Chapter 4 Chapter 4 I think she is very good, what do you think, Erlang? ...
In order to choose a gift for the second son of Marquis Pingning, Wu Jingxun and Wu Shunhua rarely went out together.
Wu Shunhua got off the carriage and walked forward. She saw her beautiful, cold face and snorted, "If you don't want to go out with me, just tell your father directly! Why do you have such a cold face? It's really disgusting to look at!"
Cui Ping had just helped Wu Jingxun get off the carriage when she saw Wu Shunhua talking in a rush. She was a little stunned: "Second Madam, isn't our Madam always like this?"
Wu Shunhua wasn't buying it. "She's acting so clueless out there. It's embarrassing for me to be with her! If outsiders see us, they'll say we're mistreating her."
Cui Ping's face flushed red when she heard Wu Shunhua say this. She looked at Wu Jingxun and said, "My wife..."
Wu Jingxun sighed softly and reached out to Wu Shunhua.
Wu Shunhua, who had been holding her hands with an unhappy look on her face, saw the soft white hand reaching out to her. Suddenly, a line of poetry flashed through her mind, which had always been despised by her mother as unlearned and unskillful.
'The tips of her ten fingers are like bamboo shoots, and her wrists are like white lotus roots.'
Although it is not a popular poem, but...
Wu Shunhua thought aimlessly and righteously that it was enough to be with Wu Jingxun, this dull guy!
"what you do!"
Haha, even so, this wooden mother dared to call them mother and daughter vixens. In her opinion, the title of vixen in the mansion could have been changed long ago!
"I seldom go out. Shunhua, can you take me with you?" Wu Jingxun would not bother with this sister whose personality was completely different from hers.
Her liveliness and uninhibitedness are something Wu Jingxun envies but cannot obtain.
The girl in front of me had a soft voice, and her beautiful fox eyes were slightly tilted upwards. When she looked at me so intently...
Wu Shunhua thought bitterly, no wonder her mother asked her to walk with her head down, who could bear to continue being angry when she was stared at like that?
Wu Shunhua snorted and pulled her hand roughly, but when she touched the skin as delicate as mutton fat, she couldn't help but relax the strength in her hand.
She continued to be unforgiving: "Who told you to stay in the house all day installing wood? You deserve it!"
Although she said so, she held Wu Jingxun's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that a gust of wind would blow her back to the ninth heaven in the next moment.
Wu Jingxun just looked at her with a smile.
Wu Shunhua concealed the strange joy in her heart, and suddenly felt a little worried. Would such a good-natured person be bullied if she married into the Pingning Marquis Mansion?
That Pei Jinguang, looking big and strong, looks like he doesn't care much for his wife.
"Follow me later, and follow closely," Wu Shunhua instructed her sternly. Cuiping, watching from the side, felt a little flustered. Isn't Yaotai Tower a place for selling jewelry? Why did the Second Lady act like she was about to go to the battlefield?
Wu Jingxun nodded slightly.

Pei Jinguang and Pei Huaiguang galloped along the official road outside the capital until the warm spring breeze felt like a knife cutting their faces. Only then did he pull the reins higher with a hint of reluctance: "Erlang, are you enjoying your ride?"
The wind made the robe he was wearing rustle, and the young man's face was finally fully revealed in the strong wind.
Different from Pei Jinguang's heroic and handsome appearance, his eyebrows and eyes are thinner and more beautiful, like a crescent moon rising over the grassland at night, handsome and charming. It is rare to find such a description suitable for a man.
Pei Huaiguang didn't say anything, but Pei Jinguang could see the ease and comfort revealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Such a lively young man is completely different from the taciturn Erlang in the Pei family.
Pei Jinguang sighed quietly in his heart, rode his horse forward and walked side by side with him, and patted his shoulder with his big hand covered with thick calluses.
Naturally, I only captured a bunch of soft but hard wolf hair.
Pei Jinguang smiled and said, "You must be hungry after running for so long. Why don't you go into the city and eat something?"
"Rice dumplings?" Pei Huaiguang searched vaguely for his memories of Jinling City, but apart from the flames rising into the sky and the shrill cries when he was six years old, he could see nothing else.
"Let's go! Whoever gets there first will have Uncle Sun give them an extra piece of brown sugar."
