Pei Che looked at the distance between them again, frowned and then calmed down as usual. The sunlight came through the gap in the curtains, as if it fell into his eyes, suddenly shining brightly with a soft light.
"So you plan to keep avoiding me this way? What will you do after you get married?"
Pei Che looked at her, the light fell in his eyes and also on her fair and pretty face. Since getting off the carriage, the blush on her face has not completely faded.
Jiang Shiyuan pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face, as if he was thinking.
Pei Che asked directly: "Are you going to give up perfume making for me?"
The question came suddenly, but Jiang Shiyuan was not surprised, because she had thought about this question yesterday.
Pei Che couldn't stand the smell of spices. She thought about whether she should give up her hobby in order to stabilize the marriage.
After all, no matter how well you do it, it's just a hobby.
If one wants to run an incense shop, one has to deal with spices every day, and it is inevitable that one will be contaminated by all kinds of fragrances. The little money earned by the incense shop is not worth mentioning compared with the physical and mental health of the current Taifu.
Shen Lvchu knew that she was good at making perfumes. She had only mentioned that she wanted to open a perfume shop, but was sneered at by Shen Lvchu. He said that a true mistress of a noble family would never lower her status and become tainted with the smell of money for such a small profit.
In fact, most men don't want their women to show up in public.
Jiang Shiyuan knew that the most important thing she should do now was to please Pei Che, stabilize the marriage and lend a helping hand to her cousin.
But she still had some expectations. She raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite her seriously.
"Didn't Master Pei say that? People must have a skill, so that they can make a living when they are poor, and cultivate themselves when they are rich."
"My uncle also said that hobbies are not divided into high and low categories, and entertaining oneself and making oneself happy is also an extremely rare skill."
“Perfume making is not only a skill that I have acquired in the world, but also a place where I can get along with myself.”
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head and said frankly: "Master Pei, I don't want to give up."
After Jiang Shiyuan finished speaking, he waited for Pei Che to refute him, displeased, even disdainful, but he heard a laugh from the other end.
"You remember what I said clearly." Pei Che said.
Master Pei, Uncle Pei, Lord Pei, she called him all kinds of names.
Jiang Shiyuan raised his eyes again, and the man opposite him raised the corners of his lips, with an undisguised smile on his face that reached his eyes.
The ice and snow melted, and the sky became bright and brilliant.
Jiang Shiyuan was a little stunned. This was the first time she saw Pei Che so... so happy.
Because she remembered a few words from him?
That's a lot. She remembered everything he said to her before.
Although she was not brave, she respected her teachers and remembered what Master Pei taught her in her heart.
"I will naturally follow Master Pei's teachings as a guiding principle."
Jiang Shiyuan unconsciously relaxed, talked a little, and flattered him.
"Then don't give up."
"Um?"
"Not being able to smell good is my problem. I will overcome it. You don't have to change."
"Be yourself and don't change for anyone else."
Pei Che said so.
The sound was like sinking gold and breaking jade, and every word hit Jiang Shiyuan's eardrum.
Jiang Shiyuan had never thought that the problem that troubled her all night yesterday was easily solved by Pei Che's simple words.
She looked at him incredulously, with a smile on his lips and a slight raise of the corners of his eyes, responding to that——
[The tail of her eyes is slightly raised, her thin lips are slightly drooped, and she is ruthless yet has a hint of charm].
"It's not all lies." Jiang Shiyuan said suddenly.
Pei Che was puzzled. He raised his narrow and deep eyes slightly and looked over.
"The breeze is clear and the moon is bright, he is elegant and noble. Master Pei is the most dazzling man in the world. This is the truth."
Jiang Shiyuan looked very serious, and at the end he nodded heavily, as if he wanted to prove something. He was extremely well-behaved.
Pei Che smiled happily, raised his eyebrows, and pointed to a seat beside him: "Can the most outstanding man in the world invite you, who loves to tell the truth, to sit closer?"
ah?
It turns out that Master Pei can also joke!
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes widened with surprise, and his heartstrings swayed slightly as if something had touched them.
She didn't sit over, but on impulse, she boldly invited him, "Master, are you free tomorrow? There's a new restaurant in the south of the city, and they serve excellent Sichuan cuisine."
Pei Che looked at her, a hint of unknown emotion flashed in his deep eyes, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Do you like Sichuan cuisine?"
"The food is not important," Jiang Shiyuan tilted his head slightly and looked at him, "Didn't Lord Pei say that he wanted to overcome me?"
“How can we overcome this without contact?”
Jiang Shiyuan tilted his head and asked back. He was no longer as reserved as he was at first, and his eyes were burning, reminiscent of the scene ten years ago.
Naughty, but also unique and innocent.
Pei Che was distracted for a moment.
Seeing that he was silent, Jiang Shiyuan's excited mood suddenly sank, turning into a trace of uneasiness and annoyance.
She was too abrupt. How many girls would be so unrestrained as to take the initiative to invite a man for a private meeting after just a few meetings?
Jiang Shiyuan retracted his gaze and was about to open his mouth to excuse himself when a voice came from the other side.
Pei Che said: "Thank you."
Jiang Shiyuan was slightly startled: "Hmm?"
Pei Che raised his eyebrows: "Thank you, Miss Jiang, for giving me the opportunity to overcome difficulties and challenge myself."
The gloomy thoughts were easily brought to a head, and Jiang Shiyuan's mouth corners had already curled up without him knowing when.
Today, Master Pei seems a little different.
It was different from the previous Pei Taifu, whether in the academy or in the dream.
As they were talking, the carriage arrived at the general's mansion.
After agreeing on a time to meet tomorrow, Jiang Shiyuan stood up to say goodbye, then watched Pei Che's carriage turn around and leave.
Pei Che's carriage had just left when Hongdou came from the other side of the alley, smiling and driving a carriage. The one pulling the carriage was Fang Chilian.
Without waiting for Jiang Shiyuan to ask, Hongdou jumped off the carriage and shirked responsibility, oh no, he confessed:
"It was Mammy's order. Mammy said that I should keep an eye on all directions and create conditions for the young lady even if there are no conditions. I must make sure that the young lady and Master Pei spend more time together."
"Mammy said that the young lady and Master Pei have feelings for each other, and they will grow up together, and they will let us hold the young lady sooner."
Hongdou chuckled: "Hongdou also wants to hold Miss 껗 sooner."
Jiang Shiyuan: ...
"Don't act like this next time. Master Pei doesn't like it." Jiang Shiyuan said.
Hongdou was puzzled: "How does Miss know that Master Pei doesn't like it?"
Why does she think Master Pei is happy?
When the young lady wanted to refuse, Master Pei's face sank.
"In short, it's not suitable. Pei Che is the Grand Tutor, and he is dignified and self-reliant. Since I am going to marry him, I naturally won't be rash and tarnish his reputation." Jiang Shiyuan said seriously.
Jiang Shiyuan thought of another thing: "Yes, I asked you to find out about the Pei family's house rules. Did you find out?"
There is only one month, and she should first familiarize herself with some basic things, such as the personnel status of the Pei family and the family rules and taboos.
"Yes, I found out."
Hongdou responded, took out a scroll from her bosom, and opened it with a swish -
The scroll fell from Hongdou's hand to the ground, and rolled forward a few meters.
Jiang Shiyuan: ...
Is it too late to break off the engagement now?
