"Your friends seem a little strange." When they were riding back to the outer city, Pei Che said that he had something to do here, so he did not return to the Duke's Mansion, but sat out with him. Jiang Miao thought about the performance of those people just now, and suddenly spoke.
Pei Che froze, and said guiltily: "It's my fault. I didn't expect them to ignore you on purpose. But don't worry, I've made it clear to them, and I won't do it again next time."
"Ah?" Jiang Miao was confused, "Did they do that?" He recalled carefully and had no idea that he had ever been isolated.
"..." Pei Che's eyes twitched, "Then why do you say they are weird?"
Jiang Miao said confidently, "Isn't it strange? I asked you to write a poem, but you didn't finish a single poem. You kept following me around and asking me questions. If I hadn't been careful, I'm afraid they would have found out my secrets. Also, you kept toasting me during dinner, and I drank so much that I didn't even taste the food."
At noon, they had lunch in the Lanyue Tower. The Lanyue Tower was the tall building they had seen when they were touring the lake before. It had seven floors in total. It was said that the higher the floor, the more expensive the private room.
As the host, Han Qin naturally went to the private room on the top floor. The dishes in it were usually randomly changed, and each one was a masterpiece. After Jiang Miao tasted it, he felt very satisfied and felt that this was the level of a true chef in ancient times, and it was even more delicious than the birthday banquet Jiang Miao had had at Zhu's house last time. It was a pity that those people kept toasting him, so he couldn't have a good meal.
After learning about the point that Jiang Miao was worried about, Pei Che couldn't help but sigh: "So it's such a strange method. If you still want to eat, I'll take you there next time."
Jiang Miao shook his head: "Forget it, the ingredients are not simple, and a table of food will definitely cost a lot. Forget it if your friend treats us today, it's not worth it to go by myself." With the money, he might as well buy the ingredients and cook it himself.
"By the way, why do you think they are isolating me?" Jiang Miao suddenly thought of this and looked up at Pei Che. He had done nothing wrong, so why were they isolating him
Pei Che coughed lightly and said, "I'm sorry, my friends have heard a lot of rumors and mistakenly believe that you have used some tricks to control me. They want you to give up."
Jiang Miao laughed: "Could it be that they think I'm a vixen?" He never thought that one day he would be given this character.
"Although it's not right, it's not far off either." Pei Che was also helpless. After asking them, he found out that the outside world had so many speculations about this marriage contract.
"What other rumors are there? Tell me about them." Jiang Miao had a gossipy look on his face, not caring at all that he was also one of the protagonists of the rumor.
Seeing him looking at him with shining eyes, Pei Che had no choice but to choose a few rumors that were not so outrageous and tell them to him. Even this made Jiang Miao laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten his back.
"Haha, I didn't expect you rich people to be so boring. You are quite thoughtful, why don't you write a storybook?" Jiang Miao wiped away the tears from laughing and rubbed his sore face.
Pei Che said, "They are the only ones who are bored." He didn't like Jiang Miao's words "you are rich people", which made him feel that Jiang Miao seemed to distance themselves from them.
"Let them guess as they please. Anyway, apart from you and me, no one else will know our true relationship. By the way, is the emperor still paying attention to this matter?" He approached Pei Che and asked quietly.
The soft breath hit Pei Che's face, making his ears feel a little hot. He leaned back slightly and said, "It should be. I often feel like someone is secretly spying on me when I go out these days."
Jiang Miao was shocked. He nervously looked around through the crack in the car window. When he found no suspicious person, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why don't I have this feeling?"
"You are not a martial artist, so it is naturally difficult to detect you." Just like when they just came out of the Plum Garden, he pretended to turn his head casually and found a figure quickly hiding in the corner.
Jiang Miao's focus quickly shifted: "Have you learned martial arts?" He looked at the gentle-looking Pei Che with suspicion, "It doesn't look like it. If you say that the one with the sullen face has learned martial arts, I would believe it a little more." He was referring to Su Jin, who looked to have an unusual aura.
"The one with the cold face? Is that Ah Jin?" Pei Che laughed. "He is indeed a martial arts expert, but I have also practiced martial arts since I was a child."
"What kind of martial arts do you practice? Which school or sect? Can picking leaves and flying flowers hurt people?" Jiang Miao became interested. In the past, when he was reading martial arts novels in bed with a flashlight, what he longed for most was the swords and rain, and the heroic spirit of enjoying the world of martial arts.
"There is such a kind of Kung Fu in the world?" Pei Che was confused. "The martial arts master hired by the mansion taught me swordsmanship and boxing and kicking. He didn't teach me any school of martial arts."
"Then, are there no martial arts leaders or cult leaders in the world?" Jiang Miao refused to give up.
Pei Che shook his head after hearing this: "How can the imperial court tolerate the emergence of such a heresy? If there were any, they would have sent people to suppress them long ago."
Jiang Miao was a little disappointed: "Then you definitely can't fly over eaves and walls, right?" Qinggong and the like are really cool!
"That's not difficult." Pei Che said. After practicing Kung Fu for a long time, climbing walls and trees is very simple.
Jiang Miao's eyes lit up: "Then can you show me how to practice?" His face was full of anticipation, making it hard to refuse.
