Denghuaxiao - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Angry at Him

The wind was blowing, and the wooden blocks all over the ground were like falling rocks on a long and empty beach, hitting people’s hearts in pieces, leaving inexplicable traces.

Lu Zhen heard his own calm voice.

“At the Prince Wenjun’s Mansion, my wife, I, and the orb had a life-saving grace…”

Pei Yunying laughed noncommittally.

Lu Zhuo suddenly stopped talking.

The life-saving friendship was squandered in the later piecemeal matters related to Yuxian Tower. It seems unrealistic to seek repayment for a favor. Moreover, Pei Yunshu and Baozhu are no longer in danger, so it will be easy for Pei Yunying to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Selling it at such a price may be for future calculations.

Lu Zhen thought for a while and then said: “If Mr. Pei wants to take someone else’s medical records next time, I can do it for you.”

Pei Yunying sneaked into the medical warehouse of the Medical Officer’s Hospital late at night and took away the medical records, which happened a few days ago. Lu Zhuo himself stayed at the Medical Officer’s Hospital, which was also a help.

Pei Yunying looked at her quietly and shook his head.

Or not.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhuo raised his face and spoke calmly.

“If Mr. Pei is willing to tell me Jin Xianrong’s health-preserving medicine, I would like to prepare another pair for Mr. Pei.”

As soon as these words came out, the calm expression of the person in front of him suddenly cracked.

 Lu Zhen was shocked.

 It seems that there is no reaction at all.

She kept up her efforts: “This medicine is precious. I guarantee that it cannot be found anywhere else. The palace commander will benefit a lot from this.”

Pei Yunying sneered: “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”

“Mr. Pei doesn’t know something. Men often suffer from this disease when they are old. They suffer from blood loss and yang deficiency. Sir, you seem to be fine now. In the future, when you get older, you will inevitably be unable to do what you want. If you have this medicine, you will be as beautiful as before.”

Pei Yunying looked at her in confusion.

Lu Zong was sitting in front of the desk, his eyes were clear, he spoke seriously, and his eyes were very sincere, just like a kind-hearted doctor persuading a patient who refused to listen.

 She always said the most shocking things in this ordinary and ordinary tone.

Pei Yunying reached out and pinched the center of his eyebrows, almost gritting his teeth and said: “It won’t be necessary in the future.”

 “It will be needed in the future.” She insisted.

He suddenly felt a little tired or helpless, so he just reached out and picked up the paperweight on the table, lowered his head and asked, “I told you, what are Doctor Lu’s preparations?”

“Master Pei,” Lu Huan called him after a moment of silence, “you only need to tell me this matter. There is no need to do anything more. It will not cost you anything. And I am now in the Medical Officer’s Hospital, There are many ways I can help you. If you need me one day in the future, or if you have any enemies…”

 She said softly: “I can also kill him for you.”

This voice is very light, like the night wind in spring approaching early summer. When it gently blows on the face, it brings out a slight chill.

Pei Yunying looked her over and said, “Didn’t Doctor Lu say that he has never killed anyone in the past and will not kill anyone in the future?”

 Lu Wei paused.

This is what she once said to Pei Yunying under the Luoyue Bridge.

At that time, they briefly cooperated and staged a well-known drama in front of the military patrol shop to capture the people sent by Meng Xiyan. At that time, he didn’t know her details, so he was testing her step by step, but she was on guard at all times, not wanting anyone in front of her to see any clues.

“Killing is also saving people.” Lu Zhuo’s expression did not change, “I can be your helper.”

 “Helper?”

Pei Yunying smiled, leaned back on the chair, and looked at her lightly: “Don’t you ask me what I want to do?”

“that’s not important.”

  What Pei Yunying wants to do and what his purpose is, Lu Yan doesn’t care at all. This is just a deal between you and me. Whether it can be done depends on whether the chips paid by the other party are exciting enough.

Pei Yunying sighed.

His handsome eyebrows were breathtaking under the light of the lights, but his voice contained a hint of mockery as he spoke slowly.

“Doctor Lu is not afraid of losing his money even if he deals with people who don’t know the details.”

He smiled lightly: “No wonder he was tricked into shooting arrows in the lantern market. Doctor Lu is still not very good at business.”

Lu Zhen looked at him: “Master Pei, have you agreed?”

 The room was quiet for a moment.

After a while, Pei Yunying’s voice sounded.

“There is a tea garden at the foot of Tuoluo Mountain in the outer city of Shengjing.”

 “The thrush you want to ask about is right here.”

 Tea garden?

 Lu Zhen’s heart moved.

She understood that this was the key to the news, so she asked Pei Yunying: “What is the name of the tea garden?”

