"Husband, don't move!"
Liu Shuyue grabbed a pug by the neck and shooed it aside: "Bad dog, who told you to point your butt at my husband? Go away, go play somewhere else!"
The pug swept Zhou Yunshen's nose with its tail and ran to the side reluctantly.
Liu Shuyue wiped his face and tidied his hair: "Husband, are you okay?"
The person is fine, but the heart is broken. Does this mean that everything is fine?
"It's okay, this is your first time. You'll get used to it after practicing more. Come on, let's go eavesdrop."
Liu Shuyue pulled him to the inner courtyard.
With Huahua as her guide and Zhou Yunshen by her side, she successfully avoided all the servants and quickly reached the backyard.
At this moment, Zhou Yunshen only hoped that the spies sent by the emperor hadn't followed him...
But, that's impossible!
The Emperor and the Empress were treading on the ground to look at the newly grown vegetables, while the Empress Dowager was feeding the chickens with pine nuts.
When the recording painting was received, the chicken was frightened and fluttered around several times due to laughter.
"Hahaha, Zhou Yunshen is digging a dog hole!"
"That old fellow crawled through a dog hole! He crawled through a dog hole! Mother, can you imagine this? A man nearly 1.9 meters tall, dressed in luxurious attire, crawling through a dog hole in someone else's house!"
The Queen Mother also laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "This brat has finally met his end! Your Majesty, quickly summon the painter to record this scene carefully. Invite him for tea tomorrow so he can admire it."
The Queen said, "The Marquis of Zhennan holds grudges very well. If this is the case, I'm afraid he will be unhappy and will try to trip up Mother again."
"What are you afraid of? I have Shu Yue now. If he dares to make trouble for me, I will complain to Shu Yue and say that he is bullying the elderly."
When the queen heard this, she thought it was a good idea.
She also laughed: "Since we have passed on the painter, why not pass on the historian as well."
"The Marquis of Zhennan is an important official of our Great Zhou. He will be recorded in history books in the future. This is a good opportunity to fill in the blanks."
The emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other and were very appreciative.
When it comes to cruelty, the queen is the most powerful!
Zhou Yunshen felt his nose itchy, and there was always a bad feeling lingering in his heart.
Liu Shuyue had already arrived at the backyard and happened to see the two brothers Shen Chu and Shen Xin looking at something.
Liu Shuyue: [What are you looking at so intently?]
The two brothers were stunned.
This sound and this feeling are so familiar.
Could it be...
Huahua: [This is Chen Chu's betrothal gift list. Chen Chu has been preparing it for a long time and has put all his own New Year's money into it. He still feels it's not enough. Please ask Chen Xin to come and check and fill in the gaps.]
Liu Shuyue: [This kid is pretty good.]
Huahua: [He was wrong. Unfortunately, the Shen family was still a bit broke. To raise the betrothal gift, he copied books for others at night and took private jobs after work, writing novels for others. He also participated in the novel about your scumbag father's misdeeds. He also won the bet and made a profit of about 500 taels of silver, which he put all into the betrothal gift.]
Shen Chu was so anxious that she almost cried.
Although officials appointed by the imperial court can acquire assets, participating in gambling is another level.
Moreover, he took on private work and wrote manuscripts without telling Chaohua.
What if Chaohua finds out and refuses to marry him?
Huahua: [Your son-in-law isn't much better. Luming doesn't spend any of his money, and doesn't value it, but there are always some tall and strong sons of military commanders around her.]
Chen Xin felt he was too thin compared to them, so he wanted to build muscle. He ate a lot of high-quality protein every day, ran and lifted rocks, and spent all his spare money on buying a big rooster, so there wasn't much left.
[With the marriage proposal coming up in a month or so, he was considering whether he should open a shop with his cousin to earn some money so he could get married.]
Chen Xin's face also turned red.
His father was thin and small, a little shorter than his mother.
Although he inherited his mother's height, it can only be considered normal, not tall.
He looked at his colleagues on the training ground. Each of them had eight-pack abs and could run briskly while carrying two large wooden barrels in each hand.
Even so, Lu Ming still despises him.
He just wanted to be a little bigger, why was it so difficult?
Liu Shuyue: [What's destined to happen will happen, and what's not destined to happen will not happen. Why force it? Maybe Lu Ming just likes the skinny and petite look?]
Chen Xin was petrified, dumbfounded.
Lu Ming likes skinny and petite girls? Then what's the point of all his efforts during this period?
Hua Hua: [Girls probably like the type who looks thin when dressed but muscular when undressed. As long as Chen Xin persists, he should have no problem developing some abs, but Chen Chu has a problem. Making money isn't something you can achieve simply by persistence.]
He had a pair of gold-threaded underwear, a birthday gift from his aunt, which he had kept and never worn. He planned to sell the underwear to raise some money for the bride price.
Liu Shuyue: [Selling underwear to raise money? Wow, this kid is really willing to take risks! 18k gold underwear, that's incredible!]
Shen Chu’s face turned red.
He was very surprised when he received the underwear.
I’ve heard of clothes being embroidered with gold thread, but I’ve never heard of underwear being made with pure gold thread.
Aren’t you afraid of getting your butt hurt?
Anyway, he was afraid at the time, so he left it unused.
Now I want to sell it secretly to exchange for something, but I was discovered.
He's totally lost face!
Huahua: [Actually, they don't need to be so anxious. Chen Chu's mother was once the apple of the eye of a villager. When she married an official, he was afraid that the official would be unreliable, so he only gave her three boxes of dowry as a down payment. He found a good feng shui spot to hide the rest. There were a total of thirty boxes!]
Shen Chuyi listened to the words and instantly felt like a fool.
Although his grandfather was a bandit, he was recruited by the imperial court. He used to rob the rich and help the poor, and never did anything to harm the people.
So ever since he could remember, his family has been closer to his grandfather.
But he had never heard that his grandfather had hidden this trick.
He even foolishly went to sell underwear.
Do you look like a big fool?
Shen Chu felt relieved and decided to write to his grandfather tomorrow, asking him to bring a few boxes over to help him through this difficult time.
Liu Shuyue: [I didn't realize their family had such a rich history! His grandfather was quite insightful, knowing to find a good feng shui location for burying treasure.]
Huahua: [Yes, it was a tomb where a princess from the previous dynasty was buried. Later, due to tomb robbers, a corner of it was exposed, so he hid something inside.]
Liu Shuyue: [Fuck, buried in a dead person's grave?]
Huahua: [Although it's a tomb for the dead, it's also a Feng Shui treasure land. It absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, so it's pretty good.]
That being said, it's a bit distasteful.
He should first ask the imperial master for some talismans and process the things before sending them off.
Liu Shuyue: [Poor Chen Xin, his brother has secured the bride price for marrying the princess, but he hasn't secured the bride price for marrying my daughter yet, right?]
Huahua: [Your husband said he doesn't want his betrothal gift, but if Lu Ming is unhappy, he'll be castrated and sent to the palace to wash toilets! He'll also have him live in the Marquis' Mansion. The first child he has will be named Shen, and the second will be named Zhou. So, he'll be considered a son-in-law.]
