Side Story: Joy Record 30

The arrival of the mother of the nation at the residence was an supreme honor. But hearing this, Pei Yaoguang frowned and turned to look at Nie Jinxuan sideways.

"... What are you doing?"

Pei Yaoguang's expression was a bit strange, also revealing a trace of suspicion and vigilance. Hearing this, Nie Jinxuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What am I doing? What do you say I'm doing? Naturally, I'm a guest! Why? Is it possible that your large Pei family doesn't welcome me?"

Even using "this palace," Nie Jinxuan didn't give Pei Yaoguang any right to refuse. Of course, unless Pei Yaoguang acted like a donkey and refused to let Nie Jinxuan go to the Pei family, he had no choice but to agree. So, after glancing at Nie Jinxuan sideways again, and then glancing at the little guy, Yin Junting, who was also blinking his bright eyes and revealing incomparable anticipation, Pei Yaoguang finally nodded somewhat unwillingly.

"Tsk, come if you want! This master wants to see what medicine you are selling in your gourd! Are you afraid you can't make any tricks?!"

Pei Yaoguang restored his usual master style, opened his mouth, and walked to the Pei family first. Unfortunately, this time Pei Yaoguang was really wrong, because Pei Yaoguang never expected that after Nie Jinxuan brought her son to the Pei family and received a warm welcome from the entire Pei family, she would use the excuse that Xiao Xizi was a eunuch and it was inconvenient to take care of her in the Pei family, so she sent Xiao Xizi back to the palace and replaced him with Shui Yun!

Originally, if it was just said that Shui Yun was coming to the Pei residence, for a moment, Pei Yaoguang still felt incomparably happy reflexively. But at this moment, Pei's father, Pei Baiwan's twelfth concubine, quietly reported to Pei Yaoguang that his father had already sent someone to invite the girls and ladies he had listed as candidate daughters-in-law.

Originally, although Dongling's folk customs were quite open, it was ultimately not very good for an unmarried girl to go to the man's house to see a marriage that hadn't been settled yet. But Pei Yaoguang thought about it, just at noon today, there was a brain-damaged person who went to Fuchengde to bump into them in full view of everyone. Now he couldn't overestimate the IQ and shame of these women, so hearing this, Pei Yaoguang's face turned black, and he hurriedly pressed for an answer.

"Is there really such a thing? What is the situation now?"

Pei Yaoguang's frown turned into a river character, and the twelfth concubine was also straightforward, not selling anything, her beautiful eyes picked, and she said directly.

"Oh, my Third Young Master, what is the situation? Just now, those girls have already entered the mansion, and I guess they are all resting in their rooms now, just waiting for dinner later to show their magical powers!"

This twelfth concubine was also a wonderful person. After her voice fell, she didn't talk nonsense, looked left and right, and walked away as if nothing had happened. At this time, hearing the twelfth concubine say that those women had already come and even stayed, Pei Yaoguang's face turned completely black, and the whole person was not good!

Damn it, what kind of thing is this!

Pei Yaoguang was angry in his heart. If Pei Baiwan wasn't his father, he really wanted to go over and beat him up.

But being angry was useless, the key was how to think of a way to deal with the matter. But now, telling Nie Jinxuan not to let Shui Yun come, obviously this method wouldn't work. Go directly to the backyard and let those brain-damaged women get out? It seemed that it wouldn't work either. After all, if this made a big noise, those women would cry and howl, and if Shui Yun came again... heh, even if nothing happened, it would be made into something. Even if it wasn't good, it would make people feel that he was really "there is no silver three hundred taels here"!

So, Pei Yaoguang was still clever. Weighing the two, he felt that both methods wouldn't work. So he had to take the third path, which was to greet Nie Jinxuan first, and then wait for Shui Yun to come and see how to deal with it.

