The perfect brother-in-law reborn

Chapter 20

The court performance finally ended in a tragic way. After Chu Nan passed out, Leng Yun on the stage laughed a few times and fell to the ground.In view of the fact that Chu Nan fell into a coma first, and that Leng Yun's two consecutive tragic battles were more convincing, His Majesty finally designated Leng Yun as the first in martial arts, Chu Nan as the second, and Wang Lin Duguchou and others also had their own rewards.

On the luxurious carriage of the Chu Mansion outside the palace gate, the coachman drove the carriage carefully, for fear of jolting the people in the carriage.In the car, Chu Yue almost cried into tears as she looked at the unconscious Chu Nan foolishly.Yang Mei carefully hugged Chu Nan in her arms, looked at Chu Nan with complicated eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Already some distance away from the palace, Chu Nan slowly opened his eyes, helped the carriage and sat up from Yangmei's arms.

Chu Yue foolishly looked at Chu Nan who was smiling lightly, and forgot to cry for a while, as if she saw a ghost, she shouted, "You...you..."

Chu Nan put his finger in front of his lips, signaled Chu Yue not to speak, and said with a light smile, "Why, Yue'er is not happy when I wake up?"

No matter whether Chu Yue touched Chu Nan's wound or not, she threw herself into Chu Nan's arms, crying, "I scared Yue'er to death, scared Yue'er to death. Why are you scaring others? Do you know that I have How worried are you?"

Chu Nan touched Chu Yue's show, shook his head and said, "If I don't take medicine before the match, if I don't vomit blood on the stage, and if I don't pass out after the match, many people will be so angry that they will jump and scold their mothers."

Although Chu Yue had just arrived in the capital, she was obviously not a political idiot, she secretly glanced at Yang Mei, hugged Chu Nan's waist and stopped talking.

Chu Nan sighed and said: "The Chu family has the roots in the south, the support of their father, Chu'an in the literature, and Chu Kuang in the martial arts. If there is another martial arts master, let alone the eldest prince, our emperor will not be able to sleep .”

Yang Mei looked at Chu Nan who didn't even look at her after waking up, smiled bitterly, lowered her head silently, and murmured: "Nine grades?"

Dugu Canghai looked at his beloved son Duguchou standing under the hall, and said firmly, "It's not the ninth grade!"

Dugu Chou lowered his head in surprise, thought for a while and suppressed the doubts in his heart, and asked An to leave.

Dugu Canghai, who hadn't shown his face for more than ten years, and was even suspected of having died suddenly, turned around and said to Dugu Qiu who had already walked to the door: "This time you are too impulsive, my Dugu family has never participated in party disputes, this Next, let’s talk about what kind of reward Your Majesty has, I will resign it for you as a father, and you can go to the six gates to be a headhunter.” This is to inform Dugu Chou, not to discuss with him, regardless of Dugu Chou’s reaction, a person He muttered: "It can't be the ninth grade, otherwise the Chu family will definitely be the second Shen family, and the capital will bleed again."

On the other hand, Ping Nanbo Yang Lie drank a jar of old wine excitedly, during which he dropped seven or eight cups, laughed and said to his daughters-in-law who persuaded him: "I just said, how could you marry Meier to me?" What about a trash? Now that you believe it, when has Lao Tzu’s eyesight changed?!”

Yang Lie's daughters-in-law quickly said yes, and went to grab Yang Lie's wine glass again, fearing that Yang Lie would hurt his body, Yang Jin on the side hesitated and said, "Could it be that he is a master of the ninth rank? Better than the eldest prince?"

A cold light flashed across Yang Lie's dim old eyes, and he said with a sneer, "What ninth rank? It's just a skill boosted by medicine, and I don't know if there will be any consequences."

Yang Jin was stunned, then remembered something, and murmured: "I can't let him deceive everyone, no, I'm going to expose him. Yes, I have to tell my eldest sister."

Behind him, Yang Lie looked at Yang Jin who ran out excitedly, fell headfirst on the table, and fell asleep drowsily, but he sighed deeply.

I don’t know how many huge manors in the capital are playing similar scenes, but no matter what, the fifth young master of the Chu family has completely removed the hat of waste, and Chu Yuan’s roar seems to indicate that Chu Nan is not as it is in the legend. Unpopular, among the young generation in Beijing, a new name is slowly coming into people's sight, but it is not known whether he will become famous like Chu Kuang or disappear like a meteor.

