ask incense

Seeing that the housekeeper reached out to grab Sai Tianxian, Pei Ling first grabbed Sai Tianxian and protected him behind her.According to Pei Ling's usual personality, he still politely apologized to the housekeeper first.

"Sorry, my brother is a little confused."

At this time, the butler was not as comfortable as before, "Can't recognize the direction, can't you recognize your own position? See where this is, and let you rush in?"

Hearing what he said, Pei Ling frowned slightly. It would be fine if she scolded herself, but she couldn't hold back for a while when she scolded Sai Tianxian.Pei Lingchen took a step forward, raised his chin and looked at the butler, "Yes, everyone must recognize their own position. Since you have successfully entered the Tang family, and you are lucky enough to be able to participate in this incense meeting, you can be regarded as a guest after all. Yes. Are you right? Steward? Have you recognized your position?"

The housekeeper was stunned, and was really shocked by Pei Ling's deep and powerful voice, which was also disturbed by the troubles in the early morning, which made him angry and messed up.At this moment, Pei Lingyi was suppressing his aura, and he suddenly realized that even if they were not distinguished guests invited by the young master himself, but they had already successfully entered the Tang family, it is impossible to say what kind of people they will be with and what they will have in the future. Such a future is more noble than that of a housekeeper like him.Then he peeked at Sai Tianxian who was hiding behind Pei Ling. With such a face, it was very difficult to avoid the eyes of distinguished guests, so he had to be careful not to offend others.

The housekeeper bowed slightly to Pei Ling, "I was reckless, the rules of the Douxiang Club, every time you win a game, you can enter the second courtyard. Currently, the two of you are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard."

Pei Ling didn't intend to make things difficult for him. Seeing his attitude improve, Pei Ling naturally withdrew his aura and nodded at the housekeeper, "You have a lot of things to do, so we won't bother you." After finishing speaking, he led Sai Tianxian is ready to go back to the room.

The butler watched them leave, looked at Sai Tianxian's back silently, frowned at his unfit clothes, and thought that he was not only trying to be polite to them, but also sent some clothes that fit.

Sai Tianxian, who was following Pei Ling, knew he was in trouble, and called Pei Ling in a low voice, "Brother Ling?"

Of course Pei Ling didn't respond to him.Pei Ling was a person who had never offended others in his life, but today was his first confrontation with an outsider, so he was naturally in a bad mood.Sai Tianxian called him twice, but Pei Ling didn't answer.

In the end, Sai Tianxian had no choice but to support the wall pretending to have a sore leg, and yelled, "Brother Ling, you are walking too fast, I can't keep up."

Only then did Pei Ling stop, and looked back at Sai Tianxian. Sai Tianxian immediately lowered his brows and pouted, showing what he was best at, a pitiful and charming expression.

Pei Ling finally let go of his pitiful expression, turned around, walked back to Sai Tianxian and knelt down in front of Sai Tianxian, ready to look at his leg that was crying for pain.

"Which leg hurts?"

Sai Tianxian pressed his leg and said, "The right leg."

Pei Ling looked up at him, "But you pressed your left leg."

Sai Tianxian quickly switched hands and pressed his leg, "Then, the left leg."

Pei Ling could tell now that he was just fooling himself.However, Pei Ling is not a person who remembers long-term grudges. He was just a little angry just now, and he was angry with Sai Tianxian's behavior. gone.Now there is only distress.

Because of his heartache, even though Sai Tianxian lied to him, Pei Ling still touched Sai Tianxian's shin bone, rubbing and massaging him carefully all the way, and told Sai Tianxian, "The folding walking stick I prepared for you before you came, I remember it. Take it out and use it."

Because Pei Ling squatted in front of him with his head lowered and pressed his calf, Sai Tianxian couldn't see Pei Ling's expression, so he couldn't tell if Pei Ling was still angry.Although Sai Tianxian is not very good at reading the atmosphere, but he has the advantage of asking directly if he doesn't understand. Putting this advantage in the modern age where everyone has a wall in their hearts, it can be said that many unnecessary troubles have been reduced.So this time he still made use of his advantage and asked Pei Ling directly.

"Brother Ling, are you still angry?"

Pei Ling, who was rubbing the calf bones for Sai Tianxian, shook her head, "I'm not angry, but you are really capable. I usually seldom get angry, because you have offended someone today."

Pei Ling had smoothed his edges and corners very early due to the ups and downs in his youth, and he rarely got angry, let alone in other people's homes.

