my ancient fool

Chapter 98 Promise
"Being a husband can also obey the three rules and four virtues. As long as the wife is happy, she is willing to do anything for her husband!" Before Mu Zhige could speak, Shen Yuanping continued to promise.

"Then I have fallen into the nest of blessings." Mu Zhige laughed out loud. She never thought that she could have such a life. She originally thought that living like her mother was already the highest aspiration of a woman.

"Of course, I want my wife to live in the blessing nest all her life. Don't opera scripts often say that there will be a couple for a lifetime, and as a husband, I will promise my wife a couple for a lifetime!" Shen Yuanping said very solemnly.

"What if the emperor grants you a beauty? What if in the future I'm not as handsome as I am now?" Mu Zhige knew that she should be very touched and agreed, but she still couldn't help but speak.

"Then I'll send it back to him. If he gets angry, he can cut me off. I can't break my promise to the lady. If the lady is no longer so beautiful in the future, the husband should be old too. The husband is so much older than the lady," Shen Yuanping quickly promised.

"Besides, just the little salary for the husband is enough to support the wife alone. How can there be extra money for others to spend." Shen Yuanping thought for a while and spoke again.

"That's what you said, and the salary has to be handed over to me," Mu Zhige said with a smile.

"That's natural, but the emperor said that the salary will be paid once a year, and then all will be handed over to the lady. If I want to use the money to ask the lady for instructions!" Shen Yuanping said very sincerely.

"Why is the salary paid once a year?" I never really paid attention to this before, because there are shops and Zhuangzi in the family, and I help my mother take care of it, and I have never seen my father's salary.

"It's like this. The emperor said that now that the new dynasty has just been established, it's time to spend money. Officials with family property above the third rank will temporarily hold down their one-year salary.
The emperor spoke up, and no one dared to resist, so he agreed. Maybe after I have trained my soldiers well and wiped out a few more bandit nests, the national treasury will be enriched in one go! "Shen Yuanping said with a smile.

Although it's not as good as it is right now, but after the new year next year, the emperor should arrange to suppress the bandits. Otherwise, after the end of the township examination, those scholars will be tested for talents, candidates for exams, and those who travel long distances.

He still has some money on his body and has no force. He is not the best target for those bandits to rob. How could the emperor let him go when he is short of people.

"Will it be dangerous?" Mu Zhige worriedly grabbed Shen Yuanping's arm.

"There is no danger in marching and fighting, but I promise my husband that I will spend my old age with my wife!" Shen Yuanping did not lie to Mu Zhige, but made a solemn promise.

Moreover, Shen Yuanping is not willing to die. Now that he is pregnant with his lovely wife, the good life has just begun, how could he be willing to die!
"I hope you don't forget your promise to me!" Mu Zhige reminded.

"I will never forget anything," Shen Yuanping said with a smile.

"How long will it take?" Mu Zhige asked, feeling her butt hurt.

"It's coming, it's coming, are you tired!" Shen Yuanping asked distressedly.

"Well, it's not as comfortable as a carriage!" Mu Zhige said delicately.

"Then sit like this!" Shen Yuanping picked up Mu Zhige from the horse and let Mu Zhige sit sideways.

"Ah~~~" Mu Zhige screamed in fright.

"It's okay, lady," Shen Yuanping smiled and kissed Mu Zhige's face.

"I hate it, why are you scaring me!" Mu Zhige slapped Shen Yuanping coquettishly, but her other hand tightly hugged Shen Yuanping's arm.
