When they got home, Shen Jiahe's limbs were freezing cold, and Pei Yi was sweating profusely.

Pei Yi took off her clothes, wiped off her sweat with a towel, then got into the bed, and waved to Shen Jiahe: "Come on, I'll warm you up."

Shen Jiahe hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice, "You can't do anything else."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "I have a lot to say to you, and I don't have time to do anything else."

Shen Jiahe had no choice but to take off his robe and shoes and socks and go to bed.

Pei Yi directly hugged him into his arms, and stretched out his hand to tuck in the corner of the quilt.

His embrace was as warm as a stove, and quickly dispelled the chill from Shen Jiahe's body.

"Tell me, how did you come here all these years?" Pei Yi whispered softly in his ear.

Shen Jiahe said indifferently: "There's nothing to say, it's just the four seasons, day and night cycle."

Pei Yi was silent for a moment, then said, "You must have suffered a lot, right?"

It is true that he has suffered a lot, but Shen Jiahe doesn't feel it. As long as he can live freely, he will be happy.He replied: "No."

Pei Yi hugged him tightly and said, "From now on, I will never let you suffer a little bit."

Shen Jiahe smiled and said, "You should first think about how to support yourself."

Pei Yi propped up her body with one hand, lifted Shen Jiahe's chin with the other, looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you really think that your husband is penniless?"

Shen Jiahe was startled, Pei Yi couldn't help but bowed her head and kissed him between the brows, and said with a smile, "Honey, after all these years, you are still so naive."

Shen Jiahe's face was slightly hot, but fortunately his back was facing the light, so Pei Yi should not be aware of it.

Pei Yi laughed to himself and said, "Before I feigned death, I asked Niannian to deposit 100 million taels of silver in Baofeng Bank, which is enough for our family of three to spend several lifetimes."

Shen Jiahe said disdainfully: "These 100 million taels, did you earn one tael yourself?"

Pei Yi said: "Although I didn't earn it myself, I also have credit for it."

Shen Jiahe said: "Are you going to sit and eat in the future?"

Pei Yi thought about it with a smile, and said, "I'll go to Mo Kezhai to help you, okay?"

Shen Jiahe said: "Sister Yue'e can help me, I don't need you."

Pei Yi said: "Then let her go."

Shen Jiahe said: "Impossible."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "I have a way to let her go by herself."

Shen Jiahe frowned and said, "What do you want?"

Pei Yi said, "I won't tell you."

Shen Jiahe said: "I warn you, if you dare to do anything to hurt her, I will never forgive you."

Pei Yi lay down again, leaned over to rub the tip of Shen Jiahe's nose, and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Shen Jiahe pushed him away, lowered his eyes and said, "Be more honest."

Pei Yi backed away a little, and said, "Don't you care about how Niannian and I have lived these years?"

Shen Jiahe remained silent.

Pei Yi said to herself, "I've been looking for you ever since I knew you were alive. In the first few years, I thought about you so much that I could hardly survive, so I had to devote all my attention to political affairs, day and night Busy, using this to paralyze myself, I never thought I would become a praised and wise prince. When thinking of you becomes a habit, it will no longer feel so difficult. But every time I dream back at midnight, thinking of you is like a poison The sharp blade keeps stabbing in my heart, and it hurts deeply. I am not afraid of your jokes, I have cried many times in secret. I sometimes hate you, hate you for being so cruel, and refuse to give me any news Send it here. Fortunately, the emperor paid off, and finally taught me to find you. But I can't take you back to the palace, I know you want to live freely, I can't put you in a cage again, I have already If you miss once, you can’t make a second mistake. So, I planned secretly, finally took off the shackles, escaped from the cage, and came straight to you. From now on, I will accompany you, live a good life, live a happy life On a good day, no one can separate us, except Lord Yan."

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, looked up at Pei Yi, and said, "Are you willing to hand over the throne to someone else, or to be the one who designed you and used you?"

Pei Yi caressed his face and said with a smile: "Compared to you, the throne is insignificant. If Wei Yan wants it, give it to him. I don't care."

