After a long while, Qin Wanru came back to her senses and looked at her daughter nervously: "You know that even Doctor Bao can't do anything. Does he really know how to treat it? I've never heard of him having medical skills."
"It should have been taught by his former mysterious master," Chu Chuyan glanced at Zu An sheepishly before replying, "He used acupuncture to guide the cold air in my body and drain it out bit by bit. I can
Feel the changes in your body.”
"Acupuncture?" Qin Wanru's expression changed and he said hurriedly, "Dr. Bao and Doctor Ji have both mentioned that the situation in everyone's body is very different. If outsiders don't know clearly, it will be easy for them to rashly remove the cold for you.
Cause irreparable injuries. Stop now, don't do such dangerous things!"
"He is different. He knows my physical condition." Chu Chuyan lowered her head in embarrassment, feeling her ears feel a little warm.
Qin Wanru blinked: "???"
What does it mean that he knows your physical condition?
After all, Chu Chuyan still couldn't admit what happened in the secret realm, and said hurriedly: "It should be that the method taught to him by his mysterious master is more special. Anyway, I can clearly feel that my physical condition is improving, and you should have noticed it too, mother."
I feel a lot warmer these days."
"Is he really that awesome?" Qin Wanru was doubtful, but suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly pulled her daughter aside and asked in a low voice, "You said he guided the cold for you through acupuncture, then... do you want to take off your clothes?"
Chu Chuyan's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and hummed like a mosquito.
"Did you take off your clothes?" Qin Wanru looked shocked and did not recover for a long time.
She knew very well the purpose behind the Chu family recruiting Zu An as their son-in-law. In her opinion, this was just a marriage in name only, just to deceive outsiders.
The eldest daughter has been extremely proud since she was a child. She has always been blessed with all kinds of genius auras and has never been hypocritical towards men.
It was really hard for her to imagine why such a daughter would agree to take off her clothes in front of that guy Zuan.
"Have you... already had your wedding?" Qin Wanru suddenly thought of a more serious problem and asked hurriedly.
"Mom, what are you talking about!" After all, Chu Chuyan has a tender face, and it is difficult to change the habit of being a girl for many years. She has the nerve to admit this in front of her mother and sister, and said hurriedly, "He just gave me acupuncture on my back. I
Use something to cover...cover other places."
Qin Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, but even so, it was still difficult for her to understand that her daughter would agree to do that in front of Zu An.
Suddenly she remembered another thing, and hurriedly lowered her voice and asked: "Did he...do anything rude to me last night?"
She felt tired when she thought about being drugged first by her younger daughter and then having her eldest daughter tap her acupuncture points.
Chu Chuyan couldn't help but blush when she thought about how the other party held her in his arms last night...she couldn't help but blush, and said hurriedly: "No, I will also cover you with the quilt."
She knew that her mother was very angry, and if she really knew what happened last night, she would not make a big fuss.
Anyway, nothing really happened last night, so it’s not like I’m lying.
Chu Chuyan didn't realize that she basically never lied before, but after meeting Zu An, she started telling all kinds of white lies.
Qin Wan felt like a big stone had finally fallen to the ground.
"I don't care about the mess here. It was all caused by you two sisters. You can solve it yourself." After saying that, he snorted and walked away.
She felt very sad when she thought of her two precious daughters contradicting her for other men, drugging her and tapping her acupuncture points.
And the initiator of all this is that guy Zu An!
The anger value from Qin Wanru is +44+44+44...
Zu An was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that she would still be so resentful even after she left.
Chu Huanzhao on the side also felt a little guilty and hurriedly chased after him, acting cute and attentive: "Mother, I will give you a gift..."
Chu Chuyan then looked at Zu An: "You don't want to stay in the Chu family anymore?"
Looking at her pair of charming eyes like the stars, Zu An felt a little guilty: "The main reason is that your mother often targets me..."
Chu Chuyan shook her head: "My mother is also a bit unforgiving. You see that you deliberately dispersed the others when she taught you a lesson this time. She was just worried about your face. I just wanted to reprimand you in private, but that's it.
I know you actually contradicted her face to face and made it impossible for her to get off the stage."
Zu An frowned and said, "You can't always be her punching bag, right?"
Chu Chuyan said: "Mother is not as bad to you as you think. For example, if you said such words today, another family would kill you directly with a stick. This is also allowed by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but she never did.
Doing this, and just walking away, is using me and Xiaozhao as an excuse to bring this matter to an end, otherwise the more serious this matter becomes, the more confusing it will be."
Hearing her mention of being beaten to death with a stick, Zu An thought that the door-to-door son-in-law in this world really had no human rights.
Of course, if the opponent really wanted to kill him, he couldn't just hold back.
But with such an identity, he is really a time bomb. Who knows when someone will make a fuss about his identity.
Noticing that his face looked a little ugly, Chu Chuyan's tone became softer:
"You also need to understand that my mother has not been in a good mood these days. First, something happened to me, which made her worry all the time. Recently, she was forced by the prefect Sang Hong to hand over donations according to the decree of the court. Naturally, she was a little anxious, and then
Plus you don’t know how to say anything soft, that’s why you caused such a big disturbance, ahem~”
She couldn't help but cough when she talked about something exciting.
