After wearing a book, he became the emperor's rival in love

After the two met Ping Xihou, Pei Siyuan took Yu Zhou to the residence.

Although Pei Siyuan didn't come to the Hou's mansion often, as the only relative of Pingxihou in the capital, he had a residence in the Hou's mansion.

Ping Xihou probably expected that Pei Siyuan would come to celebrate his birthday, so he ordered someone to clean his residence in advance.

The two rested in the small courtyard for a while, and had lunch again.

Yu Zhou felt sleepy after dinner, so he took a nap again.

This time it was already June, and the weather was a little bit hot in the afternoon, so Pei Siyuan waited until the weather was a little cooler in the afternoon before going out with Yu Zhou, intending to go around.

"Did you live here when you were young?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I lived here for a while when I was ten years old." Pei Siyuan said, "My uncle is a general and taught me martial arts."

Yu Zhou looked at Pei Siyuan and asked curiously, "What does your family do?"

"My family is rich in business." Pei Siyuan said with a smile.

Yu Zhou thought to himself, it turns out that Pei Siyuan is a rich second generation, no wonder he is so generous, spends money like water, and there are year-round VIPs everywhere in the capital.

"My father originally wanted to take me into business, but I have no interest in those things. In addition, I was naughty when I was young, so he didn't have time to discipline me, so he threw me to my uncle." Pei Siyuan said: "Later I After staying in the capital for a few years, I have been with His Majesty all the time."

Yu Zhou thought for a while and asked, "In this case, shouldn't your relationship with Lord Hou be very close?"

"Not really." Pei Siyuan said: "My uncle always wants to restrain me, but he can't help me with my temperament. After a long time, I will be born. Especially after I entered the palace, I only come here every year to invite someone during the holidays. install."

This Yu Zhou could tell, Ping Xihou looked very close to Pei Siyuan, but Pei Siyuan always showed a little resistance to his uncle for some reason.Even though this kind of resistance is hidden by him under the obstinate appearance, if he has the heart, he can still find clues.

Yu Zhou probably wouldn't have noticed it in the past, but now he is getting closer to Pei Siyuan and knows him much better than before.

While the two were talking, Yu Zhou's stomach growled.

Pei Siyuan laughed and said, "It's not dark yet, are you hungry again?"

"It's okay." Yu Zhou rubbed his stomach in embarrassment.

With a helpless expression on his face, Pei Siyuan turned a corner and took him to the kitchen to make a snack and put it in his hand.

"Take you to a fun place." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou didn't know why, so he followed him while eating snacks, and arrived at a pond behind him.

"Your uncle's house is too big, and there is such a big pond." Yu Zhou was surprised.

Now it's June, and the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming sporadically, which looks quite beautiful.

Yu Zhou looked around and saw a wooden bridge connected to the middle of the pond. The wooden bridge crossed half of the pond and connected to a small building in the middle of the lake.The small building looked two or three storeys high, but it was actually built in the heart of the lake.

"Come on, I'll take you to see the treasures in my uncle's collection." Pei Si said far away.

Yu Zhou just remembered that when they came, the concierge seemed to have said that the reason why Pingxihou celebrated his birthday this time was because he got some interesting collection, and wanted to take the opportunity to share it. I think this small building is where Pingxihou collects treasures place.

Yu Zhou followed Pei Siyuan up the wooden bridge, looked into the pond next to him, and stopped for a while.

"Is this bridge strong?" Yu Zhou asked.

"The pond is not deep, and I can fish it up for you if you fall in it." Pei Siyuan laughed.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to grab Yu Zhou's wrist, and led him towards the small building in the middle of the lake.

Although the wooden bridge creaked and creaked, it was quite strong, and it didn't shake much when walking.

Because in the small building in the middle of the lake are the treasures collected by Ping Xihou over the years, there are guards outside the small building all the year round.

"My lord, Master Hou has ordered that the building has not been tidied up yet, and no one can come in until the birthday banquet..." The guard clasped his fist at Pei Siyuan.

"En." Pei Siyuan responded perfunctorily, pulled Yu Zhou, and swaggered around the guards towards the small building.

"Young Master, Young Master!" The guards didn't dare to stop him when they saw this, they could only look at each other, and finally gave up.

Yu Zhou followed Pei Siyuan into the small building, and asked, "Isn't it good to barge in like this?"

"Indeed." Pei Siyuan said: "But I'm not a gentleman in the first place. If my uncle really wants to stop me, there should be a lock here."

As he said, he pointed to the door lock, there was nothing there, Pei Siyuan pushed forward, and the door creaked open.

Probably to welcome the birthday banquet two days later, this place has obviously just been cleaned, and the inside looks quite clean.

