Chapter 17: Meeting friends. Pei Ji did not forget to make harsh remarks.
Inside Songhexuan.
Song Yu and Yan Qi were still sitting quietly sipping tea. There were snacks on the table. The previous food on the table had been removed, and they were just waiting for Pei Ji to come and serve new dishes.
"Will he really bring the person to see us?" Yan Qi took a sip of tea with a skeptical look.
They have been friends since childhood, so they naturally know what kind of person Pei Ji is. He is as protective as a wild beast, and he will never show others anything he wants to hide in his nest.
Just looking at his expression just now, you can tell how much he likes the little mute. It is completely different from the disgust he had before.
Although it was only a month, the attitude changed so much that it was like a sea change. I don’t know what’s so special about the little mute of the He family.
Song Yu lowered his eyes and chuckled, his brows softening. "What's the bet?"
Yan Qi instantly became excited when he heard this. He liked Song Gouzi's energy. He looked gentle, but in fact, he would not allow others to disagree with him, otherwise he would deceive you!
But who is he?
General Tianqi Yan!
"Bet! Bet on my little brother!" Yan Qi raised his chin towards him in an especially heroic manner, "I'll bet my little brother on you!"
"...Does Jingchun know this?" Song Yu chuckled. "His intention to cheat is a little too obvious."
Yan Qi curled his lips and clicked his tongue twice, "When you bet with me, it's not about what you want, but what I have!"
Song Yu nodded in agreement. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. His warm eyes squinted in a smile, and in the blink of an eye he had thought of a new bet for himself.
"Speaking of what you have, I remember there is a young soldier under your command. Give it to me." Song Yu said.
"Song Yangguan...you are so shameless!" Yan Qi's mouth was full of dirty words, but he swallowed them back into his stomach!
Although his Yan family has been a family of brave warriors for generations, their military achievements were all earned bit by bit. At this time, he rarely had the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and there were not many people available under his command.
Of course he does have ordinary guards and secret guards, but the number of soldiers under his command is much less than that of Pei Gouzi. This person doesn't go to Pei Gouzi to ask for it, but instead goes to him!
Sinister!
They only take the good ones into their nest!
Song Yu looked innocent, "You own this."
Yan Qi sneered, "Even if he follows you, he's loyal to me. What's the point of you going there?"
"Of course it's useful. Just tell me whether you want to give it or not."
"Here you go!"
Yan Qi naturally had nothing to be reluctant about. He would find a chance to get it back in the future, or he would just rob it away. Anyway, Song Gouzi didn't need him!
Song Yu immediately raised his hand and high-fived him, and the bet between the two was thus settled.
In fact, Yan Qi also had a vague feeling that Pei Gou would come, but he also thought that today was really special, and the little mute must have been wronged in the palace, so he would definitely take him home and coax him well.
The thought turned over a few times, and before he could figure it out, Pei Ji really came with his men.
Yan Qi’s eyes widened.
Song Yu raised his eyebrows at him, a victorious smile on his gentle face.
"Pei dog!" Yan Qi growled through gritted teeth.
"Are you betting on me again?" Pei Ji let out a light click of his tongue. Although there was some impatience in his words, there was a smile in his eyes, which showed that he was used to them doing this.
Song Yu stood up with a smile, "Don't hide it, you should introduce it to us."
Pei Ji's smile deepened upon hearing this, completely exposing the person who was half-hiding beside him. He held the little mute's hand tightly with one hand, and the other hand fell in front of the little mute. He smiled and said, "This is my Zhengjun Hezhi."
"The two are Song Yu and Song Yanguan, Yan Qi and Yan Jiangshu." Pei Ji continued to introduce them, "You have already recognized their brothers and sisters in the palace."
"I've heard a lot about you—"
"Sure well behaved!"
Yan Qi exclaimed loudly, interrupting Song Yu's words.
He pursed his lips and glanced over, and knew that Yan Gouzi did it on purpose!
He Zhiliao shuddered all over, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and then his smile became a little forced.
"It's okay, he just has a loud voice, that's why his father doesn't allow him to go to the battlefield, for fear that he will leak all the secrets once he opens his mouth." Pei Ji said humorously, and was relieved when he saw the little mute laughing again.
The four of them sat down on the chairs arranged in an orderly manner. He Zhiliao's chair was closest to Pei Ji, and the two of them wanted to sit on the same chair.
It is rare to be so close. Just look at Pei Ji's expression and you will know how much he cherishes this little mute.
Pei Ji carefully introduced the dishes at Songhexuan to him. Knowing that he preferred sweet, sour and spicy dishes, he ordered more. Song Yu and the other man ordered more before they resumed their casual conversation.
"There's not enough tea..." Song Yu frowned slightly. Just as he was about to give instructions to the attendants outside, he saw He Zhiliao standing up opposite him. "You want to go?"
He Zhiliao nodded slightly and shook Pei Ji's sleeve.
"Okay, then you take Chunjian with you. If there are any snacks she wants to eat, ask the store to buy them for her." Pei Ji couldn't stand his little actions.
Swinging sleeves or something...
It couldn't be cuter.
He Zhiliao hurried out and took Chunjian away. He was naturally nervous in the private room. Even though that was her husband's best friend, she needed to come out and relax.
Of course, I was more happy than nervous.
The reason for today's meeting is self-evident.
