stern wife

Chapter 343
Pei Xiaoran walked over slowly, and saw a lantern dropped on the ground, and there was a small arrow stuck in the lantern, which was the one he shot.

Pei Xiaoran bent down and pulled out the small arrow, and put it back in his sleeve pocket.

The lantern fell over, and the light from the fire gradually ignited the whole lantern. With the light of the burning fire, Pei Xiaoran saw a ball of black ashes on the ground, and beside the ashes, there was a grass futon.

It seems that just now, it was her cousin sister who brought a girl with a lantern to burn paper money here, and knelt on the straw futon to worship whom.

Pei Xiaoran walked to the edge of the lake, squatted down, reached into the lake water to stir it, the lake water was icy cold, and with her stirring, there were layers of ripples.

What is the story in this lake?

Pei Xiaoran sighed, she wasn't very good at swimming, and she didn't know the depth of the lake, so if she accidentally drowned to find out, the loss outweighed the gain.

It would be great if someone with good water quality could go down and take a look for her.

It's a pity that there are still too few people around her.

Speaking of people who can be used, I can't help but think of her elder brother's promise to help her find some reliable people to serve as her personal soldiers.

Later, because her elder brother was going to fight against Lu Wei, this matter was shelved.

I don't know when her elder brother will come back. It's not that she is in a hurry to let her elder brother pick someone for her, but... She misses her elder brother a little.

Pei Xiaoran stared at the pitch-black lake for a while, and waited until the lanterns were all burned out, and even the light of the fire in the ashes was extinguished, then he stood up, turned and went back to his yard.

On the second day, Pei Xiaoran still got up early to get dressed, but his energy was a little weaker than before.

Han Chan asked softly while helping her dress:

"Why is your complexion so bad today? Did you not sleep well last night?"

Pei Xiaoran nodded without denying it, and said:
"Yeah, I had a nightmare."

Han Chan asked curiously:
"What nightmare is so terrible? It can scare you like this?"

Pei Xiaoran looked up to the sky and thought for a while, then shook his head and said:

"Can not remember."

Han Chan laughed and said:

"It's good to forget, so that you don't have to be afraid anymore."

While the two were talking, Nanny Pan opened the door and came in from the outside, holding a basin of warm water in her hand.

Nanny Pan put the copper basin on the basin stand, and said to Pei Xiaoran:
"Miss, come and wash up."

Pei Xiaoran nodded, remembering something, and said to Nanny Pan:
"Mommy, please send someone to help me deliver a message to someone. Just say that I have something to say to her personally, and I will wait for her in the private room in Zuixiaolou tonight."

Mother Pan was taken aback, then nodded and agreed:
"Okay. But, who is that person?"

Pei Xiaoran said slowly:

"The daughter of Mr. Zhao, Guozijian Jijiu, Zhao Zixuan."

Nanny Pan carefully remembered that there was a knock on the door suddenly, Nanny Pan turned and walked out, and when she came back, she said to Pei Xiaoran:
"Miss, just now the master sent someone to tell you that before you come back today, don't forget to ask your five masters for a few days off. Tomorrow the master will take you into the palace."

Pei Xiaoran was puzzled and said:

"What are you taking me into the palace for?"

Grandma Pan said:

"It is said to go hunting in the paddock with His Majesty."

Pei Xiaoran was speechless, thinking that her father and the old lady were really in the same line, and would not send someone to inform them of anything until the day before, for fear that others would have time to prepare in advance.

But fortunately, she is not particular about people, and she has nothing to prepare, just pack a few changes of clothes into a small package and get to work.

Pei Xiaoran nodded to indicate that he understood, and jumped out of bed to wash in front of the copper basin.

Pei Xiaoran was clear in his heart that her father would never take the initiative to take his son out to 'show his face'. This should be a special order from the sage to make Pei Xingshan take him with him, so Pei Xingshan had no choice but to go out with him. of.

And the reason why the Holy Majesty gave such an order should be because I showed my hand in front of the Holy Majesty when I rescued him last year, and left a good impression of "good skills" in the Holy Majesty's mind, so the Holy Majesty thought of taking me with him. Bar.

As long as he has the opportunity to perform in front of the saint, Pei Xiaoran will naturally perform well and strive to earn real power as soon as possible.

Although he had a bad nose at his third brother's place, he finally made good progress here. Pei Xiaoran felt a little comforted in his heart. After washing up, he went out with Han Chan and brought Zhang Zeqing and Xiaorou to the camp. rush to.

When night fell, Pei Xiaoran rushed back exhausted. When he arrived at the door of the house, he didn't even get out of the carriage. He only asked Zhang Zeqing and Xiaorou to go back to the yard to rest, and let the groom continue to rush towards Zuixiaolou.

Arriving at Zuixiao Tower, just as Pei Xiaoran got off the carriage, he saw a slim girl standing at the gate of Zuixiao Tower. Although she was covered with a veil, Pei Xiaoran recognized her at a glance, and hurried up to greet her, saying:

"Sorry, I'm late."

Zhao Zixuan shook her head lightly, and said softly:
"I just arrived too, it's cold outside, let's go in and talk."

Looking at Pei Xiaoran's attire again, Zhao Zixuan couldn't help but chuckled lightly, and said:
"Fortunately, I didn't just let my girl wait here, otherwise I might not be able to recognize you."

Due to the rush, Pei Xiaoran didn't even have time to change his clothes, he was still dressed like a little boy.

Pei Xiaoran scratched his head embarrassingly, just about to grab the other party's sleeves to act coquettishly, but then thought that the two of them might not even be friends in the future, so he could only endure it again, barely holding up a smile, road:
"I made my sister laugh."

"Where, you look so cute."

Zhao Zixuan raised her hand and gently touched her head, then took her little hand, and walked into Zuixiaolou with her.

After entering the private room, before Pei Xiaoran could speak, Zhao Zixuan had already asked her girl to wait outside the door.

Pei Xiaoran looked at Han Chan, Han Chan understood, and followed her out, and closed the door tightly.

"I don't know what sister Xiaoran wants to say to me?"

Zhao Zixuan led Pei Xiaoran to sit down at the table, lifted the teapot on the table and was about to pour a cup of hot tea for Pei Xiaoran, but saw the little man slipped off the stool again, bent his knees, and knelt down straight to her go down.

Zhao Zixuan was taken aback, quickly put down the teapot and went to help her, saying in surprise:
"Sister Xiaoran, what are you doing? Get up!"

However, Pei Xiaoran grabbed Zhao Zixuan's hands with his backhand and wanted to help him up, raised his face and looked straight at her, and said in a deep voice:
"Sister Zixuan, I did something sorry to you, and I want to apologize to you."

However, Zhao Zixuan didn't care what the other party did to apologize to her, but said anxiously:

"It's cold on the ground, let's talk about something when we wake up, okay?"

Pei Xiaoran shook his head firmly, and said:

"This is what I should kneel down. Sister Zixuan doesn't have to feel unbearable. If I hadn't been matching up my sister and my third brother, my sister...now would not know my third brother, let alone look at my third brother. Brother... marry someone else."
