of his body, Pei Yue was afraid that she would accidentally fall downstairs and couldn't stop her, so he had to hug her thin waist from behind her.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Wanning didn't even watch the sunset now.

He had more doubts in his heart that Zhao Wanning was reborn and returned.

Pei Yue was depressed in his heart, he felt sorry for Zhao Wanning. He obviously knew that Zhao Wanning fell to his death in the last life, and he might have a shadow on the Star Picking Tower, but because of his own selfish desires and selfishness, he asked Zhao Wanning to take him to the Star Picking Tower.

She must be sad in her heart, she fell from here in her last life.

It would be nice if it hadn't fallen from here.

They were still a loving couple, and he knew that she didn't like to stay in the eldest princess's mansion, so he spent a few days buying a mansion. The house is small, but it is also delicate and lovely.

The most important thing is that it belongs to him and her, there are only the two of them, there is no eldest princess, and there is no Zhao Chen'an.

He originally planned to wait for the renovation of the new mansion to be completed, and then take Zhao Wanning out of the eldest princess's mansion. If she went there, Zhao Wanning would never see the eldest princess who made her sad and Zhao Chen'an who opposed her everywhere.

She will live freely and happily, like a bird in the sky. That little mansion was her nest.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

Pei Yue sighed, the past cannot be traced, let's focus on the present.

Pei Yue carefully looked at the railing of the star-picking tower. He pressed his hands on the railing and pushed it outward, and the railing was motionless and strong. Pei Yue went to check the place where the railing was fixed, which was the most common mortise and tenon structure, which was very strong. He was a railing that a grown man's strength could not shake in the slightest.

In this way, it seems that Zhao Wanning's fall from the building was not an accident, someone must have done it secretly. Otherwise, with Zhao Wanning's strength, how could he break such a strong railing and fall from the building.

It's a pity that Pei Yue was reborn too quickly, and he didn't have the opportunity to go to the scene of the crime to check, I don't know what the railing of the Star Tower looks like after Zhao Wanning fell from the building, otherwise he will definitely be able to find out some clues.

Zhao Wanning watched Pei Yue ponder for a long time against the railing.

I didn't expect Pei Yue to be quite interested in this railing. "This railing is made of fine nanmu by craftsmen, and it is very strong. After so many years of wind and sun, there has never been the slightest damage. ”

Zhao Wanning was really curious about what Pei Yue was doing, so she boldly walked to his side and asked, "Why are you so interested in this?" ”

Pei Yue didn't want Zhao Wanning to know about his rebirth, and he didn't want Zhao Wanning to know that he wanted to secretly investigate the reason why Zhao Wanning fell from the building. He casually said with a reason: "My house also wants to build an attic in recent days, but I don't know how to make this railing stronger." I just saw it today, and I wanted to study it. ”

"County Lord, do you know who designed and built this Star Picking Tower? I also want to ask him for advice. ”

When the Star Picking Tower was built, Zhao Wanning had just been born, so how did she know who designed and built it.

"I don't know, it's just ......" Zhao Wanning's expression was entangled, as if she was thinking about something.

Pei Yue didn't urge, he just stood quietly and looked at Zhao Wanning, her frowning appearance was also very cute.

After a while, Zhao Wanning suddenly patted his head: "I remembered!" ”

Pei Yue simply likes Zhao Wanning like this too much, she always has so many whimsical ideas.

Pei Yue asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "I don't know what the county lord remembers?" ”

"I remember when I was a child flipping through those paintings and calligraphy, I once turned to the drawings of this star building. If you want to see it, I can take you to find it. ”

Pei Yue naturally wanted to get along with Zhao Wanning more, and he said very cheerfully: "Then thank the county lord for being here." ”

"What are you polite to me?" As soon as the words came out, Zhao Wanning felt that something was wrong. She is used to the way she got along with Pei Yue in her previous life. Fortunately, Pei Yue didn't notice anything.

Zhao Wanning took Pei Yue downstairs.

She walked in a hurry, and the stairs of this star-picking tower were many and narrow. Zhao Wanning took two steps, suddenly stepped on the hem of her skirt, leaned forward, and was about to fall down the stairs.

At this critical moment, Pei Yue grabbed her. But Pei Yue also lost his balance, and both of them fell downstairs.

Pei Yue protected Zhao Wanning in his arms, and tightly protected Zhao Wanning's head in front of his chest with both hands.

After rolling a few steps down, Pei Yue hit the wall with one foot, and then stopped rolling down.

"Wanning, are you okay? Did it hurt anything? Pei Yue hurriedly helped Zhao Wanning up and checked whether there were any injuries on her face and hands, for fear that she would be hurt in the slightest in front of her eyes. In the previous life, he did not protect Zhao Wanning, and in this life, he tried his best to protect her.

Pei Yue blamed himself very much in his heart, blaming him, if he hadn't come to pick up the Star Tower, Zhao Wanning would not have fallen down the stairs.

Zhao Wanning was well protected by Pei Yue, but she was not injured. When she was about to fall, she was a little scared, thinking that she would die in the Star Picking Tower in this life. Fortunately, Pei Yue grabbed her, although the two of them fell down in the end, but with Pei Yue's protection, she was not hurt.

"I'm fine, what about you? Are there any injuries? As soon as Zhao Wanning raised his eyes, he saw the back of Pei Yue's hand.

