The Fugitive White Moonlight of a Powerful Minister

  Chapter 123 I originally liked young people

   (This article is first published in Xiaoxiang Academy, please go to Xiaoxiang Academy for updates.)

  Wen Ning felt that her lips were a little strange.

  But the mirror in the official post is not as clear as at home, and even less clear than the one in the Duke's Mansion. She just vaguely saw that she didn't wear lipstick, and her lips were redder than usual.

   Mainly it seems... swollen?

  Woke up early in the morning, Wen Ning felt a splitting headache, she was rushed into the carriage before she recovered from sitting in front of the mirror.

  Today they are leaving for Suzhou Mansion.

   After a simple breakfast in the carriage, and after drinking two cups of tea, my mind gradually cleared up before I realized something was wrong.

  Why does her lip hurt when touched? Even if I don't touch it, I feel swollen and uncomfortable.

  What happened last night?

   I must have seen the fireworks, she has a little impression, but where did she see it?

   She seemed to be dragged off the boat by Pei You halfway.

   Dog man.

  Wen Ning glanced lightly at Pei You who was holding a scroll in the carriage and looked refreshed.

  He is in a good mood today, not only did he stop riding the horse by himself, but he also put on the finger wrench she gave him again.

   He obviously took it off a few days ago.

   It seems that she was drunk last night and did not offend him.

   Oh, of course he won't be offended.

  She almost suspected that he tricked her into drinking the wine yesterday. Otherwise, why didn't you tell her that the name of "Flower Dew" was light, and that it was actually filled with spirits?

   So much so that she was completely broken after taking a few sips, and couldn't remember what happened last night at all.

  Wen Ning poured herself another cup of tea, trying to wake herself up again.

   Just as he took a sip of tea, a few scattered images flashed through his mind.

   "Cough..." Wen Ning coughed violently.

no…

  What was the picture just now?

  Pei You...kissed her last night?

  Thinking about it this way, the tea choked even more.

   It probably made Pei You noisy, he put down the scroll, glanced over, and then said to the outside: "Gu Fei, drive slowly."

  Then picked up the scroll again and read it again.

  Wen Ning felt like a ball of cotton stuck in her throat, and recalled that scene again, was it... a dream, or real?

  It's too blurry, and there are intermittent pictures, which seem to be true and false. She can't ask Pei You directly: Did you kiss me yesterday?

   In case she is dreaming, where is her face?

   "Pei You." Wen Ning cleared her throat, and it was inconvenient to call him "Master" when she was away from home, but she really couldn't call him "Husband" all the time, so she just called him by his first name.

   "Do you think..." Wen Ning decided to go straight to the point, "My lips look a little strange?"

  When Pei You was reading, her back was always straight, her posture was correct, and she was very elegant. When she heard this, she raised her eyelids and looked over, and her eyes were on her lips.

   After looking at it for a while, his eyes were very calm: "What's strange?"

   "It's just..." Wen Ning coughed lightly, "Swollen?"

  Pei You looked up and looked into her eyes.

  His eyes were too dark to see any emotion.

  But he didn't speak for a while.

   After a while, still no words.

  Wen Ning's heartbeat suddenly increased, she doubted, could it be...real?

   "Last night you drank a lot and slept against the railing." Just when she was a little flustered and didn't know where to put her hands, Pei You said lightly: "Perhaps..."

  He looked at her and paused: "I was bitten by something."

  Wen Ning hurriedly said: "What?"

  Pei You was silent for a while: "...Bugs?"

  Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

  She heard that there are more bugs in the south than in the north, especially on the water surface, where insects and mosquitoes flourish, but it's autumn, so there are still so many bugs?

  Looking at Pei You again, he has already looked back at the scroll, and his usual indifference is no different.

   That's right, how could he kiss her. Last time in Hefengzhai, he drank the tea by mistake and almost kissed her, but he was angry with her for more than half a month.

  If her lips were swollen from drinking and kissing yesterday, how could he ride in a carriage with her happily today?

   I'm afraid I will be so angry that I will drive her back to the capital.

  Wen Ning took another sip of tea to suppress her shock, probably because she drank too much wine yesterday and had an inexplicable dream.

-

  The carriage was heading east all the way, and Pei You didn't make a special trip. It was nearly October when he arrived in Suzhou Mansion.

   Probably considering taking her with him, this time he still didn't live in the county office or the government office, but continued to stay in the official post.

  The two barely "reconciled", they rode together in the carriage, and continued to share the same room at night.

  Actually, Wen Ning thinks it is unnecessary, but thinking about going out, all the followers and guards who follow her know her identity. After arriving in Suzhou, there was probably news from Beijing that the prefect of Suzhou Prefecture actually called her "Madame". Presumably, many people knew about "Master Pei brought his wife to Jiangnan".

  Then it would be inappropriate for her to separate rooms with Pei You, and there would be rumors of a disagreement.

   It was nothing at first, she had slept with Pei You for so long before, and nothing happened.

  But recently, she always feels that Pei You is weird.

   His temper is much better than before, and he doesn't have to fight against her like before. In the room, he just reads, writes, writes and draws. It looks the same as before.

   But every now and then he would stare at her for a while.

  For example, if he reads his book and she reads her book, she is safe and sound, but he will suddenly cast his dark eyes on her. She felt uncomfortable and looked up, and he looked back at his scroll as if nothing had happened.

   This happened too many times, and Wen Ning felt a little nervous.

  She felt that Pei You was thinking about her.

   In the past, Pei You took her to catch snakes and rabbits. At first, he could only catch snakes, but there are not as many snakes in the capital as in Lingnan, but there are many hares in the mountains.

   Not only are they delicious, they are often sold for a good price.

