Pei Gonggui

When Pei Jun woke up early the next morning when he heard the rooster crowing, he saw his nephew Jiang Xuan was sleeping with his feet lying on his chest, and he almost stuffed his toes into his mouth——

I don't know if he beat his uncle as a tiger in his dream.

Pei Jun caught him and put on his clothes. Seeing that he was still staring and falling down, he suddenly remembered how the child coaxed him to sleep last night. Little head, he got up and went out of the tent to call an old lady, and re-combed the baby's hair. After washing up, he took him to the cook camp to eat some vegetable porridge with the civil servants of various ministries, and then held his little hand again. , take him slowly to Pei Yan's place.

It was still very early, the morning light had just risen in the valley, and the forest outside the camp was still shrouded in some cold mist. Two figures, one silver and one white, were standing in the open space.

The silver one is Xiao Lin in infantry armor, but the white one is Jin Wangye Jiang Yue in ferrets—I don't know why he stood there so early in the morning.

At this time Xiao Lin was laughing, as if he was talking about something fun, and asked Jiang Yue to laugh with him, the two seemed to be very familiar with each other.

Pei Jun had never seen Jiang Yue laughing so heartily and defenselessly. He was wondering when Xiao Lin knew Jiang Yue so well. When he raised his eyes again, he saw Jiang Yue raised his hand and patted Xiao Lin. Facing the shoulder, she persuaded him with repeated smiles: "Stop talking, it will be a big deal for your father to tell you this."

This made Pei Jun even raise his eyebrows. Before he could feel what was going on in his heart, Jiang Xuan beside him had already dropped his hand and ran towards Jiang Yue, shouting all the way: "Uncle Hug! I want Uncle Hug!"

In that room, Jiang Yue heard his nephew and grandson yelling, and actually squatted down, asking Jiang Xuan to wrap his arms around his neck.At this time, he saw Pei Jun walking slowly on the snow, and the smile on his face because of Xiao Lin immediately disappeared, and he only slightly nodded his head towards Pei Jun, then lowered his eyes and asked softly if Jiang Xuan in his arms had eaten. .

Jiang Xuan quickly said: "Uncle took me to drink vegetable porridge, did uncle eat?"

Jiang Yue patted his head and smiled: "Uncle hasn't eaten yet, so he brought something for Xuan'er first."

As he said that, Jiang Yue stretched out his hand from under his robe, and put a small food box in Jiang Xuan's hand. Jiang Xuan opened it and saw the same dried meat as yesterday, and cried out happily: " Uncle is so kind! This jerky is delicious!"

Jiang Yue rubbed his face and stood up, "As long as Xuan'er likes it."

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan suddenly took him by the hand and asked: "Then uncle also likes dried meat, can uncle eat it too?"

It was too late for Pei Jun to cover his mouth, and immediately felt his face heat up, but seeing Jiang Yue's eyes met his for a moment, he lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Of course."

So Jiang Xuan held the food box in front of Pei Jun as if offering a treasure, stuffed it into his hand, and said earnestly: "Uncle, no one will compete with you for jerky today, and it belongs to Uncle alone." After all, he patted the back of Pei Jun's hand decently.

Pei Jun was so angry that he pinched the baby's face with his backhand: "Whoever snatched the dried meat, you are the only one who talks too much, why don't you go in and see your mother!"

Jiang Xuan was so bluffed that he shook his head and broke away from his hand, and ran into the tent to see Pei Yan. At this moment, Pei Jun raised his head to look at Jiang Yue, and saw that Jiang Yue was raising his hand to cover his smile, lowered his head and did not speak. .

On the other hand, Xiao Lin saw that Pei Jun didn't follow Jiang Xuan, and was surprised: "Why don't you go in?"

Pei Jun walked between him and Jiang Yue and said, "I can guess what Pei Yan should say in the first sentence, so go in and ask for scolding?"

Xiao Lin stared at him and asked, "What will she scold you for?"

Hearing this, Pei Jun raised his eyebrows and imitated Pei Yan's demeanor, saying gently and sternly: "What did Xuan'er eat this morning?—Pei Jun! Why do you only feed the child vegetable porridge?"

