White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

Chapter 101 This Is... Pei You?
Wen Ning: "..."

The word "daughter-in-law" is a bit bold...

She glanced at Pei You in embarrassment.

He didn't react at all, but before crossing the threshold, he stopped and tilted his head slightly: "Are you satisfied with your performance in front of your father-in-law just now?"

Naturally...not bad.

cough.

"Now it's Madam's turn." Pei You stretched out her hand towards Wen Ning, with dark eyes.

Wen Ning raised her eyebrows.

Come and don't go indecent.

Thinking of the relieved and joyful expression on Wen Tingchun's face when she just left Wen's residence, she decided to let go of her many prejudices against Pei You for now.

She gently raised her hand and put her five fingers in his palm.

Fortunately, the people in this manor are much more restrained. Although they are very happy to see them, most of them just bow to each other, calling "Elder Son" to Pei You, and "Madam" to Wen Ning.

Pei You simply nodded, and Wen Ning quietly followed behind him.

But the eyes still couldn't help but look around.

It is said that manors are not like manors in this place, and people reading books can be seen everywhere, and it is said that academies are not like academies. There are men and women, big and small. In addition to scholars, you can also see women weaving and embroidering, playing and playing. Noisy children.

Tu Bai also seems to be very familiar with this place.

As Pei You's personal bodyguard, he has always been a taciturn, shadow-like existence.

But as soon as he entered the yard, he was like a fish entering a river or a bird flying into the sky. His whole body became active, showing the youthful spirit he should have at his age, fisting and shaking hands with people one after another, very intimate .

Pei You obviously didn't bring her to see the Wangs.

So what is this place?
There were many questions in her heart, but it was inconvenient to ask, Wen Ning just followed Pei You's side step by step, and a servant led them all the way to the deepest part of Zhuangzi.

The courtyard is cool and clean. It is July and the azaleas are still blooming. The house is a shoji gate that is rare in Beijing, and it looks elegant and dignified.

Wen Ning was still looking at herself, and suddenly saw Pei Youyingying a big gift: "The student and his wife Wen, come to see the teacher."

Wen Ning was startled, before she had time to think about it, she immediately bowed down and bowed: "My concubine, Pei Wen, I have seen the teacher."
-
Pei You actually has a teacher.

Wen Ning knew that Wang and his wife moved from Lingnan to the capital for Pei You's studies, but she always thought that she just entered the school in the capital and studied with the master in the school.

Unexpectedly, Zheng'er Bajing worshiped the teacher.

And he is a teacher who seems to be well-known and highly respected.

When did you worship as a teacher?

Did you pray as soon as you came to the capital?
Why hadn't I heard him mention it before?

Wen Ning kept thinking, but on the face she knelt on the futon quietly and obediently, listening to the two chatting.

"The student originally planned to bring Ah Ning to visit the teacher yesterday, but there was something urgent in the engineering department, so it was delayed until today, making the teacher wait for a long time."

The old man smiled loudly: "You are thinking about coming to see the old man, I am very relieved, what difference does it make if it is sooner or later?"

"A teacher is like a reborn parent to a student. A bride who is married should ask the teacher to look at it earlier." Pei You's voice was clear and clear, no different from the past, but there was a big difference.

Wen Ning quietly glanced at him, then at the seated person.

His hair and beard are all white, and he looks very old. At first glance, he looks quite immortal.

Pei You treated him respectfully and modestly, from the face to the heart.

It seems that he really respects the teacher.

When the old man heard Pei You's words, he laughed happily: "It's my luck to be able to forgive the students."

A waiter brought tea, Wen Ning thought of the agreement she had reached with Pei You before entering the door, so she hurried forward and offered a cup of tea gently: "Teacher, please use tea."

The old man took it with a smile, and praised: "If there is a woman like this, forgive me and cherish it."

"A Ning is the student's dream, and the student should regard it as the arch."

That's nice to say...

better than her.

When Wen Ning sat back, she silently glanced at him.

Pei You didn't seem to notice, she was sitting upright, very elegant and dignified.

Wen Ning withdrew her eyes, and continued to make a wooden stake to keep her eyes on her nose, nose, nose, and heart.

