This is the first time Chu Ze has entered the Daxia Palace.
Compared with the Forbidden City in the previous life, this imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty is even more majestic and magnificent.
In the corridor of the palace, Chu Ze followed Eunuch Liu.
The two of them moved forward slowly.
Came to a palace.
Chu Ze looked up and saw a plaque with three big characters hanging high above.
"Pengcheng Palace!" Chu Ze muttered.
He also knew that this place was one of the most famous palaces in Daxia.
With a long journey ahead, every time after Enke passed the imperial examination and passed the first place, the emperor would entertain the outstanding scholars here to show his favor.
"Master Chu, please go in. There are name tags on the seats inside. You can look for them by yourself." Liu Gonggong said.
Obviously, he had no intention of sending Chu Ze into it.
Chu Ze turned around, bowed and gave a salute, and said with a smile: "Thank you, father-in-law, for seeing me off. Please go slowly."
Eunuch Liu also returned the courtesy, with a smile on his face, and said: "Young Master Chu, please don't be too polite. I will leave you."
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Eunuch Liu turned and left.
Chu Ze also put away his smile, held his head high and walked into the hall.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Chu Ze saw many young people dressed in luxurious clothes.
These people gathered in the hall in twos and threes to chat. When they saw Chu Ze coming in, they just glanced at him and ignored him.
There are eight rows of low tables in the hall, with a soft cushion placed under each table.
In the upper right corner of the table, the name and origin of the owner of each table is written on bamboo pieces!
For example, "Wang Ping, the son of General Zhechong, Third Viscount Wang Hu"
"Zhang Mingxuan, the son of the second-class Viscount Zhang Chong, commander of the Forbidden Army"
Wait for similar names.
As for the sorting, it is also sorted forward from high to low by the father's title.
The family background and the level of the title can be seen at a glance.
Chu Ze continued to walk forward and saw a familiar name.
Uncle Ning Yuan’s son—Chu Wuchen!
That's right, it's Chu Ze's eldest brother!
But he had arrived early and was talking to a group of people. When he saw Chu Ze walking by, he quickly pushed aside the crowd, stepped forward to stop Chu Ze, and exclaimed loudly: "Isn't this my poor widower brother? See you.
Brother didn’t even say hello?”
The word "widower" is somewhat insulting and ridiculing.
As the saying goes, being old without a wife is called a widower. However, Chu Ze cannot use this term in any case.
The young men around him were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He shouted, "So this is the Third Young Master of Chu. I have only heard of his name, but I have never seen him."
"Come and introduce us to him."
"Brother Chu, I heard that he is joining the Duke's residence. Come and introduce him to us."
Today's Chen Jinsong is no longer what he used to be. He has no military power in his hands and only holds the title of Duke. Although he still has some influence among the older generation, these young people really don't care at the moment!
In the distance, many people also noticed the movements of people here and watched the excitement.
A coldness flashed in Chu Ze's eyes. To be honest, although his predecessor was bullied when he was at home, Chu Ze who traveled through time actually had no desire to take revenge.
Yesterday at the mourning hall, it was only because this guy disgusted him first that Chu Ze made some counterattacks.
But in his opinion, everyone will just meet each other as strangers from now on and no longer be involved.
So even though he saw Chu Wuchen chatting with this group of people just now, Chu Ze just passed by without any intention of causing trouble.
Unexpectedly, this guy is really haunted and insists on coming to find trouble!
Seeing that Chu Wuchen and others stopped him, Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and said jokingly: "Hey, it turns out to be the eldest brother. I didn't see you just now, why did you call me? But there is no pocket money? After all, my father only has enough money a month.
I’ll give you five hundred taels of silver to spend, do you want me to support you more?”
While he was talking, Chu Ze took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, counted them one by one, and murmured: "Grandpa gave me tens of thousands of taels of pocket money yesterday, and I am worried about how to spend it."
Everyone was dumbfounded. You must know that although Da Xia Xungui received a good salary, he could not spend money casually.
The cost of five hundred taels of silver was actually quite a lot in the hands of these young people.
There are very few people out there who can take out tens of thousands of taels of silver at will.
And Chu Ze, a surrogate son-in-law, actually paid tens of thousands of taels for a single payment?
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have gained the jealousy of Chu Wuchen and obtained the red eye value: 89"
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have gained Tian Wensong's jealousy and obtained the red eye value: 75"
"Dingdong, congratulations to the host, you have gained Miao Yu's jealousy and gained a red eye value of 64."
The young man who had originally laughed at Chu Ze now felt jealousy in his heart.
Why is a son-in-law so rich?
If it was normal, Chu Ze really didn't have much money a month.
But Chen Xirui died when he couldn't stand it. Chen Jinsong gave all the gold given by the emperor to Chu Ze. Now he is no longer a simple son-in-law.
These young men all looked at Chu Ze counting the banknotes with their eyes widened, and they wished they could grab those banknotes directly into their own hands.
But it’s hard for anyone to show it off.
All they could do was force a smile and say: "Brother Chu is so rich."
"It's true."
In fact, they are extremely jealous in their hearts.
Chu Wuchen's face turned red and he said angrily: "I have enough expenses, I don't need you to give me money."
"Oh, that's okay, I'll keep it when I go back to reward my servants." Chu Ze raised his head and smiled.
Of course he had no intention of really giving it to Chu Wuchen.
Chu Ze didn't wait for Chu Wuchen to speak, and said seriously: "Brother, today we are all our own brothers, there are no outsiders. I also want to remind you, don't fool around with your friends if you have nothing to do. If you anger your father,
, maybe my father will pass the title to his second brother."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Wuchen immediately clenched his fists. Yes, the second eldest son of the Chu family was not Chu Ze, who was always staring at that position.
Chu Ze looked at the people in front of him with reverence and said: "As for me, this is what I will do in this life. After a while, I will take a concubine, give birth to a child and inherit the title of Duke, and my second son will inherit the title of Marquis.
Just eat and wait to die.
But I have also thought about it. Everyone is working hard just to have enough food and clothing and to gain a title.
Although I won’t have a title myself from now on, my son will.
As for me, just enjoying my son's glory is absolutely better than having the titles that your brothers fought for with their lives on the battlefield.
Even if your titles are lower, your money is lower, your treatment is worse, even if you die in battle, it is still a real honor. I have great admiration for all of you."
Everyone present couldn't help but clenched their fists.
This sounds so strange.
And it was like a thorn piercing deep into my heart.
They work hard and fight for it, but they may not be able to inherit the title.
Even if you inherit it and then go to the battlefield to fight, you may not be able to give your child the title of Duke until you die.
But the guy in front of him can enjoy all the benefits brought by the title of Duke.
I feel so angry no matter what!
So, the beep sound of Chu Ze’s system started to sound again!
