Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

Unexpectedly, when Zhao Mingtang saw Chen Huaixian in the court hall, Chen Huaixian nodded slightly at Zhao Mingtang.

Zhao Mingtang was stunned for a moment and then realized: Did Marquis Weiwu take the initiative to greet him just now? !
is this real?
Is he really saying hello to me? !
Zhao Mingtang couldn't believe it and glanced at Chen Huaixian again. Chen Huaixian actually nodded proactively this time: "Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Mingtang: "!!!"

When he came to his senses, he immediately chased after him: "Master Chen, I wonder if you will be free after the court today?"

"I have some food and salary matters and I want to talk to Mr. Chen Hou."

"Okay." Chen Huaixian nodded.

After Chen Huaixian left, Zhao Mingtang realized: Chen Huaixian actually agreed? !

Zhao Mingtang went to court absentmindedly while quickly calculating the menu for dinner at home later.

Chen Huaixian was also absent-minded: he was thinking about Zhao Zhi.

Zhao Zhi was temporarily stationed in the Pingxi Army barracks outside the city and lived with a group of rough old men for so long. Would she worry about her when she was away?

After much deliberation, Chen Huaixian felt that he should ask someone to pass the message over.

The prince Yang Chenghou saw that Chen Huaixian was absent-minded, and after finishing the government affairs, he dismissed the court.

After finally breaking up, Chen Huaixian walked out and Zhao Mingtang chased after him.

However, Chen Huai found out that he had long legs and chased him to the palace gate before catching up.

"Master Chen, why don't you come to my house for a few drinks today?" Zhao Mingtang looked up at Chen Huaixian cautiously.

Chen Huaixian thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I will go there later."

His horse was tied outside the palace gate. After Chen Huaixian said goodbye, he got on the horse and left. Zhao Mingtang stamped his foot: "Oh! Oh no!"

Mr. Chen Hou has never been to his home. Does he know where his home is?
Zhao Mingtang was thinking, should he ask someone to wait for Chen Huaixian at the gate of the Hou Mansion so that he could lead the way and avoid being let off?

However, Chen Huaixian hurried home and asked Luan Yougui to go to the military camp to summon him.

Luan Yougui ran away, but when he came back before dark, he said: "General, Doctor Zhao is not in the military camp. She asked for leave and left."

"What?" Chen Huaixian frowned and looked at the young guard captain Yuan Hong standing next to him.

Yuan Hong is the captain of the secret guard arranged by Crown Prince Yang Chenghou this morning.

A whole team of secret guards, totaling thirty people, each with their own strengths, was at the mercy of Yuan Hong, but Yuan Hong was at the mercy of Chen Huaixian.

Seeing Chen Huaixian looking at Yuan Hong at this time, Yuan Hong immediately raised his hand and said, "I will ask someone to investigate right now."

Chen Huaixian nodded.

Not long after, the news came. Chen Huaixian learned of Zhao Zhi's whereabouts. He was silent for a moment and then said: "Let's go to Zhao Mansion."

Yuan Hong nodded, took two people with him, and followed Chen Huaixian to Zhao Mansion.

In the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Mingtang was busy in the kitchen preparing tonight's meals, snacks and tea, and checking various arrangements when he suddenly heard the concierge report: "The eldest lady is back."

Zhao Mingtang was stunned for a moment: "Who?"

"The eldest lady is back." The concierge reported again.

Zhao Mingtang raised his head and looked towards the door: "Where is the person?"

"Going back to her own yard." Another woman reported.

"That's it." Zhao Mingtang didn't care that his eldest daughter didn't come to greet him, but he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You go and remind her that there are distinguished guests coming to the door today. Ask her not to come out and let the kitchen deliver her food to her." As soon as Zhao Mingtang said this, the mother-in-law immediately went to make arrangements and notifications. She seemed not surprised by such an arrangement.

But when she pushed away the eldest lady's courtyard in her memory, the mother-in-law still felt desolate: because this small courtyard had been uninhabited for many years, it had long been desolate with fallen leaves everywhere.

The room was even more empty. Apart from the most basic furniture, there was no bedding or furnishings. Even the window paper had been shredded.

The mother-in-law relayed Zhao Mingtang's words to the woman sitting on the stone bench in the yard. The woman nodded slightly: "I understand."

The mother-in-law looked at the yard and the window, and said with a smile: "Miss, please wait a moment, I will ask someone to clean up."

"Okay." Zhao Zhi nodded, with a look of indifference on his face, as if she had anticipated this situation.

As soon as Zhao Zhi entered the room, Mrs. Pan over there also got the news.

Mrs. Pan was in Zhao Xiyun's room, watching her daughter dress up carefully. When she heard that Zhao Zhi was back, she frowned.

"Why didn't you come back earlier or later? Why are you back now?"

Zhao Xiyun was even more nervous: "Mom, did the eldest sister know that the Marquis is coming to have dinner tonight, and came back specially to steal the Marquis from me?"

Mrs. Pan patted Zhao Xiyun on the shoulder: "Impossible. She is not as good-looking as you, and she has been practicing medicine outside all year round. She has rough skin and is described as vulgar. How can she compete with you?"

The woman who reported the report also nodded repeatedly and smiled flatteringly: "That's right, the second young lady is so beautiful and pretty, and the eldest lady can't compare to it."

"I just saw the eldest lady wearing a cotton gown and dressing up as a man. Her face is dark and rough. Where is the coquettishness of a girl?"

When Mrs. Pan heard this, she was completely relieved, but she started to act coy again and scolded lightly: "You are presumptuous. How can you talk about the eldest daughter of the Zhao family like this?"

"Now that the eldest lady is back, her yard should be tidied up quickly. Then I will send some fashionable clothes and jewelry to the eldest lady. They must be exquisite and exquisite."

Anyway, even if it was given as a gift, she wouldn't use it. Once she left, she could still get it to her daughter.

In this way, both inner and outer sides are saved.

"Yes." The mother-in-law made arrangements knowingly.

While Zhao Zhi was coldly watching the mothers-in-law busy in their small courtyard, Chen Huaixian also arrived at the Zhao Mansion.

Zhao Mingtang smiled so much that the corner of his mouth almost touched the back of his ears: "Oh, Lord Chen is here. It's hard to welcome him from afar! It's hard to welcome him from afar!"

Chen Huaixian smiled slightly, raised his hands and saluted: "Mr. Zhao, you are very polite."

The two were chatting politely, but Zhao Mingtang's eyes passed over the cold and solemn guard Yuan Hong next to Chen Huaixian.

It had only been a day, and he had already brought his bodyguard with him. Judging from the aura and attire, they were exactly the same as those around the prince!
Zhao Mingtang's heart trembled: We can't make mistakes tonight!

Be sure to handle it with caution.

Marquis Weiwu entered the lobby, served tea and snacks, and then talked about food and wages.

How dare Zhao Mingtang really deduct food from the Pingxi Army?

He was just talking about how hard he worked to pacify the Western Army's food and salary.

Chen Huaixian listened with a smile the whole time.

Zhao Mingtang paid close attention to Chen Huaixian's expression. Seeing that he was smiling and listening to him attentively throughout the whole process, he was very satisfied and even a little proud.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen Hou would give himself face like this. He kept talking for so long without interrupting or showing any displeasure.

Fortunately, finally, a steward came over and reported: "Master Zhao, the food and wine are ready."

Zhao Mingtang hurriedly extended his hand to invite: "Master Chen Hou, please!" (End of Chapter)
