1 Solstice(1/2)
winter solstice.
In Jinling City, the cold wind whistles and heavy snow.
A shabby old ox cart carrying firewood drove out from the back door of Pingwang Mansion in Wanghou Lane. The wooden frame wheels "crunched" against the snow and headed towards Changle Street in the south of the city.
An old friend from the firewood room, Mr. Zhang, was driving an old ox cart and walked slowly, but the body of the car was shaking violently.
In a short while, a young man in his twenties and a childish girl in his 16-year-old wearing a sable fur and a childish girl in a sable fur came out of the straw pile of old ox carts.
"I finally escaped!"
Chu Tianxiu looked nervously in the direction of the royal palace and found that there were no guards from the Prince Ping's Mansion chasing him, so he relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, this matter is a bit frustrating.
Last night, he found himself traveling through time.
He became the little marquis of the "Huanghou Mansion" of the Great Chu Dynasty and the head of the four famous playboys in the Jinling Imperial City. People in the world call him "Little Huanghou" in awe.
He didn't know how awesome the four major playboys in Jinling were.
But since I have traveled through time and became an ancient little marquis, I always have to enjoy the extravagant life of the wealthy and powerful children of the feudal dynasty!
But before he could be happy, he immediately discovered that his situation was in a difficult situation.
His father, Lao Hun Hou Chuyong, borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from King Ping Li Rong, and did not pay the huge debt without the money, so he wanted to rely on it and not pay it back. The Prince Ping's Mansion was naturally furious and wanted to collect the debt.
The two families started to argue.
The debt lawsuit of the Hunhou Mansion Heping Prince's Mansion was not afraid to take care of it, and sued it in the palace.
Emperor Xiang Yanran was busy with government affairs, and seeing that these two princes and princes were having a headache about collecting debts.
At this time, I don’t know which evil spirit was, so I came up with a bad idea of “let the Hunhou Mansion pay off the debt with his son.”
When the emperor heard that this idea was good, he immediately issued an imperial edict, ordering Xiaohunhou Chu Tianxiu to marry into the Princess Ping's Mansion to pay for the huge debt of 100,000 taels of silver for the princess Li Yu, and to close the debt case in a sloppy manner!
Xiao Hunhou was cheated so he naturally refused to agree to be a son-in-law when he was in the house and stayed in the Hunhou's mansion and refused to leave.
This old man Chu Yong was really cruel. He knocked his son out with a stick and sent him to Prince Ping's Mansion to force him to marry Princess Li Yu.
It was at this time.
He, Chu Tianxiu, traveled through time, replaced the little humble marquis who was knocked unconscious, and became a sad and unlucky son-in-law.
This is the beginning of his unlucky fortune.
What good face can the people from the Prince Ping’s Mansion give him this son-in-law?
From the second wife to the chief executive, the manager, the servant, they were all polite to him, with cold eyes, as if he had owed the royal family 100,000 taels of silver.
Chu Tianxiu was already arrogant and was cold-eyed in Prince Ping's Mansion and was unhappy.
What's even more depressed is that this princess Li Yu was actually very arrogant and dared to claim that "a woman sings with her husband". Even when walking, he had to follow her obediently. Seeing her proud peacock and happy to be proud of her butt.
Can you bear this?
In anger, Chu Tianxiu kidnapped Zuer, the little girl sent by the princess to serve her. Zuer found an acquaintance from the royal mansion and snatched out of the Pingwang Mansion with a ox cart carrying straw.
He wanted to escape back to the Hunhou Mansion, scolded the old Hunhou, and then found a way to ask the emperor to change the imperial edict and take his marquis back.
I am a young husband who has inherited the inheritance. He is only in his twenties and has not yet begun to enjoy the life of a powerful man for most of his life. Why should I sell myself to become a son-in-law in the Pingwang Mansion and be an angry person?
"Don't worry, son-in-law, Mr. Zhang is very careful in doing things. The guards of the royal palace must have not noticed that we had escaped secretly."
Joo was also a little worried, afraid of being caught back.
"Zu'er, you have made great contributions to escape this time. I will make you a hot pot with my son-in-law and reward you!"
Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but rub her beautiful little nose, and praised her greatly.
