Chapter 186: A Thousand Days of Sleep
Noticing that the little girl's bright eyes flashed with surprise, Pei Yan smiled, and her voice was flat: "There are some things that need to be asked clearly." ”
To be honest, the reason why he has stayed in the Pei family all these years and has not left is that he feels that the Pei family is in Yecheng, which is relatively remote from the imperial city, which is more suitable for hiding his identity, and of course, there are things he has been investigating.
It was already an old thing more than ten years ago, if it weren't for the conversation between the old lady and the second room that he overheard two years ago, I am afraid that he would not have doubted such an unbelievable thing in his life.
Thinking of this, the smile on the young man's face cooled a little.
Qiao You replied in a low voice, his face shallow. The hand under the table suddenly reversed, holding the young man's wrist, the warm palm wrapped the young man's cold wrist, and a burst of warmth came from the little girl's beautiful and fair hand, and Pei Yan's cold eyes were eroded by the warmth.
There was an autumn wind blowing in the courtyard, and the tablecloth in front of the little girl was blown over, and it almost fell on Qiao You's face.
Pei Yan stretched out his other hand in time to block in front of the little girl, his slender and good-looking fingers grabbed the light-colored tablecloth and stuffed it into the gap between the wrists of the round table, and then, with a gentle movement, he sorted out the somewhat wrinkled shirt on Qiao You's body.
The intimacy between the two and the people next to them really shamed the faces of others.
This table is full of girls and sons of the same age, where have I seen them so unabashedly close.
One by one, I was very surprised, I had heard that the little boss who was in the moon on this day was a girl who did not stick to small things and behaved openly. I also know that this girl's family has a good match.
Unexpectedly, this girl not only brought her good friends over, but also was so bold and open, asking the man to tidy up his clothes in front of everyone, which was an intimate move by the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Yueguo is not so conservative, but I haven't heard of a regular girl who asks a man who is not related by blood to sort out her clothes, and she does it in front of them.
What a bold girl's house.
Don't ask them why they know, compare this Qiao You is also a popular figure in this Ye City. Not to mention opening such a restaurant on his own at a young age, he also rejected the overtures of Yuan Ziyi, the dream lover of most girls in Yecheng, and the rumors about her are almost impossible to count.
Qiao You only felt that the eyes looking at them around were very strange, and when he looked up, those who were looking at the two of them immediately looked away, smiled at the people around him who were not familiar with each other, or casually mentioned the weather.
Qiao You: "......"
She didn't think there was anything wrong with tidying up her clothes, in their world, let alone tidying up, even kissing was a normal thing.
The girl sitting next to Qiao You's eyes flashed, lowered her gaze randomly, and thought in her heart.
There were more than a dozen tables of guests in the courtyard, noisy and shouting, and when the sound of firecrackers rang out outside, the guests moved their chopsticks.
In the dark, dressed as a little girl, she looked at her son-in-law very intimately picking up vegetables for Miss Qiao You, and she only felt extremely frightened.
At first, he was very surprised when he knew that Childe was going to come over to eat noodles, but he didn't expect that Childe hated eating noodles so much.
Although there are chopsticks on it, the dust that fills the yard is blown up by the wind, and it is inevitable that it will fall into it. Although it is said that there is nothing dirty in the field in the wilderness, Childe is a hypocrisy, and if it can be clean, it must be clean to the end.
Sure enough, Childe is a scheming person, and he behaves generously in front of other girls, and in private, he knows that he is embarrassed by them as subordinates.
Qi Xi complained indignantly in his heart, of course, he prides himself on being steady, and it is naturally impossible to say this, otherwise, where will his face go.
Just thinking about it, Qi Xi lowered his head slightly, and walked towards Pei Yan's table with a plate of vegetables in his hand.
A burst of the smell of braised pork above his head rushed over, and Pei Yan saw that there was an extra bowl of braised pork in front of him.
Qiao You subconsciously raised his head, and just saw the appearance of the little girl, he couldn't help but be stunned, his beautiful eyes widened slightly, and he was a little surprised.
He was very honest, put the braised pork on the table and retreated.
He didn't want to be a little girl, but there was no way, Gongzi had to say that this would ensure the safety of Miss Qiao You, he was bitter, but he didn't say it.
Hey, why is it even more difficult for their son to serve after he meets the girl he likes?
Think about the two of them, how come he always does unlucky things, is it because he has a good face?
After thinking about it, Zhu Ge's often cold and dark face, although it is good-looking, but the eyes of the black hole and the ice face that have not changed for thousands of years, it is scary to look at, and he is indeed not a good talker.
Thinking like this, Qi Xi seemed to suddenly understand something, and his hand holding the chassis tightened a little, and he secretly scolded Zhu Ge in his heart for being unkind.
