Chapter 279: Confrontation
Hearing this, even Mama Chen and Mama Liu, who are more calm on weekdays, also showed surprised expressions.
When the people in the room went to the kitchen, Chen Xi personally made a bowl of soup for Yang Tinghan, "To be honest, the most unaccustomed thing when I come back here is cooking, and there are people watching when I eat!" ”
Eating is a very enjoyable thing, but if you are watched all the time, you always feel a little uncomfortable.
Yang Tinghan drank a bowl of soup into it, "Today, on the way back, I met Lord Fu Yin!" ”
"......" Chen Xi frowned slightly, he didn't figure out who Yang Tinghan was talking about at first, and finally thought, "Speaking of which, he has now taken office, right, let's come back together!" ”
Yes!
All of them have made great contributions to return to the capital.
Moreover, Yang Tinghan still made military merits and annihilated all the enemies, which should be the greatest credit according to reason, but after returning to the capital, he only met once and rewarded him with gold and silver treasures, but he didn't even give him an official position.
On the surface, it seems to be a general who protects the country, but in fact it is an empty title. In the capital, no one took Yang Tinghan seriously at all.
Even Yang An, who didn't want to be an official at all, has now become a royal guard.
Of course, the one who benefited the most was the prefectural magistrate, who has now become the prefectural lord.
Although no one dared to say anything on the surface, I don't know how many people are laughing at Yang Tinghan behind his back, obviously he has made a great contribution, but now he has become a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh.
The most important thing is that it is not popular to return home, who doesn't know that Yang Tinghan has been sent to the frontier since he was a child, and the family did not hesitate to set up a son.
Chen Xi is not a negative person, "It's better not to be an official, we don't have to work, now you are the general who protects the country, how good it is to have silver every month, by the way, let's go to incense tomorrow!" ”
"Good!" Yang Tinghan hugged Chen Xi, and after the two of them went to bed, the window curtain shook slightly.
……
In the study, Zhen Guogong learned that Mrs. Zhang had come to the door and fell into deep thought.
The Duchess of Zhenguo sat on the side, ostensibly looking like she was drinking tea leisurely there, but in fact she was really observing Zhenguo Gong, wanting to see if the two of them were on the same front this time.
After a while, under the flickering candle flame, Zhen Guogong coughed, "This matter was originally the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but don't forget, Yang Tinghan is now a seed of infatuation in front of the emperor!" ”
Yang Tinghan entered the palace for the first time, and did not seek any benefits for himself, but wanted to ask his wife to be named a wife.
This matter has already been rumored, in the capital, no one knows who doesn't know, Yang Tinghan has a deep love for Chen Xi, and has made an oath that there will be no concubine in this life.
Although many people regard this sentence as a joke and don't take it to heart, but contentment Mo Ruo's father, although Zhen Guogong said that he had not seen Yang Tinghan for many years, he had to admit that this child was indeed an infatuated species.
His slender fingers tapped the tabletop, and finally sneered, "Are the two girls you sent over successful now?" ”
Speaking of Caiyun and Caixia, these two were originally carefully selected and educated by the Duchess of Zhenguo, intending to give them to her beloved son, but when she saw Yang Tinghan coming back, she had no choice but to change her plan.
But what made the Duchess of Zhenguo angry, up to now, those two people were like ordinary maids, staying in the courtyard, doing nothing, not mentioning it for the time being, that is, they couldn't even enter their door.
Zhen Guogong sighed, "Now that they have just come back, they are fighting each other everywhere, and they can't see the outside world when they stay in the courtyard every day, it is inevitable that some of them will sit in the well and watch the sky, they should go out for a walk, and the Zhang family is about to hold a banquet!" ”
At the end of the conversation, the Duchess of Zhenguo was not a stupid person, and she quickly understood the key and important thoughts, "This is the first time the two of them have participated in a banquet since they came back, and I will definitely take Chen Xi with me at all times!" ”
Ahh
Chen Xi, who was asleep, suddenly sneezed, feeling like someone was calculating him.
Early in the morning, according to the rules, Chen Xi got up and hurriedly ate breakfast, and then came to the courtyard of the Duchess of Zhenguo to say goodbye, but this morning was extremely pleasant.
Seeing the bright smile of the Duchess of Zhenguo, Chen Xi had goosebumps all over his body, and always felt that something was wrong, and sure enough, before the end of the press, the Duchess of Zhenguo smiled and gave a set of jewelry.
"Kid, this is your first time attending a banquet, and I'm worried that you don't have the right jewelry, so I'll give you this set!"
Chen Xi looked flattered, and the smile on his face was even brighter, "Thank you, mother!" ”
She glanced at it with her spare eyes as she spoke, and found that it was indeed a good thing, of course, it would be better if there was no invitation, which clearly said Zhang Fu.
Even if he is a fool, he knows who this Zhang Mansion is, and at the same time, he also knows two or three points about the plan of the Duchess of Zhenguo, and it is precisely because he understands Chen Xi that he disdains.
After the Duchess of Zhenguo sent the things out, she had been silently observing Chen Xi's expression, and saw that he had no extra expression except for laughing, and sneered in her heart.
After the greeting was over, the Duchess of Zhenguo left Mrs. Shizi behind.
"It stands to reason that you are pregnant now, and you should stay in the courtyard honestly, but now that the situation is special and eventful, I have decided to hand over all the tasks of the head of the house to you!"
Mrs. Shizi was flattered when she heard this, and originally wanted to excuse herself, but the Duchess of Zhenguo had already made up her mind, and handed over the account book and the key to the treasury.
In less than an hour, the news that Mrs. Shizi became the new lady in charge of the family spread throughout every courtyard.
When Chen Xi heard the news, he was developing dim sum in the prescription, his hand trembled slightly, and a rabbit lost its ears.
Mama Chen was angry, "The Duchess of Zhenguo is really too much, even if she wants to hand over the power of the family, it shouldn't be at this time, this is clearly slapping the master and Mrs. in the face!" ”
"All these years have passed, and I am still so short-tempered, be careful that the wall has ears, this family surname is Yang, and the heirs in the future will be the prince and Mrs. the prince!"
Once you miss something, there is no turning back.
Hearing Mama Liu's words, Chen Xi nodded appreciatively, "Some people think that this matter is slapping me in the face, but I think it doesn't matter, such a big family, housekeeping is very hard, I am too lazy to do this kind of thing!" ”
For Chen Xi's open-mindedness, the two grandmothers admired it very much.
But admiration aside, I always felt a little aggrieved about this matter, Mama Chen thought about it and couldn't help but speak, "Do we want to do something?" Anyway, His Majesty's reward also includes the house of the protector general! ”