Shen Jiahe said: "Aren't you worried that he will drive you to death?"

"I know Wei Yan. He is a complicated person. Although he does not use any means to achieve his goals, he also has his own rules of conduct. He has already got what he wants, and I have no value or threat to him. I believe he will not They will attack me." Pei Yi laughed and said, "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Jiahe lowered his eyes and said, "I'm worried that you will implicate me, Nian Nian, and the villagers."

Pei Yi chuckled twice, and said, "You are good at everything, but this is the only bad thing. You always say what you mean. When will I hear you tell the truth?" He suddenly remembered something, and looked at Shen Jiahe with burning eyes. Said: "On the day I set off, you said you liked me a little bit, but really?"

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, and said, "I forgot."

Pei Yi was slightly disappointed, but then cheered up again, and said, "One day, I want you to say this sentence to me again."

Shen Jiahe didn't respond, but he saw Pei Yi's jade pendant hanging around his neck. He reached out to pick it up and held it in his palm. He stared and saw that it was the unicorn jade he gave him.

Pei Yi said softly, "I've been wearing it next to my body all these years, and never left it for a moment."

Shen Jiahe's thoughts had already drifted elsewhere, and he was silent for a while before he said calmly, "Jiaze...do you know any news about him?"

Pei Yi said: "Because I thought that you might go to join Ye Jiaze, so I set up an eyeliner in the Mansion of the King of Delirium and monitored Ye Jiaze for nine years, so I know about him."

Shen Jiahe really wanted to go to find Ye Jiaze, but it was too easy to expose, so he didn't go.

These years, he had no news of Ye Jiaze, and he was really worried about it.

Shen Jiahe said: "Tell me everything you know."

Pei Yi knew that he was eager, so he didn't keep it secret, and said directly: "After you left, Ye Jiaze sent you a few letters. I didn't want him to know that something happened to you, so I wrote back to him in your handwriting, but for some reason It actually made him suspicious, so he ran directly to Xunyang to find you. I couldn't tell him the truth, so I said you were dead, and he couldn't accept it, so he beat me up. This matter spread to my father's ears, and many troubles arose , but in the end it was settled by me. Ye Jiaze was expelled from Xunyang by my father and ordered never to set foot in Mu country. After he returned to Beilan, I wrote to him and told him that you are not dead, and told the whole story .Instead of believing that you are dead, he is more willing to believe that you are still alive. He began to look for you all over the world like me. I couldn't find you, and he couldn't find you, but he never gave up, and he still Looking for you."

Shen Jiahe's heart ached so hard that she tried not to shed tears.

Pei Yi said distressedly: "When spring starts, let's go to Beilan to see him together, okay?"

Shen Jiahe nodded, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Is he married?"

Pei Yi said, "No."

"Why?" Shen Jiahe frowned and said, "Jiaze is twenty-four this year, already past the marriageable age."

Pei Yi asked without answering, "Do you still remember the attendant named Zhu Yulou next to Ye Jiaze?"

Shen Jiahe vaguely remembered that there was such a person, but his face was already blurred.

Before he could answer, Pei Yi said, "Ye Jiaze and Zhu Yulou are just like you and me, they are lovers who share their hearts."

Shen Jiahe was startled for a moment, then sadly said: "As long as he feels happy."

Pei Yi smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to be such an open-minded brother."

Shen Jiahe ignored his teasing, didn't have anything to say to him, and said: "It's getting late, go to sleep."

Pei Yi said: "Before you go to bed, tell me how you plan to introduce me to others tomorrow, so that I can know how to cooperate with you."

Shen Jiahe almost forgot about this.

Pei Yi lived in Baitou Village for a while back then, maybe some villagers still remember him.

What kind of identity is suitable for him?

Pei Yi came up with an idea from the side: "Just say that I am your cousin, whose family is in trouble, and come to join you, how about that?"

Shen Jiahe thought about it, felt it was feasible, nodded, and said, "But you can't use your real name anymore."

Pei Yi said: "Few people know my name, so let's replace my name with my name."

Shen Jiahe said: "Alright."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "Honey, call 'cousin' to listen."