His eyebrows and eyes are three points similar to Pei Yan's, and this time, Pei Yan's high-browed and cold-eyed look is even more vivid, making Xiao Lin couldn't help but laugh for a while, but when he thought that Pei Yan was in prison and couldn't get out, he laughed again Not coming out anymore, thinking of the old friendship, I couldn't help but raised my hand and patted Pei Jun's shoulder after a long time, and comforted him: "Let her come out and take care of the child by herself in the future, don't think about it."

Pei Jun frowned and sighed in response, then glanced at Jiang Yue beside him, and remembered to ask: "Prince Jin, you and Xiao Lin are quite familiar?"

Jiang Yue nodded and smiled and said: "That's right. Back then, Gu went to the northern border with the army for the first time. When the frontier defense was tight, the imperial court dispatched the Kansai Army to rescue. It happened to be General Xiao's subordinates, and Xiao Lin was also in the camp. Fighting side by side with Gu for seven or eight months, you can be regarded as comrades-in-arms."

"Don't tell me," Xiao Lin said with a smile, "Prince, don't look at Pei Jun's appearance as a civil servant. In fact, he was also going to take the martial arts exam back then. If his mother didn't allow him to join the army, he would just follow him." I worshiped my father together, so maybe we can go to the battlefield together, what kind of young master is he..."

Xiao Linben just said it casually, but Pei Jun couldn't help being taken aback by what he said. Suddenly, he thought back to the beginning, and felt that everything was exactly as Xiao Lin said—if he hadn't entered the Qingyun invigilation school back then, but He still took the martial arts exam and joined the army with Xiao Lin, then probably Pei Yan's marriage will not happen in the future, and the thing that he took off Xiao Lin's pants while drunk will not happen, and Jiang Yue and Jiang Yue are suspicious of each other and secretly fight against each other It will not happen, and it will not happen from Hanlin point to study in the imperial court, and everything after that will not happen.

It turns out that fate has so many hidden and confusing forks in the long road. Once you choose a way to go back, you may not know how different fortunes are separated by that fork until a long time later. But at that time, people have no chance to do it all over again...

At the side, Jiang Yue was listening to Xiao Lin continue to talk about the matter of joining the army, but at this moment, seeing Pei Jun remained silent for a long time, he couldn't help frowning slightly, stopped Xiao Lin first, and asked Pei Jun, "Master Pei is still worried about the princess?"

Pei Jun came back to his senses, saw Jiang Yue was looking at him with concern, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and hurriedly broke into a smile: "Worry is nothing but worry, but you have to wait until you return to Beijing to deal with it, that's why , there is no way to rush.”

"That's right," Jiang Yue reassured him lightly, "And there's no harvest in the water, and it's hard to turn back, and it's useless to worry about the past... You should look back more. The good things are in the future, as long as people are still there, What can't be changed?"

These words were originally about Pei Yan, but to the reincarnation of Pei Jun, they had a different meaning.For a moment Pei Jun looked at Jiang Yue, and happened to see that Jiang Yue was also looking at him, his eyes were still calm and clear, just like every time Jiang Yue looked back for a long time, without any perfunctory comfort and excess The encouragement just seems to state a common truth.

This kind of Jiang Yue said such words, which suddenly made Pei Jun feel extremely relieved. He was about to express his gratitude at this time, but unexpectedly, the defenders had already rushed to tell Jiang Yue to go to prepare for the hunt.

It was only then that he remembered last night that Fang Mingjue said that Jiang Yue would go to the paddock with him early in the morning, and he might never meet him all day long.

——So, Jiang Yueying deliberately took the time for breakfast, and was afraid that he would be as embarrassed as last night if he went to the tent rashly, so he came here early in the morning to wait for him and Jiang Xuan.

"Then I'll go first." Jiang Yue hurriedly looked back to say goodbye to Pei Jun, and then told Pei Jun not to draw a bow and ride on horseback. Seeing that Pei Jun responded seriously, he followed the defenders and left.

When Xiao Lin heard this, he immediately approached Pei Jun suspiciously: "Why can't you draw a bow and ride a horse? Your waist is bad?"

"Go! You're so weak!" Pei Jun pushed him away, and couldn't explain it here, so he just raised his eyes and continued to chase Jiang Yue's back as he drifted away, frowning in thought, but listening to the Xiao Lin muttered again:

"Tsk, you and Prince Jin actually have a good day to talk, I think it's going to rain red on this day..."

But when Pei Jun heard the words, he thought at this moment:

If Xiao Lin knew what he was thinking about Jiang Yue, then Xiao Lin probably wouldn't think it was raining red.

