Hou Fu Di Daughter-in-Law

Chapter 45

It was difficult for the local county magistrate to see Marquis Ming Ying, but magistrate Hu was in a good mood, showing a bright smile as if he had picked up gold.

Xie Jinghuai, who was easy to get along with in front of Jiang Chenqi, showed the demeanor of a general in front of County Magistrate Hu.He stared sharply at magistrate Hu, like a soaring eagle patrolling the territory, giving people a sense of suffocating pressure.

"Magistrate Hu was surprised to see this Marquis. Don't be surprised because we have met before. I am Bei Ming who accompanied Mr. Zhou as a guest. Why is the magistrate Hu's family only treating Mr. Zhou with courtesy? Calculated according to military exploits , this Marquis has contributed more to Northern Qi than Young Master Zhou."

Xie Jinghuai didn't directly mention Jiang Chenqi's commander title, Xie Jinghuai wasn't sure whether County Magistrate Hu knew Jiang Chenqi's identity.I'm not sure what Jiang Chenqi's purpose of staying in Hu's house is, or it's appropriate to call Jiang Chenqi a pseudonym.

From Jiang Chenqi's mouth, Hu Liuniang knew the true identity of Young Master Beiming, but she didn't tell her parents for fear that they would think too much.

Neither she nor Jiang Chenqi expected that Master Hou would come to the door on his own initiative, exposing his identity as Marquis Ming Ying, and frightening the unsuspecting magistrate Hu.

How should I answer this? It can't be said that they suspected Mr. Zhou had something to do with Hu Biyue and brought him to the living room for dinner.There is no one else in the dining room, so we can inquire about the news.

Seeing that the county magistrate Hu was hesitating and speechless, Xie Jinghuai snorted coldly, and said in an orderly tone: "The matter of neglecting the Marquis can be blamed, prepare me a quiet small courtyard, I want to stay and recuperate .”

Staying to observe Commander Jiang's movements, he wanted to see why Jiang Chenqi got close to the Hu family.What kind of secret is hidden in her body? Maybe only by solving the mystery can I get closer to Jiang Chenqi.

When County Magistrate Hu left the study, he gasped for breath to relieve his anxiety, and stretched out his slightly trembling arms, "The butler, come and help me, and take me to find Mr. Zhou. You are indeed the Marquis Mingying who made the enemy fearful. I am afraid."

The butler supported the master to go forward, remembering that he had not found Mrs. Ruyi, he came up with an idea and said: "Master Hou actually came to the town of worshiping the moon. Maybe this is the chance of the young lady. How about matching the young lady with the Lord Hou?"

Don't bring up bad ideas, County Magistrate Hu waved his hand in distaste, "You have short-sightedness, and you only see the glamorous side of Marquis Mingying. It is rumored that Lord Hou was injured and lost his martial arts. Naturally, the emperor fears his great military achievements. Now look at Lord Hou's aura. , not at all like a person who has lost his martial arts. Don't get involved in the open and secret struggles of the nobles in the capital, marrying Lord Hou is better than marrying the mountain people in the cottage."

As a good father who cared about his daughter, magistrate Hu did not want his daughter to jump into the flames.It is the right thing for Liu Niang to help Jiang Chenqi get revenge, and it is not a good choice to marry a noble son.

After finding Jiang Chenqi and telling about Marquis Ming Ying, magistrate Hu recalled the astonishing aura of Marquis Marquis, and his calf trembled slightly.

Seeing that County Magistrate Hu was nervous, Jiang Chenqi patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted him and said, "Mr. Ming Ying is the patron saint of Northern Qi, and he will not harm innocent people. Uncle managed the moon worship town very well. If it weren't for you If you don’t have the mind to advance, you will be able to develop upwards.”

Hu Liuniang recalled how Master Hou was jealous, and said to her father with a smile, "Father, don't be nervous. Master Hou will come to the town to see my sister, and I will stay at our house because of my sister's shamelessness."

