Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 20 Worry
He did not forget Marquis Ming Ying's evaluation of King Shen, Jiang Chenqi was dissatisfied with those evaluations.King Shen gave up his crown prince position and chose to be a prince who lived a leisurely life without hindering others. Lord Hou had a prejudice against King Shen.

Commander Jiang, who had no experience in love, did not know about Ming Yinghou's comments, which smacked of jealousy.Because Jiang Chenqi appreciates King Shen's freedom and ease, Marquis Ming Ying deliberately belittles King Shen.

Yue Xuan stuffed the wooden box into his sleeve, raised his feet and strode away, planning to go to Hou Mansion to return the wooden box to Lord Hou.

Lin Yuan was sure that the wooden hairpin was made by Master Hou himself, and thought that Xie Jinghuai would please the girl, but unfortunately their commander is not an ordinary girl, "The wooden hairpin carved by Master Hou himself looks decent, why didn't the commander accept it."

The relationship with Marquis Mingying is average, not to the point of giving gifts to each other, Jiang Chenqi expressed her dissatisfaction with Marquis Mingying, "Master Hou is too lenient, he has a prejudice against King Shen, and he doesn't know that King Shen is the prince. There is a lot of pressure at the time. I misbelieve the words that smear King Shen, Lord Hou is so vulgar and not the friend I want to make."

He probably guessed why Ming Yinghou criticized King Shen, and when Lin Yuan saw the commander defending King Shen, he guessed the reason.King Shen is Baiwei's apprentice, in name he is the commander-in-chief senior, and Jiang Commander, who protects his shortcomings, naturally protects King Shen.

The door was opened with a creak, and Shen Mingxi, who walked into the farm with a smile, had reddish eyes and a sad expression at the moment, "Although I don't like Yao Shangshu who let me study, I know he is a good official. Officer, you are really a small-minded person."

Seeing that the former Minister of the Household Department has become the sloppy old man he is today, will King Shen regret giving up the position of prince and giving up chasing the throne?Jiang Chenqi curiously asked this doubt, wanting to know what King Shen was thinking.

Shen Mingxi put away his sentimentality, and said in a firm tone: "Everyone has their own destiny. Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, I can't avoid it. I can't wrong myself to do things I don't like for the happiness of others. I'm not a virtuous saint. Yao Shangshu has many Enduring hardships is a good thing, and only when you stay away from the capital can you have a peaceful life, unlike me, he has the secret guards left by his father to protect himself."

As expected of a deposed prince who makes people feel complicated, Jiang Chenqi's mood is a bit complicated at the moment.King Shen was greatly influenced by Master Baiwei, and inherited the idea that Baiwei is the only one who respects himself.

After sending away the complicated King Shen, Jiang Chenqi took Lin Yuan away and returned to her residence in the city.

Yue Xuan returned to the Commander's residence from the Hou Mansion, and took out a child's fist-sized jadeite from his sleeve, "Master Hou asked me to hand it to the Commander, saying that he was jealous of your evaluation of King Shen, so he would say something wrong in a moment of confusion, and let the subordinates I will send jadeite to apologize to you."

This piece of jadeite is of good quality, and was carefully carved into a round cabbage ornament by a skilled craftsman.Cabbage is a homonym for Baicai, and it is given as a gift, which has the beautiful meaning of wishing the other party a fortune.

Now that Marquis Mingying realized his mistake, Jiang Chenqi is not a person who cares about everything, so she chooses to forgive Mingying Marquis generously, "I remember that there is a piece of bacon in the kitchen that was made last year. It's hot and you don't want to eat bacon. You can take the bacon to the Hou Mansion and give it to the Marquis." Lord, tell Mingying that Lord Hou Shen is my senior brother, so I trust King Shen, and I don’t like to listen to Lord Hou’s critical words.”

Yue Xuan, who was running errands, went out with the bacon, and checked it carefully in the kitchen, and took it away with confidence that the bacon was not bad.

