Border Cook

Chapter 518: Human-like and dog-like
"I will go back and wait for the master first. The master should not stay outside for too long." Aunt Bai said softly, "This place is unfamiliar to us and we are at the border. I am worried about the safety of the master."

The most important thing is, if she is not around to keep an eye on him, what if Bi Xinghuai really reconciles with Shen...

After Aunt Bai finished speaking, she began to twist the handkerchief in her hand until her fingers turned white.

"I got it." Bi Xinghuai was a little impatient. He was just thinking about whether to wait here for a while and then go look for Shen Shujun, or to wander around somewhere else first and then look for her in the evening.

After all, this woman is most sentimental at night and most receptive to what others say.

When the time comes, I will coax her with soft words and as long as she can spend the night at Shen Shujun's place, the matter will be settled.

When Aunt Bai saw Bi Xinghuai's expression, she knew what he was planning and was extremely dissatisfied, but she did not dare to say anything. When she saw that Bi Xinghuai asked her to go back to the inn but did not send her back by carriage, she felt even more resentful.

She left angrily, and Aunt Bai took three steps back, observing Bi Xinghuai's movements from time to time, so that she didn't even look at the road in front of her and accidentally bumped into someone else.

"Ouch." Aunt Bai shouted and sat down on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Ying'er suddenly panicked and hurried to help Aunt Bai who was sitting.

Fan Jinglan, who was standing by, saw that the other person looked very unhappy, and asked hurriedly, "Did you get hit somewhere?"

Just now she was only focused on the dough figurines being sold at the stall next to her, and indeed she was not paying attention to the pedestrians. If she bumped into someone and caused them to get injured, it would truly be her fault.

Aunt Bai became even more annoyed when she saw this, and pretended to rub her ankle, "I think I sprained my ankle, it hurts so much, hiss..."

The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it was loud enough for Bi Xinghuai who was not far away to hear.

Bi Xinghuai also noticed the movement here and frowned slightly.

This Bai, normally she would act like a spoiled child and cling to him, but at this moment, she was so tactless. It must be that he spoiled her too much that she dared to be so bold!

Bi Xinghuai was very unhappy and wanted to scold Aunt Bai, but when he saw the two young ladies in front of him, especially Fan Jinglan, his eyes suddenly brightened.

She has an aristocratic air and a good appearance. Although what she is wearing looks plain, if you look closely you can see that it is made of the finest plain brocade with embroidery of the same color, making the texture look even better without being conspicuous.

There are not many hair accessories on her head, only a jade hairpin as decoration, but the jade is warm and transparent, and is definitely worth a lot of money!
Overall, this young lady definitely comes from a wealthy family!

At this moment, she appeared on the streets of Jinqiu County again...

I think she is probably a daughter of a wealthy family in this county or nearby state. Although her family is very well-off, her family is not well-off and they dote on her very much, so they are quite indulgent with her.

Isn't this kind of person the second Shen Shujun?
At the age when love is just beginning, as long as he behaves gently and talented enough, it will be enough to make the other party never forget him.

And she is at the frontier, so her knowledge must be shallow. Once she is captured by him, she will definitely be willing to curry favor with him, a Beijing official. Then won't the money she wants come in large quantities?

Bi Xinghuai was a little excited and strode forward.

Aunt Bai thought that Bi Xinghuai came for her, and her face was full of joy. She opened her mouth to call for help, but was glared back by Bi Xinghuai.

"old……"

The word "Master" was swallowed abruptly. Aunt Bai looked at Bi Xinghuai with a puzzled look on her face, lowering her eyes, full of grievance. "This lady, don't worry too much. I saw it clearly just now. She was looking around and bumped into you."

Bi Xinghuai bowed to Fan Jinglan and said, "Logically speaking, this matter should have been her responsibility, but now she is crying and trying to hold you accountable. This is very much like extortion."

"Is what I said correct?" Bi Xinghuai turned to Aunt Bai, spoke each word clearly, and winked again.

Aunt Bai understood and quickly got up from the ground, "This gentleman is right, I'm fine, but, but..."

"I'm sorry, goodbye!" Aunt Bai didn't dare to stay here any longer. She bowed quickly and then left in a hurry as if escaping.

When he was walking, I don't know if it was because his ankle really hurt or if he was just trying to show off, but he was limping a little. But he didn't hesitate at all and just walked quite fast.

"I'm sorry to have frightened this lady." Bi Xinghuai bowed again, "This lady doesn't sound like a local, could it be that she is here for sightseeing?"

"My last name is Bi, and I am from the capital. I just happened to come here. What is this lady's name?"

Fan Jinglan was already confused by what had just happened, and when she saw the smiling man named Bi in front of her, she suddenly thought of the peacocks raised in the palace.

The peacock's feathers are gorgeous and colorful, and they are even more beautiful when they are spread out. The peacock's expression and appearance when it spreads its feathers are very similar to the appearance of this man at this moment.

Seeing that the man named Bi had a pair of calculating eyes, looking her up and down to observe her reaction, Fan Jinglan couldn't help but smile and shook her head.

This smile made Bi Xinghuai completely confused.

After a brief moment of embarrassment, Bi Xinghuai felt a little uneasy. After looking himself up and down, he asked, "But what's wrong with my clothes?"

"You are dressed neatly, and there is nothing wrong with your clothes." Fan Jinglan said with a smile, "It's just that you look a little too ordinary."

Looks like a human being but looks like a dog?

Are you scolding him?
Bi Xinghuai was stunned for a moment, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"That's when your mind is not right and your brain is dumb. You can't even understand what I'm saying." Fan Jinglan's smile deepened. "Since you're so dumb, don't try to imitate the plots in the storybooks and think about being a phoenix that flies to the treetops."

These words clearly hit Bi Xinghuai's mind, making him immediately embarrassed and then very angry.

I was angry that this seemingly dignified young lady in front of me spoke as harshly as a knife, not giving others any face at all.

What made me even more angry was that this young lady spoke in a way that was a bit ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

Yes, your family looks very well-off, but in a remote and poor place like the border, even if you are well-off, your wealth is very limited. You are nothing more than a wealthy family.

But he, Bi Xinghuai, is, after all, a Beijing official, a man on the path to a career in politics, and his status is much higher than people like you. If you say he is thinking of becoming a phoenix, then what is she?
Ok?
But even though he was angry, Bi Xinghuai did not admit his thoughts and actions, and continued to argue, "What right do you have to slander me like this?"

"slander?"

Fan Jinglan laughed again, "I think you know that woman just now."
