Chapter 13: Visiting a church, getting married, and refusing an official position
"It's been a long time since I've seen the lady smile. She is really in high spirits during happy events."
Fu Yuehua also gave a rare explanation when he heard the maid's praise.
"Well, I thought of something happy."
Fu Yuehua was only separated from Li Xiuzhu by a courtyard wall at this time. After repeated experiments, she came up with the accurate distance at which she could hear Li Xiuzhu's voice.
Ten feet!
One foot is different in each dynasty. One foot here is three meters, which means that with her as the center of the circle, Li Xiuzhu's voice can be heard within 30 meters.
In order not to miss Li Xiuzhu's voice, she moved to the yard closest to Li Xiuzhu.
Not to mention, it's really fun to eavesdrop on other people's thoughts.
Li Xiuzhu waited until the wedding was about to start, but didn't wait until his father-in-law broke off the engagement. Suddenly he felt a little hopeless.
But there is nothing I can do now. Let’s just end it. Will we be able to separate later? It’s not a big problem!
But after two days here, he started to miss the little fairy Yue, and he didn't know if her aunt was gone.
I don’t know how much of the relationship between the two will remain after not seeing each other for a while.
Can I still sleep? This is more important, after all, people's minds change.
But he has done everything he should and can do, and it can only wait and see the test of time.
"Uncle, it's time to change into your wedding clothes!"
"Um!"
Li Xiuzhu, who was not very interested, stood there and allowed his subordinates to manipulate him. He was soon taken to the front hall and pushed next to Fu Yuehua.
The hall was already full of people at this time. Although most of them were not wearing official uniforms, Li Xiuzhu could make a rough guess based on their words, deeds, and figure.
Sixty percent of the people here are fat-minded, either wealthy businessmen or officials.
But this is the marriage of the prime minister's daughter, and the wealthy businessmen may not even be able to enter the inner courtyard.
Just as the wedding was about to begin, a sound of singing suddenly sounded.
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
???The emperor is here? This is unscientific? Why is the emperor coming to join in the fun when the daughter of a minister is getting married?
But just when Li Xiuzhu was in a daze, he was suddenly pulled by Fu Yuehua on the side. Seeing that the civil and military officials of the court were already bowing to salute, Li Xiuzhu hurriedly bowed to salute.
"Fortunately, it's not a kneeling ceremony. If this was a kneeling ceremony, it would be too tragic!"
???
Doubts suddenly arose in Fu Yuehua's mind. Could it be that Li Xiuzhu didn't even understand the basic etiquette of meeting a saint?
"Come on, please. Today is not a formal occasion. Dear ladies, there is no need to be formal."
At this time Fu Wenhan, the cheap father-in-law, hurriedly ran to the emperor's side.
"I didn't know that when Your Majesty came, I was far away to welcome him. Your Majesty personally attended my daughter's wedding, and I was terrified!"
"Fu Aiqing doesn't need to say more. You have worked hard for us and you only have a few daughters. I just want to run a few more steps, what's wrong with you."
As he said this, the old emperor looked over and said immediately: "Fu Xiangguo has indeed recruited a good Qilin'er. With such a good appearance, even I am a little envious."
Li Xiuzhu knew what to do without Fu Yuehua's help.
Li Xiuzhu walked over quickly, saluted directly and said: "Your Majesty said this, which made the people panic. But the people feel that what your Majesty said is wrong."
"How dare you speak to His Majesty? Apologize quickly."
The advantageous father-in-law seems to be scolding, but in fact he is defending, and the power of the dragon is untouchable.
But the emperor was very interested.
"Oh, tell me, why did I say something wrong? If you say the right thing, you will be rewarded. If you say the wrong thing, you will also be punished."
Li Xiuzhu is not afraid. He has been around for two lifetimes. How can it be difficult to get him by flattering him without leaving any trace?
"Caomin believes that everyone has their own aesthetics, although everyone can distinguish between beauty and ugliness."
"But if you choose three people with good facial features, who can tell who is more beautiful?"
"Maybe men like the one on the left and women prefer the one on the right?"
When the emperor heard this, he suddenly asked curiously: "What about the one in the middle? Doesn't anyone like it?"
"Neither man nor woman, stand in the middle! Maybe the person next to you will like it."
However, Li Xiuzhu naturally did not dare to say this, as this would offend people to the point of death!
Fu Yuehua was paralyzed, fearing that Li Xiuzhu would die if he spoke out his true feelings! He was a close servant of the emperor.
"Maybe the kids will like it!"
"Huh~" Fu Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to hear his heart is not necessarily a good thing. It can easily make him sick.
"Okay, that's well said. You are indeed talented."
The emperor praised Li Xiuzhu and did not forget the reward.
"Come here, the bounty is as you wish, a pair of golden lions, the bounty is a thousand taels!"
Li Xiuzhu saluted again very wisely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
At this time, Li Xiuzhu could take a real look at the emperor. The emperor looked to be just middle-aged, in his thirties, with a little beard that was well groomed.
Apart from that, he looks quite handsome. After all, he has royal genes and a beautiful mother.
But just like that, he was much worse than him, so it's no wonder that even the emperor was envious.
We still haven’t peed or taken a bath together, otherwise we wouldn’t be envious of him and cry!
"No, you have to stay away. Otherwise, what will I do if I see that I have low self-esteem? If my envy turns to jealousy, I will feel cold."
Fu Yuehua:???
What is this bastard talking about again?
"Ai Qing, does your son-in-law intend to become an official?"
997? Kowtow? Precarious?
Li Xiuzhu refused without waiting for his father-in-law to speak.
And after reading so many online articles, he had already thought of the reasons!
"Your Majesty, the common people have few talents and little knowledge. They can't even write a few big characters. If you become an official, you will only harm the country and the people."
"Furthermore, Xiaomin suffers from stomach problems and cannot stand for long periods of time. He can only make soft meals slowly every day, so he can only live up to the divine grace."
"Haha, being an official? Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, not even a dog, okay?"
Fu Yuehua was numb, this cheap husband simply refreshed her understanding of scholars.
He obviously had great skills, but he was unwilling to sell them to the emperor's family.
Don’t all scholars have the lifelong goal of becoming a good official?
And he doesn’t respect the imperial power at all. What kind of book are you reading?
"Hey, that's a pity, but you can't delay it if you're sick."
"Mr. Fu, I will send an imperial doctor to look at your virtuous son-in-law tomorrow."
"I thank your Majesty!"
"The common people thank Your Majesty!"
Naturally, the emperor would not stay long, and the wedding began to take place.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
"Couple greetings!"
After the visit, the emperor said a few words to his father-in-law and left.
Li Xiuzhu, after sending his cheap wife back to the bridal chamber, went out to toast her again.
At this stage, housekeeper Ma will accompany you throughout the whole process and point out which official is which.
It seems that being an errand for the Prime Minister's Government is not an easy job. Just remembering people is a technical job.
When Li Xiuzhu returned to the bridal chamber, he immediately lay down and looked at the figure in red in front of him in confusion. Li Xiuzhu showed a silly smile.
"Drink, I'm not drunk!"
Fu Yuehua was not surprised for a moment, he just got up and walked down, grabbed Li Xiuzhu's hand and lifted the red hijab.
The next second, a charming face appeared in Li Xiuzhu's eyes.
PS: Seeing the young author working so hard, a monthly pass is not too much, right? If there are recommendation votes, wouldn’t it be too much to give some recommendation votes? In addition, I don’t know why I can’t reply to the comments in the background. I am speechless. I am not a studio, but I am an old author!
