The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 78

At noon, Tao Zhen cooked a table of dishes, and Huo Xing also came. The Pei family's dishes were very good, including fish and meat. What surprised him even more was that in this season, there was actually a plate of green vegetables. You know, In Ningzhou, even people like the Zhou family find it difficult to eat green vegetables in winter. After all, these things are really hard to come by in winter, and eating meat all winter long is really greasy.

Pei Zhan was not surprised. He knew they were sweet potato seedlings. Tao Zhen picked up two sweet potato plants outside before. Now there are several pots. They have been kept in the room. Tao Zhen and Pei Heng both raised them like babies. He finally stayed for the New Year food, but unexpectedly someone named Huo caught up with him. Pei Zhan felt very unhappy. When the food was served, he deliberately placed it farthest away from Huo Xing.

"What is this?" Huo Xing asked ignorantly.

"Sweet potato seedlings." Tao Zhen said with a smile.

She had some objections to Huo Xing because of what happened before, but he was an official after all, so she had to give him a smile. This was a survival rule that Tao Zhen had learned long ago.

"Why does it happen in winter?" Huo Xing was puzzled.

Tao Zhen said: "I planted it."

She also planted sweet potatoes, but she didn't say anything about it.

Huo Xing didn't ask either.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was a little weird because of Huo Xing. The Pei family were all well-educated and ate slowly, while Huo Xing was born in a big family and was naturally very elegant.

It was obviously a meal in a shabby thatched hut, but it seemed to have a bit of an official style.

After dinner, Tao Zhen poured him tea. The Pei family was really simple and there was nothing to entertain.

Tao Zhen asked Huo Xing: "Sir, you have been staying here for a long time. When will Ningzhou be thawed?"

She wanted to build a house soon. Now that she had saved some money, it was almost enough to build an ordinary one. Although the thatched house was now liveable, Tao Zhen still felt the gap since she stopped living with Pei Zhan.

It was very, very cold at night, and their quilts were not particularly thick. Especially in the middle of the night, when the fire went out, Tao Zhen felt like sleeping in an ice cave. When he woke up in the morning, the tea on the table was frozen.

Huo Xing thought for a while: "It will be March at least. It depends on the weather. Sometimes it will snow in March!"

One year, it snowed in May.

Tao Zhen calculated that there were still three months.

Huo Xing added: "The wind in Ningzhou is very strong in spring. You should be careful when you live here."

Tao Zhen had never been to such a northern place, so she naturally couldn't understand how strong the wind was as Huo Xing said, but she kept it in mind.

Seeing Tao Zhen and Huo Xing joking, Pei Zhan's eyes were deep and he felt very uncomfortable. He squeezed the teacup hard. When Tao Zhen was about to ask Huo Xing something again, a crisp "click" sound came from Pei Zhan. The tea cup was crushed to pieces.

Tao Zhen frowned: "What's wrong with you? Are you so careless?" The red blood looked very dazzling. He was often injured, and Tao Zhen was used to it, so he bandaged him with gauze or something.

What should she do? While she was worried about Pei Zhan, she also felt a little worried about the cup.

Huo Xing watched from the side without saying a word. Pei Zhan was really interesting.

After taking care of Pei Zhan's injury, Huo Xing left and Pei Zhan went out to see him off.

"Your medical skills are so good, it would be a pity to stay in the quarry." Huo Xing said suddenly.

Pei Zhan: "It's no pity. I am the guilty one."

Huo Xing: "Second Young Master Pei is so humble."

Pei Zhan: "Sir, please call me Pei Zhan."

Huo Xing glanced at him and said nothing more.

Huo Xing didn't come after that. I heard he was going to deal with Zhang Li's matter.

Tao Zhen was still thinking about the Four Treasures of the Study. She originally wanted to go to the city to attend some conference, but seeing that Pei Zhan was not very interested, she was worried about causing trouble to the Pei family. After all, they had different identities.

Pei Zhan saw it, but he didn't say anything. He seemed to be planning something.

Tao Zhen was pretty good at judging people. Pei Zhan was definitely not a creature of the pond, and he would not be willing to waste his time in this quarry.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Pei Zhan said he was going to the city. Tao Zhen thought that some kind of conference was also on that day. She might as well go and have a look. It would always be okay.

So the two of them went out together. Tao Zhen was dressed similarly to Pei Zhan, and she was still a Taoist priest. She was wrapped so tightly that it was difficult to tell whether she was a boy or a girl.

After entering the city, I found out that this conference was lively. Many people went to watch it. Tao Zhen and Pei Zhan went there.

There are many scholars and students on the big stage set up for the temple fair in the city. Those who have passed the preliminary round can go up and write according to the test questions.

Tao Zhen wanted Pei Zhan to go, but Pei Zhan had a tattoo on his face and couldn't participate. Tao Zhen had to go by himself. After all, No. 1 had a set of four treasures of the study and five taels of silver.

The name of the last contestant was Gu Shi. Tao Zhen said the name and went up with the invitation letter from the bookstore owner.
