Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 161

After Yan Zhaohua came out of Pianranju, he happened to meet the concierge who came in and told him that Prince Gong's son had come and brought a few baskets of fresh lychees for Lord Hou and Missy.

Litchi is a rare thing, Yan Zhaohua followed to look at it, just in time to see Pei Xuan getting off the horse, dressed like a gentleman, and when he saw Yan Zhaohua, his eyes were shining with gold, if it was before, the two of them would I can only look at it from a distance, but now that the two are engaged, there is no need for such a rigid attitude. Yan Zhaohua went up the steps and asked Pei Xuan:

"This season, I haven't eaten lychees yet."

Pei Xuan looked at her dotingly, and suppressed the urge to hold her in his arms: "I know you love to eat, so I specially sent someone to go to Lingnan. They are all fresh with branches and leaves wrapped in ice."

Yan Zhaohua smiled sweetly, and Pei Xuan was also happy to see her smiling. When the two were talking about each other, Yan Xiu knew that Pei Xuan was coming, and greeted him in person. Pei Xuan saw Yan Xiu and stepped forward to salute. Now he met Yanxiu, what he did was half-kneeling son-in-law, unlike before, bowing hands and bowing was enough.Yan Xiu stepped forward to support it himself, saw the lychees being transported to the mansion, and said with a smile:

"Don't spoil her, the lychees in this season are tributes, can you give them to the palace?"

Pei Xuan nodded in a gentle manner: "Of course it was given away. The emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager's palace have all been delivered, and the mansion also kept some for themselves, and the rest will be taken over."

Yan Xiu made a 'please' gesture to Pei Xuan: "It's boring outside, let's go to the study and talk. Sister Hua is also here, and I'll cut a plate and bring it chilled."

"Hey, you guys go first, I'll take it after it's chilled."

After saying this, he smiled at Pei Xuan, so affectionate that even Yan Xiu could feel it, coughed lightly, and then the two looked away, Yan Xiu twitched his beard and smiled, as if thinking of himself when he was young.

Leading Pei Xuan all the way to the study, Pei Xuan's pace was neither fast nor slow, but he was still half a human away from Yan Xiu. He talked to Yan Xiu respectfully and generously. Yan Xiu was very satisfied with this son-in-law.

Yan Zhaohua went to the study with a plate of chilled lychees in person, and the two of them were commenting on a painting, leaned over, Yan Xiu talked about sex, Pei Xuan and Yan Zhaohua earned some time to make eye contact, Yan Xiu He spoke vigorously, and as soon as he turned around, he saw that Pei Xuan's thoughts were all on Sister Hua, and the devil didn't listen to what he said. He was helpless for a while, watching them holding back their hard work, and said deliberately: "Sister Hua, come here!" It’s just right, you and the prince will give it another reward, some of the opinions you said a few days ago are still good, talk about it with the prince, and I will go outside to drink tea and eat lychees.”

After saying this, Yan Xiu decisively opened the pearl curtain and walked to the outer room. Only Yan Zhaohua and Pei Xuan were left in the inner room. Yan Zhaohua lowered his head and leaned shyly beside the desk Damn, Pei Xuan also leaned towards her, standing behind Yan Zhaohua, if you could look from the side, you would see that Pei Xuan's whole body was almost pressed against Yan Zhaohua's back, but from the front It was normal, as if the two were looking at the paintings on the desk at the same time.

Yan Zhaohua's back pushed Pei Xuan slightly, but instead of pushing him away, it made him stick tighter. The hand behind Yan Zhaohua also quietly grabbed Yan Zhaohua's from under the sleeve, tightly Clenched tightly in the palm of his hand, Yan Zhaohua didn't dare to move or make a sound, for fear of alarming Yan Xiu.

Pei Xuan looked at Yan Zhaohua's red ears, and thought it was crystal clear, and destroyed his self-control all at once, and quickly kissed Yan Zhaohua's ears, Yan Zhaohua was startled , hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it, and secretly pinched the back of Pei Xuan's hand.

The two kept making small movements, and their eyes were not on the calligraphy and painting at all. Yanxiu ate a few lychees in the outside room, and felt that the painting inside should be almost enough, so he sat down and said aloud:

"The lychees are quite sweet, come and eat some of them too."