He was afraid that the sky was about to fall.

After Jiang Yue left, Pei Jun and Xiao Lin didn't say a few words, another handyman came from the main camp and asked Pei Jun to go back, saying that he had found all the ceremonial guards for the transfer of King Rui's legacy, and asked him to go over and look at the signature.In this way, Pei Jun had to go to the account to say hello to Pei Yan, saying that King Rui's car cannot go with the living according to the regulations, and it will be transferred back to Beijing first today, and after that, there will be a funeral, so he also asked Pei Yan Do you want to tell me about the expenses of the palace.

After listening to him quietly, Pei Yan raised her hand to pat Jiang Xuan on the back and pushed the child to Pei Jun, then lowered her head and thought for a while before saying:

"I've committed a crime, so I can't decide the length of the use in the palace, so I'll leave it to the clan to watch and deal with it. I want to come to Prince Rui's mansion, but after hearing Jiang Xi's death, every house should make plans to divide his things , if your Ministry of Rites... has time to spare during the burial, then just give him the dozens of snuff bottles in Jiang Xi's study. The rest are gone... He doesn't understand poetry, calligraphy and painting My son, although the money is spent like water, but the most caring in recent years, I am afraid that it is only those things."

Pei Jun picked up Jiang Xuan, "Jiang Xi has treated you like this, and you still want to give him something, is it because he is not ridiculous enough in this life?"

Pei Yan sighed and looked at him: "This person is gone, do I still have to worry about what's going on with him?"

She stood up on her knees, walked up and raised her hand to touch the back of Jiang Xuan's head, "Besides... even if I don't want him to be a guarantor, Xuan'er is still his son. I always have to do my best, and I will take it as everything." Let’s separate the relationship between father and son. The funeral will still be held in the palace. According to the regulations, Xuan’er should go back to watch the mourning, but those women in the palace..."

"I'll have someone guarding Xuan'er back and forth, and nothing will happen." Pei Jun took Jiang Xuan's hand and waved to her, "I'll take Xuan'er back to the Zhongyihou Mansion after the first seven days. Uncle Dong, you should feel at ease."

Seeing Pei Yan nod her head, he turned around and left the tent with Jiang Xuan.On the way back, Jiang Xuan, who was always chirping, was unusually quiet. He just put his arms around his neck and lay on his shoulders, not knowing what was going on in his little head.

When Pei Jun returned to the camp and signed the matter of King Rui's legacy, Yan Yuliang and Fang Mingjue came to look for him together, saying that it was rare to have some leisure today, so the six people made an appointment to go around the paddock together and asked him to come along go.

Pei Jun was thinking about taking Jiang Xuan to refresh his mind, which was a coincidence, so he took the child to clean up, and went out with the two to join the hunters.

It was already the fifth day of hunting, and half of the winter hunting was over. The large blocks of snow and ice surrounding the camp were filled with wild animals from all walks of life, big and small. spectacular.Among them, the foxes and minks were skinned, and the defenders were counting the numbers, and the venison, mutton, rabbits, and chickens that were cut off were probably reserved for the dinner, and the traps everywhere made up for it. Most of them are used to feed the wolfhounds of the defenders.

At this time, Pei Jun remembered that Jiang Yue had hunted and killed a black bear yesterday, and he still wanted to take a look, but he looked around, but he couldn't find even a bear's paw. After asking Fang Mingjue, he found out that the bear had been separated by Jiang Yue long ago. I have rewarded all the troops. I heard that I made a few tables of five raw dishes, which made the soldiers who are used to the cold very happy. But it takes people who have been marching all year round to be able to withstand such a big reward. Civil servants like them are not so lucky. of.

The crowd gradually formed their own teams, and Cui Yu also came with the Ministry of War after finishing his official business.Fang Mingjue suggested that there is a icy lake to the east of the paddock, why not go ice fishing and catch some fish to roast for lunch, and no one objected.So Yan Yuliang went to ask the defenders for bait, fishing line, and ice chisels. At this time, Feng Jiru also came slowly, and reported to Pei Jun about the marriage proposal of the Haring tribe.

Pei Jun listened, and at this moment, he caught a glimpse of the head of the hunters, the emperor Jiang Zhan who came late.

