Chapter 30 He and I are one family~

Thinking of this, Pei Jingxu's eyes turned cold.

——This time, she really wanted to see if Shen Congyue could still become the "Vega".

"I bought this piece of cloth."

Pei Jingxu spoke coldly.

The waiter's eyes widened: "Girl, the price of our Tianyun yarn may be..."

Without waiting for the clerk to speak, Hongyao stepped forward and handed a heavy purse to the clerk.

"The rest is your reward."

The guy's eyes widened, and he just weighed the weight and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Okay, okay! I'll pack it up for you right away and send it to your house!"

Having received so much reward for free, the waiter did not dare to delay for a moment and started working diligently.

"You go with him to return the cloth. I'll go shopping for a bit and then go back."

"Yes, girl."

After giving instructions to Hongyao, Pei Jingxu walked out of the cloth shop and strolled casually on Chang'an Street.

——She planned to buy something for Rong Jianxue.

Something he sees often and uses often.

Walking slowly, Pei Jingxu's eyes suddenly lit up and he stopped in front of a stall.

"Boss, how much is this?"

Pei Jingxu was pointing at a Pixiu pen holder that had a strange shape and was even a bit ugly.

The vendor saw the pen holder Pei Jingxu was pointing at and blinked, his expression indescribable: "Miss, do you... like this?"

Pei Jingxu nodded: "Yes, I like this."

It’s better to be a little ugly, because only when she’s ugly will Rong Jianxue remember her deeply.

The vendor scratched his head sheepishly. "This is a small item fired in a porcelain kiln. I originally thought it wouldn't sell. If the girl likes it, just give it to her if you think she likes it."

Pei Jingxu curled his lips and smiled, throwing him a tael of silver.

When the peddler saw the silver, his eyes widened, as if he had no idea why such an ugly thing would be so popular with the girl!

Pei Jingxu picked up the ugly pen holder, said thank you, and turned to leave.

"Mrs. Pei, what a coincidence."

A voice came from behind her. Pei Jingxu turned around and saw Shen Qianfan holding a folding fan and looking at her with a smile.

In an instant, Pei Jingxu felt as if his body was covered with damp reptiles and his scalp was numb.

She forced a smile and bowed slightly: "Master Yuanzhou."

Shen Qianfan walked closer to her with a smile, his eyes fell on the ugly pen holder in her hand: "This is..."

Pei Jingxu: "I thought it was cute, so I bought it."

She didn't explain much and just thought about how to get rid of him.

Maybe it was because she often went to Rong Jianxue's East Courtyard, the time when she met Chen Qianfan in this life was too early.

In the previous life, even when Shen Qianfan sent people to rob her grain store, the two of them had never met.

It was after Bai Shutong returned to Beijing that she met Shen Qianfan on the pretext of wanting to vent her lover's anger.

She was not sure whether meeting Shen Qianfan early was good or bad for her, but one thing was certain: Shen Qianfan was more difficult to deal with than in her previous life.

After hearing Pei Jingxu's explanation, Shen Qianfan didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Why didn't you see the Second Lady go to the East Courtyard today?"

Pei Jingxu frowned slightly when he heard this and looked at him in confusion.

“Oh,” Shen Qianfan understood and explained with a smile, “I went down to ask Mr. Rong some questions this morning, and I didn’t see the Second Lady.”

"I'm on vacation today, so I didn't go." Pei Jingxu explained simply.

Chen Qianfan looked at Pei Jingxu, clearly still smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "I don't know why, but I always feel that... the Second Lady seems to hate me very much?"

"Did I do something that made Second Lady dislike me?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Pei Jingxu's back.

Her pupils contracted slightly, and her finger bones tightened subconsciously.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jingxu raised her eyes and met Shen Qianfan's gaze: "I just feel that since I am a woman from the inner house and Master Yuanzhou is a man from outside, we should be more cautious."

Hearing this, Shen Qianfan chuckled: "Second Lady, what you said, if you think about it carefully, Master Shaofu is also considered an outsider, why don't you see Second Lady avoiding him?"

Pei Jingxu raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes: "He and I...we are family. Master Yuanzhou and I...we have only met a few times. How can we compare?"

The smile on Shen Qianfan's lips slowly disappeared, and he looked at Pei Jingxu with eyes like those of a poisonous snake or scorpion.

Pei Jingxu raised her eyes and met his gaze, not avoiding it.

for a long time.

Finally, Shen Qianfan laughed out loud. He fanned himself with his folding fan, his tone as gentle as ever: "Second Lady is right. I am sorry for being rude."

After saying that, Shen Qianfan bowed slightly: "The sun is getting high, Second Lady, please go back early. I'll take my leave."

"Master Yuanzhou, take care."

It was not until he saw Chen Qianfan disappear from his sight that Pei Jingxu finally seemed to have lost all his strength. He gasped for breath and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

——Looking at his cold and moist eyes, Pei Jingxu was still afraid of this high-ranking man.

It was also at this moment that Pei Jingxu realized that she had to seize the time to catch Rong Jianxue.

The male protagonist and male supporting characters in the entire story revolve around Bai Shutong. The only person Pei Jingxu can rely on is Rong Jianxue.

Squeezing the pen holder in his hand, Pei Jingxu did not linger any longer and walked towards Rong Mansion.

--

Pei Jingxu planned to use the Tianyunsha fabric to make clothes for himself.

She learned needlework.

To be frank, her needlework skills may not be matched even by the most famous needlework masters in the capital.

Her needlework was taught by her mother. In the early years, when she had nothing to do, she followed her mother and watched her sew clothes and do needlework. After a long time, she was able to figure out some new techniques on her own.

When she was fourteen years old and came of age, Pei Jingxu had her own coming-of-age dress sewn by herself. It caused a sensation in the capital at that time, and it was difficult to find a dress in the style of hers.

Since he wanted to embarrass Chen Congyue, Pei Jingxu didn't mind embarrassing her more thoroughly.

However, before making the clothes, Pei Jingxu wanted to give away the "gift" in his hand.

After lunch, Pei Jingxu took his books and went to the East Courtyard to study.

There was a tacit understanding between the two, and Rong Jianxue became more and more adept at teaching Pei Jingxu.

When I finished teaching the content, the sun had not yet set.

"You learn quickly and thoroughly. In a few days, once you've mastered the basics, I'll take you to the shop to learn how to run it."

Pei Jingxu smiled and nodded, looking at Rong Jianxue with eyes full of admiration: "Sir, I think you are amazing. Others say Ah Xu is stupid, but you can help me understand such complicated things."

Rong Jianxue frowned disapprovingly upon hearing this: "You're not stupid. It was just the teacher's fault for teaching before. It has nothing to do with you."

Pei Jingxu smiled shyly, but tilted her head to look at him with a smile on her face.

Rong Jianxue was packing up his books with his head down. Seeing Pei Jingxu looking at him like that, Rong Jianxue raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's wrong? Did you not understand anything in today's class?"

Pei Jingxu smiled and shook his head: "Sir, Ah Xu will show you something."

Rong Jianxue nodded slightly, stopped what he was doing, and looked at her sideways.

Pei Jingxu stretched out his fists as if they were treasures, and slowly opened his palms.

A silly and ugly Pixiu pen holder appeared in front of Rong Jianxue.
