After all, it was night, and Tu Qingyu didn't stay long. She just drank a sip of tea in the main hall of his main courtyard, and Pei Jian felt that it was almost time for her to go back.
"Uncle Pei, let's go to the Jokhang Temple for an outing in five days." She invited him before leaving.
"Outing?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. It's past the outing season now. Why don't we go enjoy the flowers?"
"good."
He nodded slowly with a smile in his eyes.
Five days later, Pei Jian went to Tu Mansion early to pick someone up.
Looking at the beautifully dressed Tu Qingyu, Father Tu couldn't help muttering, "After getting engaged, other people stay at home waiting to get married. Why are you going out..."
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Tu twisted the flesh around his waist.
He took a breath of cold air. At this moment, Tu Qingyu turned around and asked innocently, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"No, it's okay..." He shook his beard and gritted his teeth. Mrs. Tu smiled beautifully, "Go quickly and have fun."
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I'm going out."
"Go ahead."
Mrs. Tu only let go of her hand after Tu Qingyu walked away.
Father Tu bared his teeth and rubbed the soft flesh on his waist, "What are you doing?"
"Hmph." Madam Tu glared at him. "In this dynasty, men and women can meet after they are engaged. If we don't let them get to know each other now, when will they get to know each other?"
In fact, among the aristocratic families, there are not many people who do not see each other from engagement to marriage.
Various banquets before engagement, and even when the two families are interested, will allow the man and woman to meet.
After the engagement is completed, the mistress of the house will take the couple to meet occasionally on various occasions to cultivate feelings.
There are very few couples who do not see each other from engagement to marriage. Most of them will treat each other with respect after marriage.
Father Tu curled his lips in dissatisfaction, "I just can't stand the way she looks when her mind and eyes are focused on Pei Xingzhi."
"Whenever I think about it..." He still felt a little sad when he said this, "Whenever I think about the little Jiaojiao whom I have spoiled for more than ten years, from now on... I, I..."
As he spoke, his eyes became red.
When Tu's mother was led around by her, her mood also became depressed.
Several sisters-in-law of the Tu family stood not far away and did not dare to come forward.
After a long while, Madam Tu raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Well, my daughter will eventually get married when she grows up. If it's not Pei Jian, it will be someone else."
But compared to others, she still felt that Pei Jian was more reliable.
Father Tu also sighed deeply, "Indeed, compared to Pei Kangsheng, Xing and Pei Jian are indeed better."
…
As soon as Pei Jian received Tu Qingyu, everyone in the capital knew about it.
Lord Pei went out to play with Tu Qingyu.
The two of them walked all the way to the foot of the Jokhang Temple, and the driver asked if they needed a sedan chair to carry them up.
Pei Jian looked at Tu Qingyu, who immediately shook his head. "I've never ridden in a sedan chair since I came to the Jokhang Temple. I heard that only if you walk up on one yourself will the gods recognize your sincerity."
"Then let's go."
He opened the carriage door and walked down, then turned around to help Tu Qingyu.
Although Tu Qingyu was dressed up today, her skirt did not drag on the ground, and her waist and wrists were tied up.
The two men walked side by side, with several servants following behind them.
During this time, some people passed by and recognized them, their faces full of excitement, but they did not dare to step forward to disturb them.
Now the whole city is watching Lord Pei's marriage. If anyone shows up at this time and disturbs the two people, causing the marriage to go slightly wrong, that person will be a sinner to the whole world.
The refreshing breeze blew through the forest, and the wild flowers on the roadside swayed in the wind, occasionally shaking off two drops of crystal dew, which was very pleasing.
Tu Qingyu took two steps and took the man's hand.
"Uncle Pei, I need you to lead me away."
Pei Jian held her hand tightly, "Okay."
They held hands as if no one was around and climbed up to the Jokhang Temple step by step.
After burning incense and worshiping Buddha, we went to the back mountain.
Behind the mountain is a meadow followed by a forest, and the green meadow is dotted with colorful flowers.
At this time, many young men and women from various families were already out having fun with their friends.
Some rode their horses into the nearby woods, while some young ladies were picking flowers and catching butterflies on the meadow.
As soon as Pei Jian and Tu Qingyu arrived, the entire back mountain became quiet.
"Qingyu?!" Zhou Baozhu dropped the flowers in her hand. Her eyes widened. "Pei, Duke Pei?!"
As soon as she spoke, everyone present reacted.
They all bowed and said, "Greetings to Duke Dingguo and Public Security of Dingguo."
"Everyone, please get up. No need to be so polite."
He thought he was being very pleasant, but unfortunately, after he said that, everyone walked away slowly and tacitly.
Except for Zhou Baozhu who couldn't escape.
Because Tu Qingyu called her, "Baozhu."
She led Pei Jian to Zhou Baozhu, who, despite trying hard, bowed again, "Greetings, Duke Pei."
"No need to be so polite." Pei Jian said the same thing.
Since he was Tu Qingyu's friend, he was more gentle.
But Zhou Baozhu was even more frightened.
Unfortunately, the little girl's friends still seemed to be afraid of him.
"Uncle Pei, this is Zhou Baozhu. She and Yu Qi are my best friends."
Pei Jian nodded and said, "Miss Zhou."
The attendant behind him immediately brought over a sandalwood box and said, "It's just a small gift, not a token of respect."
"No, no need." Zhou Baozhu was shocked. "Given my relationship with Qingyu, there's no need for a meeting gift."
"It's a gift from me as Qingyu's fiancé."