Yan Xiu's words interrupted the two young couples who were not communicating. Pei Xuan moved his body a little uncomfortably, but his voice was extremely calm, and he replied loudly to Yan Xiu:
"Yes, there is one last point to finish, so go out after finishing."

The two calmed down for a while, Yan Zhaohua gave Pei Xuan a blank look as if complaining, then straightened the hem of the skirt, took a deep breath, and went out as usual, followed closely by Pei Xuan, Yan Xiu said to the two The man beckoned, pointed to the chilled lychee plate, and said:
"It's very sweet, try it."

The two sat down at the bottom, and Yan Xiu said to Pei Xuan: "Dragon Knights have now completely replaced the former guards of the Hou Mansion, and the arrangements are indeed much stricter than mine before, and now even flies cannot fly in. "

Pei Xuan peeled a lychee, and handed it to Yan Zhaohua naturally. Yan Zhaohua glanced at Yan Xiu, and Yan Xiu acted as if he hadn't seen it. He took one and handed it to Pei Xuan, who took it naturally and continued to peel it off, and replied to Yan Xiu:
"The rules of the Dragon Knights can be done very well without being deliberately arranged by others. The safety of the Hou Mansion is entrusted to them, so don't worry about the Hou Ye."

Yan Xiu believed in Pei Xuan's words, and did not notice the cunning in Pei Xuan's eyes, but Yan Zhaohua did. She could guess what Pei Xuan was thinking. I'm afraid, from today onwards, Her boudoir is about to start buzzing again.If Yan Xiu knew the real purpose of Pei Xuan's arrangement for the Dragon Knights to guard the Hou Mansion, he wondered if he would spurt blood with anger.

The atmosphere in the study was happy and harmonious, but the guard came to pass the message: "Master Hou, Aunt Gong from the Duke's Mansion is asking to see you."

Yan Xiu frowned instinctively: "What is she doing here, no see!"

Yan Zhaohua and Pei Xuan looked at each other, Yan Zhaohua couldn't think of why Aunt Gong came to Yan Xiu at this time, could it be that she came to apologize for Yan Zhaoning?He didn't even think about it, Yan Xiu was so angry at the moment, how could he see her.

Unexpectedly, after the guard who sent the message went to speak, Gong's unruly voice sounded outside the study: "Master Hou! I'm here to apologize to you on Miss San's behalf. She is young and ignorant, and she said something wrong. , you should be more concerned, no matter how you say it is your own flesh and blood, how can you turn your mind to the outside of your body?"

Gong's words made Yan Xiu in the study furious on the spot. He opened the door and said angrily to the outside: "Are they all dead? Throw this woman out of the house for me! From now on, without my permission, no Let her in!"

The guards hurriedly took action, Gong Shi didn't even see Yan Xiu's face, and was thrown out by the guards outside Yan Xiu's study, and her screams could be heard from far away, Yan Xiu was very annoyed , pinching his eyebrows and worrying.

Naturally, Pei Xuan heard it too. Seeing Yan Zhaohua looking at Yan Xiu worriedly, he couldn't help asking, "Who is that? Why are you so arrogant in the Hou's Mansion?"

Yan Xiu didn't speak, Yan Zhaohua replied: "Aunt Gong, my grandfather's concubine."

The name of Gong's family, Pei Xuan is naturally well-known, and he helped Yan Zhaohua investigate her affairs before, but he didn't expect Gong's to be so arrogant. Dare to yell at Yan Xiu like this, this concubine... really thinks of herself as a serious mistress.

Glancing at Yan Zhaohua, Pei Xuan had something to say, but Yan Zhaohua shook his head slightly at him, so Pei Xuan hid the topic and changed his tone:
"The concubine is so arrogant, Duke Ding is also confused."

Yan Xiu sighed to Pei Xuan in shame: "I'm telling you a joke. A few things have happened in the mansion recently. The family is unlucky."

