Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chen Xi still didn't understand the intention of the prefect's wife to suddenly invite her to the banquet. In addition, the women present were all from official families. This was the first time for Chen Xi to contact these people. Following the principle of talking less, watching more and eating more, no one talked to her. When she was talking, she kept her mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Xu Lanying was sitting on the sofa, sipping warm longan and red date tea, but she was actually looking at Chen Xi with her head tilted.

She was very curious and admired Chen Xi before, but ever since she heard that Lin Changqing, the eldest son of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, hugged her in the street, she could no longer like Chen Xi!

Xu Lanying is fifteen this year and has not yet been engaged. She heard her mother mention it before that General Lin from Qinglang Camp is young and promising and is a good husband candidate.

She had not met Lin Changqing at that time, but when she heard that he was marching and fighting, she felt unhappy.

What she likes are elegant and unrestrained literati, and she is not interested in the rich and powerful generals at all!

Then she heard from her mother that General Lin turned out to be the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion in the capital. He had a high status, and she was afraid that her family would not be able to reach him. Xu Lanying was quite happy.

But before the Mid-Autumn Festival, she saw a young man galloping away on horseback on the roadside, and she fell in love with him at first sight.

Later, after some inquiring, I found out that it was General Lin from the Qinglang Camp, the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion!

It turns out that it was him that my mother was talking about before!

Xu Lanying began to pay attention to Lin Changqing, inquired about her from various channels, learned about his heroic deeds, and learned that he was one of Chen Ji's employers.

In order to know more about Lin Changqing, Xu Lanying began to tell her mother about Chen Ji intentionally or unintentionally.

After it was announced to the public that her own chef had steamed the steamed buns that were soft and fragrant after testing, Xu Lanying's favorable impression of Chen Jidong's family skyrocketed, and she often said good things about Chen Xi in front of her mother.

But all this time, no matter how much Xu Lanying said good things about Chen Xi in front of her, Mrs. Xu would not allow her daughter to make friends with Chen Xi.

Because Chen Xi is a business woman!

And her daughter is the prefect’s daughter!

How can they become friends when their identities are so different?

Xu Lanying has been worrying about how to get her mother to agree to her dating Chen Xi. Only by dating Chen Xi can she find out about Lin Changqing from Chen Xi.

I heard that Lin Changqing was not often in Hangzhou, and there was little news about him outside. Those who knew about him were people within Chen Ji, but they were vague and did not dare to talk about him.

Who would have thought that two days ago, her mother suddenly said that she planned to invite Chen Xi to a banquet and asked her to be responsible for the reception.

Xu Lanying had been excited for several days, but just the day before yesterday, she suddenly learned that Lin Changqing actually embraced Chen Xi in the street, and had people drive away the scholars who wrote love poems to her in front of Chen Xi's door. Doesn't this mean something?

Xu Lanying felt that the sky was about to collapse for a moment. She had been crying every day for the past two days. Today she was holding back her sadness just to sit here. How could she still be in the mood to entertain Chen Xi?

But her mother didn't know that she thought she liked Chen Xi very much, so she asked her to entertain Chen Xi.

Xu Lanying couldn't tell her mother that she liked Chen Xi because she wanted to know about Lin Changqing. Now that she knew that Lin Changqing's heart belonged to Chen Xi, she didn't want to have any conversation with Chen Xi at all!

"Ying Niang, how do you look today?

I'm a little unhappy here. Tell us what you're unhappy about. If you say it, you won't feel so stuffy in your heart! "

Xu Lanying glanced at the girl who was speaking. She was the eldest daughter of Yang Tongpan's family. Yang Tongpan was in charge of various rituals in Hangzhou. Her daughter was also the best at dropping school bags.

Xu Lanying usually hates Miss Yang, but today she rolled her eyes and said, "Miss Yang, I watched a drama recently and got angry!"

"What drama?"

"I just passed by and took a look, and I didn't know the name. It was a little maid who didn't know the etiquette and hugged a man on the street. But others scolded the young master of the maid's family, saying that the little maid is so shameless. She must be a normal person. I'm used to messing around with my own son at home, what's the point of this?"

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and they don’t know what’s so annoying about this.

Moreover, they, the ladies from official families, have known since childhood that the meaning of words spoken in their mouths is not actually what they mean on the surface, and the real meaning is hidden beneath the surface.

No matter how much they thought about it, they couldn't figure out the meaning behind Miss Xu's words.

But among the people present, there was one person who understood immediately. This person was Chen Xi!

Chen Xi finally understood why this Miss Xu looked gentle to her in front of Mrs. Xu and then turned her face away. It turned out that the root cause was here!

Lin Changqing is such a disaster!

But Chen Xi just pretended that she didn't understand what Miss Xu said and kept eating the pastry with her head down. Anyway, this pastry was made by Chen Ji, so she felt comfortable eating it!

Although Xu Lanying was talking to others, she kept observing Chen Xi's expression and found that she didn't seem to hear her at all.

Her words were the same, and I couldn't help but despise him in my heart.

My mother was right, she was really a lowly business woman, she just had no shame and no etiquette!

Over there, Miss Yang was still racking her brains to flatter Xu Lanying: "Mrs. Ying, don't be angry. The opera is all made up, and it may also be a foreshadowing. Did you find out later whether the young master is a real gentleman or a hypocrite?"

Xu Lanying hummed: "The young master is naturally a gentleman, and everything was caused by the little maid who did not know how to behave. You must take good care of the little maids in your family, so as not to make people mistakenly think that your family's family tradition is not good in the future! "

All the ladies responded for a moment, but Chen Xi remained silent.

Xu Lanying asked directly: "Dong Chen, why don't you speak?"

Chen Xi swallowed the cake in his mouth first, and then said under the gaze of everyone: "My younger brother is only ten years old and studying in the academy in his hometown. I am alone here. I have no maids at home, only a good friend who often Stay with me."

Everyone knew who the good friend Chen Xi was talking about and couldn't help but look not far away.

While the masters were sitting here chatting, the maids at home would go to the other side to chat together.

But only Chen Xi's maid stood alone, not joking with the other maids, and always staring here.

The reason why Dong Baozhen stared here was to prevent someone from suddenly hurting Chen Xi, so that she could stop him as soon as possible when he saw the signs.

The general asked her to protect her master. She knew very well that this kind of situation was no less dangerous than the light and shadow of swords!

The bright light and shadow of swords can also prevent and dodge, but this kind of

Hidden dangers are what make people unable to guard against them, and they can catch them accidentally!

She couldn't imagine how angry the general would be if Chen Xi was injured and plotted here, so she was even more nervous than usual, almost staring at him with a keen eye!

When she saw the people over there looking towards her, she frowned and was about to come over, but saw Chen Xi smiling at her and shaking his head. Dong Baozhen stood still again and continued to be prepared!

And their natural reaction, to be honest, made the other ladies stunned.

So he's not a master and a servant, but a friend?
