The Male Wife

The cockfighting field is in a relatively quiet city street near the north of the city. Compared with other streets in Hwaseong, it is quieter, and the most important thing is that it is very close to Pei Cheng's new home in the north of the city.

The cockfighting arena is the most popular game place in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital.

However, the aristocratic circle in Hwaseong has not yet become popular. Although some rich and noble people in Hwaseong who have close contacts with the aristocratic circle in the imperial capital know how to play cockfighting, most people often play crickets, and they only know about cockfighting. One does not know the other.

Pei Cheng followed Master Cheng, and Jiang Linzhi walked around the cockfighting arena.

——This cockfighting field not only covers an area as large as two inns, but it also added two floors to the original one.The first floor is a place for ordinary people who can't afford too much money, while the second floor is a separate cockfighting arena, just like the rooms in an inn, each of which is a separate consumption space. The third floor is for the rich who have the most money in their hands.

After seeing the cockfighting field, Young Master Cheng didn't know what he thought of, so he dragged the manager Rang aside, muttering something in a low voice.

Pei Cheng was a little tired, sitting on the chair brought by the steward, his expression was full of exhaustion, he had been thinking about the cockfighting field these days, so he couldn't sleep at night, tossing and turning all night was the cockfighting field Now, after he actually came to the cockfighting arena, he found that what he had been worrying about was nothing more than that.

"Are you sure someone will come here in the future?" Pei Cheng shivered coldly, because this is a cockfighting field, so when it was built, they would worry that if the house is a closed space, there will be a strong smell, so one two three More than half of the floors of the floors are hollowed out.

If the summer is okay, the cold wind will come whistling in from the hollowed-out wall, but the current snowy weather makes Pei Cheng wish to wrap himself in a warm quilt—the inside of the house is suddenly better than the outside. It's still cold.

Jiang Linzhi said lightly: "It's okay. We didn't invest the capital. Even if we really lose money, it doesn't matter." When Master Cheng, who just finished talking about his thoughts with the steward, just heard Jiang Linzhi's words when he came back , Master Cheng paused, his eyes were full of complexity, and he sighed for a long time.

He didn't know what Second Master Jiang was planning.

Pei Cheng is not a simple and stupid person, of course he knows that Jiang Linzhi's words are just to comfort himself, but... Pei Cheng doesn't know how to expose Jiang Linzhi's obvious lie.

Pei Cheng knew that without Jiang Linzhi's help, it would be impossible for Master Cheng to let himself be the shopkeeper for nothing.After all, if it were him, it would be impossible for him, Pei Cheng, to let a person with no experience and no background be in charge of the shopkeeper.This is a very real thing.So Pei Cheng can't pretend that he doesn't understand anything.

But Pei Cheng couldn't figure out why Jiang Linzhi was so kind to him.

Jiang Linzhi saw Pei Cheng's small movements of trembling when he was blown by the cold wind, his eyes darkened, and he said: "It's getting late, it's time to go back.

After finishing speaking, Jiang Linzhi was about to stand up.

Pei Cheng stretched out his hand subconsciously, grabbed Jiang Linzhi's hand, raised his head, looked into Jiang Linzhi's eyes seriously, and said, "You don't need to do this. If you are because of me, you can Don't have to do so much." You don't owe me anything.

Even if Jiang Linzhi was killed in the last life because he didn't arrive in time, Pei Cheng didn't feel that Jiang Linzhi owed him anything.So he never resented Jiang Linzhi.

There may be many people who can't understand Pei Cheng's thoughts.But for Pei Cheng, who has never been seriously protected by anyone since he was a child, he has passed the age of needing protection from others, and he doesn't need to be hypocritical to want others' protection.

So now when Pei Cheng faced Jiang Linzhi's kindness to him, he was at a loss except for being touched.He didn't know why Jiang Linzhi was so kind to him, so when Pei Cheng thought about it, he always felt irritable.

——Because he was inexplicably afraid of Jiang Linzhi's kindness to him, which had some other purpose.

But Pei Cheng forgot that he has no money, no status, no talent, and no place worthy of being used by others. If Jiang Linzhi really has him in his heart, how could he follow him in everything?

Jiang Linzhi's expression was quite good-looking at first, but when he heard Pei Cheng's words that almost had nothing to do with him, he immediately shook his hand away, and said coldly: "Pei Cheng, if you have a little heart, things will be fine. It won’t go this far.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Linzhi turned around and left without saying hello to Young Master Cheng.

Standing in the corner, Young Master Cheng watched what happened between Jiang Linzhi and Pei Cheng, pursed his lips, and a glint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Pei Cheng understood the meaning of Jiang Linzhi's words. He stood up and just saw Young Master Cheng standing not far away. It's a conversation.I just don't know how much the other party has heard. Young Master Cheng took the lead and said, "Mrs. Jiang, if possible, can I have a private conversation with Second Master Jiang. Madam Jiang, don't worry, I won't waste too much time."

Before Pei Cheng could reply, he saw Young Master Cheng eagerly raised his foot and walked in the direction where Jiang Linzhi left just now.

