Chapter 127: Township Monarch

"This girl of the Xia family is willing to take out the promise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and use it like this, it seems that she is indeed a true woman with high character and is not moved by fame and fortune!"

Under the bright lights, hearing Su Chunfeng's speech after the request and the rejected princess Xie Shi, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It is obviously impossible for such a woman to be subdued by power, so if you want her to marry willingly, there is no second way except to exchange a sincere heart." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I want to exchange a true heart, but it's obviously too late to meet her!" Looking at Xie Shi's contradictory appearance of nodding approvingly for Xia Shuanghan's noble conduct, and regretting and regretting his stepson's failure to hold the beauty, Su Yixing, who was also contradictory and entangled in his heart, was really embarrassed to say the childish complaint in his heart.

"......" glanced at his son's sullen expression, and deeply felt that Su Yixing's current "unhappiness" was better than the previous "moody, yin and yang" Su Chunfeng, who didn't know how many times, cleared his throat, and told the two around him the other undisclosed news that he had just gotten from the saint today.

It turned out that after the hard work of Lu Shaoyun and the defenders of Tongcheng for a period of time, the criminals related to the production and sale of red and white pills in the northwest region have now all been arrested. Therefore, after considering that Jin Wuwei has also completed the arrest task in the Gyeonggi area, the time has come for the Shengshang, who believes that the "Red Baimaru case" has basically been closed, to identify the Xia family, especially Xia Shuanghan.

Combined with the fact that Xia Shuanghan first sacrificed her name for this task, and then almost gave her life, as well as her unmoved by fame and fortune, and her willingness to exchange "His Royal Highness the Prince's promise" for "freedom of marriage", the saint decided to issue a decree to canonize Xia Shuanghan as a "loyal and righteous countryman".

"Loyal and righteous countryman?" The Xie clan was very surprised when he heard this, because, in the territory of Great Xia, the township monarch was a grade that only the first-class princess could be awarded.

Now, Xia Shuanghan will not only be crowned as the daughter of Wupin Hanlin, but also have the title of "loyalty" given by the Holy Lord.

Come to think of it, the day when the holy decree is truly issued, Xia Shuanghan will immediately be able to leap from a white body with no grade and no rank to the most noble unmarried girl in the whole of Xia except for the royal bloodline.

"Have you earned the rank of a countryman by relying on your own efforts? Such a capable girl, I don't know if I regret missing Xia Shuanghan, the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Xie Shi, who appreciated Xia Shuanghan very much, whispered silently in his heart. Coke is willing to fulfill Su Yixing's marriage, and how does she know that even if Xia Shuanghan's identity is a princess, it is impossible for the Xu family to be willing to let her be her daughter-in-law in this life.

The conversation that the three members of the Xiangyang Wang family conducted in the main hall of the main courtyard about "the Holy Lord is about to issue an edict and give Xia Shuanghan the title of the countryman" really became a fact within two days. And Xia Shuanghan, who knelt down to receive the holy decree of "bestowing the seal" from his father-in-law, failed to recover from his surprise for a while.

Out of the protection of Xia Shuanghan and the Xia family, the holy decree did not specifically state what kind of deeds Xia Shuanghan had made for Great Xia, so he was given the title of loyal and righteous countryman. But what is clearly stated in the holy decree is that Xia Shuanghan's "escape from marriage" last year was all an explanation of the blindfold that had to be used in order to escape, but it really justified the name of the Xia family.

Xia Shuanghan, who originally thought in his heart that the matter of "correct name" was the holy decree of the saint, and then rewarded the Xia family with some property to finish the matter, was very maladaptable in the face of the title of "Xiangjun" that suddenly fell from the sky. But then, she understood the truth that "thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace", so she accepted the accident calmly and calmly.

The issuance of the holy decree of the righteous name spread throughout the capital and outside the capital within three days. Since then, Xia Jingzhi is no longer a derelict father who "teaches his daughter no way", Xia Shuanghan is no longer a negative example of "lewd and shameless", and even Xia Chaoyang will no longer be excluded by his classmates in the same school because of his sister's "brave pursuit of freedom and happiness".

For those who used two completely different faces to deal with the Xia family before and after the holy decree was issued, the three members of the Xia family silently stamped them with the seal of "tending to the flames" in their hearts, and then chose to ignore them. And those who originally understood that Xia Shuanghan, who was half of the Rong people, acted and lived in accordance with the way of the Rong people, but they were just facing Xia Shuanghan with a respectful attitude, and they were not much different from usual and indifferent to deal with the Xia family.

