Chapter 13 - Alert that person
Qiuyi picked up the broken hair in her ears, instead of putting Donglai’s vigilance in her eyes, she was relieved. She lifted the food box in her hand, and she was absent-minded: “Uncle ordered me to send a Pastry for the second lord. “
The alertness in Donglai’s eyes was not so obvious, but the straight back could still tell that he was still on alert, “Why do you want to come to the second young lady’s yard to give the cake to the second lord?”
Qiuyi’s cheeks flashed a blush. She had been helping Hu Xiayun observe Pei Cheng secretly the other day, so she only looked at the probe with conditioned reflex when she passed the courtyard.
Donglai reached out and said, “Give me something, I’ll send it to the second lord.”
Qiuyi turned sideways and put the food box behind him, so that Donglai would not touch it. “The uncle said, I have to send this pastry to my second master.”
Donglai turned around and could not hear any ups and downs in his voice, saying, “Come with me.”
Qiuyi swallowed and quickly followed.
The Pei Cheng in the study is still looking at Jiang Rongzhi. The two are very close. The atmosphere has been stiff from the beginning, and now there is nothing but warm ignorance.
Pei Cheng is very uncomfortable with the two people’s present state.
As I said before, Jiang Rongzhi’s body is always erratic, and the kind of atmosphere that always looks out of place with the world will make people close to him feel uncomfortable.
Pei Cheng is no exception. However, he did not show his rejection of Jiang Rongzhi so clearly. He just opened his head slightly, refusing to stare at Jiang Rongzhi.
I don’t know why, Pei Cheng always has the illusion that once he confronts Jiang Rongzhi, everything he thinks in his heart will be seen through by the other party.
“Buckle.”
A knock on the door from outside the study broke the awkward status quo in the room, and Pei Cheng said, “Who?”
There was a knock on the door outside the house, and the east said: “Second Lord, Grandpa ordered some cakes.”
Jiang Rinzhi doesn’t like sweets, so he has never touched sweets. This is known to the entire Jiang family, so Uncle Jiang has never specially ordered someone to send pastries to the East Courtyard.
but……
Jiang Rongzhi glanced at Pei Cheng’s profile without trace, and did not know whether the big brother’s cake was given to him or to this person.
Pei Cheng didn’t know that, in the short time of this question and answer, the man standing beside him had already guessed all the possibilities.
The door of the house was pushed open, and Qiuyi walked in carefully holding the food box. She put the food box on the table and carefully greeted him, saying, “Good second lord, good second young lady.”
Pei Cheng raised his feet, walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and found that the tea was cold and frowned, but said nothing.
Jiang Rongzhi withdrew his eyes and no longer focused on Pei Cheng.
Pei Cheng opened the lid of the food container, and a faint fragrance came out. This was his favorite taste.
But Pei Cheng just glanced at it, didn’t eat it, and closed the box smoothly.
Uncle Jiang sent a box of pastries to Dongyuan, nominally for Jiang Rongzhi, but this sweet cake didn’t suit Jiang Rongzhi’s taste, but Pei Cheng’s taste.
The meaning of this has to be thought-provoking.
Qiuyi hesitated for a while, and then said, “Second Lord, there is one more thing with the slaves …”
Jiang Rinzhi said: “Say.”
Qiuyi heard the impatience in Jiang Rin ’s words and swallowed. She was worried that Jiang Rongzhi would send her anger on her body, so she said quickly: “Uncle hosted a banquet in Beiyuan tonight, and the old lady Will arrive. “
“Go on.” Jiang Rongzhi did not respond.
Qiu Yi didn’t get a clear answer, she didn’t dare to leave like this, but she didn’t dare to ask Jiang Rongzhi directly, she could only turn around and said: “Tonight’s dinner, the old lady’s house will come, so the old lady I hope that Mrs. Er Shao will pass along with the words that Master Master has passed. “Pei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled like non-smilingly:” How can the old lady’s words let you pass on? “
This sentence didn’t break anything face to face, but Qiu Yi was shocked with a cold sweat. This Pei Cheng’s speech was really relentless.
“Go out.”
Jiang Rongzhi froze his face, not knowing who displeased him.
Qiu Yima left without stopping, for fear of being punished by Jiang Rin.
Pei Cheng drank another cup of herbal tea. After the tea was cooled, there was always an unspeakable bitter taste, which made Pei Cheng a little unhappy, but poured another cup that he could not control.
After drinking the third cup of herbal tea in a row, Pei Cheng weighed and said, “Second Lord, do I need to take my words to go to the banquet at Beiyuan tonight.”
Jiang Rongzhi said: “Since the old lady has spoken, don’t refute her meaning.”
The implication is that they are going.
Pei Cheng was inexplicably relieved, “Second Lord, I’ll go back first.”
Jiang Rongzhi didn’t say anything, but when Pei Cheng had just returned to his yard and hadn’t had time to raise his foot to the threshold, he heard a rapid footstep behind him, and his footsteps swelled.
Donglai, holding the food box just now, with sweat on his forehead, stood in front of Pei Cheng, “Mrs. Two Young.”
Pei Cheng opened his body and motioned Donglai to put the food box on the table.
Donglai put the food box on the table with ease, and then took out a packet of tea leaves, said: “This is Yan tea. The second man saw that the second young lady loves to drink, and specially ordered the small one to be sent to the second young lady.”
Pei Cheng said, “What did the second lord say?”
East said: “The second lord reminds you to arrive at Beiyuan on time tonight.”
Pei Cheng said: “Go back and tell Erye, I know.”
Donglai nodded and saw that Pei Cheng had nothing more to ask, before leaving.
