Chapter 14 Divorce
Approaching Jinling, among the team, the knights led by them glanced at the tall Jinling city wall.
Turned over and dismounted and came to the carriage in the middle of the team, knelt down on one knee and asked: "Lord Wang, the Jingshi has arrived, do you want to rest outside the city?" β
"Then let's rest before heading into the city."
In the carriage, a white hand reached out and opened the curtain.
A man in his prime jumped out of the carriage.
The man was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe, with a white face and a pair of heroic eyes.
He stretched his waist, looked at the Jinling city wall and sighed: "I haven't been to the capital for several years, I never thought that now this city has changed owners." β
After speaking, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes unconsciously.
Then, the man turned around and came to another carriage and said, "Yu'er, it's time to get off the car and rest, and we'll enter the city later." β
"Hmm."
In the carriage, a female voice as crisp as a yellow warbler sounded.
Then a woman with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, about twenty-eight years old, dressed in a pale blue lady's long skirt, lifted the door curtain and got out of the carriage.
Although the woman is still young, her eyes like autumn water reveal an indifference like seeing through the world.
This is a woman with a story.
......
......
Chen Kan spent an afternoon walking through the entire house.
By the way, I calculated how much silver it would cost to repair the house.
In the end, I got a result, that is, a lot!
It's not that Chen Kan really can't calculate how much money it will cost to renovate the house.
The main thing is that the monetary system of the Ming Dynasty is disordered, which is really difficult to calculate.
Since Hong Wuye invented the treasure banknote, it is like opening Pandora's box.
Hong Wuye doesn't know what socioeconomics is.
Seeing that just a piece of paper can be exchanged for countless materials.
Yang Tian laughed and said: "Isn't it money, Lao Tzu has it!" β
Eventually, the situation of indiscriminate issuance of treasure money inevitably appeared.
As a direct consequence, bad money drives out good money.
The people buried the gold, silver and copper coins in their hands into the pigsty, and then took the treasure money issued by the imperial court to buy supplies.
As more and more treasure money flowed into the market, the market of Daming was chaotic.
What followed was the collapse of the Ming monetary system, and the credit of the imperial court was completely bankrupt.
The treasure money has also become a worthless piece of waste paper.
Therefore, the trading method of the people of the Ming Dynasty today is more to choose barter.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
Importantly, Chen Kan is now penniless.
Even eating has to rely on Fang Xiaoru, let alone spending money, let alone repairing the house.
"Alas, worried!"
Out of the old mansion of the Hou Mansion, Chen Kan walked by the Qinhuai River, sighing as he walked.
With a sad face, he looks like a poor ghost who has just bought a new house but has no money to decorate it.
When the sun set, Chen Kan also walked from Xicheng to Nancheng.
But as soon as he stepped into Chase Street, Chen Kan noticed that something was wrong.
The entire street was cordoned off.
Chen Kan's first reaction was, could it be that Zhu Di repented and sent someone to copy Fang Xiaoru's house?
But after a closer look, Chen Kan felt that it didn't look like it.
It wasn't until Chen Kan saw the two big flags at the door of Fang Xiaoru's mansion that he finally came to his senses.
"King Zhu Jixi of Jin, how could he be in the capital?"
Chen Kan was a little surprised, wasn't King Jin in a fiefdom, when did he enter Beijing?
If you enter Beijing, you will enter Beijing, if you don't go to Zhu Di to worship the mountain, why do you come to Fang Xiaoru?
With a stomach full of doubts, Chen Kan broke through the blockade, came to the gate of the Fang Mansion, and said to the two soldiers guarding the gate of the Fang Mansion: "Trouble, you are blocking me." β
Liangjia Soldier: "??? β
One of the soldiers put the horizontal knife in his hand against Chen Kan's chest and said, "The Jin Palace's affairs are avoided. β
Chen Kan frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "I want to go in." β
Another soldier asked, "This is your home?" β
Chen Kan shook his head: "No, but I live here." β
"You live here, what's your name?"
Chen Kan's patience gradually ran out, and he said expressionlessly: "Chen Kan." β
Chen Kan decided that if he said his name, they would not let him in.
Then don't blame him, turn around and leave!
Those who know the times are junjie, and they can't beat them, what else can they do?
"Chen Kan, you are Chen Kan?"
The two armor soldiers glanced at each other, and one of them quickly turned around and ran into the Fang Mansion.
Chen Kan was stunned, am I so famous?
The other soldier withdrew his sword and said, "Wait a minute! β
After a while, the armor soldier went and returned, and said to Chen Kan, "You can go in." β
Chen Kan entered the gate of the Fang Mansion in confusion.
Then at a glance, he saw the woman next to the man sitting next to Fang Xiaoru who was sitting on the main seat.
"Such a beautiful woman."
Secretly praising in his heart, Chen Kan walked quickly to Fang Xiaoru's side and asked in a low voice, "Teacher, what's the situation?" β
Fang Xiaoru said expressionlessly: "It has something to do with you." β
"Something to do with me?"
"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The woman got up and said a blessing to Chen Kanying.
Chen Kan was a little inexplicable, and wanted to ask: "Beauty, do we know each other?" β
"You are?"
The woman was stunned and said in surprise: "Brother Chen doesn't recognize the little sister?" β
"Do I have to recognize you?"
Chen Kan kept thinking about it, and only felt that the woman in front of him was indeed a little familiar.
But who she was, Chen Kan really didn't remember.
Hearing this, the woman's face instantly turned cold.
looked at Chen Kan and said lightly: "Looking at Brother Chen's appearance, it seems that he has never taken the marriage contract between you and me to heart, and the little woman still feels guilty about making such a move against the order of the elder, but now it seems that the little woman is self-inflicted." β
"Oh~, you... You... You, you, you, you are Fu Yu! β
Chen Kan suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that the woman was a little familiar, it turned out to be his fiancΓ©e who had not seen her for eight years.
Since Fu Youde was given death in the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Fu Yu, who was only eight years old, was taken away by Zhu Jixi to raise him, and at that time, Chen Kan was only ten years old.
I haven't seen it for eight years, and Chen Kan can recognize that there are ghosts!
Fu Yu said: "Yes, can Brother Chen remember?" β
Chen Kan showed apologies on his face and said: "I recognized it, I recognized it, mainly because of the eighteen changes in the female university, the changes are too great, I am clumsy for a while, Sister Yu is not strange." β
As he spoke, Chen Kan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
What does it mean to act against the orders of the Lord?
What is she going to do to herself?
Chen Kan asked, "I don't know if Sister Yu is here this time?" β
Before Fu Yu could answer, Zhu Jixi on the side stood up and said loudly: "Naturally, I came to withdraw from the marriage." β
"Divorce?"
Chen Kan's eyes narrowed, looked at Fu Yu and asked, "Sister Yu?" β
Fu Yu nodded: "Not bad." β
