Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 21 It seems that others are okay
  The next day, while Jiang Xihe was still sleeping, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Tang urged again and again, "Xiaohe, are you not up yet? Hurry up, Mr. Qi's carriage will leave the city soon. Hurry up and see him off." .”

Jiang Xihe opened his eyes, got up quickly, rubbed his eyes, "Wait for me, right away."

After getting dressed, wiping his face and rinsing his mouth, Jiang Xihe opened the door and Liu Tang handed over a bun and a tea egg.

Jiang Xihe leaned on Liu Tang's shoulder and smiled, "Tell me, how can I thank you?"

Liu Tang scolded, "I don't want much silver, just ten taels!"

Jiang Xihe glared exaggeratedly, "Ten liang? You, a little girl, are so open-minded, how can you still do it? Who dares to marry a wicked woman like you in the future?" As he spoke, he scratched the soft flesh on Liu Tang's side with one hand, and Liu Tang was so scared that Liu Tang hugged her with his arms. Live yourself and dodge in the yard.

After fussing for a long time, Jiang Xihe remembered, "By the way, I took over the job of cooking for Mr. Pei yesterday at the county government office for Aunt Zhao. What do you think? Don't worry about breakfast. Brother Han will come to the stall to get it. Aunt Zhao Just make lunch and dinner.”

Liu Tang stopped and looked worried, "Didn't you say that Magistrate Pei is difficult to get along with?"

Jiang Xihe was speechless for a moment. The look in Pei Zhizhao's eyes under the moon last night suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. She couldn't explain clearly. It seemed that he was not that serious.

Jiang Xihe carefully considered his words and said, "Yesterday, Xiao Mili's case came to court. I went to the county government office to make paperwork. Meng Fang's case is now progressing, and I have been at the scene all the time."

Jiang Xihe couldn't say that her impression of Pei Zhizhao had actually changed a bit, and he seemed to be okay.

"Let's do this, Liu Tang. I definitely can't harm Aunt Zhao. You tell Auntie about the situation and ask her to go to the county government office to have a look. If she feels it's OK, she'll do it. If it doesn't work, she'll just say she's not allowed to do it. If she refuses, what do you think? Sample?"

Liu Tang agreed, "That's good. You know cooking is not like other jobs. I'm worried that County Magistrate Pei's picky taste will make it difficult for my mother to do it."

Jiang Xihe nodded, "Do you know why Brother Han is looking for a cook for Master Pei?"

Liu Tang looked sideways.

"Because Brother Han can't cook anything else, Mr. Pei has been eating noodles for several years."

Liu Tang was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

Jiang Xihe finished the buns and used his free hand to help Liu Tang close his jaw. "It's not that exaggerated, but I guess it's at least one meal a day, so I feel that Aunt Zhao's craftsmanship will definitely make Mr. Pei's taste buds go wild."

Liu Tang laughed, "How are you? A few days ago, you said you were looking for a job in the Yamen. Seeing how happy you are that you found it? You even took the job for my mother."

Jiang Xihe actually couldn't tell what Pei Zhizhao was thinking. He didn't reject her, but he didn't directly tell her to stay in the Yamen.

"Let's go, let's see Master Qi off first. Anyway, I'm working hard to make money now, and I will definitely think of you two when good things happen."

Liu Tang took Jiang Xihe's arm and said, "Okay, I will follow you for the rest of my life. Don't even think about ditching me."

"Okay, Miss Liu, why don't you just obey me tonight..." Jiang Xihe tilted his head and held Liu Tang's chin. Liu Tang blushed and knocked down Jiang Xihe's paw with an angry smile, "Jiang Xihe, you Don’t learn well!”

Jiang Xihe ran away, a bud bulging out of her long aqua skirt. Her laughter echoed in the spring wind, and the willow branches bent with laughter.

Jiang Xihe and Liu Tang rushed to the city gate and happened to see Magistrate Lao Qi saying goodbye to the people who were seeing them off one by one. Jiang Xihe squeezed in front of them.

