"Take off your clothes."
Shen Shijiu suddenly tightened the collar of his clothes and hesitantly said, "Should I take it off here?"
"Your clothes are wet, change them."
Pei Zheng threw a few pieces of clothes into the box beside him. There were all kinds of clothes, from inside to outside. These were the clothes prepared by Louge.
"oh."
Shen Shijiu obediently walked to the bed and began to unbutton his outer robe. He quickly took it off and then took off his inner clothes.
Pei Zheng paused as he looked at his back, turned his eyes away slightly, and pinched his eyebrows.
"You, go change."
"oh."
Shen Shijiu climbed onto the bed obediently, his crooked collar rubbed against his shoulders and was about to slide down.
Pei Zheng walked over quickly and let down the curtain of the **, and the small figure was blocked inside.
"Brother Pei," Shen Shijiu suddenly poked his head out from behind the bed curtains, "It's so dark in there, I can't see anything."
Pei Zheng pressed his head back and slightly opened the bed curtain for him.
"It's cold outside, get dressed quickly."
"Okay."
There was a rustling sound of someone putting on clothes from inside.
After a long time, Shen Shijiu still hadn't put on his clothes, and he stuck his head out again.
"Brother Pei"
"Um?"
“I won’t wear this dress.”
Shen Shijiu looked at Pei Zheng for help, holding his collar with one hand and supporting the edge of the bed with the other.
Pei Zheng narrowed his eyes and sighed slightly.
"Come here, I'll help you."
Shen Shijiu curved his eyebrows, jumped down from the bed, and stood in front of Pei Zheng.
The laces of this dress actually have to be tied from the back. No wonder Shen Shijiu said he didn't know how to wear it, because he couldn't reach it at all.
Pei Zheng straightened his collar, then helped him fasten his belt from behind, and then pulled his outer robe over and put it on him.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs.
Shen Shijiu ran downstairs first and opened the door, and the wind and snow outside suddenly blew in.
Pei Zheng followed behind him and pulled him behind him when the cold wind blew in.
Standing outside the door was Pei Zheng's servant, and he was not surprised at all to see Shen Shijiu.
"Sir, Mr. Shen, the banquet over there is ready, and everyone else is preparing to go over there. Master Qian told me that he must have you there."
Pei Zheng said "hmm".
The servant said, "Sir, when I came here just now, I saw Qian Xiao, the young master of Qian in the daytime. From what I saw, his leg seemed to be a little injured."
Shen Shijiu asked, "Is he injured?"
The servant glanced at Pei Zheng and smiled at Shen Jiujiu, "Master Shen, I don't know about this, but that Young Master Qian is so arrogant, maybe he has offended someone again."
Shen Shijiu nodded.
But in fact, the servant knew in his heart that Qian Xiao was beaten by the owner of the Qianzhuang because he conveyed a few words to the owner of the Qianzhuang on behalf of his master.
At this time, the sky outside had already turned completely dark, but the heavy snow was still falling without stopping. The entire villa was covered with snow, a pure white scene.
The banquet was held in a pavilion. The hall was bright and warm with lights on. Many people were already sitting inside.
As soon as Pei Zheng stepped in, he attracted the attention of everyone present.
The owner of the Qian Manor came over and said, "Master Pei is here. Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could send someone to greet him? It's snowing heavily outside."
Pei Zheng took off his cloak and said, "It's okay."
Seeing how cold he was, Mr. Qian didn't know how to continue talking.
She saw Shen Shijiu who was following Pei Zheng, looked at him for several times, and then felt the warning look from Pei Zheng, and she immediately understood.
"This must be Mr. Shen, right? I am really sorry for what happened today. My son offended you, but I have already punished him. Please don't take it to heart."
After saying this, Master Qian pulled Qian Xiao, who was sitting next to him, up from his seat and said, "Hurry up and apologize to Master Shen!"
Qian Xiao lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry."
"Louder!"
Qian Xiao raised his head and shouted, "Excuse me!"
This shout scared Shen Shijiu so much that he said blankly, "No, it's okay."
Qian Xiao then sat back in his seat.
"Master Pei, Master Shen, please come this way."
The owner of the bank led the two of them to the front seat, which was reserved for the most distinguished guests.
After Pei Zheng sat down, he patted the seat next to him, and Shen Shijiu followed suit and sat down obediently.
Pei Zheng looked across and saw that the person sitting opposite him was none other than Zhao Litang.
Besides Wu Quan, Yue Nu and Shen Huan were also sitting next to Zhao Litang.
When Shen Huan saw Pei Zheng and Shen Shijiu, he looked very happy. After saying something to Zhao Litang, he ran over and squeezed himself between Pei Zheng and Shen Shijiu.
"My little disciple, please move to the side."
