Hua Jiao took Pei An to the sugar cake shop and bought two packets of sugar cubes.

The sugar cube here is not the modern kind of small sugar cube, but a block of maltose as big as half a brick, and the price of the sugar cube is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the darker the color, the more expensive, the lighter the color, the cheaper, the pepper picks around, picks two pieces of sugar with a general texture and color, and buys four pieces for 30 yuan, just three catties.

It's still quite expensive.

The sugar cube she used to make fried chestnuts was quite dark in color, that is, smaller than eggs, she melted it with water, and when she fried the chestnuts, she sprinkled it on the chestnuts little by little, so that she could taste a little sweetness when she ate it, and the reason why Mrs. Yuan was willing to take it out and let her fry the chestnuts was because the sugar cube had been put for a long time, and I heard that Wang Qi brought it back from the northwest and gave it to Mrs. Yuan and asked her to soak in water and drink.

After buying the sugar cubes, the peppercorns bought some floral cloth heads, and the remaining two copper plates bought two strings of sugar gourds, and waited for Pei Ze to come back at the intersection while eating a bunch with Pei An.

It's past noon, and this man hasn't come back, really.

"Third sister-in-law, did my third brother think that we were going home and left first?" Pei An tiptoed and looked at the intersection, eating the sugar gourd with relish, "Why don't we go first?" ”

"No, let's just wait for him here." Hua Jiao's eyes squinted at the man wearing the hat, and when he saw that he was still following them from a distance, he suddenly felt that even the sugar gourd in his hand was not so delicious, what did this person want to do......

People come and go in the town, and there are so many rich people, why do you keep staring at her!

Just thinking about it, I heard Pei An shouting loudly: "Third sister-in-law, look and see, my third brother is back." ”

When Pei Ze approached, Hua Jiao hurriedly greeted him and said in a low voice: "Someone has been following us today, look at it, it's the ...... wearing a hat in the back."

As he spoke, Hua Jiao quietly glanced back, and was surprised to find that the person wearing the hat was gone, and seeing Pei Ze frowning, he hurriedly said, "Someone is really following us, and he was still there just now?" ”

"Maybe you're wrong!" Pei Ze glanced around, and said disapprerovingly, "It's okay, you guys go back first, I still have something to deal with, and I have to go back later." ”

"Have you taken care of the Bao Shantou matter?" Pepper asked.

Pei Ze looked at her, nodded slightly, and said, "I've signed the paperwork." ”

"Oh." Huajiao nodded and said suspiciously, "Then, if you don't go back, what are you doing here?" ”

She felt that the man wearing the hat had seen Pei Ze and hid.

And she concluded that he certainly hadn't gone far.

"I have a friend who runs a teahouse here, and I haven't seen him for many years, so I went to see him." Pei Ze said lightly, "If you don't want to go back, go with me, and then go back with you when I talk to him for a while." ”

As soon as Hua Jiao was about to say yes, he saw Guan Mao and Guan Sheng walking over from the dock with a smile, Guan Mao squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Third brother, Hua Jiao, are you shopping?" ”

The two are quite close!

Guan Sheng sneered.

"It's you!" Huajiao greeted the two with a smile, and then remembered that the brothers were carrying bags on the dock, Pei Chunhua was quite annoying, but the two brothers Guan Mao and Guan Sheng gave her a good impression, at least not so annoying.

"Are you going back to the village?" Pei Ze asked the brothers expressionlessly.

"Yes, I finished work early today, so let's go back now, together?" Guan Mao wiped his sweat, touched Pei An's head, and asked with a smile, "Have you had fun?" ”

"Well, after eating the meat buns, the third sister-in-law is fine." Pei Anxing replied impulsively.

"Then you can go back together!" Pei Ze said to Hua Jiao, "Tell my family, I'll go back later, don't wait for me to eat." ”

"Okay." Sichuan pepper readily agreed.

Regarding the presence of the Mao Guansheng brothers, she was not afraid.

Pei Ze turned around and left.

Guan Sheng stepped forward and took the back basket on the back of the pepper: "I'll come." ”

"Thank you then." Sichuan pepper obediently gave the back basket to Guan Sheng.

The four of them walked through the bustling crowd and walked towards the outside of the town, Guan Mao was very talkative, and asked, "Didn't you say that the second brother was going to come and carry the bag with us?" Why didn't you see him coming? ”

"I don't know." Sichuan pepper looked cold.

She didn't want to mention Pei Man's brute at all.

