Chapter 189: The Prison Flower in the Cage, the Happiness of the Canary
In line with the idea of going home first to comfort his wife and concubine, Chen Xi returned to his house as soon as he left Liu Bei, saying that he had shipped hundreds of millions of money back, and he didn't know where Fan Jian hid the money.
"The master is back." Uncle Chen greeted Chen Xi with a smile when he saw him coming back, saying that Chen Xi has finally left the level of a son, but the eighteen-year-old man, this is really a bit shabby.
"Uncle Chen, you take a rest more, this kind of thing will be handed over to the nursing home, you can take care of the elderly, you are a housekeeper not a gatekeeper, I will find you a Meiji in two days, you hurry up and have another son, and take care of the whole year." Chen Xi said with a smile on his face, as his father's housekeeper, and after many years of hard work, the Chen family never abandoned when it was in decline, and he couldn't let the family go to extinction.
"How can you let this group of boys watch the door, it's not good if you collide, the master is now the Hou Ye, how can you let this group of ignorant boys watch the door." Old Butler Chen glanced back at the straight nursing homes and flicked his sleeves, it was obvious that there were definitely people in this group of nursing homes who had not looked at the door before.
"Okay, okay, 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 thought that Steward Chen should do things more properly.
"The slave has seen the master." As soon as I stepped into the inner courtyard, there was a group of warblers and swallows bowing over the greetings.
Chen Xi felt that his eyebrows were constantly beating, compared to the last time he came back, it seemed that there were more than a dozen women in the family, and they looked like they were all very standard, what was the situation?
Chen Xi was a little speechless. Liu Bei is bored and stuffed at home, there are two men in the family, one is Uncle Chen, who is the housekeeper. Part-time janitor, basically don't enter the inner courtyard, as for the nursing home or something, Chen Xi didn't calculate it at all, and now it's Yan zhòng Yin and Yang are declining.
......Chen Xi thought evilly, but just thought about it, with his body, he would lose money if he didn't do it. It's okay to go to the Qinglou in three or five days, go every day, and it is estimated that it won't be long before you lie down. He is not Guo Jia's character who takes romance as a habit.
"Jian'er, why are there so many servant girls in the family?" Chen Xi pushed the door in, and Fan Jian really sat on the edge of the bed embroidering, but there was an extra thimble on his finger than before. The tip of the needle is pricked into the finger again. It is said that Chen Xi has made this thing very popular, which shows that in this era, basically a woman will embroider, and future generations will ......
"Hmph, how do I know?" Fan Jian pouted and said very dissatisfied, the first thing he did when he came back didn't ask how she was doing, but actually asked the maid at home what was going on.
Chen Xi rolled his eyes, if you don't agree. It would be strange if these maidservants could enter the Chen family, but he didn't have the idea of guessing the complicated and simple mind. Although the complex and simple mind is relatively simple, you can guess it by guessing, but it's not fun to guess, alas~ girl......
Chen Xi said a lot of things, and finally took out the whole thing from Fan Jian's mouth.
Of the more than a dozen maids in Chen Xi's family, eight of them were rewarded by Liu Bei when he came back some time ago, and the maidservants that Liu Bei rewarded must be of the highest quality, although they are definitely far inferior to Cai Yan's kind of talented women.
Five of the remaining ten were sent by the Zhang family, along with some other gifts, and the rest were given by the old mother in the place where Chen Xi had no money to prepare for the overlord prostitution last time, from eleven or twelve years old to twenty-one or twelve years old, and they were all Qingqi'er, which was already very big.
However, looking back, I told Chen Xi that the Manxiang Building, which was originally in the small alley in the corner, had opened to the main street and occupied a pretty good position, and Chen Xi really didn't want to say anything.
Chen Xi didn't even have to think about it to know what was going on, eighty percent was when his group of people went to clean up Yuan Shu, Lu Su worked alone, and saw that the other party took Chen Xi's note to change places, and he didn't ask what the other party was doing and directly approved a place on the main street, after all, Chen Xi's face was to be given, and then this green building appeared on the main street.
As for the other party's plan to change to a good place from the beginning, Chen Xi wouldn't think about it at all, not how noble he thought of the entire Han Dynasty businessman, but the attention of a businessman who dared to fight a real power marquis?
What are you kidding, crush you to death every minute, just do business with the family of this era, and never worry about someone taking their money away, not because they think of the merchant's moral integrity, but because people can crush you businessmen to death in minutes, just like the Mi family, if it weren't for Liu Bei supporting behind, the five wealthy businessmen would let the Zhen family die in Jizhou in minutes It is really stress-free.
"Husband, did you really write that note?" Fan Jian sat in Chen Xi's arms, stroked Chen Xi's chest with his hand and asked with some curiosity, but what was the hand shape that was ready to go?
