Lucky not to forget

Chapter 22

The next day Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng came back briskly, their eyes were black and blue, probably because of overwork last night.Pei Zhen greeted them outside the gate, presented him with two bags of dry food and two thousand-mile horses, and after saying goodbye to him, they jumped on the horses, whipped the horses and headed straight to Yingtian.

Standing under the eaves, Pei Zhen folded her hands and squinted her eyes to look into the distance. Why is that jade shaking, won't it fall off?It's really hard work, traveling thousands of miles a day, and still can't sleep peacefully at night, it's strange that these two people are sallow and emaciated, doing evil and evil!
The assistant was crying, and moved his fingers carefully and said, "These two people! They drank 180 taels of silver in the flower wine! It's not that I don't feel sorry for my money, I just asked someone to carry the silver in, it's such a big pile! My heart..."

Pei Zhen spat and said, "Kong Kong has grown a head! Is there only cash in the account room? Where are the bank notes? Just take two. I'm stupid, and I still have the face to say it!"

Seeing that the sun has risen quite high, I looked into the gate of the house, only saw the servant girls walking back and forth, thinking that this Danyu must have fallen asleep, what time did he not wake up!Seeing that Zhu'er was still deep in thought, he curled his lips and said, "You call Laiwang to prepare the car, and wait at the corner gate, then see if Miss Qi is up, and watch me back and forth." No, I'm afraid that if she says something bad, it will mess up the matter, and I have to rely on myself in an emergency.

Pei Lang adjusted her clothes and came out of the gate. She was taken aback when she saw Pei Zhen outside the door. "Big brother, is he going out? It's sunburnt under the sun."

Pei Zhen said, "My wife told me to take Danyu out for a stroll, and I'm waiting for her."

Pei Lang helped the square scarf on his head and sneered, "What's that big bug worth? Why do you have to wait like this! Why don't you just go back to your room and wait, it won't work."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "Go ahead, those students are still waiting, don't miss the hour."

It's funny to say that a person like Pei Lan is actually a teacher in the county school. He has seventeen or eighteen candidates who were selected this year. But he is unrestrained, with several wives, big and small!Pei Zhen sometimes sighs, after all, the two brothers are very similar in most places, but he is more picky about women.

Pei Ling cupped her hands, quickly got on the chair, and pondered again, "Madam asked me to tell Danyu about her family, where did I get the skills! Will my parents-in-law want to blame me when they see her in the future? Why bother to do such a shameless thing, and kill a good scholar! Just take care of her, I'm going to school."

The ball was kicked back and forth, and finally it came to him!My own affairs have yet to be resolved, so I don't have time to worry about other things!Pei Zhen waved him to go in annoyance, and walked back to Tao Ranxie by herself.

Qi Danyu finally got dressed and was able to go out. He saw a carriage parked at the gate, only the roof had no enclosure, and the four corners were supported by pillars carved with chicken wing wood, which looked like Qin Shihuang's dragon chariot.

Danyu felt sorry for him, and asked Pei Zhen, "Big brother, won't your head be beheaded if you ride in such a car?"

"There's no dragon pattern, and it's not black and red. How can you break a taboo? If you're afraid, then sit in an oil tent." Pei Zhen said, thinking to himself, it's absolutely impossible to ask someone to carry you in a bamboo sedan chair , how many bearers do you have to bring?It is better to take a horse-drawn carriage.

Danyu waved her hands again and again and said, "No need." The little girl helped her into the car, and seeing Pei Zhen jumping onto a tall black and shiny horse, she asked strangely, "Don't you take the car?"

The corners of Pei Zhen's mouth twitched a few times, and he said with a smile, "I don't like to ride in a carriage." Holding up his oil paper umbrella again, the group of people slowly walked towards Li Xuezhai.

From a distance, I saw the girl in Li Xuezhai chatting with the customer, her face was as bright as spring and snowy, she smiled sweetly, indescribably gentle and soft, Pei Zhen pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous in her heart, such a person like a jade carving, It's really tangled, you can't be alienated, you can't be close, if you can just bite your teeth and accuse her family of a crime, she will naturally belong to him, there are many ways, but I just can't bear to do it.

Don't look forward to standing still on the threshold when sending the guests out, isn't that Master Zhen who has been running away for several days?Since being carried back by the servant that day, I haven't been here for six or seven days, so what are you doing today!Gu Wang was a little angry, but also faintly happy, and he straightened his face and gave him a blessing, and said, "Mr. Pei is here."

Pei Zhen got off her horse and returned the gift before she was about to speak. Danyu threw off the maid and rushed towards Wuwang like a butterfly—
"Chun-jun, how are you?"

Wu Wang nodded and smiled lightly, "Are you coming to the city today? Is your mother here?"

Danyu said, "I came here yesterday, I stayed at the elder brother's house overnight, and I came here specially to see you today."

Wu Wang led them in, poured tea, took two plates of snacks, and said, "I don't have any hospitality here, only these, I'm neglecting you."

Pei Zhen looked at her carefully, with a tired look on her face, and asked, "Are you tired these days? If you're too busy, you should hire someone."

Wu Wang said, "I was busy a few days ago, but now that it's so hot today, the business is much lighter. Only when the sun is not up, there are customers, and I will be free later."

The waxy and soft voice poured into Pei Zhen's heart like a clear spring. He lowered his head calmly, his heart throbbing, and he didn't think it was funny. People in their 20s still look like kids, so they were at a loss.

Danyu looked around and saw that the store was well-decorated and spotlessly clean. The pastries on the table were small and exquisite, so she took them out and tasted them slowly, praising, "It's really delicious, you made it?"

