Chapter Twenty-Three: The Marriage Contract Is Made
Listening to Qiu Yue's words, Xu Chenan's heart was also beating wildly, but he still pretended to be calm and said:
"What's so hard about the cave house? After worshipping heaven and earth, drinking a glass of wine in the room, and two people lying on the bed to sleep, isn't it a cave room? ”
Xu Chenan could only pretend to be ignorant, after all, he couldn't tell the little maid that he not only would, but also had a lot of postures.
The learning materials stored in the hard disk in my last life are simply vast...
Qiu Yue listened to Xu Chen'an's words, and laughed directly with Xu Chen'an's legs.
"Young master, where are you talking about the cave room, after drinking wine and sleeping together, aren't we in the cave room now?" Qiu Yue asked with a smile.
Xu Chenan could only continue to pretend to be stupid.
"Yes, didn't you say you wanted to teach me the cave house, isn't it orthodox now? Rest assured, Young Master Ben has already learned. ”
After Xu Chenan finished speaking, he turned around, hugged the quilt, and pretended to snore.
"Young master, what you said is not right, is it better to let Qiu Yue teach you the cave room? If nothing else, you will marry the eldest lady of the Ji family in a few days, and if you don't know how to cave the house, you will be laughed at by the young lady in the future. Qiu Yue gently pushed Xu Chen'an's leg.
And Xu Chen'an's snoring sounded even louder.
"The young master is asleep? Also, the young master must be tired today..."
Qiu Yue whispered, and then hugged Xu Chen'an's leg and fell asleep.
When Qiu Yue's breathing was even, and she had obviously fallen into a deep sleep, Xu Chen'an stopped snoring, and then stared at the curtain above the bed.
Now Xu Chenan sighs in his heart that it is difficult for these lowly women to live in this world.
A little girl like Qiuyue has to serve people all her life. And there is a high probability that you will not be happy for the rest of your life.
In this world, the lives of the poor and even the common people are ill-fated, not to mention slaves like Qiu Yue.
Life in the future is even darker.
Xu Chen'an felt very sorry for his personal servant.
I don't know if it's because Xu Chen'an's body lives with a soul from modern people, or if Qiuyue, the little girl, is the only person in this huge Xu Mansion who really treats herself and cares about herself.
In short, Xu Chenan wants to make Qiuyue's life no longer miserable in the future.
Thinking about the mess in his head, Xu Chenan quickly fell asleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and when Xu Chen'an woke up the next morning, the autumn moon beside him had already disappeared, and he only heard the sound of sweeping the floor in the yard.
Xu Chenan got up and got dressed, and then pushed the door out of the room.
Qiu Yue, who was cleaning the yard at this time, said to Xu Chenan with a smile on her face: "Young master, you are up, I will go to get hot water for you to wash your face." ”
With that, the little maid ran into the kitchen.
Soon Qiu Yue walked towards Xu Chen'an with a wooden basin filled with hot water and a towel on her shoulder.
After Xu Chen'an washed his face, Qiu Yue took out a bamboo tube and a toothbrush made of wild boar brown hair, and brushed his teeth with tooth powder.
Xu Chen'an was served by Qiu Yue, and after washing up, Qiu Yue brought out two bowls of rice porridge from the kitchen, as well as a steamed bun and a plate of pickles.
Xu Chenan looked at the rice porridge in front of him, and stirred it with a spoon, only to find that there was a thin layer of rice at the bottom of the bowl.
Xu Chenan looked at Qiuyue's bowl again, there was only clear rice soup, not even a grain of rice.
Xu Chenan didn't say anything, just changed the porridge in front of him and the porridge in front of Qiu Yue, and then broke the only steamed bun from the middle and handed it to Qiu Yue.
"You still have to work and eat more. I don't have a good appetite, just drink some rice soup. ”
Xu Chenan couldn't help but stuff the steamed buns into Qiu Yue's hands, and then ate the steamed buns with rice soup.
"The young master is so kind to me... It is really a blessing to meet such a young master. Qiu Yue thought movingly in her heart.