“The tea garden has now been bought by private individuals, and ordinary people cannot enter.”

 This is a bit disappointing.

Lu Zhen stared at him: “Master Pei, can you accompany me tomorrow?”

Pei Yunying has an official position. If she goes there rashly, she may alert others. It would be better if she has this person to protect her.

But this man’s answer was ruthless.

 “I have something to do tomorrow.”

 Lu Huan: “…”

 She was a little disappointed.

 The two months of ten-day rest only lasted for three days, and two days have passed today. If you can’t enter the tea garden tomorrow, you will have to wait for the ten-day holiday next month, which will waste a lot of time.

 The light in the room was dim, she frowned slightly, her eyes were dim, and her weak shoulders made her look a bit pitiful.

Pei Yunying’s eyes moved slightly.

After a moment, he suddenly said: “I will come to pick you up tomorrow at six o’clock.”

Lu Zhen looked at him in surprise.

His eyes were slightly lowered, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. His expression was very calm, as if what he just said was just mentioned casually.

 Lu Zhen thought for a while: “Thank you, sir, for your medicine…”

“Just give Baozhu a medical consultation.” He interrupted Lu Zhuo and said word by word: “I don’t need to.”

 The corners of Lu Zhuo’s lips raised.

She felt that she had acquired some of Du Changqing’s bad tastes from some unknown time. For example, she felt relieved every time she saw Pei Yunying holding back his anger.

 It seems that only at this moment can we see the helpless side of this man who is so at ease.

 Meaningly boring, but interesting.

He glanced at Lu Zhen and saw that Lu Zhen was in a good mood. He paused and said, “It’s getting late today and you’ve been busy all day. Go back and rest first.” After speaking, he stood up and said, “I’ll see you off.”

 Lu Huo: “No need.”

Pei Yunying frowned.

“It’s always not good for a man and a woman alone to go out together at night. There are many people on West Street, and if we meet, it will make people talk.” She said in a gentle tone, “My fiancé won’t like it either.”

Pei Yunying raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.

 “I almost forgot, Doctor Lu also has a fiancé.”

He said it teasingly, but he did not insist anymore and said: “I asked Qing Feng to see you off.”

Lu Zhuo did not refuse any more.

Qing Feng drove a carriage, and Pei Yunying escorted Lu Zhu to the door of Pei Mansion. After Lu Zhu got on the carriage and the carriage disappeared at the end of the night, he turned around and walked back. After only two steps, he saw Pei Yunshu running out of the house next door, looking at the direction the carriage was driving away with a look of annoyance on his face.

“Why did you come out?” Pei Yunying asked.

Pei Yunshu glared at him and said in a somewhat complaining tone: “I told you to take Dr. Lu back to the hospital in person, why did you let someone else do it?”

 She deliberately emphasized the word “personally”.

Pei Yunying smiled casually and did not answer her question. Then he saw Pei Yunshu holding a box in his hand. The box looked familiar, and he couldn’t help but be slightly startled: “What is this?”

Pei Yunshu lowered his head: “I was just about to tell you about this. Doctor Lu came to the door today and said he had brought a gift for Baozhu. I thought it was some herbs or local products, so I didn’t refuse. When she left, Fangzi opened it and found out No. Look—”

While she was talking, she opened the box, revealing a pair of beautiful golden butterflies inside. The butterfly is lying on the black silk, its wings are light and stretched, and the butterfly wings are decorated with crystal pink gems, shining in the night. You can tell from the complicated craftsmanship that it is expensive.

Pei Yunshu was still saying: “I think Dr. Lu is on duty at the Medical Officer’s Hospital now, but his salary is not very generous. This gift is too valuable. Do you want to find an opportunity to return it… Ah Ying, Ah Ying, do you have any?” Listen to me?”

Pei Yun came back to his senses, looked at the pair of butterflies spreading their wings on the black silk, and chuckled for a long time.

　　… “I really don’t want to owe anyone any favors.”

 The pair of golden butterflies were finally accepted by Pei Yunshu.

Pei Yunying said to her, “It’s just a piece of jewelry. Since I meant to give it to the pearl, I just accept it.” It would be the same if he then looked for other opportunities to return the favor to Lu Zhen in other ways.

Pei Yunshu then thought about it. It would always be rude to return gifts given by others. Since Pei Yunying said this, there would be opportunities in the future, so she accepted the things.

After Fangzi helped Pei Yunshu back, Pei Yunying also entered the door.

The lamp in the study is still on, and the oil in the bronze lantern is still warm. He pushed the door open and walked in. What he saw was the mess on the ground.

