Your scumbag application has been returned
Chapter 117 Before the Flowers and Under the Moon
Chen Yuenian and 999 confirmed that the original owner, Nan Yuan, was tricked by his sister and fell into the lake and drowned, while the current Nan Yuan died suddenly in his original world and traveled to this body.
These years, he has been living under Nan Yuan's identity, fearing that someone would find out. Nan Yuan has also thought about avenging the original owner, but he is not like the time-traveling man in the novel who has special skills and can slap people in the face whenever he wants. He is also not loved by his parents. He has to keep his tail between his legs every day, and it is already very difficult not to be killed.
All time-travel novels are lies. Only when it is your turn to travel through time will you understand how helpless you are. It is not like what you imagined at all. Living a good life is what Nan Yuan is trying hard to do, he can't do anything else.
But now she is married to a man who seems to be quite satisfied with her.
Nan Yuan thought that perhaps the man in front of him was willing to help him avenge the original owner. Even if he didn't, he would no longer have to go through the days of hunger and wearing plain clothes in the future. This general's mansion still looked very grand.
Nanyuan is looking forward to a new life, but hopes that this is not just a dream that will be shattered when he wakes up.
In the previous life, Chen Yuenian did not want to be threatened by the Emperor of Liang and Nan Yuan's father, so on the surface he was not nice to Nan Yuan. He slept in separate rooms on their wedding night, asked for permission to return to the border the next day, and only asked his servants to bring Nan Yuan back home on the third day. He made excuses not to be there in person, and the number of days he spent with Nan Yuan could be counted on one hand. He was really not nice to Nan Yuan.
Given the chance to start over again, Chen Yuenian became rebellious and didn't want to be manipulated anymore. He had to live for himself. Otherwise, life would be too cowardly and he might as well just die.
"I'll take Ayuan to help digest the food first, and then take a hot bath after digestion, okay? Ayuan got up very early, so he should rest early after taking a bath." Chen Yuenian told about the next plan.
Nan Yuan was dumbfounded. He gave his hand to Chen Yuenian in a daze and let Chen Yuenian pull him up and walk out.
[I thought you meant to say that we should rest early on our wedding night. I pretend to be a fool, but my body is still normal. If he wants to force himself on me, I can't resist. What's that saying? Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you.]
[I'll give you one point for being a gentleman. I'm afraid you'll be too proud if I give you one more point.]
Chen Yuenian tapped his forehead with amusement, "Ayuan, what are you thinking about? I see your face is all wrinkled up."
When Nan Yuan was speaking his true feelings, he did not notice that his facial expressions were also very rich, and Chen Yuenian who was standing beside him saw it all.
He pinched Nan Yuan's cheek. He couldn't let go of the feeling, but he was afraid that Nan Yuan would be angry, so he restrained himself and took his hand back after pinching it.
They were still wearing their bright red wedding dresses and had no time to change. Today was the sixteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon was very round and bright. The cobblestone road was clearly visible at night, and it was not completely pitch black.
Chen Yuenian took Nan Yuan to familiarize himself with the layout of the house.
This mansion was given to the Chen family by the founding emperor. It is only two streets away from the imperial palace. It covers a large area and is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
It's just that both men and women in the Chen family admire martial arts, are brave and good at fighting, and protect the Liang Kingdom with their lives. After several generations, some died and some were injured. By the time it came to Chen Yuenian's generation, there were only Chen Yuenian and Chen Yuechu, and two little cousins who were not even ten years old. The family was so sparse that it was a waste to live in such a big house.
But since this house was granted to the Chen family, there is absolutely no reason to give it away. Even if it is used to enshrine the heroic children of the Chen family and a spirit tablet is placed in each room, it will not be given away.
More than ten years ago, when my father passed away, the Emperor of Liang used the excuse that the Chen family had few members and wanted to make them move to a more remote suburb. He wanted to give this mansion to the eldest princess as the Princess's Mansion. It was obvious that he was trying to bully the Chen family, as they had failed and were showing signs of downfall.
Chen Yuenian's grandfather didn't think much about it. He opened the door, knelt and cried all the way to the tomb of the founding emperor. With tears and snot, he told them how difficult their family's life was. Now even the house he had personally given them was to be taken back, which really disheartened him.
Perhaps Chen Yuenian’s grandfather’s grievances had infected the heavens, and even God wanted to vent his anger for him. That day, the whole Shengdu was sunny and windy, but the imperial palace was covered with dark clouds, lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.
Just think about it, all the heroes in the Chen family died on the battlefield. They protected so many people's families, but they couldn't protect their own family. If it weren't for their sacrifice, would the people still be able to live and work in peace and contentment like they do now?
When this incident became known, the Emperor of Liang felt as if he had been slapped in the face. More than twenty ministers jointly wrote a letter to the emperor to advise him not to discourage the generals. The torrential rain that day had proved that doing so would be punished by heaven.
