Chapter 456
Seeing the master's voice getting louder, Linxi was also a little scared, and hurriedly stepped forward, "In reply to the master, Uncle Hai did send his subordinates to salvage a woman who was hit by a box and sent her to Doctor Zhao. But--"
He hesitated and refused to explain clearly.
Pei Jian stood up and straightened his robe casually. "Dahai always does things in a planned way. He must be unable to handle the things you sent him when he called you here in a hurry."
After saying that, he walked out.
Xiao Yinxiu didn't know why, but her heart was beating fast. She wanted to volunteer to handle it, but she lowered her head when she saw Pei Jian.
Pei Chen followed and asked Xiao Yinxiu in a low voice, "Since it was your people who took the item, do you know what it is?"
Xiao Yinxiu shook his head slowly.
"I have been buying all kinds of mooncakes and fruits these past few days, intending to send them to the houses of people who are friends with our family. At least a dozen loads have entered my courtyard. I have never seen this one before, so I can't say where it came from."
Song Guanzhou never liked this kind of bustle.
She turned halfway and wanted to go back to Shaohua Garden, but Qin Qingdong refused and approached her and Rendong unconsciously, "Go and see, I'll take you out for a walk quietly later."
Song Guanzhou frowned, "Really?"
Qin Qingdong covered half of his face with a paper fan, "A gentleman's word is as good as gold."
After receiving this promise, Song Guanzhou followed Pei Jian on his crutches and headed for the lotus pond. The mansion was not small, and the lotus pond was quite far from the Zhengxian Pavilion. During this time, Pei Jian looked back at Song Guanzhou and asked with concern, "Can you still walk?"
Song Guanzhou listened with a burst of energy in his chest, "Don't worry, father. Now that my child has three legs, he can walk more steadily and flexibly than ordinary people."
Pei Jian rarely showed a faint smile, "Father naturally knows that you are not that squeamish, but don't try to be strong and tire yourself out."
Because of her heroic deeds in Longen Temple, Pei Jian gave her the most generous reward. Even Pei An was amazed when he saw it. "Now father wishes you were his own son."
Song Guanzhou looked at the land deed and the shop deed, then looked at Pei An beside him.
"what for?"
Pei An came close to her, kissed her secretly, and then slowly said, "You remained calm in the face of danger in Longen Temple and killed the thief with your own hands. In father's eyes, you are much more capable than the six of us brothers and sisters."
These words——
Song Guanzhou shook his head and denied it. "You can't say that. My eldest sister is the princess of a county. Although my eldest brother is gone, I often hear about his former talent and ability, but he suffered from poor health. My second brother is the prince, so it's better not to say anything. You and my third brother are both among the most talented people in the capital. How can I, who gets into trouble every day, be loved by father? Silang is just lying to me."
Pei An laughed when he heard this, and he pulled the soft and fragrant wife into his arms and made her sit sideways on his lap. He held her slender waist and soft belly with one hand, and smoothed her long hair with the other.
"My father has been a soldier for half his life, and the thing he regrets most is that he didn't have a son who could fight alongside him against the enemy."
As the old saying goes, brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.
Pei Jian had four sons, and although they were not all good, none of them shared his ambition. The third and fourth sons had some warrior spirit, and were also very talented. Jiang Qu specifically told them in detail that he wanted to train the two brothers to take the imperial examinations.
How could he bear to drag him to the border and follow him to train troops and form battle formations?
Who would have thought that the elegant-looking Grand Secretary Song, who now lives in seclusion in the mansion, would give birth to such an impressive girl.
After coming back from Linshan, he explained everything in detail.
Pei Jian kept looking sideways as he listened, "Did Guan Zhou notice something was wrong?"
"Yes."
After Lin Shan's wound was treated, although he was weak, he slowly told the reason, "Young Madam mentioned that someone in the mansion had touched her food, but fortunately she didn't eat it. Before the incense was burned, Young Madam sent people out to spread the news in order to lure out the thief."
"Ridiculous! She is so bold!"
When Pei Jian heard this, he couldn't help but scold him, but in his words, there was also worry that everyone else could understand.
Linshan wanted to kneel down and apologize.
Pei Hai hurriedly supported him, and Pei Jian sighed, "You didn't tell me about this?"
Lin Shan lowered his head, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
"I was stupid. I thought that the master had used me for the young lady before, and I was a little conceited. I thought that I could definitely protect the young lady by just going to Longen Temple, so I was careless and did not report it to the Fourth Young Master, Uncle Hai, or you, the master."
Pei Hai also helped, "Master, don't blame Lin Shan. The fourth young master's wife also said that it might not be possible to lure out the thief. It was just her own guess. Lin Shan can't predict the future. If he had reported it, you would have been worried."
Pei Jian sighed, "Shou'an doesn't look like someone who can fight or kill, but she is so brave!" He said to Pei Hai beside him, "The waterfall on Princess Hong'an's farm is several feet high. She jumped whenever she wanted. When Xiao Cang fell, she pulled him up without caring. And now about the incident at Longen Temple..."
Pei Hai heard the master speak anxiously and was no longer as calm as before, so he also laughed.
He picked up the teapot and poured hot tea, then said in a gentle voice, "Although she is only a daughter-in-law, she has the demeanor of the master when he was young. Not long ago, the master was also so brave, riding alone for thousands of miles, taking the life of the bandit leader, turning the tide with his own strength, changing the tense situation of the battle, and finally winning a great victory."
After hearing this, Pei Jian smiled helplessly and said, "It's a pity that I didn't give birth to this child. Shou'an passed away early. Otherwise, how could a girl not be better than a son?"
Turning back, I heard Linshan's final words.
"I accompanied the young lady in Master Hongzhao's room to listen to the sutras and learn the Dharma. When we were enjoying the scene, we heard a cry of fire outside. I immediately felt something was wrong. This Longen Temple is almost a royal temple, and there has been no news of fire in many years. Even though I was alert and protected the young lady to escape, the thief was fierce and my fists could not resist the hidden arrows, so I was led away."
If Lin Shan hadn't been injured and inconvenient, Pei Jian would have asked Lin Shan to imitate Song Guanzhou's gesture of stabbing the thief's chest and abdomen with a knife, "She wasn't afraid."
After coming back, I can eat and sleep.
Pei Hai shook his head, "Master, you don't know, in fact, the young lady was still a little frightened. She couldn't sleep at night, and the fourth master carried her on his back and walked around the yard. When I met her during the night patrol, I also led the way with the two of them with a lamp."
“…After all, it’s my first time killing someone.”
"Young Madam was thinking about learning some Kung Fu from me, but when she heard that it would take at least three to five years to get a solid foundation, she gave up."
Speaking of this, Pei Hai also found it unbelievable.
How could an ordinary lady in the boudoir think of this? When something bad happened, she would just hire a few more guards to look after the house. It would be even better if she had a maid who knew martial arts.
I never thought of practicing by myself...