Pei Che hesitated for a while, and Jiang Miao saw that there was a chance, so he begged for help, and finally Pei Che gave in. He told the driver to stop by the roadside, and then he found an alley and walked into it with Jiang Miao.
Jiang Miao was stunned. This wall must be four or five meters high, but it was so easy to climb up!
Before he could praise loudly, a woman's scream suddenly came from inside the wall, followed by an angry curse of "lecher", and then a broom flew towards Pei Che. Pei Che dodged it, jumped off the high wall in a panic, pulled Jiang Miao up and rushed out.
Jiang Miao didn't react at first, but when he got outside, he immediately burst into laughter. Pei Che walked towards the carriage with a sullen face, which made the driver look terrified, not knowing what happened after the two of them went in.
"Stop laughing!" Jiang Miao was still laughing when he got on the bus. Pei Che could no longer bear it and said with gritted teeth. If the vendor hadn't wanted to see his skill of climbing walls and flying over rooftops, why would he have done this? He had never been so embarrassed in his life! He was actually mistaken for a pervert lurking in the backyard!
Jiang Miao covered his mouth, trying to hold back his laughter, but his crooked eyes still revealed his true emotions. When he stopped laughing, Pei Che had already closed his eyes and sat quietly, ignoring him.
Jiang Miao finally realized that he had gone too far. How could Mr. Pei, who was so precious, have ever been treated like this? If he didn't coax him well, he would never be able to see her again in the future.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have laughed at you, it's all my fault!" He began to apologize, but Pei Che didn't react at all.
"It's my fault. Please pay attention to me, please? Master Pei? Pei Che? A'che? The most handsome man in Liangjing?" He called out softly, using different names. When he called the last one, Pei Che opened his eyes and frowned.
"What did you call me?"
"The most handsome man in Liangjing! Wait, don't stare at me. I didn't give you this name. It's recognized by the people of Liangjing. You don't know, but I went to the last Buddhist meeting just for you. When the carriage of the Duke Zhongguo's Mansion arrived, I tried my best to squeeze in to see what you looked like. Who knew that I was squeezed by others and didn't see you. It was such a pity at that time!" Jiang Miao tried his best to flatter him, and at the end he added, "If I had known that you sent someone to buy my buns, I would have personally delivered them to the carriage."
"... You obviously went there to sell buns." Pei Che didn't believe it. If it was really for him, why did he treat him badly for a few taels of silver when he met him at Zhu's house? If he hadn't bought the birthday peaches later, he probably wouldn't have treated him well.
"Hehe, none of this matters." Jiang Miao was exposed without feeling embarrassed. Seeing that he was willing to pay attention to her, she immediately apologized to him, "It is true that I went too far just now, but don't worry, I will never tell anyone about this. And you had your back to the yard just now, so the people below must not have seen your face clearly, so I won't ruin your reputation!"
When this matter was brought up again, Pei Che's expression, which had just improved, began to turn gloomy again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Jiang Miao quickly changed the subject.
"Ah Che, how many years have you practiced Kung Fu? Do you think I can learn Kung Fu?" When Jiang Miao was a child, he watched a movie called Shaolin Temple. He was so fascinated by the Kung Fu in the movie that he even wanted to shave his head and become a disciple to learn Kung Fu. Unfortunately, this dream was eventually shattered by his grandmother's feather duster.
Pei Che looked Jiang Miao up and down with a half-smile in his eyes and said, "With your aptitude, I'm afraid you won't be able to practice it."
"You underestimate me. You didn't see how I fought with those thugs last time. I beat them away in just a few moves." Jiang Miao was not convinced. He was quite good at fighting.
After these words came out, Pei Che snorted and laughed: "I only saw your face was blue and purple."
“… When you’re in the martial world, you’re bound to get hurt.” Jiang Miao replied, holding his breath. In a fight, you don’t have to be afraid of getting hurt. As long as the other person is more seriously injured than you, you don’t count as a loser.
The two of them kept bickering all the way until they reached the outside of Xiao Shitou's private school. As soon as Jiang Miao got off the carriage, Xiao Shitou came out and said that he would have a day off tomorrow and would be released earlier today.
Little Stone, carrying his schoolbag, stood by the door and looked around, but he couldn't see any familiar figures. He was wondering if his brother had forgotten about him when he suddenly felt someone approaching.
"Brother?!" Little Shitou looked up and shouted in surprise, "Why are you dressed like this?" The brother in front of him dressed like this looked better than those rich young men.
Jiang Miao said proudly: "How is it? Is my brother good looking?"
Little Stone nodded vigorously and looked at Jiang Miao with bright eyes.
"I'll make you a set of clothes like this in the future, and we'll wear them out together." Jiang Miao said as he led Xiao Shitou towards the carriage.
When they got to the carriage, he picked up Little Stone and carried him in. Little Stone, who had ridden in a carriage twice before, skillfully lifted the curtain and got inside. When he saw the person sitting in the carriage clearly, he froze.
"Sister-in-law?" He called out tentatively with a trembling voice. My brother's wife should be called sister-in-law, right
"Sister-in-law?" Pei Che was also stunned, then smiled playfully and said to Jiang Miao who had just got in the car, "Did you teach him to call me that?"
Jiang Miao gave an awkward but polite smile, typing away furiously in his mind. Question: Which flight is the closest to leaving Earth? There is a socially frustrated person here who wants to immigrate to Mars!
