Chapter 20: Marriage (II)
In the afternoon, the sun hangs high overhead, but it still makes people feel cold and windy.
A carriage hired to load goods moved along the road, and beside the carriage were two men, both on horseback, chatting as they went.
"My lord, there is a lot of farmland here, and the scenery is very beautiful, I didn't expect your home to be in such a place. Chai Jia said proudly.
This time he met with the marshal, and Chai Jia was promoted to a team leader in one fell swoop and became an official, which made him feel like he was in a dream.
I am also grateful to Dashuai and Wang Shoutian.
And, seeing the two talking cordially at the venue, Chai Jia remembered the rumors in the secret - it seems that it is not impossible for this adult to inherit the position of the handsome!
Thinking that he had taken refuge in this lord, he was satisfied, and he celebrated his original choice.
Besides, I am right, the scenery around here is really good, blue sky, snow, distant mountains, near forests, peaceful country roads, occasionally you can see one or two small animals, jumping on the branches full of snow.
The fresh air made Wang Shoutian's mood better.
"Yes, unlike the other side of Jishui County, this side has been less invaded by war, and the villages and towns have not been damaged much, so it can be regarded as a paradise. Wang Shoutian said with a smile as he urged the horses under his seat to walk slowly.
Although it is not very far from the area of Jishui County, the situation here is very stable through several important checkpoints, which is the core area of the town.
"No, the situation here is much better than that from other places, not only is it peaceful, but this land is also very spiritual!" said the old man who was hired temporarily and pulled the car and had not made a sound.
"Oh, old man, tell me, how do you have an aura method?" Chai Jia asked in a good mood.
"This place is a place for officials, there have been many officials before, in the past year or two, there has been an official in our neighboring village, and he is still a young student!" The old man thought for a while and said: "It is an official surnamed Wang, I heard that it is because he drank the water here and ate the food here that he was full of aura when he was young, so he was selected to be an official." ”
Wang Shoutian was surprised, he really didn't expect that this old man actually mentioned himself, and he thought about it, although this place has produced high-ranking officials since ancient times, but in recent years, within a radius of 100 miles, there has been no more people worth boasting about, and the only one who can take the shot may really be himself, right?
Wang Shoutian, who didn't want to be the protagonist of the discussion, hurriedly diverted the topic and said to Chai Jia: "It's not early, let's hurry up!"
"Yes, sir. Seeing that it was already dusk, Chai Jia also felt a little hungry, looking at the outline of the village and town gradually appearing in front of him, he also wanted to hurry to the destination, so that he could have a full meal and rest well, so as to experience the joy of today's promotion.
The group sped up speed, and as they entered the village, the old man who was driving the car began to show surprise on his face.
Looking at this route, and then at the two people in front of him, recalling that this seemed to be the name of the guard for this little offspring, the old man suddenly thought of a possibility.
He cautiously asked, "You ...... Are you going to the king's house?"
"To be exact, it's to go back to the king's house. Chai Jia turned his head and said, "My lord is the king official you said!"
Ignoring the car boss, Wang Shoutian's eyes had already begun to search the Lu Mansion in front of him.
"Huh?" Wang Shoutian's face suddenly became a little strange, which made Chai Jia on the side notice.
"My lord, what's wrong?" Chai Jia thought something was wrong, and immediately felt the hilt of the knife and scanned the surroundings to see if there were any dangerous people.
"I'll go first!" Wang Shoutian didn't answer Chai Jia's words, so he urged the horse and quickly walked forward.
"My lord!" Seeing this, Chai Jia turned around and urged the car boss to say, "Let's hurry up!"
"Ahh
By the time they caught up with Wang Shoutian, Wang Shoutian was already standing in front of an old mansion.
"My lord, my lord!" Chai Jia hurriedly turned over, took the reins of the horse and came to Wang Shoutian's side, and asked, "...... Is this your residence?"
Wang Shoutian looked at this house, and sighed with some emotion, it was different from last time, this time, there was a change again, and it could be seen that the house was still the same house before, but this gate and this courtyard wall have changed greatly, and they have become extremely magnificent.
"My lord......" Chai Jia saw that Wang Shoutian was a little stunned, and also looked at the gate, but he didn't find anything unusual, so he turned his head and called Wang Shoutian again.
Wang Shoutian woke up and found that he had been standing at the door of his house for too long, perhaps because of the psychological impact of the rebirth experience on him, he suddenly saw the great change in his house, but it made him feel strange, and recalled the despair and pain when he returned home in his previous life, although this emotion was far away from him, but it was still painful.
Probably seeing that Wang Shoutian's face was not very good-looking, Chai Jia also became nervous, and said, "My lord, what's wrong with you? Could it be that something happened?"
"It's fine, it's just that I suddenly feel a little tired. Wang Shoutian took a breath to calm down his inexplicable emotions, then turned his head and said with a reluctant smile.
Some emotions in this body are still really stubborn!
