Chapter 11: Poor. My Zhengjun is gentle and weak.
Under normal circumstances, Pei Ji would naturally not punish them, but she could not lose face in front of her husband, so she immediately asked Yuan Rong to go to the kitchen and bring a basin of beans with red and green beans mixed in it, and asked them to use chopsticks to carefully separate the beans.
This punishment was more painful than giving them two knife wounds. They howled at the top of their lungs, but their steps did not hesitate at all.
Pei Ji asked Yuan Rong to keep an eye on them, while he helped He Zhiliao onto the horse, and then he also mounted and supported him steadily from behind.
The shaking of his lower body made him feel strange and nervous, but his back was pressed against the solid and reliable chest.
Although he is a young man, he is no different from a man in general. He naturally likes things like riding horses, but he can't do it without Pei Ji.
They didn't arrive early to begin with, and after playing around for a while, it was soon noon.
He Zhiliao was weak and was exhausted after just a short while. Pei Ji quickly helped him sit down and fanned him gently with a round fan.
"Breathe slowly." Pei Ji frowned. He never expected that he would be so weak. Thinking of how he had to drag such a body to beat the Dengwen drum in his previous life... the joints holding the round fan began to ache.
When Chun Jian came to report, he saw He Zhiliao sitting weakly. He quickly stepped forward to show concern, "Master, you must be tired. I've asked the kitchen to boil some hot water. You can take a bath and rest after dinner."
"Why don't you serve the food quickly?" Pei Ji said with a light click of his tongue, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"Yes," Harumi replied respectfully, stepping back to prepare.
.
The food was still to their liking, so after the meal they went to take a bath and change clothes. He Zhiliao didn't let Chunjian accompany her, and he entered the bathtub with difficulty.
I had never ridden a horse before, so naturally I had no idea that riding a horse would rub my legs.
After completely relaxing, the legs that had been rubbed and burning felt a little comfortable after being soaked in hot water. It can be seen that the burning pain in the legs was hotter than the hot water.
His delicate eyebrows knitted slightly as he wondered if he should ask Chun Jian to bring some ointment. However, if he did, Pei Ji would find him troublesome and stop teaching him how to ride...
Squeak——
The door outside was pushed open, and He Zhiliao was instantly startled. He hurriedly grabbed the clothes next to him, not caring that they were dirty clothes he had just taken off, and put them on in a panic.
"It's me."
Hearing the sound of water splashing inside, Pei Ji quickly spoke out and deliberately increased his pace.
I wanted to tease him on purpose, but I didn't expect to scare him.
Pei Ji quickly apologized, "Sorry, I was mean, were you scared?"
He Zhiliao's heart was still pounding, his chest heaving violently, and his bright eyes were red and faintly watery due to excessive fright.
He remembered how He Ruman and He Ruxi had played a trick on him before...
The clothes he had taken off were wet and stuck to his body because of his actions, his hair was wrapped around his neck like a thin snake, and his faintly visible collarbone seemed to emit an alluring fragrance, making Pei Ji want to take a bite of it immediately.
Pei Ji picked up the cloth beside him and wrapped him up, then threw the wet and dirty clothes aside. He held him in his arms and soothed him softly, "Okay, it's my fault. I wanted to get some medicine for you, but I didn't expect to scare you."
"Ah?" He Zhiliao looked at him with trembling eyelashes.
"People who learn to ride horses for the first time will often rub their legs. I prepared some ointment, but I forgot to give it to you just now." Pei Ji said as he stretched out his hand to touch his leg. Noticing the person in his arms trembling, he withdrew his hand. "Do you want me to help you, or do it yourself?"
He Zhiliao silently took the ointment, the meaning of which was self-evident.
Pei Ji raised the corner of his lips, helped him to sit on the chaise longue, turned his back to let him apply the medicine himself, and did not forget to chat with him.
"Why were you so scared just now? No one except me dares to break in here." Pei Ji's words were gangster and complacent, as if to say that only he was so shameless.
He Zhiliao curled his lips silently, how could he say such shameless words?
Pei Ji stared at the window coffin, his eyes filled with gloom and coldness, but he still smiled, "Let me think, was he bullied before when he was in the He family? He Ruman or He Ruxi? Our little Zhiliao has been bullied all the time, it's really pitiful..."
He Zhiliao keenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong with him. After applying the medicine and putting on his clothes, he walked to him uncomfortably and gently tugged at his clothes.
"What's the matter?" Pei Ji smiled. "This ointment smells really good. Apply it frequently over the next two days. Don't hurt yourself."
"Ah." He Zhiliao nodded slightly.
Pei Ji carried him back to the bedroom. He had played and eaten, and it was time for a nap.
He Zhiliao lay down obediently, and before Pei Ji could say a few words, she gradually fell asleep to his low voice.
"Go in and guard him." Pei Ji walked out of the bedroom and looked at Chun Jian who had been guarding the door. After he went in, he gestured for Yuan Rong to come closer and said, "Send someone to investigate everything that happened before Zheng Jun got married."
Yuan Rong immediately responded in a deep voice and retreated quietly.
Pei Ji had no habit of taking a nap. Thinking that the little mute would need to sleep for at least an hour, he simply went to the arena to practice with his subordinates.
His subordinates have a close relationship with him. Some of them have worked with him since they were in the military camp, and some have followed him since they were young.
