In the evening, when Pei Xing came back, the first thing he saw was the jewelry box on the bookcase. The box was pure black. At first glance, it was a man's jewelry box. Pei Xing couldn't help but move.
Chapter 51 Woman
Zhong Li was lying on the bed looking at the ledger at the moment. She went to ten shops today, and her legs were sore, so she got up early, and it was not until the light was blocked that she realized that Pei Xing was here.
In the past two days, he came back quite early. When Zhong Li asked the maid to prepare water, Pei Xing's eyes seemed to fall on the jewelry box.
When he was bathing, she read the ledger for a while. These ledger books were sent by Xiao Fuzi and others. After returning to the house in the afternoon, Zhong Li was reading it. Because she was focusing on the ledger, she had long forgotten Yupei's thing.
After Pei Xing finished bathing, she yawned, "Isn't the third uncle busy for the past two days? Why did you come back so early?"
In a few days, the emperor will go to the Temple of Heaven to worship. It stands to reason that he should be very busy. Zhong Li naturally doesn't know that, because he is in charge of patrolling and arresting and in charge of the emperor's honor guard, the emperor has not handed him any cases recently.
Pei Xing tugged a strand of her hair, "Would you like to come back early?"
Zhong Li didn't dare to say that it was bad, and said with a smile, "The third uncle can rest a little longer."
The little girl's fair face was slightly raised, and when she bent her lips, a ripple appeared in her eyes, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, clean and bright.
Rao is that Pei Xing has always been cold-hearted, and he thinks her smile is very attractive.
He pinched her little face.
Seeing that she didn't mention the jewelry for a long time, an inexplicable irritability arose in his heart, and several random thoughts appeared for no reason, and even the figures of Li Mingran and Lu Yanrui flashed in his mind.
He held back and didn't say anything. After he got on the bed, he bit the girl's lips, biting after a long time. When Zhong Li frowned in pain, he relaxed a little.
Zhong Li thought that he had encountered something unsatisfactory outside, but he felt that it was not easy for him. When Zhong Li was about to ask him a question or two, he heard his slightly cold voice, "Did you go shopping today?"
After all, he didn't hold his breath and took the initiative to bring the topic to accessories.
Zhong Li nodded obediently, and then remembered that she bought him a jade pendant. Her brows and eyes curled up, and the pear vortex on her right cheek was full of pear eddies, like a scorching spring sun, bright and dazzling.
In front of him, she either smiled cautiously, or smiled quietly, or it was the first time she smiled so sincerely, like a child who had found a treasure, her eyebrows were quite moving, "I bought a jade pendant for the third uncle and Jade wrench, Third Uncle, let's see if you like it or not?"
Pei Xing's heartbeat couldn't help but beat faster, and his heart seemed to be pinched lightly.
He can't even count the gifts he has received. Naturally, he has also received a lot of jade pendants and fingers. He never takes a second glance, but today his heart is inexplicably itchy, as if the little milk cat sneaked up to him when he was a child. Step on the heart.
Pei Xing opened the box and took a look. The two jade pendants and two jade wrench fingers were all in good condition, with plenty of water and a gentle start. "Not bad."
In fact, he didn't like these. The jade wrench he usually wears is usually only worn when he needs to contact the informant, but now he wears the new one bought by Zhong Li.
Zhong Li bought a total of two jade wrench fingers, one was high-quality Hetian jade, and the other was white suet jade. , I thought that white suet and white jade did not match his temperament, but who would have expected him to look good after wearing it.
She curved her lips, "It's pretty."
Pei Xing's eyes were deep, and his eyes fell on her. He couldn't hold back and kissed her delicate lips, "It's really beautiful."
Zhong Li always felt that he meant something, her eyelashes trembled, she couldn't help lowering her eyes, the next moment, he squeezed her chin and deepened the kiss.
Before she knew it, the day came when Gu Zhiya would pay for the money. Zhong Li specially said that as long as the money was there, Gu Zhiya sold several shops for this purpose, and even borrowed a few thousand taels from a former friend, so that she could barely make up the 20,000 yuan. two.
She had never been defeated like this before. When she walked in the mansion, she felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of the maids looking at her. The fact that Zhong Li took Cheng'er to move out naturally caused a discussion among the maids, and some people even thought that Zhong Li She and Gu Lin forced her to move out.
Gu Zhiya was naturally annoyed. For the past three days, all the maids around her did not dare to come out, lest one accidentally annoy her.
Although Gu Zhiya had saved enough money to let her hand it in like this, of course she was not reconciled. After thinking about it, she asked the maid to quietly find a little beggar and go to Zhongfu.
In the Zhong Mansion, Fang's maid, Xiao Ya, just came out of the mansion. She was about to go shopping. Unexpectedly, just walking out the door, a little boy suddenly appeared next to the stone lion. The little boy was only five or six years old. With a note in hand, Baba came up to her.
Xiaoya was taken aback by him, and scolded: "Where is the little beggar? Get away!"
Xiao Qi'er was a little scared, so he shrank his head to hide, remembering that he could get a few biscuits after the work was done, and he quickly said: "There is important news about Zhong Li here, and a noble asked me to hand it over to Mrs. Fang."
After he finished speaking, he shoved the note to Xiaoya, and then ran away.
Xiaoya's heart jumped, and she subconsciously clenched the note in her hand. She couldn't read, and she was afraid that there would be some big news, so she thought about it and went back to the house.
The sun is just right today. Mrs. Fang is sitting by the window, embroidering clothes for her little grandson. She has only a daughter under her knees, and it is naturally painful. Now that her daughter is finally pregnant, Mrs. Fang plans to make some clothes for the unborn baby. clothes.
Fang's clothes had just been embroidered a few stitches when he saw Xiaoya running back again. Fang's hands didn't stop and asked, "Didn't you just leave? Why did you come back? Lost again?"
Xiaoya shook her head and said quickly: "The slave girl just left the house when she met a little beggar and said that there is important news about the young lady."
Xiaoya said and handed the note to Mrs Fang.
Mr. Fang picked it up and looked at it. On the note, there was a line of words written crookedly, as if written in left hand: Zhong Li was assassinated, and has moved from Zhenbei Hou's residence to Lin'an Street, Zhenbei Hou has put his name on the value of a few Wanliang's shop has been transferred to the names of the two siblings.
