29 His cape?
However, Xiao Tingyun still had something to tell Caixing, so he called her in first, said a few words to her and let her go. Caixing didn't dare to look up the whole time. She only remembered to give the silver to the servant and let him live a good life.
Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but find it funny. Is the person opposite him so scary?
Cai Xing was so frightened that she looked at him without hiding anything, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Sir, you scared my maid."
Pei Yuning raised his eyebrows, "Is there?"
"No?" Xiao Tingyun asked back.
Pei Yuning denied it seriously, "I think...she is probably feeling guilty?"
Guilty?
She felt guilty for wrongly accusing a good person...
Xiao Tingyun didn't react for a moment, but after thinking for a while, his smile got bigger. "That's the first time I've seen her so guilty that she doesn't even care about me."
“Heh…” Pei Yuning lowered his eyes and smiled, like the warm sun in the cold winter, suddenly breaking through the sky.
Xiao Tingyun was dazed, but said that there really are people in this world who are unforgettable once you meet them.
Even though she has modern memories, she is still amazed by it, just like a book, with a heavy scent of ink and mystery hidden in the words in the book.
You need to read it carefully to understand it.
Xiao Tingyun thought that he didn't know his name yet, so he asked, "I have met you twice. My name is Xiao Tingyun. I haven't asked for your name yet?"
"Pei Yuning." Pei Yuning said without thinking.
"Pei?" Xiao Tingyun asked after a moment of hesitation, "But is it the Pei family of Huaizhou?"
Pei Yuning paused for a moment before putting down the teacup, then put it down steadily, "Not bad."
Xiao Tingyun was filled with awe. "I've heard about the Huaizhou Pei family's outstanding talents and strict family traditions since I was in Jiangnan, but I've never had the honor of visiting them. My second brother also studied in the Pei family's academy and praised them very much."
Pei Yuning's expression did not show any arrogance. Instead, he took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea and said, "Miss, you are so kind."
Xiao Tingyun took a sip and found it sweet, fragrant and lingering on his lips and teeth, with an endless aftertaste.
Then I thought of the old man who was cursing. It was no wonder that the Pei family member was dissatisfied when being cursed in such a way.
"I was wrong about the person before, and I am really sorry for causing Mr. Pei to suffer such humiliation." Xiao Tingyun considered his words carefully before speaking slowly.
Pei Yuning raised his eyes, his eyes dark and dark. Humiliation?
"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it." Pei Yuning concealed the strangeness in his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Tingyun looked at him for less than a moment before she lowered her eyelashes and looked away. His eyes were too sharp and always made her feel oppressed.
"Is this Master Pei's first visit to the capital?"
After the atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, Xiao Tingyun took the initiative to ask.
Pei Yuning shook his head. "Not really, but this is my first time in the Taifu Mansion, and I came to ask the Taifu some questions."
"I see."
"What's wrong with my clothes?" Pei Yuning noticed the water stain, which spread out a large dark area.
Xiao Tingyun lowered his head and saw that it was the wine that had spilled on his sleeves. "I accidentally spilled the wine on myself."
While the two were chatting, the doctor had already been called.
Zhang Quanfu signaled him outside to be careful in his response.
The doctor nodded to show that he understood.
"Go check her injuries?" Pei Yuning ordered someone to come forward.
The doctor hurried forward and pinched the ankle bone with his hand. Xiao Tingyun hissed in pain.
Pei Yuning raised his eyes slightly, which had been avoiding the view, and looked at the profile of the woman opposite him.
The woman's thin shoulders trembled slightly, and her fair profile showed her lips that were slightly bitten and turned white. Her hands were placed on the edge of the tea table and clenched tightly. Her slender jade-like hands clenched little by little, and the lotus-shaped hairpin on her head was visible.
I don't know why, but I suddenly heard Pei Yuning say, "Be gentle."
The doctor paused and said quickly, "Yes." Then he became more respectful and his movements lighter, slower and gentler.
Xiao Tingyun was surprised, and their eyes met unexpectedly. Pei Yuning looked normal. Xiao Tingyun tilted his head and pursed his lips, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.
If she turned around at this moment, she would definitely find that the man in front of her had lowered his brows and concealed the turmoil in his eyes.
After a careful examination, the doctor said to Pei Yuning, "This girl has no broken bones or muscles, just a simple sprain. I will prescribe some ointment for injuries later. Apply it to the painful area three times a day, and she will be back to normal in half a month."
"Thank you so much, doctor." Pei Yuning replied in a calm voice.
The doctor's hands trembled, and he pretended to be nonchalant, "You are too polite, sir."
Then he gave Xiao Tingyun some reminders on what he should pay attention to.
Xiao Tingyun nodded one by one, "Thank you, doctor."
After the doctor left, Xiao Tingyun joked, "Sir, do you know that doctor? Why didn't he explain the symptoms to me first, but kept talking to you, sir?"
Pei Yuning sneered, "Maybe the doctor thinks I'm a good person, so I look more reliable."
Xiao Tingyun laughed, then pretended to be serious, "Good man, could you please let this matter go? I'm afraid that if your reputation as a good person gets out, many people will come to you for charity!"
In fact, she suddenly thought of the nice guy card. It was the first time that she gave herself a nice guy card. This is the quote of a scumbag who has never changed!
Pei Yuning had no such concept and naturally could not understand it, but he was just trying to cover up his lie. Otherwise, the woman in front of him would not dare to talk to him like this anymore.
He just smiled and said, "Thank you for your teachings, young lady."
"Zhang Quanfu!"
"I'm here." The person who was looking at the two of them with an auntie smile on her face immediately stopped smiling and came out from the corner, bending over.
Pei Yuning ordered, "Get her a piece of clothing."
"No need!" Xiao Tingyun shook his head and refused, "The weather is good, it will be dry in a while."
If I suddenly changed my clothes, I'm afraid my family would not have peace.
A woman's reputation was important, not as free as in modern times, so Xiao Tingyun still insisted on saying no.
Although I am not well-groomed, it is better than being criticized when I go out.
Pei Yuning thought for a moment, "How about I get you a cloak?"
Without waiting for anyone to refuse, Zhang Quanfu hurriedly agreed and went out to find someone to get the cloak.
Xiao Tingyun curved his lips and thanked him, "Thank you very much."
"We've only met twice, but you seem to have said thank you a lot." Pei Yuning joked.
"It's because I have too many "troubles". " Xiao Tingyun also responded with a joke.
“I have a lot of troubles.”
"Then aren't we a troublesome duo?" Xiao Tingyun didn't expect him to say that, and subconsciously said something that didn't fit the situation at the moment.
Fortunately, although Pei Yuning felt that these words were a bit strange, he understood what she meant.
The atmosphere between the two of them was not so awkward anymore.
Zhang Quanfu presented a black cloak with both hands, and smiled brightly on his chubby face, "Miss, your cloak."
Pei Yuning frowned slightly but said nothing.
"Thank you." Xiao Tingyun took the cloak and a smell of pine resin came to his face.
Xiao Tingyun was startled and subconsciously looked at the person on the opposite side. The cloak in his arms suddenly felt hot.
