Pei Lingmeng just finished picking out the jewelry, looked up, An Xia was gone, Jiang Suqing casually said let An Xia go out to buy some pastries, Pei Lingmeng didn't think much about it, smiled and pulled Jiang Suqing over, and said: "Mu Mu, you can also pick a set, I will pack it today." ”

Jiang Suqing naturally wouldn't be polite to her, and was about to pick a hairpin, but Pei Lingmeng pressed her again in surprise: "That's it, let the second brother personally bring you to buy it next time." ”

She's eaten herself too many times like this.

The second brother has an unbearable possessiveness for Mu Mu, no matter what he does, he has to rank first here in Mu Mu, even if she gives Jin Hai this way, if she takes the lead, the second brother will definitely not give her good fruits to eat after knowing it.

Jiang Suqing's eyes drooped, and he said listlessly: "He didn't even mention that he wanted to take me out for a walk, let alone give me hairpins." ”

Pei Lingmeng smiled ambiguously: "The second brother is a man, and he is busy with official duties every day, so he may not be as meticulous as he thought for a while." If you want to come out with him, take the initiative to mention it, and he can't hold it all in front of you if you want? ”

"Even the lone book of Mr. Liyuan, you casually mentioned two sentences, and the second brother remembered it for a long time."

Jiang Suqing was surprised: "Mr. Liyuan's lone book, isn't that what he himself admired and unintentionally found when he was in Northern Xinjiang?" ”

Pei Lingmeng's apricot eyes were stunned, "That's what he told you?" ”

Jiang Suqing nodded, and at the beginning, this solitary book was still used by him to exchange conditions with her, and she thought it was the solitary book that Pei Fumo herself wanted.

Pei Lingmeng snorted lightly, shook his head and said, "Then you were deceived by my second brother." I heard from my father, when the second brother left Chang'an, he has been inquiring about this lonely book, and later in northern Xinjiang, once learned from the mouth of a certain soldier that Mr. Liyuan's lonely book fell into the hands of barbarian generals, after the second brother learned, he fought hard with the enemy in a big war, and single-handedly rushed into the enemy's military camp to surrender the other party, and then struggled to find it. ”

"Second brother, he wants this lonely book, it's for you, your simple sentence is worthy of the second brother's care."

After Jiang Suqing listened, his heart was very heavy.

She didn't know ......

That lonely book was actually just what her father wanted, so she inadvertently mentioned it twice, and she didn't ask him to help find it, and she didn't expect him to take it to heart at all.

Shopkeeper Yu had already packed all the jewelry, Pei Lingmeng bought what he wanted, and walked out the door with Jiang Suqing, who was in a good mood.

Just as An Xia also came over, Jiang Suqing glanced at her and shook her head slightly.

An Xia understood and held back her words first.

Pei Lingmeng was about to get into the carriage, and her maid suddenly whispered a few words in her ear, and she asked in a low voice, "Didn't you recognize the wrong person?" ”

The maid said: "That's right, the man who turned into a gray slave knows it, and the man in the wine shop is the shameless man of the light girl on the wedding day of the prince." ”

Pei Lingmeng was so angry that her eyes lit up, wasn't that person her second brother's cold-faced subordinate? She didn't even want to go back to her home immediately, she wanted to meet the man, so she turned to Jiang Suqing and said, "Mu Mu, you go back first, I still have some personal matters to deal with." ”

Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Suqing nodded, "Then don't play too late outside, you have to go back early." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Lingmeng disappeared.

Jiang Suqing: "......"

After getting into the carriage, the coachman asked, "Mrs. Shizi, is it time to go home?" ”

An Xia's voice came from inside the carriage: "Go to the Spirit Jade Pavilion." ”

Jiang Suqing opened the brocade box in his hand, looked at the smooth ink jade inside, and his smile became sweeter and sweeter.

She wanted to create a unique gift from this piece of black jade and give it to Pei Xiaojiu.

He will rejoice.

The carriage set off slowly, and An Xia mentioned the matter of following Zhou Yan just now.

"Madam, that alley is called Lianshui Lane, and there are some ordinary people living in it, nothing strange, the slave asked the people around the alley, and they all said that they had never seen any nobles come here."

It sounded quite normal, but An Xia pondered: "The slave and maid obviously followed Zhou Yan in, but soon he disappeared, and I really don't know what's going on inside." ”

Jiang Suqing slowly closed the brocade box in his hand and frowned: "Don't worry about it for the time being, it seems that it's just a confidential business of the prince, if we go to investigate, maybe there will be bad things." ”

Anxia also thinks so.

**

The colorful glow is slanting, and the sun is setting.

