Chapter 1: Princess Changle's Wedding
The sixth year of Zhenguan.
On the day of Princess Changle's wedding, it was rumored that she married Zhangsun Chong, the son of Prime Minister Zhangsun Wuji.
The Changsun Mansion will spend thousands of taels of gold on the way to the bride today!
It means that the ground is full of gold. Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty is full of gold!
…
Chang'an, on the way to the wedding.
The lights are bright and the ground is full of red!
"Hey, have you heard that today, our Majesty's most precious daughter, Princess Changle, is going to marry the young master of the Changsun Mansion."
"I've heard that. I've also seen Young Master Chang Sun. He's not good at either literary or martial arts. I don't know why, but I always feel that this young master is not worthy of Princess Changle."
"Who says it's not true? Princess Changle has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was young, and her etiquette has been praised by countless noblemen. I can't believe that the princess didn't marry the general, but married a dandy young man instead."
"Shh...be careful with your words!"
"I'm a straightforward person, maybe... maybe we're a good match."
Similar remarks are spreading everywhere.
In a corner of the wedding procession, a young man in light black cloth had a sad face, which was out of tune with the prosperous atmosphere around him.
The crowd watching were all amazed at this man's appearance.
Her face is as handsome as jade and her eyes are as bright as stars!
Well-dressed and elegant!
What a handsome young man! !
Even plain clothes cannot hide the brilliance hidden in him!!
Qin Wenyuan didn't care at all that he had become the focus of attention.
It seems like he is turning a deaf ear to what is happening outside.
"I... am actually getting 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's initial situation, when converted into the standard of later generations, could be considered a well-off family.
Also because of his good family background, he was engaged to Miss Bai from Chang'an since he was a child.
However, when he was only 7 years old, his cheap father failed in business and he could not bear the blow and committed suicide.
My mother was a loyal person, and when she saw my father die, she committed suicide with him.
Since then, the family has fallen into decline and has been in decline ever since.
Qin Wenyuan didn't take it seriously. He had experienced too many ups and downs in his previous life, so he just let it go.
He used what little money he had left to bury his parents with great gifts, and then began his own working "dynasty".
After all, he is a time traveler, and his knowledge alone is so far beyond this era.
Qin Wenyuan has managed to survive simply by doing odd jobs over the years.
Much better than beggars and ordinary civilians.
As for the debt owed by my cheap father, one-sixth of it has been paid off.
And a month ago, a creditor told him sternly that he must pay back the money as soon as possible!
The five taels of silver that belong to him must be returned soon, otherwise I will break Qin's legs!
Five taels of silver was not a small sum in that era , and it was impossible to pay it back by just doing odd jobs.
So, he suddenly had an idea and thought of coming to Chang'an to look for the wife he had married as a child.
He has also been paying attention to the Bai family over the years. Compared with his Qin family a dozen years ago, the Bai family is considered to be wealthier, but not too wealthy.
All in all, it is much better than the Qin family which has fallen into decline.
Therefore, as long as the Bai family just throws in some small money, the so-called debt of five taels of silver is not a problem at all!
As a time traveler, and as a time traveler who has received modern education, Qin Wenyuan is quite self-aware.
he knows.
It is very difficult for him to marry a girl , so he came here not to marry a wife, but just to make some money.
He had already thrown away all the face!
After all, face is not worth much.
If he had been so petty and cared only about face, he wouldn't be alive today.
But what he never expected was!
The Bai family really married his wife to him! !
However, the lady’s partner was not the young lady of the Bai family, but her maid.
Not everyone is shameless. Qin is shameless, but the Bai family is shameless!
Because of face and other issues, the Bai family finally came to force Qin to marry their eldest daughter with a maid.
At present, Qin Wenyuan still doesn’t 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 was too far away for him, too far away!
Now he still believes that these decorations were made by people from the Bai family.
The purpose is to save the Bai family's face.
"Forget it, just marry a maid. Anyway, the Bai family promised me that as long as I marry that maid and comply with their wishes, they will give me 100 taels of silver."
"With this one hundred taels of silver, let alone the five taels of silver that I owe, there is no place in the world that I cannot go."
Qin Wenyuan suddenly came to his senses.
Although the Bai family is not a big family, Mr. Bai was one of the few soldiers who followed the King of Qin, the current emperor, to raise an army at Xuanwu Gate.
Although he does not hold any title now, he still has some connections.
Therefore, one hundred taels is really nothing to them.
"Now that we are here, we should make the best of it. Chang'an is too big. It would be nice to marry a wife here and take her back to the countryside."
"It would be best if she was as pretty as a flower. That way, when I travel to those places in the future, I can brag to others that my wife is from Chang'an. What do you think? Envy her, right? Hahahaha!"
Qin Wenyuan seemed to be very open-minded and just continued walking.
…
At the same time, inside the palace.
Empress Changsun touched her daughter Princess Changle's cheek lovingly and gently helped her dress up.
"Li Zhi, being in the royal family, nothing can be decided by you."
“No matter who you marry, you have to know that they choose to marry you for a purpose, whether it’s for marriage alliance or power.”
"Even if... the purpose is to have His Majesty as your backer, it is difficult for you to rely on your true love."
"I know 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 when you were a child, and you didn't understand much."
"Although your cousin is a bit mediocre in all aspects, he is indeed the most suitable husband to take care of . You should know that your mother and your majesty have always loved you the most and will not harm you."
Empress Changsun spoke slowly, with a look of relief on her face.
Indeed, it is very difficult for a princess to meet her true love. If you are not of the same social status as the man she is dating, then you are not qualified to marry a princess.
No matter who marries the princess, he must have his own purpose in mind.
Even the mediocre Chang Sun Chong is like this.
Li Lizhi had lived in the royal family since she was a child, so she understood these principles very well.
"Mother, Li Zhi, I understand."
