The Male Wife
Chapter 175 Coercion
An Ren's departure made Pei Cheng's eyebrows frowned reflexively, and Pei Cheng said: "What's wrong.
"You told me in the letter that you came to the imperial capital this time to accompany you..." Chu Xun stopped eating the food in front of him, and put his hands on his knees, obviously in a casual sitting posture, but It makes people feel a coercion for no reason.
"present"
"I haven't seen you for so long. When you come to the imperial capital this time, do you plan to return to Hwaseong after finishing the shops in the imperial capital, or do you plan to stay in the imperial capital forever." Chu Xun said casually.
Pei Cheng pursed his lips, and said, "Probably stay in the imperial capital. I don't think they will go back to Hwaseong."
"Your man should have run your dim sum shop for you." Chu Xun looked at Pei Cheng with a half-smile, "I'm curious how he has such a great ability." It's not that he has been hiding in Jiang's house. Jiang Linzhi from the hospital is a hopeless and sick child, how could he have such a great ability in a blink of an eye. "
Hearing this, Pei Cheng frowned, his eyes were full of displeasure. He was very unhappy with Jiang Linzhi for doing so many things in secret, but it didn't mean he was willing to hear slander of Jiang Linzhi from others. Rin's words.
"...Forget it." The darkness in the depths of Chu Xun's eyes has all faded away, and it's not the time to say these things, "It's been a long time since I saw you, don't talk about these things, talk about something else. You plan to continue to be a dim sum shop in the imperial capital ? Don’t blame me for not reminding you that the tricks that can be used in Huacheng may not necessarily work in the imperial capital.”
"What do you mean by that." Pei Cheng frowned, and heard the meaning in the other party's words, "The imperial capital is indeed incomparable with Hwaseong, but the safest business I can do right now is this dim sum shop."
Pei Cheng could tell that Chu Xun didn't agree with him running a dim sum shop in the imperial capital, but Pei Cheng couldn't help it. What he could sell now, what he knew how to do best and what he knew best was dim sum.What's more, the shop is also being renovated now, so we can't stop it before it starts business.
Chu Xun smiled and said, "That's not what Chu meant. Brother Pei, the most important thing in this imperial capital is rich and noble families."
And among rich people, the most indispensable thing is rich but boring rich wives.
Pei Cheng had a smile on his lips, and his tone was gentle. He didn't immediately agree with Chu Xun's words, but he didn't immediately refute Chu Xun either. He looked at Chu Xun and said, "This matter can't be rushed."
As soon as Chu Xun heard this, he knew that Pei Cheng was rejecting him. He smiled and didn't take Pei Cheng's words to heart—from the first time they met, he knew that this person was just looking gentle. In fact, the heart is very stubborn.
No cabinet.
Just as Pei Cheng walked into the restaurant, Jiang Linzhi received the news on his back foot. Jiang Linzhi put down the unfinished work expressionlessly, looked at his subordinates kneeling on the ground, "Which restaurant did he go to?" ?”
"It's in Ruyi Building, which is one street away from the dim sum shop." The man in black lowered his head, his tone was respectful, and there was sympathy for Pei Cheng in his obedient words.
Anyway, Pei Cheng went to meet a strange man behind his back in private, no matter who it was on, he would be very angry.
Jiang Linzhi didn't expect that Pei Cheng would actually be obedient to him, he was angry, his face was ashen, "Send someone to guard nearby, and go in to find him if you stay too long."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Linzhi asked people to get out.
The man in black nodded and hurried out.
Ruyi Building.The chat between Pei Cheng and Chu Xun only lasted about half an hour, and the two who hadn't met each other just found a little familiarity with each other, but An Ren, who was guarding outside the door, walked in at this time, and in Chu Xun's ear While speaking in a low voice.
Chu Xun got up to say goodbye, "I have something to do at home, I have to rush back now, sorry. However, when the shop opens, I will definitely be there on time."
Pei Cheng didn't know that Chu Xun was a relative of the emperor at the beginning, he only thought that Chu Xun was an servant in Baihou's mansion, a steward who could be named in front of his master, but now when Pei Cheng saw Chu Xun's low-key After not losing the luxurious clothes, he probably understood something.
"You're welcome." Pei Cheng politely sent Chu Xun away.
Chu Xun left the box, bravely followed An Ren who was beside him, and asked, "Master Hou, has Young Master Pei not discovered your identity yet?"
"He must know, but he doesn't want to pierce the window paper with me." Chu Xun had his usual warm and warm smile on his face. He never thought that his good friend Pei Cheng, whom he had a crush on back then, would really follow him. Like ordinary men and wives, they only want to cling to men like a woman.
"If that's the case, is the Marquis still meeting him?" An Ren didn't quite understand Chu Xun's thoughts. If Chu Xun was really interested in Pei Cheng, why didn't he follow Pei Cheng... If not, then why? But in the midst of busy work, he insisted on taking time to see Pei Cheng?
Moreover, a dignified Baihou would actually agree to Pei Cheng to support him in person on the day the dim sum shop opened... If Chu Xun really did this, Anren wouldn't think that he really only regarded Pei Cheng as a good friend .
After all, An Ren, who has been serving Chu Xun for so many years, has never seen Chu Xun lower his self-esteem, not to mention having such a close relationship with a married man and wife, and always thinking of him.
