Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 66 She’s okay

Noon.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Ping'an County Yamen, Pei Zhizhao was called away by Han Fang. He was away from the Yamen during this period and had many things to deal with.

Before leaving, Pei Zhizhao put his hand on the carriage door and stood under the carriage and told Jiang Xihe worriedly, "Don't be in a hurry. Pack your things first. I'll be busy and take you back later."

The two people agreed on the road that the renovation of Jiang Xihe's house had been completed, and Jiang Xihe would move back in this time.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll go back and check on the situation at home first, and send back these books given by the master." Jiang Xihe also wanted to make some soothing soup for Pei Zhizhao. Since she knew what Pei Zhizhao was worried about, she felt particularly sorry for him, "Sir, go and get busy. Yours, I’ll wait for you.”

Jiang Xihe smiled brightly, and a touch of tenderness appeared on Pei Zhizhao's face.

Han Fang stared at the two people from a distance and found that this time after returning from Tongshan Mansion, there was a harmony between the two people from the inside out. It was great. He would like to see the general no longer have so much violence.

Jiang Xihe ordered the carriage to return to Yong'an Lane. From a distance, he saw that the wall of his house had been raised, the gate had been reinforced, and the corridor in the yard that had been washed away by the flood had been paved with square stones. It was no longer the dilapidated yard before.

Thinking that all this was Pei Zhizhao's arrangement, Jiang Xihe's heart was filled with happiness.

She is happy and wants to bring this happiness to Pei Zhizhao. He is suffering too much. Knowing his past, she hopes that she can be his little sun, illuminating him and warming him.

Returning to the government office, Jiang Xihe packed up her small parcel. She actually didn't have much, except a long dress given to her by Pei Zhizhao and a pair of embroidered shoes that she liked very much.

He had done so much for her, and Jiang Xihe just wanted to give him a peaceful sleep in return.

When she walked out of the west courtyard, she saw a cloudless sky, saw the racks of weapons in the courtyard, and walked into the east courtyard where Pei Zhizhao lived.

This was the first time she walked into his bedroom. The furnishings inside were very simple, including a desk, a bookshelf, and two mahogany boxes under the window. The quilt on the bed was folded squarely by him, and pens, inks, papers, and inkstones were also placed on the desk. Placed very neatly.

Jiang Xihe thought to himself that Pei Zhizhao was always so well-behaved. A man like him was upright and acted like a green pine.

Jiang Xihe carried the quilt and walked to the weapons rack, wiped the railing with a rag, and jumped up and put the quilt on the rack.

The sun is very bright.

Jiang Xihe went to the kitchen to prepare the ingredients and then came back. The white quilt was fluffy and soft in the sun. She liked the smell of the sun very much and hoped that Pei Zhizhao could have a good sleep tonight.

Jiang Xihe flattened the corners of the quilt with his hands, then found a wooden stick to beat it, and circled the quilt twice. When he turned back for the third time, Pei Zhizhao stood under the quilt on one side and watched quietly. she.

"Why are you back, sir?" Jiang Xihe was surprised and excited.

"This is my yard, why don't I come back?" The quilt blocked the sunlight, and Pei Zhizhao's angular face was hidden in the shadows, his eyes burning.

"Your Excellency, you can handle the business so quickly? You are indeed very capable." Jiang Xihe avoided Pei Zhizhao's gaze, his heart beat two beats faster, and he blurted out the words of praise.

Pei Zhizhao couldn't help but smile, "Ms. Jiang is no less impressive. Whether she goes to court or not, she can turn conflicts into friendship."

Pei Zhizhao was referring to the incident in Tongshan Mansion.

Jiang Xihe smiled happily and said, "Master Pei, let's not flatter each other. You are really good. As for me, I just have to do it."

Pei Zhizhao took a step closer, and Jiang Xihe's heart beat faster.

She felt that Pei Zhizhao was about to do something and turned around quickly.

Pei Zhizhao's laughter was just behind his ears. Jiang Xihe felt his ears were numb. He just heard him say, "How can someone who cares about me having enough food be reluctant? You have done a lot of things. If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about this dinner." Well, today Aunt Zhao doesn’t know I’m coming back, what would I do without you?”

