39. Chapter 39
Chen Youyou lived with her mother in a separate courtyard, and Pei Jinghan went there to pick her up first.
After walking for a while, looking behind her, seeing Su Yue looking at the flower trees by the road happily, Pei Jinghan slowed down and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you like to talk again?"
Su Yue looked up at him and met the man's phoenix eyes. She quickly moved away and snorted in a low voice: "I heard that the cousin's voice sounds better than the oriole. I'm afraid that the prince will never be able to bear my crow's throat anymore, so I won't say it."
Once he advised her to do her duty, she would do her duty and not dare to show her any sourness. Later, when she saw Chen Youyou get along with him, she realized that Pei Jinghan likes women to be jealous of him, but she can only be jealous. It is enough to say sour words, so she can't make trouble, which will ruin his mood.
"If your voice is a crow, wouldn't I behave like a weird person and like to listen to crows?" Pei Jinghan held her hand and looked at her with phoenix eyes. This statement is not false. He really likes Su Yue's voice the most. He said something after a while, it is crisp and pleasant, and it will not make him feel irritated.
Su Yue looked at him again with beautiful eyes and said with little confidence: "Really?"
Pei Jinghan nodded and gently touched her face, "Don't think about it, she is my cousin. As my brother, of course I have to treat her well, but I will not forget you if I have her, otherwise why would I take you out?"
Su Yue immediately recovered her spirits, looked ahead, gently pulled her hand out, and said obediently: "This is outside, please be careful, let the cousin see it, and maybe I won't take you to accompany her to the garden."
She only talked with teasing and not jealousy. Pei Jinghan liked it more and more. He lowered his head and sipped incense, and then continued to move forward.
When she was just arriving, Chen Youyou certainly couldn't sit comfortably in the boudoir when Pei Jinghan came and she went out to see the guests. It was almost the same time. She led her maid Jinxiu to sit under the shade of the tree in the yard early. She saw Pei Jinghan and a maid in a pink skirt coming from afar. Chen Youyou greeted him happily and shyly, "Cousin."
The girl who had just finished her resting was full of energy, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and was wearing a water-green skirt, fresh and refined.
"Why did you wait so early?" Pei Jinghan stopped in front of the door and asked with a smile, Fengyan carefully observing Chen Youyou's expression.
Chen Youyou looked like she didn't see Su Yue, her eyes were on Pei Jinghan, and she blushed and said, "My cousin is so busy and willing to take time to accompany me. I don't want to be too slow. I'm tired of waiting for me." You should be more considerate.
"We are cousins, so don't be so polite." Pei Jinghan said affectionately and naturally, turning around, signaling Chen Youyou to follow him.
Su Yue and Jinxiu followed side by side, deliberately slowing down, leaving about ten steps away.
Jinxiu's appearance is just average. When she faces the beautiful and charming Suyue, she knew that her girl was going to give to the prince, and she immediately disliked Suyue. After she entered the mansion, she secretly inquired about it. The prince loved Suyue and another maid named Ningxiang. She heard that they scolded the second prince at the beginning of the year.
It's simply the enemy of the girl!
"Is it Sister Su Yue?" After a while, Jinxiu greeted intimately, "My name is Jinxiu. I have been serving girls since I was a child."
Su Yue smiled back, "That cousin must value you very much. It's great that I only started serving the prince last year."
Facing Jinxiu, she felt no worries.
In his previous life, Jinxiu always looked down on her and secretly called her a vixen crawler. But Su Yue didn't. Pei Jinghan liked her and treated her well, so she was moved by him. Jinxiu, who was loyal at first, but later she wanted to seduce Pei Jinghan while Chen Youyou was pregnant? Unfortunately, Jinxiu was determined to crawl. Pei Jinghan looked down on her at all, so she directly ordered someone to tie her up and sold her. The only place where Jinxiu was loyal to Chen Youyou was given Chen Youyou another opportunity to pretend to be kind, and hypocritically advised Pei Jinghan to spare Jinxiu.