There was a smile on the corner of Chu Xun's mouth, and he didn't care about An Ren's outrageous words. He thought for a while and said, "It's rare to have a confidant in life. Even if you can't be a husband and wife, it's okay to be a good friend." Believer for several years Well, if he is really interested in Pei Cheng, then there is no need to wait until now.
"Find some time to find out who the second master of the Jiang family is. He was able to find a dim sum shop for Pei Cheng in the imperial capital in just a few days." Chu Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at the Glancing forward, "Such a talent cannot be an opponent."
An Ren nodded, keeping this matter in his heart.
In the box room, Pei Cheng sat for a while, then got up, and went back along the way he came. As soon as he reached the gate of the restaurant, he saw Dong Lai who had been guarding the door for a long time, and a familiar carriage .
Dong Lai breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took a step up, walked up to Pei Cheng, bowed his waist, and said in a low voice: "Ma'am, should we go back now or go outside again?"
Where did Pei Cheng want to go outside? As soon as he saw Dong Lai appearing at the entrance of the restaurant, he knew that Jiang Linzhi had already known about his sneaky visit to see Chu Xun today. Pei Cheng sighed and was in no hurry to get into the carriage. Said: "Where is Jiang Linzhi now?"
"Master, he's in Wuwu Pavilion." Donglai hurriedly said.
Pei Cheng pursed his lips, "When will he come back today?"
Pei Cheng was worried that Jiang Linzhi would blame him when he came back, but he was even more worried that Jiang Linzhi would not come back, so Pei Cheng was a little confused for a while.
Dong Lai looked a little embarrassed, "Here, when the master will come back, this slave doesn't care. Ma'am, don't embarrass the slave."
"Hmm." As soon as Pei Cheng said the words, he knew that he was looking for trouble for nothing, and he stepped on the carriage in a state of distraught.
That night, Pei Cheng waited for a long time but did not wait for Jiang Linzhi. Pei Cheng knew that the man was really angry.
Early the next morning, with big dark circles under his eyes, Pei Cheng wanted to find Jiang Linzhi in person, but he asked Dong Lai, and Dong Lai didn't dare to delay, so he immediately took Pei Cheng to Wuwu Pavilion.
However, it came to nothing.
Dong Lai looked at the expressionless Pei Cheng with some helplessness, "My lord is not here."
Pei Cheng chose a seat, sat down, and gently rubbed his waist. He has been feeling unwell for the past two days, and he doesn't know if it's because of the early pregnancy, so his temper is a little bit worse, "He's not in Wuwu Pavilion, but he can Where are you going?"
Dong Lai just wanted to blurt out "Chunwanglou", but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to say it after thinking about what Chunwanglou was for.
If he talked too much about Chunwanglou and affected the relationship between Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi, then he would be a sinner through the ages.Thinking of this, Dong Lai shut his mouth embarrassingly.
Not noticing the change in Donglai's facial expression, Pei Cheng didn't hear Donglai's voice for a long time, looked up suspiciously, and said, "Apart from Wuwu Pavilion, where else can he go?"
Dong Lai didn't dare to say it, but Gu Zuo said to him, "The slave didn't follow the master, so I don't know very well. If Madam wants to ask the master for something now, why don't you wait for the slave to ask the people in Wuwu Pavilion first?"
Pei Cheng's face was gloomy, he didn't speak, his face was full of indifference, he didn't know what to do with Jiang Linzhi.
He didn't worry about what would happen if Jiang Linzhi didn't come back one night, he was only worried that Jiang Linzhi would misunderstand himself and Chu Xun.Pei Cheng vaguely noticed that Chu Xun's identity was unusual yesterday, but he never dared to guess up the identity of Fang Dao.
The steward of the Wuwu Pavilion rushed over after finishing the work at hand. He knelt on one knee and said, "Ma'am."
Sitting on the stone chair, Pei Cheng glanced coldly at the steward of Wuwu Pavilion, "Where's Jiang Linzhi?"
"Master, he, he just went out." The steward of the Wuwu Pavilion touched the cold sweat on his head. Judging from Donglai's hint just now, Madam should not only not know what the Wuwu Pavilion does, but the other party should even have one under the name of the master. I don't know about Chunwang Tower either.
Since the master hasn't taken the initiative to explain Wuji Pavilion and Chunwanglou to his wife, if he uses them as servants, he doesn't know how to overstep his master.
The steward of Wuwu Pavilion cautiously raised his head, looked at Pei Cheng, "Madam, is there something you want to do?"
Pei Cheng was a little tired. He ate a little before going out in the morning, but he was hungry after a while. Pei Cheng, who was hungry and tired, inevitably said in a bad tone, "When he comes back, remember to ask him to come to me."
After finishing speaking, Pei Cheng didn't look at the expression of the steward of Wuwu Pavilion, got up and left.
From the backyard of the Wuji Pavilion to the gate, Pei Cheng walked all the way, and saw many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries being led in by the servants of the Wuji Pavilion. When these people saw Pei Cheng, some of them could not take their eyes off it, and some of them were lustful. , but no one dared to ask Pei Cheng's origin in the Wuwu Pavilion—the Wuwu Pavilion is not a place where you can do whatever you want.
Pei Cheng frowned, feeling disgusted by the vague gazes of these people, so he became even more annoyed.
"You told me in the letter that you came to the imperial capital this time to accompany you..." Chu Xun stopped eating the food in front of him, and put his hands on his knees, obviously in a casual sitting posture, but It makes people feel a coercion for no reason.
