White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

The Kongming lanterns all over the mountains and plains reflect the entire Tianchi Mountain almost unreal.

Wen Ning looked up, and saw that Pei You's eyes seemed to be dotted with countless lights. In such a dark night, the usual darkness in his eyes seemed to be dispelled by the star-like candles.

She had never seen such a dazzling light in his eyes.

And as he approached, the ray of light was fragmented, surged with feelings that she couldn't see clearly, rushing toward her face.

Almost subconsciously, Wen Ning took a step back.

Pei You also paused when he bent down.

Wen Ning watched Pei You suddenly approach, then paused suddenly, then squinted her eyes, and suppressed the sudden rapid heartbeat: "What...what's the matter..."

She was not used to looking at Pei You at such a close distance, so she took two steps back and touched the corner of her lips: "I... haven't I wiped my mouth clean..."

Pei You: "..."

"Oh, you're blocking me from looking at the light!" Wen Ning waved her small hand and pushed Pei You away, "Let's go to the lake! It must be more beautiful!"

Holding up the skirt, he ran forward.

Tsk, I really don't understand the style.

Pei You squinted at the little girl running forward excitedly, put away the hand that almost caught her just now, and followed her up.

The two stayed in Tianshan Lake for half an hour before riding back to the city.

Wen Ning was still sitting in front of Pei You, it was late at night, and the sky was colder than when she just left the city.

She already had a fox fur, and curled up in Pei You's fox fur, she didn't feel cold.Pei You didn't gallop like he did when he came here, and only occasionally held the horse's belly to let the horse walk slowly.

Wen Ning hadn't gotten away from the excitement just now, talking happily with Pei You all the way.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​releasing Kongming lanterns tonight?"

"Isn't it Chinese New Year?"

"Your Lingnan New Year's custom is to put Kongming lanterns?"

"... yes."

"Then New Year's Eve in Lingnan, isn't it full of Kongming lanterns?"

"..."

"In the old days, what else would you do?"

The sound of horseshoes is not harsh in the silent night.Pei You was silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Cut window grilles, write pairs, make lanterns, and watch the new year. In the early morning of this day, my mother will cook a bowl of glutinous rice balls, which means reunion, and my father will prepare firecrackers. Once the midnight is over, we Let's set off firecrackers in the yard together with him to drive away the Nian beast and get rid of evil spirits."

Pei You's voice was calm, without emotion.But as soon as Wen Ning heard it, he knew that the "mother" and "father" in his mouth were referring to the Wang couple.

She couldn't help sitting up straight, looking back at him.

The snow in the capital stopped long ago, and even the moon showed its face from behind the clouds, illuminating the freshly fallen snow white.Pei You's face disappeared from the fire just now, and returned to that cold and calm look. From her perspective, the thin chin was raised slightly, showing even more aloofness.

"Pei You, actually..." Wen Ning couldn't help but swallowed the rest of the words.

No.

Don't be impulsive, she hasn't figured out what to say yet.

"Actually what?" Pei You lowered her head.

"Actually..." Wen Ning blinked, "How did you learn to ride a horse, and how did you master martial arts?"

She has been curious about this for a long time.

Pei You is a scholar, the Wang family is poor, and they have spent all their money to support him, so it is impossible to find another master for him to teach him martial arts.

But Pei You clearly knew it, maybe not as strong as Tu Bai, but he did learn martial arts.

Pei You lowered her eyes, looked at the curious Wen Ning, and raised her eyebrows: "Want to know?"

Wen Ning raised her face and nodded.

Kiss one and tell you.

"Cough..." Pei You covered her lips with her fist, coughed softly, and looked away.

Wen Ning turned her head and stared at Pei You suspiciously.

What kind of expression is this on his face... A little bit of embarrassment appeared on his cold face just now.

Is this... shy?

"what's on your mind……?"

"drive!"

Without waiting for Wen Ning's question to finish, Pei You tightened the reins, pinched the horse's belly, and the horse galloped forward.
-
Wen Ning couldn't tell when it started, but the peace between her and Pei You became inexplicable.

He no longer finds fault with her everywhere, confronts her, and sometimes he is even quite talkative.As for her, she is not such an ignorant person. After all, the two of them are on the same boat. As a couple on three-year leave, life is hard for anyone who confronts each other every day.