Pei Yaoguang made up his mind and did it. He changed out of his official uniform, simply washed up, and then Pei Yaoguang went to find Nie Jinxuan. At this time, Nie Jinxuan was also talking to the women in the Pei family's backyard, so she had no time to deal with him. Pei Yaoguang wanted to directly open his mouth to send those annoying women away, but he was afraid of startling the snake and causing trouble, so he had to endure it. But he didn't expect that those women were born chatterboxes, and after talking for a long time, not only did they not stop, but they became more and more lively.

Seeing this, Pei Yaoguang felt that his heart was blocked. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, finally walked in, and then used the excuse of discussing the case with Nie Jinxuan to send all the women, including his mother, away.

After they left, Pei Yaoguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then walked in, sat beside Nie Jinxuan, and then began to talk to Nie Jinxuan in words, solemnly declaring that his father's recruitment of a daughter-in-law had nothing to do with him at all!

Pei Yaoguang was usually direct. But now, for some reason, he couldn't speak directly, so he had to save the country by a curve. As for Pei Yaoguang's thoughts, Nie Jinxuan naturally knew, because long before Pei Yaoguang came over, the women led by Pei Yaoguang's mother had already told Nie Jinxuan about the Pei family's anxiety about Pei Yaoguang's marriage, and Pei Baiwan had just sent someone to pick up those girls to the mansion. But even so, no matter what Pei Yaoguang said, Nie Jinxuan was just pretending to be brain-damaged, completely looking like she didn't understand what was going on.

Nie Jinxuan's acting was still very successful. Unfortunately, what kind of person was Pei Yaoguang? They were all equally shrewd people, and they were familiar with each other. How could Pei Yaoguang not see that Nie Jinxuan was deliberately pretending to be dead?! So finally, Pei Yaoguang was forced to be helpless, and finally couldn't help but roar at Nie Jinxuan with wide eyes.

"Hey! I said why are you pretending to be an idiot?! In a word, remember, I have nothing to do with those women! Nothing at all, so you have to make it clear to Shui Yun, understand?"

Pei Yaoguang was really anxious. He even forgot that although Nie Jinxuan could help him and Shui Yun say good things, she could also blacken him in front of Shui Yun behind his back! Of course, Nie Jinxuan wouldn't do anything to damage the marriage. Besides, Shui Yun and Pei Yaoguang were not outsiders, so naturally she wouldn't do bad things, but even so, it was appropriate to tease Pei Yaoguang a little.

Therefore, after Pei Yaoguang finished roaring in a hurry, Nie Jinxuan just blinked her somewhat innocent eyes, and then asked with a suspicious expression.

"Surname Pei, what madness are you making? What does it have to do with your relationship with those women, and what does it have to do with my maid Shui Yun?! Why tell her?"

Deliberate, this woman is absolutely deliberate!

Pei Yaoguang was roaring in his heart, but he couldn't explain what his relationship with Shui Yun was, so he had to say harsh words.

"In short, no matter what, that's how it is!"

After saying that, Pei Yaoguang was too lazy to get angry with Nie Jinxuan here, turned around and left.

Although Nie Jinxuan had long heard that Pei Baiwan had picked up the girls he had taken a fancy to to the Pei mansion, even so, Nie Jinxuan didn't think they could play any tricks, at least not during dinner. After all, those who could be taken a fancy to by Pei Baiwan as daughters-in-law should be somewhat knowledgeable.

And as Nie Jinxuan thought, these girls were indeed quite proper. Of course, besides being knowledgeable themselves, the bigger reason was that the brain-damaged pioneer of the day used her brain-damaged behavior to set a good example for them, letting them know that Pei Yaoguang was not a master who couldn't walk when he saw a woman, and even less was he a master who could be hooked by a few small tricks.

So, these girls became smarter this time. But even so, their small movements during dinner were constant... either eating a certain dish with chopsticks, using various explanations to prove that they had talent in cooking; or suddenly picking up a piece of food and chanting poems to show how outstanding their talent was; or acting reserved and kind, frequently talking to the competitors beside them, to prove how good their character was and how kind they were...