In fact, what Jiang Linzhi said just now was correct. If Pei Cheng had the heart, maybe the matter would not have developed to this point.

Back then, if Pei Cheng had taken the initiative to propose marriage to Third Master Jiang, maybe he would have married Third Master Jiang instead of Second Master Jiang.Back then, if Pei Cheng had taken the initiative to negotiate with Second Master Jiang, he would not have been driven to a side courtyard for several years.Back then, if Pei Cheng hadn't chosen the Pei family, he wouldn't have been caught by Hu Xiayun and ended up not only hurting himself, but also Jiang Yanzhi.

But God took pity on him and gave him a chance to be reborn.

However, Pei Cheng's lack of self-improvement has kept him in a passive state since his rebirth.In fact, if Pei Cheng could care a little more about Jiang Yan, Jiang Yanzhi would not be bullied over and over again—Pei Cheng knew that he had a few more years of "foretelling" opportunities than others, but he didn't take advantage of it. However, even after being reborn, he still didn't do well.

So Pei Cheng understood what Jiang Linzhi said.

But the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. If he, Pei Cheng, can directly climb to the pinnacle of life when he is reborn, and if he tramples under the feet of all the people who wronged him and harmed him in the previous life, he will still be reduced to being victimized by others in the previous life. die?

Pei Cheng had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Outside the door, beside the carriage.

Young Master Cheng simply and quickly told Jiang Linzhi all the deficiencies found in various places after he just finished the cockfighting field, as well as the things that need to be replenished in the later stage. No more, Young Master Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi with a complicated expression, and said: " Second Lord, the cockfight is of great importance, if Madam, he..."

"He will take care of himself." Jiang Linzhi's eyes froze, and he fixedly looked at Young Master Cheng.A layer of cold sweat immediately appeared on Young Master Cheng's back, and Jiang Linzhi looked away, "What should I say and what should not be said, don't I need to teach you?"

Young Master Cheng said earnestly: "Second Master, it's the slave who made a slip of the tongue.

"From now on, all the account books of the cockfighting farm will be handed over to him, no matter whether it is a loss or a profit, there is no need to hide it from him." Jiang Linzhi said, "But if something goes wrong with him, Cheng Yi, you know what to do."

Cheng Yi knew that it was Jiang Linzhi who gave him a chance, and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Second Master. I have taken care of the ups and downs of this cockfighting arena, and they are all ours. No matter what happens in the future, Madam's Safety must come first.”

Jiang Linzhi nodded.

Cheng Yi heaved a sigh of relief, the second master started preparations for this cockfight half a year ago, all the shady deals and obstacles under the ground have been arranged, and they are waiting for the opening of the next year, but he did not expect that the second master would spend A lot of time and energy in the cockfighting arena was transferred to Pei Cheng in this way.

If it is said that the second master has no real feelings for Pei Cheng, Cheng Yi will not believe it no matter what.

At this moment, Pei Cheng didn't know that the two outside said they were partners, but secretly they were talking about him as a master-servant. indifferent.

Jiang Rinzhi felt a not-so-friendly gaze, and he followed the gaze without any trace, just in time to see the undisguised sneer at the corner of Pei Cheng's mouth, and his already bad mood turned for the better in an instant.

Pei Cheng subconsciously withdrew his gaze.

Cheng Yi was sensitive to the change of Jiang Linzhi's mood. He looked at Jiang Linzhi, but heard Jiang Linzhi's not-so-gentle voice saying coldly: "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Yi hurriedly looked away and said, "Then Second Master, I'll go back first."

Jiang Linzhi agreed casually, ignoring Cheng Yi who was about to leave.

Not long after Cheng Yi left, Jiang Linzhi waited again, and Pei Cheng came over and said, "Go back."

Pei Cheng hesitated, "Where's Young Master Cheng?"

"He went back in advance. It's getting late, let's go back first, and you can come here after everything is done here." Jiang Linzhi didn't even look at Pei Cheng, "I'll take you to see the one on the street later shop."

"Get two at the same time, I'm afraid I won't be in time." Pei Cheng subconsciously refused.

Jiang Linzhi turned around, frowned, looked at Pei Cheng, and said, "You didn't want to do anything before you started."

"No. I just haven't accepted it yet." A gust of cold wind blew, and Pei Cheng shivered from the stimulation, his eyes went blank, "Forget it, let's go and have a look now."

He is somewhat resigned to his fate.

If Jiang Linzhi really wants to do it, it's not really impossible.

Jiang Linzhi's original stern eyes dimmed, he stared at Pei Cheng up and down, and suddenly said sharply: "Pei Cheng."

Pei Cheng had just blown the cold wind, dizzy and dizzy, and his eyes were blurred when he looked at the road. When he heard Jiang Linzhi's voice, he frowned and said weakly: "What's wrong?" The next second, Jiang Linzhi's hand was covered On Pei Cheng's forehead.

Pei Cheng shivered, the temperature of the man's hand was very low, making him shiver uncontrollably. "You have a fever." Jiang Linzhi stared at Pei Cheng and said in a deep voice.
