The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 7 You are afraid of me
Today, Emperor Wen of Zhou was in poor health and avoided the early court. Pei Xun wanted to visit his teacher.

But Ah Chang came in and said, "My lord, Mr. Su is asking to see you."

A few quarters of an hour later, Su Qi'an walked in with an incomprehensible smile on his face: "Master Pei, how are you doing these days?"

Pei Xun responded with a warm smile: "Very An, I don't know what the so-called Mr. Su is in the residence?"

Su Qi'an took the opportunity to sit down: "These days are free, and I want to come to Mr. Su to walk around more."

Yesterday, I heard from Gongsun Ce that there was an extra maid beside Pei Xun, and she looked extraordinary.

He immediately thought of Pei Xun's refusal to search when his subordinate reported to him that night, and he felt a little suspicious, so he came over to find out the truth.

Pei Xun didn't even raise his eyes, he just poured tea and water for Su Qi'an by himself, with a set of movements flowing smoothly and elegantly: "Master Su, please drink tea."

Su Qi'an still had a smile on his face, Pei's family was a famous family, and Pei Xun was a gentleman, he was really ashamed of that.

"Good tea." After putting down the teacup, he continued: "I heard that Mr. Pei has a beautiful maid beside him. Your lord has never been sexually attracted to women. It seems that this lady must be extraordinary and refined."

Pei Xun said calmly: "The girl my mother picked is very clever, so it's okay to stay."

Su Qi'an raised his eyes, but saw a white magnolia flower hairpin on the case in the distance, his eyes tightened instantly, and Jiang Youzhi had exactly the same hairpin.

Then he stared sharply at Pei Xun: "In Mr. Pei's study, there are women's hairpins."

Pei Xun's tone was light and light: "At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I'm going to give it to my sister." After saying this, he raised his head: "Why? Master Su also likes hairpins?"

The sense of oppression hit instantly, and Su Qi'an made a smile: "Master Pei has never been sexualized, just curious."

Concubine Pei loves orchids, everyone knows that Pei Xun's remarks just now have no flaws.

He got up and said: "I have troubled you today, so I will go back to the residence first."

After Su Qi'an left, Pei Xun said to Ah Chang, "Where's Miss Jiang?"

Ah Chang said: "I saw Miss Jiang picking flowers in the east garden this morning, and I heard that she is going to make some pastries for the eldest lady."

Jiang Youzhi had indeed just picked two baskets of petals, she asked Mi'er to help her take the petals back first, while she picked a few small wild flowers herself.

Then excitedly prepared to look for Pei Xun, but kept his head down picking up flowers, not paying attention to the front.

When she raised her head in the corridor, her eyes widened in astonishment, Su Qi'an was talking to the attendants beside her.

The moment he raised his eyes, Jiang Youzhi suddenly lowered his head and stepped aside nervously.

Su Qi'an walked over indifferently, and Jiang Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

But after walking a few steps, Su Qi'an stopped, and he turned around to look at the terrified little maid, with some doubts.

Jiang Youzhi looked at the black brocade boots in front of her, her fingers trembled, and the flower fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Su Qi'an looked at the figure of the person in front of him, especially the slender waist that made him dream about, and his eyes sank: "You are very afraid of me."

Jiang Youzhi bit her lower lip tightly, she must not make a sound at this moment.

After a stalemate for about half an hour, Su Qi'an completely lost his patience: "Raise your head!"

Jiang Youzhi tried his best to calm himself down, but Su Qi'an looked at the indifferent person in front of him, and suddenly put his hand on her shoulder angrily.

Jiang Youzhi was shocked, but Ah Chang's voice came from beside his ear.

"My lord, Mr. Pei ordered me to give you this Shifeng Longjing."

Only then did Su Qi'an let go, and Ah Chang said to Jiang Youzhi, who was buried in his head, "The girl with hands and feet has offended Mr. Su, my son will not spare you, go down!"

Jiang Youzhi felt relieved, turned around, and left quickly.

She walked to the corner, and suddenly leaned against the wall limply, gasping for breath, and at the same time, there was a trace of resentment in her eyes.

But looking at the study close at hand, he still stepped in.

She was still holding a flower in her hand, but because of the excessive tension just now, she had already been ravaged by her.

He approached the case lightly, with a bit of aggrieved tone: "I..."

But before she could say anything, she changed her tone, her tears were unbearable, and she couldn't help sobbing, she immediately stopped speaking.

She was afraid of Su Qi'an, she was really afraid, she couldn't help shaking when she saw that face.

Pei Xun raised his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him who deliberately forbears, anxious and palpitating tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, slightly trembling eyelashes, with teardrops hanging, crystal clear, shoulders trembling, weak and vulnerable.

He calmly said, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Youzhi tried hard to suppress the turbulent tears, but her voice was still a little trembling: "I...I wanted to pick some flowers...but...the flowers were lost."

While speaking incoherently, while trembling her hands, she showed him the flower in her palm that was about to be crushed.

The more she talked, the more she cried, like a cat being bullied by others, complaining to its owner, making people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.

Pei Xun seemed to sigh: "From now on, you can pick the flowers in the garden as you like."

Jiang Youzhi finally couldn't help it anymore, and bit her lower lip: "I just met Su Qi'an."

Pei Xun put down the pen in his hand: "Did he recognize you?"

Jiang Youzhi shook his head and wiped away tears with the back of his hand: "No."

