The small towel paid tribute by the Guo family was praised by all the women in the harem, from the queen mother to the concubines, and the emperor was even more happy.

At this time, Governor Gao handed over the commendation for the dumbness.

He said that the Guo family's dedication to the loom is beneficial in the present generation, and should be rewarded and set an example for the people; In addition, Guo Qingmu was wrongfully murdered before, and now he has been wronged, he should also be commended to appease the people, so as to show the justice of the court; The third is that Guo Qingmu has been innovating in brocade weaving and cotton spinning, and has never hidden his smuggling, which should be used to educate the people.

This piece of music hit the emperor's heart, and Zhu Biyu approved the performance.

There was opposition among the courtiers, however:

Once the emperor has a mouthful, it is difficult to change.

Second, there are more people in favor of it, and it cannot be reversed.

Third, they couldn't find a reason for their opposition, and they only wanted to delay it.

Imagine how many brocade merchants there are in the world, who can be as selfless as the Guo family? Commending the merits of the Guo family is of greater significance than commending filial sons and women, because the former is for the people of the world and does great righteousness. This is the most appropriate way to educate the people, but no one has thought of it before. And Guo Qingmu didn't create a new thing by chance, so she rushed to this new little towel, and she should be encouraged to continue to contribute to the country and the people.

Under the rule of the governor of Gao, there was such a righteous woman, who was framed before, and was not killed because of his fair treatment, and now he is asking for merit and commendation, and the emperor praised him for "being good at observing public opinion, governing well", and specially allowed him to enter Beijing at the end of the year.

The tall young master was naturally very happy after hearing this.

There are many kinds of memorial arches, and the merit memorial arches of the Guo family are the emperor's personal approval of the imperial system. It is the highest glory, built by the treasury of silver.

On the day of the decree, the senior member of the Qin mission rushed to Huzhou with the relevant people of the Ministry of Industry.

※

Xie family. The second floor of the Moon Viewing Building.

After Xie Yinyue heard the news that she was dumb and sealed, she didn't say anything for a long time.

Suddenly, I felt a little breathless.

"Rest and go, all of you." She said to Jinxiu and others.

Jinxiu and Li Hongjube glanced at each other, and gently retreated with the people, covering the door.

Xie Yinyue exhaled slowly and covered her chest with one hand.

It's already the second watch, and the hanging lanterns, erected chanlights, and new-style glass lotus lanterns are reflected in the embroidery room suites inside and outside. Elegant and clean.

She walked over softly and blew out all the chanlights.

and went to extinguish the glass lotus lamp.

Outside the sliding door, it went dark.

She walked to the window and looked at the crescent moon in the sky through the diamond-shaped window lattice.

"Guo Qingmu was given the title of 'Weaver Girl'. The emperor personally approved the imperial merit archway, was this matter fought for by the Guo family, or was it promoted by Fang Chu? ”

For no reason, she just thought of Fang Chu.

He left Xiazhao in those days. It should be going to Huzhou Capital City.

There's a reason for her speculation. Because Fang Chu Han Xiyi and the eldest son of Governor Gao were quite in agreement, if he suggested this matter in front of the tall young master, it would make sense; On the contrary, neither the Guo family nor the Shen family have the qualifications to move the governor of Gao, and it is difficult to say whether they can think of this; Cai Ming had this ability, but he went back to Qingshan Academy at that time, and did not go to Fucheng.

Xie Yinyue thought it in her heart. The jury has been reached.

She turned around and took the guqin from the wall. Put it on the table.

Sit down, close your eyes, and try to meditate.

However, after closing her eyes, the feeling became clearer: a wave of anger and injustice was like a storm crashing on the shore, wantonly hitting her heart, and her hands could not move, and she could not contain the killing intent!

Originally, even if he quit his family, he would never want to marry Guo Qingdu.

Now, is Guo Qingdumb going to get out?

Is he going to marry her?

Will she marry him?

No, they must not be allowed to come together!

Xie Yinyue gathered all the strength of her body in her fingers to support her in the battle.