Pei Fumo sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, and after Zhou Yan got on the car, he replied: "Shizi, the spies came to report that they did not find out the details of the eldest son's childhood past, because the eldest prince had been in too many places when he was young, and more than ten years have passed, if you want to find out the detailed past, I am afraid it will take some time." ”

Pei Fumo continued to close his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to find out." ”

Pei You must have hidden some secret.

Zhou Yan replied: "Yes." ”

He got out of the carriage and whistled lightly, but in a moment, a black eagle stopped in his arm, and Zhou Yan put the written Shizi password under the eagle's talons, and watched it fly away.

Zhou Yan retracted his eyes, and was about to get into the carriage, his eyes swept to the side, and after looking at it for a while, he looked strange, he stood by the window of the car and whispered: "Shizi, my subordinates have seen Mrs. Shizi." ”

Pei Fumo slowly opened his eyes, his dark eyes were calm.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, and continued honestly: "Mrs. Shizi and ...... and the eldest prince, came out of the Lingyu Pavilion together. ”

**

In the evening, the Lingyu Pavilion is full of guests, and the beautiful jade ornaments in the lobby are all exquisite and luxurious, and they are full of light.

The cold shopkeeper respectfully sent Jiang Suqing out of the private room, and Jiang Suqing repeatedly advised: "Leng shopkeeper, you have to check it personally, don't let this jade pendant make a little mistake." ”

When he arrived at the counter, the shopkeeper Leng grinned and replied: "Mrs. Shizi handed it over to me, I can rest assured, our Lingyu Pavilion is a jade shop with a century-old signboard in Chang'an City, and the jade carver has exquisite craftsmanship like ingenuity, so he has never missed it." ”

Jiang Su Qing'er, "That's good." With that, she prepared to take Anxia back.

The shopkeeper looked at this piece of ink jade carefully for a long time, and suddenly shouted to Jiang Suqing in a hurry, "Mrs. Shizi, wait a minute, this piece of ink jade seems to be the ink jade that Mrs. set in the Lingyu Pavilion three years ago?" But I remember that this piece of jade was sold two years ago. ”

After hearing this, Jiang Suqing hurriedly stopped, "Such a coincidence? ”

Three years ago, she had ordered a piece of high-quality ink jade in the Lingyu Pavilion, but it didn't take long for Pei Fumo to leave Beijing, because this gift could not be sent, she kept the piece of ink jade in the Lingyu Pavilion and did not go to pick it up, three years have passed, presumably the owner of this piece of ink jade shop has already sold it, and she didn't think much about it.

Could it be that it was sold to Sheng Yan? Jiang Suqing's heart was slightly moved, "Do you remember the shopkeeper ......?"

"Mumu."

A clear voice came from behind him, and Jiang Suqing's body suddenly stiffened.

Pei You had already walked to Jiang Suqing's side, with a light smile: "How could Mu Mu be here?" ”

The cold shopkeeper's eyes went back and forth between the two, but because Pei You's return to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was not long, not many people in Chang'an knew him, but when this man was Jiang Suqing's friend, he was not good at interrupting the conversation, so he silently entered the counter.

Jiang Suqing quietly took a few steps back, and said calmly: "How can my brother be here?" ”

Pei You's gaze inadvertently swept a few steps back from her, and said with a smile: "As soon as he and Huai Zheng came out of the palace, he had to leave in advance, and I had nothing to do but go around." ”

Jiang Suqing just asked casually, and after listening to it, he gently pulled the corners of his lips, "Then don't disturb my brother, I'll go back to the Hou Mansion first." ”

Jiang Suqing turned around and pulled An Xia, who was still on the side, and was anxious to leave.

"Wait." Pei You obviously didn't intend to let her go easily, he caught up after him in a few steps, he stood behind Jiang Suqing and stopped, and said slowly: "Since they are all going back to the house, why don't you go." ”

Although it is now dusk, there are many distinguished guests in Lingyu Pavilion every day, and they are at the door of the store, if they talk more, they may be recognized, Jiang Suqing does not want to have too much to do with him, so he exhales slowly behind his back, and has no choice but to compromise: "Okay, brother, please first." ”

Pei You lowered his eyes, and his gaze fell on the snow-white skirt she was wearing today, as if the scene of the snowy night two years ago had reappeared, and he was the same as he was two years ago, he could only look at her back from a distance, unable to touch or touch.

How funny.

Before Pei Huaizheng came back from Northern Xinjiang, she was obviously very close to him, in those two years, was their relationship in Jiangfu fake every day?

Why didn't Pei Huaizheng return to Chang'an not long ago, she suddenly became estranged from him.

Could it be that she was bewitched by Pei Huaizheng so that she no longer had dealings with him?

