Pei Che was indeed swift and resolute, and with just a few words he finalized the marriage between the two families.
If you don't know his style, you will definitely suspect that Pei Ziye has some serious illness or disability, and he can't find a wife, so he will trap her if he catches her.
Jiang Shiyuan has no problem with this marriage. Her aunt had arranged it three years ago, but she was thinking about Shen Luchu at the time, so she rejected her aunt's proposal before she even finished it.
She was also surprised that the Pei family was still willing after three years.
I guess Pei Ziye must not have done anything good in the past three years, otherwise he wouldn't have been unable to find a wife.
"I still have some official business, so I'll stop here for today."
After finalizing the important matters, Pei Che stood up and was about to leave, speaking in a businesslike tone.
Nanny Qin smiled widely and quietly nudged Jiang Shiyuan: "Miss, go and see Master Pei off."
Jiang Shiyuan was still in a daze. Nanny Qin gave her a glare and whispered, "Go quickly. We will be a family from now on. Get to know each other better sooner."
That's right.
I heard that although Pei Che was not the head of the Pei family, he had great authority in the Pei family. If Pei Ziye got close to this uncle, he would not dare to act too wild in front of her after marriage.
Jiang Shiyuan stood up to see him off.
Although he said he was seeing her off, he was actually just following Pei Che silently all the way.
Jiang Shiyuan was usually very active, but he became speechless when he saw Pei Che's official robes.
Pei Che spoke first, breaking the silence: "What do you like to do at home?"
When Jiang Shiyuan heard that they were going to meet last night, he made some preparations.
As for packaging and decoration, she understands it.
Upon hearing the question, Jiang Shiyuan immediately replied fluently, as if reciting a text: "I'm currently learning housekeeping. In my spare time, I read books and study cooking." The elders all like this kind of virtuous answer.
"Really?" Pei Che slowed down his pace, waited for her to reach his level, and looked over at her sideways.
Jiang Shiyuan seemed to be seen through in an instant, and immediately became timid, and confessed the truth like pouring beans: "If a book is considered a book, and eating and drinking a lot is considered culinary tasting, then I am indeed quite proficient in it."
When they reached the door, Jiang Shiyuan lowered his head like a student caught cheating in an exam, and a light laugh sounded above his head.
Pei Che must be laughing at her and Pei Ziye, a dandy and a fool, a perfect match.
"Hobbies are not noble or humble. It is an extremely rare skill to entertain yourself and make yourself happy."
Jiang Shiyuan looked up in astonishment, his eyes wide open: "You didn't say that before."
Pei Che was stunned: "What did I say before?"
"You said that playing with things is a waste of time and has low taste!" And he said it in public.
Jiang Shiyuan frowned, had a stern face, sneered, and looked at Pei Che with a mocking expression, but his eyes were full of resentment, as if he was accusing him.
Did he...say that to her?
Pei Che turned his eyes away and looked at the pedestrians not far away: "That's what I said wrong."
Um?
Did she hear it right? Pei Tianche, the pride of heaven and the pillar of the country, said he was wrong?
She was startled again and raised her head. Pei Che had already climbed the steps and walked towards his carriage.
Jiang Shiyuan felt that the man was not so scary anymore, and could not help but greet him, "Goodbye, uncle."
Pei Che paused when he got in the car, then turned around and glanced at Jiang Shiyuan with a deep gaze.
Jiang Shiyuan's heart suddenly trembled: What? Did you say something wrong?
Pei Che finally just nodded and said nothing more.
After watching Pei Che leave, Jiang Shiyuan immediately turned back to the wing room and suddenly saw a group of people approaching him.
"Jiang Shiyuan, are you here to celebrate Li Luo's birthday as well? Why are you here so late? We are all done."
Jiang Shiyuan looked up and saw a group of men and women walking on the stone path opposite.
Chen Luchu stood out like a crane among chickens, surrounded by people, chatting and laughing with others. When he heard the voice, he looked up, with a hint of smile in his gray-brown eyes.
Shen Luchu was indeed outstanding, whether in appearance, family background, or academics, he was one of the best among his peers.
When he saw Chen Luchu again, Jiang Shiyuan thought he would be heartbroken, but he was unusually calm.
