Chapter 1221 Replacement
After returning from the Chu family, the day came soon for Chu Fei and his senior brother to get married.
The eldest brother thought highly of Chu Fei. Not only did he give Prince An a generous betrothal gift, but he also paid a dowry of eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver.
After Mrs. Zhuo received the bride price, she grinned proudly to the back of her ears. On the day of her wedding, she showed off to the second princess, Mrs. Liao and others.
Why don't you show off? The decent aristocratic families in the capital, the distinguished families, the royal relatives, and other people who want to marry a daughter-in-law don't have such generous betrothal fees.
She, the Chu family, married a maid and received such a large bride price. This was enough for the Zhuo family to gain face in front of the second princess and others.
Therefore, the eldest brother understood the situation and liked Mrs. Zhuo's face very much. From then on, he loved and doted on Chu Fei as if he were his own daughter. He also cared about the eldest brother as much as his own son-in-law. He even went so far as to personally visit Chu Fei in the next autumn. I made a big cloak for my senior brother and made Chu Xuanyu eat a jar full of sour vinegar.
Of course, this is all for later.
Mrs. Zhuo was very happy, but she was not a greedy person. The day after she got the bride price, she gave it to Chu Fei and said, "Take it, treat it like a box of silver. With this money, You two don’t have to worry about your future, just live your life well.”
Chu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Princess, this servant is not short of money. The master has already given me a sum of money to put at the bottom of the box."
Moreover, the amount is not small, more than ten thousand taels of silver.
What's more, she has accumulated a sum of money over the years. Although it is not much, it is enough for ordinary people to live their lives.
However, Mrs. Zhuo still forced the bride price to her, "What's yours is yours. This is the bride price. It was given to you by the groom's official. Just take it and go shopping and spend all the money. In this way, Only the groom is a good man.”
Chu Fei no longer refused, but with red eyes, he told Mrs. Zhuo, "From now on, Prince An's Mansion will be my natal home. If I have time, I will definitely go back to my natal home to see you."
After Chu Fei got married, the Lantern Festival came.
On this day, Chu Jingqi, who had been busy for half a month, took Xia Zihan alone to look at the lights on the street.
At the same time, Mr. Zhao and his party entered the Jiangnan area and suddenly changed their route to the northwest.
By the time the emperor received the message, six or seven days had passed, and the Zhao family and his party had entered the northwest region.
"Damn it, we have been deploying in the Jiangnan area for so long, and yet we were let go by Mr. Zhao, a slippery loach." The emperor angrily threw the memorial in his hand.
The Northwest has a small population, a large area, and a vast territory. Although it is a little barren, it is still a good place to hide.
If someone from the Zhao family digs into a cave with no corners, even if he wants to find it, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
The emperor had a headache when he thought that there was such a venomous snake in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to bite him one day.
He decreed, "Immediately find out where the Zhao family has settled."
A minister stood up and suggested, "Your Majesty, the young prince is in the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't we let the young prince lead the troops to the northwest to wipe out the Zhao family."
"He didn't bring enough people." The emperor glared at the minister, and even thought about pushing his cousin to die. Humph, this minister is unforgivable.
In the end, due to the grievances between the Chu family and the Zhao family, the emperor decided that Chu Jingqi would lead the troops to set off immediately to the northwest to wipe out the remaining members of the Zhao family. This imperial edict came so suddenly that Xia Zihan was not prepared for anything. He only had time to pack a few clothes for Chu Jingqi to take with him.
Not long after Chu Jingqi left, Rong San also woke up.
He was in a coma for almost a month. When he woke up, the emperor sent someone back to the Rong family to recuperate. This time he was injured. Although he had no credit, it was considered to be to prevent the Zhao family from being injured. He was injured for the country, so the emperor sealed him. He is the deputy commander of the Flying Tigers.
Therefore, Rong San's injury this time can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
Rong San's relatives and friends who had been gradually alienated from Rong San because of Rong Wu's incident came to visit Rong San as soon as possible after learning the news, trying every possible means to please him.
Especially Mr. Rong Sansi and Mrs. Rongsi, who turned against each other as soon as the incident about Rong Wu came out. After seeing Rong San, they smiled in a flattering manner and salivated, as if Rong San was a delicacy. Swallowed it in one gulp.
"Rong San, you have become more capable now, and you have lost face in front of the emperor. I heard that the emperor values you very much. For your sake, he even called Princess Chu Yu and Doctor Bai to the palace, without food, drink or clothes. I have been guarding you for several days.”
"This is such a great favor from the emperor, Rong San, you must remember it."
"Hey, it's good for you. From now on, the Flying Tigers will be your world, and you have the final say. However, your cousin is still miserable in the Military and Horse Division."
Rong San was lying on the bed with a sullen face and didn't respond, as if he didn't know there was someone chirping around him.
Seeing that Rong San didn't answer and ignored them, Mrs. Rong Si was furious.
However, when she thought of the purpose of her visit, Mrs. Rong Si suppressed her anger and continued, "Rong San, look, your injury is not healed yet, and there is no one to manage your position in the Flying Tigers. Otherwise, Get your cousin to join the Flying Tigers and let him temporarily take over your duties. When you recover, he will return it to you."
Only then did Rong San turn his gaze and stared at Mrs. Rong Si in surprise.
It turns out that this is their purpose, they actually want to give up the position they have worked hard for to their cousin, haha...
He showed an extremely sarcastic smile and said coldly, "Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, I am just a deputy commander. The Flying Tigers also have a chief commander, so the Flying Tigers are the same with or without me. Turn. Also, you asked me to place my cousin as a substitute at will, but have you ever thought about where to put the laws of Dasheng Kingdom?"
Master Rong Si's face turned as white as snow for an instant.
He immediately glared at the woman next to him angrily.
It was this woman who was deceived by eating lard and actually instigated him to persuade Rong San to give up the deputy commander of the Flying Tigers to his son.
According to the laws of the Great Sheng Kingdom, positions cannot be replaced. If you are unable to be on duty for some reason, you can take leave or retire to your hometown. In short, you cannot just let someone replace you.
If so, what else would the emperor do?
If an old prime minister of the Shangshu Pavilion doesn't want to work anymore, can't he just let his relatives do it for him? If this continues, won't the entire Dasheng Kingdom be in chaos?
When Mr. Rong Si thought that he would be rejected by the emperor, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He immediately said, "Rong San, don't take what your aunt said seriously. She is just a woman and doesn't understand anything." .”
Then, he turned to Mrs. Rongsi and cursed loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? That position can be replaced casually? You are living too leisurely. Do you want your son to go to jail?"
