Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1202 The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys
Pang Zhijing stepped forward, patted the door timidly, and the door shook with a swipe of her hand. She thought the door was not strong, so she would fall down as soon as she knocked, and immediately ran back to Xiao Hou to hide.

Seeing the shameful smile in Xiao Hou's eyes during the period, she grinned at him. Anyway, even if it was a joke that she was timid, she would not knock anymore. If she was smashed, where would she cry?

However, at this moment, the mottled wooden door shook, then "creaked" sounded, and then slowly opened from the inside.

This atmosphere, this sound, this environment, how do you feel like a haunted house?

Don't look at her who is usually quite courageous, but in fact she is very fragile inside. At this time, she is holding on to Xiao Hou's sleeve tightly, ready to pull him away at any time.

Seeing her being frightened like this, Xiao Hou didn't feel sympathy, but rather amused.

At the same time, the wooden door had been opened with great effort, and a head protruded from the inside.

It was an elderly woman, her face was full of wrinkles, and her hand on the doorknob was also terribly old. She looked at the two of them vigilantly, but when she saw Xiao Hou, she was slightly taken aback and couldn't wait to leave. Come out, "Your Highness, why are you here?"

After asking, she looked at Pang Zhijing, who was sticking tightly beside Xiao Hou, with a look of doubt and surprise in her eyes, "This one again?"

"Ren Po, let's go in first." Xiao Hou interrupted her constant sizing up of Pang Zhijing, and walked in first after speaking.

Pang Zhijing felt that this person looked a little weird at first glance, but listening to her words and behavior, she was very well-behaved, and her voice was soft, unlike her appearance that gave people the feeling of a wicked mother-in-law.

Xiao Hou left first, but she was still a little scared, and pulled his sleeve to follow closely, like a child afraid of being lost.

Xiao Hou lowered his head to look at the hand she was holding tightly, and smiled slightly with his lips curled up. His amorous feelings passed through the corner of his eyes, and then disappeared.

Pang Zhijing was on guard all over, but she felt that Xiao Hou seemed to be very familiar with this place. From entering the door to now, he walked in without hesitation, and would remind her to be careful of the potholes under her feet.

Because of this reason, she gradually relaxed her emotions and had the energy to observe her surroundings.

Although the outside looks very dilapidated, the inside is very clean and tidy, so there are not many utensils, but it can also be seen that the owner is very good at arranging, there are many small flowers raised in small wine pots, and various gadgets , she was dazzled, if it wasn't for Xiao Hou who was distracted to take care of her, I'm afraid she would be tripped again because she didn't pay attention to the road.

But what makes her feel a little weird is that the person named Ren Po has been staring at her since entering the door, especially the hand she was holding Xiao Hou's sleeve, and she subconsciously pulled the sleeve tighter .

However, she found that the eyes of the person named Ren Po were getting brighter and brighter like a light bulb, but her heart was even more flustered.

No, she really came to the den of thieves?

"What's wrong?" Xiao Hou asked.

"Mother Ren looks fierce." She whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Hou gave her a fierce look.

Hey, you are so fierce!
Xiao Hou opened the floral door curtain familiarly, and walked in.

Oil lamps were lit inside, which was brighter than outside.

Xiao Hou pulled the sleeve out of her hand, and said angrily, "Didn't you say you want to drink? I brought you here as if I was going to sell you. What are you thinking?"

Pang Zhijing pursed her lips and turned her eyes aside, and scolded her in front of people she didn't know. She didn't save her face at all, and she lost her temper.

Xiao Hou couldn't see what she was thinking, pointed at Granny Ren and said to her, "Grandma Ren is not an outsider, she brewed the wine you drank before."

Pang Zhijing looked surprised, and then turned her head to look at Po Ren, her eyes full of curiosity, she always thought that people who knew how to make wine were very good, because she had a relative who could make wine, and she was influenced by him since she was a child, so she knew a little bit about wine .

When Pang Zhijing looked at Granny Ren, Granny Ren was also looking at her. When His Royal Highness asked her to let go, although his tone was a bit harsh, she could tell that His Highness cared about this girl very much, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until he entered the door.

She smiled kindly and said, "You don't have to be afraid, this girl. The old lady makes wine for her living. Usually, not many people come here, so it's a bit deserted. Please don't mind."

It was only then that Pang Zhijing understood what it means to not be judged by appearances. Once she got along with her, she was really kind and friendly, and she was not fierce at all. On the contrary, the person sitting next to her was fierce.

"You guys haven't had dinner yet, if you don't mind eating at the old lady's place!" Granny Ren spoke very politely to her, it could be said that she was cautious.

Pang Zhijing was a little uncomfortable, turned her head and asked Xiao Hou with her eyes, Xiao Hou ignored her, and at some point took off the jade pendant from his waist and was playing with it.

She couldn't help it, she was still waiting for an answer, so she immediately turned her head and said obediently to Granny Ren, "We have walked all the way, and we haven't eaten yet. If we don't trouble you, then we don't need it. We can go out and find a place wherever we want. eat a bit."

Upon hearing that, the old lady quickly waved her hands, "No trouble, no trouble, just wait a moment, the old lady will finish it soon."

After saying that, she hurried into the kitchen, as if she was afraid that the two of them would go back on their word.

Pang Zhijing looked at the direction Granny Ren left, and couldn't help blinking. What's going on?
She stretched out her elbow and poked the person around her, "What is the relationship between this person and you? Why do you feel that she is afraid of you?"

"It's not fear. If you don't know how to use words, don't use them indiscriminately." Xiao Hou said coolly.

Being choked by him like this, Pang Zhijing turned her head and didn't want to talk to him.

It's too much, don't save her face outside!
Seeing that she only left the back of his head, Xiao Hou couldn't help smiling.

Recently, it seems that she has been used to being a bit of a housekeeper.

"Ren Po was my mother's nanny when she was still a lady in the official family."

When he was sulking, he suddenly heard what he seemed to explain.

She forgot that she was still angry, and turned her head to ask in surprise, "Didn't your mother get confiscated all over the house back then?"

"Back then, Granny Ren happened to be home on business, and my mother returned the deed of sale to her very early, so when the raid was made, Granny Ren was not affected." Xiao Hou replied calmly.

Pang Zhijing pursed her lips, "Then why is she here?"

Xiao Hou lowered his eyes, with the fire behind his back, unable to see his expression clearly, "Ren Po used to love my mother very much, but my mother's family suffered an accident, she found out that my mother had entered the palace, so she found a place here to stay. Accompanying her, Ren Po made a living by brewing wine, and after my mother was promoted to a nobleman, she got in touch with Ren Po, and the two had a relationship."

"Mother Ren is really a good person." Pang Zhijing sighed.

However, when she was talking, she found that there seemed to be a flash of sadness in his eyes, and she couldn't help but froze.
