Chapter 267

Jiang Jiaojiao glanced at Su Peng warily, "Go and wait outside."

She doesn't care about paying her back or something.

In the past, she had to spend dozens of taels to buy any piece of jewelry. She didn't take this small amount of money seriously at all.

Su Pengchu stayed where he was.

He looked at Jiang Jiaojiao with a playful smile, "I will go back to my room to sleep tonight, there is no need for Jiaoer to bother me everywhere."

Su Peng has a good skin, and he looks a bit handsome when he smiles.

Lustfulness is not the exclusive domain of men, and women are no exception, and Jiang Jiaojiao is not immune to this.

Looking at Su Peng's appearance and remembering the time when he was entangled with her, Jiang Jiaojiao's face turned red.

She glared at Su Peng angrily, "Don't imitate your father. He handed his salary home one day and took it out for gambling secretly the next day."

"Jiao'er really doesn't understand your husband and me. Do you think I can be that kind of person? I follow my uncle all day long to discuss business. I'm so busy that I often miss meals. I don't have time to gamble."

Su Peng's words were half true and half false. There were indeed times when he was too busy to care about eating.

But he stopped mentioning it when he was too busy and his uncle took him to a brothel to relax and have fun.

Jiang Jiaojiao walked to the closet and took out a makeup box.

Su Peng had revealed everything, and Jiang Jiaojiao couldn't avoid him. Besides, there was no place to hide anything in this room.

Jiang Jiaojiao simply put the makeup box on the table generously, opened the lid and took out a silver pearl about the size of one tael.

"Here, I don't have much money in my hand, so I have to save some money."

When Su Peng took the silver, he glanced at the makeup box.

"Jiao'er, is that ruby ​​embedded in the Vermillion Bird Walking Shake?" Su Peng asked knowingly.

He recognized this step. It was his aunt's favorite but could not bear to wear it. He only saw his aunt wear it once.

It's not because he has a good memory, but because he likes that ruby ​​too much.

Su Peng heard his father mention that this step was still a dowry prepared by his grandmother for his aunt, and it was always valuable.

Jiang Jiaojiao quickly closed the dress box, "It doesn't matter whether it's a ruby ​​or not. This is the dowry my father gave me. Don't worry about it."

"No, I'm just asking. My aunt used to have a walking stick like this, and I don't know whose hands it ended up in." Su Peng suppressed the greed in his eyes.

Jiang Jiaojiao vehemently denied it, "This was a gift from me and my hairpin, not your aunt's."

After getting the money, Su Peng didn't take another look at Jiang Jiaojiao's treasured makeup box.

When they arrived at the east courtyard, Su Zhengxing took the money and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Qin breathed a long sigh of relief, "God bless, I hope Yue'er still remembers your father."

Then he looked at Su Peng and said: "I am not very satisfied with my wife here. Seeing that she is willing to give out money and is reasonably knowledgeable, my mother will never mention the matter of Young Master Wei San again. Son! This is such a pain. My mother has had enough."

"Mom, our good days are still to come! When dad gets the money from his cousin, my son will buy back all the servants that he used well in the past to serve you."

Thinking that he would soon live that happy life, Su Peng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

Mrs. Qin straightened her hair and said, "Well, Mom thinks so too. Your father used to live a life of fine clothing and fine food, and he has been miserable over the years. When life gets better, he will have to equip a carriage for you." Dad will buy a bookboy and keep an eye on him so he won’t gamble anymore.”

"Mom, don't talk about the future. Let me tell you a happy event first. Jiao'er promised me to take Caiyan in as my wife."

"Really, really?"

Mrs. Qin couldn't believe it. The daughter-in-law here had only been here for three days, and she actually agreed to let her husband take over the house.

Su Peng said with a smile: "Really, she didn't talk to others before she came in. Our family doesn't dislike her. It's nothing if I take over a roommate earlier."

Mrs. Qin smiled from ear to ear and praised: "We have a married couple, and we have two babies every year. The daughter-in-law here is generally well-known. Her father is worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the tutor of the concubine is not bad."

In the days that followed, Mrs. Qin wanted to slap herself hard on both ears every time she thought of this sentence. Let's not mention it for now.

Caiyan sent lunch to the room. Today she went home and brought back two kilograms of meat. The lunch was one meat and one vegetarian.

"Miss, eat it while it's hot. It's getting colder and colder today. The food will get cold soon after opening it. My uncle's portion was sent to the madam's courtyard." Caiyan opened the lid of the food box, and the aroma of meat and vegetables overflowed. .

Jiang Jiaojiao glanced at the food on the table and found she had no appetite at all.

She walked to the table and sat down, "Caiyan, you have been with me all these years, and I should have found you a servant to marry. For the sake of your loyalty to me, you can be my uncle's wife."

Caiyan's hand shook and the bowl in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Miss, I don't want to get married. I am very content to serve you by my side."

Caiyan spat in her heart. Not only was her concubine still a slave, but she was worse than a concubine. I was still half a master.

Jiang Jiaojiao was very satisfied with Caiyan's attitude, and said in a softer tone: "You and my uncle will also serve in my house. As long as you stay safe and behave, you will drink your concubine tea after I give birth to Lin'er."

Caiyan knew Jiang Jiaojiao's temper best, and it was impossible for her to take her as his wife and let her serve her uncle.

My uncle must have brought this up. No wonder his eyes have always been on her in the past few days. It turns out that my uncle has taken a liking to her.

Caiyan's eyes flashed, her face turned red and she lowered her head and bowed: "I have nowhere to go, I will listen to the arrangements of the young lady."

After accepting the reality, Jiang Jiaojiao didn't feel bad. There were many people who had concubines in the backyard.

A concubine was different from a concubine. Only when she was not in good health, the concubine would serve her husband.

After a few casual words, Jiang Jiaojiao ate her meal.

On the other side, Su Zhengxing changed into a new robe and went out.

With silver in his pocket, Su Zhengxing called a carriage to Juxian Pavilion.

At this time, the sound of pianos was lingering in Juxian Pavilion, and the fragrance of wine and food was wafting.

Su Zhengxing, who was not very hungry, swallowed his saliva.

Seeing Su Zhengxing stride into the door of the restaurant, Hu Qing stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed, "Sir, please come in. Are you going to eat or stay at the hotel?"

Su Zhengxing looked around. The hall was decorated exquisitely, and the plaque of Tianxia Diyilou was hung right above.

The shopkeeper was polite and made people feel at home.

He straightened his back and said, "I'm here to eat."

"Excuse me, would you like to sit in the private room upstairs or in the hall?" Hu Qing asked habitually.

Su Zhengxing thought that there were too many people in the hall and it was inconvenient for him to ask the shopkeeper or the waiter for information.

He waved his hand generously, "I want a private room."

"Private rooms are charged separately, please go upstairs, sir." Hu Qing nodded to a waiter at the counter, and the waiter hurried forward to lead the way.

Su Zhengxing glanced at Hu Qing and the waiter with disdain, "This is not my first time to Juxian Pavilion, of course I know that private rooms are charged separately."

Hu Qing: "..."

I'm talking too much.
