The night has darkened, and the dinner in Qiu's mansion is almost cold, and Qiu Li's parents are a little cold when they look at this table of dishes, although the county lord is precious, but he can't be so rude.

King Jing's Mansion wanted to marry the Lord of Yining to Qiu Li, and they were originally happy, which showed that Qiu Li was valued by King Jing, and they happily looked forward to their return together at home, and then decided the marriage.

But now the county lord's behavior has made them worried, their own Qiu Li is an honest child, not only filial piety and obedient, if he is with the county lord, he doesn't know how much anger he has to suffer, these two days the county lord and the son of the world have a dislike, but began to be willful, always lingering in the tavern, until now there is not even a figure.

Pei Yao's face was calm, and he said, "Don't wait for her, let's have dinner." ”

Qiu Li said with some concern: "Let's wait for the county lord a little longer." ”

Mrs. Qiu smiled: "Yes, the county lord hasn't come back yet, and I don't know if it's a meal!"

Pei Yao's face was still expressionless, he looked at Mrs. Qiu and said, "Little sister is willful, please bear with me more, if she has any rudeness in the future, you don't have to get used to her." ”

Qiu's father and Qiu's mother glanced at each other, and hurriedly said: "Where is it, the county lord is frank and honest, but it is not rude. ”

The county lord was brought up by King Jing, and even King Jing held her in his palm and spoiled her, where did they dare to make irresponsible remarks?

Pei Yao's eyes darkened a little, and he didn't answer again, but directly picked up the chopsticks and said, "Dinner." ”

Luo Liang finally waited for his cousin to speak, and he was no longer polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate them, and Qiu Li had no choice but to stop waiting and started with Qiu's father and Qiu's mother.

Not long after they started eating, Pei Yining, who looked lost, came back, seeing that they were having dinner, there was no rise and fall on her face, looking at Pei Yao's indifferent face, she was even more upset, and simply asked Qiu's father and Qiu's mother, "Uncle and aunt." And he went to the courtyard where he lived.

Qiu's mother said with some embarrassment: "County Lord, let's have dinner first." ”

And Pei Yining walked too fast, and her heart was so chaotic that she didn't hear anything.

She inquired about Mrs. Xiao for an afternoon, and the Shen Yanshu she heard was not at all like Sister Yunge she imagined.

It's because she thinks too much, and what she thinks about is the brothers and sisters of the Qi family, but in the end it's still empty.

It's just that she couldn't understand why Shen Yanshu would say things in the same tone as Sister Yunge's? Could it be just a coincidence? And she learned from Mrs. Xiao that Shen Yanshu was very good and trusted Xiyan, why did she pretend to be rude in the first place? Why did she keep avoiding herself?

A series of questions gave Pei Yining a headache again.

There are still a few days left before her and Qiu Li's engagement, but she is very unhappy.

It's not that she doesn't like Qiu Li, but she just treats him as Brother Li, a brother like Pei Yao.

She also knew that she was very willful, but for the sake of King Jing's Mansion, she could not care about these, her father and brother both said that Qiu Li was good and a person who could be trusted, so she would marry.

But she felt more and more that her brother could not be trusted.

Since my brother completely took over King Jing's Mansion, it seems that he has changed into a different person, becoming stereotyped, becoming more stern, and unkind, this is not the brother who put up with her when she was a child.

Pei Yining sat on a small stool in the yard, looked at the fish swimming around in the small pond, and laughed self-deprecatingly, she was the same as the fish in this small pond, there was no freedom.

"Yi Ning. ”

Pei Yao didn't know when he had walked behind her and called softly.

Pei Yining didn't look back: "What's the matter with my brother?"

Her appearance made Pei Yao frown: "You are becoming more and more rude, now you are in Qiu Mansion, not King Jing's Mansion, you must be a little more restrained." ”

Pei Yining said: "Does my brother think I'm ashamed now?"

Pei Yao said: "Yining, you are about to get married, you are not a child anymore, don't be willful." ”

"Am I willful?" Pei Yining smiled bitterly, stood up, and turned to look at Pei Yao, "If I were willful, I wouldn't agree to marry Brother Li!"

Pei Yao's eyes flashed with a hint of waves: "You don't want to marry Qiu Li?"

Pei Yining said: "Does my brother care if I want to? Have you consulted my opinion? No, you only have your rights in your heart, and in order to consolidate the rights in your hands, you won't think about what I think in my heart at all!"

"Qiu Liren is very good, marrying him is also for your good. Pei Yao said.

Pei Yining looked at Pei Yao, and suddenly tears fell.

For a moment, she could feel that Pei Yao was also talking to Sister Yunge in this tone, hurting in the name of doing good for others, there is nothing more hurtful than this, right?

"I'm not good, not good at all!" Pei Yining couldn't control her tears for a long time, "Sister Yunge is not doing well, why can't you be brave? Have you ever considered Sister Yunge at the beginning? She cried and begged you not to leave her, she let go of the dignity of a county lord and chased your carriage and asked you to take her away, and your ruthless appearance makes me still unable to imagine that it was my brother who did it! It was you who killed Sister Yunge......

