Meng Fan also laughed: "You are young, but you are so arrogant. Do you know who I am?"
The man in front of him was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with a handsome appearance. Perhaps because he has been with the fire for many years, his face is bronze and his eyes are a bit arrogant.
Bao Ning thought that this might be a common problem of some successful men in their careers, always looking down on others.
She asked, "Who are you?"
Meng Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know Lian Hengxuan in the capital? It is the largest gold shop in this dynasty. Most of the hairpins and jewelry worn by the empresses in the palace are made by my shop, and I draw the pictures and designs. I started dealing with gold when I was six years old, and became an apprentice at the age of fifteen. Now I have been in this business for nineteen years. In the whole Zhou Dynasty, if you can find someone stronger than me, I will call you my grandmother."
Baoning smiled and shook her head: "I'm afraid you can't find anyone."
Meng Fan raised his eyebrows.
Pei Yuan couldn't sit still. He felt that he was sick. Why did he really have to compete with Baoning about this?
She was unhappy and had a bad temper last night, so let her do it. It will be fine after the temper tantrum. He really brought her here to make a tiger talisman. He knew it was impossible, but he made her suffer in front of outsiders.
Pei Yuan stood up, took Bao Ning's wrist and walked out, whispering: "Let's not do this anymore, let's go home. I'll take you to buy some delicious food."
Baoning didn't move, but asked Pei Yuan: "What is this tiger talisman used for?"
Meng Fan laughed: "You are really ignorant women. This thing is used to lead troops! The tiger talisman was originally one piece, and it was cut into two with a knife. One half is in the hands of the emperor and the other half is in the hands of the generals. If there is an enemy, the two tiger talismans can be combined into one, and tens of thousands of troops can be mobilized."
He continued: "But in order to prevent counterfeiting, the manufacture of tiger talismans has always been mysterious. Its raw pulp is a mixture of gold and bronze. If the proportion is slightly adjusted, the quality will be very different. Coupled with the runes on it and deliberate wear and tear, each tiger talisman is unique. Once lost, it is difficult to make the original tiger talisman again. "
Meng Fan frowned: "I have used up all my life's learning, but after all, counterfeits cannot be made true. "
The room was silent for a moment, and Baoning suddenly spoke: "So..."
Baoning asked: "Since each piece is unique, naturally no one will remember what the tiger talisman looks like before it is lost. Why do we have to make another half to match it?"
Meng Fan was stunned.
Pei Yuan was also stunned and looked at her.
Baoning said: "Hide the half given by the emperor, and we can just make a new pair. It will be done in two days. "
After she finished speaking, Meng Fan showed an expression of disbelief.
Pei Yuan suddenly came to his senses, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Bao Ning with burning eyes.
All along, all they thought about was to forge a tiger talisman that was the same as the original half. It was like a vicious circle, and they were locked in it, trying all kinds of methods. But they didn't expect that if they jumped out of this circle, things would become so easy.
Everyone worked hard in anxiety for more than half a month, and at the last moment, only Bao Ning jumped out, and she only took the time of blinking her eyelids.
Bao Ning was still being held by Pei Yuan's wrist. She hesitated and asked, "Have you never thought of such a simple method? "
Pei Yuan looked at Meng Fan and saw that his face was flushed. He didn't look as proud as before, but looked very embarrassed, and suddenly smiled.
He took a step forward, punched Meng Fan's shoulder hard with his fist, and said coldly: "Call someone quickly."
Meng Fan's voice was hoarse: "What to call?"
Pei Yuan said nothing.
Meng Fan suddenly understood that Pei Yuan was referring to the time when he said arrogantly that if he could find someone stronger than him, he would call Bao Ning "grandmother".
Meng Fan was only a finger shorter than Pei Yuan, and stood there as tall as a mountain. Bao Ning looked up at him.
"Grandmother..." Meng Fan gritted his teeth, very reluctantly, and after a long while he uttered, "Grandmother, I was wrong! "
Baoning smiled, and felt that the anger she had felt at Pei Yuan last night had dissipated a lot, and she felt happy.
Pei Yuan looked at her with gentle eyes, and stretched out his fingers to touch her cheek. Baoning noticed it and dodged.
She threatened in a low voice: "I'll settle the score with you when I get home. "
Pei Yuan was silent.
...
Baoning stayed in the shop here until the evening. Meng Fan had superb craftsmanship and she would not be needed at all in the later stage. Baoning was worried about the nest of creatures in her house, so she went home after dark.
Pei Yuan followed her closely.
Baoning had never been angry with him for such a long time. Pei Yuan was still calm at the beginning, but today Baoning still refused to say a word to him, and Pei Yuan was really panicked.
The carriage was parked outside. Baoning held the crossbeam with her hands and wanted to go up. She was tired after a day, and her arms were a little soft. She almost lost her grip and stumbled.
Pei Yuan held her waist from behind: "Slow down."
Baoning twisted and struggled: "Don't touch me."
"You can't go up by yourself." Pei Yuan coaxed her, "I'll hold you. "
Baoning muttered, "No need, I got on the carriage by myself in the past."
Pei Yuan didn't say anything. After a while, he hummed softly, "Blame me, I didn't care enough about you."
Baoning was a little surprised. What she said had nothing to do with Pei Yuan. She wanted to say that when she was in the Duke's Mansion, she also got on the carriage by herself.
Pei Yuan now seemed to be a little paranoid. No matter what she said, he would think about it in terms of reflection, and was a bit deliberately trying to please her.
Baoning pursed his lips and smiled. He thought it was good. Men really shouldn't get used to it too much.