It was just that the two were chatting, and the old man suddenly said: "This time you personally supervised the construction of five schools in Jiangning, so that the other seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River dare not neglect. In just two months, twenty schools have been opened. The people clapped their hands and applauded. But I heard that the governor of Liangjiang was involved in this matter, is there anyone in the DPRK looking for trouble for you?"

This is about court affairs, she should not listen to it.

Wen Ning immediately said softly to her side: "Husband, when Ah Ning came here, she saw Zhuangzi's elegance and beauty, and wanted to go out for a stroll, is that okay?"

She thought that her words were very appropriate and her timing was very sensible, but Pei You's eyelids visibly twitched.

Then the black eyes stared at her for a moment.

That's right... isn't it?

Wen Ning blinked, Pei You lowered her eyes and nodded: "Go."

Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

Coming out of the house, Wen Ning wanted to find Tu Bai. After all, she was very curious about Zhuangzi, so she could ask Tu Bai.

Unexpectedly, I went around and didn't find him.

She had to wander around with no purpose.

The more you walk, the more curious you become.

In addition to the men studying and the women embroidering, she also saw farmers farming, and even a few sword bearers dressed in Jianghu.

These people of all kinds gather together, and the unexpected harmony and tranquility make this place look like a paradise.

Unknowingly, Wen Ning walked further and further away, and when she was hesitating whether to find someone to chat with to solve her confusion, a crisp voice came from behind: "Young Master's bride, have you lost your way?"
-
Of course she wasn't lost.

Probably because she got out of Wen's residence since she was a child and wandered the streets and alleys of the capital. Her sense of direction is not bad.

Although the villa is indeed a bit big, and many yards are similar in size and shape, but it is not enough to make her lose her sense of direction.

But Wen Ning turned around, saw the child behind him was small, but looked smart and shrewd, tilted his head and sighed: "Yes, I'm lost, can you guide me?"

She still had the previous point of view that children would not lie. She had so many doubts in her heart that she could just ask this child.

The child looked about the same size as the young master of Yan Li's family, and was only four years old, but his eyes were clear and his words were clear: "The bride of the eldest son's family, come with me."

"My name is Douding. I am five years old this year. I am the bride of the eldest son's family. You can call me Doudou, Ding Ding, or Xiao Douding."

Before Wen Ning could ask, Douding introduced himself.

Wen Ning was amused by his words: "Good little Douding, why are you here alone?"

She had walked a little far away just now, and there was no one around.

"I've always been here alone." Douding raised his head.

Wen Ning was taken aback, and Douding said again: "My friends here and I are orphans. The teacher took us in and asked Agui to take care of us."

This answer surprised Wen Ning: "Are everyone here taken in by the teacher?"

Douding nodded heavily: "Brother Tubai is too, the bride of the eldest son's family, don't you know?"

Without waiting for Wen Ning to answer, he continued: "I have been here since I was three years old, and brother Tubai only came here when he was a teenager! Agui said that he was seriously injured when he came here and almost died."

So in vain, did it come from this manor?
"The eldest son's bride, can I hold you by the hand?" Douding suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Of course." Wen Ning knelt down, held his hand, and smiled, "But, can you stop calling me 'Eldest Prince's Bride'?"

"Then what should I call you?" Douding wore a pair of buns and tilted his head, "I don't want to call you 'Madam', you don't seem to be that old..."

Wen Ning was amused by him again: "Then you call me... sister Ah Ning?"

"That doesn't seem very respectful."

Wen Ning stood up, led him forward, and asked, "You all respect Pei... my husband?"

"Of course! The eldest son is the most powerful!"

"Why do you call him 'Elder Prince'?"

Douding replied naturally: "Because he is the eldest son! He is the first disciple of the teacher to enter the family."

"So... are there any other sons here?"

"Of course! And..." Douding covered his mouth again in the middle of his speech, and said with wide eyes, "Ah Gui said, don't talk about the affairs of the young masters."

Wen Ning thought about it, so the people in this village are all orphans or homeless?For example, the injured Tubai.Are they all kept here by that old man?

And those who are called "Young Master" are all disciples accepted by that old man?
"Xiao Douding, is the eldest son also taken in by the teacher?" Wen Ning asked intentionally.

Douding shook his head: "Of course not. The teacher only takes in those who don't have a family, the eldest son has a family!"

Sure enough.

"Then do you know when the teacher accepted the eldest son as a disciple?"