Guan Mao seemed to remember this, closed his mouth knowingly, was silent for a moment, and then pointed to the teahouse at the crossroads, and said casually: "Do you see that Mingxiang Pavilion?" It was newly opened two months ago, and I heard that the owner was a foreigner, so I wondered how the third brother knew the owner of Mingxiang Pavilion. ”

Sichuan pepper smiled, no squeak.

Turning her head to look at the teahouse, they didn't know, and she didn't know!

It doesn't matter if she doesn't look at it, she was startled when she saw it, oh my God, she was surprised to find that the person wearing the hat appeared again, he seemed to know that Pei Ze was in the Mingxiang Pavilion, and was wandering unhurriedly at the intersection near the teahouse, if it wasn't for the fact that Hua Jiao had already found out that he was following her before, she couldn't see anything unusual about that person at this time, after all, there were many people wandering around the town and they were also very mixed.

What to do?

Do you want to inform Pei Ze?

After thinking about it, Huajiao stopped and said, "You guys take Brother An back first, I have something to talk to, tell your third brother." ”

That, she didn't know what to call Pei Ze......

Or, she followed and shouted the third brother?

Guan Mao said: "Go, go, you can go back with the third brother." ”

"Third sister-in-law, I'll go with you to find the third brother." Pei An went to take the hand of Huajiao, and Guan Sheng grabbed him, "Don't follow the fun, go home." ”

"Brother An, you go back with your brothers, I have something to look for your third brother." Huajiao waved his hand at him, turned around and walked towards Mingxiang Pavilion, Mingxiang Pavilion is a three-story teahouse, and a lush layer of green bamboo is planted on both sides of the entrance of the teahouse, which looks very delicate and elegant.

Pepper walked in with her feet raised.

Immediately, a shopkeeper came up: "Girl, please inside, what kind of tea do you drink?" ”

"I'm looking for someone." Hua Jiao said directly, "Was there a person named Pei Ze looking for your shopkeeper just now?" ”

"Who are you?" The shopkeeper looked her up and down, and Hua Jiao said with kindness: "I am his sister." ”

"Oh!" The shopkeeper came to his senses and said busily, "You sit inside first, and I'll go talk to Brother Pei." ”

"Thank you." Huajiao casually found a seat to sit down, there are about twenty or thirty tea tables on the first floor, obviously for entertaining individual guests, the tables and chairs are all uniform mahogany color, even the stairs are also mahogany, very high-grade.

The shopkeeper stepped up to the second floor.

As soon as he walked a few steps, he saw Pei Ze and the proprietor Sheng Mingyan walking out of the private room, and the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Brother Pei, your sister is here, waiting for you downstairs!" ”

"Haha, your sister cares about you enough." Sheng Mingyan turned his head to look at Pei Ze and said meaningfully, "Go quickly, don't let people wait in a hurry." ”

Just now the two of them saw the little girl who hurriedly walked in on the second floor.

When I asked, I found out that the little girl turned out to be the Pei family looking for a little daughter-in-law for Pei Ze, which was interesting.

"Then I'll go back first." Pei Ze said lightly, "You are close to the dock, you can inquire more about this matter, and if there is news, go to the village to find me." ”

"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as I can." Sheng Mingyan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm messing with you, whatever you say is what you say." ”

Pei Zexin walked downstairs.

Hua Jiao hurriedly got up and walked in front of him, and said softly: "Third, third brother, the person wearing the hat is outside the teahouse......"

"I know." Pei Ze looked at her and said softly, "Let's go!" ”

Sichuan pepper breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that he knew, he knew that he knew, so what did she come to report, really!

"Girl, remember to come to the town for tea later." Sheng Mingyan smiled and said, "My third brother and I are brothers, and we are both our own people. ”

"Okay, thank you." Sichuan pepper.

In fact, she really wanted to know who the person wearing the hat was.

But Pei Ze didn't say it, and she was embarrassed to ask

The two of them went out of the town silently, along the mountain path when they came, slowly climbed up the mountain beam, there were quite a lot of trees in all directions, the mountain wind was swaying, circling from the treetops, there was no one on the road, gloomy, Hua Jiao couldn't help but speed up his pace, trotting all the way behind Pei Ze, walking and walking, Pei Ze suddenly stopped, Hua Jiao hit his head on him, suddenly made a big red face, and subconsciously said: "I'm sorry, I ......"

"Look ahead." Pei Ze coughed lightly.

The pepper followed the prestige and couldn't help but gasp.

Two men in black with hats silently appeared on the mountain road in front of them, looking at them with indifferent expressions......