"Smack-"

A loud slap fell, Pei Yining's face was hot and painful, she looked up at Pei Yao in surprise, and her eyes were even more resentful.

Pei Yao finally reacted to what he had done, and he stepped forward to explain, but Pei Yining directly shook off his hand.

"I don't want to be a county lord, my brother should have never been my sister! I'm sorry for my father's ......."

Before Pei Yao could say anything, Pei Yining had already turned his head and ran out crying.

"Yining ......"

Shen Yanshu took a bath, just dried her long hair, and then took out a painting sandwiched between it from the book she often read, which was a map of the Great Zhou drawn by herself.

Because I used to be with my father, I read a lot of military books and studied a lot of maps, so it was not too difficult to draw a rough map by myself.

She spread out the map and marked the locations of the thirteen guards of the unicorn.

The Qilin Soldier Fu can command 500,000 soldiers and horses, but although some Qilin Guards are high, they do not have much military power in their hands, such as the current Dingxi Hou, looking at the appearance of Chu Linche, the son of the Dingxi Hou, it is not like he is raised according to the general, just waiting for the hereditary title, and he will have no worries for the rest of his life.

Another example is Xue Ziqing in the Shenji Battalion, with a maximum of 5,000 people in his hands, but all of them in his hands are elites, and his ability is much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, but he can defeat a hundred with one enemy.

The hussar generals who guarded Liangzhou had great power, but Liangzhou was once the Western Liang State, although it had been recovered for a few years, but it was still not peaceful, if you want to call the military power here, I am afraid that there will be some troubles.

Shen Yanshu looked at them one by one, thinking about it, but it didn't go as smoothly as he imagined.

"Miss. The blue kite walked in from outside.

Shen Yanshu put away the map and said, "What's the matter?"

"That Yining County Lord is here again. "But she seemed to be crying very sadly, and when Mrs. Xiao asked her anything, she didn't answer, she just cried." ”

"And then?" said Shen Yanshu.

Qing Kite replied, "Then Madame Xiao kindly took her in and let her live in the Xiao Mansion. ”

Shen Yanshu said: "Don't pay attention to it, someone will come and take people away tomorrow." ”

Pei Yining ran out late at night, Pei Yao would definitely not be relieved, there must be a secret guard to follow.

Qing Kite said again: "Mrs. Xiao said, Miss, you have to take the waterway when you go back to Chang'an, the Xiao family has a merchant ship, and you can set off tomorrow, so that you can avoid the entanglement of the county lord of Yining." ”

Shen Yanshu nodded and said, "Okay, you clean up and set off back to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

The green kite nodded, and began to pack up her salute.

Shen Yanshu has also lived in the Xiao family for more than half a month, and the people of the Xiao family treat her well, and they all have the idea of letting her stay, but they do know that they can't keep it.

Shen Yanshu and Yan Qinghan have a marriage contract, so they naturally want to return to Chang'an.

It's just that when she goes back this time, Shen Yanshu is no longer the one who can only be in the deep mansion, she has many enemies and a lot to do.

Xiao Nansheng was surprised that Shen Yanshu and they were going back so soon, and when she got the news, she hurried to Shen Yanshu's courtyard and asked Qing Kite to pass a message to him.

Before Shen Yanshu could rest, he walked into the courtyard and looked at Xiao Nansheng puzzled.

"What's the matter with my cousin looking for me so late?" asked Shen Yanshu.

Xiao Nansheng said: "Cousin, why are you going back to Chang'an so soon, and you haven't been here for a month!

"Cousin, where are you talking about this!" Shen Yanshu said, "Cousin, I naturally see how well you treat me, so I see the outside! Of course, I still want to stay for a long time, but it has not been long since Yan'an and I came out, and I should always go back." ”

Xiao Nansheng couldn't refute her words when he heard this, but he just stopped talking.

Shen Yanshu looked at him and asked, "Is there something else going on with my cousin?"

Xiao Nansheng's face turned red, and he said softly, "Can my cousin ...... Let Miss Xiyan stay?"

"Leave Xiyan?" Shen Yanshu knew what Xiao Nansheng was thinking, but he frowned and asked with some puzzlement, "Why did my cousin leave Xiyan?"

"This ......," Xiao Nansheng said with some difficulty, "I, I like her a lot, so I want to ask my cousin if she can keep her." ”

Shen Yanshu wanted to laugh when he looked at him, but asked seriously: "Then what kind of reason do you want to keep her?

"No!" Xiao Nansheng hurriedly waved his hand and said in some incoherent words, "No, I ...... I want to marry her. ”

Shen Yanshu continued to ask, "Then have you asked your uncle and aunt their opinions, and will they agree with you marrying a maid?"

Although she was happy that Xiao Nansheng said it to her like this, and hoped that he could have a good ending with Xiyan, there was more than a little problem between them.
