Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 47 Temporary intention
Chu Nanning paused and said, "Tell your uncle and aunt that I will go there as soon as possible tomorrow!"

She had a deal with Taifu Ye, and Taifu Ye would not come to her for nothing. Since he sent someone to invite her to come over tomorrow, there must be something going on!

Chu Nanning had dinner with Mrs. Pei, asked Qingzhi to wait for her to rest, and asked Ziye to go with her.

She asked Ziye in detail about the gangsters who came to make trouble today. Ziye was very frightened at the time, but she knew that she had to guard the old lady, so although her words were a little stuttered, she still told the general situation. Again.

Chu Nanning could tell from her words that these gangsters were probably being instigated by others or were paid to do things.

As for the people behind the scenes, we still have to investigate, but those gangsters have made trouble today and will not let it go. The old lady is old. Although her body has been nursed back to health, she cannot be frightened all the time and cannot let them. Go make trouble again.

That shop is in Xicheng.

West City!
Chu Nanning squinted her eyes to look at the sky, and said to Ziye: "I understand, follow the old lady in and out, and take good care of the old lady!"

"Yes, miss!"

Xia Chixiao stayed in the newly purchased house until evening before going back to Liyang Hou Mansion.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the butler Wu Jinchuan coming to greet him and said: "My eldest son, you are finally back!"

Xia Chixiao said, "Is something wrong?"

Wu Jinchuan said: "Someone is coming from the palace, and I'm calling you to come to the palace tomorrow to meet the saint!"

Xia Chixiao saw his anxious look and said, "Isn't it tomorrow? Why are you anxious?"

Wu Jinchuan sighed and said: "My eldest son, I am not in a hurry, but the Marquis is! The Marquis asked you to go to the study immediately after you come back!"

Xia Chixiao said: "I know, I'll go now!"

Xia Haicheng's study is guarded by special personnel. Even if Xia Chixiao is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, he is not allowed to enter.

At this moment, Xia Chixiao arrived at the door of the study. The two servants guarding the door did not let him in immediately, but one of them went in to inform him.

Xia Chixiao didn't care about guarding his son like a thief.

He had been in the army and knew that the secrets involved should not be revealed to others. The previous generations of Marquis Liyang were military generals, but in the generation of Marquis Liyang's father, he turned to literature.

The late emperor wished that the descendants of military generals would follow Wen and take back military power.

Therefore, he gave a lot of preferential treatment to the Marquis of Liyang Mansion, and also allowed his son to marry the daughter of the old Marquis of Liyang as a concubine.Later, this son became the prince and then the emperor. The daughter of Liyanghou Mansion also went from being a concubine to a concubine to the prince, and then to being a concubine in the palace. She even gave birth to the emperor’s eldest son, Prince Shang Jianye of Qi. and the sixth prince Shang Wenhao.

With the help of his wife, even if the queen's son was named a prince, King Qi's reputation and power in the court would not be much weaker than that of the prince.

Therefore, it is normal that some secrets of Liyanghou Mansion cannot be known to outsiders.

After a while, the door opened, and the servant who announced it said: "Young Master, the Marquis wants you to come in!"

Xia Chixiao walked into the study.

There are two rows of bookshelves in the study room, filled with books, many of which are unique. These books alone are worth a lot of money.

On the right is a book shelf. Some of the ornaments placed on the shelf are exquisite objects. If you take them out and sell them, they are enough for ordinary people to live a life without worries for ten years.

Liyanghou Mansion is also considered to have a profound foundation.

The military generals were rich, especially the Marquis of Liyang who fought on the battlefield in the past dynasties and received rich benefits, trophies, and royal rewards.

Even though these two generations of Liyang Marquis were civil servants, the wealth accumulated over many generations would not be enough for future generations to eat and clothe themselves in for several lifetimes.

Xia Chixiao saluted without squinting: "Father!" Marquis Liyang looked at him with a look in his eyes.

Neither father nor son spoke.

After a while, Marquis Liyang said: "I heard that these days you go out at dawn and come back after dark. What have you been doing?"

Xia Chixiao said: "My son has just returned to the capital not long ago. He has no neighbors and friends. He makes friends selflessly. He is not familiar with everything in the capital. So while I am free now, I should go out more and make some friends!"

Marquis Li Yang's frown slightly relaxed.

Still looking at him carefully, seeing his calm expression, he said, "Why did the emperor suddenly summon you?"

Xia Chixiao shook his head: "The king's heart is unpredictable, and your son doesn't know it!"

Marquis Liyang thought about it and felt that it made some sense. Concubine Qing did not come back with any news, so it was obviously the emperor's impromptu decision.

Besides, if the emperor feels that Xia Chixiao has had enough rest, it would also be a good thing to let him regain military power or arrange for him to do some errands.

He said: "I know that the environment in the north is difficult. You grew up in the countryside and no one taught you any knowledge. Fortunately, my Xia family's bloodline is strong. Even if you leave us since childhood, you can still work hard and become talented."

As he said that, he patted Xia Chixiao on the shoulder and said in the tone of a loving old father: "But many things are different in the capital than in the north. There are still many things you need to learn and pay attention to. In the face of the Saint You must be especially careful when you are in front of the emperor. You must not lose your etiquette in front of the emperor, and you must not talk nonsense! If you are not careful, not only will you lose your head, but the Liyang Hou Mansion will also be implicated!"

"I know!" Xia Chixiao narrowed his eyes.

Marquis Liyang rarely talked to him about the relationship between the capital and Xia Chixiao, who looked calm and drew inferences from one example.

Marquis Liyang looked at him with a look of expectation and relief.

Trading that dandy Xia Zhenyuan for such a son was like trading sesame seeds for watermelon, and he was very satisfied!
Xia Chixiao also gained something from these words of Marquis Li Yang. Some things he checked were still different from what the head of a wealthy family revealed.

The father and son had a rare conversation for nearly half an hour.

When he came out of the study, Xia Jingxuan happened to see him.

Jealousy flashed in Xia Jingxuan's eyes, but instead of looking for Xia Chixiao, he turned around to find Xia Yuxuan.

Before Xia Chixiao arrived in the capital, Marquis Liyang felt that his eldest son was dead, so he planned to train his second son and third son, and choose one of the two sons to be the marquis.

But now, both of them felt that their father valued Xia Chixiao.

Is the title going to be given to this bastard?
The two of them were naturally unwilling to give in, but they couldn't beat each other hard, and the other party still held the title of eldest brother.

So these two brothers followed Qi's side to show their courtesy.

After all, the relationship between the son who had been growing up by her side must be much deeper than the son who had just been brought back. And Xia Chixiao was not so obedient, so the Qi family loved these two little sons even more.

Xia Chixiao went directly to Qingpu Courtyard. On the way, he met the Qi family.

Qi glanced at the direction he came from and then at him.

Xia Chixiao said: "Mother!"

Mrs. Qi responded. It was obviously a formal etiquette, not disrespectful at all, but there was no intimacy at all.

Mrs. Qi frowned and said casually: "What does your father want from you?"
