After rebirth, I became the stupid son of the Hou family

The villagers saw a group of officers and soldiers entering the village in a mighty manner. Everyone was curious about what happened, so they followed behind in groups and gathered towards the east end of the village.

When I saw several dead bodies being carried out from this dilapidated yard, I realized that as the officers and soldiers said, bandits really appeared in the village.

Among the crowd of onlookers, there was someone sent by Liu Ruyi to inquire about the news.

After the man found out the news, he hurried back to the Hou Mansion to report the news.

After all the officers and soldiers finally left, Li Susu picked up the letter written to Liu Guogong and said to Jiang Chen:

"Chen'er, go to the Duke's Mansion and give this letter to me. See if he can help you."

Jiang Chen was originally opposed to going to the Liu Mansion. He didn't agree with a baby girl arranged by his parents who he hadn't even seen in person since he was a child.

But he also knew that he had no contact with Liu Mansion for so long, which was the best explanation.

Even though the Hou family is powerful, no one is willing to marry their daughter to a fool with a good reputation.

Even if I go there with a shy face, it's just to see other people's faces.If he said something disgusting and unpleasant, it would be even more difficult for him to accept.

Leaving the Hou Mansion is indeed a problem for the mother and others in their future survival.

But for him, Jiang Chen, it was not a problem at all.Even without the help of others, he can support the four of them by just doing some small business with his brain.

His predecessor was the CEO of a company that was making money every day, a rising star in the business world.

But if he just follows the Romans, he can't suddenly make himself omnipotent.It made them feel that they suddenly became people completely unrelated to Jiang Chen.

Although it's not Jiang Chen's style to beg alms from others in a lowly manner.But when he thought that since his mother asked him to go, she would naturally have her own plans.

He took the letter his mother gave him, and Li Susu helped him tidy up his clothes.

I saw her saying with endless instructions:

"Chen'er, we are going to ask someone for help. When we get there, we need to be measured in our words. You'd better hand the letter to the old man and see what he means."

Jiang Chen agreed and didn't want to say anything else. He said goodbye to his mother and set off on the road with Ah Fu and his servant.

The protector Liu Shangyun and Dingyuanhou Jiang Rong were both founding generals when the late emperor founded the country.They followed the old prince in his expeditions south and north, fighting in the east and blocking the west, and made great contributions to the establishment of the Xuanwu Dynasty.Only then did the Xuanwu Dynasty have such a glorious foundation.

After the old emperor became emperor, he did not forget these soldiers who had made great contributions to him, so he rewarded them greatly.

Liu Shangyun and Jiang Rong have a deep friendship in the military camp, and they are both life and death friends.

After Liu Shangyun was named the Protector of the Country, he was ordered to guard southern Xinjiang.Jiang Rong was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan and was ordered to station at the border of the Northern Territory.They guarded the north and south gates of the Xuanwu Dynasty, one in the south and the other in the north.

But the old emperor died of illness just a few years after he took the throne.After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he began to vigorously cultivate his own party members.

The emperor was afraid that the founding veterans would not obey the court's instructions, so he sent his confidants to the border one by one, and replaced the original founding veterans from important positions.From then on, military and political power fell into the hands of the emperor.

Liu Shangyun, the protector of the country, was not spared. After returning to the capital, the emperor symbolically arranged for him a position as a Yuanwailang in the Ministry of Rites, allowing him to retire in the capital.

My husband has been a soldier all his life and is accustomed to a military life.When he returned to the capital, he was tied to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites and felt very bored. Soon he fell ill.

Liu Shangyun had a son named Liu Zhi. Although he was born in martial arts, he had allowed his son to study literature since he was a child and was determined not to let him take the path of leading troops in war.

He knew that as a military general, he would go through life and death outside all day long, living with his head in his belt, and he would not be as promising as those who entered the officialdom through the imperial examination.

He sent Liu Zhi to a famous private school in the capital to study. Liu Zhi was really good at studying, and he took part in the imperial examination a few years later.Eventually he became an official in the imperial court, and now he has reached the position of Minister of War.

When Liu Zhi was young, he married Cui, a well-matched wife. Cui gave him three children, one boy, two girls.

The eldest son is a son named Liu Huaian, who passed away this year. He is currently studying at the Imperial Academy and is a classmate of Jiang Feng.

Daughter Liu Hanyan is 16 years old this year and is a well-known beauty in the capital. She was promised to Jiang Chen, the youngest son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, by her grandfather Liu Shangyun since she was a child.

It wasn't until she grew up that she realized that the young prince of the Hou family who had arranged a baby marriage with her was actually a fool.

She felt that with her family background and her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital, it was not an exaggeration to marry a prince and grandson. How could she be forced to marry into a prince's mansion and spend her life with a fool just for a marriage contract?

She often went to Mr. Cui's house and cried, asking her mother to beg her father to cancel the marriage.She was determined not to marry this fool.

Liu Hanyan made trouble every now and then, which made Liu Zhi very upset.He felt very sorry for his daughter. If she really married a fool in the future, it would be a waste of money. It would really be a disgrace to such a beautiful daughter.

He once had the courage to mention this matter in front of his father, hoping that his father would come forward to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to cancel the marriage, so that his daughter could take advantage of her good years to choose a better son-in-law.

Who would have thought that before he even finished speaking, he was scolded by his old man.He said to Liu Zhi:

"You are also a scholar, and you know that the most important thing in life is to keep your word. Since Jiang Rong, the Marquis of Dingyuan, and I decided on the marriage between Han Yan and Jiang Chen, no matter what Jiang Chen becomes, we Nor can we betray our trust and do the disgraceful thing of regretting our marriage. For the sake of the safety of the imperial court, Marquis Dingyuan has loyally stationed in northern Xinjiang for decades. You know that as military generals, they shed their lives and blood to defend the northern land in the bitter cold wind. Xuanwu Dynasty. We are enjoying the glory and wealth in the rear with peace of mind, but we are doing things that are despised by others. I, Liu Shangyun, will never do such a thing. You tell them, mother and daughter, to die as soon as possible. Regardless of Jiang Chen Stupid or not, smoking is something that you will have to marry sooner or later. What I, Liu Shangyun, have done, I cannot let others poke my spine behind my back and scold me. Whether I marry well or not, it is her fate. "

Seeing his father's attitude, Liu Zhi later did not dare to mention the matter of breaking off the engagement.

But he also felt that it would be too unfair for his daughter to marry a foolish young master from a prince's mansion based on her talent and appearance.Therefore, he gave this daughter more love than other children.

Liu Hanyan's temper grew worse and worse amidst the bottomless guilt and pampering of her father and mother, as if everyone in the Liu family owed her something.He would lose his temper at every turn and would slap his maids and servants, or beat them with a stick.Therefore, no one of the maids or servants in her room dared to speak out in front of her, for fear that if they said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing, they would be in trouble.
