Chapter 508
"Mr. Marquis, you are finally back!" The housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion was waiting at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion until he saw Chen Xu's carriage.
"I'll go to Qinghe Park and make the butler worry!" Chen Xu said from the car.
"So that's it. I thought the Marquis was in the newspaper office, so I asked someone to ask and said that the Marquis had left half an hour ago!"
"What's the matter with me in such a hurry?" Chen Xu walked towards the kitchen while tidying up his clothes. After most of the day, he probably spit out the mud and sand. He also ate some food in the newspaper office in the evening. He is very worried about this rare delicacy.
"Mr. Mengyun sent a letter saying that he would hand it over to you in person, and was still waiting in the living room!" The butler followed behind and said.
"Are you still waiting for me?" Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and turned around and walked towards the living room.
Sure enough, Meng Yun was sitting in the living room drinking tea and snacks, and several little maids were serving each other carefully.
"Mr. Meng is sorry, I'm late to come back!"
Chen Xu bowed his guilt when he entered the door, Meng Yun quickly stood up. There was no anxious expression on his face that made countless women envious and jealous. Instead, he said with joy: "I dare not. My father arranged for Meng Yun to send a letter to the Marquis, and asked me to bring a sentence, so he waited for a moment!"
After sitting down, Chen Xu waved his hand and asked the maid and the butler to leave the room. After the door was closed, he said with a slightly serious expression: "I wonder what Lord Meng's letter said?"
"Meng Yun doesn't know either, the marquis knows it at first glance!" Meng Yun took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Xu.
The letter was very little, and I finished reading it in a few glances. After reading it, Chen Xu showed joy on his face and said, "I really thank you Lord Meng this time! I wonder what other words Mr. Meng has to say?"
"My father just asked when the marquis planned to marry my sister?" Meng Yun said word by word as he stared at Chen Xu's face.
Chen Xu:...
Sure enough, the old hooligan Meng Yi would not help in vain. He was still thinking about this on the road just now, but he came to force the marriage as soon as he got home.
Don’t you know that I just died of a wife?
Damn it's only over seven days today, so you won't be so anxious to force a marriage, right? What's more, marrying a wife during the mourning period is not a good idea.
Chen Xu looked at Meng Yun with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Meng, it's not that I don't want to marry, but it's not suitable for now. But please ask Mr. Meng to go back and tell Lord Meng that what Xu promised will definitely be promised, let alone Wan Niang is so young..."
"It doesn't matter if you are young. The marquis will get older after marrying him for a few years!" Before Chen Xu could finish his words, Meng Yun quickly figured out a solution for him.
Chen Xu stared at Meng Yun with a dark line on his head, wanting to press his beautiful face to the wall and rub it a few times, because this expression was so cheap.
If his sister Xing'er was going to get married, she would have to wait until she was fifteen or even eighteen years old, and at least she had to wait until Shui Qingrou's age. As for Niu Dashi, she would either wait or marry another woman. He would never allow his sister to be abused by other men at the age of thirteen.
But Meng Yi's intention is obviously to waste his thirteen-year-old daughter to Chen Xu.
This is naturally not a normal phenomenon. Chen Xu thought about it and felt that the matter might still be caused by the emperor.
Chen Xu naturally would not agree to this matter at once, so he enthusiastically invited Meng Yun to drink and eat fried crabs to change the topic. Meng Yun brought his father's letter and words. Since Chen Xu was satisfied, he could go back to hand in the job. So after half an hour, he was drunk and took a large plate of crabs back in the car.
After seeing Meng Yun off, Chen Xu read the letter again and felt much more relaxed.
Today, Meng Yi proposed to let Jiang Pu serve as the CRRC Mansion Commander. The emperor would definitely not agree to this matter, but he could use retreat to advance and make Jiang Hu's contribution to the storm to save Jiang Beiting and Jiang Heng from this storm.
Originally, when the incident broke out about Zhao Zhe, the emperor was furious not only wanted the car to split Zhao Gao, but also arrested and imprisoned more than a dozen second-, third- and fourth-rank officials in the court. Jiang Beiting and Gao Yong naturally could not escape. They were sent by the Ministry of Justice to detain Wancheng for trial in Xianyang. Therefore, from that day on, Chen Xu was trying to find a way to get Jiang Beiting out of this matter.
But it was not until the news of Jianghu's victory in Hebei that Chen Xu finally thought of a good way, so he wrote a letter to ask Meng Yi to take a chance to tell the emperor. Unexpectedly, shortly after his letter was sent, the emperor summoned the big leaders of the three provinces to discuss personnel arrangements.
As a comrade-in-arms who stood in the same trench as Chen Xu several times, and as a father-in-law and son-in-law, and now he has found a porcelain clay mine specializing in making porcelain in Jiangxi, the magnetic kiln and craftsmen have begun to prepare. Within half a year, new porcelain will be launched in large quantities, and money will come in at that time. For a family like the Montessori, which has a big family, it will naturally greatly improve the current short-suffering economic difficulties. Moreover, Jiang is also a major shareholder of the porcelain factory, occupying 20% of the shares. Therefore, even if Chen Xu does not mention it, Meng Yi will more or less help.
