Chapter 159 The Person He Admires

Pei Xian's clear and magnetic voice opened his lips: "Long time no see, how are you doing lately? The last time I met by chance in the provincial capital, I couldn't say hello to you."

Even if he was a grandpa, Pei Xian was still handsome and handsome. The years did not leave any weather on his face, but instead added a mature charm, which made Cui Shun'er unable to look away and stared at him with blurred eyes.

Seeing that she was staring at him non-stop, Pei Xian mistakenly thought that she still hated him, so he couldn't help explaining embarrassingly: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to follow you, but I just happened to be in the provincial capital, so I stopped by here to have a look , maybe it was because I stayed here for a few months before, which made me feel very cordial."

He concealed something, he didn't just drop by, but he made a special trip to see her.

Cui Shun'er slowly retracted her gaze. Not long ago, she was recalling that Pei Xian married another two years later in her previous life. Now this man suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, which made her feel particularly distressed and wronged. But since she decided to return to the bridge, Since they don't owe each other, she has to maintain her superficial face and reply politely, pretending to be calm.

"Wherever your lord wants to go, it's not a matter for women to interfere, so let's just leave it alone." She pursed her lips tightly, her tone was calm, but her dark eyes were like thick fog that could not be melted away.

Pei Xian's throat rolled, and he hesitated to speak. Seeing that she was going to leave without any hesitation, he felt a strong reluctance at that moment, but he couldn't stretch out his long arms to hold her.

The setting sun was about to fall completely, and there were no lights on the roadside. A carriage was galloping on the road, and when it approached the groom, it saw pedestrians, but it was too late to slow down.

Cui Shun'er's mind was full of that man, and she didn't care about the outside voice at all. When she realized it, her feet were so heavy that she couldn't dodge immediately.

At the very moment, Pei Xian grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, causing Cui Shun'er to crash into his warm and firm chest.

The coachman sighed for the danger and wanted to apologize, but this scene was really do not look at the indecent, so he had to rush away.

Cui Shun'er was stunned for a while, Pei Xian let go of his arm in embarrassment, and immediately asked: "Are you okay?"

Cui Shun'er also pretended to be stupid, as if nothing happened just now, but her tone improved a lot, and she replied, "I'm fine, I was a little scared, but it's okay."

When Pei Xian heard the words, he said firmly: "It's not safe on the road when it's dark, and it's easy to be in danger if you go home alone, I'll take you back."

Faced with the man's kindness, the woman wanted to refuse directly, but her words changed after she blurted out, and agreed to his request in a strange way.

The atmosphere was tense on the way, Cui Shun'er remained silent, Pei Xian was concerned, and asked suspiciously: "By the way, I just went to Xiahe Village and found that your old house has been built as a warehouse, and there are still burning houses around it." traces, what's going on?"

"A fire broke out in the old house a few years ago, so I had to drag my family and move out there, and bought a new house in the county town to live in." Cui Shuner replied succinctly.

Pei Xian's interest suddenly rose, and he asked her what the newly bought house was like, and whether there was a housewarming ceremony.

Cui Shun'er only felt the noise in her ears, but he saved her just now, so she turned her face now and became a white-eyed wolf, so she could only reply patiently.

After a while, they came to an elegant and unique mansion. Cui Shun'er stopped and started to evict the guests: "I'm home, you can go back."

Pei Xian lived in the county town last year, and he knew that this house was spacious and grand, and it had been vacant all the time. Now the clinker has become the new residence of the Pei family. Swipe to choose this big house.

A sense of admiration suddenly rose in the man's heart. In fact, he had heard more or less about the success of the Pei family before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Back then, he thought that Cui Shun'er was a village woman, but she was smart and smart. Staying in the countryside was just burying her talent. , now that she is breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, it is not only reasonable, but also unexpected.

When Pei Xian left the county seat, he curiously asked his subordinates about the changes in the Pei family this year.

The subordinates secretly inquired about the details of the Pei family's fortune, so they explained the details of the future in detail, and Pei Xian's eyebrows twitched. He felt inexplicably sorry for this orphan and widowed family. It's hard to imagine the pain of pulling big.

However, even though her family was so poor and bad, she was not willing to be a peasant woman. She even used her clever idea to start a business. In just one year, she went from nothing to now everywhere. This made Pei Zheng suddenly feel that it was inappropriate to describe her as a peasant woman. .

Recalling the get-together tonight, Pei Xian looked dazed, looking forward to meeting again, even sleeping at night, dreaming of the life he and Cui Shun'er spent together in Pei's old house, it was clearly a false dream, but it was extremely real, just like It really happened to him, in his past.

Dameng woke up with a start, sweating profusely, Pei Xian touched his forehead with mixed emotions in his heart.

After returning to the provincial capital, Pei Xian put all his thoughts on proctoring the exam, forcing himself not to think about it.

A few days later, it was the day of the Peiquan County Examination. Cui Shun'er had already prepared the test supplies for the child, and during this period, she should have been telling Pei Quan to stay in the room and study at ease, and let the mother do any other trivial matters. to worry about.

The whole mansion was quiet and quiet, no one dared to make a big noise, for fear that Pei Quan would get a good name in the exam, and even the always noisy Brother Mai would shut up one after another, only dared to go outside and play wildly instead of making noise at home .

Although it was Pei Quan's exam, Cui Shun'er was the most nervous. On the one hand, she felt that Pei Quan should inherit the talent of her father, Pei Xian, and achieve something.

Although she failed the rankings this time, she can continue to work hard in the future, but Cui Shun'er still wanted to pass this time, so as not to have long nights and dreams, so she went to a temple where the wish was rumored to come true, and when she was about to burn incense and worship Buddha, her hair was gray A monk came over and asked, "What wish did you come to make?"

Cui Shun'er replied truthfully: "May my son go well in this imperial examination and be on the list."

The monk counted with his fingers, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "This benefactor, you were miserable in the previous life and received the mercy of the Buddha. In this life, you will be surrounded by lucky stars and have good fortune. What you ask for will surely be granted."

Cui Shun'er was shocked, what the mage said was true, she quickly thanked her and left the temple happily.

Not long after, when the test results came down, Pei Quan also lived up to his expectations. He got excellent rankings in all five exams. Cui Shun'er asked him how he was doing in the exam. Real materials, of course, can perform exceptionally well, and it is absolutely no problem to be on the list.”