Pei You's heart sank, and he stepped forward a few steps and walked to Jiang Suqing's side, seemingly walking with her, but he could feel the sense of alienation she deliberately maintained towards him.

The three of them had just left the Spirit Jade Pavilion.

Before Jiang Suqing had time to get away from Pei You, An Xia's eyes turned to the right and reminded, "Madam, the prince is here." ”

Jiang Suqing followed her line of sight, and a few steps away, Pei Fumo, who was dressed in an inky purple python robe, stood in the glow of the sunset, the soft light outlined his handsome outline lines like a delicate painting, he had a light smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be cold.

**

The sky was slightly dark, and the wind was quiet.

The carriage stopped in front of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and after Jiang Xu got out of the carriage, his eyes glanced back, and when he saw that there was no other carriage coming with him, his face was puzzled.

Soon a light sneer sounded beside him, and Pei Fumo said lightly: "Brother has something to do temporarily, so I have to go home later." ”

Fang just met unexpectedly in Lingyu Pavilion, Pei You returned to his carriage, followed by their carriage, Jiang Suqing also thought that he was going to come back together, and was a little surprised after not seeing anyone, she sighed, and said disapprerovitically: "Then let's go in." ”

She didn't seem to care at all whether Pei You would return or not, and Pei Fumo wanted to laugh a little.

Jiang Suqing took Pei Fumo's arm very naturally, and wanted to enter the mansion with him, the back of her hand was suddenly covered by a warm palm, Jiang Suqing raised her eyes and looked at Pei Fumo's indifferent gaze.

"What are you doing in the Spirit Jade Pavilion today?"

Still asked.

After leaving the Lingyu Pavilion, she hurriedly explained her chance encounter with Pei You when she got into the carriage, and Pei Fumo only glanced at her lightly, "I didn't ask anything, what are you nervous about." ”

I don't know why, as long as it is about Pei You, she always has a natural sense of weakness in her heart towards Pei Fumo, but she forgot that she was in a hurry to explain, but she also made the mistake of wanting to cover up.

But then he kept his eyes closed and didn't ask anything, she thought he didn't care.

Jiang Suqing slowly let go of his hand, raised his pale face, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and said with a smile: "I made a gift for you." ”

Gift? Pei Fumo frowned, carefully looked at the expression on her face, and wanted to see something to hide from it.

But she covered it up too well.

He only hesitated for a moment, and soon regained his indifferent demeanor, and walked towards the mansion with his hands in his hands, "Jiang Mumu, my birthday has long passed. ”

Not at all impressed? Jiang Suqing stood in place for a while before catching up and said, "Who said that gifts are only used on birthdays?" ”

They stopped, Jiang Suqing didn't react, and directly hit his hard back.

She rubbed the tip of her reddened nose, tears of pain came out, how did he look good, why was his whole body so hard!

Pei Fumo turned around, there was no emotion in his eyes, and his tone was cold: "Jiang Suqing, you once said that except for the birthday gift, you will not spend a little thought for me." ”

Jiang Xuqing's hand rubbing the tip of her nose suddenly froze, and she kept thinking about it in her mind, and finally remembered why she said this sentence at that time.

When she was ten years old, she liked to play with ladies of the same age, but the best thing with her in the noble girl circle was Cheng Ruyun, Yun'er would often come to Jiangfu to look for her, and she had told her that many people in the noble girl circle were rumoring that she was brazen and pestered the Hou Shizi of Zhenbei every day.

Pei Fumo has been excellent since he was a child, his family background and talent like this, there are endless people who want to have a good relationship with him, and there are countless little girls who like him, and in addition to some friends who know him in the country's prison, he has the best relationship with Jiang Suqing among the girls, and he doesn't even care about the defense of men and women, but also wants to be close to her.

Pei Fumo was also regarded as the little overlord who dominated Chang'an when he was young, he always felt that Jiang Suqing was the person he had to protect all his life, if anyone dared to say that she was not good at all, he would directly come to the door to teach a lesson, so that the person did not dare to gossip about her anymore.

has been in such a situation for a long time, except for Cheng Ruyun, many ladies are scared and unwilling to associate with her.

This kind of thing was a great blow to Jiang Suqing, who was only ten years old at the time, when Yun'er told her that it was rumored in the circle that she was hooking Pei Fumo, she only felt very angry, it was obvious that Pei Fumo was domineering and unreasonable, and she was always forbidden to make friends with other people, but it was also because of Pei Fumo, in the eyes of others, she became the jealous and narrow-minded person.

It was also on the day of Pei Fumo's birthday banquet held in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, in the garden, she was ridiculed by a group of noblewomen, saying that her desire to please Pei Fumo was well known, and even the birthday gifts she gave were so bothered.
