Chapter 33: Reminder. Aren't you really afraid that the whole yard will be dug up? ...
Qin Yurong got a headache when she saw them.
"Just go away, there's no need for you to cause trouble here." She said this with disgust, but there was a smile on her face as pale as paper. She was naturally happy to be cared for.
It's also true that I just don't want them to get in the way.
Pei Ji and his companions did not stay any longer and left the East Garden directly.
As the four of them walked side by side, Pei Ji suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mom seems to have changed a lot. Have you brothers noticed?"
"What do you want to say?" Pei Su looked at him puzzled.
"Mother used to always urge my second brother to get married, but today she only mentioned it once. This is strange in itself." Pei Ji said, not forgetting to tease him a bit, "My second brother will be thirty in two years, and mother can still wait?"
Pei Su sighed softly, his voice still gentle, "Pei Yunzhou, I'm still five or six years away from turning thirty, are you still talking nonsense?"
Pei Ji laughed carelessly, "Why bother with these little things? Aren't we talking about mother? Tell me, am I right?"
Most of the girls and boys in the capital are married when they are young, and they will get married when they reach the age of 15. However, the Pei family is an exception.
Over the years, even though she had good relations with the Song and Yan families, she never arranged a marriage for her daughter. She even didn't consider the family background when choosing a suitable man to marry her daughter, in order to avoid Emperor An's suspicion.
Even so, there are eligible young men available in recent years. Qin Yurong urged her two brothers every day before Pei Ji got married, but now that Pei Ji is married, she has stopped urging them.
That's why Pei Ji suddenly became confused.
Pei Su chuckled quietly, a smile etched in his words, "There's no need to rush. Just take care of your family. Your third brother and I have our own plans."
This statement is strangely distant.
Pei Ji knew that he had no such intention, but he was still a little hurt.
Since his rebirth, all his energy has been focused on how to lead the Pei family through the difficulties of their previous life. This is what he should do, and he has no intention of doing anything for the sake of success. However, he did not expect to hear his brother say such words.
It was as if it wanted to separate him and Xiao Zhiliao.
"I don't like to hear that." Pei Ji said and left immediately. He had just taken two steps when he remembered that He Zhiliao was still there. He went back to take him with him and left coldly and ruthlessly.
He Zhiliao was taken away by him, and he did not forget to turn around and salute them, but Pei Ji held his head and turned him away again.
"This is really annoying." Pei Su sighed helplessly.
"Your words are annoying." Pei Ding also glanced at him and left.
Pei Su stood there and laughed, thinking that he had become a bad guy.
There is really no other way. I have to use some good things to coax him. The third brother is easy to coax, but Yun Zhou needs to spend some effort.
Pei Ji returned to the main courtyard angrily, but he calmed down instead. He knew very well what his brother meant, but it was because of this that he felt sad.
[Don't be angry, my brother has no bad intentions.]
"Brother?" Pei Ji raised his eyes to look at him. "What kind of brother is he? If you can't call him that, just call him Pei Jingxing!"
He Zhiliao changed it quickly.
[Brother Jingxing has no bad intentions, he just loves you.]
Pei Ji said nothing and sat there expressionlessly.
[Brother Jingxing just said that he doesn't want you to worry, husband...]
"My dear." Pei Ji suddenly laughed, "If you coax me again, I won't be angry anymore."
[Husband, don't be angry, my second brother is very good.]
[The last time the He family came to my house, hoping I could help persuade them, it was my second brother who stopped me at the door. He said if I asked you, you would definitely do it, but he didn't want to embarrass you.]
Even without Pei Su's instructions, he would not easily agree to the He family's affairs, but he would inevitably feel a little conflicted. If Pei Ji saw it, it would make him worried.
But the appearance of Pei Su made all this fail in the cradle.
Pei Ji sighed lightly, but ultimately said nothing more. He held He Zhiliao in his arms, absorbing the tranquility and peace from him.
He Zhiliao didn't expect that he would have such a childish side. She patted his back gently and wondered whether she should go and apologize to her second brother later. It didn't seem right to leave in anger just now.