Shen Jiahe didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned over and closed his eyes.

Pei Yi passed one hand under his neck, let him rest on his arm, wrapped his arm around his waist, held his hand, and said with a low laugh, "Cousin will love you very much."

Because she forgot to tell Shao Yuan that she was going to town today, Shen Jiahe got up early, and Pei Yi got up with him.

Shen Jiahe slept peacefully, but Pei Yi stayed up all night.He was really reluctant to close his eyes, and stared at the person in his arms all night.But still feel not enough.When he woke up, he didn't feel sleepy at all, but was full of energy, as if he had taken a Shiquan Dabu pill.

Shen Jiahe went to the study to have a look. Ji Nianxu was still sleeping, so he let him sleep, and told Pei Yi not to make noise, and said: "Go and watch at the door, if brother Shao passes by, let him wait for me for a while."

Pei Yi said, "What are you looking for him for?"

Shen Jiahe said: "I want to take brother Shao's carriage to the town."

Pei Yi nodded, and obediently went to guard the door.

The heavy snow that had been falling all day and all night had stopped.

The sun came out from the east, and the golden light sprinkled on the white snow was very dazzling.

Pei Yi leaned against the door frame, watching Shen Jiahe busy in the kitchen with a smile on his lips.

He has never realized more clearly than at this moment that a place with Shen Jiahe is home, and a life with Shen Jiahe by his side is truly alive.

He never regretted it more than at this moment, he treated Shen Jiahe so badly in the past, and wasted a lot of good times for nothing.Fortunately, it's not too late, he will spend the rest of his life trying his best to treat Shen Jiahe well, to make up for the bad things he did before.

The sound of hoofs came.

Pei Yi followed the sound and saw Shao Yuan coming by car.

Shao Yuan also saw him.Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of Shen Jiahe's gate. Shao Yuan stared at Pei Yi and said, "Who are you?"

Pei Yi calmed down and said, "I am Jiahe's cousin."

Shao Yuan got out of the car, walked up to Pei Yi, frowned and said, "I've never heard Jiahe mention that he has a cousin."

Pei Yi curled her lips into a smile, and said, "Just because he didn't mention it doesn't mean he didn't."

Shao Yuan glanced at the door and said, "Where is Jiahe?"

Pei Yi said, "I'm making breakfast. Go in, he has business with you."

When Shen Jiahe heard the voice, he guessed that it was Shao Yuan, and hurriedly wiped his hands and went out, seeing Shao Yuan coming in.

"Brother Shao, I forgot to tell you last night, I'm going to town today." Shen Jiahe said, "You must not have breakfast yet? I'm working on it, it will be ready soon, we ate together Let's go after breakfast."

Shao Yuan turned his head and glanced at Pei Yi who was still standing at the door, and said, "He said he was your cousin."

Shen Jiahe also glanced at Pei Yi, and said, "Yes, my cousin is named Pei. You may not remember him, but he lived here for a while before. Also, Nian Nian is back."

Just as he was talking, Ji Nianxu came out of the room, Shao Yuan looked at him and said in disbelief: "You are...Niannian?"

Ji Nianxu walked to Shen Jiahe's side and said, "Yes, I am Ji Nianxu."

Shao Yuan stared at him for a while, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "You were only four or five years old when you left, and you've grown into a young man in the blink of an eye." He paused, and said, "You really look like your father. .”

Ji Nianxu no longer remembered him, and Shen Jiahe reminded him: "You should call Uncle Shao."

Ji Nianxu obediently called "Uncle Shao".

Shen Jiahe was still cooking, and hurriedly said: "You guys go into the room and chat, I will cook, it will be ready soon."

Shao Yuan entered the house with Ji Nianxu, Pei Yi followed after him, and Shen Jiahe went to the kitchen by himself.

After taking his seat, Shao Yuan asked, "Nian Nian, how have you lived these years?"

Ji Nianxu didn't know how to answer, so he turned to look at Pei Yi.

Pei Yi understood, and said: "I raised him, so I raised him well, right?"

