Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 466: My cousin gives me a bunny

It happened that Li Xiang came back from work. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Pingyang and Pei Yunqian standing at the second gate talking.

Pei Yunqian is tall, but Pingyang looks even smaller when standing in front of him. She half-raised her head and was talking to him quietly. There was a sweet smile on her wife's face, which he had not seen for a long time.

 Li Xiang couldn't help but feel his heart tightening. He threw the horse's rein to the boy and strode towards the two of them.

“Cousin, has he just come back?”

The two of them seemed to be having a lively conversation. It wasn't until Li Xiang came closer and spoke that Pingyang and Pei Yunqian turned their heads at the same time.

When Pei Yunqian saw it was Li Xiang, he cupped his hands and said, "I just came back from outside. My sister-in-law got off work very early today."

Li Xiang replied: "There is nothing to do in the office today, so I will go home early." After saying that, he looked at Pingyang: "If I knew that you were going to pick up Sister Qing today, I would have come out early and gone back with you."

Pingyang replied calmly: "I just decided to pick up my sister on the spur of the moment."

Although Pei Yunqian was temporarily staying in the palace, he returned to the capital for the first time. He was busy socializing with old friends every day and was away from the mansion most of the time. It was rare to see Li Xiang today. He politely said goodbye to him by the way: "Pei is disturbing me at the mansion." A few days ago, I bought a new house in Beijing, and I will move there in the next two days. I am here to say goodbye to my sister-in-law early."

Li Xiang heard this and replied: "There are many places to live in the house, why should my cousin be so out of touch?"

Without waiting for Pei Yunqian's reply, Pingyang replied: "I have also advised my cousin, but he insists on doing this, so let's just follow him."

Hearing this, Li Xiang stopped trying to persuade him and just said, "It's rare that my cousin will come home early today. Let's have a meal together. This should be Pingyang and I's congratulations on buying a house for my cousin."

Pei Yunqian smiled and said: "I'm grateful to my sister-in-law for the invitation. I shouldn't have declined. It's just that I have to go out to meet a friend later and I've already made an appointment, so I can only regret it today. I'll wait until I move to my new house." Invite my cousin and brother-in-law.”

Li Xiang said: "Since my cousin is busy with something, it's the same for us to get together some other time."

With that said, several people said goodbye and headed towards their residences.

Along the way, Sister Qing held the little white rabbit given by Pei Yunqian and chatted with Pingyang excitedly. Li Xiang saw this and asked casually: "Where did the little rabbit come from? Was it brought back from the palace?"

Sister Qing touched the little rabbit in her arms and replied: "Where can I find this thing in the palace? My cousin caught it outside the capital and gave it to my mother and I to keep and play with."

Li Xiang glanced at Pingyang subconsciously after hearing this, and then said to his daughter with a calm expression: "How can your mother have the free time to raise such a thing? If you like it, your father will buy you some kittens and puppies to play with someday, like this You can’t keep wild rabbits.”

Sister Qing asked in confusion: "Why can't I raise this little rabbit?"

Li Xiang replied: "This thing is wild. Although it looks docile, it sometimes bites people."

Sister Qing was unconvinced and retorted: "I have never heard of rabbits biting people, so why should you make such a fuss?"

When Li Xiang saw that his daughter was unwilling to obey, he said anxiously: "How come the rabbit can't bite? It has sharp teeth, especially this kind of wild rabbit. No matter how you tame it, it will become rebellious. You have to be obedient and don't stay." Hold this thing and ask the girls to take it out and put it away after a while."

When Sister Qing saw that her father refused to let go of her little rabbit, she cried anxiously: "Daddy is so verbose today. It's just a little rabbit. How can it be as powerful as you said? I like this little thing." , I must keep it."

Seeing that the father and daughter were displeased, Pingyang pulled her daughter over and persuaded her nicely: "Your father is also doing this for your own good. If you like it, keep him. Just be careful." After saying that, she glanced at Li Xiang: "Children all like small animals. If she likes it, let her keep it and play with it. I will ask the girls to keep an eye on it."

Li Xiang saw Pingyang open his mouth, and then he shut up, but his face remained calm.

After returning to Xianglin Garden, the family had finished their dinner. Sister Qing took her brothers and sisters to the yard to watch the little hare play, while Pingyang sat in front of the case and checked the accounts.

Li Xiang was leaning on the couch and flipping through the medical books he had always loved. But today he felt depressed and couldn't find anything to read after flipping for a while. He raised his eyes to look at his wife who was concentrating on looking at the account books, then got up and got off the ground. He went to the tea table and poured hot tea for her.

Pingyang said without raising his head, "Thank you!"

Li Xiang sat down in front of her and asked, "Why is my cousin moving away suddenly? Is there something wrong with our hospitality?"

When Pingyang heard Li Xiang mention Pei Yunqian, she raised her head and replied: "My cousin is not a narrow-minded person. He may think it is more convenient to live by himself. Don't think too much about this matter." Li Xiang laughed scornfully. : "You know him very well."

Pingyang said calmly: "Although our family is not close relatives to the Pei family, my father respects my uncle as a person. After the Pei family was in trouble, my father took care of and cultivated my cousin. When he was young, he served as my father's personal guard and often stayed with my father. Mr. Wang, so I am familiar with him. Cousin Pei is not a stingy person. He does not care about trivial matters. Since he insists on moving away, he has his own reasons. If we think too much, it will inevitably cause discord. "

Li Xiang nodded and said: "Then as you say, I won't keep him much longer. But before he leaves, we should also find an opportunity to have a meal together so as not to be rude."

As he spoke, he looked at Pingyang and asked her, "What do you think?"

Hearing this, Pingyang nodded slightly in agreement, then lowered his eyes to look at the accounts in front of him.

 “Cousin Pei is two years older than me, why are you not married yet?” After a long time, Li Xiang said again.

Pingyang was still checking the accounts carefully, and just replied casually: "Why do you ask this?"

Li Xiang smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually."

Seeing that Pingyang was silent, he added, "If he had a family, there would be someone around him to take care of him."

Pingyang didn't say anything. After she finished checking all the accounts, she closed the account book, stood up and stretched her waist. She was about to lift her legs to go outside to look for the children, but was stopped by Li Xiang: "You haven't told me yet, cousin of the Pei family. Why are you not married yet?"

Pingyang raised his eyes and glanced at Li Xiang: "What happened to you today? Why are you so concerned about your cousin Pei?"

Li Xiang scratched his head and said with a smile: "My cousin came to Beijing for the first time, and my mother-in-law entrusted us to take good care of him. What's wrong with me taking care of him?"

"I heard that the Pei family seemed to have been engaged to the Yongping Houfu family before the decline of the Pei family in Beijing. Later, when the Pei family asked about the crime, the Yongping Houfu regretted the marriage. As for why the Pei family's cousin did not marry later, I don't know. Yes." Pingyang hurriedly muttered a few perfunctory words to Li Xiang, then hurriedly went to the yard to look for the children.
