Chapter 188 I even scolded myself when I became so ruthless
Pei Yi was very astonished, and said embarrassingly: "My second brother may not stay in Linhe County for so long..."
Huo Yuan was silent for a while, and said reluctantly: "Even without your second brother's escort, it would be the same for me to go back to Beijing with you. The guards around you are very powerful."
Pei Yi couldn't help but look at the man in front of her a few more times.
Honestly speaking, she seriously doubts that the dog tyrant has his eye on Seven Kills—after all, the dog tyrant in the original book likes to recruit martial arts wizards from all over the world.
What's more, Huo Yuan said earlier that he wanted to poach Qisha. There is a saying that even a joke is three points true, and she doesn't believe that Huo Yuan really didn't think about it.
"By the way..." Huo Yuan's cheeks turned red suddenly, and he slowly took out a long and narrow brocade box from his wide sleeves and handed it out, feeling a little uncomfortable, "This wolf hair is for you. How can you say it now? People who work for me, don't be so shabby. Look at the pens, inks, papers and inkstones you use now, they look like something."
Pei Yi was a little surprised and touched when she received the gift.
As a result, after hearing this, she was suddenly in a bad mood, and she didn't even want to bring this pen.
She took back the hand that was about to reach out to pick up the brocade box, and said with a sly smile: "Don't bother Your Highness. The pens, inks, papers and inkstones are just tools, and the important thing is that the people who use them have real talents. What's more, These tools are quite comfortable for me to use, and I don’t think there’s anything that’s out of the question.”
Huo Yuan knew that what he just said was wrong.
But he couldn't bear to apologize and coax others, so he stuffed the brocade box into Pei Yi's hand with a little annoyance, and said fiercely: "I accept what I give you. On the day of the scientific examination, you have to use this kind of pen. If you use other shoddy wolf hair, it is estimated that the writing will be like a dog crawling!"
These words sound a bit threatening.
Pei Yi was furious, and was about to ask: I don’t need the broken pen you gave me, so what?
As a result, Huo Yuan turned around and ran away.
Oh, no, he was holding two walking sticks, like a rabbit, he jumped and left in a hurry.
"Crazy..." Pei Yi cursed depressingly, threw the brocade box on the desk, and didn't even bother to take a look.
Still reading the book for a while, Pei Yi glanced at the brocade box on the desk again.
After thinking for a while, she opened it impatiently and took a look.
As a result, her eyes lit up all of a sudden.
This is the finest Zihao, and the barrel is more refined and moist than ordinary Langhao.
Pei Yi couldn't help but picked up the pen holder and tapped lightly on the inkstone.
The sound is crisp and pleasant, which is the collision texture that only the finest jade can have.
The tip of the pen is also very good, soft and hard.
Pei Yi immediately couldn't help writing a word with ink.
The turning point is very smooth, there is no fork or flatness at all.
"It's really good..."
Pei Yi couldn't put it down, she turned the Zihao in her hand, and the corners of her lips couldn't help being stained with a smile.
Well, although the dog tyrant has a bad mouth, he has a good eye.
This is indeed a good pen.
Feeling happy, Pei Yi suddenly pressed down on her stomach.
Hey, I'm a little hungry.
Look at the hourglass, it is now 3:30, which is about 6:40 p.m.
what happened?
Usually at this time, the maids have already informed her to have dinner.
Pei Yi got up and left the study room, and said to Mitsubishi, the current personal servant: "Go and get the food from the kitchen."
Mitsubishi has always been clever. When Pei Yi mentioned that he wanted to eat spicy crayfish, he took the initiative to ask the kitchen if he could make it.
Now he is very clear about what happened in the kitchen, so he deliberately reminded: "Master, the kitchen has always been punctual. Today, the dishes are not served on time. I'm afraid something went wrong. Why don't you go over and see in person ?”
Pei Yi didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but now that Mitsubishi mentioned it, she felt that it was a bit unusual.
Furthermore, a place like the kitchen is related to food safety, so don't be careless.
Pei Yi's expression sank, and she immediately diverted to the kitchen.
"Third Master." The servants in the kitchen all saluted when they saw her.
Pei Yi gestured for everyone to excuse herself, and entered the kitchen without saying a word.
The kitchen is empty now, only one person is busy there.
The man's back is tall and straight, and his figure is burly, but the movement of throwing the spoon has a murderous air in him.
Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, then shouted in astonishment: "Second brother?"
Pei Xuanting turned his head and glanced at her, then turned back to continue cooking, and said with a smile, "Why did you come here? The Master said: A gentleman stays away from the kitchen."
Pei Yi's heart was full.
She walked over quickly, watching the steaming smoke from the pot, and the sound of oil bursting in her ears.
"Second brother, do you know how to cook?" Pei Yi asked in astonishment and emotion.
"Yes." Pei Xuanting poured a stir-fried dish into a plate, and smiled nonchalantly, "When I was kicked out of the house by my father, I planned to go to the west of the city to open a small shop if I really couldn't get along anymore. Restaurants—everyone passing by must come in to eat, or I won’t let them go.”
Pei Yi was amused, and teased: "Are you opening a restaurant or collecting protection money?"
"Of course - you can have your cake and eat it too." Pei Xuanting put the stir-fried dishes into the tray one by one, then lifted the lid of the pot and brought out a plate of rice in bamboo tubes.
Pei Yi was astonished, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are too capable!"
Pei Xuan shook his head embarrassingly, and joked: "My Fanyin is going to take a scientific examination, so I, as an older brother, naturally have to take care of her food and daily life. I have decided, I will return to Beijing after your scientific examination is over. As for As for the third prince, if he is willing to wait, I can **** him. If he is in a hurry to leave, I will ask my personal guard to **** him."
Pei Yi really didn't expect that the second brother would take everything he said to heart.
She stood aside and watched her second brother busy, and couldn't hide her emotion: "Second brother, if you weren't my own brother, I would have wanted to marry you."
Pei Xuan glanced at her, pretending to be disgusted, and said: "Hey, don't say such weird things—although your second brother and I are indeed romantic, people who miss me have all gone from Dayan to Turkic."
Pei Yi smiled and said, "Shameless."
But in the next moment, she still said with emotion: "In the future, if only I can marry someone as good as the second brother."
Pei Xuanting heard her sister mention the word "marry" twice in succession, and her beautiful sword eyebrows frowned immediately.
He said seriously: "Why marry? Men don't have a good thing."
Pei Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are so cruel that you even scold yourself."
"I speak from the bottom of my heart." Pei Xuanting walked out of the kitchen with a tray full of dishes, and said earnestly, "Men are really bad."
