Chapter 62
Huajiao instructs Xuexiu to go downstairs and call the waiter from the shop to come up to order. Today she wants to have a good time and taste the dishes of Fengyanglou.

Pei Ruji pointed to the words on the fan and asked the corner of the picture: "These words were written by the general himself, what does Mrs. Jiang think?"

Hua Jiao leaned forward, his eyes focused on the few ink characters, his clear eyes were slightly narrowed, and there was an elusive depth in his clear eyes.

Inexplicably, Pei Ruji felt that those eyes were familiar. Before he could think about it, he saw her long and thick eyelashes blinking, and said seriously: "This word is like a dragon and a snake, and the iron is like a silver hook, just like General Pei's behavior."

Pei Ruji was stunned for a moment, and for some reason felt extremely comfortable, as if drinking a glass of iced drink in summer, this little lady is so good at boasting.However, since she can describe his characters with a pen and a silver hook, she must not be illiterate.

He tentatively asked: "Then, do you know the meaning of these words?"

Huajiao pursed his lips and smiled, and his eyes that were exposed outside the veil slightly curved: "Of course I know, sleeping flowers and lying willows means resting in the shade of flowers and willows. Every summer night, the house is sweltering and hot, and I I will also spread bamboo mats under the shade of flowers and willows, and count the fireflies to fall asleep. Does General Pei like it too? From this point of view, we have similar interests."

Who wants to share your interests! ?

Pei Ruji snorted disdainfully, and said to himself: Sure enough, he came from the valley, and he really slept among the flowers.

It's a pity, even though she can know a few words, she doesn't understand the meaning of the words. What's the difference between opening her eyes and being blind!
He really didn't expect that after he was dressed up like this, this little lady still took a fancy to him, praised him for his good handwriting, and said that he had similar interests. It seems that it would be difficult for her to take the initiative to withdraw the engagement today.

"It's just..." Huajiao asked hesitantly, "I don't understand what this skirter means."

Pei Ruji said heartily: You asked this yourself.

He explained in a straight-forward manner: "Since Miss Jiang asked, I'll say it straight. I hope you don't feel sad. Sleeping flowers lying on willows is not what you mean. Flowers and willows refer to each other in this poem." Girl, the meaning of this poem is that I am a flirtatious person, I like picking willows and climbing flowers, and many young ladies are my good friends. Do you know where the Lihua Garden I mentioned just now is?"

Pei Ruji said while watching his words, and saw Huajiao's eyebrows raised, and a playful smile flashed across his eyes.He wanted to take a closer look, but saw that she was resting her chin with one hand, her clear eyes were focused.

Her voice was full of longing, and she asked: "Didn't you just say that Lihua Garden is the place to listen to Qu'er? Can General Pei take me there? Since I returned to Lan'an, I haven't visited the city yet?"

Pei Ruji sighed, and explained word by word: "Lihuayuan is a brothel, a place where women sell their bodies and perform arts. How can I take you there. I went to the brothel to listen to the song, but I didn't really listen to the song. , I went to look for flowers and ask willows."

Huajiao endured a lot of hard work with a smile, but he still pretended to be curious and asked: "General Pei, what do you mean by looking for flowers and asking willows..."

"Just sleep, go to sleep with a prostitute." Pei Ruji yelled, gnashing his teeth under his throat.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea suddenly, feeling really tired, and communicating with uneducated people was really exhausting.If he really took this little Jiang lady back to his residence, he would be exhausted talking every day.

Hua Jiao burst out laughing, this time he really couldn't hold it back.

Pei Ruji stared blankly at the corner of the painting, seeing her lying on the table and laughing wildly, the beads hanging down from her bun swaying left and right with her smile, the pearls the size of rice grains reflected a faint light in the room .

Pei Ruji pursed his lips, a cold light flashed in his long eyes, and he vaguely felt that he was being tricked.

"What I mean, I think Mrs. Jiang understands." He said coldly.

Hua Jiao laughed enough, glanced at Pei Ruji, and continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb: "I don't quite understand what General Pei means."

Pei Ruji couldn't understand why he wanted to divorce, only a fool would not understand.However, she didn't intend to take advantage of Pei Ruji, and she wanted to withdraw the marriage but didn't want to bring it up yet, and wanted her to mention it first.

She just didn't let him do what he wanted.

Pei Ruji didn't plan to play riddles this time, and said directly: "I am not a dedicated person, and I should not be a good match for Mrs. Jiang. After I get married, I will definitely take concubines. One is not enough. Mrs. Jiang probably won't mind." Bar."

Huajiao's eyes lit up, and he looked interested: "Take a concubine? Then how many do you want, two, or three? Three is the best, and I just happen to make a table for playing horses."

Pei Ruji's face gradually darkened, and he looked at Huajiao in disbelief.

Hua Jiao looked up at her, and said with a smile: "How about a few more, sir? My sisters and I can also form a polo team. I like playing polo the most. Horse riding clothes are also good-looking. It looks heroic on the body."

Polo team?
Polo team!
Pei Ruji simply didn't know how she came up with it.

Hua Jiao hadn't finished speaking yet, and continued enthusiastically, "If you are still not satisfied, Mr. Lang, how about taking a hundred of them, forming a women's army, making me a centurion, and going into battle with you to kill the enemy?"

