Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 31 His intention
  Jiang Xihe was amused by Pei Zhizhao.

Pei Zhizhao raised his eyes. The little girl's eyes were red and her eyelids were still swollen, but the clarity in her eyes was the same as before.

Jiang Xihe was surprised when she drew a bow and hit a hundred coins. This unexpected fortune really made Jiang Xihe smile, even though she had no reason to, and couldn't, want the money.

"Is this arranged by the adults?" Jiang Xihe lowered his eyes, "Ten taels is too many." An indescribable emotion surged in Jiang Xihe's heart.

Pei Zhizhao walked behind Jiang Xihe again and said solemnly, "It's not worth mentioning."

Jiang Xihe was confused as she held the bow and arrow, but actually she was very happy. Regardless of whether she wanted the money or not, Pei Zhizhao's actions did make her a lot happier.

When Jiang Xihe was stunned, his arm was lifted up by Pei Zhizhao again. This time he held Jiang Xihe's forearm and slowly moved the target. Jiang Xihe was completely pulled by him. The two people's forearms were close to each other. Jiang Xihe could touch Pei Zhizhao by tilting his head. mandible.

She was too frightened to move and her breathing stopped.

Pei Zhizhao's aura surrounded her, which was the calmness and calmness of an adult man. Jiang Xihe stood in front of him, nervous but inexplicably relieved.

Jiang Xihe panicked and shot another arrow from the stall, hitting the wooden sign in the middle.

Neither man moved.

"Hit." Pei Zhizhao whispered in Jiang Xihe's ear, his voice was mellow and low, and the breath he blew tickled Jiang Xihe's ears, and she felt like she was going to burst.

Pei Zhizhao put down his bow and arrow, and at the same time put down Jiang Xihe's arm, still whispering in her ear, "I fought in the northwest, and after returning to Beijing, the emperor gave me countless rewards. Even if I am the magistrate of Ping'an County, I still have a first-class salary. This money, no It’s nothing, you don’t have to take it to heart.”

Jiang Xihe's face turned redder, and his heart beat harder.

So, is this money really Pei Zhizhao's private money? Did he do this just to make her happy?
  Jiang Xihe's heart became even more confused.

Pei Zhizhao walked under the eaves again and raised his hand towards the wooden sign.

Jiang Xihe secretly raised his eyes. Today, he was wearing a dark brown brocade dress, a purple jade Raven belt around his waist, and thick-soled dark pattern boots. When he stretched out his slender arms, he looked even more tall and strong.

Jiang Xihe only thought Pei Zhizhao was cold and stern before, but now there was something disturbing about this cold man.

Pei Zhizhao turned around and Jiang Xihe quickly lowered his eyes.

"Good luck, two taels." Pei Zhizhao's words were full of praise.

Jiang Xihe shook his head, "This is your money, I really can't take it."

The blush on the little girl's face hasn't gone away since just now. Pei Zhizhao looked at the two wooden signs in his hand with a serious look and whispered, "Well, I have important things to do in a few days. I'll take the money first." Leave it with you, and you can cash it in with me at any time."

Jiang Xihe didn't understand again, "Your Excellency just gave me my wages."

An imperceptible smile flashed across Pei Zhizhao's lips, "Work is wages. You will use the money sooner or later. Do you want to bet?"

Jiang Xihe didn't dare to answer, and her face became redder and redder.

Pei Zhizhao had made sarcastic remarks to her before, and Jiang Xihe rolled his eyes from time to time in his heart. Although he said more now, Jiang Xihe did not dare to speculate on his thoughts. Pei Zhizhao made her unable to understand.

Pei Zhizhao then took the wooden signs off the eaves one by one, looked through them and put them in Jiang Xihe's hand, "Take it, you can cash it in with me anytime in the future."

Jiang Xihe felt that his brain was not enough, and he felt that he could not resist Pei Zhizhao's actions.

This was not silver, it was just a wooden sign with the number of silver written on it. It was very light but heavy at the same time. The small wooden sign was worth ten taels of silver. She had only saved up to forty taels after saving for more than half a year.

Jiang Xihe looked at Pei Zhizhao. It was still the same face she was familiar with. The eyebrows were straight, the bridge of the nose was high, the eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and the lips were tightly pursed.

