Chapter 44: It's raining heavily

Inside the house, Quan Pei was carrying a pot of wine, holding a brush in one hand and hooking something on rice paper, and the little guys outside the door glanced at each other and secretly poked away.

"Why do you think these two highnesses run to us every day? When you come, you have to ask for a pot of wine, a table of dishes, and then learn words. The big man asked in a whisper in his ear, pulling his companion.

"This second highness has a gentle temperament and treats people kindly, but he doesn't have the slightest ambition, I guess few people know that the second highness is like this in private, and we are ten thousand households, and others don't know what to pass on to him!" The little guy on the side listened to his words, and he was also a little puzzled.

The two of them were talking, and they were about to bump into someone without paying attention at all, Hua Xiaoliu stood still in red, his eyes were serious, and he scolded: "If you don't work hard, what are you talking about here?"

The two of them looked up, their shopkeeper supported his waist with his hands, and glared at him angrily, and the two realized that they were talkative, and immediately lowered their heads and fled.

Hua Xiaoliu shook his head, and then raised his feet and went to Quan Pei's wing. When she arrived, Quan Pei opened the window, leaned against the window with a wine jug, looked at the street of Wankelou, and with a thoughtful gaze, she reached out and knocked on the door frame.

"Your Highness, I sent the small kitchen to make some glutinous rice cakes, you can taste it!" Hua Xiaoliu looked for his hand, and the little maid behind him immediately put the things on the tray on the table, bowed and bowed down this time.

"You've got a heart!" Quan Pei chuckled, got up from the window, walked to the table and sat down, and beckoned to Hua Xiaoliu: "Sit down, eat with me." ”

Hua Xiaoliu lowered his eyes and only hesitated, then raised his head and smiled happily: "Your Highness asks, then I will be respectful and obey." ”

Quan Pei carried the wine jug to help Hua Xiaoliu fill it, and was about to add it to himself when he was stopped by someone, "Your Highness, you drank a little too much today, why don't you try the crucian carp soup made in the kitchen?" This is just salvaged from Lushui this morning, and it is guaranteed to be fresh and delicious! ”

Hua Xiaoliu scooped him a bowl of fish soup as he spoke, placed it in front of him, and looked at him expectantly. Hua Xiaoliu belongs to a sweet-looking girl, and her eyes are big and bright, and it is difficult for people to refuse when she stares at him. Quan Pei ghost put down the wine jug and nodded in response.

Hua Xiaoliu watched Quan Pei scoop a spoonful of fish soup into his mouth, and before he could listen to his evaluation, a little girl outside came up and bowed to the two: "Boss, the seventh princess is here!" ”

Hua Xiaoliu frowned, and just said that she wanted to invite, but Quan Pei behind her got up one step faster, "Xiao Qi, what is she doing?" ”

"The second brother is looking for a good place to be at ease, what's the matter, I'm afraid that I will rob the second brother of a good place." Quan Yishu jumped out from behind the little guy with a smile, and his smile was bright.

Quan Pei frowned, Hua Xiaoliu saw that the atmosphere was not right, and ordered to let the little guy go down. "How did you know I was here?"

Without permission, he found a place to sit down, found an unused wine cup and poured himself a glass of wine, and looked up: "What are you all standing for?" Sit, sit, sit! ”

"I went to ask my mother to say goodbye this morning, but I didn't see you, second brother, so I knew that you were here, how about it? I still know the second brother! Quan Yi said and poured wine for Quan Pei, but Hua Xiaoliu, who was fast-moving, didn't have time to stop him.

Quan Pei sat down, a little worried, but because Hua Xiaoliu and Bai Manqing were still here, he endured it and didn't speak.

"However, I didn't know that the second brother was so familiar with Boss Hua, I think the two talented women seem to be a little matched." Expedient said, his eyes jumped back and forth on the two of them a few times.

Hua Xiaoliu instantly felt that her eyes were wrong, and immediately got up and saluted: "Princess, Second Highness Jin Guiyu Venerable is not something that I can climb, princess, don't say such gossip again." ”

"Xiao Qi, don't be rude, offend...... Madame! Quan Pei thought for a long time before squeezing out these three words.

Quan Yi looked at the overreaction of the two people, and knew in his heart that Bai Manqing told her on the way that Quan Pei Na would not go, just when Wanke came, they carefully observed and found that the two seemed to be a little one-legged, but because of their identity and feelings, they were not pierced, so they were commensurate with confidants.

She didn't believe it at first, but it was true that she seemed to have a countermeasure, and if she wanted Quan Pei to change her concept, she might be able to start with Hua Xiaoliu.

"Second brother, Xiaoliu, that's what I said, what are you nervous about, Xiaoliu, come and sit down! Last time I was injured, I still have to thank you for helping me heal my injury, and I can't thank you yet! I came here today to say thank you, and I also brought you a gift! ”

Expedient opened the small box he had brought, and inside was a dagger, with a black scabbard, which felt a little frosted to the touch.

