My enemies became my companions

Chapter 282 Husband
Putting away the Taoist strategy, Chen Yi was not in a hurry to look through it. He walked to the kitchen and started to prepare breakfast. Sometimes, he also felt that it would be better to hire a maid in the mansion. At least the male owner would not have to worry about preparing three meals a day, although Chen Yi also enjoyed it a little.

After the meal was ready, there was some noise in the bedroom and Yin and Yin woke up.

Xiao Yin took Da Yin to wash up, and after a while, they sat down at the dining table together. Xiao Yin put his hands on his knees and waited obediently, while Da Yin was a little nervous and pursed his lips.

In any case, the two girls sat at a table, and Chen Yi felt satisfied just by watching them.

Breakfast is millet porridge, served with hot rice cakes, and some fried bamboo shoots. These are all very easy to make dishes, and are breakfasts that ordinary families in the capital city of Dayu can afford. Chen Yi is now the Minister of Stopping Wars, so his salary is naturally not low, and his family is not short of money. He just doesn't hire maids or nannies, and he has never lived a rich life. The family's expenses are all very simple and casual.

When Xiao Yin first arrived, he was actually not very used to this kind of life at first, it was just fear that made him not dare to express dissatisfaction even though he was not used to it. And after waiting for almost a month, when he was no longer so scared, he had almost adapted to it and naturally had no complaints.

As for Da Yin, she was just like Xiao Yin when she first came, and for various reasons, she was much more uncomfortable than Xiao Yin. Chen Yi just glanced at her and she said nothing.

It should be noted that there are hundreds of slaves and maids in Prince Jing's mansion, and there are even more people in the kitchen. There is also a special small stove in each courtyard. What they eat at this time is breakfast, which is often exquisite and elegant. There will be steamed rice cakes and millet porridge, but they are never put together. In the palace, Yin Weiying, who has been practicing Taoism for many years, has low daily expenses, but a breakfast is always a portion of elegant food and a portion of coarse food. The so-called coarse food naturally refers to the rice cakes, millet porridge and the like in front of us. As for the elegant food, it is often crispy, cheese, or green glutinous rice porridge, jujube and yam cake, and rose stew.

Yin Weiying lowered her head and ate the millet porridge in front of her. Although the dish was ordinary, she was a cultivator after all, so she could adapt to it. She just didn't have much appetite. The little fox enjoyed it happily.

As for Zhou Yitong, she has been able to practice fasting for a long time, so among the three meals a day, she is usually only present at dinner. Her presence makes this yard feel more homely.

Chen Yi slowly drank the millet porridge in the bowl, and then casually flipped through the Taoist Strategy given by Zhou Yitang. There were many Taoist methods recorded in it. As he turned the pages, everything he saw gradually merged into his mind.

Yin Weiying ate the millet porridge bite by bite, and did not touch the steamed rice cake at all. She did eat a few slices of the fried winter bamboo shoots. She stayed in this yard all day yesterday. Xiao Yin heated up the dishes for her for lunch and dinner. Although the taste was good, it was just reheated dishes after all, so Yin Weiying did not eat very well. Now she had no appetite at all.

Out of boredom, she raised her eyes and saw the Dao Ce in Chen Yi's hand, and stared at it for a long time.

Noticing her gaze, Chen Yi looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yin Weiying hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to start a conversation with him. After all, the girl who was eating quietly was perceptive and said softly, "Sister Weiying is a Taoist priest, maybe she will be interested in reading your book."

"Really?" Chen Yi raised the Taoist strategy book.

Yin Weiying nodded slightly. She wanted to call him "husband" but couldn't say it out loud. She said, "I have seen this book. It is not a rare and authentic book."

"Oh?"

"Well... this book is quite common in the mountains. After all, cultivators are not martial artists, and these books are not martial arts secrets. It is common to copy and circulate books if it is not for the purpose of fighting and killing. Although this book is common, it is also obscure and difficult to understand..."

Yin Weiying's voice became a little difficult as he began to absorb her spiritual power. The fear in her heart became even stronger. However, after a long while, she still said:
"If you want, I can read it to you and explain it."

Chen Yi propped up his chin and looked at the nun for a while. The latter was nervous but pretended to be calm so that he would not suspect something was wrong.

"Okay, I'll let you read it." Chen Yi said.

Yin Weiying raised his eyes slightly, and a flash of light flashed across them.

Chen Yi added: "Let me say this in advance. If you recite it, I will still take essence from you."

Yin Weiying's eyes dimmed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, did Chen Yi really need her to recite it? He obviously had the ability of clairvoyance, so even if she didn't recite it, he would still understand it. He just gave the two of them a chance to ease their relationship. Yin Weiying still understood these principles to some extent.

After all, she had really hurt him in this life and put him to death several times. It was impossible for her to ignore such a grudge. She should perhaps be grateful that she was given a chance like this.

Chen Yi was flipping through the Dao Ce and happened to see the place in the square, so he said:

"When you return to the palace, find me a square plot of land."

