Chapter 430 Jin She Loves Talent (1)
When the butler Chu Chuan hurried over, Chu Yunfan was sitting in the study, concentrating on copying calligraphy.
The sunlight shone through the window onto the desk, making his focused figure particularly clear.
"Young Master!" As the shout came, the butler Chu Chuan trotted into the study.
Although Chu Chuan is quite old, he is still strong and his legs are nimble. He ran all the way from the front door to the study without spending too much time.
However, it was this sudden shout that startled the brush in Chu Yunfan's hand and made it tremble. The originally smooth and graceful lines suddenly became crooked, leaving a rather glaring mark on the paper for copying.
"Uncle Chuan, what is going on?" Chu Yunfan raised his head, frowned slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction appeared on his face.
However, his tone was still gentle. After all, he still had deep feelings and respect for the old housekeeper who had watched him grow up. "No matter how big the matter was, I never saw you in such a hurry. What happened today?"
Hearing Chu Yunfan's question, Chu Chuan stamped his feet in anger, his chest heaving violently, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said, "Miss Shen is here to cancel the engagement!"
This sentence was like a blockbuster bomb, exploding in the study room in an instant.
It turns out that Chu Yunfan’s fiancée is Shen Yueying, the daughter of the current imperial tutor.
The two had already got engaged several years ago and were planning to hold their wedding this year, thus creating a happy marriage.
But now, Shen Yueying suddenly came to cancel the engagement, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Chu Yunfan in front of everyone and completely trampled on his face.
This is not the most embarrassing thing. What really makes Chu Chuan angry is that in order to marry Shen Yueying, the Chu family took out a "golden medal of immunity from death".
The story begins a few years ago.
At that time, the current emperor intended to confer the title of county princess on the daughters of several ministers.
It seems like a good thing, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not grace, but a "reserve formation for marriage alliance."
First live in the capital for a few years as a county lady, and then withdraw when the time comes for a marriage.
As for saying that he got engaged privately, that was even more impossible.
When Emperor Hongwen was selecting the candidate, he made it clear that the woman must be unengaged, and once she was given the title of county princess, her name would have to appear on the list of Yudie, and the royal family would have to decide on her marriage.
Shen Yueying was not originally on the list, but she became interested because her "archenemy", the general's daughter Zhao Lanqiu, was also on the list.
Besides, in her opinion, wasn't it just a title of county lady? Even if she got it, Emperor Hongwen would definitely let her go to marry.
So she tampered with the list and replaced Zhao Lanqiu's name with her own.
When this document was made public, the ministers were shocked.
"Master Shen, you really serve the country and the people." When General Zhao saw that his daughter's name was not on the list, but Shen Yueying's name was added, he did not think too much about it as a rough man, but just thought that Master Shen was "righteous".
Little did people know that when Master Shen saw the list, he almost fainted from anger.
Because no one knows better than him what it means to be on this list, but it is too late to change it now.
Sometimes, the more you fear something in this world, the more it will happen.
Not long after the county lady was enthroned, a foreigner came to propose marriage.
This will cause a huge uproar.
Because among this group of "reserve troops for marriage alliance", although Shen Yueying is only fifteen years old, she is the oldest and has just passed the age of 15.
Emperor Hongwen didn't want to let himself or any of his relatives marry, so he wanted to play a trick and send Shen Yueying to marry.
This matter is simply putting Master Shen on the fire, letting his daughter go to marry! He is reluctant, and with Shen Yueying's temper, she will probably not have a good life.
At the age of fifteen, I went to that bitter and cold place. I don’t know if I can live past the age of eighteen!
It is basically a foregone conclusion that the older person will send the younger person off.
But since you have the title of county lady, you have to take on the responsibility.
When Shen Yueying found out, she cried and made a fuss, and finally she came up with a crooked idea.
She asked her childhood sweetheart, the prince of Chu, Chu Yunfan, to use the Chu family's golden medal of immunity from death to plead for her and exchange her for someone else to marry.
No one would agree to such a thing.
However, the only legitimate master of the Chu family is Chu Yunfan. Although he is only the prince, he has not yet inherited the position of Duke because of his young age.
Chu Yunfan was only a sixteen-year-old boy at the time. After being begged by his childhood sweetheart for several days, he got carried away and went to see Emperor Hongwen with the golden medal of immunity from death.
"Your Majesty, please do not allow Master Shen's daughter to marry." Chu Yunfan knelt in front of Hong Wendi holding the golden medal of immunity from death. "I am willing to use the golden medal of immunity from death to ask you to change your mind."
Emperor Hongwen looked at Chu Yunfan kneeling in front of him and sighed: "Have you thought it through? You should know that I will take back this golden medal of immunity from death and will never give it back to you. And you can only ask for one thing, to exempt her from marriage, and granting her marriage is another matter."