Hua Xiaoliu was about to get up and thank you, but was stopped by Expediency, "I said it, this is a thank you gift, Manqing said that you are good at using a dagger, so I specially found a master in the palace to create one for you, you can use it with confidence!" ”

"Thank you princess for your love!" Hua Xiaoliu's actions were restricted, so he could only thank him verbally, and Bai Manqing on the side couldn't help but sigh, or the princess dared, they never dared to make it clear in front of the two.

But Expedient's heart is another plan, and being able to know more about Quan Pei will be one step closer to her success in persuading Quan Pei.

Several people finished a strange meal like this, and on the way back to the palace, Quan Pei slipped into Quan Pei's carriage, and Man Qing sat outside.

Expedient didn't speak, because she saw Quan Pei pinching the hem of her clothes, the corners of her mouth squirming, and she had to hold on.

Sure enough, as soon as she closed her eyes and was about to squint for a while, Quan Pei spoke, a little hesitant, and her words were intermittent: "Xiao Qi, today's event ...... Me and Xiaoliu, we are friends, don't think about it, don't talk nonsense! ”

Expedient nodded and agreed: "Okay, but, second brother, if you want to go to a place with me, I will promise not to joke with you and Xiaoliu in the future." ”

Kwon Pei didn't ask her where she was taking her, she just nodded, and the horseman outside had already turned his horse's head and headed to the outskirts of the city.

When they went out today, the sky was a little dark, and it looked like it was going to rain, and when they arrived at the place, it was gray and raining, and it was insignificant and uncomfortable on the skin.

Quan Pei had an umbrella in his carriage, and the little guy took it out and put it on for the two, so that Quan Pei had time to observe what was in front of him.

A clearing of land, where the trees and lawns had begun to turn yellow because of autumn, and a cemetery not far from the carriage. He frowned, and didn't understand why expedient had brought him here.

Quan Yi took the umbrella in the little servant's hand and put it on for the two of them, collapsed the small basket prepared in the morning, and commanded the people behind him: "You just wait here!" ”

Then he took Quan Pei towards the tombstones, the tombstones are very simple, they are a wooden board, and the name is roughly written on it, and Quan Pei is a little unclear.

Quan Pei handed him the umbrella, walked into the rain and put down the basket, and cleaned up the branches and leaves that fell on the tombstone, and Quan Pei saw the name clearly, Wang Cuicui.

It was the hard-working girl, the woman who was going to marry him for Li Nalan, and when Quan got up, he happened to see Quan Pei's eyes, and he followed his eyes to the name of the tombstone, and sighed.

"If there are no people, let people dig them out, this place is what I helped choose, the flowers will bloom in the spring of next year, here is a flower field, the little girl should like it!"

After she finished speaking, she squatted down and took out the things in the basket, there were several stacks of pastries on the table, took out the fire hammer and looked back, "Second Emperor Brother, help me hit the umbrella or I won't be able to light this paper." ”

Quan Pei stretched the umbrella forward in a daze, and finally simply had a meal with Expediency, Expedient took a few more incense sticks, put out the incense burner and inserted it.

"Help me get some too!" Kwon Pei on the side suddenly spoke.

Expedient paused for a moment and reacted, "Okay! ”

After helping people light incense, Quan Pei handed her the umbrella and got up and bowed a few times before inserting it into the incense burner, and the two stood in front of the grave, Quan Pei was in a low mood, without a trace of expression on his face. Expedient glanced at it,

"She is as old as me, 17 years old, there was still a lot of good time, but she was involved in court disputes for no reason, there are too many people in this world who can't help themselves, the second emperor brother, blindly tolerate and stay out of the matter and no one else can let down their guard against you, when the right time is to break down with one blow, you and I can't retreat in this troubled world, but I don't accept my fate, so I'm willing to fight for that very slim opportunity."

"Xiao Qi, maintaining a pure heart in this world is the foundation of everything, although you used to be timid, but you were kind-hearted, and there were not so many twists and turns, but now I can't understand what you are talking more and more, and I can't see you more clearly......" Quan Pei paused and didn't say any more.

"I remember this girl's affairs, if there is still someone in her family, I will send someone to appease her, the rain is heavy, let's write it back!"

After he finished speaking, he turned and left, rushing into the rain, his back depressed. Expedient knows that it is not an overnight thing for a stubborn person to let him change his state of affairs, and she is willing to give Kwon Bae time, and she also believes that Kwon Pei's mind will definitely change from today onwards.

She stretched out her hand out of the umbrella, and the raindrops fell on her hand, and her palm lit up, and she murmured softly, "The rain seems to be heavy." ”
