Jiang Wan's voice quickly drew a reaction.

Pei You was sorting out the books in the study, and at first he thought that he had heard it wrong, how could Jiang Wan, who had not seen him for a long time, come to him?

But soon, he understood that it wasn't that he had heard it wrong, Jiang Wan was indeed in the courtyard, and it seemed that he had said ...... Yulian's name?

Pei You hurriedly put down the book and ran out of the door, but happened to run into Xu Chunying, who came out of the voice.

Xu Chunying had seen Jiang Wan when she was not blind in the early years, but she was not very familiar with it, and she hadn't heard her speak since Jiang Wan wore it, Jiang Wan's tone of voice was different from the original owner, and her tone changed at this time, so Xu Chunying didn't hear that the voice belonged to Jiang Wan, who she was on guard against, and noticed the movement of her son running out, she frowned and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Yulian who has an accident!" Pei You had already seen Yulian, who was being carried by Jiang Wan and didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly ran over. Maybe he subconsciously didn't want to mention Jiang Wan in front of his mother, Pei You's words seemed to be answering his mother's question, but in fact, he avoided the important and trivialized.

"Yulian, what's wrong with Yulian?" Pei You greeted him and wanted to take the person from Jiang Wan's hands.

Jiang Wan dodged, turned her head and asked, "Where is Yulian's room?" I sent her over. ”

One of the Pei family is the blind Xu Chunying, and the other is Pei You, who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, how can Jiang Wan rest assured that Pei Yulian will be handed over? If it weren't for the inappropriateness, she would have wanted to take the person directly back to her own home.

Pei You was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a daze: "Here, here, I'll take you there." ”

He took Jiang Wan to the house, and Xu Chunying stood at the door with a cane and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Pei You glanced at Jiang Wan, and he didn't know what happened to Pei Yulian.

Jiang Wan said: "Yulian fainted, I don't know what's going on." ”

She ignored Xu Chunying anymore, and raised her eyes to look at Pei You: "Lead the way." ”

Pei You hurriedly continued to walk inside, opened a room, and wanted to pick up Pei Yulian again, but Jiang Wan slid past him like a gust of wind, walked into the house and put Pei Yulian on a small bed in the house.

She glanced briefly at the room and couldn't help but frown.

The room was not small, but it was very simple, with only a small bed, a small wardrobe, and a dilapidated dresser. It can't be compared to Jiang Wan's very warmly furnished room.

At the moment, there is only a faded old quilt cover on the small bed, which is suitable for summer, but now that it is autumn, it is a little cold at night, and it is not enough to cover this again.

After placing Pei Yulian well, Jiang Wan saw that her breathing was quite stable and her face was pale, and when she touched her little hand again, she was really skinny, and she was distressed. Although Pei You's family is not rich, they are not so poor that they are tinkling, at least it can't be seen from Pei You, he is obviously raised with grace and taste, but his sister and him seem to be people from two worlds. Pei You looks delicate, as if she shouldn't come from a peasant family, and Pei Yulian's appearance is not very good-looking, and she is also skinny, just like a girl from the poorest family.

In the past, Jiang Wan's main purpose was to hook up with Pei You, and she only gave Pei Yulian a little attention to it, but only now did she really notice that this little girl's life was not easy. Judging from her contact with Pei You, she has always thought that Pei You has a good character and has a good impression of him in her heart, so when Pei Youniang came to "beat the mandarin ducks", she felt reluctant. But now she realized that Pei You may not be as good as she imagined, he himself is doing well, but he never seems to care about his sister.

Jiang Wan touched Pei Yulian's forehead, thinking that she should still hire a doctor, she just got up and wanted to talk to Pei You, but saw him standing there sneeringly, looking at Pei Yulian worriedly, at a loss.

Jiang Wan sighed and was about to speak, but Xu Chunying walked in from the door: "Is Yulian awake?" ”

Even though she learned that her daughter was unconscious, Xu Chunying's face was still faint, as if the person lying on the bed was not her daughter, but just a stranger.

Jiang Wan suddenly felt a sense of anger that she couldn't use her strength. After she crossed over here, what she got was Jiang Funian and Xu Fenggu's wholehearted love, they were even better to her than Jiang Gu, she was about to forget about it, in this era, there is still a patriarchal word. Xu Chunying put all her hopes on Pei You, and this daughter was probably completely ignored by her, and even treated harshly!

One of the few times they met, Jiang Wan could feel that Pei Yulian was a very well-behaved and overly cautious little girl, she was silent, and never told her about the grievances she had suffered. What kind of neglect and harsh treatment should have made Pei Yulian grow into such a little girl, so that she was so happy and cherished by every little kindness?

"Mother......" Pei Yulian's weak voice came from the bed, Jiang Wan hurriedly gathered her mind and turned her head to look at her.

Pei Yulian opened her eyes and looked at the few people in front of the bed with some confusion, as if she couldn't remember what had happened.

"Yulian, are you alright?" Xu Chunying took a few steps closer with a cane.

Jiang Wan could clearly see that Pei Yulian was shrunk because of Xu Chunying's approach, she seemed to be a little scared, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Mother, I'm fine!" As she spoke, she wanted to climb off the bed, but was held down by Jiang Wan.

Pei Yulian looked at Jiang Wan blankly, at a loss.