Inexplicably, Shao Yuan didn't like the man in front of him, so he didn't talk to him, but still said to Ji Nianxu: "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Pei Yi said: "Our Pei family fell for some reason, so I brought him to join Jiahe."

Ji Nianxu echoed with a dry smile: "That's right."

Shao Yuan looked at Pei Yi, and said coldly: "Jiahe didn't see you when he was lonely, but now that his life is better, you come to seek refuge. You really know how to choose the time."

Pei Yi looked at him with a faint smile, and said, "Who are you to him to fight for him like this?"

Shao Yuan said coldly: "I am his friend."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "Since he is Jiahe's friend, he is also my friend. I, together with Niannian, will live here after that, and I will rely on Brother Shao to take care of me."

Shao Yuan glanced at him, didn't respond, got up and went to the kitchen.

Ji Nianxu moved closer to Pei Yi and said in a low voice, "Daddy Pei, this Uncle Shao doesn't seem to like you very much."

Pei Yi said, "I don't like him very much either."

Ji Nianxu asked, "Rival in love?"

Pei Yi snorted coldly and said, "He's not qualified to be my rival in love."

After breakfast, Shao Yuan drove the three of them to the town.

Looking at the scenery outside the car, Ji Nianxu recalled the scene when he was a child, and felt that everything was both strange and familiar.

When they arrived in the town, the three got off the car, and Shao Yuan went to the pawnshop by himself.

Because it is not a market day, the town is a little deserted, but there are not many shops open.

There are too many things to buy: beds, quilts, cotton-padded clothes, cotton shoes, cups, plates, bowls, fish and vegetables... Shen Jiahe was a little worried for a while, not knowing where to start, hesitating, Pei Yi grabbed his hand Hand said: "Come with me."

Shen Jiahe hurriedly broke away, cast a glance at him, and said: "The public, don't move your hands, it's not good for others to see."

Pei Yi has always gone his own way and never looked at people, but now it's different from the past, it's time for him to learn to restrain himself.Silently withdrew his hand, Pei Yi said: "In my opinion, we should go to a carriage and horse dealer to buy a carriage first, so that we don't have to rub other people's carriages from now on."

Shen Jiahe also thought about buying a carriage so he wouldn't have to bother Shao Yuan all the time, but the problem was that he didn't know how to drive, maybe he didn't have the talent for it, he learned it several times without success, and was almost injured once. Yuan was determined not to teach him any more, so he had no choice but to brazenly rub Shao Yuan's carriage.With Pei Yi now, Shen Jiahe felt that it was time to buy a carriage, so he nodded in agreement.

Pei Yi happily led Shen Jiahe and Ji Nianxu to the direction of the carriage.

Shen Jiahe asked curiously, "How do you know where the carriages and horses are?"

Pei Yi smiled and said, "I am more familiar with Baitou Town than you can imagine."

Ji Nianxu whispered in Shen Jiahe's ear: "Since Daddy Pei found you last fall, he has been going out of the palace to see you every ten days and a half months. This fall, he even brought back a big basket of dates for me , Said it was the jujube tree in our yard. "

Shen Jiahe looked up at Pei Yi's back, feeling all sorts of feelings in his heart.

When it came to the carriage and horse dealership, Pei Yi was the one who picked the cart and the horse.

When the carriage was about to be handed over to Pei Yi with the complete equipment, he took out a bank note and stuffed it into the clerk's hand, saying, "You don't need to look for it, the rest will be rewarded to you."

The clerk was overjoyed, bowed again and again, and said, "Thank you for your reward! Thank you for your reward!"

After getting out of the car dealership, Shen Jiahe said: "In the future, don't be extravagant, you still have to find the money you need."

Pei Yi curled her lips and said, "Oh. Where shall we go next?"

Shen Jiahe thought for a while and said, "Go to the carpenter's shop and order a bed for Niannian."

"Okay." Pei Yi said, "Get in the car."

Ji Nianxu said: "Daddy Pei, let me drive the car and try it out."

Pei Yi was about to agree, when Shen Jiahe said, "You don't know the way, so let him drive."

Ji Nianxu nodded, and got into the car with Shen Jiahe.

