I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

To be honest, Ouyang Zheng was a little surprised by the proposal of fake marriage. He didn't show it on the face, but he was really curious in his heart.

He looked at the small and beautiful woman beside him, and thought that this girl is only 15 years old this year, but she has the courage and determination that many people have never had at the age of 50, or she is rebellious.

The orders from the parents and the words of the matchmaker are all left behind, and they don't even pay much attention to the reputation and common customs of the boudoir.

Ouyang Zheng thought about it, and felt that he should persuade him again.

He is much older than her, and has a deeper understanding of people's hearts in the world, so he has the responsibility to remind one or two, so that the little girl will not regret it in the future:

"Miss Pei, it doesn't matter...whether there is a physical relationship between you and me, but as long as you marry into Ouyang's family, live in the same room with me and get along day and night, as husband and wife, for many people, you are already married. .

"Besides, many men and husbands in this world are broad-minded and informal in terms of brotherly loyalty, but they seem to have changed their hearts when it comes to their children's love. They are quite fussy and picky. The girl feels uncomfortable today. A trivial matter that you take for granted may cause you to be hurt in the future.”

Pei Xiang is not a real 15-year-old boudoir girl, so she naturally knew that Ouyang Zheng's words were not alarmist. She smiled gratefully and said in a relaxed tone:

"Eldest son, think too far, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. I will face things a few years later, so why make things difficult for me now."

"People should have foresight."

"However, if we don't get married, I will be worried. Eldest son, you must let me stay to treat your illness. If you divorce, how will you explain to the Pei family how to keep people? Well, Let me remind you, the Pei family doesn't know that I have medical skills, and we can't let them know, otherwise they will send someone to arrest me. Because in their view, I must have secretly learned Pei's Poison Sutra Cheats."

Ouyang Zheng murmured: "Miss Pei can pretend to be sick, so that she can't travel far and return to Guizhou. You see, if I am injured and you are sick, the marriage will naturally fail. After that, I am willing to marry Jinlan with the girl, and we will be called brothers and sisters."

"Brother and sister..."

Pei Xiang thought about Ouyang Zheng's proposal, and was a little moved, but when he thought about it again, he felt that it was not appropriate.

Five years is not a short time.

During this period, she needs to deal with inquiries from the Pei family, preventing them from discovering clues and taking her back; she needs to be by Ouyang Zheng's side at all times to recuperate his body, and may even take care of him day and night; she needs to personally command and mobilize the Baituoshan people The forces searched for medicinal materials and poisons for her...

The identity of the righteous sister is not as legitimate and deterrent as the identity of the lady of the White Camel Villa.

——No matter how outsiders look at it, personally speaking, the fake marriage has little impact, but it can save me a lot of trouble.

——In case all the medicinal materials cannot be found within five years, it is more convenient to act as a widow.

——Of course, to be honest, this has something to do with Ouyang Zheng's good looks.If he is greasy, wretched and conceited, I will not be able to make me choose a fake marriage even in all kinds of troubles.

Thinking of this, Pei Xiang's thinking took a slight turn.

She remembered that Mrs. Ouyang who had an affair with Ouyang Feng in the original book was most likely the daughter of Pei's parents.If she agreed to Ouyang Zheng's proposal today and pretended to be a bedridden sick beauty, it would delay the marriage of the two families.So, will the Pei family send that young lady over?

——Well, no, there can be no further complications!

——The most important thing now is to try to find the medicinal materials and poisons for the whole body to restore my strength.

——Anything else has to be taken a step back, such as fame, remarriage, and future husband-in-law's views are all floating clouds.

"Eldest son, I need to keep an eye on your condition, and I will inevitably go in and out with you. Lonely men and widows stay together for a long time, and you and I have already discussed marriage. The three matchmakers and six hires are only one step away. With such an unclear relationship between siblings, it would be better to marry in a dignified way, be a widow in a dignified way, and then remarry in a dignified way.”

When the little girl uttered three words "upright and dignified" in a row, Ouyang Zheng suddenly felt a bit of a headache, and he sighed while resting his forehead:

"Zheng's thinking was wrong, or Miss Pei saw it through. The matter has come to this point, and Zheng can't tell the girl to leave, and he will never give up five years of life, but he thinks about everything carefully, which seems a bit hypocritical and pedantic.

"Miss Pei, just follow your suggestion. In the future...Zheng will try her best to arrange the affairs of the funeral and leave more guarantees for you."

When Pei Xiang heard that Ouyang Zheng finally agreed to her condition, his eyebrows and eyes frowned.

