The Male Wife

Pei Cheng was so frightened that he almost jumped up when he heard Jiang Linzhi's words. He looked at Jiang Linzhi in disbelief, and lowered his voice, "Jiang Linzhi, are you crazy?"

Cockfighting in Huaguo is not actually a prohibited entertainment item, but it requires too much investment in the early stage, which made it difficult for Pei Cheng to react for a while—he thought that Jiang Linzhi simply didn't want to do it because it was related to eating As a result, he did not expect his appetite to be so big.

"Second Lord, you have such a big appetite, haven't you considered that this is impossible." Pei Cheng almost rejected Jiang Linzhi immediately, telling him not to think about such a thing.

But when the words came to his mouth, Pei Cheng felt that he still had to save some face for Jiang Linzhi, so he had to suppress his emotions and try his best to keep his attitude calm, "Although the annual profits of the three shops were objective , The location of the shop can also make them sell for a good price. But... this does not mean that after we take down the shop at the junction of the west and the east of the city, we will still have money left over for you to use for cockfighting."

"Cockfighting is a very popular game in the rich circles of Huaguo." Jiang Linzhi said lightly, "If you don't want to find children, you can't catch wolves. If you want more money, you have to invest more money in the early stage. "

"But this has to be done according to one's ability." Pei Cheng is unwilling to continue talking. From the attitude of the other party, it can be seen that Jiang Linzhi now sincerely wants to open a cockfighting arena, and it is impossible to listen to his own. Dissuade, so Pei Cheng no longer tried to dissuade.

Pei Cheng was very annoyed, and said directly: "I don't agree with this matter."

Jiang Linzhi raised his eyes, and glanced at Pei Cheng with his dark and deep eyes. Only one look made Pei Cheng calm down in an instant. After Pei Cheng stopped talking, he said: "I have thought about these questions for a long time. Passed. If we use the original capital in our hands, it is far from possible to do it."

"Then what do you mean by that?" Pei Cheng sneered, "Since you know you don't have the ability, why do you have this proposal?"

"Pei Cheng, now is not the time for you to be awkward." Jiang Linzhi frowned, scolding Pei Cheng in a serious tone for the first time.

Pei Cheng was startled, his earlobe felt hot, and he stood up abruptly, "I'll go out first."

Jiang Linzhi looked at Pei Cheng's leaving back motionlessly, pursed his lips, "Pei Cheng."

When Pei Cheng walked to the door, he paused, opened the door and walked out.

After the unhappy conversation, Pei Cheng didn't have the mood to continue shopping, so everyone went back along the way they came in silence.

That night, the carriage carrying Jiang Linzhi and Pei Cheng's family of three had just returned to Jiang's house, and the carriage carrying Uncle Jiang's family of three also arrived at the gate of Jiang's house.

Hu Xiayun was probably stimulated by the slap of Uncle Jiang when he was at her mother's house today. After getting off the carriage, he didn't pay attention to Uncle Jiang as usual, and went back to Xiyuan with a cold face.

Jiang Qi'er followed Uncle Jiang, seeing this, couldn't help looking up at Uncle Jiang, and whispered: "Father, mother is angry."

Uncle Jiang flicked the hem of his clothes coldly, "She's not angry, she's just going crazy, leave her alone, don't recruit her tonight, let her reflect on herself."

"Yeah." Jiang Qi'er said dejectedly.

Hu Xiayun returned to his yard angrily, waited for a long time, but only learned from the mouth of the maid that Uncle Jiang actually entered the yard of his concubine who lived elsewhere in Xiyuan tonight, and immediately put the teacup in front of him angrily. Throwing it on the ground, the hot tea spilled all over the floor, she said angrily: "How dare he treat me like this! If it wasn't for Qi'er, why would I have become like this? This man...no one in the Jiang family has a conscience It's all heartless!" The maid was trembling with fright, this Hu Xiayun usually rewards the maids with a lot of jewelry and silver, and they are not stingy at all, so everyone is willing to go to serve in front of Hu Xiayun, but... ...This is only limited to when Hu Xiayun has a good temper.

If Hu Xiayun had a bad temper, they wouldn't dare to join him. After all, that Qiuyi almost made Hu Xiayun freeze to death because he climbed onto Uncle Jiang's bed.

But... a hint of envy flashed in the maid's eyes. Now that this autumn clothes is their master, life must be better than those servants who are still struggling.

Hu Xiayun lost his temper for a long time, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Go out and find Chunyi." The maid promised and ran out to find Chunyi.

Not long after, Chun Yi, who was summoned, ran over in a hurry, and ran out in a hurry after a while, with a hurried expression.

I don't know what Hu Xiayun asked Chunyi to do.

That night, Jiang Yanzhi went back to the room early to sleep after eating. When he returned to the room, he couldn't open his eyes and nodded in sleepiness.

