The Male Wife

Early the next morning, Pei Cheng came to the blacksmith's shop in the west of the city early in the carriage.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Pei Cheng looked up and found that the front of the shop was not a blacksmith's shop, but a silversmith's shop. He was dumbfounded and wondered if he had come to the wrong place.

Dong Lai said firmly: "Madam, this is where we are, we did not make a mistake."

"Huh?" Pei Cheng was full of doubts, otherwise since Donglai said that he did not make a mistake, then Pei Cheng would not doubt it, he stepped into the shop.

Originally, Pei Cheng thought that he had come very early, but in the end, when Pei Cheng arrived, there were already five or six familiar but not very familiar people sitting in the silversmith's shop.

Six men in vests with bare arms came over, "Ma'am, good morning."

Pei Cheng nodded, and he remembered that when he went to the training camp to find Jiang Yanzhi last time, these six people were small officers who stood aside to train the novice dark guards.

One of the dark-skinned men said, "Ma'am, my name is Ada, follow me."

Pei Cheng led Donglai, followed the six men into the furnace and the forging room, and saw with his own eyes that General Ah opened a door, revealing several large boxes of broken silver inside, "The pavilion master said, use these to make into a heap of silver jewelry."

Pei Cheng nodded, he took out a thin notebook from his pocket, handed it to Ada, and said: "I just stopped by the jewelry store, this is the style of the new silver jewelry that the shopkeeper and I want to buy , take a look first, if there are no problems, build according to these."

"Okay." Ada took a brief glance, and then handed the script full of steps to the other five people.

Pei Cheng was a little worried that they would not be able to do the job, "Can you all know how to recast? If you can't, I'll hire a silversmith."

Ah Da patted his chest, "We are all familiar."

The remaining five men nodded and followed Ada's words, "Yes."

Pei Cheng found it quite interesting, "I met you when I went to the training camp before, and I thought you were just professional secret guards. I didn't expect you to be able to craft silversmiths?"

Ah Da chuckled, and stroked his stiffly combed hair, "When you come out to eat a meal, you must know how to order other things, otherwise you will only be the same, and you will be at a disadvantage."

The corner of Pei Cheng's mouth twitched, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning."

Ah Da sternly said: "This is the reason given to us by the Pavilion Master. From the first day we entered the training camp, everyone must learn at least three things. We have all learned the silversmith's craft before we can be selected. Come and recast the silver with Madam."

Pei Cheng was really curious now, "There is still such a skill as silversmith in Wuwu Pavilion's training camp?"

The short Ah Er nodded, "Well, besides silversmiths, carpenters, and ventriloquist... there are quite a few."

Pei Cheng's thoughts turned back and forth, "You guys have learned so much."

Thinking about it now, Pei Cheng is still thinking, when he goes back later, he will ask Jiang Yanzhi if he has learned other messy things in the training camp during this time besides learning martial arts.

Ah Da looked at Pei Cheng, and Pei Cheng also looked at Ah Da, the two of them faced each other without speaking.

With a dry cough, Pei Cheng said, "When will it start?"

Ah Da nodded and said, "Since there are blueprints, let's make them according to the blueprints.

Hearing the boss speak, the remaining five people began to work around.

Pei Cheng looked at the six people who were so busy, he just sat on the chair and did nothing to help.Pei Cheng suddenly doubted why he came here in the first place.

Jiang Linzhi said that he asked him to help watch this batch of official silver secretly recast into silver ornaments. At the beginning, Pei Cheng really felt that he had a heavy burden, but now seeing the six secret guard coaches who are working hard in front of him Afterwards, Pei Cheng instantly felt that standing in the silversmith's shop was holding him back.

Dong Lai happily ran around. He boiled a pot of boiling water, brewed the tea leaves he brought, poured a cup and put it in front of Pei Cheng. After that, he poured a few cups of tea and put them in the work area. In front of the dark guard.

Pei Cheng propped his chin, feeling tired.

Physically and mentally tired.

After Dong Lai finished working around, seeing Pei Cheng like this, he thought he was not feeling well, "Is Madam not feeling well?"

Pei Cheng shook his head and said, "Their craftsmanship is very good, they can support this shop."

Dong Lai said with a smile: "Ma'am, I was joking. By the way, Ma'am, there are a few shops in the street ahead that are about to change hands. Ma'am, do you want to go and have a look now?"

Pei Cheng frowned and looked over in confusion.

Dong Lai was startled, and said in a daze: "Could it be that after Madam finished making the silver jewelry, she didn't take it out to buy, but planned to keep it for herself?"

These silver ornaments are basically for women, because very few men are willing to wear these things—even the men and women in Huaguo, where most of the women are male wives, sneer at this kind of gadgets for women.

