Chapter 128
After the ceremony, there was a banquet. Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian were both men. They didn't need to enter the bridal chamber, so they all toasted outside. Chu Xiangtian had a lot of grievances at the beginning. Everyone was sure that he would not refuse on this good day, so they all started to make a fuss.
Especially Zhou Chuanqing and his group of young men, they caught the opportunity to take revenge and revenge. Not only did they pour Chu Xiangtian, but also Fu Tian was also drunk a lot. Fu Tian was not good at drinking, and he started to feel dizzy after a pot of wine. Chu Xiangtian had no choice but to block the wine for him. In the end, the two of them almost couldn't walk on the table. A group of young men who had played with guiltyly sent the person back to their new house.
The new house is the palace where Chu Xiangtian once lived. It was hung with red silk, with red happy words sticking on the windows, and red candles burning in the room, and joy was everywhere.
Everyone sent the drunken two people into the room, and felt embarrassed to make trouble in the bridal chamber again, leaving one by one faster than the other.
After everyone left, the drunk Chu Xiangtian raised his mouth, got up and locked the door tightly, and then lit a pair of dragon and phoenix candles as thick as his arms.
The red candle burned, emitting a warm warmth. Chu Xiangtian put his outer robe on the chair and slowly walked towards Fu Tian who was sitting on the head of the bed.
Fu Tian was really drunk and had a little drowsy mind. He barely realized what day it was and forced himself to cheer up.
Chu Xiangtian met his misty eyes, his heart softened, and raised his chin to print a kiss.
Fu Tian subconsciously kissed him back, and a whimpering sound like a small beast in his throat. Chu Xiangtian stepped away slightly, his dark eyes met his blurred eyes, and the emotions in his eyes were surging.
Fu Tian, who couldn't get a kiss, tilted his head in confusion, grabbed his clothes with his fingers, muttering vaguely, "Bridal chamber..."
Chu Xiangtian suddenly laughed, lifted the red quilt, and pressed the person into the tent... The dragon and phoenix candle on the table were burning quietly, and occasionally a small fire broke out from the wick. The flames jumped, and the night passed quietly.
The next morning, Fu Tian rubbed his sore waist and complained in a low voice, "I said I don't want it..."
The culprit rubbed the young master's waist hard and his voice was filled with smiles, "Well, then be gentle next time."
Fu Tian kicked him dissatisfiedly and urged him to get faster, "I have to go and pay my respects to the Queen Mother... Is it not too late."
"The queen of mother doesn't care about these false gifts. Besides, there is no one who just passed the wedding and went to pay tribute so early in the morning..." Chu Xiangtian tsk, wanting to sleep until the sun was noon.
But Fu Tian was obviously unwilling to do so. Although the empress dowager was generous, he could be too distorted. After all, he was in the palace. It was so polite to sleep until the sun was noon.
They urged the reluctant Chu Xiangtian to pay tribute to Changshou Palace.
After receiving the rumor of the palace maid, the empress dowager was also surprised. When she saw the youngest son's expression of reluctance, she realized that it was probably Fu Tian who was interested.
She felt relieved and drank Fu Tianjing's tea. After hearing him change his words and call him a mother, she felt satisfied with the son-in-law. She couldn't help but recruit the person to her side and asked Madam Wang to take the money she prepared for the change.
Madam Wang came over with a mahogany box. After taking it, the empress dowager took it and stuffed it directly into Fu Tian's hand. "Open it and see, it's all the people below who are respected. You pick up what you like and let the craftsmen in the palace make you a dress ornament."
Fu Tian opened the box and the mahogany box contained large and small gems, each of which was crystal clear and transparent, and the smallest one was the size of a pigeon egg.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw the queen mother's smile, he stopped again. After he hesitating, he took it with a little shyness, "Thank you mother."
The queen mother laughed at the end of her eyes, patted her shoulder and said with relief: "Good boy."
Carrying the Queen Mother’s reward, Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian returned to the Marquis’s mansion to meet Fu Youqin.
Fu Youqin was surprised when she saw them at this time. Fu Tian understood the meaning of her surprise, her cheeks were slightly red, and she secretly reached out to pinch Chu Xiangtian's waist hard.
Chu Xiangtian took a deep breath of pain. When Fu Youqin turned her head in confusion, she had to hold back and show a calm smile.
The three of them sat down at the main hall. Chu Xiangtian rarely picked up the tea cup in a regular manner and tributed tea to Fu Youqin.
He changed his words smoothly and was not embarrassed at all.
Fu Youqin responded with a smile, handed him a heavy red cloth bag and gave him a few more instructions, and the family went to have breakfast with a smile on their faces.
