Chapter 29 Sir, see you tomorrow~

Pei Jingxu stood in place, looking at Rong Jianxue with her beautiful eyes, looking a little restrained.

Shen Qianfan and Rong Jianxue sat at the stone table in the courtyard, each holding a piece and playing chess.

Looking at the newcomer, Shen Qianfan raised his lip and eyebrows, then nodded towards Pei Jingxu: "Greetings, Second Lady Rong."

Pei Jingxu took a deep breath, suppressed the hostility and viciousness in his eyes, and only revealed a bit of confusion.

She "subconsciously" cast a questioning look at Rong Jianxue.

"It's... a student who came to seek advice." Rong Jianxue pondered for a moment and explained.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jingxu smiled at Chen Qianfan and bowed slightly.

"Second Madam, please call me Gu... just call me Yuanzhou." Chen Qianfan smiled gently.

"Master Yuanzhou."

Pei Jingxu didn't expose the truth. He was still holding yesterday's homework in his hands, his face gentle and obedient. "If the master is busy, Ah Xu, please go to the study and wait."

"No need," Rong Jianxue stood up and placed the black piece in his hand on the chessboard: "It's over."

"Hmm? Sir, you can't be so sure, right?" Shen Qianfan didn't believe it and picked up another white piece to check.

But he looked at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and chuckled.

He stood up and bowed to Rong Jianxue, "The student lost."

After saying this, Shen Qianfan did not leave. He turned slightly and his eyes fell on Pei Jingxu.

"I have long heard of Madam Pei's great name. Everyone says she is the most beautiful woman in the capital. Now it seems that what they say is true."

The hand hidden in the sleeve tightened slightly, and a cold look flashed in Pei Jingxu's eyes.

Shen Qianfan is like a smiling tiger. He appears to be easy to talk to everyone on the surface, but can stab you in the back without making a sound.

Pei Jingxu needs to be more careful with people like this.

She bit her lip slightly and lowered her head: "Mr. Yuanzhou, thank you for your kind words."

Shen Qianfan looked her over and chuckled, "I heard that the Second Lady is learning to read accounts from the Eldest Young Master. If the Second Lady doesn't mind, I know a little bit and can teach her some experience."

Pei Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly. She wasn't sure what was in Chen Qianfan's mind, but she raised her eyes and looked at Rong Jianxue with a slightly panicked look.

"You should go back."

Rong Jianxue spoke coldly, his voice falling silent.

As he spoke, he handed the basic chess manual in his hand to Shen Qianfan: "You are attacking too fiercely and too hastily. Take these chess manuals and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qianfan laughed dryly twice and took it respectfully: “Thank you, sir.”

After saying that, Shen Qianfan looked at Pei Jingxu and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. If you need anything, you can come and ask me."

After bowing slightly to Rong Jianxue, Shen Qianfan turned and left.

Looking at Chen Qianfan's leaving back, Pei Jingxu pursed his lips slightly, his eyes slightly cold.

Rong Jianxue is the prince's tutor. If she wants Shen Qianfan to not dare to touch her, then she must hold on to Rong Jianxue's "thigh" tightly.

Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu turned around and faced Rong Jianxue: "Sir, this Young Master Yuanzhou... is he your good friend?"

Originally, Rong Jianxue was standing behind Pei Jingxu. She suddenly turned around, and Rong Jianxue didn't have time to step back, so the distance between them became a little close.

The soft scent of jasmine came, and Rong Jianxue's heart jumped. She took a few steps back calmly.

"We can't really be considered friends," Rong Jianxue said in a normal voice, "we can only be considered half-teacher and half-student."

Pei Jingxu nodded, seemingly understanding, then smiled and tilted his head slightly: "Then my Lord and I are half teacher and student."

Rong Jianxue's eyes moved slightly.

There seemed to be no emotion in his deep eyes. He took two steps back before speaking: "Well, it's okay."

