Chapter 191 Marriage (Part [-])

The door of Shen's residence finally opened slowly, and several old mothers held a bowl of whole grains in their hands, including red beans, soybeans, mung beans, rice, peanuts, and corn kernels.

They poured the contents of the bowl into the dustpan in front of them and mixed them together with their hands.

The old housekeeper smiled and said, "The first question is to ask General Chu to classify them himself, and count how many grains there are in each kind?"

When the common people heard this, they immediately felt sorry for Chu Muchen, "The Shen family clearly made things difficult on purpose, deliberately delaying the time and delaying the auspicious time!"

"How can there be such a father in this world? Humiliate the future son-in-law on the wedding day!"

"It's just too deceiving!"

Chu Li was holding back his anger in Japan, and finally broke out, "Shen Youxiang deliberately made things difficult, trying to make the general look ugly in public, delaying the auspicious time, and doing things so mercilessly, he did not care about the marriage between the Chu and Shen families at all. Love it!"

The butler was not in a hurry, and still had a sophisticated smile, "Hey, Vice General Chu's words are wrong."

"It's not our Shen family who delayed the auspicious time. If you want to blame it, blame your general for not being able to answer questions in time."

"If he can answer in time how many grains of each kind there are, and can classify them well, it will naturally not delay the auspicious time."

"You—" Chu Li was furious, and immediately flew into a rage, "You have mixed so many beans together, and you have to pick and count them. How can you finish it in a short time?"

"Your Shen family are just playing rogues!"

The soldiers following behind Chu Muchen stood up one after another, "General, we have a large number of people, each of us has one, sort them, and add up the total."

"Yes, General, we are united as one, this little trick will not trouble us!"

"That can't be done. Our master said that the one who married the eldest lady is General Chu. To prove that General Chu is sincere, he must classify and count them himself." The old housekeeper said with a smile.

"I see, you are fucking looking for a beating!" The reckless and impulsive soldiers had already rolled up their sleeves and were about to rush forward to beat the housekeeper, but were stopped by the surrounding soldiers.

"Today is a happy day for the general, don't mess around."

"Damn it, I really deserve a beating! No matter what happens today, I have to vent my anger on the general!"

"I have long been displeased with the way he hides a knife in his smile! What are you pretending to do!" He was so strong that he broke away from the people around him who were blocking him, and rushed forward.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper hurriedly hid behind the guards of the Shen residence, the experienced smile on his face also disappeared, and he cowered and shivered.

Chu Muchen jumped and flew on the horseback, the red clothes fluttered, dazzling, lightly landed in front of the gate of Shen Mansion, he stretched out his hand to stop, "Wang Dali, step back."

"General, they bullied people too much!" Wang Dali roared with a bit of grievance in his rough voice.

"Back off." Chu Muchen's coquettish red lips parted slightly, his face glowing with luster, calm.

Chu Li quickly gave Wang Dali his eyes, implying that the general has already repeated it for the second time, you want to die, or you don't want to live!
Wang Dali turned his face away a little aggrieved, so he obediently withdrew.

Chu Muchen glanced over the dustpan on the ground, as if he had already made up his mind.

"General Chu, our master has said that if you turn all the beans into ashes with one palm, the answer is zero, which means opportunism and lack of sincerity. Today Duan will definitely not let you marry the young lady away." The old man The butler came out from behind the guard with his head poking his head, said in a trembling tone, and couldn't bear to glance at Wang Dali after finishing speaking.

Wang Dali glared at him, and the old housekeeper shrank back in fright.

Chu Muchen had a bohemian smile on his lips, and his cyan gold silk embroidered boots lightly stepped on the edge of the dustpan.

The dustpan was stepped on and stood up, and the beans piled up in the dustpan flew up with a leap.

Chu Muchen's sharp eyes stared at the beans flying in the air, and shuttled among them.

In the eyes of everyone, they could only see beans of various colors flying in the air, a red shadow moving at high speed, and rows of extra beans on the gate of the Shen Mansion.

The red beans were inlaid into the gate, and the row of red beans became longer and longer, followed by soybeans, mung beans...

Until Chu Muchen flicked the last red bean in the air into the door with his fingers, everyone stared at the rows of beans of various colors on the gate of the Shen residence, dumbfounded.

"Red beans are 260 and seven, soybeans are 150 and two, mung beans are 520, rice is 66 and seven, peanuts are 33 and a half, and corn is [-]." Chu Mu replied calmly.

The surrounding people recovered from the shock just now, and applauded unanimously, "General Chu is amazing!"

"How can such a small trick hinder our general!" Wang Dali also smiled complacently.

The butler slowly came out from behind the guard, straightened his clothes a little, and said solemnly: "Congratulations, General Chu, for answering the first question."

"There is one last question. If you answer it, you can enter the door."

"Damn it, there are so many tricks!" Wang Dali rolled up his sleeves again and tried to rush forward.

The old butler was like a mouse seeing a cat. Although he was old, he was quick to avoid it, and sneaked behind the guard.

"Don't mess around, this old slave is only following orders."

"Come on, what's the problem?" Chu Li urged angrily, seeing that the auspicious time was approaching, and if there was any delay, it would be too late.

"Master asked General Chu, if Her Royal Highness Princess and Miss fell into the water at the same time, and only one person could be saved, who would you save?" After speaking, he hid behind the guards again.

"Is it because the Shen family won't stop you after answering this question?" Chu Muchen asked calmly with charming peach blossom eyes.

"Yes, as long as you answer this question."

The people sighed, "Who dares to answer this question?"

"It's wrong to save anyone!"

"Her Royal Highness Princess Dachang is General Chu's biological mother. If you don't save your mother, you will violate my Qingyuan official regulations. If you are not filial, you will not be able to enter the court as an official."

"But if Shen Shengge is not rescued, the Shen family will have an excuse to say that General Chu is not sincere enough in asking for a marriage, and they will not let General Chu marry Shen Shengge today."

"This kind of delay will waste time, effort and money, not to mention the fact that the two have never been married. No matter how big the family property of the General Ren's Mansion is, it will be exhausted."

"This is clearly intended to prevent General Chu from stepping down in public."

"Look, it really is unlucky for anyone who marries Shen Shengge."

"Poor General Chu, why did Shen Shengge fall into this calamity?"

"Before you get married, there are so many bullshit things. After you get married, you will definitely make the house restless."

"It is said that marrying an unworthy wife will ruin the three generations. The Chu family will soon be removed from the famous family!" Someone lamented.

The main hall of the Shen residence.

Jia Ding was reporting the matter in front of Shen's house verbatim, "I saw General Chu flicking his finger at the beans in the air. Before the beans landed, all the beans were thrown into the door by General Chu, and a row of beans was inlaid. Another row of beans."

"And it's so detailed that even half a peanut can be answered accurately." The words were full of admiration for Chu Muchen.

"General Chu is indeed a dragon and phoenix among men, and he can easily solve such tricky problems." Zhang Zhilan couldn't help but praised.

"Huh? Tricky?" Shen Pingchen was good at focusing on key points.

 Guess, how will General Chu answer?
  Guess the prize~