When I arrived at the carpenter's shop, I ordered a wooden bed and left my address. The shopkeeper said that it would be delivered to my home in the afternoon.

Then I went to buy other things, and I didn't buy them all until noon, and the carriage was almost full.

After having lunch at the restaurant, we drove home.Shen Jiahe stopped by the pawn shop and told Shao Yuan about buying a carriage. Shao Yuan didn't say anything, but Shen Jiahe could tell that he was a little unhappy.Shen Jiahe said: "Brother Shao, after getting along for a long time, you will know that my cousin is not a bad person, but his words are not pleasant."

Shao Yuan was silent for a moment, and said: "Anyway, it is necessary to be on guard against others, you should be careful about him."

Shen Jiahe said: "Well, I will, don't worry."

Shao Yuan said: "If he dares to bully you, tell me, I will definitely beat him to the ground."

Shen Jiahe laughed and said, "Okay."

After leaving the pawnshop, Pei Yi said with an unhappy face, "Why have you been talking for so long?"

Shen Jiahe said: "Don't exaggerate, it's just a few words."

Pei Yi stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said with a smile, "Am I exaggerating?"

Shen Jiahe went into the carriage and ignored him.

When they got home, they started to tidy up the study.

Moving east and west, cleaning meticulously, is a lot of work.

As soon as it was packed, the bed was delivered.

Because the door was too narrow, it took a lot of effort to move the bed into the house, but it was finally moved in.

While Pei Yi and the others were resting, Shen Jiahe made the bed and looked around, feeling very satisfied. Seeing Ji Nianxu walking in, he said, "Do you think there is anything else missing?"

Ji Nianxu looked around and said: "There is nothing missing, very good."

Shen Jiahe smiled and said, "I feel like something is missing."

Ji Nianxu asked, "What's missing?"

Shen Jiahe pulled him to sit down by the bed, and said, "There is a mistress missing."

Ji Nianxu might as well let him talk about this, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Jiahe was particularly worried that Ji Nianxu would be influenced by him and Pei Yi, and would have some wrong ideas about marriage. He sincerely hoped that Ji Nianxu could marry a wife and have children, and live an ordinary life like ordinary people .

Shen Jiahe hesitated for a moment, and asked directly: "Nian Nian, you like women, right?"

Ji Nianxu nodded slightly.

Shen Jiahe only felt a big stone in his heart fall to the ground, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Don't be shy, tell me what you like, so I can ask someone to tell you about kissing."

Ji Nianxu whispered: "I don't know what kind of one I like, it depends on fate."

Shen Jiahe said: "Has there never been a woman who made your heart flutter before?"

Ji Nianxu shook his head.

"It's okay, just look for it slowly, don't worry." Shen Jiahe said with a smile: "We Nian Nian was born so handsome, we don't have to worry about not finding a good girl."

Ji Nianxu said with a blushing face: "Father Shen, don't make fun of me."

While talking, Shen Jiahe heard Du Yuee calling him outside, so they went out together with Nian Nian.

"Sister Yue'e," Shen Jiahe said, "This is Nian Nian, do you remember him?"

Du Yue'e looked at Ji Nianxu and said with a smile: "Of course I remember. I just heard Shao Yuan say that Nian Nian is back and I still didn't believe it, but now I see the real person and I believe it. He and his father are almost carved out of the same mold. Nian Nian, do you remember me?"

Ji Nianxu shook his head embarrassedly.

Du Yuee smiled and said, "Although I really want you to call me sister, but according to your seniority, you have to call me aunt."

Ji Nianxu obediently called "Auntie".

Du Yuee agreed with a smile, turned to Shen Jiahe, and said, "Didn't you say your cousin is here too, why didn't you see anyone?"

Shen Jiahe was about to answer when he saw Pei Yi coming in from outside and said with a smile, "His cousin is here."

Du Yuee looked back, stared at Pei Yi for a while, and said happily, "I remember you! You lived with Jiahe in Ji's house back then, right?"

Pei Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I have a pretty good memory."

Du Yue'e said: "Are you Jiahe's cousin?"

Pei Yi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Du Yue'e said, "What's your name?"

