Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Aunt Gao cursed continuously outside the Chen Mansion, so that the people around could hear her clearly!

At first, everyone didn't know what happened, but as the word "Mrs. Zhongyonghou" spread, some people immediately thought that Chen Ji's other boss, General Lin, was said to be the legitimate son of Zhongyonghou Mansion, so could it be that Has the matter between Chen Ji’s boss Chen Xi and General Lin been known to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion in the capital?

But looking at the attitude of this old nanny, everyone knows the attitude of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion towards Chen Xi, the "daughter-in-law"!

For a time, rumors began to spread in Hangzhou that the Zhongyong Hou Mansion looked down on Chen Xi and did not recognize her as the crown prince's wife.

Chen Xi soon heard about this rumor, and Dong Baozhen told her angrily: "It must have been spread by the Gao family on purpose! How can the Gao family do this? Master, don't be angry, the general will definitely avenge you when he finds out." , teach the Gao family a lesson!"

Chen Xi shook his head: "I'm not angry, but tell me about the Zhongyong Hou Mansion!"

For the first time in so long, Chen Xi asked Dong Baozhen about the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

Chen Xi had never asked once before because she felt it was not the right time!

Maybe in the future, when she needs to know about the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, Lin Changqing will take the initiative to tell her.

But Lin Changqing hasn't told her yet that the Gao family related to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion has come!

Dong Baozhen immediately became excited when she heard Chen Xi asked about the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

"My boss, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion now has an old lady, the Marquis and his wife, as well as two young masters and a young lady. The general is the eldest son and the legitimate son, but he is not the current step-wife.

He was born to the former Mrs. Hou of the Cheng family in Tongzhou, but Mrs. Cheng died of illness when the general was a child. Later, the Marquis went to the current Chai family, and the Chai family gave birth to a young master and a young lady. He is also a direct descendant. "

Chen Xi understood immediately, "Where is Mr. Chai from?"

"The Marquis of Chai family is from the capital, and Mr. Chai is the Minister of Household Affairs. Mrs. Gao, Mrs. Chai, was unwell a few years ago and returned to the Gao family in Yangzhou to take care of herself. There are rumors in the capital that Mrs. Gao was disliked by Mr. Chai. The reason why She didn't explicitly say she was divorced, just for the sake of Mrs. Zhongyonghou, but to the outside world, Mrs. Gao is no longer allowed to call herself Mrs. Chai, only Mrs. Gao."

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, not expecting that the old lady of the Gao family had such a secret.

"Then the old lady of the Gao family sent that Aunt Gao to scare me. Do you think it was somewhat of a signal from Madam Hou in the capital?"

Dong Baozhen frowned and thought: "I have never met Mrs. Hou, but I heard that Mrs. Hou is a thoughtful person and would not do such a thankless thing and offend the general. So it is probably this confused old lady from the Gao family. Make your own decision!"

"Mrs. Hou is a thoughtful person?"

"Yes, the general has left the Hou Mansion since he was a child, just because Mrs. Hou has a sweet face and a bitter heart. The general has a hard time in the Hou Mansion, so he just went out to make a living on his own!"

"What about the Marquis?"

"There is a saying that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. If the Marquis can count on her, the general will not go out to make a living for himself. He will not be invited to be the crown prince until he has made great achievements!"

Chen Xi was surprised: "Does the Marquis intend to give the throne to the son of his step-wife?"

Dong Baozhen pouted: "Yes, Hou

Everyone in the house knows! Thanks to our general's success, he made great achievements last year. When he returned to the capital, the emperor personally summoned him and issued the imperial edict. The general became the righteous heir apparent of the Hou Mansion! However, the general does not care about the position of the heir apparent at all, but since it belongs to the general, there is no reason to take advantage of others! "

Chen Xi could tell from Dong Baozhen's words that Lin Changqing had a very bad relationship with his stepmother, Mrs. Hou.

"What is the apparent relationship between General Lin and his step-wife, Madam Hou?"

"The general left home early, and Mrs. Hou always praised the general in front of outsiders for his promise and ability. She said that the general earned his own merits and did not rely on the shelter of his family. This was obviously a compliment, but in fact it was paving the way for her son to succeed him. However, Now everything is ruined, I heard that Mrs. Hou has barely left the house in the past six months!"

Chen Xi's heart moved.

It seems that even though he is far away in Hangzhou, Lin Changqing knows everything about the affairs in the capital.

And the Dong brothers and sisters also know this information!

