Scumbag Training Manual

Chapter 174
There was a teahouse by the street, Pei Jing saw that Chen Miao was really tired, so he took her into the teahouse.

I ordered two cups of tea, two smaller ones, and the two of them sat and took a nap.

Pei Jing took a sip of tea and said with a light smile: "Actually, the capital city is really nice, prosperous and rich. No wonder the second brother wants to stay here."

Seeing that he was finally willing to take the initiative to talk about Pei Xin, Chen Miao asked, "What was the reason for the quarrel just now? He's still young, so just guide him slowly."

Pei Jing said: "Yes, I was too demanding. I think I was not as good as him when I was his age. At that time, I only knew about drinking, gambling, and fighting. Xin'er is now a student. Next year I'm going to take the examination of Juren."

Chen Miao smiled and said: "You are brothers, how can there be any overnight feud, next time I see him, I will just talk about it."

Pei Jing took a sip of tea silently, and said softly: "Actually, I don't disapprove of him living in the capital city. The capital city is a good place, with outstanding people, and it's at the foot of the emperor. It's no wonder he wants to stay. After all, he is in Taizhou now." Studying, classmates and friends are either rich or expensive, now that they have made friends with each other, it will be of great benefit to his career in the future."

Pei Jing paused, then lowered his voice and said: "But I want him to live here with his own ability, instead of forming cliques in the academy in the name of Prince Xiang's Mansion every day. To put it bluntly, he and Pei Xin has nothing to do with Prince Xiang, he was able to enter the Taixue only because of the honor of Linger and you, apart from these, he is useless, but unfortunately, he doesn't realize this himself."

Chen Miao stopped, and asked softly: "Do you still mind if he treats me?"

Pei Jing smiled slightly, took Chen Miao's hand and said softly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about you and him. You have a good heart for me, and I know it. I'm just worried about Xin'er's attitude. He I don't know what I'm doing at all, and I'm afraid he will suffer a lot in the future."

Chen Miao lowered her head and thought for a while, then smiled again: "It is also a blessing to suffer, otherwise how can we grow?"

Pei Jing smiled and said, "Yes."

After drinking tea, seeing that it was getting late, Pei Jing and Chen Miao left the teahouse and planned to go back.

After walking a few steps, Pei Jing suddenly paused, and Chen Miao asked in surprise, "Why?"

Pei Jing lowered his voice and said, "Someone is following us."

Chen Miao was taken aback for a moment: "Is it the secret guard of the palace?"

Pei Jing shook his head: "No, this person doesn't know martial arts."

He dragged Chen Miao towards another secluded alley, but he wondered why someone would follow them.

What's more, there are hidden guards behind them. If someone is following them, the dark guards will stop them.

Entering the alley, Pei Jing pulled Chen Miao and hid in the side wall of a house, and then looked behind carefully.

He suddenly frowned and murmured: "Why is it him?"

Chen Miao asked, "Who is it?"

Pei Jing slightly bent his lips, pulled Chen Miao and suddenly appeared.

Chen Miao was slightly startled, it turned out that the shopkeeper of Bao Rui Zhai was following behind them.

When the shopkeeper saw the two of them suddenly appearing, he couldn't help being startled, and said with a wry smile: "Don't misunderstand, the old man has no malicious intentions."

Seeing the two hidden guards of the palace quietly appearing behind the old man, Pei Jing couldn't help smiling slightly, and said to the two, "It's okay, he can't hurt us."

The shopkeeper was taken aback again, he didn't expect there were two people behind him, he looked back, the two hidden guards stared at him indifferently for a moment, then turned around and hid again.

The shopkeeper smiled wryly and said: "The two are really real people who don't show their faces. If the old man really has malicious intentions towards the two of you, I'm afraid that his body and head have already been separated by now."

Pei Jing smiled slightly and said, "The shopkeeper is serious. It's always good to be careful when going out. I don't know if the shopkeeper followed my husband and wife all the way. What's the matter?"

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, looked around, and said: "This is not a place to talk, I wonder if you two can do me a favor and sit with the old man for a while?"

Pei Jing laughed: "There are countless shopkeepers, so it's natural to see that I'm shy and can't afford any jewelry in your store. Wouldn't it be self-defeating to go there?"

The shopkeeper said embarrassingly: "My lord, you are joking. I don't mean to extort prices, but this is indeed the market in the capital. It's just that I invite the two of you to go to the old man again this time, because I have something to ask."

Pei Jing said indifferently: "There is no one here, and we have just sat down for a while. After eating and drinking, we will stop bothering the shopkeeper. Let the shopkeeper have something to say here."

The shopkeeper paused, and had no choice but to say: "The old man is abrupt, do you dare to ask if you two are from Yunzhou?"

Pei Jing said softly: "We all have a Yunzhou accent, so it's not difficult to guess."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Then ask again, is the young master's surname Pei?"

Pei Jing was suddenly suspicious. Both he and Chen Miao had a Yunzhou accent. It was not surprising that they were from Yunzhou, but they addressed each other along the way and did not name each other. How could this old man know his surname was Pei? ?
Pei Jing asked back, "What exactly do you want to say?"

The shopkeeper suddenly sighed, pointed to a silk sash hanging from Pei Jing's waist loop and said, "I don't know your surname Pei for anything else, I just recognize your waist loop."

On the silk sash on Pei Jing's waist loop was a piece of ancient jade.

This was originally an ancestral item in the family, and he never hung it when he was in the army, for fear of accidentally losing it.

But Lu's insisted that the ancient jade could ward off evil spirits, and it was a family heirloom, so he had to carry it with him all the time.

Chen Miao made this net for Pei Jing, put the ancient jade in it, and let Pei Jing hang it on the waist loop.

Pei Jing looked down at the piece of ancient jade, fell silent, and the shopkeeper sighed: "You are Songde's eldest son, right? You heard your father say, do you still have an uncle?"

Pei Jing said dubiously, "You are my uncle?"

The shopkeeper sighed softly: "To be honest, my name is Pei Songmao, and I am your father's eldest cousin. According to your seniority, you should call me uncle. I can recognize you because of the ancient jade around your waist. , I saw your grandfather handing it into your father's hands with my own eyes back then, so I recognized it."

Pei Jing hurriedly said: "So that's the case. I did hear my father said about you. Uncle, please forgive my nephew for being rude."

Pei Songmao chuckled: "You are quick-witted, and you did the right thing. How can I blame you? Well, now you are willing to go back to Baoruizhai and have a slow chat with me!"

Pei Jing laughed softly, "The flood has rushed to the Dragon King Temple, so my nephew will naturally go to uncle's place to bother me again."

The three of them returned to Baorui Zhai again. This time, Pei Songmao welcomed the two of them to sit in the back hall of Baorui Zhai, and gave him a few cups of fragrant tea. Then he sighed: "Twenty years have passed in a flash. When you left Yunzhou City, you were just born, just a full moon baby. Unexpectedly, you even married a wife in a blink of an eye, so fast."