The two lived in the same room, Wen Ning originally thought that there would be a lot of unhappiness, so she planned to make an agreement with him, and even asked Linglan to sew a super long pillow out of cotton, planning to lay it between the two of them, so as not to be embarrassed together.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of using it, he threw it to the ground in disgust, saying "it's in the way".

What's wrong with him?

Wen Ning looked at the pitiful pillow on the ground and almost had a fit.

Someone explained: "I don't want to compete with a pillow for the quilt yet."

Although the bed in the Duke's Mansion is much bigger, the quilts are all the same size, just enough for two people, if there is a pillow in the middle...

Wen Ning suppressed her dissatisfaction, and decided to observe for a few days before talking.

I don't want to have no pillow, the two of them are in peace.Pei You has accumulated a lot of official duties, and every day she gets up before she wakes up, and when she sleeps, he is still working in front of the desk.

So Wen Ning didn't mention it again.

There is nothing wrong with sleeping together, and roommates are also fine.Although at home during the New Year's Eve, Pei You spent most of the time dealing with official documents in Qinghui Hall, and he was used to eating together when he was in Jiangnan.

So Wen Ning quickly accepted this change.

It's just that Pei You is busy this New Year's Eve, so she can't get much better.

The eldest princess stays behind closed doors, and during the New Year's Eve, when people come and go in the Duke's mansion, she has to attend the reception with Pei You, and even occasionally when Pei You goes to the Ministry of Industry, she has to go out alone to support the scene.

She thought she could go back to Wen Mansion to catch up with everyone during the New Year's Eve, but in fact, on the second day of junior high school, she left in a hurry without even sitting on the Wen Mansion's bench.

If there are visitors to the Duke's mansion, they can't be missed.

After being so busy until the seventh day of the new year, I can breathe a sigh of relief.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all the officials were reinstated, and finally no one sent invitations, and Pei You's rest was over, and he was going to be on duty.

Although these days he was dealing with official documents whenever he had free time, he still went to the Ministry of Industry in person one or two hours a day.But officially the value is different again.

Going up also means going up.

Wen Ning had things in her mind, so she didn't sleep as deeply as usual that day. She woke up when she noticed the movement in the room, and when she opened her eyes, it turned out that Pei You had packed up and was about to go out.

"Wait!" Wen Ning glanced at his upright and solemn court clothes, and quickly got up from the bed.

He casually found a coat and put it on, not even thinking about putting on his shoes, and walked towards Pei You's desk with bare feet.

It was still early, and the sky outside was still dark. Pei You obviously didn't expect Wen Ning to wake up so early today. She caught a glimpse of her barefoot, frowning slightly, and was about to say something when she saw something in Wen Ning's hand. The expression on the face suddenly became indifferent.

"Put this on!" Wen Ning remembered the pair of sachets given to them by the empress empress in her heart.

Pei You's sachet has been lying in the box, and Wen Ning put it on the desk before.

But these days the desk is touched every day, but it seems that the sachet has long been forgotten.

Wen Ning thought, after all, it was the Empress Dowager who embroidered it herself with her sick body, so Her Majesty must know about it.It's fine if Pei You doesn't wear it at home, but on the first day of the new year when he enters the palace today, he should wear it on his body to show his gratitude.

Pei You was expressionless: "No need."

Turn around and leave.

"Eh? Wait!" Wen Ning woke up early for this matter, how could she give up so easily.

She took the sachet and went over: "Look at how delicate and beautiful it is. You wear it into the palace today. The empress will be happy when she finds out."

"No need." Pei You still had these two words, and added a sentence, "I already have one."

Wen Ning got up after seeing that he was still wearing the sachet she gave him, and immediately said: "How can it be the same? How can my craftsmanship be comparable to that of the empress?"

"Besides, this sachet is a pair. You and I wear it at the same time. It can not only highlight the relationship between you and me as husband and wife, but also show the greatness of the emperor's grace."

As Wen Ning said, she planned to hang the sachet on Pei You.

"Wen Ning." The voice above her head was a little cold, "I said no."

Wen Ning raised her head, and saw that Pei You's eyes were almost distant, and her lips were slightly pursed, showing a sharp coldness.

She hadn't seen Pei You's expression for a long time, and she was a little taken aback.

