Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 178
After all, he grew up in the countryside and had no idea about the ups and downs in the capital city. He had such a straightforward temperament that he wouldn't even know if he was tricked to death in the future.It doesn't matter if you trick him to death, I'm afraid the Liyang Hou Mansion will also suffer.

Marquis Liyang said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many tips the emperor has received to impeach you during this period? Don't think that if you make a contribution, everything will be worry-free."

Xia Chixiao said: "Yes!"

Marquis Liyang saw that he was not arguing and he should be happy for such obedience, but he felt that he couldn't be happy, as if there was something in his heart that made him choke.

After all, I didn’t grow up around you, so there is always something missing.

He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, step back. As soon as you return to Beijing, you should hand the documents into the palace as soon as possible and prepare for the interview. Don't delay!"

Xia Chixiao bowed and left.

He handed the book to the palace, but the Qi Sheng Emperor did not summon him immediately. Instead, he allowed him to rest for three days to regain his energy before meeting the Holy Emperor.

Anyuanhou Mansion.

Because Chu Yunzhao lost her virginity and had no face to see anyone, she mostly stayed in her yard, so the house was quite peaceful for a while.

Zhao Yuan was very busy, and so was Chu Baikui.

Chu Baikui hurried back from outside and went straight to Zhao Yuan's yard.

Zhao Yuan, who had not seen Chu Baikui in the past few days, welcomed him out of the hospital after hearing the report.

"Master Hou, is there good news?"

Chu Baikui waved his hand, Zhao Yuan understood, and said to the maids and women in the courtyard: "You all should leave, there is no need to wait here!"

All the servants filed away.

Zhao Yuan came over and took Chu Baikui's hand, leading him into the house, with a smile on her face and eyes, and said: "Master Hou, you have such a cheerful face, you must have good news!"

Chu Baikui laughed, and after Da Ma Jin Dao was seated, he calmly said: "There is indeed good news. Our Yun'er is a blessed one! Madam, what do you think the good news is?"

Zhao Yuan rolled her eyes. Was it Yun'er's blessing?
She immediately felt blessed and said, "Did the young master from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion come back, or did the young master You return to the capital?"

She and Chu Baikui had analyzed it at the beginning. In a situation like Yun'er's, they could only deal with it coldly first, wait until other things had covered it up, and then find an opportunity to choose a man from a good family background to cook the rice. Make that man responsible again.

They agreed on three candidates. Meng Shengfeng, the 22-year-old son of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, was ranked second in the martial arts rankings at that time. He was sent to the Western Region to train three years ago. Although he is a fifth-ranked son, the young master of the Marquis Mansion has a bright future;
You He, the son of You Lusui, the chief envoy of Yongzhou, his father was a second-rank official, and his son was not an easy man either. When he was 17 years old, he passed the second-level imperial examination, that is, No. 4.

At that time, he was allowed to serve as the county magistrate. After his three-year term, he was promoted to the fifth-grade prefect. Now, after another three-year term, he will go to Beijing as an official. He is only 23 years old and has a bright future.

The third person is Xia Chixiao.

These three people are both civilized and military. They are all young talents with great potential who are not in the capital, and their family backgrounds are very good. However, they have not gotten married for various reasons.

In the past, he would have felt that the Anyuan Hou Mansion was a bit out of reach, but it was different now. They were relatives of Taifu Ye.

Besides, as long as things are done, no matter how high your family background or family status is, you still have to take responsibility.

As long as Yun'er marries well, then their Anyuan Hou Mansion will be better off.

Chu Baikui smiled and said: "Two of them are back. Yesterday, General Xia Chixiao returned to the capital to resume his duties, and today Mr. You just returned to the capital to report on his duties!"

Zhao Yuan's eyes were filled with joy. She knew very well that among the three people, the one Yun'er wanted to marry the most was Xia Chixiao.

She carried the pot with her own hands, poured a cup of tea for Chu Baikui, and said happily: "Really?"

"Really! Xia Chixiao returned to the capital first and has already handed in the post to the palace. The emperor has allowed him to rest for three days before entering the palace to meet the emperor! Mr. You has already submitted his work report to the Ministry of Personnel today and is just waiting for the Ministry of Personnel to arrange a position in the capital! " Chu Baikui touched her hand helpfully, picked up the cup and took a sip in a good mood.

"These three days are our chance. If things go well, maybe we can go to the palace to ask for a royal decree for marriage!" Zhao Yuan was very happy, and she leaned against Chu Baikui's body.

Chu Baikui was also very happy. He hugged him and kissed him. The two of them seemed to have seen the celebration of Chu Yunzhao, Xia Chixiao or You He.

