"So you haven't abandoned me in the past ten days, right?"
Jiang Shiyuan turned to ask him, his tone indifferent, his eyes not as straightforward as before, as if he was seeking confirmation of something.
Pei Che suddenly realized that he was too happy and ignored a problem.
In the past ten years, she had clearly been suffering for both of them, but she still resolutely freed him from his shackles first, and then took care of herself.
The moonlight was gentle, but Pei Che's kiss was gentler than the moonlight at night.
"How can I bear to leave you behind?"
His kiss landed on her brow, Jiang Shiyuan looked up and asked him: "Anything else, can I get a hint, Master Pei?"
Jiang Shiyuan decided to treat it as a treasure hunt game and find all the surprises left over from the past ten years.
Pei Che was impressed by her cheerfulness, but also felt a little sad. If she hadn't experienced so much, how could she have developed such an open-minded attitude?
"There is no clue. Just take your time to find it."
Pei Che refused to cooperate and walked forward, with their courtyard just ahead.
This was the first time Pei Che did not meet her request.
Jiang Shiyuan chased after her and begged, "Give me one, ok? You know I don't have much patience. I'll flip the table and break the bowl. If I can't find it, I'll..."
Jiang Shiyuan thought about it and came up with a big threat: "I will take the cat and run away!"
Pei Che snorted coldly: "You dare!"
"Why shouldn't I dare? What shouldn't I dare to do?"
Jiang Shiyuan stiffened her neck. She was now rich and had plenty of free time, with a lot of farms and properties under her name. She could find a place to spend a few months leisurely.
Pei Che looked at her serious look, laughed, stretched out his hand and lifted the person up.
"ah--"
Jiang Shiyuan felt weightless for a moment, and the next moment, he was half lying on Pei Che's shoulder.
"Master Pei, what are you doing? Where are you being polite? Where are you being calm?"
No one paid any attention to her. Pei Che carried her directly into the room and threw her on the bed.
"Without Master Pei, there is now a Pei Shilang chasing after his wife and seeking love."
Jiang Shiyuan fell on his back on the bed. Pei Che bent over to cover him. Jiang Shiyuan raised his foot and stepped on his hard chest.
"What about the hint?"
Jiang Shiyuan raised his eyebrows and used a little force to stop him from getting closer.
The tent was warm and the quilt was fragrant. Pei Che's Adam's apple rolled gently. He held her ankles and threw aside the embroidered shoes with small pearls on her feet.
"Gift."
"I prepare birthday gifts for you every day."
Pei Che finally relied on her and gave her a very clear hint.
Jiang Shiyuan was very satisfied. He stood up and moved closer, actively kissing his thin lips.
Pei Che knelt beside the bed, put his arms around her waist, and raised his head to receive her kiss.
Jiang Shiyuan watched his face slowly become tinged with lust, his calm eyes were full of desire for her, and the hand on his waist seemed to want to crush her.
"Midnight, can you be more indulgent?" the man asked in a hoarse voice.
Jiang Shiyuan bit him and agreed to his request: "Okay."
…
They spent two days comfortably at Pei's house, worshipped Pei's ancestors, and read the family tree. On the third day, Pei Che accompanied Jiang Shiyuan back to the General's Mansion, and then they moved directly to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Pei Ziye and Pei Zanxue naturally went back to the old house with great insight.
The two of them spent a few more "indulgent" days in the huge mansion.
Jiang Shiyuan couldn't tell for a moment whether Pei Cheping's cold and solemn look was real or just an act.
Just when she was about to be overwhelmed, the emperor called Pei Che back.
Master Pei's rest period ended early, and Jiang Shiyuan was relieved.
At this time, before dawn, Pei Che had already dressed neatly, and before leaving, he turned back to his room.
"I'm going there," he said.
The person on the bed didn't respond. Pei Che felt a little guilty and went over to kiss her face.
"I'll be done by 3 p.m. and bring you some of Ruyilou's braised lion's head when I come back, okay?"
Jiang Shiyuan opened his eyes and said "OK" vaguely.
Then he remembered something and called out, "Pei Jingjing!"
The person who had already walked away chuckled and turned back: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Shiyuan opened his eyes and looked at the man in official robes, looking very different from the gentleman last night, and felt a little depressed.
