Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms
Text Chapter 189: The Flower in the Cage, the Happiness of the Canary
With the idea of going home first to comfort his wife and concubines, Chen Xi went back to his home immediately after leaving Liu Bei behind, saying that he brought hundreds of millions of money back, and he didn't know where Fan Jian hid the money.
"Master is back." Old Uncle Chen greeted with a smile when he saw Chen Xi coming back. He said that Chen Xi had finally left the level of a son, but the eighteen-year-old master was really a bit shabby.
"Old man Chen, you need to rest a little longer. I will leave things like guarding the house to the nursing home. You can take care of your old age. You are the housekeeper, not the gatekeeper. I will find you a beautiful girl in two days, and you should hurry up and ask for another one." Son, just take care of yourself." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, as the housekeeper during his father's time, and he worked hard for many years, he never left when the Chen family was in decline, so he couldn't let the family die.
"How can I let this group of boys guard the door? It would be bad if there is a collision. My master is now Lord Hou. How can I let this group of ignorant boys guard the door?" Old housekeeper Chen glanced back at those straight-faced men. Nursing courtyard flicked its sleeves. It was obvious that someone in this group of nursing courtyards hadn't taken a good look at the door before.
"All right, all right, I'll build you a hut in the compound in two days, so you don't have to wait at the door." Chen Xi compromised, after all, Chen Xi also thinks that Butler Chen should handle things more properly.
"My servant has seen the master." As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, there were a group of Yingying Yanyan nodding their heads and bowing their heads to greet them.
Chen Xi felt that his eyebrows were constantly beating. Compared with the last time he came back, it seemed that there were more than a dozen more women in the family, and they were all beautiful. What's the situation?
Chen Xi was a little speechless, thinking that Liu Bei must be bored to make things for the family. There are only two men in his family, and one is the housekeeper, Uncle Chen, who also works as a doorkeeper. He basically didn't enter the inner courtyard, and Chen Xi didn't even count on the nursing courtyard. Now it's seriously yin and yang decline.
[Forget about turning them all into maids...] Chen Xi thought wickedly. But just think about it, just his physical fitness. Maybe it will be a loss. Going to the brothel for three to five days is okay. If you go every day, you will probably be lying down in a short time. He is not the kind of person like Guo Jia who treats flirtatiousness as a habit.
"Jian'er, why are there so many maidservants in the house?" Chen Xi pushed the door open, and Fan Jian was indeed sitting by the bed embroidering, but there was one more thimble on her finger than before. The point of the provincial needle pierced her finger again. It is said that Chen Xi has made this thing very popular. It can be seen that in this era, basically every woman can embroider. In future generations...
"Hmph, how would I know?" Fanjian pouted and said dissatisfiedly, the first thing she came back was not to ask her how she was doing, but to ask the maid at home what happened.
Chen Xi rolled his eyes, if you disagree with Fanjian, it would be strange if these maidservants could enter Chen's house. But he didn't have the idea of guessing Fanjian's mind, although Fanjian's mind is relatively simple, so he can guess it. But it’s not fun to guess, ah~ Girls...
After a lot of talk, Chen Xi finally got the whole story out of Fanjian's mouth.
Of the dozen or so new maids in Chen Xi's family, eight of them were rewarded by Liu Bei some time ago when he came back. The maids that Liu Bei rewarded must all be top-notch, although they must be far inferior to talented girls like Cai Yan.
Five of the remaining ten were given by Mrs. Zhang, along with some other gifts, and the rest were given by the old mother of the place where Chen Xi had no money to prepare for Bawang's prostitution. . They are all in their twenties, and they are all young men. This is already a big deal.
But looking back, Fanjian told Chen Xi that Manxianglou, which was originally in a small alley in a corner, opened to the main street, and it occupied a pretty good location. Chen Xi really didn't want to say anything.
Chen Xi knew what was going on without even thinking about it. Most likely, when his group of people went to clean up Yuan Shu, Lu Su worked hard all by himself. Seeing that the other party took Chen Xi's note to change places, he didn't ask him what he was doing at all. He directly approved a place on the main street, after all, Chen Xi had to give face, and then this brothel appeared on the main street.
As for the fact that the other party planned to change to a better place from the very beginning, Chen Xi didn't think about it at all. It wasn't that he thought of the whole Han Dynasty businessman as noble, but that a businessman dared to attract the attention of a powerful lord?
What a joke, I will crush you to death every minute, just like doing business with aristocratic families in this era, never worrying about someone taking away their money, not because they value the businessman's morality, but because they can share their money. You businessmen are crushed to death every minute, just like the Mi family, if not for Liu Bei's support, the five big businessmen, there is no pressure to have the Zhen family crushed to death in Jizhou every minute.
"Husband, did you really write that note?" Sitting in Chen Xi's arms, Fan Jian put her hand on Chen Xi's chest and asked curiously, but what happened to that ready-to-go hand?
