Chapter 157 Too beautiful is like a demon

The smile on Huajiao's lips suddenly froze before it even rose.

In just a moment, his mood fell from joy to the abyss of anger.

Uncle Chen was very happy, and the wrinkles on his face became lighter. He had always felt that Pei Ruji's family was of good character. Moreover, Pei Ruji was the son-in-law chosen by Lord Lin when he was still alive. In Uncle Chen's opinion, Pei Ruji was a good person.

Marrying Pei Ruji is also fulfilling Lord Lin's last wish.

Ever since the young lady and Pei Ruji broke off their engagement, Uncle Chen had always felt regretful in his heart.

But he was just an old servant in the palace, so naturally he couldn't interfere with the young lady's marriage. Fortunately, General Pei was so confident that he asked the emperor to come forward to grant the marriage, so the marriage was definitely done.

"I thought you and General Pei were no longer together, but I didn't expect you to be together again."

Uncle Chen's words reminded Hua Jiao of the marriage lottery he drew at Jingci Temple: the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, the mountains and rivers are gone, and there are twists and turns.

She was extremely worried and asked: "Uncle Chen, why don't you like Yu Taiqing?"

Uncle Chen thought for a while and said, "I just think he is too handsome. A grown man with a more beautiful face than a girl always feels a little unreliable."

Huajiao had never thought of this reason. If Yu Taiqing knew that he was rejected because of his handsome appearance, I wonder how he would feel.

"This old slave has lived so many years, but he has never seen a man more handsome than him. I heard that there was a demon in Lan'an City a few days ago, and Yu Du asked him not to be a demon..."

"Uncle Chen!" Huajiao interrupted Uncle Chen coldly and said, "Superintendent Yu is the superintendent of Tianshu Division. He specializes in subduing monsters. It was also thanks to him that the monsters in the past few days were able to be subdued. You

How can you just talk nonsense?"

Huajiao paused for a moment and then said: "Uncle Chen, don't you think it's too outrageous to arbitrarily infer that a person is a demon based on his appearance? If these words were spread, it might kill someone, do you know?

"

Uncle Chen quickly said yes.

Huajiao turned around and left angrily.

Uncle Chen looked at the back in the corner of the painting and let out a long sigh.

He had never seen the young lady so angry, she seemed to have true feelings for Yu Taiqing.

The young lady was still young after all, so she was confused by the man's face.

After all, Huajiao was shocked by the news of the marriage. He was lying on the bed and couldn't even eat.

Lin Gu and Xue Xiu took turns comforting her, but it didn't help.

Aunt Lin was also worried, but what she was worried about now was not the marriage, but the fear that her little lady would do something inappropriate in a rage.

Sure enough, Huajiao seemed to have thought of something. Yigulu sat up from the bed and said, "Why should the emperor say a word and I will get married? I will sneak into the palace tonight and ask the emperor to withdraw his decree."

Aunt Lin was so frightened that her legs bent and she almost knelt.

"Auntie, please don't be impulsive. The emperor is not something you can just see if you want. The palace is heavily guarded, not only by the imperial army, but also by the demon masters from Tianshu Division. If you are caught, you will

If you commit the crime of regicide, you will be punished by the nine clans. The heads of all the people in the He family are not enough to be chopped off." Aunt Lin knew that Hua Jiao was bold and deliberately put the lives of the people in the He family on her body."

If something happens, you just leave, but we people can't leave, so you have to think about us before you act."

Huajiao glanced at Aunt Lin and was immediately discouraged.

Xue Xiu suggested: "Madam, wouldn't it be better to wait for Inspector Yu to come back and let him talk to the emperor?"

In fact, Huajiao also understood that it would be better for Yu Taiqing to come forward in this matter. However, she still felt that whoever caused the trouble would be the one to solve it, so she decided to meet Pei Ruji.

Huajiao sent Zheng Xin and Zheng Heng to Pei's house to send a message to Pei Ruji, but unexpectedly, they did not see Pei Ruji's face.

According to the servants of the Pei Mansion, their Lord Sanlang has been very busy these days and will definitely pay him a visit when he is free.

Huajiao waited for two days, but Pei Ruji did not show up. She knew in her heart that Pei Ruji was deliberately avoiding her.

Yeguang Restaurant is the largest orchid restaurant in the West City, and all the wine sellers and waiters there are orchids.

The decoration of Orchid's Restaurant is also different from other restaurants. There is a wool felt blanket on the floor and square low tables.

That evening, before the curfew, there were many customers in the wine shop.

A Hu Ji was sitting behind the counter, fiddling with the abacus, when suddenly her eyes dimmed, and a lazy and elegant voice came: "Bring a jar of the strongest wine in your wine shop."

Hu Ji raised her eyes and saw a young lady standing in front of her.

Hu Ji was a little surprised. She looked up and down at the visitor and saw that she was wearing a crimson-colored skirt with wide sleeves and a wide belt. The skirt was woven and embroidered with light red patterns.

Judging by the fabric of her clothes, she is obviously a young lady from a wealthy family.

Hu Ji was a little surprised. She didn't know why this young lady came to the wine shop alone as it was getting late.

Seeing that Hu Ji was not moving, Huajiao smiled softly at her, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, they don't sell wine here?"

"It's for sale, of course." Hu Ji hurriedly called the waiter to fetch a jar of the strongest thousand-year-old liquor in the store.

"Little lady, do you want to drink in the wine shop or take it home?" Hu Ji asked, pointing to the wine jar.

Huajiao took out a piece of silver and put it on the cabinet, and said with a smile: "I'm in a wine shop." He paused and said, "Bring me twenty skewers of roasted mutton, twenty skewers of roasted beef tendons, and twenty skewers of roasted chicken hearts.

"

Huajiao said, lifting the wine jar with one hand, turning around and walking towards the hall.

In the middle of the hall, an Orchid was playing the pipa and singing, and the beautiful exotic singing was mixed with the laughter and laughter of the people.

Beside a square low table, Pei Ruji and several imperial soldiers were drinking.

Zhang Qian spoke loudly: "General Pei, back then, you insisted on breaking off the engagement with Madam Jiang and asked your subordinates to give you advice. Now you ask the Holy One to grant you a marriage. Why are you going through all this trouble?"

Li Hou chuckled and said, "It's not like the general regrets it. I've long seen that he treats Madam Jiang differently."

Zhang Qian asked again: "General Pei, when...when will you get married?"

Pei Ruji picked up the wine cup and took a careful sip. An unknown smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "It's almost here."

Suddenly there was a "duh" vibration, and there was a jar of wine in the middle of the table.

A long and delicate hand reached over, slapped open the seal of the wine jar, and said softly: "Is this the pear blossom white you are drinking? This wine tastes boring. Come on, I have been drunk for a thousand years, and tonight I will

Please."

With that said, the visitor picked up the wine jar and filled the wine cups in front of everyone with wine.

Her skill in pouring wine was excellent without spilling a drop.

Thousand Years of Drunk is indeed a strong drink, and for a while, the rich aroma of wine overflows.

Pei Ruji originally thought that the person pouring the wine was Hu Ji in the wine shop, but when she looked up, she was surprised.

All he saw was that the person in front of him was looking up at him lazily, with a cold and solemn look on his picturesque face.

"Ginger... Lady Jiang?" Zhang Qian said in surprise.