Lin Yuan thought that the gift from Marquis Mingying was valuable, and going to the pawn shop could exchange a lot of money, so it was too stingy for the commander to give back a piece of bacon, "There are still a few salted fish in the kitchen, how about I take the salted fish to catch up with Yuexuan and let the He sent the bacon to the Hou's residence together."

I have no appetite for bacon, braised salted fish Jiang Chenqi likes to eat it, so Lin Yuan should not ask for trouble and go out for a trip, "I am nodding acquaintances with Lord Hou, and I did not force him to give expensive gifts. It was his fault to give me jade first." Accept it. I don't have many valuable things in my hand, and I don't want to give a valuable gift in return."

The common people said that she was the biggest treacherous minister in the court, Jiang Chenqi felt wronged, she still had a long way to go before being a treacherous minister.The treacherous ministers of the past dynasties are getting richer and richer than the other, unlike her who lives a simple life, and is the most frugal person among civil and military officials.

He was not unhappy when he received the bacon, and Xie Jinghuai was in a bad mood when he learned that Jiang Chenqi had a master.After asking a few more words, seeing that Yue Xuan didn't speak, he let him go.

"Why didn't I know that Jiang Chenqi had a master. She turned out to be the junior sister of King Shen. Who is so powerful that King Shen and Jiang Tong can make him apprentice to him?"

Lin Jiao had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, vaguely guessing why King Shen's temperament changed drastically, and the unreliable master could lead the apprentice into detours.

Lin Feng is the brother of Lin Jiao's family. He has a more lively personality than the guard Lin. He said with a smile, "Commander Jiang's master must be a master in martial arts, so he can teach disciples who are strong in martial arts. I remember that King Shen is not very good at martial arts, so I don't know how he taught him. King Shen what?"

Curious about who Master Jiang Chenqi was and what skills he had, Xie Jinghuai ordered Lin Feng to investigate clearly.He wanted to know about the people around Jiang Chenqi, so that he could understand Jiang Chenqi better.

It is not easy to investigate the information of Baiwei, and the information that can be investigated is limited.Lin Feng told Lord Hou the results of the investigation, but he said helplessly that Baiwei could not find out in the past.

"There should be no one named Baiwei. The name Baiwei feels like a fake name. It's hard to investigate if you don't know your real name."

Holding the rice paper and looking carefully, Xie Jinghuai frowned, not believing that Jiang Chenqi and King Shen worshiped a magic stick as a teacher, "According to the investigation information, Jiang Chenqi has not been a teacher for a long time, not as long as King Shen. This person named Baiwei is very It may be a liar, I heard that the southern barbarians are good at using Gu insects, their names are different from ours."

Instructing Lin Jiao to prepare the medicinal powder for suppressing the Gu insects, Xie Jinghuai planned to meet Jiang Chenqi and observe closely whether Jiang Chenqi was affected by the Gu insects.

Lin Feng felt that Lord Hou’s opinion was reasonable. Gu worms can change a person and make them behave unreasonably. Words and deeds, it is a pity to lose the crown prince position."

Having prepared the tools to drive away the Gu worms, Xie Jinghuai invited Jiang Chenqi to his home as a guest, using the excuse of making an apology.

Hearing that Marquis Yingying entertained himself with a lake fish more than one meter long, Jiang Chenqi took Linyuan and Linyuan to the banquet, not knowing what was about to happen.

It was evening, and Jiang Chenqi was standing at the gate of the Hou Mansion, following the gatekeeper to the back door, wondering why she couldn't go through the main door.

The old butler stood behind the door with a bunch of pines and cypresses, and greeted the guests with a smile, "Commander Jiang, please step over the brazier. This method can drive away bad luck, and it is an ancient method."

There are a lot of villains I met recently, so I really should get rid of the bad luck, Jiang Chenqi raised her foot and stepped over the brazier.Smelling the pungent smell, he didn't say anything, wondering what the butler added to the brazier.

The butler led Commander Jiang to the living room, carefully observing Jiang Chenqi's reaction along the way, knowing that she didn't respond, "Master Hou is waiting for you in the lobby, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the dishes are ready."
