The king's order has been issued, and as a minister, there is absolutely no reason to refuse.

When Jia Gonglu was about to speak again, a thunderbolt suddenly fell into the palace, breaking the silence in the palace.

"It's going to rain. Yan Zhao should go back quickly." Emperor Wei smiled gently, "The court is having a hard time right now, so I have to ask you to help me solve my problems. So you have to take good care of your health."

After Jia Gonglu left, Emperor Wei's eyes suddenly became gloomy. He promoted Pei Jiaoran to the Household Department because he originally wanted to use her hands to rectify the accumulated shortcomings. I thought she could do a lot for him, and he could reconcile with the prince internally and externally, weaken the power of the vassal town, and rectify the government. Unexpectedly, her talent showed up too early, which made Jia Gonglu suspicious.

However, he still believed that she had the ability to get out of the situation.

When Jia Gonglu left the Zhengzheng Hall, he happened to meet Zhang Rang who had returned to resume his duties.

The two looked at each other. Zhang Rang sent the young chamberlain beside him to wait while he and Jia Gonglu walked aside.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jia Gonglu lowered his voice and said, "What do you think your majesty is doing with this move?"

"Don't speculate on the emperor's heart easily. I don't think His Majesty likes Pei Jiaoran very much. A few days ago, he asked Wang Yu to do a fortune telling for her." Zhang Rang shook the dust in his hand and said slowly: "It means he dislikes Pei Jiaoran for being too much." She needs to learn to restrain herself from being too showy. So don't pay too much attention to her."

As soon as the words fell upon his ears, Jia Gonglu's eyes flashed with displeasure. But his face was still as dark as water, "What Ju Ju said is absolutely true. But since she is going to inspect Yanli, why not take the opportunity to teach her a lesson?"

"My lord, why should I ask you about this? You are the minister, not me." Zhang Rang smiled and walked away.

The ink in the sky became thicker and thicker, and even the wind became dull. Jia Gonglu straightened his sleeves and walked away from where Zhang Rang was standing just now.

On the other side, Pei Jiaoran also returned to the house before the heavy rain fell.

Pei Jiaoran caught a glimpse of a scribe in white standing under the verandah of his home, and his eyes were clear. He smiled at the scribe in white and said, "Uncle Boyu, why did I bring you here?"

"Master Lang has put me in charge of Hui Yi. Now that Hui Yi has made a small progress, I will naturally come and report the situation to you." Uncle Boyu smiled gently, "Master Lang has gone out. You have to wait for him to come back and have a meal together." What?"

Pei Jiaoran nodded and entered the room. He took off his robe, loosened his head, and lay down on the couch with a tired look on his face. After the thunder, heavy rain fell on the eaves, and then flowed down. It formed a series of rain curtains.

Disturbed by the noisy rain, Pei Jiaoran turned over and shrank into the blanket, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes. She raised her hand to rub her forehead, her brows knitted together. Seeing this, the scribe in white outside the window called the maid in the house to come forward and serve him.

"No, just let me lie down for a while." Pei Jiaoran said indifferently.

I heard footsteps coming from the door, and the sound of rings. A handsome young man came from outside and drove away the maids in the house. He looked at Jean curled up on the couch with a smile and sighed. He walked over helplessly.

Knowing that Pei Zhanran was coming, Pei Jiaoran turned over. Taking a look at him, he said, "Brother, your trip seems to be going well?"

When asked, Pei Zhanran didn't answer. Instead, he stood up and opened the food box on the table beside him. He took out a plate of pastries and a plate of bright red and attractive cherries.

"Try the cherries that just arrived today." Pei Zhanran moved the bed and sat next to the bed to look at her. "The return transaction is going very smoothly. About 200,000 yuan can be credited to the account now."

He took the cherry and looked at it for a while. Pei Jiaoran threw it into his mouth, and the sweet and sour juice rippled between his lips and teeth. She spit out the core.

"Thank you, brother, it's more than I expected." Pei Jiaoran smiled as he ate the cherry.

Pei Zhanran smiled and said, "Why don't you see that guy?"

Putting his hand on the cake, Pei Jiaoran frowned, "Brother, are you talking about Li Xiujing?"

"Otherwise? Could it be that you kicked him and found a young and handsome husband?"

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran moved his eyes, picked up the jade dew ball in the plate and carefully took a bite.

"He went out on inspection. I will tell him about this when he comes back." Chewing the cake, Pei Jiaoran said with a solemn expression: "Brother, if nothing happens, you should return to the monastery in Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible."

"Okay. By the way, I went back home. This lady Bi Fei dragged me to bring you." Pei Zhanran took out a sachet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her, "That lady misses you very much. She has been here. Ask me if I can bring her to Chang'an to accompany you. I see that your place is deserted, and you really need someone to come." He was about to continue, but Pei Jiaoran stared blankly at the sachet in his hand. Busy and silent.

Pei Jiaoran took the sachet with twisted stitches, lowered his head, and said in a muffled voice, "She is different from me. And as the ancestor's handbook said, when walking in a power field, you must first learn to hide your weaknesses. Otherwise, you will have weaknesses. Once exposed to others, it will cause capsize. What's more, I am walking on a dangerous cliff and am in danger, why should I drag her with me to go to danger? "

She owed Bi Fei her life in her previous life. To live a new life, I just hope to protect her and live a long life.

"Jiajia, if I don't come to Chang'an, do you plan to never go home for the rest of your life? Although I am not as keen as you on political changes, I have read the letters left by my ancestors, so I know a little bit about the situation in the court. Wei Qian, I think it would be good to have one more person to help you. And don’t you see that it is recorded in the ancestor’s handbook that she has recruited a group of capable confidants? Besides, it is difficult to support you alone. If I can’t help you, I can only hold you back. .I want to do it myself." Pei Zhanran smiled.

"Brother, why should you belittle yourself? You also have what you are good at." Pei Jiaoran put the sachet aside, "It's not that I don't want help, I just don't want to drag her with me. She should have her own world. No matter what she wants to do, I will support her unconditionally."

Looking at her, Pei Zhanran shook his head, "Okay. Just read the notes left by those two old monsters clearly. Let's go and eat first. Look at you, you've lost so much weight after not seeing each other for two months. many."

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and got off the bed. He sent Pei Zhanran to wait outside first, while he took the coat on the side and put it on.

The dishes on the dining table are all Huaiyang dishes, which are light and delicious.

As soon as she finished eating, Pei Zhanran reached out and rubbed her head. He left with Uncle Boyu and his maidservant.

The house became empty again.

Pei Jiaoran sat on the edge of the couch and looked at the endless rain. He couldn't help but think of what Pei Zhanran had just said, and shook his head again. She knew that her brother was thinking about her, but she also knew that with her current strength, she could not protect the people around her.

Moreover, after two lifetimes of experience, she has understood that for an individual, family is nothing more than a springboard for entry into this world. How you want to go is beyond the control of your family.

In the past, the Wang and Xie clans were so powerful that they were at the height of their power. However, due to the Hou Jing Rebellion, hundreds of years of prosperity were wiped out. Although the Yuwen clan controlled the world, they were still destroyed by Pu Liuru. After reading the history books, I learned that although the Langya Wang family was powerful, they could not face the division of clans in order to protect themselves and rebirth.

Pei Jiaoran looked away and read the book again. He just put on his clothes and lay down.