The young man's smiling voice came with the galloping dust and mist. Pei Huaiguang was slightly dazed and fell behind him by a few steps.
A series of yellowed pictures vaguely emerged in my memory.
"Erlang——"
Pei Huaiguang came back to his senses from his memories and thought expressionlessly, didn't those people say that his elder brother was a rising star in the Jin Dynasty, with longbows all over the Donghu? Why did it seem to him that this young general could only call him "Erlang" foolishly?
“Here I come!”
After tasting the bowl of fermented glutinous rice balls with brown sugar, Pei Huaiguang put on his hat and scarf again without saying a word.
It was so sweet that his face wrinkled.
Pei Jinguang was in a good mood. "It's still early today, why don't we go for a walk together?"
Pei Huaiguang didn't know whether he responded or not.
The two brothers came to Mingyue Tower. Pei Jinguang ordered a pot of pine leaf wine and poured a cup for Pei Huaiguang: "Try it."
Pei Huaiguang drank it all in one gulp with an expressionless face.
Pei Jinguang smiled. He felt that in the month since he found Erlang, he had laughed more times than in the previous ten years combined.
A'niang was happy, and the guilt that had been gnawing at him for more than ten years finally began to slowly fade away.
Pei Jinguang's tense mind finally had a chance to relax, and he couldn't help but start thinking about his fiancée.
Mingyue Tower and Yaotai Tower across the street are said to be owned by the same owner. Male customers who come with their mothers, wives, or sisters and daughters to choose jewelry and cannot sit still can come to Mingyue Tower to order a pot of tea, select some snacks, and spend the time leisurely.
Pei Jinguang and his brother were sitting on the third floor. He lowered his eyes slightly and watched two carriages parked in front of the Yaotai Tower.
The carriage was engraved with patterns of quiet lotus flowers.
It’s the Wu family.
Pei Huaiguang naturally discovered his brother's abnormality.
He was almost mesmerized by the graceful figure in parrot green. When he noticed Pei Huaiguang's gaze, the usually cold and handsome young general's face showed a rare hint of youthful shyness: "Erlang, do you know that I am engaged to the eldest lady of the Wu family?"
Mrs. Joan spoke to him often in the few days since he returned, but had she ever mentioned this?
Pei Huaiguang nodded casually. "The daughter of the Wu family has always been known for her chastity." The parrot green figure stopped there for some reason, and Pei Huaiguang's eyes fell on her.
Pei Huaiguang looked at his brother coldly. He seemed unaware of how focused his gaze was, and how much desire and passion it contained.
Pei Jinguang looked at the slender figure intently and greedily.
The last time he saw her, it was just a quick encounter. Before she could even notice him, he restrained himself and turned away.
The brothers had been together for a month, and Pei Jinguang's expression was softer than he had ever seen before. "I think...she's fine. What do you think, Erlang?"
As he spoke, Pei Huaiguang casually cast his gaze on the parrot green figure downstairs in the building across the street.
For some reason, she laughed.
The blazing sunlight seemed to fall under her long eyelashes and flow into her beautiful eyes.
Pei Huaiguang narrowed his eyes. If people on the grassland saw him like this, they would know that there was probably someone there. Naturally, more often than not, it was prey that was going to be unlucky enough to be shot by this killer's arrow.
After not receiving a reply from Pei Huaiguang for a long time, Pei Jinguang realized that he had been a little presumptuous and felt embarrassed. How could he lose his composure in front of Erlang?
Pei Jinguang changed the subject and never looked at the parrot green figure again.
Pei Huaiguang also looked away with a lack of interest, as if he was not interested in his future sister-in-law. He just pushed the empty wine cup towards him and said, "Another drink."
Pei Jinguang good-naturedly poured his brother another cup of pine needle wine.
The wine with the fragrance of pine needles and spicy aroma poured into his throat. The full sensory stimulation temporarily paralyzed every inch of Pei Huaiguang's blood clamoring and desire for new prey.
He glanced again.
That touch of parrot green was like a light butterfly, fluttering away without anyone noticing when.
But the thrill of seeing those beautiful eyes again remains.
Pei Huaiguang couldn't help but press his chest.
He liked those eyes which were more beautiful than those of the Snow Mountain Wolf King.
When he got her, his blood boiled. Would it be more satisfying than the day he killed the Wolf King?
