Chapter 26: Husband

Although Dani proposed a new direction, she couldn't be sure without asking. Pei Baoer and Liu Yun still went out to run against Xiaoxue according to the original plan, one ran to the medical hall, and the other ran to Dali Village.

In terms of medical centers, it can almost be said that there is zero gain. In the past few days, there has been no woman who is close to Ma's age and description to see the rash on her face, but Pei Baoer learned from one of the old doctors that the disease like she said is relatively rare, and he has only seen a few cases over the years, most of which are due to the impact of eating, and only one case is because of the rash pasted with ointment.

Liu Yun took a little money and asked a mother-in-law to help inquire about the news, saying that Ma often went back to his parents' house because he was married in this village, but about ten days ago, Ma went back and quarreled with his mother's family, and the quarrel was so bad that he fell down, and then when he went out, he had a smile on his face, which was a little weird. As for the rash, I only know that it came on suddenly, but I don't know anything more about the others

Pei Baoer always felt as if something had been ignored by herself, and sat in the "small workshop" while watching Dani melt beeswax with hot water, while thinking thoughtfully.

Just as her eyes suddenly lit up, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard.

It turned out to be a visit from the former prefectural magistrate, and he brought a gift!

He Baixin first cleared his throat in embarrassment, pulled down his old face and apologized to the young lady.

"Pei Niangzi, the old man couldn't live in your house before, but now I have been punished as I deserve. Alas, I just hope you will help us in the past in the love of my wife and girl, I don't know if you can? ”

Pei Bao'er glanced at Liu Yun, who had a pale face, and knew that although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he was actually an easy-going person, and he knew that it was Lin Si who was really to blame. In addition, after that incident, they were not substantially damaged, anyway, it was a blessing in disguise and got on the line with Mrs. Lin. What's more, although this adult is an old fritter and an upright official, he has not made any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes during his years in office, and ordinary cases are handled as fairly as possible. Just like the strange case of the Yang and Ma families, even if Pei Baoer didn't specifically tell him that the cow might be a cow specializing in milk, he would probably buy the cow in order to solve it as soon as possible.

Whether it is public or private, Pei Baoer has no reason to refuse.

"Don't worry, sir, I will testify to you in court then. I'm just afraid that the Ma family will bite back and beat you upside down, I have some friendship with your daughters before, if they know about this, make a fuss about this, and say that I am perjury to cover you up. She thought for a while, and then said: "There were about twenty or thirty people watching when you decided the case that day, and I didn't recognize most of them, but I didn't recognize one Duan Erlang, who was working in Duan's cloth village, and he was a colleague with my family Ayun before." He lives in Song Alley, why don't I go and talk to his wife? ”

He Baixin was grateful, and felt that Pei Baoer thought more fully than herself, and looked at her a few times.

Liu Yun said that she could go out for Pei Bao'er, worried that she would relapse after the cold had just healed, but she still refused after thinking about it. Although her little sheep is easy-going, she is actually not very good at dealing with strangers, let alone He Baixin, a stranger who can be regarded as a holiday, she is afraid that he will go out with a white face and come back with a red face.

Pei Baoer saw that it was still early, so she didn't go to Songxiangzi, and directly took He Baixin to Buzhuang to find that Erlang. The latter saw that it was the old county order who came to find it, and it was an obvious matter, so he naturally did everything, and promised to help testify at that time.

He Baixin was really relieved, and arched his hand to Pei Baoer on the street, ready to leave.

Pei Bao'er said: "Stay, boss!" Seeing that he was a little strange, he smiled and explained: "The previous incident has long passed, and the boss doesn't owe us anything, not to mention that we should speak up for the adult." Therefore, I really dare not accept the generous gifts brought by the adults today. ”

He Baixin touched his beard embarrassedly, the gifts from his own wife and daughter, he can't let him go to someone's house and move back, right?

