Weng and his son-in-law sat in the room, and from time to time a young child in Tsing Yi was probing his brain outside the door.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Look at what, go and urge the bride to come back, just say that the new aunt is impatient." ”

The toddler stuck out his tongue and was no more.

Dr. Qin got up and walked outside the door, muttering a few words to someone, and after a while, a servant girl came over with a square wooden plate, on which ten small ingots of silver were shining.

"This is fifty taels of silver, please Zhou Gongzi smile." Old man Qin said earnestly.

Zhou Xuan has a little understanding of the value of ancient silver, roughly speaking, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, and one penny is equivalent to five jiao of RMB, that is to say, one tael of silver is worth five hundred yuan, and fifty taels of silver is twenty-five thousand yuan.

"Master Yue, your ill-gotten gains, my son-in-law won't touch them." Zhou Xuan has never been an official, but he has seen a lot of this honest man on TV, and he imitates it so much that he is awe-inspiring.

"Oh, how can this be ill-gotten gains, they are all the accumulation of old decay for many years, innocent, the old decay wants to negotiate a deal with Zhou Gongzi, as long as Gongzi agrees, then the silver is yours."

"Deal, what deal?"

Old man Qin sat on the embroidery pier in front of the bed, lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it from Gongzi Zhou, Lao Yu's recruitment of son-in-law this time is indeed fake, but Gongzi will not suffer a loss, you only need to be a fake son-in-law for half a month, and after half a month, you leave with the silver, how about it?" ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "So I can't have sex with Miss Qinque?" ”

Old man Qin said, "Of course. ”

"No, absolutely not!" Zhou Xuan said categorically: "How can I sell my right to first marriage for a mere fifty taels of silver, you know, it is very discriminatory for people who marry for the second time to find a partner, you are a Xingfu who has harmed me all my life." ”

Dr. Qin couldn't understand what Zhou Xuan was saying, and when he heard that tone of disagreement, he added: "How about the one hundred taels of silver, the official salary of the old man for a year is less than one hundred taels." ”

"10,000 taels is not good, rich and noble can't be lewd, I don't understand why you want to fake a marriage, is a person like me not worthy of your daughter? Oh - I see, did your daughter have a lifelong engagement with a scholar in the back garden, and she was pregnant, but the scholar ran away, so you asked me to cover your shame, yes or no? ”

Zhou Xuan said indignantly, making the old man Qin so angry that his beard trembled, and his voice trembled: "You, you spew blood, how can there be such an ugly thing in my innocent Qin family!" You also saw it when I visited the church, my son Qin Que has a waist as promised, slender and slender, how can he be pregnant! ”

Zhou Xuan thought about it and asked, "Then why?" ”

Dr. Qin calmed down and said, "Let's just say it, this year is the triennial draft year of the Tang Palace, and the draft envoy will come to Jiangzhou tomorrow——"

"Wait a minute, what's the draft?" Zhou Xuan knew about the NBA draft, but he didn't expect that Nantang also had a draft.

"It's the Tang Kingdom court draft, once every three years, the old palace maids are released, and the newly selected palace maids are on duty in the palace."

Zhou Xuan said: "This is a good thing, once your daughter enters the palace, if you don't do it, you will be a concubine, you will be the ruler of the country, haha." ”

Dr. Qin couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Master Zhou, you don't know, that little Zhou Hou is jealous—"

"Wow, you slandered the Queen." Zhou Xuan shouted.

Dr. Qin was so frightened that his face turned white.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, who is our son-in-law, who is with whom, the words don't spread to the six ears, Lord Yuezhang continued." ”

Dr. Qin looked at this virtuous son-in-law gratefully, and said, "Anyway, Your Majesty has not set up a concubine for so many years, and besides, Your Majesty is also a sixtieth year, this and this, does the virtuous son-in-law understand?" ”

"Clearly, there is no future in the palace, three years of youth have been wasted, no wonder there are so many people getting married today, it turned out that they were in a hurry to marry their daughters before the draft came, but why did Lord Yue-in-law want to fake a marriage, and the son-in-law is also a talent."

Dr. Qin seemed to have a good impression of Zhou Xuan, and said in his heart: "The virtuous son-in-law doesn't know, she-"

A stern female voice came from outside the door: "Let the old woman come and talk to him." ”

Zhou Xuan raised his eyes and saw that under the light of the lantern under the eaves, he saw a tall and fat woman, combed in a high bun, wearing a long persimmon silk skirt with a collar, surrounded by several servant women, blocking the door with great momentum.

Dr. Qin hurriedly got up, lowered his eyebrows and said smoothly, "Lady, you are here." ”

It turned out to be the mother-in-law, I didn't see it when I visited the hall just now, look at this posture, the old man was afraid, Zhou Xuan also got up and bowed and said, "The son-in-law meets the mother-in-law." ”

"Don't dare to be." The mother-in-law walked in domineeringly, a pair of fish bubble eyes looked at Zhou Xuan with contempt, but she reproached Old Man Qin: "I asked you to find someone to fool you up, but you found such a person who would cause trouble, and you couldn't do anything at all." ”

Zhou Xuan saw that the old man was deflated, so he said righteously: "My mother-in-law's words are bad, the sages said that the white head is as new as before, what this person wants is a fate, the son-in-law and the father-in-law are the same, and the father-in-law cherishes the talent of the son-in-law, so he will match Qin Que to me, when the son-in-law rides around the street, the neighbors praise the father-in-law for his vision and will pick his son-in-law." ”

Dr. Qin loves to listen to this, and his heart is warm, and he feels that he and this virtuous son-in-law are really familiar at first sight, and said: "Lady, this Zhou Gongzi is indeed talented, but the poem just now came with his mouth open, appropriate and elegant, depending on the husband, simply——"

The tall and fat Mrs. Qin snorted angrily: "What, you old thing really wants to marry your daughter to this person of unknown origin, when my nephew comes, how can you explain it to him!" ”

His face turned to Zhou Xuan, and he said very unceremoniously: "The old woman told you the truth, my family has been with her cousin since she was a child, and she set up a summer day this year (that is, yesterday) to welcome her relatives, but I didn't expect the palace draft to come to Jiangzhou a month early, so I asked you to replace it, and when the palace draft envoy left Jiangzhou, the marriage was dissolved, and my Qin family has nothing to do with you." ”

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "So that's the case, it seems that the atmosphere of the Southern Tang Dynasty is still relatively open, and I don't care about any second marriage, but this Qin Que I want to decide, I have already visited the church and married, and I am already my Zhou Xuan's wife, how can I be married by her bullshit cousin, no way!" ”

Zhou Xuan looked at his mother-in-law with a smile, knowing that if he wanted to really marry Qin Que, he had to pass the level of his mother-in-law first, and he had a way to deal with this kind of middle-aged and elderly woman.
