Chapter 170 Mountain Top
From then on, Zheng Miao changed his name to Pei Miao and lived with Pei Jingshu in the Prince of Yan's Mansion, living in Qinxiang Garden where Pei Jingshu lived before she got married.
That day, Pei Jingshu brought Pei Miao to Tingxueju to talk with Xie Zhichan, and Pei Jingyu was also sitting next to them.
Lin brought her maids here to deliver the cloth for making autumn clothes.
Xie Zhichan now also runs a clothing store. After just a few glances at the cloth, he knew that the cloth Lin brought was not of good quality.
Then he smiled and said to Lin: "I know that the princess is in charge of the food supply of this huge Yanwang Mansion. It is really hard work, and it is inevitable that there are things that she cannot take care of. Some servants think that the princess can't see it, so they think of using inferior goods as good ones. I see that the cloth sent by the princess looks like last year's stock."
Lin smiled wryly and said, "Don't you know that Jiangnan was hit by a disaster this year? Jiangnan is an important weaving base, and the best fabrics are all woven in Jiangnan. Naturally, there is no fabric left this year, so we can only use last year's stock first."
Pei Jingshu stared at Lin and said, "Does your princess think that everyone doesn't understand the market situation of the weaving industry in Jiangnan? Jiangnan did suffer from floods this year, but the best silk comes from spring silkworms. The spring silkworms in Jiangnan don't last long after being harvested. By summer, they have become silk cloth. Your princess should not be fooled by the servants."
Lin glared at the maid next to her and said, "You coward, you are becoming even more useless now. You actually let the servants deceive me!"
The old woman was Lin's personal nanny. After hearing what she said, she naturally knew that Lin was just trying to save face and make her take the blame.
But as a servant, it was one of her duties to take the blame for her master, so she silently agreed, saying that the purchasing staff was careless and she would punish them severely when she returned.
Xie Zhichan, Pei Jingshu and others were too lazy to watch Lin's performance and turned around and went back to their room.
Lin was still in the courtyard scolding the nanny: "What's the point of just punishing her? Why don't you go back and check if there are any better ones? Select a few of the best ones and send them to the courtyard of Tingxueju."
The nanny responded and left.
Seeing that Xie Zhichan, Pei Jingshu and others ignored her, Lin left in anger and annoyance.
Not long after, Xie Zhichan heard that a servant had brought new cloth.
Xie Zhichan accepted it without hesitation. This was what Tingxueju deserved, and it would not be given to the Lin family for free.
However, this incident made Xie Zhichan notice Pei Jingshu's ability, and he came up with an idea.
He discussed with Pei Jingshu and asked her to bring Pei Miao with him to help Pei Yi manage the business of several silk shops.
Now that Pei Yi has recovered, he would go to the Pei family army camp outside the capital from time to time to supervise the training of new recruits.
When he returned home today, thinking that his eldest sister had returned and lived here for some time, he went to Qinxiang Garden to ask if there was any inconvenience or discomfort so that the servants could make timely adjustments.
Pei Jingshu personally brewed a pot of tea for Pei Yi, sat down on the chair beside him, and said with a smile: "After all, Prince Yan's Mansion is my home. How can I be uncomfortable in my own home? Just take care of your own business and don't worry about me anymore."
She also told Pei Yi that Xie Zhichan asked her to help manage the silk shop business.
"I know that Ayuan is thinking about me. She not only gives me something to do, but also gives me the ability to make a living, so that I can live more comfortably in my mother's house. I didn't say it, but I am very grateful to her in my heart."
Pei Yi was also moved after hearing this, nodded and said, "I know she is a good person."
Pei Jingshu was an experienced person. She knew at a glance that Pei Yi and Ayuan had not yet consummated their marriage. She smiled and reminded him, "Ayuan is a good girl. You must catch her and give birth to a brother or sister as soon as possible. The eldest sister is not busy at all and can help you take care of the children."
Pei Yi didn't know why his elder sister brought up the topic of him, so he said to Pei Jingshu, "Don't worry, she will be your only sister in this life."
Pei Jingshu was very happy to see Pei Yi's determined expression. Although her marriage was bumpy, she hoped that her brother and sister-in-law would be successful and find a good partner, so that they could spend a long time together.
Now that Pei Yi's lifelong event has been settled, only Jingyu is left. She can only pray in her heart to the Mother Consort in Heaven, hoping that she can bless Jingyu and help her find her ideal husband.
After the beginning of autumn, the people of Kyoto hold a sky lantern festival every year to pray to the gods for a good harvest.
Pei Yi then took Xie Zhichan to Yuxian Mountain to release sky lanterns.
Sitting on a large rock on the top of the mountain, overlooking the bustling lights of the night market in Kyoto, Xie Zhichan looked at the people around her and felt a sense of reality that she had never felt before, that she was living in this era.
Pei Yi looked at Xie Zhichan's face under the lamp, smiled and said to her: "Ayuan, thank you for my elder sister's matter."
Xie Zhichang said: "Since she is your elder sister, she is also my elder sister. Since she is one of our own, I will of course take care of her for you. Besides, I like Miaomiao very much as well."
As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of hot and wet lips pressed against hers, blocking all the unfinished words she had to say.
Pei Yi let her go only when she felt she couldn't breathe, his eyes filled with passion.
Pei Yi stared at Xie Zhichan and asked, "Ayuan, do you like children?"
Although Pei Yi only asked a simple question, Xie Zhichan still understood what he meant.
She said to Pei Yi: "I don't like it."
This was not a lie. She really didn't like children. They were naughty and stubborn and often wouldn't listen to reason. They were probably the most noisy and troublesome species in the world.
Just as Pei Yi's mouth corners drooped and his expression became ugly, she smiled faintly and said, "But if it is your child and mine, then I will definitely love him with my life."
The light in Pei Yi's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he stared at Xie Zhichan intently and asked, "Ayuan, is this true?"
Xie Zhichan nodded: "Yes."
Pei Yi looked at Xie Zhichan and said seriously, "Then - let's have a baby."
Xie Zhichan looked around.
She and Pei Yi are now on the top of the mountain.
The mountain road of Yuxian Mountain only reaches halfway up the mountain. She and Pei Yi climbed up using light skills, so no one would disturb them here.
She looked at Pei Yi with a somewhat strange look, as if she was sizing him up seriously, hoping to see clearly what was going on in his head.
I thought to myself, "Is this guy serious? He wants to do it in the tent for the first time. Is it so exciting?"
She asked Pei Yi hesitantly, "Are you talking about here?"
Pei Yi finally understood what Xie Zhichan was thinking and why he looked at him with such a strange look. He immediately laughed and pinched Xie Zhichan's face: "Stupid, of course it's not here. Who do you think I am?"
He took her hand again and said, "Let's go home now. I have prepared a surprise for you."
After saying that, he put his arm around Xie Zhichan's waist, displayed his light Kung Fu, stepped on the treetops in the mountains and forests, and soon descended Yuxian Mountain and drove the carriage back to Prince Yan's Mansion.
