Prince Xiang Tiange left in embarrassment, and Princess Xiang Ling and others also left first.

Li Yu was full of worries, Chu Tianxiu was confused, and took Di'er and Zu'er to the direction of the Jinluan Palace banquet without hurrying.

Soon, another group of ministers came behind.

Among the crowd are royal relatives, the first wealthy businessmen in Jinling, the Shen father and son, both of whom are dressed in coarse cloth clothes and cloth shoes, just like the dress of a farmer's father and son.

If it weren't for the fact that the Shen father and son were too famous, and the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace gate would recognize them, the two of them might not even be able to enter the palace gate.

The princes and ministers walking on the palace road were all surprised and moved when they saw the Shen father and son dressed as civilians in coarse cloth clothes.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the palace feast, the princes and princes were brightly dressed, wearing gold and silver, and they were extremely luxurious. No one wants to be embarrassed in the slightest.

Empress Dowager Shen's younger brother Shen Dafu and nephew Shen Wanbao are dressed so downwardly, this... How shocking was that?

"Brother Shen, why is it here?"

"What's wrong with Shen Mansion? Can't afford a fancy suit? ”

Some ministers asked in surprise.

"Alas, my Shen family is down, poor!"

Shen Dafu had a bitter face and sighed.

As for who was pitted, the ministers asked, but he didn't say.

Sell a pass, so that the princes and princes can be curious. Later, when he saw the Empress Dowager Shen, he cried fiercely again, causing a strong crusade against the Duhou Mansion by all the ministers.

"Uncle Guo, Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Tianxiu was also surprised when he saw Shen Dafu and Shen Wanbao.

Some time ago, their Shen father and son were extremely generous, 10,000 taels of silver paper workshop, and they didn't blink an eye!

It's only been a few days, and the father and son have become civilian cloths, what kind of fame is this?

"Alas, my Shen family is too poor now, it's really hard to explain!"

Shen Wanbao grimaced.

Under my nose, there is a smug feeling that is hard to hide.

He was still waiting, and his father told the Hou Mansion in front of the Queen Mother, and raised his eyebrows.

...

Soon, Li Yu and Chu Tianxiu, husband and wife, Shen father and son, and a group of people arrived at the Jinluan Palace.

The palace feast on the first day of the first lunar month was held in the magnificent Jinluan Palace. It's just that it's still early at noon, and the people haven't arrived yet, so the feast is not so early.

Empress Dowager Shen has already arrived.

The seventy-year-old lady with white hair and kind eyebrows sat at the head of the feast, and was being worshiped by the princess, the county lord, and the ladies of the court, surrounded by all of them, chatting.

The father and son of the Shen family hurriedly squeezed to the front of the crowd and were about to meet the Empress Dowager Shen.

Suddenly, there was a cry from the crowd, and both of them were stunned.

I saw an old beggar dressed in tatters, covered in tattered linen, with a haggard look, worshipping in front of the Empress Dowager Shen, crying loudly.

This crying is sorrowful, miserable, and makes people cry and sadden.

The surrounding group of princesses, county lords, and noblewomen all held Juanpa in their hands and wiped their tears, obviously moved by the tragic cry of the beggar.

"Can beggars enter the palace?"

Shen Dafu was taken aback, and took a closer look, but it was the old faint Marquis Chuyong.

He was immediately extremely alert.

What is this old faint Marquis Chu Yong, wearing beggar clothes, kneeling in front of Empress Dowager Shen?

"Queen Mother, I've had such a hard time in the Marquis Mansion! This garment was washed and washed, worn and worn, mended and mended. I haven't eaten for two days, so I drank a bowl of porridge in the morning to pad my stomach and rushed to see the Queen Mother. ”

The old faint marquis was prostrate on the ground, crying in a hoarse voice.

"Old Dusk Marquis, why is this so?"

Empress Dowager Shen's eyes were slightly red, and she sighed: "The mourning family still remembers the time when the old man was faint, and what a beautiful scenery the Duhou Mansion was. At that time, the women of Jinling City, which family did not want to marry into the Duhou Mansion. It's only been a few years... It got to the point where you couldn't open the pot. ”

Looking back on those years, she remembers it vividly.

At that time, she was still a young and ignorant civilian palace maid. The rumors of the scenery of the Dumhou Mansion are envious and fascinated.

She once followed her master out of the palace to attend the sensational wedding in the Dull Mansion.

Sitting in front with her master, she only glanced at the old and faint marquis, who was suave and suave, and the peerless posture of Jinling was simply amazing.

At that glance, she seemed to spin the world, like a dream.... In this life, I have never forgotten that peerless graceful face.

The princess of the Manchu Dynasty, the lord of the county, the top ten gate valves of Jinling, whose woman doesn't dream of marrying into the Duhou Mansion?!

