Chapter 9

Xijing, Furong Street, near noon, there are not many pedestrians on the street, a white horse is galloping, with dust flying behind it.

"Who is that?"

"It seems, it seems that he is the youngest champion of our Da Zhao?"

"The number one scholar? The son of the Pei family?!" The man exclaimed, "It's almost dinner time, what is the number one scholar doing?"

"By the way, have you heard? The Sun family is going to propose marriage to the Xiningbo Mansion."

"Marriage proposal? Who is the Sun family looking for?"

The man covered his eyes with his hands, and people quickly understood, and asked puzzledly, "Why not Miss Cui San?"

"Mr. Sun Sanlang is young and has a bad reputation. He is still one-eyed and lustful. Maybe that blind man is beautiful."

that blind man.

Everyone discussed it like this.

It was a beautiful spring day in March, but a gust of wind blew a big dark cloud out of nowhere.

Xiningbo Mansion, a secluded small courtyard in the south, felt the cool wind blowing across her cheeks, Cui Ti tightened her fingers: "Baibai, is it going to rain again?"

Bai Ge kept scratching her head anxiously: "What a terrible weather! The sun was still high just now!"

Cui Ti's heart couldn't stop sinking.

It is going to rain.

It's going to rain again.

When it rains, her kite can't fly.

Pei Xuanyang rode his horse through the straight Furong Street, the wind blew up her long hair around her ears, and her robe fluttered.

Xijing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven. The road is paved long and wide. There were not many people on the street before noon. Now it will rain, and there will be fewer people on the street.

The horses galloped.

After Furong Street is Peony Street.

A widow who lived on Peony Street came to close the window, and the white shadow flashed by. She didn't see Pei Xuan on the horse, but saw a foot wrapped in snow socks without boots.

Weird.

How can anyone run outside in broad daylight without wearing boots?

The horse's hooves fluttered, and Pei Xuan, who was close to the Xining Bofu, sat on his horseback and looked south. As expected, he saw a kite flying alone in mid-air.

When the wind blew up, the kite was blown to the east and west, and she felt happy, then worried and anxious, and this eagerness reached its peak when she saw the carriage parked in front of the Xiningbo Mansion.

The carriages of each family in Xijing will have their logos hung on them, so as not to collide with each other outside. A copper bell is adorned on the corner of the carriage, and a small flag with the word "Sun" is inserted on the side of the copper bell.

Pei Xuan staggered and rolled off his horse.

Menzi yawned and looked at her, seeing her dusty,

With a handsome appearance, seeing that she came here barefoot, she felt contemptuous: "This is the Xiningbo Mansion, idlers should retreat!"

He waved away people, but Pei Xuan rushed in with the whip in his hand.

"Hey, you, this is Xiningbo Mansion, not a place for you to run wild!"

"Student of the Emperor's No. 1 Scholar, can you stop him? Get out of the way!"

She sternly reprimanded her face, her family was humble, and the biggest official she had ever seen was his uncle, how could she stand up to the majesty of the prime minister's son-in-law?

While he was in a daze, Pei Xuan strode in.

She has never done anything to bully the weak in her life, but she did it today.She obeyed her parents since she was a child and never disobeyed her, but she disobeyed her last night.

There was a dull pain in the kneecap, Pei Xuan stared at the kite that was blown by the wind and rain, gritted his teeth and pushed away the servant of the Cui family who stood in front of her.

She has done so much, and promised so much with the girl swearing, if it is not in time, what face does she have to talk about her heart?

The whip was swung down heavily, and there was a thunderclap in the air.

Dark clouds rolled in and rain fell.

In the main hall, Mrs. Count Xining was grinning from ear to ear. Count Xining sat in the main seat and basically ignored him, listening to Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Sun discussing the marriage of the two juniors.

The matchmaker invited by the Sun's family talked wildly, and described Sun Sanlang, who was blind in one eye because of his lust, as a beloved beloved.

