I trade my property for my wife

In the fifth year of the severe drought in the Xiao Kingdom, the richest merchant in Jialing County lived in an outhouse of the Jiang family.With the birth of a child, the country of Xiao ushered in the heavy rain that all the people hoped for. The rain stopped after three days, and there has been no drought since then.

16 years later, that child who was born with the wind and the rain has grown into a slim girl... The handsome man in Yushu Linfeng named Jiang Xingchen.

The Jiang family has also become the number one wealthy businessman in the country from a local wealthy businessman.

After Jiang Xingchen celebrated her 16th birthday, one day she suddenly received an imperial decree from Xiao Xiucheng, the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, ordering her to take the married and unmarried descendants of Jiang's family to the capital to participate in the election competition for the son-in-law of the Ninth Princess and Xiao Jingyin.

It was specially designated that Jiang Xingchen must participate.

To be able to marry the princess, everyone in the Jiang family felt that it was a great blessing, because the virtues accumulated by the ancestors made the smoke billowing.

But Jiang Xingchen, his father Jiang Yuanming, and righteous brother Jiang Qinling were in the study with sad faces.

Screening off the servants, Jiang Yuanming fidgeted fidgeting with the fingers in his hands. The three of them were thinking how they could not attend the meeting. After discussing for a while, there was no result. Jiang Yuanming paced back and forth anxiously in the room.

Jiang Xingchen comforted: "Father, please rest for a while, don't be exhausted, maybe His Majesty just let us go through the motions."

Jiang Yuanming paused, glanced at Jiang Xingchen, sighed heavily, and sat back on the yellow rosewood chair next to him, while Jiang Qinling handed Jiang Yuanming a cup of tea that had already cooled down.

Jiang Yuanming took a sip of tea, and said to Jiang Xingchen with a sad face, "Your Majesty will definitely let you be the son-in-law..."

Why does marrying a princess make them feel like an enemy?

Because Jiang Xingchen is a woman, how can a woman marry a woman!

Back then, Jiang Xingchen's grandfather, Jiang Maode, disliked Jiang Xingchen's mother's unclear identity and did not agree with Jiang Yuanming to marry her.But Jiang Yuanming swore that he would not marry a non-qing. After a few years, the matchmaker broke through the Jiang family's threshold, and he ignored any rich businessmen and noble ladies.

And deliberately let people let out the word that he has more than one outer room.Because of his bad morals, he had a concubine before he married a wife, and no one came to his door to talk about matchmaking.Although the Jiang family is not a single family, they place emphasis on the eldest son system, how can the eldest son have no offspring.Grandfather Jiang Maode later heard that his concubine Tang Qingyi was pregnant, so he let go and said that if it was a boy, he agreed to marry him and bring the child into Jiang's family.

It's just that Tang Qingyifu's life is short, and after giving birth to Jiang Xingchen, he died in a fragrant way.When she was dying, her last wish was to let her child enter the family tree of Jiang's family. She didn't want her child to be an illegitimate daughter like her, who would be regarded as an ominous wild species and never entered the family's family in her life.

In order for the newborn baby girl Jiang Xingchen to enter the family tree smoothly, Jiang Yuanming let her enter the Jiang family as a man.Jiang Yuanming not only wanted Jiang Xingchen to be included in the family tree, but also wanted her to live in the Jiang family as the heir of the Jiang family and hand over the power of the Jiang family to Jiang Xingchen.After his father Jiang Maode had passed a hundred years, no one could restrain him anymore, so Jiang Yuanming told his relatives, friends and fellow clan that his son was his daughter.When the time comes, it will be done, and no one can do anything about it.In this way, I want to make up for my loss to my deceased wife and get some comfort.

Jiang Xingchen and Qin Ling looked at each other, and what they said just now was just to appease Jiang Yuanming.Jiang Xingchen knew in his heart that since his father, Jiang Yuanming, brought her back to the Jiang family and took over the Jiang family's business, he seemed to have bribed the God of Wealth. The business was booming and his wealth was increasing day by day.