Pei Yi said, "Pei Zijuan."

Du Yuee said: "My name is Du Yuee."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "I know."

Du Yuee asked strangely: "How do you know?"

Pei Yi said: "Jiahe told me that you helped him a lot, and he is very grateful to you."

Du Yue'e smiled and said: "I didn't help him with anything, but he helped me a lot. Without him, I wouldn't be able to live any longer."

Du Yuee was telling the truth.

In the past, she was an old girl who couldn't get married and was a burden to the family. Her parents worried about her and complained often, which made her miserable.

Now, with the help of Shen Jiahe, she has become the pillar of the family. Her parents and younger brother all depend on her. She has finally lived a life of her own.

Therefore, she was very grateful to Shen Jiahe.Without Shen Jiahe, she would not be who she is today.

After talking for a while, Du Yue'e left.

It was already dark, Shen Jiahe started to prepare dinner.

This should be regarded as their family's first reunion dinner, so Shen Jiahe prepared extraordinarily well.He couldn't do it alone, so Pei Yi and Ji Nianxu came to help together, and it took him an hour to get it done.

Eight dishes are put on the table, with a combination of meat and vegetables, full of color, fragrance, and extremely attractive.

"Let's open a restaurant tomorrow," Pei Yi said seriously, "Business must be booming."

Shen Jiahe specially bought two jugs of wine today, he felt that there should be wine on such a day.The wine is mulberry wine, which is well-known far and wide. It is not as spicy as ordinary wine, but sweet, and has the effect of nourishing blood and strengthening the body. Almost every household has several jars, especially good to drink in winter.

Ji Nianxu took the initiative to take the wine jar and poured a glass each.The wine is red and attractive in color.

Pei Yi raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our family reunion!"

Ji Nianxu and Shen Jiahe held up the wine glasses together, the three wine glasses touched each other lightly, and then each drained it.

The wine enters the throat and intestines, sweet and a little spicy, tastes good.Then he ate and drank, and the jar of wine bottomed out before he knew it.

After so many years, Shen Jiahe was still overwhelmed with alcohol, dizzy and unsteady.

Without further ado, Pei Yi hugged him to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and said, "Go to sleep for a while, and Niannian and I will take care of it."

Shen Jiahe nodded, already drowsy.

Pei Yi bowed her head and kissed his bright red lips, then turned around and left.

Two people who have never touched the spring water with their fingers, are in a hurry to do housework, breaking a plate and a bowl in a while, it can be described as thrilling.When everything was tidied up, the two let out a sigh of relief at the same time, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Shen Jiahe was sleeping soundly.

Pei Yi took off his clothes lightly, climbed onto the bed, got under the covers, and hugged him into his arms.

Shen Jiahe moved and muttered something in a low voice, but Pei Yi didn't hear clearly.

Pei Yi kissed his neck and whispered, "Remember to dream about me."

At breakfast the next day, Pei Yi said, "I plan to build a few more houses and make them into courtyard houses. What do you think?"

Shen Jiahe thought for a while, and said: "When Nian Nian gets married, we are not suitable to live in the same house, we should build a few more houses."

Pei Yi said: "Then I will start to do it."

Pei Yi acted resolutely, and drove to the town after breakfast.

Shen Jiahe took Ji Nianxu to visit Ji Chang and Xu Xiuxin's graves.

Ji Nianxu knelt in front of the snow-covered grave, weeping.

"Father, mother, my son has come to see you." He kowtowed his head three times in a row before standing up straight, looking at the tombstone, and said in a choked voice, "My son is not filial. , truly ashamed to be the Son of Man..."

Shen Jiahe stood beside him, supported his shoulders, smiled with tears, and said: "Brother and sister-in-law, when I visited you last time, I was still thinking about seeing Nian Nian, but I didn't expect my wish to come true so soon. You see, Niannian has grown up and looks so good, your spirits in heaven should feel gratified. Next, I will find a good wife for Niannian, and try to bring my grandson to see you next year."

Ji Nianxu knelt in front of the grave for a long time before being pulled up by Shen Jiahe.

