The Male Wife

The night of New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve dinner.

The Jiang residence in the imperial capital.

Jiang Linzhi, the owner of the Inorganic Pavilion, is sitting on the main seat, with Pei Cheng and Jiang Yanzhi on the left and right sides, and then in order of order, there are the three small pavilion masters of the Inorganic Pavilion, the small pavilion owner, and the small building owner of Wulou.

Before Jiang's housekeeper came to Jiang's house, he was specialized in managing various affairs in Wuwu Pavilion. Jiang Linzhi asked Jiang to sit down, but he refused.

He said cheerfully that now his identity is a housekeeper, which is different from everyone else, so it is better not to sit down.

Jiang Linzhi went with him.

The owner of the small pavilion of the three small pavilions and the landlord of the non-building building felt very embarrassed. Over the years, these people gathered together on the New Year's Eve, and they rarely ate at the same table with Jiang Linzhi, so it was embarrassing.

Pei Cheng also felt embarrassed, originally he was fine, but for some reason these rough guys suddenly became coy, which also made Pei Cheng coy I didn't know what to say, so Jiang Linzhi said some words of gratitude as usual, and then said: "... let's serve dinner."

Jiang Linzhi picked up the chopsticks, reflexively put a piece of meat roll in Pei Cheng's bowl, and then bowed his head to eat.

Jiang Yanzhi bowed his head to eat obediently.

On the contrary, the people below couldn't help but gasp when they saw Jiang Linzhi's subconscious behavior just now. It wasn't that they were surprised, but because they really rarely saw that Jiang Linzhi would take the initiative to pick up food for someone without saying anything , and because it was the first time they saw Jiang Linzhi, no matter what they did, they always thought of Pei Cheng first.

Pei Cheng has been used to being served by Jiang Linzhi in a short period of time, and he didn't think there was anything wrong, and he didn't see the particularly surprised behavior on the faces of these small pavilion masters and small landlords.

Jiang Linzhi seldom drank alcohol, but today he drank a small cup for the first time. He usually doesn't drink, not only because there are people in the room who don't like to smell alcohol, but also because there is a child in the room who can't smell it. .

In addition, he himself is not the kind of person who loves to have fun, so he naturally quit drinking for a while.But this does not mean that Jiang Linzhi is not good at drinking.

At the very beginning of this New Year's Eve dinner, everyone was very cautious, but when Jiang Linzhi broke the precept and drank the first glass of wine, the people below also started drinking. Because of their special status, everyone restricted the amount. But once drinking, this kind of person loses his original restraint and starts to let go.

After a while, the tone of the chat in the hall became more casual and natural, and there were more words.

After Jiang Yanzhi finished eating, he put down the bowls and chopsticks and did not leave. He just sat in his original position and listened to Chen Fei who was beside him supporting his shoulders and chirping.

Fade Chen traveled all over the world, so he was well-informed, and he relaxed when he drank, and he forgot to be reserved in front of the pavilion master. He chattered to everyone about his anecdotes on the road last year.

Pei Cheng didn't listen carefully at first, but later, when Fade Chen mentioned the two strange Taoist priests he met on the way, he was taken aback, and listened carefully while eating, "...these two look quite strange , always wearing gauze hats, refused to show their true colors to others, and even wore hats when eating. At first I thought these people were fugitives, but then I accidentally saw them with yellow symbols on their bodies, so I probably guessed they were Taoists. "

"Strange Taoist?" Chen Shu curled his lips, "How strange can it be?"

"They don't look very strange, they don't look very strange, and their rescue behavior is strange. It's useless to tell you a fool. You don't know the world. I have traveled all over the world for so many years, and I have never seen a Taoist priest who loves meat." Fade Chen Feeling that Chen Shu was insulting himself, his face darkened, and he continued: "I thought these two Taoist priests were the ones who kidnapped my wife before, and I sent people to follow them seriously, but let's find out... One is a charlatan, a fake Taoist priest who is deceived and abducted, so boring."

Chen Shu patted Fade Chen's head hard with his chopsticks. This idiot, a fake Taoist priest is a fake Taoist priest. Why did he bring up the previous incident? Didn't you see that the pavilion master's face changed? This idiot said, "Eat your meal, What nonsense are you talking about?"

Fade Chen just felt that the atmosphere was awkward and cold, so he purposely said these things to enliven the atmosphere. As a result, his purpose of invigorating the atmosphere was not achieved, and everyone quieted down because of his words, and suddenly felt a little stupid.

He might have been killed by his own mouth in his previous life.

Jiang Linzhi didn't bother with Fade Chen, "You are so free to follow the two fake Taoist priests, Fade Chen, do you really think you have very little work on hand?"

Fade Chen's face changed drastically in an instant, "Ge Ge Ge Ge Ge Ge Ge, the owner of the pavilion, this is not authentic, I just followed it from a distance and found that these two are charlatans, so I didn't continue to follow. , but I didn't spend a lot of time on them at all, God knows."

