Chapter 14
"The outer room is a humbler existence than the concubine. The concubine has at least a status, but the outer room does not have it. It is not even as good as a concubine. It is not even allowed to have children, even if you have exhausted all means. Heirs are close by, but future generations will also be ridiculed, look at the past and present, which outer room has had a better result?"

"It's nothing more than two kinds of results. If you are lucky, you will meet a virtuous mistress, and you may be able to die well. If you are unlucky, you will meet someone who can't tolerate sand in your eyes. Wouldn't it be your fate to be twisted?"

"Or, before the master's family got married, the outer room was dismissed, but a woman who lost her virginity and was abandoned, how could she settle down in this world."

"Master Shoufu is pampering you now, that's a man's pleasure, but once he gets tired of it, what should you do as a girl."

Suddenly, she smiled slightly: "Sister, you can run away, I am willing to find a good marriage for you, find a family that can accept you, at worst, you can also continue to a business family, it will be better than now."

Wei Yunzhu naturally heard the sarcasm and contempt in her words, but he just said generously: "According to the girl, a girl must rely on a man for her safety?"

Feng Wei nodded: "Isn't it?"

Wei Yunzhu said unhurriedly: "A woman's chastity is never under a skirt, and she can rely on herself."

Obviously, Feng Wei just laughed mockingly at her bold remarks, and didn't say anything after that.

After leaving the main hall, the two found that it was snowing outside.

Pei Ji and Feng Wenxian naturally came looking for it, and when Feng Wei saw Pei Ji, she turned around and grabbed Wei Yunzhu's hand.

Her voice is warm and intimate, revealing an innocent and naive air: "Sister, you and I had a great conversation today, may I chat with you in the future?"

Wei Yunzhu smiled faintly: "Naturally."

Immediately afterwards, her eyes wandered to the man who was walking slowly, and her cheeks were stained with a shy blush: "My daughter has met Mr. Shoufu."

Pei Ji was too lazy to give her a look, but he took off his cloak and carefully wrapped Wei Yunzhu tightly to block the raging wind and snow.

Feng Wei looked at it with a smile from the beginning to the end, like a lady who never crossed the distance.

It wasn't until Feng Wenxian appeared with an umbrella that he left.

In front of the main hall of Da Ci'en Temple, there are rows of white jade steps, which are a little slippery and slippery.

Seeing this, Pei Ji bent slightly: "This road is not easy to walk, come up."

Wei Yunzhu's cheeks turned red immediately: "This... this is not good..."

Wei Yunzhu naturally felt that it was inappropriate for the crowd to be surrounded by those people.

"Come up." The man's unhurried voice came, showing some impatience. Wei Yunzhu knew that if he wanted to live well by his side, he had to learn to obey.

He simply took a step forward, wrapping his arms around his neck from behind.

Pei Ji was like this, walking slowly forward with his little girl on his back: "Zhuzhu, how I wish this road at this moment is endless, then we can always be like this..."

"We've been drenched in snow together, so it's time to turn white, isn't it?"

If he was drenched in snow together in the morning, he would be counted as graying together in this life.

Wei Yunzhu's eyes drifted into the distance, but he didn't answer.

From a distance, Feng Wei looked at the pair of Bi people in the snow, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Feng Wenxian saw it in his eyes: "Wei'er, there are so many good men in this world. Once this man has an affair, he will have no boss. You should find someone who will treat you wholeheartedly..."

But before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Feng Wei, her eyes were still full of girlish innocence: "Brother, I will definitely marry the best man in Da Zhou."

To be the most honorable person in Dazhou...

Seeing this, Feng Wenxian just shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything else.

After getting into the sedan chair, the mother beside Feng Wei couldn't help but said: "Girl, this old slave looks at Mrs. Shoufu as if he loves the outer room very much."

Feng Wei said indifferently: "Men, I always see one and love the other, but with those outside, I just want to have a good time. The only one who has real friendship is the wife."

The nanny nodded: "The outer room is docile on the surface, but in reality it is a master with a sharp tongue, so don't be careless."

Feng Wei smiled indifferently: "An outer room is just a man's plaything, and it's not worth my jealousy."

Seeing this, the mother said again: "You are still too kind, why are you still looking for a way out for the outer room? You should beat those foxy hooves well so that your memory will be long."

"Don't worry, Mr. Shoufu and I still have a long time to go."

**
In the past few days, the entire mansion has been preparing for Pei Ji's promotion banquet.

According to Li Yi, Pei Ji ransacked Mr. Xiao's house because he refused to pay back the treasury debt. This person impeached him many times. After his downfall, the northern forces he controlled turned to Pei Ji.

He has always been rampant, but this time he wants to hold a promotion banquet for no reason, and it will still be held in Yong'an Lane.

Finally this day came, the house was full of guests and friends, Wei Yunzhu stayed in the backyard room for a long time, and went to the garden because of boredom and panic.

From a distance, she saw a group of people "hula la" passing by on the opposite side, a group of noble girls headed by Feng Wei.