"Of course I know! The eldest son came before I came. He asked the teacher to make an exception at the age of 16 and accepted him as the first disciple!"

At the age of 16, she had already left Wen's house at that time, no wonder she never heard him mention it.

"Then does he come here often?"

"In the past, he came here every five days, and after he returned home, he seldom came here." Douding said a little disappointed, "Young Master's new wife, can you allow Eldest Master to come back often in the future? We Everyone loves him!"

This is really strange.

That's all for respect.

Pei You still has time to be liked.

It is still the time when many people like it.

Wen Ning wanted to ask again, but the little girl next to her suddenly yelled in surprise, "Young master!"

Let go of her hand, rushing forward like the wind.

"Eh?"

Wen Ning wanted to catch him, but in vain.

Looking up, she saw that Pei You had already squatted down, and picked up the child who rushed over.

Wen Ning froze for a moment.

Pei You... holding the baby?

He held Douding with one hand, and a few rays of the setting sun shone into his black eyes: "Douding has grown taller."

The voice was as light as ever, but it was different from the usual lightness.

Douding smiled happily, and put his arms around his neck: "My lord, your bride got lost just now, I brought her back to you!"

"Oh?" Pei You's eyes fell on his face, with a little smile on his face, "Tell me, Douding, how did you bring my bride?"

Wen Ning stood there in a daze, forgetting to move for a moment.

Douding's crispy voice kept ringing in her ears, but she only saw Pei You holding the child.

He used to like to be neat and tidy, and his black clothes were spotless, but Douding was different, whether he was a child or a child with no adults around him, his clothes were covered with a lot of dust, his face was not so clean, his nose and cheeks All stained with black and gray.

But Pei You didn't feel disgusted at all, and listened to him patiently, and even reached out to help him wipe the dust off his face.

no……

This is... Pei You?
This is Pei You who saw the child's head on the ground without blinking his eyelids, and even showed a little pleasure?
The impact of this scene on Wen Ning was like seeing a cheetah holding a lamb in its arms and lovingly licking it.

When she boarded the carriage back to the city, Wen Ning still couldn't recover.

How could Pei You be so gentle.

Gentleness is just the surface of his disguise, and the inside is a dark and ruthless heart.

But from the moment he stepped into Wangguizhuang, it seemed like he had become someone she didn't know.

He is respectful to the teacher, patient and gentle to the children, and even the smile in his eyes is very different from his usual malicious intentions.

This made Wen Ning extremely uncomfortable.

It was as if... the truth she had always held was overturned overnight, and she was told that she was always wrong.

Wen Ning found it hard to accept.

Dressed up?
She glanced uncomfortably at Pei You who got into the car and began to rest with her eyes closed.

After leaving Wanggui Mountain, he turned into his usual appearance, warm and moist, thin and thin, but it was as if he had put on an invisible armor, revealing a faint and sharp coolness.

Which one is his shell?
Realizing her thoughts, Wen Ning felt a little ridiculous again.

In just one afternoon, he actually wanted to overthrow his perception of him for more than ten years.

"Don't like it here?" Pei You asked her suddenly.

of course not.

This place is so beautiful that it is almost illusory, it is the kind of paradise that only exists in scriptures.

So much so that he was rendered unreal.

Wen Ning asked back, "Why did you bring me here?"

Pei You opened his eyes, but his usual indifference remained: "Being a teacher is like serving a father. Of course, when you marry a wife, you should give the teacher the palm of your hand."

He never took her to see this teacher in his previous life.

In her previous life, she was still married. She never even knew that Wangguizhuang was a place or that he had a teacher.

Just like the Wangs, he never mentioned it in front of her.

Thinking of this, a strange unease suddenly flashed across Wen Ning's heart, but it was only fleeting and fleeting.

"Pei You, have you... encountered any trouble?" Wen stared at his closed eyes again.

This person is addicted to books, whenever he is free, he will definitely hold a book in his hand.

But for the whole day, the journey to Wenfu in the morning was only a short distance away. After leaving Beijing, he kept his eyes closed and dozed off during such a long journey.The eyelashes are full, and the index finger taps, obviously thinking about something.

Pei You suddenly smiled, and he was no longer the illusory him: "Miss Wen really knows Pei."

He stared at Wen Ning with black eyes: "Then please please stay in Qinghui Hall tonight, no matter what happens outside, don't take half a step."
