The Male Wife

into the night.

Donglai was wearing a big black padded jacket, and followed Chunyi tremblingly. The two of them walked through a remote path, withstood the wind and frost, and finally came to the back door of Xiyuan. Chunyi opened the door and walked in first. Then he said: "You go in first."

Dong Lai followed with his head down, thinking that he was very mysterious, and he didn't know what Hu Xiayun wanted him for.

Pushing open the door, Hu Xiayun was sitting on the low couch. She cried all afternoon today. The makeup on her face was worn out and her eyes were swollen. However, before meeting Donglai, she reapplied makeup to cover her face. Something is wrong.

Hu Xiayun coughed dryly and said, "Donglai, do you know why I called you here today?"

"The servant doesn't know." Dong Lai knelt down, pretending to be uneasy.

"From now on, you must always pay attention to every move of Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi after they moved to the side courtyard. As soon as they see someone they shouldn't see, you immediately run back to Xiyuan and tell me." Hu Xiayun said quickly : "If what you told me is true, I will give you what you want."

"But Ma'am, you told me the same way before. I have provided you with a lot of information during this period, but you only gave me money. Ma'am, I stay at Jiang's house all year round, and I don't need money at all. "Dong said.

Hu Xiayun's face distorted for a moment, and then returned to normal in the next second. She pretended to be gentle and said, "I thought you wanted money."

"I want to leave the Jiang family and marry a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line after I leave. Ma'am, if you can agree to my request, I will serve you forever." Dong Lai was busy expressing his loyalty.

Hu Xiayun believed him.If it was her before, she would not easily trust a slave who belonged to others.But now that Hu Xiayun has run into walls with Uncle Jiang one after another, even the old lady doesn't trust her, which disturbs Hu Xiayun's always proud judgment at this time. She pursed her lips and said: "I promise you."

Dong Lai lowered his head and kept thanking him, but a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. If the second master hadn't asked him to pretend to surrender to Hu Xiayun, how could he have come to Xiyuan, a disgusting place, on his own initiative?

Dong was sold to Jiang's family since he was a child, and has been serving Jiang Linzhi for so many years. Although he doesn't know what his master is thinking, his degree of loyalty can definitely be trusted by Jiang Linzhi.

Hu Xiayun didn't know what was coming to her mind, she looked at Donglai's kneeling back with a cold face, and promised him several exciting benefits. Come on, from the moment you step into the door of my Xiyuan, you are my Xiyuan people, you are my Hu Xiayun people, if I find out that you betrayed me secretly and tell others what I told you to do, Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Donglai was busy proving his loyalty.

Hu Xiayun didn't know what it was out of, but he was very pleased with Dong Lai's kind words of loyalty.

Shui Ben Shui Shui Shui Donglai stood at the back door of Xiyuan, looked around, saw no one, and then ran out in a hurry.

Chunyi looked at the back of Donglai running away, sneered, closed the back door, turned back, saw Hu Xiayun was still sitting on the low couch, holding a teacup in his hand, rubbing his fingers against the cup, couldn't help asking: " Why does Madam need to make a deal with a lowly servant? Besides, after this year, the family in the East Courtyard will move away from the Jiang family, and by then the Jiang family’s backyard will be Madam’s world, so why should Madam be afraid?"

Hu Xiayun rolled her eyes at Chunyi, but said nothing, her eyes were full of thoughtfulness and complexity.

Chunyi pursed her lips unwillingly, seeing that Hu Xiayun had been immersed in her own thoughts and could only go out by herself, so she guarded the door with her ears pricked up, thinking that if Hu Xiayun had anything to order, she could do it herself. Be the first to know.

Hu Xiayun's eyes were full of contemplation, and he had something on his mind, so he didn't know if Chunyi was out.

Pei Cheng went back after talking with Jiang Linzhi, and he stayed in his yard for the next few days, wondering if he could do what Jiang Linzhi said.

After thinking about it for a few days, Pei Cheng convinced himself that he didn't want to, but was worried that he would cause any trouble for himself if he became the manager and shopkeeper as a husband and wife.

But after thinking it over, Pei Cheng didn't think it was an embarrassing thing to say.

I don't know if it was because of a tacit understanding, but the day after Pei Cheng had just convinced himself, Jiang Linzhi came to him on his own initiative.

Pei Cheng was quite surprised, "Why is Second Master free?"

Jiang Linzhi usually wears a black robe on weekdays, but today he changed into a black robe, which looks a bit good when standing next to Pei Cheng who often wears a white robe.

Pei Cheng didn't realize this, so he walked straight over, stood beside Jiang Linzhi, and said hesitantly, "Second Master?"

"Get ready to go out with me to meet someone." Jiang Linzhi said directly without talking nonsense with him.

"Hmm." Just as Pei Cheng was about to ask something, he suddenly thought of the person behind him whom he had never met, nodded, put on his robe, and walked out the door. Seeing that the wind and snow outside were a bit heavy, he also put his hat on.