"Then I won't hug you anymore." Pei Yuan squatted down, pulled her ankle and stepped on his shoulder, "You use me as a stepping stone, see if this works? "
Baoning looked down at him, a strange feeling flashed through her mind.
She hardened her heart, stepped on the carriage, and sat down steadily. Pei Yuan soon got in and sat next to her.
The car was pitch dark, Baoning leaned against the corner of the wall, closed her eyes and rested. She could hear Pei Yuan's breathing, he must have been staring at her.
Baoning decided to teach Pei Yuan a lesson.
"Ningning." Pei Yuan spoke, calling her softly with a hint of tentativeness, and stretched out his hand to hold her neck, "Don't lean there, it's tiring, lean on me."
Baoning opened her eyes. Pei Yuan's hand stopped in mid-air.
He retracted it and touched his nose.
After a while, he felt that it was unlike him to be so timid. How could he not even hug his woman? Pei Yuan made up his mind, walked over with a shameless face, and pulled Baoning into his arms.
Baoning tilted her head and bit his shoulder hard. Pei Yuan endured it and did not let go. Baoning
bit hard. She was angry that Pei Yuan always thought about himself and did not consider her opinion. This man had a hard and stubborn temper, like a stinking stone. Baoning endured him for a long time, and finally got the chance to teach him a lesson.
She did not let go. The tip of her canine teeth was imprinted into Pei Yuan's flesh. She tasted the faint smell of blood before she raised her head.
"Does it hurt?"
Pei Yuan looked forward expressionlessly, one hand still pressing the back of her head, and said lightly: "It doesn't hurt."
Baoning gritted her teeth, and the pain she felt for him in her heart also dissipated. She wanted to bite again, but Pei Yuan pinched her chin.
"You are the first person in the world who dares to bite me."
Baoning asked: "Then what?"
Pei Yuan looked into her eyes, which were clear and bright, and her pupils reflected his small shadow.
Pei Yuan softened and said: "Forget it."
He supported Baoning's knees and moved her from his left to his right, and leaned over with his shoulder: "If you like, bite the other side." Baoning
was speechless.
Pei Yuan, as a husband, has too many shortcomings. He is not considerate enough, has a bad temper, and is rarely warm and considerate. Once he gets angry, he scolds you like he is scolding his soldiers.
But his advantages are also obvious. In his enclosed territory, you can do whatever you want. He will bow his head, but only in action, he is as stubborn as a duck, stubbornly guarding his dignity as a man.
Baoning just wants to hear a few soft words that girls like to hear.
Pei Yuan looked at her and saw Bao Ning hanging her head without saying a word, more panicked than when she bit him just now: "Don't you want to bite my shoulder?"
He leaned his face forward, rarely taking the initiative to do such a somewhat embarrassing action for him: "Why don't you bite somewhere else."
Pei Yuan kissed the corner of her lips: "It's soft here, it won't waste your strength."
Bao Ning pushed his face away and said shyly: "Don't you think it's shameful to get close to me now? Didn't you deliberately keep a distance from me in the study yesterday?"
"You have punished me, and you have been cold to me for such a long time. It hurts my heart." Pei Yuan rubbed her face, shamelessly, like a disgusting dog.
"I'm just afraid that you won't learn your lesson." Bao Ning said with a stern face.
"I've grown up, and I won't do it again." Pei Yuan said, "Give me another chance."
Baoning was a small ball, and Pei Yuan rubbed her in his arms. He was strong and could hold her down with one hand. He tried to coax her, and kept kissing her cheeks, from her chin up, along the bridge of her nose to her eyelids. His lips were rough, and Baoning's skin was tender. It hurt when she was scratched, but she couldn't push him away. In desperation, she reached out to his waist to scratch
it. Pei Yuan really paused and stopped. Baoning's face was already covered with his saliva. She quickly jumped off him and wiped her face with her sleeve.
"You are so annoying."
"I'm annoying again." Pei Yuan repeated her words. He was a little anxious, but more of a loss.
Facing Bao Ning, he had no choice but to coax her carefully: "Then what should I do?"
After saying that, he felt that it was too much of a loss of manliness. Pei Yuan's face darkened and he tried to achieve his goal through intimidation. His tone was more serious: "Be obedient and stop making trouble."
Bao Ning's eyes widened: "You said you had a long memory. Did you forget the appointment in the morning?"
Pei Yuan shut up.
Bao Ning imitated Pei Yuan's scolding and scolded: "Put away your annoying behavior. From now on, I am the biggest one in this family. You have to listen to me, unconditionally!"
Pei Yuan was shocked.
The carriage stopped. The driver heard what was going on inside. He knew Pei Yuan's temper and didn't dare to let Pei Yuan know that he had made a fool of himself. He didn't dare to open the door and only knocked: "Fourth Prince, Princess, we're here."
Bao Ning pointed at the door and said to Pei Yuan: "Go open the door quickly and help me back to the house. Then go to the kitchen to cook. I'm hungry, Ah Huang is hungry too, and Xiao Yang is hungry too. I want vegetarian buns and crystal shrimp dumplings, Ah Huang wants chicken liver porridge, and Xiao Yang wants to drink hot water. Milk with bone meal. Oh, and there are also small leeches in the porcelain jar, they want to eat snails. I want to eat a hundred melon seeds before going to bed, you peel them, and I also need to rinse my mouth, wash my face, and wash my feet. The footbath water must contain rose petals and jasmine essential oil. Well, making the bed is also your job. Remember to mop the floor before going to bed. I don’t like others to enter my room, so I want you to mop it. "
Pei Yuan's hands were on his knees, and he had clenched them into fists.
Bao Ning's eyes narrowed: "Why don't you go!"
