"Master Hou, you're finally back!" The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion waited at the gate of the Hou Mansion until he saw Chen Xu's carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"I'll go to Qinghe Garden, let the housekeeper worry about it!" Chen Xu got out of the car and said.

"I see, I thought that Hou Ye was in the newspaper hall, but I asked people to ask, saying that Hou Ye had left half an hour ago!"

"Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" Chen Xu walked to the kitchen while sorting out his clothes, and after most of the day, it is estimated that the snail has almost spit out the mud and sand, and he has eaten some meals in the newspaper office at night, and he is very worried about this rare delicacy now.

"Young Master Meng Yun sent a letter, saying that he would hand it over to you in person, and he was still waiting in the living room!" The butler followed behind.

"Still waiting for me?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and turned around and walked towards the living room.

Sure enough, Meng Yun was sitting in the living room drinking tea and eating snacks, and a few little maids were waiting carefully.

"Meng Gongzi is sorry, I'm coming back late!"

Entering the door, Chen Xu confessed his hand, Meng Yun quickly stood up, and there was no trace of anxiety on his face that made countless women envious, jealous and hateful, but said with joy: "Don't dare, my father arranged for Meng Yun to send a letter to Hou Ye, and at the same time asked me to bring a sentence, so I waited a little longer!" ”

After Chen Xu sat down, he waved his hand to let the maid and the housekeeper leave the room, and after the door was closed, he said with a slightly solemn face: "I don't know what Lord Meng's letter says?" ”

"Meng Yun doesn't know either, but Hou Ye will know it at a glance!" Meng Yun took out an envelope from his sleeve robe and handed it to Chen Xu.

The content of the letter was very small, and I read it in a few glances, and after reading it, Chen Xu said with a happy look on his face: "Thank you really Lord Meng this time!" I don't know what else Meng Gongzi bringed? ”

"My father just asked Hou Ye when he plans to marry my sister?" Meng Yun stared at Chen Xu's face and said word by word.

Chen Xu: ......

Sure enough, Meng Yi, an old rascal, would not help in vain, Fang Cai was still thinking about it on the road, and he came to force him to marry as soon as he got home.

Don't you know that Lao Tzu just died of a wife?

It's only over seven today, so you won't be in such a hurry to force marriage, right? What's more, marrying a wife during the mourning period doesn't seem to be very auspicious.

Chen Xu looked at Meng Yun with a wry smile and said: "Meng Gongzi, it's not that I don't want to marry, but it's not suitable at the moment, but I also ask Meng Gongzi to go back and inform Master Meng that Xu will definitely promise what he promised, not to mention that Wan Niang is still so young......"

"It doesn't matter if you're small, Master Hou will be old after marrying and raising it for a few years!" Before Chen Xu's words were finished, Meng Yun hurriedly helped him think of a way.

Chen Xu stared at Meng Yun with black lines on his head, and wanted to press his flower-like face against the wall and rub it a few times, because this expression was too cheap.

If his sister Xing'er wants to get married, he will have to wait until he is fifteen or even eighteen years old, at least until Shui Qingrou's age, as for Niu Dashi, he will either wait or marry another woman, he will never allow his sister to be ruined by other men at the age of thirteen.

But at the moment, Meng Yi's meaning is obviously that he can't wait to give his thirteen-year-old daughter to Chen Xu for waste.

This is naturally not a normal phenomenon, Chen Xu thought about it for a while, and felt that the matter might still be on the emperor.

Chen Xu naturally wouldn't agree to this matter, so in order to change the topic, he warmly invited Meng Yun to drink and eat fried crabs together, and Meng Yun brought his father's letter and words, since Chen Xu was satisfied, he could also go back to pay the errand, so he drunk and took a large plate of crabs back in the car half an hour later.

After sending Meng Yun away, Chen Xu felt a lot more relaxed after reading the letter again.

Today, Meng Yi proposed to let Jiang Pu serve as the commander of the CRRC Prefecture, and the emperor would definitely not agree to this matter, but he could retreat and advance Jiang Beiting and Jiang Heng from this turmoil with Jiang Hu's meritorious service.

Originally, since the outbreak of Zhao Zhe's incident, the emperor was angry not only to crack Zhao Gao, but also to bring more than a dozen second, third and fourth rank officials above the court to be arrested and imprisoned, and Jiangbei Pavilion and Gao Yan naturally couldn't escape, and were sent by the Criminal Department to Wancheng to detain Xianyang for trial, so from that day on, Chen Xu was thinking about how to get Jiangbei Pavilion out of this matter.

But it wasn't until the morning when the news of Jianghu's victory in Hebei came, Chen Xu finally thought of a good way, so he wrote a letter to ask Meng Yi to take the opportunity to talk to the emperor, but he didn't expect that soon after his letter was delivered, the emperor summoned the big leaders of the three provinces to discuss personnel arrangements.