Aristocratic families always make multiple preparations, and the Pei family is no exception. Pei Ji also knows how important it is to cultivate one's own people, so no matter in his past or present life, when he learned that the little mute only had Chun Jian, he was shocked.
"Jin Ling, notify the secret agents in other manors to keep a close eye on the court. Also, let Wu Yan choose two suitable people. I can be of use to them." Pei Ji said in a calm voice.
The pretty boy Jin Ling and Yuan Rong were stunned at first, then their expressions changed. They looked at him in shock and disbelief, as if they had thought of something.
Yuan Rong even politely reminded him, "Master, you've just gotten married. It's not good to take a concubine so soon, right? Besides, your husband's health isn't good, so you shouldn't rush to have a legitimate son, right?"
"You're getting more excited the more you talk." Pei Ji glanced at him, "Which of Wu Yan's men can I marry?"
Wu Yan, who was not present: "..."
You are aloof.
Jin Ling suddenly realized, "Master, you want to choose two maids for Zheng Jun? That would be very suitable. She is good at using poison and killing people without being seen. It is very convenient for her to be in the inner house."
Pei Ji: “…”
Pei Ji looked helplessly at Jin Ling, who was innocent but full of thoughts of fighting and killing: "My Zhengjun is gentle and weak, you keep talking about fighting and killing and scare him again, watch your words!"
"...Yes." Jin Ling thought about it and agreed immediately.
The master of the house is indeed extremely timid and weak. He doesn't hate this character, but if he is in the inner house or the backyard, especially where there are many women, he will really suffer.
The people raised by Wu Yan can protect him very well.
Jin Ling went to do it immediately.
In the next few days, Pei Ji took He Zhiliao to learn self-defense and horse riding, and he was able to get along peacefully with Pei Ji's subordinates. Although he would still be scared by them occasionally, he felt much more at ease knowing that they had no bad intentions.
After playing in Zhuangzi for a few days, the two returned to the city.
Although they were extremely low-key when they left the city, outsiders were now keeping a close eye on the Pei and He families, and naturally they would find out that the domineering Fourth Young Master Pei had brought his newly married wife, Xin Zhengjun, to the farm to play.
When aristocratic families marry, they never consider affection but only benefits.
They all knew how much the fourth young master of the Pei family hated the mute of the He family. When he first learned about the marriage, he even went to the Qinzheng Palace to make a scene. Now he took him out to play. If he didn't want to kill him, it must be because it would be profitable for the He family.
Therefore, there has been a constant stream of people visiting the He family in recent days.
"It's the He family who benefited from it."
When Pei Ji learned about this, he just sneered, and the cold light that flashed in his eyes made people shudder.
"Don't you know that this trip will inevitably attract other people's attention?" Pei Ding glanced at him calmly, "It's obvious that they deliberately brought him into everyone's sight."
Pei Ji smiled silently and said innocently, "What does it have to do with me? I want to take my own master out. Do I need to make so many plans?"
Pei Ding exposed him bluntly, "You used to be annoyed with him the most. Who would believe you if you said you had no ulterior motive? Just try to coax that poor little fool, but don't let him convince you."
This was a real misunderstanding, and Pei Ji naturally had to make some excuses. Couldn't he have been sincere? Besides, he was sincere.
Although he did have some calculations, it was not for himself.
"I don't want to argue with you about this." Pei Ding turned a deaf ear to his explanation. "Do whatever you want, just don't cause any trouble, otherwise my eldest sister will definitely call you into the palace and scold you again."
"I know." Pei Ji snorted.
He had been keeping an eye on the little mute these days and really hadn't had the time to think about his past life. Such a big situation must have had signs early on, so he had to find out those unusual things as soon as possible and then find a way to resolve them.
But because of his rebirth, who knows how many things will change as a result, so we still have to be careful and cautious.
After leaving Pei Ding's yard, Pei Ji immediately returned to Qingyuan. When he learned that He Zhiliao was practicing calligraphy, he did not disturb her and returned to his study to sort out his thoughts.
But it's still in vain...
He had never set foot in the court in his previous life, so naturally he had no idea how treacherous and changeable the court was. Even if he asked those people to keep an eye on the court, they would at most know some superficial things, but he would need to experience the internal things himself.
Since his father and brothers were all officials in the court, he naturally also wanted to pursue a career in politics, hoping that joining the court would benefit his family.
He should have been able to get an official position based on his military achievements, but all his hopes were dashed.
The past is not important. What is important is how to plan for the future. But no matter what, there is no time to rush.
"Yuanrong!"
"Master."
Pei Ji frowned slightly, "Why hasn't the person Wu Yan arranged arrived yet?"
"She was very selective in her words. I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer. After all, it's for the safety of the Lord." Yuan Rong took advantage of the distance and said tactfully because Pei Ji might not be able to see his expression.
In fact, what Wuyan said was even more terrible.
Pei Ji sighed softly and said impatiently, "If you can't send her here before dinner tonight, you can go with her."
"...I'll go and urge them right away!"
Yuan Rong left in a hurry after saying this. He didn't want to follow Wuyan and her group of crazy people!
"Fourth Young Master, Madam asks you to come over."
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Pei: "Go find two people, I can be of use."
Yuan Rong: "Spread the word, I want to take a concubine!"
Pei: You are my karma [rainbow fart]
