Time Travel: The Useless Prince, First Destroy the Princess

"Have a drink!" Liu Zhao poured a glass for Chu Lan.

Chu Lan refused instantly: "I can't!"

He looks very nervous, it doesn't seem like he's pretending!

This made Liu Zhao believe what she said even more.

"It's okay, drink some!"

Alcohol can make people tell the truth, Liu Zhao must try it again.

As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and gently handed it to Chu Lan's lips.

Chu Lan stuck out her tongue and licked a little, then immediately covered her mouth: "It's too spicy!"

Liu Zhao took a sip from Chu Lan's cup and found it tasted pretty good.

Chu Lan watched Liu Zhao take a sip from his own cup. She felt a little embarrassed, but still asked curiously, "Is it delicious? Why does it taste so spicy to me?"

"It won't be spicy if you drink a little!" Liu Zhao handed it over again.

Chu Lan gritted her teeth, took a sip and swallowed it, then choked and started coughing.

The spiciness spreads from the mouth to the stomach!

"Forget it!" Liu Zhao looked at Chu Lan and realized that he really couldn't drink. He was not in a hurry to find out whether what Chu Lan said was true or not.

There is plenty of time!

Although from the perspective of modern psychology, assuming that someone is a bad person is a bad preconceived idea.

But that was modern times. In this dynasty that we traveled to, no one probably understood psychology.

You should use it yourself at least a little, just don't talk about it.

"It's okay. If you want me to drink, I'll try to drink some more!"

Chu Lan drank a sip of water and then took another small sip. This time the situation was much better and not as irritating.

Liu Zhao smiled and said, "You don't have to listen to me!"

"why?"

Chu Lan asked back.

"No reason! Drinking some wine can relieve fatigue and increase interest!" Liu Zhao explained and changed the subject.

"To relieve fatigue!" Chu Lan blushed. She vaguely guessed what Liu Zhao meant.

"Sir, do you drink often?" Chu Lan asked.

"Yes!" Liu Zhao said casually, "You've never drunk it before!"

Liu Zhao said as he picked up some food for Chu Lan.

Chu Lan nodded and happily started eating the mutton that Liu Zhao gave her.

Liu Zhao smiled. Chu Lan’s real cherry lips looked so beautiful even when she was eating!

After Chu Lan drank two sips of wine, her face flushed, making her even more beautiful!

Liu Zhao couldn't help but be stunned!

Men really are animals who think with their lower body, and Liu Zhao is no exception.

This has a reaction!

Is it because of the body being too strong?

Or is the thought too evil?

Looking at Chu Lan blankly, Chu Lan was startled when she suddenly saw Liu Zhao's dull gaze.

"Is there something on my face?"

"No! You're so beautiful!"

Liu Zhao praised sincerely.

But Chu Lan couldn't accept Liu Zhao's blatant praise, and her face turned even redder.

He whispered, "Don't say that!"

Although I said this, I was naturally very happy in my heart.

"Okay! Eat!" Liu Zhao picked up some food for her, but Chu Lan didn't dare to raise her head.

“I’ve never eaten anything so delicious before!”

Chu Lan was obviously very satisfied with the food.

"So what did you eat before?"

Liu Zhao asked casually.

"I only ate meat once when I was a kid, and it was pork!"

"Or pork? What does that mean?"

Liu Zhao was a little puzzled. Is pork bad?

"Well! You are from a wealthy family, haven't you ever eaten pork?"

Chu Lan was obviously a little curious as well.

"I have! How come you have only eaten it once?" Liu Zhao answered casually, but it seemed that there was really no pork in the palace.

In modern times, isn’t pork the staple food?

Although people also eat lamb and beef, most people still eat pork.

"Because my family is poor, I dare not eat it!"

Chu Lan said.

"Oh!" Liu Zhao nodded. It seemed that there were many people among the people who were starving and freezing.

"My family is relatively well off. Even though we can't eat meat, at least we're not starving to death!"

Chu Lan continued.

"Are there still people who starved to death?" Liu Zhao immediately thought of Du Fu's poems.

The rich have wine and meat, while the poor freeze to death on the streets!

That was the Tang Dynasty, another era. The economic development level of this era was far behind that of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there would be people starving to death!

I was a little over-alarmed.

"Most of the people in my village who grew up with me starved to death, and some were sold at a very young age!"

"So pitiful!" Liu Zhao saw that although Chu Lan had only drunk two sips of wine, she must be a little drunk.

I started talking more.

Chu Lan said this, tears welling up in her eyes, and took the initiative to pick up the wine glass: "I would be willing to die now if I could meet you, sir!"

"What?" Liu Zhao was very surprised. Why did Chu Lan suddenly say such emotional words?

He hurriedly picked up the cup.

Chu Lan took a big sip before continuing.

"In fact, I'm ready to sell it to an old man!"

"why?"

"Because, because only those rich old people are willing to spend so much money!"

"Why wouldn't the young ones be willing? As long as they have money, anything is possible!"

"Young man, who else can have so much money unless they are from a wealthy family like you?"

"That does make sense!"

Times are changing, but the fact that young people are generally poor remains unchanged.

"Young Master, is your money earned by your family or by yourself?" Chu Lan drank some wine and started talking more.

"My family made some money, and I made some money myself, of course!"

"You are so awesome! I originally thought I would be abused after being sold to the old man!"

"Abuse, why would the elderly abuse others?" Liu Zhao felt that Chu Lan's idea was indeed a bit strange.

"Because the old men who can come up with so much money have many wives and concubines at home. Anyone who goes to their home will be bullied by those wives!" Chu Lan's face flushed and she blinked as she spoke.

"That's not impossible!"

"Also, if the old man dies soon, I will be buried with him!"

"Burial alive? What era is it now? Are people still buried alive?" Liu Zhao was a little shocked.

"Sir, when a husband dies, isn't it a rule that all wives, except the principal wife and the concubines who have children, should be buried with him?"

"All the other wives were buried alive with the deceased? Who told you that?" Liu Zhao was really confused.

This era is indeed backward. Is it really possible to have such a ridiculous practice?

"No one said that. It's just the way it is. Sir, is this strange?"

Chu Lan asked back.

"Don't you find this strange? Why would a good person be buried alive?"

"Isn't burial alive meant to preserve one's reputation?" Chu Lan looked at Liu Zhao in surprise.

"What reputation?"

"I can't really explain it, but it's just a reputation!"

"You don't even know what fame is, and you still think it's weird to be buried alive with someone?"

"I, but, isn't it always like this?"

Chu Lan was speechless after being asked this question.

"Forget it, I can't explain it clearly!" Liu Zhao sighed.

Perhaps, as later generations said, ignorance is not to be feared.

What is scary is that people don’t know what ignorance is and make it a habit.

It is easy to change a person's appearance, but it is extremely difficult to change a person's inherent thinking!

But obviously, this is not a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Or, sometimes, being a little ignorant may be a good thing for yourself!

At least it’s much better than modern society where women always demand equal rights!

Especially married men, they understand this deeply!
