Female Master's Warm Jade

23 (2)

There are even fireworks at night. If there is no important matter, unmarried men and women will often go together. If it can lead to a good relationship, it will be great.

Pei Jingyao was also a little surprised after hearing this. He recalled: "I only went there once when I was young, and I don’t know much about it."

"Oh?"

This shouldn’t be the case. How could he, a Daliang person, only go there once? Ya'an’s eyes were a little curious. Pei Jingyao saw his curiosity and lowered her eyes to explain: "When I was young, my family disciplined me strictly and did not allow men who had not reached the age of marriage to show their faces in public."

After this explanation, Ya'an understood. He despised these secular restrictions of Daliang. Pei Jingyao saw his expression and her breathing became a little nervous.

Ya'an sneered, "There's none near Daliang, but there are so many restrictions."

Pei Jingyao didn't know how to respond, and Yun Si said in a calm voice, "Since you haven't been there, let's go and have a look together. I'm afraid you won't be able to walk for a hundred days after your leg bone is fixed."

She paused and said, "Wait a few days when it's warmer, and then I'll take you to the mountains to catch pheasants."

Pei Jingyao nodded and said yes. Ya'an looked at his expectation but didn't dare to show it, shook his head, turned around and winked at Yun Si, who glanced at him, and then looked at Pei Jingyao with a little more doting in his eyes. After

dinner, Pei Xiaoying gently pulled his sleeve. Pei Jingyao squatted down and looked at his brother, and tidied his clothes for him.

"Can my brother's leg be healed?"

Pei Xiaoying's voice was childish, but her tone was very worried. Pei Jingyao smiled and gently pinched the soft flesh on Ying'er's cheek.

"Young lady said it can be cured, then it can be cured. Ying'er's eyes can be cured too. You just practice calligraphy and I will take you to... a very far place to have your eyes checked after a while, okay?"

Pei Xiaoying had no idea of distance. When she heard her brother say it was very far, she was just curious and asked, "How far is very far? Is it the end of the world written in the books?"

Pei Jingyao smiled after hearing this, "There is no sea there, and I haven't been there either. But I heard that it's very beautiful and very different from Daliang. Is Ying'er willing to go with you?"

"Ying'er will go wherever I go. Don't abandon me."

He clutched Pei Jingyao's sleeve tightly, his tone unconsciously nervous. Seeing that his brother was afraid, Pei Jingyao coaxed him softly, "Don't be afraid, Ying'er. How could I abandon you?"

He and Ying'er stayed in the short corridor for a long time. After he got up and turned a corner, he found that Yun Si was standing behind him. He didn't know how much she had heard. Pei Jingyao unconsciously held Ying'er's hand tightly.

Yun Si's gaze moved back from the courtyard, and she whispered, "It's not peaceful tonight, take Ying'er to your room and go to bed early."

Seeing her solemn expression, Pei Jingyao didn't ask the reason, just nodded and took Ying'er back to her room.

Since he accidentally burned the bed last time, Yun Si changed a new set of bedding for him, but he never had the chance to go back to his room to sleep. It

gets dark early in winter. Pei Jingyao listened to Yun Si's words and did not light candles in the house. He just coaxed Pei Xiaoying to fall asleep early in bed.

He stood alone in the dark night, the doors and windows were tightly closed, the whole house was dead silent, and only Pei Xiaoying's steady breathing could be heard.

The snow outside the window was white, much more desolate than inside the house. Yun Si stood in the middle of the yard playing with a dagger. The snow stained her black clothes, and it was slightly silver in the night.

The fence in the yard shook slightly. She didn't stop playing with the dagger, but said, "Since you are here, don't leave."
