Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 502 11 Satisfactions

He said unhappily, "Here, these are all the keys to my study. When I return to Mobei, you and Lei'er can come over anytime."

Rong Jin picked up the key with some disdain, stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, and said, "Why are you here? I won't move the things you want to my study. It's cold and hard here, and my butt hurts when I sit on it."

Pei Jingyang's study is large and bright. However, the furniture and furnishings are indeed of straight male taste.

Apart from a map of the Great Sheng Dynasty hanging on the wall, a sand table on the desk, and the necessary four treasures of the study, there was really no other decoration.

Not to mention, there is absolutely no cushion or pillow on the chair. Compared with the study room decorated with flower buds in Qixiayuan, the degree of comfort and warmth is indeed a world of difference.

No wonder Rong Jin disliked her. She was just a flower bud. After sitting there for most of an hour, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Tsk, where do these bad habits come from? You're not a girl, you're not delicate." Pei Jingyang was very disgusted. Turning around, he said to Hua Lei with a smile, "Let's go, Lei'er, let's go to Songheyuan."

He walked ahead with big strides, and when he was out of the courtyard, he turned around and said to a maid sweeping the roadside, "Go and tell the Madam that I have something to do and I am taking Jin'er and Lei'er to Songhe Courtyard. Tell her not to wait for me."

Then, along the cobblestone path, they walked very fast. Even though Hualei was used to walking, she couldn't keep up with them.

Just as she was about to lift up her skirt to chase after him, Rong Jin held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let him go first. He will be waiting over there too."

Hua Lei looked at Rong Jin disapprovingly, but still quickened her pace. However, with Rong Jin holding her hand, she definitely couldn't walk fast.

So, in the eyes of the girls on the roadside, it seemed that Hua Lei was pulling Rong Jin, trying hard to catch up with Pei Jingyang in front.

When Pei Jingyang noticed that there were no footsteps behind him and turned around, he saw the same scene.

Seeing her son walking slowly and still being held by Hualei, she couldn't bear it any more and asked with a sneer, "Did you sprain your waist? Did you hurt your leg? Tsk tsk tsk, that's really bad."

He then said to Hua Lei, "Lei'er, don't spoil him. I can't stand seeing him in such a miserable state." Pei Jingyang said, shaking his head.

However, his steps became much slower, "Lei'er, take your time, there's no rush." ​​His double standard was really obvious.

Rong Jin ignored his father's disdainful look and continued to hold Hua Lei's hand, strolling slowly in the garden.

When they arrived at Songhe Courtyard, Madam Pei was taking a stroll in the courtyard, while Marquis Pei was walking his bird in a birdcage, which was Marquis Pei's new hobby.

Hua Lei followed Pei Jingyang and Rong Jin to greet them. Mrs. Pei happily pulled Hua Lei over and said with a smile, "Lei'er is here? I was waiting for you this morning. Are you tired? If not, come take a walk with me. You haven't walked with me for a long time."

In the past, when Hua Lei lived in the Marquis' Mansion, she often came to accompany Old Madam Pei for a walk to help digestion. Since Hua Lei moved out, it has indeed been a long time since she last took a walk with Old Madam Pei.

Now, Hua Lei has married into the Marquis's Mansion, and Old Madam Pei feels that she has someone to accompany her for walks again.

Hua Lei was about to nod, but Pei Jingyang spoke first and helped Hua Lei refuse, "No, Mom, we have something serious to discuss with Dad."

"Oh?" Mrs. Pei looked at Hua Lei, and Hua Lei nodded. "Okay, you guys go talk first. Lei'er, how about we have lunch here later?" Mrs. Pei spoke again. She was really satisfied with Hua Lei.

"Okay, Grandma, I'll come to your place for lunch after we finish talking. It's been a long time since I've had lunch with you.

I really want to eat your golden cake, please ask the kitchen to make it for me." Hua Lei took Mrs. Pei's arm and said tenderly.

"Okay, if my dear granddaughter-in-law wants to eat it, of course I will make it." Old Madam Pei couldn't stop smiling. She was used to Hua Lei calling her Grandma Pei, so she was so happy to hear this sweet call of "Grandma".

He turned around and urged Nanny Chen beside him.

"Madame Chen, tell the kitchen to add a few more dishes and make a golden cake, which Lei'er loves. Then stew a black chicken soup for Lei'er. Oh, and stew bird's nests, too. Use the blood bird's nest in the warehouse."

Nanny Chen went downstairs with a smile.

Seeing her grandmother smiling happily, Rong Jin, who wanted to refuse, shut up. It was a good thing that Hua Meimei was favored by her grandmother.

Pei Jingyang looked at Mrs. Pei, then at Hualei, and sighed softly. The fate between people is so strange.

I have been married for more than 20 years, and I have never seen my wife holding my mother's arm in hand, so intimate. I have also never seen my mother speak to her daughter-in-law in such a doting tone as she did today. Alas!

When Lord Pei heard his son say that he wanted to discuss something with him, he put down the bird cage in his hand, washed his hands, and took Hua Lei and the others to his small study room next door.

He saw from a distance that his silly son was walking in front of him with a swift pace, and his beautiful granddaughter-in-law was trotting behind him, holding up her skirt. How tiring!

Several people sat down in the study, and Rong Jin calmly placed a seat cushion and a back cushion on Hua Lei's chair in advance.

When Lord Pei saw his grandson's actions, he was delighted. He liked to see his grandsons and granddaughters-in-law loving each other. In this way, how far would his great-grandson be?

After the maids served tea, several people began to talk. At the beginning, when Pei Jingyang talked about the restaurant and the brick kiln, the expression of the old Marquis Pei was still normal.

When he heard Pei Jingyang talking about cultivating land and raising soldiers, he involuntarily sat up straight while leaning back in his chair, and his expression suddenly became serious.

When Hua Lei restated her opinion again, Lord Pei stood up involuntarily and paced back and forth in the study.

"Lei'er, if you do this, I think it should be fine within five or six years. And the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

However, in the future, do you think His Majesty will be suspicious? If the next one... " Old Marquis Pei stopped and asked.

"Grandfather, we have no intention of rebellion. We just want to share the responsibility with the court. Moreover, raising this issue is just our suggestion.

Whether it can be passed or not still needs the decision of the emperor. If it is implemented, and the court finds it inappropriate a few years later, it is no problem to ban it.

What we need to do is to put forward this suggestion and idea, explain the pros and cons, and find the balance point. "After a pause, Hua Lei continued.
