Hears wife's words, Chu Zhongtian was silent, the Great Zhou landscape is great ancestor Sovereign hits, but great ancestor's heir died in battle in the reunification war one after another, therefore great ancestor's younger brother adopts the own second son to the great ancestor, is current King Qi. 听到妻子的话,楚中天沉默了,大周的江山是太祖皇帝打下来的,可太祖的子嗣在统一战争中相继阵亡,于是太祖的弟弟将自己的二儿子过继给太祖,也就是当今的齐王 In a frigid war the great ancestor is perishing together with Foreign Race expert, the son who because adopts is little, the power that just won is unstable, therefore before the end, passed to Brother own the throne, is Taizong Sovereign. 一次惨烈的战争中太祖在与异族强者同归于尽,因为过继的儿子还小,刚刚打下的江山还不稳定,于是临终前将皇位传给了自己的弟弟,也就是太宗皇帝 Taizong Sovereign carries forward the great ancestor unfulfilled will, a series whole wide world six directions, the old wound of because what a pity in the battlefield receiving are too many, in many years were also the limit, but when chooses the successor actually to worry. 太宗皇帝继承太祖遗志,一统八荒六合,可惜因为战场上受的旧伤太多,没过多少年也达到了大限之际,可在选择继承人的时候却犯了难。 Properly speaking his throne Elder Brother come from that lineage/vein, in the past were also because considered that King Qi was too small, for the future of family and country, is replaced by him, now should give back to King Qi that grew up the throne. 按理说他的皇位来自哥哥那一脉,当年也是因为考虑到齐王太小,为了家族和国家的未来,才由他顶替,如今应该将皇位还给长大的齐王 However the person then has the selfishness, although in fact King Qi is also his son, but has adopted to the great ancestor, was another person, naturally could not compare true eldest son King of Jin. 但是人便有私心,尽管实际上齐王也是他的儿子,但已经过继给了太祖,是另外一房的人了,自然比不上自己真正的长子晋王。 Therefore he then resorted to a small method, who ordering two people first to break through the boundary of Earth Immortal, then passed to anyone the throne. 因此他便耍了个小手段,下令两人谁先突破地仙之境,便将皇位传给谁。 At that time King of Jin compared with second son King Qi old, in addition Taizong as Sovereign, the resources that can utilize were definitely richer, he assisted in secret, King of Jin naturally took the lead to break through to Earth Immortal realm, then smooth to become section inherited the throne, is now the Sovereign Gaozong. 当时晋王本就比次子齐王年长很多,再加上太宗身为皇帝,能动用的资源肯定更丰富,他暗中相助,晋王自然率先突破到地仙境界,便顺利成章继承了皇位,也就是当今皇上高宗。 The old minister who however in the past was loyal to great ancestor lineage/vein also has, great ancestor's wife clan that lineage/vein naturally also support King Qi, to comfort this batch of strong influences, Taizong then raises ambiguous has let their brother finally younger brothers, this subsided a disaster. 不过当年忠于太祖一脉的老臣还有很多,太祖的妻族那一脉自然也是支持齐王的,为了安抚这批强大的势力,太宗便模棱两可提过让他们兄终弟及,这才平息了一段祸事。 But hundred years pass by, Gaozong also approaches the period of Celestial Five Wanings, he actually sets up the son is Crown Prince, this naturally caused a disaffection of King Qi department, in addition Crown Prince the posture of doctrine of the mean, could not compare King Qi shocking and stunning talent by far, many other courtier also had the thoughts. 可百年过去,高宗也临近天人五衰之期,他却立自己儿子为太子,这样自然引起了齐王一系的不满,再加上太子本就中庸之姿,远远比不上齐王惊才绝艳,很多其他朝臣也动了心思。 But Gaozong worked as over a hundred years of Sovereign after all, the trusted aide influence is also strong enough, these years two groups have struggled. 但高宗毕竟当了上百年皇帝,心腹势力也足够强大,这些年两个集团一直明争暗斗。 Chu Family has the salt and iron two big industries, it may be said that is the rich enemy, like this pivotal respected family will naturally win over by both sides, but Chu Zhongtian is not willing to be involved in the struggle of crown prince, remains neutral, few days ago the Imperial Family faction planned sends people to look for Chu Family to discuss marriage, ties up the chariot it thoroughly. 