"Hahaha, that's for Tan Zhi's ransom, don't I have money on me?" Chen Xi smiled dryly, and found that Fan Jian was looking at him indifferently, so he replied honestly.
"Do you think I believe it?" Fanjian stared at Chen Xi and asked.
"I probably don't believe it, but it's nothing." After asking the second time, Chen Xi didn't bother to pretend to be scared, and said indifferently.
Fan Jian was taken aback, unable to continue with the action she had planned, so she just sat on Chen Xi's lap, stared at Chen Xi without saying a word, and after a long time said quietly, "Husband, is that why Jian Er doesn't like you so much?"
"I can't say I hate it, and I can't say I'm bored." Chen Xi's expression was very strange. He knew very well that the effect of cold treatment at this time is very good, except that it will hurt feelings, but there are some things that must be clarified.
"Since you already know some things, it's better not to ask, do what you should do, what I said is true, I don't want to explain, and after such a long time, you know everything you should know, there is no need to ask Me, Chen Lan is actually very good, I never ask these things, you should be very clear, I have never touched anyone at home except Chen Lan, and you know what you should know about what's going on outside." Chen Xi said indifferently.
"Jealousy is allowed, and dissatisfaction is allowed, but please do your job well. This is the way it is in this era. I have done what I should do, and please do what you should do. Don't worry, no one will snatch your real wife Seat." Chen Xi also knew how much influence the appearance of so many women in the family would have on Fan Jian, the unmarried mistress, after all, the women sent by Mrs. Zhang had obviously undergone special training, and they were well-versed in characters. , which made Fanjian very stressed.
Fan Jian looked at Chen Xi aggrievedly, her eyes filled with tears, Chen Xi sighed, the little girl was troublesome, she hugged her into her arms, and whispered in her ear, "Jane, you don't need that, I can give you I only have the position of wife, and no one can take it away. I can't say that I love you, I can only guarantee what you want. The Chen family will always be your master."
"Forget it, move to live with me in the future." Chen Xi told himself intuitively, this is probably the easiest solution.
Fan Jian lay on Chen Xi's shoulder and wept softly. She was very aggrieved. Looking at the number of maids at home and the husband whom she hadn't seen for a long time, it was very realistic and simple.
Chen Xi didn't have the slightest restraint on her, which made Fan Jian very insecure, and Chen Xi didn't guarantee anything for her, even after receiving Mount Tai, Chen Xi's identity would change every time she went out, and she was originally a down-and-out son of the Chen family , and now he has become Lord Marquis, every time Fanjian comes back, she will feel that the gap between herself and Chen Xi is getting bigger and bigger.
Chen Xi seldom lived with Fanjian. Although he didn't live with Chen Lan much, as long as he was in Fenggao, he would rest at Chen Lan's place every now and then, but Chen Xi seldom came over to Fanjian.
"Okay, don't cry, I will give you whatever you want." Chen Xi hugged Fanjian, wiped away her tears with her thumb, looked at the girl in front of her, sixteen-year-old In the Mood for Love, In his original era, he was just a high school student, but in this era, he has to worry about too many things.
Fanjian's tears rolled down in big drops, as if to wash away all the grievances during this period of time with tears, while Chen Xi looked at Fanjian silently, did not speak, just hugged Fanjian quietly .
Chen Xi looked up at Diaoliang Huadong, sighed silently in his heart, 【A bird in a cage also has its own happiness. 】Since Fanjian wants that kind of happiness, then give it to her. If you can’t give her all the love, then give her enough happiness. After all, she doesn’t want much. A girl’s dream should not be broken in the hands of her husband. superior.
[I can't do the flowers you want, but I can promise you to marry Hongxia, I can't do the ten miles of peach blossoms you want, but I can show you all the prosperity, I can't do the white hair you want, but I can make you rich and prosperous. 】Chen Xi silently thought of the girl's fantasy dream, but he has already passed this period, and what he can give is very realistic.
Broke the fantasy of the last girl, this time Chen Xi was a lot more careful, even if she gave Fanjian the reality, she still left too much room for her, although the prisoner flower in the cage was Fanjian's own choice, it's a pity that the dream and the reality There will always be a gap, the canary in the cage has its own happiness, but Chen Xi doesn't want to exploit her pair of wings that can carry her soaring, even if Fanjian thinks she doesn't need them.
Chen Xi looked at Fan Jian who fell asleep in his arms with a wry smile. He was still crying before, but now he fell asleep holding him when he was tired from crying. He was still too young, so he gently brushed the hair between her ears. Chen Xi lowered his head and kissed her hair.
Chen Lan lay at the window and watched this scene quietly. The exciting period of being a concubine of the Chen family has passed. Chen Lan, who has been a singer and now a good concubine of the Marquis, has experienced too many hardships and respectfully does her best Everything she should do, she has spent more time with Chen Xi, and she is very clear about Chen Xi's personality, indifferent and indifferent, but she will never forget the old man, as long as she does not go beyond, Chen Xi will not forget any woman she admits.