When Jiang Xingchen started to know how to help his father with some business, the Jiang family became the richest man in Xiao Country.Now that many years have passed, her Jiang family's property can no longer be described as rich and incomparable to a country. Only the assets in Xiao country can buy half of Xiao country's land.

However, in recent years, the Xiao Kingdom had conflicts with the border of the Eastern Territory Kingdom, and both sides did not gain any advantage in the several wars, and they had no intention of withdrawing their troops, and the strength of the troops continued to increase.

The country of Xiao has a bad government, which emphasizes civil and martial arts and despises business, all the money flows to the neighboring countries, and most of the Jiang family's wealth comes from the neighboring countries.In recent years, he has only transferred to the Xiao Kingdom.Xiao Huang saw that the national treasury was empty, and the army on the eastern border was short of food and pay, but he didn't want to bow his head to the merchant to borrow some money to relieve his urgent needs.Afraid that the merchants would flee to other countries in a hurry, He Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, offered to ask the Jiang family to take out the money themselves, and there was a matter of recruiting a son-in-law.

Wealth can be given away, but people dare not marry.

If Jiang Xingchen was a man, she would be married as a princess, but the problem is that she is a real daughter, if she does not participate, she will be disobedient to the king, Xiao Huang can also punish the Jiang family if she seizes the opportunity, and may lose both people and money.

If he participates, the Lord of the Xiao Kingdom will definitely marry the Jiang family, and he will marry the princess he loves the most, which shows his sincerity.

Since he is the most beloved, how can he be wronged to marry other offshoot children.

The other children of the Jiang family were allowed to participate just to deceive others, Jiang Xingchen thought about it and then became depressed.

A few days later, Jiang Xingchen brought all the unmarried children of the Jiang family to the Imperial Palace in the capital. Because Qin Ling was adopted as Jiang Yuanming's adopted son and had a name on the Jiang family's genealogy, he also had to come to participate in the competition to find a son-in-law.

Jiang Qinling's original name was Qin Ling, and he was also a child of a wealthy family in Xiao Guo.It was only because of his father's prostitution back then that his family was in decline.As a result, at the age of five, she lived outside, suffered a lot, and wandered on the edge of life and death several times.Later, he was accepted as a disciple by the real Yanghui who went down the mountain to look for the heir, and ended his miserable fate of wandering.Just like Jiang Xingchen, it is convenient to protect Jiang Xingchen personally, and she is also a woman disguised as a man.

On the wall of Xiao Kingdom's imperial city, Xiao Xiucheng, the monarch of Xiao Kingdom, watched a group of young people follow the servants through the inner city gate. He Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, pointed to the young man who was headed by the city and said, "That is the son of the Jiang family, Jiang Jiang. stars."

Following He Sheng's fingers, he saw the leader, a young man dressed in brocade and white, with white warm jade hanging from his waist.Although he can't see his true face, his temperament is the most outstanding among the crowd.

He only glanced at the figure behind her, and asked, "Whose child of the Jiang family is that young man behind her?"

He Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, glanced at him and bowed, "That's Jiang Yuanming's adoptive son, named Jiang Qinling. It is said that during the years of famine, he survived the Jiang family's favor of water and rice. After returning from his studies, he went to the Jiang family. Thank you."

"It's really rare to be able to reciprocate the kindness of a drop of rice." Xiao Xiucheng stroked his slightly long beard and praised.

An hour later, a group of Jiang family's children were brought to the main hall of the literary examination by the servants. The moment they stepped into the main hall, Jiang Xingchen seemed to be shocked.It's not because of the grandeur of the palace hall, but because of the furnishings in the hall and the people who have already been seated in the hall.

More than 300 cubicle tables and chairs, and more than 300 people who participated in recruiting relatives.

At that moment, Jiang Xingchen thought it was his own imagination that the Lord Xiao would decide for her Jiang family.Until the end of the written test, he was told that his intentionally flawed essay had passed, and was also named and praised by Xiao Huang.The martial arts test could be held tomorrow, so Jiang Xingchen dispelled the thought of being let off by Xiao Xiucheng.

