Even Chen Xi, who had experienced the explosion of knowledge, was not immune to the vulgarity. He was full of curiosity about the few women who had left their names in history in this era.

Except for the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai in the late Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for women to leave their names in history at other times. Ma Ang was not an important figure in history at all. It was just because he gave his sister and concubine to Zhu Houzhao that he was recorded as a slander in history books as a slander.

However, no matter how unbearable Zhu Houzhao and Ma Ang were, they had nothing to do with the woman who was the victim.

Accompanied by Yunliu and Fatty Zhou, Chen Xi walked out of the courtyard and came to the door. He saw a green sedan chair parked by the street. In addition to the sedan chairman, there were two mediocre maids.

"Sir, the woman is in the sedan chair. Do you go over and check it out in person?"

Fatty Zhou seemed very enthusiastic. He thought that being able to give women to the Minister of War was a very proud thing. He sincerely hoped that the matter could be done, so that he could quickly bring his relationship with Chen Xi closer, and he could also express his merits to Ma Ang and maximize his interests.

Chen Xi glanced at the sedan chair, thought for a while and ordered Fatty Zhou, "Pick the person inside, you can go back."

"Sir, you... decide to leave the person behind? Hey, the villain has made a mistake. Sir, just check it with confidence. If you are not satisfied, the villain will send the person away." Fatty Zhou was very conscious and took the initiative to take responsibility.

Chen Xi said before that he would keep people if he could like him, but after all, this woman was just a "gift" he gave to Chen Xi on behalf of others. Whether to collect it is Chen Xi's power. Even if the gift is "opened" and then sent away, no one dared to say anything.

Fatty Zhou thought to himself: "Brother Ma asked me to send someone here. I have done my best to be kind and righteous. As for the follow-up, it has nothing to do with me... I don't know how his sister looks, but even if she really has the appearance of a sank fish and a shaming look, being able to follow Lord Shen is a blessing she has cultivated for eight lifetimes."

Thinking of this, Fatty Zhou left with satisfaction.

Chen Xi turned around and returned to the tea room where he had met before. Yun Liu arranged for someone to take the woman into the yard and then walked into the room. Chen Xi turned his back to the door and looked up at the empty wall in front of him. He seemed to be worried and couldn't help but be stunned.

"What, do you think I shouldn't keep this woman?"

Although Chen Xi didn't look back at Yunliu, he knew the other party's true thoughts.

Yun Liu said: "I just think... the adults' reaction today is a bit unusual. Logically speaking, adults are most disgusted with others accepting bribes. They should be disdainful of such an unknown woman."

Chen Xi sighed: "Don't take me too high... In fact, I am also a man with strong spirits and desires. I will not deliberately erase my nature and pretend to be a saint. Is it rare to have more women with wine, sex, wealth and spirit. With my current identity and status, is it rare to have more women?"

Yun Liu shook his head: "Adults want women everywhere. Such a woman of unknown origin should not be attracted to the eyes of adults... Besides, aren't adults most disgusted with treating people as gifts and giving them privately? Is it because of this woman...what special about it?"

Yunliu and Chen Xi were not there for a day or two. From Chen Xi's subtle reactions, she judged that the woman's identity was unusual. Otherwise, Chen Xi would never lose her composure and went out to see her. She also decided to leave the person without seeing her with her own eyes.

Chen Xi looked back at Yunliu. Yunliu felt a little nervous and unconsciously lowered her head.

Chen Xi said: "You have been with me for a while and you should know my personality very well. Some things are as you expected. No matter how beautiful this woman is, I will not care about it. The key is that behind her... I can't explain some things to you. If you arrange the person, I will meet you later."

Although Yunliu didn't understand why Chen Xi did this, she thought it should be related to the woman's brother Ma Ang.

She wondered: "Ma Ang has never heard of this person before. What does Anhua Wang Mu Ni have to do with such a young pawn? Why is he so cautious when he sends a sister over?"

With a stomach full of confusion, Yun Liu continued to make arrangements as he said.

...

...

The person took him into the yard and moved into the west wing. Yunliu arranged everything and came to return to Chenxi. Chenxi seemed to be full of curiosity and did not want to wait for a moment. She accompanied Yunliu to the gate of the west wing.

Yunliu really wanted to see Chen Xi's reaction after entering... She was not jealous of Chen Xi's intimacy with other women, but wanted to know what special things about this woman that could make Chen Xi change color.

But Chen Xi did not give her a chance, stood at the door and waved her hand, saying, "You guys go back."

In addition to Yun Liu, the maid who came in and guarded the gate of the yard with the sedan chair.

Yunliu left with her maid, leaving only Chenxi and Ma's daughter alone.

Chen Xi gently pushed open the door, and with a "squeak", the cold wind poured in, and the gauze drifted, as if scaring the woman inside.

A woman wearing a light pink gauze dress with a graceful body and an elegant posture suddenly looked back and just ran into Chen Xi's sight.

Chen Xi looked at the woman in front of him with oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows. His first impression was not very amazing. After looking closely, he found that the woman had an indescribable charm. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she had a charming charm.

When the woman saw Chen Xi, she lowered her head, moved her lotus steps lightly, and hid behind the screen... She didn't know who the man in front of her was, but she knew her mission to get here.

Chen Xi and the woman looked at each other for a short time, but they knew it in their hearts: "No wonder this woman could have successfully attracted Zhu Houzhao in history. Beauty is second. The key is the charming attitude hidden in her body. Even I, who was used to seeing the faces of internet celebrities in my previous life, couldn't help but be moved!"