But the more she wiped away the tears, the more she cried. In the end, the circles of her eyes became more and more red. Pei Xun couldn't help lowering her voice: "The house is safe, you can rest assured."

Jiang Youzhi's voice was a little light when he heard it, but it seemed heavy in his heart.

The voice was humming and soft, mixed with helplessness: "Let me stay, okay? I don't want to fall into Su Qi'an's hands again, I'm afraid he..."

A small white flower on a cliff that is about to be broken by a storm can most arouse a man's instinctive desire for protection, but Pei Xun just said: "Of course I won't go against my mother."

It could be seen that she was still sobbing alone, so he glanced at the soft couch beside him: "Go there and rest."

Jiang Youzhi heard the words, and went obediently, the afternoon sun was just right, she looked at Pei Xun who was writing at the desk, counting his eyelashes one by one, and her heart became more and more peaceful.

After leaving the study, Ah Chang rushed over and said anxiously, "Miss Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang Youzhi forced a smile: "Ah Chang, thank you for saving me today."

Ah Chang just scratched his head shyly: "Miss Jiang, you don't need to thank me, it's actually Young Master, Young Master ordered me to come."

Hearing this, Jiang Youzhi had a different look in his eyes, which he didn't tell himself just now.

Ah Chang interrupted her thoughts: "Miss Jiang, the young master ordered me to fetch some spices. I will be punished for being late, so I will leave first."

But Jiang Youzhi had an idea, grabbed Ah Chang who was in a hurry to leave, and said, "A Chang, what kind of fragrance do you guys like most?"

Ah Chang thought for a while, and then said: "Young master usually uses agarwood, but one year when he helped the eldest lady choose incense, he once praised Yuelin incense."

About three days later, after lunch, Jiang Youzhi went to Pei Xun's study with the cakes he made himself.

She looked at Pei Xun who bowed his head to the case with a serious face, and there was a hint of coquettishness and timidity in her eyes: "My lord, this is a blessing I personally polished. Thank you for asking Ah Chang to save me that day."

Pei Xun raised his eyes and met her loving eyes, and happened to see the blood bubbles on the finger she handed over.

But his expression was indifferent, and he just said: "Leave it alone."

Jiang Youzhi put Ping Anfu right under his nose, Pei Xun glanced at it, the high-quality agarwood was polished very well.

After a few quarters of an hour, Pei Xun reached out to drink tea, and Jiang Youzhi immediately picked up the teacup and handed it to his mouth.

The faint fragrance hits people, it is the fragrance of Yuelin, Pei Xun raised his eyes, but he has not received the teacup for a long time, looking at Jiang Youzhi's eyes with bottomless depths.

Jiang Youzhi gently grabbed his hand and placed it on the edge of the teacup, with a seductive voice: "My lord, please use tea."

Pei Xun's eyes slid from her willow eyebrows to her vermilion lips, and then to Xiuxiang's beautiful neck, but she did not respond for a long time.

The fingertips covering his own hand were slowly tightening, causing numbness from friction, and Jiang Youzhi's palm was a little hot, for some reason, he panicked and let go of his hand.

The teacup fell to the ground, the white jade cup shattered, and Jiang Youzhi hurriedly backed away.

However, Pei Xun had already returned to normal, and his brows were full of warmth: "We must not be careless on weekdays, pack up and get back."

After exiting the room, Ah Chang warmly greeted her: "Miss Jiang!"

Jiang Youzhi was so angry that he didn't even pay attention to him, that kid must have lied to him, didn't he say that Pei Xun loved Yue Linxiang?

Just now when he smelled the scent on his hands, his face immediately sank, as if he was about to eat himself!Simply unreliable!

After returning to the room, Mi'er brought a few sets of new clothes to Jiang Youzhi: "Girl, this is just sent by the eldest lady. It is said that the third son of the eldest son of the Minister's Mansion got married on the eighth day of this month, and she wants you to accompany her." go."

Jiang Youzhi couldn't help being a little worried, I don't know if Su Qi'an has noticed what happened today, if he goes with Mrs. Shen, it is inevitable that he will not meet him.

But since she came to the capital, she has never had the opportunity to investigate, and it is even hopeless to reverse the case. This time is also a good opportunity.

Soon it was the eighth day of the lunar new year, Jiang Youzhi decided to accompany Mrs. Shen to the wedding banquet after much deliberation.

Besides, Su Qi'an went to Liuzhou for political affairs, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while.

The wedding banquet was full of excitement, and all the dignitaries in the court came to congratulate him. It was heard that the Third Young Master Su married Princess Yuanyang, who was the favorite of Emperor Zhou Wen.

Jiang Youzhi sneaked out of the hall while Mrs. Shen was chatting and laughing with other officials' wives.

The building of the Shangshu Mansion was very complicated. According to the blueprints she found in advance, it took her some effort to find the Shunyi Courtyard. She heard that the eldest son lived in this courtyard.

But the strange thing is that the eldest son never showed up at this wedding banquet from the beginning to the end.

Taking advantage of the time when the guards were changing, Jiang Youzhi was able to enter, but the whole room was filled with a pungent aroma, and she couldn't help coughing a few times.

This kind of aroma came from incense, which is used in Taoist temples to pay homage to the undead. She walked around the huge gauze curtain hanging in the room, and saw a memorial tablet in a daze.

Just as she was about to approach, a hand suddenly grabbed her right shoulder, and she turned around abruptly, only to see a man in official uniform looking at her darkly.

The dagger in the man's sleeve was exposed, pointing directly at her heart without hesitation...
