When she said those words, her eyes were clear but there seemed to be some mischievousness. It was clearly the appearance of an innocent young female but in a moment there was a kind of unknowingly charming charm. Pei Lang's gaze slightly paused.
"This wine is Lu wine." Shen Miao picked up the wine cup and raised it towards Pei Lang. Pei Lang's expression suddenly changed but Shen Miao did not seem to notice his expression and said slowly, "The wine brewed in the Lu Qi region is also amber in colour. The Lu wine in Kuai Huo Lou must have been transported over from the Lu Qi region."
Pei Lang looked at her and suddenly picked up the wine cup on the table and drank the wine in one gulp.
"This wine is not intoxicating." Shen Miao said with a smile, "Otherwise if others see it, they would think that Teacher Pei is a wine jar." Her tone was coquettish but her words made Pei Lang's palms slightly moist. She said, "Speaking of which, the people of Lu are good at drinking wine and drink from jars. Just now Teacher Pei's manner was somewhat like a Lu person."
Pei Lang pursed his lips and did not speak but his gentle eyes were somewhat distorted.
Shen Miao supported her cheek with one hand and her face was slightly flushed from the wine. Even if she was not intoxicated, there was a faint blush on her face and when she squinted her eyes, she looked like a crabapple sleeping in spring. But because she was dressed as a male, it was refreshing and pretty and there was a different kind of charm. She said, "I remember that ten years ago, there was a prefectural magistrate of Lu who also seemed to have the surname Pei. If one did not know, one would think that Teacher Pei and that person were from the same family. "
Pei Lang suddenly placed the wine cup on the table and at the same time, Mo Qing glared and his right hand pressed on the sword at his waist.
"Unfortunately that Prefectural Magistrate Pei's residence was involved in an old matter of the previous dynasty and his entire family was beheaded by His Majesty. In the entire residence, the males were all executed and the daughters were exiled to be prostitutes for officials. " Shen Miao could not stop laughing, "One heard that Prefectural Magistrate Pei's residence had a pair of outstanding children and they were still young but died in this storm."
Pei Lang's lips were slightly trembling as he asked word by word, "Who exactly are you?"
"Shh." Shen Miao gestured for her to keep quiet and drank another cup of wine. Her snow-white face flushed red as she said, "Actually I was fortunate to hear of a secret. Seeing that Gentleman Pei is also surnamed Pei, there is no harm in sharing it with Gentleman Pei."
"That Prefectural Magistrate Pei's residence had the ability to send a pair of children to escape and avoid disaster. Unfortunately, the officials were hot on their heels, so they could only protect one person. Hence … Prefectural Magistrate Pei managed to protect his son, but his daughter was captured by the officials. " She regretfully shook her head: "The government officials are like wolves and tigers. They never show mercy to the families of sinners. That little girl was caught, how could she have a good ending?" Shen Miao sighed, "If I were to say, that Prefectural Magistrate Pei knew that his daughter would fall into the tiger's mouth and her life would be worse than death, but he still pushed his daughter out. It is somewhat heartless."
Pei Lang closed his eyes, a pained expression on his face.
"Mister Pei, you must be feeling the same way." Shen Miao smiled as she looked at him, "But one would think that this has nothing to do with Mister Pei, because Mister Pei is not from Lu. Mister Pei is a merchant that was born in the Ding capital. Speaking of these, it is only because this Lu wine is intoxicating and one was momentarily sentimental. "
The gentleness on Pei Lang's face suddenly disappeared and was replaced with a strong vigilance and precaution. He said, "This is General Shen's intention?"
Shen Miao shook her head.
"My Father dotes on me and gave me an embroidery workshop. The embroidery workshop is lacking an embroidery lady." Shen Miao dragged her voice, "One heard that more than ten years ago, Prefectural Magistrate Pei's eldest daughter knew double-sided embroidery since young. Coincidentally, this Bao Xiang Lou's Young Lady Liu Ying also knew double-sided embroidery. I thought that since both of them were reduced to prostitution and knew double-sided embroidery, perhaps Young Lady Liu Ying and that sinner's young lady had some relation. As for me, I had some compassion and saved her from prostitution. "Shen Miao looked at Pei Lang and said," Mister Pei, do you think that this student did the right thing? "
