You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Pei Yanli in the crowd was also wearing a red dress, with his black hair half tied up and casually tied with a red ribbon.

They have the same handsome face and are dressed the same, but one is wild and unruly, while the other is gentle as jade.

Lin Wan could recognize the two people at a glance.

"I recognize it."

Pei Jing suddenly laughed and said:

"Do you really recognize him?"

"nature."

As if noticing their gaze, Pei Yanli turned his head to look in their direction.

There seemed to be some sharpness hidden under his gentle eyes. When Lin Wan met his gaze, she suddenly felt uneasy.

Although there were people all around her, she felt like she was in a pack of wolves and could be torn apart and eaten by them at any time.

She felt an involuntary chill.

"What's wrong, Wanwan? My brother is greeting you."

Lin Wan collected her thoughts, looked up, and saw Pei Yanli nodding at her politely.

She reacted quickly and saluted Pei Yanli in return.

Everyone noticed Pei Yanli's eyes and looked over here.

When he saw Pei Jing next to Lin Wan, he said:

"Before, I only heard that Master Pei and Prince Pei were twins and looked very similar. Now I see that they are exactly the same!"

"That's right. If Master Pei and Prince Pei stood together, who would be able to tell the two of them apart?"

"Yes, and today they are all dressed exactly the same. I'm afraid I'll call the wrong person later."

"In fact, although the two are dressed and look exactly the same, they are still easy to tell apart if you look closely. Master Pei looks more stable, while Prince Pei is more lively."

"That's true. After all, Mr. Pei has been in charge since he was ten years old..."

The so-called Morning Flower Banquet is where the young masters and ladies recite poems and paint.

Men and women sat at separate tables. Lin Wan didn't know if it was her illusion, but every time she recited poems, there would always be two burning gazes on her.

Make her restless.

This feeling made her uncomfortable. She squeezed the handkerchief in her hand and found an excuse to leave the table temporarily.

Although the Pei Mansion is not as big as the Duke's Mansion, it has fewer people and thus appears more spacious.

Lin Wan had been to Pei Mansion twice and knew that there was a peach orchard in the backyard of Pei Mansion. Pei Jing said that it was planted by Marquis Zhongbo for his wife. Because it was planted by his parents when they were alive, Pei Jing cherished it very much and had people take good care of it and did not allow outsiders to enter.

But he said she could come and go as she pleased.

Lin Wan entered the peach forest through the secret passage that Pei Jing had taken her through before. Now was the time when peach blossoms were in full bloom, and the whole yard was filled with pink peach blossoms.

When the wind blows, peach blossoms fly everywhere, the fragrance fills the nose, and the whole person becomes happy.

There is a small house in the back garden. Lin Wan still remembers that the last time she and Pei Jing came here, she also made a painting.

But that was before the New Year, and the peach forest was bare at that time, not nearly as beautiful as it is today.

Lin Wan became interested and walked towards the small house.

The little room was clean, and there was a pot of tea and some cakes on the table, steaming.

It should be that Young Master Pei came here not long ago.

The furnishings in the room were simple, with only a table, four sandalwood chairs, and a drawing board and the tools needed for painting next to it.

These were all arranged by Pei Jing last time.

Next to it was a little bird he had carved but failed. Last time when she was painting, he was carving beside her. He failed several and finally gave her a decent one.

His carving skills are comparable to her embroidery skills.

Lin Wan didn't touch the pot of tea and cakes, but walked straight to the drawing board. When he saw the painting in front of him, his eyes flashed with amazement.

The peach forest is brought to life with the wonderful brushwork.

This should have been painted by Master Pei, because Pei Jing can't paint.

Lin Wan admired it for a long time before picking up another drawing board and starting painting again.

Maybe it was due to subconscious competition, but Lin Wan was more serious and focused than ever when painting this picture.

Although it is the same peach forest, the scenery is different in everyone's eyes and is also different in the paintings.

Pei Yanli's paintings focus more on the charm of the peach forest, while Lin Wan focuses more on the agility and changes embodied by the peach forest.

She was so focused that she didn't notice when Pei Yanli came over.

"The composition is exquisite and the spirit is vivid, as if it has come alive."

Lin Wan was startled by the sudden voice and the pen in his hand shook.

A little cinnabar smudged on the rice paper, and a originally good painting was ruined.

Lin Wan felt like crying.

This was painted by her with great effort.

Pei Yanli looked at the red dot on the rice paper, reached out to take the pen from Lin Wan's hand, and after drawing a few strokes, the red dot was somehow turned into the shape of a young girl.

Under the peach tree, the girl looked up and picked a flower with a slight smile on her lips, which added a bit of lively color to the peach blossom painting.

He was so close to her that she could smell the incense on his body.

Why, even the scent is exactly the same as Pei Jing's.

Lin Wan stepped back unnaturally. Pei Yanli seemed to be unaware of all this. After finishing the last stroke, Pei Yanli spoke:

"Miss Lin seems very nervous."

Lin Wan was slightly stunned, and quickly said:

"You are Pei Jing's eldest brother, and also Wanwan's elder, so you are bound to be a little nervous when you meet Master Pei."

elder?

Pei Yanli chuckled and said:

"Jing'er and I were born on the same day. He was only half a quarter of an hour later than me."

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down and approached her inch by inch:

"Miss Lin, if I hadn't said anything just now, would you have been able to tell the difference between him and me?"

His eyes were obviously gentle, but Lin Wan felt that being stared at by him was like being entangled by a poisonous snake, so dense that she couldn't breathe.

Lin Wan frowned slightly and shrank back:

"Yes, Master Pei and Pei Jing have completely different temperaments. Even if you have the same face and wear the same clothes, I can still recognize you at a glance."

"Can you really recognize it?"

Pei Yanli raised his foot and moved forward, pressing forward step by step.

It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry on that overly good-looking face, but it made people feel creepy unconsciously.

Lin Wan stepped back unconsciously.

"elder brother."

Pei Jing's voice rang in his ears, breaking the eerie atmosphere between the two.

Lin Wan's rationality was completely frightened away at this moment. She ran away, almost jogging behind Pei Jing, as if the person behind her was not Pei Jing's elder, but an evil ghost.

Pei Jing's eyes moved slightly, and he reached out and held her hand.

I noticed that her little hands were very cold at the moment.

Glancing at Pei Yanli with complaint, Pei Jing led Lin Wan out:

"Wanwan, I'll take you back."

Lin Wan nodded randomly, her clear deer eyes full of anxiety, and the words in her heart almost blurted out:

"Pei Jing, if we get married in the future, let's move out!"

Pei Yanli gave her a terrible feeling.

Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"Wanwan? What's wrong?"

Lin Wan didn't want to say anything bad about his brother, and was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"Is it because of my elder brother? My elder brother just has a strange personality. If Wanwan gets to know him better, she will find that he is a very good person."

Pei Jing paused for a moment and said soothingly:

"But if Wanwan wants to move out, then we will move out."

After hearing Pei Jing's words, Lin Wan finally felt relieved.

When Pei Jing came back after seeing Lin Wan off, Pei Yanli was still looking at the painting that Lin Wan had just drawn.

He added a few more strokes to the woman in the painting, making her 80% like Lin Wan.

Pei Jing's tone was a little bad:

"Brother, you scared her today."