A gust of wind blew the fragrance of flowers, and the spring sunshine slanted on the eaves in the distance. Birds were chirping, and something suddenly sprouted in Jiang Xihe's heart.

"I'm hungry." Pei Zhizhao took the bow and arrow from Jiang Xihe and looked deep into her eyes.

Jiang Xihe's face became hot again. She remembered that not long ago, when Pei Zhizhao came to discuss Meng Fang's case with her in the county government meeting hall, she was just like this. "Then... shall I invite you to dinner?" Jiang Xihe was not sure what Pei Zhizhao meant.

"Salivating chicken and fish." Pei Zhizhao agreed happily.

Along the way, Jiang Xihe followed Pei Zhizhao, feeling confused. Pei Zhizhao had just made it clear that he was going to her house for dinner, and asked Jiang Xihe to cook it for him personally.

Jiang Xihe couldn't refuse, because she still held the wooden sign worth ten taels of silver in her hand.

When he arrived at the market entrance, Pei Zhizhao stopped and Jiang Xihe understood, "Master Pei, wait here for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I go."

Before she even took a step forward, Jiang Xihe blushed in embarrassment. She came out in a hurry and didn't bring any money with her.

Pei Zhizhao took a few small wooden signs from Jiang Xihe's hand, reached into his sleeves and took out some broken silver, which was enough for two people to have a good meal.

"I'll return it to you later, sir, and I'll treat you to this meal."

Pei Zhizhao nodded in agreement, but Jiang Xihe didn't know how to face him.

······
  in the kitchen.

Jiang Xihe bought a fish, a chicken leg, green vegetables and mushrooms. The leftover meat filling from making buns in the morning was still on the stove. After thinking about it, Jiang Xihe decided to make another meatball.

Pei Zhizhao tucked the hem of his brocade clothes around his waist, stretched out his legs and sat down in front of the stove fire, intending to light it.

Jiang Xihe was really embarrassed, "Master Pei, I will do these things, you can rest."

Pei Zhizhao said slowly, "When we were fighting in the northwest, we often didn't have enough to eat because of fighting with small groups of enemies. There were kitchens in the military camp, and everyone worked hard. When there were not enough manpower, anyone could go to war. When we returned to the camp, it was best to light a fire and cook. Common thing.”

Jiang Xihe took a deep look at Pei Zhizhao. This was the first time Pei Zhizhao had talked to her calmly, apart from discussing the case.

Jiang Xihe no longer refused, she also wanted to have someone by her side.

Pei Zhizhao quickly lit the stove fire, and the firelight projected from under the stove. The crackling firewood made the kitchen warm. Jiang Xihe accidentally glanced at Pei Zhizhao's profile. He stared at the flames with a heavy gaze.

The chicken legs were cooked quickly. Jiang Xihe took out the chicken legs soaked in cold water and cut them into thin slices.

Because Pei Zhizhao wanted to help, Jiang Xihe handed him the onions and garlic again.

Turning around several times, Jiang Xihe saw Pei Zhizhao carefully peeling garlic. His slender fingers could not only hold the sword, but also sit here quietly, preparing ingredients for the saliva chicken.

The fish had been cleaned at the market entrance. After Jiang Xihe cleaned it, he directly fried it at high temperature. When he saw that both sides of the fish were golden, he quickly added soup and stewed it. Soon the fish fragrance spread away.

Jiang Xihe's stomach finally started to growl after being hungry for several days.

Smelling the aroma of rice and staring at the blazing fire under the stove, mist filled Jiang Xihe's eyes, and she turned around silently to prevent her tears from falling.

Life is actually pretty good.

There will be sadness, and there will be happiness, just like now, the burning flame, the upward momentum infects her, the flames rise in clusters, vigorous and vigorous, Jiang Xihe also wants to burn, to make herself full of strength.

Pei Zhizhao had his back to him, with broad shoulders and a strong body. A few pieces of hair hanging on his shoulders blocked his depressed eyebrows.

Jiang Xihe understood Pei Zhizhao's intention in an instant.

He wanted to be with her, eat with her, and get through this pain with her.

Yes.

Everything will eventually pass, and she doesn't want to just extinguish it.