They walked back through the snow.Shen Jiahe was silent for a long time, and said: "I have never asked you, how have you been doing these years?"

Ji Nianxu smiled and said: "I am living a good life, rich and well-fed, rich and prosperous."

Shen Jiahe was silent again, and after a while, he said, "Did you ever blame me for leaving you behind?"

Ji Nianxu shook his head and said, "I never blamed you, I just miss you very much."

Shen Jiahe was comforted in his heart, and he didn't intend to explain anything, he just held his hand as he did when he was a child, and said softly: "That's good." After a pause, he asked again: "Is Shen Luoyu okay?"

Ji Nianxu said: "When Daddy Pei was there, she was the queen, the adoptive mother of the prince, and no one could match her honor and favor. Now that Daddy Pei is gone, the prince succeeds to the throne. She is the empress dowager. The most honorable woman, how could she be bad."

She finally got everything she wanted.

Shen Jiahe felt admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"What about Yunqing?" Shen Jiahe said again, "And Jing Wu, how are they?"

Ji Nianxu said: "Uncle Jing is now the commander of the imperial army, he holds an important position, and he has already married a wife and had a son. His son is Jingtai, who should be eight years old this year. Uncle Yun has been with flowers and plants for more than ten years like a day. Don't ask common things, I have never seen a more leisurely person than him."

The appearance of Yun Qing in his mind was already somewhat blurred, only those eyes were still clear, they were the clearest eyes he had ever seen, just like Yun Qing, without a speck of dust.

"Is he married?" Shen Jiahe asked, although he vaguely had the answer in his heart.

"No," Ji Nianxu said, "but I know that Uncle Yun has someone hidden in his heart."

Shen Jiahe suddenly remembered that a long, long time ago, he asked Yun Qing if he had someone he liked, and Yun Qing said yes, but refused to tell him who that person was, so he never knew.He couldn't help asking: "Then do you know who that person is?"

Ji Nianxu glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't know."

Shen Jiahe stopped asking, and started talking about other things.

"What are your plans for the future?" Shen Jiahe asked.

Ji Nianxu said: "Before I was in the palace, I was always muddleheaded, passing by, never thinking about the future, and now I have escaped from birth, but I haven't had time to think about how to live in the future."

Shen Jiahe said: "One must do what one likes to be happy."

Ji Nianxu nodded and said, "Well, I remember."

Shen Jiahe said: "No matter what you want to do in the future, I will always support you."

Ji Nianxu said: "Thank you, Daddy Shen."

When the two returned home, Pei Yi had already returned from the town and was showing around with two strangers, presumably the builders of the house.

Shen Jiahe didn't interfere, and went back to the room alone, reading and writing as before.

After turning two pages, Pei Yi came in and said, "The next one or two months may be very noisy, why don't we stay in the inn in the town for a while?"

Shen Jiahe said: "If you want to go, go, I won't go."

"I won't go if you don't." Pei Yi leaned on the table and said, "What book are you reading?"

Shen Jiahe said: ""Food Treasures Record"."

"No wonder your cooking skills are so superb now, and the imperial chef is not as delicious as yours." Pei Yi paused, and said, "By the way, please invite Du Yue'e and Shao Yuan to have dinner at home tonight."

Shen Jiahe looked at him suspiciously, and said, "What do you want to do?"

"Look at you, you always think of me as bad." Pei Yi said, "I just want to treat the two of them to dinner and thank them for taking care of you these past few years. Isn't that okay?"

Shen Jiahe was dubious, and said, "That's all?"

Pei Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Otherwise, what else can I do?"

Shen Jiahe thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason, so he said: "Well, it happens that there is wine and food at home to entertain guests."

Pei Yi said: "It's good to eat vegetables, but the wine is free."

Shen Jiahe asked confused: "Why?"

Pei Yi approached him, smiled, and said, "Because your drunken appearance is too confusing, and I don't want others to see you." After speaking, he quickly kissed Shen Jiahe, got up and walked out, shouting: "Son, Go run for me!"

In the evening, Shen Jiahe prepared a table of good dishes early, waiting for the guests to come.