But without waiting for them to leave, Pei Su came to the courtyard with some things to apologize. The servants were holding exquisite objects.
"What are you doing here?" Pei Ji stood in the corridor, looking down at the people in the courtyard, "My husband and I don't welcome guests."
He Zhiliao quickly tugged at his sleeve and said, "Brother, now that you've come to apologize, you should just go down the stairs!"
Pei Su was not angry with him, and said with a smile: "I am here to give you a way out. If you don't step down, I will have no way out."
"Look, what good things have you given me?" Pei Ji snorted and walked away.
Fengming glass cup.
Hollow gold ball sachet.
A box of fist-sized night pearls.
A set of mutton-fat white jade wine cups.
…
The servants in the yard were holding these items, making the whole yard sparkle.
Pei Ji curled his lips, "It's not bad."
Pei Su just smiled and said nothing. He had taken away those unsuitable ones from the warehouse last time, and he was still picky about them.
He Zhiliao had never seen these good things. If the He family had anything, it would have been collected by Zhuang Hongxiu or used on her children. He had no share at all.
"Since I'm sincere, how about you forgive me for my careless words just now?" Pei Su said softly, looking at He Zhiliao, "Little Zhiliao, can you please say something good for me?"
Whoever was called immediately grabbed Pei Ji's sleeve and shook it.
【Husband～】
Pei Ji sighed softly, "Pei Jingxing, you are really amazing!"
Pei Jingxing looked at him with a smile in his eyes, obviously knowing his weak spot.
"Yuanrong, take all the things to Qingyuan!"
Pei Ji raised his eyebrows after saying this, "I invite you to visit my Qingyuan."
This is coaxing.
Pei Su quickly followed.
The Green Courtyard is separated from the main courtyard by several long corridors. The corridors wind around and around and soon you arrive at the Green Courtyard. The gate of the small courtyard is still the same as before, but it has been repainted.
But you don’t have to think too much to know that there is something hidden in it.
The guard opened the door, and what came into view was a path paved with oval pebbles of various shapes and colors. There were small nurseries on both sides. The flowers planted there had not yet fully grown, but it could be seen that they were precious golden marigolds.
Stepping on the "pebbles", Pei Su lowered his head sharply and saw what was under his feet. Even he couldn't help laughing.
"We used various jade egg-shaped stones for paving the cobblestones, black jade for the steps, white jade for the stone benches and tables, and coral for the pavilion..." Pei Su said as he walked inside. "There are golden nanmu tables and chairs, jade screens, and pure gold hanging scrolls. This thin blanket on the ground is a treasure tribute from abroad, and the black beads inside are black oriental pearls..."
With every word he spoke, Pei Ji's face became more smug, and He Zhiliao's face became more shocked.
Ever since he moved back to the main courtyard, Qingyuan was undergoing renovations and he hadn't set foot there again.
Although there were not many important things to do on weekdays, he was always focused on himself and Pei Ji. He didn't know when Qingyuan was renovated, and he didn't know that this courtyard was now made of silver.
It's just, just crazy!
"Yunzhou, even though no one has come to the Pei family, aren't you afraid that the entire courtyard will be dug up?" Pei Su couldn't help laughing. "A courtyard built with real gold and silver is truly extravagant."
Pei Ji's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he smiled and said, "This is my golden house. Decorating it with gold and jade will make it much cooler. The hollow incense ball you gave me can be hung in front of the window to repel mosquitoes."
Pei Su had been smiling since he stepped into his yard. "I'm glad you like it. Okay, I'll be leaving first. You two can discuss where to put the things."
He then left without disturbing them at all.
As soon as Pei Su left, Pei Ji became proud again, but there was still some anticipation in his eyes. He asked, "Do you like it?"
He Zhiliao looked at him in astonishment. Any small piece of the things in here could be exchanged for a lot of real gold and silver. I'm afraid no one would dislike it.
He nodded blankly.
