He put the man down, frowned slightly and asked, "Where are the people following you?"
"They?" She answered while adjusting her dress. "They're so annoying. They just listen to my parents and say no to this or that. I don't want them around."
"Don't crawl back, it's dangerous."
"It's okay. It was an accident today. I don't know why I slipped all of a sudden."
Hearing her words that showed she didn't care about her own safety, he subconsciously wanted to say something else.
When the words came to my lips, I felt that I had no right to say them.
At this time, the little girl raised her head and said to him with a bright smile, "Besides, didn't Uncle Pei catch me?"
She reached out and pulled up his sleeve again, "Thank you, Uncle Pei~"
"You..." He was a little speechless, and gently pulled his sleeve back from her hand, "Didn't your parents tell you not to pull a stranger's sleeve like this?"
"But Uncle Pei is not a stranger. My father, brother, and I are all like this."
"So spoiled?"
"It's really strange that Uncle Pei actually knows how to act like a spoiled child."
At this time, Pei Kangsheng finally came over.
Also coming with them were Tu's father and her second brother.
"Oh, it's a great honor for you to come and welcome us. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person." Father Tu smiled and bowed to welcome him.
Second Brother Tu also followed suit and bowed, "Uncle Pei."
Although they are about the same age, Pei Jian is not only a close friend of Tu's father, but also the powerful Duke Dingguo.
"This isn't my first time here," Pei Jian said calmly, "The peach blossoms are especially beautiful this year."
"Really?" Father Tu laughed. "I hadn't noticed that. Isn't it like this every year?"
"no."
"Forget it, forget it. Let's go and make some wine. I've got some stuff ready in front of me, and I've even dug out a few jars of peach blossom wine that I buried two years ago."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
In fact, he wanted to get started more. In his opinion, it was normal for good brothers to be close to each other.
But he also knew that Pei Jian didn't like others touching him.
Even his best friend can't do that.
After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "You two don't need to follow us. You can't interrupt us adults when we're talking. Go play by yourselves."
"By the way, dear, don't push away the people around you again." As he said that, he waved his hand, and Tu Qingyu's personal servant returned behind her.
Pei Jian glanced at Tu Qingyu and Pei Kangsheng before leaving.
The two people were standing not too far away from each other at the moment, and the boy and girl standing together were considered a good match.
But he always felt that something was wrong.
However, he did not delve into the abnormality in his heart. He just turned the Buddhist beads in his hand and followed Tu's father away.
After everyone left, Pei Kangsheng looked Tu Qingyu up and down.
"Your outfit today is indeed very nice, but..." He coughed twice and then puffed out his chest, "But it doesn't mean that I will be happy with you just because you wear clothes like this."
"Now that you have learned it, you should also imitate the ladies in the capital in terms of behavior and manners.
What you did just now, like climbing a tree, is something that no lady in Beijing would do."
Tu Qingyu rolled his eyes, "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about!"
"You, you, you..." Pei Kangsheng's eyes widened. "How could you do such an indecent thing? Also, how can a woman from a wealthy family talk about shit, piss, and fart?"
"So what if I said it? Are you a fool? You come up and start lecturing others? I still like you, but only a fool would like you!"
"How dare you scold your future husband? You, you are simply... disrespectful!" He was so angry that his face turned red. "I'm telling you, if I didn't have an engagement at home, I would never marry someone like you in my life!"
"Okay, then go talk to my parents and ask them to cancel the engagement!"
In fact, Pei Kangsheng didn't dare.
He knew that his father did not like him, and he was attracted by Tu Qingyu's identity as the eldest daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
What's more, he was attracted by the fact that this Minister of Revenue was a close friend of his father who had passed away.
Marrying his daughter would further consolidate his position in the Pei family.
He was so angry that his face turned red, and in the end he could only say, "It's simply, it's unreasonable!"
Just wait and see how he teaches this shrew a lesson after they get married!
The two people had nothing to say to each other, and after saying this, they turned around and walked in different directions.
"Miss..." Chun Liu, the personal maid, looked at the direction where Pei Kangsheng left with some concern, "Isn't it not good to make Master Pei angry like this? After all, you are going to marry him."
Tu Qingyu then picked a peach blossom and said, "What's wrong with that?"
It is impossible to get married.
I've got a son, and I can have him visit me every morning and evening in the future.
In fact, the original owner didn’t like Pei Kangsheng very much at that time.
How could a girl who was spoiled at home and had a proud heart like someone who was so picky about her?
Since getting engaged, the couple's few meetings were not very pleasant.
The last time they met was at a poetry gathering. Pei Kangsheng won a great victory and was in high spirits. He seemed to be the most popular person, which really touched the original owner.
But it is unknown how much of this great victory was due to Pei Jian.
Later, because of his narcissism, that guy sent several of his own poetry collections to the mansion.
Thinking of Pei Kangsheng's demeanor that day, she put the collection of poems away.
After flipping through it briefly, I found that the content of the poetry collection was not as amazing as what I saw at the poetry reading that day.
Thinking that they would get engaged in the future, he put the collection of poems away.
It was this that made Tu's mother feel that she liked Pei Kangsheng.
She once again shook off the people following her and walked towards the stream alone. After crossing a slope, Pei Jian was indeed standing there.
He stood with his hands behind his back, his face calm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, his attention was attracted as soon as Tu Qingyu appeared.
He watched as people popped their heads out from the slope and watched her approach step by step.
Looking at her standing by the stream, the shimmering water was reflected on her skirt.
Seeing her smiling brightly while holding up a bunch of peach blossoms and calling him, "Uncle Pei!"
He turned his head to the side, and she smiled even more happily. Her eyes, filled with spring water, curved into crescents, which were more beautiful than the spring scenery all over the mountain.
"What a coincidence, Uncle Pei."
As she spoke, she looked around and saw a few stones lying on the surface of the stream at a narrow part of it.
She lifted her skirt and was about to go over there, but was stopped by Pei Jian.
"Wait."
She looked up, her eyes asking, 'What's wrong?'
"You're wearing a skirt and the stones are slippery." And there are big gaps between the stones. He was actually afraid that she would fall into the water.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the little girl smiled, lifted her skirt, and jumped to the other side in two or three steps.
From the moment she started to move, Pei Jian's heart began to lift slightly, and when the person jumped over, he couldn't help but reach out to help her.
