Chapter 400 World 9: Flower Appreciation Banquet
Chapter 400 World 9: Flower Appreciation Banquet
She was still angry with him that day.
The little girl is not big, but has quite a temper.
His eyes were filled with smiles subconsciously.
In an instant, the conversation with Wuliang came to mind again.
At that time, they were sitting in a small pavilion in the courtyard of Master Wuliang in Huangjue Temple. Wuliang looked at the sadness on his face and poured him a cup of tea.
Then he slowly said, "Master, there is no need to come here in the future."
Pei Jian paused as he picked up the teacup, "Why?"
"You must have noticed that this visit is different from the past."
"Ah."
"My heart has become impetuous."
"anything else?"
"It's not as firm as before."
"firm?"
"It's your desire to escape the world."
Wuliang has a little flesh on his face and a gray beard, and he looks very kind-hearted.
When he spoke with a smile, the flesh on his face was piled together, and people who didn't know him couldn't put him together with De Dao Gao Shen.
After hearing this, Pei Jian drank tea silently while unconsciously turning the beads with her other hand.
Turning around, it turned to the jade beads on the Buddhist beads.
The jade beads still carried his body temperature and were not smooth.
When he thought that this was the Heart Sutra specially carved by the little girl, his heart became even more uneasy.
At this time, Wuliang put down the cup in his hand, stood up and walked outside. While looking at the few stars in the sky, he slowly counted them with his fingers.
After a long while, he turned around and said, "I'll do the math for you. Do you want to guess the result?"
Pei Jian raised her eyelids and saw that he didn't speak, so he continued to speak on his own, "Did you know that Hong Luan's heart is moved?"
Don't make the joke too obvious. Pei Jian's heartbeat indeed skipped half a beat.
It's not that he hasn't thought about this result, but when others point it out, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
Wuliang sat back and gave him some more tea.
"Do you want me to settle your affair with that girl again?"
"No need." Pei Jian lowered his eyes and spoke softly, "She and I..."
It's impossible after all.
"With her what?"
"Destined but not destined."
"No, no, no." Wuliang shook his head, "That's not what I calculated. There are some things that you should know better than a monk like me. No one knows the outcome until the last minute, right?"
His intention was so obvious that Pei Jian was stunned.
No one knows the ending until the last moment?
At this time, Pei Jian was standing at the gate of the palace, listening to the soft hum and looking at the little girl hiding behind Mrs. Tu who did not want to look at him, she was also slightly startled.
After Tu's father and others met Pei Jian, Mrs. Tu gently pulled Tu Qingyu's sleeve.
"You kid, how can you behave like this? Come out and meet your Uncle Pei." If you don't like Pei Kangsheng, you don't like Pei Kangsheng. You can't blame Pei Jian for that.
What's more, Pei Jian and Pei Kang can't beat father and son halfway.
If Pei Kangsheng and Pei Jian were biological, then they could still blame Pei Jian for not educating his son well.
But all of them knew Pei Jian's temperament.
Pei Kangsheng was taken over by Mrs. Pei forcefully. Pei Jian had always disliked this adopted son.
"It doesn't matter." Pei Jian said quietly, "Go in."
Pei Jian had the highest official position here, and Tu's father made a gesture of invitation.
Pei Jian did not refuse. When leaving, he glanced at the little girl who was still hiding behind Mrs. Tu and refused to say a word to him.
From his perspective, he could only see half of his body and a pair of long, white hands twirling the handkerchief.
After meeting her several times, he finally got to know this little girl a little bit.
Turning the veil like this is a sign of irritability.
There were a lot of people at today's flower viewing banquet. Even though everyone tried to lower their voices, Tu Qingyu still felt it was very noisy when he walked in.
She followed Mrs. Tu, looking boredly at the brilliant flowers blooming in the imperial garden.
It's just that her eyes are on the flowers, but other people's eyes are on her.
"Why does she seem to be getting prettier?"
"Did you notice it too?"
"Yeah, I can hardly remember what she looked like originally."
"Isn't that what she was originally like?"
"Yes, if you look closely, she seems to be the same as before, but I always feel that she is even more beautiful."
"Didn't you say you wanted to be friends with her before? How about it? Did she come to the banquet your mother hosted last time?"
"I'm here, but I...I don't dare to talk to her."
"Look at your potential. It's almost three months before the polo match. Now that it's almost midsummer, your speed is really slow."
"Okay, go ahead, you really don't know, standing in front of her will really make you so nervous that you can't speak.
Fortunately, she is very gentle and I have gained nothing. Now we can talk. "
……
In addition to them, many people are discussing Tu Qingyu.
Some ladies even said bluntly, "It's a pity that she has already been settled by the Pei family, otherwise..."
"Yes, look at her all-over style. The more delicate she is, the more delicate she becomes. Among us, none of us are very capable."
"We didn't find out a few years ago, so we let the Pei family decide first."
Most of these looks and discussions were well-intentioned, and only a few people wanted her to die.
For example...Xu Ying.
At this time, she was hiding behind a cluster of peonies, seemingly sitting on the table drinking tea. In fact, her eyes had never left Tu Qingyu since Tu Qingyu came in.
With that sinister and fierce look, it seemed as if he would pounce on Tu Qingyu in the next moment and bite Tu Qingyu to death.
Tu Qingyu: "Will her foot injury be cured?"
According to the current medical level, it is unusual for someone to be well enough to attend a banquet in three months.
Dabao: "It was Xu's father who hired an orthopedic expert for her. That person had received some favors from Xu's father in the early years. Xu's father didn't want to raise such a big daughter and see his daughter who could be married become useless, so he used this favor.
But she's not all right. Take a closer look later and you'll see that she's walking quite carefully. "
Most ladies here don't take big steps when walking, but Xu Ying's is obviously different.
Tu Qingyu: "Does she want to cause trouble in the palace?"
This was a question, but Tu Qingyu was unusually sure.
Without a clear purpose, who would endure the pain and go out?
Dabao: "There is a girl from a branch of the Xu family who works as a female official in the palace. It is said that the girl even calls Xu Ying aunt. In the early years, this girl was also set up by Xu Ying and owed Xu Ying a favor."
Tu Qingyu: "What does she want to do this time?"
Dabao: "What else can you do? Either, try to snatch that scumbag away and confirm the adultery between the two of you, or ruin your reputation so that she can get the upper hand."