***
After the wedding, Chu Xiangtian moved to Kangle Hou's Mansion with justification, and he was in the same yard and room as Kangle Hou. Originally, before the wedding, many people secretly speculated that Kangle Hou should have "married" to the Yu Prince's Mansion. No matter what, King Yu was the god of war, he would not be willing to be a villain.
Unfortunately, an imperial edict was later sent to the emperor to give the marriage. Even the wedding ceremony was held in the palace. In addition, many people were shocked, they also gained a deeper understanding of Kang Lehou's status.
Unless they are really stupid, they can't see that the entire royal family is supporting Mr. Kangle.
All the families in Qingyang mentioned Kanglehou to the same position as King Yu - they should not be messed with. As a result, a few days later, it was reported that King Yu moved all his family into Kanglehou Mansion. The King Yu Mansion was vacant, and even the butler of the Prince's Mansion Li Deshun followed him to the Marquis Mansion to serve him.
This really made everyone open their eyes and sigh that King Yu really hurt people to the top of his heart, and he was willing to let Kang Lehou suffer even a little grievance.
Each family hurriedly told their juniors that if they could have a good relationship with Kanglehou, they should have a good relationship. If they really can't do it, they should not get into evil. Offending Kanglehou may be more terrible than offending King Yu.
Of course, these are all news circulating in Qingyang's families. Fu Tian didn't know that after getting married, he and Chu Xiangtian were stolen for a few days, and then they were determined to hit the rice bowl again.
Because the new rice seeds that were promoted to sow in the beginning of spring have finally been harvested.
The weather in the first half of the year was still not very good. It only took two or three rains in six months. Some places even had not fallen. Fortunately, the canal was opened early, and many places also actively digging ditches. A little moisture in the reservoir can barely ensure that the crops will not die.
News from rice shops in various places has been sent one after another. New rice seeds in various places are growing well. Even if they are short of water and hot, they are still growing day by day. By the beginning of July, local officials in various places have also sent good news. Anyone who planted new rice seeds will have a bumper harvest in the first half of the year. This is the first good news that has been heard in the drought in the past three years!
People from all over the world cheered and the shadow of disaster that had been shrouded on their heads all year round finally dispersed. The harvest fields made them see hope. Every household cried with joy with the harvest rice, which was even more lively than during the New Year.
However, although the disaster has eased, the scope of the disaster is too wide, and not every county has been assigned the first batch of rice seeds, and many people from remote counties are still struggling to survive in the disaster.
The emperor summoned Fu Tian and Chu Xiangtian to the palace again to discuss the one million taels of military pay they had donated before.
When Fu Tian set out to the border, he asked Fu Youqin to take out the gold and silver from the secret warehouse of the Fu family's old house to donate it as military pay. However, later he successfully found Chu Xiangtian. The war ended early, and most of the remaining soldiers were left. Chu Fengyuan intended to use the remaining silver to provide disaster relief.
However, he didn't plan to really ask Fu Tian for this money in vain. The treasury is empty and he had no choice but to borrow it, but he still had to show his attitude, so he summoned the two into the palace.
Chu Fengyuan means that this million tael is considered as a loan of silver from the Ministry of Revenue, and will be returned to Fu Tian after the treasury is full in the future.
"I don't borrow this money for nothing. Since the drought, Youling and the Fu family rice shop have done a lot of their efforts for the people of Da Chu. They should be role models in the world. In the future, all the rice and grains in the harem will be purchased from the Fu family rice shop, and local governments will also give priority to the Fu family rice shop."
He pondered for a moment and added: "I will give you an additional plaque of rice shop "Da Chu Emperor Shang" and you will get a tax reduction of 10% every year."
Unexpectedly, Fu Tian shook his head and refused and said, "This million taels of silver was originally left by his ancestors. The Fu family has not used it for generations. Now it can do its best to make good things for the people. I have never thought of getting it back."
"And it is a great honor for the Fu family rice shop to be praised by the emperor. The donated silver is for the people's livelihood, and the emperor does not have to worry about it."
His tone was sincere, and he didn't care about the million taels of silver. Chu Fengyuan stared at him for a while, sighed, patted Chu Xiangtian on the shoulder, and sighed: "My mother is right, you are a blessed person."
Chu Xiangtian smiled proudly and held Fu Tian's hand.
Chu Fengyuan didn't want to see his younger brother's proud face, so he turned to Fu Tian and said gently: "One million taels of silver is not a decimal place. I will give you five days to consider. The Minister of Revenue will prepare an IOU. If you regret it, you can send someone to pick it up."