The two of them chatted for a while, and Zhao Yuan said with some worry: "The last time I invited Xia Chixiao to come to the house, it seemed a little unpleasant. Later, Yun Zhao wanted to make Xia Chixiao responsible for falling into the water, but it didn't work. You said that even if it is raw rice, it will be cooked. What should I do if Xia Chixiao doesn't recognize me?"

"How can we allow him to deny it?" Chu Baikui said carelessly: "Didn't we have this relationship with Taifu Ye before? It's normal for him to look down on Anyuan Hou Mansion. But it's different now. Now we have There’s a relative in Taifu Ye’s house!”

Zhao Yuan said: "Master Hou is right. Even if Xia Chixiao can't do it here, there is still Mr. You."

She looked at Chu Baikui with a bit of confusion in her eyes: "Master Hou, do you think it is better to choose Mr. Xia or Mr. You? Both of them have bright futures in both literature and martial arts. Although Mr. Xia is now of higher rank Some, but generals are not as reliable as civil servants. On the battlefield, after all, swords have no eyes!"

Chu Baikui laughed and said: "You are right, but didn't you say last time that our Yun'er likes Xia Chixiao? Is Mr. You good or not? Yun'er has never seen him. Both of them are the best. When the time comes, , let’s see who succeeds!”

"Then where can they meet? And where can they accomplish good things?"

Chu Baikui thought for a while and said: "How about finding an opportunity to invite them into the house. No matter who succeeds, they will be witnesses to each other, and they can't deny it!"

Zhao Yuan was a little worried: "The last time Mr. Xia came here, he borrowed Fei'er's name. Now Fei'er is not fake. Then Mr. You has no friendship with us, so what reason can you use to invite us?"

Chu Baikui also felt a little worried.

It's better if you have some friendship. Just one post and you're invited.

If you don’t have any friendship, it’s really out of the way, and people may not be willing to come!

Chu Baikui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "You have forgotten that these two were not in the capital some time ago. Our family has a new eldest lady. They did not attend the return banquet. Why not What do you think of this, inviting them to come over for a small gathering?"

Zhao Yuan felt a little unhappy.

Why should Chu Nanning, that fierce and wild girl, be used as a cover for her precious daughter?

But she also thought that it would be a good thing to invite the two of them to the house for this reason. She thought for a moment and said: "How about holding a banquet and appreciating the chrysanthemums?"

Yun'er's matter must be settled as soon as possible. If it fails, she must go to the Duke of Ju's mansion to discuss marriage matters.

You can’t lose both ends.

"We only have three days, and it takes a day to post. How can we make it in time? Besides, the time is so short, what if someone has other arrangements?"

"It's enough!" Zhao Yuan hurriedly said: "Let's send the post out, and not everyone will come. As long as the people we invite come, it will be enough. It will be easier to do at the banquet, when there will be more witnesses!" Chu Bai Kui picked up the tea bowl. This method was indeed better and less obvious.

He said: "Then go ahead and do it!"

Zhao Yuan responded, rolled her eyes, and said, "Last time Yun'er tried to get involved with Xia Chixiao over the incident of falling into the water, but it was Chu Nanning who sabotaged it. This time, she won't sabotage it, right?"

Chu Baikui thought this was not a problem. He smiled and said, "Then let her not be in the house, right?"

Zhao Yuan hesitated: "Master Hou, it's not that I want to say anything bad about her. Since she returned home, she has returned home whenever she wanted and left whenever she wanted. Mingxia Garden is like her private property, and we can't even enter. If you want her not to be in the house that day, she may not be willing to listen!"

Chu Baikui said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I have a solution. Now, send them a message first."

Zhao Yuan was still a little hesitant. She didn't think Chu Nanning was so proud. Why would Xia Chixiao and You He, two young people with good family backgrounds and promising prospects, give face to a wild girl from the countryside who returned home?
But you have to try, after all, it is related to Yun'er's happiness.

Besides, among the people she invited, even if it wasn't these three people who got married in the end, he could still find a way to get them to marry Yun'er. In any case, it would be better than marrying that dude Du Mingda.

Du Mingda's reputation is too bad.

She immediately started working on it. The couple discussed how to write the post. It was very interesting. What they wrote was that the eldest daughter returned. Although her uncle Ye Taifu took care of her, the time was still short and she was not familiar with everything in the capital. , so I took advantage of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party to increase my knowledge, make more friends, and hope to be rewarded with a face.

It was under Chu Nanning's name and fifty copies were distributed.Twenty copies were given to ladies, and thirty copies were given to unmarried young men. Xia Chixiao, Youhe, was on the list, and some who were engaged but not married were also on the list.

The post also specifically mentioned that his uncle was Taifu Ye. This was another attempt to fight against Taifu Ye's name and to pull the tiger flag.

Also because Taifu Ye was mentioned in it, the two of them were confident.

