Chapter 13: Getting Married and Refusing an Official Position



"I haven't seen Miss smile for a long time. It's true that people are in high spirits when they are happy."

Fu Yuehua also gave a rare explanation when she heard the maid's praise.

"Yeah, I thought of something happy."

At this time, Fu Yuehua was only separated from Li Xiuzhu by a courtyard wall. After repeated experiments, she found the exact distance at which she could hear Li Xiuzhu's inner voice.

Ten feet!

The meaning of one zhang was different in each dynasty. The one zhang here was three meters, which means that with her as the center, Li Xiuzhu's voice could be heard within 30 meters.

In order not to miss Li Xiuzhu's voice, she moved to the yard closest to Li Xiuzhu.

You know what, eavesdropping on other people’s thoughts is really fun.

Li Xiuzhu waited until the wedding was about to start, but his father-in-law still didn't cancel the engagement, and he suddenly felt a little disappointed.

But there was nothing he could do now, just get married, and divorce later, right? It wasn't a big problem! But after two days here, he was beginning to miss that little devil Yue, and he didn't know if her period was over yet.

I don’t know how much affection will remain between the two after not seeing each other for a while.

Can you still sleep? This is the key, after all, people's minds change.

However, he has done everything he should and can do, and all he can do is wait and see.

"Son-in-law, it's time to change into your wedding clothes!"

"Um!"

Li Xiuzhu, who was not in a good mood, stood there and let the servants do the work. Soon he was taken to the front hall and placed next to Fu Yuehua.

The hall was already full of people at this time. Although most of them were not wearing official uniforms, Li Xiuzhu could guess their general idea by looking at their words, actions and demeanor.

Sixty percent of those present here are fat and bloated. They are either wealthy businessmen or officials.

But this is the wedding of the daughter of the Prime Minister, and I'm afraid even wealthy businessmen can't enter the inner courtyard.

Just as the wedding was about to begin, a singing voice suddenly rang out.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

??? The emperor is here? This is unscientific? Why is the emperor coming to join in the fun when the daughter of an official is getting married?

But just when Li Xiuzhu was in a daze, he was suddenly pulled by Fu Yuehua beside him. Seeing that all the civil and military officials in the court had already bowed, Li Xiuzhu hurriedly bowed.

"Fortunately it's not a kneeling ceremony. If it were, it would be too tragic!"

???

Doubts suddenly arose in Fu Yuehua's mind. Could it be that Li Xiuzhu didn't even know the basic etiquette of meeting the emperor?

"Please stand up. Today is not a formal occasion. My dear ministers, please don't be polite."

At this time, his cheap father-in-law Fu Wenhan hurried to the emperor's side.

"I didn't know Your Majesty was coming, and I failed to welcome you. I am terrified that Your Majesty would personally attend my daughter's wedding!"

"You don't need to say more, Lord Fu. You have devoted your life to our Daqian, and you only have a few daughters. I just run a few more steps, what's wrong with that?"

As he spoke, the old emperor looked over and immediately said, "Prime Minister Fu has indeed recruited a good son. With such a good appearance, even I am a little envious."

Even without Fu Yuehua's guidance, Li Xiuzhu knew what to do.

Li Xiuzhu walked over quickly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your words make me panic. But I think your Majesty is wrong."

"How dare you talk to His Majesty? Apologize immediately."

The cheap father-in-law seemed to be scolding, but in fact he was protecting him, and Long Wei was untouchable.

But the emperor was very interested.

"Oh, then tell me, how did I say something wrong? If you say it right, you will be rewarded. If you say it wrong, you will also be punished."

Li Xiuzhu was not afraid either. He had been in the business for two lifetimes, so how could it be difficult for him to flatter someone in a subtle way?

"I think everyone has their own aesthetic taste, and everyone can tell the difference between beauty and ugliness."

"But if you select three people with regular features, who can tell who is more beautiful?"

"Maybe men prefer the left one, and women prefer the right one?"

The emperor suddenly became curious and asked, "What about the one in the middle? Doesn't anyone like it?"

But Li Xiuzhu naturally didn't dare to say this, as it would offend people to death!

Fu Yuehua was numb, afraid that Li Xiuzhu would speak out his true feelings, which would kill him! He was the emperor's close attendant.

“Maybe the kids will like it!”

"Huh~" Fu Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to hear one's inner voice is not necessarily a good thing. It can easily scare one into falling sick.

"Well, well said, you are indeed talented."

The emperor praised Li Xiuzhu and did not forget to reward him.

"Come here, the reward is a pair of Ruyi and a pair of Golden Lions, the reward is a thousand taels!"

Li Xiuzhu was very tactful and bowed again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Only then could Li Xiuzhu get a good look at the emperor. The emperor looked to be just entering middle age, about 30 years old, with a little beard, and was well-groomed.

Apart from that, he looks quite handsome. After all, he has royal genes and his mother is a beauty.

But that's just the way it is, much worse than him, no wonder the emperor envied him.

This is even before we've peed or bathed together, or else he'd be crying with envy! "No, I have to stay away, or what if the old guy sees me and makes me feel inferior? If envy turns to jealousy, I'll be in trouble."

Fu Yuehua: ???

What is this bastard mumbling about? "Is your son-in-law interested in becoming an official?"

997? Kneeling down? Living on the edge of death?

Without waiting for his cheap father-in-law to speak, Li Xiuzhu directly refused.

And after reading so many online articles, he had already thought of the reasons! "Your Majesty, I am a humble person with little knowledge and can't even write a few characters. If I become an official, I will only harm the country and the people."

"Besides, I suffer from stomach problems and cannot stand for long periods of time. I can only slowly recuperate by eating soft food every day, so I can only fail to live up to the grace of the Holy Spirit."

"Haha, being an official? Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. Even a dog wouldn't be suitable to be one."

Fu Yuehua was numb. This cheap husband completely refreshed her understanding of scholars.

Although he possessed extraordinary skills, he was unwilling to sell them to the emperor.

Isn't it the lifelong goal of scholars to become a minister or an official? And they don't respect the emperor's power at all. What kind of books are they reading? "Oh, that's a pity, but I can't delay it because I'm sick."

"Mr. Fu, I will send an imperial physician to check on your son-in-law tomorrow."

"I thank your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The emperor naturally wouldn't stay too long, and the wedding began.

"Bow to heaven and earth!"

"Bow to your parents!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

After the worship, the emperor said a few words to his cheap father-in-law and left.

After sending his cheap wife back to the bridal chamber, Li Xiuzhu went out to toast.

During this session, Steward Ma accompanied the whole process and pointed out which official was which.

It seems that working in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not easy. Just remembering people is a technical job.

When Li Xiuzhu returned to the bridal chamber, he suddenly fell down, looking dazedly at the figure in red in front of him, and gave a silly smile.

"Drink, I'm not drunk!"

Fu Yuehua paused, but was not surprised. She just stood up and walked down, grabbed Li Xiuzhu's hand and lifted the red veil.

The next second, a stunningly beautiful face appeared in Li Xiuzhu's eyes.

PS: Seeing how hard the young author works, it's not too much to ask for a monthly ticket, right? If there are recommendation tickets, it's not too much to give some recommendation tickets, right? In addition, I don't know why I can't reply to the comments in the background. I'm speechless. This is not the studio, but the old author!      (End of this chapter)
