Twilight.

A thin and delicate young man figure and a delicate girl figure jumped out of the ox cart and arrived in front of the gate of the Duhou Mansion.

On the plaque of the Dusk Hou Mansion, the four characters of "Chu's Dusk Hou" are gilded and inlayed, and the pride is sky-high. The bronze door is calm and heavy, highlighting the majestic heritage of the Dull Marquis Mansion as a thousand-year-old prince.

On both sides of the door are two huge Pixiu stone carved town houses, which are a few points more magnificent than the Pingwang Mansion.

Chu Tianxiu stood in the snow under the stone steps, looking at the plaque of the Dusk Hou Mansion, his thoughts were complicated and angry.

This is the Dull Mansion, where he has traveled through two thousand years.

Why is the old dusk marquis so ruthless, knocking this son unconscious with a mallet, forcing his only son to go to the Pingwang Mansion, and being the son-in-law who came to the door, and suffered a belly of son-in-law?

He's finally back.

If the old dusk doesn't give him an explanation, this matter is not over!

Chu Tianxiu was angry and knocked on the thick bronze door.

"Who!"

"Me, Xiu'er! Lao Tzu is back! ”

"Oh, Xiu'er~! How did you get back? Our Dumhou Mansion has been defeated, Dad sent you to Pingwang's Mansion, there is a warehouse full of money and grain, enough for you to eat and drink for a lifetime, why did you waste Daddy's hard work and ran back overnight?! ”

A panicked and trembling voice sounded in the Dusk Mansion.

"Open the door!"

"Okay~, let's talk about it first. You can't hit your daddy on the head, there are gods on your head! If you beat your father, you will be hacked by Lei Gong! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, open the door quickly! Believe it or not, I smashed the door! ”

"Good!"

The gate of the Hou Mansion opened with a bang.

I saw a fat old marquis wearing a bearskin coat, running out with a trembling fat body, and hurriedly gave Chu Tianxiu a sturdy bear hug.

"Son, I haven't seen you for a day, but I miss my father! How does King Ping treat your son-in-law? Just say it. If he treats you badly, Dad will scold him. ”

This old marquis has a ruddy face, covered in bear skin and satin, with a precious jade wrench in his hand, and a precious dragon pattern jade jue hanging from his waist.

Say he doesn't have any money, ghost letter?

He is Chu Yong, the father of Chu Tianxiu, the little Dusk Marquis, the master of the Dusk Marquis' Mansion, and the fifth generation of the Dusk Marquis.

Chu Tianxiu looked at the old faint marquis carefully, with a happy look on his face.

No heartache!

There is no deep remorse, let alone guilt and deep guilt.

Nothing.

Chu Tianxiu was very disappointed.

It's this stinky and shameless old guy who forced himself to go to the palace to be a son-in-law to pay off his debts.

"Son, why don't you speak. King Ping didn't treat you badly, did he? Look at you're white, your face is ruddy, you're sure you're full! ... Daddy won't leave you for dinner. There are no candles at home, so you can go back to Pingwangfu at night. ”

The old faint marquis seemed to be a little weak-hearted.

Xiao Duhou's favorite Nanhai Huanghuali Dragon Royal Nine Phoenix Arhat Bed was sold by him and exchanged for thousands of taels of silver as food money.

If the son wants to go home to sleep, he will definitely be discovered, and he will be angry and beat him.

"Dad, do you know what's wrong?"

Chu Tianxiu is colorful.

"Wrongdoing? What's wrong with Dad? ”

The old faint marquis was surprised and worried.

Chu Tianxiu was suddenly furious, pointed at the old faint marquis and said, "You knocked me out and gave it to King Ping as a son-in-law, and cut off the incense of our Chu family's marquis." You still don't know what to do? ”

The old faint Hou Chuyong was even more shocked and aggrieved: "Xiu'er, you forced your father to go to King Ping to borrow 100,000 taels of silver first!" Afterwards, the two of us were divided into three or seven, I was three and you were seven, and we took the money and got away with it.

Originally, I thought that the palace would ask for debts, and we would have to rely on it and not pay it back, and our family wouldn't be able to find the money anyway. It's just that I didn't expect the emperor to listen to the slander, and his brain was hot, and the holy decree gave you the Shangping Palace's money to pay off the debt.

The emperor's holy decree, do you dare not listen to it, I was forced to do it as a last resort when I stunned you, can I be blamed for this?! ”

"I forced you to borrow money?"

Chu Tianxiu suddenly choked.

He also divided 70,000 taels of silver, why didn't he remember, where did this large sum of silver go?

He's a little confused in his head!

In this way, it is the "little faint marquis" himself who is dying?!

He just crossed over yesterday and didn't get all the memories of "Little Dusk Hou".

He remembered all the things that were presumptuous and enjoyable. But there are some bad memories that are responsible, and don't want to think about them, but they are blurred, as if they have been completely forgotten.