"Don't worry, these rice, flour, grain, oil and silver, I will go to Hefu today to ask for it." Xu Chenan said to Qiu Yue.
Qiu Yue took a small bite of the steamed bun in her hand, her eyes were shining, and she nodded heavily.
After breakfast, Xu Chenan went back to the room, took out a copy of "Spring and Autumn" from the bookshelf in the room and began to read.
Xu Chen'an's understanding of this world is becoming clearer and clearer, and in this era, he is almost in the Han Dynasty on the earth.
So the poems of the Tang and Song dynasties that I carried in my head did not appear. This is also my biggest reliance.
Now his identity is just an abandoned son of the Xu family, and he will be reduced to a son-in-law.
You must know that the status of a son-in-law in this era is comparable to that of a slave, and sometimes even worse.
Therefore, if Xu Chenan wants to make himself strong, he must have a civil position and status, as well as strong strength.
"Now I am a God-given Wensheng, and according to the rules of the Wenfu, I am already a God-given child. You don't need to take the children's exam, and the next step is to take the Xiucai exam directly. Xu Chenan was flipping through the book and thinking secretly in his heart.
"It's time to find an opportunity to mention my position..."
"Fortunately, there is no rule in this world that sons-in-law cannot participate in the imperial examination... Otherwise, it's really a Muggle. Xu Chenan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you can continue to participate in the imperial examination, as long as the Tang and Song poems in your mind are still useful, then you will not always be at the bottom in this world, and you will not always be the target of being bullied.
"The future is promising..."Xu Chenan closed the book and breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Just as Xu Chen'an was about to continue to cultivate the Black Rhino Body Refining Technique through his talents, Qiu Yue hurriedly ran into the house.
"Young Master, Madame has sent someone to find you and ask you to come over. It should be that your marriage with the eldest lady of the Ji family has eyebrows. Qiu Yue said happily.
"Is it finally here?"
Xu Chen sighed in peace of mind, the little girl in front of him was still stupidly happy for herself. I didn't know that I was going to be a son-in-law.
However, Xu Chenan didn't show anything, and told Qiu Yue to stay in the courtyard, and then followed the servant outside the door.
Xu Chen'an followed the servant to a luxurious courtyard, and did not enter the main hall, but entered the side hall, after Xu Chen'an entered the side hall alone, he understood at a glance that this side hall was specially used for eating.
"Although this Xu family has been demoted to a marquis, the family is still very thick..."Xu Chen sighed with peace of mind.
Then I remembered the shabby small courtyard where I lived with Qiuyue, and then looked at the luxurious courtyard in front of me, and even a side hall dedicated to eating...
Xu Chen'an's face didn't show anything, at this time, there was a dazzling array of luxurious breakfasts on the table, all kinds of pastries and side dishes, and even many types of porridge.
At this moment, the old lady of the Xu family, as well as the Xu family's housewife, the Xu family, are dining.
Seeing Xu Chen'an coming in, Xu said enthusiastically:
"Has Chen An eaten? If you haven't eaten, come and eat some. ”
And the old lady of the Xu family drank the porridge slowly, and didn't even look at Xu Chenan.
Xu Chenan shook his head slightly.
Seeing Xu Chen'an's appearance, Xu Shi was not annoyed, but continued to smile and said: "Chen'an, I have good news to tell you today. ”
But Xu's heart was roaring: "The little doesn't know how to be polite!" It is worthy of being a wild seed raised in the countryside! ”
Xu Chenan heard Xu's heart clearly, and his face was still indifferent. Just listen to Xu Shi continue:
"Today, Xu Laosan brought back the news, the Ji family of Meng Zezhou has agreed to marry the eldest lady to you, and the dowry has been received, you kid is really a blessing, you can marry the eldest lady of the Ji family. Your wedding with the eldest lady of the Ji family is scheduled for three days later. ”
The Xu family was praising the good of the Ji family on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly complaining: "The Ji family has been declining day by day, and the eldest lady of the Ji family is even more blind and dumb waste, a waste person still wants to marry my Xu family, how can my two precious sons marry a waste person!" ”
