Chapter 20 Marriage (2)

In the afternoon, the sun was hanging high above my head, but it still made people feel cold and cold.

A carriage hired to load items was moving slowly on the road. Next to the carriage, there were two people walking, both riding horses and chatting while walking.

"Sir, there are so many farmlands here, and the scenery is beautiful. I didn't expect your home to be in such a place." Chai Jiachun said proudly.

This time, when he met with the Grand Marshal, Chai Jia promoted him to the team and became an official, which made him feel like he was in a dream.

I am also very grateful to the Grand Marshal and Wang Shoutian.

Moreover, when he saw the two of them having a cordial conversation at the venue, Chai Jia remembered the secret rumors - it seems that it is not impossible for this adult to inherit the position of the Grand Marshal!

When he thought of his resignation to this lord, he was satisfied and even celebrated his original choice.

Besides, I was right. The scenery nearby was really good. On the blue sky, snow, distant mountains, nearby forests, and peaceful country roads, you can occasionally see one or two small animals jumping on branches covered with snow.

The fresh air made Wang Shoutian feel better.

"Yes, unlike Jishui County, there have been fewer wars here, and the villages and towns have not been damaged much. It can be considered a paradise." Wang Shoutianbian urged the horse under his seat to walk slowly, and said with a smile.

Although this place is not very far from the area of ​​Jishui County, the situation here is very stable across several important checkpoints, which is the core area of ​​the town.

"No, the situation here is much better than other places. Not only is it peaceful, but this land is also very spiritual!" The old man who came temporarily hired and pulled the car without saying a word suddenly said.

"Oh? My father-in-law, tell me, why do you have spiritual skills?" Chai Jia was in a good mood and asked.

"This place is a place where officials are born. There have been many officials in the past. In the past one or two years, an official has been born in our neighboring village, and he is still a young young man!" The old man thought for a while and said, "It is an official named Wang. I heard that it is because he drank the water here and ate the food here. He was full of spiritual energy at a young age, so he was chosen to be an official."

Wang Shoutian was surprised. He really didn't expect that the old man mentioned himself. It was also thought that although there have been generals, prime ministers and senior officials in this place since ancient times, in recent years, there have been no more people worth boasting about within a radius of hundreds of miles. Perhaps the only one who can make a move is really himself?

Wang Shoutian, who didn't want to be the protagonist, quickly changed the topic and said to Chai Jia: "It's getting late, let's hurry up!"

"Yes, sir." Seeing that it was dusk, Chai Jia felt a little hungry. Looking at the outline of the villages and towns that gradually appeared in front of him, he also wanted to arrive at his destination quickly so that he could have a full meal and have a good rest to experience the joy of today's promotion.

The group of people suddenly accelerated. After they entered the village, the old man who was driving the bus gradually showed surprise on his face.

Looking at this route, then the two people in front of you, and recalling that this seemed to be the name of the guard to this young man before, the old man suddenly thought of a possibility.

He asked carefully: "You...are you going to the Wang family?"

"To be precise, it's going back to the Wang family." Chai Jia turned his head and said, "My lord is the official Wang family you mentioned!"

Ignoring the boss of the car, Wang Shoutian's eyes had already begun to search for Lu Zhai in front of him.

"Huh?" Wang Shoutian's face suddenly changed a little strange, which made Chai Jia, who was beside him notice it.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Chai Jia thought something was wrong, so he immediately touched the hilt of the knife and scanned for any dangerous people around him.

"I'll take the lead!" Wang Shoutian didn't answer Chai Jia's words, so he urged the horse and quickly walked forward.

"Sir!" Seeing this, Chai Jia turned around and urged the boss to urge the car, saying, "Let's hurry up too!"

"Ah? Hey!" The owner of the car, who suddenly reacted, slammed the whip and whipped the stupid horse pulling the cart. The horse immediately neighed and accelerated its speed forward.

When they caught up with Wang Shoutian, Wang Shoutian had already stood in front of an old house.

"Sir, sir!" Chai Jia quickly 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 the house and felt a little moved. It was different from last time. This time, there was a change. It can be seen that the house was still the same as before, but the gate and the courtyard wall have changed a lot, becoming extremely grand.

"Sir..." Chai Jia saw that Wang Shoutian was a little stunned and looked at the gate, but found nothing unusual, so he turned to call Wang Shoutian again.

Wang Shoutian woke up and found that he had been standing at his doorstep for too long. Perhaps it was the psychological impact of his rebirth experience on him. He suddenly saw that his house changed drastically, but he felt strange. He recalled the despair and pain when he returned home in his previous life. Although this emotion was far away from him, it was still heart-wrenching.