Do you like it?
She must have liked him. She remembered that stunning glimpse and that word of praise when she was young for a long time.
But after hearing the word "disgusting" from his mouth with my own ears, I looked at Chen Luchu again, and the light dissipated. The initial little throbbing returned to calm, and that was it.
Just think of it as a mistake you made.
Who doesn’t do bad things when they are young?
Not everyone is like Pei Che, who never makes mistakes, right?
Jiang Shiyuan retracted his gaze, and at this moment, a gentle voice sounded.
"Hello, Sister Jiang. I just asked Lu Chu why you didn't come today?"
Jiang Shiyuan's eyes couldn't help but fall on Su Liluo beside him, and on the sachet on her waist.
Seeing Jiang Shiyuan looking at the sachet in her hand, Su Liluo smiled and said, "Today is my birthday, Master Chen bought half of Mantingchun to celebrate my birthday, and also wanted to give me a birthday gift. I thought it was too expensive, so I confiscated the gift and only asked for a sachet from Master Chen."
There was a hint of provocation and complacency in Su Liluo's smile.
As everyone knows, this sachet was given by Jiang Shiyuan to Chen Luchu, and inside it was the amulet she had brought back from Yuzhou, just because Manjusri Bodhisattva in Yuzhou was the most powerful, and Chen Luchu was going to participate in the Spring Examination next year.
Su Liluo had bad intentions, but Jiang Shiyuan acted as if he didn't see it.
"Very good."
I just don’t know whether Manjushri Bodhisattva can protect one’s marriage in addition to protecting one’s academic achievements.
Jiang Shiyuan said calmly, then turned and walked past them.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Chen Luchu's friend Zhou Jingshen asked in confusion, "Luchu, what happened?"
It's really like the sun rises in the west. Today's rare gathering, it's already strange that Jiang Shiyuan didn't appear next to Shen Lvchu. Fang Jiang Shiyuan didn't even look at Shen Lvchu, which would have been unacceptable in the past.
Although Jiang Shiyuan didn't say it explicitly, but as long as Shen Luchu was in the occasion, her eyes would fall on Shen Luchu without any concealment. Everyone around Shen Luchu knew that Jiang Shiyuan liked Shen Luchu very much and would revolve around Shen Luchu whenever she had the chance.
Zhou Jingshen suddenly patted his head: "I know, yesterday was Jiang Shiyuan's birthday!"
Chen Luchu looked at the figure walking away without looking back, feeling inexplicably annoyed: "Really? I don't remember."
"How could I not remember? It's easy to remember. Double Ninth Festival was on the day of Jiang Shiyuan, which was yesterday."
Zhou Jingshen suddenly froze and couldn't even remember the date, let alone the gift.
Zhou Jingshen couldn't help but look at Su Liluo. This differential treatment was too obvious.
"Isn't this a bit too much?" Zhou Jingshen said with a guilty conscience.
In fact, they knew Jiang Shiyuan much earlier than they knew Su Liluo. Jiang Shiyuan had no one to rely on and her family background was a little weak, but she was lively and considerate, and never complained. When she was young, she helped them copy books, and after leaving the academy, she helped them a lot. After so many years, she could be considered an old friend.
"Isn't it like this every year?" Shen Luchu didn't care.
Zhou Jingshen thought about it and it seemed to be true. After knowing each other for ten years, Jiang Shiyuan celebrates his birthday every year, and no one ever prepares any special gifts for him.
On the contrary, when other people celebrate their birthdays, Jiang Shiyuan will prepare birthday gifts for everyone.
Everyone just thought it was Jiang Shiyuan's trick to please Shen Luchu, and no one took it seriously.
I guess Jiang Shiyuan has gotten used to it a long time ago.
If it's not because of the 눃陈놅 incident, then what is it because of?
Zhou Jingshen was thinking, then glanced at the sachet on Su Liluo's body.
This sachet was specially given to Chen Lvchu by Jiang Shiyuan a few days ago, and there was also a very rare amulet inside.
Will this amulet become ineffective if someone else uses it?
Zhou Jingshen didn't think it was wrong, but this was the first thing he thought of.
