Chapter 46 The prefect forcibly marries his daughter, long live the new village
Governor Chen took his daughter's hand and said to Yu Xiang: "Congwen, the little girl volunteered to come to Xincun to teach and educate people, and she used a fake name, so she hopes to take care of her." β
Yu Xiang hurriedly said: "How dare you, because I don't know Miss Chen's identity, if there is any neglect, please Haihan." β
The red lady and Miss Xu San heard clearly on the side, many of the mysteries in their hearts were now solved, and both of them were surprised, although they had long guessed that Miss Chen was unusual, but they never thought that she was the daughter of the prefect.
Governor Chen said: "Siyi, go and say hello to the lieutenant and your two good friends, I will use my real name in the future, I don't want Chen Zhenhao's daughter to live incognito." β
The people present listened to the prefect's tone, although they were very polite, obviously there was something in the words, and the domineering leakage in the words seemed to be saying: Chen Siyi can't be seen as an ordinary person in the future, and he, a court official, will support her!
Chen Siyi politely said to everyone: "My name is Chen Siyi, if there is anything wrong with things in the future, please also ask Brother Chen, Sister Matchmaker, and Third Miss to take care of me!" β
"Miss Siyi is beautiful and teaches well, the children here like you very much, I thank you for the children in the new village." Yu Xiang said.
The red lady and Miss Xu San also warmly said a few polite words to Chen Siyi, everyone had nothing to say, the whole scene was embarrassing, the red lady and Miss Xu San saw this, so they said goodbye and returned to Yonghe Hall, and Chen Zhifu also returned to Juxian Hall with his daughter.
Back in the room, Governor Chen was not polite, and asked his daughter directly: "What do you think of Yu Xiang?" β
Chen Siyi replied shyly, blushing and said: "He is the dragon among people, and he is the person his daughter is looking for, and his daughter will not marry unless he does." β
Governor Chen sighed and said, "What is the relationship between Mu Hongniang and Yu Xiang?" How did I hear Miss Mu shouting Yu Xianggong? β
Chen Siyi said with a worried face: "Sister Hongniang has experienced a lot of things with him, and has formed a friendship of life and death, although they have not visited the church to get married, the two of them are now commensurate with husband and wife, and everyone in the new village knows their relationship, and after a while, they will be married in the church." β
Governor Chen was puzzled: "I can't let you marry Yu Xiang as a concubine, if this is spread, what kind of system will it become, and how will I raise my head among my colleagues in the future?" β
Chen Siyi understands her father's suffering very well, people in the officialdom are very face-saving, and she doesn't know how to deal with this matter, so she just bows her head and is silent.
Governor Chen seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said: "If you force Yu Xiang and Mu Hongniang to separate, it is against common sense, for the sake of today, you can only let you and Yu Xiang get married first, so that you can become a concubine, and the matchmaker will naturally become a concubine, this is also a way to get the best of both worlds, for the father, are you willing?" β
Chen Siyi took his father's hand in surprise and said, "Thank you, father!" But immediately her expression darkened again, and said: "Usually Brother Yu is giggling, it is said that on the battlefield, he is decisive in killing and very assertive, and he will definitely not marry me first." β
Governor Chen said: "As a father, it is precisely because he values his talent as a general, and he attaches great importance to love and righteousness, so I have taken such great pains to help him, but I have a gentleman's agreement with him, and for you, I decided to use our gentleman's agreement!" β
When Chen Siyi heard this, she knew that this must have happened, but she felt very unbearable in her heart, and said sadly: "If this is the case, Sister Hongniang is only afraid that she will be sad." β
"You stupid boy, you are too kind-hearted, if you don't do this, the dragon among the people you choose will fly." Governor Chen looked at his daughter distressedly.
Chen Siyi didn't say anything more, and their father and daughter chatted until late at night.
The next day, Governor Chen said goodbye after breakfast, he took Yu Xiang with one hand and Chen Siyi with the other, walked to the gate of the new village, and said earnestly: "Congwen, from now on, Siyi will be handed over to you, she likes Xincun, likes children, likes to be a teacher, let her stay in Xincun to assist you well, you just treat her as a member of Xincun, you have to work hard." β
After speaking, Governor Chen took out a letter and said to Yu Xiang, here are some things I have to say to you, you can open it in private, and then hand the letter to Yu Xiang. patted Yu Xiang on the shoulder, strode towards the sedan chair, and got into the sedan chair.
