The Male Wife

Chapter 221 Reconciliation

The next night, Jiang Linzhi really wanted to take Pei Cheng to see the once-a-year grand event in South China City, the Lotus Festival.

On the night of the Lotus Festival, the entire Lotus Street was full of pedestrians. Compared with the Lantern Festival in Hwaseong, this grand scene is really... the same crowd.

Because it was late, when everyone came to Lianhua Street, Jiang Linzhi immediately gave up this decision after looking at the dense crowd on the Lianhua River from a distance. Although the Lotus Festival is beautiful, it is not as good as Pei Cheng. .

But in order not to be disappointed, Jiang Linzhi thought for a while, and took everyone to sit down in an elegant seat on the second floor of a restaurant on the Lianhua River.During the Lotus Festival, people usually choose to go to the Lianhua River to see the lotus and river lanterns. Few people choose to sit in the restaurant, so when Jiang Linzhi took Pei Cheng and his party to the restaurant, although the first floor There are a lot of people, but there is still a lot of open space in the private seats on the second floor.

Xiaoer has sharp eyes, saw that Jiang Linzhi's group of guests were well dressed, and knew that they were either rich or expensive, so he immediately led them to the private seats on the second floor, and specially helped them choose a private seat on the Lianhua River , Open the window and you can see the Lianhua River outside. This location is very good.

Dong Lai took out money from his purse, and specially stuffed some more money into Xiao Er, which was a reward for Xiao Er's sense of humor.

Xiao Er's eyes were crooked when he smiled.

Pei Cheng flipped through the menu, they came out after eating, but as soon as they went out, they smelled the aroma from the inside of the restaurant and the food stalls outside the restaurant, Pei Cheng couldn't help thinking of something to eat, he flipped through it, Said: "What's delicious in your place?"

"Master Hui, the signature dish of our restaurant is the soy pork elbow, which is made from our restaurant's exclusive secret recipe. It's delicious and not greasy. It's very refreshing to eat. The guests who have eaten it all say it's delicious. Young master, do you want to have a taste too?" Xiaoer said hurriedly.

Pei Cheng hadn't eaten sauced elbow for a long time, and when Xiaoer said this, he immediately became greedy. He nodded and said, "Have some."

Xiao Er smiled, "Do you need something more?"

There are many people in the room, but only three people can sit in the seats, Jiang Linzhi, Pei Cheng, Jiang Yanzhi, and the rest are all standing on the side.And from the moment he sat down, Jiang Linzhi didn't say a word. Jiang Yanzhi was still young, so Xiaoer regarded Pei Cheng as the person with the highest status here.

Pei Cheng didn't want to eat anything at first, but the three of them occupied a private room and ordered a dish, which was nothing good, and said, "Two more meat dishes from your restaurant with a good reputation, and another sweet cake."

Xiaoer nodded, and when he was sure that Pei Cheng was no longer needed, he nodded quickly and went out.

Jiang Linzhi got up, walked to the window, pushed the window open, looked at the beautiful night outside and the lanterns floating on the river, lowered his eyes, and said: "After eating, if there are few people later, bring Go and put a river lantern."

Standing beside Jiang Linzhi, Pei Cheng looked condescendingly at the river lanterns with small candles floating on the Lianhua River outside the window, with joy and curiosity in his eyes, "Okay."

Jiang Yanzhi was not very interested in these bells and whistles. He looked away after just one glance, but he didn't leave. Instead, he walked up to Pei Cheng and stood beside Pei Cheng, holding Pei Cheng's clothes with both hands, and said, "Dad , why should we go back?"

Pei Cheng lowered his head, glanced at the ignorant little guy, and smiled, "Where do you want to go back?"

Jiang Yanzhi was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "When are we going back to the imperial capital?

Like Pei Cheng, even though he has lived in Hwaseong for so many years, he has no affection for Hwaseong. On the contrary, he misses the house in Imperial City, which has only lived for a few months.This is not because the little guys are heartless, but because there is no place worth missing in Hwaseong, let alone someone they miss, but the imperial capital has their home, so after a long time, everyone wants to go home Pei Cheng see Glancing at Jiang Linzhi, "How long will it take us to go back?"

Jiang Linzhi took a deep look at Pei Cheng, and then said: "Go back the day after tomorrow. When I finish solving the matter tomorrow, I'll be fine."

Pei Cheng nodded, indicating that he knew it, and he didn't ask Jiang Linzhi why he continued to stay here to deal with it. This is not only because of his trust in the man, but also because the two get along so naturally that they don't need to ask others. things.

Most importantly, Pei Cheng didn't think there must be any secrets between the two of them, he chose to leave Jiang Lin with a little secret of his own.

But Pei Cheng didn't know that, in Jiang Linzhi's heart, he wished that there was no little secret between them.

Xiao Er quickly came in with the food, and Pei Cheng picked up a piece of soy pork elbow. Although the taste was not as good as what Xiao Er described just now, the taste of this soy pork knuckle was also delicious in the world, and it didn't taste very good. Tired, Pei Cheng ate half of it, and then felt a little nauseous, couldn't eat it, and then stuffed the remaining half of the sauce elbow into the man's mouth.

