Pei Qingyan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
The emperor didn't want to hear what he wanted to say.
He would never say what the emperor wanted him to say.
Is war or peace?
It seems to be a battle between generals, but in fact it is a battle between parties. He, Pei Qingyan, is a lone minister and a neutral faction. He has always been unwilling to get involved in the interest disputes. Therefore, the emperor's words are not asking his opinion, but testing him. , test him.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Emperor Duanming asked, "Why, you don't know what to choose?"
Pei Qingyan knelt on the ground with his head and said in a deep voice: "I am your Majesty's close minister. I will be chosen as Your Majesty chooses."
Emperor Duanming: "..."
He sat above and looked at Pei Qingyan.
This nephew he has loved since childhood.
Once, we were so close to him, but now we are getting further and further apart.
He was silent for a while and then said: "That's all, this shouldn't be difficult for you, just get up."
After Pei Qingyan got up, he said again: "I'm tired. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow. Fuquan, please help me go back to the palace to rest."
"Yes."
Eunuch Fuquan stepped forward quickly, helped Emperor Duanming and left.
When Pei Qingyan saw this, he naturally couldn't say any more.
After coming out of the palace, he suddenly wanted to see Song Anning.
For no reason, I just wanted to know where she was and what she was doing.
Pei Qingyan set off for Qingzhou that night.
On the Qingzhou side, under the leadership of Song Anning, the fortification work was in full swing.
On the third day, Song Anning was extremely surprised when Pei Qingyan arrived.
"How did you come?"
Pei Qingyan smiled, "I wanted to see you, so I came."
Song Anning couldn't help but blush.
From the time they met until now, their expressions have always been reserved and restrained. This was the first time she had seen him be so arrogant.
After Pei Qingyan finished speaking, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shen Jiao came over at this time.
She was not surprised to see Pei Qingyan here and said with a smile: "Master Pei is here. I just want to go out. You and Ning'er sit here. I leave all the business in the store to shopkeeper Huang. Ning'er , please stay with Mr. Pei for a while, and there is no need to rush there."
Song Anning was a little surprised, "Mom, where are you going?"
Shen Jiao patted her hand and said, "It's not very safe outside now. Your grandparents are old and your uncle's business is in the north. There's nothing they can do now, so my mother thought of taking them over first." , the family is together anyway, and if anything happens, there will be someone to take care of us."
After a pause, she felt a little uneasy.
"This matter happened in a hurry. I haven't had time to tell your father yet. Ning'er, you don't mind, do you?"
Song Anning smiled and said, "Why would I mind?"
She turned her head and looked outside, thought for a while and said: "Mom, let me pick up my grandparents and uncle on your behalf. You have worked hard all day, so just stay at home and stop running around. Pei Qingyan and I will go pick them up together." .”
After saying that, Pei Qingyan walked out.
Shen Jiao was stunned and made her laugh and cry.
"Hey, you don't even know which gate they came in from, how can you pick them up?"
"I know, grandma's house is in the south, so you must come in through the south door."
As she said this, she pulled Pei Qingyan and ran away.
Shen Jiao burst into laughter.
After running out of the Song family, someone prepared a carriage. Song Anning told the boy that he would go on behalf of his mother, and the two got in the carriage.
After getting on the carriage, Pei Qingyan asked, "Why are you running so fast? It's like someone is chasing you."
Song Anning glared at him.
"You still have the nerve to say that, if it weren't for you, I would be..."
As for being so embarrassed?
Song Anning didn't want to say anything more, so she just said: "Okay, you can be more discerning in a moment. Although my parents don't have any objections to you, my grandma doesn't necessarily think so. Don't lose your sense of proportion."
Pei Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
"I don't quite understand what Ning'er means. What is propriety? What kind of propriety do you mean?"
He said, leaning closer.
Song Anning's face turned red inexplicably.
She spat at him and pushed him away, "Just forget it if you don't know."
Pei Qingyan couldn't help but laugh when he saw her shy and angry look.
Fortunately, Pei Qingyan really knows how to measure things.
Not long after, the two received the Shen family outside the south gate of the city.
Shen Jiao was the only older brother, and his parents were still alive. Although Song Jianing had not stayed with them since childhood, they had not seen each other for so many years, so it was not like they were strangers when they met again, and they quickly became familiar with each other.
Pei Qingyan smiled and came forward to say hello.
"Junior Pei Qingyan has met the two elders of the Shen family and his uncle."
All three were stunned.
"Uh, this is..."
Song Anning's eyes wandered.
"He, he is a friend of my granddaughter, uh... just a friend."
At the end of the sentence, Song Anning couldn't speak anymore.
I imagined myself to be very courageous, but when it came time to introduce myself, I still had to bite the bullet.
Fortunately, the Shen family are very transparent people.
Since this person could come to pick them up with Ning'er, it meant that he was approved by the Song family and his wife. They all approved it, and the Shen family naturally didn't say anything more, so they smiled and pulled Pei Qingyan into the carriage and went back.
Along the way, everyone was not curious about Song Anning, but they were very curious about Pei Qingyan.
From the city gate all the way back to the Song family, on the way they found out Pei Qingyan's identity, occupation, hobbies, and the process of getting acquainted with Song Anning, just short of digging into the tomb of his eighteenth generation ancestor.
Even Song Anning couldn't stand it.
Pei Qingyan was very good-tempered and answered them one by one, as if he couldn't feel the offence.
When they arrived home, Uncle Shen's family gave Song Anning a thumbs up secretly.
This is considered to be recognition of this person.
Song Anning's face turned red and her ears were hot.
Shen Jiao was naturally very happy to see her parents and brothers.
In the evening, he ordered someone to cook a large table of dishes, but he did not let Pei Qingyan avoid suspicion and immediately left him to eat with his family.
Pei Qingyan was not polite either.
During the dinner, Shen Jiao was quite moved.
"Now the north is in complete chaos. The imperial army cannot defeat the northern enemy at all. But fortunately our Qingzhou is still relatively stable. Now that you have come here, I feel at ease. When He Xing and He Lan come back next year, our family will Even if we are reunited, we will never be separated again."
The old lady of the Shen family asked in confusion: "Where have they gone?"
Song Anning explained, "Go to the Southern Tang Dynasty to buy food. Since there is chaos, food is naturally the best use in these troubled times."
"That's true."
The old lady and the old man were old and had experienced troubled times. They knew that in such situations, sometimes money might not be enough for food, so they said nothing. After the family finished eating with He Lele, Shen Jiao said again. After personally arranging a place for them to collapse, they dispersed.
Fortunately, the Song family's house is big enough, so even if a few more people move in, it won't be a big deal.
After eating, Song Anning did not disturb her mother's gathering with her family, and wandered to the moat with Pei Qingyan.
It was already August, the time when the sweltering heat had dissipated and the evening breeze was slightly cooler.
The emperor didn't want to hear what he wanted to say.
He would never say what the emperor wanted him to say.
