Chapter 41 The trouble left by Shanshui Moyun Speaking of this, Xing Wenhan...
"If Manager Xing is so interested, I will certainly accompany him. However, I am very busy with the post station today and I am afraid I cannot spare the time. I will prepare some high-quality tea and apologize to Manager Xing some other day."
Pei Yixue declined, nodded to the other two shopkeepers, and left. He really had something important to do, a big event in his life, to find Xie Yushu.
He walked briskly towards the place where he had agreed to meet Xie Yushu.
The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and onto the busy streets, adding a touch of gentle color to the bustling city.
Pei Yixue and Xie Yushu walked side by side, enjoying this rare leisure time.
Today, Xie Yushu was wearing the "Landscape Ink Rhythm" outfit that Pei Yixue had custom-made at Jinxiufang. The ink-colored texture was immersed in the large expanse of white, swaying gently with her steps.
The luxurious and delicate luster unique to the Liuguang Cuiying fabric is even more vivid in the sun, like a sky full of tiny stars pouring down into a splash-ink landscape, which is shocking and eye-catching.
Wearing this outfit, Xie Yushu looked like a jade-like young man walking out of an ink painting.
Pei Yixue was very satisfied and said that the clothes suited Xie Yushu very well.
He tilted his head to look at the person, his eyes accidentally sweeping over the hair hanging on Xie Yushu's shoulders. The black silk-like hair, emitting a lustrous luster, gently dancing in the breeze, seemed very soft and tender, which made his heart ripple slightly.
Pei Yixue couldn't help but stretch out her hand, her fingertips brushed across, picked up a strand of hair from Xie Yushu's shoulder, and gently held it in her palm, feeling the warmth and softness, an indescribable joy and satisfaction welling up in her heart.
But before he could savor it carefully, he felt the hair slipping quickly through his fingers and he could no longer feel it in an instant.
Pei Yixue turned his head and saw Xie Yushu holding the hair that he had taken back from his hand and putting it away as if nothing had happened.
Pei Yixue glanced at the strand of hair, then turned and looked straight at Xie Yushu, with a smile on his lips, but he just looked at him without saying anything.
Xie Yushu seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and his eyes unconsciously swept across both sides of the street.
He originally felt that the clothes he was wearing today were too eye-catching. He had never dared to think about wearing two hundred taels of silver on his body. But Pei Yixue liked them and forced him to wear them.
It would have been fine if he just put it on, but they had to drag him for a walk on the street. What's even worse is that this guy was not behaving himself on the street.
Xie Yushu didn't know why, maybe he was thinking too much, but he always felt that passers-by frequently looked back at him, and the successive gazes seemed to see through him, making him feel uncomfortable.
Xie Yushu whispered to Pei Yixue: "Look at the road, don't look at me. Or, let's go back."
Return... When Pei Yixue recognized this word, he couldn't help but imagine returning to the house, a man and a woman staying alone in the room.
But when Xie Yushu said he was going back, that definitely didn't mean it.
Just yesterday, Xie Yushu agreed to some of his new requests. Today, even if he talked his mouth off, Xie Yushu would not give him any more sweet benefits.
Pei Yixue rejected Xie Yushu's suggestion to go back: "Ashu promised to accompany me to go shopping, and I can't break my promise."
The two continued walking forward, and Pei Yixue would stop at every stall and store they passed to pick out some things.
In the past, whenever Pei Yixue gave gifts to Xie Yushu, Xie Yushu would always refuse. But now that they have this relationship, he gives gifts without hesitation.
Xie Yushu was unwilling to accept it. Pei Yixue thought about it and couldn't help but chuckle. He just happened to have an idea to let Xie Yushu compensate him from other places.
In front of an exquisitely decorated stall, a wide variety of hairpins sparkled with alluring luster under the sunlight.
Pei Yixue selected carefully, and every time she liked one, she would show it to Xie Yushu and ask for his opinion.
This gentleness and sincerity is rarely seen on Pei Yixue's face. Pei Yixue may be gentle to others on weekdays, but he also gives people a sense of alienation.
Xing Wenhan walked out of the teahouse and saw this scene, feeling unhappy.
His prey told him that he had something to do and didn't even have time to have a cup of tea. The next moment he started wandering here with others. Unlike his cold attitude towards him, Pei Yixue was extremely enthusiastic towards that person.
After investigating Pei Yixue, Xing Wenhan already knew that Pei Yixue was a serious man, not Xiao Shuang'er, and with the momentum of the Jishiyi Station under Pei Yixue, it would not be easy for him to control it.
His dream was half shattered, but it still had half left.
So what if she wasn't Shuang'er, so what if she couldn't be easily controlled? He didn't want to marry Pei Yixue and have children. What he had been attracted to was Pei Yixue's sickly, weak and vulnerable appearance.
This look and temperament were born for abuse, born for him. If he couldn't get the person, pin her down and fuck her hard, he wouldn't be able to close his eyes in peace when he died a hundred years later.
Xing Wenhan's eyes swept across Xie Yushu beside Pei Yixue, and finally stopped at the "Landscape Ink Rhythm" he was wearing. He remembered very clearly that this dress was clearly bought by the old man Xu Yi.
