After collecting his thoughts, Pei Jiaoran had a smile on his face. He turned around and went down to the plum tree beside him, took the shovel lying aside and began to shovel up the soil.

Cui Boyu on the side sighed, "Langjun has to cry like a ghost and howl like a wolf all night again."

"He got a lot of money from selling his house recently, and he doesn't need this jar of wine." As he spoke, Pei Jiaoran picked up the wine jar buried in the earth and brushed away the remaining soil on the mud seal, "Tsk, brother, this wine is so fragrant. "

"How did the girl know that Lang Jun sold the house?" Cui Boyu asked in surprise.

"Oh. That house was bought by Li Xiujing. The salary he saved over the years is all in it." Pei Jiaoran rubbed the mud seal with his fingers, his eyes twitching, "I was fined another year's salary. This year's reward Share more money with him, lest he think I treat him poorly."

Cui Yubo looked stunned, "Li Langjun, did he buy a house for a girl?"

"Yes." Pei Jiaoran lowered his eyes and looked at the wine jar in his arms.

Seeing Pei Jiaoran's attitude, Cui Boyu understood to some extent what his girl was thinking. After all, she is not an ordinary girl in a boudoir. She is the deputy of Zhongshu Province. Her every move will affect the division of interests. In particular, the Li family is not unknown. Once they get married, it means that the interests will also face redistribution. Everything she gains will also fall into another situation.

While Cui Boyu was deep in thought, Pei Jiaoran had already carried the wine jar to the house. She walked briskly, as if she didn't care about what she just said.

As soon as the mud seal was lifted, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the room was instantly occupied by the aroma of wine. He took out two banana leaf frozen stone cups from the cabinet and poured wine into them.

The amber liquid is contained in the cup, exuding a sweet taste. Taking a sip from the cup, Pei Jiaoran's eyebrows relaxed. She took a sip of wine and looked around.

Pei Zhanran's residence, like the other people, likes a clean and elegant style. All you can see are silver-white gauze curtains and silver-white gauze screens embroidered with bamboo. Divide the house into living rooms, study rooms and sleeping quarters. At least in her memory, her brother's style has always been like this.

But right now, there are a lot of things in the room that shouldn't belong here.

His eyebrows wrinkled for a moment, and Pei Jiaoran said: "When did brother change his style?"

Cui Boyu, who followed him in, smiled slightly and said, "They are all gifts from Li Langjun. Langjun doesn't want to accept them, but he can't think of a reason to refuse. He can only leave them in the house for now and wait for the girl to come back before making a decision."

Pei Jiaoran put down his wine cup as he wandered around the room with thoughtful eyes. Walking to the bookcase, he took out a picture scroll and laid it out on the desk.

"He must have emptied everything from his house." Pei Jiaoran said with emotion.

"I've been here for three days in a row. If Lang Jun hadn't said that he couldn't let go, I'm afraid he would have to come again. Girl, what do you think?" Cui Boyu looked at Pei Jiaoran with a complex expression, "Emotions maintained by interests cannot last long. Even less trustworthy.”

"I understand." Pei Jiaoran held the scroll and looked around, speaking in a gentle tone, "I have a sense of proportion in this matter. At least the relationship will be maintained as it should be."

She understood what Cui Boyu was worried about. She is worried that she will face reassignment in the future because of this matter and the interests of the Li family. She might even have to give up more benefits so she can't get what she wants. But as long as she can maintain a clear mind, she can control her interests.

She came to Zhongnan Mountain firstly to find out what the Cui family wanted, and secondly to steal some wine and get some of Li Xiujing's salary back. After all, he is also a great general, and it is no good if he is too strapped for money.

The goal was achieved before Pei Zhanran came back. Pei Jiaoran flew away from Zhongnan Mountain and returned to Chang'an.

She was still the only one in the huge house. However, because the house is very close to the Imperial College, one can hear the laughter and loud reading of the prison students. It would offset the emptiness of the house.

Had a meal. Pei Jiaoran, who was bored, simply sat on the tree and listened to the conversations of the passing prison students. Most of the topics discussed by the supervisors were related to the articles they learned today.

But the supervisor who was walking at the end took a look around and said: "Hexi Jiedushi has come back early to report on his duties. I heard from Aye that he seems to have something important to report to Your Majesty. It seems that some important person is involved. "

After hearing the words, Pei Jiaoran narrowed his eyes. Dugu Chen actually returned to Chang'an to report on his work at this time, because he still had something important to report. His fingers were clasped on the tree trunk, his eyes thoughtful.

"Most of the time those who come here are not good..."

With a slight gasp, Pei Jiaoran jumped down from the treetop. It was probably Jia Gonglu who brought Dugu Chen back. While he allowed Zhang Rang to assassinate her, he secretly summoned Dugu Chen back. It seems that he no longer wants to endure her troubles in Chang'an. But it may not allow him to do whatever he wants.

Pei Jiaoran suppressed his smile and drank the wine. Lying down on the low couch in the corridor, the sweetness of peach blossom wine and the aroma of peach blossoms in the courtyard woven into the gentle wind, pushing people into sleep. With wine on her lips, she turned over and lay on her side.

Half asleep and half awake, the sound of horse hooves and the sound of the door opening penetrated my ears together. Reminding her that someone is back.

The sound of footsteps came from far to near. Although Pei Jiaoran woke up, he did not open his eyes. With her back to the visitor, she pointed to the wine cup on the table behind her. Signal the other person to take the wine away.

Li Xiujing, who had just returned, looked at Pei Jiaoran, bent down to pick up the thin blanket on the ground, and covered her again. He turned around to get the wine cup on the table, but he only drank half of the wine. He smiled and drank the remaining wine with a slight trace of his lips. Turn around and go to the well to get water and wash yourself.

When he came back, the thin blanket on Pei Jiaoran slipped to the ground again. Seeing her legs slightly bent, Li Xiujing thought about it. This little fox probably did it on purpose.

Shaking his head, Li Xiujing half sat on the edge of the couch. Seeing Pei Jiaoran's black hair spread out on the pillow, he leaned down and pecked her ear. His hands skilfully slid up his waist and opened his spring shirt. Captures skin with ease.

"Cool." Pei Jiaoran's voice was filled with anger. She turned her head and glared at Li Xiujing dissatisfied, "You are late for getting off duty today."

"Something happened in the military camp and I was delayed for a while. I came back not too late. I just happened to drink the wine you prepared." As he spoke, the lips that had just drank the sweet peach blossom wine touched Pei Jiaoran's lips.

"This is outside, and next door is the Imperial College. I'm afraid the imperial censor will impeach you for your frivolous behavior tomorrow." Pei Jiaoran put his hand on Li Xiujing's chest and raised his lips, "You have almost emptied the Li family's wealth. Right. Li Sikong actually doesn’t think you’re a prodigal?”

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled, took Pei Jiaoran's hand and put it against his heart. Wen Sheng said: "In order to thank you, Lu Zheng gave you a lot of valuable things in the past. How can I not be better than him? How about you like those things?"

"Satisfied. It's just that I'm worried about what I should do if Li Sikong asks me to collect debts in the future?" Pei Jiaoran asked seriously.

"I promise not." Li Xiujing paused and said, "When you are free, how about we move it back together? It will also be a good time to decorate this place and save it from being deserted."

Pei Jiaoran said: "This is not urgent. There is something you need to know. Dugu Chen has returned to Chang'an to report on his work."

"Debriefing at this time?"

"It's unusual, and it also means there's a crisis. Tomorrow is Xiu Mu's last day. I'm going to meet Cui Shao and the others."

In an unknown crisis, she had to ensure that there were no problems on the home front.