Sai Tianxian knew he was wrong, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Pei Ling looked up at him, seeing that he was not pretending to be pitiful this time, but really pitiful this time.What else can I do but forgive him.

Pei Ling stood up, looked at Sai Tianxian, who was leaning against the wall and hung his head sullenly, raised his hand and lightly pressed his head, and when Sai Tianxian looked up, Pei Ling smiled at him again.

"No, I'm not angry anymore."

At this time, Sai Tianxian followed Pei Ling with a smile.

"But even though I'm not angry, it doesn't mean you don't need to explain."

When the person calmed down, the original curiosity mixed with anger stood out.Thinking about it now, Pei Ling was very surprised why Sai Tianxian followed him to the inner courtyard regardless of his disregard, usually he clearly followed him every step of the way.

"Why did you go to the inner courtyard then?"

Sai Tianxian tilted his head, "I don't know either."

He didn't think much at all at the time, but when the people around the butler hurried past, he was inexplicably drawn to follow.

"Why, do you want to go to the inner courtyard?" Sai Tianxian tilted his head, talking alone, unconsciously leaning his whole body against the wall, and then exclaimed, "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Pei Ling hurriedly straightened him up, this time it was obviously not a fake by Sai Tianxian, Pei Ling supported him, and asked him worriedly, "Where does it hurt?"

Sai Tianxian took out his pocket, he was stung.Pei Ling saw that he took out the lotus nail from his pocket. It seemed that he was caught by the lotus nail in his pocket when he was touching the wall.

Pei Ling asked him, "Is there any meat tied?"

Sai Tianxian didn't answer, stared blankly at the lotus nail, and suddenly grabbed his hair, looking like he had a headache, and kept saying, "I don't know, I don't know either."

"Xian'er! Xian'er!" Seeing that he was abnormal, Pei Ling grabbed his hand that kept scratching his hair, turned him towards him, and faced him face to face, Pei Ling sincerely looked into Sai Tianxian's eyes, " Xian'er, look at me, look at me."

Sai Tianxian's movements remained still, looking into Pei Ling's eyes, he became normal again.Pei Ling comforted his emotions with a smile, took the lotus nail from Sai Tianxian's hand, and asked Sai Tianxian for advice, "Can I keep this first?"

"En." Sai Tianxian nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let's not stand here for too long. Zhao Ming will wake up soon. Let's go back and see him."

"En." Sai Tianxian nodded blankly.Pei Ling looked at Sai Tianxian, who was in a bad state after the abnormality, and then looked at the lotus nail in his hand. He felt that something was wrong, but he had no clue now.

I thought Zhao Ming was still awake, but when they returned to the room, they found that Zhao Ming had already woken up and was staring at the ceiling in a daze. Seeing them come in, Zhao Ming propped himself up and sat up from the bed.

"You guys sent me back last night?"

"Yeah." Pei Ling nodded and told him, "You had a bad fever last night, so I couldn't let you stay in the room alone. We saw that you were getting better this morning, so we went out and found the butler here to ask for medicine and asked him to prepare it." Porridge, so that you can drink it when you wake up."

Although he was grateful to Pei Ling for being so considerate, Zhao Ming was still worried that their act of going out to find medicine for him would cause people to think too much.

Pei Ling knew what he was worried about, so she told him, "Don't worry, I don't have anything to say."

Zhao Ming sighed, and did not let go until now to say "thank you" to Pei Ling.

After accepting his thank you with a light smile, Pei Ling didn't speak again, and Sai Tianxian kept looking down with a listless look.Zhao Ming thought that his attitude towards them last night was too blunt, which caused them to face him like this now.

After all, people's hearts are fleshy. Pei Ling and the others helped him, and Zhao Ming would of course reflect on his attitude. He searched for medicine and prepared porridge for himself early in the morning, but when he came in, he questioned them.Zhao Ming pursed his lips and apologized to Pei Ling again.

Pei Ling didn't understand why Zhao Ming apologized to him for a while, but looked at Zhao Ming in doubt, "Why are you sorry to me?"

"Just..." Zhao Ming scratched his face in embarrassment, "It's just that my attitude towards you was a bit bad last night, and you even took good care of me for a whole night. I feel a little ashamed when I think about it."

Pei Ling understood, and smiled generously at Zhao Ming, "It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."

"Then why did you look like that just now? I thought you were still angry."