Seeing Pei Xiang's relaxed and happy face, Ouyang Zheng concealed the complicated and deep eyes by lowering his head to drink tea.

He is not really a modest gentleman, nor would he be so kind in the past.

But the appearance of this Second Miss Pei brought him great hope, like dew after a long drought.How can a person in a desperate situation let go of his only hope?Even if the hope is not permanent relief, as long as it can bring some cool and comfort, it is precious after all.

——Precious hope, of course, deserves careful care, and of course it deserves to show the few good and generous sides in my heart.

Pei Xiang was in a better mood at this time, and he was interested in chatting.

"The eldest son is a man with eyebrows and eyebrows, so will he care about the relationship between his children?"

Ouyang Zheng thought about it seriously, and admitted that he was also an ordinary person:

"To tell the truth girl, I will care. If I really put people in my heart, I probably can't help but wonder if she thinks that I am inferior to another person, and will she secretly miss the other person in her heart .”

"Then you feel uncomfortable, what should you do? Ignore her? Lose your temper in a strange way? Or just move on?"

These words provoked Ouyang Zheng to smile, he still had a good temper, and said gently:

"People who make me worry about gains and losses are naturally very important. I will not push people away, nor will I hurt her."

——I will only pull out all the things she misses, clings to, and unforgettable things one by one.

——Whether it's framing, or turning black and white, the extra people have to disappear from the bottom of her heart, and she will only remember my kindness from now on.

——In short, what is an eyesore should disappear, and I will always get what I want.

The two reached a verbal agreement so far, Pei Xiang did not waste any time, and immediately re-examined Ouyang Zheng's body.

This time it took longer and the inspection was more careful. The prescriptions given were not only oral, but also included baths and daily medicine packs, as well as dietary taboos and work and rest arrangements.Various details filled three sheets of paper.

Putting down the brush, Pei Xiang told Ouyang Zheng again and again while waiting for the ink on the rice paper to dry:

"It's best for us to get married within a month, so that I can give you acupuncture and massage. By the way, from today onwards, you can no longer drink alcohol, and don't take the secret medicine to improve your complexion like last time. Burning incense in the room Stop it for now, and wait for me to redeploy it later. You still need to continue practicing the internal strength you cultivated before, although it will hurt a little, but it is good for your internal organs, and it can more or less nourish your body."

For Pei Xiang's exhortations, Ouyang Zheng kept them in mind.He stood beside Pei Xiang and looked down at the contents on the rice paper. He first praised the good words, and then began to silently read the contents on the paper. The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.

"I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I have been dealing with decoctions all year round. People say that after a long illness, I become a doctor. I think my level is about the same. I was quite complacent in the past. I joked occasionally that even if I am no longer the eldest son of the Ouyang family, You can also seek a reputation as a good doctor in Xinglin. But now after seeing Miss Pei's prescription, Zheng knows that he is arrogant after all, and Miss Pei is a great talent."

Pei Xiang looked sideways at Ouyang Zheng, and asked curiously, "Don't you ask me where my teacher came from?"

Ouyang Zheng said with a smile: "There have been many rules and regulations since ancient times. I don't know the rules of the girl's school, so I don't take the liberty to ask. If one day the girl feels that she can reveal something, and Zheng is still alive at that time. If so, it’s natural to make a pot of tea and listen to a legendary story.”

"The eldest son is open-minded."

"It's not open-mindedness, but Zheng's life is really short, so he had to restrain many impulses to explore, and just focus on looking forward. Since you know that the girl's medical skills are excellent, why bother to ask the bottom line."

"But I'm only 15 years old this year. Logically speaking, shouldn't the person who taught me be even stronger? Just because I can't completely heal the eldest son's body doesn't mean others can't. Isn't the eldest son really curious?"

"It would be a lie to say that you are not curious," Ouyang Zheng said frankly, "I wanted to send someone to Guizhou to investigate carefully, to see if I could be lucky enough to find a certain hidden doctor, but I gave up in the end."

"Why give up?"

"Since he is a hermit, his whereabouts are unpredictable, but Zheng hastily searched for it, but he has no clue, and he has a little more obsession for nothing, which affects his mood.

"Furthermore, Miss Pei has never mentioned this matter. Since Zheng has decided to ask Miss Pei to take full responsibility for Zheng's body, she will not go back on what she said. Zheng also believes that if Miss Pei has a better way to continue her life, she will definitely ask Zheng Mentioned. After all, a living Ouyang Zheng can bring more benefits."

Pei Xiang raised her eyebrows, she wasn't sure if Ouyang Zheng really gave up sending people to find the so-called hidden doctor as he said.But since she mentioned this topic, she still gave her own answer.

