Multiverse: Beginning with Forced Binding

It is indeed a very dangerous thing to let a relative with royal blood hold military power. Who knows if the other party will suddenly come to purge the emperor.

The emperor would not trust Chen Xi that much, so in the arrangement of Anping Hou, the emperor's approach is to use him, but not to use him too much.

It is okay to use Anping Hou as a chess piece to maintain the imperial power, as long as he is not given too much military power, and it can also be used to deter other military merits.

Not long after Chen Xi returned to the Marquis's Mansion, the imperial edict arrived, conferring him a military position and assigning 3,000 people from the Beijing Camp to him. The number is not large, but they are elite cavalry.

The emperor thought very well. It is too difficult for 3,000 cavalry to cause chaos. Cavalry itself is not good at attacking cities and plundering land, but if something really happens, it is very mobile if used for rescue.

Chen Xi commanded 3,000 cavalry, and he could not break into the palace at all, but if he encountered traitors, he could rush to the palace in time to rescue him.

Chen Xi had no objection to this appointment. He was now well-known, and the elite soldiers assigned to him had nothing to be dissatisfied with. After all, the strength of the Marquis of Anping was visible to everyone.

With real military force, royal status, and the title of Marquis, no one would be blind to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi only went to see the 3,000 people assigned to him on the day he took office. He did not care about the subsequent training and left it to the Shadow Guards to handle.

The 3,000 elite soldiers were not so convinced by the Shadow Guards. Why?

So after the Marquis of Anping fought one against a hundred, the Shadow Guards also became popular in the military system. He beat up all the thousand-man captains and centurions by himself. If you don't accept it, just go.

The emperor looked at the report and was silent for a long time. On the one hand, he was shocked by the abundance of talents in the Marquis of Anping's mansion, and on the other hand, he was helpless with Chen Xi's laziness. He would rather wander around all day long than go to the military camp.

Because of this, the emperor specially sent the chief eunuch to pass on the message, asking Chen Xi to be careful and not to betray his trust.

"It's okay, please rest assured, your majesty, my housekeeper is enough to train the boy over there, I don't need to do everything myself, just use the right people."

The chief eunuch could only take this sentence back to report to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, ignore him, I have seen that he is a lazy guy, and you can't expect him to have a promising future."

The emperor also got the news and looked through the relevant records of the founding period. After reading it, he was happy. No wonder Anping Hou is so virtuous, his ancestors were lazy after a long time.

So Anping Hou's ancestors were granted the throne of a county king, which is hereditary.

This time, the emperor simply let Chen Xi go and treat him as a mascot. The existence of Anping Hou is to show that the royal family has talents, and to prevent those nobles and civil and military officials from looking down on the royal family.

As for the three thousand cavalrymen, they were very happy to be under the command of Marquis Anping, not for anything else, but for the military pay and treatment.

Marquis Anping did not have the problem of eating empty salaries, and never embezzled the soldiers' military pay. He would pay all the money when he got it, and from time to time he would fight for some benefits for his subordinates.

Those messes in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were never under the command of Marquis Anping. If they really wanted to make some moves, Marquis Anping would really dare to come to his door.

So when the three thousand cavalrymen were assigned to Marquis Anping, the attitude of the superiors changed immediately. No one dared to ask for anything, let alone deliberately make trouble, for fear of provoking Marquis Anping.

The military pay of other military camps had to beg for a part of it, and even then, only a small part was distributed to the soldiers.

On the side of Anping Hou, no one had to go. His military pay was sent to him by the higher authorities. When the Ministry of Revenue sent it to the Ministry of War, it was specially marked. When the assistant minister of the Ministry of War saw it, he immediately arranged for people to distribute it without any delay.

Chen Xi's image of killing people in the parade ground did scare many people, especially those civil officials, who were really afraid.

Not only the civil officials were afraid, but also the nobles were afraid. If there was anyone who was most afraid of Anping Hou, it was undoubtedly Wang Xifeng.

After the gambling fight, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng to divorce without saying a word. He did not dare to divorce his wife, fearing that Anping Hou would cause trouble afterwards.

What if someone said, "Anping Hou is only worthy of picking up Jia Lian's divorced wife as a concubine"?

Anping Hou was indeed embarrassed, and Jia Lian would definitely not get any good, so it was better to divorce. It would be better to embarrass himself than to provoke Anping Hou's mansion.