Although Jiang Zhan looked obviously tired, and his face was almost bloodless, he still had to deal with the words and smiles of the leader of the Haring clan.At this time, Jiang Zhan also saw Pei Jun in a blink of an eye, the smile on his face froze, and he turned his head with lowered eyes.

After a while, the great eunuch Hu Li found Pei Jun with an oral order, saying that he was scheduled to return to Beijing in three days, and that he had a lot to do in the Ministry of Rites.

Pei Jun asked him: "Does the emperor have anything else to say?"

The smile on Hu Li’s face was still there, but his mouth was sealed tightly. He just said no, and then handed the wooden box in his hand to Pei Jun and said, “Master Pei, this is the marriage certificate of the Haring clan. It will be ready after the Beijing vote is discussed." After saying this, he nodded to Pei Jun and bowed down, "Lord Pei will leave."

Pei Jun also said goodbye to him. At this moment, he looked down at the box of Jiang Zhan's wedding in his hand, thinking of all the past in his previous life, his brows furrowed slightly, and he threw the box to Feng Jiru beside him. Instruct him to pack it up and take it back to Beijing, and don't have much else to say.

But in a flash, Jiang Zhan's marriage with relatives suddenly made Pei Jun think of the marriage with Jiang Yue that Taiping Kingdom mentioned to Jiang Yue.

In my impression, it seems that before Dongshou set off, Jiang Yue came to beat him so angry that he was ordered to find a way to reject the marriage as soon as possible after the wintershun ended and before returning to the court to open the seal. Glad to see Jiang Yue's old enemy entangled in many troubles, he made a perfunctory response, but in fact, he never thought of helping Jiang Yue escape.Unexpectedly, only half a month has passed, and he, a person who gloats at other people's misfortune, has completely fallen into a more chaotic quagmire, while Jiang Yue, who once asked him for help but failed, has given him a helping hand countless times——

Whether it was for Pei Yan or Jiang Xuan, or even for himself, Jiang Yue had helped a lot.

Then maybe he should really help Jiang Yue, otherwise the debt will pile up even higher, and I don't know when it will be paid off.

Thinking of this, he asked Feng Jiru, "Where is the Second Prince Taiping now?"

Feng Jiru held the wooden box and rushed to the middle of the line with his chin raised, "Yesterday, the second prince said that he wanted to ask Prince Jin about hunting techniques. He was going to go first with Prince Jin and his relatives, but was left behind by Mr. Cai. Talking about something, it will be delayed, and we can only be with us."

So Pei Jun recruited a handyman to go there, and explained to Qiu Yuanzhi's pedestrians from Honglu Temple what he wanted to meet. After a while, he and Qiu Yuanzhi stood beside the ice and snow in the center of the camp where the prey was being cleared.

Although Qiu Yuanzhi is nearly forty years old, he doesn't have the middle-aged sense of boredom all over his body. He still wears a light-colored beaver fur and a Taiping hunting jacket woven with silver and purple satin. She sheltered from the wind with the wide front of her chest, her face was elegant and pure, and her brows and eyes had the sense of peace passed down from generation to generation of the Taiping royal family.

This sense of peace can also be seen in Jiang Yue.

At this moment, after receiving Pei Jun's national salute, Qiu Yuanzhi nodded with a smile: "Master Pei is very polite. I still remember that when I first met Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei was still working in Honglu Temple. How could you know that it has been four years since then? Mr. Pei is already an official at least, and he is becoming more and more talented."

"Your Highness has a great reputation." Pei Jun respectfully nodded his thanks, and said with a smile: "Official awards are all rewards from the heavenly family, and Pei Jun is just doing things loyal to the emperor."

The eyes left behind by these words made Qiu Yuanzhi raise his brows slightly: "It seems that Mr. Pei is here to share your worries?"

"Oh, this is His Highness's flattery." Pei Jun smiled embarrassingly, waved his hands and said: "My servant is contemptuous, and I don't have such great ambitions. I took the liberty to meet with Your Highness today, but in fact it was just to govern the affairs of the Ministry of Rites." , he approached Qiu Yuanzhi half a step, and asked in a low voice: "Dare to ask Your Highness, I heard that a few days ago, Prince Jin gave a group of weavers to the second prince as a gift to His Highness. Is this really true?" ?”

When Qiu Yuanzhi heard the words, the smile on his face froze, his eyebrows sharpened slightly, but his eyes turned slightly, but he still looked at Pei Jun calmly and said: "How can this happen? How can I not know."