She remembered the first time she saw the country girl: Xie Guo's two families competed for Jiang Minghui, and when the tension was up, the country girl said: "Wait until your fiancé is robbed before saying this!" "What happened to her at that time? It's like saying, "No one wants to see anything like that." If you are really unfortunate enough to meet it, you can only face it. What is the use of avoidance? ”

She really snatched it!

She really snatched it!

Xie Yinyue hooked the strings violently, almost snapping, and people were worried that her fingers would be cut, but the strings were not broken, and her fingers were not cut, and she was still playing skillfully.

Recalling again: She remembered that when the Guo family left the Xie family, Guo Dayou pointed to everyone present and shouted, "You bad people are married, you will be punished!" You will all be punished! ”

Retribution?

The retribution suffered by the Xie family is enough!

Now it's the Guo family's turn!

This night, the piano sounded in the moon tower all night.

Xie Mingli stood in front of the study window and listened quietly.

He was also aroused by his daughter's warlike spirit.

※

Xia Weaving, who also got the news, was happy at first, and then worried.

Such a thing as commending merit should be prepared by the local parent official first, submitted to the state government officials, and then submitted to the imperial court, but Governor Gao actually personally proposed it, and he didn't inform him - Guo Qingmu is a person in the weaving industry, how can he not know that he is a weaving official?

The reason stated by Governor Gao in the recital was: because Zhou County Commander was convicted, the post of Xiazhao County Commander was temporarily vacant, and the new county order had not yet arrived when he played the petition, so he acted on his behalf. This is not a good reason. There is no county order, and there is still the main book, otherwise there is the Jingtai prefect above. The worst is to tell him about this parent official of the Yamen of the Jin Bureau!

When he got the news, the decree had already been given, and it was too late to say anything.

He was very regretful, thinking that if this holy decree came back a month later, Guo Qingmu had already entered the Xia family at that time, it was really the best of both worlds, but now he was afraid that Guo Ni didn't know each other and something would happen.

He discussed it with Bao Changshi and others.

Bao Changshi said: "It's just a commendation, a merit archway, and it's not an official." He dared to be disrespectful to adults, unless he didn't do it in the future. Moreover, the lower official said something that he didn't like: Miss Guo has already retired twice, and she will retire again, but she will still retire as a parent official like an adult, and a young talent like the eldest young master, who will dare to marry her in the future? There is even more: the matter of retiring from relatives is small. Not long ago, Fang Xie and the two families quit their relatives, and there were rumors that Miss Guo was involved, and now she has also withdrawn. Isn't that the answer to the rumors? The Guo family still wants to be famous! ”

Xia Weaving felt justified after hearing this.

Bao Changshi and others congratulated him again, even if his son took a concubine, it was such an extraordinary, it was a sign of the prosperity of the Xia family, Xia Weaving was happy and humble, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

Finally, he couldn't help but call Guo Daquan to beat him verbally.

Guo Daquan only didn't know, and thanked him for his cultivation in and out of words.

Xia Weaving was relieved when he heard it.

Chin sent to the day. Qing Mu also rushed back to the city from the countryside to receive the order and listen to the seal.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, Lord Qincha Wang, who was ordered to inspect the people's situation in Jiangnan and other places, and the governor of Huzhou Gao and the prefect of Jingtai went to the Guo family in Huaishu Lane, Huaihu Street, Tianhu South Street, to pass on the decree and commend them.

Also present were officials of the Yamen of the Jin Bureau, large and small, and the newly appointed Guan County Commander.

The entire Xiazhao City was boiling, and Huaishu Lane was even more crowded.

The Guo family had an experience of receiving orders. This time, I had made sufficient preparations: I prepared incense cases and bathed and changed clothes, and as soon as the Qin mission arrived, Guo Shouye led the family to kneel down to receive the order.

First of all, she was given the title of "Weaver Girl" and was given a sealed document.

Then it is the holy decree of the imperial merit arch of the Guo family. The head of the family, Guo Shouye, took over the order.

