East Yulin Lane, Pei Mansion.

Pei Shu suddenly woke up.

Outside the window, the branches and leaves are sparse, the pomegranate flowers are in full bloom, like fire flowing, and the pond is full of flowers.

What a beautiful season.

Pushing open the window, Pei Shu looked at everything in front of her, her clear eyes full of surprise.

I heard movement, and the sound of soft footsteps could be heard outside.

Later, two maids in dark green dresses opened the curtain and entered.

When Pei Shu woke up from her lunch break, Yunque brought her salt water to rinse her mouth, and then offered her a cup of nectar water.

"Nvjun, how are you resting? Drink some water to soothe your throat."

Even though she had all kinds of doubts in her heart, Pei Shu still remained calm and composed, taking a sip of honey water without showing any emotion, and nodded slightly.

"I had a really deep sleep this time," and when I woke up, it was already a long time ago.

"That's good. Recently, you have been working day and night to deal with the family's official affairs, and you are always busy until the second half of the night before settling down. You look very haggard." Yun Quexu complained: "There are still people who are looking for trouble..."

Hearing her unbridled words, Yunlu, who was waiting for Pei Shu to wash herself, quickly stopped her gushing momentum.

"As soon as I woke up, I was forced to listen to a lot of gossip. She was so nagging at such a young age that it was noisier than the birds outside the window."

The bird stuck out its tongue playfully.

Pei Shu laughed dumbly.

Two confidant maids, the Yunque is lively and the Yunlu is calm.

Seeing their vivid appearance, Pei Shu felt like she was in another world and felt extremely close to them.

She has a very good memory, and she vaguely heard this same conversation six years ago.

At that time, she had only returned to Beijing from Lushan in February or March.

As soon as he returned home, Aye entrusted him with a great trust and handed over full power to the family affairs. Then he took his second son who was suffering from a weak disease and went out to look for famous doctors.

When he was about to leave, Aye kindly asked her to take care of the family affairs, and when he came back, he would submit a letter to request the title and finalize the title.

Daqi established a country with culture and civilized people. With the prerequisites, a young lady would support the family.

Among the upper class, there was a precedent for a female prince to seize the title.

But this kind of situation is rare in the aristocratic circle. The famous families are flourishing, but there are only a few direct descendants, and the inheritance rights rarely go to the daughters.

The title of British Duke was originally not awarded to Pei Shu, but the Pei family did not have many direct descendants, and the only male heirs under his grandfather's knees were one concubine and one direct descendant.

Moreover, the concubine is a useless person, and his behavior is romantic and absurd. In his early years, he insisted on marrying a fireworks woman as his first wife.

Doing so is tantamount to automatically giving up all inheritance rights.

Back then, when my grandfather was dying, he pinched Aye's arm flesh tightly and said his last words in front of all the clan elders,

"Your second brother's bloodline is already dirty. In the future, the Pei family will all rely on you. Remember, my family must not fall into the hands of the descendants of the founder and ruin the family's century-old reputation."

It's a pity that Aye's descendants are becoming more and more withered. They don't even have a bastard, there are only two daughters and one son.

The birth of the second son had damaged his vitality, and he was suffering from serious illnesses and minor disasters. It was not known whether he would survive to his death.

Such a big business cannot fall into the hands of outsiders.

Therefore, when Pei Shu was only in his 60s, the Duke Pei Kunliang opened an ancestral hall to worship his ancestors and announced to the world that he officially made his eldest daughter Pei Shu his son-in-law.

At the tender age of five, he took on the important responsibility of a public servant in the future and caused quite a stir in the capital.

Although the number of people is declining, it is not too hasty to determine the candidates for the throne too early.

Huangkou Ru'er can see what good things are wrong. If he is a fool, he will push the rise and fall of the clan into a pit of fire.

After the birth of a daughter-in-law, before the heated discussion subsided, Pei Kunliang did another shocking thing. He sent his eldest daughter, who was only five years old, to Lushan to be educated by the layman Wuyu.

Lushan is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital and has been far away from the center of power for a long time. This is definitely not a good thing for a successor. It looks like he has been exiled no matter how he looks at it.

But this matter is both contradictory and a little strange. To be able to worship under the disciple Wu Yu, who never accepts disciples, the British government must have spent a lot of money.

The master who could not be shaken by all the money, even today when she was mentioned, she was praised gushingly.

Speaking of layman Wu Yu, he was also a very influential figure in his early years, but just when he was famous all over the world, he suddenly retired to the mountains and forests.

Rumor has it that outsiders are confused, and even Pei Shu is still unclear as to why a genius as unfettered and free-spirited as his master would accept a young child as his disciple and not hesitate to teach him.

"Nvjun, would you like to wear this today?" Yunque asked, holding a set of mysterious clothes.

Pei Shu retracted her thoughts, glanced at the dull clothes, and whispered: "Change into something bright."

The sparrows and herons were startled when they heard this.

The girls in their family have always had a lackluster dressing style since returning to Beijing. They usually wear dark clothes and sophisticated clothes to show off to others.

Without him, the appearance of the head of a wealthy family should show solemnity and majesty at all times. Gorgeous and colorful clothes will undoubtedly weaken the imposing manner.

I wonder which daughter doesn't love beauty? Pei Shu doesn't like beautiful clothes, but the responsibilities on her shoulders force her to restrain her nature.

After experiencing the painful lessons of her previous life, she suddenly realized that living like that was tiring and unpleasant, and she wanted to live as she pleased in this life.

Yunque and Yunlu looked at each other silently, and Yunque said with a smile: "Our lady is born extremely beautiful, and she is in her prime, so she deserves some bright colors. How old is she?"

It is clear that Empress Nuwa has carefully crafted a face that is more beautiful than any other girl, but she still wants to dress herself up in an old-fashioned way at such a young age.

Twelve cents was cut off by four or five cents.

Now it's great that the girl is willing to change. Yunque happily took a set of Yandai Luo skirt and said with a slight sadness,

"After picking over and over, this one is more attractive. This is the hair-length dress that Mr. bought for you when we were in Lushan."

"Young lady has worked hard for many days. Why don't you relax for just a moment? I will call for someone to tailor some gorgeous clothes for you."

"Yes." Pei Shu sat in front of the dowry with her satin-like black hair hanging loosely, and nodded with a smile.