After hearing her words, Count Xining began to feel that the rumors in the market could not be trusted.

At least the Sun Sanlang he saw was polite and good-looking, at least much more pleasing to the eye than the crippled Qian family concubine.

Both parties are interested in this marriage, only Mrs. Count Xining is still there to take Joe.

Sun Sanlang hated the future mother-in-law who opened her mouth like a lion, and was so anxious that she kept winking with her mother that Mrs. Sun proposed an extra 10% of the dowry.

"Uncle and I have seen the sincerity of the Sun family." Mrs. Count Xining smiled sincerely.

"Then this marriage?"

"Uncle and I agreed."

"I don't agree!"

There was thunder on the ground, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Count Xining looked at Qiao Beloved standing outside the door at the same time.

The servants confessed to their master in fear and trepidation, Count Xining was surprised, seeing the person standing up.

Pei Xuan put away his riding whip, flicked his clothes and walked in the door.

The sky-blue robe, the messy black hair, the muddy white socks stepped on the ground, the soft whip on the waist, and the belt in the wind. Mrs. Count Xining lives in the backyard and does not know her identity. How can Count XiningI don't know how valuable she is?

In the past few years, who is the most beautiful son of Xijing, the son of the Pei family is the second, who dares to be the first?

Such an outstanding beloved came here in disheveled clothes, and Count Xining rushed to meet Pei Xuan before the woman at home reprimanded him: "The maid is nothing, so I hope Pei beloved will not be blamed."

Bae beloved?

Mrs. Count Xining's sharp eyebrows and eyes turned gentle, and she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Mrs. Sun suddenly realized, her eyes were a little more awed.

Sun Sanlang loves beauties, he loves both men and women, and he is not particular about it. The first time he saw Pei Xuan, his soul was about to float out of his body, shining and dazzling, this is the son of the Pei family.

It is better to meet than to be famous.

The junior Pei Xuanzun met Count Xining and his wife, he was gentle and elegant, even if he didn't wear boots, he was still the leading talent in Xijing.

Count Xining loves her humility.

Xijing Xungui loves to praise the high and depress the low. After being trampled on for a few years, he can still get the kindness of the champion with a bright future. He is very happy: "Beloved just said no, why not?"

"I don't allow Cui's parents and daughter to marry Sun Sanlang as his wife."

Mrs. Count Xining's eyelids twitched heavily out of a woman's intuition.

Watching the excitement and seeing his own head, Sun Sanlang curled his lips: "Brother Pei hurried here, is he here to snatch a kiss?"

What kind of beauty should be the woman who can make Pei Xuan lose control so far?

He doesn't want to let go.

He is going to marry that blind man!

Knowing a child is like a mother, how can Mrs. Sun not know the mind of her youngest son?

After weighing again and again, he was sure that the Prime Minister would not allow his son to marry a blind girl. Then he saw Pei Xuan's clothes were disheveled and he had no time to put on his boots and ran out.reason.

"Earlier, I have made a verbal agreement with Count Xining and my wife. My parents ordered my grandson's family to take over, so what does Pei Beloved have?"

"I have a kite!"

Her eyes were burning, as if she was speaking the most truthful words that only a saint can utter.

Kite?

No one present could understand this.

Count Xining regretted agreeing earlier, if he had known that this person was interested, let alone a kite, he would happily present his eldest daughter even with a piece of grass.

Mrs. Count Xining was so regretful that her intestines were green, and her heart was more bitter than eating Coptis chinensis.

Sun Sanlang proudly said: "Brother Pei, a gentleman does not take what others like. You robbed my fiancée's portrait earlier, and I haven't settled the score with you yet."

"Who are you going to count

Why don't you settle accounts with the old man?"

A thick and powerful voice came through the wind and rain.

Count Xining was dumbfounded, and said with a bad tongue: "Pei, Prime Minister Pei!?"

