The first sentence was to comfort Shen Mochi, and the second sentence was a promise to his family.
The sound of horse hooves faded away and the figures could no longer be seen. Xu Taohua and Lin Cuicui had red eyes, and Shen Changshan was holding his sobbing eldest grandson.
Chen Li sighed, "Dad, Mom, Sister-in-law, let's go in first. It's very windy outside."
"good."
With Shen Jingyuan's departure, Shen Yuanzhou's journey into the martial arts world with a sword, and Shen Qi'an's stay in the academy, the house suddenly seemed deserted.
Chen Li also noticed this and took time out to spend with her family. Except for necessary outings, she stayed at home most of the time, which made Pei Yu very depressed.
Chen Li stayed at home for ten days before going out because she had to go to Suzhou, which she hadn't been to for a long time.
Chen Li just appeared in Banrixian, and not long after, Pei Yu came.
When he opened the door, he saw Chen Li dressed in men's clothing. He had already heard from the secret guards that Chen Li wore men's clothing, but this was the first time he saw her.
"What's wrong?"
When he saw someone coming in, he stopped talking and kept staring at himself, so Shen Li asked.
Could there be something on her face?
Thinking of this, he picked up the bronze mirror on the table and looked at himself. Compared with women's clothes, the self in the mirror looked more heroic when dressed in men's clothes. Coupled with his cool temperament, he looked quite presentable.
"I haven't seen it yet, I'll take a closer look."
Chen Li: "Did you eat candy today?"
"No, if Ali wants to eat it, I can buy it for you."
Chen Li thought about it seriously and said, "I want to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts."
Pei Yu nodded, turned around and left, then quickly turned back and said, "I'll go buy it for you. Wait for me. Don't go to the dock alone. Wait for me."
Shen Li nodded, "Yeah, I understand."
That was my original plan, but since he said so, it would seem a bit unkind of me to run away.
After getting her assurance, Pei Yu walked out.
After walking around the street for a while, I finally found a stall selling chestnuts. I bought some and stuffed them into my arms to prevent them from getting cold and becoming unpalatable.
After buying it, he rushed back quickly, fearing that Chen Li would abandon him and take the boat to Suzhou alone.
However, when he opened the door, he did not see Chen Li.
Um?
Turning around, she saw a maid and walked over to her, "Where is your boss?"
The maid lowered her head and dared not look at him, "Sir, the boss is at Yazhuxuan, and Miss Su is also here."
"Um."
As long as she didn't leave him alone.
He walked back into the room and sat down. He didn't know where Yazhuxuan was, but he knew in his heart that if he went to find Chen Li at this time, he would definitely not be treated well.
Soon, Chen Li came in. Pei Yu then took out the chestnuts from his arms, washed his hands in the basin of water beside him, wiped them slowly, took the chestnuts from the girl's hand, and started peeling them for her.
Seeing the half-peeled chestnuts being snatched away, Chen Li looked at him and wondered if the ones he peeled himself would be more fragrant.
The facts prove that it is not the case. The ones peeled by others are still more delicious.
And a cup of milk tea was thoughtfully prepared on the table, so you don’t have to worry about choking.
Pei Yu didn't peel too much. "Don't eat the rest. Eating too much will make you get irritated."
"Um."
The two of them rode in a carriage to the dock. The wind was strong by the river, and they could hear the whistling sound of the cold wind even from inside the carriage.
When the two of them went down, they attracted a lot of attention. Each of them had his own merits, and both were rare handsome men. Many young girls and wives were secretly looking at them.
The two ignored the gazes and went straight onto the boat and into the cabin reserved by Tianqing. Tianqing was already waiting outside.
"Ali, how many days will you stay in Suzhou?"
"Two days."
Pei Yu nodded. "I'll stay in Suzhou for a few more days. Are you going to wait for me to go back together?"
Chen Li raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Why should I wait for you? Don't I know the way?"
Pei Yu smiled faintly: "I have a very beautiful house in Suzhou. Do you want to go and see it? It is said that the cost of the whole house is 30,000 taels of gold."
The first thought in her mind when she heard this was: Could it be that the foundation of this house is made of gold?
"That house has carved beams and painted buildings, layered buildings, and many attics. The scenery is probably among the top three in Suzhou."
"Is it really that beautiful?"
Pei Yu shook his head. "I don't know about that. This is my first time here too."
If he could be more certain, Chen Li wouldn't be so curious, but now, her heart was itching.
"You can go and see it this afternoon. You shouldn't be busy this afternoon, right?"
Pei Yu: ...
"not busy."
"But I'm not free today, let's do it another day."
"Alright."
Although his tone was a little reluctant, there was no trace of reluctance in his attitude.
After Pei Yu put Chen Li down half a day later, he did not get off the carriage, but let Tian Qing drive the carriage away.
On the second day, the streets were abuzz with rumors that the residences of several officials and wealthy people in Suzhou City had been raided, and countless jewelry, gold, silver and jade artifacts had been taken out.
When the people watching outside heard that these were all obtained through corruption and illegal channels, they became angry. If there had not been enough officers and soldiers surrounding them, those people might have been beaten to death by the angry people.
All the silver they seized from the houses was used to fill the national treasury.
There was a panic in Suzhou City. For a moment, officials and wealthy people were all worried, fearing that their own property would be the next to be confiscated.
Chen Li stayed in Suzhou City for two days, but Pei Yu never came. Thinking of how hurried he was that day and the situation in the city in the past two days, she wondered if he was the one who caused all this.
