"Hanxiu!" Shen Shijun grabbed his hand hard and couldn't believe what he heard.
Chu Hanqing also looked at him blankly, and then the hands hanging by his sides clenched into fists.
Jiang glanced at his master: "Hanqing wants to go, and you want to go too. It's hard for me to choose."
Chu Hanxiu, who knew their true intention of choosing someone to go to the Hou Mansion, said with several pairs of eyes: "First of all, the brother-in-law and the eldest brother have a deep friendship. The more the servant our family sends to the eldest brother, the more similar he is to the eldest brother, the better. Among the brothers, , I am most similar to my eldest brother."
"Secondly, I am more courageous. If my eldest brother encounters anything, I have the courage to do it."
Consuming the marriage for Chu Hanyun was something that could never be discovered by the Hou Mansion, so he said that he looked more like Chu Hanyun and could also do things for Chu Hanyun.
The reason he didn't choose him in his previous life was because when Jiang asked, he knew Chu Hanqing wanted to go, so he specifically said he didn't get along with his eldest brother and was pretending to be stupid.
But this time, he will fight hard.
In the previous life, I don’t know what happened to Chu Hanqing in the Hou Mansion. A few days before the Hou Mansion took action to deal with the Chu family, he jumped into a lake in the Hou Mansion and committed suicide.
Shen Shijun couldn't sit still anymore and walked to him: "Hanxiu, he speaks freely, please don't take it to heart, husband. The noble family of the Marquis must think carefully to avoid anything going wrong."
"Dad..." Chu Hanxiu called out in a low voice and pulled him, earning a glare from Shijun Shen.
But Jiang, who had originally planned to choose him, had already seen the approval in his master's eyes. Even if Shen Shijun came out to make amends, it would not change their decision.
Jiang said: "Ms. Jiang, please be humble for Hanxiu. Both the master and I think Hanxiu is very suitable. The Hou Mansion needs someone urgently, so Hanxiu will go back and pack her things, and we will leave for Kyoto tomorrow morning."
"Husband!" Shijun Shen still didn't want Chu Hanxiu to go to the Hou Mansion.
Chu Hanxiu took his hand with a smile on her face: "Father, my father-in-law, my son is now married to the Hou Mansion. I wonder if the dowry my father-in-law has prepared for his son over the years can also be used." Take it with you?"
"After all, my son is from an official family. If he doesn't have any dowry, the people in the Marquis's mansion will definitely look down on our family."
Magistrate Chu and Jiang were stunned.
dowry?
What dowry?
They selected people for one purpose, to consummate Chu Hanyun's marriage, and they were not prepared to pay the dowry.
However, in the eyes of the people in the room, isn't it just what Chu Hanxiu said? If a brother from a concubine goes to serve as a servant in the Hou Mansion, he can't get nothing, right?
Jiang came to his senses and curled up his lips: "Of course you have this dowry, but you have to go to the Marquis Mansion tomorrow and don't have time to count it. After a while, it will be ready and put it with your father, waiting for you. Once you return to Pingyang, it will be the same if you take it with you."
I have to believe you to be a ghost. If you let my father live, I'm afraid there won't even be a hair on your head!
Chu Hanxiu looked at County Magistrate Chu with admiration: "There is no need to make it so complicated. My son knows that he is a servant of the king and cannot do as much as his wife, so just convert it into cash."
"I remember my father-in-law said that every brother-in-law in our family has six hundred taels of silver in his chest when he gets married, as well as all kinds of furniture, boxes, clothes, and two sets of hair."
"These are all converted into cash, which is almost one thousand two hundred taels. My son can't carry such a heavy amount of silver, so I'll ask my father and my father-in-law to exchange it for silver notes."
Chen Shijun, Zhao Shijun, Chu Hanming and Hanming were all shocked by his words and looked at Jiang in disbelief.
Who in the back house doesn't know that the Jiang family only treats the brothers and boys who serve the king as slaves. If they are not careful, they will be ordered by him to set the rules. How can he be so generous?
Magistrate Chu, who barely paid any attention to the back house, was looked at by him, his back straightened a little unconsciously, and he asked Jiang: "Is it true that this is the number of concubine brothers in our house who marry?"
Jiang was smiling but was about to speak——
"Yes, yes, father, you don't know how good my father-in-law is. When he took us to attend the wedding banquet of Mr. Liu's stepbrother, he felt that Mr. Liu's step-in-law was too much. He only gave it to his first wife's stepbrother. This is such a small dowry, and I said it specifically in front of many ladies and husbands in the county."
Jiang's teeth are almost broken!
The first time he felt that this concubine was annoying was because he had told the truth in front of many husbands and wives, but he had never intended to keep it.
The quality of the dowry depends on the inside. If he used some bad things to fool him, it would be worse than half a star.
County Magistrate Chu made the decision: "In that case, let's follow this number."
"Thank you, father. Thank you, my great-grandfather." Chu Hanxiu gave her whole show, pinching her thigh, with a faint glimmer of water in her eyes. "I'll say goodbye to my son. I hope my great-grandfather will take care of himself."
"Well," County Magistrate Chu felt that he was a good concubine, and said to Jiang, "Give him the dowry money. Time is tight, so there is no need to go through those false gifts."
Jiang's fingers almost tore the edges of her sleeves, "Yes, Lin, go get one thousand two hundred taels of silver notes and give them to Brother Xiu."
"yes."
Once the matter was settled, the group quickly dispersed.
Chu Hanxiu looked at the banknote in his hand and couldn't stop smiling.
