"Uncle Pei, it's okay. I've been doing this kind of thing since I was a child and have never fallen." Having said that, she did not let go of his hand.
"Really?" He raised his eyebrows, "Just now..."
"Haha..." She laughed awkwardly, "That was an accident, an accident."
"If there are accidents, it proves that there is something wrong."
"Oh, I know." The little girl curled her lips, thinking that it was indeed the other party who saved her. She reached out and handed the peach blossom in her hand to Pei Jian, "Here, this is for you. Thank you Uncle Pei for saving my life."
"Not really." He raised his hand and accepted the bouquet of peach blossoms.
"How can it not be considered as such? Come to think of it, Uncle Pei has saved me twice."
"Next time, don't be so reckless."
"I'm reckless?" She widened her eyes and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. "Am I reckless?"
The man looked at him quietly without saying anything.
"Hmph!" She turned her head away. "I really think I'm the smartest woman in the world."
Her proud look inexplicably brought a hint of smile to his eyes.
"You're right."
Smart, huh.
"You don't believe it?"
"I believe it."
She looked suspicious and muttered quietly, "You don't look like you believe it."
Then he straightened his chest and said, "Forget it, I'm going to go play, Uncle Pei, please do as you please."
After taking two steps, she backed away and said, "Didn't you go out for a drink with my dad? Why are you here alone?"
"Bored, come out for a walk."
She nodded. "Then please do as you please."
As she spoke, she quickly walked out of his sight.
He looked at the bunch of peach blossoms in his hand and couldn't help but smile.
"Sir, why are you here?" A servant from the Tu family came over soon. "My master said the wine is ready. Please come over quickly."
Pei Jian nodded slightly, took the bunch of peach blossoms and walked over.
Father Tu was surprised to see the peach blossoms in his hand and said, "You can actually pick flowers."
He stared at the peach blossoms for a long while, then stroked his beard and smiled, "Not bad, not bad. I picked the best ones."
"Really?" Pei Jian also lowered his head to look at the peach blossom in his hand, "The best..."
Father Tu didn't notice that anything was wrong with him and poured him a glass of wine.
"Come, have a drink. This wine is exceptionally refreshing and delicious."
"Um."
During this holiday, everyone had a lot of fun.
Pei Jian thought that after this time, he would never see the little girl again.
Even if they meet again, it will be when she marries her adopted son.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, he met someone again on his own farm.
It was a rainy day that spring, and the roads were muddy after being washed by the rain. The servants of the Tu family went to knock on the door of Pei Jian's manor.
At that time, Pei Jian was handling official business in his study, and next to him was a cluster of cultivated peach blossoms.
"Sir, there's a servant from the Tu family knocking on the door, saying that Miss Tu wants to come in to avoid the rain."
Pei Jian paused writing and looked up. "Please let someone in."
At this time, Tu Qingyu was protected by someone and entered Pei Jian's manor with an umbrella.
Pei Jian's farm was left to him by his mother, and he likes staying here very much.
The scenery here is picturesque, the landscape is elegant, and the overall feeling is low-key luxury.
Pei Jian originally wanted to wait until she had washed up before coming out to meet people.
But for some reason, I inexplicably put down my pen, walked to the main hall, and waited for someone to be sent in.
The little girl was wearing a moon-white dress today, and the hem of her skirt was soaked with water.
There were some water droplets on his hair, but he didn't look disheveled. Instead, he looked a bit pitiful.
"Uncle Pei..." Maybe she was frightened, but she called out to him as soon as she came in.
There was still some mist in his eyes.
His heart was suddenly scratched, not too hard or too lightly.
"You went out alone today? Why aren't you back yet so late?"
The attendant beside Tu Qingyu bowed and replied, "Your Excellency, my young lady went to the temple to burn incense today. She originally came with the Third Master and the Third Mistress. Later, the Third Mistress suddenly fainted. The Third Master was anxious to take her back to the city to find a doctor, so he left someone behind to let us take the young lady home.
Unexpectedly, the carriage got stuck in the mud halfway and couldn't get out.
Thinking your farm is nearby, I wanted to invite you in to take shelter from the rain."
As the attendant spoke, Tu Qingyu nodded.
Pei Jian almost laughed at her behavior.
He raised his hand to cover the corner of his lips, "Go down and wash up first. It's raining heavily today. I will take you into the city tomorrow."
"good."
The next morning, Tu Qingyu got on Pei Jian's carriage.
The carriage was very large. After Tu Qingyu got on, he was not polite and sat wherever he felt comfortable.
When he sat down, he was almost touching Pei Jian.
Pei Jian dodged slightly to the side, and she stared at him with wide eyes and asked, "Uncle Pei, why are you hiding? But is there something unpleasant about me?"
Although he asked the question out of doubt, Pei Jian did not miss the cunning that flashed across her eyes.
"no."
"Then why are you hiding?"
He took a deep breath, rolling the Buddhist beads in his hands, "Didn't your parents teach you that men and women shouldn't touch each other?"
What's more, they will be father-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, so it is not appropriate for them to be so close.
He thought the girl would refute the saying that men and women should not touch each other, but unexpectedly, she said directly: "I have never been taught that."
He was choked by these words and didn't know what to say when the Buddhist beads in his hand were snatched away.
"Uncle Pei, why do you always carry this string of Buddhist beads?"
Pei Jian looked at her white and tender hands covering the Buddhist beads, and his breathing stopped.
The personal attendant outside accidentally looked in and saw this scene, his heart almost jumped out.
He was afraid that his master would not be able to restrain himself and execute the young lady who touched his Buddhist beads on the spot.
I vaguely remember that the last time the woman touched these Buddhist beads, her neck was twisted by her own master.
Although he was a spy from another country, the scene of Pei Jian twisting the man's neck was still deeply engraved in their minds.
From then on, everyone knew that adults’ Buddhist beads could not be moved.
Later, as the story spread, it became known that whoever touched the Buddhist beads on the Prime Minister's wrist would die.
"Meditation."
It was not until the voice of the master was heard again from inside that the people outside were completely relieved.
It seems that the adults still care about Mr. Tu, or rather, they care about their own uncle?
He did not take the Buddhist beads out of Tu Qingyu's hand. Tu Qingyu took a look at it, felt uninterested, and let it go.
Sit aside and start drinking tea and eating snacks.
Pei Jian stroked the remaining warmth on the Buddhist beads and felt even more uneasy in his heart.
When he calmed down, he looked up again and saw the little girl nodding her head and her eyelids twitching.
When her head was about to hit the car wall, he subconsciously reached out to block it.
