Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow!

But precisely because it is difficult, it is precious!

Chen Xi does not plan to develop in the capital, so she will leave the capital after this new year. She only needs to send people to the capital to give gifts during the holidays to show that she has not forgotten to honor the emperor and the empress.

However, it is impossible for her not to come to the capital for the rest of her life, so she still has to show her face in the capital every few years.

For example, this time, the Queen will be 45 years old in February next year. She will definitely celebrate the Qianqiu Festival, and she will also have to celebrate the Qianqiu Festival before leaving.

Next October will be the Emperor's Longevity Festival. Although 46 is an inappropriate age, the Emperor celebrates his birthday every year, and it will definitely be the same next year. By then, she will have to go to the capital in advance to celebrate the Emperor's birthday.

Then October will come next year, and I’m afraid I’ll have to wait until February next year to confirm that the Queen will not be celebrating the Thousand Autumn Festival before leaving.

After all this calculation, she has spent a lot of time in the capital in recent years.

This time can't be wasted, always find something to do.

Naturally, she still wants to drive Chen Ji to the capital. Lin Changqing is one of the partners, but after all, Lin Changqing will no longer stay in the capital, so she needs to find someone who will stay in the capital permanently.

Chen Xi originally planned to partner with Lin Changqing's cousin, because Lin Changqing only told her that she could trust this cousin.

Now that she knew that his cousin was living in poverty, she had to cooperate with him even more.

“Has anyone else sent in a post today?”

"There is Princess Rongchang, and there is Princess Yunling. Princess Rongchang invites you to the plum blossom appreciation banquet held by her on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and Princess Yunling is planning to visit you on the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month."

Only two posts, Princess

It would be appropriate to invite her and have the county magistrate pay her a visit.

"Please stay here, and remind me when the day comes, and make preparations to welcome Mrs. Dingbei Hou Shizi to visit tomorrow."

Chen Xi just arrived yesterday and just cleaned up briefly. There is still more to clean up today.

She didn't go out, she just walked around the house.

Although this house only has three entrances, it occupies a very large area, which will be very convenient if you want to expand it in the future.

However, such a big house requires a lot of people to run. Chen Xi thought about buying more slaves and let Dong Baoshan handle it.

Early the next morning, Chen Xi got up to dress up and waited for Ji Siyuan to come to the door.

Ji Siyuan came in the morning, and she only had a mother-in-law and two maids with her, mainly to take care of her two-year-old daughter.

Chen Xi was the first to greet her: "My sister has met the Crown Prince's wife."

Ji Siyuan quickly helped Chen Xi up: "Oh, the county master can't do it, how can you salute me!"

Chen Xi smiled and said: "You are Changqing's cousin, so naturally you are also my cousin."

When Ji Siyuan heard what Chen Xi said, he smiled heartily: "You're taking advantage of that bad boy Chang Qing!"

Chen Xi was determined.

Hearing the meaning of these words, Ji Siyuan did not despise her and recognized that she was with Lin Changqing.

Apart from the unclear attitude of the emperor and empress, this was the first person Chen Xi met in Beijing who supported her and Lin Changqing's relationship, and she naturally felt more cordial in her heart.

"Chang Qing told me in the letter that I should get closer to my cousin when I come to the capital. My cousin knows that I know how to do business and I don't know how to do business. I can't sit still when I come to the capital. I plan to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to find some friends. A good shop opened a restaurant. I was new here and I wasn’t familiar with it, so my sister helped me find the shop. In addition,

When I'm not in the capital, my sister helps me look after the restaurant, and I give her [-]% of the dividends! "

After Chen Xi finished speaking, Ji Siyuan's eyes flickered.

Not only did Chen Xi receive Lin Changqing's letter, but Ji Siyuan also received it.

In the letter, Lin Changqing asked her to take care of Chen Xi after he came to the capital. He also told her that if Chen Xi invited her to do business together, she would just agree because he was also one of Chen Ji's bosses and the three of them were doing business together. Couldn't be more appropriate!

Ji Siyuan has long been looking forward to Chen Xi's arrival in the capital, because it is not Chen Xi or Lin Changqing who is eager to do business together, but her!

She knew her own life. Four years after marrying into the Dingbei Hou Mansion, her life had been extremely frustrating.

To outsiders, she seems to be the wife of the Crown Prince, but in fact she is the mother-in-law of the Beihou Mansion!

The whole family had to rely on her dowry for food, drink and sleep. In just four years, her dowry was almost squandered!

His father-in-law and husband had been guarding the border for many years. They had to rush to provide the military with the money they got, and the family couldn't take care of it at all.

Although her mother was the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, she was not, and she was married to a Marquis who held military power. Naturally, everyone in her husband's family looked down upon her, except her husband!

She swallowed her anger and only waited for her husband to make contributions in the border area so that she could one day get ahead!

But I don’t know how long it will take for her husband to achieve success, and now her dowry can no longer support the expenses of the Marquis!

Chen Xi's arrival was a good time for her to give her a pillow when she felt sleepy. She was very positive.

But no matter how positive she is in her heart, she still has to be reserved on the outside.

Ji Siyuan smiled: "Whatever the county master said, Changqing was also in the letter."

You have told me to take good care of you. Since my sister has asked me to help you find a shop, I will try my best to help you find it, and I’ll take my share! "

Chen Xi took Ji Siyuan's hand: "Sister, please don't refuse. I'm not asking you this time. I'll trouble you again in the future! And I still have business in the south, and I will definitely go back to the south. There has to be someone to look after me in the capital, sister, just promise me!"

Ji Siyuan looked at Chen Xi's sincerity and finally relented: "Okay, sister will ask for [-]% of your profits for free. Don't worry, if you have anything to do in the future, you can come to sister at any time! Although my sister's status is not as high as hers, she is better than her since she was a child. Growing up in the capital, I know a lot about big and small things!"

"Okay, thank you sister. I will stay for lunch today and try some of our southern specialties. How about you take me shopping in the afternoon?"

"No problem, I brought Ya'er out today because I plan to spend the whole day with my sister!"

"Thank you sister."

After dinner, Chen Xi and Ji Siyuan went to the streets together to experience the completely different cultural landscapes in the capital and the south.

Ji Siyuan had never been to the south, so she told Chen Xi about the rules of the capital, and Chen Xi told her about the scenery in the south. The two chatted very speculatively.

It wasn't until evening that Chen Xi separated from Ji Siyuan and returned to the county chief's mansion.

On this day, Chen Xi received many posts again, some inviting her and some wanting to visit her, but it was already after the tenth day of the lunar month.

Moreover, these people have different statuses. The high-status ones are from the government, while the low-status ones are even the wives of fifth-rank officials.

Chen Xi couldn't figure out the twists and turns, so he planned to wait until Ji Siyuan came again on the seventh day of the lunar new year.

, let her help her check again.

The seventh day of the lunar month is the day when the Yunling County Lord visits her. Chen Xi plans to take Ji Siyuan to meet the Yunling County Lord together.

Anyway, Chen Xi has made up her mind that no matter where she goes or does anything these days, she will be with Ji Siyuan!