"That's good. The entire Qingyuan is yours. If you get anything in the future, I will put it in. You don't have to worry about it, whether it's a dowry or a betrothal gift. I will earn it all." Pei Ji said.
Although he didn't know what would happen in the future, he had to give the little mute enough security and make him believe that he could be relied upon.
He Zhiliao felt like laughing, as all the money was obtained through cheating and deceiving people.
But he was still very satisfied and liked it very much.
Whether it was jade or pearls, all he wanted was that Pei Ji cared about him.
Qin Yurong had been ill for a few days. Although her condition was not serious, she was bedridden.
Pei Yueting was very anxious when she learned about this, but as a concubine, she could not go back to her mother's home easily. Every time she met Qin Yurong, she had to go to the palace. Naturally, it was impossible at this time.
After thinking about it, she thought of He Zhi, whom she had just married.
"Empress Rong has sent an invitation, asking you to come to the palace." Pei Ji said, "She must be worried about her mother's health. It is inconvenient for outsiders to enter the palace, so you are more convenient."
He Zhiliao nodded and asked.
[Would you like to bring gifts to the palace for the Empress?]
Pei Ji thought for a moment and said, "Mother will instruct you on this matter. I think she will ask you to bring some gold and silver. My elder sister is in a lot of trouble in the palace, and the servants will do their work properly if they have money in their hands."
That's bad.
"This is the way the world is." Pei Ji smiled.
Although the eldest sister is one of the four concubines and is favored, she is inevitably involved in the struggles in the harem. It has been more than a year since the eldest sister was framed in her previous life, so she has to be reminded to be careful.
He Zhiliao had already learned the rules and had been to the palace, so Qin Yurong did not remind him of these things again, but thought of something else.
She whispered, "The concubines in the palace are always scheming against each other, and the Queen has been keeping an eye on our family. Remember to tell Concubine Rong to be careful and not trust anyone easily. She must also discipline the people around her."
[I know, Yunzhou also told me, mother, don't worry.]
Qin Yurong smiled and said, "Good boy, I'll have someone prepare everything for you to take to the palace. You can take it with you tomorrow."
【yes. 】
Only He Zhi entered the palace this time.
Everyone knew that he had been deliberately tortured by the Queen, so they were particularly worried. Before he entered the palace, the men of the Pei family stood at the door to see him off.
Pei Xiao said directly and angrily, "Remember what Dad taught you last time? If anyone dares to bully you, just slap him! Even if the sky falls, Dad will hold it up for you!"
He Zhiliao felt a little embarrassed. How could he just hit someone?
But he still nodded very seriously, indicating that he had taken note of all of this. After all, it was Lao Ji's father who said that when He Ruman was dumped last time!
"Yanhua and Xixin will also go into the palace with you. They have a special way of communicating with each other. Let Yanhua wait outside and she will come to inform us if anything happens." Pei Ji gave detailed instructions, fearing that he would come back with injuries or some insults after entering the palace this time.
[I know everything. Don't worry. I'm leaving now.]
"Be careful."
The Pei family was like sending their son on a long journey. They did not return home until the carriage was completely far away and the black spot could no longer be seen.
He Zhiliao sat upright in the carriage, with a blush at the corners of his eyes.
He Hongan had never said such words to him before. The warmth that he had never felt in the He family before was unexpectedly felt in the Pei family.
He has no virtue or ability, but we just feel sorry for him.
Even so, he was grateful.
Pei Mansion is not far from the Imperial Palace, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get there.
Pei Yueting sent people to the palace gate to meet her early in the morning, fearing that someone would call her away for torture halfway. If that happened, she would really have to apologize to Pei Ji.
"Your servant Xinyi greets you, Lord Zhengjun. Our queen is already waiting in the palace. Please go ahead." Xinyi spoke in a gentle voice, but she exuded competence.
He Zhiliao nodded, got off the carriage and walked with her.
Yanhua waited outside the palace as agreed, and could return home at any time if there was anything important.