Pei Cheng didn't intend to take these silver ornaments and wear them himself, but he didn't remember it either. After being reminded by Dong Lai, Pei Cheng said: "Huh? I almost forgot."

Dong Lai breathed a sigh of relief, "Madam, are you going to take a look now?"

Pei Cheng nodded, "Well, let's go and have a look."

Ah Danuan was sweating profusely as he opened the curtain and walked out. Even though it was very hot, he did not take off the gown he was wearing. I don't know if it was because Pei Cheng was at the scene. Ah Da said: "Mrs. , The silversmith shop is very hot now, if you are fine, you should go back first, and we will tell you when this batch is finished."

"Well, I'll go to the street in front of me now to have a look, and if I like it, I'll buy it, and when the time comes, I'll just send the finished silver jewelry to the new shop." Pei Cheng said directly without being pretentious.

Ah Da nodded, stood in front of the silversmith's shop, and turned back after seeing Pei Cheng leaving slowly.

Ah Er stood behind him with a teapot in his hand, and said while drinking, "Madam, is it back? It's really hot here." Ah Da snatched the teapot in Ah Er's hand, and said fiercely, "You How did you come out?"

Ah Er said awkwardly: "I saw you were not here and thought you were coming out to chat with Madam, so I came out too."

"What are you coming out to talk about? What can you talk to Madam about?" Ah Da looked at his brother disliked anyway, "Why don't you work hard and run out, be careful that the pavilion master will kill you."

Ah Er felt aggrieved, and before he could figure out how to refute, he saw Ah Da holding the teapot, and after drinking all the remaining tea, he stuffed the empty teapot into his hand, "Go Boil a pot."

Ah Er felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

Hey, that's weird.

Pei Cheng walked slowly all the way to the street in front of him. As soon as he reached the second shop, he saw a sign hanging at the door and walked in.

Inside the store was only a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper who was doing accounts, "This young man is...?"

Pei Cheng said: "Do you want to change hands of this shop?"

The middle-aged man nodded, walked out from the counter, and looked up and down without any trace of Pei Cheng. Seeing that although this man looked young, he was very well dressed, so the smile on his face became warmer, " Did this young master take a fancy to our shop?"

Pei Cheng looked around, "So what does this place sell?"

"Clothes." The middle-aged man took him around the small shop, "Our shop has good feng shui, and it is also the second shop that opens, if you really want to take over, Mr. We will not bid too much."

"Since the feng shui here is very good and the location is good, why are you planning to change hands?" Pei Cheng looked around, the expression on his face could not be described as liking or hating.

This made the middle-aged man not know what to say for a while.

"Oh, I've been here for too long. My old mother is sick, so I don't plan to continue doing it." The middle-aged man originally planned to play a bitterness card, but seeing that Pei Cheng's expression didn't change, he restrained himself. Looking at the look on his face, he said awkwardly: "Huh?" Pei Cheng said indifferently: "Take me back to think about it first."

The expression on the middle-aged man's face was somewhat disappointed, but he still raised a smile and said, "Well, it's okay, please."

Pei Cheng took Donglai and left.

Donglai said, "Madam, are you going to sell this store?"

"The location of this store is very good, and the specifications are good, but it's not suitable." Pei Cheng didn't really want that store, "It's too small."

Donglai understood Pei Cheng's plan, "There are two shops in front, one sells food, and the other sells clothes." Pei Cheng said, "Is the business here not good? Why are there three shops that want to change hands at once? ?”

Dong Lai was startled, and then he realized, "Don't Madam know?"

Now it was Pei Cheng's turn to be overwhelmed.

Donglai explained, "It's quite far from the city, so people rarely come here. The business here has not been very good, so people often sell the shop."

Pei Cheng laughed and said, "No wonder."

He thought that the shop in such a good location would be resold, and there was probably something tricky about it, but he didn't expect that the reason was this, Pei Cheng was a little surprised.

Donglai continued: "Actually, the shops here are all about the same. Is Madam planning to make the shop bigger?"

Pei Cheng nodded, and said casually: "Anyway, it's just to buy a storefront to store things, and it's not really relying on it for food, so just buy one."

Dong said: "Then let's go to that shop for food later. I visited that shop two days ago and it's quite big." Pei Cheng glanced at him, "When did you come?" Why didn't he Know?

Dong Lai hurriedly explained: "Only two days ago, the servant followed Ah Da and the others to the silversmith's shop and stopped by here to have a look. That's how I found out."

Pei Cheng was worried, and quickly put the matter behind him.

Dong Lai breathed a sigh of relief.
