In a blink of an eye, spring comes and goes, and another hurdle is approaching.
This was the second hurdle for Jiang Shi to marry Pei Che. Due to the frequent paperwork, the emperor's health was sometimes good and sometimes bad. At this hurdle, Xie Linyuan announced his abdication and the crown prince Xie Jinghuai succeeded to the throne.
The new emperor ascended the throne and recruited talents. Pei Che recommended his former mentor Cui Siwei.
Cui Siwei was dismissed, not because of Pei Che's obstruction, but because he was too sharp and disagreed with Xie Linyuan's political views. If the new emperor has great ambitions, and Cui Daxueshi assists him, the two are suitable for each other.
When Cui Siwei was reinstated, Pei Che was waiting outside the Jinluan Palace.
Just like when he won the palace selection, he was also waiting for him outside the palace.
Although the Master did not show it, he rarely smiled at him that day, called him "Shilang", then pointed at the red walls and green tiles and said to him: "Finally, I don't have to walk this long palace road alone." '
I hope he can succeed, and I also admire him.
Cui Siwei was appointed Grand Secretary again, in charge of the Censorate, in charge of the words and deeds of all officials, and in charge of enforcing discipline.
Cui Siwei came out of the Golden Palace and saw a figure walking down the steps outside the palace.
The past is as fresh as yesterday.
The master and his wife walked side by side along the long and silent palace road without saying a word.
Snow began to fall from the sky, falling on Pei Che's tall shoulders and on Cui Siwei's half-white hair.
The third was a rift, the eighth was a breakup, and this was the first time that Pei Che had been an official, and the two had walked side by side.
After a long silence, Cui Siwei broke the silence first: "Is the baby one month old?"
Pei Che's expression was gentle: "It will take a hundred days."
Cui Siwei listened to the joy in his words and couldn't help but laugh along with him: "Who does he look like?"
"More like her." Pei Che smiled.
Cui Siwei laughed and said, "Then you have something to teach me."
Cui Siwei thought of Jiang Shiyuan, a young boy with a lot of evil ideas.
"I remember that she used your name as her servant to search for sachets and purses from women in Beijing. You clearly couldn't stand it, but you didn't stop her."
Pei Che smiled faintly. He did not expect that the first person mentioned by the Master in a frank conversation would be Jiang Shiyuan.
"It's her nature. Besides, she wants to make up for her mistakes as soon as possible. She has courage, which I don't have."
Cui Siwei nodded: "Yes, she is indeed courageous and a good match for you."
Cui Siwei didn't say that he also went to see them at their wedding.
Seeing his beaming face and happy expression, he felt extremely relieved, even happier than if he had been chosen as the champion.
The master walked along a path, and there was a thin layer of snow on the ground, and the palace gate was in sight.
Cui Siwei suddenly stopped.
"I think I should apologize to Juro as well as her. I sincerely apologize for the mistake caused by my vulgarity and bigotry." Cui Siwei said solemnly.
"Of course, the reason why I tried so hard to send you to Shuzhou was because I found a purse in your study, sandwiched between books. I wanted to do this for you..."
Pei Che was stunned, and suddenly thought of something. He took out an old purse from his arms, "This one?"
Cui Siwei nodded and said, "Jiang Shiyuan will give it to you. I will ask someone to return it."
Cui Siwei felt ashamed, which was also the reason why he stopped teaching and accepting disciples after Pei Che.
He understands knowledge, but he doesn't understand people.
"Say 'I'm sorry' to her for me."
Pei Che's heart suddenly twisted.
He recalled the first time he and Jiang Shiyuan met at Tianxiangju, she had worn it on purpose, and recalled the time when he asked Pei Ziye to hand over the purse, she burst into tears outside the door...
…
It was time for Jiang Shiyuan to prepare some gifts at the Taifu Mansion. He gave Mrs. Pei a white fox gourd, his eldest brother and his wife ginseng and bird's nest, his second brother and his wife famous calligraphy and paintings, all of which were the best in the warehouse. In addition to these, another item was red-sealed gift packages for the little kids of the Pei family.
Following the kumquat, golden grasshopper and ginger, the wisher prepared a small golden kite.
It means: The spring breeze is immortal and soars straight up.
"Yuan'er, look here, do you like it?"
Jiang Shiyuan took out a gold pendant, made a Ruyi knot, and hung it around his daughter's neck.
Pei Yuan, she and Pei Che's first child, had her features and eyebrows, as well as his, and she loved him dearly.
Jiang Shiyuan was teasing the child when the door was pushed open and a tall figure strode in from outside.
The child can already recognize people, especially when he holds himself every day. His little eyes roll around and he makes babbling sounds.
Pei Che stepped forward, but did not pick up the child as usual. Instead, he leaned over and kissed Jiang Shiyuan on the cheek.