"Oh." Shen Shijiu really moved away a little, so that he was further away from Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng's face turned noticeably colder. He tapped the table with his fingers without saying a word.
Shen Huan pretended not to see it. He rummaged through his sleeves for a long time and then took out something mysteriously and showed it to Shen Shijiu.
"My little disciple, look, what is this?"
Shen Shijiu looked at the unknown herb in Shen Huan's hand and shook his head.
"Stupid! This is the magic sand grass!"
"Magic Sand Grass?" Shen Shijiu's voice was a little louder, and Shen Huan hurriedly covered his mouth.
"Keep your voice down so no one can hear you."
"Master," Shen Shijiu asked in a very low voice, "how did you get it?"
Shen Huan thought about the wording, "Yes, I borrowed it. My little disciple, let me tell you, with this, I can develop a device to restore memory.
The medicine is here, and you can recover your memory! How about it! Are you happy or not! "
"happy."
But Shen Shijiu didn't seem as happy as Shen Huan.
Although the conversation between the master and the disciple was not loud, Pei Zheng, who was sitting next to them, heard it clearly.
Recover memory
He was slightly dazed, and the wine glass in his hand was crushed without him noticing.
The wine splashed out and did not fall on Pei Zheng's robe, but instead all spilled on Shen Huan's clothes.
"Master Pei, you did this on purpose!"
Shen Huan said with a smile while gritting her teeth, then she had to stand up and follow a servant to change clothes.
"grown ups… "
Without Shen Huan's obstruction, Shen Shijiu slowly moved back, "I know you didn't mean it."
Pei Zheng looked at him and smiled, then poured another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
There were several people gathered around Zhao Litang's table opposite, including Lord Qian and Lord Wei.
They were chatting and laughing, clinking glasses, and it seemed like they were having a good time.
Looking at Pei Zheng's side, it was deserted.
Pei Zheng was also keeping an eye on what was happening on Zhao Litang's side.
Lord Qian and Lord Wei both had smiles on their faces. They didn't expect that the conversation with Zhao Litang would be so smooth. This General Zhao was indeed easy to talk to.
Lord Wei said, "General Zhao, then this matter is settled. I will let my daughter go to your house to learn some basic skills as training."
Zhao Litang replied, "Sure, I will ask the best soldiers to teach Miss Wei some Kung Fu, which can be used for both self-defense and physical fitness."
"Then I would like to thank General Zhao on behalf of my daughter."
Lord Wei looked at his daughter as he spoke, but Wei Yiren must have been secretly staring in Pei Zheng's direction and didn't notice her father's warning look at all.
The adults chatted with Zhao Litang for a long time, then they exchanged glances and decided to go and meet Pei Zheng.
Several people went towards Pei Zheng with smiles on their faces.
As soon as the person left, Zhao Litang sat back in his seat, drank several glasses of warm wine, and coughed twice.
Yue Nu, who was sitting next to him, was very quiet and didn't move at all.
When someone passed by, he accidentally touched Yue Nu. It was clearly a very light touch, but Yue Nu could not withstand it and her body shook.
Wu Quan kindly helped him up, but was scalded by the temperature of his body.
"General, Yue Nu's body is very hot. She may have a fever."
Zhao Litang glanced at the groggy Yue Nu and asked, "Can you still hold on?"
Yue Nu straightened up with great effort, sat back down, and said softly, "Yes."
But he looked like he might faint any second.
"Didn't you take drugs this afternoon? How did it turn out like this?"
Wu Quan said, "It might be because of the heavy snow and wind on the way here. He was weak and his clothes were not very windproof, so he felt hot."
Only then did Zhao Litang see the clothes Yue Nu was wearing. Not even a piece of clothing could block the wind. She looked cold.
When he wanted to say something else, the owner of Qianzhuang came over with a wine glass.
After the two of them talked for a few words, Zhao Litang sat back down.
Yue Nu's brain had been burned and he lost consciousness. His body swayed, and he fell down with a thud.
Zhao Litang lifted him up with one hand, and as soon as he touched his body, he was burned.
"Why is it so hot?"
Wu Quan quickly took Yue Nu's pulse and said, "General, the fever is too high. You need to reduce the fever quickly, otherwise you will get sick from the fever!"
Zhao Litang held the hot ball in his arms, and his heart was a little confused.
If he had known that so many problems would happen after saving this child, he would still have saved him.
After wrapping his cloak around Yue Nu, Zhao Litang picked her up and carried her sideways, then hurried out of the banquet hall.
Wu Quan explained everything to the owner of Qianzhuang and several other adults and was about to leave with them. He happened to meet Shen Huan who had just changed his clothes. He was immediately delighted and pulled Shen Huan out.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! I just came in!"
"Master Shen! Human life is at stake! Please come with me!"