She still wants to be a centurion?
Pei Ruji was so shocked that he lost his grip on the fan for a moment, and it fell on the table with a thud.For the first time in his life, Pei Ruji, the all-powerful general of Yunhui, did not know how to answer other people's conversations.

This lady Jiang is so difficult, he feels that he has to make a big move!

******
The Accord next door is a tea room.

The sill window is wide open, and you can see the lilacs blooming brightly outside the window. The small cross-shaped flowers converge into clusters, and many clusters form a tree, which makes the window casement also purple.

Wearing a jade crown on her head and a crimson official uniform, Yu Taiqing sat cross-legged in front of the desk and cooked tea.

The room was silent, with the wind coming in through the window, and along with it, the voices in the next door Accord.Although the voice is low, his hearing is different from ordinary people, as long as he listens attentively, he can still hear clearly.

The kettle on the small red clay stove on one side of the table was turned on, and the soup was boiling, making a gurgling sound.Yu Taiqing held the pot by her sleeve and poured hot water into the purple sand pot, and the water vapor rose up.The white jade-like face was hidden behind the mist, looking a bit hazy.

He asked Di Chen, "Do you know who the Ya Ge next door is?"

Di Chen said: "The next door is General Yunhui Pei Ruji, and he has an appointment with a young lady today. However, the strange thing is that there is a group of people next door, two brothers under his command, just now he made an appointment. I was with those two brothers, and I don’t know what they were discussing, so the little lady waited for a long time before going over."

The corners of Yu Taiqing's lips smiled: "It's a discussion, I'm afraid it's some bad idea."

Mrs. Yu warmed the cup, sprinkled the tea, pinched and rotated the teacup with her slender fingers, and a rich tea fragrance wafted leisurely in the room.He said softly, "It's kind of interesting."

Di Chen was puzzled and asked, "What's interesting?"

Yu Taiqing smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the guard standing outside the door came in and reported: "Captain, Cui Yushi and Miss Cui have arrived."

Yu Taiqing put down the teacup slowly and said, "Please come in."

He originally wanted to order someone to summon Cui Lanshu to the Tianshu Division, but then he thought about it, what happened yesterday was too big, if something went wrong again, it might not end well.

He also saw Cui Lanshu without a veil in a dream that day. At that time, the light and shadow flashed away, and he was not sure if he saw it clearly.Therefore, he specially posted a post, inviting Cui Yushi and Cui Lanshu to meet at Fengyang Tower.

The door opened, and a guard led Cui Chong and Cui Yushi into the room. Behind them, Cui Lanshu, who was wearing a fence, walked in slowly.

Cui Chong is over 50 years old, with a refined appearance, he stepped forward and bowed to Mrs. Yu: "Cui has met Yu Dujian."

The imperial envoy is a third-rank official position, which is one level lower than Yu Taiqing's capital prison position.Cui Chong and Yu Taiqing were officials in the same dynasty, but they had never had any contact with each other, because this little prince from a foreign country was low-key and never exchanged greetings with other people in the court.Perhaps he also knew that he had a special status. Although he participated in the scientific examination dignifiedly and won the first prize, when the saint wanted him to be an official in the court, he did not choose the six divisions, but chose the Tianshu Division, which specializes in catching monsters.

The Tianshu Division had Lei Yan as its commander, and Cui Chong, like other officials in the court, believed that Yu Taiqing's departure to the Tianshu Division was just a decoration.Cui Chong did not expect that he would personally go to Jiumian Mountain to capture the monsters. Although Lei Yan led people to rescue them in the end, his courage is enough to make him admire.

However, he didn't expect that he would order his daughter Cui Lanshu to be sent to a severe prison.Although it was a misunderstanding later on, his reputation has been ruined.

This person in front of him is the chief culprit of this matter. Although Cui Chong was full of anger, he thought that if he could marry his own daughter, it would be a beautiful thing, so he sat in front of the case under Di Chen's guidance.

Cui Lanshu bowed to Mrs. Yu and sat down.She glanced at Yu Taiqing through the veil of power fence, and her heart was pounding.Although she secretly looked at him many times in Jiumian Mountain that day, it was dark at that time, and she only knew that he was born extremely handsome, but she couldn't say exactly what kind of beauty he was.

Looking at him face to face in broad daylight now, Cui Lanshu only felt that the blood in her whole body seemed to be congealed, her breathing stopped, and her eyes straightened.She was very thankful that she was wearing a fence, otherwise, if he saw this appearance, it would be really embarrassing.

Yu Taiqing raised her hand and personally poured a cup of tea for Cui Chong and Cui Lanshu, glanced at Cui Lanshu lightly, and said, "Before this, the Metropolitan Superintendent was not doing well, and Mrs. Cui suffered. None."

Cui Chong picked up the teacup, frowned and put it down again: "The meaning of the Dujian is that the little girl is innocent, and everything is the fault of the Dujian. In this case, the reputation of the young girl is now bad, and the Dujian just makes an apology. I'm afraid Cui can't do it." accept."

Cui Lanshu was embarrassed, she didn't expect Father to speak so quickly.

When she came here, she also heard her father mention the matter of getting married. Although she didn't dare to hope extravagantly, she still had a glimmer of hope, but at this time, her father's proposal was clearly a forced marriage.

 I wrote a thousand more words today, (*^▽^*)