Du Yuee and Shao Yuan entered the door one after another, Shen Jiahe greeted them to sit down, Du Yuee smiled and said, "Why did you suddenly think of inviting us to dinner?"

Shen Jiahe smiled and said, "It was my cousin's idea."

"That's right," Pei Yi said, "In the past few years when I was away, Jiahe was able to live so well thanks to your care. I am very grateful, so I thought of inviting you two to have a meal and express my gratitude. "

Du Yue'e said: "We live in the same village, we should take care of each other, you really don't have to be so polite."

Shao Yuan was still indifferent, he really couldn't like this cousin who appeared out of nowhere, he just thought he was a hypocrite and disgusted.

After a few polite words, he began to move his chopsticks.

When it was almost time to eat, Pei Yi said casually, "Has Brother Shao married?"

In front of Shen Jiahe, Shao Yuan didn't want to embarrass Pei Yi, so he said patiently, "No."

Pei Yi then continued: "I see Brother Shao is older than me by how many years, he should be in his thirties, right?"

Shao Yuan gave an indifferent "hmm".

His displeasure has been so obvious that everyone present can feel it.

Shen Jiahe tugged at Pei Yi's sleeve under the table, signaling him not to say any more, but Pei Yi said to himself: "Brother Shao is already very old, why don't you get married?"

Shao Yuan said coldly: "What does this have to do with you?"

Pei Yi smiled and said, "I don't care about you, why are you so angry?"

Shao Yuan said: "I have my own plans, and you don't need to care about them."

Pei Yi shrugged, and said indifferently, "Okay." He ate his food, then turned to Du Yue'e, and asked the same question: "Has Miss Yue'e ever married?"

This is tantamount to adding salt to a person's wounds.

Shen Jiahe was annoyed and twisted Pei Yi's thigh hard.

Pei Yi screamed in pain, and said with an aggrieved face, "Why are you twisting my leg?"

Shen Jiahe laughed dryly, and said, "Eat more vegetables and less talk, otherwise the dishes will be cold."

Du Yue'e said with a smile: "Jiahe, it's okay, just chatting and getting to know each other better." She turned to Pei Yi, still smiling and said: "I'm born ugly, no one wants to marry, so I'm not married yet."

Pei Yi looked at Shao Yuan and said, "Brother Shao, do you think Sister Yue'e is ugly?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Jiahe immediately understood what Pei Yi wanted to do.

Shao Yuan raised his head and saw several pairs of eyes staring at him. His heart tightened. He hurriedly exchanged a glance with Du Yuee, then lowered his head again, and said, "I have never had any concept of beauty and ugliness. I think she was born on par with others." No difference."

Pei Yi went on to say, "Since you don't dislike her for being ugly, and the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, why don't you two form a couple and make everyone happy?"

Du Yue'e blushed suddenly, and silently lowered her head.

In fact, from the beginning of autumn, Shen Jiahe felt that there was something unusual between the two of them. He had a faint guess, so he observed carefully, but he didn't see anything, he thought it was because he was thinking too much.He also had the idea of ​​matching the two, but both of them are people with strong self-esteem. If they become successful, they will naturally be happy. If they fail, they may not even be friends in the future. take actions.He didn't know whether Pei Yi's current actions were intentional or intentional, but no matter what, Shen Jiahe would be very happy if this matter could be accomplished.

However, the long silence let Shen Jiahe know that this matter should be hopeless.

He was about to say something to break the stiff atmosphere, when he suddenly heard Du Yuee whisper: "Shao Yuan, I am willing to marry you, are you willing to marry me?"

Shao Yuan looked at Du Yue'e in surprise, Du Yue'e smiled at him, and said: "I want to marry you, not because I am an old girl who can't get married, so I just want to find someone to marry, but because... because I see you from the bottom of my heart, and I am willing to entrust the rest of my life to you. If you don't like me, tell me clearly, so that you can teach me to stop thinking about me and be me in a down-to-earth manner. My old lady. If you like me, I will let your mother go to my house to propose marriage tomorrow. I don’t want you. I just want you to marry me back when you lift the sedan chair.
