Li Qianjin was going to return to the room when Duanduan ran out to meet his dad. Li Qianjin stopped him and said that it was not the time for dad to come back.
"Then I'll play here for a while," he said. Then Duanduan ran away to pat the gardenkeeper,who got a fright,opened his eyes and glanced at him. Then he continued to sleep in a daze and said,"Just go to play in your room!" Unexpectedly,Chongyang patted his face at that time. The garden-keeper woke up and said,"Don't be so naughty,little girl!" He was just about to turn around to go on sleeping,but both kids began to pat him together. The garden-keeper jumped with annoyance,grabbed their hands and shouted,"Go back to the study before I punish you two!" He didn't lean against the rockery again and take a nap until the two children laughed and broke free from him.
At that time,Pei Xingjian was bored and asked Zhang Qian to accompany him to have a walk in the back garden and check Pei Shaojun's homework passingly. At a distance,he saw two children playing around the garden-keeper. When he came nearer,he found the garden-keeper had fallen asleep in a daze.He knocked on the head of the ga:rden keeper,who woke up scolding,"Little bastard…" Snddenly recognizing Pei Xingjian standing in front of him,he was Scared to be tongue-tied.Pei Xingjian pointed'to Duanduan and Chongyang and asked,"Which family are they from?"
Not knowing who the old man was,Duanduan said,"Pei family! "
Pei Xingjian asked again,"Which Pei family?"
Chongyang scrambled to answer,"Minister Pei family."
Hearing that,the garden-keeper was anxious and shouted,"Stopping talking nonsense." But Chongyang ignored him and prolonged her voice,"I'm going to tell my parents about it." Then they ran into their room and went to find their mother.
When Minister Pei saw the two children run into the garden and the garden-keeper was flustered,he became suspicious. He said to himself: These two little kinds don't look like those from ordinary families. There must be something hidden. I'II go to check it out myself!" When Duanduan and Chongyang told her about an old man asking about their family,Li Qianjin knew it was Pei Xingjian who had come into the garden.
