Pei Xingyan's heart...... It hurts.

As the saying goes: the mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy.

For this unrequited love that has ended before it has even begun, he hopes to draw a perfect end to his wishful thinking. However, when he saw the scene of King An Le and his sister of the martial family talking about Zhenghuan, Pei Xingyan had to admit that he was jealous and even a little angry.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, he drank this cup full of bitter wine. Pei Xingyan didn't know if the wine could turn into lovesick tears after it entered the bowels, but he felt very deeply that the wine entered the bowels and turned into a jar of old vinegar.

Looking at Pei Xingyan, who had a bitter and hateful face, Tang Xiao felt a little inexplicable.

Pei Yuanqing: What's wrong? To toast a glass of wine and make such a big momentum, I shouldn't have offended him, right?

Although Tang Xiao felt inexplicable in his heart, he still raised his glass and drank.

"Pei ......"

Before the words came out, he saw Pei Xingyan smile bitterly and turned around and left resolutely.

Tang Xiao looked at Wu Jue awkwardly and asked, "General Pei, what's wrong?" ”

"I don't know."

"I heard that your swordsmanship is very good, do you want to make an appointment to learn a few tricks?" In order to resolve the embarrassment, Tang Xiao could only find something to say.

"Okay."

Such a concise and clear answer made Tang Xiao even more embarrassed. He grabbed the snacks on the table and asked, "Aren't you going to eat something?" ”

"Not hungry."

The hand that was about to be handed out suddenly retracted, and he bit off most of the snack in one bite.

"Aunt Yang has been living in my house for the past few days, where are you staying tonight?"

"Barracks."

"And what about tomorrow?"

"Hou Mansion."

Tang Xiao asked a lot of questions, but Wu Jue jumped out word by word, extremely perfunctory. This feeling made him very depressed, and it was really 'I wanted to smile at the sky, but a brick was knocked down'. Why did such a superb woman become his future daughter-in-law?

"It's rumored that you're ugly, is that true?"

Tang Xiao's retaliatory words really made Wu Jue stunned. She raised her head and looked at Tang Xiao carefully, then she withdrew her gaze and said slowly, "It's not as ugly as you." ”

"Poof...... cough cough cough ......"

Tang Xiao squirted out the wine that had just entered his throat and coughed violently.

Wu Jue glanced at the embarrassed Tang Xiao, and a smile flashed in his eyes. She took out a plain silk handkerchief from her sleeve and placed it on the table, then got up to leave.

Tang Xiao hurriedly picked up the handkerchief on the table, wiped off the corners of his mouth and the wine stains on his body, and said, "Give the handkerchief back to you!" ”

"You keep it."

Tang Xiao took the handkerchief into his arms and stepped forward: "I'm also about to leave, let's go together." ”

Wu Jue stopped and pushed out his palm: "No, I'll go by myself." And...... You're annoying. ”

Everyone looked at Zhenbei Hou drifting away, and then looked at King Anle's extremely depressed face, and they all lowered their heads and stole fun. Even Yu Chi Baoqi, He Ruoying and others were holding back a smile, and it was very hard.

Tang Xiao bowed his head and left, full of depression.

This is probably the most embarrassing and humiliating time since he came to Chang'an.

When passing by the last seat, I happened to see Changsun Zhan who was gnawing on chicken legs, and suddenly thought of the words left by Wu Yu when he left, and felt aggrieved in his heart.

I'm annoyed? Come on! The main owner who can really annoy people to death is gnawing chicken legs here! What's the fuck bothering me?

Leaving the palace, Tang Xiao didn't return to the palace, and rode out of Mingde Gate directly on the snow and went to Nanshan Grange. He didn't want to stay in Chang'an City and be laughed at by everyone, so he simply left for a few days and went out to hide quietly.

And just like that, it took five days to go.

Tang Xiao stared at the construction in the Grange, and he didn't have time to think about those troubles. However, I also knew a lot of news about myself in Chang'an City through Li Erzhu's report.

