The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 109 Rendezvous
"A bitch!"

Xie Zhifei became furious when he mentioned this matter.

"When I get back to Beijing, I have to mention it to Huairen. The year-end assessment of the personnel department cannot only assess political performance, but also assess character."

Huang Qi blurted out, "Third Master, is that thief an official?"

"I'm guessing he's a small official from somewhere in the corner."

Xie Zhifei didn't want to think about it anymore, "Maybe as Yan Sanhe expected, he would have died by a bandit's knife a long time ago."

……

There are horses in the official post, and each one is fat and thick.

The price of trading horses for horses was very cheap, and money was a man's confidence, so Xie Zhifei simply exchanged the other five horses.

After checking the horse's hooves and saddle, the shopkeeper had already taken out the hairpin before the two of them spoke.

He has worked in this official post for more than [-] years and has seen many officials, big and small.

The two young gentlemen in front of them speak the official dialect of the capital, and they are most likely from the capital. Judging from the aura of their conversation, they are probably from high-ranking families and cannot afford to offend.

"This meal tonight is considered as a small farewell to the two officials. No money is required."

Xie Zhifei was not polite at all, "Tell the kitchen to help us prepare two days' worth of dry food and six pieces of raincoats."

Shopkeeper: "Don't worry, sir, it will be well prepared."

two days?

Pei smiled and his hip muscles tightened.

Got it!
My butt will not be safe for two days.

……

When Master Yan Sanhe came downstairs, Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao were already sitting at the table.

Behind them, Zhu Qing and Huang Qi stood with their hands behind their backs.

Yan Sanhe walked over and said, "You two go sit down."

When the master is eating, how can he share the same table with his servants?That Miss Li has no rules and regulations, Zhu Qing doesn’t dare!
"Girl, eat first, we will do it later..."

"Then don't use it, everyone." Yan Sanhe said in a bad tone.

Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao looked at each other.

One shouted: "Zhu Qing, sit down!"

One shouted: "Astragalus, sit down!"

The master spoke, and the two of them had to sit down tremblingly.

Only then did Yan Sanhe sit down with Li Buyan.

Yan Sanhe coughed and said, "I ask you to eat together, firstly, to save time, and secondly, because I have something to say."

Zhu Qing saw that he was sitting lazily and had no intention of answering, so he hurriedly said: "Girl, please speak."

"Zhu Qing and Huang Qi, you two ride the best horses and get to Nanning Prefecture in Guangxi first."

Yan Sanhe: "When you arrive at Nanning Mansion, immediately ask where Mrs. Ji's natal family is. This will save the most time."

Huang Qi was anxious, "Miss Yan, how can I inquire?"

Yan Sanhe did not answer, but looked sideways at Xie Zhifei.

Xie Zhifei thought for a moment, "Ji's official residence is the Minister of Household Affairs. Such a distinguished person should be able to find out; if he really can't find out..."

"You won't be able to find out."

Yan Sanhe continued, "A fisherman's girl married into the capital and became the grandma, wife, and old lady of an official's family. No one else talks about such glorious things, and even the old lady's natal family cannot bear it."

When she said this, Zhu Qing suddenly understood: "Don't worry, girl, you will fulfill your mission. I just want to know where to meet the girl in the future?"

Yan Sanhe squinted his eyes again and looked at Master Pei.

At this glance, Master Pei actually understood.

"We are meeting at the most famous temple in Nanning Prefecture. Huang Qi, ask those bald donkeys to prepare good food and wait for my inspection."

Astragalus: "Yes!"

Yan Sanhe tapped his fingers on the table, "Where's the money? Give it to me!"

Xie Zhifei glanced at Zhu Qing, who quickly took out a few banknotes and said, "Miss Yan, please count them."

"Bring them all." Zhu Qing was out of breath, "Miss Yan, this silver..."

"You and Huang Qi keep 1000 taels with you, and the rest will be kept by me."

Yan Sanhe stared at the third master, "Don't worry, your third master won't starve to death."

The third master touched his nose with guilt, and then blinked.

Zhu Qing immediately took out a few banknotes and handed the rest to Yan Sanhe.

Pei Xiao secretly poked Xie Zhifei's with his knee: Brother, penniless men are miserable, are you sure you don't want to rebel?

Xie Zhifei raised his eyelids: Rebellion?The hairpin is still in my hand!
He took out the hairpin from his arms and handed it to Yan Sanhe, "Check if there is any damage?"

Yan Sanhe put the hairpin in his hand and fiddled with it a few times before changing his voice.

"On the next journey, you must obey my command the whole time. If you feel any pain in your body, you will grit your teeth and endure it. You can't help but think about the Ji family and the prison."

Pei smiled: "..."

This Goddess Yan finished cleaning up and thanked fifty, and then she came to clean up me? ? ?
Goddess Yan put the hairpin on the table and picked up the chopsticks, "Eat!"

While Xie Zhifei picked up the chopsticks, he took the initiative to touch Mr. Pei's with his foot: Mingting, why don't you rebel, this girl is too powerful!
Master Pei's mouth twitched: She holds my seven inches in her hand, how can she make it?
"You two, if you have any opinions about my young lady, just mention it. There is no need to protest with your eyes." Li Buyan said with a smile.

"No comment!"

The two men uttered three words at the same time, lowered their heads to eat at the same time, and cursed in their hearts: You have sharp eyes!
The last meal tasted very good.

Yan Sanhe slowly ate the last bite, gave it to Li Buyan generously, then rinsed his mouth with tea, and coughed lightly after all the chopsticks stopped.

"I heard that Third Master is asking about my birth date?"

Mr. Xie was drinking tea, and he almost choked to death when he spat out a puff of tea.

"That... I didn't mean to inquire, I just asked Miss Li casually as I was chatting with her."

After saying that, he quickly touched Pei Xiao's face with his knee.

Pei Xiao hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "In case your birthday falls within these two days, we can help you celebrate it."

Yan Sanhe picked up the teapot unhurriedly and refilled himself with some water.

"I never celebrate my children's birthdays or my mother's Good Friday. Is there anything else Mr. Xie wants to know?"

I ask, will you answer?
Yes, will it be true?

A person who even hides his birthday...

Xie Zhifei curled his lips and smiled, "No, let's go back to our rooms and rest."

This meal made him choke to death from his stomach!

……

At a quarter of the day, it was still dark.

At the gate of the official post, six horses galloped away, kicking up bursts of dust.

Two of the horses were extremely fast, almost riding fast, and they gradually distanced themselves from the four horses behind them.

When the sun rose, the two horses in front had already disappeared.

When the sun went down, Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao had their second meal of the day——

Two dry and cold steamed buns per person.

Xie Zhifei looked at the steamed buns in his hand and felt deeply in his heart: The third master really cannot die of hunger.

After eating, the four of them rested back to back for an hour before continuing on the road.

After all the dry food for two days was eaten, they finally moved into the official residence.

Bathing, changing clothes, eating, lodging, changing horses, and preparing enough dry food for two days... the cycle repeats.

Half a month later, Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao only belatedly discovered two things -

The first thing is that Yan Sanhe will always let them rest at the critical point of their collapse.

The second thing was that Li Buyan didn't let them worry at all. Whether it was finding an official post office or buying replacement clothes for the four of them, everything was arranged properly without any trouble.

Of course, Master Pei also made a surprising discovery——

After half a month of friction, his butt had become thick and rough.

Not to mention the pain, there was not even an itch, and there was even a faint tendency to feel uncomfortable if I didn't rub it on the horse's back.

Wow!
It’s so touching! ! !
