Chapter 80: Gaffe
Pei Qiming's brows furrowed slightly, he looked at Xie Zhaolin with a strange gaze, and asked a second time: "You did it yourself?" ”
There was silence in the reception room, and a rare gust of wind creaked through the open carved wooden window, and at the same time brought down the bottle of "Berlin Maiden" that had not yet been corked, and suddenly the perfume was sprinkled on the table, and a unique fragrance overflowed.

This aroma naturally wafted to the noses of Xie Xuelin and others. Xie Xuelin asked herself if she didn't know much about incense, as long as it smelled good, but this time, she also felt that there was something different about this fragrance.
It was like the natural air that permeated the pine and cypress, and then a beam of sunlight penetrated through, dispelling the cold of the greenery, and standing under the beam was a hazy girl.
It was a new and never-before-seen experience, and she couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised by the fact that her eyes widened and she felt that victory was in sight.
Compared with the surprise of Xie Xuelin and others, Pei Qiming's expression was very complicated. It was not the first time he had smelled this smell, but he remembered this strange aroma so vividly that he still remembered the beautiful girl in the pine and cypress in his mind.
The difference is that the owner of the face he automatically replaced is no longer there.
"Is this really made by you?!" The third time, the tone is getting more and more impatient.
Xie Zhaolin didn't understand why Pei Qiming had such a reaction, but he could understand what he meant. Don't you just don't believe it? Do you still suspect that she found someone to do it in advance and then brought it?
An inexplicable feeling of humiliation came up, and Xie Zhaolin heard that his voice was no longer so gentle and soft, but with a cold and fierce: "Then what does Pei Gongzi think, could it be that I found someone to bring it myself?!" ”
The fruits of his labor were questioned, which was one of the few places where Xie Zhaolin could not bear it.
After listening to Xie Zhaolin's rhetorical question, Pei Qiming did not deny it, which undoubtedly confirmed her guess. He looked straight at her with a pair of deep eyes, as if to wait for her to admit it herself.
Suddenly, a sourness welled up in his eyes, Xie Zhaolin resisted the urge to cry, and continued to defend himself: "In this case, how did Childe tell me how did I know that you were going to come up with this topic?" I didn't digress from the work just now, right? ”
It's very simple, you brought a lot of perfume with you, and you happened to be lucky enough to bump into it. Pei Qiming wanted to answer like this, but when he saw Xie Zhaolin's red eyes, he was somehow a little speechless.
This girl was thinner than when he first met, and her slender body was wrapped in a wide dress, which now looked very pitiful.
Although Pei Qiming's first impression of her was extremely bad, he still thought that Xie Zhaolin's nonsense speech at the Spring Festival and falling into the water to save her were intentional, and his scheming was disgusting.
Including the maid Green Eyelet later, he bluntly said that he was interested in her, and if he didn't tie the two together and let outsiders misunderstand, then maybe he would be responsible for the girl's reputation in the future.
But today's incident, he also admitted that he seemed to be a little excessive. If Xie Zhaolin appeared here, he could still explain it as following him and offering his courtesy. And what about what happens after that?
The idea of preparing multiple perfumes was ridiculous, and he knew that there was almost no one else who could make the perfume called "Berlin Maiden".
That's why he was so excited, so unbelievable, that he couldn't accept that another person who could make this kind of incense was something he hated so much.
Just when Pei Qiming was there and didn't know what to say, Xiangjun interrupted this dilemma with a light cough.
"Major General, you don't have to be embarrassed, it's because my skills are not as good as others and I lost, you can judge according to your own ideas."
Just now, she also smelled the smell of "Berlin Girl", and she still admired it a little in her heart.
Seeing that the neurotic Xiangjun was so reasonable, Xie Xuelin was a little surprised, but she also knew that in this case, it was important to ease the current atmosphere first, so she also followed the round and said: "Yes, Major General, we ask you to judge this is exactly what you mean, you can follow what you think in your heart." ”
Now everyone present already understands that Pei Qiming thinks that Xie Zhaolin's incense is more outstanding, but because of Xiangjun's face, Xie Zhaolin is ugly.
And Xiangjun even thought that Pei Qiming was still asking her to do this, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy. Her own strength, she doesn't need to prove it like this, she has her own pride!
Facing the urging and forced gaze of Xiangjun and Xie Xuelin, as well as Xie Zhaolin's red eyes, Pei Qiming, who had been fighting and killing the enemy on the battlefield for many years and was used to licking blood from the knife, was a little overwhelmed.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, and turned over the chair behind him: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at tasting incense, so you'd better be smart!" ”
After speaking, he waved his sleeves and strode away, as if he was fleeing, without looking back.
And as soon as he left, Xie Zhaolin's face couldn't hold back, tears flowed out, she was busy wiping with her hands, but the more she wiped it, she couldn't stop it.
Xie Xuelin hurriedly handed over the handkerchief, and while helping to wipe her tears, she kept comforting her mouth: "Sister, don't be sad, General Pei Shao may have something, but I'm not good, if you have to trouble others, if you want to blame me, blame me." ”
At the end, he pulled Xiangjun on the side and motioned to her to help: "Master Xiang, did you say?" ”
Xiangjun was distracted, and was pulled by someone to react, but his eyes looked at Xie Xuelin and said: "Although the young general didn't say anything, I am willing to bow down, second miss, don't worry, I'll bring that thing to you now." ”
When it comes to incense, although Xiangjun is sometimes abnormal, it is still the same on the whole, at least he will never break his word, which is why Xie Xuelin insisted on getting her cousin over.
But now is the time to talk about this! Xie Xuelin actually hasn't figured out Xie Zhaolin's temperament until now, her tears are falling like she doesn't want money right now, and when she goes home and says that, she will let the eldest sister catch the handle again!
So the most important thing now is to appease Xie Zhaolin first.
The thought turned, Xie Xuelin took advantage of her cousin's inattention, and quickly leaned into Xiangjun's ear and said something.
Xiangjun hesitated a little, as if he still had something to say, but after looking at Xie Zhaolin's appearance, he also nodded in agreement, and personally sent the two out of the door, and said sincerely to Xie Zhaolin: "Miss Xie is amazing, Xiangjun is willing to bow down, there are many offends in today's affairs, and I hope Miss Xie doesn't care, next time we will meet again." ”
When she said this, Xie Zhaolin was also very embarrassed, it seemed that although this Xiangjun looked crazy, he was actually a man of temperament, and he also replied: "Lord Xiang is too polite!" Today's incident is my gaffe, but I'm really not in the mood right now, I will definitely visit again next time, and I hope you don't want to be surprised. ”
After going back and forth like this, and being polite for a while, Xie Zhaolin got into the carriage and really waved goodbye to Xiangjun.
