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

I rushed back to the mansion in Chongyifang before closing time. Bi Fei and Zhou Mancao, who were originally sent to Zhongnan Mountain for refuge by her, also returned home the day before. According to Yuan Yanchong, those neighbors saw Jin Wuwei coming to search, and then they realized that a great official lived here.

However, the people have been afraid of officials for a long time, so no one dared to come and watch her, the minister of Zhongshu. She knocked on the door for a long time before Zhou Mancao came to open the door.

"I thought you were going back to Wubenfang again." Zhou Mancao smiled and took her arm, "Guess who we met on the street today?"

"Just tell me. There's no point in guessing." Pei Jiaoran said in a gentle tone.

"Sun Shaofeng, Mrs. Sun." Zhou Mancao said in a soft tone, "The imperial court is selecting female officials, and she was selected. Now as long as she passes the six-game exam, she can enter the twenty-four divisions."

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his head and looked into the yard. I saw Bi Fei sitting in the pavilion talking with a girl, and from time to time there were two laughters.

She moved towards the courtyard, and the two people in the pavilion got up together when they heard the noise.

Bi Fei walked towards her quickly, with a smile on her face, "My lady, you are back." Look, we have brought Mrs. Sun home. "

"Ms. Sun." Pei Jiaoran smiled.

Sun Shaofeng stepped forward and saluted, "Mr. Pei."

With a slight frown, Pei Jiaoran turned to Zhou Mancao and said, "It's not easy for Madam Sun to come all the way. Let's get to know each other. Mancao, you and Bi Fei go to the restaurant to buy some food and come back. I want to entertain Madam Sun."

"Okay. I'm going to buy something delicious right now. Bi Fei, you go with me."

I know that the two of them may have something to say. Zhou Mancao pulled Bi Fei away with a smile on her face.

Pointing to the pavilion in the distance, Pei Jiaoran smiled. The two sat down one after another, and she poured herself a cup of tea.

"Man Cao told me that you were selected for the imperial court's selection of female officials this year?" Pei Jiaoran showed a faint smile.

"It's just that I have the qualifications to come to Chang'an. Whether I can pass the Shang Palace Bureau's exam is still unknown." Sun Shaofeng lowered his head.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes, "Then do you want to be chosen?"

"My father has passed away, and no one in the clan is willing to help us, mother and daughter." Sun Shaofeng sighed and said warmly: "If we can be selected, my mother and I will be better off. If we can't be selected, go back. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to find a wealthy family and teach their daughter for them.”

"The selection of female officers this time is different from the past." Pei Jiaoran looked at Sun Shaofeng with a confused expression. "With your ability, even if you don't lose the election, you won't have a good place. But maybe I can help you secretly."

There are no maids in the house, only two of them are left. There is a slight fragrance of pear blossoms in the air.

Sun Shaofeng suddenly raised his head and looked at Pei Jiaoran in surprise.

She didn't know what kind of person Pei Jiaoran was. But judging from her contacts in Yangzhou, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would help others for no reason. She is willing to help herself, but she has some purpose.

Seeing through Sun Shaofeng's thoughts at a glance, Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and said, "Of course it's not that easy."

Knocking on the table with his fingers, Pei Jiaoran relaxed his eyebrows. He waited patiently for Sun Shaofeng to make a decision.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Shaofeng gathered his clothes and bowed, "Only according to Mr. Pei's orders. Shaofeng hopes that Mr. Pei will be ruined."

"You don't have to worry about someone. You and I got to know each other." Pei Jiaoran stretched out his hand to help Sun Shaofeng stand up, and said calmly: "I can only help you stay. As for how to go, it's all up to you. But I will arrange for someone to take care of you. Mother. As long as I am here, your mother will have no worries in her life."

After taking a sip of tea on the table, Pei Jiaoran said softly: "Ms. Sun, this forbidden area is no better than other places. There are too many mistakes to make. There are some things that you will hear if you hear them, but you can't spread them at will. Since I have the ability to send you in, I also have the ability to let you in. You die inside."

On the surface, he seemed to be helping her, but in fact, he was threatening her. Her mother was entrusted to Pei Jiaoran to take care of her, and life or death was just a matter of Pei Jiaoran's words.

Personal life and death are important, but her mother is her only relative in the world.

What's more, the forbidden area is deep and contains hidden murderous intent. If you cannot find a backer for yourself, you will sooner or later become a stepping stone for others. Rather than waiting to enter the palace and then being forced by others, it is far better for Pei Jiaoran to do it properly. She didn't know what was going on in the court, but judging from the current situation, Pei Jiaoran was at the peak of his powers. With her taking care of him, life will be easier.

By following Pei Jiaoran, her mother didn't have to worry. If he can leave the palace one day, he can live the rest of his life in peace.

His thoughts suddenly became clear, and Sun Shaofeng said hurriedly: "Shaofeng understands. Shaofeng will never reveal what happened today to outsiders. As long as Prime Minister Pei has what you need in the future, Shaofeng will not dare to disobey."

"I hope you will remember what I say today." Pei Jiaoran curled his lips, "Buy a house by yourself, and I will pay for it. If you are missing anything, just tell me."

"Thank you, Mr. Pei."

Looking at the tea cup in his hand, Pei Jiaoran did not raise his head. Suddenly he reached out and pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down. Which division do you want to go to?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I don't know what Xianggong Pei has to suggest. I would like some advice." Sun Shaofeng said.

Pei Jiaoran dipped his finger into the water in the cup and wrote a few words on the case. Because it was a trace of water, it faded away quickly.

"How about the Secretary and Secretary?" Seeing Sun Shaofeng's confused look, Pei Jiaoran said warmly: "The six bureaus and the twenty-four divisions each perform their duties. Although there is no middle palace now, the queen's seal is controlled by Zhang Guifei. Her status is equal to that of the queen. . As for the seal of the Secretary and Secretary, all documents in the palace need the seal of the Shang Palace. It seems to me that you are quite far-sighted, and going to the Secretary's Department is a good choice."

Sun Shaofeng nodded, but then heard Pei Jiaoran say: "On the day of the inner court selection, you don't have to worry about anything. You don't need to worry about whether the news will leak out, I will let you get what you want. Once you join the Secretary's Department, you can work with peace of mind. , I will keep your mother safe."

"It is Shaofeng's good fortune to meet Mr. Pei. Mr. Xiang is generous, and Shaofeng will never let him down." Sun Shaofeng looked at Pei Jiaoran with gratitude, "In the future, whenever you need Shaofeng, Shaofeng is willing to go through fire and water for you. .”

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran raised his eyes and responded, "You stand firm first, and we can talk about the rest later. As for what you want to do, you can make your own judgment. If you need money on hand, you can also quietly come to Zhongshu to find me in other provinces." Just don’t be too showy.”

A stick and a jujube, no matter how smart and bold Sun Shaofeng is on weekdays, he feels a mixture of awe and gratitude towards Pei Jiaoran at this moment. I am in awe that she has the power to decide whether she should stay or go, and I am grateful that she is willing to help.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the door.

After a while the laughter gradually increased. It was Zhou Mancao and Bi Fei who went out to buy food.

The two looked at each other and stopped talking in a tacit agreement.

A meal was set out in the yard, and the four of them sat down to eat. During the dinner, we talked about the scenery of Jiangnan, and then changed to books on music and rouge and gouache. After chatting for two full hours, they reluctantly left.

Because it was getting late, the gate was closed again. Sun Shaofeng was stayed one night by several people and did not leave until dawn.
