The Male Wife

Chapter 256

When Pei Cheng got up the next morning, he saw Jiang Linzhi sitting by the bed reading a book. Before he could get up, he heard Jiang Linzhi seriously say: "The new emperor is the first prince, and the second prince stayed up all night last night. He escaped from the palace, and no one knows where he went until now."

Pei Cheng was startled: "No one knows where he went until now? Then where will he go?"

Jiang Linzhi put down the book in his hand, glanced at Pei Cheng who was puzzled, leaned over, kissed Pei Cheng's mouth, and then said vaguely: "The first prince and the second prince have been together for years because of The battle for the position of the crown prince is fierce, so the second prince will definitely not return to the imperial capital easily. The new emperor ascends the throne, in order to show his own mind, although he will not do anything to the second prince, there is a great possibility Will be sent to a remote fief."

Pei Cheng was not very interested in these battles for the throne before, and naturally he is not really interested now. He said: "I left the palace overnight last night. At night, the imperial capital city never opens the city gates." Yes, so now the second prince will definitely stay in the imperial capital and will not leave. If the new emperor really wants to find him, he will definitely be able to find him. I am afraid that even if the new emperor really finds the second prince, he will not send him He took it back."

Jiang Linzhi said seriously: "If it was before, the new emperor would have a great possibility not to bring the second prince back when he finds the second prince, but it is different now. Let's go, now because the national treasury is seriously unable to make up for the military pay needed by the front barracks, starting this morning, the new emperor began to collect money, from civil and military officials to businessmen with small shops, as long as they are merchants, they need to pay a certain amount. "

Pei Cheng frowned, "Is it so easy to take away the treasury's money?"

Jiang Linzhi smiled and said nothing. Even if the second prince does not take away the money from the treasury, the new emperor will be enthroned soon, and the money from the exploiting merchants will be indispensable. He changed the subject, "The Wuwu Pavilion took out 3 taels, and the Chunwanglou took out the money." 1 taels, and Baihu Tea House took out 1 taels. The money is neither too much nor too little, neither too eye-catching nor too little."

Pei Cheng has no objection to Jiang Linzhi's decision, but when he thinks that the treasury has lost so much money in vain because of the escape of the second prince, he has to take it out of his own treasury, and he feels extremely distressed, "Is there still a cockfighting field? "

"How much to donate to the cockfighting farm is up to you to decide." Jiang Linzhi said with a smile.

Pei Cheng didn't react at first, but after seeing the faint smile on Jiang Linzhi's face, he quickly realized, "I thought you were joking when you said you would give me the cockfighting arena."

Jiang Linzhi never expected that Pei Cheng would be smart once. This Pei Cheng is very smart in front of right and wrong, but he is a bit dull when it comes to money, but fortunately, as long as he is by his side and pays more attention, there will be no major problems, "Cockfighting The profit book of the market this year was not placed on your desk before, why, didn’t you read it?”

Pei Cheng has been thinking about going to sleep these days, why would he want to go to his desk to look at the account book, he yawned, and opened his hands to ask Jiang Linzhi to help him dress, "These people have been drowsy all the time, I don't have a long time to be awake, so I don't have time to look at the books."

After finishing speaking, Pei Cheng suddenly became interested, "Just hand over the account books to the housekeeper, but you tell me, where do you put all the profits from the cockfight?"

"It's all in the warehouse at home. I'll take you to see it when I have time next time." Jiang Linzhi skillfully helped Pei Cheng get dressed, then gently touched his swollen belly, and pulled Pei Cheng out of the room. Hugged him horizontally on the bed, and said: "I don't think you are fat with such a big belly." If you really got fat, you wouldn't say that. "It may be an inborn factor. Pei Cheng was not fat when Jiang Yanzhi was born, and naturally he will not be fat to any extent now," the doctor said last time, and it was about a few days ago. "

Pei Cheng's words came out of nowhere, but Jiang Linzhi instantly understood what he meant. Jiang Linzhi lowered his eyes, sat Pei Cheng on a chair in the outer room, and said, "These few days I will be by your side, don't be afraid."

Pei Cheng was indeed a little scared.

When Jiang Yanzhi was born a few years ago, Pei Cheng almost lost half his life, and then someone stuffed something into his mouth, Pei Cheng gained some strength, otherwise he would not have the strength to put Jiang Yan in the end. Knowing that he was born, he ended up with one dead body and two lives.

"I remember when I gave birth to Jiang Yanzhi, I almost died, but when it came to the critical moment, the midwife seemed to stuff something into my mouth, and then I gave birth with some strength." Pei Cheng lamented back then As he was talking, Pei Cheng suddenly realized, "The mother-in-law who gave birth seemed to stuff ginseng into my mouth?"

Because he hadn't paid attention to the past these years, Pei Cheng naturally ignored that the mother-in-law who gave birth back then put ginseng into his mouth.

