Chapter 22: Invite the National Teacher to dinner
"What is the relationship between the national teacher and the woman in the carriage, how can it be your person?"
General Li had long heard that the national teacher did not like women, and he had never heard of the relationship between the woman he wanted to take away and the national teacher.
"That's not for General Lauley to worry about. But the woman in this carriage, I must take it with me today! ”
Pei Huai did not answer General Li's question, but insisted on taking Xu Xi away.
Besides, he doesn't have anything special to do with Xu Xi, so it doesn't matter if he answers this question or not.
"But Master Guoshi, I am also useful for this person!" General Li looked at Pei Huai in embarrassment, he didn't want Pei Huai to speak against him directly.
Who called him not as high as Pei Huai, plus he is a military general.
"Is this person more important to the court, or is your personal vendetta more important?" Pei Huai had learned all the back and forth of the matter on the way that Gu Chaoci came to find him, and the courage of this general's mansion was so great.
Hmph, I still want to rob him of people!
"This ...... This...... The lower officials don't dare, this person is still taken away by the national teacher! General Li replied angrily, it seems that this woman can't move, but what about his son!
"Alright, now that you're relieved. Then, I'll take the people away. Pei Huai nodded lightly, gave Nie Chenghui a look, and motioned for him to pick up Xu Xi.
Nie Chenghui nodded knowingly and walked over.
"Miss Xu, my master asked me to pick you up!"
Although Xu Xi was tied up in the carriage by General Li, his ears were not deaf, so he naturally heard the conversation outside just now.
Because he was gagged, he couldn't speak at all, so he could only listen silently.
Now, after Nie Chenghui helped her untie her shackles, she felt happier to be free!
Xu Xi looked at Pei Ran with a smile and said, "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the national teacher, the little girl should repay with a spring." ”
As he spoke, he didn't care about the faces around him, especially General Li, whose face was as black as charcoal.
"It's not necessary to make a promise by body, but you can owe favors, and I'll tell you when I think about it."
"Well, since you've said so, I'll just owe you a favor. If you need help with anything in the future, just ask. ”
Xu Xi looked at Pei Huai with a serious face.
"Okay, that's what you said, and you can't regret it in the future!" Pei Huai looked half-joking and half-serious, and there seemed to be some conspiracy brewing in his eyes.
But only he knows.
"Regrets? If it doesn't exist, you can rest assured! ”
As a new woman in the 21st century, she has always been true to her word, although she is now in ancient times, but she can't forget the old book, right?
"That's good!"
Just when the two of them were discussing things by themselves, General Li's face became darker and darker, and he couldn't help his violent temper more and more, did these two people think he was dead?
This national teacher is too, isn't it just relying on his status to be a little higher than himself, where can he be favored by the emperor, as for such a blatant bully?
This hatred, he Li someone wrote it down!
He Pei Ran had better pray to be favored in front of the emperor for the rest of his life, otherwise, he would like to see what happened to Pei Ran at that time!
But for now, you have to endure it!
"If the national teacher still has something, the lower official will leave first, my son was injured by a villain last night, and the lower official has to go back to see."
After General Li finished speaking, he didn't forget to look at Xu Xi, and implied to tell Pei Ran that his son was actually injured by the woman who saw Xu Xi!
"Okay, since Young Master Li is injured, General Li should go back and take a look first, and this woman will be handed over to me!"
However, Pei Huai didn't care at all, and when he saw General Li's farewell, he responded, and he didn't put the so-called General Li in his eyes when he came back.
General Li saw that Pei Huai didn't understand his intentions at all, so he brushed his sleeves and left.
Xu Xi tugged at the corners of General Li's mouth, thinking that General Li is such a person, no wonder there is a son like Li Yu,
This is normal, there is no one in sight, and he deserves to be bullied and taught a lesson.
"By the way, national teacher, if you help me like this, aren't you afraid of offending General Li? What if he gets into trouble with you in the future and threatens you with it? Xu Xi turned his head and looked directly at Pei Huai with his eyes.
"Heh, don't worry, he won't dare."
Pei Huai smiled very confidently, he was sure that things would not happen. If General Li really dared, he wouldn't have bowed his head just now.
When he robbed people, didn't he dare to say anything!
"Okay!"
Xu Xi's confidence in Pei Ran's fascination was also drunk, saying that she didn't want to say anything more, and it would be boring to say more.
Gu Chaoci saw that the two of them finally stopped talking about "making promises to each other", and finally found an opportunity to speak.
"Sister Xu, you don't have anything wrong, right? It's good that you told me to go to the National Teacher in advance, otherwise, you might have really been taken away. You're so smart! Gu Chaoci looked at Xu Xi with a look of adoration, if only she were so powerful!
"Didn't I say it before, I'm a national teacher, so you know!"
Xu Xi whispered in Gu Chaoci's ear, for fear that Gu Chaoci would accidentally say it out loud, for fear that Pei Ran would hear it, it would be embarrassing!
"Oh, that's right. Then Sister Xu, tell me, what is the relationship between you and the National Teacher? Gu Chaoci looked at Xu Xi with frowns, and looked at Xu Xi with a face full of adultery.
Nie Chenghui, who was quite close to Xu Xi and the others, felt that he had heard some big secret, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"It doesn't matter, it's just an acquaintance!" Xu Xi pretended to be calm and looked at Gu Chaoci.
