The door was pushed open, Feng Xiang stood at the doorway, squinting to look inside.
He was old, his eyes were not very good, he only saw Xu Guang's burly outline, but didn't see the ferocious expression clearly. He said, "Oh", "Yongjia, I called you for a long time but you didn't respond, is there a guest?"
Feng Yongjia nodded and carefully glanced at Xu Guang's expression, afraid that he would say something in front of his father, and was anxious to drive Feng Xiang away: "Dad, if there is anything, can't we talk about it tomorrow? I have a distinguished guest."
"My guest is even more distinguished." Feng Xiang said, "Yongjia, he is our family's benefactor. He is leaving, and his legs are inconvenient. You go and see him off."
Feng Yongjia was a little impatient, and said in a low voice: "We have so many servants, let them see him off, I'm busy."
"Unfilial son!" Feng Xiang yelled at him, but he couldn't bear to let his son go, so he softened his voice and said, "Your food and clothing are all thanks to that nobleman. Don't be rude, go quickly."
After that, he turned to Xu Guang and bowed his hands, saying, "I'm sorry for not treating this guest well. I hope you can forgive me."
Xu Guang sneered and turned to Feng Yongjia and said, "Your father is still a kind-hearted person, why did you raise such a prodigal son like you?"
Feng Yongjia nodded and nodded. Feng Xiang heard the words clearly, but he didn't understand why his son was a prodigal son?
He opened his mouth and was about to ask something when Feng Yongjia suddenly stood up and pushed him out in a few moves: "Dad
, wait a moment for me to say a few words, I'll send you off right away." Feng Xiang went out and Feng Yongjia slammed the door. When he faced Xu Guang, his expression changed again. He swallowed hard and begged: "Sir, please give me two days, five days, at most five days, and I will get the money back to you."
Xu Guang leaned his head back on the chair, tapped his knees twice with the whip, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay."
He stood up, got close to Feng Yongjia's face, and breathed into his ear: "If it's not enough, I'll cut off a few of your apples and sell them to make wine, and you pay me back."
Feng Yongjia's face turned pale and his legs were so weak that he almost fell down.
Xu Guang pulled him up by the back of his collar: "Come on, take me to see what your father's benefactor looks like."
...
Baoning and Pei Yuan sat in the car with the door open, and they could see the scene outside.
The cart was pulled by a brown mare. Saifeng stood two steps away from her, wagging her tail impatiently. The mare poked her head towards him to get close, but Saifeng glanced at her and walked away with a thump.
The mare's eyes lingered on him, and she looked a little disappointed.
Baoning thought, what kind of master trains what kind of horse, all of them are lonely and arrogant with bad tempers.
She suddenly remembered what Feng Xiang said at that time, that he said that the horse farm was for Pei Yuan to take care of. Bao Ning was curious, so she went over to ask him: "Is that old man named Feng Xiang your old friend?"
Pei Yuan looked down at his nails: "I guess so."
He paused: "Feng Xiang is my old groom."
Bao Ning was surprised: "That horse farm..."
"I gave it to him." Pei Yuan still lowered his head. Bao Ning couldn't see his expression clearly, but heard his faint voice, "When my mansion was raided, he protected something very important to me and was injured because of it. I don't have anything else to give him. He likes horses, so I gave him the horse farm, hoping that he can spend his old age in peace."
What important thing is it? Maybe it was very private, Pei Yuan didn't say it, and Bao Ning didn't ask, he just smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so loyal."
Pei Yuan bent his fingers and placed them under his lips, blew on them, "There are many things you haven't thought of."
He remembered something, tilted his head and said, "My reputation is not very good, you weren't afraid when you married me?"
"You know you have a bad reputation." Bao Ning giggled, holding her face and looking at him, she said seriously, "I'm a little scared, but not too scared. At that time, I thought that you could at most scold me a few words, and it wouldn't hurt me, so I wasn't afraid. As for your past, that's the past, just like turning the pages of a book, one page is the next page, I don't care, let's look forward."
Pei Yuan raised his chin slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at her, "You seem to be lacking a heart."