Chu Nan had acted enough, and when he was carried back to the small courtyard by his family, blood was still dripping from the corner of his mouth, which made him look horrifying.The young lady of the Chu family was also frowning, and after placing Chu Nan in the main room, she sat on the edge of the bed and was lost in thought. The servants of the family only showed their deep love for husband and wife when they saw the suffering. Now seeing the fifth young master injured, he used to be dignified The calm young lady also lost her sense of proportion.

On the second day, the rewards in the palace came down. Those who had such outstanding performances were rewarded, and no matter how bad they were, they would also get gold, silver or weapons.Those who got a good ranking were naturally even more powerful. Leng Yun, who won the first place, directly became a mid-level general in the city defense battalion, as well as the horse and armor bestowed by the imperial court, etc., and the limelight was momentary.Wang Lin and others, as well as those sergeants from Mobei, have also become stars in the army, and no matter how bad they are, they have also become school officers.The reward for No.2 Chu Nan was far worse. Although he had a lot of wound medicine and gold and silver, he was not promoted to the military rank. He was only appointed as a seventh-rank imperial guard, which was also a idle job.

On the banks of the Jinshui River in the capital city, in the second to none teahouse Piaoxianlou, there are a few people dressed as gentry talking about the just-concluded court martial arts performance.The atmosphere in Daliang is open, and the people can talk about current affairs at will, and if they have the courage, they can even beat the drum and ask for a face saint.

I only heard a man with the appearance of a rich businessman say: "If we talk about this martial arts performance, the young master Chu is not here, and the eldest prince did not participate, so I thought it would be nothing to watch, but who would have thought that there would be so many masters, especially those from the Wang family?" That kid is really ruthless, I heard that he passed out on the spot."

A short and thin man next to him agreed: "Yes, yes, this year, one is more ruthless than the other. The young master of Leng Du Du's family was stabbed five or six holes in his body, and he seems to be dying. It's really miserable."

A middle-aged man with a mouse mustache shook his head and said, "If you want me to say, the fifth young master of the Chu family is the one who is so ruthless. He provoked the eldest prince in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and forced his majesty to break the leg of the eldest prince's counselor. He also defeated a general who was leading the army in Mobei. Tsk tsk, who is that? That is a hero who has dozens of barbarian lives under his command, and he has really rolled in a sea of ​​blood."

The wealthy businessman frowned and said, "No, I heard that His Majesty punished the counselor because Minister Chu became popular. And I heard that Young Master Chu was seriously injured and is still hanging by the old senator. If there is an accident, then A fairy like Miss Yang will be a widow."

Xian'er was restless when she heard that Chu Nan was injured. Now she heard this and said angrily: "How can you talk? How can you curse people to death. You really have no tutor!"

The rich businessman was waiting for the fire to see the delicate Xian'er, and smiled awkwardly. Knowing that Xian'er knew many high-ranking officials, and heard that there was a prince who was thinking about her, he really couldn't afford to offend her, and apologized: "I...I'm just talking nonsense. Yes. Hearsay cannot be taken as true.”

Xian'er simply sat aside and sulked, because she wanted to hear more about Chu Nan.After a brief pause in the atmosphere, someone said: "What do you know? Let me tell you, the young master of the Chu family's skill was raised abruptly after taking medicine. Now that the medicine is over, he will naturally suffer."

The rich businessman looked at Xian'er's face and asked deliberately: "No? Since the Chu family can produce a master like General Chu, why can't they produce another one?"

The man said disdainfully: "Tch, let me tell you, when he took the medicine, many people saw it, and the news was released by his brother-in-law himself, how can it be false?"

A group of people were dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, urging the person to explain in detail.

The man's vanity was very satisfying, and he whetted everyone's appetites: "I heard that the medicine came from overseas, and ordinary people only take one at a time, but the young master of the Chu family took it all at once just to get angry. This is a bad thing, Although you defeated General Mu in Mobei, afterward, do you know how much blood you vomited!"

Everyone was even more amazed and nodded at the man's test.

The man was even more satisfied, and continued to say half-truthfully: "Hey, once you take the medicine, it doesn't matter. I heard that Young Master Chu is basically going to be disabled. Whether he can save his life is another matter. Have you seen him recently?" There are so many carriages in the Chu Mansion, they are all rushing to see him for the last time, hey, poor man, although he has a bad reputation in the capital, he has never done anything harmful, so he just disappeared, poor man Miss Yang..."

Xian'er couldn't take it anymore, she threw the rag in front of the man, and said loudly: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"

Ignoring the stunned tea guests, Xian'er wiped her tears and ran downstairs, making up her mind to go to Chu's house to visit Chu Nan now, and to see him for the last time. to hell!