Yu Zhou went in and looked up, and found that the design of this small building was very unique. It looked like a small building with two or three floors from the outside, but there was only one floor inside, but the space was raised very high.At first glance, this small building looks a bit like a tower-shaped building. The center of the room is empty, and the surrounding walls are filled with wooden frames, and all kinds of strange things are placed in transparent glazed boxes.

"He doesn't like these jade beads the most. They are placed at the door, meaning whoever likes them will take them away." Pei Siyuan casually took a piece of blood jade and threw it into Yu Zhou's hand. Yu Zhou hurriedly caught it, frightened. A cold sweat broke out.

"Be careful!" Yu Zhou carefully put the piece of jade back.

Pei Siyuan looked at him with a smile, and said, "These things are really meaningless."

As he spoke, he took Yu Zhou and walked a few steps in, his eyes wandered around in these colored glass boxes, as if he was looking for something.

"What is this?" Yu Zhou walked to the innermost wooden frame and asked, looking at the things on it.

The thing looked no bigger than a palm, and looked like a large piece of amber on the outside, but the things inside were wrapped up, making it hard to see clearly.

"This thing is placed in the bottom, it should be quite valuable." Pei Siyuan said as he was about to reach out for it.

Yu Zhou quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Look carefully, it's broken."

Seeing his nervous look, Pei Siyuan withdrew his hand.

"Master Hou's new treasure can't be this?" Yu Zhou asked.

"It doesn't look like it, it's not very interesting." Pei Siyuan looked around the house again, but found nothing new.

Yu Zhou walked through the outer hall and took a look in, and saw there was a staircase, which should lead to the roof.

Pei Siyuan followed his gaze and said, "You can go up here. I used to sneak up to look at the stars the night before."

After saying that, Pei Siyuan dragged Yu Zhou up the stairs, but to their surprise, the roof was not empty, there was someone on it.

The man was dressed in white and sat on the roof, with a wooden stand in front of him and a Guqin on it.

When Yu Zhou followed Pei Siyuan up, he was wiping the body of the piano carefully with a cloth towel in his hand.

"You... hello." Yu Zhou greeted the man awkwardly.

The other party gave him a faint smile, and replied, "Hello."

"If I'm not mistaken, this violin belongs to the previous court, right?" Pei Siyuan said.

"Deputy Commander Pei has a good eye." The man said, "Master Hou took a lot of effort to get this Qin back this time."

When he was talking, his eyes kept falling on the guqin, and the movement of wiping his hands didn't stop, looking very focused.

"You know me?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Deputy Commander Pei has some similarities with Master Hou's brows, so it's not hard to recognize them," said the man.

Pei Siyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but said nothing more.

"Are you a luthier?" Yu Zhou asked curiously.

"En." The man nodded and said, "At the birthday banquet, I will play this piano for the guests."

Pei Siyuan looked at the violinist for a few moments, and said, "My uncle never liked rhythm, but this time he likes to listen to people playing the piano. It's interesting."

"People will change. Master Hou didn't love him before, but he may not love him now." The luthier said indifferently: "Vice Commander Pei must have been separated from Master Hou for a long time, but he doesn't even pay much attention to Master Hou's recent preferences. "

Yu Zhou looked at the qin master's hands from the side, and saw that his fingers were fair and slender, which seemed to be suitable for playing the qin.

"Young master, do you like listening to the piano?" The luthier noticed his gaze and asked.

"I don't know much about these things, I just read them casually." Yu Zhou said hastily.

"It's okay, since we are destined to meet you today, let me play a song for you." The luthier said.

Yu Zhou was flattered when he heard the words, and quickly thanked him.

Seeing that the luthier put away the cloth towel in his hand, after pondering for a while, he dropped his fingers and began to play.

Yu Zhou didn't know the rhythm, and he was even more unfamiliar with the guqin, but he could probably tell that this piece gave people a very relaxed and comfortable feeling.If the melody matches the state of mind of the player who plays the qin, then Yu Zhou reckons that the state of mind of the qin player should be quite open-minded.

At the end of the song, the luthier raised his eyes and smiled at Yu Zhou, and asked, "How does it sound, young master?"

"It sounds good." Yu Zhou clapped his hands, and said palely, "The lingering sound lingers..."

After he said that, seeing that the luthier was still staring at him, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

Then he looked down at the half-pack of snacks left in his hand, and tentatively asked the luthier, "Do you want to try it?"

Seeing that the other party didn't deny it, Yu Zhou passed the snack in front of him, and the luthier really picked up a piece.

"Thank you." The luthier held the piece of snack in his hand, smiled at Yu Zhou again, and said, "It's going to be night, and it's cold by the pool in summer night, and the young master caught the wind and cold carefully, so let's go back as soon as possible."