Jiang Linzhi didn't dislike Pei Cheng either. He bit the sauced elbow and finished eating the sauced elbow. He nodded and said, "It tastes good. There is a restaurant in the imperial capital that serves drunken shrimp and sauce. The elbow is also good, when I go back, I will take you to have a taste."

Pei Cheng watched Jiang Linzhi help him eat the remaining half of the elbow, and then nodded.

Standing in the private room, Dong Lai and Cheng San were very surprised. They thought that although Jiang Linzhi doted on Pei Cheng very much, he wouldn't dote so much that he would willingly eat the other's leftover pork knuckles.

If this is not a kind of love, then they really don't know what to think about what is real love.

Anyway, since they came to Wuwu Pavilion, they have never seen Jiang Linzhi willingly eat the leftovers from other people's food, and even indulge the other party to take him to eat other things after eating.

Dong Lai was calmer than Cheng San. Before the end, he stayed with Jiang Linzhi in the Jiang family's east courtyard for a while, and saw many scenes of Jiang Linzhi pampering Pei Cheng. Although he had never seen this scene before him, Dong Lai Lai didn't need the time Cheng San needed, Dong Lai quickly packed up his emotions.

A cold gaze swept over, implying warning and indifference.

Dong Lai stood still, with a frank expression.

On the contrary, Cheng San, who only reacted now, restrained his annoyed expression, not daring to look or think any more.

Jiang Linzhi closed his eyes as if nothing had happened, watching Pei Cheng happily eating the sweet cake.

After so many years, I am still not used to eating sweet cakes, but every time I see Pei Cheng eating sweet cakes happily, Jiang Linzhi still can't help but try it.

After eating, the pedestrians outside the restaurant gradually dispersed. Jiang Linzhi took Pei Cheng's hand and left. Jiang Yanzhi walked behind Pei Cheng as if nothing had happened. During the period, he wanted to hold Pei Cheng's hand countless times. But because of the fact that this place is outside, as well as the psychological burden that I have now grown into a little man and can no longer casually hold the hand of an adult.

So Jiang Yanzhi didn't touch Pei Cheng's hand.

Jiang Linzhi asked someone to buy a river lantern that was placed on the river today. Pei Cheng took it, lit it, and silently made a wish in his heart, then pushed the river lantern away and let it gradually leave along the water.

Pei Cheng watched the river lantern drift away, feeling a little inexplicably melancholy, he pursed his lips, and said: "I want to go back, I don't feel comfortable staying here."

Jiang Lin, who had been standing beside him and staring at Pei Cheng, was stunned, then nodded and said, "Okay."

In the distance, three Taoist priests in plain clothes looked at the three of Jiang Linzhi and the subordinates following them from afar.

The fat elder said: "They will leave South China City in these two days. If we don't adopt the plan we thought about before, we will never find them again after they leave. In this case, our Daoguang Zongmen's dumb loss is It's settled."

The thin old man said quietly: "It's nothing to suffer a loss, just be afraid. Because of this incident, our Daoguang sect will no longer have deterrent power in the Jianghu. Our Daoguang sect has not been alive in these years. The opponents of the Daoguang sect in the arena The argument is getting worse and worse, if it continues like this, in a few years, if we want to recruit new disciples, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Listening to the words of these two people, the headmaster's face was very ugly. It is possible that these two people disliked his poor discipline, "But if we really face Jiang Linzhi now, it may be the end of the fish and the net. "

The skinny elder frowned, glanced at the head of the sect, and said, "It's not that serious, is it?"

The head of the sect said indifferently: "The matter has become a big mess now, not to mention that before the innocence and indifference did not listen to persuasion, and even insisted on confronting Jiang Linzhi, now it seems that even if we intend to reconcile with the Inorganic Pavilion, it is impossible . not to mention that there is no way this will ever be reconciled."

"If there is no reconciliation, will the head of the sect have any other clever moves?" The fat elder said suddenly.

The head shook his head, "But Daoguang Sect may not be able to compare with Wuwu Pavilion. Especially now that Wuwu Pavilion is still tied to South China City Lord, if our Daoguang Sect really wants to fight over, we want It is absolutely impossible to win without some small tricks."

The fat elder felt that doing this was too much, "The head is planning to..."

The headmaster pursed his lips and was about to continue when there was a sound of footsteps behind him. He was sensitive to the fact that something was wrong, but before he had time to remind him, a cold knife was resting on his neck.

A low voice, implying danger and warning, sounded behind the head: "The head of the Daoguang Sect, two elders, you three had better not move around now, otherwise, the sword has no eyes, if you are not careful Please don’t blame me for the accidental injury.”

In the distance, Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi, "Is this the surprise you want to give me?"

Jiang Linzhi looked into the distance, and after seeing his subordinates grabbing the three people who had the right to speak in the hands of the Daoguang Sect, he said lightly: "Isn't this surprising enough?"

Pei Cheng stopped talking.

The next night, Jiang Linzhi really wanted to take Pei Cheng to see the once-a-year grand event in South China City, the Lotus Festival.

On the night of the Lotus Festival, the entire Lotus Street was full of pedestrians. Compared with the Lantern Festival in Hwaseong, this grand scene is really... the same crowd.