"It's just that it's not good to brush off the kindness of the boss. In this way, the shop I opened with the Lin family is nearby, if the adults go and choose one or two for the lady and girl, one should be recorded in my account. Well, should it be a New Year's gift to your family in advance? Pei Bao'er is very sincere, she can judge at a cursory glance just now, the He family is not thin, and she casually gives away all kinds of tonic and buys things on several rows of shelves.

He Baixin excused himself, but he couldn't resist Pei Baoer's kindness, so he thanked her and followed him to pick gifts for his wife and daughter.

He sighed that it was the first time in his life that he went to a fat powder shop, and there was really enough fame on this woman's face, and it was really troublesome! As usual, he still complimented Pei Baoer a few words, wishing her a prosperous business and so on.

No one is too obedient, so the two laughed and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

However, this harmony was ended at the moment when He Baixin stepped out of the door of the Jade Pavilion.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the man happened to be standing not far from the street, as if he was looking this way, and seemed to be just standing in the snow in a daze.

He Baixin's old eyes widened, and he rubbed it in disbelief, and the box in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground.

Isn't he old and dizzy? Why did that one come here again?

He Baixin's legs were weak, and he barely walked a few steps over, and was about to kneel on the ground, and when he wanted to kowtow to say goodbye, his arm was gently lifted by the man, and he said first: "This old man has bad legs?" ”

Pei Bao'er's face on the side was also green.

The handsome man who was dressed in moon white, wrapped in a fox fur, but whose face seemed to be whiter than the white fox fur, who else could he be if he wasn't the disciple surnamed Qi?

This person is too time-conscious! Since the last time he "visited the boudoir at night" to today, he pinched his fingers and counted, it seems that it is really sixteen or seventeen days.

He Baixin, who was treated "gently", was stunned, he couldn't help but remember the tragic situation of being scolded last time, and he didn't understand what Qi Heng meant, and he was still wondering if he didn't recognize himself when he took off his official uniform, so he could only nod his head blankly according to his words.

So, Qi Heng said more "gently": "Since that's the case, let's go home and rest early." It's cold, so I don't run outside. The last sentence was a bit meaningful, which made He Baixin feel excited, and hurriedly arched his hand into the carriage next to him, urging his family to drive away.

Pei Bao'er reflexively took a few steps back when He Baixin walked away, and dodged back into the shop.

Well, although she was able to drive him away last time, didn't she occupy the moral high ground at that time? At this time, he didn't do anything excessive, and somehow, she was a little nervous about him.

Pei Bao'er was in a mess, especially when she thought about how to break with the other party to make it clear that she and the original owner were completely two people, but she was a little resistant.

At first, she was worried that he would break into the store and say something ambiguous to her in front of Shopkeeper Qin and Erhu. But strangely, after a long time, he never came into the store.

Pei Bao'er raised her head and looked, only to see that the door was empty, only one or two pedestrians walked slowly, where was there still Fang Cai, who didn't dare to look at him because she kept her head down, and didn't know how long he stood at the door of the store before leaving, whether he entered the bookstore next door, or left for other places.

Pei Bao'er's mood at the moment was like the person waiting for the neighbor upstairs to throw the boots, he appeared, it was the first boot that fell, but when did the second one come?

Originally, she just took the old county order over to return the salute by the way, and she was not going to stay in the shop for a long time, but she was so frightened by that person that she didn't dare to go out. Pei Baoer had to bite the bullet and read the account book that she had only read a few days ago again, and then she had nothing to do and wanted to help organize the shelves, but she was persuaded by Erhu and Luo. Just kidding, it's not about paying them to watch their owners do the hard work.

Shopkeeper Qin was also a little suspicious: "Pei Niangzi, there are not many customers today, if there is nothing to do, you might as well go back and prepare things according to the goods list." Mrs. said, let the Qingmei girl next to her go to Osmanthus Lane to find you to pick up the goods, you should know, right? ”

Pei Baoer nodded, in the end it was like sitting on pins and needles in the shop, and finally held the fearless spirit of "stretching out and shrinking the head is a knife", and reluctantly and resolutely strode out of the door of the shop.

