Rebirth of the perfect brother-in-law

Chu Nan naturally didn't know that the two big shots in the palace were already on guard against him as a shameless flower picker, and were ready to kick him out of the capital as soon as possible.

Since the Queen Mother was planning to confer a marriage, it was impossible not to communicate with Prince Jing in advance. Even Chu Nan suspected that Prince Jing was behind the marriage. Even if he had been cultivating the land behind closed doors in the palace for decades, he would not be able to do it in the capital.

But no one dared to look down upon him, and even became more and more afraid of him.

But no matter what the truth is, Prince Jing is Xian'er's adoptive father after all, so it is appropriate for Chu Nan to pay him a visit in advance.

Prince Jing, wrapped in thick cotton clothes, looked increasingly skinny, but he was very energetic. When Chu Nan arrived, he didn't give him a chance to mention Xian'er's marriage, and started talking to him about the scenery outside the Great Wall.

It can be seen that Prince Jing is very knowledgeable. After all, he was trained as an emperor. He put aside the disguise of an old farmer and spoke little but was sharp and to the point.

Chu Nan stood humbly and said cautiously: "It is impossible for His Majesty to risk his own life and go to the northwest. After all, I am young and I am afraid that I will not be able to control the situation. At that time, His Majesty will probably still be in control in the capital..."

Prince Jing smiled disdainfully and said lightly: "You will be so obedient?"

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

Prince Jing didn't care about Chu Nan's reaction. He patted his knees and sighed: "No matter what, it is a great good thing for Daliang. As long as things are done well, in the future, whether it is Northwest or Yingzhou, there will be no such thing as speaking and doing things."

I used to be so tough..."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Chu Nan and said slowly: "I will not accept your fate. After all, it is a big battle. As long as you can command the army, even if you do something outrageous, as long as the result is good

, everything is easy to say... If something goes wrong, I'm afraid the old and new accounts will have to be settled together... You may not know that the ten major crimes that the censors have convicted you of are now on His Majesty's desk, and you can dig them out when necessary.

Isn’t it easy to use?”

Chu Nan lowered his head and smiled bitterly.

Prince Jing, however, did not sympathize with Chu Nan's situation at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "I guess you still have some cards to play, so I don't need 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 trump cards available?"

Although Prince Jing was far away from the court, he was one of the big figures in the capital who was qualified to influence the direction of the court. Unfortunately, although he heard Chu Nan pretending to be pitiful, he had no intention of helping him. Instead, he picked up the chrysanthemum tea he had brewed.

It tasted delicious.

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

Prince Jing looked straight at the desolate winter scenery in the courtyard, and suddenly said with a sigh: "I am just like the old tree in this courtyard. I am afraid that I don't have many days left to live. Many people are also looking forward to this."

The trees will soon die so that they can be cut down to make room for new ones..."

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

Prince Jing did not expect to get any comfort from Chu Nan, and said with a chuckle: "Originally, I would have died quietly like this tree, but I didn't expect that I would get a daughter for nothing...

…I’m not afraid to tell you that although this tree won’t live long, as long as it lasts, the flowers and plants under the tree will be blessed for a day…”

Chu Nan breathed a sigh of relief. This was the topic he came to Prince Jing to discuss. He quickly put down the tea cup and said, "I will treat Xian'er well..."

Prince Jing glared at Chu Nan, frowned and said: "You are burdened with love debts and restless. You are always in trouble, and now it is even more serious. If you are not careful, you will be irreversible. At least you will have to involve your family. If I press

Thoughts... After saying this, he stopped talking and said with some reluctance: "It's a pity that Xian'er, this girl, has already identified you..."

Chu Nan was a little ashamed and a little proud.

Now, Prince Jing does not use his royal status to suppress himself, but uses the name of his future father-in-law, and speaks in a very rude manner, which makes Chu Nan feel a little frightened.

In the final analysis, Xian'er's marriage is still firmly in the hands of Prince Jing. The situation is stronger than others and there is no room for Chu Nan not to bow his head.

Prince Jing said he still felt sorry for Xian'er, glanced at Chu Nan and said: "Although asking the Queen Mother to confer marriage is just a formality, if you think you have a chance of victory, you are wrong. Even if the Queen Mother's decree is given, I believe

If you don’t believe me, I can make the Queen Mother take it back..."

Having such an unreasonable and overbearing father-in-law is really the tragedy of all sons-in-law. Although Chu Nan suspected that Prince Jing's words were exaggerated, he was not stupid enough to question them on the spot. He smiled and said: "How could...

...Don't worry, old man... just don't scare me... I'm very timid..."