Chen Xi stepped into the house and went straight to the screen. The woman hiding behind had no way to retreat. She bowed to Chen Xi without saying a word.

Chen Xi didn't know whether the woman knew her identity, so he asked tentatively: "Did you send it here to voluntarily? Or did your brother force it?"

“Is there any difference between the two?”

The woman asked back, shook her head and smiled sadly, and then said: "The little woman came to ask Lord Shen, the Ministry of War for a matter of Lord Shen, on her brother's entrustment. In addition... Her brother gave the little woman to Lord Shen as a maid. I wonder where Lord Shen is now?"

The woman didn't know Chen Xi. With her knowledge, she didn't think that the ordinary young man in front of her was Chen Xi, the powerful Minister of War in the court.

Of course, all this is based on her mindset of "noble people can't be seen". I would not have thought that Chen Xi would be condescending to be noble and "give her to see her" on the first day of her arrival.

Chen Xi carried his hands on his back and smiled: "I am Chen Xi."

The woman showed a look of astonishment on her face, and then knelt down and kowtowed: "The folk girl has met Lord Shen."

Chen Xi changed from the woman's expression and could not tell whether her reaction just now was a disguise.

Chen Xi’s idea is quite complicated. Maybe the woman saw that her identity was deliberately not told, but only then did she pretend to be respectful after she took the initiative to reveal her identity.

"It may not be possible if someone else has changed, but the woman in front of me is a famous woman who has left her name in history." Chen Xi said in his heart.

"Get up and sit down. There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be polite." Chen Xidao.

The woman stood up, but she didn't dare to sit down, and was silent.

...

...

Chen Xi found a chair to sit down. The woman looked nervous and became more and more at a loss.

As a gift, after seeing Chen Xi, she naturally understood what would happen. Now, no matter what Chen Xi does, it is natural.

As she thought, ordinary men could not help it, but Chen Xi seemed like a humble gentleman. After coming in, he just looked at her and did not show any rush.

When Chen Xi stared at him, the woman lowered her head and lost her courage to speak.

Chen Xi said: "Is your brother named Ma Ang? Are you brothers and sisters?"

"yes."

The woman's reply was not as bold as before, and she was a little timid.

Chen Xi nodded and asked again: "How old are you?"

"Seventeen." The woman replied.

"Can you betroth someone?" Chen Xi asked.

The woman looked up at Chen Xi and then shook her head, "Never."

Chen Xi's face looked a little unhappy: "Is that true?"

The woman was a little scared and replied: "The elder brother intended to send me to the commander-in-chief of Minzhou, but the elder brother lost his official position and had to come to the capital to meet the opportunity, so he gave up the matter."

"oh."

Chen Xi was relieved.

In history, Ma Ang's sister was Bi Chun's woman who was the commander of Ningxia Guard. As for whether she was a wife or a concubine, it was not recorded in Ming Dynasty. However, Chen Xi could understand after thinking about it for a moment that Ma Ang is just a middle and lower-level officer now, and it is basically impossible for her sister to marry the commander of the guard to become a wife.

Chen Xi sat on the chair and waved his hand: "Sit."

The woman stood there, looking a little hesitant, not knowing where she should sit.

There is a bed to sit on, but the implication is too obvious when you sit on it. As long as Chen Xi is not Liu Xiahui, you should go there. If she sits on a chair, she asks herself that she is not qualified to sit against Chen Xi, even if her brother sees Chen Xi, she can only kneel down. How could she be on par with a high-ranking official like the Minister of War?

After thinking about it, she felt that she could only sit on Chen Xi's lap, which just showed that she was a gift for Chen Xi, and expressed her sincerity, and gained bargaining chips for her brother's re-official reinstatement.

Of course, the main reason is that if she is not a little more proactive and Chen Xi is not interested in choosing to leave, then the things arranged by her brother before would be invalid.

In this way, the woman walked directly to Chenxi and pretended to snuggle into Chenxi's arms.

Chen Xi frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

The woman was questioned by Chen Xi and her pink face turned red.

The woman took the initiative to sit in the man's arms and expressed her feelings, but was questioned by the man, which made her very embarrassed. However, what she was more worried about was that the errands entrusted by her brother could not complete.

"Little woman..."

The woman was shy and talked hesitantly, and her mind was filled with mud.

Chen Xidao: "I asked you to sit on the stool opposite me and I want to ask you if you have something to do."

The woman looked embarrassed and quickly turned around to hide her embarrassment. She was very puzzled. She was just a little girl, and her brother was just a little officer before, so he had no choice but to be with this Lord Shen. Why did he care so much about his family affairs?

The woman finally sat down, perhaps because her heart was filled with uneasiness, and the question of whether Chen Xi could be on par with her was thrown out of the blue.

Chen Xi looked at the woman who bowed her head and asked, "Your brother is in the capital, and I will give you to me for the purpose of restoring you, and even hope that I will be respected and gaining a high reputation, right? Why did he tell you, please tell me in the original form."

Faced with a big man as strong as Chen Xi, the woman was very nervous, but unfortunately, she couldn't answer any of her brother's questions.

In this era, women are vassals, and men rarely discuss countermeasures with women. After all, she is just a gift given to Chen Xi by her brother. As for what Ma Ang’s purpose is, Fatty Zhou has already made it clear that the woman who does not need to use as a bargaining chip to explain it.

"Why don't you answer?"

Chen Xi frowned when he saw that the woman had not responded for a long time.

The woman was extremely timid and didn't know how to answer. After a while, she stammered and said, "The little woman doesn't understand what Lord Shen said."

"oh."

Chen Xi nodded, which was completely different from the history he learned.