After saying that, he turned sideways and walked towards the study: "Let's go, it's time to start today's class."

"good!"

Rong Jianxue is very satisfied with Pei Jingxu as a "student".

He does not discriminate against students based on whether they are stupid or smart; the most important thing to him is their attitude towards learning.

Pei Jingxu is very good.

She doesn't learn quickly, nor is she the smart person who understands things quickly, but she is very serious. If she doesn't understand something, she will ask politely and will not be vague or perfunctory.

After a day of teaching, the time and progress were just right.

"Just learn these today. Rest tomorrow morning. You can come see me in the afternoon."

Pei Jingxu nodded happily upon hearing this: "Great! It just so happens that I have an appointment with Hongyao to go to the cloth shop tomorrow to make some clothes."

Because the course went smoothly, Rong Jianxue was in a good mood. The corners of his mouth curved slightly: "It's a good thing to go out and walk more."

Pei Jingxu smiled, his eyes curved, "Sir, would you like to have a new dress made? I can pick out some cloth for you when I go to the cloth shop."

"No need. My mother just sent me a few sets at the beginning of the month, and I haven't worn them yet."

Pei Jingxu nodded and said nothing more.

She packed up her books and stood up: "Then Ah Xu will go back first and won't disturb you anymore."

"Um."

The woman walked out of the study and took a few steps toward the courtyard gate. As if she remembered something, Pei Jingxu turned around abruptly, holding the book in her arms, and bowed slightly to the man in the study: "Sir, see you tomorrow."

Her eyes are bright and there is a warm smile on the corners of her mouth.

Rong Jianxue paused slightly while tidying up the books.

He looked up a little slowly and met the woman's gaze.

"See you tomorrow."

--

Pei Jingxu got up very early the next day.

She was going to the cloth shop to make clothes today, so she asked Hongyao to dress her up early.

After leaving the mansion, Pei Jingxu took Hongyao and walked towards the cloth shop.

February Spring Breeze is the largest cloth shop in the capital.

All the newly made materials from Jiangnan and foreign lands are sent here. The fabrics here are the most fashionable and diverse in the capital.

"What kind of material does this girl want to see?"

As soon as Pei Jingxu entered the door, a waiter came up to him and asked.

Although she was dressed simply, her face was so beautiful and eye-catching that she looked like the daughter of a wealthy family.

Pei Jingxu raised an eyebrow and looked around: "Do you have anything plain in your store? The material must be the best, price is not a problem."

"Yes, yes, yes. Miss, please come this way."

The clerk led Pei Jingxu to the side and presented her with a piece of cloth. "Look, young lady! This is the newly arrived Tianyun yarn from Jiangnan. Touch it. Wow, it really looks like clouds."

"This material is very fine, so it can't be dyed with bright colors. But this inherent white is full of brilliance. Look, it looks like water under the sunlight."

When Pei Jingxu was in the Pei family, he had seen the best materials, but now that he had this material in his hands, he could only say that it was okay.

"There are two pieces of this material in total. The other one was bought yesterday by the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She said she would wear it for the Qixi Lantern Festival in a few days!"

Qixi Lantern Festival?

Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

According to the Qixi tradition in Chang'an City, a woman is chosen as the "Weaver Girl" at the annual Qixi Lantern Festival to perform a dance on a high platform, which symbolizes blessing men and women and helping them to achieve a happy marriage.

In the previous life, Chen Congyue became the "Vega", but when performing a dance, he pulled her onto the stage and called her a "backup dancer".

In the end, she was falsely accused of pushing Shen Congyue off the platform, causing the people to curse her and want her to be beaten.

Prime Minister Chen Anshan loves his daughter dearly, so he goes straight to her house and says that Pei Jingxu is jealous, competitive, vicious and cruel!

In the end, he made Pei Jingxu kowtow and apologize to Shen Congyue in front of the Rong Mansion before he gave up.
