Awakened by the continuous sound of chickens crowing outside, Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes and saw the khaki roof above his head and smelled the damp smell of the quilt on his body. He sighed silently in his heart.

Chen Xing feels that no matter how long he has been here, he is still a little unsuited to the life here, not to mention that he has only three days to become Chen Xing here.

Yes, Chen Xing is not from here at all. He was originally from the Z country living in the 21st century, and he became one of the eight inheritors of the national cuisine of the Z country at a young age. It's a pity that when he took a plane to communicate with chefs from other countries, the plane encountered an emergency, which caused the plane to crash. He also changed from the original Chen Xing to the ancient 'Chen Xing'.

This Chen Xing was born to the head of the Chen family and the concubine of the mansion. Although he is also the son of Master Chen, his status in the mansion is no different from that of a servant.

The most depressing thing for Chen Xing is that he not only transmigrated into an ancient person, but also entered a dynasty he had never heard of, and the people here actually have three genders, male and female and brother. The first two are the same as in the previous life, only the last one has the appearance of a man, but is able to give birth.

If it weren't for this, Chen Xing felt that he would definitely be depressed to death.

"Chen Xing, are you up yet? Madam has been in a bad mood these two days, we have to go to work soon, otherwise it will be bad if you are caught by Madam's dog!"

Just as Chen Xing lamented for his situation and slowly got up, he heard someone calling him outside the door, he hurriedly answered, and hurriedly packed himself and walked out of the wood room, opened the door and saw the person waiting for him, Chen Xing smiled at him, "Let's go."

The brother who came to call Chen Xing is Zhou Guo, the third child of the housekeeper. Because of the housekeeper, he usually picks up some leisurely work. When Chen Xing first came, he helped him drive away a rogue. After that, Zhou Guo became enthusiastic about him, and liked to take Chen Xing with him in everything he liked.

The task of the two today is to clean the front yard.

Zhou Guo worked very neatly. After a while, he cleaned the area he was in charge of. Then he picked up the broom and came to Chen Xing, pulled his sleeve, and lowered his voice: " Chen Xing, look, it's the scholar from the Gu family, and he actually came to our house."

Listening to the excitement that could not be concealed in Zhou Guo's tone, Chen Xing raised his head and looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a thin back in a cyan scholar's uniform.

"It's a pity." Zhou Guo's voice sounded in Chen Xing's ear, and his tone was full of regret.

Chen Xing was a little confused when he heard this, and didn't understand what he was pity for, so he asked directly.

Zhou Guo glanced around and saw that there was no one else here besides them, so he approached Chen Xing's ear and said gossip: "You know that the scholar surnamed Gu and the Chen family What's the matter?"

Chen Xing shook his head.

Zhou Guo's eyes were full of gossip, and she excitedly said to Chen Xing: "The Gu family was originally a wealthy businessman, and the young master of the Gu family was a famous prodigy. Chen Jiazhang He and the Gu family are aristocratic family, and he just made a marriage with the Gu family.

.

A few years later, the county master did not know what mistake he made and was beheaded by the new emperor, and this young master Gu also came back. It's just that the child prodigy that everyone praised in the past has become a medicine jar. Without the support of Wanguan's family wealth, I don't know how long I can live. "

Zhou Guo shook her head regretfully, as if lamenting the tragic experience of the young master of the Gu family, "He came back this time, it is said to fulfill his engagement with the Chen family. But the people in the county Everyone thinks that he is a lone star, who can defeat his parents and his relatives. Now he is about to die, and he doesn't know what his wife will do. "

Chen Xing listened to Zhou Guo's words, and became a little curious about the man who just walked past, but this curiosity did not last long, after all, he was too busy to take care of himself now, and naturally he did not Extra thoughts to care about others.

In the main hall of Chen's house, Mrs. Chen sent Gu Lang away, and with a gloomy face, asked the servants to sprinkle grapefruit leaf water on the road he passed to avoid bad luck.

The fourth Miss Gu, who was hiding behind the screen and peeking just now, ran out and pulled her coquettishly: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Chen touched her daughter's smooth hair, and said gloomily, "Mother was thinking about the request made by the evil star just now."

Gu Lang's purpose of coming here is very clear. He has not forced the Chen family to marry his daughter. He only hopes that the Chen family can return the betrothal gift to him so that he can have money to buy medicine.

