I don't want to be a saint

Chapter 236 This is not the life I want!

Just after the time of banging bowls, a round of clear moon rises slowly, the brilliance is not bright or dark, coating everything with a layer of haze.

Outside the water gate of the south gate of Jiangling City, there is an inland river connecting the Dajiang River, which is about 70 meters long and [-] meters wide.

And just above this inland river, there are dozens of large and small boats floating, including small awning boats, and two- or three-story building boats.

A string of red lanterns hung high above the boats and boats, dyeing half of the river red.

Add some joy to this hazy night.

Straightforward, sometimes high and sometimes faint, the heart-wrenching sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from afar, disturbing the silent night.

"It should be here!"

Pei Ruyu changed into a brand-new royal blue straight dress, with a black 'long-legged' headband, and two long ribbons hanging down her back, fluttering one after the other.

He, an outsider, led the way ahead, and Guo Yi, a half-native, followed behind, following his footsteps, and stood on the bank, looking at the river with raised eyebrows.

Although he walked through the inland river several times, it was the first time he came here at night, and the scenery was really different from the daytime.

After all, in the night of the inland river, the scenery is not the same as in the daytime.There are endless boats to meet the sky, and the Yingjiang lanterns are so red...

Looking at the brightly lit buildings and boats, and listening to the melodious sound of silk and bamboo coming from a distance, Guo Yi couldn't help sighing: "It's really a business woman who doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, and she still sings flowers in the backyard across the river!"

When Pei Ruyu heard this, she suddenly turned her head to look at him, and then glanced vigilantly around, seeing that there was no one around, she took a step back, approached him, and reminded him in a low voice: "Erlang, be careful!"

Caution?

"Haha!" Guo Yi couldn't help laughing, and then teased: "Why, these business women with rough backgrounds are intoxicated, and you are also deceiving yourself, Mr. Pei?"

Self-deception?

Pei Ruyu was stunned, her head was a little confused, but one thread gradually became clear.

When he was in Beijing, he thought that he was in a peaceful and prosperous age, with joyous songs and laughter everywhere, singing and dancing to promote peace, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.Occasionally, a few petty thieves were quickly brought to justice.

But since coming out with my father, especially in the countryside far away from the county town, I feel more and more, what kind of peaceful and prosperous world is this?

The people were poorly clothed and hungry.He worked endlessly all day, but most of the fields under the hoe were not his own.

Even after half a year of hard work, the grain harvested, excluding miscellaneous taxes, is barely enough to feed and clothe a family.

A little bit of disaster, it is the end of abandoning family and business, leaving wives and children.

This is not what I imagined!
And what about him?
But relying on his own identity, he lives in rich clothes!
I'm drunk and dreaming!
I'm walking around!
This is not the life I want...

Pei Ruyu looked at the brightly lit buildings and boats in front of her, but she no longer had the sense of anticipation and joy she had in the capital.

This is not the life I want!

Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head to look at Guo Yi again, and asked bluntly: "Do you need my help for the five-year agreement that Erlang made with my father?"

ha?
Is this a surprise?
Flicked an old one over, and even hooked up with a young one...

Guo Yi couldn't help raising his brows, "If it's possible, I hope that Mr. Pei can enter the camp of the fifth child."

Fifth?

Fifth Highness?
Pei Ruyu thought about it quickly, and said carefully: "Erlang means that he wants to join hands with the fifth brother to deal with the boss?"

Although the eldest prince is not yet a crown prince, he is the number one heir.As long as he doesn't fall, the other princes will have no chance.

"Of course!" Guo Yi nodded and agreed: "It's not to join forces to deal with the boss. The third brother can't be exposed now. It is to find another person to help the fifth brother, and get the boss down first.

But at the same time, you have to get the handle of the fifth child!In order to deal with the fifth child in the future, dig a good trap. "

"Since Erlang said so, he must have a good strategy?" Pei Ruyu asked, thinking quickly about Guo Yi's strategy.

Seeing his appearance, Guo Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and smiled: "This matter is over, Mr. Pei should be returning to Beijing soon, and if he takes the water, it should be soon.

The uprising in Xinzhou not only did not subside, but intensified.It has spread to Quzhou and Shezhou.

If there are no accidents, the Holy Majesty may have a decree to let Xianggong Pei go there for a while.

After all, if you go by water, you will go down the river from Jiangling and you will reach the border of Shezhou. "

Did you figure it out?
This is more than just taking one step at a time, it's all ten steps away!

Pei Ruyu was a little dumbfounded, he didn't know what Shezhou was before, but since the Xinzhou uprising, news came from there from time to time, and his father kept talking about it from time to time, and over time, he naturally knew about it.

"But, isn't there a rumor that the Holy Majesty wants to send the Fifth Highness to Xinzhou to command peace?"

As soon as he finished asking, he came to his senses in an instant. This... In this way, if they return to Beijing by water, the Holy Majesty may really send his father to Shezhou...

In this way, their father and son of the Pei family will join His Highness the Fifth Prince in Shezhou!
This place is far away from the capital, and the news is slow to spread. Maybe His Highness the Fifth Prince has already set off...

This Guo Erlang is really calculating!

Pei Ruyu couldn't help but feel her scalp tingle, sitting in Jiangling City, she even counted on His Highness the Fifth Highness who was thousands of miles away!

At this point in his thoughts, he swallowed with some difficulty. This is the feeling of being held by the human wisdom pearl, and it is still uncomfortable!

Seeing his frightened expression, Guo Yi couldn't help being very speechless: "Old Pei, don't make trouble, your father is a court minister, and after two years, he will become a regular. Who can do anything to you?"

Um... yes!
My father is the prince of the dynasty!

Pei Ruyu thought about it for a while, but couldn't laugh at all.This handsome boy in front of him put too much pressure on him!

He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't breathe, no, this is not the life I want!

I am the son of the court minister, why should he overwhelm me?

No, I have to study!
I want to be stronger!

Pei Ruyu made up her mind and clenched her fists tightly.

But at this time, a voice suddenly came: "Young Master Ruyu, I thought you couldn't find a place!"

The two people turned their heads to look at the sound, and it was Wei Jinglan, who was dressed as a rich man, in a black cross-collar robe, with Buddhist beads in his hands, and was walking over with a smile.

Then, when he saw Guo Yi next to him, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, and asked in surprise, "Why would Erlang be with Mr. Pei?"

After finishing speaking, he nodded clearly and said: "Oh! That's right! Erlang is now the steward of Chu Palace, so he naturally recognizes Mr. Ruyu!"

Guo Yi smiled and cupped his hands to salute: "It's been a long time, Mr. Wei! I don't know where to make a fortune?"

"You don't know?" Wei Jinglan couldn't help frowning.
