Dressed as a blacksmith

Chapter 46

Wen Jingnian and Pei Yi have been married for more than three years. Because Pei Yi has never been pregnant, he has gradually lost the love of Mrs. Wen. Recently, Mrs. Wen was persuaded by Wen Jingnian's stepmother, Wen Qin, to take a concubine for Wen Jingnian. .

At that time, Wen Jingnian was disturbed by the flood in Jizhou and had no time to pay attention to it.He went out to Jizhou for disaster relief, and Qin Yi, Wen Qin's nephew, was carried into the door by a sedan chair.

Pei Yi argued to no avail, so he packed his bags and left Wen's house in a fit of anger.

Wen Jingnian also came back from disaster relief, only to find out that his husband had escaped!

The old lady Wen was furious, and she looked like she wanted Wen Jingnian to divorce Pei Yi, but she was actually terrified to death.At the end of next month, she was afraid that the little overlord of the Pei family would return to Beijing and kill someone with a knife, so she always implied that Wen Jingnian would bring Pei Hui back as soon as possible.

Wen Jingnian was impatient for her, and wanted to take advantage of Pei Yi's absence to rectify the family style, and he had other political affairs at hand, so it has been delayed until today.

The husband and wife looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Wen Jingnian was a little embarrassed, and after a while he just said, "You've lost weight."

Pei Yi suppressed tears, looked away from the window, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Wen Jingnian softened his voice and moved closer to Pei Yi, "The end of the year is approaching, and there are many affairs in the mansion that need you to take care of."

"You!" Pei Hui was in a hurry, tears could not be held back, and fell down.He dried it quickly, turned around and said harshly: "I won't go back with you!"

Wen Jingnian frowned, and then relieved, "I know you are angry that I came to pick you up so late, but the matter in the mansion has not been cleared up, and I am so worried about taking you back, why don't you rest and relax here."

How could you know that you didn't want to cook raw rice with that distant cousin!

Pei Yi didn't want to hear another word from him, so he drove people out with a cold face.

Wen Jingnian tentatively wanted to hug Pei Yi into his arms, but just as his hand touched Pei Yi's shoulder, he was thrown away.

He thought he had been subdued and coaxed Pei Yi with kind words, but Pei Yi still had such a cold face, and he was also a little annoyed, and his words were a little aggressive, "What are you making trouble about? Pei Yi."

"If you really don't want to go back with me, why send the blueprint of the stove to Duan Yan!"

Duan Yan is Wen Jingnian's most capable servant, so there is no difference between sending it to him and sending it to Wen Jingnian.

Poor God!

When he sent the letter, he was thinking that Wen Jingnian would be able to push this new type of stove to the whole country and benefit the world after getting the blueprint.

Who sent the letter just to beg for peace and beg him to take him back!

Pei Yi was furious, lost his bearing for the first time, pointed at Wen Jingnian and said, "I want to make peace with you, Wen Jingnian!"

Wen Jingnian's face was gloomy, he almost gritted his teeth, "Be sober, Pei Yi."

His voice was icy cold, waking Pei Yi from his anger, "We are married by the royal family, it is impossible to get divorced."

The eldest son of the Hou family, the champion of Jinke, the son of the general family, the son of Duanfang who is well-known in Shengjing, the most loving couple in the world, why do they want to reconcile?

Wen Jingnian took a step forward and coaxed softly: "Pei Yi, stop making trouble, and come home with me?"

Tears flowed down Pei Yi's face, and he nodded, but his heart was dead silent.

Forget it, from now on, I no longer expect to be a loving couple, just treat each other as guests until I grow old.

The matter of the two of them was revealed so lightly, so Pei Yi took Wen Jingnian to visit Qiao Yuan and his wife.

The visit was false, but it was true that Wen Jingnian wanted to experience for himself whether the new stove was as good as Pei Yi's letter said.

