Pei Heng, who had just finished training in the martial arts gym, bought some vegetables and brought them back, asking two maids to cook.
Since these two maids were bought from poor families and had never learned martial arts, they could not go out during the day, so he had to bring back vegetables.
As the eldest son of the Pei family, he had never done the job of buying groceries before. He made a lot of jokes in the beginning, but he got the hang of it slowly, and the feeling of buying groceries... was not bad.
After lunch is ready.
Xu Lian and Pei Zhaoxi came out of the house playing and playing to eat.
"Brother-in-law, has Chen Xuan's problem been resolved?"
Pei Heng poured a glass of wine for Xu Lian and then poured one for himself.
Pei Zhaoxi snatched the wine pot, poured a glass, and snorted, "Am I not a human being?"
Xu Lian picked up his glass and clinked it with the brother and sister, "It's solved."
Pei Heng sighed, "In Luzhu Town, my identity as the eldest son of the Pei family was very useful wherever I went. But now that I'm in Pingyang County, it's useless. If I tell others about it, they will despise me and cause me trouble.
I am also responsible for Chen Xuan's harassment of Zhao Xi. When I first came to the martial arts gym with Zhao Xi, I wanted to make more friends, so I reported my identity. Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan targeted Zhao Xi instead, thinking that people from our town who came from the countryside were easy to bully. "
Xu Lian patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. Every failure is a lesson for you. Just keep your identity a secret from now on, and no one will know your details."
Pei Heng laughed and said, "You killed Chen Xuan in public, and the strength you showed scared everyone in the martial arts hall. Now they avoid me. The martial arts master even asked me why I came to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts when I have such a powerful brother-in-law."
"Although I am quite capable, my method of cultivation is not suitable for you."
Xu Lian and Pei Heng chatted while eating. Originally, Pei Heng and he had a good relationship, and after he became Pei Heng's brother-in-law, their relationship became even closer.
Pei Zhaoxi seldom spoke, but Xu Lian did not ignore her. He picked up food for her from time to time to cultivate her favor... starting with the details.
After dinner.
Drink tea to help digestion.
Pei Heng had to go to the martial arts gym to practice martial arts in the afternoon, so he took a nap.
Xu Lian and Pei Zhaoxi went out shopping.
The two of them held hands, one was handsome, the other was stunningly beautiful, like a golden boy and a jade girl, attracting a lot of attention.
Xu Lian bought clothes, jewelry and so on for Pei Zhaoxi. Girls like these things. Not to mention a girl like Pei Zhaoxi, even female practitioners are not immune to this.
Finally, Xu Lian brought Pei Zhaoxi to Lingcui Tower and used spirit stones to buy some medicinal food and bath items for Pei Zhaoxi that would help him practice martial arts.
As for the more advanced elixirs, Pei Zhaoxi couldn't use them at the moment, so it actually only cost him a few spirit stones.
He knew that the Pei family, one of the three largest families in Luzhu Town, certainly had no shortage of money, but they had no spirit stones. Even if they did, they were extremely few.
Pei Zhaoxi was touched and happy, "Thank you, husband."
Xu Lian smiled and raised his hand to scratch her nose. "When we were in Green Bamboo Town, Zhao Xi, the little rich woman, married me, she was not stingy at all. She gave me so many houses and fields as a dowry. How could I be stingy with Zhao Xi?"
Pei Zhaoxi leaned against him and whispered touching words in his ear, "I am even more grateful that I shot a sneak attack on my husband. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done that to me, and we wouldn't have been husband and wife."
Xu Lian knew that this was a good time to cultivate goodwill. "I didn't expect that after the unruly Zhao Xi got together with me, she would give me her whole heart. Zhao Xi is so nice."
"My husband is also very good."
"So Hee is still the best."
"Hello, my husband!"...
Just when the atmosphere was just right, a girl's clear voice was heard, "Brother-in-law?"
Xu Lian looked at her and felt that she looked familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered where he had seen her before. It turned out that she was the daughter of Lin Wan's uncle, and Lin Wan's cousin, named Lin Xin. He had seen her at the spiritual house on First Street.