"It's not because of you." Pei Ling could only tell Zhao Ming about the unhappiness that happened this morning, "Xian'er didn't have any sense of direction. When I told him to go back to the room, he went in the wrong direction and was reprimanded by the housekeeper. .If you say I'm fine, but why is he so fierce to Xian'er? I heard what he meant and said that Xian'er is not worthy of her status. Why is Xian'er unworthy?! He obviously..." Pei Ling became more excited when he said that. When mentioning Xian'er's identity, Pei Ling had nothing to say, because he didn't know who Xian'er was or what his identity was, so he could only say, "Just by looking at Xian'er's face, she's a match anywhere!"

Hearing the last sentence, Zhao Ming couldn't help laughing. What Pei Ling said was like a parent who spoils his children too much and feels that what his children do is right.

Hearing Zhao Ming laugh, Pei Ling also realized that what she said was a little unreasonable, she smiled awkwardly, and looked back at Sai Tianxian, who looked up at him, Pei Ling felt that what she said was right, just based on With Sai Tianxian's face, no matter how noble the occasion, he would go there.

After Zhao Ming finished laughing, he began to introduce the rules of the Douxiang Club to Pei Ling, "The Tang family's place is very big, and the whole house is about five yards deep. Yesterday we inspected treasures in front of the screen wall, burned water and offered incense in the courtyard. After passing both of these two items, we will be arranged to enter the first courtyard first. The real competition will be arranged later. Every time we pass a round, we will be able to enter the courtyard on the next floor. As for the fifth entrance The courtyard, I heard it is the safe room of the Tang family, and there are many rare treasures in it. We have no background like us, and only those who can stay until the end in the incense fighting meeting can be connected to the safe room where the treasure is hidden. Now We are just qualified, so the inner courtyards will not allow us to walk around at will."

Hearing what Zhao Ming said, Pei Ling finally understood what the butler meant just now. It turned out that he was following the rules, so he looked reckless.However, Pei Ling remembered that Young Master Xuan who was watching the theater yesterday. He remembered that the butler originally arranged for him a room in the inner courtyard, but Young Master Xuan himself refused.

"What about Young Master Xuan? From the conversation he had with the housekeeper yesterday, it seemed that he was going to arrange a room in the courtyard for him."

When Xuan Shao was mentioned, Zhao Ming's eyes dimmed for a moment. Pei Ling realized later that he had mentioned Zhao Ming's pain, and immediately changed his words, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."

When Pei Ling said this, Zhao Ming looked away, "Because they are distinguished guests, and the young master of the Tang family personally sent a letter to invite them. Naturally, they are different from us. They can live in the inner courtyard directly. What's more, if If you have business dealings with the Tang family, you can go directly to the insurance room for a visit. As for Mr. Xuan, I think you should have understood some of the unspoken rules of the Douxiang Club last night." Zhao Ming laughed at himself, "Like me Kind of, people who have had a good life are not willing to live a mediocre life in the future. But to be honest, I also know that I don’t have the strength to restore the former glory of my family by myself. So I can only find another way, for my own sake. The day you want. From the time you come in, you should know that there are so many people queuing up, most of them are people with my mentality. In fact, everyone is trying to get into the flashy upper circle. Every year, Douxiang will come They are all from famous local families. To put it bluntly, don’t they all want to win their attention? Who really came here to win the prize? What’s the use of winning something, it’s more attractive to pave the way for your future life people."

Pei Ling disagreed with what Zhao Ming said, at least they came here to win the prize.

Pei Ling didn't speak, and Zhao Ming went on to say, "The test of the treasure, how can you test your treasure? In fact, it depends on whether you can grit your teeth and get out. Those who are too easy to hand over their treasures, in the In the eyes of rich people, it is the most boring thing to play." Zhao Ming looked at Pei Ling's figure, and then at Sai Tianxian, "Your things are worthless at all, I think you came together, you like this It doesn't look like you can sacrifice yourself, but your little friend looks good, I thought you came to sacrifice him."

Different people have different understandings of the treasure test. Pei Ling didn't know that Zhao Ming understood the relationship between himself and Sai Tianxian so much. He turned around and looked at Sai Tianxian. Wrinkling his nose and humming, "Brother Ling."

Pei Ling patted the back of his hand, "No way."

Sai Tianxian pouted and grabbed Pei Ling's hand tightly.Pei Ling pinched it a little bit harder to appease Tianxian's heart, then turned to Zhao Ming and said, "Our purpose is different from yours. We really came here to win that prize."

Zhao Ming glanced at the hands of the two of them who were holding each other tightly, and felt a little envious for a while, "I really believe that you are here for winning prizes, and I haven't met someone with such a pure purpose for many years. "