The wooden tower blocks pushed down by Lu Zhuo fell all over the floor. The furnishings of his study had always been simple, and sometimes it even felt too empty. The first time it was so messy, it seemed less empty and more spacious. A lively crowd.

 The young man bent down and leaned over to pick up the fallen pieces of wood.

He had piled the wooden pagodas a long time ago, one by one, for many years.

 He never allowed others to enter his study, so the wooden tower stayed here unharmed for many years.

Unexpectedly, the first time Lu Zhuo came in, he was pushed down.

With a light touch from her, the hill-like wooden tower began to flow down like a waterfall, collapsing without mercy.

 “Sorry, let me pile up another one for you.”

The woman stood in front of the desk and said apologetic words, but her tone did not show any guilt. It was as if she was the owner of the study and he was an uninvited guest who broke in without permission.

 Perfunctory and confident.

After a moment, he straightened up, put the piece of wood he picked up on the table, and sighed silently.

　　It is really your own fault and you will not survive.

 …

Because of Pei Yunying’s troubles, Lu Chen didn’t know anything about it.

Perhaps the familiar medical clinic was reassuring, or perhaps it was the excitement of being able to approach Qi Yutai’s secret tomorrow, so she slept soundly that night.

 Early the next morning, when Lu Zhuo woke up, Yin Zheng was standing in front of her bed holding clothes, smiling very persistently.

“The girl has to go out with Pei Dianshuai today and wear this new dress. Otherwise, the weather will get hotter later. The girl is in the medical hospital on weekdays, so she will have no chance to wear it.”

 Lu Huan: “…”

Yesterday, she went to Pei Yunshu’s house to treat Pei Yunshu and Baozhu. Because she had to carry a medical kit, she still wore her old clothes, which disappointed Yinzheng.

However, upon learning that she was going out with Pei Yunying today, Yin Zheng had new expectations in her heart.

She pressed Lu Chen in front of the dressing mirror, like a mother dressing her daughter. She wanted to put all the beautiful and exquisite things on Lu Chen. While dressing Lu Chen, she said: “Song Xiaomei from the silk shoe shop.” , it’s almost the 15th day of the New Year, I asked Tailor Ge to make clothes for the girl earlier, and Sister-in-law Song saw the patterns she drew, and she asked me to draw some for Little Sister Song as well.”

“…Every time I see Miss Song dressed up, I think that this dress will look good on a girl. Now that I have finally waited for the girl to come back, it will not be in vain.”

Lu Zhen let her dress up and whispered: “I’m not going out for fun.”

 She went to the tea garden to inquire about Qi Yutai. What to wear and what to wear was really meaningless.

“Master Xiao Pei is a man.” Yin Zheng said while combing Lu Yan’s long hair with a comb: “It seems that he is not easy to approach, but he also has a wealthy heart. But a hero has trouble with beauty. If a girl dresses up beautifully, she may not be able to tell him. Become a servant under the girl’s skirt, take care of her at all times, and maybe provide her with some more clues.”

Without waiting for Lu Yan to speak, she continued: “Men, it is the same thing for girls to like it.

 Lu Yan was silent.

Pei Yunying is hot on the outside and cold on the inside. He doesn’t look like someone who would be swayed by women. It’s not that he is a hypocrite, it’s just that he looks down on such love.

 Will he become his subordinate?

Lu Zhen doesn’t think he has that charm.

  No matter how beautiful a knife is, it is just a weapon.

 Can hurt others, but cannot love them.

  But these words were of no use to Yin Zheng, so Lu Zhen could only remain silent.

After more than half an hour, Yin Zheng finally combed her hair, applied a light layer of the unused powder rouge she bought to Lu Zhu, and helped Lu Zhu put on the light pink haze dress. , just now he pulled Lu Shuo to take a photo in front of the mirror.

“Girl, take a look, is it just right?”

Lu Zhen looked in the mirror.

In the bronze mirror in the room, there stood a young woman in a long skirt, with fresh lychee in her hair and goose fat on her nose, looking at herself silently.

It actually looks a bit strange.

Seeing her stunned look, Yin Zheng smiled and pushed Lu Zhu out of the door. Miao Liangfang squatted in front of the medicine cabinet and compared the medicinal materials. Du Changqing was leaning on the table and looking at the account book in boredom. When he heard the movement, he glanced back and his eyes suddenly focused. Living.

“Wow!” Acheng’s eyes widened, he threw away the broom in his hand and walked up to Lu Zhuo to circle around: “Doctor Lu’s new dress is so beautiful!”

