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

The exam period is approaching, and both restaurants and shops are overcrowded. The two finally managed to squeeze into a restaurant, but were told by the store that it was full. If they don't mind, they can ask if anyone wants to share a table.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell on a corner not far away. There were only two people sitting there.

Pulling at the corner of Li Xiujing's clothes, Pei Jiaoran said: "Erlang, go and negotiate with them. I don't want to go."

"How about we change places? I know there is a restaurant in the west that tastes good. It's the people under my command..." Before Li Xiujing could finish speaking, he was stepped on by Pei Jiaoran. He frowned and looked at her, "Jiajia..."

"Don't mention the restaurant that Shen Cejun is interested in." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and gouged out Li Xiujing's eyes.

Went back to the place he proposed to eat last time. What she saw really impressed her deeply.

Knowing what Pei Jiaoran was referring to, Li Xiujing sighed. He stepped forward to negotiate with the two people at the table as if he was resigned to his fate.

While Li Xiujing went up to negotiate, Pei Jiaoran glanced around to listen. What hits my ears are languages ​​from all over the world.

"Let's go. Make an agreement with them." Li Xiujing held her hand and said warmly.

The two of them took their seats one after another. Pei Jiaoran raised his head and smiled at the two diners in front of him. When the two men saw this, they smiled politely back at her.

After spending so long with Pei Jiaoran, Li Xiujing also figured out her tastes and habits. Everything she ordered was to her taste. After only glancing at his order, she looked out the window.

"Girl, are you also coming to Chang'an to take the exam?" The gentleman in blue and brocade robes opposite asked with a smile.

When asked, Pei Jiaoran shook his head, "No. I heard from my brother that a lot of young talents have come to Chang'an recently, so I asked him to take me out to have a look. Maybe I can meet the person I like, so that Aye can make the list for me. Catch your son-in-law." As he spoke, Pei Jiaoran tugged on Li Xiujing's sleeve with a smile on his face. Brother, please pay close attention to me. "

"This is natural." Li Xiujing's eyes fell on her, and a very low sneer came from his throat.

This person is just afraid that he has some bad ideas again.

"I don't know the girl's surname?" asked the man in the golden robe.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "My surname is Jia."

"Jia?" Mr. Jinpao looked at her thoughtfully and asked tentatively, "But that Jia from Pingkangfang?"

"Besides that Jia, is it possible that there is a second Jia in Chang'an City?" Pei Jiaoran said softly with a dim light in his eyes.

The man in the golden robe cupped his hand and said, "It turns out to be Miss Jia. I'm disrespectful and disrespectful."

Listening to his words, Pei Jiaoran's smile deepened.

At this moment, the waiter came to serve food to several people. Pei Jiaoran stopped talking and ate quietly. However, the husband opposite her was quite attentive and said he wanted to treat the two of them to a meal.

Wiping his lips with a handkerchief, Pei Jiaoran frowned, "This is not good. Aye knows that he is afraid of blaming me. Aye is an honest and upright official. Otherwise, I should treat you to this meal. Brother, what do you think?"

"What my little sister said is true." Li Xiujing said with a smile.

After saying that, Li Xiujing stood up and went to the counter to pay the bill.

"Then thank you Madam Jia."

With a smile on his face, Pei Jiaoran took Li Xiujing's hand and left together. When she reached the door, she glanced towards the second floor. I happened to see a girl sitting on the fence on the second floor talking to someone.

The voice is clear and the words are well-founded. Anyone who came up to argue with her was pushed back by her. Among the other voices upstairs, there were many who were not angry.

"We already have a man like Mr. Pei in our generation, why should you despise women? Let me tell you, you have simply read the book into the dog's belly, and you are claiming to be knowledgeable and rich in vain." The girl sneered, "Go back. Study for a few more years and don't embarrass yourself. Don't be afraid of making people laugh when you do."

Pei Jiaoran couldn't help but smile after hearing what the girl on the second floor said.

"It's a pity that there is only one person in Jiajia." Li Xiujing whispered in her ear.