Pei Yi originally wanted to remind Wen Jingnian not to put on airs like Mr. Wen in front of Qiao Yuan, but then he thought that Wen Jingnian always pretended to be a dog in front of outsiders, so he probably didn't need to remind him at all!

Sure enough, when Wen Jingnian saw Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan, it was not wrong to be polite at all.When asking Yu Dameng and Father Yu for advice, they both looked like serious and studious students asking the teacher for advice.

It made Father Yu feel uncomfortable, but Yu Dameng, who is big-hearted, can have an in-depth discussion with him on the topic of how to reduce costs and achieve the highest value.

Qiao Yuan invited Pei Yi to drink tea, "Are you reconciled?"

That day when Pei Yi left in a hurry, Chu Li complained to Qiao Yuan all afternoon about Mr. Pei's evil deeds!

Based on what Pei Yi told him earlier, Qiao Yuan probably guessed what happened to Pei Yi and his husband.However, he didn't want to say much about it.

Pei Yi shook his head, "No."

"It's just a matter of life," he added.

Qiao Yuan smiled and added tea to Pei Hou, "Of course you have to live life, but how you live is up to you. If others don't make it easier for you, don't make it easier for him either."

"It makes sense." Pei Yi and Qiao Yuan clinked glasses, and the annoyance he made to Wen Jingnian earlier made him figure out how the two of them would go in the future, the depression in his heart was relieved, and his face was not ashamed. No matter how depressed, there is a bit of carefree meaning.

He looked at Wen Jingnian who was squatting on the ground drawing pictures with Yu Dameng regardless of his appearance, then turned his head and said to Qiao Yuan, "But don't worry, he is a good official."

You can stay up day and night for the suffering of the people; you can speak directly to the Holy Majesty to impeach the prince in power because of an unjust, false and wrong case, how sharp and courageous it is.

There was a little smile in Qiao Yuan's eyes, he always felt that with Pei Yi's affection for Wen Jingnian, he couldn't be cruel at all, and the two of them would still entangle in the future.But Qiao Yuan didn't say it directly, but changed the subject, "How did you think about the hot pot last time?"

"I figured it out that day."

It was only interrupted by Wen Jingnian's sudden arrival.

Pei Yilue was a little embarrassed, "I have known you for a long time, and I have not revealed my identity. It is my fault."

"It doesn't matter." The three of them gradually became familiar with each other, but since they want to carry out long-term cooperation, it's better to know some details.

"I was originally the son of the general's mansion, and I married him later." Pei Yi glanced at Wen Jingnian and said calmly, "He was the number one scholar in Jian'an for 20 years, and now he is the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"General's Mansion?" Qiao Yuan was puzzled, "Is it General Pei Yan who guards the northwest?"

Pei Yi didn't expect Qiao Yuan to know his father's name, so he nodded happily, his eyes were clear, "Daddy is a hero in this world."

Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence."

"How to say?" Pei Yi was puzzled.

"My husband once served in the Northwest Army, under the command of the Major General." Qiao Yuan paused, "Well... he should be your younger brother or elder brother?"

It's really flooding the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family.

Pei Yi was a little excited, and now he felt that Qiao Yuan was kinder, "That's my younger brother!"

Qiao Yuan couldn't help laughing, fate is really a wonderful thing, "Then Ali said earlier that all the money you earned supported the border soldiers?"

Pei Yi nodded, and said eloquently: "Even if the imperial court allocates military expenses and exploits them layer by layer, there is not much left in the hands of the soldiers at the border. Although my father is in a high position, he is a military officer, and he is far away in the northwest. , For the matter of corrupt officials and officials, I really can't do it. I am a minister and a son, so I want to do a little bit for the border soldiers."

Qiao Yuan was greatly shocked. He came to this unknown dynasty alone, but in fact he didn't have much sense of identity with this dynasty.But throughout the ages, there has never been a shortage of righteous men who have served the country and the people.

Qiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I'll only take [-]% of the profit, and the rest can be counted as my husband and I's contribution to the border guards."

