Chapter 456 The peacock opens its tail
Pei Mansion
Mr. Pei, Mrs. Pei, Pei Chengye, and Liu Yuanying have not seen Pei Qingwan come back for a long time. Pei Chengye sent his servants out to search, while their family waited anxiously in the front hall.
Mrs. Pei couldn't sit still at first.
"Wanwan rarely goes out. In the past, even if she went out, Zhang's mother would accompany her. Why did she go out by herself now?"
Liu Yuanying said: "Mother Zhang said that my sworn sister Yan Shu came here during the day. I was not in the house for something at that time and I didn't see them. However, that girl Shu'er is a sensible person, so my third sister will be fine if she follows her."
Pei Chengye nodded in agreement with his wife.
"If Miss Yan is accompanying Wanwan out, parents don't have to worry too much. Miss Yan has outstanding abilities and a very calm personality. If she doesn't come back so late, she must be delayed by something."
Mr. Pei and Mrs. Pei also knew Yan Shu well. It was she who saved Wan Wan when she fell into the water. When her son was slandered by his colleagues, it was Miss Yan who was quick to wit and helped Ye'er clear up his grievances in the lobby.
Outside the door, a servant hurried over.
"Master, Madam, Young Master, Young Madam, the three girls have returned home, followed by... and people from the Yongding Marquis Mansion."
"what?"
The whole family had shocked expressions on their faces.
Pei Chengye looked worried. Didn't Wanwan go out with Miss Yan? Why was it someone from the Yongding Marquis Mansion who sent Wanwan back?
"Dad, Mom, let me go take a look first."
Mr. Pei was worried: "It's not a trivial matter for someone from the Hou family to come unexpectedly. Your mother and I will go with you."
"Husband, I want to go and have a look."
"it is good!"
Pei Chengye came to the gate with his parents and wife. The Marquis's carriage was parked at the gate. When Liu Bin saw the Pei family coming out, he opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.
When he saw Liu Bin getting off the carriage, Pei Chengye was stunned.
Why did the Marquis come in person?
"Master Hou, why are you here?"
Liu Bin looked at Pei Chengye, who hurriedly came to greet him, and felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that he had disliked this boy this morning, but in the evening this boy became his brother-in-law.
But after all, they are Wanwan's current family, so what can they do even if they are not happy?
"I met Miss Pei San in a teahouse and sent her back on the way."
"Mom, dad, brother and sister-in-law!"
Pei Qingwan opened the car curtain and prepared to get out. Liu Bin quickly turned around, carefully held her hand, and helped her out personally.
"Be careful."
Pei Qingwan felt that the Pei family was staring at them in shock, and after getting off the carriage, she hurriedly withdrew her hand.
She saluted Liu Bin: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for sending me back. It's getting late. Lord Marquis, please go back early."
Liu Bin felt that the time the two of them spent together was too short. After finally finding his wife, he really wanted to be together every day, and there were too many longings in his heart that he wanted to express and let her know.
But now there is no excuse to stay by her side.
Pei Chengye frowned when he saw Liu Bin staring directly at Pei Qingwan.
He took two steps forward and stood in front of Pei Qingwan, bowing respectfully to Liu Bin.
"I respectfully send you off to the Marquis."
Liu Bin glared at Pei Chengye displeasedly, feeling that his uncle was really an eyesore.
"Master Pei, the Marquis of Japan will come to visit you again. Say goodbye!"
After nodding to the two elders of the Pei family, he turned around and got into the carriage.
The Pei family watched the Marquis's carriage leave, and Pei Chengye rubbed his sweaty palms.
The Marquis said he would come to visit in person another day? Why did his noble Lord come to visit his little master, Bo?
"Let's go back home first."
Liu Yuanying walked up to Pei Qingwan and took her arm: "Wanwan, let's go back."
Everyone returned to the hall, and Mrs. Pei ordered her servants to pass on dinner.
The family sat around the dining table, and Pei Chengye spoke first.
"Wanwan, how did you and Mr. Hou meet?"
Pei Qingwan clenched the chopsticks in her hand: "I met that person when we were in the government office. Today, Sister Shu and I went to the teahouse to drink tea and happened to meet the Marquis."
"Since you were with Miss Yan, why did the Marquis send you back in person when you came back?"
Pei Qingwan's clear eyes flashed: "Master Hou happened to be on the way, and Sister Shu happened to have something to do there, so I asked Master Hou to give me a ride."
Pei Chengye frowned and thought deeply, the Marquis has never been close to women, how could he take the initiative to send Wanwan back home?
And recalling the way the Marquis looked at Wanwan just now, as a man, he knew very well what was contained in that look.
But the Marquis had a deep love for his late wife, so how could he suddenly take a liking to Wanwan?
Mrs. Pei said: "Okay, okay, I hope you come back safely. The food is getting cold, so let's eat first."
Pei Qingwan was a little confused. How should she tell her family about her and Liu Bin?
the other side
After Liu Bin returned home, he looked around along the verandah.
"Call Manager Zhang over."
The bodyguard immediately took the order and left. After a while, Manager Zhang hurried over after hearing the news.
"Master Hou is back."
"Manager Zhang, why does this garden look so bare? You can take people to the flower market tomorrow to buy more flowers and plant them. Also, repair all the houses in the Marquis Mansion as soon as possible. By the way, I have two years. There are no new clothes to be made. I will go to the warehouse tomorrow to select some materials and ask the embroiderer in the mansion to make some clothes for me as soon as possible. The color and style of the materials must make people look younger."
Manager Zhang stared at his Lord Marquis in astonishment, suspecting that he had heard wrongly.
Lord Marquis, didn't you say that we should plant more trees in the garden to keep cool in the summer? You also say that you have too many clothes and there is no need to make new ones.
Why is the Marquis who never pays attention to appearance, what happened today?
"Why does the Marquis suddenly want to repair the Marquis' mansion?"
Liu Bin adjusted his brocade robe with a smile on his face.
"I will get married next month. I will carefully repair the palace as soon as possible this month. I must satisfy my wife."
Manager Zhang was shocked for a long time and couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. God, what did he just hear?
The Marquis, who has not been with women for more than ten years, is getting married? Which family's rich lady? Why haven't you heard anything about it before?
It's terrible, it's terrible. It's okay for the prince, but I'm afraid the young master won't be happy to see the marquis marry a wife, right?
After all, the first lady died to give birth to the young master, and no one can take the first lady's place in the young master's heart.
Liu Bin ignored Manager Zhang, fully looking forward to the day when he would marry Pei Qingwan into the house, and returned to his yard happily.
a quarter of an hour later
Inside the Nuan Pavilion
Liu Hanyue was shocked when she heard the news brought by Manager Zhang.
"you sure?"
Manager Zhang said: "The Marquis said it himself. He also ordered me to repair the Marquis Mansion as soon as possible, and also asked the embroiderer to make a few new clothes. I think the Marquis suddenly seemed to be a different person. Before. The Marquis has never paid attention to his appearance, but today he asked the embroiderers to make him some new clothes that make him look younger."
Liu Hanyue:......
"Zeifeng!"
Ze Feng immediately ducked into the house.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Has the Marquis done anything unusual recently?"
Hefeng thought about it carefully for a while.
"As usual, in addition to handling daily official duties, the Marquis will go to the northern Hebei military camp to train troops in person every day. However, these days, the Marquis has been a little worried about the shortage of food and grass. He also went to the state government office early this morning. "