Perhaps seeing that Wang Shoutian's face was not very good, Chai Jia also became nervous and said, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Is something wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just suddenly feel a little tired." Wang Shoutian took a breath, calming 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 mark and 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 the inside, talking and laughing as they walked.

One of them, Wang Shoutian knew He Gui, while the other one, Wang Shoutian just looked familiar.

At this time, He Gui and the woman were stunned when they saw the people standing at the door.

"Little official, are you back?" He Gui was the first to wake up.

Seeing that Wang Shoutian looked tired on his face, the woman had the eyesight and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Little official, I really didn't expect you to come back so soon. The lady will be very happy to know about it. The family's happy event is waiting for you to come back to do it." He Gui said with a smile.

happy event?

Wang Shoutian remembered what his mother mentioned to him in the letter before, and his expression softened. At that time, his mother said that she could only marry him as a concubine, but she could marry him in advance. After having a son, she would consider how to promote him to a flat wife.

After all, in ancient times, there were actually very few plain wives. Normal families, especially officials, maintained the orthodox system of monogamous and multiple concubines because it involved the issue of family business inheritance.

However, if you don’t compete for this title, it will be even more miserable. According to family rules, your wife can even execute her concubine, as long as you inform your husband lightly afterwards.

Unexpectedly, this problem was suddenly solved by the Grand Marshal. Logically speaking, the most important thing in ancient times was that his origin was to be firmly married. If the Grand Marshal wanted to establish him, he would never tolerate his arbitrary behavior. Even if he married him and the Grand Marshal made him the heir, he could let him divorce his wife and could not resist.

I didn’t expect that the general was allowed or even encouraged this matter. How could this be solved?

Wang Shoutian was very confused.

"I have been away from home during this period. Thank you and Uncle Xu and others for your hard work." Wang Shoutian had no choice but to smile first.

Seeing that Wang Shoutian was a little tired, He Gui didn't delay at the door for too long, so he hurriedly said, "Then go in quickly, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to cook a few dishes for you... By the way, who is this?"

She saw Chai Jia following behind and asked Wang Shoutian.

"Oh, this is the Chai Team Master," Wang Shoutian introduced, and said to Chai Jia behind him: "The things in the car will be moved to the doorman first, and let Hegui find you a room and go to bed after dinner."

"Yes, sir!" Chai Jia said.

Subsequently, a large number of rewards were carried into the mansion, and the boss of the car who received the reward also left.

Looking at the silk and the two seals of silver in front of him, He Gui couldn't close her mouth.

"Madam, if she knew that the little official was so promising, she would definitely be very happy." He Gui said while taking Wang Shoutian to the inner hall.

Chai Jia followed him this time and wanted to pay homage to the old lady, and then arranged to go to other courtyards. After all, it was not very appropriate for strangers to come in in the inner house.

"Tian'er, let my mother see... she is not tall, but her face is darker than last time..." Seeing his son Wang Shoutian appear in front of him, Wang said quickly, but Zhao Wan was following behind.

Zhao Wan is now wearing a hairpin and skirt, with bright eyes and white teeth. Although she is not a stunning beauty, she also has charming features. When she raised her eyes, Wang Shoutian was stunned.

Different feelings and different people are seen. Looking at Zhao Wan, I always feel comfortable.

"Mother, this is Chai Guzheng." Wang Shoutian whispered in awkwardly in front of Hegui and Zhao Wan.

Chai Jia gave Wang a big gift with a "pop": "Greetings to the old lady!"

"Oh, get up, Chai Guanren." Wang said quickly, the team leader was just a ninth-rank official.

"Are you hungry? Hegui, give me some sumptuous dinner for my son and Chaiguanren." Wang turned his face and told Hegui who was standing beside him: "The journey must be very hard."

"Yes, I'll urge you now." He Gui looked at Wang Shoutian and his son, as well as Zhao Wan with a slightly red face, smiled and went out.

Chai Jia also needs to keep up.

"Wait, this is the little lady I talked about with Dashuai." Wang Shoutian pointed at Zhao Wan and said.

Chai Jia did not make any sense and bowed down: "Give me a greeting to the little lady."

"...I dare not!" Zhao Wan was shocked and at a loss, but she was not a simple and gentle person by nature, otherwise she would not have been following her for more than ten years, so she quickly returned the gift.

He Gui and Wang also changed their faces. The ministers and subordinates saluted their superiors and their wives. This was justified, but it was different to saluted their concubines. This was almost humiliating their subordinates.

Only those who are above the king and the prince can have the qualifications to pay homage to their subordinates.

Little official, what does this mean?
