Chapter 223: The World Is Unpredictable
The four of them went downstairs for dinner.
It was still early, Pei Chunshan went out for the first time, he had nothing to do, made a pot of tea and went to the Wang family and pepper house to sit, Wang didn't let him drink tea: "I can't sleep when I drink tea at night, you still drink it." ”
"I can't sleep without drinking." Pei Chunshan didn't listen to her.
He listened to what the shopkeeper Tang said, and he didn't even enter the door.
I was very upset.
"I'll take care of you." Wang gave him a blank look.
Huajiao got up and walked out, and Wang called out to her: "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to shopkeeper Tang and talk about something." Huajiao didn't want to listen to the two bickering, Wang also got up and walked out, she didn't worry about Huajiao going out alone, Pei Chunshan grabbed her, and said with a dark face, "The shopkeeper Tang is next door, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'm there to take care of her." Wang didn't worry about Huajiao going out alone, Pei Chunshan dragged her to sit down, "She's not a child, why are you staring at it so closely, and you're not afraid of annoying people." ”
Wang's face flushed with anger: "I'm all for her, who did I annoy?" I'm annoying you! ”
"I won't argue with you." Pei Chunshan pointed to the next door, "Listen to what they say." ”
Wang subconsciously relied on his breath and leaned over.
Huajiao knocked on the door, and after getting an answer, he pushed the door with a smile and walked in.
The shopkeeper Tang was sitting in front of the desk drinking tea alone, and when he saw the smile on his face, he got up and said, "The owner is here." ”
Hua Jiao sat down generously and said straight to the point: "Shopkeeper Tang, I want you to help inquire about the whereabouts of the county lord Xiaoxiao, she, is she with the third brother?" ”
Pei Ze should like Li Xiaoxiao at this time, right?
Shopkeeper Tang was slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Okay!" ”
He actually knows the mind of the peppercorn.
Although he didn't know how much Hua Jiao knew about Pei Ze and Li Xiaoxiao, she definitely knew.
"Shopkeeper Tang, no matter what you inquire, I hope you tell me the truth and don't hide it." Hua Jiao said lightly, "So far, there is nothing I can't bear, even if he wants to be with Li Xiaoxiao, I can understand, I just hope that he will do well and not have any accidents,"
"The owner can rest assured, his subordinates will know everything and say everything." Shopkeeper Tang swore an oath, got up and said, "My subordinates will go and inquire." ”
Pepper nodded and went back to her room.
Wang and Pei Chunshan were still lying on the wall eavesdropping, and even Huajiao came back without realizing it, Huajiao couldn't cry or laugh: "Dad, mother, what do you want to know, just ask me." ”
"It's your father, he wants to try, this room is not soundproof, we don't want to hear anything, by the way, are you thirsty? I'll pour you water. Wang was incoherent.
"Not thirsty." Sichuan pepper sat down on the edge of the bed.
Pei Chunshan blushed and went back to the next room in a panic.
When the shopkeeper Tang came back, Wang and Huajiao had not yet slept, and Huajiao did not avoid Wang, and asked Tang's shopkeeper in front of Wang what he had heard, Tang's shopkeeper looked a little dignified, looked at Wang, frowned, and said: "Yesterday, the lord of Xiaoxiao was brought into the palace by the emperor......"
"Why is this happening?" Sichuan pepper was taken aback.
Doesn't Lord Xiaoxiao like Pei Ze?
Although she couldn't tolerate Li Xiaoxiao snatching a man with her, she still felt a little unreasonable when she heard the news.
"I heard that the emperor is fortunate to ......be with her," Tang shopkeeper said in a complicated mood, "I suspect that it is related to the poisoning of our third master, yesterday the third master came to Yucheng in such a hurry to see the driver, because General Li's condition deteriorated, the emperor was eager to take him back to Beijing, the emperor hurriedly met the third master, and then drove back to Beijing, the third master and the lord of Xiaoxiao did not meet." ”
Li Xiaoxiao previously said that the reason why Pei Ze was poisoned was because of Li Xiangxiang's black hand.
But later she flatly denied it.
Thinking about it now, she just didn't want too many people to know about her plan, in the final analysis, the purpose of her entering the palace was to avenge Pei Ze.
"What is Luck?" Wang asked confusedly.
Hua Jiao and Tang shopkeeper looked at each other.
I didn't know what to say for a while.
"Mother, you listen to Shopkeeper Tang first." In front of the shopkeeper Tang, it was not easy for the pepper to explain the meaning of Lin Xing directly to the Wang family, but fortunately, the Wang family was also interested, and sat on the side without saying a word, and then said nothing, the shopkeeper Tang said: "The doctor who treated General Li said that General Li's injury was not serious, but the conditions on the island were too harsh, the climate was humid, and there was a lack of medical treatment, which accelerated the deterioration of the wound. ”
"Alas, it's really unpredictable." Sichuan pepper sighed.
She also thought that Li Xiaoxiao would take this opportunity to be with Pei Ze, but she didn't want to, they didn't even see each other.
After the shopkeeper Tang returned to the house, Wang asked Huajiao again: "Daughter-in-law, what do you mean by luck?" ”
"It's sleeping." Sichuan pepper is straightforward.
Wang's old face was slightly red, and he made the bed to sleep without saying a word.
Huajiao was reluctant to sleep in the same bed with Wang, but Wang was not worried about her and had to share a room with her.
When she went out, she didn't want to screw her with her, and she didn't say anything, but she didn't want to, Wang didn't sleep on the bed with her, but made a bunk under the bed.
Huajiao knew that she couldn't compete with her.
It's up to her.
The next day, the four of them went to Zhennanhou Mansion after breakfast.
Unlike yesterday, a shed was set up at the entrance of the Hou Mansion, and tables, chairs and benches were placed under the shed, and several old women sat there drinking tea in the cold wind.
The guard at the gate lukewarmly beckoned the four to sit down.
The woman in the shed glanced at the four of them vigilantly, and then asked the guard, "When will the Hou Ye come out?" ”
"We don't know about this, you just need to report your name." The guards at the gate threw them a booklet, "If you can't write it, help each other write it, and the Hou Ye will meet you sooner or later." ”
"We are all relatives of Master Hou, you can't fool us." The old women said in unison.
"Don't worry, it won't." The guard lazily said, "Write quickly, I will deal with Master Hou!" ”
"We can't read, so let's write it for us!" The old women scrambled and said, "I'm Zhao Chen, Hou Ye's distant aunt, I also saw him when he was a child!" ”
"I am Zhang Wang, the third aunt of Lord Hou."
"And me, I'm Qian Li, the aunt of Lord Hou."
"I'm Yang Liu, Lord Hou's cousin."
"You, what kind of relatives are you, why don't I know each other?" When the Wang family heard the fire, he snatched the booklet and said angrily, "I am the mother of the Marquis of Zhennan, why don't I know you?" You poor and crazy came here to confess your relatives! ”
"What? Are you the mother of Zhennanhou? Zhao Chen turned his head to look at her, and laughed loudly: "Oh, I'm really bold, okay, you are Zhennanhou's mother-in-law, then you just wait for Zhennanhou to come out and pick you up!" ”
The others laughed along.
Oops, laughed to death.
They are a little embarrassed to pretend to be distant relatives, but they don't want to come to pretend to be their mothers.
Shopkeeper Tang and Pei Chunshan were confused.
Hua Jiao was speechless, and quietly stuffed a piece of silver to the guard: "Official, what's going on?" ”