  Before he caught rabbits for the first time, he could only watch his hands. At that time, his eyes were not as deep as they are now, but they were also very quiet.

   After watching it for a few days, he was accurate every time he came and never missed it.

  The way he looked at her was like those rabbits back then. It seems that as long as he has figured it out, he will pick up the knife and catch each one accurately.

  Wen Ning couldn't bear it this night.

  Pei You not only stared at her, but also tapped her index finger on the desk. He only made this small movement when he was thinking about something, and it was a bit difficult.

   Is he going to sell her in Jiangnan? !

   "Pei You, do you..." Wen Ning put down the notebook in her hand, and said bluntly, "What bad idea are you trying to get at me?"

  Pei You didn't seem to expect Wen Ning to ask this question, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over.

   "If you want me to do something, just say it." Wen Ning really couldn't think of anything about her worth pondering, "If I don't want to do it, you can..."

  Wen Ning winked at him and smirked: "Increase the price."

  What kind of thought did you put into scheming her? Is there anything that money can't justify with her?

  Pei You is separated from her by the hall, he is at the desk, she is at the tea table, hearing this, she gathered her five fingers on the table: "Really?"

"certainly."

  Pei You leaned back, twirling the finger on his thumb, and after a moment of silence, he raised his eyelids again and looked over: "Wen Ning, what else do you like besides money?"

  Wen Ning was taken aback.

  If it wasn't for Pei You's serious expression at this time, she would have suspected that he was mocking her.

   After all, she seems to have nothing special to like except silver.

   Oh, and one more thing, freedom.

   But there is nothing to say, but everyone likes this thing.

   "Why do you ask that?" Unable to think of an answer, Wen Ning simply asked back.

  Naturally for…

  He lowered his eyebrows and picked up the teacup at hand.

Seeing him drinking tea with downcast eyes, Wen Ning realized that the topic had been messed up by him again, so she returned to the main topic and said, "Anyway, I hate being tricked! Pei You, it's better to open up the sky between you and me, don't think about it." If you sell me, I will count the silver for you! If you do this, don’t blame me..."

   "Don't blame you?" Pei You looked up again.

  Wen Ning snorted softly: "Don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

  She intentionally made a fierce expression, got up to pack her clothes.

Although living in the official station is a little crude, it is extremely convenient. There are separate bathrooms for men and women. I go to the bathroom every day to wash and tidy up, and then I go back to the room and curl up in the bed. Sleeping alone doesn't make much difference.

   But today, Pei You didn't let her have such an easy time.

  After visiting the garden all day during the day, she was already a little tired, and she was a little dazed not long after going to bed, but Pei You kept talking to her after coming back from the bath.

   "As a general, why does Shen Jin want to take part in the scientific examination?"

   I don't know if it was because of the great victory of the Southern Expeditionary Army that he suddenly paid attention to Shen Jin recently. Wen Ning was about to fall asleep, and didn't want to answer, so she said in a daze, "I don't know."

   "Because you admire talents?"

"No."

  What is it about talents?

   "Why did you divorce Shen Jin?"

   Naturally, it was because she knew that marrying him would not end well.

  Even if Shen Jin can come back from the battlefield alive in this life, with the Liang family around, it is absolutely impossible for her to marry into the Shen family again.

  But how could he tell Pei You about these things?

   Besides, why did he even care about Shen Jin's marriage?

  Wen Ning rolled up the quilt and moved inside again, signaling that she was going to sleep and didn't want to chat with him.

   Sure enough, Pei You was quiet for a while, but only for a while, before Wen Ning fell asleep, he heard his voice again.

   "Then Yanli, apart from being a businessman at home, he doesn't have many rules and can't control you. What else do you like about him?"

  Fancy that he has a dead wife in his heart, so he doesn't need her to have a child.

  Why did you talk about Yan Li again? After arriving in Suzhou, I remembered that this is Yan Li's hometown?

  Wen Ning covered her head with the quilt and refused to answer.

  Pei You's head was peeled off, and he asked again: "What are your arrangements for tomorrow?"

  Wen Ning took a deep breath, turned over helplessly, and stared at him.

Pei You didn't realize that he disturbed her sleeping, half lying on her side, her hair drooping on her shoulders half-dry after bathing, he used to sleep well dressed, but today he is quite casual, the neckline A gap opened, revealing a large piece of fair skin, looking lazy and casual.

  Hmph, Kong Chang has a good appearance.

  Pei You asked again: "What are the arrangements for tomorrow?"

  Wen Ning stared and said: "Let Xiaoshi accompany me to the theater."

"eleven?"

"yes."

  Pei You glanced sideways, and said slowly, "Why add a character 'small'."

   "A pet name." Wen Ning yawned, "Don't you think Little Eleven is cute?"

  He was the first hidden guard who was forced into a follower by her!

  Pei You squinted her eyes.

  Wen Ning didn't understand why he talked so much today, she opened her eyes and waited for his follow-up, but he stopped talking again, and her eyes fell back to the scroll in her right hand.

  A look of concentration and no distractions.

   It's like this again, just ignore it if you wake her up.

  Wen Ning gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and turned over again.

   That's all, people are under the eaves, don't care about him.

  Sleep with eyes closed.

   Waiting until the people around him breathed evenly, Pei You lifted his eyes from the scroll, glanced at the sleeping back of the person beside him, and then threw the book in his hand on the table next to the bed.

   Heh, after thinking about it for a long time, I actually like young people.

   "In vain."

   Tu Bai outside the door immediately opened the door and came in.

   "Starting tomorrow, you will exchange with Eleven, you will follow Madam, and Eleven will follow me."

  The ignorant Bai Bai: "...?"