After he fell asleep, Pei Cheng sat on the edge of the bed in silence for a long time, sighed, got up, looked at the snowy weather outside, pursed his lips and went out.

When Pei Cheng walked slowly to the next yard, he found that there was no servant guarding Jiang Linzhi's yard outside. Pei Cheng paused, but he was not afraid. He went directly to the door, stood at the door, and stretched out his hand , Knock Knock. "Come in." Pei Cheng opened the door and walked in. Jiang Linzhi was still the same as he was during the day today. He was sitting quietly on a chair and looking at Pei Cheng. sweet cake.

The sweet cake was still steaming.

Pei Cheng knew that the man was waiting for him on purpose, so he walked up awkwardly, sat opposite the man, reached out for a sweet cake absently, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and firmly said, "You know I will meet you tonight Come."

"I haven't finished talking about today's matter." Jiang Linzhi only gave an answer that was not an answer. He took out three pieces of paper from the side like a magic trick, handed them in front of Pei Cheng, and said, "I'm already optimistic about the store. , There are a few shops here that are planning to go out, you decide which one you want, and I will send someone to do it tomorrow."

Pei Cheng didn't look at it. From what happened this morning, he could see that Jiang Linzhi was actually a person with more ideas than anyone else. He already had an idea, which made Pei Cheng feel that his opinion was not important at all.

Naturally, he didn't want to get involved either.

"Jiang Linzhi, I know what you mean." Pei Cheng lowered his eyes. He didn't understand today, but after he came back, he kept thinking, and finally figured out what Jiang Linzhi wanted to do. He said, "You It’s nothing more than wanting me to take full responsibility.”

Jiang Lin was stunned, and laughed dumbly, "Let me tell you about my plan first. In fact, someone approached me a few years ago. He wanted to open a cockfighting arena, and he was willing to contribute money and efforts but not to show up. Pei Cheng, you know Do I mean?"

Pei Cheng frowned, "Who is the other party?"

"He should be still in the imperial capital now, and he will come to Huacheng after two days." Jiang Linzhi said solemnly, his serious appearance made Pei Cheng believe it, "As for my plan to be in the city at the junction of the west and the east of the city. I want to open a shop that is similar to a cockfighting shop."

"You open a cockfight in the city?" Pei Cheng only thought that Jiang Linzhi was crazy, "Aren't you really crazy?"

"What do you think the rich and young in Hwaseong like to do most?" Jiang Linzhi didn't answer Pei Cheng's sarcasm directly, "Fighting crickets, fighting tea, drinking and chatting..."

Pei Cheng stopped talking.

Speaking of this level, if Pei Cheng doesn't understand what Jiang Linzhi means, the years he has lived longer than others are really useless.

Before tonight, Pei Cheng always felt that Jiang Linzhi was just quieter than ordinary people, and his temper was always uncertain.And other than that, it's nothing like the others.But now Pei Cheng found that Jiang Linzhi was very smart.

In Pei Cheng's memory, the last life was probably this year, when a cockfighting field appeared out of thin air in Hwaseong, a more addictive entertainment than cricket fighting.At first, everyone didn't think so, but as time passed, when the cockfighting field completely became a recreational place for rich and young people in Huaguo, some people wanted to follow suit, but they all failed.

And the reason is nothing more than that those rich young men who have money to squander and time to squander have long been accustomed to meeting in groups at the original cockfighting ground.So naturally, other cockfighting farms will not be favored.

Pei Cheng was a little moved.

"Cockfighting is a fashionable thing in the wealthy circles of the imperial capital, but the imperial capital is far away from Huacheng, and people here are used to fighting crickets." Jiang Linzhi accepted Pei Cheng's sideways frankly, "As long as you Yes, it can be done in a few years, when you only need to be in charge of the shopkeeper and other things in the cockpit will be in charge of."

Pei Cheng was naturally moved.But the vigilance that Pei Cheng should have is still there, "Since everything has been prepared, why am I the shopkeeper?"

Jiang Linzhi seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure in his heart. Hearing what Pei Cheng said, he said directly: "You are half of the Jiang family. In this Huacheng, you can find the most suitable person at present."

Pei Cheng was silent.

He is a husband and wife married into the Jiang family, so he is naturally half of the Jiang family.So the other party came to him, not only because half of the Jiang family's title was hung on his head, but also because there would be no trouble finding him?

One by one, there are three people from the Jiang family to protect them, but it is not the Jiang family.Now that he has the amulet, he won't help the Jiang family to monopolize anything.It has to be said that the person behind the imperial capital, whom he had never met before, really had a good plan.

But Pei Cheng didn't know.

If things were really that simple, why was he not found in the previous life?

Seeing that Pei Cheng believed his words, Jiang Linzhi picked up the teacup, the tea was already cold, but the man didn't care at all and took a sip, his eyes flashed to cover up the complicated look.