Wang Xifeng has completely lost her own ideas. The Wang family has given up on her, and the Jia family has also given up on her. She is now like a commodity. She was stuffed into a sedan chair with no desire to live, and was sent to the Anping Marquis' Mansion overnight.

After entering the Anping Marquis' Mansion, Wang Xifeng was so scared that she couldn't imagine how difficult the future would be, nor how many cruel means would be used on her.

Wang Xifeng wanted to commit suicide, but the maids around her watched too closely, and she couldn't find a chance at all.

I finally saw Aunt Fu, who I didn't see last time, this time, but the identities of the two people have changed drastically.

Fu Jiang is a good concubine and is protected by the law. She, Wang Xifeng, is a lowly concubine and is completely unprotected. She is no different from a maid. She can be sold if she is told to sell her.

Wang Xifeng suppressed her inner fear and knelt down obediently. She felt so humiliated in her heart, but then she was afraid. She didn't know how Aunt Fu would punish her?

"Alright, stop shaking, you're acting like I'm some bad guy." Kawakami Tomie waved her hand and said, "Help your Aunt Wang up. She's already the concubine of the Marquis' Mansion, so you should give her the proper respect."

Two maids helped Wang Xifeng stand up. Kawakami Tomie looked at her carefully and found that she was indeed good-looking.

"Auntie Wang, once you enter the Marquis' Mansion, you must abide by the rules of the Marquis' Mansion. This is a good opportunity for you to experience it and see if the Marquis' Mansion is really so uneducated."

Wang Xifeng couldn't help but shiver again: "I dare not."

"I dare not, you said it before, forget it, I am too lazy to argue with you about the past, from now on, keep your mouth shut."

"Yes, I understand."

"It smells like blood." Kawakami Tomie waved her hand in disdain: "Just stay in your yard at ease, and when you have a good time, the Marquis will come to favor you."

Wang Xifeng's face flushed. It was too embarrassing to bring such a thing out in public.

Kawakami Tomie didn't take it seriously, and the maids in the Marquis' Mansion didn't take it seriously either. They seemed to be used to it. Wang Xifeng roared in her heart, and the Marquis' Mansion was indeed uneducated.

Little did they know that the mansion was the most educated place. The maids in the mansion were regularly taught physiology and hygiene by Kawakami Tomie, and if anyone had dysmenorrhea, they could ask for leave.

Only in the mansion were these maids treated as human beings, and they were grateful and willing to die for the mansion.

Only the people in the mansion knew about this kind of thing, and outsiders didn't know. After all, the times and society were different, and Chen Xi didn't want to challenge the rules of the whole society. He only cared about his own little piece of land.

The slaves and maids were all people in the mansion, so they were considered his own people. They all came out to work when they were underage. Chen Xi's little sympathy was enough for these people to be grateful.

Wang Xifeng didn't suffer the torture she was worried about. The people in the mansion didn't make it difficult for her. She had good food and drink, and no one bullied her.

Strictly speaking, there were only three masters in the mansion, the Marquis, Aunt Fu, and then she, Wang Xifeng. A lowly concubine was also a concubine, and her status was still higher than that of a maid.

Wang Xifeng gradually got used to the life in the Marquis' Mansion, and even felt that it was better than in the Jia Mansion. There were not so many troubles, no need to work hard, and no need for intrigue.

In the Marquis' Mansion, she didn't even have to pay her respects. She just had to live her life well. If there was anything bad, it was too boring.

As a concubine, Wang Xifeng couldn't go out casually. She could only stay in her own yard. She didn't know how to pass the time.

When chatting with the maids in private, Wang Xifeng also mentioned that she should find something to do. If she continued like this, she would drive people crazy.

So she started to work and learned to read with the maids. In terms of cultural knowledge, she, as an aunt, couldn't compare with the maids around her.

"Auntie can't read. Even if you buy a storybook, you can't understand it."

OK! Don't say anything, just learn.

Wang Xifeng didn't dare to argue with her maid. If she didn't bully her, she couldn't use her master's status to pressure her. She didn't even have the indenture, so who could she pressure?

In addition to learning to read, she also had to learn needlework. There were special maids in the mansion to teach these.

After more than half a month in the mansion, Wang Xifeng finally waited for the obligations she should fulfill as a concubine. To be honest, she was very nervous. The psychological shadow brought to her by Anping Hou was too great.

Lying on the bed, Wang Xifeng was trembling, afraid that she would make the marquis unhappy and be kicked out the next second.

Wang Xifeng saw with her own eyes how Jiao Da was kicked to death.

