Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

In the evening, Duke Dingguo Zhou Chenli also came to Zhou Jiyuan's yard out of curiosity.

It was impossible not to be curious, as his wife was not in the backyard. When asked, she said she was with the young master.

Zhou Chenli went to Zhou Jiyuan's yard and saw: Humph, these guys are about to rebel. They don't work and just sit there with their ears perked up.

Zhou Chenli stood at the gate of the courtyard and heard Xu Miao telling the story of Monkey King fighting monsters from afar.

When I heard that Sun Wukong took out a small stick from his ear and blew it with his mouth, it turned into a golden cudgel that was more than two meters long, as thick as a bowl, and weighed 13,500 kilograms.

Zhou Chenli couldn't help but say, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can anyone lift something so heavy and make it bigger by blowing on it? This is nonsense."

As soon as Zhou Chenli finished speaking, he heard an angry shout from the corner of the yard.

"Fork out the one who's talking."

Zhou Chenli exploded in anger and shouted, "Let's see who dares!"

With Zhou Chenli's roar, everyone in the yard turned around and looked at him.

Zhou Chenli didn't care about the horrified expressions on the faces of the servants as he strode into the yard.

Xu Miao and the servants hurriedly knelt on the ground. Xu Miao felt very aggrieved as she did not expect Zhou Chenli to come at this time.

If she had known that the Duke would come today, she would not have told the story. The Duke's roar just now scared her to death.

Just as Zhou Chenli stood still, he saw a little servant crawling out from the corner, kneeling down in front of Zhou Chenli and starting to cry.

"Please spare my life, Duke! I didn't realize it was you who was speaking to me just now... I deserve to die. Please spare my life, Duke."

After saying that, the servant raised his hand and slapped himself a few times. The crisp sound of the slaps was so painful that Xu Miao felt pain.

Zhou Chenli frowned and kicked the servant: "Get out of here, you bastard."

The servant boy Shishi Chengcheng was kicked and quickly raised his leg and rolled away.

The servant was also feeling aggrieved. He came back late from work today and was sitting in the back, so he could hardly hear what Xu Miao said.

He was concentrating on listening to Xu Miao's story until he reached an exciting part, when he was suddenly interrupted. He drank something without realizing it was the Duke who was drinking.

It was not unfair for him to slap himself a few times. Everyone in the hospital blamed him for his bad mouth.

Fortunately, the Duke just kicked him and scared him to death.

He has made up his mind that next time he listens to Xu Miao, he will wear a mask to make him speak faster.

Xu Miao and the servants were afraid of Zhou Chenli, but Madam and Zhou Jiyuan were not.

Zhou Jiyuan saw his father coming and interrupted Xu Miao's story. He stood on the ground and shouted angrily: "Dad, why did you come to me when you have nothing to do? Don't you have anything to do?"

Zhou Jiyuan...was just listening with great interest when his father interrupted him just as he had just produced his golden cudgel. So annoying!

The lady rolled her eyes at Zhou Chenli and said, "Master, are you free? You're just wandering around without any reason and you didn't even inform us in advance."

Zhou Chenli looked at the girl and boy glaring at him, and walked away angrily.

He couldn't stay in this house any longer. Everyone found him annoying.

Go to the palace and complain to the emperor!

Zhou Chenli has been wanting to go to the palace for several days. He has been almost sickened by Xu Jingyi recently.

Xu Jingyi stuck behind him like a plaster, reminding him all the time that there was someone like Xu Jingyi waiting for him.

Zhou Chenli drank tea in teahouses, drank wine in pubs, and walked on the streets. One morning, he even saw Xu Jingyi wandering around the gate of the Duke's Mansion as soon as he went out.

Xu Jingyi was quite interesting, he never approached Zhou Chenli, but just saluted him from a distance and walked away without saying much.

At first, when Zhou Chenli met him, he thought it was a coincidence. After all, there were only a few places in the capital that he often went to.

Later he found out that Xu Jingyi did it on purpose. It was not possible to meet him by chance every day.

And his deadly demeanor. He stood not far from Duke Dingguo, pretending to be so hypocritical, and bowed to him with a smile on his face.

Zhou Chenli felt sick just thinking about it: Doesn't Xu Jingyi attend court? He comes here every day to annoy him. He just has nothing better to do.

Go to the palace and ask the emperor to arrange a position for him that will keep him busy to death, and see if Xu Jingyi still has time to come out and follow him around to annoy him.

Emperor: It’s rare that Duke Dingguo has time to think of me. Thank you, Xu Jingyi.

Zhou Chenli sat in the palace. The emperor looked at him with a smile and said, "Duke Dingguo, it's been a long time since you came to the palace to see me. I miss you very much."

Zhou Chenli looked at the current emperor who was sitting opposite him and smiling like a fox: Old fox, you only know how to tell lies.

Zhou Chenli thought so in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud.

Things are different now. They are now king and subject, not just cousins.

Zhou Chenli bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am not worthy of your remembrance."

After saying this, Zhou Chenli pulled out a thick stack of silver notes from his pocket and handed it to the emperor: "Here, this humble servant presents your majesty with five hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Winter is approaching and we'll need a lot of money. This is for the emperor to hold the flowers."

In winter, we have to repair houses for the people, prevent disasters, prepare military expenses, and spend money on the New Year, etc.

Every winter, the court's expenses increase, and the emperor has been worried about this in recent days.

Seeing the thick stack of banknotes Zhou Chenli brought, the current emperor took it with a smile on his face: "My cousin is amazing. He gave me 500,000 taels. I have to thank you very much. I have been worried about the money recently."

The Emperor: Duke Dingguo’s ability to make money is incredible, and he contributes a lot to his private treasury every year.

Zhou Chenli waved his hand: "I don't have any other skills, I just like making money. This money is too much and it's useless. Sending it to the emperor will help relieve his worries."

The current emperor is definitely a good emperor. Under his rule, the people of the Great Zhou are kind-hearted, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is prosperity everywhere.

But only those who run a household know how expensive firewood and rice are. A small family needs money to spend, and everyone needs it even more.

Therefore, the emperor was short of silver most of the time. He did not mind having more silver, the more the better.

After receiving the money from Duke Dingguo, the emperor now likes Zhou Chenli in every way.

Holding a teacup, she asked Zhou Chenli with a smile, "The Duke's Mansion has been very lively recently! Are Yuan and Rou'er all right?"

When Zhou Chenli heard the emperor talk about the things in his mansion, he knew that nothing could be hidden from the emperor.

The emperor is no ordinary person. He always pays attention to the developments of various families.

Zhou Chenli took a sip of tea from his teacup and sighed, "Your Majesty doesn't know that my house has become a den of demons. My wife and son are always talking about demons and they both find me annoying. It's better here with Your Majesty; he doesn't look down on me."

The emperor laughed heartily after hearing this and asked Zhou Chenli with a gossipy look on his face, "Duke Dingguo, tell me what's going on in your mansion recently. Are there any monsters?"

The emperor also likes gossip.

Zhou Chenli told the emperor the whole story from beginning to end, and the emperor laughed so hard that he couldn't stop.

"This daughter of Lord Xu is quite interesting. In order to coax Yuan to eat vegetables, she actually made up a monkey story. It's really hard for her. Hahahaha."

"Once you have someone polish this story, bring it to the palace for me to read. I think my little grandchildren will like it."

Xu Miao: Your Majesty, rest assured. Your princes and grandsons will definitely like it. I guarantee it.