"Although I am only one person, if there are people in the future who are willing to follow my example and join this work, it would not be a bad idea to use their strength to open up a smoother path for future generations of women." The smile in Pei Jiaoran's eyes gradually deepened, "Forefathers to open a school for girls will not only serve as a substitute for The imperial court recruits talented people because it also hopes that women in the world will have multiple ways out and be able to settle down and live in the world, instead of being trapped in the back house and dependent on men."

I don't know if he heard her words, but the girl looked at her from the second floor. Sensing the girl's gaze, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and looked at her.

The two looked at each other and smiled back at each other. Just for a brief moment, the two of them withdrew their gaze.

He and Li Xiujing left the restaurant together and walked slowly.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's house right in front of him, Li Xiujing grabbed her by the corner of her clothes and took her into a dark alley.

Li Xiujing's hand held her back, as if he didn't want her to lean directly against the rough stone wall.

"Why don't I know when I got a sister your age?" Li Xiujing looked at her, his thin lips brushing her ear, "You want me to pick a husband for you?"

Listening to Li Xiujing's words, Pei Jiaoran smiled, "Isn't my surname Jia? Of course you are the elder brother of the Jia family." He stroked his cheek and said, "Besides, second brother, doesn't that sound nice?"

"It's not as nice as Erlang. What do you want to do by making such a fuss in the restaurant?" Li Xiujing grabbed her hand and moved it away from his face, "You don't want someone who has a leisurely mood."

"Didn't you notice just now? His eyes have been wandering around the restaurant, obviously looking for a target to cling to." Pei Jiaoran sighed, "So I wanted to try to see if he had this intention, but I was really disappointed. It's been tried. It shows how many people want to worship Jia Gonglu as their leader. No wonder Cen Xi and the others are anxious."

Can this situation not be urgent? Failure to recruit suitable people to take root in various parts of the court means that they will be cannibalized by the other party. To them, these scholars who entered Beijing to take the exam were actually more like political symbols. After dividing the positions, political resources can be allocated as a choice for one's future promotion.

"If you make such a fuss, wouldn't that person have to try his luck in front of Mr. Jia every day to see if he can meet Miss Jia?" Li Xiujing's eyes were full of smiles, "But he doesn't know that Mr. Jia has no daughter. No matter what he does, Can't even touch it."

Pulling up the tips of his lips, Pei Jiaoran said: "It's better not to touch him. Besides, I didn't lie to him. My surname is fake and my name is fake girl. What's the problem?"

"Do you want him to hate Shang Jia Gonglu from now on?" Li Xiujing asked

"Erlang, you remember. "The Biography of Hou Jing in Southern History" said, "Jing asked to marry Wang Xie. Emperor Xie said: \u0027 Wang Xiemen is not a coincidence, so he can visit him under Zhu Zhang. Jing Xie said: "The general will Wu's children are used as slaves. Later, Hou Jing rebelled and conquered Jiankang. The men of the Wang and Xie families were slaughtered, while the female family members were given to the lower-class soldiers as slaves. "Pei Jiaoran sneered, "Xiao Bodhisattva himself was prejudiced against Hou Jing, but he caused the death of other innocent people. Although Jia Gonglu is not like this, his family is so big, who can guarantee whether anyone will be like this? "

"You are not afraid that Mr. Jia will turn around and deal with you."

"I have asked to resign as the Secretary of the School. Jia Gonglu should be busy with his people fighting for the Secretary's Order, and most likely he will not take care of me. Besides, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth. What should I be afraid of?" Pei Jiaoran stroked the hem of his clothes and said, "Immediately. It’s time to celebrate the New Year, so everyone sticks to the bottom line. Isn’t it good to have a good New Year?”

Looking at Pei Jiaoran thoughtfully, Li Xiujing said: "Jiajia, can you think about something?"

"what?"

"Aniang asked me to invite you to my house for dinner." Li Xiujing held her hand, "and then we'll watch the New Year together. What do you think?"

With a smile on his lips, Pei Jiaoran sighed, "You have too many family members, and I don't like the excitement. Just wait for me to think about it."

Knowing that Pei Jiaoran would not agree so easily, Li Xiujing sent her home without urging. Watching her enter the door, she just left.