"Whether there is such a thing or not, His Highness is naturally aware of it. If you want to ask for a certificate, you just need to check how many people have come in the Taiping Customs Fleet recently." Pei Jun did not distinguish with him, just looked at The dead prey in the field were thrown onto the snowdrift by the defenders, and he said with a calm smile, "The prosperity of the land and materials in the Central Plains all stems from the fact that mulberry picking, silk weaving, pottery, and farming have been introduced as the land of the past dynasties. The most important thing is that the government compiled the silk weaving and other methods into a book-up to this dynasty, there was a method to increase the production of silk and weaving in the southwest, which can be said to be an opportunity to weave tens of thousands of pieces of silk yarn every month. The method has always been a secret technique of the imperial court, and it is now sealed in the library of the Ministry of Rites. Still be the prince of the court—oh, that would be interesting! Not to mention how treasonous ministers will appear in the court, just think about it from your Taiping country... the national debts that Taiping left in the court can be repaid by the court. It’s not finished yet, so it should add up to millions of taels of silver? If this matter gets out, the gang of the Jiufu treasury will definitely insist that it was Taiping who robbed the secret technique, and the imperial court owed Taiping the silver, His Highness said ...will they pay it back?"

After Qiu Yuanzhi listened to Pei Jun's words quietly, his expression changed from peaceful to solemn.At this time, he followed Pei Jun's gaze, and saw that the busy cooks had set up a bonfire, ready to roast the killed prey, and were calling for the defenders to help them put the prey on the shelf.

"Master Pei," Qiu Yuanzhi said, "you knew about this a long time ago, but why didn't you tell the emperor of your country? As far as I know, Lord Pei used to love to kill the Prince of Jin very much. How can you not be happy if you can make this happen? How can it not be convenient?"

Pei Jun thought about his words early on, and only looked back at Qiu Yuanzhi with a smile, and said strangely: "What I want is the emperor or the emperor, and the king of Jin or the king of Jin, so that he can be loyal to the emperor and kill the king of Jin, and he can also be loyal to the king of Jin." The king should be reused by the emperor, unless it is necessary, I don't want to force the king of Jin to be the emperor, nor do I want to force the emperor to kill the king of Jin, so I can gain a foothold, such a simple truth, how could your highness not know?"

Qiu Yuanzhi sneered: "It turns out that the people in the world say that the Pei family is a traitor, and it is not a false statement. What are you trying to coerce me with?"

"It's very simple, but I just want Taiping to give up the marriage with the King of Jin." Pei Jun continued nonsense slowly, "Your country's marriage is a help to everyone, but as far as the power in the court is concerned, it is important to check and balance. Therefore...if being single without an heir is a worry, then the emperor has the worries, and I hope that the king of Jin can also have them, and if marriage is a help, then the emperor does not have the help, and I don’t want the king of Jin to have it."

"Then what if I don't agree?" Qiu Yuanzhi looked at him coldly, "As you said, revealing the private teaching of silk weaving is not all good for you—"

"But if Taiping doesn't give up on the marriage, this matter will be bad for me -- I will have to choose the lesser of two evils." Pei Jun let out a long sigh of relief, watching the cook and the defenders put an elk on the bonfire She said with a smile: "But between countries, it's not good for everyone to hurt the harmony. Why should we go to war like that? And if your highness shouldn't be here, it doesn't matter. If you want this marriage to fail, There are more ways, but it’s just a little more effort..."

He rolled up his sleeves and raised his brows: "I heard that the concubine of your country has been sick all the way since she entered the East China Sea. If she is not acclimatized in Beijing—"

"Master Pei's loyalty to the emperor can be described as painstaking." Qiu Yuanzhi interrupted him lightly, "If you are so ruthless and merciless, how do you know it's not the secret investment of the Pearl?"

Pei Jun laughed twice: "I'm humble, but I can't be called a pearl, but you, Your Highness... If you really accepted Cai's invitation with a dowry of [-] guan, then you would really be called a pearl."

Qiu Yuanzhi raised his eyes indifferently, and sarcastically said: "It seems that Mr. Pei is young, but he is really good at hearing and seeing, and he is good at dancing. Nothing in Beijing can escape your eyes and ears, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy in the near future... I heard I am very worried that my sister has been imprisoned wrongly, but I don't know what's going on?"

