Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 35
Flower and Bird Square is located in the south of the city, and it takes about two quarters of an hour to arrive in a carriage.

"My lord, should we park outside the workshop or drive in?" In front of the Flower and Bird Workshop, Chang Shun looked at the bluestone roads filled with various potted plants on both sides, and turned around to ask for instructions.

"Park outside." Pei Jinghan said through the curtain.

Chang Shun guessed that the master would say that, otherwise, if he rushed in, what would he do if the horse stole someone else's potted plant?
After parking the carriage at the entrance of the alley, Chang Shun got out of the carriage first, and after setting up the wooden bench, he opened the curtain from one side.

Ning Xiang quietly straightened her clothes, bowed her head and went out first, standing on the ground, seeing the quiet and elegant potted plants in the alley, she suddenly didn't feel particularly disgusted with going out this time.She likes flowers and plants, as well as cute pets such as cats and dogs. It would be great if Pei Jinghan always behaved on the way back.

"Let's go, let's take a stroll first." Instructing Changshun to wait outside, Pei Jinghan smiled and said to Ningxiang.

Ning Xiang hummed and followed behind him.

After walking a few steps, Pei Jinghan slowed down and insisted on staying beside her.

Ning Xiang remembered Su Yue's words, followed him obediently, walked beside him, and looked curiously at the potted plants in the shop next to her.

"The peonies are blooming well now, let's buy two pots of peonies back?" After walking for a while, Pei Jinghan stopped in front of a Zhao Fen peony with most of its buds in bud and only two slightly bloomed peonies, and turned to discuss with Ning Xiang.

"This pot is pretty good." Ning Xiang stared at the flowers intently, and praised sincerely.

"Then buy this pot?" Pei Jinghan still asked her.

Ning Xiang had no choice but to look at him and said, "Buy it if you like it."

Pei Jinghan smiled softly, moved to a pot of Erqiao next to it, touched the two-colored petals lightly, and said softly: "Actually, I like Erqiao the most for Peony. Does Ningxiang know why?"

Ning Xiang shook her head pretending not to know.

Pei Jinghan motioned her to come closer to him.

Ning Xiang glanced at the shopkeeper who wanted to come out to greet them but was stopped by Pei Jinghan with a wave of his hand. Seeing him smiling and looking at the door, she expected that Pei Jinghan would not do anything out of the ordinary, so she obediently walked to his side.

Pei Jinghan bowed his head and whispered to her: "Because every time I see Er Qiao, I think of you and Su Yue. When you two stand together, no matter how beautiful Er Qiao is, it can't compare to you."

Although such straightforward love words were not what she wanted to hear, Ning Xiang still blushed at the man's words and bowed her head in silence.

Pei Jinghan understood this as tacit consent, smiled with satisfaction, called the shopkeeper, and ordered him to deliver this pot of Erqiao to Zhenyuanhou's Mansion.

Being able to do business in the Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion, the shopkeeper nodded and bowed, pointed to the inside of the shop and said, "Master, would you like to take a look at the one next to it?"

Pei Jinghan glanced at it, then called Shang Ningxiang to go forward.

It is the season when peonies are in full bloom, and almost every flower shop has peonies on display.

Pei Jinghan casually looked at these peonies, and suddenly his eyes fixed. Then he walked to a pot of Zhao Fan whose buds were half in bloom, and stretched out his hand to pinch off the smallest and most pink one.

"Your Majesty likes this pot?" The shopkeeper also recognized Pei Jinghan and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Send it to the Hou's Mansion." Pei Jinghan said calmly, and continued walking, holding a pink peony flower in his hand.When he got to the middle of the two shops, he turned around and held the flower in his hand in front of Ning Xiang, "Do you like it?"

Ning Xiang immediately understood that the flower was for her.

She bit the inside of her lip quietly, nodded with a slightly red face, and raised her hand to pick it up.

Finally gave the right gift once, and finally made her accept it willingly. Pei Jinghanfeng's eyes were tender, and when her little hand was about to touch him, he suddenly raised his hand, then pressed her shoulder with one hand, looked at the top of her head and said: " I'll put it on for you."

Ning Xiang's face turned red, and she looked at the curious guests from the shop diagonally opposite. She was so ashamed that she couldn't bear to hide, "My lord, this is inappropriate..."

"I'll do it if I say so." Pei Jinghan didn't care about other people's gaze, so he clasped her shoulders to prevent her from moving.

Ning Xiang was stiff all over, looking down at the hem of his clothes.

Pei Jinghan made the hairpin for her, stepped back and looked at it with a smile, only to see the little girl blushing, her long eyelashes flapping nervously, covering her watery almond eyes.

"Look up and show me." Pei Jinghan said in a low voice.

Ning Xiang just wanted to quickly get rid of the current embarrassing situation, she raised her head bravely, her clear apricot eyes were full of nervousness and shame, but she looked more agile, and her pretty face was delicate and moist, and the cloud-like powder made her dizzy. The peonies on the ground have lost their color.

Pei Jinghan stared at her red lips, and really wanted to taste it now.

But he knew that she would not be able to bear kissing her in public, and he didn't want people to see her being loved by him, so he boasted hoarsely in her ear, and said with a smile: "Okay, I bought the flowers, now you can go to Bainiao lived."

It was the most famous bird shop in Fucheng.

Ning Xiang was eager to leave here immediately, she blushed and nodded.

The master and servant continued to walk side by side, passing the last flower shop, Ning Xiang was attracted by a pot of roses, when she turned her head, she caught a glimpse of a tall figure from the corner of her eye.She couldn't tell whether the figure was too outstanding, or the open alley in the early morning highlighted his existence, but she just saw him.

