Chapter 1: Princess Changle's wedding at the start
The sixth year of Zhenguan.
On the wedding day of Princess Changle, Minzhuan married Changsun Chong, the son of Chief Assistant Changsun Wuji.
The Changsun Mansion will sprinkle thousands of taels of gold on the way to welcome the bride today!
It means that the land is full of gold, and Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty is full of gold!
…………
Chang'an, on the way to welcome the bride.
Decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, the ground is filled with red light!
"Hey, have you heard that today, our Majesty's most precious daughter, Princess Changle, is going to marry the son of Changsun Mansion?"
"I heard that I have also met Mr. Changsun. He is not good at literature or martial arts. I don't know why, but I always feel that some of him are not worthy of Princess Changle."
"Who says otherwise? Her Royal Highness Princess Changle has been proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and her etiquette has been praised by countless noble gentlemen. I can't believe that Her Royal Highness the Princess did not marry a general, but married a dandy."
"Hush...be careful!"
"I'm a straightforward person when I speak. Maybe... maybe I'm a good match."
Similar remarks are fermenting everywhere.
But at a corner of the road to welcome the bride, a young man wearing light black cloth had a sad face, which was out of tune with the bustling atmosphere around him.
All the people watching were amazed at this man's appearance.
His face is like a crown jade, his eyes are like bright stars!
Well-groomed and personable!
What a handsome and handsome young man!!
Even common clothes can't cover up the hidden brilliance of his body!!
He didn't care at all about Qin Wenyuan, who had become the focus of attention around him.
There is a situation where one cannot hear what is going on outside the window.
"I...am actually going to get married today?"
Qin Wenyuan still couldn't accept this fact.
He is not from this era, and it has been nearly ten years since he traveled here.
The family situation at the beginning can be regarded as a well-off family when evaluated in later generations.
Also because of his good family situation, he made an appointment to marry Miss Bai from Chang'an since he was a child.
But when he was 7 years old, his cheap dad failed in business and committed suicide because he couldn't bear the blow.
A man who was cheap and loyal to me saw his father die, so he also died for his love.
Since then, the family has been in decline and has declined to this day.
Qin Wenyuan didn't care about this. He had experienced too many storms and waves in his previous life, so he just looked away.
He used the remaining money to bury his father and mother with lavish gifts, and then started his own "dynasty" of part-time workers.
After all, he is a time traveler, and his knowledge alone is too much to transcend this era.
Qin Wenyuan was able to survive just by working various small jobs over the years.
Much better than beggars and ordinary civilians.
As for the debt owed by cheap daddy, one-sixth of it has been paid off.
A month ago, a creditor told him in stern words that he must pay back the money as soon as possible!
The five taels of silver that belong to him must be paid back soon, otherwise Qin's leg will be broken!
Five taels of silver was not a small amount in this era, and it was impossible to pay it back just by doing small jobs.
Therefore, he suddenly thought of coming to Chang'an to find his own wife who would be his baby.
He has also paid attention to the Bai family over the years. Compared with his Qin family more than ten years ago, it is somewhat richer, but not too rich.
All in all, it is much better than the Qin family, which has fallen into decline.
So as long as the Bai family just throws a small amount of money around, the so-called debt of five taels of silver is not a problem at all!
As a time traveler, as a time traveler who has received modern education, Qin Wenyuan is still self-aware of himself.
he knows.
It is difficult for him to marry a young lady from the Bai family now, so he came here not to get a wife, but just to make some money.
He has already thrown away face and all that!
After all, face is not worth a lot of money.
If he was always scrutinizing everything for the sake of face, he wouldn't be alive now.
But what he never expected was!
This Bai family really married his wife to him!!
It's just that the lady in question is not the lady of the Bai family, but the maid of the lady of the Bai family.
Not everyone is shameless, Qin is shameless, but the Bai family wants to be shameless!
Because of face and other issues, the Bai family finally came to threaten him and replaced their eldest daughter with a maid to marry him, Qin.
At present, Qin Wenyuan does not know the news of Princess Changle's marriage.
He had no relatives in Chang'an, so even if he heard some gossip, he didn't take it seriously at all.
Because Princess Changle is really too far away for him, too far away!
Now, he still thinks that these lanterns and colorful things were created by people from the Bai family.
The purpose is to save the face of the Bai family.
"That's all, let's just marry a maid. Anyway, the Bai family has promised me that as long as I marry that maid and follow their wishes, they will give me one hundred taels of silver."
"With these one hundred taels of silver, not to mention the five taels of silver in debt, there is nowhere I can't go in the world."
Qin Wenyuan suddenly thought about it.
Although the Bai family is not a big family, Mr. Bai was one of the few soldiers who followed the King of Qin, who was the current emperor, to launch an army against the Xuanwu Sect.
Although I don't have any title now, I still have a little bit of ownership relationship.
Therefore, one hundred taels is really nothing to them.
"As soon as you come, let's settle down. Chang'an is too big. It would be good to marry a wife here and go back to the countryside."
"It's better to be like a flower. Then when you travel to those places in the future, you can brag to others. My wife is from Chang'an. How about it? I'm jealous, hahahaha!"
Qin Wenyuan was very open-minded and continued to leave.
………………
At the same time, inside the palace.
Empress Changsun touched the cheek of her daughter Princess Changle with pity and gently helped her dress up.
"Beautiful, as a member of the royal family, everything is beyond your control."
"No matter who you marry, you have to know that they have chosen to marry you for a purpose, whether it is for marriage or for power."
"Even...the purpose is to use His Majesty as your backer, it is difficult for you to rely on your true love."
"I know that you don't like your cousin, and I also know that you have been engaged to a boy since you were a child, but that was still a child after all, and you are still not sensible."
"Although your cousin says he is a bit average in all aspects, he is indeed the most suitable husband to take care of you at the moment. You must know that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have always loved you the most and will not harm you."
Queen Changsun said slowly, with a rather pleased expression.
Indeed, as a princess, it is really difficult to meet your true love. If you are not from the right family, you are not qualified to marry a princess at all.
And no matter who marries the princess, he must have his own purpose in mind.
Even the mediocre Changsun Chong is like this.
Li Lizhi has lived in the royal family since she was a child, so she understands these principles very well.