Yu Xiang hurriedly took a burden from the matchmaker's hand, handed it to Governor Chen, and said: "This is the canned tea from Xincun, you take it back to taste it, because the quantity is limited, I can only send one can to you, a little heart." β
Governor Chen laughed and said, "Congwen, your mind has been accepted by this mansion." β
Yu Xiang gave Zhao Jiacheng, Master Sun, and the accompanying officials two taels of silver each, and said, "Please ask a few adults to take some loose silver and go back to drink tea." β
After a few people were polite, they took the money and carried the sedan chair away.
After sending away Governor Chen's mansion, Yu Xiang looked at Chen Siyi and joked: "What, does Miss Chen still be a teacher for the children in Xincun?" β
Chen Siyi said: "Of course, if I am not a teacher, what else will I do, I like to teach children to teach literacy." β
Yu Xiang laughed: "Okay, the children are waiting for you, Teacher Chen, you go to class!" β
Chen Siyi walked towards the school with a smile, just walked a few steps, looked back at Yu Xiang again, smiled, charming, pure and refined, a stunning classical and pure beauty, Yu Xiang was stunned.
The red lady stood aside, looking at Yu Xiang in a daze, and said angrily: "What? Xianggong was also fascinated by Miss Chen? β
Only then did Yu Xiang turn around and say, "Oh, I'm distracted, let's go, go back." β
The red lady said that she still wanted to see the training situation, so she went to the training ground, Yu Xiang returned to the room, closed the door, and opened the envelope.
I didn't look at it, but when I saw it, I was stunned, this letter was like a thunderbolt from the sky, so that Yu Xiang didn't know what to do......
After reading the letter, Yu Xiang lit a fire and burned the letter, which was a secret letter and an agreement between them.
Yu Xiang paced around the room, never leaving the room for a day, he had never been so sad. Caught in a dilemma, he really didn't know what to do.
Besides, in the imperial city, Wang Chengen was very happy with a smile on his face, he had just come out of the imperial study, his face was full of spring breeze, and he was very happy.
It turned out that after going to the morning court today, Chongzhen called him to the imperial study and asked about Dongshuanghe Town.
Chongzhen said: "I haven't heard anything from you about Henan for some time. β
Wang Chengen hurriedly took out a fold from his sleeve, handed it over, and said, "The minister has a fold here, and he is about to play the saint." β
Chongzhen took the fold, flipped it a few times and said, "I'm tired of reading the fold, so you can dictate the content of the fold." β
Wang Chengen said: "Wechen obeys the order", he paused and continued: "Wechen got the news, Yu Xiang, Zhangjiaxin Village, Dongshuanghe Town, Xinyang Prefecture, Henanββ"
Chongzhen interrupted impatiently: "Let's just talk about Yu Xiang in the future, I don't need that long preface, it sounds tiring." β
Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "Obey the order! β
He cleared his throat and continued: "Yu Xiang went to Dongshuanghe Town for a meeting, and was intercepted and killed by the top killers of the underworld in the rivers and lakes on the way to the village. β
Chongzhen asked curiously: "What kind of character is this master of the underworld?" β
Wang Chengen said: "It is said that there are currently five major killers in the underworld of the rivers and lakes, and these five killers are the blind god and demon Liu Shiying, the cold-blooded Saburo Yuwen Jian, the black rakshasa Zhang Yufeng, the king of Jiangnan Gaitian, and the shadowless vampire Wei Lengshuang, these people are all famous characters on the green forest road. β
At this moment, a crisp girl's voice sounded at the door: "Father, is there news from the great hero Yu Xiang." β
As she spoke, a girl entered the imperial study.
Emperor Chongzhen immediately showed a rare smile on his face, his favorite daughter Princess Zhu Yujiao of Changping came, this Princess Changping is particularly beautiful, carved in pink and jade, like a porcelain doll. Smart and clever, Emperor Chongzhen is very fond of her.
