Zhou Jingshen left the room and headed straight for the stairs, but just as he stepped onto the third floor, two people who looked like guards suddenly appeared and blocked his way with their hands.

"The Grand Tutor and his wife are dining here. No one is allowed to approach."

Zhou Jingshen's eyes widened like bells: "Who and who?"

Whose husband?

Mrs. Taifu?

What an uncommon word.

Pei Taifu's name is well-known to everyone in the capital, so of course I know him, but what does 'Taifu Fu' mean?

When did Master Pei get married? How come you don't know?

Zhou Jingshen completely forgot the purpose of his coming up for a moment, and all he could think of were the four characters "Mr. Taifu".

I couldn't help but look into the private room on the third floor. I saw that the third floor was silent and quiet. It was obvious that Master Pei had made a big move and booked the entire third floor.

Zhou Jingshen was amazed and no longer had any doubts.

No one in the capital dared to impersonate Master Pei, so the person having dinner inside must be Pei Che himself.

Zhou Jingshen ran downstairs quickly as if he had discovered some shocking secret.

"Lü Chu, do you know? Shocking news, Master Pei, Pei Che, is married!"

In the private room, the dishes ordered by Shen Luchu had not yet been served, but Shen Luchu had already poured the wine and started drinking it.

"Wang and his wife are having dinner upstairs. Isn't it a coincidence?" Zhou Jingshen shared excitedly.

놛 was expecting Chen Luchu's response, expecting Chen Luchu to be as shocked as herself, but Chen Luchu just lowered his head to drink without any reaction.

"Yeah, I know." Chen Luchu said gloomily, "To be exact, we haven't gotten married yet. The wedding will be next month."

"What? You knew? When did you know?"

Zhou Jingshen exclaimed, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Chen Lvchu. Chen Lvchu didn't even share such shocking news with him.

"I went to the palace a few days ago and met him by chance in the Imperial Garden."

Zhou Jingshen came forward curiously: "Have you seen the Taifu's wife? What does she look like?"

"I didn't see it." Chen Luchu lowered his head and took a sip of wine, recalling the scene of that day: "But judging from Pei Che's expression, he should be very fond of it."

Zhou Jingshen had a look of regret on his face, but all his curiosity was aroused to the extreme at this moment.

"According to what you said, the girl hasn't even married yet, but Master Pei can't wait to call her 'husband'?"

Zhou Jingshen thought about the scene and suddenly grinned, with an expression that said "I got hit, I got hit".

"Whose girl is this? How come there is no news at all? Master Pei is hiding it too well."

"If Pei Taifu is deified, the woman must be extraordinary. It makes me even more curious. I wonder when we can get a glimpse of her and satisfy our curiosity."

Zhou Jingshen kept on talking, but Chen Luchu ignored him and lowered his head to drink.

Zhou Jingshen thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to do it today than to wait for a day. Aren’t Master Pei and his future wife on the third floor?

Then if I just wait here, won't I be able to see his true appearance later?

…

At this time, in the private room on the third floor, the current Grand Tutor Pei Che was calm and composed, while the Grand Tutor's wife, oh no, the future wife, who was sitting opposite him, felt a little embarrassed.

"It was clearly me who made the appointment with the tutor, but he ended up spending the money." He even reserved an entire floor, Jiang Shiyuan smacked his lips.

Pei Che didn't care, and said with thin lips: "It doesn't matter, just deduct it from Pei Ye's head, this is the punishment he deserves."

Jiang Shiyuan understood instantly, and a secret sweetness lingered silently in his heart.

She wanted to laugh, but felt it was unfair, and she couldn't suppress the upward curve of her lips.

"It's only one hundred taels. The Grand Tutor has already compensated me."

"The first is the compensation money, now it's to compensate for the sleepless night of my aunt. Pei Ye dare not refuse."

Pei Che looked into Jiang Shiyuan's eyes and spoke slowly, his tone very matter-of-fact.

What I said was that Pei Ye 'didn't dare', not 'wouldn't'.

The completely indulgent and partial tone made Jiang Shiyuan's heart beat out of control, even more so than the "Mr. Taifu" he had just heard in front of the cake shop.

Jiang Shiyuan felt his cheeks burning hot, and subconsciously picked up the wine glass beside him and drank it all in one gulp.

As the cool fruit wine went down his throat, the heat on Jiang Shiyuan's face really subsided a little. The sweet feeling was very comfortable, so Jiang Shiyuan poured himself another cup.

Pei Che on the opposite side looked at her wine glass, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Eat fish?" Pei Che asked.

Jiang Shiyuan had just nodded when the fattest and tenderest piece of fish meat from the fish belly was already put into her bowl.

Jiang Shiyuan thought it was appropriate to reciprocate, so he took a piece of the boiled beef in front of him and passed it to Pei Che.

"Taifu, please eat."

When I picked it up, I realized there was a piece of ginger on my chopsticks.

Jiang Shiyuan was stunned where she was. She could have chosen to put it back, but she chose to be stubborn: "Ginger can relieve cold, warm the lungs and unclog the meridians. It is a good tonic for autumn and winter."

Pei Che did not object, but raised his hand, took the bowl and even said, "Thank you."

Today's tutor was particularly easy to talk to.

Jiang Shiyuan pursed his lips, suddenly feeling playful, and then had other thoughts.

"Is it true that Master Taifu will not refuse anything I pick up today?"

Pei Che stopped picking fish bones with chopsticks, looked up at her, and nodded: "Well, after all, today I am here to compensate you."

Bang, bang—Jiang Shiyuan heard his own violent beating.

He didn't know whether it was because the gaze from the other side was too scorching, or because the voice from the other side was too gentle, Jiang Shiyuan felt that the heat on his face that had just faded away rose up again, even hotter than before.

Jiang Shiyuan lowered his head and drank another glass.

Jiang Shiyuan stopped talking. She had no time to talk. Pei Che compensated her as much as he could and kept feeding her in her bowl. Jiang Shiyuan accepted everything, but the heat on her face remained high, even getting hotter.

Jiang Shiyuan didn't say anything. Pei Che thought Jiang Shiyuan liked Sichuan cuisine until he found out that Jiang Shiyuan drank the fruit wine beside him as if it were water. In less than a quarter of an hour, the pot of fruit wine was almost empty.

"Drink slowly..."

As soon as Pei Che spoke, the girl opposite him suddenly raised her head, opened her starry eyes, and looked at him blankly. A strange blush had already appeared on her originally fair little face.

"Hey, uncle, why are you here? Are you coming to eat in person?"

“Hehehe.”

Jiang Shiyuan smiled foolishly, looked around blankly, and his sight returned to Pei Che.

"Uncle, why are you alone? Where is Pei Ye?"
