Chapter Twenty-Three: A Rare Initiative

A carriage stopped in front of the county king's mansion, the county lord got down from the car, and the guards guarding the door opened the gate of the county king's mansion to welcome the county lord back to the house. ”

The county lord took the sticker, and there were four big characters written on it: "Hu Qi worships."

The lord of the county took the sticker, but without looking at it, he commanded:

"Go and tell Lord Hu that the lord of this county will be waiting in the mansion tomorrow."

"Yes, County Lord."

That Xiao Si got the order of the county lord and immediately went out of the mansion.

The county lord took the greeting sticker and went directly back to the study, along the way, the county lord thought, she had no intersection with Na Hu Qi, why did she come to send the worship post, it was so strange.

Then, driven by curiosity, the county lord began to open the post and look at it carefully. After reading it, she understood that the empress's aunt didn't believe that General Chen would do such a thing, so she sent Hu Qi to clear General Chen's grievances.

The county lord thought, since the empress's aunt asked Hu Qi to exonerate Chen Zhen, wouldn't Hu Qi just do it? But why did Hu Qi tell her about it? What is the intention?

Did she know anything?

The county lord looked puzzled, forget it, don't think about it, I'll know when Hu Qi comes tomorrow. A small Dali Temple can't make any waves.

So, the county lord put the sticker on the table and went out of the study.

……

As soon as the county lord came out of the study, a Xiao Si came to say:

"County Lord, please go and eat."

Well? Will Chen Ziwei take the initiative to invite her to dinner?

The county lord was puzzled for a while, and then she thought of something, and said secretly in her heart:

"Chen Ziwei finally knows what his identity is, and he is a little self-aware."

This was the first time Chen Ziwei invited her to dinner, although the county lord didn't admit it, but her fast heartbeat betrayed her.

For some reason, she had a little anticipation in her heart at this moment.

"Horse, the county lord has arrived."

Wu Ji looked at the figure of the county lord outside the door and reminded him.

When Chen Ziwei heard that the county lord had arrived, he hurriedly shouted:

"Wu Ji, you bring the food to the table first, and I'll go out and have a look."

Wu Ji smiled secretly and watched his colt walk out of the kitchen.

After Chen Ziwei arrived in the hall, he saw Xiao Si on the side pouring tea for the county lord.

"The county lord is well, and the slave family asks the county lord for peace."

Chen Ziwei unusually greeted the county lord.

The county lord still said coldly with an expressionless face: "Get up." ”

"What is the so-called matter of the horse looking for the lord of this county?" The county lord took a sip of the tea next to him.

Chen Ziwei secretly said in his heart: "Well, Xiao Si who was sent just now has obviously said it."

Of course, the county lord knew that he had come to invite her to dinner, but she just wanted to hear Chen Ziwei say this sentence in person.

This is the first time that Chen Ziwei has taken the initiative to invite a woman to dinner since he was a child, and his heart is very entangled at the moment, and in the end, he mustered up the courage and said shyly in embarrassment:

"The slave family is here to invite the county lord to dinner today."

As soon as the words fell, the voice of "cough cough cough" sounded.

Chen Ziwei lowered his head and thought, "Could it be that I said something wrong?"

After being silent for a while, the county lord spoke: "This tea ......"

It turned out to be a problem with the tea, and Chen Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief:

"This is the best tea in the Star Garden. The county is mainly not used to drinking, so I sent someone to change. ”

The best tea? What does this look like? What do people do?

The county lord suddenly thought that since Chen Ziwei was punished last time, all the supplies of Xingchen Yuan had been cut off, and it was no wonder that there was no good tea.

The county lord straightened his voice and said:

"No need, I'll ask the housekeeper to bring some new tea another day."

Chen Zi was secretly happy, and sure enough, if you want to survive in the mansion, it is the best policy to please the county lord in every possible way.

Chen Ziwei saluted the county lord with a happy face, "Thank you for the reward." ”

Seeing that Chen Ziwei was so well-behaved, the county lord was very satisfied.

At this time, Wu Ji led a group of Xiao Si to come in with food, and the meals were placed on the table one after another, and soon, the table was full.

The county lord looked at the food on the table in front of him and felt very tempting.

"Today's meal is very different, and it seems that I put my heart into it."

The county lord looked at Chen Ziwei and praised him rarely.

Seeing that the county lord was looking at himself, Chen Ziwei lowered his head shyly.

The county lord just likes Chen Ziwei's innocent appearance.

"Ziwei, come, let's eat together."

The county lord commanded.

Wu Ji was very happy to watch the county lord and the horse laugh at each other.

After the meal was served, Wu Ji led a group of Xiao Si out of the room.

After leaving, Wu Ji closed the door for the two of them.

At this moment, only the county lord and Chen Zi sat opposite each other in the room.

There was silence......

Something weird......

Chen Ziwei saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he took the initiative to leave his seat, walked to the county lord's side, and began to serve dishes for the county lord.

Although Chen Ziwei has his own selfishness in order to please the county lord, because he wants to live well in the mansion, because Li Ruofei is still waiting for him, but at this moment, Chen Ziwei has forgotten his original intention, he watched the county lord calmly eating the dishes he picked up, but his heart was beating.

