Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chapter 163 The superficially glorious county owner

Lin Changqing entered the main room without entering the inner room. He asked through the inner door: "Chen Xi, are you up?"

Chen Xi said at the door: "Get up."

"You can take a shower and have breakfast together."

"it is good."

Then Lin Changqing came out, closed the door and left, without even looking at Aunt Qiu the whole time.

Aunt Qiu's face was solemn, she glanced at Dong Baozhen standing in the yard, and said in a deep voice: "Keep a close eye on me from now on, and never let the prince enter the county master's boudoir so casually again!"

Dong Baozhen had a respectful smile on her face: "I understand, Aunt Qiu, I'll go get the county chief some face wash."

Aunt Qiu nodded.

While Chen Xi was washing, he asked Dong Baozhen: "Has Aunt Qiu given you any trouble?"

Dong Baozhen shook his head: "Not yet."

"Well, if Aunt Qiu makes things difficult for you, you should come to me as soon as possible!"

"Okay, boss, don't worry, oh no, now it's time to call the county boss!"

Chen Xi laughed: "I'm still used to listening to my boss!"

"Then you will get used to listening to the county master in the future!"

At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly remembered that when she was at Yuelao Temple, the old gentleman called him "Empress" when she saw him. At that time, she thought that the old gentleman called him wrong. Could it be that the old gentleman had calculated in advance that she would be named "Empress"? The county mistress?

Soon, Chen Xi finished washing and prepared for breakfast.

Lin Changqing came as promised.

Aunt Qiu frowned and said, "Men and women are not allowed to eat at the same table at the age of seven. The prince and the county lord are neither relatives nor friends. It is better not to eat together in the future. Sir, please leave."

Lin Changqing snorted coldly: "Mother Qiu, just do your job well!"

What is Aunt Qiu's duty? She is to teach Chen Xi some things in the palace.

The rules, some common sense that the clan members should know!

Although Chen Xi is not a child of the clan, she is now named the county head. Even though she is a member of the royal family in name, she should naturally know about the affairs of the clan. At the same time, she also needs to go to the capital to thank the emperor. To thank the emperor, she must enter the palace, whether it is entering the palace or Every face has its own set of etiquette, and these are what Aunt Qiu should teach!

As for what Aunt Qiu has always emphasized, not letting Lin Changqing get close to Chen Xi. Although what she did is not wrong, if Lin Changqing insists on disobeying and Chen Xi does not follow Aunt Qiu's words, Aunt Qiu has nothing to do. of!

Lin Changqing is the eldest son of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, and Chen Xi is now the county head appointed by the emperor himself, and others have no control over them.

And after Chen Xi told Lin Changqing yesterday that she had admitted in public that she had made a lifelong commitment to him, Lin Changqing was even more bold and would not take Aunt Qiu's words to heart!

Anyway, he had already planned to ask the emperor to grant a marriage, and he had been laying the groundwork for so long. The emperor must have understood it already, otherwise he would not have suddenly made Chen Xi the county head!

Chen Xi, the county head, meant that the emperor silently approved of their marriage.

Even the emperor agreed, so what else did he have to fear?

Lin Changqing did not tell Chen Xi this, but from his attitude, Chen Xi understood that she and he did not need to care too much about the "difference between men and women" mentioned by Aunt Qiu.

This was Lin Changqing silently telling her that even if he was no longer by her side in the future, she wouldn't have to pay too much attention to what Aunt Qiu said.

To her, Aunt Qiu was just a nun who taught her the benefits of palace rules!

Lin Changqing and Chen Xi were eating as usual, while Aunt Qiu stood aside silently.

sound.

Chen Xi was still a little puzzled.

Wasn't Aunt Qiu here to teach her etiquette? Is there no problem with her eating etiquette?

But she won't take the initiative to ask. As long as Aunt Qiu doesn't speak, she will do whatever she has to do!

After dinner, Lin Changqing took Chen Xi to see Eunuch Yang again.

Unlike Aunt Qiu who wanted to stay and teach Chen Xi etiquette, Eunuch Yang would return to the capital after announcing his decree.

Eunuch Yang and Lin Changqing were also considered acquaintances, and he saluted immediately when he saw Lin Changqing.

"My servant Yang Quansheng pays his respects to the Crown Prince."

Lin Changqing helped Eunuch Yang up and said with a smile: "Eunuch Yang, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, and you are even more charming!"

Eunuch Yang smiled cheerfully: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I look at you, Your Majesty, and you are even more charming. I heard in the capital that you won another battle, Your Majesty. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep!"

"Haha, then I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep often in the future!"

"Oh, that servant is also willing. May the Crown Prince be victorious and win successive battles!"

Lin Changqing and Eunuch Yang chatted for a while, and then Eunuch Yang looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi quickly lowered his head and looked like he was listening attentively. Eunuch Yang gave Chen Xi a virtual support and said with a gentle smile: "The emperor ordered me to tell the county master that there is no need to be too anxious to go to Beijing to express gratitude, as long as it is done before the end of the year."

"Thank you for informing me, father-in-law. However, I am grateful for the divine grace and will leave for Beijing immediately after returning to Qingshui County to worship my ancestors."

Lin Changqing sent Eunuch Yang away, while Chen Xi stayed in the yard.

Taking advantage of Lin Changqing's departure, Aunt Qiu quickly said: "County Master, from now on, you have a distinguished status. Remember not to salute your father-in-law, maids and other slaves. It is beneath your status!"

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows: "Mom

Grandma misunderstood. I was not saluting, but just being respectful and polite. "

Aunt Qiu said with a cold eyebrow: "The county master does not need to be polite. The county master only needs to give orders to the slaves."

"understood!"

Chen Xi only felt that there was something wrong with this Aunt Qiu, but naturally she would not say these things out loud.

Anyway, she already felt that this Aunt Qiu might not like her, so she planned to just say "I know" no matter what she said!

Soon, Dong Baoshan hurried in, holding a lot of posts in his hand.

"County Lord, I have received many invitations since early this morning, all of them coming to visit you."

Chen Xi took the posts and looked through them, and found that they were all official wives and ladies in Hangzhou. There were even posts from Mrs. Xu!

In the past, she had zero interaction with these official ladies, and they never invited her.

But now that she has become the county head, they want to visit her!

Chen Xi shook his head helplessly.

She knew that there were many official ladies here who still looked down upon her and thought she was just unlucky.

Or maybe after learning about her relationship with Lin Changqing, she felt that she was able to get the county owner because of Lin Changqing.

But during dinner in the morning, Lin Changqing had already told her that the emperor gave her as the county chief mainly because of the compressed biscuit recipe she contributed, and the fact that Magistrate Xu asked the emperor for credit for her, and by the way, Lin Changqing also favored her on weekdays. Taken together, the emperor might have guessed the relationship between Lin Changqing and her, and was paving the way for them to be together in the future.

Moreover, Chen Xi has also understood that she, the county head, is actually a county head in name only.

It means that there is no title, but no land, only

He is a "glossy" county boss!

But even the superficially polished county boss is enough to bluff people. Otherwise, why would there be so many official ladies sending messages to visit her?

Maybe they despise her in their hearts, but as long as she has the status of county head, they have to "praise" her!

Chen Xi took these posts and finally realized the changes that the identity of the county head had brought to her!