Wuwang arranged the jujube paste cakes that were messed up by the guests just now, and replied, "My aunt made it, I just helped."

Danyu looked left and right, did not see Liu Hong and his wife, and asked, "Where's your uncle and aunt?"

Wuwang sat down and said, "How can three people rely on one store? The business is slow now. My uncle has gone out to work as a bookkeeper. My aunt sent snacks to Defenglou early in the morning, and set up a shed at the base of the city wall to sell herbal tea and Chai Pan Wonton, I only do the morning market, come back at noon to see what dim sum is missing, and then make some more, and there is nothing to do in the afternoon.”

Danyu thought, it's so hard!If it was her mother, she would rather have a famine and fight autumn winds everywhere than earn such a life-saving money.

Seeing Danyu's expression, Wu Wang smiled and said, "We poor people, what's the point of this idea!"

Danyu blurted out, "Why do you have to suffer, marrying my elder brother means you can live comfortably!"

These words startled the two of them. Pei Zhen had a headache. She had known for a long time that she was unreliable. It would only be embarrassing if she said it in front of him. Shouldn't private conversations between girls be hidden in the room? of it!

Danyu finally realized that she had picked the wrong timing, and she felt sleepy for a while.

Wu Wang didn't take her words to heart, stood up, brought his sleeves to refill tea for the two of them, his wrists were slender, and the meridians under the flesh could be seen clearly, Danyu choked again, thinking, no wonder the elder brother Even I think it's good to get confused.

Wu Wang said, "Take a seat, both of you, I'll go in and have a look at the steamed cherry cake on the cage."

Danyu wanted to chase after him, but was secretly held back by Pei Zhen, just as he was wondering, Uncle Zhen said gently, "I'll move the cage for you.

"

It stands to reason that it is not good for a girl who has not been out of the court to be alone with a man. It is hoped that although her family suffered a disaster when she was young, she grew up in the countryside, and now she is out in public and doing business in a shop, but she still understands these rules, so she hurriedly declined, "No Please trouble young master, the cage is not very heavy, I can do it by myself."

Pei Zhen smiled and said, "It's nothing more than a little effort, girl, don't be polite." Then he went straight to the room.

Wu Wang sighed and had no choice but to follow in.

He lifted the lid of the cage, tried it with chopsticks, and it was almost cooked through, so he went to the stove and extinguished the fire in the chamber, and after a while, he could come out of the cage.

Pei Zhen was a little awkward on the side, and said, "The bitch offended the girl that day, so Pei made an apology to the girl, just please don't annoy me, otherwise Landu will be wronged even if he dies."

Speaking of that day, Wu Wang was indeed angry, and said, "Young Master Pei is kind to Chunjun's family, maybe Grandma has misunderstood it, but that day was not too bad, it's okay. I shouldn't see you today, I'm afraid that the whereabouts of the melon field and Li are real, but I'm the only one in the shop, and it's not easy to close the shop, and Danyu is here, so it's not easy to be rude..."

"Chun Jun," Pei Zhen said with a slight smile, "Are you still annoyed with me? Let's calm down. I was not feeling well a few days ago, and I didn't care about it. I just remembered that Brother Pei's letter is in my house yesterday." Come on, it's brought to you now."

It was really a strong medicine, the hopeless resentment dissipated, and he sat on the sidelines holding Depei's letter and looked at it.In the letter, I greeted my parents and sister, told me what I saw on the road and anecdotes in the army, and said that he was very good in Peiping, and that my master and superiors looked up to him, so I told my family not to worry about him.

Wang Wang was very comforted and grateful to Pei Zhen, saying, "Brother Pei is fine, it's all up to you to take care of him. He is still young, and he has never traveled far. This trip has traveled thousands of miles." Tears are shining.

"Don't do this, just read the letter and drop the golden beans, so what if I ask someone to let him come back next time." Pei Zhen said, pulling a sweat towel from his sleeve to wipe her tears, who knows a piece of silk? His handkerchief also fluttered down, with orchids and butterflies embroidered on it, it was the one that he had hoped not to make a mouse for him that day.Surprised by seeing Wuwang, he hastily picked it up and stuffed it back into the armhole, and said with a shy smile, "Young lady reward me."

Wang Wang was really blushing at this time, and said anxiously, "I forgot when you were drunk that day, pay me back quickly."

Pei Zhen didn't panic, and said calmly, "If you give it to me, it's mine. There's no reason to take it back! If you want it, then I'll give you my sweat towel. It's okay to change it."

Wu Wang's pretty face was blushing, biting her lip, not knowing what to do.There are already people spreading rumors outside, and now that the veil is given to him, he can't tell clearly even if he has a long mouth all over his body!

Seeing her little daughter-in-law being wronged, Pei Zhen laughed three times in her heart, pretended to lift the lid of the cage to look inside, and said, "Can you get out of the cage? You can get the cake out, I'll come Move the cage."

I couldn't help but stomped my feet and turned around to bring a tray, soaked the sackcloth and spread it on top, and then stacked the cherry cakes piece by piece. My heart was agitated, and I said to Pei Zhen, "If you don't pay me back, I will pay you back." I can't do anything about you, I just ask you not to take it out where there are many people, even if I have taken care of me."

Pei Zhenwei was a little annoyed, but on second thought, the girl's skin is thin, and she gave away all the handkerchiefs, so she didn't care about others.He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I'm always busy these days, have you ever looked forward to me?"

It was clear that the words were teasing, but his face was serious, don't think he heard it wrong, looked at him foolishly and said, "Mr. Pei, didn't you sleep well last night? Why are you talking in your sleep so early in the morning!"

Pei Zhen froze, unable to speak for a while.