"Hahaha, that's to ransom Tan Zhi, didn't I have no money on me?" Chen Xi laughed dryly, and found that he was looking at himself lukewarmly, so he replied honestly.
"Do you think I believe it?" Fan Jian stared at Chen Xi and asked.
"I guess I don't believe it, but it's nothing." After asking the second time, Chen Xi didn't bother to pretend to be afraid, and said indifferently.
Fan Jian was stunned for a moment, and the action he had prepared couldn't be done, so he just sat on Chen Xi's lap, stared at Chen Xi without speaking, and after a long time, he said faintly, "Husband, is Jian'er so unlikable to you?" ”
"It's not annoying, it's not boring." Chen Xi's expression was very strange, he knew very well that the effect of cold treatment at this time was very good, in addition to hurting feelings, but there were some things that had to be clarified.
"Since you already know some things, don't ask, do what you have to do, what I said is true, I don't want to explain, and for so long, you know everything you should know, there is no need to ask me, in fact, Chen Lan is very good, never ask these things, you should know very well, I haven't touched anyone at home except Chen Lan, what is outside, you also know what you should know." Chen Xi said indifferently.
"Jealousy is allowed, and dissatisfaction is allowed, but please do your job, this era is like this, I did what I had to do, and please do what you should do, don't worry, no one can take your wife's seat." Chen Xi also knew that the appearance of so many women in the family had a great impact on Fan Jian, the housemother who had not yet married, after all, the woman sent by the Zhang family was obviously specially trained and knowledgeable about the role of etiquette, which made Fan Jian very stressed.
Fan Jian looked at Chen Xi aggrievedly, his eyes were full of tears, Chen Xi sighed, the little girl was trouble, hugged her into her arms, and said softly in her ear, "Jian'er, you don't need that, all I can give you is the position of the wife, no one can take it away, I can't say the same thing as loving you, I can only guarantee what you want." The Chen family will always be in your Lord. ”
"Forget it, move to me in the future." Chen Xi intuitively told himself that this was probably the easiest way to solve the problem.
Fan Jian lay on Chen Xi's shoulder and cried softly, she was very aggrieved, looking at the more maids in the family day by day, and the husband who had not seen her once for a long time, it was very realistic and very simple.
Chen Xi did not have the slightest restraint on her, which made Fan Jian very insecure, and Chen Xi did not guarantee anything for her, that is, after receiving Mount Tai, Chen Xi's identity would change every time he went out, originally a down-and-out son of the Chen family, but now he has become a Hou Ye, every time he comes back, Fan Jian will feel that the gap between himself and Chen Xi is getting bigger.
Chen Xi rarely lives with Fan Jian, although he doesn't spend much time with Chen Lan, but as long as people are in Fenggao, he will rest at Chen Lan's place every three or five days, and here in Fan Jian, Chen Xi rarely comes over.
"Okay, don't cry, I'll give you whatever you want." Chen Xi picked up Fan Jian, wiped away his tears with his thumb, and looked at the girl in front of him, sixteen years old in the mood for love, he was just a high school student in his original era, and he had to worry too much about things in this era.
Fan Jian's tears rolled down big drops, as if he wanted to wash away all the grievances during this period of time with tears, but Chen Xi looked at Fan Jian silently, did not speak, and just quietly hugged Fan Jian.
Chen Xi looked up at the carved beams and paintings, and sighed silently in his heart, [The bird in the cage also has its own happiness. Since Fan Jian 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, and the girl's dream should not be shattered in her husband's hands.
[I can't do the flowers you want, but I can allow you to marry in red clothes, and I can't do the ten miles of peach blossoms you want, but I can take you to see all the prosperity, and I can't do the green silk and white hair you want, but I can make you rich and glorious. Chen Xi silently thought that the girl dreamed, and he had already passed this period, what he could give was very realistic.
shattered the fantasy of the previous girl, this time Chen Xi was a lot more careful, even if she gave her the reality, it still left her too much leeway, although the prison flower in the cage is Fan Jian's own choice, but unfortunately there will always be a gap between dream and reality, the canary in the cage has its own happiness, but Chen Xi doesn't want to exploit her pair of wings that can fly high with her, even if Fan Jian himself feels that he can't use it.
Chen Xi smiled bitterly and looked at Fan Jian who fell asleep in his arms, he was still crying before, but now he fell asleep with him when he was tired of crying, he was still too young, gently brushing the hair between her ears, Chen Xi lowered his head and kissed shallowly.
Chen Lan lay at the window and watched this scene quietly, the excitement period of the Chen family's identity as a concubine has passed, as a singer and now a good concubine of the Hou Ye, Chen Lan has experienced too many tribulations, respectfully do what she should do, she and Chen Xi have been together for a longer time, she is very clear about Chen Xi's personality, indifferent, cold, but she will never forget the old people, as long as she does not overpass, Chen Xi will not forget any woman who recognizes.