Chen Ziwei occasionally went to secretly glance at the county lord, after all, the woman in front of him was his wife, and she brought him many firsts.

Chen Ziwei couldn't be clearer in his heart, from the moment he entered the county king's mansion, there will always be a day when he is no longer the son of the Chen family, but the husband of her Shao family, and he has to serve his wife.

He sandwiched the food for the county lord, and the county lord ate it all in one gulp.

Chen Ziwei thought, it turned out that this is how two people get along in harmony.

Harmony and calm.

……

Noticing Chen Ziwei's small movements, the county lord straightened his throat, broke the calm at the moment, and said:

"Tomorrow Lord Hu will come to talk about your mother, will you go to the main hall tomorrow?"

After Chen Ziwei heard the county lord's words, he was obviously stunned, what did the county lord mean by this?

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Ziwei replied:

"The slave family knows that the men in the house can't meddle in political affairs, and the slave family can't break the rules."

Hearing this, the county lord sneered: "Sure enough, it's General Chen's son, and he remembers the rules quite firmly."

Speaking of "rules", the county lord suddenly remembered something, and his face suddenly changed, "Rules? Why didn't you remember the rules when you went out late at night that day? Aren't the rules of my county palace the rules? ”

Chen Ziwei looked at the county lord's face with anger, and immediately hurriedly explained:

"That time was the fault of the slave family, and the slave family promised that there would be no second time. Ask for forgiveness from the county lord. ”

Chen Ziwei immediately softened, and seeing that the county lord was not angry with him, he said softly:

"County Lord, that time the slave family was also to cut off the old things, just to stay in the county king's mansion with peace of mind and serve the county lord wholeheartedly."

The county lord was very satisfied with this, but she was also afraid of Chen Ziwei like this, because she couldn't see him clearly.

The county lord sighed, "That's it, don't mention the past." ”

Chen Ziwei stood aside obediently, and when he saw that the food in the county lord's bowl was almost finished, he picked up the dishes for the county lord again.

Then, the county lord tasted the meal that Chen Zi had prepared for himself with peace of mind.

"It's the first time for the county lord to eat the food made by the horse, but I didn't expect the horse's cooking skills to be so good, and the county lord's diet will be handed over to you in the future."

Chen Ziwei's cooking skills are of course good, because since he was a child, he had to learn cooking, tailoring, housekeeping, literacy, dancing skills, etc., not to mention piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Because he came from a family, in order to marry a good wife in the future, as a man, these are all lessons that must be learned.

But when he heard the county lord say that he should be in charge of her diet, Chen Ziwei's hand for the vegetables instantly froze.

What the? He is responsible?

Chen Ziwei was unwilling, so he said euphemistically: "Thank you for the compliment, but the slave family thinks that they are not as good as the cooks in the backyard." ”

"What? Don't want to? ”

The county lord asked rhetorically, "Are you so reluctant to let you do something for the county lord?"

"No, it's not, the slave is willing." Chen Ziwei hurriedly explained that he didn't want to offend her scales again.

Hearing Chen Ziwei say "willing", the county lord felt a lot happier in his heart, and then said: "Okay, since you are willing, this county lord will stay in Xingchen Garden tonight, you can prepare well." ”

Yes? Chen Ziwei was silent, this is not what she said just now.

Chen Ziwei took another bite of the dish and put it into the county lord's bowl, and said slowly: "County master, the slave family knows that the county lord loves the slave family, but the Houfu must be evenly wet with rain and dew, otherwise it will cause criticism." ”

The county lord frowned slightly, "Huh? Do you want this lord to go elsewhere? ”

Chen Ziwei heard that the county lord's tone was wrong, and immediately explained: "Of course, the slave family wants the concubine to stay here, but he always enjoys the favor alone, and the slave family will feel ashamed of the brothers in the house, so I'm afraid it's not good."

When the county lord heard this, he immediately got up and said, "Hmph, who dares to criticize where the county lord stays."

Chen Ziwei knew that the county lord was angry, so he immediately got up and comforted: "The county lord of Fuzhong is in charge, and no one dares to criticize."

"It's good to know." The county lord looked at Chen Ziwei and said, "Let's prepare well first."

"Yes, the slave family knows."

Chen Ziwei is crying in his heart, why is this the result? If this continues, it is only a matter of time before you have children.

No, he can't, he still has to get rid of the county king's mansion, he can't be buried here.

……

After a meal, Chen Ziwei cleaned up the table.

Seeing that Wu Ji came to help him, he immediately said to Wu Ji: "Wu Ji, go and ask me a doctor."

"Pony. What happened to you? ”

Wuji was very puzzled when he heard the horse say that he wanted to ask for a doctor for no reason, and asked with concern:

"Colt, are you feeling unwell?"

Chen Ziwei asked this when he saw Wuji, afraid that he would be suspicious, so he excused himself:

"Well, I have a headache, for some reason."

"Then do you want to tell the county lord?" Wuji is very sincere.

When Chen Ziwei heard that he was going to inform the county lord, he panicked and hurriedly refused:

"No need, old diseases, just ask a doctor to come, don't bother the county lord."

Chen Ziwei said it lightly, thinking that it was not a very serious illness, so he agreed to Chen Ziwei without restraint.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

After Wu Ji left, Chen Ziwei instructed: "Come here, prepare to bathe."