He was so busy with work that he couldn't keep his heels on the ground, how could he be idle, he really owed it.

Chen Shu laughed loudly, "What do you mean, if you didn't find out that the two meat eaters are fake Taoist priests, you still plan to follow them until you find out that they are fake Taoist priests?"

Now that Fade Chen has ten mouths on his body, he can't tell clearly, and he is suddenly depressed.

Everyone laughed at Fade Chen's stupidity.

So Chen Fei blamed the two glasses of wine he drank for the reason why he was owed just now, curled his lips, muttered a few words, and raised his voice proudly: "Housekeeper, pour tea for Sajia."

Steward Jiang brought him a cup of strong tea, "It's hard to eat meat all year round, why don't you drink more wine, you have no business in the past two days."

Fade Chen muttered, "If you drink any more, you will become a fool. If you stop drinking, these guys will know how to laugh at me."

So Fade Chen, who was about to drink sober tea before drinking two glasses of wine, was mercilessly ridiculed again.

Fade Chen just felt that he really had no relationship with these people.

After eating, drinking, and chatting, everyone went back to the wing room in the backyard to sleep. After Jiang Butler was busy arranging the people, he turned to the yard and took a look at Jiang Yan who was still sleeping soundly. before leaving.

Pei Cheng coaxed Jiang Yanzhi to sleep, "When we get up early tomorrow morning, let's go out and make a snowman."

Jiang Yanzhi was lying on the bed, and refused to play this game with Pei Cheng righteously. Two days ago, his father told him to go out to build a snowman. He thought that his father wanted to play with him, but he didn't expect that his father was pulling him. Play with him by yourself.

After building a snowman for a long time, my father came back and saw the snowman piled up at the door. That night, he took Pei Cheng to teach him a lesson, and finally warned Jiang Yanzhi to watch Pei Cheng.

Pei Cheng hasn't had a month of health care yet, if he goes out again and the cold wind leaves the root of his illness, Pei Cheng will be unlucky then.

Pei Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Blowing cold wind and touching cold water is just a saying of the older generation, but in fact, no one really fell ill because he didn't take good care of himself during the month of self-cultivation.

Early the next morning, Steward Jiang found five or six elderly women.

The old women sat on the chairs and said to each other that they all fell into the root of the disease because they did not take care of their bodies after giving birth when they were young, and there are still many places where they are uncomfortable.

Pei Cheng only felt regretful, "Your father doesn't like to play these things, why don't you even like to play?"

"Dad, have you forgotten that you were reprimanded by your father that day?" Jiang Yanzhi looked at Pei Cheng with a headache. Dad is good everywhere, but sometimes he just forgets to eat and beats. "If father knows that you still play , he will really be angry."

"Are you so afraid of your father being angry?" Pei Cheng was unwilling.

Jiang Yanzhi looked at Pei Cheng silently.

Pei Cheng covered him with a quilt, "Sleep, I'll watch you here." He gave up discussing this issue with Jiang Yanzhi.

Jiang Linzhi is indeed scary in some places.

Just like those disrespectful masters in the school who hold a ruler in their hands all day long, they are solemn and serious, and people will always be afraid of him subconsciously.

Pei Cheng went to a school for a period of time when he was young, and at that time he felt that the master who taught him was very cruel. Of course, when he thinks back now, he always feels that the master who taught him was really cruel.

Pei Cheng felt that he had left a shadow.

Jiang Yanzhi silently burrowed his head into the bed, leaving only a pair of eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Daddy, go back, I'm going to sleep."

Pei Cheng coughed dryly, and said in a deep voice, "I'll wait for you to fall asleep."

Said, Pei Cheng also gently patted Jiang Yanzhi's quilt, coaxing him to sleep.

Jiang Yanzhi yawned, closed his eyes, and originally remembered to ask Pei Cheng to go to bed early, but he didn't expect to be slapped by Pei Cheng like this, and fell asleep soon.

Pei Cheng left the bed lightly, and when he walked to the outside room, he reminded his servants to keep an eye on the movement in the inner room, "Go in every once in a while to see if he has kicked the quilt."

The servant nodded and said yes.

Pei Cheng still worried: "If he gets up at night, let him go with his clothes on, so as not to catch cold."

The servant nodded again and said yes, "Understood, ma'am."

After Pei Cheng finished speaking, he left uneasy.

When he walked out of the room, the wind and snow outside blew towards Pei Cheng's face, Dong Lai walked over holding a paper umbrella, and the servant walked in front, still holding a lantern in his hand.

When he just found the gate of the yard, he saw Jiang Linzhi coming out, and Pei Cheng was startled.

Jiang Linzhi was the first to react, stepped forward first, then held Pei Cheng by his side, and used his body to help him block most of the wind and snow, "Why did you come back so late."

He didn't see Pei Cheng when he went back just now, so he came to Jiang Yanzhi's yard to look for someone.Pei Cheng laughed, didn't explain anything, just smiled.

Jiang Linzhi stopped asking.
