The Male Wife

Pei Cheng's sadness came and went quickly, and after his mood began to improve, he obediently followed Jiang Linzhi back.But the two of them just walked into the yard one after the other, and those who hadn't come yet went into the house to sit down, when they saw the servant trotting all the way over to report the news, the servant wiped the sweat from his forehead, panted and said: "Second young master, second uncle, the master and wife have set up a family banquet in the front hall, and are waiting for the two of you now."

Pei Cheng had no intention of eating at all, but when he heard the servant say that his parents were already waiting in the front hall, he frowned slightly, without even needing to think, he just said, "Did the elder brother come back?"

The servant was stunned, and then carefully looked at Pei Cheng's face, seeing that there was no change on his face, he said in a low voice: "Yes, the young master just brought the young lady back from outside. The lady has sent a servant to remind me Once, Second Young Master, this is..." Pei Cheng glanced at Jiang Linzhi, who was also looking at him.

Pei Cheng blushed, he just ran to the bamboo forest in a fit of anger just wanting to hide and vent his excess emotions by himself, what he didn't expect was that Jiang Linzhi would follow him to the bamboo forest.

Thinking of this, Pei Cheng realized belatedly, why did Jiang Linzhi know that he had gone to the bamboo forest?

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi blankly, and before he could figure it out, he heard Jiang Linzhi say, "Okay, I'll be there later."

The domestic servant should be a little afraid of Jiang Linzhi. After hearing what Jiang Linzhi said, he didn't raise any objections at all. He said in a hurry: "In that case, the servant will go back and talk to Madam first."

Pei Cheng was still standing there in a daze, his eyes fluttering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It wasn't until the palms of his hands became hot that Pei Cheng came back to his senses. He lowered his eyes and looked at the hand tightly clenched with Jiang Linzhi without blinking. He didn't know why. He always thought that he couldn't accept Pei Cheng who was with a man. Cheng, at this moment, I suddenly had a thought that it would be good to grow old with Jiang Linzhi like this.

Jiang Yanzhi should have heard the sound from the courtyard. He didn't even have shoes, and he ran out barefooted, then stretched out his hand, hugged Pei Cheng's leg tightly, raised his head, and Looking at Pei Cheng without blinking, he said, "Daddy, where have you been?"

Pei Cheng shook off Jiang Linzhi's hand reflexively. He acted like a disguise, pretending nothing happened, squatted down, hugged Jiang Yanzhi, and reprimanded him with a straight face, "It's so cold, why don't you wear shoes? Just run out."

Dong Lai ran out of the house in a hurry, still holding Jiang Yanzhi's shoes in his hand. When he saw Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi, he stopped and lowered his head, looking like he was afraid of being scolded. Lai ran over with small steps and said, "Madam, these are the shoes of Master Yan Zhi."

Jiang Yanzhi should have realized his mistake, so he didn't dare to say anything, let Pei Cheng carry him to the chair obediently, and then watched Donglai help him put on his shoes.

Pei Cheng poured himself a cup of tea, because he was absent-minded, so he didn't know if the tea was cold, so he just picked it up and wanted to drink it.

Jiang Linzhi reached out his hand to stop Pei Cheng's movement, he met Pei Cheng's puzzled gaze, snatched his teacup, and said calmly: "The tea is cold."

After Donglai helped Jiang Yanzhi put on his shoes, he hurriedly got up from the ground and said, "I'm going to make a new pot of tea." After speaking, Donglai hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table, He turned around and ran out, as if he was afraid that Jiang Linzhi would get angry.

Pei Cheng coughed in embarrassment, for some reason, he always felt that Jiang Linzhi seemed weird today.

Jiang Yanzhi raised his head, looked at Pei Cheng who was distracted, and then at Jiang Linzhi who still had a cold face, then walked up and leaned carefully beside Pei Cheng.

Jiang Linzhi took a lukewarm look at Jiang Yanzhi's actions. He always felt that Jiang Yanzhi was too clingy to Pei Cheng, and now this feeling became more and more obvious.

Pei Cheng's thoughts coincided with Jiang Linzhi's. He was thinking about how to try to change Jiang Yanzhi's clingy habit.

Jiangjia Xiyuan.

Qiu Yi led a Taoist priest in a gray Taoist uniform into the yard, and then shooed away all the servants in the house.

The servants left the house cautiously.

The old lady opened the bead curtain, came out, and said, "Master Zhu."

Zhu Daochang, who was wearing a gray Taoist uniform, showed no dissatisfaction on his face. He waved his hand with his whisk and said, "Mrs. Jiang, long time no see."

The old lady sat on the chair and said: "Qiuyi, you go out and bring in a pot of tea, remember to use the dew you picked up today to make tea." Daoist Zhu smiled slightly, "It's rare that the old lady can still remember the tea drinking habits of the poor. "

The old lady has always respected Daoist Zhu. After all, if it wasn't for Daoist Zhu, she might have been kicked out of Jiang's house long ago, so when she heard Daoist Zhu say this, she stood up quickly and said, "Prince Daoist is serious. If it hadn’t been for the help of the Daoist Master all these years, I wouldn’t have…”

Daoist Zhu stretched out his finger, and said lightly, "Madam, there is no need to say more. Let the past be over, and remembering it will only disturb others."