Jiang Wan said softly: "Yulian, you just fainted, it's better to rest for a while now." ”

"I ...... I'm fine......" Pei Yulian glanced at her mother secretly.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan sighed, looked at Pei You's mother again, and said, "Aunt Chunying, just now I saw Yulian fall on her back with a basket bigger than hers, and I guess she was tired." She's still young and tired, so how about letting her rest for a while now? ”

Xu Chunying was silent for a moment and said, "Yulian, you can rest first." ”

"Okay, mother......" Pei Yulian responded obediently, and then lay back.

Jiang Wan tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and when she got up, she looked at Pei You who was there, and suddenly felt a breath in her heart, and she didn't feel uncomfortable.

She said, "Mr. Pei, your basket is still on the way, please go and get it yourself." ”

After speaking, she looked at Xu Chunying again: "Aunt Chunying, I'll go back first." ”

Xu Chunying nodded, slowly walked to Pei Yulian's bed and sat down, raised her hand and gently pressed her shoulder, and there was no emotion on her face.

Jiang Wan walked out of the courtyard of Pei You's house, but she didn't leave, and stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while. Pei You hurriedly walked out after a while, and when he saw that Jiang Wan was still at the gate of the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Jiang Wan was waiting for him deliberately, looked at him and said, "Mr. Pei, I have something I want to tell you." As if she was afraid of causing him to misunderstand, she added, "It has something to do with Yulian." ”

Pei You hurriedly said, "Please speak!" ”

Jiang Wan wanted to speak softer, but when she thought of the poor little girl, she couldn't squeeze out a smile at all, and only said lightly: "Mr. Pei, Yulian is your sister anyway, I see that you are not short of food and clothing every day, and she is a little girl who can't eat much and wear much, why can't she be kind to her?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Pei You's face turned red, and he seemed to be a little unsure of how to explain. For his only sister, Pei You is not distressed, but he has to teach and read on weekdays, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to his sister. And his sister has always been well-behaved in front of him, never asking for anything, and he has never considered taking the initiative to care about her.

Recalling his sister's thin appearance, Pei You was ashamed: "What Miss Jiang said is that I was negligent. ”

Seeing Pei You take the initiative to admit her mistakes, the anger in Jiang Wan's heart disappeared a little, she could realize her mistakes and listen to persuasion, this scholar could still be saved, and what she was most afraid of was a stubborn person - she felt that Pei Youniang was probably that kind of person.

"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." Jiang Wan said, "I also hope that Mr. Pei can do what he says, and don't let Yulian lack food and clothing." ”

"I, I'm not going to be negligent about this again." Pei You replied solemnly.

"That's the best." After all, it is someone else's family's business, Jiang Wan can only do this, she bowed her head lightly, "Then please ask Mr. Pei to take good care of Yulian, I still have something at home, so I will leave first." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, Pei You looked at her crisp figure in a daze, inexplicably a little lost. He found that after not seeing him for a few days, Jiang Wan's delicate appearance when she met him at the beginning was gone today. Is it because he has seen her true colors, and she no longer needs to disguise herself in front of him? However, now Jiang Wan, who severely criticized him for Yulian's righteousness, also made him a little uneasy.

Which one is the real her?

Pei You went to take the basket home on the road a little depressed, and when he walked outside Yulian's house, he heard the conversation between his mother and Yulian.

Xu Chunying gently stroked Pei Yulian's shoulders and asked in a deep voice, "Yulian, do you complain about your mother?" ”

Pei Yulian hurriedly shook her head, but remembering that her mother couldn't see it, she hurriedly said, "Yulian doesn't complain about her mother." ”

Xu Chunying was silent for a moment and sighed: "Yulian, your brother is going to be an official in the future, and the most important thing now is to study." But my mother's eyes can't see, and the family can only count on you. You can't let your brother a scholar carry water, chop wood, do laundry and cook, you say, but this reason? ”

Pei Yulian nodded sensibly: "My brother is going to be an official, so he shouldn't do this." Yulian should share her worries for her mother and brother, and not let her brother be distracted. ”

"Good boy." Xu Chunying touched Pei Yulian's head, "In the future, your brother will be an official, and you will be a lady of the official family, and now these hardships are nothing." Do you understand? ”

"Yulian understands." Pei Yulian nodded ignorantly.

"It's good to understand." Xu Chunying said, "It's not that my mother doesn't feel sorry for you, it's just that these hardships are temporary, and when you have fine clothes and food in the future, you will be grateful for taking care of your brother at this moment and letting him concentrate on studying." ”

"Hmm!" Pei Yulian doesn't have any concept of brocade clothes and jade food, but what her mother said, she should do it.

Xu Chunying was silent for a while, and asked as if inadvertently, "Who sent you back, who is the girl?" ”

"It's Sister Wan." Pei Yulian replied obediently.

Xu Chunying's brows furrowed, and he got up after a while and said, "You rest first." ”

When Xu Chunying walked out of the house, Pei Youzheng pretended to hurry back and called her: "Mother." ”

Xu Chunying stopped and asked him, "It's Jiang Wan who just came?" ”

Pei You said: "It's her." ”

The mother and son were relatively speechless for a while, and after a while, Xu Chunying said in a dumb voice: "You'er, you have to remember your mother's words." ”

Pei You was silent, although his mother was vague, but he understood what his mother meant.

"Yes, mother, You'er doesn't dare to forget." He whispered.

Xu Chunying nodded with satisfaction: "This is my mother's good son." ”

Early the next morning, Jiang Wan went to the stream to wash clothes. She didn't want to do the laundry with the women in the village, so she got up early to avoid them.

However, what she didn't expect was that she was not alone today, and there was already another lonely figure by the stream.

That person turned out to be Pei You.