Even if those people don't give face to the Anyuan Hou Mansion, they won't give face to Taifu Ye.

At the same time, the Anyuan Hou Mansion also began to make arrangements. If they wanted to hold a decent banquet, and the time was so short, of course they had to speed up.

The post quickly flew out like flakes.

The Anyuan Marquis Mansion was also decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. There were originally several clusters of chrysanthemums in the Marquis Mansion, but in the name of appreciating chrysanthemums, the number was too small, or there were only a few pots. How could it be unique?Then I purchased a large number of chrysanthemums, some were transplanted, and some were even potted and arranged in different colors.

Chu Baikui and Zhao Yuan felt relieved when the money was spent.

It would have been better if it had been allowed to wait for a while until the matter had completely subsided.

But if things don't work out after a while, can Yuner still be waiting for them at Du Mingda's place?

Anyway, their focus is on the two people who have just returned to Beijing and should not have heard those rumors yet.

At Mingxia Garden, Qiuyi naturally reported all the abnormalities to Chu Nanning.

Qiu Shuang, who was making tea for Chu Nanning, was puzzled: "It looks like a banquet is going to be held. The last Missy's return banquet was only a short time ago. We are holding a banquet this time. Miss, do you think there will be someone there?" Come?"

Qiu Yi said: "My slave asked me that the post sent by the Marquis and his wife also mentioned the eldest lady's uncle!"

Qiu Xin pouted and said: "We gave you a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet like a young lady, but neither the Marquis nor his wife said a word. The young lady didn't know anything about it at that time. Do you want to make the young lady laugh?"

Chu Nanning raised her eyebrows, and a hint of ridicule flashed at the corner of her mouth: "They don't need me to know, they will definitely find a way to avoid me that day."

These two people really dare to think.

She knew what they were planning with almost no guessing.

Do you really think everyone is a fool by jumping up and down like this to plan for Chu Yunzhao?
However, she didn't want to pay attention.

After Chu Baikui got the Anyuan Hou Mansion, he only thought about how to cling to the powerful, so he sharpened his head and did not take the right path.The current Anyuan Hou Mansion has long existed in name only.They themselves are shameless and no one can save them.

It's just a pity that the ancestors of the Chu family, who worked so hard to accumulate meritorious deeds in order to protect future generations, were harmed by an unscrupulous son like Chu Baikui with evil intentions.

For this title, he killed Mrs. Chu's own son.

Now, for the sake of clinging, being shameless is not worth mentioning.

She turned to Qiu Yi and asked: "What snacks are you cooking in the small kitchen today?"

Qiu Yi said: "The lotus seed cake and passion cake made at the Autumn Equinox are made according to the recipe you gave me, the eldest lady. They should be ready now."

Among these four maids, Qiu Shuang manages the finances of the entire Mingxia Garden; Qiu Yi is well-informed and flexible, and can grasp all kinds of information in the entire Hou Mansion; Qiu Yu is meticulous and careful, managing the maids; Qiu Equinox cooks Yi, manages the small kitchen of Mingxia Garden.

"Go prepare one and put it in a food box!"

"Yes!"

After a while, pastries packed in exquisite gourmet boxes were brought over, and the sweet aroma of food could be smelled through the food boxes.

Chu Nanning signaled Qiu Shuang to pick up the bag and go to Mrs. Chu's yard.

Mrs. Chu had just come out of the small Buddhist hall. When she heard that Chu Nanning was coming, she immediately asked Grandma Yu to welcome her out of the hospital.

Chu Nanning smiled and said: "Grandma!"

The old lady pulled her to sit next to her and said: "You haven't come to see me for several days. I was thinking that if you don't come again, I will have to send someone to call you. Today I have someone make a crystal Elbow, secret roasted crispy duck, stay for lunch!"

"By coincidence, I also have some newly made pastries here. I thought I could give them to grandma to try, so I brought them." Qiu Shuang had already obediently handed the food box to Grandma Yu.

Aunt Yu smiled and said: "It smells really good. Is this the eldest lady's recipe?"

"I just had time to figure it out, it tastes good!"

Aunt Yu looked at the smiling Chu Nanning with kind eyes: "The eldest lady has people bring fresh snacks over every day. The old lady said that she no longer wants to eat the snacks from our small kitchen. They are not as delicious as the ones sent by the eldest lady. .”

The atmosphere here is relaxed and relaxed. Aunt Yu and Aunt Qin are also the old ladies beside the old lady. There is no master-servant attitude. Chu Nanning likes this atmosphere.

Grandma Qin picked up the cakes on the plate and brought them to her. The old lady picked up a piece and asked casually: "I heard that the villain is planning to hold a chrysanthemum appreciation party again? What does he want to do? Isn't it enough to lose face once? ?”