They soon arrived at the small gate of Jingyue Palace. Xinyi invited him into the main hall, where Pei Yueting was already waiting.
When He Zhiliao entered the hall and saw the person sitting in the first seat, he was wearing jade-colored clothes, and his beautiful face showed some nervousness and anticipation. He didn't dare to look closely, and immediately knelt on one knee and saluted respectfully. Even if they were family members, rules were rules.
"Hurry up." Pei Yueting subconsciously wanted to help him up. After a moment's hesitation, he winked at Xinyi beside him, "It's really abrupt to call you into the palace. It's just that my mother is sick and I'm very worried. How is she?"
[Mother is feeling much better now, don't worry.]
Xixin conveyed his words to Pei Yueting.
Pei Yueting sighed softly, "I'm glad you're alright. I can't go home often because I'm in the palace, so you've got to take care of the family. Xiao Si has a strong temper and is very difficult to control, but I can see that he cares about you, so he'll definitely listen to you."
【ah. 】
He Zhiliao nodded repeatedly.
Although he didn't know why the Pei family thought Pei Ji would listen to him, since he was entrusted with the task, he had to do it well.
"I've always known you're very sensible. If Xiao Si bullies you, please send someone to tell me and I'll definitely punish him." Pei Yueting became more and more sad as he spoke, with a blush at the corners of his eyes. "Are you okay? I heard you're weak. I have a purple ginseng in the palace that His Majesty gave you. You can take it back later."
Hearing this, He Zhiliao suddenly remembered something and quickly asked someone to bring the gifts.
Chun Jian took the opportunity to speak up, "Your Majesty, this is what our Madam ordered. It's small pieces of gold and silver jewelry, as well as some clothes and supplements. Madam is very concerned about you."
"I know." Pei Yueting blinked, "Danzhu, put all these into the warehouse."
After saying that, she looked at He Zhile again. Although the little boy was still thin and slender, he looked much brighter and stronger than the previous two times he entered the palace. It was obvious that he was living a good life in the Pei family.
"You and Xiao Si have been married for a while now, and it's time to have a child." Pei Yueting said softly, "Don't think I'm too talkative, I'm just really worried about you. If you have a child, he will always be - that's all."
He Zhiliao blinked his bright eyes and looked at him. His beautiful eyes, as clear as glass, were filled with some doubt and innocence. Although he didn't know what she wanted to say, it was not his character to dig into things.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. It's time for you to leave the palace."
"It happened so quickly..." Pei Yueting sighed softly, with a hint of bitterness in his words, "Then you should go home quickly and tell mother that everything is fine."
When mentioning his mother, He Zhiliao suddenly remembered the words his mother had told him. He asked Chunjian to repeat them to her word for word, and then left under her complicated gaze.
He thought that Concubine Rong probably missed home too.
"Your Majesty..." Xinyi looked at Pei Yueting who raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her face showing heartache, "Your Majesty is thinking about your family. Madam and Master will know about this, so please don't be sad."
Pei Yueting's eyes moistened, "It's not entirely because of these."
She sighed softly, swallowing all her worries back into her stomach. There were many things she said that even her confidants could not understand.
Dan Zhu sent He Zhiliao out of Jingyue Palace. He thought that this was the end, but he didn't expect to send him directly to the palace gate. It can be seen how worried he was.
"Aunt, take care." Chun saw a few people seeing Danzhu off.
After leaving the palace, He Zhiliao relaxed. He no longer had to worry about being inexplicably called to another palace and scolded.
Yanhua smiled and said, "I was getting so anxious waiting here. Fortunately, Master Zheng has come out safely."
He Zhiliao sighed slightly. It had not even been a quarter of an hour since she entered the palace. If her sister wanted to reunite with her mother, she only had this little time.
"Let's go back—"
"Mr. Pei Sizheng, is it really you?"

The author has something to say: Little Zhiliao: My husband is so awesome, I want to be awesome too! [Hahaha]
Pei Su: I finally managed to coax her, but there's still one I haven't coaxed yet! [Calling with laughter and tears covering his face]
