MTL - Unlimited Supplies: Take the Space Supermarket To Support the Right Minister-Chapter 402 Hou Zhongyi
Chapter 402 Loyalty Marquis
The old lady was sitting upright on the mahogany chair in the middle, wearing a plain velvet embroidered jacket on her upper body, a fine brocade skirt of Yunyan on her lower body, and a brocade and wool cloak on her body, it could be seen that she was afraid of the cold.
Introduced by Cui Huaixin, Su Jingchen bowed to the old lady.
Cui Huaixin asked him to call the old lady Mrs. Kou.
Combined with the Marquis of Loyalty written on the gold powder plaque he saw outside just now, Su Jingchen knew that Mrs. Kou should be the mother of Hou Maunian of Loyalty.
Why do you say she is the mother of Hou Zhongyi?
First, if this is the wife of the loyal Hou, Cui Huaixin should call her Mrs. Hou Ye, but Mrs. Kou.
Second, the wife of Hou Zhongyi should not be so old.
It stands to reason that the mansion of a noble royal relative like Hou Zhongyi should be in the capital. The reason why it is in Huizhou is because Hou Ye Zhongyi has a good reputation and no real power.
The story of Kou Maonian's heroic savior when he was young should be well known in Daliang. Su Jingchen also heard about it from Zhao Zhiyun, about the fact that Hou Zhongyi was shot in the legs by poisonous arrows of the enemy in order to save the emperor on the battlefield thing.
Later, because the toxin spread too fast and could not be controlled, if it was delayed any longer, Kou Maonian might lose his life. There was no way to save Kou Maonian's life, so the emperor ordered his legs to be broken to save his life.
Kou Maonian, a dignified military general, just became a man without legs and slumped on the bed.
In order to thank Kou Maonian for his sacrifice, the emperor conferred the title of Marquis of Loyalty to Kou Maonian, and promised his descendants to inherit the title unconditionally for three consecutive generations.
Although Kou Maonian has disabled legs and cannot serve in the court, but because he is one of the emperor's most trusted people, he is also the target of many princes scrambling to win him over.
Kou Maonian himself didn't want to get involved in the disputes of the imperial court and fight for the throne with several princes, so he asked him to live in his hometown in Huizhou, and stay away from disputes.
However, although Kou Maonian chose to live in a safe place, he still did not escape the tricks of fate. However, after Huizhou, he died of serious injuries due to a small wind and cold.
You must think that the present Hou Zhongyi is the son of Kou Maonian, right?
No, the current Marquis of Zhongyi is Kou Siyu, the grandson of Kou Maonian.
Kou Siyu's father was even shorter than his grandfather, he had only been a Marquis of Zhongyi for twenty years before belching, and died at the age of forty-nine.
So, the present Hou Zhongyi is very young, only twenty years old this year.
After Su Jingchen and Mrs. Kou finished their salutes, they stood aside, and Mrs. Kou watched him from beginning to end.
Finally, Mrs. Kou will examine Su Jingchen carefully, and then ask, "When were you born? How old are you?"
Su Jingchen answered all of them out of politeness.
Old Mrs. Kou smiled gently, "I saw your mother before she came out of the cabinet, but I didn't expect that my old lady is still alive and well, but she has been gone for many years.
Oh, what a pity, your mother, that is a wonderful person!
I heard from your uncle that you are studying at Jianyin Academy in Los Angeles now? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, if you plan to take the imperial examination, that would be great.
Old lady, your mother and I are old acquaintances. At that time, I wanted to recognize your mother as my goddaughter, but I have never been able to do so. Now that I see you, I also like it from the bottom of my heart. Would you...would you like to be my godson? "
Su Jingchen didn't want to have multiple grandmas for no reason at all, and he never heard her mother mention knowing Kou's family.
Nothing to show courteousness, either **** or steal.
Su Jingchen politely rejected Mrs. Kou's 'kindness'.
"This is the first time, and the second time my uncle lied to me that he was seriously ill, but he actually wanted to arrange a marriage for me."
"The person I'm going to arrange for you won't be a girl from the Kou family, right?" Yu Xiaolian seemed to have a clue.
Su Jingchen nodded, "Yes, they are girls from the branch of the Kou family. There are two of them. They said they accepted my choice, and they asked me to stay in Huizhou Academy to study and not to return to Los Angeles.
Actually, I knew what they were up to since then.
It’s nothing more than the fact that the only grandson of the Kou family is incapable of being a weapon, and the emperor’s grace to the Marquis of the Kou family has reached the last generation in a blink of an eye. In order to prevent the Kou family from being ruined, it’s my idea.
Unexpectedly, I refused again and again, but they still haven't given up! "
When Su Jingchen said this, he felt cold, and Yu Xiaolian felt that the temperature around him dropped several degrees.
"I don't understand. Since they are sure that you are a descendant of the Kou family, why don't they recognize you openly? Why do you have to make all these twists and turns?" Yu Xiaolian asked.
Su Jingchen snorted coldly, "That's because they're not sure if I'm qualified to be a descendant of the Kou family. If my side wins in Qiuwei, the Kou family will definitely welcome me back with great fanfare, because I can let them The Kou family has a glorious lintel. Heh...they are waiting, and I am waiting too!"
It's just that the result is definitely not what they expected, and he, Su Jingchen, will not be a dutiful son and grandson of the Kou family.
"Ah, so they came up with this idea!"
The abacus is loud enough!
No wonder I didn't go to Su Jingchen for more than ten years, but now I want to recognize this grandson. Presumably, I know that Su Jingchen has passed the examination of Linzhou's case leader, and I know that he will be a potential stock in the future, so I want to recognize him.
If Su Jingchen was just an ordinary scholar who didn't shine very well, the Kou family wouldn't pay any attention to him at all. The Kou family is really snobbish.
It's funny to say, the three generations of Marquis of the Kou family are just playing around, and in just a few decades, the position of Marquis has been changed by three people.
That is to say, if Kou Siyu is a poor man and cannot make contributions, then the Loyalty Marquis Mansion will cease to exist after Kou Siyu, and the Kou family will become ordinary civilians. No title means no glory, and even more There is no free salary to receive.
Yu Xiaolian rubbed her chin, Kou Siyu, it was written in the book that during the civil war between several princes, Kou Siyu stood in the camp of Cheng Wangjun.
Later, after Jun Yi'an came to the throne, none of the brothers who opposed him had a good end. Kou Siyu's banner fell, and the Kou family naturally had no good end.
Yu Xiaolian told Su Jingchen about the vaguely remembered plot.
Su Jingchen smiled, "Lian'er, I'm afraid it will be difficult for King Jin to ascend to the high position again!"
"Huh?" Yu Xiaolian was very surprised.
No matter how the storyline changes, she never thought that the main line would change!
"What do you mean by that?"
Su Jingchen's eyes flickered, "There are some things I can't tell you right now, the less you know, the better."
Yu Xiaolian frowned, "Could it be that you are optimistic about Jun Tingye?"
Su Jingchen shook his head mysteriously, "It's not him!"
"It's Jun Mobai, isn't it?" Yu Xiaolian suddenly realized that he had ignored Jun Mobai, the hero in the book.