"Do you need to mark the past to call the door?" Chai Jia asked, looking up at the brand-new Wang family plaque.
However, before Wang Shoutian could speak, the closed door suddenly opened from the inside, and two women walked out of it, talking and laughing as they walked.
One of them, Wang Shoutian, knew that it was He Gui, and the other person, Wang Shoutian, just looked a little familiar.
At this time, He Gui and the woman also saw the person standing at the door, and they were all stunned.
"Little official, are you back?" The first to wake up was He Gui.
Seeing that Wang Shoutian had a tired look on his face, the woman was also eye-catching, so she hurriedly said goodbye and left.
"Little official, I really didn't expect you to come back so soon, Madame will be very happy to know, the happy event at home is waiting for you to come back to do it." He Gui said with a smile.
Wedding?
Wang Shoutian remembered what his mother had mentioned to him in the letter before, and his expression suddenly softened, and his mother said that he could only marry him as a concubine, but he could marry him in advance, and if he had a son in the future, he would consider how to promote him to a flat wife.
After all, in ancient times, there were actually very few equal wives, and normal families, especially officials, were extremely protective of the orthodoxy of monogamy and polygonal concubinage, because it involved the issue of family inheritance.
However, if you don't fight for this title, it will be even more miserable, according to the family law, the wife can even execute the concubine, as long as the husband is gently notified afterwards.
I don't want to, this problem was suddenly solved by the marshal, according to the reason, in ancient times, the wife can sit firmly, the background is the most important, if the marshal wants to set him, he will never tolerate his recklessness, even if he marries, when the marshal sets him up as the heir, he can let him divorce his wife, and he must not resist.
I don't want to be the handsome who allowed or even encouraged this, so what's the explanation?
Wang Shoutian was very confused.
"I haven't been at home during this time, and you and Uncle Xu have worked hard. Wang Shoutian had to smile first.
Seeing that Wang Shoutian was a little tired, He Gui didn't delay at the door for too long, and hurriedly said, "Then let's go in quickly, are you hungry?" I'll ask the kitchen to fry a few dishes for you in a while...... By the way, who is this?"
She saw Chai Jia following behind and asked Wang Shoutian.
"Oh, this is Chai Team Zheng," Wang Shoutian said, and said to Chai Jia behind him: "The things in the car will be moved to the concierge first, and then let Hegui find you a room, and go to sleep after eating." ”
"Yes, my lord!" said Chai Jia.
Subsequently, a large number of rewards were carried into the house, and the paid car owners also left.
Looking at the silk and the two large seals of silver in front of him, He Gui couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
"Madame would be very happy to know that the petty official is so promising. He Gui said while taking Wang Shoutian to the inner hall.
Chai Jia followed first this time, to meet the old lady, and then arranged to go to other courtyards, after all, in a place like an inner house, it is not like a strange man to come in.
"Tian'er, let my mother take a look...... It's not that he is tall, but this face is darker than last time......" Seeing his son Wang Shoutian appear in front of him, Wang hurriedly said, followed by Zhao Wan.
Zhao Wan is now wearing a hairpin ring skirt, with bright eyes and bright teeth, although she is not a stunning beauty, but she is also moving, when she raised her eyes, Wang Shoutian was stunned.
The mind is different, and the people are also different, looking at Zhao Wan, I can always feel comfortable in my heart.
"Mother, this is Chai Team. Being fiddled with by the Wang family like a child in front of He Gui and Zhao Wan, Wang Shoutian whispered with some embarrassment.
Chai Jia "snapped" and gave a big salute to the Wang family: "Give the old lady a salute!"
"Oh, get up, Chai Guanren. Wang hurriedly said, the team is positive, that is, he has the official body of the ninth grade.
"Are you hungry?" Hegui, get my son and Chai Guanren some sumptuous dinner. Wang turned his face and said to He Gui, who was standing beside him, "The journey must have been very hard. ”
"Yes, the slave is going to urge it. He Gui looked at Wang Shoutian's mother and son and Zhao Wan, who was slightly red on the side, pursed his lips and smiled, and went out.
Chai Jia also has to follow.
"Wait a minute, this is the little lady I talked about with Dashuai. Wang Shoutian pointed at Zhao Wan and said.
Chai Jia was unequivocal and also knelt down: "Give the little lady a salute." ”
“...... Don't dare!" Zhao Wan was suddenly shocked and at a loss, but she was not a simple and gentle person by nature, otherwise it would not be possible to follow her for more than ten years, so she hurriedly returned the salute.
He Gui and Wang's faces also changed, courtiers and subordinates saluted the boss's wife, which was justifiable, but saluting the concubine was different, which was similar to humiliating his subordinates.
Only princes and above, their concubines have the qualifications to be visited by their subordinates.
Little official, what does this mean?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and when Chai Jia finished saluting, Wang Shoutian signaled that he could leave, and at this time, He Gui woke up and left with Chai Jia.
