The perfect brother-in-law reborn

Naturally, Chu Nan didn't know that the two big figures in the palace had already treated him as a shameless flower picker and planned to kick him out of the capital as soon as possible.

Since the Empress Dowager is going to grant the marriage, it is impossible not to communicate with Prince Jing beforehand. Even Chu Nan suspects that the matter of the marriage was promoted by King Jing behind the scenes. But still no one dared to underestimate him, and even became more and more jealous.

But no matter what the truth is, King Jing is Xian'er's adoptive father after all, and it is right for Chu Nan to call on him earlier.

Wrapped in thick cotton clothes, Prince Jing looked thinner and thinner, but he was very energetic. When he saw Chu Nan coming, he didn't even give him a chance to mention Xian'er's marriage, instead he asked him to talk about the scenery beyond the Great Wall.

It can be seen that Prince Jing's knowledge is very profound. After all, he was trained as an emperor at the beginning. He put aside the disguise of an old farmer, and he didn't speak much but was sharp enough to hit the nail on the head.

Chu Nan stood humbly, and said cautiously: "It is impossible for Your Majesty to go to the Northwest by risking your own life. After all, I am not experienced enough, and I am afraid that I will not be able to control the scene. At that time, His Majesty will probably be in control of the capital..."

Prince Jing smiled disdainfully, and said lightly, "Are you so obedient?"

Chu Nan's face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to deal with the old man who was born in the royal family but had always been detached.

King Jing didn't care about Chu Nan's reaction, and patted his knees and sighed: "Anyway, it's a great thing for Daliang. As long as the matter is done well, in the future, whether it's Northwest or Yingzhou, there will be no such thing as talking and doing things." It was so tough before..."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chu Nan again, and said slowly: "You will not accept the orders of the generals. After all, it is a big battle. As long as you can command the army, even if you do something out of line, as long as the result is good , it’s all easy to say... If something goes wrong, I’m afraid you will have to settle the old and new accounts together... You may not know that the top ten crimes imposed on you by the censors are now placed on His Majesty’s case, and they will be retrieved when necessary Isn’t it easy to use?”

Chu Nan lowered his head and smiled wryly.

Prince Jing didn't sympathize with Chu Nan's situation at all, instead he said with a smile: "I think you still have some cards to show, so don't need me to worry about you..."

Chu Nan sighed, lowered his head and said, "It's probably the result of impulsiveness...how can there be so many cards?"

Although Prince Jing is far away from the court, he is one of the big figures in the capital who are qualified to influence the direction of the court. Unfortunately, although he heard that Chu Nan was acting pitifully, he did not intend to help him. Taste it with gusto.

Chu Nan had no choice but to sit down and drink tea.

Prince Jing stared straight at the bleak winter scenery in the yard, and suddenly said with a sigh: "This old man is like that old tree in this yard. I'm afraid I don't have many days to live, and many people are also looking forward to it. The tree is going to die soon, so I can cut it down to make room for new ones..."

Chu Nan sipped his tea and listened quietly, not knowing how to answer.

Prince Jing didn't want to get any comfort from Chu Nan, and said with a light smile, "Originally, this old man would probably die silently like this tree, but I didn't expect to get a daughter for nothing... ...I'm not afraid to tell you that although this tree won't live for many days, as long as it's alive, the flowers and plants under the tree will be blessed for one day..."

Chu Nan heaved a sigh of relief, this is what he wanted to discuss when he came to King Jing, he quickly put down the teacup and said, "I will treat Xian'er well..."

King Jing glared at Chu Nan, frowned and said: "You are in debt and restless, and you are always in trouble, and now it is even more serious. One carelessness will lead to a catastrophic end, and you will inevitably hurt your family. If you follow me I don't want to talk about my thoughts... I didn't mention it here, and I still said a little unwillingly: "It's a pity, Xian'er is a stubborn girl, so she will recognize you..."

Chu Nan was a little ashamed and a little proud.

Now King Jing doesn't use his royal status to suppress himself, but uses the name of his future father-in-law, and his words are quite rude, which makes Chu Nan feel a little fearful.

After all, Xian'er's marriage is still firmly in the hands of King Jing, the situation is stronger than others, and there is no room for Chu Nan not to bow his head.

King Jing said that he still felt sorry for Xian'er, he glanced at Chu Nan and said, "Although the Queen Mother is going to give you a marriage, it's just a formality. If you don’t believe me, this king can let the Queen Mother take it back..."

It is really a tragedy for all the son-in-laws to have such an unreasonable and domineering father-in-law. Although Chu Nan suspected that King Jing’s words were exaggerated, he would not be so stupid as to question them on the spot. He hurriedly said with a smile, “How could… ... Don't worry, old man, just... don't scare me, kid... I'm very timid..."

Prince Jing sneered, but he didn't mind poking Chu Nan's scar at all, "Cowardly?! As a son, you can make your father so angry that you will be kicked out; as a courtier, you can make the emperor sleepless at night to plot against you. I think you are very courageous!... But the only thing about being a husband is so-so..."

Chu Nan looked at Prince Jing's face, thought for a while, and decided not to punch him. This old man doesn't know how to hit someone in the face, or curse at someone.