Since the last time Chen Xi told Lin Changqing that the Dong brothers and sisters were watching her at any time, Dong Baozhen no longer hid it. Otherwise, Chen Xi would not have told all the things about Zhongyong Hou Mansion when Chen Xi asked. come out.

Chen Xi had a general understanding of the relationship between Lin Changqing and his stepmother, Mrs. Hou, and he understood why Dong Baozhen asked her to ignore the Gao family.

Even Lin Changqing, the step-brother-in-law, paid no attention to her, let alone the Gao family who was almost left alone by the Chai family!

So the Gao family's trouble for her was not someone from the capital, so who could it be?

Chen Xi soon found out, because Mrs. Ji invited her to the Chenji Sanzhong Building again, and this time there was someone in the private room.

There is Grandma Gao.

It has been more than ten days since the last time Chen Xi asked Dong Baozhen to kick Aunt Gao out of the house. Unexpectedly, this Aunt Gao is still in Hangzhou and still with Mrs. Ji!

Chen Xi instantly understood that Mrs. Ji had come to the Gao family!

When Aunt Gao saw Chen Xi this time, she immediately snorted coldly: "Mrs. Ji, why did you invite such a merchant girl who doesn't understand the rules? We officials are most taboo about associating with these treacherous merchant girls. Don't let others misunderstand us." Follow the bad example!"

Mrs. Ji was happy when she heard Aunt Gao belittling Chen Xi, but she couldn't help but get angry when she saw that Aunt Gao actually spoke to her so rudely!

Usually, if this tall nun dared to sit down in front of her, she would just kowtow to her and then leave.

Now he not only sits with her, but also speaks before her!

Mrs. Ji was angry, but there was nothing she could do, because in terms of status, she was the personal nun of Mrs. Gao's family, and she was just the wife of an unqualified temporary official.

"Mother Gao, this is Chen Ji's store. You just said that the food is a bit stale, so I thought of calling Chen Ji's boss to explain it to you!"

Aunt Gao was not stupid, and she immediately understood the implication of Mrs. Ji's words.

"Boss Chen, is this how you, Chen Ji, do your business? You bring out stale dishes to fool your customers! How can you compensate someone if something goes wrong after eating them!"

Chen Xi said lightly: "Looking at Grandma Gao's angry look, she doesn't look like she's eaten bad. Don't be jealous because she was kicked out of my house two days ago because she made such nonsense, and deliberately slandered our Chen Ji's ingredients. It’s not new! After all, there were many people like this before

We did it, but they were all caught by us and reported to the government! If Aunt Gao insists that our Chen Ji’s food is not fresh and makes you hungry, why don’t I call the doctor right away? If the doctor can’t solve it, then we can just go to the prefect’s Yamen again! "

Seeing Chen Xi's fearless look and knowing her boldness, Aunt Gao really didn't dare to say that Chen Ji's ingredients were not fresh.

She couldn't help but look at Mrs. Ji on the side, hoping she would give her another trick!

But Mrs. Ji innocently looked back at Aunt Gao: Look what I'm doing. I came to you just to cause trouble for Chen Xi. You can't let me give you advice on everything!

Obviously, Aunt Gao and Mrs. Ji did not have the skill of being in sync with each other. After looking at each other for a while, Aunt Gao turned her head.

"Hmph, even if it's not because of your Chenji's ingredients, it must be because of your Chenji's bad environment. Or else it's because of you. When I see you, I feel sick in my heart and stomachache. Forget it, I can't eat any more. I'm leaving. Come on! Madam Ji, say goodbye!"

After speaking, Aunt Gao stood up and left, leaving Mrs. Ji alone in the private room, feeling embarrassed and embarrassed for a while.

However, Chen Xi refused to let her go and asked doubtfully: "Mrs. Ji, why do you have dinner with a woman like Aunt Gao who goes to other people's homes to talk about right and wrong? Do you have any friendship?"

Mrs. Ji forced herself to hold on and said coldly: "Aunt Gao is the personal nanny of Mrs. Zhongyong Hou's mother, and she is not a talkative mother-in-law. Mr. Chen, I advise you to speak with more respect!"

"Haha, Mrs. Ji is really joking. Mrs. Zhongyonghou's mother's family must be a well-educated and well-educated family. How could there be such an unknown person?

A vulgar woman who went to someone else's house and scolded the owner for no reason. I had doubted the identity of this grandma before, so I drove her away. Mrs. Ji, you must not be deceived by her. ! "

After hearing Chen Xi's words, Mrs. Ji's chest heaved with anger!

This merchant girl actually used such a messy method to defeat her plan! It really pissed her off!
