Rebirth Handbook - Chapter 173
When Sheng Yonghou went to Qingzhou with a complicated mood to help train troops, Pei Shunqing took Ying Xian back to Pei’s mansion.
There was a little snow, and the weather was a little gloomy, but Pei Shunqing was in a very good mood. He picked Ying Xian from the carriage in front of Pei’s mansion, and never let her down.
When Ying Xian said that he could walk, he very gently refused the request, and told Ying Xian, “The snowy world is slippery, I am worried that you will fall, and the shoes you wear are easy to get wet, so I hold them. It’s more appropriate.”
Ying Xian was really kind, because she felt that Pei Shunqing was a weak scholar and had little strength. It would be very difficult to carry her back to Zhiwei Pavilion like this. But Pei Shunqing enjoyed it, and she liked it with him.
The housekeeper and servants of the Pei Mansion took the things that Ying Xian had brought from the carriage and followed Pei Shunqing to Zhiwei Pavilion. They all lowered their heads, and no one said a word.
Since Ying Xian got married here three years ago, it has been like this. She feels that all the subordinates in the Pei Mansion are the same as the master here, and they have never expressed any emotions. During those three years, Ying Xian had never seen Pei Shunqing angry, nor had he seen him happy, she was even more calm than her patient. That’s why she feels that Pei Shunqing is a flower of high ridge that looks like a rock with no expression of joy and anger.
But she now understands that it is all an illusion. Pei Shunqing is actually a very gentle and attentive person, and also loves to laugh. People who laugh often have their heads dizzy. She didn’t know how Pei Shunqing had resisted it before, it was too powerful.
The dwellings are all ready-made and familiar. Only some subtle changes have been made. There are no such heavy curtains to block the wind, and the smell of medicine that can not be dissipated, but the people inside are still there.
When Ying Xian was taken into Zhiwei Pavilion, the girls who had served her stood at the door waiting, because Pei Shunqing had notified them in advance that Sheng Yonghou’s daughter was going to live here for a few months. These girls have a good relationship with the young lady Ying Xian, so now they feel very complicated about the “Ying Xian” who is about to live in.
According to their status, “Ying Xian” is their young lady’s sister and their master, and they should also take good care of them. But on the one hand, several girls felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, feeling that the young lady was replaced by someone shortly after her death, and she felt very uncomfortable.
But no matter how uncomfortable they are, they dare not shake their faces. After all, they are just girls. The most courageous rose apple scolded Pei Shunqing in anger. Later, after calming down, they were shocked. They waited for Pei Shunqing to deal with her fearfully. Nothing happened for so long, and I was relieved. Because of this, Shiliu, the eldest sister of the four, gave her a good reprimand these days, and the four girls became more and more low-key.
After welcoming Ying Xian in, several girls found that Miss Ying Xian did not bring her own servant girl over, and she was familiar with this place. As soon as she was put down, she sat directly on the couch where the lady liked to sit. , And then smiled at them.
“I brought some new pen and ink, Shiliu, help me put it away.”
“Syzygium, go to the kitchen and ask if there is any red bean honey cake, I want to eat it.”
“Orange purple, Lizhi, there is too much charcoal in the room, let people take a stove out.”
Naturally, as Ying Xian ordered, several girls were stunned for a while, and then they did so with weird expressions. It’s strange, they thought it was their own lady who came back just now, and that tone is basically the tone of the lady’s usual tone, and it is what they are asked to do.
Regardless of the doubts in their hearts, Ying Xian said to Pei Shunqing, “Place the chessboard here, and there is a chess book. This chess book is very good, who made it? I have gained a lot these days.” Pei Shunqing put the chessboard on her On the little couple in front of him, he sat opposite.
“The chess book is made by myself, and the chessboard is also carved out by myself. Xianxian likes it.”
Ying Xian was a little surprised when he heard this. Pei Shunqing did this by himself? She could see that this white stone chess piece did not seem to be made by everyone, but she never expected that Pei Shunqing would grind it by herself. She twisted up a white chess piece and looked at it, and then asked, “This chess piece is well polished. It doesn’t seem to be polished in a hurry. It probably took a long time, right?”
“Well, I grind it before. It has been several years.” Pei Shunqing twisted a black chess piece. “Xian Xian looks very interested. Why don’t we come to the next game?”
When he started to sharpen the chess pieces, he had not yet been able to avenge him, and he had nowhere to express his anger day and night, so he followed the advice of a master in the temple and picked up many white and black stones to sharpen the chess pieces. The master said that this is a kind of cultivation of the heart, and Pei Shunqing grinding chess pieces is like grinding his own heart. Slowly, he felt that he calmed down, and people were like this little chess piece, polished and rounded.
Each of these chess pieces has been played countless times in his hands, and they all carry his mental journey and feelings over the years. Now he gave this chess piece to Ying Xian, which is self-evident.
Although Ying Xian didn’t know the inside story, but when he heard that he had grind it out with his own hands, she cherished the chess pieces in her heart. She is always willing to be cautious about the opinions of others.
Twisting up a white chess piece and placing it on the chessboard, Ying Xian smiled at the man facing him and said, “Although students are interested in chess, they are not proficient in it. Therefore, I hope the teacher will show mercy.”
Pei Shunqing almost was not melted by this kind of intimate teasing, a little unable to concentrate on playing chess. But in this state, he still won Ying Xian, played four games, and Ying Xian lost four games. Although she lost, she seemed very happy, looking at Pei Shunqing with affection and admiration.
“Sure enough, when I was very young, there was a chess teacher. I think he can’t play with you. I heard that you haven’t lost in chess with anyone, have you?”
