When Chu Ling and his party arrived at Huating, there should have been soldiers coming out to greet them, but I wonder if the county lord of Huating was still angry. This time, no one came to greet them when they arrived.
I was scared to death at the Spring Equinox, but when I saw this situation, I became even more uneasy and almost had the urge to run away.
"Don't worry, mother is hard-spoken and soft-hearted," Chu Ling comforted her at the right moment.
Shi Chunfen nodded slightly, knowing that at this time, running was impossible, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get off the carriage with Chu Ling.
Different from the exquisite elegance of the Chu family, the main residence of Huating County looks much more grand. After all, it is the son and daughter of the royal family. Every brick, every plant, every tree, everything is the best. With such a lavish style, no one can
Anyone who has seen it knows that the people in the mansion are either rich or noble.
Shi Chunfen was used to living in the Chu family, so she was a little uncomfortable seeing such ostentatious decorations, especially the gold-plated pillars, which almost blinded her eyes. However, Yu Atu and others liked it.
Quite, after all, this seems even more shocking to ordinary people.
Chu Ling didn't really like his mother's style, but it was obvious that he couldn't change it for a while, so he had no choice but to smile helplessly at Shi Chunfen, "How is it? Is it okay?"
Shi Chunfen reluctantly nodded, but felt a little frustrated in her heart. They say that one can tell the whole story by looking at one spot. Just by looking at the decorations on the Huating County Lord's mansion, she knew that he liked his daughter-in-law who came from a good family. For someone as poor as her, she was afraid that she would do something wrong.
No matter how good you are, you will never win the favor of the other party.
While the two were talking, the head of Huating County finally accepted the notification, but he was late.
The real name of Huating County Lord is Chen Shangqing. She is the biological sister of the emperor's mother. It is said that the emperor loves her very much. When she was a child, he personally carried her to school and visited the imperial garden. After he came to the throne, he even gave her the right to recruit soldiers, so that
She is a woman who can also have her own support.
It stands to reason that such a woman who is favored by thousands of people should marry a powerful man, but she chose a businessman, which caused quite a stir in the entire Liuzhou. Later, Shi Chunfen found out that it turned out that
It was Chu Yan who saved the life of the head of Huating County.
The story is very old-fashioned. The princess of Huating County has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she likes riding and shooting. One day while hunting in the mountains, she encountered an avalanche. When she fled in a panic, she was separated from her bodyguards. She wandered around the mountains for a day and a night, but could not find the way out.
, but unexpectedly met Chu Yan who came to Huating with a caravan to do business. Although Chu Yan was unfamiliar with the place, he had a good wayfinder in the team, making it easy to get out of the mountains and forests.
The Lord of Huating County has been rebellious since she was a child. She froze in the mountains for a day and a night. When she suddenly saw the common people, she couldn't help but feel a little arrogant. She went up and ordered Chu Yan and others to take her away. Unexpectedly, Chu Yan did the same when he was young.
He was a tough guy, but suddenly a strange woman came and gave him a fierce order. Naturally, he was unhappy and refused the request of the Huating County Lord. The Huating County Lord was furious, feeling that these commoners simply didn't know how to commend themselves, so he turned around angrily.
Just leave without bothering to beg them again.
After she left, Chu Yan realized that he was a little uneasy. The Chu family had been doing business for generations and was wealthy. He naturally saw that the clothes on the woman were either rich or expensive, and the woman kept claiming to be the head of Huating County, so it didn't seem like she knew how to do it.
It's a lie. If she really had an accident in the mountains, it would be fine if she died. If she were alive, wouldn't she be held accountable for the crime of disrespect?
What's more, even if what the other party said is true, it would be a pity for a girl to freeze to death in the mountains. He just made the other party angry and ran away, so nothing really happened.
The more Chu Yan thought about it, the more worried he became, so he chased the Huating County Master alone. Unexpectedly, before he could get far, he saw the Huating County Master lying on his horse crying. It turned out that her horse was exhausted after walking all day and night.
She was shocked and frightened, so she hugged the horse on the ground and cried loudly.
Chu Yan was so funny that he rode his horse up to the head of Huating County and stretched out his wrist to her, "Don't you want me to take you out? Why are you crying?"
His appearance at that time was undoubtedly a beam of light in despair for the Huating County Princess, which instantly illuminated her entire life. Things followed naturally. The two secretly fell in love in Huating, and the Huating County Princess promised him her life.
, married his savior.
This marriage was obviously not a good match at the time. Scholars, farmers, and merchants, and merchants ranked last. Although the merchant's family was wealthy, it was not recognized by the upper class. Especially the extremely noble royal princess, how could she commit herself to a merchant?
?
The Chu family is also reluctant. As the richest people in Liuzhou, their life is very comfortable. If they marry a domineering princess, things will become complicated. The originally free life has become a daily life.
Everyone has to look at the princess's face to behave, and everyone will feel aggrieved.
But the two of them did not back down, and persisted. Finally, they asked the emperor for marriage, and the head of Huating County moved to Liuzhou as a matter of course and married into the Chu family.
Their marriage, which was not expected at first, has undergone earth-shaking changes after they got married. The Chu family's wealth will inevitably attract covetous attention from all parties. With the support of the Huating County Lord, the surrounding tigers, leopards and wolves have to put aside their coveting.
No one dares to touch the Chu family, and the Chu family is not useless to the head of Huating County. Just because she recruits troops aggressively and cultivates power for the royal family, the wealth of the Chu family has become her strongest backing.
The two parties have cooperated vigorously. In just twenty years, each other has become a lot stronger, and it can be regarded as a happy marriage by accident.
The head of Huating County was frightened when he thought about all the hardships involved. As long as either she or Chu Yan didn't persevere, they would not be able to get where they are today, especially after Chu Yan carried Aunt Liu into the mansion.
There was a lot of rift between them, but at that time she had already given birth to two sons, and all her focus turned to her sons, so she turned a blind eye to the scandalous things about the Chu family.
As her two sons grew up, one was outstanding and the other was obedient and sensible. She felt that she had nothing to be dissatisfied with. Then she would wait for her two sons to get married, marry two good daughters-in-law, and have some well-behaved grandchildren.
, her life is enough.
Unfortunately, things in the world often do not go as planned. Just when she was happily waiting for Chu Ling to get married, the old lady's decision was like a bolt from the blue, driving her almost crazy.
Her Chu Ling, such a good Chu Ling, was the first civil and military scholar in Zhao State, and would also become the first civil and military champion in the future.
Such an outstanding son married a child bride who everyone laughed at!
The head of Huating County was so angry that his teeth broke into pieces. She couldn't figure out why the old lady who always loved Chu Ling the most could make such a decision.
What’s even more outrageous is that Chu Ling actually agreed?!
She hated the old lady, hated Chu Ling, and even more hated her husband's incompetence.
What happened to Aunt Liu was like this, and what happened to Chu Ling is like this now. Chu Yan went with the flow time and time again and accepted decisions that would break her heart.
