Invincible son

Chapter 199 198 [Under the Moon]

At dusk, Guangping Marquis Mansion.

Mrs. Zhao personally helped Pei Yue pick up vegetables, and kept saying, "Good boy, eat more, I think you have lost a lot of weight."

Pei Yue looked at the mountains of delicacies piled up in his bowl, and was quite moved, and said with a smile, "Auntie, today is Sister Gu's birthday, and my nephew is here to pay her birthday wishes, not just to eat. "

Mrs. Zhao said happily: "It would be great if you have this thought. Your sister Gu and I are idle at home all day long, and there is nothing to do. Since Fan Er left Beijing, the house has become more and more deserted. If you want to come, it is natural Excellent. Actually speaking, you have only been here two or three times this year, so it can be seen that you are usually too busy. You are still young, so you don't have to rush to do things, you have to take care of yourself first."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Nephew has written it down."

He turned his head to look at the girl on Mrs. Zhao's right, with warm and soft eyes.

Gu Zhen will be 17 years old after today, and she has become more and more beautiful in the past year, like a fresh and elegant lotus flower in a water village.

She met Pei Yue's gaze, and did not dodge it, but teased softly: "Brother Pei, since you are here to celebrate my birthday today, shouldn't you kowtow to the birthday star?"

Pei Yue was stuffing his mouthful of food, when he heard this, he looked at Gu Zhen in a daze.

Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but said, "Zhen'er, don't mess around, brother Yue is a serious lord now, how can he kowtow to you to celebrate his birthday? If it gets out and people hear it, can those censors in the court let him go? "

Gu Zhen blushed slightly and said, "Mother, my daughter was just joking with Brother Pei, but you want to be so serious."

Pei Yue finally swallowed the food in his mouth, quickly raised the wine glass next to him, stood up and said, "Congratulate Sister Gu's birthday with this wine."

Gu Zhen also left the table and got up, took the cup in her hand, and the maid next to her was holding a small pot, and poured Yumeichun from the pot into the cup.

She looked at the wine glass in Pei Yue's hand, and said with a smile, "I like the gift prepared by Brother Pei very much, but I still want to test you."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Sister Gu, please tell me."

Gu Zhen said: "I know that Brother Pei is not good at poetry, but drinking like this will be boring after all. Please say a few words casually, Brother Pei, or a couplet of allusions, or a famous person's poem, as long as it matches with anything on the table, you will be counted as you." Passed."

Seeing Pei Yue staring at her in thought, Mrs. Zhao turned her head to look at Gu Zhen, with a hint of reproach in her eyes.

She knew that Pei Yue had a miserable life at the beginning, he had no chance to study at all, and later he concentrated on martial arts practice.Now Gu Zhen wants him to start from this way. Although this request is not difficult and countless scholars can easily do it, it is obviously not so easy for Pei Yue.

Gu Zhen covered her mouth and smiled: "Mother, you don't know how many times Fourth Brother praised Brother Pei at home. He said that he is not only extremely talented in martial arts, but also reads every day, and has profound insights. My daughter is not that kind of frivolous person, how could she deliberately make things difficult for him."

Pei Yue had already thought of the answer at this moment. Hearing this, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Second Brother Gu really often praises me? This really surprised me. In fact, I just use reading as a means of relaxation. After all, I am tired from practicing martial arts."

Gu Zhen blinked and said, "Brother Pei, is it?"

Pei Yue pointed to the pheasant shredded bird's nest soup on the table and said, "I just learned a few proverbs in an ancient book a few days ago, so I borrowed flowers to present Buddha to wish Sister Gu's birthday."

He chanted loudly: "Pick up a sparrow and buy good wine. The wind is your guest, and the tree is your friend. The sweet-scented osmanthus is blooming now, and I wish you a long life."

Mrs. Zhao praised repeatedly, Gu Zhen's beautiful eyes lingered, and she said softly: "Brother Pei is really talented."

The two drank each other.

