The Male Wife

The next day, the guests who came to Pei's house to congratulate came one after another. Pei's father and mother were busy entertaining the guests in the front hall, and Brother Pei was also busy in the front hall, from morning till night.

Not far away, Mother Pei saw the three of Jiang Linzhi sitting far away in the corner, the corners of her mouth drooped, and she called the servant angrily, and asked him to call the three of them to the front hall to have dinner with the guests.

At least let outsiders know that this year their family really has a few "distinguished guests" from the Jiang family.

The servant said cautiously: "Second Young Master, Second Uncle, Madam said that you can eat in the compartment in the front hall."

Pei Cheng was lazily leaning on the bench, and Jiang Yanzhi was sitting in his arms, cute and clingy, so cute, Pei Cheng stretched out his hand, stroking Jiang Yanzhi's hair time after time. Knowing how long it took, Pei Cheng lowered his head and asked in Jiang Yanzhi's ear, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm hungry."

"I didn't eat anything in the morning, so I'm sure I'm going to be hungry now." Pei Cheng patted his head, his tone was helpless and indulgent, he turned his head to look at Jiang Linzhi, and said, "Second Lord, should we go to the front hall for dinner now?"

After what happened last night, Pei's father and Pei's mother didn't talk to them today, but this made Pei Cheng feel more at ease. He didn't want to pretend to be brothers and sisters with them in front of everyone, and the family was harmonious. .

Pei Cheng glanced at the lively front hall, and suddenly became bored.But today is Father Pei's birthday after all, even if he didn't like it, he couldn't make it too obvious, so he stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said, "Second Lord, let's go."

Donglai took a step forward, and quickly reached out to hold Jiang Yanzhi.

The servants lead the way.

Uncle Jiang saw the couple from a distance, and he didn't even notice how ugly Hu Xiayun's expression was beside him, so he walked up and said, "Just now I was looking around, why didn't I see you, so you were hiding here It's clean."

Jiang Linzhi raised his eyes, hid Pei Cheng behind his back without any trace, and said, "Brother seems to have come a little early today."

"Very early?" Uncle Jiang chuckled twice. He noticed Jiang Linzhi's slight movement and frowned. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't say anything.

Hu Xiayun walked over. She didn't hear what the three of them were talking about just now, but seeing Uncle Jiang smiling happily, she rolled her eyes, walked up on her own, and said, "What are you doing standing here? Find a place to sit down and have a good chat." Pei Cheng was dragged by Hu Xiayun's sleeves and walked to a chair to sit down. With a sullen face, he pulled Hu Xiayun's hand away and said, "Sister-in-law, men and women are different. "

Hu Xiayun seemed to have heard some joke, covered his lips and laughed for a long time, and then seeing that there was no smile on Pei Cheng's face, he could only withdraw his hand in embarrassment, and said: "Pei Cheng, what you said is out of the ordinary .We are a family, and you are not one of them...Even if outsiders saw it, they would not say anything. You can rest assured."

Pei Cheng's complexion is not good-looking. From Pei Xiaomei to Hu Xiayun, these people do not regard themselves as an upright man from the bottom of their hearts. These people... can really stab his heart unceremoniously.

Jiang Linzhi seemed to have noticed something, he looked at Pei Cheng's side face, logically speaking he should deny Hu Xiayun face to face, but for some reason, he didn't say anything.

Uncle Jiang sat down on his own. The front hall was full of small shop owners in Hwaseong, so not only were there many people coming, but the banquet in the front hall was also very noisy.

Father Pei should be really busy, otherwise, if Uncle Jiang appeared, he would definitely come over to socialize with Uncle Jiang alone for a long time, but time has passed for a long time, and it was almost time for dinner, so Father Pei hastily bypassed the noise In the endless front hall, he walked into the cubicle and said, "Master Jiang, I..."

After a pause, Father Pei looked dissatisfied at Pei Cheng who was buried in his meal, frowned and said: "Pei Cheng, why are you still here and eating, your elder brother and mother are going crazy outside, you actually Still want to eat here.”

Hu Xiayun put down the bowl and chopsticks, carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a towel, and looked at Pei Cheng and Pei's father with a half-smile—she had heard before that the relationship between Pei Cheng and the Pei family was not very good, and it could even be said to be bad. the point.But she always thought it was fabricated by "elaboration", but now it seems that those rumors are not purely fabricated.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiayun couldn't help casting admiring glances at the "fine work" that sent a letter to him yesterday. "Undercover" Dong Lai served Jiang Linzhi for dinner without being humble, completely ignoring the admiring gaze Hu Xiayun cast on him.

Pei Cheng finished all the rice in the bowl, then picked up the hot soup that had been served earlier, and drank it one mouthful. He was not angry when he heard Father Pei's voice of picking bones in the egg, and waited for him to drink the soup quickly. After drinking it all, he said: "Father, you just said that my mother and elder brother are entertaining guests outside, so there is no need for me."

Father Pei frowned, and just wanted to say a few more words to demonstrate his authority as a father, but when he heard Pei Cheng's next words, he immediately shut his mouth, feeling a little guilty for no reason.