In the past at Renxin Medical Center, she never applied makeup and wore mostly simple and old clothes to facilitate the preparation of medicinal materials. It’s rare to wear something complicated, which makes everyone’s eyes brighten.

Miao Liangfang raised his head from the pile of medicinal materials, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and praised: “Xiao Lu looks much smarter after dressing up like this! Young girls should wear such bright clothes!”

“Of course,” Yin Zheng said very proudly, “Thanks to me for grabbing the new materials from Tailor Ge’s house, they were gone in two days. I also drew the patterns for Tailor Ge. This craftsmanship is better than those of the ready-to-wear shops in the capital. It’s not bad either!”

Everyone nodded.

Amidst all the admiration, Du Changqing was the only one who frowned and looked at Lu Huo with vigilance: “Why are you going so brightly dressed so early in the morning?”

Lu Hu said: “There are still some things to deal with at the Medical Officer’s Hospital.”

 “Are you alone? Is there anyone else traveling with you? Male or female? Where are you going?”

He asked repeatedly, and Yin Zheng rolled her eyes: “Shopkeeper Du, can you please stop disturbing the scenery?”

“How can this be a disgrace to the scenery? You don’t understand,” Du Changqing walked out, “There are a lot of bad guys in Shengjing. Doctor Lu’s daughter, who is in the right age, doesn’t understand people’s hearts and is most afraid of making careless friends. And you can see what she’s wearing Does this look like you have something to do? No, stop and explain it to me clearly…” He pretended to come to pull Lu Yan away.

Yin Zheng winked at Acheng, and Acheng understood. The two of them rushed forward, one on the left and the other on the right, hugging Du Changqing around the waist. Yin Zheng turned around and said to Lu Zhu: “Girl, hurry up, we are late and people should be waiting in a hurry. “

Du Changqing was furious: “Who is he? Why are you waiting in such a hurry? I want to go take a look!”

Yin Zheng: “What are you looking at? What’s going on with my fiancé, Shopkeeper Guan Du!”

Du Changqing was stunned: “Fiancé?”

Ignoring the chaos behind him, Lu Yan walked out of the hospital with his skirt up. Miao Liangfang waved to her cheerfully: “Xiao Lu, go early and come back early—”

The hustle and bustle fades away behind us.

At the end of West Street, I saw a carriage parked on the side of the road. Qing Feng was sitting on the horse in front and saw Lu Zhuo nodding to her: “Doctor Lu.”

 Lu Zhen returned the gift.

I made an appointment with Pei Yunying yesterday and will wait for her at the gate of West Street after 6 o’clock today. Lu Zhuo did not ask Pei Yunying to wait in front of the medical clinic to avoid being seen by Du Changqing and asking questions again. She was really impatient to deal with this.

Besides, Pei Yunying’s men are too eye-catching. If they stay at the entrance of the hospital for too long, it will be bad if they are seen by interested people. They are doing business today, so it is best to keep a low profile.

Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage curtain was lifted, and Pei Yunying’s face was revealed from behind the curtain. The sunlight illuminated his robe, making his face look like stars and lips like peach blossoms, making him extraordinarily handsome.

 He raised his eyebrows: “Doctor Lu is a little late.”

 Lu Huo: “I’m sorry.”

 In fact, if Yin Zheng and Acheng hadn’t stopped Du Changqing, she could have been later.

Pei Yunying nodded, his eyes fell on her, and he was suddenly startled.

Under the sunlight, the woman did not carry a medical kit. She only wore a light pink skirt embroidered with double butterflies. White butterflies were embroidered on the cuffs and collar. Her black hair fell down on her shoulders, but there was a hibiscus flower hairpin in her bun.

She always wears cool-colored clothes on weekdays, but rarely wears such bright colors, which makes the coldness in her bones fade away, making her look extraordinarily delicate. The two pink ribbons hanging down from the ears make the face look picturesque and bright, like a pink camellia that is about to bloom in spring, and the eyes are full of youthful beauty.

 It’s completely different from usual days.

Pei Yunying’s expression changed slightly: “Today you…”

 Lu Zhen looked at him: “What am I doing today?”

 After a pause, the corners of his lips curved: “It’s nothing.”

This man is incomprehensible.

Lu Yun didn’t say anything else. He picked up the train of his skirt and planned to get on the carriage. However, the carriage was too high and the new skirt made by Tailor Ge was very inconvenient to move. Seeing her difficulty in moving, Pei Yunying held the curtain with one hand and held her arm with the other. Pull her up.

After getting in the car, the curtain was lowered, and Lu Zhu looked at Pei Yunying: “Master Pei, are we going to Tea Mountain now?”

 He nodded and told Qing Feng outside: “Let’s go.”
