Pei Yanli's expression remained unchanged: "It's okay. No one is born knowing how to solve cases. Miss, you just need to assist me."
Aunt Pei said happily, "Sisi, this is great! If you could work in the government office, your life would be more stable in the future. You two girls are alone out there with no one to rely on. What would you do if you ran into trouble?"
Li Nian listened to their conversation quietly, thinking to himself: If Sisi could get a job in the government, it would be a good choice.
In this era, you still have to have some power in your hands. You can't rely on Pei Yanli for everything in the future. Outsiders cannot be relied upon forever.
Although he seems to be just a small official working in the government office, his abilities are much greater than those of ordinary people.
Receiving Li Sisi's inquiring gaze, Li Nian nodded gently: "I think Brother Pei is right, we can give it a try."
She looked up at Pei Yanli and said with a smile, "I'll trouble Brother Pei to take care of me in the government office from now on."
Pei Yanli responded lightly without any emotion.
————
Before they knew it, they had already spent several days in Dong'an City, and Li Sisi had been working at the government office for two days.
When Li Nian woke up early in the morning, she saw Li Sisi dressed in a long dress and asked in confusion, "Sisi, aren't you going to the government office today?"
Li Sisi said as she fixed her hair, "Today is the day of the horse race! Brother Pei and I have asked for leave, and Aunt Pei and Second Brother Pei will go with us soon."
Looking at Li Nian, who was wearing a plain green dress, she couldn't help but remind her, "Why don't you change your clothes too? Oh, and put on a coat. The horse farm is outside the city, and the wind is really strong."
Although Li Nian doesn't like to go out and stroll around and chat, she still likes to join in the fun at large events.
So he replied, "Okay."
Li Niangang returned to the house.
Pei Yu'an came to their courtyard carrying a food box. When he saw Li Sisi, his eyes suddenly lit up.
His smile was gentle and polite, but his eyes were attracted by Li Sisi and were direct and enthusiastic: "Sisi, I bought you some Zhen cakes to eat on the road."
Li Sisi happily trotted towards him, her bright and beautiful face showing undisguised surprise: "Is this the Zhengao shop we ate at last time?"
She happily opened the food box and looked inside.
Then Pei Yu'an's low, mellow voice slowly rang out: "Well, last time you said that Zhenji's pastries tasted very similar to the pastries from your place south. I thought you must like it, so I went to buy some."
Li Sisi looked up and smiled and said to him, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Pei Yu'an was distracted by her bright smile, and the crisp words "I like it very much" drilled into his eardrums, making his heart beat wildly.
His cheeks flushed again. He coughed twice in embarrassment and said quickly, "Well, then I'll go get the carriage ready and wait for you... at the front gate."
Li Sisi looked at his blushing face with a smile and responded happily, "Okay."
Li Nian saw the interaction between the two from the window of the room.
After changing clothes and coming out, she asked softly, "Sisi, do you like Brother Pei?"
Li Sisi naturally took the water bottle and a bag of snacks from her hand and replied casually, "It's okay. He is not only good at medicine, but also a good rider. Most importantly, he has a good character. He is a good match."
After hearing her say this, Li Nian asked again, "So, do you plan to pursue him?"
Li Sisi shook her head. "How is that possible? This isn't modern times. He'd have to confess first, right? Besides, we're still in the wait-and-see phase. After all, we haven't known him that long. What if he has some shameful habits?"
"Besides, men in ancient times thought it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, so Brother Pei needs a long-term observation. He must be devoted to me and very obedient."
Li Nian nodded: "I understand."
When the two best friends arrived at the front gate, Pei Yu'an and Aunt Pei were already waiting for them there.
Aunt Pei saw them coming and came forward with a smile. She looked at Li Nian with concern and warned her, "Don't squeeze into the crowd later, or you'll get hit by those ignorant people."
She helped Li Nian carefully get on the carriage, then got in after her and loudly instructed her son, "Yu'an, please park the carriage closer to the racecourse so that Nian Nian can also see the racecourse from the carriage."
Pei Yuan responded slowly: "I understand."
The carriage began to move slowly. Taking into consideration the pregnant woman in the carriage, Pei Yu'an drove carefully, trying to make the carriage run smoothly.
The streets are very busy today, and many people are riding horses out of the city.
If there's one thing that makes Dong'an City better than the capital, it's probably the spacious streets. One street here is as wide as three streets in the capital.
The carriages arrived outside the city, and the riders began to gallop without any scruples.
A large number of people have gathered at the racecourse. The young men have already gone through the stage of taming wild horses and are now riding the horses to compete.
Pei Yu'an stopped the carriage among the crowd.
Li Sisi told Li Nian: "Wait for me in the carriage. I'm going to go find Bai Ying."
Li Nian nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
Li Nian is not the type of person who likes to go out. After Li Sisi went to work in the government office, Shen Baiying came to accompany her every day.
Shen Baiying told her that today was also her second brother's seventeenth birthday ceremony, and in today's competition, Baiying's second brother also said that he would win the first place and give her a trophy.
Shen Baiying's personality is similar to Li Sisi's, she talks about everything, and in these few days, Li Nian has almost heard everything about Shen Baiying's family situation.