Prince Jing sneered, but he didn't mind poking Chu Nan's scar at all, "Coward?! As a son, you can make your father so angry that he drives you out; as a minister, you can make the emperor lie awake in the middle of the night and plot against you.

I think you are very courageous!...But as a husband, you are only so-so..."

Chu Nan looked at Prince Jing's face, thought for a long time, and decided not to punch him. This old guy doesn't understand the principle of hitting someone without hitting him in the face, and scolding someone without exposing their fault. The older he gets, the more senseless he becomes.

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

Chu Nan liked this topic, and it was also the ultimate purpose of coming to Prince Jing's Mansion. When Prince Jing brought it up, he forgot about the idea of ​​beating the old man, and said happily: "Of course, the sooner..."

Seeing the thoughtful look in Prince Jing's eyes, he was keenly aware that there seemed to be a trap. He quickly swallowed the words that were on his lips, lowered his head and changed his words: "Of course it's you who makes the decision..."

Prince Jing then stroked his beard and laughed, patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, with an expression on his face that said, "You are a teachable boy, you should answer like this." He also pretended to be hypocritical, and said with a smile: "This matter... you also

We need to discuss it with Xian'er's family..."

Chu Nan wished he could kick away the old face that smiled like a bitter melon, and asked tentatively: "Then, do you think... when is the right time?"

Prince Jing pondered for a while and then asked: "When did you make an appointment with that little girl from the Yang family?"

Chu Nan chose his words and replied carefully: "Looking at my father-in-law's intention, the sooner the better... It was probably years ago..."

It's a bit helpless to say that the royal marriage is said to be a supreme honor. In fact, even the wedding date is "gifted" and you can't make the decision yourself.

After hearing this, Prince Jing frowned, waved his hand and said, "Then Xian'er will be waiting for you to come back from the northwest..."

Chu Nan bared his teeth. According to her thoughts, she probably hoped that the two of them would marry together and come back from the northwest... Who knows when the fight will last... Prince Jing glanced at Chu Nan and said lightly: "Don't be dissatisfied.

Xian'er is a princess now. I'm giving you face by not letting you divorce your first wife and marry her again. If you can't have a glorious wedding, I won't agree to it! 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 I'm still alive, I can barely escape with you alive. However, your marriage to 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 long time, he nodded slowly.

Prince Jing patted Chu Nan on the shoulder, stood up and walked towards the back, sighing softly: "Young man, just take care of yourself..."

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

With a white face and no beard, a sharp voice and a big mole at the corner of his mouth, he is none other than Eunuch Sha, one of the great eunuchs under the Queen Mother.

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

It is indeed a happy event, and a big happy event.

This is the Queen Mother's decree.

Chu Nan had no choice but to follow the eunuch back and tell his subordinates to prepare for the order, but there was a lot of movement. Although Yang Mei and Guan He were a little reluctant, they had to hide away.

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

"The Queen Mother's decree..."

In fact, most of the people present had guessed the content. It was nothing more than praising how loyal and patriotic Chu Nan was, and how gentle and simple Yang Lin was in running the house. The two were a match made in heaven, and the wedding date was officially determined, which was the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

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

Yang Mei had a complicated look on her face. Even if she was her own sister, there was always some resistance in her heart. Of course, because there were outsiders present, she would not show it at all. After receiving the imperial edict, she stood up and ordered the servants to serve hot tea and handed over a large amount of silver.

Give the ticket to Eunuch Sha as hard-earned money.

Eunuch Sha nodded and put it into his sleeves, glanced casually, and his face turned into a chrysanthemum smile.

The tea was drunk and the money was collected, but Eunuch Sha was still sitting in the chair with no intention of saying goodbye. Yang Mei could only curse inwardly for being greedy and took out another banknote.

Eunuch Sha stopped answering this time and declined quickly, explaining with a smile: "To be honest with you two, there is a companion from the Za family behind with another order from the Queen Mother. The Za family is waiting to go back with him..."

Sure enough, there was another thing: the eunuch who announced the decree was far older than Mr. Sha, and his qualifications and status were even more incomparable. He was the chief eunuch who did not move easily.

The decree was roughly similar, except that the name was changed to Xian'er's, and the wording was obviously much more complicated and gorgeous. It was also a decree granting a marriage. As expected, it did not exceed Chu Nan's expectations, but there was no wedding date set in it.

Another cup of hot tea was served, and a lot of money was thrown out. It was obvious that the old eunuch was more than one grade higher than Eunuch Sha. He took the banknote without even looking at it, without even thinking about it.

Keep that money in mind.

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

Yang Mei was quite frightened and asked suspiciously: "Two father-in-laws...could it be...that there are more behind us?"

The two eunuchs smiled at each other and nodded in agreement.
