After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Pei Chuchu put down his brush.

There was a smile on her face.

Others looked at her and saw that her smile was gentler than that of a girl from Jiangnan. But if Xiao Mingyue and Ning Tingju were here, they would definitely be able to read the contempt in Pei Chuchu's expression.

She's just a female member of the prefect's family.

When she was in the palace of Chang'an, she had dealt with many dignitaries. Even the wife of the prime minister had to be courteous to her. Now that she was outside, she started to be bullied...

Just when she was unhappy, another maid came in and reported: "Miss, Mr. Chen is here in person."

The maids in Changlexuan are all Pei Chuchu's own. She doesn't like to be called young lady, so behind the scenes, these maids still call her girl.

Pei Chuchu glanced at the door of the elegant seat.

The gentleman who knocked on the door was no more than twenty years old. He wore a jade belt and a brocade robe and stood in the wind with jade trees. He was handsome and fair-skinned. He had the appearance of a noble son from the south of the Yangtze River.

He put the box of peach blossom cakes he had brought on the table, glanced at the letter he had not given him in time, and said softly: "Today is my sister's birthday party, and you don't want to go back? This is an excuse for the restaurant being busy. , just don’t use it anymore, eh?”

Pei Chuchu said: "We agreed at the beginning that we only have a mutually beneficial relationship. I have nothing to do with your family. What does your sister's birthday have to do with me?"

The sunset is gentle.

Chen Mianguan looked at her.

The girl's cheeks are as white as jade, her eyebrows are red and her lips are gorgeous, and her gestures reveal the magnanimity of a lady. It is difficult for ordinary people to raise such a girl. Even if his sister comes from an official family, she can't compare. When Shang Pei Chuchu came, he was astonished and extremely beautiful.

But the corners of her brows and eyes were full of coolness.

It was a chilling feeling that made one's heart palpitate.

Like the moon on a high mountain, it cannot be approached or played with...

Pei Chuchu licked his broken hair at the temples. Seeing that he was in a daze, he called out, "Mr. Chen?"

Chen Mianguan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "My mother and sister urged me to take you home. Chuchu, my sister only gives birth once a year. For my sake, you can at least accommodate her, but Okay? She is young and ignorant, so please let her go."

Young and ignorant...

It turns out that eighteen years old is still considered young.

She is only two years older than Chen Mianfang.

Pei Chuchu looked cold and held up his hairpin in front of the bronze mirror beside the desk: "It's okay to let me go to the birthday banquet, but what can Mr. Chen pay for me? I am a businessman, and the most important thing is interests."

Chen Mianguan looked at her.

Pei Chuchu was just a commoner woman. As the direct son of the prefect, he had a much higher status than her, but every time he dealt with her, he always felt a strange sense of inferiority.

Like the girl in front of me...

It's not something he can control.

He thought so, still with a smile on his face: "There is a new street on South Street, and it will definitely become the most prosperous area in Suzhou City in the near future. The shops and buildings there are hard to find, and you have to rely on connections to get them. , and I can help you get the best location. Wouldn’t it be nice to open another Changlexuan and make double the money?”

Pei Chuchu's eyes moved slightly.

She glanced at Chen Mianguan in the bronze mirror.

She calmly picked up the jade earrings and put them on her earrings: "Deal."

Chen Mianguan immediately smiled.

He sat down and waited for Pei Chuchu to dress and change clothes. He couldn't help but scan the entire seating area.

The elegant furnishings in the dining room were not decorated with gold or silver, but the pens, inks, paper and inkstones on the desk, as well as the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, were all priceless, even more valuable than his father's study.

Pei Chuchu, this woman, was said to have fled from the north and was an ordinary girl from a merchant family. However, her vision and courage were astonishing, and the wealth she had accumulated in two years also shocked him.

When they first met two years ago, he was amazed by Pei Chuchu's appearance. At that time, he had the idea of ​​​​taking her as his own. However, the girl was aloof and unapproachable, so he had to use a roundabout way to get her to marry him.

He thought that two years would be enough time to conquer her with his looks and talents, but he didn't expect that Pei Chuchu would be completely unmoved!

only……

No matter how noble she is, isn't she still addicted to money and power?

He randomly threw out a shop as a benefit, and she couldn't wait to bite the bait.

It can be seen that she is only interested in profit and is not as elegant and unrestrained as she appears. No matter how proud and noble she is, Pei Chuchu is just a vulgar fan after all.

Sooner or later, he would call her to Cheng Huan's tent.

Thinking of this, Chen Mianguan felt much more balanced.

Those feelings of inferiority quietly dissipated, leaving only a strong sense of self-confidence.

…

When we arrived at Chen Mansion, it was completely dark.

Since we had entertained foreign guests at noon, all the people attending the dinner were our own family members.

The prefecture lady Chen Mianfang curiously looked through the birthday gift from Pei Chuchu: "It's just a set of jade jewelry? Sister-in-law, didn't my brother tell you that I don't like jade? I want a set of pure gold jewelry, pure gold looks better! Changle Xuan's business is so good, sister-in-law, are you too stingy? You can't even give away goldware..."

As she spoke, her face grew longer and longer, and her mouth pursed.

Pei Chuchu ate tea calmly.

That set of emerald heads and faces is worth two thousand taels of silver with snowflake patterns.

Isn't she satisfied with this?

She thought and glanced at Chen Mianguan.

Chen Mianguan quickly smoothed things over with a smile: "It's not easy to go home in Chuchu, let's start the dinner quickly? I'm a little hungry, please come and serve the food!"

Mrs. Qin, the prefect's wife, sneered: "You have been out in public all day long, and you still know that it's not easy to go home?"

The atmosphere at the table became tense again.

Mrs. Qin kept chattering: "We have been married for two years, and there is no movement in my stomach. Even the hens raised in the kitchen know how to lay eggs, but she is like a piece of wood! Guan'er, I look at you, this wife I got married in vain!”

Chen Mianfang held the gift and sneered in agreement.

Chen Mianguan glanced at Pei Chuchu cautiously.

She was clearly just a fragile girl, but she seemed to have experienced strong winds and waves, and still remained eerily calm.

He thought for a moment, held her hand, and whispered in her ear: "For my sake, please be a little more aggrieved..."

After admonishing him, he loudly said: "What mother said is that Chuchu is indeed not good. From now on, I will often take Chuchu home to greet you and respect you well. Chuchu's Changlexuan business is very good, you Don’t you like the Jade Guanyin? Just ask her to spend a lot of money to order one for you. You think so, Chuchu?”

He looked at Pei Chuchu expectantly.

The first step in taming a girl is to make her obedient.

Even if it's just a disguise in front of others, if she wears the mask for a long time, she will gradually feel that she is indeed a member of this house, and she really needs to respect the people in the house.

Pei Chuchu held the tea cup elegantly, his mind so clear that it was terrifying.

They were just a couple in name only, so she didn't want to spend too much money on this family.

She relies on her own money for food and clothing, and she doesn't rely on anyone else. Why should she swallow her anger and try every means to please Qin?

She was a little tired of this fake marriage.

She smiled and said: "I have never asked for gifts from my husband, but he cares about my money. My mother-in-law wants Jade Guanyin, and I just use my salary to buy it for her. Why do I use my money to show off?"

Her tone was gentle and gentle, but her words were full of contempt.