In the letter, Meng Yi simply mentioned the emperor's arrangements for Jiang Pu, Jiang Heng and Jiang Beiting, which naturally stated that he had tried his best to complete Chen Xu's instructions. The meaning of another sentence that Meng Yun asked Chen Xu was also very clear. You have already helped me. You should follow the arrangements for your promise to marry my daughter.
Old fox, old fox, it’s simply shameless!
Chen Xu walked around the room with a letter. Although he cursed Meng Yi in his heart, he smiled very happily on his face.
According to Chen Xu's previous idea, at most, he could fish out Jiangbeiting and then demote his official position to a civilian. In this way, Jiangbeiting would simply run a porcelain factory. In a few years, he would naturally become a huge businessman who could not match the country. From then on, he monopolized the domestic porcelain industry and opened up the Western Regions. Then he sold porcelain to India, Central Asia and even Europe through caravans, and exchanged a large amount of gold and jewelry. Chen Xu could naturally make a mountain of gold and silver.
However, Jiang Hu's contribution this time was too great, obviously beyond all the victory endings that the emperor could predict. Therefore, the punishment for the Jiang brothers became completely understatement. After being demoted to several levels of official positions, he was still an official. Not only that, he also transferred the boss Jiang Pu back to the Ministry of Personnel in Xianyang. After Jiang Hu's return, he could not escape a marquis. From this point of view, Jiang's family is getting bigger and bigger.
In addition to the willful and willful Jiang Chuyue, the Jiang family gave Chen Xu a very good impression. The first Qin Dynasty official he met after traveling over was Jiangbeiting. He looked gentle and kind on weekdays and was also an official who was down-to-earth in serving the people. Whether it was promoting threshing machines, kangs, farming methods, or using grain to exchange for good seeds, Chen Xu admired them very much, otherwise he would not spare any effort to help the Jiang family like this. If the Qin Dynasty were all officials like Jiangbeiting, the Qin Dynasty would probably develop very quickly.
Therefore, Jiangbeiting was able to restore his official position, which made Chen Xu feel extremely relaxed.
At least after this incident, Jiang's support for himself will be greater. In addition to the interests of the porcelain factory, he joined forces with the old hooligan Meng Yi, and Chen Xu felt that his position in the court should be much more stable.
Well, from this, it seems that marrying Meng Wan is really necessary. Meng Yi, the old fox, does not show off his rabbit, will probably be a little difficult to speak if he asks him for help next time, but if he becomes his father-in-law, hehe!
Chen Xu laughed like a weasel stealing chicken alone in the room.
Shui Qingrou came in with a bowl of beef bone soup that emitted the aroma of medicine. Hearing the terrifying laughter that Chen Xu had never heard before, his delicate body shook slightly and almost lost his mind.
Chen Xu quickly walked up and took the soup bowl from Shui Qingrou's hand and said, "Don't work hard when it's so late!"
Shui Qingrou's cheeks flushed in an instant: "Husband, this is beef bone soup specially made for you, it is said to nourish your health very well!"
"I'm in such a good health, why are you going to nourish me?" Chen Xu put the soup bowl on the table, tasted it with a spoon and frowned, "Why is it so hard to drink? Which kitchen worker made it?"
"Husband, don't say loudly, it's... it was made by my mother in the backyard, it took a full half day!" Shui Qingrou said in a low voice.
"Uh~" Chen Xu quickly sat down with a drooping eyebrows and started drinking the soup. The water sat gently and gently and gently watching.
The soup tastes not good, and I feel that there is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar except for beef bones and some traditional Chinese medicine. However, considering Chen Jiang's previous miserable life, there is no need to pray for too much about making soup, but at least as a mother, this is what she can do best.
Chen Xu quickly finished drinking a bowl of soup, and a slight sweat appeared on his forehead. After drinking it, he looked at the soft water on his cheeks, and his expression was shy and beautiful under the swaying candle. He suddenly felt a flame burning in his heart. He reached out to hold the soft hand of the water and said, "My wife, it's late at night, let's wash up and sleep early!"
Shui Qingrou's cheeks became redder, and her eyes were like spring water. She lowered her head and hummed softly and said, "The warm water and bathtub are ready, so I can gently serve my husband to wash up!"
"Hehe, bath together, be happy to take a bath together!"
A certain marquis couldn't wait to pull the water into the room next to him. Soon, a sensation of water was heard inside, and occasionally a few sounds of playing and playing, and then slowly turned into a breath of um and a gentle moan, spreading far away in the quiet night.
The two little maids hid in the corridor outside the room, covering their mouths and blushed their faces. After listening for a long time, they began to mumble.
"Wow, the Marquis is so awesome today!"
"Yes, yes, go and tell the Empress this news!"
