Hearing his wife's words, Chu Zhongtian was silent, the rivers and mountains of the Great Zhou Dynasty were defeated by Emperor Taizu, but Taizu's sons died one after another in the Unification War, so Taizu's younger brother passed his second son to Taizu, that is, the current King of Qi.

In a tragic war, Taizu died with the strong people of the foreign race, because his step-son was still young, and the country he had just conquered was not stable, so he passed the throne to his younger brother, that is, Emperor Taizong, before his death.

Emperor Taizong inherited the will of Taizu and unified the eight wildernesses, but unfortunately because there were too many old injuries on the battlefield, there were not many teenagers who also reached the limit, but when he chose an heir, he made difficulties.

It stands to reason that his throne comes from his brother's lineage, and it was also because he considered that King Qi was too young, for the sake of the future of the family and the country, he replaced him, and now he should return the throne to the King of Qi who grew up.

But people are selfish, although in fact King Qi is also his son, but he has been passed on to Taizu, and he is a person in another room, so he is naturally not as good as his real eldest son King Jin.

Therefore, he played a small trick and ordered the two of them to pass the throne to whoever broke through the realm of the earth immortals first.

At that time, the King of Jin was much older than the second son King Qi, and Taizong, as the emperor, must have more resources at his disposal, so he secretly helped, and the King of Jin naturally took the lead in breaking through to the realm of earth immortals, and he successfully inherited the throne in chapters, that is, the current emperor Gaozong.

However, there were still many old ministers who were loyal to Taizu's lineage, and Taizu's wife naturally supported King Qi.

But a hundred years have passed, and Gaozong is also approaching the period of the five declines of heaven and man, but he set up his son as the crown prince, which naturally caused the dissatisfaction of the King of Qi's family, coupled with the prince's original moderation, far less than the King of Qi's amazing talent, and many other courtiers also moved their minds.

But after all, Gaozong has been the emperor for hundreds of years, and his henchmen are strong enough, and the two groups have been fighting openly and secretly over the years.

The Chu family has two major industries of salt and iron, which can be described as a rich country, and such a pivotal big family will naturally be co-opted by both sides, but Chu Zhongtian is unwilling to get involved in the dispute between the crown prince and has always remained neutral.

The Chu family and his wife were very embarrassed, because the Chu family was different from ordinary families, there was a big secret that could not be known by outsiders, and Chu Chuyan had supported half of the Chu family over the years, if she was married, the entire Chu family would immediately fall into the risk of being swallowed up.

Chu Chuyan also knew all this, so he took the initiative to recruit a son-in-law, found the most wasteful guy in the city to be his son-in-law, and hurriedly held a wedding, completely cutting off the minds of the emperor and the king of Qi.

That's why Qin Wanru suspected that the destruction of the Spirit Spring this time was someone sent by the emperor or the King of Qi.

"No matter which side it is, we won't have a good time in the future," Chu Zhongtian said in a deep voice, "Sang Hong is about to take over as the Taishou of Linchuan County." "Mingyue City is within the jurisdiction of Linchuan County.

Qin Wanru's face changed slightly: "Dasi Nong Cheng Sanghong!"

Dasi Nong is one of the nine secretaries, in charge of national finance, Dasi Nong Cheng is the second-in-command of Da Si Nong, Sang Hong has always supervised salt and iron, is the emperor's cronies, this time he was sent to serve as the county guard of Linchuan, and it is clear that he is from the Chu family.

"I have heard that this person is ruthless, and the six relatives don't recognize him, I don't know how many nobles in the capital have been ruined by him over the years, and this time our Chu family is probably in danger. Qin Wanru looked worried.

Seeing that his wife, who had always been strong, showed a weak look, Chu Zhongtian hugged her into his arms: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, our Chu family is not easy to bully, he Sang Hong is only an eight-grade, and it is not known who will kill the deer at that time." ”

Qin Wanru glanced at her husband: "Is it difficult to deal with and it doesn't just depend on personal cultivation, Chen Xuan, the thief of Longyin Mountain outside the city, is just a six-grade, and I haven't seen you kill him for so many years?"

Chu Zhongtian snorted: "Chen Xuan, that guy is very slippery, the divine dragon can't see the head and the tail, every time I get the news and rush to him, he has disappeared without a trace, so I suspect that there is one in this city who should give him a message, otherwise, how could he not catch him after so many years!"

Qin Wanru's eyes rolled: "This group of thieves not only sells illicit salt, but also robs and kills passing caravans, and throws this problem to Sang Hong, as a county guard, he has to sit idly by." ”

Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up: "Madam, good idea, by the way, I heard that the caravan of the Yu family is coming to Mingyue City recently, I have to inform them, so as not to be ambushed by Chen Xuan's group...... Ouch hurts hurts ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was pinched by Qin Wanru's ears: "I think you are worried about the hostess of the family, Yushu Qiongzhi is a smoker, the first beauty in the capital back then, you still pursued others shamelessly, but unfortunately in the end she married the prince of Yunzhong." Why, do you still want to take the opportunity to continue the frontier?"

Chu Zhongtian hurriedly begged for mercy: "Madam, everyone has been married for so many years, how can I have other ideas, don't talk nonsense." ”

Qin Wanru didn't let go, and snorted coldly: "But as far as I know, the prince of Yunzhong County passed away unexpectedly a few days ago, and now Yuyanluo is single." ”

Chu Zhongtian's eyes lit up: "Really?"

He immediately felt two murderous eyes beside him, and hurriedly changed his words: "Madam, I don't even know this, which proves that I have never paid attention to her, not to mention that you don't know my situation, how can you have any thoughts." ”

Seeing his gloomy expression, Qin Wanru hurriedly let go of his ears: "Husband, I'm sorry." ”

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "It's me who is sorry for you." ”

Qin Wanru didn't want to see him like this, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "By the way, where is Chu Yan?"