Bao Ning was unhappy that he scolded people casually.
The next moment, Pei Yuan's hand came over and rubbed the back of her neck, whispering: "It's fine, silly girl is pitiful."
His breath brushed Baoning's face, Baoning's breathing stagnated for a moment, her head was dizzy, and she didn't hear what he said clearly.
Baoning moved her waist awkwardly, moved away from Pei Yuan, and grabbed his wrist to pull his hand down.
She saw Pei Yuan's nails. Maybe men don't know how to cut them, so they don't look good and have grown.
Baoning was eager to get rid of this ambiguous and somewhat awkward atmosphere, and said to Pei Yuan: "I'll help you cut it when we get home."
Pei Yuan continued: "The ones on your feet have grown too."
Baoning's face turned red, and after a long while, she said: "It's a bit too much."
Pei Yuan laughed.
They were chatting idly, and Feng Yongjia had already come over, followed by Xu Guang with a long beard.
Feng Xiang had never told Feng Yongjia about that. Pei Yuan's identity was somewhat special. He was a prince, but he had been punished. Feng Xiang knew that his son was a little naive, so he didn't mention Pei Yuan to him too much, and only said that he was a benefactor.
Feng Xiang taught Feng Yongjia to be diligent and frugal, to work more and talk less, but Feng Yongjia probably didn't listen much. He wore a silk dress and stood beside Feng Xiang, like a rich young master and an old servant.
Feng Xiang knocked on the car window and said, "Sir, it's not easy for you to go back with the horse by yourself, let my son ride it back."
Pei Yuan tapped the back of Bao Ning's hand and said, "Your horse, whether you agree or not, it's up to you."
Bao Ning was a little surprised. Pei Yuan said he would give her the horse, and she didn't care much at first. Now listening to Pei Yuan's words, Bao Ning felt something strange in her heart.
Pei Yuan had a bad temper, sometimes like a bandit, but he was a man who kept his promises.
Baoning laughed, "Listen to Uncle Xiang."
Feng Xiang was also very happy. He turned around and waved at Feng Yongjia, "Yongjia, let's go, set off."
Feng Yongjia responded and said goodbye to Xu Guang in a low voice, "My lord, I'll go first."
Xu Guang stood with a knife in his arms, and the three servants behind him laughed lightly, "Hmm."
Feng Yongjia was relieved and walked towards Saifeng. He was a little scared in his heart. This horse was too wild and disobedient. He was afraid that he could not control it and make a fool of himself.
Sure enough, as soon as his hand touched the reins, Saifeng got angry and raised his hoof to kick him. Feng Yongjia hurriedly dodged backwards. Xu Guang saw it and laughed out loud.
Pei Yuan heard the noise outside, lifted the curtain with his fingers, and said in a deep voice, "Saifeng, be obedient."
Xu Guang looked over when he heard the voice. He had just glanced casually, but when he saw Baoning's profile by the window, his heart sank.
He recognized Baoning, and fearing that he had seen her wrongly, he narrowed his eyes slightly and took a step forward, wanting to see more carefully.
Baoning noticed the burning gaze and also looked over to the side. It was already dark outside, and she couldn't see Xu Guang's face clearly. She didn't care and turned her head away. Pei Yuan lowered the curtain.
Saifeng listened to him and really behaved herself. Feng Yongjia got on the horse nervously. The coachman shouted "Drive", and the carriage moved slowly, and Feng Yongjia also controlled the horse to move forward.
Xu Guang stared at the back of the carriage, his eyes like swords, as if he wanted to stare a hole in the carriage.
Someone asked him, "Sir, what are you looking at?"
Xu Guang sneered, "I'm looking at the beauty of my enemy's family."
He had lost face when he followed Huang Ji to find Pei Yuan, and he had been holding a grudge in his heart, thinking about when to get his face back, but he had never found a suitable opportunity to do it.
Now, the opportunity came without any effort.
He waved his hand and said to the back, "Let's go!"
When Baoning got home, the You hour had passed, and the sky was full of stars.
