Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

Chen Xi smiled.

From the moment Aunt Qiu came to her side, she has been guiding her to be "arrogant", always telling her that as the county head, she has a distinguished status, her former friends are no longer friends, and her former parents and family are no longer her parents and family. Everyone must keep a distance and everyone must appear superior.

If it were a person who didn't have a clear head and was educated like this by Aunt Qiu, he might actually become a villain who gets the upper hand.

Aunt Qiu must have realized a long time ago that she was not an idiot who allowed herself to be brainwashed.

On the way to the capital, Grandma Qiu rarely made such remarks.

When Chen Xi originally said the same thing when she came to the capital, who knew that she would change her tone and belittle her!

Chen Xi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? For example?"

Aunt Qiu's face was expressionless: "For example, any master in the palace, any master in the clan, those ministers, Madam Gaoming, etc., so County Lord, you must think twice before speaking or doing anything in the capital. If you offend someone you shouldn't offend, do something you shouldn't do, or even have thoughts you shouldn't have, it's a serious crime of beheading!"

"Thank you, Aunt Qiu, for your last lesson. Is there anything else you can do?"

Aunt Qiu bowed and said, "It's okay. My mission has been completed. I will return to the palace today."

"That's it. Since Aunt Qiu has an order, I won't try to keep you here. Baozhen, please find the thank you gift I gave to Aunt Qiu."

"Yes."

Dong Baozhen immediately went to turn over the paper and saluted, and quickly brought out a piece of paper.

"Aunt Qiu, I know that you have a high vision and a lot of knowledge. I believe that even money or ordinary jewelry cannot get into your eyes. You know that I am

A restaurant owner holds many food recipes in his hands. I noticed that Aunt Qiu, your waist is bloated and you seem to have some digestive problems. This is the medicinal recipe I saved and gave it to Aunt Qiu. If you come back, If you don’t mind, you can give it a try, it will definitely make your body better. "

Aunt Qiu's hand was trembling when she took the paper!

She felt that Chen Xi was humiliating her!

The little steward who was responsible for repairing the house just now received a reward of 100 taels of silver, but she, the palace aunt who had nominally taught her for a month, only got a piece of paper!

She said she didn't like this or that, but in fact she wasn't willing to give her gold, silver and jewelry, but wanted to give her something that didn't cost anything!

When she returned to the palace, the old sisters asked her how her errands went and what rewards she had received. How could she tell her so easily?

However, Aunt Qiu still thanked her.

"I thank the county lord for the reward and the county lord for reminding me. I will resign!"

Aunt Qiu turned around and left, not even waiting for Chen Xi to tell her to send someone to see her off!

Of course, if she didn't talk about Chen Xi, she wouldn't say anything.

After she left, Dong Baozhen hummed: "Master, why did you give her the medicinal formula? I don't think she appreciates it at all!"

Chen Xi laughed: "Anyway, I don't want to part with real gold and white clouds, but no matter what she thinks, this month has taught me a lot of palace rules and etiquette, and the thank you gift is indispensable! If the medicinal diet prescription is not valuable, then it is not worth it. It's not valuable, but if it's valuable, some people are willing to spend 2000 taels to buy it. If she keeps it and adjusts her body according to the prescription, it's worth a thousand pieces of gold. If she goes out and throws it away, it's none of my business. yes

She has no chance herself! "

The medicated diet prescription that Chen Xi gave to Grandma Qiu was really effective for her symptoms. As long as Grandma Qiu eats it according to the medicated diet, she will definitely make her body better and stronger.

Aunt Qiu finally left, and Chen Xi finally felt relieved.

Now that the people staying with her are all her people, Chen Xi quickly asked everyone to clean up the house briefly, and asked Dong Baozhen to take the mother and daughter to do the ceremony in a formal manner, and at least tidy up her county chief's crown first. , as soon as the summons from the palace came, she immediately entered the palace to express her gratitude.

As the head of the county, if there are any large-scale banquets held in the palace, such as Laba Festival, New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, the Emperor's Longevity Festival, the Queen Mother's Thousand Autumn Festival, etc., as long as she is in the capital, , that is what you must participate in, and you must wear the county chief's crown to participate.

In normal times, if the emperor or the queen, queen, mother, or princesses in the palace would send her a message to invite her to a banquet, she would also go, but she would not need to wear the county chief's robe, just ordinary clothes.

In fact, what Aunt Qiu said just now is not wrong. There are many people in the capital who are more valuable than her!

Although it seems that there are many people who may be inferior to her in rank, such as some ministers and some imperial wives, none of them can compare to her in terms of power, relationships, family, and influence!

She is a bald county head. Apart from a title, she does not even have a fief or a family. She is alone and naturally has to be cautious wherever she goes.

However, she felt that what Aunt Qiu meant when she said this was not to remind her kindly, but to deepen her caution and fear in front of everyone.

Being submissive seems petty.

Especially when she wants to enter the palace to thank her, if she acts too cowardly, she will definitely not be liked by the emperor and empress.

A county head who is not liked by the emperor and empress and only has a title may not be more valuable than a young lady in a minister's family!

Chen Xi understood this, and after a simple meal, he washed up and went to bed.

She didn't know when the emperor would send someone to summon her to the palace, but she had to regain her energy as soon as possible and be waiting at any time!

Chen Xi planned this, but who knew that the next day, there would be a summons from the palace. Chen Xi immediately asked Dong Baozhen to help her put on the dress, and then rode a carriage to the front of the palace.

Chen Xi smiled when he saw the "familiar" Forbidden City.

She was a little nervous at first, but this familiar imperial city suddenly gave her a different sense of belonging!

She suddenly wasn't nervous anymore!

The little eunuch who led her into the palace looked at this merchant female county owner, who was as humble and arrogant as the wives who often came to the palace for the first time, and couldn't help but marvel.

No wonder the emperor made a merchant girl the county head. It turned out to be really extraordinary!

Although Chen Xi came to thank him, he did not go to the main hall in front, but came to the harem.

"My Lady, please wait a moment. I will go in and report."

"Okay, please, father-in-law."

The little eunuch immediately beamed when he was called father-in-law.

Although the young eunuchs are not prohibited from calling father-in-law, in the palace, everyone agrees that only the senior eunuchs can be called father-in-law.

Otherwise, the eunuch in charge of the emperor is his father-in-law, and you, the one who pours swill, are also your father-in-law. Wouldn’t that mean that your father-in-law is too cheap?

But Chen Xi had a friendly attitude from the beginning when he met the young eunuch, and spoke

Calling "father-in-law" silently made the little eunuch feel respect for the first time, and he felt unhappy at all.

Soon, the little eunuch came out, followed by a palace maid.

"County Mistress, this is Sister Lotus from the Queen's Palace. Just follow her in."

Chen Xi nodded and thanked the little eunuch. The frightened little eunuch quickly dodged and left in a hurry.

Chen Xi's nod of thanks not only frightened the young eunuch, but even the palace maid He Hua was a little surprised.

"County Lord, please come with me."

Chen Xi immediately smiled at Hehua, "Sorry for bothering Aunt Hehua!"

The palace maid named He Hua thought to herself: This County Lord Huaishan is still pregnant!
