Invincible son

Chapter 539 538 [Revisiting the Hometown]

Kaiping six years, February twenty.

In the northern suburbs of Kyoto, in the mountains more than ten miles north of the Shouyang Mountain Mine, there is a simple courtyard.

A pair of young men and women dressed in ordinary clothes walked slowly to the closed gate of the courtyard.

On the valley not far away, young shoots are sprouting and green grass is swaying.More than a hundred cavalrymen loosened their reins and allowed their mounts to forage freely, while they stood apart to keep vigilant.Among the crowd, Deng Zai and Wang Yong, who hadn't seen each other for many years, stood side by side, narrating their respective experiences after parting.

In front of the small courtyard door, Pei Yue stretched out his hand and pushed gently, and the door opened in response.

"Ma'am please." He smiled sideways.

Ye Qi nodded calmly, and said with emphasis: "Xiao Yuezi, lead the way."

Pei Yue was almost silenced by her words, and instantly thought that he had traveled to the Qing Palace Opera, and it took him a long time to hold back a word: "Huh?"

Ye Qi pursed his lips and smiled lightly, then said a little proudly: "Maybe you tease me a few times?"

The two walked into the small courtyard where Ye Qi lived alone, the vegetable field in the east had been tidied up, and the chicken coop in the southeast corner was quiet. Although there were no signs of living things, Ye Qi was surprised to find that the small courtyard After the past three years, it is still very clean, and there are no broken branches and leaves on the ground.

Ye Qi looked at Pei Yue with a smile, and said softly: "I didn't expect you to be watched here."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "The mine is very close to here, so I asked Wang Yong to keep an eye on it, and sent people to clean it every now and then, to prevent the sun and rain from knocking down the house. Actually, it's nothing, if you really If you are touched, then let’s make a promise with your body.”

Ye Qi didn't pay attention to his flamboyant mouth, and asked curiously: "Why do you do this?"

Pei Yue put away his joking thoughts and said seriously: "I checked in the capital before, and the streets near the Chen family's old house disappeared 15 years ago, and there are no traces of my family and your family. You are in Hengduan Mountain The years you’ve lived here don’t count, this is your home, and although we don’t live here now, we can’t let it be abandoned, so... it’s really nothing, it’s just that people come over regularly to have a look and clean it.”

"Thank you." Ye Qi's expression was as gentle as water at this moment.

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Why do you say thank you? By the way, you don't have to worry. My subordinates are very well-behaved. No one has ever entered your bedroom."

Ye Qi couldn't help showing disgust when he heard the words, rolled his eyes at him and said, "But someone went in and slept."

Pei Yue remembered the moment when he woke up, there was indeed a fresh fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose, he raised his hand to touch his nose, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I slept alone."

Ye Qi made a gesture to kick, but Pei Yue quickly got out of the way.

The small courtyard is not big, and the two of them walked around quickly. Seeing Pei Yue's relaxed expression, Ye Qi couldn't help asking, "Didn't Qi Min tell you this morning that Pei Yun went to the Imperial Academy as usual?"

Pei Yue leaned over to pick unknown wild flowers, and said softly, "Yes."

Ye Qi asked suspiciously: "Then you still have the mind to hang out with me?"

Pei Yue smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Ye Qi frowned slightly and said, "I heard from my master before that a literati's pen is like a knife for killing people. They can distort the facts and fabricate crimes, and call a good person a bad person. Now that you are a martial artist, you beat the editor of the Imperial Academy." , Will those Qingliu civil servants let it go? No matter how personal they are with Pei Yun, these people will definitely gang up on you. If your reputation is tainted by them, it will not be easy to do things in the future. "

Pei Yue weaved grass into a garland, then put those small flowers on it, and said casually: "Wang Pingzhang has been scolded many times in these years, Qingliu even publicly said that he is a traitor to the country, so what happened? The emperor not only needs to use him, but also constantly elevates his status, so as to suppress the founding prince. If Wang Pingzhang falls one day, it will not be because of the impeachment of those civil officials, but because he is no longer useful in the emperor's heart."

Ye Qi hesitated: "But..."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "I know, I can't be compared with Wang Pingzhang now. What your master said is correct in most cases. Scholars do have the ability to destroy a person, that's because the other party doesn't have Excellent strength. If Qingliu can really destroy me, the emperor will definitely not sit idly by, on the contrary, he is now more curious about how good my reputation among the people is."

Ye Qi has no doubts about this point, the honeycomb briquettes, food and cloth of Xiangyun Company are all sold at a low price, which in turn forces other companies to also lower their prices, otherwise their business will be poor.When mentioning Pei Yue, the owner of the firm, all the old and young men in the capital who are begging for a living all gave a thumbs up.Not to mention the great victory in the western region, Pei Yue's contribution is obvious to all, and it can be said that his reputation is now at a peak.

Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Ye Qi said in surprise: "Are you polluting yourself?"

Pei Yue continued to weave the garland, and laughed when he heard the words: "That's right or wrong."

Ye Qi had a curious expression on his face.

Pei Yue then explained: "I'm a relative of Wu Xun. As long as I can win the battle, the emperor will continue to use me. What do you think I want such a good reputation as a swordsman and gun? Is it because I want to win people's hearts and plot evil? However, if you want to say that I went to Dingguo Mansion this time specifically to defile myself, that’s not enough. I didn’t think about it that much at the time. They bullied my sister, and I would definitely clean them up. If my sister didn’t stop me at the time, I could Kick Pei Yun's intestines out."

He looked at the garland that had already formed, and said with emotion: "Of course I thought of the consequences and a series of influences afterwards. It doesn't matter if I am scolded by those Qingliu and Tai students, and let them break up with the people in the capital. It’s better than people praising me all day long. It’s not a good thing to be physically holy in this world, after all, only the dead can be holy.”

Ye Qi finally figured out the context, and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder Miss Shen is so interested in you, you two are really on par in terms of scheming."

Pei Yue sniffed the air in front of him, smiled and said, "It's a little sour."

Ye Qi snorted lightly, but didn't make a move.

Pei Yue walked up to her, put the wreath on her head gently, looked at it carefully, and praised: "It's so beautiful."

Ye Qi curled her lips and said, "What an ugly wreath."

Even so, she did not stop Pei Yue, nor did she take off the garland.

Pei Yue looked around and said softly: "I will ask someone to take good care of this place. Whenever you want to come back and have a look, I will accompany you, or you can stay here for a few days."

Ye Qi could understand the deep feeling in his words, slightly lowered his head and said softly: "Okay."

"Let's go, take you to see our industry."

Pei Yue took her hand and interlocked his fingers.

This time Ye Qi didn't shake off.
