Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 47

Chu Zhen pursed her lips and said nothing, Chu Chan said, "If outsiders know about my dad, it will have an impact on the elder brother, the second brother and the younger brother, and it will also affect us. As we get older, we will always marry someone, and if we want to marry A good family, a clean family background is indispensable."

Although there are not so many requirements for women in this era, the folk customs are considered open, and there are things for women to confess, but if you want to marry a real nobleman, you must have a clean family background and a clean character.

If things like Chu's father were known, it would be impossible for Chu Zhen to marry a nobleman. Even if she was valued by that nobleman, she could only be a concubine.

A concubine can be given as a gift among nobles at will, even if it is given to a servant, the concubine cannot resist, so Chu Zhen will never let herself be a concubine.

Sure enough, when Chu Zhen heard about it, her expression darkened, but she said warmly, "Sister, don't worry, I know, and I will definitely not talk nonsense outside."

Chu Chan's eyes fell on Ping'er who was huddled by the kitchen door again, and Ping'er panicked, "Don't worry, girl, the servant will not talk nonsense outside."

Chu Zhen glanced at Ping'er, and said to Chu Chan, "Sister, don't worry, if she dares to gossip outside, I will cut off her tongue!"

Ping'er trembled, not daring to say more.

When Zeng came back, Chu Chan asked her what the neighbors were asking, and Zeng said, "In the morning, there were few people and no one met, so I didn't say much."

Chu Chan nodded. Not long after, Sun also came back with Chu Yu and Chu Hong. The two obviously learned what had happened from Sun. The three of them went directly to Yecheng without delay.

Mrs. Sun wanted to go with her, but Chu Chan saw that she looked a little upset, fearing that she would not be able to bear it, so she comforted her and asked her to stay at home.

After sending Mrs. Sun back to her room to rest, Chu Chan told her not to spread the matter about Father Chu outside, Mrs. Sun nodded wearily.

Chu Chan, Chu Yu and Chu Hong directly hired a carriage and rushed to Yecheng. It was almost noon when they arrived in Yecheng.

The city wall of Ye City was three or four feet high, and there were soldiers holding spears standing on the wall. There were also many soldiers guarding the gate of the city, and each person had to pay a won coin to enter.

As soon as he entered Yecheng, Chu Chan discovered that Yecheng was extremely prosperous, with spacious avenues, a large population, crowds of people coming and going on the streets, hawkers, and all kinds of shops beside the road.

This was Chu Chan's first visit to Yecheng, and the three bought oatmeal and pancakes on the side of the road to fill their stomachs.

After eating, Chu Chan inquired about the location of the official mansion with the stall owner, and the three went straight to the official mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the official mansion, the three of them saw a lot of people gathered at the door, crying and crying. After listening carefully, they were all related to the matter of buying officials, and all those who paid for buying officials were arrested.

At this time, the gate of the official mansion was closed, and everyone had no choice but to wait outside. After about an hour, the gate of the official mansion finally opened, and everyone crowded forward to complain.

But he didn't see the official, only a few officials came out with a notice and pasted it on the notice wall.

As soon as it was posted, several officials immediately returned to the Yamen and closed the gate.

Everyone swarmed in front of the notice wall, and Chu Chan and the three of them also swarmed up, only then did they see what was pasted on it.