"I really didn't expect that I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and now I am just a sesame official from the sixth grade, you have only gone out to work for more than half a year, and now you have become a township gentleman with a much higher grade than me?"

On the evening of the day when the holy decree was issued, Liu Zirun, who had returned from the household service, met Xia Shuanghan who went to the school to pick up Xia Chaoyang at the entrance of Shuanghe Lane. Subsequently, he walked into the alley with the Xia sisters and brothers, and opened his mouth to joke about Xia Shuanghan.

"So, junior brother, you were born a man by mistake, you said that if you were born as a woman, you would marry a promising young talent in the future, wouldn't you also be able to dip your husband's light, easily cross Erlang's legs, and wait for him to ask you to be a lady of the command?"

After returning to Beijing from Tongcheng Pass, Xia Shuanghan, who soon learned that "Liu Zirun lost the family affairs of the servant of the Ministry in order to protect her", has been joking with Liu Zirun like a child recently.

Liu Zirun didn't like that Miss Zhang family, so he didn't feel sorry for the fact that he didn't feel sorry for the family affairs of the servants of the ministry, Xia Shuanghan had already seen it from his attitude when he talked about this family matter.

Therefore, thinking of the previous life, Liu Zirun and Miss Na Zhang lived a lukewarm, salty and indifferent married life, and Xia Shuanghan, who felt that "maybe if you change someone, Zirun can live better than in her previous life", did not have any negative emotions because of the breakdown of this family affair.

It's just that when Xia Shuanghan knew that the reason why Su Yixing was interested in her from "I'm interested in you" to "I want to marry you" was completely because of Liu Zirun's relationship, she didn't know how they became friends, and suddenly she had a strong emotion of crying and laughing.

"You lost a rotten peach blossom because of me, and I was entangled by a rotten peach blossom because of you, is this what Buddhism calls the cycle of cause and effect?"

Xia Shuanghan, who was thinking like this, continued to lead Xia Chaoyang in the alley, glancing at Liu Zirun, who was walking beside her, although she felt that this series of things was very joyful, but she didn't want her friends to get involved in this troublesome matter, and finally swallowed the advice of "don't have anything to do with Su Yixing".

Although the matter of the Holy Decree conferring Xia Shuanghan as the loyal and righteous countryman, although it did not set off any waves in the Xia family, which was indifferent and poor, in the backyard of the powerful families of various families, most of the ladies and dependents regarded this matter as a topic of conversation after tea and dinner.

The marriage of the Queen Mother, Xia Chaoyang who was locked up in the Dingguo Mansion that Jingzhao Yin Yamen was desperately looking for, and Xia Shuanghan, who had washed away the charge of "running away from marriage and running away", thought of these three things, but anyone with a little brain, who could not guess the selfish methods that Xu used behind his back.

Originally, before Xia Shuanghan became the countryman, the Xu family had the idea of kicking Xia Shuanghan away and replacing Pei Huanting as their daughter-in-law, and the wives of various families were not incomprehensible. After all, disfigured, mixed-race, poor, and daughter-in-law with these defects, it is normal for Xu to be disdainful.

But now, after Xia Shuanghan became a loyal and righteous countryman, she suddenly rose to the top of her status, but Pei Huanting couldn't catch up. What about the prime minister's granddaughter, what about the second daughter of Dali Siqing, no matter how much Pei Huanting, who is white, no matter how much she befriends Princess Shengping, she can't change the fact that her status is not comparable to Xia Shuanghan.

As a result, "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons" has become a sneer at Xu behind the backs of many wives. While the Xu family was ridiculed, Pei Huanting, as a party to the marriage ceremony, also failed to escape the criticism and ridicule of the rumors.

Since the Xu family can kidnap Xia Chaoyang in order to steal the marriage book and tokens, then she must know the fact that the marriage contract between Lu Xia's two families is still valid. Under such circumstances, it would be too fake to say that Chen and Pei Huanting, who intend to marry the Dingguo Mansion, do not know the truth of the matter.

After all, since Lu Shaoyun left Beijing last year, Pei Huanting and the Chen family have been very close to the female dependents of the Dingguo Mansion. Do you want to say that this mother and daughter who go to the Dingguo Mansion every ten days and half a month don't know the truth? Who believes this!