He shouldn't be 'Pei Jingjing', he should be 'Pei Sese' or 'Pei Laogou'!
"When you're not at home, can I come and go in all the rooms as I please?" she asked.
Pei Che asked back: "If I don't agree, you won't come in?"
"That's impossible." Jiang Shiyuan said confidently.
Pei Che walked back and kissed her again, "You can do whatever you want, you are the mistress here."
After watching Pei Che leave the room, Jiang Shiyuan fell back to sleep.
I woke up naturally after a good sleep, got up to wash and change clothes, and Nanny Qin and Hongdou brought me breakfast.
General Cat was lying on a chair nearby to keep him company.
Jiang Shi was willing to marry into the Taifu Mansion, so Nanny Qin and Hongdou naturally had to follow. Not only them, but also everyone who could move into the General's Mansion moved in.
Pei Che's Taifu Mansion was big enough to hold as many things as possible.
"I can't sit idle any longer. First of all, I have to prepare the betrothal gifts and dowry. It will be difficult to deal with it if it's cold and snowing."
Nanny Qin knew that the two were in love, so she didn't disturb them until later.
Jiang Shiyuan was not worried. Pei Che kept some people there, and Mr. Pei sent several capable managers to assist her. It was just one or two achievements.
"Mammy, please take care of the arrangements. The keys to the warehouse are all here."
Jiang Shiyuan threw the task to Nanny Qin and ran to Pei Che's study.
After a few days of persuasion, he finally got another hint out of Pei Che.
The gift is hidden in the Taifu Mansion.
According to her understanding of him, the things should be hidden in the place where he stayed most, that is, the study.
Pei Che's study, except for more books and a larger desk, was furnished and decorated the same as it was ten years ago.
Jiang Shiyuan walked in with ease and first took an orange from the fruit bowl on the table.
Pei Che loved to place all kinds of fresh fruits in his room, but her favorite tangerines were only in the study, and they were placed on his desk.
She didn't understand it before, but now she can see some clues.
He must have thought that she had sneaked into the study just for an orange.
In fact, it was not the case. She wanted to talk to him, and she just tasted the orange for him.
While eating the orange, Jiang Shiyuan turned around and found that there was an extra row of storybooks on the bookshelf by the window, which was just above the height of her hand. She did not notice anything unusual.
Finally, Jiang Shiyuan fixed his eyes on his desk.
There seemed to be several secret compartments hidden at one end of the desk.
Jiang Shiyuan walked over and felt around for a while.
With a click, the first secret compartment at the back opened, and inside was -
A majestic and broken grasshopper, a picture of Pei Xiaozi holding a ruler and looking fierce, three rough and faded clay figurines, a broken nine-ring chain, and neatly stacked leaf cards...
She bought the grasshoppers on credit from the store, thinking that he might never have seen one this big.
She doodled on the portrait, and because she was dissatisfied with his evaluation, she drew him with a crooked nose.
Three clay figures were a thank-you gift, thanking him for making three snowmen for her despite his illness. She hoped he would have a complete family.
It seemed that they had been specially arranged according to time, from far to near, and the extremely ugly and unrecognizable hay ball at the back was the 'souvenir' she had given him not long ago.
Jiang Shiyuan looked at those things, and a sour feeling surged up from his heart, up to the tip of his nose, and into his eye sockets.
It turned out that period of time was not only her recollection over and over again, but he also treasured it carefully.
It turned out that it wasn't just her who was missing him, it wasn't just her who felt special, it was him who felt the same way.
That winter, she held him tightly like driftwood, and he was pitiful enough to find a trace of comfort and compensation from a child.
What does age have to do with it? In the face of pain, everyone is weak.
Jiang Shiyuan opened the second secret compartment with wet eyes.
There were many incense boxes inside, containing all the incense recipes she had mixed over the past three months, even the box of 'ambergris' that Wu Long had given to Pei Ziye.
Jiang Shiyuan suddenly laughed again.
How can you be so stupid? You can't smell the fragrance and put things so close.
Is this the method he mentioned in the beginning to 'overcome' her?
Jiang Shiyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and cast his eyes on the secret compartment at the bottom.
There wasn't much in that compartment, except for three rectangular brocade boxes.
The box was decorated with red dogwood and the title was inscribed: [From my son]
Looking for gifts.