When Yin Weiying heard this, he didn't take it seriously at first, but after he calmed down a little, he was a little surprised.

He wants her to give him a gift?

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and asked:

"What, you're not happy?"

"I am happy to do so. It is my duty." Yin Weiying regained his usual tone and said, "It is just a piece of land."

As she spoke, she moved the square jade pendant on her waist. It was engraved with a phoenix and had her character "Luan Huang" printed on it.

Looking at this scene, Chen Yi couldn't help laughing, picked up the bowl in front of him, and drank the millet porridge in it.

After finishing breakfast, Yin Weiying also wanted to go back.

When she was about to leave, she stood by the door for a long time but never crossed the threshold.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, walked over, and said softly:

"Since you gave me the land later, no matter what happens in the future, in the eyes of outsiders, you will still be the Goddess of Taihua."

The nun was surprised, and looked at him sideways for a long while. She nodded slightly, turned around and no longer looked at him, and then her lips finally moved slightly, and she said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Then from now on, in private, I will call you...husband."

The words were barely audible, and she was gone.

Chen Yi heard it clearly and watched Yin Weiying gradually disappear from his sight.

Chen Yi turned around and walked slowly to Yin Tingxue's side. When the little fox saw him coming, he spoke well of the nun:

"Sister Wei Ying is a very nice person..."

Chen Yi found it a little ridiculous and said:
"I wonder if she's okay?"

Yin Tingxue also felt a little guilty, so she added:
"It's getting better now. People will change."

Chen Yi did not comment and sat on the chair next to Yin Tingxue.

He was thinking about his plans after the New Year.

The New Year must naturally be celebrated in the capital, but it is hard to say what will happen this year. By now, Miss Donggong must have been controlled by Jingren Palace, waiting for an imperial decree to grant her marriage.

Chen Yi didn't know whether this marriage would be concluded or not...

If she gets married, she will be in trouble with Jingren Palace. If she doesn't get married, she will almost lose the rest of her face, and it will be difficult to explain to Miss Donggong.

Chen Yi couldn't think of a perfect solution, but he had to leave Beijing before the world fell into chaos.

As for Yin Tingxue and the other women he cared about, what should he do...

Chen Yi turned his head and looked at Yin Tingxue and said:
"Little fox, do you want to go to Yinjian Mountain?"

Yin Tingxue was stunned for a moment, and heard something from these words. She frowned and thought for a long time.

Chen Yi had never deliberately concealed from her the fact that he wanted to leave Beijing.

Yin Tingxue whispered:

"I'm a little reluctant to leave Yintai Temple, but if you want to go, then go ahead, but you have to take good care of Yintai Temple..."

Chen Yi heard it all. The girl knew that the temple had become an empty shell, but she still couldn't stop thinking about it. He felt pity for her and said:
"I will try my best to keep it. Even if she wants me to go to Jingren Palace and let her adopt him as her godson, I want her to give it to us."

The worry on Yin Tingxue's brow disappeared and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Yi turned his gaze outside the house and waited patiently for Min Ning to come over.

She said yesterday that she would give it to him tomorrow.

...........................

Chen Yi sat in the hall the whole day, studying Taoism and waiting for Min Ning. In the afternoon, he could not help but go back to the study, and come out to take a look from time to time.

But Captain Min never showed up.

Until the evening curfew, there was still no sign of Min Ning. Chen Yi was puzzled and went to visit Min Mansion in person. Min Ming received him and told him that Min Ning had fallen asleep.

On the way back to the yard, Chen Yi felt a little lonely.

After being tricked like this, I was angry but not too angry. It is common for boyfriends and girlfriends to have some minor disagreements, not to mention that this was not even a minor disagreement.

When Chen Yi returned home and lay on the bed holding Yin Tingxue, his mood had calmed down. He couldn't help but wonder if Min Ning would come over tomorrow.

Min Ning still didn't come.

Chen Yi inexplicably felt like a clown being pointed at and laughed at yesterday.

It was the first time that he realized what it felt like to be hung. You know, in the past, he was the only one who hung Min Ning.

Three or four days passed in a row, and Chen Yi basically stayed at home. Occasionally, he would go to Zhigesi to see Luo Nanwu and take care of some chores. Yin Tingxue's menstruation was over, and it was the time for her to get pregnant. In order to avoid complications, even if Chen Yi bullied her, he would only do so briefly. The little fox did not expose this matter, for she was afraid that if she did, Chen Yi would rebel and become cruel.

And today,
There is something going on in Zhigesi.

Originally, he just wanted to show up at Zhigesi as usual, handle some chores and then return to the yard. However, as soon as he stepped through the gate of Zhigesi today, he saw a unfamiliar face.

This man had a head full of white hair, a tall and thin figure, and sharp facial features. It was not difficult to imagine how sharp his eyebrows and eyes were when he was young. He sat upright on the guest seat of Zhige Division, with a long spear wrapped in cloth placed on his thigh. He sat steadily, like a mountain.

"Chen Sicheng, there is work to do this time."
