Yunqing left in a hurry. He was anxious and forgot Chunsui and others in the temple. He directly greeted the people sent by Shang Lu and hurried to Zhao Yushi's mansion. Chun Suier and Qiu Rong looked at it and did not dare to delay. They cleaned up the temple and found a seemingly worthy little beggar secretly guarding on the street, and the two quietly returned to Mufu.

The carriage on the other side bumped and soon arrived at Pei's house. The courtyard of the Pei family's house is deep, solemn and dignified. There are no flowers and trees in winter, but the pines and cypresses in the courtyard are tall and powerful, holding up pieces of dark green toughness in the repressed old house, which is quite imposing. Yunqing had seen it once, and it was not rare, but as Pei Du gradually walked to the backyard, she realized that her waist and back were straight along the way, and her words and deeds were not messy. When she wanted to come to such a place, people would be solemn and dignified.

It is reasonable to let Pei Du, the housekeeper of the Pei family, pick up Yunqing in person. This room was waiting for guests, but Yunqing walked with Pei Du for a long time and did not see the Pei family. After walking around for a long time, the two stopped in front of an inconspicuous small courtyard. Pei Du arched his hand and smiled, raised three wisps of clear beard and said, "This is it. Miss, please!"

Yun Qing took a look, stroked the brass handle of the dark wooden door, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't housekeeper Pei go in?"

Pei Du lowered his head and replied, "The master and his wife have ordered that this is a family matter. Although Pei Du's surname is Pei, she is a complete outsider and should not go in."

Yunqing smiled with his brass hand: "That's what the Pei family said. If I say it myself, others will say that I'm climbing high!"

"Yo, what the young lady said is a split," Pei Du then looked up, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Although the second master moved out, his surname is Pei, isn't he? The young lady is also the apprentice of the second master, and she is naturally close to our master and wife. If you say it's separated, which one is clear and which one is clear?

Yun Qing lowered his hand, put it into his sleeve, and nodded with a smile: "Housekeeper Pei is a sensible person."

Pei Du smiled deeper and helped Yunqing open the door and bow and said, "Miss, please!"

"Oh, I'm back!"

The voice was close at hand. Yunqing had to follow the sound first, but she saw that she was just a thin servant woman in blue clothes, with a very kind face, but she didn't know her identity. Obviously, he was a slave, but he took the lead in taking Yunqing's hand and looking left and right, laughing and nodding, praising, "What a beautiful and beautiful person!" Look at these eyes, Qing Ling Ling's eyes are a little similar to the second master!"

"Who said no?" Pei Du smiled and said, "It's our second master's apprentice! Mother Dong loves the second master the most, and you can see it at a glance!"

M Mother Dong was obviously very useful. She smiled like a drunk flower and said happily, "That's right, that's right. The second master was brought up by me, and he is the closest!" Finally, he looked at Yunqing and said happily, "In a blink of an eye, even the second master's apprentice is so big, but how can I be happy enough!"

Pei Du said, "One day is not enough, is it enough to see it every day? By the way, the master and wife specially ordered me to invite the young lady to stay at Pei's house for the Spring Festival. This errand of serving the young lady must not be the turn of others. Mother Dong is still well prepared!"

M Mother Dong was almost crazy with joy. She clapped her hands like a child and said repeatedly, "Really? Oh, hey, that's really, that's great! I can still have such a blessing. This is really a creation... But do you want to live in Jingwei Hall?"

"Listen to the wife, I wanted to clean up Jingwei Hall for the young lady to live in, but the place was very remote and inconvenient. In addition, it was also the place where the second master lived before, and the mourning period was not completed, which was inappropriate. So the wife wants to take the young lady for a walk in the garden in person. At that time, it will be up to the young lady to choose where to choose, and it will not be too late for someone to clean up.

Mother Dong was surprised and couldn't say anything, but she didn't let go of Yunqing's hand. She looked left and looked at it. She unconsciously had two tears and said to Yunqing, "Miss, don't feel uncomfortable about the second master's affairs. Just live at ease. Mother Dong is going to make delicious food for you. They are all the second master's favorite food when he was a child. You can also try it. Try it..."

