The main hall of the front house.

Shen Danmo stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the furnishings in the room calmly.

This house was originally built by a wealthy man in Linqing County, and was later sold to the Yan family. The architectural style is modeled on the Qinzhou water town in the south of Daliang, which emphasizes exquisiteness and taste. The calligraphy and paintings hanging in the hall are all handcrafted by famous artists, including one "Autumn Bliss" is an authentic work by Cao Huai, a master of calligraphy and painting in the former Wei Dynasty. Pei Yue had a peaceful nature and did not blindly pursue luxury, nor did he have the habit of pretending to be poor like some elite celebrities, so he did not change the layout and furnishings of the house. The above is consistent with the original.

Shen Danmo wears a moon-blue southern brocade light wide-sleeved cloud dress, paired with a skirt with ancient patterns of double butterflies and clouds, and a jasper hairpin with begonia drops of emerald beads inserted diagonally in her bun. She is lightly powdered, fresh and moving.

She looked at the "Autumn Silence" on the east wall with a hint of surprise in her eyes. She obviously didn't expect to see the authentic works of the calligraphers and painters she admired most in this wild borderland.

She was the only one in the hall, and she did not bring any maids or servants with her on this trip. As for the personal guards she left in the outer courtyard, they did not come in at all. Although she had never met Pei Yue before, she was sure of her own safety. There will be any problems.

When Pei Yue and Ye Qi came in together, Shen Danmo withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man and woman who appeared in his sight with a gentle expression.

She knew Pei Yue very well. With Shen Moyun's tacit permission, all the information about this Dingguo bastard from his birth to the Battle of Qishan Chong was presented to her. Coupled with the past correspondence, I am afraid that even Pei Yue He didn't even know that even though he had never met him, he had long been a complete and three-dimensional existence in Shen Danmo's heart.

Looking at Pei Yue's tall figure and handsome face, Shen Danmo's eyes showed a bit of emotion.

Once upon a time, the handsome young man in front of her was still living a precarious life. She was worried about him beside the Shen Mansion Waterside Pavilion. It was not entirely because of sympathy. At least the new things Pei Yue mentioned in the letter made her worried. She was very interested. Now that she saw this, the thin young man she had imagined had grown into a martial arts noble with a heavy army in Yuanding Yue Zhi. In just two or three years, a person's changes were like the vicissitudes of the sea, enough to Astonishingly amazing.

Her eyes also did not ignore Ye Qi next to her.

Taishitai Pavilion's information is very detailed. Although Ye Qi's life experience has not yet been found out, from the time she met Pei Yue, all her actions in the past two years have not escaped the eyes of the secret, including her journey of two thousand miles and the critical moment. The heroic feat of rescuing Pei Yue.

Shen Danmo knew that he was a very proud person, and after seeing Ye Qi, he decided that this woman was just like him, with a strong heart and a disregard for external things. But part of her pride came from her father Momo Yun. For protection, Ye Qi relied entirely on his talent and diligence in martial arts.

Observation is always relative.

Pei Yue had long heard that Shen Danmo was both talented and beautiful. Now when he saw Shen Danmo, who was dressed very leisurely, and looked at her appearance, he knew that those scoundrels in Kyoto were not exaggerating.

In terms of appearance alone, Shen Danmo is even better than the Nine Masters of Lingzhou, especially his skin as white as mutton-fat jade, his subtle and elegant red phoenix eyes, and the faint air of a book between his eyebrows. , it makes her look more graceful and graceful.

If Ye Qi is very heroic, then Shen Danmo is full of nobility.

But from Pei Yue's point of view, he certainly prefers Ye Qi's temperament, not only because of the different relationship, but more importantly, he can feel that Ye Qi is more real, while the daughter of the Shen family in front of him seems much hazy.

Gu Jia

In other words, it’s probably an ungrounded feeling.

"Miss Shen, please sit down." Pei Yue said calmly and calmly.

Shen Danmo was not restrained and chose to sit on the first chair on the left after nodding slightly.

Pei Yue did not choose the main seat, but sat opposite her with Ye Qi.

On the surface, he was paying respect to the guest, but in reality, he was keeping a distance. The meaning is self-evident.

Of course, Shen Danmo knew the profound meaning of this action. There was a smile in his eyes. He didn't mind Pei Yue's statement and said warmly: "That time you went to my house, why didn't you meet me?"

This topic was abrupt and blunt, and Pei Yue couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He had only been to the Shen Mansion once, when he returned from Hengduan Mountain and handed the evidence of Pei Rong and others' conspiracy to Silent Cloud. Because Silent Cloud's words revealed a hint of defending Pei Rong, the conversation at that time was not pleasant, so Pei Yue finally declined Silent Cloud's proposal. This seemed to him a very reasonable attitude, but he did not expect that Shen Danmo would bring up the old issues again when they first met.

After a moment of silence, he replied calmly: "It's not etiquette."

Ye Qi wanted to laugh a little, but finally held back and glanced at Pei Yue with interest.

Shen Danmo's face was calm, but she was a little disappointed in her heart. The original exchange of letters with Pei Yue was naturally at Shen Moyun's request, but later she really liked chatting with this ill-fated young man because his attitude towards her was different from others. She is neither condescending nor condescending. In her heart, she is a rare friend.

However, the past cannot be forgotten. Since the other party has made his attitude clear, how can she, Shen Danmo, pretend to be a resentful woman?

Thinking of this, she calmed down and said slowly: "Zuo Lingchen has ordered me to severely reprimand Lin He and remove him from the post of head of the Kan Department. After he recovers from his injury, he will conduct a detailed investigation into the battle of Qishan Chong. Matter. Zuo Lingchen knows that your subordinates suffered a lot of losses in that battle. Although life and death on the battlefield are at stake, it is ultimately the people in the Taige who failed to do things well, so he ordered me to come here to apologize to you in person."

Pei Yue suddenly realized that he could read many subtexts from Shen Danmo's words.

One is that Lin He did indeed do something. He suspected that this guy was deliberately concealing information. If he had told the truth about Chen Xizhi's men in advance, Zangfengwei would not be trapped in Qishan Chongli. After all, Chen Xizhi was mobilized at that time. More than a thousand people rushed to Qishan. If Taishitai Pavilion couldn't even catch this kind of movement, then who would believe in their ability?

The second is Shen Danmo's current status. She calls Shen Yun by her official position, which shows that she now has a certain status in Taige, at least a temporary status. In the past hundred years since the founding of Daliang, it was rare for a woman to be an official, but since it is rare , indicating that there had indeed been one. The most famous female official was Princess Qiyang, the second daughter of Emperor Taizong. She had been involved in politics in the Dongfu for a period of time. This Princess Qiyang was a legendary figure in her own right, and her eldest daughter was even more involved in a It is a secret, so it is not convenient to go into details here.