The family of the official eunuch with a second-class family background didn't dare to think about it at all. Because the threshold of his house is too low, he can't climb the Duhou Mansion.

Later, she was drunk by the old emperor and gave birth to the prince Xiang Yanran.... was involved in the palace infighting, and there was no time to take care of it.

She was cautious, took the young prince, survived one palace fight and chaos after another in the palace, changed the lights, survived one queen and prince after another, and finally survived until Xiang Yanran ascended the throne and became the emperor.

The state politics of the Great Chu Dynasty have been chaotic for several dynasties, and they have finally stabilized.

Some time ago, King Ping's Mansion entered the palace to sue the Marquis of Duan, saying that the old Marquis owed 100,000 taels of silver and had not been repaid.

Li Rong, the king of Ping, was the emperor's sworn brother, who was born and died on the battlefield, and used the lives of hundreds of people of the Li family to save the emperor from the siege of the Huns, how could the emperor endure it.

The emperor was furious and wanted to take away the title of the Dusk Marquis's Mansion.

She finally persuaded the emperor to calm down his anger and let the little marquis enter the palace of the king and pay off this huge debt.

But I never thought that the Duhou Mansion would still be downcast to such a field.

"What about the silver you borrowed?"

Empress Dowager Shen wondered.

"Queen Mother, you know too! Emperor Taizu gave me the title of Marquis of Chujia, and all the marquis of Chu have obeyed the holy order of Emperor Taizu. ”

"The little dusk marquis is his grandfather, and the old dusk marquis brought it up by himself.

The old and old marquis always praised his grandson, saying that he is gifted, and he is the most outstanding marquis of my family in the past generations, and he must be cultivated well.

Xiao Duhou has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't stand a little grievance.

When he slaughters a sheep, he only eats one bite of the meat at the tip of the sheep's heart, and spits out the rest. In an acre of vegetables, he only eats the most tender cabbage leaf of each vegetable, and does not want the rest. Almost all of the expenses of the Dull Mansion were spent on him. ”

"I'm a father, bitter!"

"However, for the sake of my children, I would rather suffer myself than let my children suffer at all. Even if I, the marquis, wear patches, go to the street to beg for food, beg for money everywhere, and owe huge debts that I can't replace in my life, I can't be wronged by the little dusk!

When Xiao Duhou was at home, there was a feast in the house. Since he went to the Pingwang Mansion, I have been making gruel and cold water every day in the Duhou Mansion, saving money and spending the rest of my life, and thriftily using every copper plate to pay off debts. ”

The old faint marquis Chu Yong was prostrate at the feet of the Empress Dowager Shen, with his face on his back, two lines of old tears crisscrossing the vicissitudes of life.

All the ladies were sad and wept when they heard it, the old faint marquis is too great! This is a great father's love for a good father and the courage to take responsibility.

Chu Tianxiu heard the familiar cry, and couldn't help but put his feet on the outskirts of the crowd and looked inside curiously.

Many princesses, county lords, and noblewomen found that the little dusk marquis was also coming, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Chu Tianxiu.

Look, Xiao Duhou is dressed in a gorgeous crown dress, jade belt, and jade pendant, a few thousand taels.

Look at his ruddy complexion, red lips and white teeth, like warm jade, he looks like a peerless prince of a beautiful prince, how well he is raised! There is no large amount of silver that can be nourished like this.

Look at it again, the old faint marquis, a beggar covered in patches, looks like a few copper plate clothes. His face was pale and haggard, as if he was about to faint from hunger, and he couldn't even afford to drink porridge.

The defeat of this faint marquis mansion must have been all the money smashed on the little faint marquis.

The words of the old faint marquis are really true!

They finally knew how deep the old faint marquis's fatherly love was. Little Dusk Hou has enjoyed the greatest fatherly love in the world.

Even, even Li Yu couldn't help but glance back at Chu Tianxiu, her husband raised such a nourishment, it turned out that most of the credit was on the old faint marquis.

Chu Tianxiu was stunned and couldn't help but touch his face.

If you have a good face, can you blame myself?

Dad, you haven't eaten for a few days and are hungry like this, do you have such a pit for your son?

It took several generations for the Dull Marquis Mansion to decay, and the silver spent by your generations of Dull Marquis is similar to that of the Little Dull Marquis. Why is this big black cauldron all on my back?

Shen Dafu and Shen Wanbao, father and son were stunned.

Look at the patched beggar's clothes and miserable appearance of the old faint marquis.

Then they looked at their new cloth clothes... Instantly felt that the small life of the Shen Mansion, not to mention how good it was, was far from the point where the mountains and rivers of the Duhou Mansion were exhausted!