楚家有着盐铁两大产业,可谓是富可敌国,这样的举足轻重的大家族自然会被双方所拉拢,但楚中天不愿意卷入皇储之争,一直保持中立,前些日子皇室派系打算派人来找楚家提亲,将其彻底绑上战车。 Husband and Wife Chu is awkward, because Chu Family is different from the common family, the huge secrets cannot be known by the bystander, but Chu Chuyan these years haunched half Chu Family, if her were married, entire Chu Family will also fall into by the risk that the person annexes immediately. 楚氏夫妇非常为难,因为楚家不同于一般家族,有一个天大的秘密不能被外人知晓,而楚初颜这些年又撑起了半个楚家,若是她被人娶走,整个楚家也会马上陷入被人吞并的风险。 Chu Chuyan is also clear about all these, therefore proposed gains a son-in-law, looked for in a city the fellow of most waste, when live in son-in-law, held the wedding hurriedly, completely cut off Sovereign and King Qi two schools of thoughts. 楚初颜也清楚这一切,所以主动提出招婿,找了一个城里最废物的家伙当上门女婿,匆忙举行婚礼,彻底断绝了皇帝齐王两派的心思。 Therefore Qin Wanru suspected that this time destroys spiritual spring is the person who Sovereign or King Qi send. 所以秦晚如才怀疑这次毁坏灵泉皇帝或者齐王派来的人。 No matter which side, our following days will not feel better,” Chu Zhongtian sinking sound said, Sang Hong must take over Linchuan Prefecture Governor immediately.” Brightmoon City then in the Linchuan Prefecture area of jurisdiction. “不管是哪一方,我们接下来的日子都不会好过了,”楚中天沉声说道,“桑弘马上要接任临川郡太守了。”明月城便是在临川郡的辖区内。 The Qin Wanru complexion changes: Grand Minister of Agriculture assist Sang Hong!” 秦晚如脸色微变:“大司农桑弘!” Grand Minister of Agriculture is one of the Nine Minister, is in charge of the state finance, the Grand Minister of Agriculture assist is the Grand Minister of Agriculture second in command, is the salt and iron that Sang Hong this person usually regulated, is the Sovereign trusted subordinate, this time was sent to hold the post of Linchuan Prefecture to defend, clarifies came to Chu Family. 大司农九卿之一,主管国家财政,大司农丞是大司农的二把手,桑弘此人素来监管的便是盐铁,是皇帝的亲信,这次被派来担任临川郡守,摆明了是冲楚家来的嘛。 Usually heard that this person of cruel and merciless, refuses to acknowledge family, these year of Capital do not know that many aristocrats were made to be with one's family broken up and decimated by him, this time our Chu Family was perhaps dangerous.” A Qin Wanru face worried. “素闻此人心狠手辣,六亲不认,这些年京城不知道多少贵族被他弄得家破人亡,这次我们楚家恐怕危险了。”秦晚如一脸担忧。 Sees the wife who usually strove to excel to reveal the delicate color, Chu Zhongtian hugs into the bosom her: adopt measures appropriate to the actual situation, our Chu Family is not good to bully, his Sang Hong is also Eighth Rank, when the time comes who will be the winner also cannot know.” 见素来要强的妻子露出柔弱之色,楚中天将她搂入怀中:“兵来将挡水来土掩,我们楚家也不是好欺负的,他桑弘也不过是个八品,到时候鹿死谁手还未可知。” Qin Wanru white husband eyes: Whether does not only look at individual cultivation base difficult to deal with, outside the city Dragon Concealing Mountain thief Chen Xuan is Sixth Rank, haven't so many years seen you to extinguish him?” 秦晚如白了丈夫一眼:“是否难对付又不是只看个人修为的,城外龙隐山的大盗陈玄不过是个六品,这么多年也没见你灭了他?” Chu Zhongtian snort/hum: Chen Xuan that fellow slides very much, when hard to get hold can barely catch a glimpse, waits for me to obtain the news to hurry to each time he has disappeared without the trace, therefore I suspect in this city to have his planted agent to disclose secret information to him, otherwise so many years, how possibly cannot catch him!” 