Prince Jing didn't notice the murderous look in Chu Nan's eyes, and suddenly asked, "When are you going to marry Xian'er..."

Chu Nan likes this topic, and it is also the ultimate purpose of coming to Prince Jing's mansion this time. Hearing that Prince Jing brought it up, he forgot the idea of ​​wanting to beat up the old man just now, and said happily, "Of course the sooner..."

Seeing Prince Jing's eyes that seemed to have deep meaning, he keenly sensed that there seemed to be a trap, and quickly swallowed back the words that came to his lips, lowered his head and changed his words: "Of course you made up your mind..."

Prince Jing then stroked his beard and laughed, patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, with an expression of "you can teach me, you should answer like this", and pretended to be hypocritical, and said with a smile: "This matter... you also We need to discuss with Xian'er's family..."

Chu Nan wanted to kick the old face that was smiling like a bitter gourd away, and asked tentatively, "Then you see... when is the right time?"

Prince Jing pondered for a long while before asking, "When did you make an appointment with that little girl from the Yang family?"

Chu Nan chose his words, and replied carefully: "Looking at what my father-in-law meant, the sooner the better... probably it was years ago..."

It's a bit helpless to say that the royal family bestows a marriage, which is said to be a supreme honor, but in fact, even the wedding date must be "given", and there is no way for oneself to decide.

King Jing frowned after hearing this, waved his hands and said, "That fairy will be in the next year, when you come back from the northwest..."

Chu Nan bared her teeth. According to her thinking, she probably hoped that the two would marry together and come back from the northwest... Who knows when the fight will take... Prince Jing glanced at Chu Nan and said lightly: "Don't be dissatisfied, Xian'er is now a princess. It is already giving you face not to let you divorce your main wife and remarry. If you can't have a beautiful wedding, I will not agree! If everything goes well and you return to the court with honor, then naturally It couldn't be better... If you lose the battle and come back to be liquidated, as long as the old man is not dead, I can barely protect you from retreating, but when the time comes, your marriage with Xian'er will need to be discussed again... "

Chu Nan naturally understood the confidence and coercion in Prince Jing's calm words. After thinking for a while, he nodded slowly.

Prince Jing patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, got up and walked back, sighed softly, "Young man, let's do it for ourselves..."

…………… The next day, just as Chu Nan was about to go out to Piaoxianlou to talk to Xianer’s family, he was blocked by several people at home.

He has a beardless face, a sharp voice, and a big mole on the corner of his mouth. He is one of the empress dowager's eunuchs, Eunuch Sha.

Eunuch Sha stepped down from the carriage on a low stool, and said with a smile on his face, "Master Chu... where are you going? Don't rush out, the miscellaneous family is here to announce the good news to you!"

Sure enough, it was a happy event, and it was a big happy event.

It is the Queen Mother's order.

Chu Nan had no choice but to follow the eunuch back, and ordered his subordinates to prepare to receive the order, but there was a lot of movement. Although Yang Mei and Guan He were a little reluctant, they couldn't hide.

Eunuch Sha and Chu Nan exchanged pleasantries for a long time, said some pleasant words, and solemnly invited a roll of yellow silk from the brocade box, singing and chanting.

"Empress Dowager Yizhi..."

In fact, most of the people present have already guessed the content. It is nothing more than boasting how loyal and patriotic Chu Nan is to the emperor, and how gentle and simple Yang Lin is in managing the family. The two are a match made in heaven.

Chu Nan felt satisfied, and counted with his fingers. It was only less than a month away from now, and the Queen Mother finally knew what she wanted.

Yang Mei's expression was complicated, even if it was her own younger sister, there was always some resistance in her heart. Of course, because of the presence of outsiders, she would not show it at all. After receiving the imperial decree, she stood up and ordered the servants to serve hot tea and a large amount of silver. Give the ticket to Eunuch Sha as hard-earned money.

Eunuch Sha nodded and tucked it into his sleeves, glanced at it casually, his face was about to smile like a chrysanthemum.

The tea was drunk and the money was collected, but Eunuch Sha was still sitting on the chair, showing no intention of saying goodbye and leaving.

Eunuch Sha didn't pick up this time anymore, he quickly declined, and explained with a smile: "To tell you the truth, there is another order from the Miscellaneous family with the Empress Dowager's companion, and the Miscellaneous family is waiting to go back with him..."

Sure enough, there is one more thing, the eunuch Xuanzhi is far older than Eunuch Sha, his qualifications and status are even more incomparable, and he is the chief eunuch who does not easily move.

The decree is roughly similar, except that the name is changed to Xian'er, and the words are obviously more complicated and gorgeous. It is also the decree for bestowing a marriage. Sure enough, it did not exceed Chu Nan's expectations, but there is no wedding date set in it.

Another batch of hot tea was served, and a large amount of silver was spilled out. It was obvious that the later old eunuch was more than one grade higher than Sha Gonggong, so he took the silver ticket without even looking at it, and didn't think about it. Put those silver in your eyes.

The two eunuchs had no intention of leaving, and sat there drinking tea with smiles on their faces.

Yang Mei was quite frightened, and asked suspiciously: "The two father-in-laws...could there be...there are more?"

The two eunuchs smiled at each other and nodded tacitly.