Jiang Linzhi stood aside and looked at Pei Cheng's side face, pursed his lips, did not speak, and leaned towards Pei Cheng without any trace.Donglai was left to take care of Jiang Yanzhi personally.

After leaving Jiang's house, Pei Cheng sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window, his eyes full of deep thought.

Jiang Linzhi was not in a hurry, and looked at Pei Cheng's profile with interest.

After Pei Cheng came back to his senses again, the carriage had stopped. Jiang Linzhi got up and got out of the carriage first, and Pei Cheng followed, only to find that the carriage was parked in a small house far away from the city street.

The servant standing at the door waited for a long time. Seeing the two people appear, he hurried up and opened the door of the house graciously.

It was only after Pei Cheng walked in that he realized that this house was full of secrets.Because from the outside it looks like an ordinary small house, but when you walk in, you find that the scenery inside is extremely elegant.

From the few elegant flowers placed in the corridor to the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities hanging on the inner wall of the hall, Pei Cheng somehow felt that this kind of setting resembled the taste of the man standing beside him.

In a daze for a moment, Pei Cheng didn't see a young man who came out of the cubicle look at Jiang Linzhi with a trace of respect in his eyes, and he didn't notice that Jiang Linzhi's breath was obviously gentle after he entered here. few.

A young man in a light-colored gown came over with a slight smile on his face, but inexplicably people felt that he was not as friendly as he appeared on the face. The young man introduced himself, "My surname is Cheng. This is Mrs. ?”

Pei Cheng was a little embarrassed, the word 'sister-in-law' should be used to honor a woman, and it made Pei Cheng feel very uncomfortable to use it on himself, "Master Cheng, just call me Pei Cheng."

Young Master Cheng waved his hand, looking at Jiang Linzhi from the corner of his eye.

Jiang Linzhi looked at Master Cheng coldly.

Young Master Cheng coughed dryly, "Brother Jiang, Cheng Pei, sit down.

Pei Cheng was a little cautious. Hearing this, before he had time to react, his palms warmed up. He was dragged by Jiang Linzhi to a chair beside him and sat down. Maybe he was afraid of strangers, or maybe he was suppressed by Jiang Linzhi's current domineering behavior. Stop, Pei Cheng obediently followed Jiang Linzhi's wishes and held hands.

Young Master Cheng turned around in silence, walked to the main seat and sat down, and said, "I won't gossip. Sister-in-law... Pei Cheng, brother Jiang told you, I plan to open a cockfighting arena in Huacheng, and Now I need a shopkeeper who can help me deal with the customers. Don't worry, you only need to help me manage the cockfighting field, and I will take care of the rest."

Pei Cheng doesn't mind taking over such a good job, but since he was reborn, he has become suspicious, so he still said: "I stay at home all year round and rarely go out, so I may not be the best at how to manage a cockfighting arena. Good candidate."

Jiang Linzhi raised his eyebrows.

Young Master Cheng was not in a hurry, and waited for Pei Cheng to continue.

Sure enough, after Pei Cheng finished speaking, he only paused, and then continued: "However, since Young Master Cheng believes in me, then I must use my housekeeping skills to watch the cockfighting arena. But... I still don't I understand, in Huacheng, there are many capable, capable and influential people, why did Young Master Cheng find me."

The servant came up with hot tea and put down three teacups one after another.

"Why do you think I'm looking for you?" Young Master Cheng picked up the hot teacup, just about to drink it, but put it down because it was too hot, "This is my choice, I just need to trust you, and you just want to drink it." You need to do your job well, and don’t worry too much about other things.”

"Besides, no matter what happens in the cockfight in the future, I will bear all the responsibilities, and you don't have to worry about the rest." Young Master Cheng repeated what he just said, not sure if it was intentional or not.

Pei Cheng stopped talking.In Pei Cheng's view, the cockfighting field was like a pie in the sky, and no matter where he stood to pick up the pie, the pie would make him a lot of money.

Pei Cheng is a vulgar person.

So after he got the guarantee from Master Cheng and Jiang Linzhi, he agreed without any hesitation.

He may still have doubts now, but he won't ask out blindly. After all, the other party has already talked to this extent, and it would be unwise to ask him any more.

Xu Jiang Lin saw the hesitation on Pei Cheng's face, he squeezed Pei Cheng's palm in private, and when Pei Cheng looked over, he whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Pei Cheng didn't realize it at first, but after the man squeezed his palm again, he finally realized that he and Jiang Linzhi are still holding hands.

"cough……"

Young Master Cheng put down the teacup, stood up, and said, "It's still early, if you want, let's go to the cockfighting field together."

Pei Cheng frowned and looked at Jiang Linzhi.

Could it be that the cockfighting field has already started?Pei Cheng thought it was just the beginning of his imagination.

Jiang Linzhi didn't explain.
