Chapter 202: The eldest brother goes to propose marriage
"That's easy. I'll prepare the betrothal gifts and go to the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion to propose marriage for my eldest brother!"
"Ah?" Chu Ziyu was a little confused, but his heart was inexplicably cheering for joy, but in a moment he became nervous again.
Would the princess agree to marry him? She was so perfect, but he couldn't even stand up. Would he marry her in a wheelchair?
Everyone in the courtyard was immediately excited when they heard this: "The betrothal gifts are very particular, especially for a girl of such noble status as the princess. Three letters and six engagements, a ten-mile red wedding dress, and a sedan chair carried by eight people..."
In short, financial resources, manpower and time, none of them can be lacking!
Chu Nanyue was stunned. Getting married in ancient times was really troublesome. Unlike in modern times, as long as you have money, you can leave everything to the emcee!
master of ceremonies?
Chu Nanyue searched the connections in her head. Since such a scandal had happened to the princess, it would be best to have a powerful person as the witness.
Just when Chu Nanyue was hesitating whether to swallow her pride and ask for help from a powerful prince next door, a brisk voice came from the door.
"Sister-in-law, is Brother Four next door?"
Chu Nanyue's eyes lit up. Isn't this a coincidence?
What kind of bastard man are you looking for? Isn't there a ready-made powerful prince right at your doorstep?
"Why are you looking for Fourth Brother? Fourth Sister-in-law just wants to see you for something!"
"It is my honor to serve my fourth sister-in-law!" Xiao Yihang's face was full of curiosity.
Chu Nanyue replied: "Please ask Prince Chen to push my elder brother to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion to propose marriage!"
With the prince pushing him forward and such a supreme honor, which of the relatives in the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion would dare to question his eldest brother's leg disease?
"Lord Chen, you can't!"
"I'm here to push Big Brother!"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Xiao Yihang lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Ziyu in surprise. He pushed him, and he still despised him?
Chu Nanyue looked up at the stairs and saw a tall figure falling from the sky against the light. It was true that he was handsome, but it was also true that he was useless.
Her wound hasn't healed yet, and it feels sore when she urinates.
At this time, she came to recognize her elder brother again, and she loved him!
"Young Master, why can't I do that?" Xiao Yihang was a little hurt.
"What happened in the palace did cause a lot of inconvenience to my seventh brother, so I am willing to bow down to you, big brother Princess!" Xiao Hanye replied loudly.
Although he said this to Xiao Yihang and Chu Ziyu, he emphasized the word "Princess", and his eyes were always on Chu Nanyue.
"Thank you, Prince Yan!" Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and bowed his head in reply.
He pinched his legs and sighed softly.
"What do you think, my beloved concubine?" Xiao Hanye walked up to Chu Nanyue and asked softly.
Chu Nanyue glanced at him unhappily: "You've already finished speaking, what else can I say?"
She has something to say to her father!
"Now that it has been settled, Your Majesty, please go back. We will invite you again after we prepare the betrothal gifts!" Chu Nanyue felt pained when she saw him, and she ordered him to leave.
"Dowry? How about forty-eight loads? Jiang Yan, bring the things over for the princess and big brother to review!" Xiao Hanye didn't leave, but waved.
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked, especially Xiao Yihang, who joked, "Does Fourth Brother have to be so attentive?"
I haven't seen him for a few days. How did his fourth brother offend his fourth sister-in-law again?
"It is only natural for me to serve my beloved concubine at her beck and call!" Xiao Hanye didn't care, but instead looked at Chu Nanyue eagerly.
Chu Nanyue raised her eyes and met a pair of sparkling eyes. She wanted to yell "Get lost!" but she was too soft-hearted to yell, so she lowered her head to look at the betrothal gift.
Chu Ziyu was also looking down at the betrothal gifts. Looking at the yard full of forty-eight loads of betrothal gifts, his face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed that he had let an outsider prepare the betrothal gifts for him.
"Thank you, King Yan. I will give you the silver in exchange!"
"That's a long way to go, isn't it? You are the elder brother of my beloved concubine, and you are also my elder brother. We are all family, so there's no need to be polite!"
Seeing Chu Ziyu in distress, Xiao Hanye was overjoyed.
Chu Ziyu pursed his lips and said, "Take another 10,000 taels of silver and go to Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion now!"
He wanted to wipe away the tears from Su Xi's eyes and get her out of trouble as soon as possible. If she promised him, he would protect her for the rest of her life and let her live in their Chu family compound. No one would dare to disrespect her. If she didn't agree to him...
After all, he tried his best and has no regrets!