Yunqing knew that the person who served the second master in the past and saw her crying pitifully, he quickly touched the veil to wipe the tears on her face and answered, "Okay, okay, Mother Dong can be careful and don't be too hurt too much."

Seeing that Mother Dong was crying in a trance, Pei Du called a girl to send Mother Dong back to her room. Yun Qing saw that Mother Dong was far away. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he asked, "That Mother Dong used to serve the second master?"

Pep Du sighed and said, "More than that, that's the second master's wet nurse!"

Yunqing was a little surprised. Although he was vaguely aware of it before, the second master's nanny was a high-ranking servant. How could she dress and behave like this?

Pei Du sighed again and said, "Miss doesn't know that although our master and the second master are a young man, a direct descendant and a concubine, there is no difference between Pei's parents. The old man loves medicine and stone, and it is most suitable to inherit the family business. Although the second master has many preferences, he is most tired of bondage and never wants to be trapped in the name of 'medical Pei family'. The two brothers were originally close and never competed for anything. The slaves were not worried about following the wrong master, and naturally they were more loyal and harmonious than other families.

Seeing Yunqing nodded, Pei Du reluctantly smiled and then said, "But that thing happened... Alas, people have their own aspirations to study medicine, but why did they study poems and books and get their reputation, but they refused the palace examination at the last moment? She refuses to marry the princess again... Miss is a sensible person, how can she not understand what Pei's parents do?

"In order to protect the Pei family?"

Pei Du sighed for the third time and said, "That's right! However, it is said that people live a lifetime. Although they are free, they also need to do things separately. The interest is for thinking, and the responsibility is for the right. The Pei family is not a child toy, but the honor of several generations of a big family. How can they be seen as a joke? With heavy responsibilities, Pei's parents could only abandon the second master and protect the family... Alas, Pei Du did not mean to say that the second master was not good, but the second master only took a few people from Shang Lu Zisu, and others such as Mother Dong had to stay in the house. They were the most proud slaves in the house, but they were abandoned by the second master overnight. How could they stand it? Although the master and wife have tried their best to take care of it, it's always useless.

Yunqing stared down at the tip of his shoes for a long time, then looked at the empty yard, nodded and said, "It's difficult for Mother Dong. She is old now, and I hope Pei's housekeeper will take more care of her.

Pei Du hurriedly said, "Where, Pei Du is also responsible."

Yunqing nodded. Looking around, I saw that Pei Du had quietly retreated.

This yard is not big, clean and simple, refreshing and neat, not as solemn and exquisite as seen before. A crying and laughing Mother Dong, an iron-toothed housekeeper Pei, and the master and wife of the Pei family did not see. Yunqing had already guessed who lived in this courtyard. She took her skirt and took two steps forward. Through the green window screen, she could faintly see the thin shadow in the room. She stood writing and painting.

Yunqing quietly opened the curtain and entered the door. It was an extremely simple pattern. In addition to the antique fine porcelain vase in the corner, he was the only one in the room.

It is said that he only wears a plain old cotton robe, without a belt, which is slightly loose, and can even set him off the jade tree. Pei Ziyao was painting. He seemed to have experienced great suffering and had to think for a long time to draw a stroke. However, when he finished the painting, it was clear that he was extremely dissatisfied, but he endured it again and again without giving up or giving up the painting.

Pei Ziyao noticed someone, frowned, and said in a hoarse voice, "Get out. No one is allowed to come in."

He hasn't locked himself here for a day or two, but he just wanted to be quiet, but he didn't expect to disturb him more. Perceiving that the man did not leave, Pei Ziyao felt a headache and couldn't draw at all. He had to say again, "Get out immediately."

paused for a moment and saw that the skirt had never moved. Pei Ziyao was finally a little annoyed and fell down: "Go out, why are you all staring at me!"

It's just that this fall was very unfortunate. Pei Ziyao was stunned by the ink ideas outside Yunqing's red cloak. Instead, Yunqing only looked down and didn't care about the front of the ground. He looked at the painting and said lightly, "Pei Ziyao, you are really not as good as before!"