County Magistrate Qi saw her and waved happily, "Xiaohe."

Jiang Xihe saw a jar of wine on the carriage next to Magistrate Qi. There was a big red seal on the jar, written to Xiangtai Tower.

"Has the wine been delivered?" Jiang Xihe asked. It was the jar of daughter's red she ordered at Xiangtai Building a few days ago.

Old Man Qi was very happy, "Thank you for your trouble. The second owner of Xiangtai Building is back. I heard that you ordered this jar of wine. He specially brought me a jar of five-year-old wine. Xiaohe, I picked up a big one." It’s cheap.”

The old man was so happy because of the jar of wine. However, Jiang Xihe's face showed surprise when he heard the three words "Second Boss", "Xie Qiyuan is back?"

Old Man Qi nodded and whispered in her ear, "Xiaohe, it would not be a bad thing if the Li family breaks off the engagement. I think Mr. Xie is a nice person and he seems to be very special to you. If possible, you should consider it."

Jiang Xihe pretended to be angry, "Old man, don't talk nonsense."

Lao Qitou laughed and said, "Then I won't say anything anymore. Take care of yourself. If you have any good news in the future, you must let me know. I have to drink the wedding wine."

"There must be good news. When my brother is named on the gold medal list, I will give you a big bowl of wine."

"Good good!"

After everyone exchanged greetings, Lao Qitou drove away from Pingan Town.

Jiang Xihe watched him go away, feeling a sense of loss in his heart.

Looking up at the sky again, spring clouds are always clustered together in large groups. The sky is very blue and the sun is very warm. Bathed in the sunshine, a heat wave rises on my body.

Saying goodbye to Liu Tang, Jiang Xihe turned around and went to Xiangtai Tower.

Xie Qiyuan is back and she wants to take a look.

Old Man Qi's words just now came to mind, and Jiang Xihe shook his head. There was absolutely no way between her and Xie Qiyuan. They were just friends and would not go beyond that.

Before reaching Xiangtai Building, Jiang Xihe stopped. Xie Qiyuan, dressed in red and holding a white bone china bowl in his arms, stood at the door of Xiangtai Building and looked at her from a distance.

She and Xie Qiyuan have known each other since they were children. When they grew up, Xie Qiyuan and his brother Jiang Xifeng studied at his father's Xiangzhu Academy. The elder brother obtained academic honors along the way. Close.

Jiang Xihe ran over, "How did you know I would come?"

Xie Qiyuan smiled and shook his head, "I was planning to go find you. As soon as I walked out, I saw you with your head buried and a look of worry on your face. Why are you unhappy?"

"No way, I see you have nothing on your mind." Jiang Xihe straightened her mood and looked guiltily at the bone china bowl in Xie Qiyuan's arms. She couldn't admit that she was thinking of him just now.

"Give it to you." Xie Qiyuan said, "I followed the caravan to the south this time. It doesn't snow there in winter. We caught this fish in the lake accidentally."

"Give it to me?" Jiang Xihe's eyes sparkled excitedly, staring at the fish swimming in the porcelain bowl.

The little fish is all red, with its tail fin and belly almost touching each other.
  Jiang Xihe was a little worried and asked cautiously, "You really gave it to me? Can I take care of it?"

Xie Qiyuan just smiled.

Jiang Xihe frowned slightly, "Let's forget it. Give me the fish. If the fish dies, I will be sad."

Xie Qiyuan explained, "The merchant ship was traveling on the waterway and accidentally caught this fish. I was thinking of something new to give you to play with. Brother Feng is not at home. It's okay. You look at the small fish. It's interesting. If it dies, it will die. Don't worry about it. superior."

Jiang Xihe smiled faintly.

"Lawyer Jiang!" Han Fang called him.

Jiang Xihe turned around and saw Han Fang and Pei Zhizhao walking out of a jewelry shop not far away. Han Fang saw her and waved happily.

Jiang Xihe turned his attention to Pei Zhizhao. He was wearing a black brocade robe and had a cold face. He looked unhappy.