And just when these girls were fighting openly and secretly, Pei's father, Pei Baiwan, was not idle either. Nie Jinxuan, the Empress, brought her eldest son, the prince, to visit in person. This was an supreme honor for the Pei family, so Pei Baiwan naturally couldn't give up this opportunity to show off. His fat face, like a Maitreya Buddha, was hardened into a chrysanthemum by his smile, and his smug little appearance made Pei Yaoguang's teeth itch with anger.

Pei Baiwan was smug to the point of being known to everyone, but no matter what, Nie Jinxuan coming to the Pei family was a reality. So seeing that the Pei family really had an extraordinary relationship with the Empress who was alone in the harem, these girls who had originally taken a fancy to the Pei family were even more like they had been injected with chicken blood. What integrity, let them all roll away! They used all their strength to express themselves.

Pei Yaoguang was about to overturn the table. But just at this time, Shui Yun came.

The Pei family was still somewhat unfamiliar with Shui Yun. But they had heard the name, and knew that Shui Yun was the closest person to Nie Jinxuan. So as soon as Shui Yun entered, just after saluting Nie Jinxuan, Pei's father, Pei Baiwan, and the women of the Pei family also greeted Shui Yun, not treating Shui Yun as a palace maid at all.

The Pei family was enthusiastic, and Shui Yun had always been cold, but she returned the salute one by one. After a few polite exchanges, Shui Yun turned her eyes and couldn't help but look at the familiar figure... But at this moment, the corner of her eyes also saw those brightly dressed girls.

Shui Yun didn't know who these young women were, but she intuitively felt that they were not from the Pei family. Looking at Pei Yaoguang's complexion, and those women throwing small glances at him from time to time, although Shui Yun didn't understand what was going on, she already understood what these women were thinking.

Suddenly, Shui Yun's already cold face became even colder. Afterward, she turned her gaze and didn't look at Pei Yaoguang again.

Shui Yun's performance was not obvious. But although others didn't find it, Pei Yaoguang found it. Suddenly, Pei Yaoguang felt that his whole body was not good again, a breath was blocked in his heart, and then his young master's temper came up. He threw the silver chopsticks on the table with a "slap" and stood up from his position.

"All of you, listen to this master, get out later! Otherwise, this master will do it himself and throw you out one by one!"

Cherishing the fairer sex is all fart, human feelings and face are all shit, Pei Yaoguang didn't care about these. When his temper came up, even if it was the King of Heaven, he could turn his face. After his voice fell, without waiting for everyone to say anything, he turned and left.

Pei Yaoguang was not lightly angered.

Similarly, Pei's father, Pei Baiwan, was also angered by him. After Pei Yaoguang's commotion, two timid girls really had the intention to retreat, and then they said goodbye one after another. But more girls stayed.

Thinking about it, people have such a common problem, always fantasizing that they are different in this world. Like women, they always like to fantasize that they can use moving talent and means to make the prodigal son turn back, the cold man warm up, and only be obedient to themselves, just like the Emperor is to the Empress. So Pei Yaoguang's irritable, wild, and arrogant behavior not only didn't make the remaining girls retreat, but made them more and more eager to try.

Plus, Pei Yaoguang is not just good-looking, the Pei family is not just rich, and the favor received from above is also solid... So, thinking about this, Pei Yaoguang must be captured.

Don't underestimate the fighting power of women, especially a group of women in fantasy. And Pei Yaoguang didn't know how these women re-planned and laid out. So after coming out of the dining hall, Pei Yaoguang went straight back to his room, and then lost his temper in the room.

Pei Yaoguang's temper was very special. It was not throwing things, not roaring, and even more not taking it out on others, but locking himself in the room and then walking in circles in the room.

