When the old forest man returned, it was already dark.

At the time of the meal, there were a lot of guests in Mingxianglou, the second floor was full, and even the first floor was full of diners waiting to eat palace dishes.

In the past few days, Mingxianglou has become the hottest restaurant in Wutong Town, and there is no one.

I still want to eat what I have eaten, and I want to taste what I haven't eaten.

There is an endless stream of old and new customers.

Hua Jiao and Pei Ying were in charge of running the hall and were very busy.

Most of the people sitting on the second floor are old customers, they know the rules, they have booked the table in advance, and the kitchen is very well prepared.

After all the dishes were served, the pepper went to the counter on the first floor to collect the accounts, the old Lin Tou was helping Xu You clean up the table, and saw that the pepper was empty, so he hurriedly stepped forward and told her: "The owner, I have checked the ruts, from the ruts, the two carriages are from two directions into the mountain, one of them is obviously not familiar with the road into the mountain, and has fallen into the mud puddle, but they have all stopped in front of the hut halfway up the mountain, judging from the traces in front of the door, the carriage has been cleaned by the river not far in front of the hut, from which it is inferred, This carriage was the one that came later. ”

Diners came to check out.

Lao Lin Tou stopped talking and went to help Xu You clean up the table.

Xu You understood, called Pei Ying to help, replaced the pepper, Mingxianglou is not the place to speak, the pepper took Lao Lintou back to the new house, Wang and Zhang coaxed Brother Xuan to eat egg custard in the main room, the two went to the guest room on the east side of the room to talk, Lao Lintou continued: "Coming back from the side of Langluo Mountain, I went to the Yamen, but I happened to see a carriage stained with black mud parked at the door of the Yamen, so to speak, it is indeed Wu Zhixian who sent someone to the hut. ”

Sichuan pepper has a complicated mood: "I see, it's ......"

She never imagined that Wu Zhixian would hide so deeply, if it weren't for Pei Ying's unintentional hearing about this, she would never have imagined that Wu Zhixian would actually participate in this matter, even if he didn't participate, he knew it.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Wu Wei happened to be with Pei An at that time, and those people were arrested with Wu Wei by mistake, which shows that they didn't greet Wu Zhixian in advance, and they didn't know Wu Wei.

As soon as Lao Lin Tou wanted to say something, Wang's surprised voice came from outside: "Oh my God, the third child, you are back, are you going to kill us in a hurry?" ”

"Mother, where's the peppercorns?" Pei Ze's voice was a little hoarse.

"She, she's here!" When Wang saw Pei Ze, he was even more aggrieved, and simply pulled the corner of his clothes and cried, "Third brother, Brother An was robbed by someone, what do you say!" ”

"Mother, don't worry, he'll be fine." He heard the news when he was on the road.

Lao Lin Tou's expression was grim, and he immediately got up and walked out, and said movingly: "Hou Ye is back." ”

Hua Jiao was also busy walking out, and the dusty man standing in the shadow of the dim light was not Pei Ze...... When Pei Ze saw her, he didn't say a word, and pulled her into the main room.

Wang also walked in: "Third brother, you have to find a way to bring Brother An'er back, he has never been out of Wutong Town, and Leng Buding went to Nanzhili, but how is it good." ”

"Mother, I know, I have something to say to peppercorns." Pei Ze loosened the hand of the pepper, saw that there was no joy on her face, knew that she was angry and said goodbye without saying goodbye, and said in a low voice, "You listen to my explanation, the situation at that time was indeed a little urgent......

"Oh, we'll talk about that later." Wang interrupted him and began to talk about Pei An again, "Qiu Hu went to Nanzhili's side, and I don't know if I can pick it up." ”

Pei Ze frowned, turned around and entered the clean room: "Mother, I just came back, you have to let me take a breath, I'll go wash up first, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Wang's mouth opened, looked at the peppercorns, and said stupidly: "Then you can rest first!" ”

Only then did Zhang step forward and hand Brother Xuan to Hua Jiao: "I, I'll go to sleep in the guest room." ”

She's from the past.

The two have been reunited after a long absence, and she is not good here.

Hua Jiao nodded and hugged Brother Xuan'er: "Okay, you go to rest first, and hold the bed quilt more, and there is no fire over there." ”

"I'll settle it myself." Zhang went to the guest room with the quilt in his arms.

"Mother, my third brother is back?" Pei Ying ran in excitedly and asked Wang, who pointed to the side of the main room: "Come back, don't go over yet, your third brother is tired and resting!" ”

Pei Ying answered and went to Mingxianglou with interest.

Since entering the wax moon, the clean room has been warm water, convenient for Xuan Ge'er to wash or something, Pei Ze has actually washed last night when he stayed at the inn, but after a day of travel, there is inevitably wind and dust on his body, and he knows that pepper is a love of clean, if he doesn't take a bath, I'm afraid he won't let him hold the child, seeing that his clothes are very neatly folded in the wardrobe, he took a comfortable bath, changed his clothes, and walked out refreshed.

Sichuan pepper is sitting on the bed with the child in her arms and playing.

Brother Xuan has been more than five months, and he is fatter than when he left, Pei Ze bent down and stretched out his hand to Brother Xuan to hug him, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan'er, come, dad hug." ”

Brother Xuan saw him, tilted his little head and looked at him for a while, as if he didn't recognize him, instinctively leaned into Hua Jiao's arms, refusing to follow him, Pei Ze had to sit down next to Hua Jiao, and said softly: "In the past month, I think you have thought about it tightly, and you have long wanted to come back." ”

The peppercorns didn't squeak.

Don't look at him either.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'm not back!" Pei Ze held her shoulder and whispered, "Jiaojiao, my illness is cured, I can remember everything." ”

Peppercorns looked at him with some incredulity.

Pei Ze stretched out his hand and grabbed Brother Xuan'er's little hand and kissed it on his mouth: "What I said is true, you have to believe me, I originally wanted to come back when I sent Xu Yingniang to the capital, but I happened to meet Yuan Hao and returned to Beijing to report on his work, saying that the northwest military doctor Zeng Xi asked him to bring a letter to me, saying that if my illness has not been cured, I will go to the northwest to find him, saying that he has a prescription there Maybe I try it, but I need a medicine for nightshade, so I took nightshade to find him, and I stayed there until now to come back, you have to believe me." ”

"You mean, you remembered everything before?" Sichuan pepper finally opened its mouth.

"I remember." Pei Ze grabbed her hand and kissed her lips again, his eyes blazing, "These days, my mind is full of you and the child, and we will never be separated." ”

Hua Jiao's face suddenly felt hot, and he withdrew his hand: "What about Xu Yingniang?" ”

"She was recuperating from her injuries in Nanzhili, and although she picked up a life, she was too seriously injured and needed to recuperate." Pei Ze said, and insisted on holding Brother Xuan from Hua Jiao's arms, Xuan Ge'er struggled a few times, then lay in his arms and let him hold him, Hua Jiao asked again: "She is so seriously injured, is her child okay?" ”