The military test was held on the second day. After the civil test, there were only 40 civil servants and military officials left behind, and the Jiang family accounted for five of them, including Qin Ling.

The competition venue was set up around the hunting ground.

The next day, Jiang Xingchen and others were brought into the designated position by the imperial guards. Looking at Emperor Xiao and the princes and ministers sitting on the top of the competition field, Jiang Xingchen complained, why didn't he see the Ninth Princess?

Jiang Xingchen had long heard that the Ninth Princess of Xiao Kingdom was born to the empress, named Xiao Jingyin.At the age of seventeen, she has excellent looks. She was able to paint at the age of three and play the piano at the age of five. She is even more gifted in music and temperament. She is deeply favored by Emperor Xiao. Anyone who has seen Xiao Jingyin's appearance is fascinated by it.

Jiang Xingchen sighed inwardly, it's a pity that he is not a man, so it doesn't matter if a man marries him.

Before she came, she had the mentality that soldiers would come to block her, and she would be covered up by water.If she really had to marry the princess, then it was in her fate that she should have this calamity.

After returning yesterday, Qin Ling discussed to let Jiang Xingchen deliberately lose to her.There is really no other way, if she marries the princess, then her identity as a woman will be exposed, and the Jiang family will only say that they don't know about it, and will be kept in the dark.Xiao Huang blamed her and the Jiang family only had to hand her over when the time came, life and death were up to her.

Jiang Xingchen would definitely not agree.Although Qin Ling is a righteous daughter, Jiang Xingchen has regarded her as his own sister during the years of getting along with her, and Xiao Huang's goal is Jiang Xingchen.Even if she loses, Xiao Huang will still have other methods, I don't know what else is waiting for them.

There are ten martial arts arenas, all of which are held at the same time, and opponents are found in the form of lottery.Jiang Xingchen thought to himself: This is a quick decision.Jiang Xingchen and Qin Ling had good draws, and they were both in the second round.

Although Jiang Xingchen was not as superb in martial arts as Jiang Qinling, he was not the kind of weak and unbearably rich boy either.Jiang Yuanming found a master when she was young, taught her martial arts, and later had Qin Ling to guide her, so naturally it would not be too bad.Ordinary martial arts practitioners can't hurt her.In less time than a stick of incense, the 20 players in the first round had already decided the winner.

When it was their turn to play, Qin Ling deliberately lost and was beaten down, but Jiang Xingchen only raised his sword when he entered the stage, and the person who was fighting her jumped off the ring in fright, Jiang Xingchen almost rolled his eyes on the spot.

The acting is too bad.

After the promotion, although her opponent is not as weak as the first one, but she can't beat her.After she took out the sword, the man only took two hits before pretending to be injured by her sword energy... just admit defeat.

In the third game, there were only five groups and ten people left.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Xingchen still won.In the end, there were five people left, and the others drew lots to find their opponents. Only Jiang Xingchen drew an empty lottery. At this time, the servant on the field announced that Jiang Xingchen would advance directly.

Jiang Xingchen blinked and went to the outfield to wait. After a while, the other four decided the winner. Now there are only three people left on the field.

Jiang Xingchen was beating drums in his heart, not knowing what would happen next.Looking up at the seat where he was sitting upwards, an elderly servant clung to Xiao Huang's ear, said something unknown, and then it was announced that the rules of the competition had been changed.

Xiao Huang sent one person to appear on the stage. If he could win this person, he could decide to marry the princess or not according to his own ideas.

If you lose, it can only be decided by the princess.

Jiang Xingchen thought, what trick is this playing again, if he wins and doesn't marry, won't Huang Xiao and the princess wear a hat of contempt for the royal family?

Before clarifying Xiao Huang's intentions, he saw a young man wearing a unicorn white brocade robe, with belts around his wrists, and a long hair crown. In her eyes, she was actually a practitioner, and the elegant sword in her hand added a bit of heroism to her appearance.