"Sister, I just said why I didn't see you today, so you came here to hide for peace." Feng Wei didn't give her a chance to leave.

"I've seen Miss Feng." Because the garden is in the backyard, which is relatively remote, Wei Yunzhu didn't expect them to come here.

After finishing speaking, Feng Wei pulled her affectionately: "Sister, it's so boring for you to be bored here by yourself, why don't you follow us to the pavilion."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but dragged the person away.

There are more and more noble ladies in the pavilion, accompanied by twos and threes, talking and laughing, everyone knows the book and polite, but it is inevitable to compete for beauty in the open and in the dark.

"Why is there no tea here?" A sweet voice came.

It was Zhou Yi, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry who spoke, Wei Yunzhu recognized her, but she said this to herself while looking at her.

Since Wei Yunzhu just came to this pavilion, she has stood silently in front of the railing. After all, with her current status, it is really not good for her to sit with these noble girls.

The meaning of this is obvious, but she doesn't want to reveal her identity.

Then he walked forward slowly, took the saucer, and said softly: "Miss, please use it."

But Zhou Yi was unmoved, she glanced sideways at the tea, then turned her head to talk and laugh with Feng Wei who was beside her.

At this time, the noble ladies on the side were all looking at Wei Yunzhu, and heard that Mr. Shoufu had a new outer room. Now it seems that being able to come out to serve others is not as favored as the rumors say.

Wei Yunzhu clearly felt the contemptuous gazes from all around her, she turned slightly, and was about to put the saucer back on the stone table, but Feng Wei's voice came from her ear: "Sister, take it, so that everyone wants to drink Tea, you don’t have to bring it back and forth.”

During the conversation, the other noble ladies also responded, but none of them really came to ask for tea.

Feng Wenxian is an upstart who is gaining momentum, and has won the praise of the Chief Assistant. Her sister, of course, no one dares to offend.

Wei Yunzhu seemed very calm, she understood that in the eyes of outsiders, she was just a humble outcast.

It's just that the mahogany tray was heavy, and there was a cup of untouched tea on it, which made her slender arms tremble slightly.

Suddenly, Zhou Yi stood up abruptly, pretending to bump into Wei Yunzhu unintentionally.

The girl's already strenuous body suddenly backed away, and then the tray suddenly fell out of her hand, and the teacup also fell to the ground.

"Hiss!" All the hot tea spilled on her shoes and socks, Wei Yunzhu gasped subconsciously, and there was a faint burning pain in her feet.

Zhou Yi has always been on good terms with Feng Wei, and if she said she didn't do it on purpose, no one would believe her.

Everyone watched coldly, and some noble ladies couldn't help but sneered.

Pei Ji came here at no time, and the officials behind him all laughed along with him. The adults around him all bowed slightly to show their respect, which made him stand out even more.

"My lord, what do you think of this matter?" The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs asked his nephew trying his best to please him.

Pei Ji raised his eyebrows: "Master Song, you..."

But before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, his eyes fell on the pavilion, and he saw a familiar figure.

The little girl was holding the tray in her hand, and she seemed to be struggling a bit. Behind her, for some unknown reason, her slender body staggered, and the teacup fell to the ground.

Looking at the precarious man, Pei Ji walked away a little anxiously, his whole body became a little more stern, and the officials behind him were a little hesitant.

But as soon as he got closer, he heard a sullen female voice: "My sister is not a servant of this mansion, she doesn't need to serve tea, let alone listen to orders."

Only then did Pei Ji notice the owner of the voice, and saw her protecting the little girl, anxiously saying: "Sister, are you okay? Are you injured?"

He squinted his eyes, and for the first time in his life, he looked at this woman, Feng Wenxian's sister, Feng Wei.

The next moment, he had already walked over quickly, holding Wei Yunzhu's arm, and protecting him in his arms: "What's going on?"

The ladies in the circle obviously didn't expect Lord Shoufu to appear suddenly, they all blushed a little shyly, they didn't dare to look directly, but they couldn't help but peeked.

Seeing the handsome and tall man protecting the weak man in his arms, the strong arms showed the vigorous tension of the man, they couldn't help but imagine that it would be great if the one being hugged and protected was themselves.

Wei Yunzhu's face turned slightly pale, and he retreated unobtrusively, then shook his head again.

Pei Ji naturally sensed that something was wrong with her, grabbed her hand, and sure enough saw the red indentation left by the tray on the white knuckles.

The man's face darkened instantly.

Wei Yunzhu didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "I...I'm fine..."

But she moved subconsciously, and the dull pain in her feet made her frown inadvertently.

Pei Ji's eyes immediately wandered to the little feet, and sure enough, the little girl shrank back in guilt.

The whole shoe on the right was wet, it was very distressing to see it in this cold weather.

"Sit down." Pei Ji's voice was a little anxious.

Wei Yunzhu was in a dilemma, so he could only sit down by the beauty.

Unexpectedly, the tall man squatted down without any hesitation, and held her shoed feet in the palm of his hand.
