When Jiang Shiyuan returned to the wing, Nanny Qin immediately asked, "Yuan'er, what do you think of Lord Pei?"
Jiang Shiyuan didn't know why Nanny Qin asked about Pei Che, and she had a crazy look on her face, her smile almost reaching her ears.
She can't laugh!
Her awe of Pei Che was deep-rooted and followed her like a shadow!
Because the first time she was beaten in her life was because of this man!
That was ten years ago, when she was still studying at Luming Academy.
The Zhou Dynasty had an open-minded society, and women were allowed to study. However, studying and taking imperial examinations were, after all, men's careers, and families sent their daughters to school mostly so that their children could make more connections with people from different backgrounds. After the school had given the female students an initial introduction, it would basically leave them alone unless they met the requirements.
Only Pei Che, who was invited temporarily, was very strict. Just because she was absent from class, Pei Che called her up and slapped her hand in public, and confiscated her things.
Pei Che said that he did not think that studying was only for men, nor did he think that studying was just for fame and fortune in the imperial examinations. Reading could cultivate one's character. Regardless of gender, anyone sitting in front of him would be punished if they were lazy.
Pei Che was only sixteen years old at the time, but he was more old-fashioned and strict than the old teacher in the school.
Jiang Shiyuan was slapped on the hand in public and dared not to be careless again. He studied the most serious course in history. At the end of the halfway point, he lived up to expectations and got first place with perfect grades.
Pei Che's actions were consistent with his words. When punishing, he did not discriminate between men and women. When rewarding, he not only returned the confiscated items to her, but also added her name to the commendation list.
That was the first time she was commended, and it was also the only time that a female student in the academy topped the commendation list.
During that period, Jiang Shiyuan walked with the wind, but, generally speaking, Jiang Shiyuan still feared Pei Che more than he admired him.
Now and then she still dreams about herself being lifted up in public at a noisy party or on a busy street.
The most outrageous one was that she dreamed that she was married. On the wedding night, she was shyly covered with a red veil, waiting for her groom with great longing, and suddenly the veil was lifted up by a ruler -
The stern and selfless man was wearing a bright red wedding gown, holding a ruler in his hand, standing in front of her condescendingly, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said to her -
"Reach out your hand!"
Forehead……
Jiang Shiyuan shuddered and shook his head, shaking this outrageous dream from his mind.
but--
After all, she wasn't living with Pei Che, so it was actually quite good to have such a principled and clear-minded person as an elder. If she had conflicts with Pei Ziye in the future, she wouldn't be bullied too badly.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shiyuan's awe was mixed with a hint of flattery: "Master Pei is very good. I feel at ease with him around."
Nanny Qin's eyes were bent with laughter: "Really? How could the marriage your aunt found for you be bad?"
Lord Pei is young and capable, and has outstanding strength. If the girl marries him, no one will dare to look down on her, whether at home or outside.
She holds a high position, does not need a housekeeper, and lives a comfortable life as the wife of the Grand Tutor.
Such a perfect marriage, Nanny Qin was so happy that she cried just thinking about it.
If this marriage had been finalized three years ago, she would have been holding a young lady by now.
I dare not think about it, with Master Pei's natural beauty and the girl's stunning beauty, how good-looking would the child born from the two of them be?
"Since the young lady has no objection, then Madam will go and write back to the Imperial Concubine."
After returning to the general's mansion, Nanny Qin immediately got busy.
Jiang Shiyuan's mother was often away, so she was brought up by Nanny Qin. After her mother passed away, it was Nanny Qin who managed the huge general's mansion for her. Nanny Qin had long regarded Jiang Shiyuan as her own biological child.
How could she not be happy that her child had found her ideal husband?
The bride has only been married for a month, so she has to quickly count the young lady's dowry.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Jiang Shiyuan went back to her room to rest for a while, and then she heard Hongdou shouting happily from outside: "Miss, Miss, the Pei family has sent someone to deliver the engagement letter."
Geng Tie?
Jiang Shiyuan was surprised and asked, "So fast?"
Anko nodded, unable to stop laughing.
I have never seen a family so anxious to discuss marriage. They met in the morning and came to send the engagement letter in the afternoon. I guess he likes his daughter very much.
I knew it, Master Pei is indeed a man with vision, unlike some blind idiots who don't know what's good for them.
Her young lady was as beautiful as a fairy and extremely intelligent. There was no one else like her in the capital. Who wouldn't like her?
"In addition to the engagement letter, the Pei family also sent a lot of other things."
Like Hongdou offering treasures, he asked people to bring in food box after box, covering the entire table.
Jiang Shiyuan turned around to look at the snacks on the table, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"And this, the future son-in-law specifically instructed that it must be handed over to the young lady." Hongdou handed another bundle to Jiang Shiyuan.
Jiang Shiyuan looked at the pastries on the table, then looked at the bundle in Hongdou's hand, which vaguely looked like a few books.
Could it be that...
Could it be that someone really took those two casual words she said to heart?
Jiang Shiyuan opened his eyes, and they suddenly lit up——
The most popular novel in the capital, "The Story of the Hairpin", was once banned because of its excessive explicitness and was hard to come by.
Don't be fooled by its ordinary name, it is just a decoy, the content inside is really amazing.
Jiang Shiyuan quickly covered the bag.
Then Pei Ziye is not completely useless.
No, I'm not talking about pornography, but I know how to read casual books.
Jiang Shiyuan only now really felt that this marriage was a good one. It was hard to say about the feelings, but at least married life would not be too boring.
…
Time goes back two hours ago——
Taifu Mansion——
Pei Ziye carried a pile of books into the study: "Uncle, all the popular books are here."
Pei Che buried his head in the documents and did not look up. He said, "Put it on the second row of the bookshelf next to the window."
Thinking of something, Pei Che looked up at the height of the bookshelf by the window.
"Put it in the middle."
Pei Ziye's eyes widened suddenly: "Put it on a bookshelf? What do you mean? Uncle, are you going to leave these books in the study?"
Everyone in the Pei family knew that the uncle was cold and solemn. His study was just like him, filled with famous books, not even a travelogue.
Now, he actually wanted to put these dirty street books on the bookshelf, and put them in the most conspicuous position.
Is this still his uncle, the powerful and stern tutor?
Pei Ziye looked at his uncle suspiciously, and then an idea flashed in his mind -
How could he have forgotten that his uncle Ma Xiao was getting married.
It was obvious that these leisure books were prepared for his future aunt.
But soon, this judgment shocked him even more——
Who said that his uncle was old-fashioned and boring and had a good-looking face? It’s obvious that his uncle is very capable.
Pei Ziye seemed to have learned some shocking secret, his heart was surging with turmoil, but his face remained calm.
He quickly arranged the books, then pointed to the books in the middle and said:
"Uncle, if you want to read some leisure books, these are the most exciting and the most popular among little girls. They are not available in bookstores. I spent a lot of effort to find them."
Pei Che said 'hmm'.
Pei Ziye held back his laughter and walked away. In the past, this kind of trick could never be hidden from his uncle's eyes, but this time, he couldn't be sure.