Only then did Pei Cheng realize, "I was born Jiang Yanzhi in the East Hospital back then, but I remember that no one from the Jiang family came to see me, neither did my parents. I was alone with my mother-in-law. , why is there ginseng?"

Pei Cheng's identity was not taken seriously in Jiang's family, so when he was giving birth, Pei Cheng clearly remembered that he had asked the maid who guarded the courtyard, and they also said at the time that on the day of Pei Cheng's delivery, To the old lady of Jiang's family, to Hu Xiayun, they didn't come to see Pei Cheng at all.

And no one from Pei's family came to visit Pei Cheng.

Then the problem came, Pei Cheng’s yard did not store ginseng at that time, and the status of midwife mother-in-law obviously couldn’t get ginseng, then, who gave that ginseng that was almost half-lifed for Pei Cheng for a long time?

Jiang Linzhi looked down at Pei Cheng, his eyes were very complicated.

At first, Pei Cheng couldn't react in a daze, but under Jiang Linzhi's gaze, he finally realized that he almost jumped up, "You gave me that ginseng back then?"

Jiang Linzhi pursed his lips, asked Pei Cheng to sit down, then put the hot porridge brought in by the servants in front of Pei Cheng, let him drink a few sips, and then said slowly: "At the beginning, I was waiting outside the yard. Then, the servant girl came out and said, you are running out of strength, so I asked someone to get a ten-year-old ginseng."

Pei Cheng's expression became more complicated, "I..." Pei Cheng hadn't thought about what happened back then, so he hadn't thought about why he suddenly had strength at the moment of life and death.

After all, Pei Cheng never thought that Jiang Linzhi would care about him kindly at the beginning, but now after talking about the matter with Jiang Linzhi, after Pei Cheng knew what the life-saving food he ate was, he knew After Jiang Linzhi saved his benefactor, Pei Cheng thought about it carefully, and he was not surprised.

It seems that Jiang Linzhi exists all the time in Pei Cheng's life now.

No matter what Pei Cheng does or says, it seems that even if Jiang Linzhi is not by his side, Pei Cheng can always feel that Jiang Linzhi is always standing by his side.This feeling is very wonderful.

Pei Cheng said: "I chewed a few mouthfuls of ginseng, and then got angry for more than half a month. Do you know about this?"

Ginseng is warm in nature, and Pei Cheng's body was weak at all after giving birth, so he ate a few mouthfuls of ginseng whole, which formed a virtual fire in his body.Normally, it would be fine to simply eat something, but at that time, Pei Cheng had just given birth, so he had to take care of his body for a long time before he recovered.

"I know." Jiang Linzhi didn't completely ignore Pei Cheng who lived in the yard next door to him at that time. He was often busy with the inorganic pavilion and the tea house during that time, so he would be away from Jiang's house for a long time , but even so, Jiang Linzhi would still read the report on Pei Cheng's daily behavior sent by his subordinates every few days.

It can be said that even though Jiang Linzhi secretly left Jiang's house and was busy in the imperial capital when Pei Cheng just finished giving birth, he knew about Huacheng and Pei Cheng all the time.

Until today, Pei Cheng finally uncovered the mystery of the year.

He just knew that Jiang Linzhi was always observing him in secret, no matter in the last life or in this life, but he didn't know his own affairs. Jiang Linzhi knew everything about him.

Pei Cheng suddenly remembered another thing. He drank the porridge in the bowl and said, "Then why didn't you stop me when Hu Xiayun planned to drive me out of Jiang's house? If you were willing to speak at that time, no matter how powerful Hu Xiayun It won't do anything to me either."

Jiang Linzhi's eyes darkened, "Back then, things in the imperial capital were very busy, and you rarely came back on weekdays. In addition, you often had a bad relationship with Hu Xiayun in the Jiang family, so I thought you would be willing to leave Jiang Home."

Pei Cheng lowered his eyes, started to eat the second bowl of porridge, and said vaguely while eating: "If I really wanted to leave, I would not have chosen to marry in."

Now that things have passed for so many years, Pei Cheng and Jiang Linzhi didn't really want to talk about what happened back then, so they just chatted casually and didn't talk for a long time.

In fact, when Jiang Linzhi and Pei Cheng reconciled last time, the two made an agreement that as long as it was something that happened back then, no matter whose fault it was, they just discussed not to vent their anger or get angry.

Let alone a cold war because of this.

Pei Cheng doesn't like the cold war, and Jiang Linzhi doesn't like the cold war either.

While the two were talking, Cheng San walked in from the outside and said respectfully, "Master, the young master is here, and he said he has something to discuss with you and his wife."

Pei Cheng, who had a headache when he heard Chu Jingtian's name, looked at Jiang Linzhi and said, "This is your guest, you can go."

Jiang Linzhi wanted Pei Cheng to walk more, so he didn't express it. He just asked Pei Cheng to finish the porridge in the bowl, and then dragged Pei Cheng outside silently.

Pei Cheng turned his head three times at a step.
