The Male Wife

After Pei Cheng sat down, Jiang Linzhi put away his hands as if nothing had happened, and said in a cold voice: "Donglai, what's going on outside."

Dong Lai's voice was a little nervous, and he said, "Back to Second Master, just now the wheel accidentally ran over a stone, which startled the carriage."

Jiang Linzhi: "Go ahead."

Jiang Yanzhi was frightened, his hands were tightly clutching Pei Cheng's clothes, his eyes were full of panic.

Pei Cheng touched his head, looked at Jiang Linzhi thoughtfully, and then said, "Second Master, just now...thank you."

Jiang Linzhi ignored him and said, "How long will it take to get to the shop."

Dong Lai raised his voice and said, "Go back to Second Master, there is a restaurant in front of you."

Seeing that Jiang Linzhi didn't want to explain anything, Pei Cheng pursed his lips and didn't ask him any more.Everyone has their own secrets, and he, Pei Cheng, is not the kind of person who must rack his brains to know other people's secrets, so during the next short journey, the compartment was kept absolutely quiet.

The restaurant is located at the junction of the west and the east of the city, bustling streets, pedestrians in a hurry, and customers of the restaurant... The business of the restaurant is very good.

Xiao Er, who was wearing a short coat, hurried over, with a cloth scarf on his shoulders, and greeted profusely, "Four guest officers, I wonder if you are going to stay in a hotel or have dinner?"

Donglai coughed dryly, walked up, and yelled: "You bastard with no eyesight, tell the master to come over, hurry up."

Xiao Er was stunned, no matter how arrogant and domineering the servant of this ordinary noble son would be, he would not yell at others in public, but this servant dared to get angry at himself before the master said anything, could it be a distinguished guest ?

Xiaoer had never met Jiang Linzhi, let alone Donglai, so he couldn't turn his head around for a while, but he had stayed in this restaurant for so long, and he still understood some unwritten rules, so Immediately, he bent down and said more respectfully: "Four masters are waiting, this servant will go to the backyard to find the manager."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Er ran into the backyard at a trot.

The accountant standing at the counter squinted his eyes and looked the four people up and down, but these things had nothing to do with him, so the accountant ignored him and continued to fiddle with the abacus with his head down.

The steward ran out quickly, wearing a green shirt and a long gown, with the calculating eyes of a small businessman. At first, the steward looked puzzled, but when he saw Jiang standing in the middle of the hall with an expressionless face, After Rinzhi, he turned his head, turned around, slapped Xiaoer severely, and said angrily: "You blind dog, this is our second master, you don't have eyes so long, why don't you Hurry up and lead the second master upstairs."

Xiao Er's eyes went black for a while after being thrown away, but her eyesight improved a lot, she hurried over and said cautiously: "Second Master, Second Master, just now I was a slave so I couldn't see Mount Tai, please come here, please come here. "

Jiang Linzhi was not in the mood to see how the steward would "teach" Xiao Er, with a cold face, he raised his feet and walked towards the second floor, followed by Pei Cheng and Jiang Yanzhi.

The steward and the accounting display standing at the counter looked at each other, and then stared at Pei Cheng in unison. Could this be the legendary Jiang Linzhi's husband and wife?

It looks like a normal man too.

In the private room on the second floor, Jiang Linzhi put his right hand on his knee and tapped lightly. Then he glanced indifferently at the steward who smiled at him with a shy face, and said with a half smile: "In the past few years, this is still It's the first time I've come to this restaurant. It's the first time I've met the manager, how can the manager recognize me?"

The steward coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said, "Hehe, the second master really forgets things too much. When the old master passed away two years ago, the slave was also there. At that time, he took a special look at the second master. It's a pity that the second master I have been busy with other things, so this slave dare not come forward to disturb me."

Pei Cheng lowered his eyes, gently blew on the hot tea, and took a small sip. Although the tea here is average, it is at least better than the tea he drank at Pei's house these two days.

The steward didn't get a reply from Jiang Linzhi, so he laughed dryly again, then bowed his body cautiously and said, "Second Lord, are you here to read the account book, or to taste something? Although our restaurant is in Huacheng Not the best, but the taste is the most unique."

Jiang Linzhi still didn't speak.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Pei Cheng glanced sideways at Jiang Linzhi, and said casually, "What signature dishes does any restaurant have?"

"My lord, the chefs in our restaurant are extraordinary. Apart from fish, they are best at cakes." The steward heaved a sigh of relief. If no one has told him, maybe he still doesn't know what to say.Because he was worried that Jiang Linzhi would have opinions on him, the attitude of the manager couldn't help but tense, he said: "If not, the slave will ask the master to serve all the restaurant's signature dishes."

Pei Cheng: "Yes."

The steward and the second child felt relieved.

After getting the exact order, Xiao Er hurried out without looking back, probably going to the kitchen to report the name of the dish.

The steward continued to bow his body and dare not speak.