Fortunately, the marquis didn't abuse her much. On the contrary, he was still very gentle in some things, but this endurance...she couldn't stand it.

After a whole night, when it was almost dawn, Wang Xifeng fell into a deep sleep. She was so tired that her voice was hoarse.

Before going to bed, Wang Xifeng finally understood why she didn't need to be punished for offending the Marquis' Mansion, because the Marquis himself was a punishment. At this rate, if the Marquis continued to come to her yard, she would die in bed sooner or later.

Chen Xi was in high spirits, and not sleeping for a night was nothing to him.

Wang Xifeng fell asleep, and Chen Xi simply returned to the main courtyard and had breakfast with Kawakami Tomie.

"How do you feel?"

"Generally, she is a noble lady after all, and she is trained as the wife. Although she looks fierce on the outside, she still abides by the rules of the wife on the inside."

"Isn't it that she is not flirty enough?"

"Well, she needs to be trained well."

"That's meaningless." Kawakami Tomie thought of Lin Daiyu and joked, "Will Lin Daiyu look like this in the future?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, she should be."

"It depends on whether Lin Ruhai can survive. If it is my turn to train Lin Daiyu, I will definitely satisfy you, Lord."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see to what extent Lin Daiyu's personality can collapse."

"Leave it to me."

Lin Daiyu, who was far away in Yangzhou, shuddered inexplicably, as if she was stared at by something dirty.

Wang Xifeng's side began a miserable life. She was really trained in various ways. The Lord's actions completely overturned her cognition. Is it really okay to have holes?

If it weren't for the wrong model, she would worry about whether her nostrils and ears would be persecuted.

In front of the Marquis, Wang Xifeng abandoned her dignity and seriously acted as a concubine who entertained people with her beauty. The etiquette that a wife needed to abide by had nothing to do with her anymore. She was now just a plaything.

Wang Xifeng also gradually became addicted to it from feeling ashamed. It turned out that after letting go of her self-esteem, some things were so comfortable. What was face? She didn't care about it.

Jia Lian was also shameless. Now the Jia family and the Wang family have become a joke in the capital, and Jia Lian was the first to bear the brunt.

If possible, Jia Lian didn't want to go out, but all the affairs outside the Jia family required him to come forward, so he simply gave up his face. Otherwise, what could he do?

Jia's mother was partial and couldn't bear to embarrass Jia Zheng and Baoyu. The embarrassing matter could only be handled by the eldest wife. Jia She had spoken, and Jia Lian had to listen.

At this time, Wang Xifeng had not given birth to Qiaojie, and Jia Lian had no offspring. After all, he was the direct descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. He couldn't help but marry a wife, but the problem was that no one was willing to marry him.

Jia Lian was the person involved in the loss of face by the Jia family. Any family that was of equal status to the Jia family was unwilling to marry their daughters to them, and those who were willing to marry to them were not considered by the Jia family to be of low status.

After a long time of procrastination, Jia Lian was unable to remarry. He was not short of women, and he was not in a hurry without a wife.

More than a year after crossing over, Chen Xi's title was promoted because he had found a high-yield grain seed from a farm in the suburbs, and he directly offered it.

The emperor was very pleased. Grain was a national priority, so he immediately promoted the title of Marquis of Anping to Duke of Anguo.

Lin Daiyu, who was about to turn 8, was also stunned after hearing the news. Was she going to be the wife of a duke in the future?

When you sit at home, blessings come from heaven?

In the Lin Mansion today, all the servants of the Jia family are gone. The maids who take care of Lin Daiyu are from the palace, and the maids around her are also bought later.

Because of this, Jia Mu was very unhappy, but when Chen Xi attacked the Jia family, Jia Mu no longer dared to attack the Lin family, and she just treated Lin Daiyu as her granddaughter.

If you want to say who Jia Mu hated the most, it must be Chen Xi. She hated him to death, but she didn't dare to take revenge.

After learning that Anping Hou became Anguo Gong, Jia Mu fainted on the spot. The only thing she could use to comfort herself was that he was now a duke, and a contemporary duke, and she was just the widow of a duke.

After Jia Mu woke up, she hugged Jia Baoyu and cried. She could only put all her hopes on Jia Baoyu. In her opinion, Baoyu was the only person in the Jia family who had great fortune.

At the same time, Wang Xifeng, who once had the same cognition, was despised by a maid: "Born with jade in his mouth? Great fortune? Auntie, are you okay? Isn't this a disaster?"