Lin Xin looked at Pei Zhaoxi, who was acting intimately with Xu Lian, with suspicion, "Brother-in-law, who is she?"
Xu Lian was not panicked, nor did he have anything to panic about. Instead, he joked in a relaxed manner, "She is my sister. Buy her some training supplies."
Pei Zhaoxi refused to accept this and snorted at Lin Xin, "I am his legally married wife, who are you and why do you call me brother-in-law?"
Lin Xin said angrily, "He is the man of my second uncle's eldest cousin, so of course I call him brother-in-law."
Pei Zhaoxi immediately understood that Xu Lian had a woman in Pingyang County. Although this was nothing, Xu Lian had just been affectionate with her, and she felt a little jealous. She sneered, "So that's how it is. I asked your cousin to serve my husband well. If she doesn't serve well, I won't agree."
Little Chili Pepper is Little Chili Pepper, her words can choke people to death... Xu Lian was a little speechless.
As expected, Lin Xin was so angry that her face turned red. She glared at Pei Zhaoxi and said, "My cousin didn't move into your house. What's your business?"
Pei Zhaoxi knew very well that in Xu Lian's heart, Xiya must be ranked first, and then her. She could feel Xu Lian's love for her.
She was not afraid of anyone except Xiya, and said immediately, "I see that you are a little older than me, and your cousin is even older. A woman like this will become old and ugly in a few years. Even if she doesn't marry into my family, she can only be a concubine."
Lin Xin was so angry that her body was shaking, and she slapped Pei Zhaoxi on the face.
"You are just a concubine's cousin, and you dare to hit me."
Pei Zhaoxi was furious, and like a little wild cat whose tail was stepped on, he slapped Lin Xin.
Xu Lian grabbed their wrists one by one and pulled them apart, "Alright, that's enough. What are you doing?"
The saleswoman watched with a snicker and considered whether she should add fuel to the fire by telling her about Xu Lian and the Zhao sisters. But then she thought better of it. After all, Xu Lian was her VIP guest, who had come to her many times to buy medicine. She couldn't afford to anger a VIP guest.
"Brother-in-law, I forgot to bring my spirit stones when I went out just now. Please pay for the pills I picked!"
Lin Xin glared at Pei Zhaoxi. She actually brought the spirit stones, but she didn't fight for the steamed buns but for her reputation. She just saw Xu Lian buying things for Pei Zhaoxi, and she also wanted to fight for Lin Wan's reputation.
Pei Zhaoxi took Xu Lian's hand and left, "Don't buy it for her!"
Lin Xin grabbed Xu Lian's other hand and said, "I want to do it, what can you do about it!"
Pei Zhaoxi snorted coldly, "Your cousin is your cousin, and you are you. What do you mean by asking my husband to pay the bill? Do you also want to be my husband's concubine?"
Lin Xin was stunned for a moment before she realized something was wrong and blushed as she let go of Xu Lian's hand.
Xu Lian asked how many spirit stones the pill cost Lin Xin, took out the spirit stones and placed them on the counter, then left with Pei Zhaoxi.
The main purpose of bribing Lin Xin was to prevent Lin Xin from talking nonsense to Lin Wan and affecting their favorability. Of course, it was unlikely that Lin Wan would be affected, because he had already taken Lin Wan to Luzhu Town and knew his situation.
Pei Zhaoxi is just willful, but not a stingy person. Xu Lian just needs to coax him a little.
that's all.
He accompanied Pei Zhaoxi for a full seven days and visited all the delicious and fun places in Pingyang County. After seven days, Pei Zhaoxi's favorability increased from 90/100 to 91/100, allowing him to gain another advancement point.
In this way, he had four advancement points, one of which had already been added to the rank and required the raw materials of the Night-blooming Flower to advance, and the other three were idle and could be added at any time.
"Night Flower, I have already asked Lingcuilou, this is a special spiritual item from Yuanfu County. There is no such thing in Pingyang County, you have to go to Yuanfu County to find it."
Xu Lian thought about it and prepared to go to Yuanfu County.
However, Yuanfu County is not dominated by the Yijiao forces, and the situation is much more complicated than Pingyang County. His purple jade badge and his position as inspector are not so effective there.
