Chapter 65 Pei Xuan
The master and servant were preparing to leave the house quietly, but when they reached the door, they bumped into Miss Zhuqing who was standing beside the eldest lady: "Miss, what are you going to do? The sun is very strong today."
Chen Zhi didn't want her to know what she was doing. Once Zhu Qing knew about it, her mother would come over to ask her about it. So she made up an excuse: "Mr. Yi Guang's new work is on sale today. I want to grab a copy. If I'm late, it will be gone!"
Zhu Qing found it funny: "It's fine to leave this kind of small matter to the servants, why do you have to queue up yourself?"
She suddenly remembered that the Madam had recently asked her to pay attention to Miss Zhi's recent unusual behavior, so she asked calmly, "Is there anything else?"
Chen Zhi was already on edge, and when she was asked this question, she immediately said loudly and impatiently, "What else could it be? I just went out to play, mother, do you have to control me even for this?"
Seeing that the little ancestor was angry, Zhu Qing didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just remembered what the eldest lady said and said, "If you encounter any problems, you must come to find the eldest lady. Don't keep it in your heart. Got it?"
Chen Zhi is the only child of the eldest lady. It is obvious that she protects and dotes on her. This has cultivated Chen Zhi's innocent little bully character. Everyone in Mo Yun City has to be polite to her when they see her. She is determined not to let her suffer any grievances.
"I know, I'm fine. Tell my mother not to worry about it all day." Chen Zhi's heart softened, and she asked, "Sister Zhuqing, are you going to get medicine for mother again? Is there anything wrong with her these days?"
"Madam, you have an old problem of cold air entering your body. The previous warming prescription has run out. I will go get another one." Zhu Qing said, "If Miss Zhi is worried, why don't you come to Mingyueju more often to accompany Madam in your free time."
"I understand. Tell my mother and I'll come for dinner."
After saying goodbye to Zhu Qing, Chen Zhi's originally anxious mood calmed down a little. After all, she still had her parents behind her, so who could bully her? At worst, she'll cry later and her mother won't be angry with her anymore.
When we arrived at Xiaoshan Academy, it was the afternoon break time. Students who lived nearby were leaving in waves, and those who could not go home were taking a simple rest in the dormitory.
Chen Zhi was already familiar with the place, so she found a quiet place near a wall with few people around. "Go in and call him over, or by the big willow tree, it will be quicker."
Xichun replied yes.
The shade left by the big willow tree was just enough to block the sun. There was a gurgling stream not far away, so the wind didn't make it so hot. Chen Zhi waited patiently there. She didn't know if it was because she was anxious, but she always wondered why Xichun had been in there for so long and didn't come out.
Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Zhi did not wait for Xichun. Instead, she saw a young man with a cold and elegant temperament coming out from the wall with a basin in his hand. His arms with rolled up sleeves were cold, white and strong, and his muscles were taut, which looked very handsome.
Chen Zhi's eyes moved away from the man's arm, and when she looked at his face, she realized that he was an acquaintance. She couldn't help but smile: "Pei Xuan?"
This person is the cover she used to secretly watch Bai Qinglan, Master Pei Xuan.
Once before, Chen Zhi came to look for Bai Qinglan, and happened to see other people in the academy bullying the poor student from the Tianjia class. She brought a lot of people with her that day, and when she saw that the young man in white was trampled with shoe prints all over his body, she immediately stepped in to help, drove those people away, and said that she would protect this kid in the future, and anyone who dared to bully him again should consider whether he is tough enough.
Everyone in Moyun knew that the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion was arrogant and domineering. Those young masters had to smile when they saw Chen Hao, who was younger than them, not to mention the notorious Chen Zhi, who immediately fled like birds and beasts without even having time to say anything harsh.
Chen Zhi always does things according to her mood. After she rescued the man and helped him up, she saw that he was a handsome young man as cold as frost and snow. He was a student in the Tianjia class. He came from a poor and difficult family and had few decent clothes. However, he could always come out on top in the exams... It was really inspiring.
Miss Chen suddenly had an idea and decided to be a good person to the end, and paid for him to take the imperial examination out of her own pocket - it didn't cost much anyway. Compared with Bai Qinglan who had emptied her family's savings, Pei Xuan asked for too little, and he never took the initiative to ask her for help. Most of the time, it was Chen Zhi who "took care" of him unilaterally.
"Miss Chen." When Pei Xuan saw her, some subtle emotions flashed in his eyes. He greeted his big money sponsor with that bright and clear face, neither humble nor arrogant, and was about to leave with the basin in his hand.
Chen Zhi was bored and needed to talk to someone, so she stopped him and said, "You went to the river to wash clothes just now? Doesn't the academy have a boy who specializes in washing clothes?"
Pei Xuan looked at her and said: "Three cents for a piece of clothing, and there is a river behind the academy, you might as well wash it yourself."
"What's the use of three cents? Your brain is for reading, your hands are for writing, and what if you fall into the river?" Chen Zhi was frightened when she thought of her last experience of falling into the water. She patted her chest and said, "Don't wash your clothes by yourself anymore. I will give you an extra 1000 taels of silver every month. Is that enough for you to wash your clothes?"
"I grew up by the river and I'm a good swimmer," Pei Xuan paused and said, "Besides, you don't have to do this. Why waste money on someone who has nothing to do with you?"
Besides, Chen Zhi could control those people in the academy from touching her, but she couldn't control their mouths... She had no idea what those people said about her behind her back, and she still ran here happily all day long.
"How can it be a waste to use it on you?" Chen Zhi said without any concern: "I'm counting on you to be the top student in high school."
Pei Xuan couldn't help laughing at her words. The cold young man's smile was like a spring breeze. The pretty Chen Zhi was distracted: "Miss Chen may not have too much confidence in me."
Besides, she has spent all her wealth hoping that her husband can become the top scholar in the imperial examination and come back to marry her. What is the purpose of this Miss Chen?
"I think you can do it. You are the first in Tianjia class." Chen Zhi said, glancing behind him. Xichun appeared with another white figure. Her eyes lit up subconsciously, and then she remembered that she came here to settle accounts today, and she should not act so happy.
His face immediately darkened.
Pei Xuan saw this change in expression completely, and his eyes, which had originally been warm, quickly turned cold.
Xichun and Bai Qinglan finally came over, and Pei Xuan said calmly, "It seems that Miss Chen has other things to do today, so I won't bother you anymore."
Two handsome young men, both wearing white clothes, one is cold and aloof, the other is beautiful and gentle. The fabrics on their bodies seem to be the same color, but in fact they are completely different, one is a coarse linen that has been starched and washed many times, and the other is a carefully sewn silk satin.
When the two passed each other, Bai Qinglan warned him with a fake smile: "Don't dream of things that you will never get."