Chu Zhongtian replied: "She took the young lady of the Pei family to the city to play." ”

Qin Wanru frowned: "She is from the Pei family, she should be a person from the King of Qi's lineage, this time she suddenly came to Mingyue Academy to study, and I always felt that she had some bad intentions." ”

Chu Zhongtian laughed: "Don't worry, your family is so smart, and you have your own sense of proportion." ”

Qin Wanru snorted: "That Pei Mianman is not very old, but she was born like a fox who turns everyone upside down, and those peach blossom eyes seem to be seducing men at any time, I don't like her." ”

Chu Zhongtian smiled dumbly: "Are you still worried that she will rob a man with Chu Yan?"

Thinking of Zu An's unlucky appearance, it was really hard to imagine that Pei Mianman would fall in love with him, and Qin Wanru couldn't help laughing: "If she really snatches that bastard away, I can't wait for it." ”

Ah sneeze~

Zu An sneezed fiercely, wondering which lady was missing him.

"Uncle, have you suffered from the cold, the little one will find you a thick dress to wear. A startled voice sounded, and before Zuan could react, a figure surrounded him with a piece of clothing.

Zu An was stunned for a moment, staring at the young man in front of him, about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in blue clothes, with two steamed buns on his head, and a pair of eyes that were quite big, looking at the thin skin and tender meat.

"No, buddy, who are you?"

"Uncle is tormented by the little one, the little one is your scholar. The boy smiled flatteringly.

"Scholar?" Zu An was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that he should have mentioned that he was going to Mingyue Academy before, but he was just going to a family private school, and he used it to be a special scholar?

It seems that this Duke's Mansion is really a big dog, well, I like it.

"What do you call me?"

"Uncle?"

"I didn't hear clearly, louder?"

"Uncle!"

"Yes, yes, you kid has a future. ”

Zu An's face suddenly blossomed, since he came to this world, he has not encountered a pleasant thing, although he is the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, but who in this mansion takes him in his eyes, let alone take the initiative to call him uncle.

It's rare for a little scholar to be so knowledgeable, and Zu An feels very comfortable.

"By the way, what's your name?"

The little scholar was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "Back to my uncle, the little one is called Cheng Shou Bottle." ”

"What bottle?" Zu An'an thought that ordinary scholars don't all call them Fuwangcai or something, it's a big deal to call Hua'an or something, the simpler and easier to remember, the better, why does this guy's name sound so weird?

"Cheng Shou Bottle, Shou Bottle, the name that the master personally gave me!" Speaking of this, the little scholar puffed up his chest and said proudly.

"Yes, I can get the name of the master himself. "Although Zu An doesn't know the customs of this world, but he wants to come to the same world, and it is a great honor for the master to give his name, like the Zheng Chenggong in his previous life, after being given the surname by the emperor, he was called the surname of the country one by one.

"Uncle passed the award, when I was working beside the master, I was deeply pleased, and then I was transferred to the back kitchen, I thought there was something to make the master unhappy, but now I learned that I was arranged to be my uncle's scholar, then I know the master's good intentions, a few years ago must be able to sharpen me, so that I am ready to accept a more important mission. Cheng Shou Bottle's eyes were shining when he said this, and he looked excited.

"Wait......" Why does Zu An think that the more he listens, the more wrong it is, he knows very well what is going on with his uncle, this guy still thinks it is a beauty difference?

It doesn't seem that the IQ is very high.

And this guy obviously worked beside Master Chu at the beginning, why was he assigned to a place like the back kitchen?

However, he obviously didn't care much about these things, and was more concerned about the issues related to him: "Listening to what you just said, you should have been in the Chu family for a long time, and you should know a lot of things." ”

Cheng Shou patted his chest: "That's natural, this Chu Mansion goes up to the old lady and down to the guy's house, there is nothing I don't know." ”

Zu An was trying to find out the information of the house, you must know that he had only been here for two days, and so many people had already wanted to kill him, but he didn't know what the problem was, which made him have a huge sense of crisis.

He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know why the Chu family chose me as a son-in-law?" This is what he is most puzzled about, you must know that Chu Chuyan is the top in terms of appearance, figure, and family background, and the Zu An of this world is a waste from any point of view, normally these two people should not have intersections, and it is really weird to get married.

Hearing his question, Cheng Shouhua looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Isn't it because Uncle Yushu is handsome and chic?"

Zu An's eyes were straight, this guy's ability to talk nonsense in a serious way is really quite a bit like Uncle Ben's look: "Ahem, although I know you are telling the truth, but is there any other reason?"

"No, at that time, the young lady chose you because she saw that you were handsome. Cheng Shou Bottle thought to himself that in addition to this, you can't find other advantages, don't you have a point B in your heart, of course, he didn't show these thoughts at all, and at this moment his eyes and expressions are as sincere as they are.

"Oh, you said that Miss personally chose me?" Zuan keenly noticed the information revealed in his words.

"Yes, at that time, Madame was not very satisfied, and advised her to think twice. Cheng Shou replied.

Zu An directly interrupted: "There is no need to say these unimportant words anymore. ”

At first, he guessed that Chu Chuyan had to marry him because of his parents' orders, so he was dissatisfied and had the intention to kill, but according to what Cheng Shou said, this possibility could be directly ruled out.

But why did Chu Chuyan choose herself as her son-in-law? That girl's eyes are quite bright, not blind.

Bah, she must have been impressed by my handsome face and coveted my body.