Jinxiu looked at her with envious eyes and lowered her voice: "Sister Suyue is enviable. You are so beautiful and so loved by the prince. The prince will definitely give you a title in the future, right?"
Su Yue was about to pass by perfunctorily, but she found that Pei Jinghan looked back at her front, so she lowered her head and clenched her hands awkwardly.
When Jinxiu saw this, she immediately understood that Suyue had been taken over by the prince.
However, in Pei Jinghan's opinion, it became something Su Yue heard from Jinxiu that embarrassed her.
After glanced at Jin Xiu, who was not good-looking, Pei Jinghan continued to chat with Chen You as if nothing had happened, "What do my cousin likes?"
Chen Youyou lowered his eyes and looked at the bluestone path in front of him and said, "Just look at the embroidery of books and embroidery, nothing special."
"Prince, don't listen to my girl being humble. My girl knows so much." Because Pei Jinghan did not deliberately lower his voice, Jinxiu also heard his question behind him and immediately took a few steps, wanting to praise his girl.
"You're talking nonsense again, shut up!" Chen Youyou blushed and scolded in a delicate voice.
Pei Jinghan raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Jinxiu who was eager to speak but stopped and said, "Speak up, I know what your girls like."
As if he had reliance, Jinxiu smiled and avoided Chen Youyou's hand, flashed behind Pei Jinghan, and said quickly: "My girl is born smart, she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a famous talented woman in Jingzhou Prefecture. Even Mr. Zou of Yunshan Academy praised the girl if she was a man, she would definitely be the top scorer in high school."
Mr. Zou was a famous scholar in this dynasty.
"Cousin, that's all rumored by outsiders. I just had the honor to meet Mr. Zou, and he had never said that." Chen Youyou red face and defended.
Her girl was too modest and Jinxiu was anxious. When she saw a large piece of peonies blooming around her, her eyes lit up: "Why didn't there? Last year, the peony flowers were blooming. Mr. Zou praised her and wanted to read other poems. The girl was just modest and refused to take them out, and missed the opportunity to make friends with Mr. Zou for nothing."
"There is still this?" Pei Jinghan finally spoke, looking at Chen Youyou with phoenix eyes, "Cousin, can you read it to me?"
Chen Youyou looked at Jinxiu with resentment, and walked forward as if he ran away, "I dare not show my ugly appearance in front of my cousin."
It is definitely not bad to get Mr. Zou’s praise. She refused to say that, so Pei Jinghan looked at Jinxiu, “Do you remember?”
Jinxiu smiled and said, "I remember that I can recite the poems of girls, and that poem is called "Appreciating Peony"."
As he spoke, he read out the whole poem with great pride.
Pei Jinghan nodded slightly when he heard the previous two sentences, and praised him, his expression was calm. When Jinxiu recited "Only the true colors of the peonies, the capital will move when the flowers bloomed", it was like the finishing touch of the painting dragon, and the phoenix suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Jinxiu had already expected this, and Mr. Zou praised him when he heard the poem completely.
Looking at the back of the girl who was thin-skinned and couldn't help but praise her, Jinxiu smiled and asked for praise for her: "How is it, what do you think of the prince?"
Pei Jinghan looked at Su Yue first. Su Yue was shocked and stared at him blankly, with red lips slightly moving.
Pei Jinghan winked at her, then walked towards Chen slowly, and said with a smile: "It is said that a scholar should be separated for three days. He should treat him with admiration. His cousin has such talent and is really ashamed of being seven years old for his brother."
The phoenix eyes stared at her with seemingly approving approval.
Chen Youyou was a little guilty when he first borrowed the poems of Wenhao. Now he was used to it, as if it was what she did. He looked at Pei Jinghan and said shyly: "My cousin praised you, you are both civil and military, and you are thinking about the great things of protecting the country and benefiting the people. I have lived in the boudoir for a long time and have nothing to do. I have more effort on poetry, and it is nothing."
