Chapter 193 Don't Cry
Pei Liu murmured curiously, "Master, why are you so anxious? It's like you're going to see your sweetheart."
Pei Jiu glanced at the people around him. Sixth brother was a simple-minded person. If it weren't for his high fighting ability, he would not have been given the chance to accompany the master. You know, several brothers wanted to follow the master to Qizhou County!
Moreover, his master had previously arranged for him to do something, and he knew at first glance that it was a means to please girls.
He said in a teasing voice, "Perhaps it's true. Those sausages were made by Madam."
Pei Liuyi slapped his forehead and remembered this. Thinking of the taste of the sausage, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
One day, when the master was having dinner, they smelled the aroma of the sausage when they were reporting something. Several secret guards saw that the food in the master's bowl was completely gone, as if he had never eaten anything good.
Pei Yian gave most of the sausages to the secret guards. That night, everyone fought for the sausages, and Pei Liu grabbed a lot of them. He still remembers the deliciousness of the sausage rice.
Later he found out that these sausages were made by his wife and specially prepared for the master. So, could he bring back a lot of sausages this time?
Pei Yian rode his horse all the way to North Street. It was already the evening of New Year's Eve and there were not many pedestrians on the road. But when he reached the residential buildings on North Street, Pei Yian had to dismount and walk because horses were not allowed there.
He held the horse in his hand, feeling a little nervous, yet also a little excited about seeing his sweetheart soon. With his thoughts in a mess, he walked to the vicinity of his home.
She saw Sui Niang and Grandma Zhao seemed to be talking about something, and the other party did not see her. When she was about to turn around and close the door, Pei Yian stopped them.
Without thinking, the word "Sui Sui" came out of my mouth.
Ji Zhisui stood where he was, watching the man not far away walking towards him, step by step.
The person in front of me is real, not the phantom in my dreams that disappeared after I woke up.
Until Pei Yian stood in front of her, she didn't know why, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Brother An, you have lost weight."
Pei Yian had indeed lost a lot of weight. He was busy with border affairs and had to attack barbarians. In addition, he had been exhausted these days and had to travel day and night, so he naturally couldn't eat or sleep well.
Pei Yian stretched out his hand, placed his big palm on Ji Zhisui's face, and gently wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from his eyes.
He seemed to have made Sui Niang cry again. He actually wanted to hug the person in front of him, but because there were outsiders around, he forcibly suppressed the impulse.
"Don't cry, I'll come back and stay up with you until the New Year's Eve."
The two looked into each other's eyes, filled with a lingering affection. There was a unique atmosphere between them that no one could disturb.
When Grandma Zhao saw the couple getting together, she consciously decided not to disturb them and try to make her presence felt. She stood there silently and returned to her home.
The two of them didn't stand outside for long. After Ji Zhisui came to his senses, he thought of the Pei family members in the house, and quickly pushed Pei Yian away and stepped aside.
"Brother An, please come in quickly. Grandma and mother have been waiting for a long time." Ji Zhisui did not dare to turn his head to look in the direction of the Pei family. He just held the red dumpling in his hand and planned to go to the kitchen.
Pei Yian knew that the other party was shy, so he didn't continue to tease him and led the horse back home.
The two children who were being held captive by Madam Pei and Second Sister-in-law Pei also ran to Pei Yian's side, each hugging one of his thighs, "Third brother, why did you come back just now?! We all missed you!"
"Ang'er, come back, wash up and come for dinner. We've been waiting for you." Listening carefully, Mrs. Pei's words were full of joy. It was good that she could come safely!
Only then did everyone in the Pei family show happy and joyful smiles on their faces, and the whole family had a reunion dinner together.
There is a custom of staying up all night on New Year's Eve, but the Pei family was very considerate and did not force Pei Yian and Ji Zhisui to stay.
The two haven't seen each other for several months, so it's certain they'll catch up.
In the horses’ bags were gifts that Pei Yian had prepared for everyone, all of which were specialties from the border region.
Ji Zhisui received an agate bracelet, which was finely crafted and made his skin look brighter when worn.
Pei Yian was holding the agate bracelet and putting it on her hand with great concentration, looking so serious, as if he was treating a treasure.
The two went out for a walk. Although they were silent, they both cherished the time they spent together.
It was still a bit cold in Qizhou County in winter. After strolling outside for a while, Ji Zhisui couldn't help but sniff.
Pei Yian noticed this and took off his cloak and covered her with it. He was very tall and the clothes he was wearing were not short, so the cloak easily wrapped Ji Zhisui tightly.
The man's warm body temperature and cool fragrance on the cloak made Ji Zhisui a little confused.
After realizing what was happening, Ji Zhisui wanted to return the cloak to the person next to him, fearing that the other person would catch a cold.
Pei Yian stretched out his hand to stop her action, and at the same time, he naturally took Ji Zhisui's hand, not intending to let go.
"I'm not cold, so Sui Sui will cover you up!" The cold in Qizhou is nothing compared to the border areas. He has long been accustomed to it. This cloak was originally prepared for Sui Niang.
Ji Zhisui also noticed that their hands were holding together, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Master, hello, Madam!"
Ji Zhisui looked towards the source of the sound and saw a few strangers. They looked at his and Pei Yian's clasped hands with smiles in their eyes.
Ji Zhisui pulled his hand back first, but did not move it.
Pei Yian looked coldly at the secret guards in front of him. The secret guards knew that they were in trouble, so they pushed and shoved, and finally pushed Pei Liu to the front.
Pei Liu cursed these heartless people inwardly and explained to Ji Zhisui, "We just returned from the frontier with our master. Madam, the sausages you made are delicious, and we all love them!"
Ji Zhisui looked at the men in black in front of him and roughly understood their identities. They were probably one of the Pei family's secret guards.
Ji Zhisui was naturally delighted by the diners' fondness for the food. She said cheerfully, "Since you like it, I'll make more for you. By the way, are you staying at the inn now? Come to my house for dinner tomorrow!"
Pei Liu wanted to agree immediately. Since his wife could make such delicious food as sausage, her cooking skills must be good. However, he still knew his limits. His eyes fell on his master, wanting to know his opinion.
Seeing that their master had no objections, Pei Liu and the secret guards behind him agreed without hesitation.
Afterwards, the few people did not dare to stay in front of the two men and ran away quickly.
They still have a mission to accomplish! This is no time to slack off.