"Are you worried?" Pei Jun suppressed the smile on his face, and sighed, "Your Highness is Daozu, why do you pity the fish? Since I know that my sister was imprisoned for wrong reasons, Your Highness must be responsible for this wrongful prison. Since His Highness has no intention of helping Let me identify Mrs. Cai, let alone that sister, I will not bother Your Highness."

At this time, he saw that the hunting team outside the camp had already started, so he was too lazy to talk about it with Qiu Yuan Zhigui, and only got back to business again: "Should we give up on the marriage marriage? Before returning to Beijing in three days, Pei Junding waits for His Highness's reply."

Then after thinking about it, he looked up at Qiu Yuanzhi, and couldn't help but think about the fate of this person in his previous life, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "'Those who make merit often pass, and those who pass do not necessarily have merit', this hexagram, I will give it to you The second prince. I hope that the second prince will get rid of the demons in his heart, succeed in seizing the crown prince, and ascend to the great treasure as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to Qiu Yuanzhi who had a bewildered face, quickly caught up with the end of the hunting team, picked up Jiang Xuan, and went into the forest to go fishing with the six people talking and laughing.

After entering the arena, there was some light snow in the sky.

Because Feng Jiru never got along with the young people in the six ministries, he had already known acquaintances and left with other familiar civil servants.Because of this, Yan Yuliang laughed at Feng Jiru, and together with Pei Jun, he led people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to dig a few holes in the unglazed East Lake, and squatted beside the holes with fishing lines and iron hooks, waiting for the fish to take the bait.

The baby Jiang Xuan loved to eat fish fillets since he was a child, but he had never seen live fish caught, so he lay on Pei Jun's shoulder and stared into the hole, but every time the fish came, he would chirp excitedly and throw the fish again. All scared away.

After doing this several times, Pei Jun almost wanted to take off his socks and stuff his mouth, so he quickly pushed him to follow Cui Yu's students, and he was not allowed to stay on the ice any longer.

Jiang Xuan walked back to the shore with a mournful face, and it happened that Fang Mingjue had chiseled some clean ice to boil hot water to cook rice. , You can cook fresh fish porridge for Jiang Xuan, which makes the child smile.

Without Jiang Xuan's mischief, Pei Jun and the others squatted for more than half an hour, and finally got together a basket of fish, which was already terribly cold.Most of these fish were not enough for a few big men to take a few bites, but anyway, they had some money for lunch, so they went ashore first to warm up.

As soon as Pei Jun sat by the fire and warmed up to cut out two fish, Cui Yu, who was sitting opposite him, groaned, pointed behind him and said, "Look over there, isn't that Prince Jin and Prince Tai? here I am."

Pei Jun immediately followed the crowd to look back, and saw a figure riding a horse-drawn bow on the snowy road half a forest away from them. Looking closely, it was indeed Jiang Yue, and beside him were King Cheng, King Tai, and King Tai's son Jiang Chi. People are hunting and just come here.

Among them, Jiang Yue was riding a tall jujube-colored horse, and he was still wearing the white ferret that he wore in the early morning.At this time, he put down the hand holding the bow first, turned his head and said a few words to Jiang Chi who was beside him, he should be instructing his young nephew how to draw the bow, and he hadn't noticed anyone by the lake.

Seen from Pei Jun's side, Jiang Yue's sideways face contrasted with the dead branches and plain white in the surrounding snow forest, his tall and straight figure was more light and handsome, and his expression was also focused and solemn, his eyes looked at Everywhere is clear and pure, as if the matter at this time and here is what he pays attention to with all his heart-if someone calls him at this time, it will be regarded as a rude interruption.

"You said you couldn't meet today. It seems that you can always meet what you should meet, and you can't run away." Fang Mingjue pulled Jiang Xuan to look there, teasing his face, "Look, isn't that Your favorite seventh uncle?"

Yan Yuliang bumped Pei Jun's arm beside him and said: "I heard from Old Cui that Prince Jin has helped you a lot, why don't you call him over and have some fish together?"

"Forget it." Pei Jun looked away from Jiang Yue, weighed the knife in his hand, lowered his head and continued to cut the fish, "Prince Jin is such a clean person, let's not drag him to eat fish together , who will take care of it if something goes wrong?"