Jiang Shiyuan gave the man a furious look.
The servants in the house were already used to it.
"It's snowing. I'll take you to see the snow."
Hongdou stepped forward and took the child from Jiang Shiyuan's arms, and led the others out in a line.
The room became quiet, Pei Che pulled the person into his arms, and a chill came over him. Jiang Shiyuan then discovered that Pei Che had not taken off his cloak yet, and there were still stains of melted snow on it.
Usually he would wait until his body was warm before holding her hand.
"What's going on? Are you coming back on horseback?" Jiang Shiyuan noticed that something was wrong with him.
Pei Che rested his chin on her head, holding the old purse tightly in his hand.
"Why didn't you tell me? You gave me a purse ten years ago." Pei Che's voice was full of heartache.
He didn't want her to be sad the most, but in the end he always made her sad because of himself.
Jiang Shiyuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Does he know?
Master Cui told him?
At that time, Pei Che was in the study. Apart from the two of them, only Master Cui entered.
And that day, she had just sneaked into Pei Che's study, and then she met Master Cui who came to test her.
After learning that Pei Che had left Yuan, Jiang Shiyuan had an answer in his heart.
In addition to the answer, she also had a guess.
She guessed that when Master Cui saw her purse, he might have mistaken the dogwood on it for red beans, or he might have immediately thought of another girl and mistakenly thought that she had the same idea.
After all, she has been delivering so many sachets and embroidered handkerchiefs for others, and she is no longer a naive child.
And at that time, her dependence on Pei Che was so obvious.
Jiang Shiyuan thought about it again and felt that this purse was somewhat inappropriate.
Although she had no other ideas at the time, she just wanted to give him her first masterpiece.
She could never think of how to express her gratitude, so she always wanted to be sincere, to be extremely sincere, to be sincere at all times, to give him all the good things she saw and everything she had.
She chose to secretly put it in the book, just to give him a surprise. Pei Che always praised her growth.
He gave her great encouragement when she first learned to play chess, shot an archery target, and wrote in his handwriting.
"I wanted to ask you several times, but I couldn't bear to mention that period, for fear that you would think too much."
Jiang Shiyuan said truthfully: "Besides, I always wonder if Master Cui's arbitrary decision to send you to Shuzhou has something to do with my wallet?"
Therefore, Jiang Shiyuan always felt indebted to Pei Che, and always subconsciously avoided that separation.
Pei Che held her hand tightly, "It has nothing to do with you. I am not firm enough. If I..."
Jiang Shiyuan stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Lan Yin Xu Guo, if we hadn't separated, if we hadn't tried to experience each other, how would we know that each other was indispensable?"
Jiang Shiyuan held his face with his hands and soothed him softly: "Pei Che, there is no need to assume, just look for the best result now. God will not let you and me down, and overthinking is useless."
Pei Che smiled bitterly. He ran all the way back. He wanted to comfort her, but how come she was the one comforting him?
She always said that when she thought of him saving her, she didn't know that the one who healed her was herself.
Pei Che tilted his head slightly and kissed her palm.
"Besides your wallet, is there anything else you are hiding from me?"
Pei Che didn't want to make the same mistake a second time.
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes flickered slightly, although it was subtle, but Pei Che still caught it.
"Anything else?" Pei Che lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Jiang Shiyuan shook his head and tried to pull away, "No."
Pei Che didn't believe it, he picked her up and put her on the table, with his hands on the table, holding her in his arms.
"Tell me, what else do I not know?"
Jiang Shiyuan had no choice but to flee. He pursed his lips and confessed in a low voice: "In fact, besides your study, I also burned some other things."
Pei Che looked puzzled: "What's burning?"
Jiang Shiyuan continued, "Do you remember that I collected scent sachets and embroidered handkerchiefs everywhere? In fact, not only scent sachets and embroidered handkerchiefs, I also collected a lot of love poems for you."
Jiang Shiyuan looked at him with a guilty conscience, "A lot."
"Why love poems instead of love letters? Because I charge too much."
Jiang Shiyuan stretched out a finger and said, "One ounce for each word."
Pei Che's pupils trembled visibly, and he suddenly understood what she meant by "I'm going to get rich!" Why are you so happy and excited? And why are you so confident when you say "I'll earn you a whole villa"?
"Those girls calculated their own pocket money, counted the words, and racked their brains to write love poems for you, but I burned them all after I collected them," Jiang Shiyuan said guiltily.
Orchid is the fruit of Xu! This is the result of Lan Yin Xu Guo!
This was probably why, after they learned that she, a profiteer, not only took the money but did not do the job, but also gave Pei Che a purse, they were so angry and indignant with her.
Pei Che didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this: "Why do you love money so much?"
"I'm young and I'm in debt, so I have no choice."
Jiang Shiyuan smiled and kissed him on the lips.
"I love you more now than I love money."