After the martial arts competition started, the two contestants who went up first were knocked down after three or two blows. Jiang Xingchen and Qin Ling looked at each other, thinking more and more disturbed in their hearts. They found someone with extraordinary martial arts to deal with Jiang Xingchen.

In the last match, only Jiang Xingchen was left.

After Jiang Xingchen entered the arena, he looked closely at the young man's handsome appearance, and his skin was as fair as mutton fat. If it wasn't for the martial arts arena, Jiang Xingchen would definitely have made friends with such a handsome and extraordinary man.But at this time, the young man doesn't necessarily want to make friends with her. Seeing Jiang Xingchen looking at her, the young man sneered and said, "Have you seen enough? You are Jiang Xingchen?"

The voice is a little smooth, like a woman.

Jiang Xingchen couldn't figure it out, thinking that he must not be an ordinary person to be entrusted by Xiao Huang like this, so he could only laugh dryly: "The villain is Jiang Xingchen, please be merciful later, my lord."

The corner of the boy's lips raised unkindly and he said, "Okay!"

As soon as the words fell, the sword in the young man's hand stabbed towards him. Jiang Xingchen's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes became brighter, and he blocked it with the sword.After two rounds, Jiang Xingchen was at a disadvantage in resisting the attack.Jiang Xingchen thought to himself: This young man seems to be gentle, how could he make such vicious moves, as if he wanted her life.When he was fighting with other people just now, he didn't seem to be so eager to strike. Could it be that he has enmity with her, or that he also likes the princess and doesn't want her to marry her?If he likes the princess, he should let her win.Jiang Xingchen managed to slow down, panting and said: "Brother, have we met before?"

The young man ignored her question and looked displeased, as if Jiang Xingchen owed him money and would not pay it back.He attacked her shoulder and arm with his sword again, Jiang Xingchen resisted his sword move, took the time to speak quickly and said: "We have no grievances or enmities, why should we kill you, if the son is also attached to the princess, you let me I won, I let you be."

The boy still didn't answer, his face became darker, and the speed of the sword in his hand became faster and more ruthless.Jiang Xingchen was busy unraveling his tricks, and finally closed his mouth.The two of you attacked and blocked each other for several more rounds. When the blades of the swords collided, sparks splashed, and every move and every move shocked the people present to applaud.Those who were about to doze off were also awakened by the dazzling sword moves in front of them.

Jiang Xingchen thought, the words just now should have angered him.Everyone else was fighting over their heads and wanted to marry the princess, but why did she, Jiang Xingchen, dislike her and didn't want to marry?Did he think Jiang Xingchen thought the princess was bad?

After a few rounds, the boy was obviously exhausted and just pretended to be calm.The two stopped fighting for a while, and stood facing each other with swords in hand. Sweat was dripping from their foreheads, and their backs were faintly wet from their shirts.Jiang Xingchen was actually undecided in his heart, whether she would win or not.If she loses, she should marry the princess, but if she wins, can she really not marry the princess?After much deliberation, Jiang Xingchen decided that winning is the best way right now.

Jiang Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, facing the young man not far in front of her, who was still adjusting his breath and hadn't recovered his strength, said: "I've offended you."

After the words fell, Jiang Xingchen began to treat them seriously. The young man felt a chill surging from Jiang Xingchen's sword energy. He was surprised for a moment, his feet collided with the flowers and stones that set up the arena, and he flew up and stepped on Jiang Xingchen's sword. Soared into the air and flew behind Jiang Xingchen.Jiang Xingchen controlled his strength, retracted his sword, turned around, and stabbed again.The young man rolled to the side, his figure was light.Although he is not good at fighting for a long time, Jiang Xingchen is really hard to touch if he dodges.

Jiang Xingchen thought in her heart that this person is just weak in physical strength, if he finds a chance to breathe later, she might not be able to deal with it, she suddenly had a plan in her heart and shouted to the young man: "You don't want me to marry the princess, I want to marry you. "

Using this to provoke the young man to confront her, upon hearing the words, the young man really fought her head-on.