The old lady was startled, and then looked at Qiuyi who was still in the house, her face was completely down, she said coldly: "Qiuyi, did you not hear what I just told you!"

Qiuyi had been listening to the old lady talk about Zhu Daochang before, and she had been very curious about this Zhu Daochang in her heart for a long time. Now that she finally saw Zhu Daochang, she naturally didn't want to leave so soon, but she saw that the old lady's face was about to drop, His hands trembled in fright, and he hurriedly turned around and ran out to make tea, for fear that he would be sent to do the laundry.

"Yes." Qiuyi hurriedly left the house.

After Qiuyi left, the old lady said to Daoist Zhu embarrassingly: "Now these maids are bullying my old age, and they are not obedient to anything. If it was back then, how could I keep them until now. "

Daoist Zhu sat on the chair and said: "The past is the past, madam, don't mention the past. This is a man who has to keep looking forward."

The old lady nodded hurriedly, she hesitated and said: "I told the Taoist priest in the letter, how is the Taoist priest thinking about it?" Zhu Taoist priest said indifferently: "There is no problem with that person's birth date, but... if Madam really I don’t want to continue to see him here, there is something wrong with his birthday.”

The old lady sat down and said, "I don't quite understand what the Taoist priest meant by that."

"I did a calculation a few days ago. This person's birth date does not conflict with the Jiang family's feng shui. But if it is true that the Jiang family has been suffering from bad luck since he came back, then it has something to do with him. Yes." Daoist Zhu patiently explained, "Furthermore, Madam also said in the letter that the man had been living in a side courtyard before and only came back recently, so I guess that he is thinking about you and the Jiang family. A little resentful."

"The meaning of the Daoist's words is that there is something wrong with the Jiang family during this time, and there is also a reason for his return?" After receiving Daoist Zhu's affirmation, the old lady's face darkened, "I knew that Pei Cheng was with us. The Feng Shui of the Jiang family is not in harmony. But he just came back from the side courtyard, if he is in a hurry to drive people away now, it will not be an easy matter."

Zhu Daochang also heard a little about the Jiang family's affairs over the years, and said, "That man's name is Pei Cheng? That's a good name, but I don't know if his mind can be so vicious."

After a pause in his tone, Daoist Zhu continued: "If Madam really wants to drive people out and doesn't want to make a fuss in Huacheng, it's not impossible, it's just a little troublesome."

The old lady's eyes lit up, she thought Taoist Zhu was going to play tricks on Pei Cheng's birth date, and said: "What does the Taoist priest mean, we can still play tricks on Pei Cheng's birth date?"

Daoist Zhu quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no. This person's birth date is predestined from birth. Even if I am willing to help my wife lie in front of everyone, as long as a Taoist priest with a little knowledge of Feng Shui can figure it out, so This lie must never be told."

The old lady's face was a little disappointed, "Since this is not possible, what does the Taoist priest mean?"

Daoist Zhu smiled slightly, "Madam only has two sons, one is a merchant and the other is an official. The future of the Jiang family is bound to belong to the eldest son, and Madam's third son has gone to the official position, so... this second son who is not right , I should have thought of leaving for a long time."

The old lady frowned, her heart moved, but she didn't know what to do, "But what if they don't want to leave at all?"

"Madam, you can try it first. If it doesn't work, the poor Taoist can help you." Daoist Zhu looked at the old lady with a smile, his eyes full of confidence that he must win.

In Zhu Daochang's view, as long as Second Master Jiang is given a chance, it is absolutely impossible for Second Master Jiang to stay here.

The old lady lowered her head to think about things. She was really moved. After all, she not only wanted to think about the family business that Uncle Jiang would inherit in the future, but also how to bring down Second Master Jiang.

Although Second Master Jiang has been living in the east courtyard for these years, and he doesn't come out to obstruct her eyes, but the old lady can't help but feel sick whenever she thinks that she will live under the same roof with such a disgusting person.

So she would naturally be moved by what Daoist Zhu said.

"I'll talk to them when they come back from Pei's house in two days." The old lady said firmly.

Daoist Zhu nodded in satisfaction.

Coincidentally, Qiu Yi came in with a new pot of tea.

Zhu Daochang picked up the hot tea, blew the hot air gently, and then took a sip, his face full of intoxication.

Looking at the intoxicated look on Zhu Daochang's face, Qiu Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

He really has never seen the world, and he doesn't know why the old lady would believe him, heck.

Zhu Daochang opened his eyes suddenly, and swept all the disdain on Qiuyi's face into his eyes.

Qiuyi lowered her head in a panic, for fear that Daoist Zhu would sue the old lady.

Daoist Zhu sneered and didn't say anything, but he remembered her in his heart.
