Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chai Manru, the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, sent someone to call Chen Xi’s house this time. Her original intention was to let everyone in the capital take a look. Even though Lin Changqing used his military exploits to get the emperor to make his sweetheart the county head, this civilian The county leader still has to be humble in front of her and serve her!

Chai Manru has a good plan. As long as Chen Xi comes to Zhongyong Hou Mansion, she will not let her pass easily.

First of all, during this period, she planned to let Chen Xi stay in the Hou Mansion and let Chen Xi serve her. Even if the powerful people in the capital wanted to make friends with Chen Xi, they had to get through her first!

After all, she is Chen Xi's future mother-in-law. As long as Chen Xi wants to enter the gate of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, he must obey her words and be a lowly person in front of her!

In this way, it is impossible for Chen Xi to have her own social circle and make friends with her own forces. Even as the county head, she is still under her control.

She planned it well, but who would have thought that Chen Xi would just ignore her without accepting the move!

Chai Manru knew that Chen Xi, a merchant girl, would not dare to do this. I am afraid that Lin Changqing taught her all this!

When it comes to Lin Changqing, Chai Manru hates it to the core!

She was originally the wife of Marquis Zhongyong, and she always had a good reputation in the first few years, until Lin Changqing left the Marquis Zhongyong's mansion without saying a word and went to join the army!

All of a sudden, rumors began to circulate in Beijing that she abused her first wife's legitimate son!

She said that she had been pretending for the past few years. After having her own biological son, she finally showed her true colors, forcing her first wife and legitimate son to stay at home. She even did not dare to inherit the Marquis's family business, so she could only go out and work hard on her own. !

Chai Manru secretly hated Lin Changqing for having such courage at such a young age!

but

Fortunately, she had been pretending to be in front of Zhongyong Hou for several years. Zhongyong Hou Lin Guangxiao was coaxed by Chai Manru to say that he would not go east, so Zhongyong Hou thought that Lin Changqing was deliberately looking for trouble. In anger, he actually ignored Lin Guangxiao who ran away from home. The eldest son.

Lin Guangxiao originally planned to see how long Lin Changqing could persist, and then come back when he couldn't survive outside, so he ignored him.

Chai Manru wanted Lin Changqing to die on the battlefield, so he usually said bad things about Lin Changqing, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that Lin Changqing was willful and irritable, and then asked his own children to please Lin Guangxiao.

Marquis Zhongyong had a baby and a young daughter at his knees, so he could not think of his rebellious eldest son, so Lin Changqing stayed in the military camp like this for several years, until news of his military exploits reached the capital, and Marquis Zhongyong's mansion followed Lin Changqing in receiving a reward. Only then did the Zhongyong Hou Mansion pay attention to this eldest son again.

But after so many years, the relationship between father and son has turned into ice. Faced with the care of Marquis Zhongyong, Lin Changqing doesn't care at all!

Marquis Zhongyong got cold looks from Lin Changqing several times and became angry. In anger, when he should have invited Lin Changqing to be crowned prince, he chose not to report it to the emperor.

Chai Manru became even more happy. She only waited for her son to reach an age before asking Lin Guangxiao to request an order. By then, it would be a done deal and it would be too late for Lin Changqing to regret it!

It is a pity that as Lin Changqing's achievements have increased in recent years, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion has become the focus of the dignitaries in the capital, and has also become a joke after dinner.

Marquis Zhongyong knew that everyone was laughing at him for mistook the fish eyes for pearls, but instead left the real pearls outside and didn't care!

Lin Guangxiao also wanted to lose face. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

, the relationship between father and son has been frozen.

Knowing that the year before last, Lin Changqing had another great victory in suppressing bandits, and the emperor began to mention Lin Changqing frequently in the court, and his words were all praises, Lin Guangxiao finally understood that now the real "nobleman" of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion is no longer him, the bald prince, but The eldest son who was deeply loved by the emperor, he quickly tried to find ways to ease the relationship.

But Lin Changqing, who was still young in the past, no longer cares about him. Will Lin Changqing, who is now a mature man, still pay attention to him?

But Lin Guangxiao really understood this time, so no matter how coldly Lin Changqing gave him, he didn't care. As soon as the emperor mentioned the prince, he immediately requested an order.

However, when the news that Lin Changqing liked a commoner woman reached the capital, Lin Guangxiao directly opposed it and wrote a letter telling Lin Changqing that he would never agree to him marrying a commoner woman.