After sitting down, Pei Yue scratched his head and said, "I don't dare to take the word talent, it's just picking up people's teeth, don't mind Sister Gu."

Gu Zhen shook her head slightly, and said softly, "No way."

Seeing the interaction between the two juniors, Mrs. Zhao became more and more happy, so she persuaded Pei Yue to have a few more glasses of wine.

Pei Yue's drinking capacity is not too big and not too small, which belongs to a passable level, as long as he takes it easy, there will be no problem.But Mrs. Zhao is very enthusiastic and is an elder, and Gu Zhen joins in the fun from time to time, making him a little drunk.

After a simple and warm birthday banquet, Pei Yue's handsome face was obviously stained with alcohol.

Mrs. Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Yue, since you are drunk, don't go back in a hurry, just rest in the room prepared for you."

Pei Yue could still stand still, shook his head and said, "Auntie, isn't this inappropriate?"

Mrs. Zhao persuaded: "What's inappropriate? The master has always treated you as his own son and nephew. You are no outsider here, otherwise why would you prepare a room for you? All the furnishings in the room are mine. Prepared by myself, it is exactly the same as in Fan Er's room."

Gu Zhen also said: "Brother Pei, let's just stay at the house for a night and go back tomorrow."

Seeing their resolute attitude, Pei Yue agreed after thinking about it.

Mrs. Zhao quickly ordered a few maidservants to take Pei Yue back to the room to rest. She was still worried, and ordered someone to prepare sober soup, so that if Pei Yue really got drunk, there would be a way to deal with it.

At three o'clock in the morning, Pei Yue opened his eyes from his sleep, his eyes were very clear and not drunk.

A moment later, a light figure left the Guangping Marquis Mansion, hiding in the streets and alleys of Kyoto late at night.

It was already curfew, and the moonlight was cold and lonely.

According to the memory in his mind, Pei Yue started from Xingyefang, chose a hidden road all the way, passed through several main streets very quickly, and entered Yongrenfang.With his current martial arts cultivation and the body skills taught by Mr. Xi, he is not worried about being discovered in the middle of the night.

At the beginning of Haishi, Pei Yue appeared outside a mansion. He came to the wall at the rear, leaped lightly and turned over from the top of the wall.

The mansion is quite large, with layers of buildings, but Pei Yue seemed to have been here many times, easily avoiding the servants in the mansion all the way, and went straight to the corridor of the outer study.

The window of the study room was opened, and the candlelight shone through, blending with the moonlight, creating a hazy scene.

A middle-aged man with a sharp face is reading a book by the window.

Somewhat strangely, there are no servants near the study.

Pei Yue stepped forward and stood outside the window and said: "Pei Yue, junior, you dare to disturb your leisure."

The man put down the scroll, looked at Pei Yue's dignified expression in the dim light, and the bulging baggage on his back, and said a little puzzled: "Although you are a Wu Xun, it is not a taboo to want to see me, why? Instead of posting a visit openly and aboveboard, instead sending someone to deliver the letter secretly, and then sneaking in late at night?"

Pei Yue cupped his hands and said, "My lord, now all the forces in the capital are watching this junior, and any actions will be known to them, so they have to make a bad move."

The man asked, "Where are you from?"

Pei Yue replied: "Today is the birthday of the elder sister of the Gu family in the Houfu of Guangping. The younger generation stays in the Houfu while drunk, and then comes here at night."

The man pondered for a while, as if he recognized his approach, and said in a harmonious voice: "The east city is still quiet, unlike the west city where dragons and snakes are mixed, you can be considered careful enough if you can do this. But I don't quite understand, what is it worth?" Are you so cautious?"

Pei Yue untied the burden behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I beg you, my lord, to help you."

The man naturally knew Pei Yue's current situation and also understood the predicament Xiangyun Company was facing, but he didn't immediately agree and asked instead, "Why should I help you?"

Pei Yue said frankly: "This time I was framed by someone, this junior has a clear conscience."

After a moment of silence, the man pointed to the side and said, "Come in and talk."

Pei Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