A hint of irony flashed in Pei Jinghan's eyes.
If his cousin is guilty, he can just think that she is vain. It is not a big mistake for a woman to be a little vain. Su Yue also suggested that he cheat the world and steal the reputation? But his cousin uses other people's works to earn talent and reputation, and he can still show no flaws, which shows how thick-skinned and scheming he is.
Pei Jinghan dislikes scheming women the most.
But this is his cousin. The ordinary woman Pei Jinghan didn't bother to lose face. He wouldn't expose her in person when it was her cousin's turn. What's more, Su Yue copied only the broken sentences, and her cousin's hand was more complete, and even had a complete collection of poems.
Pei Jinghan wanted that collection of poems.
"Mr. Zou wants to read other poems from my cousin, but my cousin didn't give it to me. I wonder if I have this honor?" Pei Jinghan asked jokingly.
Chen Youyou looked at him and nodded slightly, "I just hope my cousin finds it ridiculous when he sees it, so don't tell me."
Pei Jinghan laughed loudly.
Chen Youyou also smiled when she turned her head. She knew that these noble men liked art and being good at poetry may not be the most effective way to attract men, but having this advantage is definitely the icing on the cake.
After the flower viewing ended, Pei Jinghan sent Chen Youyouyou back to the villa and harvested a thin booklet.
Pei Jinghan did not return to Lengmei Pavilion, but went to a pavilion and looked down at the booklet.
Su Yue held her chin and held her side by the stone table and read it with him, "Yes, I remember this song, it was a bit difficult to talk about, and I forgot after reading it."
She was cute and cute. Pei Jinghan tilted her head to look at it, and couldn't help but kiss her white cheeks.
Su Yue's face turned red and she immediately took a few steps back.
Pei Jinghan sighed, turned to look at her, leaning against the stone table, "Don't tell others about this."
Su Yue never expected Pei Jinghan to give up her beautiful cousin because of some poems. After all, Chen Youyou's methods are more than just poetry. He said: "Don't worry, Prince, I understand. The cousin is just a moment of confusion. In fact, if I hadn't studied too little, it would have been easy to get into trouble, maybe..."
He laughed and looked at Pei Jinghan with a "you understand" look, playing and clever.
It seems smart, but it is actually stupid.
Pei Jinghan likes smart and innocent girls, and can't help but want to tell her what she is saying, "Do you know why I didn't expose her?"
Su Yue smiled slightly and turned her head and said, "The prince can't bear to be embarrassed by the cousin..."
Pei Jinghan expected that she would think so. He smiled and held her hand, put her hard into his arms, skillfully carried the person to his legs, hugged her waist and said, "I want to get that collection of poems. It's all your fault. If you recited it, I'd still find a way to ask her little by little?"
"I'm not a talented woman..."
God proved that Su Yue really didn't intend to slander Chen Youyou, she just wanted to say that she was not a talented woman and didn't have such a good memory. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she felt that this was easy to misunderstand. Seeing Pei Jinghan laughing more obviously, Su Yue quickly bit her lips and endured her laughing, defending herself: "I'm not talking about her..."
She smiled like a fox. Pei Jinghan didn't believe that she didn't mean it, but she was not angry. She pinched her waist hard and acted as punishment.
Su Yue felt pain, and with a whine, Xinyue frowned.
Pei Jinghan frowned and suddenly remembered something, "In the garden, why did Jinxiu say unhappy you?"
Su Yue was stunned, looked at him, lowered her head and said, "Nothing."
Pei Jinghan raised her chin and said, "Say."
Su Yue glanced at him and said like a mosquito: "I envy her for being with her cousin for a long time. She must be valued by her cousin. She also envied me, saying that the prince will give me a title in the future..."
The little maid lowered her head shyly, and Pei Jinghan coaxed her with her mouth, but her heart felt unhappy.
Jinxiu is clearly testing her cousin.