Of course, Lin Changqing would not reply to him, but Lin Guangxiao understood this matter. Without his nod, Lin Changqing would not be able to marry someone in anyway, so he was not worried at all.

He began to look for a noble girl from aristocratic families in the capital for Lin Changqing. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the commoner girl was named the county head by the emperor!

Lin Guangxiao was so angry that he immediately secretly asked someone to make Chen Xi "die" of illness on the way to the capital!

However, Lin Guangxiao thought so, but Chai Manru strongly agreed with Lin Changqing's willingness to marry a commoner woman, so she secretly changed the order and asked Aunt Qiu to only teach Chen Xi a lesson and make her lose face with her minor faults. Don't let anyone die of illness!

Until Chen Xi came to Beijing, Marquis Zhongyong, as a man, could not take action himself, so he told Chai Manru several times to let her do everything possible.

Quickly find a way to get rid of Chen Xi's idea of ​​marrying into the Zhongyong Hou Mansion!

Chai Manru deliberately said that she could make things difficult for Chen Xi several times, letting her know that even though she was the county head now, she could not enter the gate of Zhongyong Hou Mansion, so that she could retreat in spite of the difficulties.

Marquis Zhongyong just wants that Lin Changqing and Chen Xi can't get together smoothly. As for the means, he doesn't care, let Chai Manru take care of it by himself!

For this reason, Chai Manru openly used people from the Hou's Mansion to call Chen Xi, sure that Chen Xi, a commoner woman, would rush over as soon as she saw the carriage from the Hou's Mansion.

She had already prepared various means to deal with Chen Xi, but who knew that Chen Xi directly refuted her face, so she became extremely angry!

Naturally, Chen Xi had no idea about these actions of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Lin Changqing would never tell her these things.

But from the fact that Lin Changqing didn't mention anything, and that he left home at a young age to join the army and work alone, it can be seen that his relationship with his family is not good.

Besides, she also knew that Mrs. Zhongyonghou was the stepmother and not Lin Changqing's biological mother, so what did Chen Xi have to worry about?

Her attitude towards the Zhongyong Hou Mansion all depends on Lin Changqing's attitude!

If Lin Changqing has an easing attitude towards her family, then she will naturally have a good attitude towards the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

But now Lin Changqing didn't give her any signal, so she didn't need to pay attention.

What's more, the person coming is not Zhongyong Hou, Lin Changqing's biological father, but the step-wife of Zhongyong Hou's house who has nothing to do with Lin Changqing, so Chen Xi doesn't need to pay attention to it!

So what Chen Xi said about visiting another day was just a casual comment.

Today is already the fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there will be a palace banquet on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Chen Xi must prepare well for her first palace banquet in the past few days.

, where do you have time to pay attention to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion?

Chen Xi asked Dong Baoshan: "Did you send a greeting card to Beihou Mansion today?"

The wife of the Prince of Dingbei is Lin Changqing's cousin Ji Siyuan. Chen Xi entered the palace today, but asked Dong Baoshan to deliver a message to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Dong Baoshan heard this and returned: "Master, the Dingbei Hou Mansion has sent a reply, and the Crown Prince's wife will come to visit you tomorrow!"

Chen Xi nodded, "Tell me about the Crown Prince's wife."

"Yes, the Crown Prince's wife is the youngest daughter of the Jiang family's only biological aunt. She is married to the Crown Prince of Dingbei and now has a daughter. I heard that the Crown Prince's life in the Hou's mansion is not easy!"

"Oh why?"

Chen Xi thought that Lin Changqing asked his cousin to take care of her because his cousin was living a good life and was able to take care of her.

But listening to Dong Baoshan's words, it seems that this is not what he meant.

Could it be that Lin Changqing was planning to ask her to help his cousin in times of need?

Sure enough, the next moment I heard Dong Baoshan say: "Because the Dingbei Marquis Mansion has declined, and now it has the reputation of a Marquis Mansion, but not the reality of the Marquis Mansion. The four rooms in the Marquis Mansion are all supported by the Marquis's one room. Life is really hard!”

Chen Xi couldn't help laughing.

Hard?

To put it bluntly, there is no money!

Fortunately, she is rich!

Not only is she rich, she makes money!

Chen Xi completely understood Lin Changqing's intention!