楚中天哼了一声:“陈玄那家伙滑得很,神龙见首不见尾,每次等我得到消息赶去时他已经消失无踪了,所以我怀疑这城中有他的内应给他通风报信,不然这么多年,怎么可能抓不到他!” A Qin Wanru eyeball revolution: This group of thieves not only sell the illegal salt, the caravan that but also rob and kill passed by, throws this issue to Sang Hong, he defends as the county, is it possible that also sits by and does nothing inadequately.” 秦晚如眼珠一转:“这群大盗不仅贩卖私盐,还劫杀路过的商队,把这个问题扔给桑弘,他身为郡守,莫非还坐视不管不成。” Chu Zhongtian at present one bright: „The Madame great idea, right, to hear that recently the Yu Family caravan must come Brightmoon City, must inform them, so as to avoid being ambushed...... oh to hurt by Chen Xuan that group of people......” 楚中天眼前一亮:“夫人好主意,对了,听说最近玉家的商队要来明月城,得通知一下他们,免得被陈玄那批人伏击了……哎哟疼疼疼……” He has not said, was seized the ear by Qin Wanru: I thought that you are worried mistress Yu Yanluo, the Yushu jade branch makes Yanluo, in the past Capital first beauty, you had not been concerned about face have pursued others, what a pity finally she married Yunzhong County Duke. What's wrong, do you also want to seize the chance to continue the predestined affinity now to be inadequate again?” 他还没说完,便被秦晚如掐住耳朵:“我看你是担心人家女主人玉烟萝吧,玉树琼枝作烟萝,当年京城的第一美人儿,你还不要脸地追求过人家,可惜最后她嫁给了云中郡公。怎么,你如今还想趁机再续前缘不成?” Chu Zhongtian quickly begs for mercy: Madame, others got married so many years, which my will have other ideas, must speak irresponsibly not.” 楚中天急忙求饶:“夫人,人家都成亲这么多年了,我哪还会有其他想法,莫要乱说。” Qin Wanru has not actually let go, cold snort/hum: But as far as I know, Yunzhong County Duke passed away few days ago accidentally/surprisingly, but now Yu Yanluo single.” 秦晚如却没有松手,冷哼一声:“可据我所知,云中郡公前些日子意外过世了,如今玉烟萝可是单身哦。” Chu Zhongtian at present one bright: Really?” 楚中天眼前一亮:“真的?” He feels the side to transmit the vision of two murders immediately, quickly changed a statement: Madame, my these do not know, showed I have not paid attention to her, you are not do not know that let alone my situation, which will have what thoughts.” 他马上感受到身旁传来两股杀人的目光,急忙改口道:“夫人,我连这些都不知道,证明我从来没关注过她呀,更何况你又不是不知道我的情况,哪还会有什么心思。” Seeing him looks dejected, Qin Wanru quickly loosens his ear: Husband, sorry.” 见他神情黯然,秦晚如急忙松开他的耳朵:“夫君,对不起啊。” Chu Zhongtian shakes the head: Is I am unfair to you.” 楚中天摇了摇头:“是我对不起你。” Qin Wanru I should like to see he so, quickly does not put aside the topic: Right, where Chuyan to?” 秦晚如不欲见他如此,急忙移开话题:“对了,初颜到哪儿去了?” Chu Zhongtian replied: She led the Pei Family young lady to play to the city.” 楚中天答道:“她带裴家的小姐到城中游玩去了。” A Qin Wanru brow wrinkle: Her come from Pei Family, should be a King Qi lineage/vein person, this time suddenly comes Brightmoon Academy to study, always thought that she somewhat harbors evil intentions.” 秦晚如眉头一皱:“她来自裴家,应该是齐王一脉的人吧,此番忽然来明月学院读书,总觉得她有些居心不良。” Chu Zhongtian laughs: Relax, your family Chuyan is so intelligent, in heart own discretion.” 楚中天哈哈一笑:“放心吧,你家初颜那么聪明,心中自有分寸的。” Qin Wanru snort/hum: That Pei Mianman is young, actually lives beguiling child that likely inverts all living things, that pair of amorous eyes as if in the seduce man, I do not like her momentarily.” 秦晚如哼了一声:“那个裴绵曼年纪不大,却生得像个颠倒众生的狐媚子似的,那一双桃花眼似乎随时都在勾引男人,我不喜欢她。” Chu Zhongtian cannot help laughing: don't tell me you also worried that she will snatch the man with Chuyan?” 楚中天哑然失笑:“难道你还担心她会跟初颜抢男人?” Thinks that Zu An that unlucky type, is very difficult to imagine Pei Mianman to have a liking for him, Qin Wanru could not bear smile: She must really rob that scoundrel, I also look forward.” 想到祖安那倒霉样,实在很难想象裴绵曼会看上他,秦晚如也忍不住笑了起来:“她要真把那混账抢走,我还巴不得呢。” Achoos ~ 阿嚏~ Zu An sneezes ruthlessly, thought that does not know is which Miss Madame is missing herself. 祖安狠狠地打了个喷嚏,心想也不知道是哪家的夫人小姐在思念自己。 