2 Hou Houfu
dusk.
A thin and pretty young man figure and a pretty girl jumped out of the ox cart and arrived in front of the Hunhou Mansion.
The four-character "Chu Hunhou" on the plaque of the gate of the Hunhou Mansion is gilded and inlaid, making it so bold. The copper gate is calm and thick, demonstrating the majestic foundation of the Hunhou Mansion as a thousand-year-old king.
On both sides of the door are two huge Pixiu stone carvings to protect the house, which is more grand than the Pingwang Mansion.
Chu Tianxiu stood in the snow under the stone steps, looking at the plaque in the Hunhou Mansion, with complex thoughts and anger.
This is the Hunhou Mansion, the home he has traveled through for two thousand years.
Why is Lao Hunhou so cruel? He knocked his own son out with a stick and forced his only son to go to the Pingwang Mansion to be the son-in-law, and was full of anger?
He is finally back.
If Lao Hunhou doesn’t give him an explanation, this matter is not over!
Chu Tianxiu knocked on the thick copper door with anger.
"Who!"
"I, Xiu'er! I'm back!"
"Oh, Xiu'er~! Why are you back? Our Hunhou Mansion has lost the family. Dad sends you to the Pingwang Mansion. The warehouse is full of money and grain, which is enough for you to eat and drink for the rest of your life. Why are you wasting your efforts and running back overnight?!"
A panic-shaking voice rang out in the Hunhou Mansion.
"Open the door!"
"Okay~, let's discuss it first. You can't hit Daddy in the head. There is a god who raises his head three feet! Hitting Daddy will be struck by a thunderbolt!"
"Don't talk nonsense, open the door quickly! Believe it or not, I smash the door!"
"well!"
The gate of the Hou Mansion opened suddenly.
I saw a fat old marquis wearing a bear fur coat running out with his fat body tremblingly, and hurriedly gave Chu Tianxiu a solid bear hug.
"Son, I haven't seen you for a day, so I miss you so much! How does King Ping treat you, your son-in-law? Just tell me. If he treats you badly, Dad will scold him."
The old marquis was flushed, covered in bearskin and silk, with a precious jade ring in his hand, and a precious dragon-patterned jade pendant hanging around his waist. He was full of luxurious things on his body, and he was obviously a wealthy man.
He said he had no money, ghost trust?
He is Chu Yong, the father of the little Hunhou Chu Tianxiu, the lord of the Hunhou Mansion, and the fifth generation of Hunhou.
Chu Tianxiu looked carefully at Lao Hunhou's face full of joy.
No pain!
There is no deep regret, let alone guilt and deep guilt.
There is nothing.
Chu Tianxiu was very disappointed.
It was this shameless old guy who forced himself to go to the royal palace to be a son-in-law to pay off his debts.
"Son, why don't you say anything? King Ping didn't treat you badly? Look at you who are so white and have a rosy complexion. You must have been back after eating! Dad won't leave you for dinner. There are no candles at home at night, so you can go back to Prince Ping's Mansion to stay in the evening."
Lao Hunhou seemed a little guilty.
Xiao Hunhou's favorite large bed of the South China Sea Huanghuali Yilong Yu Jiufeng Arhat was sold by him and exchanged it for several thousand taels of silver as money for meals.
If his son wants to go home to sleep, he will definitely be discovered. Wouldn't he be beaten up with anger?
"Dad, do you know your mistake?"
Chu Tianxiu said seriously.
"I know my mistake? What's wrong with my father?"
The old Hunhou was surprised and nervous.
Chu Tianxiu was furious and pointed at Lao Hunhou and said, "You knocked me out and gave it to King Ping as a son-in-law, and cut off the incense of our Chu Marquis's family. Are you still wrong?"
Lao Hunhou Chu Yong was even more shocked and aggrieved: "Xiu'er, you forced your father to borrow 100,000 taels of silver from King Ping! Afterwards, we were two of us, and we were three or seven, and we took the money and each of us was free.
I was originally thinking that the royal family would ask for debts, but we kept relying on it and not paying it back. Anyway, our family couldn't find any money. But I didn't expect that the emperor believed in slander and his mind was in a hurry. The imperial edict gave you the royal family to marry into the royal family to pay off the debts.
Dad dares not listen to the emperor's imperial edict? I have to do this if I knock you out. Can I blame me?!"
"I force you to borrow money?"
Chu Tianxiu suddenly became even more choked.
He also distributed 70,000 taels of silver. Why didn’t he remember where this large amount of silver went?
He was a little confused!
So, is it the "Little Hunhou" who is trying to die?!
He just came over yesterday and did not get all the memories of "Little Hunhou".