The prime minister of a country came to Count Xining's mansion, and Count Xining and his wife kowtowed.

Seeing that the youngest son was still sticking to the oak stump foolishly, Mrs. Sun tugged at his trouser legs, and after realizing that Xiangye's words were coming for him, Sun Sanlang was dripping with cold sweat, his face as white as paper, and he knelt down on his knees.

Pei Xiangye, who was over forty years old, was also a Qiaoerlang who was popular in Xijing when he was young. Qiaoerlang was a middle-aged man with a powerful official and awe-inspiring momentum.As soon as he showed up, he felt an unbearable coercion like the top of Mount Tai.

Seeing him coming in person, Pei Xuan called out "Father" uncomfortably, in return for Prime Minister Pei to look at him dissatisfied.

Holding a pair of boots, the bookboy hurriedly stood up from behind Xiangye, serving Beloved with the boots.

Another maid came forward to tidy up Pei Xuan's messy hair and crooked jade belt.

Pei Rufeng flicked his big sleeves, sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, and looked at the heads of one or two with heavy eyebrows: "My son also has the orders of his parents and the words of a matchmaker."

Pei Xuan raised his head suddenly, and called him "Father" in surprise, coaxing the Prime Minister to want to be angry and want to laugh at the same time.

Shi Shiran, the official media, walked out holding the hem of her skirt.

It was the first time she had seen someone propose marriage and asked the woman's parents to kneel and obey.

The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrested her here without saying a word. With her many years of matchmaking experience, it is impossible not to see that Pei Beloved is sincere.

Pei beloved was sincerely moved, Xiangye only had his son, regardless of whether she was blind, lame, deaf or stupid, the most important thing was that the son was happy.

"Dare to ask Mr. Xiang..." Mrs. Count Xining suppressed her fear and asked: "My uncle and I have two daughters under our knees. I don't know if Mr. Xiang wants to..."

Prime Minister Pei didn't bother to reply, and glanced at his 'son' who had lost face a few blocks away, Pei Xuanwen said softly, "I want to marry the uncle's eldest daughter, the one who lives in the south courtyard."

She specifically pointed out "living in the South Courtyard". She didn't think it was a problem before, but now Count Xining's old face is hot.

A family of good girls asks for hundreds of families.

A blind man can also attract the famous Pei family in Xijing. Mrs. Count Xining secretly sighed that Cui Ti had hit the big luck, and even more lamented the luck of Count Xining's mansion.

Marriage to the Pei family, even kneeling, is taller than many people standing outside.

Mrs. Sun's body was shaking like chaff, she couldn't understand, how could the prime minister agree to marry a blind man to his son-in-law?

She didn't even understand why Pei Langjun, a nearly perfect man, fell in love with a blind man?

Others are ashamed, he holds

Seeing as a treasure, others wish they could stay away, even riding a horse in the rain to come here.

With Mr. Xiang sitting in charge, the marriage was obviously smooth.

"Okay, you guys get up, how ugly is it to kneel?"

After the prime minister spoke, Count Xining and his wife dared to suppress their ecstasy and stand up in fear, leaving Mrs. Sun and her son kneeling there.

Pei Rufeng has a good memory, and he was still thinking about the boy who wanted to settle accounts with his daughter, so he suddenly said, "Sun Sanlang, it's you—"

Before he finished speaking, a smell of urine spread.

Sun Sanlang pissed in fright.

The smell of urine was overwhelming, and Prime Minister Pei lost the desire to settle accounts, and covered his nose with a handkerchief: "It's an insult to gentleness, don't drag it on!"

Mrs. Sun hugged her son desperately, and Sun Sanlang became a soft-footed shrimp.

Noisy.

Prime Minister Pei took time out of his busy schedule to come here, and didn't have time to stay here to discuss the marriage in detail. Before he left, he set the date of marriage, and brought his 'unfilial son' home in a hurry.

"Don't look, you can't wait for this day?"

