Chapter 11
This continued until after noon, after lunch.

Lu's has the habit of taking a nap, so he sent a few children to rest or play by themselves.

In addition to his daily inspections in the fields, Pei Songde also has a small grocery store in Xicheng. Although the business is only ordinary, according to the usual practice, he will go to see it every day, and he will not come back for lunch.

Pei Yue and Chen Ling went to play by themselves, Chen Miao was bored and a little sleepy, seeing that it was still early, she also planned to go back to her room to take a nap.

As soon as the door was pushed open and before they stepped into the room, they heard the sound of arguing in the yard.

She turned around in surprise, and saw a slender young man in a blue brocade robe standing with his back facing her at the side wall of the yard. Opposite the young man, the butler Old Wang had a bitter expression on his face. whispering something.

The young man became impatient and yelled loudly: "Whoever wants to marry whomever, it's none of my business? I won't see you!"

Old Wang seemed to raise his eyes and saw Chen Miao who was about to enter the door but was looking at them. He said a few more words in a low voice, and the young man suddenly turned around and looked towards her.

Chen Miao was startled, but before she could react, the young man suddenly strode towards Chen Miao.

Chen Miao was taken aback. The young man was tall and had long legs, and the distance of dozens of steps seemed to be reached in an instant.

This was the first time that Chen Miao saw Pei Jing head-on. Pei Jing was tall, almost a head taller than her, with a good figure. He was wearing a blue brocade robe, which was very slender and good-looking.

Unlike the drunken glimpse that night, at this moment Pei Jing was really standing in front of her, making it even more apparent that the young man in front of him had red lips and white teeth, and that beautiful almost delicate face, Chen Miao couldn't believe it, his appearance was plain. How could loyal Pei Songde give birth to such a beautiful child?
Chen Miao looked at the young man in front of her with a numb scalp, and stared at herself condescendingly. The hot air from his nose almost sprayed onto her face.

She couldn't help taking a small step back, her cheeks were slightly flushed: "What are you going to do?"

Pei Jing did not hide his impatient disgust, folded his arms and snorted coldly: "I don't care who you are, just let me go back to you wherever you come from!"

Chen Miao was a little bit ashamed and a little bit at a loss, guessing that this young man would not accept this marriage easily, but he did not expect his reaction to be so strong.

She took another small step back, trembling her lips. Just as she was about to explain something, she heard a cold voice from the opposite side: "Bastard! Marriage matters are all ordered by parents, how can you let me dictate?"

Chen Miao turned her head and saw Lu standing in front of the corridor with an angry face, glaring at Pei Jing.

She pointed at Chen Miao and said coldly: "Her name is Chen Miao. She is 16 years old. You two should get to know each other. After a while, when your father comes back, we will find someone to count the days. You should get married as soon as possible so that you won't be out of tune all day long." You are wild. After you get married, you will be an adult, and you will either learn to farm with your father, or manage the shop at home, and you will be idle all day long, what does it look like?"

Chen Miao lamented in her heart, such a meeting, how could she leave the other party with half a favor?Although Aunt Pei's intentions were good, but according to Pei Jing's temperament, it would be self-defeating.

Sure enough, when Pei Jing heard her mother's words, he immediately cried out: "Mother, why did you just let me marry any woman? I have never seen her before, and I don't know her. Do you know that she married into our family because she is thinking about it?" What are you thinking?"

Chen Miao curled her lips, but she thought in her heart, if it wasn't for my family's decline, I would still despise your family's money.The husband's family that my father chose for me back then, which one is not a hundred times better than yours?
What's more, with your temperament, if I hadn't agreed to Uncle Pei, I'm afraid you will be single in this lifetime.

Thinking about it, it showed that Chen Miao had a gentle and virtuous appearance, she stood obediently on the side and did not reply at all. The serious headed mistress was over there, and it was not her turn to intervene to teach this dude a lesson.

After some quarreling, countless servants secretly stopped to watch. Lu Shi was so angry that he was shaking all over. The eldest son contradicted her in front of so many servants and his future wife, which made her feel shameless.

But after all, the mistress has been in charge for so many years, and the kid on the other side was born by herself, so he knows how to deal with it.

At that moment, he smiled coldly, and said to Juan'er who was standing aside with his head bowed: "Juan'er, go to the young master's room and give me all his private money, and tell the accountant that you are not allowed to pay the young master any more money from now on." .”

Pei Jing suddenly yelled: "Mom, how can you do this?"

Juan'er turned pale, and secretly glanced at Pei Jing, but dared not listen to Lu's words, and went into Pei Jing's bedroom.

Chen Miao secretly gave a thumbs up, clever!
Treat a prodigal son like Pei Jing, don't put a penny in his purse, and see what he spends on it.

Juan'er quickly came out of the house, holding a money box in her hand.

Seeing the box in her arms, Pei Jing shouted, "Juan'er, don't take it away!"

Mrs. Lu snorted violently, and said to the servants standing on both sides watching the excitement: "What are you doing in a daze! Go and take off the young master's clothes, and remove all the valuable things in the room, so that he won't have to use his brain again." , Take those things as flower wine!"

Chen Miao couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing with a "puchi". Pei Jing gave her a vicious look, and before she could speak, two servants came over, hurriedly taking his water-blue brocade robe Picked it off.

Pei Jing said angrily, "Then what should I wear?"

Lu said indifferently: "Old Wang, go to the warehouse and get a set of clothes worn by servants for the eldest young master. If he wants to go out wearing such clothes, then let him go."

Lao Wang quickly agreed, turned around and went to the warehouse, and really took out the blue-gray coarse clothes worn by the servants.

Pei Jing glanced at the dress in disgust, curled her lips and said, "It's so ugly, if I go out in this dress, I'll be laughed to death by those guys..."

Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Lu said in a low voice: "When your father was young, he wore such clothes for more than ten years before he got his current family business. You can't wear what he wears? Old Wang, send someone to look at it. Young master, before we get married, he is not allowed to step out of this courtyard again."

Lao Wang agreed, and Lu's glanced at Chen Miao, who was standing on the side in a well-behaved manner, but she couldn't see clearly the true thoughts of this gentle-faced girl.

But since she has already promised this marriage, no matter what kind of temperament her son is in her eyes, she will not allow her to go back on his word.

Mrs. Lu sighed silently, turned around and left with her maid.
