The first year of the red kite, spring.

The court's suppression of the rivers and lakes became increasingly serious, and the entire Tianyuan Dynasty seemed to have begun to move in the direction of emphasizing literature over military force.

On this day, as usual, Xia Luo was telling Xia Sichou a story.

This time the story he told was a cool story of a waste wood marrying into a big family and becoming a son-in-law, and then awakening the golden finger to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

After the story was told for two hours, Xia Sichou was slapped in the face by the protagonist of the story.

When the excitement passed, he seemed to have thought of something.

"Speaking of sons-in-law, it seems that we also have one in our family."

"It's your eldest sister's father-in-law, right?"

Xia Sichou's mouth is still a little impressed.

Not long after the Spring Festival, he joined the Xia family and became a glorious son-in-law.

It is said that the house used to be quite wide, but I don't know why it has declined.

As for why he wanted to join the Xia family, he didn't know this.

Shaking his head, Xia Luo didn't think that this son-in-law could have the ability of those sons-in-law in the online articles in his previous life.

"It's my eldest brother-in-law, he made my eldest sister unhappy a few days ago, punished him for closing it tightly, and then the third brother asked me to secretly bring him food every day."

Xia Sichou's father, Xia Xiangwen, has a total of three children, the eldest is a daughter, and the other is his third brother.

Although there are eight siblings, only these two are the same father and mother.

As he spoke, he pointed to the lunch box beside him.

"So you haven't brought him food yet?"

"yes, I thought it wouldn't be too late to listen to the story for a while before sending it away, and then it would be evening if I wasn't paying attention."

Good boy, can you forget this kind of thing?

Presumably, the poor son-in-law is already hungry with his chest against his back, right?

"You bear child, don't hurry up and deliver food to your eldest brother-in-law, I'll starve to death later."

Hearing this, Xia Sichou shrank his neck after looking at the night outside.

"The place where my eldest brother-in-law is being held is very gloomy, I'm afraid."

There was no way, Xia Luo had no choice but to lead Xia Sichou towards the so-called small black house.

Although I haven't had much contact with this so-called son-in-law, I can imagine that the other party is a coward.

After all, in this male-inferior society, women can still be bullied like this.

But it's relieved to think about it, there is no such thing as male superiority and female inferiority in the world, male inferiority and female inferiority, to put it bluntly, it is the dignity of high personal value and the humility of low personal value.

In this society that relies on physical strength to realize personal value, men naturally seem to be a head taller than women.

With the development of society, this phenomenon is bound to become less and less.

When he walked to the door of the small black house, Xia Sichou hid behind Xia Luo.

"Brother, you go and send it."

Xia Luo knew that this little guy also realized that he had done something wrong, and he was afraid that his brother-in-law would complain about him, so he was embarrassed to deliver food.

However, this is just a gesture for Xia Luo, and there is no need to refuse.

With the lunch box in hand, Xia Luo walked into the small black house.

The room wasn't as cold as it seemed, but it was a little simple.

Simple desk and bed, and a little simple candlelight.

At this time, the son-in-law did not look hungry and cold as he imagined, but read by candlelight with a calm face.

"Uncle, that kid Xia Sichou was greedy for fun with me today, and forgot to bring you food, don't blame me."

This uncle's name is Liu Anran, he slowly put down the book in his hand, opened the lunch box silently, and looked at Xia Luo.

"Is there any wine?"

Xia Luo blinked.

He really has wine.

Because his cheap master hasn't come back until now.

And the wine and meat that he gave to his master for the last time were also brought back, and the meat was eaten, and the wine had not moved.

So he nodded.

"Two bottles of Changle wine, seven years old."

"Can you lend me a drink?"

"Yes."

After Xia Luo sent Xia Sichou back to the inner courtyard, he went directly to his room to bring the two bottles of wine.

Liu Anran didn't know where to turn out two worn-out cups, and after washing them with wine a little, he poured two glasses.

"Can you have a drink with me?"

This son-in-law is actually only seventeen years old, and Xia Luo is sixteen, and he will be seventeen after his birthday this year, and the two of them are the same age.

And he is a son-in-law, Xia Lu is the apprentice of Lord Wei, and there is not much difference between the two in terms of identity.

So, there is no gap between the two of them.

Xia Luo didn't feel uncomfortable staying with such a person, so he sat down and had a drink with each other.

"Why do you suddenly want to drink on this big night? Isn't it because he was punished into this little dark house and wants to use alcohol to kill his sorrows? ”

"What's there to use wine to dispel sorrows, it's just that you feel the cold and use the power of wine to drive away the cold."

"You mean, being punished here doesn't make you feel sad?"

"No, after all, even in the emperor's harem, isn't there a cold palace?"

"The cold palace is for women, and you are locked up by women."

Xia Luo was speechless, and after drinking a glass of wine again, he noticed a wry smile on Liu Anran's face.

"It's all the same, most of those palace maids are for their own family and have become palace maids, while I am for the sake of my family and have become a son-in-law, what difference can there be?

Since there is no difference, they can all be punished in the cold palace, and I am locked up in this hut, and I can still eat meat and drink wine, what sorrow can I have? ”

It turns out that this is still an optimist.

Xia Luo smiled: "You can see it, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank another glass.

Xia Luo: "But think about it carefully, the emperor is really happy, there are 3,000 harem beauties to serve him alive, and there are so many beauties to accompany him when he dies." ”

"That's why they made such a big fuss in order to be this emperor."

"What's going on?"

"You don't know?"

Xia Luo was a little puzzled, his daily life was to eat, drink and have fun, and he really didn't pay much attention to the rumors outside.

"I don't know."

"Hmph, I don't know, I'll tell you a little bit, before Emperor Chikite ascended the throne, his two imperial brothers suddenly died of illness, and even his Lao Tzu, who had been the emperor for more than ten years, died overnight, do you say it's a coincidence."

Xia Luo was speechless, isn't this just a clear statement.

He was not surprised at all by such a thing, after all, mortals just like to chase power, and the royal family, as the peak of power, is the most ferocious in chasing.

"It's the most ruthless emperor's family!"

"Not only that, I heard that the newly appointed emperor thinks of ways to suppress the rivers and lakes every day, and no one knows what he wants to do."

"What can I do, don't I just feel invincible, and then I feel that I don't need anything like martial arts, and I feel that the role of civil officials is greater than that of martial arts."

"Do you mean, did he do it with good intentions?"

"I don't know if it's out of good intentions, but I hope that future generations will open the content of the historian's account and not sigh and go astray."

Xia Luo and this son-in-law chatted more and more, from the struggle for the rights of the royal family, to the governance of the country, and finally even to the equality of men and women.

The wine that Master Wei drank had great stamina, and the two people who were too strong to drink gradually sank into drunkenness.

I don't know how much time passed, and the two of them fell asleep like this.

And Xia Luo had a long dream.