"Didn't you say before that you were a national teacher? I thought you were in that relationship? Gu Chaoci was a little annoyed by his misunderstanding, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
"That's right. I said that I was a national teacher, but I didn't say that I had that kind of relationship with the national teacher! ”
Xu Xi glanced at Gu Chaoci speechlessly, did she say that she was the girlfriend of the national teacher?
Nie Chenghui, who was eavesdropping on the side, thought that he could hear some big gossip from the master, but there was nothing!
Pei Ran on the side saw Xu Xi and the two talking quietly, his brows were tightly locked, was there anything he couldn't hear?
Otherwise, why did the voices of these two people become smaller and smaller, and even Nie Chenghui is eavesdropping on the side!
He must be saying something unspeakable, he wants to ask, but he doesn't want to put down his face.
Anyway, he is a dignified national teacher, and he really can't let it go, and when he goes back, he is asking Nie Chenghui.
"Ahem!!"
Pei Ran pretended to cough twice, and while he was talking, Xu Xi and the others stopped and looked at Pei Ran.
"What's the matter with the national teacher?" Xu Xi saw that Gu Chaoci didn't dare to speak, and glanced at her with disdain, is Pei Ran so terrible?
"It's fine. Do you think I've worked so hard to save you just to make me stand on the street? Shouldn't you find a restaurant to eat? Pei Ran looked at Xu Xi with a meaningful expression.
When Nie Chenghui heard what his master said, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, thinking to himself, it was the first time he had seen his master say such a long list of words!
It's been a long time to live, it seems that this girl named Xu Xi has an unusual status in the master's heart!
"That'...... Let's go! There was a rare hint of blush on Xu Xi's cold face, and she felt embarrassed to let her life-saving benefactor stand on the street.
Gu Chaoci was also a little annoyed, if he hadn't pulled Sister Xu to speak, I wouldn't be so embarrassed now.
"Let's go to the hospitable restaurant before, their food tastes good." Gu Chaoci glanced back and forth at a few people, and said suggestively.
Xu Xi also remembered the hospitable restaurant where she and Gu Chao had resigned before, so she nodded approvingly.
Turning his head to look at Pei Ran, he said, "How about it, is the National Teacher going?" First of all, the restaurant is not very high-end, but the taste is really good. If you don't want to go, we can change it. ”
Although she also thinks that it is good to be hospitable, after all, she is inviting the national teacher to dinner, and she feels that it is still necessary to pay attention to pomp and circumstance, in case others are unwilling!
In ancient times, the national teacher was one person under ten thousand people, and he lost his pomp and circumstance when he went to that kind of restaurant!
"It's just the hospitable restaurant, I've heard other people say that the reputation is pretty good. I've wanted to go for a long time, but I've never had the chance to go. Nie Chenghui hurriedly replied, holding the idea of watching the excitement, Nie Chenghui's apprentice was a little unkind.
"I didn't ask you why you were in such a hurry." Xu Xi looked at Nie Chenghui impatiently, if she had her previous temper, she would have kicked Nie Chenghui away.
For the sake of him being Pei Ran's apprentice, she didn't care too much.
"Okay, since you all said that the hospitable restaurant is good, let's go to that restaurant and see how good it tastes."
Pei Ran looked at everyone with a smile, although he knew the little caution in their hearts, he still planned to go with them, after all, this kind of time together is not much, it is very interesting, thinking of these Pei Huai couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.
If the quarrel continues, he doesn't know how much time he will waste, he doesn't want to waste it in vain.
The people finally agreed and walked in the direction where the hospitality had come.
Hospitable to the restaurant.
Several people stood at the door, looking at the busy shopkeeper in the store. It's only been so long, and there are already so many people.
Gu Chaoci stretched out his head to look left and right, and finally saw an empty seat by the window.
Then he said anxiously: "Let's go, I see the location." ”
When Pei Ran and the others heard that there was a place, they entered the store.
"Boss, is there a private room?" Xu Xi approached the checkout counter and asked the boss, she was afraid that Pei Ran would not like so many people.
"A few guest officers, please upstairs." The boss replied with a grin.
When they arrived at the box, after a few people ordered the signature dishes of the hospitality, they waited for the second child of the store to deliver the dishes with peace of mind.
"Will you two come back to the Master's Mansion with me later?" Seeing that the scene was so quiet, Pei Ran rarely asked.
"No, we still have things to do!"
"Good! All right! I don't know what the inside of the National Teacher's Mansion is like! ”
Xu Xi and Gu Chaoci replied at the same time, but they had two completely different answers.
One is going and the other is not going.
"So whether to go or not?"
Pei Huai still wanted Xu Xi to go in his heart, and he didn't know why he had such thoughts.
"No, I really have something to do." Xu Xi glared at Gu Chaoci, this girl knew that he was causing trouble.
Pei Huai wanted to say something, but the shopkeeper sent the food up, so he simply gave up.
Xu Xi saw that Pei Huai didn't speak, so she didn't bother herself, so let's eat quietly!
A group of people finished the meal quietly like this, but Gu Chaoci and Nie Chenghui ate quite happily.
Only Xu Xi and Pei Huai ate a little bit of food.
