Chapter 321
"Ouch, I almost hit my aunt!"
Ye Xi looked at the little figure rushing over, quickly stood up and took over to prevent the other party from bumping into her, and also made a joke.
Pei Zhu was originally very happy to see his son getting along so well with Ye Xi, but when he heard what Ye Xi said, he thought of some scenes that were not suitable for children, and his ears turned red.
You can't blame him for having wild thoughts. It's really hard to see something but not be able to eat it.
Ye Xi picked up Pei Ming and put him on a chair, then turned around and asked Pei Zhu to come and sit down.
Then, seeing Pei Zhu's red ears, she asked curiously, "Pei Lang, are you hot?"
It would have been better if she didn't say it. After she said it, Pei Zhu felt even more uncomfortable. Pei Zhu thought it must be because he had been a vegetarian for too long.
He stared at Ye Xi's face for a long time, thinking that his mourning period would soon be over, and he would make her suffer when he married her, because she was always teasing him unintentionally.
Ye Xi had no idea what was going on in Pei Zhu's mind. Seeing that he didn't respond to her, she stood up and wanted to come over to see if Pei Zhu was feeling unwell.
As a result, Pei Zhu reacted and quickly walked over to ask Ye Xi to sit down. He also sat down, and the four of them began to eat.
The two children are of similar age and can play together. When they saw their brother and sister whom they hadn’t seen for a long time, they started clamoring to play together after eating a few bites of food.
The two adults were already used to it, so they just let them go.
"Can we arrange our wedding date?"
Ye Xi couldn't help but ask. It wasn't that she was not reserved, but she was just a little uneasy.
"Are you in such a hurry to marry me?" Pei Zhu asked with a smile, thinking that Ye Xi couldn't wait any longer.
Ye Xi was asking the question very seriously at first, but when he heard Pei Zhu's words his face turned red and he started to act frivolously again.
She coughed lightly and gently pushed Pei Zhu with her hand, meaning to tell him to stop making trouble.
Pei Zhu looked at Ye Xi lovingly and smiled ostentatiously.
He hadn't laughed like this for a long time. Ye Xi was stunned for a moment. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She felt that she was a little bit of a lovesick boy.
Suddenly she thought of a more outstanding face.
She was distracted for a moment. If that man wasn't so dirty inside, she might not have resisted him so much.
It's a pity that there is no if in this world.
In fact, Wei Jue represents the appearance of most men in this patriarchal era, but he also has the problems of a powerful young man.
Men like Ye's father, Ye Xin and Pei Zhu are a minority.
If Ye Xi's thoughts were not beyond this era, perhaps she would have just accepted her fate and even thought it was a good thing.
She feels that she is lucky. She was born into a happy family and met the person she loves. She still wants to pursue being alone for the rest of her life.
"When my mourning period is over, I will marry you in style."
Pei Zhu restrained his smile, couldn't help but move closer to Ye Xi, hugged her and spoke seriously.
"I have something to tell you."
Ye Xi thought about it and decided to tell Pei Zhu about her encounter with Wei Jue.
Pei Zhu's face really looked ugly after hearing this.
"He still... doesn't want to let you go, does he?"
Although Pei Zhu asked a question, there was a sense of certainty in his tone.
He didn't believe that someone like Wei Jue would give up the wealth of the capital and come here to regulate that damn tariff.
Even if the tariff revenue from maritime goods has increased, it is not the main tax revenue of the Zhou Dynasty and there is no need for a second-rank official to regulate it.
To put it bluntly, this kind of assignment was a promotion in name only and a demotion in reality. Wei Jue must have understood that. Pei Zhu really didn't dare to think too deeply about what he was planning.