Circle after circle, Pei Yaoguang was very angry, and this walk lasted for more than half an hour. He almost walked a circle on the ground, before his feet stopped, and then he sat on the purple sandalwood chair beside him with some panting.

He lost his temper and acted like a donkey. But Pei Yaoguang knew in his heart that his anger just now was not enough to extinguish the desires of those women, plus his father was making trouble, so the result was minimal. So thinking of this, Pei Yaoguang forced himself to calm down, thinking about how to solve the problem in front of him.

But thinking about it, Pei Yaoguang only thought of one way, which was to meet in person and talk to Shui Yun properly.

Pei Yaoguang made up his mind and waited. Until late at night, hearing the servant below say that Nie Jinxuan had already gone to bed, Pei Yaoguang stood up, and after tidying himself up a little, he braved the night and came to the courtyard where Nie Jinxuan was staying.

Nie Jinxuan was a distinguished guest, and the courtyard where she stayed was naturally the best in the Pei mansion. And Shui Yun was Nie Jinxuan's maid and was responsible for protecting Nie Jinxuan and the little prince, so naturally she would also be arranged in this courtyard.

Just like that, Pei Yaoguang came to the small courtyard where Nie Jinxuan was staying quietly. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Pei Yaoguang looked left and right, but after looking, he couldn't help but frown.

It turned out that the courtyard where Nie Jinxuan was staying was quite large. At a glance, although there was a main room, Pei Yaoguang could be sure that it was where Nie Jinxuan and her son lived, but there were several side rooms. And now it was pitch black, how could he know which room Shui Yun lived in?! And if he broke in rashly, and made a mistake in the room and bumped into someone else, that would be embarrassing!

Thinking of this, Pei Yaoguang didn't dare to guess blindly. He looked around again, still couldn't distinguish, then narrowed his eyes, turned his brain, and then bent down to pick up a small stone from the ground and threw it at one of the rooms!

"Clang—"

On a summer night, insects were chirping, and the stone Pei Yaoguang chose was very small, mixed in it, not very obvious. But Pei Yaoguang knew that even if others couldn't hear it, Shui Yun, who was a martial arts expert, would definitely hear it. And as Pei Yaoguang expected, as soon as the small stone was thrown out, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the side room next to the main room like lightning, and then he felt a terrifying force instantly pinch his neck.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so fast that Pei Yaoguang didn't react at all. But Pei Yaoguang didn't feel fear in his heart, but felt a trace of indescribable joy.

The person who flashed out was indeed Shui Yun. So after seeing clearly that the person who broke into the courtyard late at night was Pei Yaoguang, Shui Yun's frown instantly tightened, the force on her hand loosened, and then she stepped back.

"Magistrate Pei, what is the matter with you coming late at night?"

In the middle of the night, Shui Yun's voice was a bit cold. Hearing this, Pei Yaoguang, who was originally somewhat happy, was stunned for a moment, looked up at Shui Yun in front of him, but saw that Shui Yun's face was also as cold as ice, making Pei Yaoguang feel somewhat uncomfortable.

For a time, Pei Yaoguang felt an indescribable taste in his heart, pursed his lips, looked at Shui Yun for a long while, and then coughed lightly, which was considered to relieve the somewhat tense mood and atmosphere, and then said.

"Naturally there is something, otherwise what do you think this master is doing here at this time?"

"..."

"Actually, this master wants to see if the Empress has gone to bed, after all, the Empress is now staying in this master's mansion, so this master has the responsibility to arrange everything..."

Seeing Shui Yun not saying a word, Pei Yaoguang found a reason to endure. And at this time, hearing this, Shui Yun's face sank instantly, and then without saying a word, she turned and left.

Shui Yun was not a person who liked to talk nonsense, especially now that she was still angry, so she didn't want to see this bastard in front of her even more. But seeing Shui Yun turn and leave, Pei Yaoguang instantly pulled her out without thinking. ===== CHAPTER 315 =====
