I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 66 Taunting
"If something happens, I will ask General Pei to help me. I hope you will not forget what I said today."

Pei Ruji was taken aback: "That's natural."

"I knew that General Pei was a man of great love and commitment. I heard that the imperial army under your command governed the West Sixteenth Square of the city, and often went out to patrol the city at night. It seems that Lan'an City has not been peaceful recently. I will give General Pei a talisman for protection. This is the demon exorcising talisman I asked for from the temple a few days ago, it is extremely effective, and I ask General Pei to carry it with me on weekdays, so that it can save my life in an emergency." Hua Jiao took out a cinnabar yellow talisman and handed it over.

Pei Ruji's father and Father are close friends, since Father entrusted her to Uncle Pei before he passed away from a serious illness, it can be seen that Uncle Pei must be someone that Father can trust.Pei Ruji didn't like her, so he could have said it outright, but he tried his best to get her to withdraw first, and he actually took her face into consideration.

If the news of Pei's resignation as a little lady is spread, people will think how unbearable she is.Pei Ruji was willing to let her mention it first. From a point of view, he was not a bad person.Therefore, Hua Jiao specially mentioned a few words to him, and gave him a demon-exorcism talisman.

Pei Ruji waved his hand, but he didn't go to pick it up: "I have never seen a monster since I was a child. Even if there is a monster, with my skills, the monster can't get close. Your spell is probably a trap. It cost a lot of silver taels, you should keep it for yourself."

Huajiao's eyebrows frowned slightly: "General Pei, I heard that the chess player in Fengyang Tower died strangely just now. Maybe it was caused by evil spirits. If you want me to say, you should accept this talisman. I still have it, and I don't lack this one. "

Pei Ruji reluctantly took it, and stuffed it in the armhole.He suddenly remembered something, and asked: "When you go out, will you wear hairpins, bracelets, and earrings in a complete set? Will you leave your ears alone?"

Hua Jiao touched the pendant hanging from his ear, and said, "I wear it as a set, why did General Pei ask about it? Could it be that the chess officer doesn't have earrings on his ear?"

Pei Ruji was slightly startled, he didn't expect the angle of the painting to be so sharp.

He nodded and looked at the sky: "That's right, but maybe we were worrying too much. It's getting late, and it's time for Mrs. Jiang to go home."

Hua Jiao knew that it was inconvenient for him to talk to her about the case, so he stopped asking, said goodbye, and glanced at him faintly, the smile in his eyes was particularly intoxicating in the evening light.

She let go of her hand, the curtains of the car windows fell slowly, and the carriage gradually went away.

Pei Ruji stood on the spot blankly, always feeling that those bright eyes were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.

He was thinking hard, when Zhang Qian and Li Hou approached him, Zhang Qian asked: "General, did Miss Jiang agree to withdraw the marriage?" Li Hou also asked: "Is the method my subordinate said useful?"

"It's a good fart." Pei Ruji raised his foot and kicked Li Hou's ass, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, and you have the nerve to come and say it."

The weather is getting warmer, and I can no longer wear winter clothes on my body.

In the past few days, Lin Gu invited a tailor to come to the mansion, and tailored a few spring shirts for Huajiao, but she felt that Huajiao's jewelry was not enough, so she drove Huajiao out today and asked her to buy hairpins.

The West Market is the busiest market in Lan'an City, with fruit shops, calligraphy and painting shops, rouge and gouache, cloth and satin, tea and spices...the shops of all colors are overwhelming.

Huajiao entered Jixiang Pavilion with his snow sleeves. This is a time-honored jewelry shop, which has gold and silver pearl hairpins, hairpin rings, jade bracelets and jade pendants... everything.

Seeing her coming in, the waiter in the shop greeted her hurriedly with a smile, and led her to see the hairpin ring.

Looking around at the corner of the painting, he picked out a plum blossom hairpin, a hollow gold bracelet, and a pair of earrings.Xuexiu said that the young lady in Lan'an is now in fashion for pasting flowers, and the waiter in the shop led Huajiao to choose flowers.

Xuexiu thought that the lotus-shaped tinsel was beautiful, but Huajiao didn't think so, the two were arguing, when they saw a few maidservants walking in, surrounded by two beautiful ladies.

The leading young lady is Zheng Min, the cousin of the uncle's family in the Xifu. As soon as she entered the store, she saw the corner of the painting, and her expression was obviously taken aback.Last time, Huajiao quarreled with her grandmother in Xifu, and before leaving, she said harshly that she was going to break ties with Xifu, so she only glanced at Zheng Min, then turned her face indifferently, and continued Choose flowers.

Xuexiu didn't notice that Zheng Min came in, she held a lotus flower in her hand, and compared it on the forehead of the painting: "Lady, I think this lotus flower is very flattering to you, why don't you just buy this one."

But Huajiao felt that his appearance was not elegant and elegant, so he pointed to a red claw-shaped flower and said, "Xuexiu, what do you think of this one?"

Xue Xiu glanced at it, shook her head and said, "Isn't this the Dragon Claw Flower? It's too weird, it's not good."

Zheng Min came over at some point, looked at the flower tin in Xuexiu's hand, casually picked up a horn-shaped flower tin and said, "I think this one suits your wife better."

Xuexiu looked displeased: "This one doesn't suit my wife, if the lady likes it, she can wear it herself."

Zheng Min smiled and said: "Why don't you match, your wife is as stubborn as a cow, and she dares to talk back to your grandmother, I think it's a perfect match."

At this time, the little lady who came in with Zheng Min came over and asked, "Amin, are you familiar with this little lady?"

She is wearing an autumn-colored skirt, with an oval face, long eyebrows and almond eyes. She looks very beautiful, but when she looks at people, there is a hint of arrogance in her expression

Zheng Min didn't know how to answer for a while, so she thought for a while and said, "She is my... the cousin I often talk about. However, she doesn't recognize us now."

"Oh, that's what you often talk about, that...cousin?" The woman pursed her lips and smiled, and said meaningfully.Obviously, she is aware of the grievances and grievances between Hua Jiao and Zheng Min.

"In this way, I think that the flower tins here are not suitable. It's better to ask her to order a frog-shaped emerald tin with the shopkeeper."

In Lan'an City, young ladies gather together and often play a kind of flower cards. If they lose, they will stick a frog-shaped flower coin and learn how to croak like a frog.

Huajiao and Zheng Min bickered and choked each other since they were young, and the two of them never let the other go. She has already said something worse than this on weekdays, and she has long been used to it.Now hearing that a person she had never met before dared to taunt her, I felt a little unhappy.

She turned around with a smile and asked, "Who are you?"

The little lady raised her eyebrows, with a haughty expression on her face: "My name is Kong Yu, and my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

The corner of the painting hooked his lips and smiled: "Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Mrs. Kong's father's official position is really great."

Kong Yu's face changed slightly, he snorted lightly, and said, "It's not too big, but it's enough for me to receive the post about the Peony Banquet from Her Royal Highness Princess Jing'an. I wonder if you have received it?"

Although Huajiao is not in Lan'an all year round, she still knows about the annual Peony Banquet.However, she naturally did not receive the invitation for the Peony Banquet.