"What are you talking about, the winter fish in this lake are good." Yan Yuliang snatched the knife from his hand, "Hey, Ziyu, I think you are strange. Years ago, Prince Jin didn't follow Let's vote together, you are rushing to curry favor with others, and even led the big guys to treat people to dinner, but now that they help you, you are still hypocritical, thinking that people are too delicate and expensive to eat grilled fish—— —I think you have hurt people too many times in the past, and now you can't bear to say thank you to people."

"...Who can't be ashamed?" Pei Jun felt aggrieved and funny when he heard Yan Yuliang's words, and thought to himself that he had said thank you to Jiang Yue many times, and Jiang Yue never said "no need" of?He also asked Jiang Yue to pick anything he wanted, saying that he could give him whatever he picked, but Jiang Yue didn't care?

Thinking of this, he felt inexplicably congested, raised his hand and stuffed the fish into Yan Yuliang's hand, pulled the silk handkerchief on the side of the boiler to wipe his hands, and said impatiently: "Okay, I'll call, okay right?"

As he spoke, he dusted off his robe and stood up, looking in the direction of Jiang Yue in the forest, thinking:

Just call.If Jiang Yue doesn't come by himself, then don't blame me.

Pei Jun made up his mind and walked towards the woods. When he reached the edge of the woods, Jiang Yue's figure became clearer in his eyes.

Jiang Yue was still riding on the strong and tall jujube-colored colt. At this time, after instructing his nephew to draw the bow to aim at the prey in front, he followed his nephew to draw the bow and aim in the same direction.Pei Jun looked up, but saw a small sika deer grazing with its head down in the forest further ahead.

At this time, Jiang Yueling said from a distance: "Chi'er, let's shoot the arrow."

Jiang Chi hastily pointed and shot an arrow, but the arrow really went sideways, and was stuck at the little sika deer's feet. The little thing was so frightened that it ran away—but it only took two steps. Then, he was pierced through the neck by a powerful arrow that broke through the wind, and fell to the snow with a puff.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue put down his bow and arrow, turned his head and shook his head at his nephew, and said, "You, you must be fooling around in Gongxue on weekdays."

"No!" Jiang Chi yelled aggrievedly, "Uncle Qi, the palace school only started learning archery a few years ago, and I don't know how to do it yet."

But beside him, his father, King Tai, led his horse over and slapped him on the back of the head: "I hired a master for you the year before last, dare I say no! Your father's money is all for nothing."

The father and son yelled word by word, which made Jiang Yue and King Cheng laugh.

Pei Jun was leaning against a crooked-neck tree by the edge of the forest, quietly looking at Jiang Yue who was smiling lightly, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, feeling that this lesson should be over, and he can go now Tell Jiang Yue to eat fish.

So he walked towards the forest, but at this time he lowered his head inadvertently, and saw that the snow in the forest was full of footprints of all sizes, which should have been left by the previous group of people who hunted here, and they had turned a plain It's a mess for nothing.

At first glance, there is no way to see where it is going.

Pei Jun had stopped before he knew it. At this moment, he felt that the wind and snow around him seemed to be piercing into his neck, like a sharp blade, slashing at his throat—he suddenly frowned and looked up. He went to cover his neck with his hands, but the ones that were blown by the cold wind turned into hands again, almost causing him to feel a sharp pain in the back of his hands, and he subconsciously took another step back.

After taking this step, he quickly took another step, then turned around and was about to walk back to the lake.

But at this moment, there was a clear cry from behind him: "Pei Jun!"

The sound pierced through the forest, like a sharp arrow piercing into Pei Jun's chest from behind, it made his heart skip a beat, and in a flash, his feet slipped and he fell down on the snow with a puff.

This embarrassing embarrassment - the six people by the lake not far away have been watching him, and when they saw him fall on the flat road, they immediately laughed mercilessly, causing Pei Jun to grab a snowball and throw it at them : "What are you laughing at! Cut your fish!"

But Yan Yuliang and the others still called him idiots and idiots, and even Jiang Xuan blushed in Fang Mingjue's arms, calling his uncle a big stupid pig.

Pei Jun raised his hand to pat the snow on his knees, and was about to stand up and continue walking back, but at this moment, a pair of healthy arms suddenly came from his back around his waist, hugged him, and lifted him up. Tuo stood up and said in a hurry: "I was the one who scared you just now, are you okay?"