"No." Pei Hui shook his head and refused, "We are in a high position and eat the king's salary, so we need to take responsibility. You don't have to. We will conduct normal business transactions. I will provide manpower and storefronts, and you will provide prescriptions to profit us. How about four or six points?"

Qiao Yuan didn't answer, and explained: "When my husband served in the Northwest, he was still young, and he was taken care of by his uncle in the army. I did this to repay the kindness back then. Second, we are the people of the Chu Dynasty, and the soldiers at the frontier are also willing to fight on the battlefield. It is to protect us, since I have this ability, I should also contribute."

Pei Yi felt that something was wrong and wanted to say something, so Qiao Yuan took out the trick he used to deal with Yu Dameng, pretending to be angry, "Are you not treating me as a friend?"

Pei Yi couldn't help laughing, "You and A Li have similar temperaments." He thought for a while and added playfully: "As for A Li's identity, let him tell you himself!"

Qiao Yuan was ashamed, how many people with the honorable surname Chu in this world?

There is really no need to say any more!

The two men here finished discussing the business, and Yu Dameng and Wen Jingnian seemed to have finished discussing over there, and they all came here together.

Qiao Yuan looked at Yu Dameng with a smile, and when he approached, he stretched out his hand to help him brush off the dirt on his clothes, and asked, "How did the talk go?"

Yu Dameng nodded, with a smile in his eyes, and replied honestly, "I explained everything to Mr. Wen."

There was no special movement between the two, but there was a sense of warmth.

Wen Jingnian looked at Pei Cong suspiciously, but Pei Cong turned his face away and ignored him at all.

Wen Jingnian: "..."

After the two left, Qiao Yuanfang told Yu Dameng about Pei Yi's background.

Yu Dameng was very surprised, "He is the brother of the Major General?"

Then, Yu Dameng slapped his head and said, "I remembered!"

Qiao Yuan was taken aback by him, "What?"

"Last time, I saw the portrait of the young man who looked familiar to me on the major general's desk!"

Qiao Yuan: "..."

Vaguely seems to know some incredible gossip!

Wen Jingnian came here not only to pick up Pei Yi, but also to welcome Chu Li back to the palace.

Qiao Yuan originally wanted to practice it for them, but Chu Li was absolutely unwilling to sit at the same table with Wen Jingnian for dinner, and the matter of practicing it would be nothing.

On the day of departure, Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng went to see him off.

Chu Li was a little sad, hugged Qiao Yuan and said sullenly: "I can't bear you."

The palace rules are strict and the distance is far away. If we say goodbye today, we don't know when we will meet again in the future.

The two of them were one of the few friends Qiao Yuan had a good chat with after coming here, Qiao Yuan also felt a little sad, patted him on the back and said, "I will write to you often."

"That's it!" Chu Li's tone became cheerful again, "We still have business to do!"

Qiao Yuan took out a letter and handed it to Pei Yi, "I thought of another way to plant vegetables in winter as I mentioned before, but I don't know if it will work. I wrote it on paper, and you can try it try."

Pei Yi didn't see her again this time, so he accepted it, and they said goodbye.

Wen Jingnian's heart was itching, and he was eager to know how to grow vegetables in winter mentioned in the letter.

But after seeing it, Pei Yi and Chu Li seemed to have no intention of talking to him at all.

Wen Jingnian said with a little embarrassment, "Ah, what is the method mentioned in the letter?"

"Why should I tell you? This is what Ah Yuan told me and Ah Yi!" Chu Li said suddenly.

"Your Highness." Wen Jingnian frowned and explained, "If the method can be implemented, it will be a great thing to benefit the people if it is popularized."

Chu Li said angrily: "Then you don't have to worry! I'll have my father cut off your head when I go back!"

Wen Jingnian scoffed, and sneered coldly, "Your Highness, you should watch your own head first when you go back!"

Chu Li was furious, Wen Gou should be punished!