After the steward's back broke out in cold sweat, Jiang Linzhi said lightly: "You have been in charge of all the big and small things in the restaurant all these years?"

The steward nodded hurriedly, "The slave has been in charge of this restaurant for several years. The water at the end of each year will be sent to the accountant of the Jiang family. This is recorded in the accountant of the Jiang family."

Jiang Linzhi didn't ask where the restaurant's profit money had gone over the years, so the manager naturally wouldn't talk too much about it.

Pei Cheng was vaguely aware of why Jiang Linzhi would give the steward a blow when he appeared, he thought to himself, could it be that Hu Xiayun has swallowed up all the restaurant's profit in recent years?Otherwise, Jiang Linzhi wouldn't deliberately show the manager's face.

In fact, Pei Cheng guessed half right.

The restaurants have accumulated a good reputation in Hwaseong over the years. Although they are not as good as those big restaurants, they make a lot of profits every year, but not all of the money is handed over to the East Hospital.

Although the restaurant is said to be owned by Jiang Linzhi, it only has a name. In fact, all the people in charge of the accounts are Hu Xiayun's people. Naturally, the money they earn every year will not be handed over to the East. In the hands of the hospital.

"Why haven't the restaurant's running accounts been sent to the East Court all these years?" Jiang Linzhi poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and frowned indistinctly.

The steward swallowed in embarrassment, how could he dare to say what it was for.In fact, the management is also very difficult. After all, no matter where it is said, it is his own fault. If he tells the truth, he will be punished by Hu Xiayun, who will repay him. If he tells a lie, the manager does not think that Jiang Linzhi will really believe it. Own.

The steward couldn't help closing his eyes, thinking that Jiang Linzhi would definitely not let him go if the incident was exposed.

Xiao Er pushed open the door and walked in with a tray, followed by these two little girls in green skirts. The three of them lowered their heads, not even daring to look at the situation inside the room, and quickly put all the food on the dining table , and then carefully exited.

The food on the table exudes a tempting aroma.

The three of them had just had their fill not long ago, but they were not hungry, so no one wanted to move their chopsticks.

There was the sound of chairs moving in the room.

Jiang Yanzhi jumped down from the chair, put his hands on Pei Cheng's knees, and looked up at Pei Cheng expectantly.

Pei Cheng looked at him helplessly, and then stretched out his hand towards him. Jiang Yan knew that he was held in Pei Cheng's arms happily, then drooped his head, and soon fell asleep with a face full of happiness.

Pei Cheng stroked Jiang Yanzhi's head repeatedly.

Jiang Linzhi looked away from them lightly, then looked at the steward who was still silent, and repeated it again with a cold face, saying: "Why hasn't the running water of the restaurants been sent to the East Courtyard these years. Since you recognize Whoever I am, you should know who is in charge of this restaurant."

The steward knelt on the ground with a plop, and begged for mercy: "Second Master, spare your life, Second Master, this, this is the order of Xiyuan's master, how dare you disobey, Second Master."

Jiang Linzhi sneered, "Xiyuan? If the people from Xiyuan really asked you to do this, what right do you have to override me to make this decision. You are so brave."

The steward gritted his teeth, thinking that death is better than death, and said: "Second master, this matter is really not the master of the slave. If the second master can think from the perspective of the slave, maybe the second master can Understood me!"

Pei Cheng said indifferently: "This restaurant belongs to the second master, and this Jiang family belongs to Xiyuan. Why do you think they would fight with us for this small restaurant? In charge, could it be that you are trying to provoke right and wrong? Deliberately splashing water Splashed on Xiyuan's body?" The steward looked at Pei Cheng in a daze, he didn't expect Pei Cheng to say this...to put himself in a cruel and unrighteous manner.

Jiang Linzhi was also a little surprised. He always thought that Pei Cheng was the kind of person who didn't understand anything, but now it seems that Pei Cheng didn't understand, not that he didn't want to pay more attention.

Pei Cheng smiled slightly at Jiang Linzhi, and there was no fluctuation in his heart. If he hadn't already had a showdown with Jiang Linzhi, he might not have reached this level at all.

Jiang Linzhi looked back expressionlessly, and didn't reply.

The steward was completely desperate, but he suddenly thought of the right master, Jiang Linzhi, who hadn't expressed his opinion from the beginning to the end, so he hurriedly came up and begged for mercy: "Second master, I have the old and the young, and the whole family Up and down are raised by me alone, I really can't disobey Xiyuan's orders, all the things I did before were out of helplessness, I hope the second master can forgive the villain, and the villain will never do it again Please, please forgive me!" Jiang Linzhi finally replied, he lowered his eyes and looked down at the worrisome steward, his tone was gentle, but the words he uttered were not gentle at all, he said: "I Although I am old, I also want to support my family. There are some people I can't just let go, such as you.

Another example is the two women in Xiyuan who are staring at each other.