He remembers all the things that are unrestrained and happy to enjoy. However, some bad memories that are responsible and unwilling to think about are blurred and seem to be completely forgotten.
Could this be the legendary...selective amnesia of the powerful and powerful?
Lao Hun Hou Chu Yong complained, and suddenly found that Chu Tianxiu was confused, as if she had forgotten the fact that he forced his father to borrow money from Prince Ping's Mansion.
Chu Yong immediately figured it out, slapped his thigh and wailed, "Oh, Xiu'er! It's not that my father was too heavy to beat you up with a blow, right? Dad, I'm sorry for you, hurry up and ask King Ping to go to the palace to hire an imperial physician and cure you!"
"It's okay, just selective amnesia, a small matter!"
Chu Tianxiu waved his hand in dismay, "Dad, let's talk about something serious.
The matter of marriage into the family is too serious... I am the only one in the Hunhou Mansion. I am a son-in-law. Isn’t the thousand-year-old incense that our Hunhou Mansion has been passed down from Chu State to the present?!
Dad, you didn’t think about this serious problem before you hit me and sent it to the Pingwang Mansion?!”
"Dad, I have someone to inherit the incense. Isn't it just you, Xiaohunhou? After my father, I died, a son named Chu sent me off. Dad is worthy of his ancestors."
The old Hun Hou Chu Yong was very surprised and glared and said angrily: "You have married into the Pingwang Mansion. From now on, the descendants of the descendants will all have their surname Li, and they will cut off the incense of our Chu family. When they die, they will all be named Li to attend you with funerals.
You are an unworthy descendant and a scum of the Chu family, you should reflect on this serious problem yourself! What's wrong with me, Daddy?"
"you...!"
Chu Tianxiu's eyes widened.
What is the magical logic of this great weirdo Lao Hunhou?
He was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute it.
When they were both angry and ready to scold each other.
But I saw a group of strong men running from the Wanghou Lane.
Leading by a rich man in his fifties and sixties in a thick jacket, he ran to the gate of the Hunhou Mansion with dozens of servants holding sticks and facing the wind and snow.
When Zuer saw that the group of people was in a wrong position, he immediately alertly protected his son-in-law. He held a pair of small iron fists like a tiger, staring at the group of servants who suddenly rushed over.
"Old Hunhou, Xiao Hunhou, you two are not old thieves of the world! You borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the Prince Ping's Mansion and used your son to pay off the debt. But why didn't you pay back the 100,000 taels of silver from the Shen Mansion?
Is it easy to bully my Shen family? I must treat everyone equally! Either don’t pay back or you will pay back together. If you pay back the King of Ping, you will have to pay back the amount of my Shen family. No word can be missed!"
The rich man saw that the old Hun Hou Chu Yong and Chu Tianxiu were at the door of the house, and rushed forward and scolded him angrily.
"Shen Dafu, you are so confused, I don't have two sons! Do you want my Xiu'er to marry into your Shen Mansion and go to the Ping Mansion to snatch it away. What does it mean to come to my Hun Hou's Mansion to cause trouble?"
Lao Hunhou Chu Yong was also annoyed.
Chu Tianxiu looked at the rich man who was in confusion and came to collect debts with a large number of servants. He vaguely felt that the rich man who took the lead had some impression.
Who is this rich man?
But my memory is vague and I can't remember who it is.
Forget it, it's probably an unknown person, so I don't care.
According to the local rich man, in addition to the 100,000 taels of Pingwang Mansion, the Hunhou Mansion also owed a large debt to the local rich man's family.
He was a little worried.
Tomorrow he was going to the palace to cry and persuade the emperor to change the imperial edict and let Li Yu marry into the Hunhou Mansion. But just by solving the debt of the Pingwang Mansion, the Shen family's debt seems to be unable to be solved!
"I have a loan note written by Xiao Hunhou in my hand! 'The Hunhou Mansion borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the Chen Mansion, and a monthly profit of one cent.'. If I don't pay back the money tonight, I will go to the palace tomorrow and sue the emperor!"
The rich man held a roll of vermilion bamboo slips in his hand and shouted angrily.
The old man Chu Yong's face was thicker than a wall, and his face was full of disdain, "I'll sue you. I owed 100,000 taels on the loan note, but I didn't write it when I paid it back. Look at you, you are so stingy, you have borrowed such a little money and come to collect debts every day. You are too narrow-minded!"
"Is it easy for me to earn money by myself as a businessman? I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so shameless people. If you borrow money and don't pay it back, you still have the face to brag and show off. Is there any law in this world?"
The rich man was almost stunned and waved his hand to a group of servants, "They all blocked the door of Hunhou and scolded me, regardless of the morning and night, and cursed until Hunhou's mansion paid back the money!"