This is the legend... Selective amnesia of the wealthy?

Chu Yong, the old dusk, complained, and suddenly found that Chu Tianxiu looked confused, as if he had forgotten that he had forced his father to go to the Ping Wangfu to borrow money.

Chu Yong immediately figured it out, slapped his thigh, and wailed, "Oops, Xiu'er!" It can't be that Dad is too heavy and beats you stupid with a stick, right? Dad can't stand you, hurry up and let King Ping go to the palace to ask for a doctor and cure you! ”

"It's okay, it's just selective amnesia, it's a trivial matter!"

Chu Tianxiu waved his hand distraughtly, "Dad, let's talk about business."

It's too serious... The Dull Mansion is my only seedling, I am a son-in-law, and the thousand-year-old incense that our Duhou Mansion has inherited from the Chu State to the present day is not broken? !

Dad, you didn't think about this serious problem before you knocked me with a stuffy stick and sent it to Pingwangfu?! ”

"Dad, I have someone to inherit the incense, isn't it just your little dusk! After my father, I died, and a son surnamed Chu sent me to the end, and my father was worthy of my ancestors. ”

The old faint marquis Chu Yong was very surprised, glared at him and said angrily: "It's you, you have entered the Pingwang Mansion, and your descendants will all be surnamed Li in the future, and the incense of our Chu family will be cut off, and the one surnamed Li will give you a funeral if you die."

You unscrupulous descendant, scum of the Chu family, you should reflect on this serious problem yourself! What's the matter with me, Daddy? ”

"You...!"

Chu Tianxiu's eyes widened.

What kind of divine logic is this great wonder of the old dusk?

He was so clumsy that he didn't know how to refute it.

When the two of them glared at each other angrily, ready to scold each other.

But I saw a group of strong men running in the princely alley.

Led by a fifty or sixty-year-old landlord wearing a thick jacket, he led dozens of family members with sticks in their hands, and ran to the gate of the Duan Hou Mansion panting in the wind and snow.

As soon as Zu'er saw that the posture of this group of people was wrong, he immediately guarded in front of his uncle, and he dragged a pair of small iron fists like a little tiger, staring at this group of family members who suddenly rushed in.

"Old Dusk Hou, Little Dusk Hou, you two are not old thieves of things! You borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the palace of the king of Ping, and then you took your sons to pay off the debt. But why don't you pay back the 100,000 taels of silver you owe to my Shen Mansion?

Could it be that my Shen Mansion is easy to bully, and it must be treated equally! Either don't pay it back, or you pay it back all together. How much you have paid back King Ping, you have to pay back my Shen Mansion, not a word is missing!"

When the rich man saw that Chu Yong and Chu Tianxiu, father and son, were at the door of the house, he immediately rushed forward and scolded angrily.

"Shen Dafu, you are old and confused, I don't have two sons! What do you mean by letting my family Xiu'er enter your Shen Mansion and rob it from the Pingwang Mansion by yourself, and come to my Duhou Mansion to make trouble? ”

The old faint Hou Chuyong was also annoyed.

Chu Tianxiu looked at the rich man with a large group of family members menacing to collect debts, and vaguely felt that the rich man who took the lead was a little impressed.

Who is this rich man of the land?

But my memory was vague, and I couldn't remember who it was for a while.

Forget it, most of them are nobodies, no matter.

According to the statement of the rich man, in addition to the 100,000 taels of the Pingwang Mansion, the Duhou Mansion also owes a large amount of debt to the rich man's family.

He was a little worried.

Tomorrow, he is going to go to the palace to cry and persuade the emperor to change his decree and let Li Yu marry into the Dull Mansion. But just by solving the Pingwang Mansion, the Shen family's debt doesn't seem to be able to be solved!

"I have an IOU written by Xiao Duhou in my hand!" The Duhou Mansion borrowed 100,000 taels of silver from the Shen Mansion, with a monthly interest of one penny. ’。 If you don't pay back the money tonight, I will enter the palace tomorrow and sue the royal court! ”

The rich man held a roll of vermilion bamboo slips in his hand and shouted angrily.

The old faint Hou Chuyong's face was thicker than the copper wall, and his face was full of disdain, "Tell me, the IOU says that you owe 100,000 taels, but it doesn't say when you will pay it back." Look at you stingy, you borrowed such a little money and came to the door every day to collect debts, you are too narrow-minded! ”

"Is it easy for me to earn money as a merchant? I've seen shameless, but I've never seen you so shameless. borrowed money and didn't pay it back, but he still had the face to brag and show off. In this world, is there still a heavenly principle? ”

The rich man was almost stunned, and waved his hand to a group of family members, "All block the door of the Dull Marquis, scold me, morning and night, until the Duhou Mansion pays back the money!" ”