He had a dirty face, and he really had nothing to do with Pei Xuan: "Go home first, your mother asked a doctor to look at your legs, and you will be an official in the future, and you still mess around like this! Before long, everyone in XijingKnowing that you, Pei Beloved, are disheveled and came to snatch a kiss!"

Pei Xuan finally took a look at the precarious kite in mid-air, and put down the curtain of the car: "Father, there will be one more person honoring you and A Niang in the future."

Pei Rufeng let out a long sigh, and he patted Pei Xuan's not-so-strong body, saying everything without saying a word.

The kite that lingered for a long time finally couldn't stand the wind and rain and fell down.

Bai Ge's heart is full of anger towards Pei Beloved—is it really so fun to tease her girl?Why tease a blind girl who was waiting for him?Isn't her girl poor enough?

Her eyes were red with anger, tears rolled out of her eyes, she turned sideways and wiped away the tears with her sleeve, trying not to let Cui Ti hear her cry.

"Bai Bai, is the kite still there?"

"Yes, still!"

Bai Ge couldn't bear to look at the messy kite in the mud, and exclaimed: "Girl, the kite we made this time is really good, and it's still hanging on it!"

Cui Ti knew exactly what kind of person she was, what kind of mood she was in, and her tone of voice.

She guessed the kite was broken again.

"girl?"

Seeing her squeak for a long time, Bai Ge guiltily pulled the loose thread of the cuff.

"You don't have to coax me. It's okay. If the kite is destroyed, let's make another one."

Baige waited with her yesterday, waiting

When the sun goes down, until the moon rises, until the sky clears, until it rains, she really can't wait any longer: "Girl, if he's lying to you, shall we still make kites?"

Anyone who sees a kite riding a horse will rush over here. Even if he leaves Xijing City, he should have rushed over after so long.

Cui Ti shook her head: "He will come, kite, we still have to do it."

Baige scratched her hair frantically, and after a while, she headed to the chicken nest to prepare something for the kite.

The skeleton was barely set up, and Cui Ti had small scars on her index and middle fingers.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ge hated Pei Xuan so much that he had better come, otherwise she would scold him to death in her dreams!

"in vain."

Cui Ti was silent for a while, then said softly: "He will come, don't scold him secretly in your heart."

"..."

Bai Ge was so angry that the bamboo knife almost cut off her hand, and took a deep breath of the smell of dirt outside the window: Miss, this is crazy!

"Okay, he will come. The girl said he will come, and he will definitely come." She forced a smile on her face, hoping that Pei Xuan would keep his word.

The remote and desolate south courtyard really sprung up like mushrooms after rain, many people popped up all of a sudden, most of them came to congratulate the door.The white pigeon was surrounded by people, Pei Xuan's stupid goose said it would not come, her girl was stunned, what is there to be happy about?

"Great joy, great joy!"

The man jumped over the white dove: "I'll go talk to the girl!"

It cleared up after the rain, and without the white dove, Cui Ti tried to fly the kite by herself, but it was not going well.

"Oh! What are you doing, girl? Be careful!"

The woman who was the most diligent in running to the north courtyard yelled exaggeratedly, and Cui Ti almost tripped in shock. Bai Ge had a headache, feeling that these people were here to make trouble on purpose, and ran to help the master.

"You will be the wife of the number one scholar in the future. I really like flying kites. Isn't it good to let Pei Beloved fly with you?"

Bai Ge wanted to explode when she heard the word "Pei beloved", but Cui Ti was sober-minded and asked in a trembling voice, "Madam champion?"

"That's right, the eldest son of the Pei family came here in the rain, forgot to put on his boots, broke into the mansion with a whip in his hand, and proposed marriage in front of his uncle and wife. Later, the prime minister also came, and the wedding date was set on May 5th.

"You, living in this small courtyard, you have become the most honorable master of the whole family."

She smiled obsequiously: "The slave is here, Miss He is overjoyed!"!