The waiter recognized He Zhi. Even if he didn't recognize him before, he recognized him today when Pei Ji led him by the hand. Seeing him coming down, he hurried to greet him, "Is there anything you need? Just call the waiter. There's no need for you to make a trip!"
"There's not enough tea in the private room. Just go and add some more." Chun Jian spoke first, and then at He Zhiliao's eye signal, he helped him out of the restaurant.
There were many shops next to Songhexuan. He Zhila thought everything was new, so he went into the pastry shop as Pei Ji said.
He was always nervous in front of the enthusiastic waiters, and his fingers twirled unconsciously, but Chunjian always paid attention to him. His hand would point to the pastry that his eyes stayed on for a long time.
Although the shop assistant thought he was strange, it was normal for wealthy people to be precious and taciturn.
Soon, Harumi had three bags of snacks in his hands.
"Master, look!"
Harumi whispered, raising his chin and nodding towards the street not far away.
He Zhiliao followed his gaze and saw his father-in-law Pei Xiao talking to He Hongan. He seemed calm, but he was the most sensitive person and could naturally understand his father-in-law's expression.
He was so impatient that he almost punched his cheap dad.
"Are we going over there?" Harumi asked softly.
After all, we were on the street, and since we had already seen each other, it would have been rude to go up and say hello, but the current situation was indeed a bit special...
He Zhiliao shook his head slightly.
They were just chatting on a busy street. If he rashly went over to start a conversation, he would probably be scolded for not knowing the etiquette. It was better for him to pretend not to see anything.
Besides, he didn't want to meet He Hongan.
After returning to the private room, He Zhiliao gave the delicate pastries wrapped in oil paper to Song Yu and Yan Qi respectively. Although they were not particularly expensive cakes, they were at least a token of his appreciation.
Pei Ji withdrew his light gaze from the window and fell on He Zhiliao, but it seemed as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.
He quickly stepped forward to open the pastry, picked up a piece and handed it to Pei Ji's mouth in a flattering manner. The crumbs of the pastry got on his mouth, and he had no choice but to eat it.
Itchy.
"Don't think that I will forgive you for buying them cakes just because you pretend to be good." Pei Ji chewed and chewed, not forgetting to say something harsh.
【ah. 】
He Zhiliao responded to show that he understood.
Pei Ji, however, cooperated very well and opened his mouth, stuffing the snack in his hand into his mouth, his handsome face puffed up.
【ah? 】
I'm not asking you to eat it! I'm just promising you something!
"More?" Pei Ji had a mouthful of dim sum, but he continued to stuff it in his mouth helplessly. His mouth was so swollen that he couldn't even speak clearly. "Is this okay? I just said a few words to you, and you're trying to intimidate me like this..."
He Zhiliao opened his mouth, wanting to yell "Ah" to tell the other party that that wasn't what he meant, but Pei Ji always deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, and besides, there were outsiders here...
At this time, the two outsiders were staring at them with amusement on their faces, taking a sip of tea and eating some food from time to time, all as a meal.
"Cough!" Pei Ji frowned and coughed lightly.
He Zhiliao quickly handed him the tea so that he could moisten his throat and relieve the greasiness.
Seeing how loving the couple was, Song Yu and Yan Qi could only sigh a few times, but they didn't feel comfortable disturbing them. After all, if they continued to tease them, they would be met with a look of affection, which was unbearable.
This meal allowed the core figures of the He Zhiliao and Song Yan families to become acquainted with each other, so Pei Ji's efforts were not in vain.
After seeing them off, He Zhiliao gestured to Pei Ji that he had seen his father-in-law and his stepfather on the street.
Pei Ji said: "Maybe your father wants to ask you something. It's nothing serious. Don't worry about it."
[Ah, yes.] He Zhiliao nodded obediently.
"Then let's stroll around for a while before going home." Pei Ji held his hand tightly and took him through the streets.
All the prominent merchants in the capital knew Pei Ji. Previously, they had only heard that he was married and that he took Zhengjun out of the city for a trip, but today when they saw him walking around the streets with Zhengjun with their own eyes, they were a little surprised.
This fierce young general, the young master of a noble family, actually got married.
Pei Ji knew that he would be nervous, so he took advantage of the other person's loose sleeves to wrap his hands tightly, and walked on the street, shopping like a boy giving away money.
Anything that He Zhiliao takes a second look at will be put into his pocket.
But buying this also reminded He Zhiliao of how Pei Ji had been so generous before returning home, giving all those good things to the He family...
But how could those bad guys deserve his and Pei Ji's filial piety?
"What's wrong? Are you tired? Why are you so listless?" Pei Ji saw that he looked downcast and assumed he was just tired. "We've almost finished shopping, so shall we go home now?"
He Zhiliao nodded silently.
He was not used to going out, and he was not in a good mood. He decided to go home quickly to adjust himself so as not to let Pei Ji see his expression.
"That's not right." Pei Ji sighed softly, "Are you hiding something from me? If you have something to say, just say it quickly. I'm blocking your mouth."
Bad guy!
He Zhiliao hummed twice in his heart, and gestured with some difficulty to ask about the return gifts.
"I bought all of them to honor my mother-in-law. Now that she's passed away, they're naturally left to you. They're all piled up in your little storeroom."
"To the He family? Do they deserve the surname Zhao?"
