Chapter 226 The Messenger
In other words, even if she could never marry, what about her father and brother?
Will they be criticized, will they be gossiped about, will they be unable to bear the gossip outside, or will they let her remarry simply for her own good?
It may take less than three years.
Pei Qingyan's worries are not unreasonable.
Song Anning felt a little sweet.
Because he cares about her so much.
Overbearing possessiveness, but not offensive.
Song Anning blinked.
Looking at Pei Qingyan playfully, he said deliberately: "What if I get close to another man?"
"Then I will ignore the three-year agreement and snatch you away directly. I will take you away from the capital and Qingzhou so far away that no one can find you."
Song Anning chuckled.
Although it is a joke, it can also feel sincere.
After the two joked for a while, Pei Qingyan straightened his expression.
"You really don't have to worry about Danyang. Although the Guojiu Mansion is powerful, it doesn't cover the sky with one hand. The person I protect doesn't dare to do anything to you."
Song Anning nodded.
She knew that Pei Qing was protecting her at the banquet, but being protected was not as important as being able to fight back.
After two lifetimes of experience, she is no longer accustomed to handing over the initiative to others.
Whether you say she is sensitive and suspicious or insecure, she just hopes to live a new life and protect herself and her family as much as possible.
Song Anning didn't say much.
After the two got together for a while, they also dispersed.
Pei Qingyan still had many things to be busy with and couldn't stay with her all the time. Naturally, she didn't need him to accompany her all the time.
After staying in the capital for half a month, Song Anning harvested a lot of grain.
Together with the old grains that I told the magistrate before, they were also shipped to Qingzhou.
Time passed quickly, and Song Anning would have to go back soon.
Pei Qingyan had other things to do and couldn't send her back to Qingzhou, so he had to send his right-hand man Qing Xuan to see her off.
The two parted outside the city, and the man was obviously very reluctant to leave.
Song Anning laughed.
"Master Pei, are you going to break some branches to give away to your friends? If so, please break some nice-looking flowers. I don't want to go back with nothing on my shoulders."
Pei Qingyan was immediately amused by her.
He was really obedient, and instead of folding those messy things, he folded a pear blossom hairpin and tied it in her bun.
Song Anning accepted it calmly.
Pei Qingyan looked at the snow-white pear blossoms in her hair, and infinite sadness suddenly rose in his heart.
"Ning Ning, stay in Qingzhou, don't run around, and wait for me to come find you."
Song Anning blinked.
"I want to learn how to do business from my parents, how can I not run around?"
This time, Pei Qingyan didn't mess with her.
He looked serious and said in a deep voice, "I'm not joking with you, I'm serious. Now the world is gradually getting into chaos. It's not easy for you, a woman, to go out. Even if I send someone to protect you, it's not very safe." Zhou Quan, Qingzhou's terrain is very good, easy to defend but difficult to attack, they won't cause trouble to Qingzhou yet, if you are interested, help me bring a letter to the local prefect, they will know what to do."
He said, holding out a letter.
Song Anning raised her eyebrows.
She took the letter, looked around, and said with a smile, "Am I acting as a messenger for you?"
Pei Qingyan also smiled, "Thank you, Miss Song."
Song Anning snorted coldly, ignored him, turned around and got into the carriage.
At the moment when he bent down to enter the carriage, he turned around and promised him: "Don't worry, I won't go anywhere during this period, I will just stay in Qingzhou, Pei Qingyan, you should also take care of yourself, remember Our three-year agreement.”
Pei Qingyan nodded heavily.
Song Anning got into the carriage and the carriage quickly left.
Pei Qingyan stood there and stared for a long time. He waited until the carriage was no longer visible on the mountain road before turning around and leaving.
At this time, the uncle's house.
Lord Danyang knew about Song Anning's departure and also knew that Pei Qingyan had gone to see her off, all the way to Shili Changting.
She snorted coldly, which was not surprising.
After all, the two of them are in love. If they don't send each other off, it won't be called Pei Qingyan.
But it’s okay that Song Anning is gone.
After leaving, it would be more suitable for her to pursue Pei Qingyan.
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and said to the maid beside her: "Do you know what Mr. Pei's preferences are?"
The maid was stunned and scratched her head in embarrassment.
"This... Princess, you don't even know, how could I possibly know?"
She is just a little maid.
Princess Danyang had a good relationship with Pei Qingyan when she was a child, but she did not have a good relationship with Lord Pei.
Princess Danyang was stunned, thinking about it, but she still frowned and reprimanded, "If you don't know, why don't you ask? Then there are so many servants and maids in the Pei Mansion, but you don't have a good relationship with any of them? Give them some. Yin Zi, can you tell if you just ask?"
The maid nodded aggrievedly, "Yes, that slave will go now."
The maid went to inquire about Pei Qingyan's whereabouts and preferences, and Pei Qingyan soon found out about it.
The mansion is so big, no matter how strict he is, he can't control everyone's mouth.
What's more, strictly speaking, this is not a big deal. In addition to those who hate him, there are also many courtiers who want to curry favor with him. I don't know how many people stare at this little Pei mansion every day, asking about Pei Qingyan's preferences, hoping to use this opportunity. Do what he likes and let him let you go.
Pei Qingyan was already used to strange things.
So one day, Princess Danyang sent him a message, saying that a group of horses had recently been sent as tribute from the Western Regions, and the emperor happened to reward two horses from the uncle's palace. The uncle felt sorry for her daughter, and donated the horses to her, but It was not interesting for a woman of her generation to reward horses alone, so when she invited Mr. Pei to share the reward, Pei Qingyan went without hesitation.
He had known Danyang since they were very young and knew that she was not actually a bad person.
At most, it's a little willful.
Rather than being enemies, it is better to turn enemies into friends.
Pei Qingyan agreed to keep the appointment, which made Danyang very happy.
On this day, she put on her most gorgeous clothes and came to the racecourse to meet Pei Qingyan.
She originally thought that Pei Qingyan would look down upon her, but unexpectedly, Pei Qingyan ignored her at all.
It's like you didn't see it.
Princess Danyang was immediately unconvinced.
She held up her skirt and angrily went to trouble Pei Qingyan.
"Pei Qingyan! Are you blind? Didn't you see that I wore new clothes today?"
Pei Qingyan glanced at her sideways, "I saw it."
"Then you have no reaction?"
"How should I react?"
"You!" Princess Danyang was extremely angry and said angrily: "You should praise me for my beauty! That way the clothes I wear today are worth it."
"Oh." Pei Qingyan's eyebrows remained unchanged, his eyes were calm, "I have actually watched you grow up, going down the river to fish with bare buttocks, climbing trees to pick out birds. I have such a deep impression that it is difficult to treat you. Show off your current appearance."
Princess Danyang: "..."
