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

Chapter 123 Zhou Ye
Pei Xiao pinched himself hard.

"Um... when you get to the government office later, don't speak to your brother in this manner. Be submissive, respectful, and gentle."

Yan Sanhe gritted his teeth.

"Don't grit your teeth, and your eyes should be gentler. The rich lady's eyes are soft and can make you cry..."

"Yan Sanhe, you don't have to pay so much attention."

Xie Zhifei hurriedly spoke up before Yan Sanhe became angry and said with a smile: "Keep your face expressionless, don't look sideways, just stay silent."

I can do this!
Yan Sanhe snorted coldly, tossed his sleeves and walked away.

She was used to walking fast, and she couldn't remember that her skirt was under her feet, so she stumbled.

Xie Zhifei: "Sanhe, be careful!"

Li Buyan: "Miss, be careful!"

Pei Buwan: "Goddess, be careful!"

After saying "be careful" three times, the goddess Yan Sanhe fell down and was thrown several feet away.

There was dead silence, and Mr. Xie raised the corners of his mouth in a sly manner.

Sanhe?

Well, it sounds very smooth.

……

Nanning Mansion.

government office.

The yamen servant took the official seal, looked at it, and said hurriedly and respectfully: "Master Pei, wait a moment, I will go back to the magistrate."

Pei Xiao asked casually, "You adults didn't go to the mountains and fields today?"

The Yamen servant was stunned and thought to himself: How did he know that our adults had this habit?

"My lord has not gone out today."

Pei Xiao looked at Xie Zhifei: We are pretty lucky.

Xie Zhifei looked at the side with a sullen face, just like Yan Sanhe who owed her 5 taels of silver: This is called east is not going well, west is going well.

The yamen servant came back very quickly, "Sir Pei, the prefect has invited me."

"Lead the way."

"Yes!"

A group of people entered the government office and after passing through the double red doors, they saw a middle-aged man standing under the eaves with his hands behind his back.

The man was about forty years old, with ordinary appearance, dark skin, and three deep Sichuan lines between his eyebrows. He looked quite aged.

If it weren't for the blessing of the official uniform, it would have been impossible to tell that this person was actually Zhou Ye, the prefect of Nanning Prefecture.

The magistrate is the fifth rank, and You Shanshi is the sixth rank. The size of the official position determines who gets to say hello first.

Pei Xiao stepped forward and clasped his fists, enthusiastically saying, "Mr. Zhou, I have long admired my name, excuse me, excuse me."

Zhou Ye nodded slightly: "Master Pei is here to come. If you are not far away, please come!"

After finishing the official tone, we entered the inner hall, which was decorated in a simple and solemn way.

Everyone sat down and the Yamen servants served tea.

The tea wasn't very good either, with a few tea stalks floating on top.

When Yan Sanhe was about to drink, he heard Xie Zhifei coughing from behind.

The rich lady eats well, drinks well, and uses it well, but this kind of tea is not pleasing to the eye.

Yan Sanhe was always simmering with anger, but he was reminded by the third master that holding the teacup was not a matter of drinking, nor was it not drinking.

So angry!
At this moment, Zhou Ye glanced at the six people one by one, and finally landed on Yan Sanhe.

"This one is the youngest girl in my family. She will get married after the Mid-Autumn Festival. This trip..."

Pei Xiao sighed heavily, "To be honest with Mr. Zhou, even I think this marriage is not suitable..."

"Snapped!"

Yan Sanhe placed the tea cup heavily on the small table, his face darkened.

Finally found a chance to vent.

"Master Zhou, take a look, take a look."

Pei Xiao looked so gloomy.

"She's so used to it that she's gone. If she insists on following her out, no one can persuade her, and there's nothing we can do." Zhou Ye was not interested in what was going on inside the mansion, so he withdrew his gaze and said sternly: "Master Pei's trip is far away. is for……"

"cough!"

Pei Xiao looked calm, "This trip was originally to check out our temples in Guangdong and Guangxi, and to do some personal things on the way."

Since it's a private matter, since I'm here...

Zhou Ye said happily: "What do you need my help with?"

"Simple."

Pei Xiao leaned closer and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, please give me a guide to Da Qi State. If it is convenient, I can write a handwritten note. I want to visit the Chief Envoy of Da Qi State."

Zhou Ye frowned: "Master Pei is going to Da Qi?"

Pei Xiao smiled, "Yes, since I'm here, I want to go and have a look."

"Master Pei, it's not that I am unaccommodating. Although the emperor has set up a chief envoy in Da Qi, Da Qi is a foreign country after all."

Zhou Ye flatly refused, "Master Pei, it's better not to go."

Master Pei frowned and bit his lip, looking very embarrassed.

"Master Zhou, this is a long story, please listen to me. My grandmother passed away years ago, and she always talked about some old things in the past few months before she died..."

According to the pre-arranged rhetoric, Mr. Pei spoke even more eloquently than the storyteller in the tea shop.

The image of a virtuous son and filial piety to his grandson is extremely vivid.

After hearing this, Magistrate Zhou looked very moved, but did not respond.

"Master Pei doesn't know something. The people of Daqi are fierce and unfriendly to us Chinese people."

"Why is this again?"

"It's a long story, and it really can't be explained in one or two sentences."

Magistrate Zhou looked up at the three guards behind Pei Xiao.

"Master Pei only has three personal guards, but he also has two female family members accompanying him. How about this? I will send eight more guards to follow. What do you think, sir?"

"This……"

Pei Xiao hesitated and glanced at Yan Sanhe.

It is indeed safe for the guards to follow, but they will also lose their freedom; if they are not allowed to follow, the prefect is afraid...

After weighing the pros and cons, he smiled and said, "Thank you very much, my subordinate."

"Master Pei, there is no need to be polite."

Magistrate Zhou waved his hand.

"You have come all the way here. Your first priority is safety. If anything happens, I, the parent officer of Nanning Mansion, will not be able to continue my job."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Miss Pei is a beautiful girl. When she arrives in Da Qi, she still needs to wear her curtains and hats to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"..."

Yan Sanhe was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ms. Pei was herself, and quickly replied with two words: "Thank you!"

Zhou Ye stood up: "Master Pei, have some tea first, I'll be back soon."

"No rush, no rush."

As soon as Zhou Ye left, the hall became quiet.

Xie Zhifei was afraid that the scene would be too cold and someone would notice something unusual, so he said to Li Buyan who was standing next to him: "Take Miss for a walk in the yard to see the scenery."

Yan Sanhe still had a sullen face: "It's too hot outside, so I'll just sit here."

Li Buyan shrugged at Xie Zhifei, indicating that she listened to the young lady.

Xie Zhifei lowered his head and smiled playfully.

Ever since she fell down in the morning, this girl has been so awkward that she doesn't even have to act like a wealthy lady. Now she looks just like her.

Little did he know that what was awkward about the "rich lady" was not the fall, but the deadly step on her head.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, Yan Sanhe went to Fubu Yao again. When he turned his head, he happened to see someone lowering his head and smiling.

How dare someone named Xie laugh?

Yan Sanhe snorted, "Xiao Xiezi."

Xie Zhifei hurriedly asked: "What are your orders, Miss?"