Yu Zhou nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, hesitated for a moment, wrapped up the remaining snacks in his hand, and put them beside the luthier.

"You are quite generous." Pei Siyuan said after coming out of the small building.

"I figured he was hungry, so he kept staring at my snacks," Yu Zhou said.

When Pei Siyuan heard the words, he turned his head and glanced at the direction of the small building again, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes.

The two left the small building and returned to the shore, where they met the servant who came to invite them to have dinner.

"Tell your Lord Hou that we can eat it ourselves." Pei Siyuan said.

"Master Hou is waiting for Young Master and Yu Sheren." The servant said hurriedly.

Pei Siyuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he did not refuse, and led Yu Zhou to follow behind the servant who sent the message.

In the dining room, the food is already set.

Ping Xihou was sitting at the table waiting for the two of them.

Yu Zhou didn't feel anything during the day, but now seeing Ping Xihou sitting alone at such a big table, he felt a little sympathy for him, secretly thinking that he didn't even have any relatives by his middle-aged side, It's not easy.

"Sneaked to the center of the lake?" Ping Xihou asked Pei Siyuan.

"Didn't uncle say that we are a family? How can I be called a thief at home?" Pei Siyuan said.

Ping Xihou couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are fighting for three points unreasonably, why did you see my baby today?"

"I don't see anything unusual." Pei Siyuan said.

With a smile in his eyes, Ping Xihou asked Yu Zhou, "Where is Yu Sheren? Do you like it?"

"We heard that luthier play a piece, it's very nice." Yu Zhou said hastily.

"I originally planned to let him play at the birthday banquet, but I didn't expect you to listen to it first." Ping Xihou said with a smile, and he asked Yu Zhou: "It's the first time for Yu Sheren to come here, do you have something fancy? ?”

Yu Zhou was taken aback when he heard the words, and thought to himself, I like you and you still plan to send me?

Before he could open his mouth, he heard Pei Siyuan say, "He's taken a fancy to that piece of amber inside you."

"Hahaha." Ping Xihou said with a smile: "Yu Sheren really has a good eye. I just got that thing last year and I like it. But Yu Sheren rarely likes it. When you leave later, I will have someone wrap it up and give it to you. yes."

"No, no, no..." Yu Zhou hastily declined and said, "Your junior doesn't understand these things, so just take a look, and don't dare to accept it. It would be a waste to put such a good thing in my hands."

"You don't have to be polite with me." Ping Xihou said: "Si Yuan and I have the same affection as father and son. Since you are his friend, you can treat this place as your own home."

As he spoke, he motioned to the servants on the side to serve vegetables for everyone.

Although Yu Zhou ate some snacks, he was already hungry again.

Seeing both Ping Xihou and Pei Ye moving their chopsticks, he buried his head and began to eat.

"This fish is not bad, Yu Sheren should try it." Ping Xihou signaled his servant to bring a piece of fish to Yu Zhou.

Yu Zhou thanked him, and as soon as he picked up the fish in the bowl, he smelled a strong fishy smell.

Immediately, his stomach churned and he retched uncontrollably.

Pei Siyuan hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and helped him to follow his back with one hand.

Yu Zhou was so embarrassed that he waved his hand at him and apologized to Ping Xihou.

"What's wrong with Yu Sheren?" Ping Xihou asked with concern, "Is the food not to your liking?"

"No, it's my old problem..." Yu Zhou said guiltily.

Ping Xihou glanced at the fish in Yu Zhou's bowl, and hurriedly said: "It must be that the fish is not cooked well, the smell of fish is too strong, it should be removed quickly."

"No need." Pei Siyuan glanced at the fish, then helped Yu Zhou up and said, "He probably won't be able to eat it right now, I'll take him back to rest first."

Ping Xihou hurriedly said: "Alright, just tell them to do whatever is needed."

Pei Siyuan responded, and took Yu Zhou out of the dining room.

After such a toss, Yu Zhou turned pale and looked pitiful.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"It's much better." Yu Zhou said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it. I don't know why that fish is so fishy. I can't control my stomach when I smell it..."

"Don't blame yourself, you didn't spit it into his bowl." Pei Siyuan said, "Who made the cook in his house so bad that he can't even cook a fish well."

Yu Zhou was a little helpless, he didn't understand why Pei Siyuan lost his temper so well.

He felt a little bit sorry, secretly thinking that Ping Xihou finally reunited with Pei Siyuan because he couldn't even eat a meal.But seeing Pei Siyuan's attitude, Yu Zhou didn't dare to persuade him to let him go back, lest Pei Siyuan lose his temper again.

The author has something to say:

I'm sorry, my stomach hurts during my period, it's too uncomfortable, so I only have one update tonight, and I'll make up every day tomorrow~