Pei Shunqing smiled very modestly, “There are some outsiders and there are outsiders, and I dare not say that I have never lost. I just learned to play chess when I was a child and I lost to my teacher.
Ying Xian: “Then when have you never lost?”
Pei Shunqing: “I haven’t lost since I was fourteen.”
Ying Xian was surprised, “Isn’t this still a good name?”
Pei Shunqing waved his hand, “Nevertheless, you still have to be modest when speaking.”
Ying Xian showed a clear look, “I understand, this is the ethos in your officialdom, and you can’t say that you are very good.”
Pei Shunqing smiled, “Yes, just know that you are great in your heart. If you say it, it will be unpleasant, but then there will be a lot of trouble.”
Ying Xian: “You seem to be very experienced?”
Pei Shunqing coughed slightly, “It is inevitable that there will be a time when young and frivolous.”
The two of them were chatting while playing chess. The atmosphere was very harmonious and harmonious. From time to time there would be laughter. Several girls listened in silence, feeling very strange in their hearts.
The little dumplings playing chess over there have a weird sense of familiarity between their gestures, and the more they look, the more they feel like their own dead lady. That’s fine. Why did the male host who used to be cold and not smiling suddenly seem to change Like a person? Isn’t this really another person?
After the overnight snow, it was clear the next day, and Pei Shunqing came back early, preparing to take Ying Xian to see the plum blossoms on the mountain.
“I’m already fat, so I can’t walk with so many clothes.”
“It’s okay. If you can’t walk anymore, let me hug you up the mountain. It’s cold in the mountains in winter. These must be worn. Otherwise, how can you be better if you are sick? And this new cloak, come, I will tie you Put the strap on.”
Ying Xian stood there helplessly, and asked Pei Shunqing to tie her cloak. She has a fat body. After wearing so much, she became more rounded like a ball. She tried to walk a few steps forward. Ying Xian felt that she might be more suitable for rolling, and she must be able to roll very fast.
But in the eyes of Pei Shunqing, Ying Xian is really a hundred times more lovely than all the creatures in the world. The little girl who is carved and jade dressed in furry clothes, even if it becomes a ball, is also a ball that cannot be more cute.
When Ying Xian was carried out by Pei Shunqing, she thought, will Pei Shunqing be like her father in the future? Pei Shunqing is secretly lucky, feeling that her strength has increased a lot recently. If this continues, as long as you practice holding Ying Xian a few times a day in the yard, you can carry an 80-jin sword on the battlefield.
There are many plum trees in Yuanshan, and many people are enjoying the plum at this time. Pei Shunqing walked around the people and went straight to the garden on the mountain, and then took Ying Xian directly with the owner of the garden, Qi Zhiyu’s token.
Hanshan Xiangxuemei is an elegant name given by people in Beijing. This kind of plum blossoms when it blooms like snow on the branches, and its fragrance is vaguely present and sometimes absent. When it is rich, it is like immersing people in a sea of flowers.
There is also a pavilion built near these Xiangxuemei for viewing the plum blossoms. The four sides are covered with colored glaze to block the cold, and there is a table and chair cushion inside. Pei Shunqing put Ying Xian on the mat and asked the two servants who followed to arrange the things.
There was a carbon fire in the small pavilion, and it wouldn’t be cold for a while. Let the people go to rest in a nearby house, only Pei Shunqing and Ying Xian are left in the pavilion. Opening the window facing Xiang Xuemei, Pei Shunqing came back to sit down and polished the ink for Ying Xian.
“I heard that you wanted to paint plum blossoms some time ago. How about these plum blossoms? Maybe you have entered Songhe Jushi’s paintings?”
Ying Xian sat cross-legged on the mat and was a little surprised when she heard that: “So you want to show me plum blossoms because I said I wanted to paint plum blossoms?”
Not all, Pei Shunqing just wanted to bring Ying Xian out to play. Before, she could only stay in the inner house, looking at that small area, as her body got worse and worse, she couldn’t even get out of the bed. Pei Shunqing always felt very sorry. Sometimes when he was outside and saw something very beautiful, he would always have this kind of regret, thinking it would be nice if he could see it with Ying Xian.
“This plum blossom is really beautiful, so please make sure to send you the picture I drew today. Thank you for taking me out to enjoy the flowers.” Ying Xian picked up the pen and smiled.
She is very serious when she draws, and will gradually forget the people around her. She is like this, if she likes anything, she will sink like this with all her heart. I am afraid that Sheng Yonghou is worried about this because he understands his daughter. Just as some people said that Huiji would hurt, so if you love something too much, you can easily hurt your mind if you concentrate on studying it.
After Ying Xian married him, he basically stopped drawing with brushes. In addition, he had all kinds of worries, so Pei Shunqing rarely saw her drawing. Now, he often sees her drawing. Pei Shunqing likes her paintings, because her paintings are just like her people, they are very comfortable. Whether it’s a flower or a piece of landscape, it’s all at ease.
Quietly accompany Ying Xian to paint. When she stopped painting and looking at the plum trees outside, Pei Shunqing asked her: “Your paintings are all landscapes, flowers and birds, why not paint figures?”
Ying Xian blinked, “Because characters are the most difficult to draw. If you are ruthless in your heart, you will not be able to paint. I didn’t dare to talk about love or write casually.”
“So,” Pei Shunqing looked at her, “after that, can you please draw a picture for me?”
Ying Xian laughed aloud, “You will look at my paintings. If I paint you, can’t you see how I feel about you?”
Pei Shunqing sighed, “Hey, don’t you want to paint such a beautiful face of mine?”
The smile on Ying Xian’s face was even bigger. She said, “What you want to paint, what you want to paint, your birthday is over this year, and I will give you a birthday gift when I paint next year.”