As a comrade-in-arms who has stood in the same trench with Chen Xu several times, and the identity of Weng's son-in-law, plus now he has found a porcelain clay mine specializing in making porcelain in Jiangxi, magnetic kilns and craftsmen have begun to prepare, within half a year, a large number of new porcelain will be on the market, and then the money will roll in, for a family like Montessori, which has a big business, it will naturally greatly improve the economic predicament that is now stretched, not to mention that Jiang is also the major shareholder of the porcelain factory, occupying two percent of the shares, so even if Chen Xu does not mention it, Meng Yi will still help more or less.

Meng Yi briefly mentioned the emperor's arrangements for Jiang Pu, Jiang Heng, and Jiang Beiting in the letter, naturally saying that he had tried his best to complete Chen Xu's entrustment, and the meaning of the other sentence that asked Meng Yun to ask Chen Xu was also very clear, the help you asked the old man to help has been completed, and you can look at the arrangement yourself about your promise to marry my daughter.

Old fox, old fox, it's shameless!

Chen Xu walked around the room with the letter, although he cursed Meng Yi in his heart, he smiled very happily on his face.

Originally, according to Chen Xu's previous idea, he could at most fish out Jiangbei Pavilion and then cut off his official position and demote him to a commoner, so that Jiangbei Pavilion would simply run a porcelain factory, and in a few years, he would naturally become a giant businessman who was rich and rival the country, and monopolized the domestic porcelain industry, and then opened up the Western Regions, and then sold porcelain to India and Central Asia and even Europe through caravans, in exchange for a large amount of gold and jewelry, Chen Xu could naturally make a mountain of gold and silver.

However, this time Jiang Hu's credit is too great, obviously beyond all the victorious endings that the emperor can predict, so the punishment of the Jiang brothers has completely become an understatement, and they are still officials after being demoted a few levels, not only that, but also transferred the boss Jiang Pu back to the Xianyang Ministry to serve, and the reward after Jiang Hu's return This time a marquis can't run away, from this point of view, the Jiang family is getting bigger and bigger.

In addition to the brutal and willful Jiang Chuyue, the Jiang family gave Chen Xu a very good impression, and the first Qin Dynasty official he met after crossing over was Jiangbei Ting, who looked polite and polite on weekdays, and was also a down-to-earth official who served the people, whether it was to promote threshers, fire kangs, cultivation methods or exchanging grain for good seeds, Chen Xu admired it, otherwise he would not spare no effort to help the Jiang family, if Daqin was an official like Jiangbei Pavilion, it is estimated that Daqin would develop very quickly.

Therefore, Jiangbei Pavilion was able to resume his official position, which made Chen Xu feel extremely relaxed.

At least after this incident, the Jiang family's support for him will be greater, plus there is also the interest binding of the porcelain factory, and with Meng Yi, an old rascal, Chen Xu feels that his position in the court should be much more stable.

Well, from this point of view, marrying Meng Wan is really necessary, Meng Yi, an old fox, doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if you ask him for help next time, it will be a little difficult to speak, but if he becomes his own father-in-law, hehe!

Chen Xu was alone in the room and let out a weasel laughing like a chicken.

Shui Qingrou just came in with a bowl of beef bone soup with the fragrance of medicine, and when she heard Chen Xu's terrifying laughter that she had never heard before, her delicate body trembled slightly and she almost lost her mind.

Chen Xu hurriedly walked up and took the soup bowl in Shui's hand gently, and said, "Don't work hard so late!" ”

Shui Qingsoft's cheeks instantly turned crimson: "Husband, this is a beef bone soup specially boiled for you, and it is said to be very good for your body!" ”

"I'm in such good health, what else can I make up for my body!" Chen Xu put the soup bowl on the table, tasted it with a soup spoon and frowned and said, "Why is it so unpalatable?" Which chef made it? ”

"Husband, don't be loud, yes...... It was boiled in the backyard by the mother herself, and it took half a day! Shui whispered softly.

"Uh~" Chen Xu hurriedly sat down with a frown and began to drink the soup, and sat beside him softly and gently.

The taste of the soup is not good, I feel that there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar except for beef bones and some traditional Chinese medicine, but thinking of Chen Jiang's previous miserable living conditions, I can't pray too much for this kind of thing, but at least as a mother, this is already the best she can do.

After drinking it, Chen Xu looked at the crimson water on his cheeks softly, and his expression was shy and delicate under the flickering lamp and candle, and he suddenly felt that there was a flame in his heart and it was burning, and he reached out to hold the water and said softly: "Lady, it's late at night, let's wash up and sleep early!" ”

The water was soft, her cheeks were even redder, her eyes were like spring water, and she lowered her head and hummed softly: "Warm water and bath bucket have been prepared, gently serve the husband to wash!" ”

"Hehe, take a bath together, wash together to be happy!"

A certain marquis couldn't wait to pull the water and gently enter the room next to him, and soon there was a sparse sound of water stirring inside, occasionally mixed with a few frolicking and playing, and then slowly turned into a hmm-hmmah wheezing and tactful moaning, which spread far and wide in the silent night.

The two little maids hid in the corridor outside the room, covered their mouths and listened to their little faces flushed, and after listening for a long time, they began to mumble.

"Wow, Master Hou is so amazing today!"

"yes, yes, go and tell the news to the mother!"

So two little maids went to Chen Jiang's report in a hurry.