The emperor thought that Chen Yuenian's father was dead and the Chen family was about to fall, so he hurriedly wanted to take action against the Chen family. However, Chen Yuenian was not dead yet, and Chen Yuenian's grandfather was still alive. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, so the emperor had to think twice before taking any action against the Chen family.
In the hearts of the people, the Chen family is like a stabilizing force. Once Grandpa Chen makes a fuss, everyone in the world knows about it. Many people secretly curse the emperor behind his back. This is also an important reason why the emperor is afraid of the Chen family.
Why is it that his influence as an emperor is not as great as that of a military general's family? He has done so many good things for the people, but he is still not remembered. Chen Yuenian's grandfather just cried a few times and thousands of people pleaded for him. In the end, Jianguo belongs to his Liang family or his Chen family.
If Chen Yuenian knew what the emperor was thinking, he would definitely laugh out loud on the spot.
As most historical records have shown, later emperors became increasingly incompetent and a slight mistake could lead to the destruction of the entire country, with constant wars and chaos until a new country was established.
The current emperor is almost such a person. What he calls doing things for the benefit of the people is to distribute money to various places, build infrastructure, build bridges and roads, and improve people's living and travel conditions. In the future, Shengdu will not be a problem.
In fact, the silver was distributed layer by layer, and almost no silver actually reached the hands of the people. If there was any silver, it was very little. What was even more outrageous was that he used the excuse of distributing silver to increase taxes on the people, under the euphemism of returning the collected taxes to the people.
In the past, the common people could still achieve food and clothing, but after several operations, they could hardly even sustain food and clothing. What was even more ridiculous was the emperor's talk of going to Shengdu.
The emperor knew clearly what those officials had done behind his back, but he still sat back and watched, allowing them to continue like this. Anyway, he had already done it, so it was none of his business if he didn't get the money. Once the tax money was collected, it would be enough to fill the national treasury. He had been thinking about building a new palace for a long time.
Chen Yuenian found it extremely ridiculous. No wonder this foolish and incompetent emperor would collude with the Zhou Kingdom, thinking that as long as he killed him, he could rest assured. Little did he know that he was the clown who was laughed at.
On the surface, Chen Yuechu was a scholar, but in fact, he also practiced martial arts secretly. Otherwise, he would not have been able to lead troops to force the emperor to abdicate and force the emperor of Liang to kneel down and offer the jade seal to beg for mercy from Zhou. He really thought that the Chen family was easy to bully.
Chen Yuenian does not have lofty ambitions. He has always been the most steady and cautious one among the five people, and he sticks to his principles in everything he does.
So when he was reborn into this body, he was instilled with all kinds of military knowledge since he could speak, he started training with his grandfather since he could walk, and he took over the sword from his father at the age of three, and he hasn't made any mistakes for more than 20 years.
He just wanted to do his best to guard the border, but the reality was far from satisfactory.
As he was walking, Chen Yuenian lost his concentration and accidentally tripped over a pebble. Fortunately, Nan Yuan was quick to catch Chen Yuenian and said with lingering fear: "If you fall down, your face will be disfigured."
After saying this, Nan Yuan suddenly realized that a fool would never say such words and react so quickly. He looked at Chen Yuenian at a loss for words and opened his mouth, trying to get away with it.
But Chen Yuenian acted as if he hadn't heard anything, and said calmly, "Thank you, Ayuan, for catching me and saving my face. Otherwise, if it gets out tomorrow, people will say that we had a quarrel and had a fight in the room in the middle of the night, leaving me with bruises and blood on my face."
Nan Yuan couldn't help but laugh at him, "How could I possibly hit you? You are tall, long-legged, and muscular. You can knock me out with just a wave of your fist."
Chen Yuenian tilted his head, "Maybe it's because I didn't fight back."
The two of them tacitly did not discuss why he was not a fool.
[Since I will be relying on him in the future, I should show some sincerity. However, his reaction was so calm. If a normal person heard me say this, I would immediately question me. But Chen Yuenian was just like nothing happened. But it’s good this way. I don’t have to make up excuses to explain to him. Otherwise, he would definitely arrest me as a spy.]
[Speaking of spies, Tianshui is a bit problematic. Tell Chen Yuenian to be careful in the future. We are now in the same boat. Helping Chen Yuenian is helping myself.]
Nan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, holding Chen Yuenian's hand and slowly digesting his food. On the way, they met several servants who looked at them as if they had seen a ghost, with fear in their eyes.
Nan Yuan still found it strange.
[Why are the servants in the general's mansion acting so strangely? Haven't they ever seen how to digest food after a full stomach? ]
Chen Yuenian replied to him in his heart that it was not the servants who were weird, but they found him weird. After all, before the marriage, he had clearly expressed that he was dissatisfied with this marriage.
