Chapter 165 I am willing to serve the princess as my master
Tongfu Inn is still crowded and very lively.
The Qian family’s matter has not yet passed, and everyone is discussing it, waiting to see how it will end.
Some people even set up stalls to gamble whether the Qian family would marry their daughter to Sun Shouxin.
The ratio of those who don’t get married is one to ten, and no one is optimistic about it.
As a result, more people came to the inn to place bets. Even the private rooms upstairs were fully booked, and young men came to join in the fun.
When they were chatting animatedly, a man in plain clothes appeared in the lobby, attracting countless people's attention.
"Young Master Sun is out."
The noisy lobby suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Sun Shouxin. He was wearing clothes that were washed white and had a frank expression.
"Boss, I want a meal."
The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic towards him. He was the God of Wealth. Business had boomed since he moved in.
Therefore, his three meals a day and room fees were waived.
"Mr. Sun, please sit down first..."
Looking at the packed lobby, the shopkeeper was momentarily at a loss for words. "How about you go back to your room and I'll have someone bring it over?"
The window of the upstairs box opened, and a young man appeared at the window, "Mr. Sun, I am Shi Dongyang, the son of the Second Assistant, and I would like to invite you to have a glass of water and wine. Thank you for your presence."
Sun Shouxin hesitated for a moment. Shi Dongyang kept inviting him warmly, so Sun Shouxin couldn't refuse. "Thank you very much. I'll be in for a chat then."
Sun Shouxin went into the box, where more than a dozen noblemen, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, were sitting.
He was a little reserved, so everyone quickly asked him to sit down.
"Mr. Sun, how is your marriage with the eldest daughter of the Qian family progressing? Do you need any help?"
Someone bet on him to win, and he was so anxious.
Sun Shouxin was sitting by the window. He sighed softly, a look of regret on his face. "I was impulsive before and shouldn't have mentioned the marriage in public. I also dragged the eldest daughter of the Qian family into this. She is the most innocent."
Shi Dongyang laughed, "What's the big deal? All you have to do is marry her and treat her well, and that will be enough to repay your mother's kindness."
"Yes, with the marriage certificate and token in hand, if the Qian family dares to break the contract, everyone will curse them to death."
"That's right, it's not nice to have a woman marry twice. If she breaks the promise, who would dare to marry her? Anyway, we wouldn't dare."
The Qian family was considered a newly emerging powerful family. They had a first-rank lady with an imperial title, a second-rank official, a provincial governor, and a confidant of the emperor.
Some of the old nobles looked down on the Qian family, but the civil servants flocked to them and wanted to establish a relationship with them.
Even though the Qian family never participates in social activities, invitations to the Qian family still pile up like a mountain.
Sun Shouxin frowned and sighed softly, "Ah, some things... are hard to say."
Shi Dongyang loves to join in the fun, and his attitude is very positive. "Tell us, if you have any difficulties, we will help you."
The son of the Minister of Revenue, Tang Zheng quickly agreed, "Right, right."
Sun Shouxin hesitated to speak, full of concerns, "This..."
At this moment, someone shouted from below, "Princess Jinyun is here."
There was chaos upstairs and downstairs, and Shi Dongyang ran down with a group of friends to greet them.
"Princess, why are you here?"
"Please go sit in the box first. There are too many people here and it's too noisy."
These noblemen are arrogant and domineering in front of outsiders, but they are very well-behaved in front of Yun Zheng and even compete to please her.
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. The last competition was very successful and she gained a lot.
"OK."
Everyone was very enthusiastic and tried to squeeze in front of Yun Zheng to show their courtesy, "Princess, sit here, this is the best seat."
"I have a seat here too, sit here."
Tang Zheng rushed to place a pile of food in front of Yun Zheng, "Princess, the snacks in this inn are very ordinary, but the pickled vegetables are quite good. Please try them."
Sun Shouxin stood aside like an unrelated outsider, watching these young men from prominent families circling around Yun Zheng, with a slight smile on his lips.
Princess Jinyun, you are not an ordinary person.
Yun Zheng picked up a pickled duck wing at random and took a bite. "It tastes good."
Tang Zheng was very proud, "Haha, as long as you like it."
Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows and said, "I have a business idea, are you interested..."
Before she could finish, the atmosphere in the box changed and everyone's eyes lit up.
Tang Zheng nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, Princess, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, even until my death."
He expressed his loyalty greatly and danced with joy. He was going to get rich!
Shi Dongyang was unhappy, "Princess, you are biased. Why him? How am I worse than him? Look at me."
Others also shouted, "Princess, why did you choose him? I can do everything he can do, and I can do everything he can't do."
If you hold on to the God of Wealth, you will never have to worry about your life.
Tang Zheng was so angry that he wanted to die. If they kept pulling him down, were they still good brothers?
"Hey, don't go too far."
Shi Dongyang didn't care about him. He squeezed his body and pushed him aside. "Sister, my dear sister, I will listen to you in everything. I only ask you to take me with you."
Others also helped push Tang Zheng to the back, making Tang Zheng jump with anger. "Assholes, you have no moral principles."
Yun Zheng watched them making noise with a smile. They were all fresh blood and helpers.
At this moment, Sun Shouxin came over and bowed, "Greetings to Princess Jinyun."
Yun Zheng raised her eyes, and their gazes met in the air and they exchanged glances.
The plan began.
"Who are you?"
The young man pushed his way through the crowd and stepped forward. "My last name is Sun, and my given name is Shouxin."
Yun Zheng suddenly realized, "So it's you."
"You know me?"
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, "I'm not that ignorant."
Sun Shouxin hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "I've heard that Princess Jinyun is very intelligent. I have a problem that I can't figure out. Please help me."
Yun Zheng picked up a fruit and played with it. Come on, the show is about to begin and everyone is a spectator.
"explain."
Sun Shouxin looked solemn, "Can a marriage between people from different social classes be happy?"
The whole audience was unusually quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen.
Yun Zheng answered nonchalantly, "Half chance."
Sun Shouxin frowned slightly, "Can a marriage without the blessing of parents and family be happy?"
"No." This time, Yun Zheng said it firmly.
Sun Shouxin was silent for a while. "I come from a poor family and I don't have the confidence to provide a young lady with a comfortable life. What should I do?"
Yun Zheng didn't even blink, "Dowry."
Sun Shouxin smiled bitterly, "Without a dowry, the man is just a poor scholar with no ability to make a living."
Yun Zheng said calmly, "That's a difficult situation. I suggest both parties sit down and have a good talk."
Sun Shouxin bowed deeply to her and said, "May I ask the princess to help me thread the needle?"
Tang Zheng was unhappy. "Hey, knowing that my sister is a princess, you still ask her to run errands for you? That's too much. Do you deserve it?"
Sun Shouxin said solemnly, "I have nothing but my unwavering loyalty, and I am willing to serve the princess as my master."
The whole place was silent, eyes widened in disbelief. What? Did I hear that right?
How could a man, a scholar at that, publicly recognize a woman as his master?
Strange news in the world!
However, what happened next overturned their three views and shocked them terribly.
