The young man had a gentle look on his face. "Madam, are you from Qinghe? Do you have any documents?"
Pei shook her head, "There is no document..."
The young man frowned. "Well, do you still remember your family's name? I can send someone to ask for you. People who are not from Qinghe cannot enter Qinghe County."
Pei was about to speak when Chen Daoyu came over with a cold look in his eyes. "Madam Gu, we are all exiled prisoners now. It's not appropriate for you to go and look for your relatives, right?"
Pei was stunned.
Xie Ling came over and stood in front of Pei, saying, "It will take a long time to go to Jeju without going through Qinghe. Mr. Chen, you should think about it carefully."
Pei's mind, which had been scattered due to excitement, gradually came back to its original state. She said in a cold voice, "I just used my identity to enter Qinghe. Besides, filial piety comes first in Beijiang. As a daughter of the Pei family, shouldn't I go and visit Qinghe when I pass by?"
Chen Daoyu narrowed his eyes.
It’s not that people from Qinghe can’t enter Qinghe, but if he wants Pei to recognize him, he’s afraid that they will escape through Pei’s house…
Chen Daoyu rubbed his temple.
I thought the Pei family wouldn’t be so blatant, right?
If the Gu family disappears in Qinghe, the Beijiang court will first look for the Pei family!
If you don’t go through Cheongha to Jeju, it will take at least half a month, and the journey is full of deep mountains and forests, and full of wild animals.
And that plan is about to be implemented and cannot be delayed.
Chen Daoyu came back to his senses and smiled, "How could that be? It's natural for Madam Gu to visit her relatives, and we still have to rely on you to enter Qinghe County."
Pei nodded slightly and gracefully.
The young man at the side waited until the conversation was over before he said hastily, "Exiled prisoner, the daughter of the Pei family... Madam, may I ask if you are the eldest daughter?"
Although Pei has been married for many years, people in Qinghe County are still used to calling her the eldest lady.
Pei nodded, "Yes."
The young man's eyes widened, his face full of excitement, but he managed to maintain his dignified demeanor and said, "Welcome back to Qinghe, Miss. I'll go and tell you right away!"
In just a moment, a group of majestic people hurried over from the main street.
Leading the group was an elderly lady with dignified manners, her hair as white as silver, she was dressed in a moon-white long coat and had her hair tied up in an elegant bun. Even though she was over sixty years old, she still looked graceful and elegant.
As soon as Pei saw her, her eyes became moist and she called out "Mother" in a trembling voice.
Old Madam Pei's dignified demeanor could no longer be maintained. She showed some of the heartache of an old mother and touched Madam Pei's face with trembling hands.
"Yueqing, I never thought you would pass by Qinghe..."
The mother and daughter exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Madam Pei resumed her elegant demeanor and ordered, "Take all these people to the old house and settle them down properly."
As soon as he finished speaking, several servants in blue and white double-breasted robes came over and led the exile team to Pei Mansion.
Walking into Qinghe County, everyone discovered that the prosperous streets and densely populated areas of Qinghe County were completely different from other places in Beijiang.
There are many rivers in Qinghe County, with countless tall buildings standing along the rivers, surrounded by misty waves and the sound of flutes and pipes.
Thousands of gauze lanterns are hung on the peach and willow trees along the bank, creating a prosperous scene with elegant ladies in fine clothes.
On the way, Madam Pei first looked at Ru Jie'er and Li Ge'er, and finally came to Gu Wei and said distressedly: "Grandma's darling Shi Jin, it's a good thing you recovered, otherwise grandma's old bones really couldn't bear it."
The maid at the side continued, "When the news of the young master's serious illness first came, the old lady couldn't eat or sleep well, which made us servants very anxious."
Gu Wei lived in Qinghe for a period of time when he was a child, and had a very deep relationship with Mrs. Pei and Mr. Pei.
Among all the descendants of Mrs. Pei, Gu Wei is the one she loves the most.
Gu Wei said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, grandma. Shi Jin is fine now thanks to Madam's treatment."
Old Madam Pei turned her gaze to Xie Ling who was standing beside her. She saw that although the girl was young, she had a good temperament and manners, clear eyes, and was graceful and generous. She knew at first glance that she was a good girl.
She smiled kindly and amiably, "Good boy, you are so pretty, you are a perfect match for my Shi Jin."
Xie Ling said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, Grandmother, for the compliment. Gu Wei often talked about you in my ear, saying that you are dignified and kind, and you love him very much. I have always wanted to meet you, and now I have met you, and it is just as he said!"
Madam Pei smiled from ear to ear and tapped Xie Ling's pretty nose, "What a sweet little mouth!"
Xie Ling just has a cold personality, but that doesn't mean she has no emotional intelligence.
Will people who come out in the last days have simple lives?
Xie Ling learned the skill of speaking differently to different people when she was only seven or eight years old.
As long as she wants, she can make everyone happy.
The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards Pei's residence.
It attracted countless people's attention along the way.
Everyone in Qinghe County knows what Old Madam Pei looks like.
The passers-by on the street, no matter they were peddlers or noblemen, all stretched their necks and looked around, curious about who could have been greeted personally by the honorable Madam Pei.
When they arrived at the Pei Mansion, everyone looked at the majestic and magnificent house and sighed, it was truly worthy of being a century-old family with wealth and status.
There were two lifelike stone lions squatting on the north side of the street, behind the lions were three big gates with animal heads, and in front of the gates were four or five people in gorgeous clothes and hats sitting in a row.
The main gate was not open, and only the east and west corner gates had people entering and exiting.
There is a plaque above the main gate with four large characters "嘉造?沛府" inscribed on it. They are elegant and handsome, as graceful as a startled swan or a swimming dragon.
As soon as the few people walked over, the four or five people hurried over, surrounded Gu Wei, Pei and others, and talked in a buzzing manner, gesturing at Gu Wei's height from time to time.
