Chapter 388 World 9: Take shelter from the rain
"Uncle Pei, it's okay. I have been doing this kind of thing since I was a child, and I have never fallen." Even so, she did not let go of his hand.
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows, "Just now..."
"Haha..." She sneered, "That was an accident, an accident."
"If there is an accident, it proves that everything is not completely fine."
"Oh, I know." The little girl pouted, and thinking that the other party had indeed saved her, she reached out and handed the peach blossom in her hand to Pei Jian, "Hey, here it is for you. Thank you Uncle Pei for saving your life."
"Not really." He raised his hand and accepted the bouquet of peach blossoms.
"Why doesn't it count? Speaking of which, Uncle Pei saved me twice."
"Next time, just don't be so reckless."
"Am I reckless?" She widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, "Am I reckless?"
The man looked at him quietly without speaking.
"Huh!" She turned her head, "I really feel that I am the smartest woman in the world."
Her airy look inexplicably put a hint of smile in his eyes.
"you're right."
Smart, huh.
"you do not believe?"
"I believe."
She looked suspicious and whispered, "You don't look like you believe me."
Then he puffed up his chest and said, "Forget it, I'm going to play. Uncle Pei, you can do it yourself."
After taking two steps, she stepped back and said, "Didn't you go drinking with my dad? Why are you here alone?"
"Boy, come out for a walk."
She nodded, "It's up to you."
With that said, she quickly walked out of his sight.
He looked at the bunch of peach blossoms in his hand and couldn't help but reveal a relaxed smile.
"Sir, why are you here?" After a while, a servant from the Tu family came over. "My master said that the wine has been cooked. Please come over quickly."
Pei Jian nodded slightly and walked over with the bunch of peach blossoms.
Tu's father was surprised when he saw the peach blossom in his hand, "You are actually a person who can fold flowers."
He stared at the peach blossoms for a long time, then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, the ones that bloom the best are picked."
"Really?" Pei Jian also lowered his head and looked at the peach blossom in his hand, "The best..."
Tu's father didn't see anything wrong with him and raised his hand to pour him a glass of wine.
"Come on, have a drink. This wine is particularly refreshing and delicious."
"Ah."
This time around, everyone had a great time.
Pei Jian thought that after this time, he and the little girl would never see each other again.
Even if they see each other again, it will be when she gets married to her adopted son.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, he met someone again in his village.
There was a continuous spring rain that day, and the road became muddy as soon as it was washed away by the rain. The servants of the Tu family went to knock on the door of Pei Jianzhuangzi.
At that time, Pei Jian was handling official business in his study room. Next to him was a cluster of raised peach blossoms.
"Sir, a servant from the Tu family knocked on the door, saying that Miss Tu wanted to come in to take shelter from the rain."
Pei Jian's writing paused, he raised his head and said, "Please come in."
At this time, Tu Qingyu was protected by someone and entered Pei Jian's village holding an umbrella.
Pei Jian's village was left to him by his mother, and he liked staying here very much.
The scenery here is picturesque, the landscape is elegant, and the overall feeling is low-key and luxurious.
Pei Jian originally wanted to wait until she had washed up before coming out to meet people.
But for some reason, he put down his pen and walked to the main hall, waiting for people to be sent in.
The little girl was wearing a moon-white dress today, and her skirt was soaked with water.
There were some water drops on his hair, but he didn't look embarrassed. On the contrary, he felt a little pity for me.
"Uncle Pei..." I don't know if she was frightened, but she came in and called someone obediently.
There was still some mist in his eyes.
His heart was suddenly scratched.
"You went out alone today? Why don't you go back so late?"
The attendant beside Tu Qingyu bent down and replied, "Sir, my young lady went to the temple to offer incense today. She originally came with the third master and the third grandma, but then the third grandma suddenly fainted, and the third master was anxious to take the third grandma back to the city. After going to the doctor, he left someone behind and asked us to take the young lady home.
Unexpectedly, the carriage got stuck in the mud halfway through and could not get out.
Thinking that your Zhuangzi is nearby, I wanted the lady to come in first to take shelter from the rain. "
As the attendant spoke, Tu Qingyu nodded.
Pei Jian was almost amused by her appearance.
He raised his hand to cover the corners of his lips, "You go down and wash up first. It's raining heavily today, so I'll take you into the city tomorrow."
"it is good."
Early the next morning, Tu Qingyu got on Pei Jian's carriage.
The carriage was very big. After Tu Qingyu got on the carriage, he was not polite and sat wherever he felt comfortable.
As soon as I sat down, I was almost next to Pei Jian.
Pei Jian ducked to the side for a moment, then she asked with wide eyes, "Uncle Pei, what are you hiding from? But what's the bad smell on me?"
Although she asked in confusion, Pei Jian did not miss the cunning flash in her eyes.
"No."
"Then why are you hiding?"
He took a deep breath and rolled the beads in his hand, "Didn't your parents teach you that men and women should not be intimate with each other?"
What's more, the two of them will still have a relationship between father-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, so it's really not appropriate for them to be so close.
He thought that the little girl would refute the idea of men and women not being intimate, but he didn't expect it. She said directly: "I haven't been taught."
He was choked by these words. Just when he didn't know what to say, the prayer beads in his hand were grabbed.
"Uncle Pei, why do you always carry this string of Buddhist beads?"
Pei Jian looked at her white and tender hands covering the beads, and his breath froze.
The personal attendant outside accidentally looked in, and when he saw this scene, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
He was afraid that his master would not be able to hold back and would execute the young lady who touched his beads on the spot.
I vaguely remember that the woman who touched this prayer bead last time had her neck broken by her own master.
Although it was a masterpiece from another country, the scene of Pei Jian breaking a man's neck is still deeply etched in their minds.
From then on, everyone knew that the Buddha beads cannot be moved.
Later, it was passed from person to person, and it became known that whoever touches the string of beads on the wrist of the first assistant will die.
"Meditation."
It wasn't until the voice of an adult came from inside again that the people outside were completely relieved.
It seems that you still care about Master Tu, or in other words, do you care about your uncle?
He did not take the beads out of Tu Qingyu's hand. Tu Qingyu looked at them and felt that he was not interested, so he let go.
Sitting aside, we started drinking tea and eating snacks.
Pei Jian stroked the remaining warmth on the beads and felt even more uneasy in her heart.
After he calmed down, he looked up again and saw that the little girl was moving her head little by little and her eyelids were fighting.
When her head was about to hit the car wall, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop her.