son-in-law, you received the cold, small this looks for thick clothes to put on to you.” A startled for the first time sound resounds, Zu An has not responded, a person's shadow then takes clothes to encircle in his body. 姑爷,您受了风寒么,小的这就给你找件厚衣服穿上。”一个一惊一乍的声音响起,祖安还没反应过来,一个人影便拿着一件衣裳围在他身上 Zu An, is gazing at the present youngster dumbfounded, roughly the 14 or 15-year-old appearance, blue clothes, the head is going against two steamed bun same chignons, an eye is actually very big, looks at the soft and fair skin. 祖安一愣一愣地,注视着眼前的少年,约莫十四五岁的样子,一身蓝色的衣服,头上顶着两个馒头一样的发髻,一双眼睛倒是挺大的,看着细皮嫩肉的。 „It is not, buddy you who?” “不是,哥们儿你谁呀?” son-in-law folds the ghost slightly, those who are small is your book child.” Smile that a youngster face flattered. 姑爷折煞小的了,小的是你的书童啊。”那少年一脸谄媚的笑容。 Book child?” Zu An first stares, then responded that should be before mentioned must go to the matter of bright moonlight academy, but goes to the family private school, used is also matching the book child specially? “书童?”祖安先是一愣,接着反应过来应该是之前提到要去明月书院的事,不过就是去个家族私塾而已,用的着还专门配书童么? It seems like this Duke mansion is really golden rich family, un, I like. 看来这个公爵府果然是狗大户啊,嗯,我喜欢。 What did you call me to come?” “你叫我什么来着?” son-in-law?” 姑爷?” I have not heard clearly, big sound?” “我没听清,大点声?” son-in-law!” 姑爷!” Good good, your boy promising.” “不错不错,你小子有前途。” A Zu An face blossoms immediately happily, since came to this world, without coming across a satisfactory matter, although Duke mansion son-in-law, but this your family place who pays attention to him? Let alone shouted him son-in-law on own initiative. 祖安一张脸顿时乐开了花,自从来了这个世界,没碰到一件顺心事,虽说是公爵府的女婿,但这府上谁把他放在眼里?更别说主动喊他姑爷了。 The rarity has the young book child so to be tactful, Zu An thought that from head to toe is much more comfortable. 难得有个小书童还这般识趣,祖安觉得浑身上下舒坦得不得了。 Right, did you name the character?” “对了,你叫啥名字?” That small book child spirit shakes, quickly replied: Returns to son-in-law, small calling Cheng Shouping.” 那小书童精神一震,急忙答道:“回姑爷,小的叫成守瓶。” What bottle?” Zu An thought that what the common book child did not call Fu Wangcai, at the worst called Hua'an and so on, simply was better to record is better, how did this fellow name listen is so strange? “啥瓶?”祖安心想一般书童不都叫来福旺财什么的,大不了叫华安之类的,越简单好记越好,这家伙名字怎么听着这么古怪? Cheng Shouping, keeping one's mouth shut Shouping, in the past Master personally to the name that I bestowed!” Mentioned this, the small book child throwing out the chest chest cavity, proud said. 成守瓶,守口如瓶的守瓶,当年老爷亲自给我赐的名字呢!”说起这个,小书童挺起了胸膛,一脸骄傲地说道。 Ok, can obtain Master to bestow the name unexpectedly personally.” Although Zu An does not know the custom of this world, which world but wants to come to be the same, the master bestows is a huge glory, like previous life that Zheng Chenggong, after Sovereign bestows the surname, each and everyone reveres to call it the country surname master. “可以啊,竟然能得到老爷亲自赐名。”祖安虽然不知道这个世界的风俗,但想来哪个世界都一样,主人赐名都是一种天大的荣耀,像前世那个郑成功,被皇帝赐姓后,一个个都尊称其为国姓爷。 son-in-law overpraised, in the past I worked side Master, was deep Master to like, afterward after being moved the kitchen, this thinks where annoys Master is not happy, now actually knows that was arranged to make son-in-law your book child, this knows that the Master painstaking efforts, a few years ago can certainly whet me, making me prepare for accepting important mission.” Cheng Shouping mentioned these two to shine, a face exciting appearance. 姑爷过奖了,当年我在老爷身边做事,深得老爷欢喜,后来被调到后厨,本以为有哪里惹老爷不高兴了呢,如今却得知被安排做姑爷您的书童,这才知道老爷的良苦用心,前些年一定是可以磨砺我,让我做好接受更重要使命的准备。”成守瓶说起这些两眼都在放光,一脸激动的模样。 