Jiang Xingchen held the sword and pulled out the sword flower extremely fast, which caught the young man's eyes.The blades of the two touched each other, Jiang Xingchen wanted to force him out of the ring without hurting him, but the boy was still lucky enough to fight her.Jiang Xingchen had no choice but to persuade the young man: "Brother, you go down, I will never marry the princess, if I do, I'm afraid I will harm the princess."

Hearing this, the young man frowned.With another burst of strength, he said: "Since you don't want to marry the princess, how do you know that the princess will definitely want to marry you? Why don't you go down by yourself.

Jiang Xingchen smiled wryly in his heart, luck confronted her and said: "Although I have no intention of marrying the princess, the princess also has no intention of marrying me. If I win, I definitely won't marry the princess, but if you win, not necessarily."

The young man was obviously stunned for a moment when he heard the words, why couldn't he be the master?

This white-clothed youth is the present Ninth Princess, Xiao Jingyin.

She had just listened to the advice of the people next to her, and on a whim, she decided to fight in the ring herself, and her father promised her to let her choose her own son-in-law.She thought about beating all these people down, so she wouldn't have to marry.

When Jiang Xingchen saw that Xiao Jingyin was a little distracted, he stepped aside, and immediately stabbed her with his sword.

Xiao Jingyin reacted and had to block the sword, Jiang Xingchen didn't hit her vitals, but just slashed from both sides, just when Xiao Jingyin thought she was going to slash at her right arm again, Jiang Xingchen used the palm of her hand instead, and pushed it in front of her chest .After being pushed, it was too late, and the figure pushed by the thrust was unstable. Just as he was about to land, Jiang Xingchen, who was on the opposite side of Xiao Jingyin, flew over and hugged her in his arms, turned around, An Ran landing.

The boy turned around and saw that it was a bracket for weapons, and all kinds of swords stood on the shelf.

Incredibly sharp.

If it wasn't for Jiang Xingchen to protect him, it would have been more catastrophic.There was a commotion under the ring, only then did he realize that Jiang Xingchen landed before her.The contest ended with Xiao Jingyin going undefeated.

Although Jiang Xingchen was annoyed, he didn't show it too obviously. He just shook his head and smiled bitterly for a moment, and said, "Forget it, since the sky is going to kill me, how can I fight against the sky?" Even if he wins, who can guarantee it? The king of a country will not play tricks?

Xiao Jingyin was stunned for a moment, watching Jiang Xingchen walk out of the arena and return to his original position, then reacted, turned and walked towards the seat.I saw Xiao Huang angrily said to the servant who was kneeling on the ground: "The weapon was placed improperly and almost hurt the princess. What do I want you for? Go down and get fifty big boards, get out!"

Xiao Jingyin walked over slowly, saluted Xiao Huang, and said: "Father, isn't my son not hurt? After fifty boards, his little life is gone. Just punish him with a few boards so that he can have a long memory. Well, why bother to kill people?"

Xiao Huang saw that his beloved little princess had won the whole game, he was happy in his heart, and his face softened a little and said: "Since the ninth princess interceded for you, let's do as the nine princess said." The servant thanked Dade and kowtowed After being kind, he turned to Xiao Jingyin to thank him, and was dragged away by the guards.

After Xiao Huang saw Xiao Jingyin, he forgot the unhappiness just now, and said kindly: "Yin'er is worthy of being my princess, do you have a favorite candidate for the son-in-law?"

Xiao Jingyin got up and said: "They are all ostentatious and useless. I don't want to marry, so it's good to just stay in this palace and accompany my father."

"Nonsense, how can the royal court recruit relatives for fun! How can there be a princess who does not marry when she reaches her age." Xiao Huang feigned anger.

Seeing Xiao Jingyin's displeased face after being drunk, Xiao Huang slowed down his tone, and coaxed: "If there are too many people and you can't pick your eyes, then I will choose for you. I think Jiang Xingchen, the son of the Jiang family, is not bad. If she wasn't protecting you, you wouldn't be standing here safely."

Xiao Huang glanced at Xiao Jingyin who pursed his lips and said nothing, and said: "Since the rule is that the loser is left to the winner to choose, then I will choose her for you."