"If you really don't want this money..." Chu Fengyuan smiled and said, "I don't want to treat my family badly. The tax revenue of Fu's rice shop can be reduced by another 30%.
Fu Tian shook his head, "No need to consider it, I thank the emperor for his grace first."
Chu Fengyuan laughed and looked at his serious expression. He couldn't help but pat his head with his younger brother's cannibalism eyes, "You are a good child. It is his blessing to Feng Zhang to meet you, and it is also a blessing to Da Chu."
Chu Xiangtian couldn't help but pull the person to his side and couldn't wait to say, "If there is nothing else, we will go back first."
Chu Fengyuan glanced at him with a smile and said to Fu Tian gently: "Youling often enters the palace whenever he has time, and his mother always talks about you."
Fu Tian said "hmm" obediently, and was led away by Chu Xiangtian, who was very unhappy.
On the way back, Chu Xiangtian's big hand rubbed Fu Tian's head and then, almost rubbing Fu Tian's hair bun, and Fu Tian kicked him impatiently, "What are you doing?"
Chu Xiangtian snorted, "Don't listen to the emperor's brother, come to the palace even if you have nothing to do."
Fu Tian was confused, "Why?"
He got married to Chu Xiangtian, also called the Queen Mother's initial mother, so he naturally felt that he should go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother often, and he didn't understand where Chu Xiangtian was eating.
Chu Xiangtian held his face fiercely, and after a long time, he said reluctantly: "My mother is thinking about adopting our children."
Fu Tian: "..."
He was a little confused for a moment and said blankly: "What child?"
Chu Xiangtian pressed the man into the carriage and kissed him, "Of course he is a child who inherits the family line."
Fu Tian was dizzy, "But we..."
Chu Xiangtian touched his stomach with malicious intentions: "Why don't you give me one? In this way, the queen and the others will have no objection."
Fu Tian blushed and pretended to be angry and patted him, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chu Xiangtian refused to let go, "Why is it just nonsense? Didn't the ancestor give birth to one..." He said as he reached into his clothes, leaning his hand in Fu Tian's ear and murmured, "Maybe he'll do it a few more times..."
Fu Tian's face turned red as he said, and he pulled out his hand with difficulty and said angrily: "The ancestor is a flower demon, but I am not!"
Chu Xiangtian said regretfully, "Oh, then forget it, you are still a child, I will have you."
Fu Tian: “…………”
His face was so hot that it was almost smoking, but the man held him and put him in his ear and said something shameful, but he couldn't get rid of it. He could only try to lead the topic back to the right direction and stammered: "Actually... it's good to raise a child. The two children who were in the border before were very obedient and sensible."
Fu Tian didn't hate children. On the contrary, he knew more about three years of rebirth than he had lived in his previous life for thirty years. In addition to his own family, he considered more. Although Fu Youqin and the Empress Dowager both supported their union, Fu Tian also knew that the two mothers must also hope to see their descendants. Since they were destined to be unable to give birth to themselves, it would be good to adopt one.
The only thing to consider is the future raising of the child. If you bring someone home, you must educate him well. He has experienced his father's neglect and disgust, so he hopes to make up for his regrets in the next generation.
Chu Xiangtian was stunned when he heard this. He was dispensable to children. If possible, he would rather have only Fu Tian in his life. However, the empress dowager is old and always thinking about inheriting the family line. However, she was unwilling to put pressure on Fu Tian, so she found an opportunity to mention it to him twice in private.
I originally thought that if Fu Tian didn't want to, he could just stop the Queen Mother's thoughts, but Fu Tian's thoughts were a bit beyond his expectations.
Holding the person in his arms, Chu Xiangtian smiled and kissed him, "Do you like those two children in the border?"
Fu Tian naturally leaned into his arms, pinched his fingers and played, "Well, both children are quite sensible and smart."
Chu Xiangtian pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, when the army returned to Qingyang, I took the two children with me."
Fu Tian immediately looked at him in surprise.
Chu Xiangtian smiled, "The big one is good-minded. I was going to accept him as an apprentice." Since Fu Tian has a good relationship with him, it is not bad to adopt him, and he has avoided the trouble of adoption.
Fu Tian was a little surprised. When he thought of the two children's reluctance to leave the day before he left, he felt a little soft-hearted, "Where are they living now? Why don't we pick them up?"
Chu Xiangtian looked at him impatiently and smiled indulgently, "Okay."
Fu Tian said again: "There are no clothes and utensils for children in the house, so Uncle Ji must prepare them first."
"good."
"There are also two brothers who don't have any serious names. When they come back, they have to choose a new name..."
"good."
"One takes your last name, and the other takes my last name."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