Pei Jun turned around quickly, and it was Jiang Yue standing behind him.

Jiang Yueying had just dismounted from the forest and ran over. He was panting slightly at this time, and his handsome and relaxed face had already turned a little red from the cold of the wind.He probably ran very fast, and there were still a few stars of unmelted snow on the brows, but he didn't even care to wipe it off. He only looked at Pei Jun from head to toe. Panasonic breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't—"

"It's okay." Pei Jun interrupted him abruptly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

At this time, his eyes were firmly fixed on Jiang Yue in front of him, and after a moment of thought, he suddenly raised his hand and stroked Jiang Yue's eyebrows——

The moment his thumb touched Jiang Yue's brow, he could feel it very clearly—Jiang Yue was like a bowstring that was suddenly drawn full, except for a pair of bright eyes that locked his face tightly and the cold wind The eye feathers trembling slightly in the middle, his whole body was completely tense, he didn't even move, he seemed to be so restrained and quiet, or it should be said that he cherished and focused, in this snap of his fingers, Ning Ran bears the slight weight of the frost and snow that gently brushed off his eyebrows.

"Okay." Pei Jun slowly withdrew his hand, looking at Jiang Yue like this for a while, suddenly felt the tip of his nose and eyes were sour by the cold wind, and quickly smiled brightly: "I should have gone there, Sorry to trouble Prince Jin to come here first, sin, sin."

As soon as he withdrew his hand, Jiang Yue came back to life like a stone elephant unraveling a curse, and after a moment of calm, he asked, "Are you here to look for me? Is there something wrong?"

Pei Jun nodded, pointed to the lake not far away and said, "We just caught some fish and wanted to grill them. Seeing that you were here, I wanted to ask if you would like to eat some together."

Then he added: "Look over there, Xuan'er is also there."

Seeing his uncle pointing at him, Jiang Xuan jumped up and waved to Jiang Yue.

Seeing this, Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief, nodded in response to Pei Jun and said, "Okay." Then he turned around and spoke loudly to King Tai and King Cheng, and followed Pei Jun, and the two walked back to the lake together.

Fang Mingjue gave Jiang Yue a wooden stool in a very nonchalant manner, and placed it next to Pei Jun's wooden stool, "My lord, please, my lord, the fish has been grilled and will be ready soon, please sit down first."

The little baby Jiang Xuan was already stuck to Jiang Yue's arms like brown candy, and when he hugged his arms, he began to cry about being sent ashore by his uncle, causing Pei Jun to flick two fingers on his head: "Who made you chatter to scare the fish? Run away? We don’t want to eat unless we drive you away, little ancestor, you can bear it.”

Jiang Xuan raised his hand and grabbed him: "Uncle is the worst!"

Pei Jun yelled and threw his hand away, Jiang Yue laughed heavily at this appearance, patted Jiang Xuan on the back and hugged him away, and was pestered by Jiang Xuan again, saying that he wanted to learn archery from him.

After a while, Pei Jun saw that Cui Yu and his son's fish were almost grilled, so he immediately got up and picked out a skewer from several skewers, and brought it to Jiang Yue: "Come on, you eat first, old Cui sprinkled it on." Salt, taste it."

Jiang Yue raised his hand to take the branch he handed over, and thanked him and Cui Yu with a slight nod. Then he lowered his eyes and carefully observed the two small fishes strung together on the branch, and found that the dorsal fin of the first one was It wasn't cut clean, so I subconsciously wanted to raise my hand to tear it up—but I probably felt that my hands were dirty, so I just let it go and put my hands down.

Unexpectedly, the next moment, the hand he put down was gently held by Pei Jun beside him, and before he could withdraw it in surprise, it was covered by a soft and warm silk fabric.

Bowing his head, he saw Pei Jun's slender fingers clinging to the Repa twisted next to him, and was wiping each finger for him one by one. In a daze, Pei Jun had put down his hand again, and spread his hand to his other side with a smile Said: "Come, Lord Jin, please change your hand."

He said this softly and bewitchingly, and told Jiang Yue to change the fish's hand by mistake, and the hand that was just free was held and wiped gently.

"Okay, isn't this clean?" Pei Jun smiled at him, rolled his eyes, and gestured for him: "My lord, please use it."

Jiang Yue suddenly felt that his ears were almost scalded to charcoal fire, and he quickly turned his face away, but he was originally