How wait/etc......” Zu An thought that more listens not to the taste, his son-in-law what's the matter he is clear, this fellow also thinks that is a cushy job? “等等……”祖安怎么觉得越听越不对味呢,他这个姑爷是怎么回事他再清楚不过,这家伙还以为是个美差? It seems like the intelligence quotient is not high. 看来智商不怎么高呀。 Moreover this fellow works side Master Chu from the beginning obviously, why after being sent to frontier service, kitchen such place? 而且这家伙一开始明明在楚老爷身边做事的,为什么被发配到后厨那样的地方了? However these things he does not care obviously, cares with the related issue: Listened to you to say a moment ago, you should stay in Chu Family were very long, should know many things.” 不过这些事情他显然也不怎么在意,更关心与自己相关的问题:“听你刚才说的,你应该在楚家呆了很久了,应该知道很多事吧。” Cheng Shouping patted striking one's chest: That is natural, on this Chu Residence arrives at Master Madame, below arrives at the cook young male servant, does not have the matter that I do not know.” 成守瓶拍了拍胸脯:“那是自然,这楚府上到老爷夫人,下到伙夫小厮,就没有我不知道的事情。” Zu An just wants to inquire the information of your family place, must know that he comes for two days, so many people have wanted to drive him to commit suicide, but he has not known where the issue leaves, making him have a huge sense of crisis. 祖安正想打探一下府上的情报,要知道他才来两天,已经这么多人想置他于死地了,可他还不知道问题出在哪里,让他有一种巨大的危机感。 He thinks to ask: You know why Chu Family will elect me for the son-in-law?” This is he most has doubts, must know that Chu Chuyan from appearance figure family background, top, but Zu An of this world, which angle from looks is waste, normal these two should not have happening together, became the couple unexpectedly, was really strange. 他想了想问道:“你知道楚家为什么会选我为婿么?”这是他最疑惑的,要知道楚初颜从模样身段家世,都是顶级的,而这个世界的祖安,从哪个角度看都是废物一个,正常来说这两人都不应该有交集的,竟然结为了夫妇,实在是太诡异了。 Hears his issue puzzled, Cheng Shouping visits him: don't tell me is not because son-in-law handsome like a jade tree dashing?” 听到他的问题,成守瓶一脸疑惑地看着他:“难道不是因为姑爷玉树临风英俊潇洒么?” The Zu An eye was straight, the skill that this fellow talked nonsense seriously also really quite had Sir's several points of appearance: cough cough, although I know what you said is the truth, but also has other reasons?” 祖安眼睛都直了,这家伙一本正经的胡说八道的本事还真是颇有本大爷的几分神采:“,虽然我知道你说的是实话,但还有没有其他原因呢?” Without, was the young lady looked at that time you led to select you.” Cheng Shouping thinks your fellow except for this, but also looks to obtain other merits, don't tell me have not selected the B number, naturally these ideas he has not displayed slightly, at this moment his look and expression must sincerely sincere. “没有了啊,当时就是小姐看你帅就选中你了。”成守瓶心想你这家伙除了这点,还找不找得出其他优点,难道自己心里没有点B数么,当然这些想法他丝毫没表现出来,此刻他的眼神和表情要多诚恳就有多诚恳。 „, You said that was the young lady selected me personally?” Zu An keenly the information that notices in his words to disclose. “哦,你说是小姐亲自选中了我?”祖安敏锐地注意到他话中透露出来的信息。 Yes, Madame was not at that time satisfied, urging her to think.” Cheng Shouping replied. “是啊,当时夫人还不怎么满意,劝她三思呢。”成守瓶答道。 Zu An hits to block the way directly: „These unimportant words are not no need to say again.” 祖安直接打断道:“这些不重要的话就不必再说了。” His speculation is Chu Chuyan has to marry itself concerned about the life of parents from the beginning, therefore was disgruntled had the murderous intention, may according to Cheng Shouping say that can rule out this possibility directly. 他一开始猜测是楚初颜碍于父母之命不得不嫁给自己,所以心生不满起了杀机,可按照成守瓶说的,可以直接排除这种可能了。 But why will Chu Chuyan be from oneself is a son-in-law? A miss pair of pupil is very bright, is not blind. 楚初颜为什么会选自己为婿呢?那姑娘一对眸子挺明亮的,不瞎啊。 Bah bah, is she is certainly subdued by my handsome appearance, is greedy my body. 呸呸呸,一定是她被我英俊的容颜所折服,馋我的身子。