"My master is no longer in this world. If he is still alive, I will definitely ask him to come out of the mountain to see the Eldest Young Master."

Ouyang Zheng nodded slightly, not hiding his disappointment.However, he quickly raised his eyebrows again, and bowed in a relaxed and unrestrained way:

"Since that's the case, Zheng will leave the next five years to Miss Pei, please worry about it, and help Zheng to fulfill his long-cherished wish."

Pei Xiangyan said: "Eldest Young Master protects me, so I will naturally repay Eldest Young Master with all my heart."

The handwriting gradually dried out, Pei Xiang stuffed the paper into a blue purse and handed it to Ouyang Zheng.

After taking the purse, Ouyang Zheng sat down for a while, then took his leave and left.

In the afternoon of the second day, the sender of the Pei family told Pei Xiang with a smile on his face that the day of her marriage had been fixed, and it was the nearest auspicious day, the sixth day of the next month.

Next is the wedding day.The Pei family in Biezhuang are all busy, but the bride-to-be is still leisurely. She spends most of her time reading the Zheng family's collection of books. Occasionally, when she gets tired, she plays the piano, draws two strokes, or takes a walk in the garden and feeds the koi .

Biyun sometimes asks Pei Xiang to embroider two stitches on some brand-new clothes, even if Pei Xiang is preparing the dowry himself.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Pei Xiang was taken to the Baituo Mountain Villa by the groom Ouyang Zheng himself. After getting off the sedan chair, he led her to worship and marry her, and then sent her to the new house.

In the new house, Pei Xiang waited until everyone had left, then ordered Biyun to help her remove her make-up and wash and change her clothes again.When she came out from behind the screen refreshed, Ouyang Zheng was sitting on the soft bed reading a book.

"Why did you come back so early?"

"Second brother was helping me hold back the drink. I coughed twice, but no one stopped me from leaving."

Pei Xiang walked up to Ouyang Zheng and sat down, beckoning him to hand her his wrist.

"I coughed on purpose, I don't feel tired today."

After Pei Xiang took Ouyang Zheng's pulse, he asked him to take two pills that he carried with him.

"You don't feel tired, but your body is already very tired. Alas, I have to adjust the treatment method so that you don't have this illusion of energy all the time. When it's time to rest, you still have to rest, just like a normal person .”

Ouyang Zheng swallowed two sour and bitter pills with the warm water in the cup, resisted not to look at the wedding candies and sweet noodles on the table, turned his head and said:

"I don't need to worry about these small places. I can live according to the routine of ordinary people. Whether I feel tired or not, I just need to rest when the time comes."

Pei Xiang tilted his head to look at him, and Fox questioned:

"Are you sure? When you have a bunch of things to do, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop. It's so unpleasant to have to stop to rest when you're obviously full of energy. I'm afraid that even if you're lying on the bed, you won't be able to stop." I am constantly thinking about things, making plans and calculating people, so can I rest like that?"

Ouyang Zheng imagined it for a while, then couldn't help laughing and said: "Well, I'm really not sure if you say that."

After Pei Xiang checked Ouyang Zheng's body, he sat in front of the dressing table and combed his wet hair.The dragon and phoenix red candle not far away illuminated her face, and the candlelight softened the coldness in her eyes, adding a bit of softness and tranquility.

Ouyang Zheng looked at it quietly for a while, thinking that this is his little wife, she is smart, beautiful, proud, and full of vitality, and she plans to remarry in five years.

"Where do you sleep tonight?"

"Here," Ouyang Zheng pointed at the soft bed under his body, "I'll have someone clean up the study room tomorrow, and I'll sleep in the study room from now on, and you can rest here."

"Can I take a medicinal bath in the study?"

"not very convenient."

"I guess so." Pei Xiang leaned forward and looked in the direction of the door, "Have someone clean up the outside room. You can rest in the outside room so that I can give you acupuncture and medicine."

Ouyang Zheng said hello, and found himself a little sleepy, he pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to refresh himself.

A hazy voice came from his head, seeming to persuade him gently: "Go to sleep, this is the effect of the sleeping incense..."

In the early morning of the next day, Pei Xiang pushed open the door and softly ordered the servants and maids waiting outside:

"The eldest son was too tired last night. He hasn't gotten up yet. He probably needs to sleep for about half an hour. Don't disturb him."

After speaking, Pei Xiang left with the wooden sword in his hand.Starting today, she has to strengthen the strength of this body little by little.

On the way, some servants who didn't know the truth looked at the radiant and fast-paced new lady: "..."
