After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

It started to rain again in Chang'an City, and Pei Jiaoran walked alone in the rain. The world is covered by a curtain of rain, and there is no trace of the way back or the way back.

Let the rain wet your clothes. Pei Jiaoran was soaked in the rain and left the palace under the surprised eyes of the Jinwu guards guarding the city.

The rain became heavier and thunder continued in the sky. The excitement on Zhuque Street also came to an abrupt end, and the eaves were filled with passers-by taking shelter from the rain.

Realizing that the passers-by were looking at her as if they were crazy, Pei Jiaoran pursed her lips and quickened her pace. She wanted to return home to Chongyifang as soon as possible.

Even if your home is deserted, you can still have shelter from the wind and rain.

By the time she returned home to Chongyifang, she was completely soaked and her face was stained with water. The whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.

Taking a deep breath, Pei Jiaoran brushed off the water stains on his face. Opening the door, I saw a person standing under the verandah. He stopped immediately and looked over with a wary expression.

Rain fell in front of my eyes, blurring my vision. Pei Jiaoran blinked and dispersed the raindrops. She was right, there was indeed a person standing under the verandah.

She was startled. At that moment, she had already identified who the person was. After closing the door, he walked over with his head lowered.

Pei Jiaoran stopped at the foot of the corridor and raised his head to look at the person coming. Reluctantly, he opened his lips and called out, "Brother."

The visitor is her brother Pei Zhanran.

Probably because he hadn't seen his relatives for a long time, Pei Jiaoran didn't want to get too close, and his expression was rather dull. Until Pei Zhanran took the umbrella handed by the servant and walked towards her, covering her from the ruthless rain. Driven by her blood connection, she couldn't help but move closer to her brother.

Pei Zhanran just sighed and held her hand. The warmth dispelled the coldness on her fingertips, and she came back to reality.

Pulling her back into the house, Pei Zhanran called the accompanying maid to help her take off her clothes. He walked to the door and stood silently.

By the time the maid came out, Pei Jiaoran had already changed her clothes. Sitting next to the table with a thin blanket, he stared at the bowl of ginger soup on the table in trance.

"Drink the ginger soup first to dispel the cold, add brown sugar." Pei Zhanran pushed the ginger soup in front of her.

As he was told, he picked up the ginger soup and drank it all in one gulp. Pei Jiaoran put the ginger soup down and buried his head in his arms.

Since I was fifteen years old, my brother and I left home to travel far away, one to the north and the other to the west. The two did not see each other for seven years. If you include your previous life, it will be at least more than ten years. Now that she suddenly saw Ku Kuo's relatives for many years, she really didn't know what to say.

"Does it make sense for you to make yourself so embarrassed?" Pei Zhanran sat down opposite her and sighed, "Getting wet in the rain is not the way to solve the problem."

"But it can make me sober up." Pei Jiaoran's voice was muffled.

Knocking on the table hard, Pei Zhanran said: "Then you can sober up by dancing in Qujiang."

"Too many people died in Qujiang." Pei Jiaoran raised his head and retorted.

"You still know." Pei Zhanran glared at her and shook his head, "Eat first. Let's talk about anything after dinner."

Although the two have traveled all over the country in recent years, they still fall in love with Huaiyang cuisine and Jiangsu cuisine.

The brother and sister adhered to the discipline of not saying anything when eating, but they still didn't open their mouths until the servants came in to remove the meal and served tea.

"Brother, why don't you ask me if I want to switch to Jia Gonglu?"

After taking a sip of tea, Pei Zhanran said: "I have never been as keen on power as you. But you must have your own reasons for doing this. Since I was a child, I only remember that my ancestor said in the handbook that there are no eternal enemies in the field of power, and there is no Forever friends. Because interests will change. So you can rely on whoever you want."

Pei Jiaoran pursed his lips when he heard this. This has been the principle that her family has followed for so many years. It is also because of this that her family has a rule that severing family ties is necessary to enter the power field. The ancestor's handwriting says that only one can go to high places without being fettered.

"That's it." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows, "I originally wanted to take advantage of the summer tax issue to get rid of the moth in the third division. But I didn't expect that I would get involved today."

He hid it so deeply today that she could ignore his existence.

"It's just a wrong step, is it worth this?" Seeing that Pei Jiaoran's tea cup was empty, Pei Zhanran poured a cup of tea for her, "This is not like your past behavior."

Past style? Pei Jiaoran frowned. She really shouldn't take the temporary defeat to heart. But she should reflect on where she went wrong.

Is the action too radical? no. Is it the reverse scale that touches the present? It seems not. She was stuck in the fog and couldn't find out where she went wrong, which led her to take action.

"Tell me what happened."

After hearing about it, Pei Jiaoran honestly told Pei Zhanran what happened.

Unexpectedly, Pei Zhanran reached out and knocked her on the head, and said in a gentle voice, "You are really a fan of the authorities. I'm afraid there are other opinions on this matter, so why should you keep worrying about it. At the moment, the central government does not mean to belittle you, which means you can still continue. Move forward.”

Pei Jiaoran frowned slightly, she had also thought of this. But I still feel frustrated and angry. The ministers below were fighting fiercely, but the king just stood aside and watched.

"Jiajia, don't think so much. You are the person chosen by our family, and you will be remembered in history like our ancestors." Pei Zhanran said with a smile.

Glancing at Pei Zhanran, she nodded. After all, they are brothers and sisters from the same mother, and the two of them actually have the same ideas.

"Brother, have you seen Aye and Aniang?" Pei Jiaoran muttered, holding his chin with both hands.

"No. You know our family has a lot of weird rules." Pei Zhanran looked indignant. "How could you abandon your children and fly away when you get old? I don't know why our ancestors set such weird rules."

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips. She didn't think there was anything wrong with such a rule. Traveling far away from home allowed her to see the majesty of mountains and rivers thousands of miles away. Even though I can’t see Aye Aniang, I do miss them a bit.

"I know you have admired them since you were a child. But when I read the letters they left, I feel more and more that the two of them can be together, mostly because they are a perfect match. They are both bad masters." Pei Zhanran looked indignant when he mentioned his ancestors. .

People in the past planted trees, and future generations enjoy the shade. But only his ancestors worked tirelessly to dig holes one after another for future generations.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Pei Zhanran looked at her. He said seriously and sincerely: "Jiajia, you must not imitate them. It is not good to be led astray."

"I think it's pretty good." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

When the words fell on his ears, Pei Zhanran pursed his lips and remained silent. Yes, it seems that his sister has been corrupted by those two evil-hearted ancestors. But that’s fine too.

"Jiajia, brother is gone. Take good care of yourself." Pei Zhanran stood up and warned.

"Brother, why don't you stay one night?"

"How can you find a second quilt in this poor place?" Pei Zhanran shook his head, raised his lips and chuckled, "Not to mention that I have to go to Zhongnan Mountain. Our green mountains will not change, and our green water will always flow. We will naturally meet each other if we are destined to do so. See."

Listening to Pei Zhanran's words, the smile on Pei Jiaoran's lips gradually deepened.

This brother of hers has been fond of mountains and rivers since childhood. But has anyone seen someone living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain with servants?