Ning Xiang looked over casually, and saw Lu Cheng's sinking face, he stared straight at her eyes, as if he had recognized her long ago.

At that moment, Ningxiang's heartbeat seemed to stop.

Why is Lu Cheng here?

Then she noticed the birdcage in his hand, and there was a white-haired parrot in it, lying there listlessly.

Ning Xiang immediately remembered what Lu Cheng said when he sent her back that day. He said that Anan stopped crying because he got a parrot.Therefore, Lu Cheng's visit to Huaniaofang today should have something to do with that parrot.

So, how long has he been watching?

His eyes fell on his feet, and his feet were only two shops away from hers. I'm afraid he would have spotted them long ago, right?

The peony on the head seemed to suddenly become extremely heavy.

Lu Cheng must have seen Pei Jinghan wearing flowers for her, could he have misunderstood...

"Like this pot of roses?" Pei Jinghan took two steps ahead, turned around and found her standing in front of a pot of roses, and immediately turned back.

Ning Xiang regained consciousness in an instant, looked at the bright yellow rose in front of her eyes, and forced herself to laugh, "This color is very fresh, I can't say I like it, my son, let's go, hurry up and help the second son choose a bird."

Pei Jinghan only had her eyes on her, and he didn't notice a man in common clothes parked not far behind him. He was sure that she really didn't want to buy that rose, so he continued on.

Ning Xiang couldn't see Lu Cheng, but felt his persistent gaze, like a glow on her back.

She was disturbed, and she didn't understand why she decided to make a deal with Pei Jing Hanxu, but she was bumped into by an acquaintance, but it happened to be Lu Cheng.Apart from relatives, Lu Cheng is the only outsider who believes that she has no intentions for Pei Jinghan, and also the only outsider who knows that she wants to redeem her body. Now, will he misunderstand that she is vain, hypocritical and insincere?
But what if there is a misunderstanding?
Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, and Lu Chengcheng would no longer like her.

Thinking of this, Ning Xiang suddenly calmed down.

As long as she knows what she's doing, it's really okay for one more person to misunderstand her.

Breathing out lightly, Ning Xiang followed Pei Jinghan into the Baitori Gate, but when she turned around, she still couldn't help casting her peripheral vision over it.

Lu Cheng kept walking, still walking forward.

Ningxiang's palms were sweating, she could only hope that Lu Cheng was not coming to Baitorii.

However, she was doomed to be disappointed. The cockatiel that Lu Cheng was carrying was bought by his third uncle for his daughter at the Bird House.At the beginning of the month, the parrot was given to Anan, because the little guy liked it and wanted to play with the cage every day. The four siblings, Lu Cheng, took extra care of the parrot.But after all, I haven’t raised it before. The parrot didn’t like to eat since the day before yesterday. No matter how Anan yelled at the cage, the parrot stopped talking, and Anan was so anxious that every day when Lu Cheng came home, the little guy would drag his father away. Looking at the parrot, I hope daddy can help him heal his playmate quickly.

Lu Cheng knows how to heal fruit trees, but he doesn't know anything about parrots. Today he has time to go to the city, and the third uncle doesn't know what to do, so he asked him to come to Baitorii to ask.

Then Lu Chengcheng saw the girl who was thinking about it day and night, and saw her get off the carriage with Pei Jinghan, and they were talking and laughing all the way to enjoy the flowers.

At the very beginning, Lu Cheng told himself that she was working beside Pei Jinghan, and the two of them were familiar with each other, talking and laughing was normal.

But he couldn't help speeding up his pace, and when he got closer, he realized what kind of eyes Pei Jinghan was looking at her, and then realized that he was not the only one who liked her.Just when Lu Cheng wanted to lie to himself and tell himself that at least Ningxiang didn't like Pei Jinghan, he saw Pei Jinghan picking a peony with his own hands, and she stood there obediently, bowing her head to let him put it on for her.

Lu Cheng's heart was on fire, but it seemed that someone had poured cold water on him.

When he got closer to her, she wanted to hide, turned her head and refused to show him, but now she was willing to let Pei Jinghan make such an intimate gesture, still in broad daylight, on the street where pedestrians came and went.

Why isn't she shy now?

Who would believe that she had no other thoughts about Pei Jinghan?

Lu Cheng didn't believe it.

He was angry, angry that he was deceived by her words, thinking that she was really a good girl who was not greedy for wealth, and hated himself for liking her so much.

He wanted to turn his head and leave without looking at the two of them again, but his legs were uncontrollable, and he followed them not far or near, his eyes didn't listen to him, and he refused to leave her for a moment.

No, as soon as he stepped into the Hundred Torii Gate, he immediately looked for her figure again.

Why do you still want to see her making out with others?
Lu Cheng didn't know, he just wanted to see her, to see if she had any difficulties.

Deep down in his heart, he still didn't want to believe that the soft-hearted and kind-hearted woman would lie to him, and would do something to her face and another behind her back.

Finding her in the shop, Lu Cheng walked in calmly, and stood aside a few steps away, waiting for the shopkeeper to greet their master and servant first.

There were large and small bamboo birdcages hanging inside the shop. Ning Xiang stood beside Pei Jinghan and listened to him talking to the shopkeeper, but her eyes were nervously watching the shop door. The moment she saw Lu Cheng come in, she immediately turned her head in the opposite direction, her heart beating like crazy. drum.

Did Lu Cheng come here for her, or was it just a coincidence?