At the beginning, he heard from the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang that Xu Yi was bought as a gift for a friend of his. And according to the gossip from the shop assistants in Jinxiufang, the relationship between Xu Yi and his friend seemed to be not innocent.
Xing Wenhan had always wanted to find Xu Yi's friend and expose Xu Yi's disrespectful face to the public, but he had no idea where to start. Unexpectedly, he got it now without any effort.
His mind became active, his eyes wandering between Pei Yixue and Xie Yushu. It was not difficult to see that Pei Yixue had unusual feelings for Xie Yushu, and seemed to be eager to show his goodwill, because Xie Yushu was obviously absent-minded throughout the whole process.
For Xing Wenhan, this was a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He walked to Pei Yixue's side with a polite smile on his face, "Manager Pei, are you done so quickly?"
Pei Yixue turned around when she heard the voice, the smile on her face almost froze, and she responded: "Manager Xing, what a coincidence. I just happened to have some free time, so I came out for a walk."
Xing Wenhan's smile was more profound. He turned his gaze to Xie Yushu and asked, "Who is this person?"
"My fellow countryman and dear friend, Xie Yushu." Pei Yixue introduced: "Ashu, this is Manager Xing from Huichun Hall, who has a cooperation with our post station."
Xie Yushu nodded slightly, "Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you." Xing Wenhan rolled his eyes and turned to the hairpin in Pei Yixue's hand, saying, "Shopkeeper Pei has a good eye. This hairpin really complements Mr. Xie's clothes today.
However, I remember that this "Landscape Ink Rhyme" was bought by Xu Yi of Liming Pharmacy a few days ago. Putting aside the expensive price of the fabric of this flowing light and green shadow, the single clothing pattern cost 3,800 taels. It is very precious. How come it was worn by Mr. Xie in the blink of an eye? Mr. Xie, can you help Xing to solve this puzzle?"
At this point, Xing Wenhan's eyes moved around Xie Yushu, making people think about something else, but mainly he wanted Pei Yixue to suspect that there was an unspeakable relationship between Xie Yushu and Xu Yi.
His words were indeed like thunder from a clear sky, leaving Pei Yixue and Xie Yushu both stunned in place.
Xie Yushu was shocked by the price of the dress. The sample alone cost 3,800 taels, plus the material of Liuguang Cuiying, which was not cheap at all, how much would the dress cost? However, Pei Yixue told him that the price was 200 taels.
Two hundred taels was already unacceptable to him. You know, the most expensive clothes he wore on a daily basis would not exceed ten taels. He originally wanted to ask Pei Yixue to return it, but Pei Yixue refused.
Now tell him that a piece of clothing costs thousands of taels...
Pei Yixue was mainly frightened by this sudden change. He was worried that Xie Yushu would doubt his relationship with "Xu Yi" because of Xing Wenhan's words. After all, these clothes in Jinxiufang were originally made by "Xu Yi".
If it were revealed now that Pei Yixue was Xu Yi, Xie Yushu would probably be very angry, and then he would no longer have the buff of "Pei Yixue" who could die young at any time.
He couldn't play pitiful. Xie Yushu would not give in to his unreasonable demands, and he probably wouldn't even give him the chance to get close to him again.
How could Pei Yixue allow this to happen? At least not yet. He didn't expect that the problem would arise from buying clothes.
After thinking for a while, Pei Yixue said, "Manager Xing has misunderstood. I have some friendship with Doctor Xu. I asked Doctor Xu to buy this 'Landscape Ink Rhythm' from Jinxiufang that day."
At this time, Xie Yushu also withdrew his mind from the shocking price and looked at Pei Yixue, full of doubts. Why did Pei Yixue ask Dr. Xu to go to Jinxiufang to buy clothes? Why would Dr. Xu take this job and go to Jinxiufang in person?
Xing Wenhan naturally didn't believe such nonsense, even Xie Yushu didn't believe it. After all, the logic behind it didn't make sense.
Xing Wenhan continued, hinting, "But I heard that Xu Yi didn't remember Mr. Xie's clothing size at Jinxiufang that day, but he knew Mr. Xie's body very well, and he figured out the required size based on his memory and touch. This kind of ability is really amazing."
As Xing Wenhan finished speaking, the air around them seemed to freeze.
The stall owners and other passers-by all cast curious and complicated glances at him. Obviously, they were also attracted by this sudden gossip.
"Manager Xing, people's words are scary, you have to see it with your own eyes. Doctor Xu has saved countless lives, and he deserves due respect." Xie Yushu heard the meaning of Xing Wenhan's words, his face turned pale, and his hands clenched into fists.
Pei Yixue looked at Xing Wenhan with a dark look in his eyes: "Shopkeeper Xing. Doctor Xu once treated Ah Shu. Even if what you just said is true, you cannot slander Doctor Xu and Ah Shu based on this matter alone. Shopkeeper Xing's medical skills are well-known. As the chief doctor of Huichuntang, he should be able to know the patient's body very well, even every specific acupoint of their body.
Besides, I have just said that Doctor Xu was entrusted by me to go to Jinxiufang. After the ten clothing items, including "Landscape Ink Rhythm", "Bamboo Shadows and Breeze", and "Flowing Clouds and Moon", were made, I went to Jinxiufang to take them back. The shopkeeper and the shop assistants of Jinxiufang can all testify to this."