The fear of Lord Hou disappeared, and County Magistrate Hu worried that Commander Jiang would fall in love by mistake, so he persuaded him earnestly.

Jiang Chenqi did not have the desire for love of girls of the same age, and said in a cold tone: "Uncle, don't worry, I will not be confused. My revenge will not allow me to find someone who is destined. I will not refuse the closeness of Lord Hou. He is the heir of the Hou family. With a high status, I can use his power to achieve what I want when necessary."

Xie Jinghuai didn't openly say that he liked it, Jiang Chenqi realized later that Lord Hou took the initiative, it was her attitude not to take the initiative and not to refuse.

It's no problem to be friends with Lord Hou, they are all courtiers who are distrusted by the emperor, and they have common topics to talk about.Going further, being a lover is very troublesome, Jiang Chenqi doesn't want to cause trouble.

Seeing that Jiang Chenqi treated her feelings rationally, Magistrate Hu felt very relieved, thinking that Sister Biyue had given birth to a good daughter.

Walking into the small courtyard arranged by the Hu family, Jiang Chenqi heard movement next door, and looked up to see Marquis Ming Ying who was lying on the wall and looking around, "Why doesn't the Marquis rest in my house, maybe it's not as comfortable as the Hu mansion."

Xie Jinghuai climbed over the wall and entered the yard, with a relaxed smile on his face, "You are not here, Lin Feng and I live too lonely, so I simply came to find magistrate Hu, reported my identity, magistrate Hu respectfully invited me to be a guest. I am It is an honor for County Magistrate Hu to borrow a few days from Hu's mansion for the general who guards the peace of the border."

This is true. It is more difficult for low-level officials to see Ming Yinghou than to see a sow climbing a tree.

Without asking Master Hou's real thoughts, Jiang Chenqi subconsciously avoided Xie Jinghuai's closeness.

Hu Liuniang passed by the corridor with a basket in her hand, and when she saw the two together, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Jiang Yuyou ran from the end of the corridor with a branch in his hand, and said cursingly, "Damn Liu Niang, for scaring my bees, I really want to be beaten, stop and get beaten."

Hu Liuniang is not a fool, how could she stop, hold the basket tightly and start trotting.

Soon the figures of the two who were fighting and rowdy disappeared, leaving behind a string of laughter like silver bells.

Xie Jinghuai frowned, and sincerely suggested: "You need a smart maid, I can choose a few dutiful maids from the Hou's mansion. Jiang Yuyou is a childish Gu master, and Hu Liuniang is not a simple girl. If you stay by your side, I'm afraid it will cause you trouble."

Jiang Chenqi didn't tell the truth, she just found a reason and said: "I have very few friends. Linyuan and the others are men, and there are some things that are difficult to tell them. When I met Yuyou and Liu Niang, there were people who whispered to them. Don't look at their young age. He has a lot of skills, Yuyou has a flexible mind and is good at Gu skills to protect me, and Liu Niang takes good care of me with skill."

She doesn't trust other girls, let alone accept the maid Xie Jinghuai gave her, Jiang Chenqi doesn't want to deal with strangers.

The sixth sense told Xie Jinghuai that Jiang Chenqi in front of her was not telling the truth.Why did Jiang Chenqi keep Jiang Yuyou behind, why did she come all the way to the nearest town to Gu Master's cottage, and accepted Hu Liuniang as a maid, and surrounded Xie Jinghuai with questions.

It is the tacit understanding of adults not to ask too much, Xie Jinghuai changed the subject and said: "When will you leave? I remember that you plan to stay for a few days, and it's time to return to the capital."

Haven't seen other clansmen, nor her grandmother, Jiang Chenqi is reluctant to leave, "If Master Hou has something to do, you can go first, I have some private matters, the original plan has changed."

In order to see Jiang Chenqi, Xie Jinghuai did not intend to leave early, "There is no important matter, it's better to stay in Baiyue Town, away from the troublesome things in the capital. Feel free to mention any places that need my help. Although I don't have any acquaintances nearby, There is also a good kung fu that can help you."
