I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Chapter 23: Entangled Fate

Many people were discussing and surprised that Chu Shen could still have a relationship with the capital. Only Zhao Lao Ye's face changed, which was noticed by Hu Lao Ye.

"Zhao Ye, the Zhou family in the capital, could it be..."

Zhao Lao Ye let out a breath, "Probably not wrong. The matter of the 'foreigner' has been reported to the county magistrate for quite some time. Considering the time, there should have been a response from above. Now, the one in charge of the Jin Yi envoy is surnamed Zhou. This is probably someone sent to assess the situation."

"But it's fine. It should just be a procedure. Our Great Yan Xian Dynasty has more than just Chu's son-in-law as a 'foreigner,' and there haven't been many mistakes."

Hu Lao Ye also relaxed upon hearing this and, together with Zhao Lao Ye, pretended to know nothing, raising their cups to each other, appearing joyful as if they hadn't seen the several people entering through the main gate.

...

The new guest leading the way was a smiling young master, dressed in luxury and appearing refined.

Behind him were four swordsmen who looked fierce, giving off an unwelcoming aura.

This young master presented an expensive pair of yin-yang fish jade pendants as a congratulatory gift. The knowledgeable host knew that this was an esteemed guest and couldn't arrange for them to sit outside, so they warmly led them into the courtyard.

The other party didn't mind and casually found an empty seat, eating and drinking with ease, telling jokes to others. They didn't seem like troublemakers, and the immense pressure brought by the four swordsmen slowly dissipated, allowing both host and guest to enjoy themselves.

But this was also a kind of ability that those who understood knew. The young master wasn't just a wastrel.

It wasn't until Chu Shen arrived and had a conversation with the other party that people like Zhao Lao Ye and Hu Lao Ye slowly let go of their worries.

"Husband, who is that young master?"

Among Chu Shen's three concubines, Ning Xiangyue was not as dull as the Chen sisters. She could tell that the young master didn't just happen to pass by and asked Chen Ying for clarification.

Chu Shen reassured her, "It's fine. The other party is an official, here to verify my 'foreigner' identity. It's already done, and they came to attend the ceremony, considering it as establishing a good relationship."

Chen Ying didn't understand these convoluted matters and was placated by his explanation. In reality, the young master used both soft and hard tactics and wasn't as friendly as he appeared on the surface.

Just that Chu Shen had no intention of making a big fuss. He promised to abide by the laws of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and not cause any trouble. This matter can be considered as coming to an end, and he has officially passed the review process of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty for "foreigners."

...

Everything was calm until two wedding sedan chairs, one from the east and one from the west, appeared in Yangliu Lane amidst the cheers of the crowd. The atmosphere of the banquet reached its climax, and even many guests in the courtyard ran to the door to watch.

The young master of the capital and his followers remained motionless, quietly watching the lively crowd.

A swordsman couldn't help but sneer when he saw this scene: "This foreigner really doesn't pay attention to etiquette. He treats taking concubines like taking wives."

His companion laughed, and someone added: "Although they are concubines, their natal families are powerful. This foreigner has no foundation here, so he has to show some manners."

Another person said: "In the countryside, how can you expect strict adherence to etiquette? Just let it be as lively as possible. I think it's quite interesting."

"What I'm more concerned about is, what do you think, how much can the local wealthy in Nanping City earn from this bet?"

"Who knows? Whether this foreigner is talented or can make a name for himself is uncertain. But I think the local wealthy in Nanping City have already shown some intelligence by making this move. After all, they can't rely on their prospects in the court, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Great Yan Immortal Dynasty and other Dongxuan forces were generally tolerant of the existence of "foreigners," but there were still restrictions, such as entering the officialdom of the Immortal Dynasty and gaining power. There were many limitations.

These restrictions also included the native Dongxuan residents who had connections with "foreigners."

However, people like Zhao Lao Ye didn't need to worry about these issues. These restrictions could only be touched when the official positions of the relevant personnel reached a certain level, commonly known as the glass ceiling.

The young master of the Zhou family didn't pay attention to his subordinates' idle chatter. He maintained his usual gentle and jade-like appearance while carefully observing his surroundings.

This was his professional habit. As a Jin Yi envoy, he was the emperor's eyes and ears, and it was necessary for him to inspect the world on behalf of the emperor and ensure the imperial authority.

It was also because of this professional habit that he became suspicious of the mansion next to the Chu family.

The attic window is open, and the Chu family is so lively, but no one is watching the excitement, suspicious.

It's so lively around here, and the neighbors have all come out to participate, but the front door of this house is still closed, suspicious.

His intuition tells him that someone is watching him, but not among the crowd, suspicious.

In short, he is so suspicious, and he already has some thoughts in his mind.

But now is not the time.

He looked around, there were too many people, so he decided to come and investigate later.

Firecrackers sounded, and the drifting smoke began to blur his vision. Lowering his eyes, he started drinking again.

...

When the bridal sedan arrived, Chu Shen became busy.

He carried the two brides out of the sedan, entered the Chu family's gate, and considered it as being married into the family.

He paid respects to Old Master Hu and Old Master Zhao, bidding farewell to his original family and becoming a member of the Chu family.

As for the aspect of sending them into the bridal chamber, Chu Shen had his own unique approach. Instead of assigning separate rooms for each bride, he sent them to the same room.

In this matter, Ning Xiangyue, the third daughter of the Ning family, had a say. The two newlyweds didn't understand anything and needed to be taught.

As for whether the two women would feel awkward... it didn't matter, everyone had gone through this.

When the night grew darker and the banquet for the guests was coming to an end, Chu Shen finally arrived at the bridal chamber with the smell of alcohol on him. He drove out the giggling Ning Xiangyue and approached the slightly uneasy second daughter.