There was no strange person who suddenly jumped out and said strange things to her, her heart finally settled, and she walked quickly in the direction of Osmanthus Lane. The journey was safe and sound, and when I walked to the corner where the main street turned into Dengyun Lane, my arm was pulled by a strong force and pulled into the shadows.

Then, with his arms around his waist, he was taken to the air, jumped directly over the wall next to him, and jumped into a courtyard.

Pei Bao'er breathed sluggishly, and was about to struggle, but when she raised her eyes, she saw those dark eyes as deep as a cold pool, and she looked stupid when she fell inside, like a goose. Somehow, suddenly there was no desire to break free.

One of the reasons is that struggling in mid-air is dying.

The second reason is that this person has done more excessive things anyway, and she is not a torii girl who regards chastity as her life, rather than punching and kicking and staging a bloody scene, it is better to ask directly.

At the base of the wall, the howling cold wind was mostly blocked.

"Second boot" Jun lightly opened his thin lips: "Are you all well?" Isn't it okay to come out and run around on a cold day, and take care of other people's business? ”

Her apricot eyes suddenly widened, like a frightened cat: "How do you know what I'm doing here?" Do you know Master Ho? You," she hesitated, and finally she asked the troubled sentence with difficulty: "Who are you?" Your identity, and, why do you keep pestering me, I really don't know you......"

Qi Heng's eyes darkened, and his slender fingertips picked up a strand of broken hair in front of her ear, which seemed to carry her faint fragrance. But the winter wind was too domineering, and soon the fragrance was blown away. There were even finite snow particles falling above her head, and before they could be brushed away, they were already melting.

He let go of Pei Bao'er's restraint, and the latter was inexplicably relieved, he took off the fox fur to cover her, took out a handkerchief and wiped the top of her head, looked at it twice and felt satisfied, and then put the hood on her as if relieved.

"On such a cold day, how can you wear so little!" He pinched her fingertips, which were slightly red from the cold.

Pei Bao'er hurriedly withdrew her hand, and muttered in her heart, "Don't you also have cold hands and feet, it's not much better than me!" Then he explained with a little embarrassment that he was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring gloves.

A warmth came from the fox fur, her whole body was tightly wrapped from her neck to her legs and feet, and when she looked down, she saw that this big body was made according to the size of a man, and it was draped on her body and actually dragged the ground, like a child stealing adult clothes.

She looked at the pale man in front of her, and the slightly thin clothes on his body, tried to control her deviant thoughts, and dragged the corner of the fox fur with her hand, while trying to take it off and return it to him, she stubbornly asked again: "That, I asked you a question, but you haven't answered it yet!" ”

Qi Heng held her hand steadily, stunned that she couldn't move.

He glanced at a dark figure in the distance and snorted softly, "If I say it, will you believe it?" ”

Pei Baoer was about to say the letter, but when the words came to her mouth, she stopped it. She doesn't know anything now, if this man is completely blind, is it possible that she will accept it all? However, the other party seems to be either rich or expensive, so what does he have to make people want to figure out?

"Tell the truth, and I will believe it."

The corners of Qi Heng's lips curled slightly, "It's really a little fox." ”

While combing her hair with his fingers that had been messed up when she put on the fox fur, he said casually: "I, in fact, am a rich idler." There are some fields, shops, and servants in the family, all of which are inherited from their ancestors. Oh yes, there's also a hot spring Zhuangzi, do you want to go for a dip? ”

"Well, that's not what I'm asking......" Pei Baoer weakly raised her hand in protest. Heart, and I don't believe your nonsense.

The man threw a thunderbolt out calmly: "As for our relationship, I am your husband, and you are my wife." Is that clear enough? ”