After Li Erzhu's report every day, Tang Xiao would chop a large pile of firewood angrily. Those farmers trembled as they watched Tang Xiao rob them of their work, wondering in their hearts, why did His Royal Highness King An Le like chopping wood so much?

In the first two or three days, Tang Xiao patiently listened to Li Erhammer's report, but there was not a word of good news about him. Listening to Li Erhammer, even north of Xianyang and east of Xiaqi began to spread that King Anle wanted to marry the living king of Yama, and some people even made up some stories, which became the hottest joke in teahouses and restaurants for a while.

Tang Xiao can only be regarded as a disaster for the pond fish, and it was Wu Yu who really caught fire at the city gate.

If a woman is too capable, it is easy to be jealous and make up right and wrong. Those who are jealous dare to say anything.

If you want to ask how terrible the rumors are, Tang Xiao knows best. In the era of information explosion in the previous life, everyone was full of money, and a rumor was enough to kill people.

Fortunately, those people cared about the identities of Zhenbei Hou and King Anle, and only ridiculed and ridiculed the appearance and character of the two, and no more vicious words came out. Just these, Tang Xiao naturally didn't bother to deal with it. As for Wu Jue, according to her cold and indifferent character, she must not be too lazy to listen.

The newly built houses in the Grange are already habitable, and they are all made of uniform fire walls and ondols, and firewood and grass are burned in the stove hole behind the house, so that even if you wear a single coat, you will not feel cold in the room.

Su Qingjie doesn't even go back to his own house now, he stays in the grange all day, and his small life is very comfortable. Yu Chi Baoqi learned a few days ago that Tang Xiao hid in Nanshan Grange and came uninvited, and now he is not leaving.

In the distance, the clouds and mist of Qinghua Mountain are ethereal, and the snow on the top of the mountain reflects a dazzling light in the sun. At the foot of the mountain, more than half of the blast furnaces for firing cement have been built. In the open space of the brick kiln, the burned red bricks are transported to various places by truck. Not far away, the waterwheel has already started working, connecting the paper mill and the iron mill, and the production efficiency will be increased several times in the future.

The construction of the Grange is still in full swing, and in just ten days, more than 10,000 taels of silver were spent. However, everything is beginning to take shape, and when the construction is completed before the year, you will be able to make a lot of money next year.

Only by seeing these can Tang Xiao's mood be better.

On the riverside not far from the grange, Tang Xiaozheng was eating hot pot with Su Qingjie and Yu Chi Baoqi in the fishing pavilion that had just been built, and from time to time they were fighting for a piece of fish.

On the iron charcoal rack next to it are two roasted rabbits, exuding a rich aroma of meat. In front of the pavilion, four or five fishing rods were neatly erected, and there were a few fat fish waiting to be slaughtered in the bucket next to it.

It didn't take long for the two rabbits to be eaten by Su Qingjie and Yu Chi Baoqi to the point that only a bunch of bones remained, but the two foodies were obviously not full yet. Su Qingjie had already rushed to the bucket with a dagger, and after a while, he disemboweled several fish. Yu Chi Baoqi brushed honey with one hand and stuffed spices into the belly of the fish with the other, and her skills were skillful, and she knew that she had done these things at a glance.

"You two foodies, you haven't eaten yet!" Tang Xiao rubbed his stomach and looked at the two, speechless for a while.

"Brother worry-free, if you control your appetite like this, you will lose weight like a lightning."

This sentence was said by Tang Xiao after he was drunk the day before yesterday, but he was firmly remembered by Yu Chi Baoqi, and he has been on his lips for the past two days. He enjoyed it and repeated it tirelessly, and Tang Xiao almost vomited when he heard this.

Although wine is good, you really can't be greedy!

"Don't worry, have you heard?" Su Qingjie handed the last fish to Yu Chi Baoqi, turned around and said, "Your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door has been made up a new story again." ”

Tang Xiao frowned and asked, "What is it this time?" ”

Su Qingjie smiled wryly: "You have to swear first, if I say it, you can't beat me!" ”
