Rebirth of the First Class

Chapter 43
Entering the hall, Ji Qingcheng said: "Sit down for a while." After finishing speaking, he turned and went to Xici Room.

Wei Xizhao looked at the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and when he saw the tea leaves, he took them to the round table in the courtyard and started making tea.

Shen Xing and Ying'er entered the courtyard, and hurried forward, "Miss, let the slaves come."

Wei Xizhao shook his head with a smile, "No, it's rare for you to go out, so go and look around."

"Miss really treats people the best." Ying'er laughed.

Shen Xing said: "Isn't it great that your third young lady simply doesn't want you to accompany me?"

"Miss San is afraid that I will spoil her interest by getting in my way." Ying'er seemed a little depressed.

The two maids walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked around for any good places nearby.

When Ji Qingcheng came out, the tea had just been brewed.Sitting on the drunkard's chair, he took a sip of tea, showed a smile, and confessed: "You can look around, or you can go to the ear room to look at the books here, and then leave for home in Shenshi."

"here it is……"

"It's the house I bought recently, so you don't have to be restrained."

Wei Xizhao asked him again: "Do you want to read any books, Lord Hou?"

Ji Qingcheng shook his head, "I only drink tea today."

Wei Xizhao smiled and went to the ear room.

There are various books displayed in the ear room, including the Four Books and Five Classics that men need to study, as well as many anthologies of poetry, four images and gossip, piano scores and medical books, etc.

Wei Xi knows the rhythm well and is good at playing the qin, so he chose a qin score to read carefully.Occasionally, my eyes get tired from watching, so I go to the door to see what's going on outside.

A few guards guarded the courtyard gate, silent, only the sound of birds chirping and wind blowing.Ji Qingcheng closed his eyes and meditated on the drunkard's chair, his brows were soothed.The sunlight shines on his body through the branches and leaves of the grape trellis, leaving behind fine shadows.It finally made him a little less cold and a little more warm.

At noon, Shen Xing and Ying'er came back and brought food.After eating, Wei Xizhao drank a cup of strong tea, took the piano score in his hand, and wandered outside the courtyard with two maids.

The grass is endless, the water is gurgling, remote but not desolate.Wei Xizhao was almost jealous of Ji Qingcheng, who actually had such a paradise.

Wei Xizhao looked at the sun and estimated the time, and returned to the courtyard before Shen Shiqian.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Ji Qingcheng saw the piano score in her hand and said, "Take it home if you like it."

Regarding this matter, Wei Xizhao couldn't ask for it, so he was polite, "Thank you, Lord Hou." As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of Wei Xiliu getting off the carriage, and ran over with a face full of joy.

"Master Hou, Eldest Sister," Wei Xilong raised his hand to wipe his sweat, "Fortunately, we didn't go the wrong way."

"Go back." Ji Qingcheng ordered the guards to prepare the car.

Wei Xilong asked Ji Qingcheng again: "Master Hou, when will you take us out again?"

Ji Qingcheng looked helpless, "I'm afraid I'll be busy in the future."

Wei Xilong sighed, feeling very disappointed.

On the way back, the two sisters rode in the same carriage.Only then did Wei Xizhao ask, "Where did you go? And how did you find this place?"

"Of course someone sent me here." Wei Xilong smiled, but he refused to elaborate on his whereabouts.

Wei Xizhao vaguely guessed something, but it would be reckless to ask based on guesses, so he didn't continue the topic.

Back in the mansion, Wei Xizhao had just changed his clothes when Feng Xi came over to deliver a message: "Master has just returned to the mansion to receive an order. He said that he is going to go to war in a few days. When the imperial brigade gathers and arrives near Longcheng, the master will go." Meet up. The master has to deliver official business these few days, and he is really busy, so he specially asked the villain to come and inform the eldest lady, and come to Linglong Pavilion for dinner in a few days."

Wei Xizhao replied that he knew it, and Yuanyang came over to invite him again: "There is a distinguished guest talking to Madam in the main room, and he said that he wants to meet the Eldest Miss and the Third Miss, and he has been waiting for quite a while."

who?He also asked to see her and Wei Xilong who left the house today by name.Wei Xizhao went to the main room full of doubts.After entering the door, he did not dare to be negligent, bowed his head and lowered his eyes, and saluted respectfully.Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw that Wei Xilong had arrived, and he stood quietly by the side.

Afterwards, a man asked, "Which young lady is this?"

Wei Xizhao's heart trembled, it was clearly Pei Guhong's voice, why did he come to the mansion?

Mrs. Xu replied respectfully: "It's the eldest daughter, Xi Zhao." Then she told Wei Xizhao, "Xi Zhao, meet Prince Ning's son soon."

Wei Xizhao bit the bullet and stepped forward to pay respects... If I remember correctly, Pei Guhong gave her a serious look, but he didn't know if he remembered himself.

Pei Guhong's voice sank: "The eldest daughter of the Wei Mansion, ran to the wilderness to have a private meeting with someone. Ma'am, is this the family style of your Wei Mansion?"

Wei Xilong took a step forward to say something, but Xu stopped him with his eyes.

No matter how disliked Wei Xizhao was in Xu's heart, he had to take Wei Xuanmo's face into consideration at this time, and hurriedly said: "The words of the son of the world really make this concubine frightened. Xi Zhao will definitely not do such things."

Pei Guhong laughed sarcastically: "But, I saw with my own eyes that the Eldest Miss and Marquis Chang Ping appeared in a remote place."

Mrs. Xu smiled relievedly after hearing this, "I don't know about it. Today is the Marquis of Changping who asked my daughter to go out with him to help identify some calligraphy and paintings. My son misunderstood."

"So that's how it is." Pei Guhong's voice slowed down, he didn't bother with the topic, and asked instead, "I heard that Marquis Changping is now living in the Wei Mansion?"

"Yes."

Pei Guhong seemed to have already made a plan, and immediately said: "I came to Longcheng to announce the decree, and I still have some things to do, and I don't have a place to live now, I wonder if Madam can arrange a place for me?"

Mrs. Xu agreed with all her mouth, and her voice was full of joy: "The son of the world has this intention, and I can't get what I want, so I will order someone to clean it up."

Wei Xizhao's heart pounded when he heard it.The two enemies are both living in the Weifu, so they won't have a falling out in the days to come?
"Madam, please leave." Pei Guhong went out with his hands behind his back.

As soon as the guests left, Mrs. Xu's face immediately darkened, she slapped the table with her palm, and asked in a cold voice: "Xi Zhao, what's the matter with you! How did you provoke your son to say those words? What did you do when you went out?" !"

Wei Xizhao said calmly, "Daughter asks herself, she didn't say or do anything out of the ordinary, please ask mother to discern."
