Chapter 116: Running all the way home
"The hairpin is nice, but it doesn't seem to suit him."
Song Ci's eyes were filled with confusion. He? Who was this he referring to?
The two of them stopped talking, and Song Ci finally bought the hairpin for thirty taels. The shopkeeper neatly packed it and handed it to Song Ci respectfully.
After what just happened, even if he didn't know the origins of Song Porcelain, he knew Miss Lian. He remembered all the people who often came to buy things. Just now, she didn't dare to provoke him and took the initiative to leave.
This good-looking girl in front of me must have someone backing her.
After taking the things, Song Ci turned around and found that Pei Ji had left at some point.
The shopkeeper saw her expression and pointed to the door, "Miss, are you looking for the customer from before? He just walked out."
Song Ci didn't have time to say anything, he walked out quickly, just saw Pei Ji about to get on the carriage, and shouted hurriedly.
"Mr. Pei."
Pei Ji's body was slightly startled, and he looked over with a cold face. Song Ci's cheeks flushed from running. She took a few steps forward, with a faint smile on her fair face.
"for you."
Looking at the black wooden box in front of him, Pei Ji took it for a long time before taking it, asking with a questioning look what it meant.
"A gift for you."
A strange light flashed across Pei Ji's usually calm pupils, and disappeared in a flash, making it difficult to tell whether it was real or an illusion.
"Why give it to me?"
"Maybe it's because I think this hairpin suits you, and I want to thank you for helping me so much."
"You don't owe me anything." Pei Ji chuckled and said, "You gave me the prescription and saved my life. I thought this disease and poison were incurable. But you gave me a glimmer of hope."
Song Ci pursed her lips and was about to say something when suddenly snowflakes like feathers fluttered down from the sky.
A large piece of it fell on her head. Pei Ji reached out and took it, fiddling with it in his palm.
“It’s snowing.”
Song Ci looked up at the snowflakes dancing in the sky. She seemed to have never seen such beautiful snowflakes before. In her previous life, she was trapped in the Song family, staying indoors all day. Life was a dark journey with no end in sight. Naturally, she had lost the desire to appreciate the beauty of the world.
But at this moment, her mood was different.
"What a nice view."
The girl in front of him raised her head slightly, looked up at the sky with her smart eyes filled with steam, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
Her appearance was so lively and beautiful that Pei Ji was a little dazed. He was stunned for a few seconds before looking away uncomfortably.
A Lin squinted his lips and watched the scene behind him.
Did the young master finally come to his senses, or not? He said he had no feelings for Miss Song San, but he did so many things behind her back. He said he had feelings for her, but he didn't express them. He couldn't even say a nice word.
Alin was secretly anxious. The people Pei Ji sent to protect Song Ci came back to report that Song Ci had contacts with a scholar named Lin and Prince Yu.
Although these two men are not as good as my young master, they are still good men among the crowd.
What if Miss Song San falls in love with them?
Ah Lin coughed lightly twice. "Sir, the weather is so cold. There are freshly baked hot cakes in the bakery up ahead. Why don't you buy some for Miss Song San to take back? I remember that bakery's cakes are delicious."
Pei Ji: "Well, go buy some." He turned his head and looked at Song Ci, "What flavor do you like?"
Songci: "Milk cake, Poria cake, both are good."
"Okay." Pei Ji said in a gentle tone.
A Lin happily ran to buy pastries, and the two of them got on the carriage and waited. Hot tea had already been prepared in Pei Ji's carriage. The two of them sat down and picked up the teacups. The warm touch made Song Ci's hands, which were about to be frozen, feel much better.
Pei Ji reached out and handed something over, "Take it."
When she took a look, she found that it was actually a hand warmer. It was very delicate in appearance and carved with auspicious clouds and cranes, which was very consistent with Pei Ji's style.
"You're not feeling well, so you should take it."
Pei Ji didn't finish listening and stuffed it into her hands without saying anything, "I'm much better now... I'm not as fragile as you say."
Seeing his face turn red, Song Ci suddenly burst out laughing.
The other party was obviously not used to doing such things, but she was very happy.
Song Ci felt a little disappointed. Pei Ji was really treating her well now, but she had always been calculating towards him.
Seeing her lost, Pei Ji couldn't figure out what she was thinking. She was acting differently every moment. Are all women like this?
Alin came back with some pastries, and Wanxiang carried a big bag that belonged to them, turned around and went back to the carriage, and both sides said goodbye.
The carriage was shaking, and Pei Ji suddenly said, "Tell me, what do girls like?"
Alin was stunned. Is this really love?
"What do you like? Just jewelry and nice clothes?"
Pei Ji thought about it and shook his head. Song Ci had no shortage of these things. Princess Le Yi had given her many things one after another, and she had earned a lot of money, but she had never spent it on dressing up. So, what did she like?
.........
"You've seen me many times. Just say whatever you want to say."
Wanxiang looked away stealthily, "This servant feels that Master Pei treats Miss differently."
"It's different..." Song Ci thought, it's different.
"Yes, I wonder if Master Pei likes you. You're not young anymore. You'll be fifteen this year, and you'll be coming of age in a year. It's time for you to meet someone. Master Pei treats you well, has a good family background, and is good-looking. He's a good choice."
Wanxiang became more and more excited as she spoke. She felt that everything about Mr. Pei was good, and her daughter was smart and beautiful, making her a perfect match for him.
"What are you thinking about? The Pei family is a prominent family. Pei Ji's marriage involves many people. It's not that simple." There was another sentence she didn't say. Although Pei Ji had a good impression of her now, it might not be between a man and a woman.
What about yourself?
She thought about it carefully and realized that she also had a good impression of Pei Ji, but what occupied her heart more was revenge.
She couldn't feel at ease if those enemies were still around.
Song Rouxi was finally released after half a month. She had lost a lot of weight and her complexion was not looking good.
At the end of the year, Song Ci met her. She was a little silent, but her eyes seemed to be poisoned, and she looked at Song Ci with undisguised resentment.
At this time, the doorman came running and shouted, "Old lady, the first master, the second master, and the third master are back, and they brought the young masters with them."
Boss Song stood up happily and said, "Mom, it's Han'er who's back."
Song Han is the only son of Song Liang, the eldest brother of the Song family.
"Okay, okay, it's good that you're back. After a year, the family is finally reunited." Regardless of anything else, Old Lady Song truly loves her two grandsons from the first and second wives.