These are his guarantee funds in troubled times. When he arrives in Kyoto, he will look for opportunities to buy mules, carriages, and food.
Then he came back to pick up his father and younger brother, and hid them in a sparsely populated place before the trouble came.
As long as Helian Yao is in charge, there shouldn't be any peaceful place left like in the previous life, and they will be able to survive~
After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed.
As soon as Chu Hanxiu turned around, she heard Chu Hanqing beside her saying angrily: "Second brother has never loved any powerful family, so why are we fighting again this time?"
Chu Hanxiu folded the banknotes and put them in a place close to her body. "With my brother's temper, you won't be able to ask for his favor in the backyard of the county government office. If you go to the Hou Mansion, you will be so suppressed that you won't even dare to breathe."
"Then you -" That's fine. Chu Hanqing was so angry that she almost said this.
But I quickly realized that the second brother was good. In the past, when the eldest brother was not married, there was nothing he could do about the second brother.
But that was the Hou Mansion. If he missed this time, he would never have such a good opportunity again!
Chu Hanqing's eyes were red with anger, and he said angrily: "Second brother, you are so hypocritical. It's a waste of time for me to trust you so much!"
"Now that you have taken one thousand two hundred taels of dowry silver and entered the Marquis' Mansion, you are the most proud of the three of us!" As he said that, he turned around and left, as if he never wanted to deal with Chu Hanxiu again. appearance.
Looking at his back as he strode away, Chu Hanming walked over and whispered: "Second brother, don't be angry with third brother. He just... doesn't want to stay in the courtyard and wants to marry someone with a high family status."
"Well, I know. I'll go look for him tonight." He must go to the Hou Mansion.
After comforting Chu Hanming, Chu Hanxiu turned around and saw his father's face.
Yes, there is one more level to go.
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard where the father and son lived, Shen Shijun, who was already angry with him, sat on a chair with a tense face: "Do you know what you did today?"
"Don't you understand that I would rather be a wife of a poor family than a concubine of a noble family? Your father and I are an example. I live cautiously in this backyard, for fear of making my husband unhappy one day, so I can find an excuse to take advantage of it. sell away."
"You've always been smart, why were you dazzled by the wealth of the Marquis Mansion!"
His father never spoke harsh words, and now Chu Hanyu, who was angry and didn't understand why, didn't dare to speak. He stood aside and winked at Chu Hanxiu, asking him to wish for himself.
Chu Hanxiu had been waiting for this for a long time. After making sure that no one was around, he solemnly said: "Dad, have you noticed that I am different from ordinary people?"
This was when he used his supernatural powers to heal the wounds of his father and younger brother when he was escaping in his previous life. His father told him this without any surprise.
When the three of them had headaches and fever before, Chu Hanxiu also secretly used his powers.
His father gave birth to him and raised him. His eyes always fell on the two brothers. He didn't know when he discovered his superpower, but he never said anything about it.
Shen Shijun put his hand on the table and said, "What are you talking about?"
Chu Hanyu was confused: "Brother, what's different about you? Are you better looking than others? Are your skin fairer?"
Chu Hanxiu and Shen Shijun looked at their little son/brother who had been silly since he was a child, "Let's go out and play."
"Tell me, what do you think?" As soon as Chu Hanyu left, Shen Shijun looked at his brother.
Chu Hanxiu raised his hand and for the first time openly showed his superpower in front of Shen Shijun.
I saw a hazy milky white light on the fingertips of his slender white hands. He held Shen Shijun's hand and said, "Dad, how do you feel?"
Although Shen Shijun had already noticed it, he was still stunned when he saw it with his own eyes.
He looked at his brother, who was only born in ten months of pregnancy, and said in a dry voice: "It's very comfortable, from hands to shoulders, it's warm."
Chu Hanxiu, who had no intention of hiding it from him before doing this, took back his superpower and told him about the troubled times in his previous life, when they died one after another and he also died.
As for the fact that he came from the apocalypse, and that this time he was not going to be the servant of his brother-in-law Helian Yao, but to consummate the marriage for his eldest brother Chu Hanyu, Chu Hanxiu didn't say anything, so don't let his father pretend Too much stuff.
Shen Shijun didn't expect that things would turn out like this.
Three years later, the world was in chaos, and all three of them, father and son, died.
Now his Hanxiu wanted to use this innate power to try to see if he could cure Wu'an Hou. What he did was just to let his family live well.
Shen Shijun looked at Chu Hanxiu: "But, brother Xiu, what if it doesn't work?"
"What should I do if it doesn't work?"
Chu Hanxiu said: "If you don't succeed, you won't succeed. After all, I have tried and I have no regrets. Before the world becomes chaotic, I will find a way to escape from the Hou Mansion and take you and Hanyu away from the Chu family. Let's go to Xinzhou." Go, that is the place where King Luo established himself as king, and it is more stable than other places."
Shen Shijun opened his mouth but said nothing else.
He knew that his brother had big ideas since he was a child, and it was difficult to convince him of something he wanted to do.
He could only tell himself over and over again not to worry. Brother Xiu was sensible, but he couldn't help but hugged Chu Hanxiu: "You have to take good care of yourself and come back safely."
"Hanyu and I will be waiting for you in Pingyang. Then just like you said, our family will go to Xinzhou!"
Chu Hanxiu, who was born with memories, was very familiar with his embrace. Smelling the familiar light soap scent on his body, her nose was a little sour: "Okay, I will take good care of myself."