Zu An hurriedly helped her sit down: "Don't get excited. You have not recovered from your serious injury. You are still very weak now. Take a rest."
Chu Chuyan sat down and drank some water, and her overall mood improved a lot.
Zu An asked curiously at this time: "Donation, what is that?"
Chu Chuyan explained: "Every time the country uses troops to provide disaster relief or needs money for large-scale projects, it will call on the world's wealthy businessmen to donate money and property to the country. This is called donation."
"Is there such a thing?" Zu An was dumbfounded, "Since it's all voluntary, then it's okay if I don't donate."
"It's not that simple." Chu Chuyan shook his head. "Although it's voluntary in name, it's certainly not true in practice. Generally, those who are asked to donate are the richest people. The reason why these families can turn their businesses into
The reason why it has become so big is mostly due to the policies of the imperial court."
"If you don't donate, the other small families below you are willing to donate more. They are eager to get such an opportunity and let the court give them some favorable policies."
"Our Chu family, which operates salt and iron, is considered the richest family in Mingyue City and even in nearby counties. Naturally, we cannot escape the fate of being asked to donate."
…
Zu An gradually understood what was going on: "According to what you said, this donation should be a political donation. The wealthy businessmen donated their finances, and the court gave preferential policies. It should be a win-win situation. Why are you so upset?"
Chu Chuyan explained: "Take the salt industry as an example. The imperial court implemented the salt introduction system, which indirectly led to some large salt merchants forming a monopoly and earning huge profits. Naturally, they had to repay the imperial court accordingly, and those salt merchants also
I understand that today's achievements are entirely due to the dividends of the imperial government's policies, so I have no objection to donations."
"But I can't stand the imperial court asking for donations from time to time. No matter how wealthy these families are, they can't stand such plunder."
"What's more, our Chu family owned this land hundreds of years ago. We are prosperous today not because of the grace of the court, but because our ancestors worked hard to knock down these salt and iron mines. To put it bluntly, back then,
When our Chu family owned this land, the Zhou Dynasty had not yet been established."
"We have not received any benefits from the court over the years, but we are constantly forced by the court to donate money. Naturally, we are reluctant."
Zu An was dumbfounded and couldn't help but say: "From the tone of your words, the Chu family is planning to rebel."
"Don't talk nonsense," Chu Chuyan rolled her eyes at him angrily, "I'm just a little dissatisfied, but it's not that bad. What's more, the imperial court is so powerful now. If you really have such an idea, you are completely asking for your own death."
"But you guys will definitely become a thorn in the side of the imperial court. If I were the emperor, I would definitely get rid of you first." Zu An said with emotion.
"There are actually many families like ours in the world, and the emperor cannot get rid of them if he wants. Otherwise, it will easily cause chaos in the world," Chu Chuyan replied, "So the emperor can only follow the rules and regulations. This
This is what Ci Sanghong came here to do. He is jealous of our Chu family's salt and iron mines, but he cannot openly rob them."
"In this way, both sides will use their own methods to attack and defend each other, and see if they can have the last laugh."
Although Chu Chuyan spoke lightly, the worry between her eyebrows revealed her true mood.
"After all, the arms can't twist the thighs. I always feel that your Chu family is going further and further on the road to death." Zu An couldn't help but complain.
Chu Chuyan glanced at him, and then said: "Why don't we know this, but the foundation laid down by the ancestors of the Chu family cannot be lost in our hands, so we have to try hard even though we know it is impossible. This is our
The family’s honor and sense of mission.”
Zu An was startled. He noticed that there was a strange light on the other person's face when he said this, and he gradually understood.
There were very few such ancient families in the previous life, so it was difficult to understand their choices at first, but now I can understand something.
If we really have to distinguish between right and wrong, in fact, no matter whether it is the emperor, the court, or the Chu family, they all have their own motives and purposes. In the final analysis, it is just a struggle for interests.
"By the way, what happened to Qiu Honglei? How did she find her home?" Chu Chuyan suddenly opened her mouth and looked at him, her expression becoming a little strange.
"I don't know what's going on with her. Don't worry, nothing happened between us. I'm still keeping my integrity for you!" Just after Zu An finished speaking, he suddenly thought of what happened with Xue'er before, and felt guilty for a moment.
But then I thought about it, Xue'er was the girl she gave me as my first roommate, strictly speaking, this doesn't mean I'm sorry for her.
With this thought, his confidence increased again.
"Keep yourself as good as jade?" Chu Chuyan sneered, "The rouge on your lips last night was left by her, right?"
Zu An: "..."
Why do you still remember this time?
Chu Chuyan sighed, and then said: "Don't run around today. Chen Xuang just assassinated you during the day. Don't give him another chance."
As he spoke, he took out a pamphlet from his arms: "This is for you. If you practice hard in your free time, you will have more ability to protect yourself when facing Chen Xuan in the future."
"What is this?" Zu An was stunned and subconsciously took it and took a look. He saw the four characters "Snowflake Divine Sword" written on the booklet.