So, the question is, since Pei Huanting and the Chen family both know the fact that Lu Shaoyun has a marriage contract, why are they still rushing up to get married? Is Miss Pei's family insisting on being cheap, or does she have some unsavory secrets so she insists on robbing the marriage?

As a result, "Rushing upside down, you can't leave a man" has become a label attached to Pei Huanting, so that even if she hides in her own courtyard and stays at home, she can't avoid the white eyes and ridicule of her sisters.

Pei Huanting didn't understand, why did things become like this in just a few days? A few days ago, it was her Pei Huanting who was waiting to be married; Lu Shaoyun's future wife is also her Pei Huanting. But a few days later, Xia Shuanghan, who was ridiculed by everyone last year, became a loyal and righteous countryman who made meritorious contributions to Great Xia; And Lu Shaoyun, who went out of Beijing under the pretense of emotional injury, was actually just waiting for Xia Shuanghan to return to Beijing to marry him.

Xia Shuanghan must be laughing at her now, right? She took out Xia Chaoyang, who Jingzhao Yin Ya couldn't find in broad daylight, from the Dingguo Mansion, and deliberately let him, who was holding his sleeves, showing scars, with tears on his face, and pitiful, thank Lin Zhukuai for saving his life in front of so many people on the street, didn't she do this just to make things bigger, so that others could slap her Pei Huanting in the face!

But don't think about it! She Pei Huanting will not admit defeat, as long as the marriage decree is still valid, she will say that she will fight with Xia Shuang Han! She wants to see who Lu Shaoyun will love like a treasure in the end!

On the side of this room, the hideous-looking Pei Huanting is stubborn in her boudoir; On the other side, Prime Minister Pei Cheng, who is busy with state affairs and doesn't care about the back house, can't still be indifferent and ignore after hearing those market rumors that are getting more and more fierce.

Pei Heming, the gray-haired, old-fashioned but still wise and wise prime minister of the dynasty, is a pillar of the country with an upright temper and a decent style, he is used to seeing the mundane and troubles in this world, and after seeing his own granddaughter involved in the unclear marriage between the two families of Lu Xia, he thought that he must come forward to beat and ignite his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

So, not long after the holy decree justified the name of the Xia family, when he returned home at dusk one day, he summoned Chen and Pei Huanting to his study together after dinner.

"Mrs. Xu went to the Queen Mother to ask for a decree, did you two know in advance?" Sitting on the chair and glancing at his daughter-in-law and granddaughter who were standing silently, Pei Heming got straight to the point: "To tell the truth, if anyone dares to lie in this matter, I will definitely serve the family law." ”

"Back to my father-in-law, my daughter-in-law and Ting'er really didn't know about this matter in advance." Looking up and glancing at Pei Heming's gloomy and serious face, Chen said truthfully: "Last summer, the news that the girl of the Xia family ran away from marriage was widely known, and the daughter-in-law really thought that the fifth son of the Lu family had no more marriage contract, so this was ...... That's ......"

"That's why I have a lot to do with Mrs. Xu, isn't it?" Pei Heming, who already knew about his daughter-in-law and granddaughter's dealings with the Lu family in recent months, said the unfinished words on behalf of his daughter-in-law: "Since the incident of the Xia family's girl running away from marriage last year, your mind of marrying Ting'er to Lu Tingxuan has become lively again, so in recent months, you have revealed that you want to marry Mrs. Xu, and then you have become a laughing stock now, right?" ”

"Father-in-law, my daughter-in-law was deceived by the Xu family, and I really didn't mean to cause these bad things! After all, the fifth son of Lu is very outstanding, and the daughter-in-law wants to find an excellent future husband for Ting'er, which is not wrong! ”

"I can't know people clearly, and I have no eyes." Faced with his daughter-in-law's weak defense, Pei Heming, who knew that it was useless to pursue the past for the sake of the present, sighed and turned the topic to how to deal with the queen mother's marriage. "The marriage given by the Queen Mother will be invalidated sooner or later, so ah, you better put away all those thoughts of marrying the Dingguo Mansion as soon as possible!"

"Grandfather, what do you mean by that?" Pei Huanting, who has been silent since she stepped into the study, was completely stunned after hearing that she had paid so much for this marriage, but she still couldn't get Lu Shaoyun's explanation. (To be continued.) )