Seven years later, he rode on a tall horse again, majestically accompanied by many guards, escorting forty-eight loads of betrothal gifts and ten thousand taels of silver, walking majestically on the wide streets.
The momentum and the appearance immediately brightened the eyes of the people on the street.
Forty-eight loads of betrothal gifts and ten thousand taels of silver. Which mansion should I go to to propose marriage?
The man on the horse had a face as handsome as the finest jade, smooth and warm, making it impossible to look away.
Everyone was envious and couldn't help wondering which young lady from an official family could receive such affection from him?
"Whose daughter is so lucky? This is the first time I've seen a commoner family give such a generous gift!"
"Why don't you just follow and see?"
"Yes, yes. Even if you can't see the handsome man's wedding night, you can at least see where he goes to propose marriage, right?"
"Let's go!"
......
The people on the street followed the marriage-proposing team happily, but when they arrived at the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, they all opened their mouths in surprise.
Is this handsome man blind?
There is only one daughter in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. She used to be a favored daughter of heaven, but now she has become a pariah. Not only is her reputation in disgrace, but her appearance is also ruined.
How could such a slut who had been ridden by thousands of people still win the heart of such a handsome man?
What's wrong with this world? Isn't it good to marry a decent person if you have money and beauty?
"Hey, isn't that Prince Yan and Princess Yan?"
"Indeed, you reminded me that I know this handsome man who proposed marriage. He is the son of a criminal, the disabled Chu... What was Chu? I forgot, but he was a cripple anyway!"
The girls around who were secretly sad said they felt comforted.
"So he is a cripple, and a commoner. No wonder he dares to ask for the hand in marriage of Princess Changping at this critical moment. It seems he wants to rise to the top!"
"A cripple and a bitch are a perfect match! Hahaha!"
"Hush, keep your voice down, Prince Yan is looking at us!"
Sure enough, the next moment, the man who spoke foul language was dragged out by the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion and slapped in the face in public: "To insult the princess of the royal family in public is a capital crime!"
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't help but sigh and quickly buried their heads in their necks to greatly reduce their presence.
The man was beaten until his mouth was full of blood, and he was thrown into the Dali Temple. It seemed that he was in great danger.
Everyone fell silent, not daring to say a word.
Chu Nanyue pursed her lips. She was in awe of all life, but she wanted to say something, but in the end she chose to keep silent.
Sometimes rumors are not stopped by wise men, but must be suppressed by force.
According to the criminal law of the Northern Xiao Kingdom, that man indeed deserves to die. After Xiao Hanye's killing of the chicken to scare the monkey, let's see who among the people dares to talk about Su Xi again?
Chu Ziyu felt a little nervous at this time, and didn't know what impression the princess had of her.
I didn’t think much of the matter between men and women before, but now I feel a little more cautious.
Especially the feet, he wanted to propose to her openly while standing upright!
With this strong desire, he refused the King of Yan's condescension and stood up with gritted teeth.
He stood up very slowly, as if time had stood still. Finally, a miracle happened again. He not only stood up, but also took a step. Although it was very slow, he took each step firmly.
The feeling of his feet touching the ground again gave him a long-lost sense of security.
He walked forward step by step cautiously. Even though he was sweating and trembling with pain, he did not retreat. He wanted to let the woman see his sincerity.
Surprisingly, no one came forward to help him, but just followed him closely.
Chu Nanyue looked at her elder brother whose thighs were trembling, tears welling up in her eyelashes.
Love is indeed very magical.
The onlookers forgot the King of Yan's shock for a moment and started talking again.
"Didn't they say that the eldest son of the Chu family is a cripple? How come he can stand up? And even walk?"
"Oh my goodness, there are strange things every year, but this year is the best. A person who has been paralyzed for so many years can suddenly walk upright?"
"I heard that Princess Yan is good at medicine, especially bone setting. Maybe it was her who cured the eldest son of the Chu family!"
......
Amid the discussions among the crowd, Chu Ziyu's figure became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared in the crowd.
No matter how curious they are, they can't enter the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion openly, right?
Everyone, with gossip on their faces, stood waiting at the door eagerly.
At this time, Princess Changping's loss of virginity was no longer so important, and they were all looking forward to the result.
Su Xi was punished to kneel in front of the ancestral hall and endure the verbal battles of her clan members one after another. At this time, the door was suddenly opened.
She looked up at the tall man under the halo and was stunned for a moment.
Chu Ziyu looked at Su Xi, whose face was covered with tears, and his heart ached. He gritted his teeth, walked over slowly, helped her up, and said loudly to everyone: "Dear seniors, I am Chu Ziyu, and I am here to propose marriage to Princess Changping!"