As Zhu Ge has become more and more silent over the years, the tasks assigned by Gongzi to this guy have become more and more simple and atmospheric, and sometimes, even things like going to Fireworks Willow Lane are left to Zhu Ge to do.
Ahem, of course he didn't want to go to that kind of place, although the girls in it were all good-looking, but, uh, he was a principled person, and he would definitely not ......
Off topic, he shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts in his head. Xindao himself will also learn from Zhu Ge in the future, so that in the future, he will dress up as a little girl, run to someone's account office in the middle of the night to be a thief, and paste things on people's faces, so he doesn't need to do such things.
Of course, it wasn't long before he understood why his tasks were all dirty and tiring these days.
It seems that he thought that it would be easier in the future, the pace under his feet was much brisker, the eyebrows of Qingjun were a little softer, and the maid who was passing by couldn't help but blush, ashamed and surprised.
They don't know when such a handsome and good-looking little guy came to the house.
Qiao You watched Qi Yi leave, and of course, she didn't miss the change in the expression on his face at that time.
She suddenly felt that she was not so accurate in seeing people, this analysis looked like a steady and serious person before, but just a few glances, I always felt that the analysis was calm, in fact, inside, the same as his master, the essence of the drama is the same.
Pei Yan saw that the little girl's gaze had been following until she left, her face couldn't help but sink, and she wondered if she wanted to send her to a farther place, she was always dangling in front of the little girl, what did she want to do.
If he knew what Pei Yan was thinking, he would have been able to vomit blood and die on the spot.
Listen, is this still what people say, it's clearly a task arranged by himself, and now it's a rake, is it easy for them to be guards?
Not long after eating, Pei Yan made an excuse that his stomach was not very comfortable, and he was taken to the old lady's backyard by Ji Xi.
Today is Pei Shuo's marriage day, and only one maid is left to serve in the courtyard, which is Xiulan.
It's just that Xiulan has been with Pei Shuo almost every night these days, and when Pei Shuo gets married today, where is he comfortable in his heart, he naturally doesn't want to serve in the house, and sneaks into his own room to be lazy.
In this way, it can be said that it is just convenient for Pei Yanxing.
The master and servant had just entered the house, and the smell of medicine mixed with the incense in the house, nondescript, and a faint smell of apricot blossoms. Smelling it, people can't help frowning, the old lady on the bed closed her eyes, her face was slightly pale, and her white hair looked vicissitudes.
Pei Yan felt that something was not right.
Qi Xi quietly closed the door, and when he saw his son-in-law frowning, he immediately said; "Childe, there is a problem with the incense in the house."
Pei Yan nodded.
He walked to the front of the bed and checked the old lady's pulse.
Turning his head to look at Pei Yan, who was checking the aromatherapy on the side, he said, "There are signs of poisoning, but people who use poison are very cautious." The dosage is small. ”
Pei Yan dropped the stove in his hand, the doubts on his eyebrows suddenly dispersed, and a sarcastic smile spread out on his face: "A thousand days to sleep."
A thousand days of sleep, as the name suggests.
The so-called poison is not poison, that's what it says.
This thing was originally an ordinary incense, a sleeping incense that can effectively help people fall asleep. After being handed by someone with a heart, the dose of sleep can be increased in the formula, although it is said that once or twice will not die, but after a long time, it will inevitably hurt people's bodies, smell this thing all day long, even if you don't want to sleep, you have to sleep, in the long run, the medicine into the heart, hurt the bone marrow, will make people die in their sleep.
It can be said that this thing is really a murder without seeing blood. It is even more convenient to use it on people with diseases, after all, no one will suspect that people with diseases are slow to wake up.
This thing is not cheap, and it is a pack of thousands of dollars on the black market.
Those who use this thing are willing to pay for it.
He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to sleep on it for a thousand days, and when he thought of the fragrance of apricot blossoms that had just drifted by, he knew it in his heart. Thousands of days to sleep this thing, in which apricot blossom powder as a medicine, is inevitably indispensable.
"Childe, should we ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he listened to him: "No need. ”
He was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask why, but he almost asked, and when he thought of what happened before, he immediately shut up.
Pei Yan returned to the table, and everyone didn't suspect anything, although the hours were longer, but the people were also brought over by the little servants of Pei's Mansion, maybe the thatched house was far away from here.
He had just come back from the front foot, and Pei Shuo, as today's groom official, naturally wanted to come over to toast, and it just so happened that they were left at the table.
When he saw Qiao You, a trace of disgust flashed on Pei Shuo's face, and the dirty thoughts he had for Qiao You before turned into disgusting anger at this moment, but this emotion was fleeting.
