I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 237

Huajiao spent several days searching for the monster in the city. He was exhausted physically and mentally. Hearing Uncle Chen's words, he laughed unconsciously.

"Uncle Chen, please stop joking."

Pei Ruji had already broken off two kisses with her, how could he still propose marriage to her?

Uncle Chen sighed softly: "I'm serious, why don't you believe me, little lady?"

"Because I know that Third Brother Pei is not a fool."

Only a fool would want to hit the wall one after another.

After Huajiao finished speaking, he turned around and saw Pei Ru leaning on the stone lion next to the gate.He was dressed in black uniform, with the collar and cuffs carefully decorated with black brocade, and his hair was tied up with a jade crown, which was obviously carefully decorated.

He looked at her quietly, with a smile on his face: "Ms. Jiang, although I am not a fool, I don't know why, but I feel a little confused when I see you."

Uncle Chen couldn't help laughing after hearing this.The old man didn't want to disturb the conversation between the two of them, so he turned around and waved, signaling Zheng Xin to drive the carriage into the hospital quickly.

After Uncle Chen and Zheng Xin entered, Huajiao walked up to Pei Ruji and said with a smile: "Look at what Third Brother said, I am neither a living dead nor bite you, how can you be so confused and unconscious."

Pei Ruji laughed when he heard this: "I forgot, you are now the governor of Tianshu Division. You must be exhausted from arresting the living dead these days."

He was a military commander, and he deliberately softened his voice at this moment, with a hint of concern in his words.

Ever since Huajiao knew Pei Ruji's thoughts, she could indeed feel his affection when getting along with him.Sometimes you can feel whether a person treats you sincerely or not.

However, at this moment, for some reason, Huajiao always felt that his smile was a bit deliberate.

Is it because she suspected that Pei Ruji was possessed, so she was prejudiced against him?
Huajiao smiled politely: "Third brother, why do you have to come here free? The city is not peaceful now. Don't you need to go on patrol tonight?"

Pei Ruji brushed her sleeves, turned around and followed Huajiao towards the house. As she walked, she said, "I came here with my father to propose marriage to you today."

His words were casual and natural, as if they were natural.

Huajiao had already entered the courtyard, and at a glance he saw boxes and cages tied with red silk along the corridor.Her eyes moved from the boxes to Pei Ruji's face, her eyelashes trembled, and she asked: "Third brother, which of these boxes and boxes were I thrown out last time?"

Pei Ruji smiled: "Where, this is newly prepared."

Huajiao waved his hand: "Third brother, please trouble me and take it back."

She flicked her sleeves and walked straight to the hall. When she entered the room, she saw Pei Ruji's father, Pei Cheng, sitting on an armchair, talking to Aunt Lin.

Huajiao didn't expect that Pei Cheng would also accompany Pei Ruji to be silly.

Pei Cheng waved to her and said with a smile: "My niece is back. She must be exhausted these days."

Huajiao walked forward with a smile.

Pei Cheng sighed and said: "Your father once entrusted you to me, and I promised him to let Ah Ji take care of you for the rest of his life. My niece, I know that you had a close relationship with Yu Dujian before, and I don't care about your affairs with him. I don’t know the whole story. However, since he is no longer here, are you willing to let your uncle fulfill his promise to your father and let Ah Ji take care of you?"

Pei Cheng's words were so sincere that Huajiao felt a little sorry for him.She chuckled and said: "Uncle, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qian, the deputy general beside Pei Ruji, led a few people in.These people look like the servants of the restaurant in their clothing, and each of them is carrying a food box in his hand.Zhang Qian stepped forward and said, "The food ordered by the deputy commander from Fengyang Tower has arrived. Where can I put it?"

Aunt Lin and Huajiao were both stunned.

Pei Ruji Shiran walked in slowly from the outside and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite you to the tavern for a chat, but due to the incident of the living dead, most of the taverns were closed, so we had to go to Fengyang Tower to make a reservation. I have a few dishes, I hope they will suit my sister’s taste.”

Aunt Lin hurried forward and led the servants to place the food on the table in the side hall.Although Huajiao was reluctant, in front of Uncle Pei, he couldn't be kicked out anymore, so he had to raise his hand to invite Pei Ruji and Pei Cheng to sit down.

Huajiao sat down and continued to finish what he had just said: "Uncle Pei, I know you are a man of great promise, but marriage matters cannot be left to your own hands. I already have someone in my heart, and I am afraid I will let down my uncle's good intentions."

Lin Gu glanced at Pei Cheng's face, hurriedly put a handful of mutton on the plate in front of him, and said with a smile: "Young lady is ignorant, don't be surprised. With all due respect, the current situation in Lan'an City is not the same. It’s appropriate to hold a happy event, how about we discuss this later?”

Pei Ruji snorted slightly and said: "Aunt Lin, in the court hall today, someone wrote a letter saying that there have been many disasters in the city recently, and proposed to hold a Nuo opera on the sixth day of the lunar month to sacrifice the gods and drive away the plague, and to pray for happy events. Your Majesty has approved it. , the Ministry of Etiquette has ordered that all men and women of the right age who are engaged and intend to get married on the same day, the sixth day of this month."

Aunt Lin was stunned for a moment: "That's it." She looked at the corner of the painting and motioned for her to agree.

Hua Jiao pretended not to notice, and said with a smile: "My third brother and I didn't intend to, nor are we engaged."

Pei Ruji looked sideways at the corner of the painting, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, tasted it, and said with a smile: "This fish is very delicious, sister, try it." After saying that, he picked up a piece of sea bass and put it in front of the corner of the painting.

Huajiao glanced at him but did not move his chopsticks.

Pei Ruji raised his eyebrows: "Why, this is a sea bass, not a tiger fish. You won't die if you eat it."

Huajiao raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Of course I know."

She picked up the fish, opened her mouth and was about to eat it, when her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Master fish.

The tiger fish that will die after eating it is an ancient fish that has long been extinct. How did Pei Ruji, an ordinary person, know?

The painting corner said calmly: "Even if it is a tiger fish, you will not necessarily die if you eat it. I heard that if you hang the tiger fish on a tree and beat it with a whip, the white venom in its body will flow out, and then If you cook again, people will be fine after eating it. I wonder if this is true?"

Pei Ruji nodded, quickly realized something, and said with a smile: "Look what my sister said, how do I know if it is true? I have never eaten tiger fish, but I just heard others talk about it."

Huajiao made a sound, lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Uncle, can you please let me think about my marriage with my third brother again?"

Pei Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Easy to say, easy to say."

Pei Ruji looked at the corner of the painting and narrowed his eyes slightly.

*
It was getting late, and after Huajiao sent Pei Cheng and Pei Ru away, he saw Zhang Qian leading the servants in Fengyang Tower to pack the dishes and food boxes.

She stepped forward and asked: "Vice-General Zhang, I remember that there is a deputy general named Li Hou beside Brother Pei. Why haven't I seen him today?"

Zhang Qian straightened up, glanced at the corner of the painting, and whispered: "He has passed away."

Huajiao was slightly startled: "Li Hou is gone, when did it happen?"