When Xiao Jingyin heard Jiang Xingchen's name, she paused in her heart, and then remembered what Jiang Xingchen said just now, if she won, she would definitely not marry her, but if she won, she would not necessarily.Did the emperor choose her from the beginning?

Xiao Jingyin wanted to object aloud, but it was obvious that Xiaohuang looked unresponsible, and he didn't dare to refute in his heart.

She also heard some rumors that food and salaries in the frontier were urgent, and the treasury was empty, and those dignitaries and nobles did not want to give up their savings to meet their urgent needs. Her father, the emperor, listened to the advice of He Sheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, and made this move of a son-in-law.

On the surface, he was recruiting a son-in-law for the princess, but in fact he was exchanging the princess for food and salary. Of course Xiao Jingyin didn't believe it all.

But right now, Xiao Jingyin has no choice but to believe Xiao Huang's words and his attitude that cannot be opposed.Even the most beloved daughter of the father can be sacrificed for the benefit of the imperial power. This is the royal family.

Xiao Huang chose for Xiao Jingyin the richest son-in-law of the Xiao Kingdom. He was the most outstanding among them in terms of appearance, and in terms of character. She still chose a good husband for her daughter.

Xiao Jingyin thought about Jiang Xingchen's words in the ring just now, since Jiang Xingchen didn't want to marry her and said he would miss her, did that prove that the rumors were true.

I heard that Jiang Xingchen, the eldest son of the Jiang family, has never been a womanizer. A rich kid like her age, even if he is not married, will have three or two maids, but Jiang Xingchen does not have a single maid, not even a maid to serve him personally. , and only Jiang Qinling, the adopted son of the Jiang family, was with him. Could it be that Jiang Xingchen really had a habit of cutting off his sleeves?That person is Jiang Qinling?

After a while, Emperor Xiao had someone announce that Jiang Xingchen was chosen as the consort in a civil and military competition, and he got married on an auspicious day.

When Jiang Xingchen heard that he was selected as the son-in-law, he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart. He thought that he had already prepared himself for the past few days, and he also increased his nervousness by a lot. Now everything is settled , but felt more relieved.

However, when she hit the young man just now, she found that the young man was actually a woman, and when the young man visited Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang showed an amiable and doting look on his face.In his heart, he had already guessed that the person just now was Xiao Jingyin, but he had never heard that she knew martial arts. If it was really Xiao Jingyin, since he said that to her just now, he might not be able to get along with her in the future.

After returning to the other courtyard of Jiangfu in the capital, Jiang Xingchen waited for the final imperial decree to be issued, and then wanted to return to Jialing.But Emperor Xiao sent someone to inform that the wedding is approaching and Jiang Xingchen will enter the palace to promote his relationship with the princess.

This is to imprison her here.

Jiang Xingchen was not annoyed when he found out, it was all expected, if Xiao Huang let her go back, she would be uneasy.

On the second day, Emperor Xiao summoned Jiang Xingchen into the palace, and Qin Ling naturally accompanied him.

Qin Ling had been waiting for two hours outside the library room of the Imperial Palace, but Jiang Xingchen never came out.He didn't dare to go in hastily, he was muttering in his heart, when he saw a woman in luxurious clothes, with a slender and slender figure.With two maids by her side, they walked past her calmly.Qin Ling hurriedly bowed his head to salute, only to see the woman go in and back, and said in Ruying's melodious voice, "Is Jiang Xingchen inside?"

Qin Ling raised his head in doubt, saw the woman's face, and thought that this woman looked so familiar, but after a closer look, it turned out to be the young man from the martial arts competition that day.When Qin Ling wanted to say yes, the maid beside him shouted, "Who told you to look up? Can you afford to offend the princess!"

Qin Ling hurriedly lowered his raised head, and said, "Xiao Min Jiang Qin Ling has seen the princess."

Xiao Jingyin waved her hand to indicate that the maid was fine, and said to Qin Ling with a pleasant expression, "Don't be nervous, answer me, is Jiang Xingchen inside?"

Qin Ling replied, "Yes."