Shen Shijiu waited and waited at his seat, but his master didn't come back, but he did wait for those adults to come.
Those people wanted to take this opportunity to chat with Pei Zheng, but as soon as they called "Master Pei", they were swept over by Pei Zheng's gloomy eyes one by one, and they swallowed back their words.
After everyone toasted with a glass of wine, they dispersed.
Then Lord Qian and Lord Wei got together.
"This Pei Zheng, calling him Lord Pei is just giving him face, does he think he is still the all-powerful Prime Minister? Don't you realize how long it has been since you last saw the Emperor?"
"That's right. Look, he's only in his twenties. We should all be his elders, right? It's really uncultured to put on a cold face in front of an elder!"
"He is uneducated, isn't he? He grew up outside until he was a teenager before being adopted by the Pei family. His temperament has already been formed. No matter how powerful the Pei family is, they can't warm up a heartless person!"
"I see, it turns out that he was born by his mother but not raised by her."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wine glass flew over and hit Lord Qian on the head with a "bang", causing blood to flow out of his head instantly.
Lord Qian fell to the ground, holding his head in pain. Lord Wei saw him and shouted, "Who! Who threw the wine glass? Who did it?"
With a "whoosh", a chopstick flew over again and pierced directly into Lord Wei's hair crown, making his hair messy.
Everyone present was frightened, and the women did not dare to say a word.
Pei Zheng slowly stood up from his seat.
His seat was not far from Lord Qian and Lord Wei, and coincidentally, he knew a little bit of lip reading.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so uneducated."
Lord Qian and Lord Wei were both stiff, one fell to the ground bleeding profusely, and the other stood in the middle of the lobby with messy hair like a madman.
Pei Zheng curled the corners of his lips slightly and walked towards the two people.
"Oh, and I have no heart and no mother."
He walked up to where Lord Wei was standing, reached out his hand and kindly took the chopsticks off his hair crown for him, then played with them in his hand for a few seconds.
"So, you two should be careful when you see me next time."
He said all these words with a smile, but it made people feel cold all over, even more terrifying than the freezing cold outside.
Pei Zheng didn't stop and continued walking. When he reached the door, he stopped and looked back at everyone in the lobby.
Everyone quickly shifted their gaze away, not daring to stare at Pei Zheng anymore.
Except for one person.
Pei Zheng hooked his finger at the man, and a small figure hurriedly ran over from his seat and ran to his side.
On the surface, everyone in the hall respected Pei Zheng very much. They were afraid of him, but in fact, they had the greatest malice towards him.
And the only one who can treat him with the most sincere heart is probably the little person next to him.
In front of everyone, Pei Zheng took Shen Shijiu's hand and threw the wooden chopsticks in his hand back casually. Lord Wei in the hall also fell to the ground, covering his feet.
Then Pei Zheng took Shen Shijiu's hand and walked out of the door, into the overwhelming snowstorm.
He didn't have a good reputation to begin with anyway, so what's the harm in having one more
The cold wind was raging outside and the snow had piled up very thickly, making a crunching sound when you stepped on it.
The huge villa was deserted. Under the cold moonlight, with snow all over the sky, only two people were walking slowly.
When Shen Shijiu stepped on the snow, it was above his ankles.
After walking for a few steps, Pei Zheng suddenly stopped.
"Are you cold?"
“It’s not cold!”
But his little hands were cold.
Pei Zheng stood in front of him and leaned forward slightly.
Shen Shijiu was confused, "Brother Pei"
"Come on up, I'll carry you."
Shen Shijiu curved his eyebrows and lay down obediently.
Pei Zheng carried the little man on his back and walked on the snow. The original two sets of footprints now only had one set left, winding in the snow.
"Brother Pei, don't pay attention to them, they are just talking nonsense."
Pei Zheng said "hmm" lightly.
"You are not what they say you are. You are a very good person, but they just don't know it."
"Really? How do you know what they say isn't true?"
Shen Shijiu hugged Pei Zheng and lay softly on his back, "I just know"
Pei Zheng smiled and dragged his body.
After walking all the way back to the three-story pavilion, Pei Zheng put the little man down from his back.
The little snowman in front of the pavilion was still there. Shen Shijiu ran over and picked up the snowman.
"Brother Pei, this is for you."
Pei Zheng reached out to take it. The snowman had melted a lot in their hands, and slowly it could no longer be seen as a snowman.
Shen Shijiu raised his head and said, "Brother Pei, it's okay, I'll make another one for you tomorrow, so don't be sad, okay
Pei Zheng smiled, "I'm not sad."
Shen Shijiu pursed his lips, "You do, even though you don't say it, but I know you do."
The snowman had completely melted, soaking Pei Zheng's hands.
Shen Shijiu suddenly got into Pei Zheng's arms and hugged his waist tightly, "Let me hug you, will you feel happier?"