Zuer is a foodie, and he is not smart, and he is so loyal and easy to fool.
Regardless of whether he was married or not, he planned to accept her as a concubine.
"Thank you...sister-in-law! As long as it is made by your son-in-law, it will definitely be delicious. Are we going back to the Hunhou Mansion now?!"
Zuer suddenly blushed and full of joy.
She is different from other servants in the royal palace.
The princess once said that after the son-in-law came to the house, she was the son-in-law's maid, and she followed the little concubine who was dowed with her.
In the future, she was born as a son-in-law and died as a son-in-law's ghost.
Whatever the son-in-law said is what he said.
Use her iron fist to defend my son-in-law to the death!
So, even if the son-in-law wants to sneak out of the prince's mansion and return to the Hunhou Mansion, she will still help with all her strength.
Although my son-in-law is very strange, he always says something strange.
She couldn't understand anything like Mandarin duck hotpot. But since it was "Mandarin duck"... I think it was something that makes people think about it and shy.
"Haha~, it's so cold!"
Chu Tianxiu didn't know what Zuer was thinking in her little head.
His delicate face was exposed outside the straw pile of ox carts. When the biting cold wind blew, his nose was red and his body shivered.
This damn ghost weather.
Today seems to be the winter solstice, and it is almost the coldest time of the year, and the cold bones are trembling.
He ran in a hurry and didn't have much preparation.
But it doesn’t matter. The Hunhou Mansion is close to Wanghou Lane in Jinling City. One is at the end of the alley and the other is at the end of the alley.
"Zu'er, let's go back to the Hunhou Mansion!!"
Chu Tianxiu drank and rubbed his hands to drive away the cold air.
His little marquis' bed is big and warm, so he can go back tonight and have a good sleep.
Tomorrow, he was full of energy and went to the palace to cry and complain, and wanted to persuade the emperor to change the imperial edict, leave a "marriage" and delete the word "marriage".
He had a perfect set of rhetoric and was ready.
The imperial edict gave marriage, and the marquis' son came to marry into the house, which was a foolish thing that had never been seen before.
This move will definitely attract protests from the ministers of the court, and the people's slandered, and the scholars were shocked and angry. Please take back your majesty!
In fact, he has a better idea to resolve the debt lawsuit between the two companies.
Wouldn't it be enough to let Princess Li Yu marry this marquis directly? That huge debt of 100,000 taels is used as the princess's dowry, right? The debt is written off!
The Marquis' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion have been a family since then.
Perfect!
pretty!
After hearing his more clever idea, the emperor would definitely be moved and slightly changed the imperial edict.
As for that shitty person who came to marry into the house! If Chu Tianxiu knew who gave the emperor a bad idea, he would definitely have to peel off this guy's skin.
The old ox cart walked slowly "crunched" and finally arrived at the gate of the Hunhou Mansion.
"Uncle Zhang, I'm here, thank you. Zuer, get off the bus!"
"Okay."
Zuer quickly turned over and got off the firewood and ox cart with Chu Tianxiu.
...
Pingwang Mansion.
The back door is closed.
Two deep marks of ox carts were left in the snow.
An 18-year-old beautiful girl with red lips and white teeth and bright facial features on her cheeks. She was wearing a luxurious sable coat with sable fur, wearing a sword, and standing alone at the back door, looking at the worn-out ox cart away.
She seemed to expect the ox cart to turn back... As long as she turned around, she would forgive Xiaohunhou for escaping from Qiao's family this time and let her down.
But to her disappointment, the bull cart seemed to have an extremely stubborn temper, and it had a momentum that would never return once it was gone.
snort!
Spicy!
Isn’t it just that they were visiting the royal palace garden ambiguously together, she accidentally said, “Since your husband comes to the door, you should regard your wife as your respect, please walk behind me”!
Then he became furious like an angry cock.
He is petty and has no tolerance like a man.
The beautiful girl showed a hint of shame and anger on her face, and she stomped her feet in anger. Of course, there was a hint of regret... Maybe she shouldn't have spoken so heavily before!
For a young girl who is eighteen years old, she is already very mature physically and mentally.
Since she became sensible, she knew that her marriage was destined to be a political marriage.
To be continued...