After Guo Shouye received the order to thank him. But he couldn't stand on the ground, and kowtowed hard to Lord Wang.

Xia Weaving "chuckled" in his heart, and shouted: "Guo Shouye, what are you doing?" ”

Guo Shouye raised his head, his forehead was already covered with blood, and cried: "I beg Lord Qincha to make decisions for the small people!" He only shouted this sentence, and then knocked hard, and died, and blood splattered out.

The Wu family and Guo Daquan brothers also kowtowed together and begged Lord Qincha to call the shots.

Xia Weaving and Bao Changshi both panicked. I hated it so much in my heart.

Today's action is dumb I know, but I don't know that my dad started in such a drastic way. How could she let his old man work hard for her!

She first said to Guo Shouye: "Dad, don't be like this, let your daughter say it!" ”

While kneeling forward, he took two steps forward, and turned his back to face Lord Wang: "My lord, the people don't want to be a concubine for Xia Weaving's son, please be the master of the people!" If the people's daughter's hard work comes to such an end, the people's girl will not dare to weave in the future. The folk girl is willing to exchange this merit for marrying independently. ”

Xia Weaving saw her say it directly, and her face was shocked.

Lord Wang's face sank and looked at Xia Weaving, "Lord Xia, what's going on?" ”

When he was in the capital of Huzhou, he heard Governor Gao talk about the situation, and when he saw that the Guo family was really in trouble, and in front of many officials and people, how could he not deal with it!

Xia Weaving wiped a cold sweat and stepped forward and replied: "Back to my lord, I don't know what's going on." This family affair was originally agreed to by the Guo family personally, and even the dowry was accepted, but now I regret it. ”

The implication is that the Guo family felt that they were worth too much after being sealed, so they regretted it.

Dumb said: "You lie! It was you who asked someone to seal the Guo family's workshop and forced us to agree. ”

Lord Wang asked Xia Weaving, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Xia Weaving hurriedly said: "This is indeed the case." It was Bao Changshi who took people to seal it, and the lower officials didn't know about it. It is disrespectful to say that the Guo family has distributed the new products to relatives and friends without authorization, not for family affairs......"

Qing dumb interrupted him and said, "Then why don't you keep sealing it?" Why did I promise to be a concubine for my son, but the lord revoked the seal? ”

When Xia Weaving spoke, Bao Changshi echoed again and again, "Yes, yes, yes!" Yes, yes, yes! Ran Xia Weaving was robbed of the right to speak by the dumb, and his echo became echoed and dumb.

Xia Weaving was uncomfortable with being dumb, and Bao Changshi was still adding to the chaos, angry and anxious.

He said: "Miss Guo, this official has a good intention, if you are not grateful, how can you bite back?" The official heard that Bao Changshi had sealed the Guo family's workshop, and after asking the reason, he learned that the Guo family was giving away the towel with weaving waste, so he was ordered to withdraw the seal. How can you say that this official uses this to force you? ”

This Guo family is really bold, do you understand the rules?

Even if you sue, you have to wait until you welcome the Qin messenger into the door to sue him, so as to save some face for him.

sued in front of so many people, is this going to tear his face with him?

Could it be that they will not be mixed up in the sunset in the future?

Don't do the textile business anymore?

He didn't want to think about it: no matter what way he sued, as long as the Guo family retired today, he would tear his face with the Xia family, and he would not let go of others, what else did they care!

Qingmu bluntly revealed that Bao Changshi was threatening the Guo family, if she didn't agree to be a concubine to the Xia family, the workshop would be sealed forever, and she also said that Xia Liuxing threatened her.

Bao Changshi felt bad, and hurriedly wanted to distinguish it.