No matter how much he said, Yan Xiu couldn't talk to Pei Xuan anymore. After thinking about it for a while, Yan Zhaohua felt that it was better not to hide some things from him in front of Pei Xuan, but to let him know. Excuse me, let her talk, at least let Yan Xiu know that Pei Xuan is not the kind of person who avoids when things happen, maybe one person counts on the short, and three people count on the long, Pei Xuan has more ideas. At this time, listen to him His opinion might make Yanxiu feel differently.

Then he said bluntly:
"The third younger sister insisted on marrying Tan Xiaozhi, and the two of them caused a disaster in private. The father was so angry that he wanted to send the third younger sister to the family temple. Tan Xiaozhi never showed up even once. He also let the third younger sister live or die. My aunt asked her grandfather to support her, and her grandfather promised Tan Xiaozhi a position in the firearms battalion in a moment of confusion. Tan Xiaozhi was moved by it, so he ran to the Holy Master to ask for a marriage. The third younger sister obeyed Aunt Gong's words and did something outrageous, and Father has nothing to do with her, and now Aunt Gong, the chief culprit, dares to find her, it's really deceiving."

Yan Zhaohua's words made Yan Xiu sit down in embarrassment, propping his head on one hand, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was suffering from a headache.

Pei Xuan looked at Yan Zhaohua, and said cooperatively:

"There is such a thing? It's really unheard of. This Aunt Gong has really gone too far. Master Hou... how do you plan to deal with it?"

Yan Xiu saw that Yan Zhaohua had already told Pei Xuanhe the whole thing, so he had nothing to hide. Anyway, Pei Xuan would be the son-in-law of the Yan family in a few months, so there was nothing wrong with telling him these things. Tan, helplessly said:
"How to deal with it? If she wants to marry the Tan family, then let her marry. Anyway, the Yan family can't tell the difference. I just pretend that I never gave birth to her. As for Aunt Gong, she has the support of the Duke behind her. We It is not easy to move her, and there is no way to respond."

Pei Xuan folded his hands into his sleeves, and his beautiful eyes flashed brightly. After hesitating for a moment, he asked Yan Xiu tentatively:
"If Master Hou can trust me, I'll check this matter for you, how about it?"

Regarding Gong's matter, Pei Xuan had checked it before, and there was indeed something wrong. Originally, he wanted to discuss with Yan Zhaohua before deciding what to do, but after that, Yan Xiu surrounded the mansion tightly, and he Tan Xianggui was almost caught by Yan Xiu, and he didn't dare to come back later, so this matter was put on hold, and now he brought it up in front of Yan Xiu, and Yan Xiu took the initiative to authorize him, then in the future Even if he really intervened in this matter, Yan Xiu would not find it strange.

Yan Xiu looked at Pei Xuan, a little moved, and said: "What can you investigate? I have already investigated the cause and effect of this matter. Not only the Tan family is at fault, but also that wicked girl. There is nothing to investigate. .”

Yan Zhaohua took over the conversation: "Father, since Pei Xuan wants to help, you can ask him to help. Anyway, I will check again. I am still very vague about how the third sister met Tan Xiaozhi back then. Some details are not clear. It's clear, there's nothing wrong with asking Pei Xuan to help with the investigation."

Pei Xuan cooperated: "Yes, I will definitely investigate the whole story clearly. I can't be blackmailed by a concubine all the time, can I?"

Having said that, if Yan Xiu disagrees, he will be hypocritical. Although he doesn't believe that Pei Xuan can find out any other problems, but Pei Xuan is willing to help, and he is quite kind without making fun of Yan Jia. Now he wants to Help, it's the child's kindness, Yan Xiu doesn't want Pei Xuan's kindness to go to waste, maybe he just wants to perform well in front of himself and Sister Hua, thinking of this, Yan Xiu didn't stop him, nodded and said:
"Well then, you're not an outsider, so I'm not afraid of people who will lose their words in front of you. To tell you the truth, because of that wicked woman, I can't be free for a moment. It's just my indecision. It's because I didn't make up my mind in time that it caused the current consequences. Thank you for your hard work."

After getting Yan Xiu's permission, Pei Xuan and Yan Zhaohua looked at each other knowingly, and the corners of their mouths curled up in unison.Even if there is a problem with the Gong family, it's not right for them, younger generations from different generations, to come forward, but if Yan Xiu is asked to come forward after the investigation is found out, the nature will be different.