But the betrothal gift was given by the Gu family when they were rich and noble, and the sincerity was full of ten. Over the years, the Gu family has not seen a single person. The Chen family has long since died as the Gu family, and the dowry has been used by the Chen family as their own.

Now that Gu Lang came to ask for something, how could he give it, even if it was given, Mrs. Chen felt extra pain when she thought of spending such a large sum of money.

The fourth miss of the Chen family remembered the handsome face of Gu Lang she saw just now, and her heart swayed for a while, and whispered in Mrs. Chen's ear: "What is your mother trying to do?"

Mrs. Chen squeezed her handkerchief tightly, her face extremely ugly, "I would be a little reluctant to return so much money. It's just that the evil star still has the original Geng Tie in his hand, if he makes trouble Our Chen family can't afford to lose this person after the last riot, not to mention that your brother is about to take part in the imperial examination, so his reputation cannot be damaged."

Fourth Miss looked up at Mrs. Chen and asked with some doubts, "Is that mother going to marry him?"

Mrs. Chen frowned deeper, and said sarcastically, "How is it possible, you are the only daughter of the Chen family's age now, how could mother let you marry that short-lived ghost, he is too Think beautifully. I have to figure out how to keep the money without you having to suffer."

"Chen Xing, you can take this package of dim sum to the front hall later, be careful not to drop it."

Carefully placed the plate of delicate pastries on the table, and he was about to step back, who knew that Mrs. Chen stopped him at this moment, "Who, wait, carry Get up."

Chen Xing usually hides from the master of the mansion as soon as he can, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble for himself. Hearing Mrs. Chen's request at this time, her heart froze for a while, and she had a bad premonition, but she didn't dare to go against her intentions and raised her head to look in Mrs. Chen's direction.

After seeing Chen Xing's appearance clearly, Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking of something, her face turned cold again, she waved her hand and dismissed him impatiently go out.

Seeing this, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out carefully.

Mrs. Chen looked at his back, a deep thought gradually appeared in her eyes, and she muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, that wild species from the beginning would grow so big. "

Until Chen Xing's back was completely invisible, Mrs. Chen was still staring in his direction and thinking, as if she was making some bad ideas.

Chen Xing followed Zhou Guo for a busy day, and only had a moment to rest until it was dark.

"Chen Xing, sit down, there is meat to eat today!"

As soon as Chen Xing entered the kitchen, he heard the little girl who was washing the dishes yelling at him, telling him to sit down and eat quickly.

Chen Xing smiled at her, sat down and looked at the casually fried dishes on the table, and sighed again in her heart. As a person who likes heavy flavors, he really does not appreciate the light dishes here. However, he also knew that he was here, and he had no room to be picky, so he ate with the warm greetings of everyone.

Just when Chen Xing and the others were eating fragrant, a maid of about sixteen or seventeen years old suddenly entered the door, standing in front of the crowd and said arrogantly: "Is Chen Xing here? Madam wants to see him, come with me."

The person here is the maidservant next to Mrs. Chen. She usually works with Mrs. Chen. Compared with their rough servants, she is naturally superior. Therefore, when she spoke like this, no one else felt that there was something wrong, but they turned their heads to look at Chen Xing, who was sitting there eating silently.

Following their gaze, the maid also looked at Chen Xing. The moment she looked at Chen Xing's appearance, a flash of surprise flashed in the maid's eyes, and her delicate eyebrows were also twisted, dry. Baba said: "Since you are here, why don't you come with me quickly, do you still want the lady to wait for you?"

Listening to what she said, Chen Xing didn't dare to delay any longer, hurriedly swallowed the last bite of his meal, stood up hastily, and followed her to Mrs. Chen's place.

On the way, thinking of the way Mrs. Chen looked at him today, Chen Xing always had a bad premonition. This premonition was when he stepped into Mrs. Chen's territory and was stared at by Mrs. Chen for a moment. After a while, it finally came true.

Mrs. Chen slowly put down the tea in her hand, the tea saucer made a crisp sound on the table, she looked straight at Chen Xing, and said with kindness: "I haven't paid attention to it for a long time. You, I didn't expect you to be so old, and now it's time for you to get married. Just in time, I found a good marriage for you, you can choose a good date and get married. "

Chen Xing was shocked, looked up at her, and hurriedly said, "I don't want to get married yet." Damn, he doesn't want an arranged marriage!

Mrs. Chen sneered, looked at him sharply, and said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm discussing with you? You don't even think about what you are!"