But I heard Lord Wang ask in a deep voice: "So, Miss Guo is unwilling to be a concubine for Young Master Xia?" ”

Qing Du shook his head resolutely and said, "I don't want to!" The folk girl never agreed. It's all forced by the Xia family. ”

Xia Weaving said: "Miss Guo can't talk nonsense! The eldest son of this official is not a greedy and lustful person, and his character and knowledge are also first-class, I don't know how many women want to throw themselves into their arms but can't, if they don't see you and count their duties, just because you have withdrawn twice, how can you fall in love with you? ”

Bao Changshi hurriedly said: "Miss Guo, could it be that the rumor is true?" ”

This is a threat to be dumb, and if she insists, she will say that she and Fang Chu have a personal relationship.

Qing was too lazy to argue with them, and said loudly: "The folk girl knows that she is not worthy of Young Master Xia, so now I will ask Lord Xia to withdraw from this family." He turned to Bao Changshi and said, "Rumors stop at the wise!" The adults are officials, so it's really chilling to say that the people are girls! ”

Guo Shouye cried "wronged", and Guo Daquan also shouted wronged.

Lord Qincha didn't ask them, they didn't dare to interject, but they saw that Xia Weaving and Bao Changshi were forced to be dumb, and they were dumb and couldn't speak, so they had to shout to cheer for her, and knocked their heads loud.

The rest, such as Wu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, didn't dare to say anything, but just wiped their tears.

There's no place for them to talk here, and it's only worse to make a fuss.

Bao Changshi was just about to open his mouth, but Lord Wang shouted: "Shut up!" "Shut up.

Lord Wang majestically glanced at everyone at the scene, and finally his eyes fell on Xia Weaving, and said: "Lord Xia, marriage is full of consensual thinking, since Miss Guo is unwilling to be a concubine for Ling Lang, how can you rely on your power to force her?" Moreover, Miss Guo is the 'Weaver Girl' of the emperor's imperial seal, and it seems inappropriate to be a concubine for Ling Lang. Ling Lang has outstanding character and learning, noble family background, and his wife and concubine should choose another beauty. ”

He brought out the emperor to press Xia Weaving, and the warning was obvious.

He also reprimanded Bao Changshi and said: "As an official, how can you abuse your power? I'll write it down for the time being, and I'll come back and interrogate you. If you really use this matter to persecute Guo Zhinu, you will not be spared! ”

He probably saw that Xia Weaving wanted to push it clean and asked Bao Changshi to be a scapegoat.

He asked himself if he couldn't ask Xia Weaving about the sin of this matter, so he simply pushed the boat down the river and cleaned up Bao Changshi.

Bao Changshi's face changed suddenly, and he stepped aside tremblingly, not daring to speak again.

Lord Wang said to Guo Shouye and Qinghu: "You wait to get up first." Let's return the dowry to the Xia family. In the future, Miss Guo will make her own decisions about her marriage. Whoever dares to force each other, this official will explain to Governor Gao to advocate for you. ”

Governor Gao hurriedly smiled and said, "I respectfully obey the orders of Lord Qincha!" ”

Guo Shouye's father and son were overjoyed, kowtowed again to thank him, and thanked Governor Gao.

When I got up, there were two blood marks on my forehead, hanging on my cheeks, which was very terrifying.

When Lord Wang saw it, he hurriedly asked him to go to the medicine to bandage.

Where did Guo Shouye dare to go, he only said that he was rough and thick-skinned, and he was not in the way.

Qing Du glanced at the little sister on the side, and she hurriedly went back to the house to get the wound medicine.

The Guo family was happy, Xia Weaving felt very uncomfortable, and secretly wanted to redeem it, otherwise would he be embarrassed in public and suffer this loss?

Suddenly, I had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

He stepped forward and said, "Lord Yuqincha, this matter is indeed what the Guo family agreed to before. Since the adult said that the Weaver Girl was wronged by being a concubine, the lower official made the decision and hired Miss Guo as the dog's wife. So you have the best of both worlds. ”

Hmph, Guo Qingmu dares to do this to him, and still wants to escape from the palm of his hand?

When you enter the Xia family, you feel good!

Friends, the update is late again, it seems to be getting late. I'm sorry! (*^__^*) (To be continued......)