Pei Zheng hugged him back, kicked open the door of the room and walked in.
There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, which was very warm. The snowflakes on their bodies melted away and wet their robes.
"Are you feeling happier?"
Shen Shijiu asked again, lying softly on Pei Zheng's chest, looking up at him with wet eyes.
"have."
Pei Zheng's voice was hoarse.
More than a little...
Shen Shijiu rubbed his chest, seeming to think seriously about how to make Pei Zheng happier.
He suddenly stood on tiptoe and tried to move his little face closer to Pei Zheng.
Pei Zheng stood still, watching the little man in front of him secretly exerting his strength, and couldn't help but smile.
"What do you want to do?"
Shen Shijiu's face was slightly red, but she mustered up the courage not to dodge, "I'm not doing anything, Brother Pei, can you lower yourself a little?"
"Hmm?" Pei Zheng lowered his head slightly when he heard him.
With a "peck", something soft pecked my lips.
After the kiss, the little guy was so embarrassed that he quickly buried his face in Pei Zheng's chest and refused to lift it up again.
Pei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then touched the corner of his lips, and a smile spread out at the corner of his eyes.
"What are you hiding for? Keep your head up."
Shen Shijiu said sullenly, "I don't want it."
"Lift it up so I can see it, ok?"
Pei Zheng pinched his red earlobe and said, "Be good, I want to see it."
He reached out his fingers and lifted up the little guy's drooping chin. His fair face was covered with blushes, and his pretty features seemed wet with dew. His eyes were full of water, and he looked like he didn't know whether to cry or not.
Pei Zheng's cold heart also melted into water. He lowered his head and kissed those red lips, and his fingers slid into the little girl's collar.
"You have to take off your wet clothes, or you'll get sick, right?"
Shen Shijiu was bewitched by the low and gentle voice and nodded obediently, "Yes"
Pei Zheng's scent of alcohol had already lingered between his lips and teeth, and the mellow aroma lingered around his body, making him feel dizzy.
Pei Zheng had already easily stripped off his outer robe and threw it aside, then lowered his head to look for that sweetness again.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door and heard two people talking.
"Miss Wei! Miss Wei, you can't go in! My lord, my lord has gone to bed! Please come back tomorrow!"
"Nonsense! The light is still on inside. It doesn't matter if the master didn't wait for me. Can't I just come to find the master myself? I just said one sentence and then I left.
"Miss Wei! You really can't barge in!"
"Get out of my way!"
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the wind and snow swept in instantly.
Wei Yiren stood at the door and was about to speak, but was shocked by the scene in the room. She stared with her eyes wide open and couldn't utter a word.
Pei Zheng's clothes were slightly disheveled, his outer robe had loosened to his shoulders, and the person in his arms was even thinner, with her inner shirt lifted to her waist, revealing a large part of her fair and slender waist. Now, because of the cold wind, she huddled up in the warm embrace.
Pei Zheng raised his eyes and looked over. Clearly there was still some lust in his eyes, but the look he gave Wei Yiren was sinister and terrifying.
"Master Pei, I, I have something to tell you."
"go out."
These two light words revealed a bone-chilling coldness.
Wei Yiren's eyes were red and she clenched her fingers tightly. The words that she had not said were blocked in her chest and there was no possibility of her speaking them out.
Pei Zheng glanced at the servant standing next to him, and the meaning of his eyes was self-evident.
The servant didn't care about anything else and just grabbed Wei Yiren and dragged her out of the door.
Just as the door was about to close, a voice was heard from inside.
"Don't let me see you again."
After the door closed, Shen Shijiu poked his head out and asked, "Are you gone?"
Pei Zheng picked him up and carried him sideways.
"Let's go, let's continue."
Shen Shijiu didn't understand what the word "continue" meant. He just felt his head becoming more and more dizzy. He felt light and fluttery for a while, and then he felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
The wind and snow were still raging outside, but it was spring time inside.
When Pei Zheng stopped to ask Shen Shijiu, the little guy was dazed and could only nod slightly.
Then everything returned to calm until dawn.
Pei Zheng felt soft in his heart as he looked at the little guy who had fallen asleep with tears in his eyes.
Who said he is heartless
Isn't this his sweetheart
After covering the little guy with a quilt, Pei Zheng got up and went to the terrace.
The sky was turning pale, the heavy snow had stopped, and it was freezing cold outside.
Someone was walking towards the pavilion on the snow. It was the servant.
But he stopped in front of the building door, obviously hesitant and not daring to disturb the people in the building.
He looked up along the pavilion and happened to see his master standing on the second floor.
"grown ups"
The servant called out softly, "The lake outside is frozen, and we can't leave this morning. The owner of the manor wants you to stay in the manor for a few more days.