Pei Cheng said: "Furthermore, I never went out before I got married, and I never went home after I got married. Even if I really went out to entertain them, they probably wouldn't know who I am."

This is a bit ugly to say.

Father Pei glanced at Pei Cheng and saw that his face was calm and he didn't have any superfluous emotions, so he felt even more guilty. He really didn't care about this son before, and sometimes he even thought about it. It would be great if Pei Cheng died of an accident as soon as he was born.

After all, in this way, their Pei family will not be ashamed for giving birth to a little monster who is neither male nor female.

Pei Cheng raised his eyes, looked at Father Pei, and said, "Father, I still think it's better to stay here. What do you think?"

Father Pei waved his hand wearily and said, "It's up to you."

After finishing speaking, Father Pei didn't care about what to say to Uncle Jiang, so he turned around and left. His back was a little hurried, and he seemed even more guilty.

Pei Cheng looked at the back of Father Pei's leaving, and a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, then picked up the soup bowl again, and drank slowly.

It's a little quiet in the cubicle.

Hu Xiayun was full, and she was a little curious about the scene of Father Pei's inexplicable compromise just now, and she is not the kind of person who can keep her thoughts in her heart, so she said directly: "Pei Cheng, just now you said you didn't get married before you got married. How did you go out, this...is not really possible."

"He has a quiet temper." Pei Cheng said indifferently, he probably expected what Hu Xiayun was going to ask, and said to himself: "I have been in poor health since I got married, so I have no time to go home."

Hu Xiayun laughed dryly. She must have thought of how she tricked Pei Cheng to bring Jiang Yanzhi to live in a side courtyard a few years ago, so she was guilty and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Pei Cheng pretended not to see Hu Xiayun's expression, and continued on his own: "When I returned to the main house these days, my body was slowly recovering, so I was able to go home and have a look. Speaking of which, I have to thank you My sister-in-law asked me to come back, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with my father's birthday this year."

Hu Xiayun's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said as if to cover up: "My brother and sister are serious, how can I let my brother and sister come back to live. This is not what my mother meant. If it wasn't for my mother's order, how could I let you come back to live with me?" Just come back and live. Grandpa, do you think so?"

Uncle Jiang put down the wine glass heavily and made a noise in the compartment. Uncle Jiang glanced at Hu Xiayun coldly, as if he was laughing at her overreaching behavior to argue with Pei Cheng just now, but for some reason, Jiang The uncle did not utter the ridicule, but changed the subject and said, "Are you planning to stay for a few more days, or are you planning to go back together today?" Pei Cheng didn't care, but he still remembered the last time he told Jiang Linzhi I want to go to see the three shops together, so I said without hesitation: "I originally planned to go back in two days, but now I want to go out for a walk, so...Second Master?"

Jiang Linzhi put down the bowls and chopsticks in a slow manner. He should be full, and his eyes flashed gentleness for the first time. He said, "You go back first. I want to take them out for a walk."

Hu Xiayun said enviously: "Speaking of which, my uncle and I haven't gone out alone for a long time. Over the years, the business of my uncle's shop has become more and more busy, Qi'er is also busy with her studies, and I have to slowly accept the chores in the backyard at home. There is no time left. It is better to be young, you are young, and you have time to go out."

Pei Cheng saw that Hu Xiayun was sincerely envious, but more of it was showing off.

"It's not for other things." Jiang Linzhi didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and directly stated their purpose, "Pei Cheng likes to eat sweet cakes. I remember that the pastry chefs in the restaurants my father gave me were very good, so I want to take him to have a look."

Hu Xiayun shut her mouth in an instant, and she immediately understood that Jiang Linzhi's implication was that she wanted to go back to the three shops. She coughed dryly and pretended to be stupid: "Really. That's good, that's good, hehehe .”

There was an indifferent smile on the corner of Pei Cheng's mouth.

Hu Xiayun shut her mouth in embarrassment, thinking that Pei Cheng is really a scourge, he just moved back here not long ago, and he still wants to take back those three shops.And Jiang Linzhi, a sick young man, still pampered him, really... What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid.

The smile on Uncle Jiang's face remained the same. He didn't pay attention to those three shops at first, but the old lady and Hu Xiayun didn't know what they did in secret, so he temporarily accepted those few shops that originally belonged to Jiang Linzhi. shop.

If Jiang Linzhi really wants to take back those three shops, Uncle Jiang would like it very much. He has a lot of things to do these days, and he really doesn't care about those shops that only earn word of mouth but don't make money.

So Uncle Jiang didn't care about it, but said relaxedly: "The pastry chef in that restaurant is really good at craftsmanship. If Pei Cheng likes the sweet cakes there, he will send his servants to fetch some freshly baked pastries every day from now on. taste."

Pei Cheng smiled slightly, but did not express his opinion.

Uncle Jiang didn't care about this, and continued to drink the wine in his glass.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Hu Xiayun almost gritted her teeth in anger. She glared fiercely at Pei Cheng, thinking that Jiang Linzhi was so useless that even her own wife couldn't control it. , actually let him seduce other people's husbands!
