It's quiet at midnight when the moon reaches midday.

After Pei Yue tried his best to send Gu Fan away, Taohua had not yet fallen asleep when she returned to the bedroom. She sat at the table and held her chin with one hand, shaking her head.

There was a lamp like a bean on the table, and the light in the room was a little dim.

Pei Yue sighed softly, and was about to walk over and hug Taohua to the bed. The little girl suddenly woke up. After rubbing her eyes and seeing Pei Yue clearly, a smile appeared on her tired face and she said, "Master, don't dislike me."

Annoying, although studying is a good thing, you should also take care of your body. Staying up for too long is not good."

Pei Yue felt warm in his heart and said softly: "Okay."

Taohua stood up and walked out, saying, "I'll boil water for the young master and wash up before going to bed."

Pei Yue stopped her and said, "I washed it in front, let's go to bed."

There are two beds in the bedroom just like the small courtyard in Duke Dingguo's mansion, but the difference is that the two beds are exactly the same, and the bedding on the bed is also the same. At first Taohua disagreed, saying how could the young master's maid

Is it the same? But she couldn't defeat Pei Yue after all. The little girl pouted in silent protest, but in fact she was very happy in her heart.

Because it was summer, both of them were covered with only a thin quilt.

In the darkness, Pei Yue opened his eyes and looked above his head, and whispered: "Peach Blossom, who gave you your name?"

Taohua turned around, facing Pei Yue's direction, and recalled, "I don't remember. People have called me that since I can remember. Maybe the old lady got it for me."

Pei Yue responded and continued to ask: "Then when did you enter the house?"

There was a trace of confusion in Taohua's clear voice: "I don't know. When I was in the old lady's house, I was usually responsible for lifting the door curtain. Later, when I was eight years old, the old lady asked me to serve the young master. Maybe I was three or four years old.

Then he entered the house."

Pei Yue was very sure about this because he specifically asked Wen Yu. Since Taohua was not a maid born in the family, Taohua was a maid bought outside the house, but it was a bit strange in terms of her age. Under normal circumstances, powerful people

The mansion buys people from outside, either arrogant and lewd men buying young and beautiful girls, or innocent servants of the right age, but rarely girls of three or four years old.

Pei Yue asked with some distress: "Do you still remember your family?"

Taohua was silent for a moment, and her voice was slightly lowered: "The old lady told me that when I was very young, my family put me in front of the Duke's Mansion. Fortunately, the chief steward saw me that day, and he told the old lady about it.

Then I was left behind. As for my family, I have no memory. I only have a jade pendant, which was found on me by the chief steward at the time, and I have always carried it with me."

"Pei Yongnian?" The butler with a fair complexion and a slightly masculine appearance flashed in Pei Yue's mind.

Taohua responded, then suddenly stood up, groped to the table and lit a candle. Wearing only a small piece of clothing, she took out a jade pendant from her chest, took it off and handed it to Pei Yue, saying, "This is it."

Pei Yue took it, and the girl's body temperature still remained on the jade pendant. He stared at the round jade pendant and found that the pattern on it was a bit strange, but the carving seemed a bit rough, which seemed to ruin the jade.

Taohua sniffed and said softly: "Actually, I also know that this piece of jade should be the price paid by my family. They only hope that kind people will take me in for the sake of this piece of jade and give me a bite to eat."

Pei Yue sighed in his heart, returned the jade pendant to Taohua, looked at her sparkling eyes, stretched out his hand to rub her hair, and said comfortingly: "Don't be sad."

Taohua shook her head and said, "I'm not sad, because now I have a young master, and the young master is my family."

Pei Yue smiled and nodded, and said gently: "You are right, we are a family, let's go to bed."

Taohua blew out the candle and lay down. She was no longer sleepy. Thinking of the incident that Mr. Xi mentioned a few days ago, she asked cautiously: "Master, do you like that girl from the Shen family?"

Pei Yue was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "You are a brat, do you know what it means to like me?"

Taohua thought in her heart that the young master is younger than me, and said hesitantly: "Don't you just want to marry her if you like her? Well, I heard that the Shen family girl has an unusual family. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the young master to marry her.

, Ahem, Young Master, I’m not looking down on you, I know that the Young Master is very powerful, but... it’s just that it costs a lot of money to marry a wife, and the Shen family girls are so powerful, I’m worried that the Young Master doesn’t have that much money..."

Listening to her incoherent words, Pei Yue couldn't help laughing and teasing her: "Don't we have eight thousand taels of silver?"

Taohua said in shock: "Master, do you really plan to marry her?"

If the beds between the two of them hadn't been separated, Pei Yue would have definitely knocked her on the head and said angrily: "Marry a bastard! I've never even met her, what if she doesn't look good?"

Taohua whispered: "It seems that the young master has really thought about this matter."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Miss Shen and I are just friends. Don't think nonsense, let alone talk nonsense, otherwise it will be bad for other girls. It is not a gentleman to talk behind someone's back."

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a maid, but the young master doesn't like it, so I won't say anything anymore."

"Well, go to sleep."

Although Pei Yue cares about this little maid who depends on each other for life, he will not pamper her without any bottom line. At least on these personal issues, he will not allow Taohua to interfere.

Even if he has a soul that is different from this world and does not strictly adhere to the dogma of superiority and inferiority, he does not allow others to interfere with his life-long affairs.

Neither can peach blossoms.

The little maid gradually fell asleep, but Pei Yue couldn't fall asleep.

He never imagined that this girl's life experience was actually related to the secretive butler Pei Yongnian. As for Pei Yongnian's words retold by Taohua, he could deceive the little maid but not Pei Yue, because Dingguo

The Duke's Mansion is located in Zhuque Fang, where all the top dignitaries of Daliang live. It is impossible for ordinary people to break into the mansion, let alone abandon a little girl in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion in a grand manner?

Do you really think that the background of the most wealthy family in the Pei family is just a decoration?

However, Pei Yue can't do anything now. He can only bury a doubt in his heart and try to trick Pei Yongnian again in the future.

…

Let's say that after Gu Fan was coaxed out of the house by Pei Yue, he looked up at the faint moonlight and realized that he had been tricked by that kid. Where could he get in Kyoto at this time?

Looking up, Green Willow Village was completely silent.

He was sixteen years old and could join the army and fight according to Daliang's rules, but he was coaxed out of it by a thirteen-year-old boy.

But he was not angry, he just smiled weirdly and said to himself: "This kid is so cunning. If he gets his hair, he might be smarter than a monkey. Didn't my father like this kind of people the most in the past? Why do you still want to kill me?"

I came to get acquainted with him, and I have to take care of him as much as possible. I am not a follower, young master, so it is really unreasonable. Damn it, father is not an old fool, is he? "

After cursing for a moment, he felt that Pei Yue was actually very interesting. He was much better than those unscrupulous dandies in Duzhong who were either running around or shouting and killing. He didn't seem to be uncomfortable getting along with him. When he thought about this, he felt much more comfortable.

.

Gu Fan left Green Willow Manor in no hurry. Although he could not stop the Kyoto goalkeeper at this time, there were still plenty of fun places outside the city.