Jiang Xihe chuckled, "Isn't there also Brother Han?" "He went out to do some work and won't be back until later."

Jiang Xihe smiled secretly, "Since the adults said that, I don't care. All we have been eating in Tongshan Mansion these days is the food in the inn. I'm tired of it. I finally came back. Let's eat meat-stuffed wonton stew in the evening?"

Pei Zhizhao said yes.

"It's just this minced meat..." Jiang Xihe smiled brightly, "Isn't it inappropriate for the magistrate to chop stuffing in the kitchen?"

It was Pei Zhizhao's turn to smile, "Food is the most important thing for the people, and the county magistrate also needs to eat enough to have the strength to work. Come on, let's see what I can do."

In the kitchen, Pei Zhizhao tucked the skirt of his robe into his waist, picked up the kitchen knife, first cut the meat into four square cubes, then waved the knife and chopped up the stuffing.

Jiang Xihe kneaded the noodles, used a spatula, and rolled out the wonton wrappers. Soon, the triangular wonton wrappers were ready.

Looking up at Pei Zhizhao, he waved the kitchen knife with his strong arm. The pork belly that was just a block of pork belly had turned into flat minced meat.

When they came back from Qingfeng Mountain before, the two of them rode a horse together. She felt the strength in his chest. This morning, after he told about his past, the two of them hugged each other tightly.

Jiang Xihe has never been so close to a man. In addition to the happiness he brings her, there is also a sense of power unique to men surrounding her.

Jiang Xihe stared blankly. Pei Zhizhao is good-looking. In addition to being good-looking, he also has a power that makes people convincing and addictive.

When the two hugged, Jiang Xihe had touched the bulging thing on his body, and his unique domineering surrounding her made Jiang Xihe blush and her heart beat a few beats faster.

Pei Zhizhao felt Jiang Xihe's gaze, and when he came up to meet her, the little girl didn't know what she was thinking. Her cheeks were pink and delicate, and she asked, "What's wrong?" Pei Zhizhao put down the knife in his hand, wiped his hands, and walked to Jiang Xihe.

"Sir, don't come over here!" Jiang Xihe's face turned redder in fright, and heat rushed up from the soles of his feet.

Without stopping, Pei Zhizhao walked up to Jiang Xihe and stretched out his hand, and touched the little girl's forehead with his fingertips. Both of them were shocked.

"I don't have a fever." Jiang Xihe covered up her embarrassment and pointed directly at the fire: "It's the emergency over there, the kitchen is too hot." She lowered her head, her long eyelashes blocking her shining eyes, and her panic betrayed her thoughts.

Pei Zhizhao hid a smile on his lips, leaned down slightly, and looked for Jiang Xihe's eyes. The more he looked for her, the more he avoided her. Finally, he pulled her over and held the little girl tightly in his arms.

"I really want to get married to you as soon as possible, but I know I can't do that." Pei Zhizhao said in a hoarse voice, pouring out his heart, "I want you to marry me beautifully."

Jiang Xihe listened to his strong heartbeat, smiled in his arms and closed her eyes. It felt so good. She liked him, very, very much.

She also looks forward to being with him soon. They live together and have one more person to rely on in this world.

.........

Jiang Xihe returned to Yong'an Lane after dinner, carrying the gifts brought to Liu Tang and Aunt Zhao from Tongshan Mansion, and knocked on the door of Liu's house.

Aunt Zhao came to open the door, and after some pleasantries she frowned and said, "Liu Tang is currently working as a helper at Huiren Medical Center in the south of the city. She hasn't come back yet. I don't want her to do it. She has only been there for three days and has not returned home on time."

Jiang Xihe was very surprised: "I didn't hear Liu Tang mention going to the medical clinic before I went to Tongshan Mansion."

Aunt Zhao explained continuously: "This was decided the day before yesterday. The embroidery workshop was closed at short notice. Liu Tang wanted to wait at home for a while, but unexpectedly, a coworker introduced her to the hospital."

Jiang Xihe was very sorry not to see Liu Tang, but thinking that it was Liu Tang's decision, he still comforted Aunt Zhao: "Liu Tang, are you still worried? She is serious about everything she does. She will be fine."
