The moon was bright in the sky, and the entire capital was shrouded in the thick darkness of the night. There was silence, and the sound of the night watchman came from far away and then gradually faded away.
It was three o'clock in the morning, and Shen Luchu turned over in bed, still unable to fall asleep.
Not only was it difficult for him to fall asleep, he also felt as if his head was standing on end and he was irritable and stuffy.
With a thump, Chen Luchu sat up irritably and shouted outside, "Someone come."
Mo Yu, who had just closed his eyes in the outer room, immediately became alert when he heard the voice and pushed the door open to come in: "What do you want me to do?"
Shen Luchu sat on the bed string, with a sullen face, and ordered sternly: "Go and bring all the people from the concierge to me."
Mo Yu was stunned: "Now?" In the middle of the night?
Chen Luchu's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was obviously irritable. "Yes, now, bring those slaves here now. They are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying. Let them let people go when they see them. Why haven't they come in yet?"
Shen Luchu's breath surged, and his chest shook violently. "I want to ask those dog slaves how they do things."
Mo Yu was speechless: Are you serious, Master?
Mr. 녡떚 is so smart, doesn't he know that it's not that the doorman didn't let him go, but that Jiang Shiyuan didn't come at all.
It's not a trick of playing hard to get, nor is it a gimmick. It seems that Jiang Shiyuan is serious this time.
Mo Yu looked at Shen Luchu's tired and gloomy expression again.
Maybe... it was because 녡떚 knew that Jiang Shiyuan had no signs of bowing his head and begging for mercy that 꺳 was so angry and furious? ?
Mo Yu didn't dare to think too much, he just felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Can't you sleep again tonight?"
After returning from the palace yesterday, I tossed and turned all night without sleeping.
Tonight again...
녡떚's insomnia has not recurred for a long time under Jiang Shiyuan's treatment.
Shen Luchu seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a cold voice: "Where is the sachet?"
Mo Yu immediately understood and quickly searched for the sachet that Jiang Shiyuan had given him on the desk nearby and handed it to Shen Luchu.
A whiff of fresh fragrance wafted into his nose, and Shen Luchu's expression gradually relaxed, and the tension in his brain gradually loosened.
Mo Yu quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said casually, "Master, you may not know yet, but the things that Miss Jiang gave you, the bookmarks, writing brushes, and book boxes in the study, the incense burner and pendants in the bedroom, and the sachet on your body, are all scented. The incense was specially prepared by Miss Jiang for Master, and it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the spirit."
"I know, that's all she knows."
Chen Luchu snorted coldly, his tone was disdainful, but his mood had recovered a little.
Seeing that this trick worked, Mo Yu continued, "This is more than just a little love. Miss Jiang has spent all her love on you. For example, the art of perfume making must have been learned specifically for you."
Chen Luchu remembered that Jiang Shiyuan did often share his own spices with him and asked him what he liked.
Three years ago, Jiang Shiyuan even had the whim of opening an incense shop in the capital.
This kind of trick to kill time in the boudoir is already a compliment to win over men. Jiang Shiyuan even dreamed of gaining a foothold in Beijing with a little incense.
She is an orphan girl with no power or influence, yet she wants to compete with the most prosperous perfume company in the capital. Isn't she dreaming?
Besides, which noble mother would deal with money? It's embarrassing to tell it to others.
"Attitude is more important than these useless flower stands." Chen Luchu's mood has returned to normal. "My patience has been exhausted. If she doesn't come to admit her mistake tomorrow, she will never come back to me in this life."
If she was willing to admit her mistake, he would give her another chance, and he would even let her go and allow her to try the incense shop.
"Yes, she will. Tomorrow, tomorrow she will definitely come."
Mo Yu was comforting her like a child. Even though he knew there was another truth, he still kept agreeing with her.
He only prayed that Jiang Shiyuan's marriage could be held later, preferably three months later. As long as Jiang Shiyuan finished the imperial examination, it would have nothing to do with him even if Jiang Shiyuan collapsed.
If Mo Yu had known about this and inquired about the Jiang family, he would probably know that his body would collapse in a month at most.
It may not even take a month, it may take a day.
Because Zhou Jingshen came early in the morning of the next day.
Duke Zhou sincerely invited Chen Luchu to go to the south of the city to taste the newly opened restaurant. It is said that the Sichuan cuisine in that restaurant is very delicious.
The other couple who also wanted to taste Shu cuisine, no, the other side——
At the exact time of Si, neither earlier nor later than the time agreed yesterday, a carriage with the Pei family's emblem appeared at the Jiang family's gate on time.
Despite the prior appointment, Pei Che still asked the driver to get off the car and hand over his business card first.
The business card was delivered to Jiang Shiyuan's room, and Jiang Shiyuan was busy putting on his clothes.
Why is it always so embarrassing?
It was clearly her appointment with the guy, but she overslept.
"Are you ready? Are you ready? Hair, hair..."
"Ahh, I put on the wrong earring... where's the other one?"
"The blush here, here..."
Several maids worked hard and finally dressed the person up within a quarter of an hour.
Jiang Shiyuan lifted her skirt and rushed out the door.
Outside the door, Pei Che stood beside the carriage with his hands behind his back.
Pei Che was wearing a black robe today. It was obviously not made of gold or jade. Even the black hair on his head was just tied up with a brocade ribbon of the same color. It was simple as could be, but Jiang Shiyuan's dance still inexplicably missed a beat.
Master Pei, with his tall and graceful figure, was outstanding just by standing there.
As if sensing her gaze, the man who had his back to the door turned around and looked over.
Caught off guard, their eyes met.
Jiang Shiyuan didn't know why, but subconsciously looked away.
She walked forward quickly, and was about to step down the stairs when suddenly a voice sounded in her mind:
[Article 26 of Pei Family Rules: You are not allowed to run when walking, you are not allowed to jump when taking a step, and you must walk up and down stairs one step at a time. Violators will be severely punished. 】
Jiang Shiyuan stood at attention suddenly and withdrew one of her feet that had already stepped out from under her skirt.
Pei Che stood beside the carriage, looking at Jiang Shiyuan standing on the steps, with a hesitant look on his face, as if he was struggling with something very important.
It's the left foot.
Jiang Shiyuan finally remembered, took his left foot, slowly walked down the stairs, then walked to Pei Che and bowed deeply to him:
"Hello, Uncle."
[Article 33 of the Pei Family Rules: When meeting an elder, one should call out loudly, bend the upper body forward, and keep the head and buttocks level. 】
Pei Che: ...