Su Liluo observed his expression and hurriedly pulled the sachet from her waist, saying apologetically, "This couldn't be a gift from Sister Jiang. Sorry, I didn't know it was from Sister Jiang. I think Sister Jiang seems to have misunderstood. Mr. Shen, don't worry, I'll go find Sister Jiang and explain it to her now."
Chen Luchu looked at the sachet and said disdainfully: "If you like it, keep it. I don't like these fancy things. Besides, I am in high school, and I rely on my own real learning. No one will be superstitious about ghosts and gods."
Having said that, Shen Luchu walked straight away.
Chen Luchu didn't take it to heart at all, but his mind couldn't help but think of the figure that flashed by when he was chatting and laughing with others in the academy the day before.
Yesterday was Jiang Shiyuan's birthday. Did she come to the academy to find me?
Did she hear it?
Shen Luchu suddenly felt a little guilty, but it only lasted for a moment.
After hearing what happened, he said it was all true.
Jiang Shiyuan's father was a martial artist and her mother was a female bandit. She came from a humble background and no one in the academy wanted to associate with her.
He just felt sorry for her and took the initiative to talk to her a few more words.
He felt sorry for her. If she had any other fantasies, she would be truly greedy and insatiable. How could she not make people feel sick and nauseous?
Shen Luchu thought so, but when he got on the carriage, he still gave an order for some unknown reason.
"Go to the East City Baiweifang to buy a box of snacks and send it to the General's Mansion."
The servant Mo Yu was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is the prince going to send some snacks to Miss Jiang?"
Chen Luchu said a vague "hmm", just as a gift to her.
"What kind of flavor do you want to buy?" asked the servant.
Shen Luchu was stunned. Jiang Shiyuan knew his likes and dislikes well, but he only remembered that Jiang Shiyuan had mentioned the delicious snacks at Baiweifang, but he had no idea what Jiang Shiyuan liked or disliked.
"Why bother? Just buy some."
Mo Yu thought to herself that was true. Normally, Jiang Shiyuan would be delighted with whatever the prince gave her. If she knew that the prince specially sent her cakes, wouldn't she be extremely grateful?
Mo Yu left in response.
Chen Luchu returned to Wenyuan Marquis Mansion. Just as he sat down and read a page of book, he saw Mo Yu and his wife coming back empty-handed and reported: "My Lord, we can't join you. I just arrived at Baiweifang and the dim sum at Baiweifang was bought up by someone."
Chen Luchu said impatiently: "Can't you tell me your identity and let the other party share a box?"
"My son reported it, but the other party ignored him and said that it was for new people who had not yet married into their family, and there were quite a few of them."
Shen Luchu's mother is a princess, and his father is a first-rank Wenyuan Marquis. There are only a handful of people in the capital who dare not give face to the Shen family. Shen Luchu said angrily: "Whose family is the other party?"
Mo Yu replied, "It's Pei Mansion on Wutong Street."
Shen Luchu suddenly fell silent.
[Suzaku Imperial City, Wutong Pei Mansion], occupies a street in the capital city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Except for the number one family, Pei, no one else comes here.
The Pei family has a distinguished family background and many outstanding people. When talking about the Pei family, we have to mention Pei Che, the tenth son of the Pei family.
Pei Che became famous at a young age. He passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve and won the first prize at the age of sixteen. In just ten years, he rose to the highest position in the government and became the most trusted minister around the emperor, an existence that all scholars could only dream of.
Thinking of Pei Che, Shen Luchu felt a little sour.
He excelled in his studies, and everyone praised him for his potential to become the second Pei Che.
The second one?
Who wants to be the second one!
He has already won the first place in the Jieyuan and Huiyuan exams, and is just waiting to win another first place in the spring imperial examination.
He won three first prizes in a row, and even Pei Che would feel inferior to him when he saw him.
"What did you just say? Who did the Pei family buy things for? Are they new people?" Shen Luchu asked curiously.
Mo Yu nodded: "Yes, it was the Pei family's butler who came to buy it personally, and he seemed to take it very seriously."
Chen Luchu immediately thought of Pei Ziye, who was not doing his job properly and was idle every day. He couldn't help but sneered: "Who is so unlucky to marry that dude? You will cry later."
