Chapter 678: Looking Up at Her

Xue Yan was startled.
“Let’s go to the workshop and help make rice noodles.” Jiang Yue said. She didn’t have to say anything else. He must have thought it through himself.
No matter what, he would definitely go tomorrow.
Didn’t he just say that he didn’t want to go?
“Yeah.” Xue Yan replied softly. He first took the invitation card into the room and placed it down before going to the workshop on the mountain with Jiang Yue.
Although he was still afraid that Dongyu would be even more disappointed in him, he still thought it through.
Tomorrow was the day when Shengming Academy would have a break. Usually, on the day of the break, the students who lived in the academy would go home if they could. That was why, in his previous life, Sanfu would go to the Pei Mansion to pick him up and then meet Pei Fufu.
Thinking that his brother was currently in the military camp and definitely would not go to the Pei Manor to pick him up tomorrow, Xue Yan sighed almost inaudibly.
On this side, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue came to the workshop and helped the family make rice noodles. On the other side, the servant returned to the Pei residence and immediately reported to his master, Pei Dongyu, that the invitation had already been sent to Xue Yan.
Pei Dongyu was dressed in a long white robe. He had just returned from Shengming Academy and had just sat down in the reception hall. He held a teacup and slowly took a sip of tea. Hearing this, he nodded. “You may leave.” “Yes.” The servant went down.
“What, you even invited Xue Yan?” Master Pei and Madam Pei were both quite surprised.
Pei Dongyu smiled unhurriedly. “That’s my good friend. Father, Mother, what’s with your expressions?
Master Pei smiled. “It’s just that you’ll be inviting the teachers and students of Shengming Academy tomorrow. He’s not studying anymore. I didn’t expect you to invite him. That child is such a pity. He’s so smart but doesn’t want to study anymore. He insists on planting crops. What’s so good about planting crops?
“Father, everyone has their own aspirations,” Pei Dongyu said with a smile.
“Yes, yes, of course,” Master Pei smiled awkwardly.
“However,” Pei Dongyu took another sip of tea before putting down the teacup.
“Before I went to the capital to take the exam at the end of last year, I told him that I would be an official first, and in the future, he would…
“Forget it, forget it. If it weren’t for the fact that there are still many honest officials in the imperial court and the Emperor is merciful, I wouldn’t have wanted to be an official. The countryside is pretty good. There are fewer bad things to worry about and the surroundings can make people feel energized every day.
“Since I’m back, I definitely have to meet him. I haven’t seen him for a long time. Coincidentally, on my way back, I met one of his brothers. Shao Guogong personally taught him and brought him out of the military camp.
Coincidentally, my carriage had a problem, and he even helped me fix it. Shao
Guogong even said a lot to me and had a good chat with Xue Yan.”
Duke Shao?
Master Pei and Madam Pei were both very surprised. They immediately looked at each other before Master Pei asked, “We know that he went to join the army, but why… Was he personally taught by Duke Shao?”
“He entered the southern army,” Pei Dongyu said with a smile. “Duke Shao had nothing better to do and was no longer in the Imperial Capital. He stayed in the camp and took a fancy to him. He felt that he was a promising talent, so he personally taught him. When I saw Sanfu in the past, I always knew that he was not someone ordinary. Didn’t I tell you back then?”
Master Pei and Madam Pei were naturally embarra.s.sed to say that they had thought that he was at most a tall and strong farmer who was especially good at physical labor.
It was only when he joined the army and felt that he might have a future that they thought highly of him.
Thinking back, they actually had the intention to betroth their Fufu to Xue Sanfu, but they were afraid that Xue Sanfu would be useless even if he entered the military, so they gave up on this idea..