Pei You didn't look at her any more, and turned to leave.

After reacting, Wen Ning stuffed the sachet back into the box and put it back on his desk.

Just... what a dog temper!

If she didn't want to make the empress happy, she wouldn't want to take care of his affairs!
Kindly be the liver and lungs of a donkey!

Lie back on the bed and go to sleep again.
-
After finally surviving the New Year's Eve, Wen Ning thought that she could do some things of her own today, but she was urged to get up by Linglan before returning to the cage.

There are many affairs in the house that need to be finished, and Madam Cui is waiting for her outside Qinghui Hall.

Wen Ning had no choice but to get up, and followed Nanny Cui to handle all the affairs.

How many gifts were received during the New Year’s festival, how and when to return them; how much was spent during the New Year’s festival, where was it used, and whether the account books were clear...

After finishing all this work, it was already afternoon.

On a winter day, it would be dark before Shen Shi, and it was impossible to go out again.

Wen Ning simply took advantage of the sun to bask in the sun in the yard, and let her waist, which had been stretched all day, rest.

Ke Linglan kept babbling in her ear with her small mouth:
"Girl, I heard that my uncle was picked up by someone early this morning, and he got into several books."

"Girl, why do you think there are always people who are against my uncle? The court didn't stipulate that officials are not allowed to go out with their wives to do business. What's there to do? What are you talking about? My uncle neglected his duties for personal reasons and delayed the affairs of the Ministry of Industry." !"

"If Your Majesty hadn't given my uncle such official duties, it's impossible for my uncle to have stayed in Jiangnan for four months? These days, my uncle hasn't had a good New Year's Eve, and he's only dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry. How can I blame my uncle?"

"Are you talking about my son-in-law forming a clique for private interests? Our son-in-law has the favor of His Majesty and the support of the eldest princess. Do you need to form any party or selfishness?"

Wen Ning didn't want to hear about Pei You at all, so if he was on the paper, he would be on the paper, and he was underrepresented?

Linglan continued: "Hey, the eldest princess is still angry with my uncle. The nuns said that they will arrive at the Fuquyuan at noon, but the eldest princess has not moved yet."

"Girl, do you think my uncle will be fine?"

What can he do?It would be good for him not to dig a hole and let others fall to his death.

Wen Ning turned over.

Only then did Linglan realize something was wrong: "Girl, you don't seem to be very happy today?"

What is there to be happy about?

Who would be happy to be slapped in the face early in the morning?

Wen Ning closed her eyes.

Linglan was quiet now, and went to the room to get a thin blanket to cover her.

At this time, the Ministry of Industry is about to go down.

Gu Fei prepared the carriage early, since he came back from Jiangnan, no matter how busy his family is, he will definitely be on duty on time.

But today, probably in the morning, there were a lot of papers for him. He came out of the Ministry of Industry and entered the palace again.

When he came out of the palace, it was already dark.

Since the crown prince had dinner in Qinghui Hall, he no longer had to ask such stupid questions as whether to go back to the residence or to the restaurant. As soon as Pei You got into the carriage, he whipped the horse and went straight back to the residence.

When the carriage was driving on Chang'an Avenue, Pei You suddenly called to stop.

"My lord, don't you want to go back home?" Gu Fei parked the carriage on the side of the road where no one would be disturbed, and followed Pei You.

Although it was a bit late, it was the right time to rush back at Qinghui Hall for dinner.

Pei You was wearing an official uniform, and when he got off the carriage, he was quite eye-catching.But he didn't care about it, and walked to the door of a shop with his usual expression.

Gu Fei glanced sideways, Wan Fangzhai.

Looks like a... pastry shop?
At this hour, Chang'an Street was quite lively, Gu Fei tried to block the sizing eyes, and asked again: "My lord, don't you want to go back home?"

Pei You's brows were pale, and he lowered his head and turned the white jade wrench on his thumb: "I probably made Madam angry this morning."

Made Madam angry?

Did you not go back home because you were kicked out of Qinghui Hall? !
"Then... what should we do then?" Gu Fei asked anxiously.

Pei You glanced at him speechlessly.

What else can I do?
I marry the one who comes home by myself, so spoil me.

After holding back with one hand, he raised his foot and entered Wanfangzhai.