Pei Yue's hands are slender and powerful, with prominent knuckles, and at first glance they are a pair of hands of a scholar. It's just that at this moment, two wounds appeared on the back of Pei Yue's right hand, and the wounds didn't look deep, but they kept bleeding.

"It's fine if you're okay." Pei Yue said, and shrunk his fingers into his sleeve. He didn't want Zhao Wanning to see his injured appearance and make her worry.

The bright red blood stained the white sleeves of the moon, which looked particularly dazzling.

"Your hand hurts." Zhao Wanning took Pei Yue's hand hidden under his sleeve, the wound had been bleeding, and it looked a little hideous.

Zhao Wanning hurriedly wrapped Pei Yue's wound with his handkerchief, "There is a golden medicine downstairs, I'll take you to find it." ”

In a hurry, Zhao Wanning kept pulling Pei Yue's injured right hand and walked forward.

Pei Yue didn't remind her either, he was really greedy for Zhao Wanning's temperature, and let Zhao Wanning take his right hand and walk forward.

The wound hurts, but he is willing to take it.

Zhao Wanning found a medicine box on the third floor. She used to like to run around in the Star Picking Building, and once accidentally hit her knee and bled a lot. Later, the eldest princess was worried that she would be injured in the Star Picking Building, so she specially instructed her subordinates to prepare medicine for bruises in the Star Picking Building.

The two of them sat on the ground.

Zhao Wanning realized that she had been holding Pei Yue's injured right hand. She was a little embarrassed, and quickly let go of Pei Yue's hand.

"Here, there are some hemostatic medicines, I'll put them on for you first." Zhao Wanning was a little incoherent. She untied the handkerchief, and then took out the medicine powder to stop bleeding and put it on Pei Yue: "It may be a little painful, you bear with it." ”

Zhao Wanning said and carefully poured the hemostatic powder on Pei Yue's wound.

"Shhhhh It was only at this moment that he felt some pain in the back of his right hand.

Seeing Pei Yue frowning, Zhao Wanning felt guilty: "I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you will be hurt......"

Without waiting for Zhao Wanning to continue, Pei Yue interrupted her: "What did the county lord say?" If that's what you say, then I'm sorry for the county lord below. If you hadn't taken the initiative to say that you wanted to come to the Star Picking Tower to have a look, the county lord would not have fallen down the stairs. It's the fault of the next. ”

"I'm glad it was me, not you, who was hurt."

Pei Yue kept looking at Zhao Wanning's eyes tenderly when he spoke, and Zhao Wanning was a little shy by his direct gaze, so he had to lower his head: "Then let's settle it." ”

Pei Yue looked at Zhao Wanning's side face that was seriously bandaging his wounds, and smiled softly.

"Okay."

Zhao Wanning originally wanted Pei Yue to follow her to find the blueprint, but after this battle, Zhao Wanning didn't want Pei Yue to accompany her to find it with an injury, so she said: "You rest here for a while, and I'll go find the blueprint for you." ”

"I'll accompany you." Pei Yue blurted out.

Zhao Wanning smiled at him: "It's okay, you don't know where to put it anyway." I'll do it myself. ”

Zhao Wanning asked him to sit and rest, but where was Pei Yue who could sit and watch Zhao Wanning work.

Zhao Wanning bent down and rummaged through the calligraphy and paintings, and Pei Yue was not idle. He followed behind Zhao Wanning and sorted out Zhao Wanning's messy calligraphy and paintings one by one, so that these calligraphy and paintings could be restored to their original state.

Zhao Wanning opened the calligraphy and paintings one by one, and then closed them one by one.

When Pei Yue sorted out one of the scrolls, he found that the inscription on the painting was the word "Wanning". He couldn't help but open it and wanted to see Zhao Wanning's paintings when he was a child.

Maybe it was a few ducklings, Pei Yue couldn't see it. It can be seen that the painting technique is very jerky, the brushstrokes are also very stiff, and there are even two large clusters of black ink dots on it, which may have been accidentally dripped by Zhao Wanning when he was painting.

The whole painting reveals a childlike play.

After Pei Yue and Zhao Wanning got married, they never saw her paint. When Pei Yue painted by himself, Zhao Wanning once saw it and said that he painted well, but Pei Yue thought that Zhao Wanning didn't like to paint. I didn't expect that there was still Zhao Wanning's ink treasure in this star-picking building.

As soon as Zhao Wanning turned around, he saw Pei Yue open a picture scroll, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. She looked at it and saw that the picture scroll was not a celebrity calligraphy painting, but a mandarin duck playing in the water that she painted when she was a child. I didn't expect her paintings to be mixed in these calligraphy and paintings, and they were also seen by Pei Yue.

"You're not allowed to look!" Zhao Wanning hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the scroll. Roll it with both hands, hastily rub it up, and quickly throw it into the corner.

Pei Yue looked at Zhao Wanning's side face with a huff, and couldn't help laughing: "Why am I not allowed to look at it?" ”

"You just can't see it." Zhao Wanning muttered a few words, and then became angry: "Are you laughing at me?" ”

"Don't dare."

"You are! Just laughing at me. ”

"The county lord spares his life, I really don't dare."

"I don't care, you can't tell you about it, otherwise I will make you look good!"

Pei Yue tried hard to restrain himself, pressed the corners of his mouth, and nodded.

"Okay."