Wang Chengen hurriedly smiled at the princess and said, "Princess, the minister has asked the princess to say goodbye." β
Princess Changping said: "Don't be polite." She said to Chongzhen: "Father, my daughter also has to listen to Yu Xiang's affairs." β
Chongzhen said: "This is okay. He said to Wang Chengen: "Go on." β
Wang Chengen continued: "It is said that no one has ever seen her true face of the blind god and demon Liu Shiying, some people say that he is blind, some people say that she is not blind, but they are all legends, and no one has seen her true face. β
Princess Changping said: "Is there really such a person in the world? β
Wang Chengen said: "Of course, it is said that this person is strong in martial arts, extremely good at disguise, and is usually no different from ordinary people, but as long as she makes a move, almost no one survives the murdered target." β
Chongzhen's face showed nervousness, although he was the lord of a country, his expression would not be easily noticed, but he could not escape Wang Chengen's eyes.
Wang Chengen continued: "Just one blinded god and demon is difficult enough to deal with, and there are two top killers of cold-blooded Saburo Yuwen Sword and Black Rakshasa Zhang Yufeng to help, among the five major killers of the underworld, the top three intercepted and killed Yu Xiang together. Everyone thought that Yu Xiang would die this time. β
Princess Changping nervously clenched her little fists and asked, "What happened later?" β
Wang Chengen also sold Guan Zi, and then said: "This is not counting, the notorious Black Tiger Gang on the rivers and lakes also led more than 100 elite people in the gang to ambush Yu Xiang together with these three top killers. β
Chongzhen asked, "Did this Yu Xiang wipe them all out?" β
Wang Chengen said: "The Holy Lord said very much, Yu Xiang not only killed these three underworld killers, but also completely exterminated the Black Tiger Gang and cut off the head of the leader of the Black Tiger Gang. β
So, Wang Chengen added fuel and vinegar, and described the process of Yu Xiang killing these people vividly.
Princess Changping listened intently.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen also nodded slightly. After listening to Wang Chengen's explanation, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Yu Xiang was able to defeat the Black Tiger Gang, was it the Qi family's army Mandarin Duck Formation that exerted its might?" β
Wang Chengen said: "It's true, it is indeed the Mandarin Duck Array that has played a huge role. β
Chongzhen said: "This Yu Xiang is really not simple, Wen Tao is strategic, leading troops to fight, everything is in the line, it seems that he is a rare talent in my Ming Dynasty." β
Wang Chengen said: "The saint said very much, the minister has sent the four brothers of Jinyi Wei Liu Xiangzhong into the new village, as long as there is a new movement in the new village, I will quickly report to Long live." β
"I also heard that this Yu Xiang called on poor households to plant sweet potatoes and destroy my Ming system, yes or no?" Chongzhen asked?
Wang Chengen was taken aback, and felt very strange, it was difficult for Chongzhen to send another person to inquire about the news? This is a signal that he is not at ease with himself, Wang Chengen hurriedly kowtowed and asked for sin: "Weichen is not careful, and it is ominous to investigate, please long live the crime!" β
"Aiqing, what a crime, get up. Tell me what this sweet potato is all about? Chongzhen asked.
Wang Chengen said: "This Yu Xiang is strange, he not only ordered all the growers in the new village to plant sweet potatoes, but also forced the poor households to plant, this kind of behavior is incomprehensible, because if the poor households do not harvest sweet potatoes, then the new village and the farmers will have to starve, and they will have to bear the crime of killing their heads." This sweet potato has never been planted in the local area, the rich family was reluctant to plant it at first, and when they were willing to plant it later, there were no potato seedlings, and the rich family felt that he favored the poor family, and many local squires disagreed. β
Chongzhen nodded, and said: "This Yu Xiang seems to have no rules, but the results are often unexpected, I am very interested in the construction of his new village, now, the Manchu Qing Dynasty invaded the territory, the Japanese invaded, the thieves and civil strife, the people are panicked, this new village has its own way, I want to take the construction of the new village as an example, show the world, in order to appease the people, you continue to pay attention to the new village, everything must be done in secret, this Yu Xiang, everything is unconventional, the court has ministers noticed them, I am afraid that there will be more gossip in the future, to put pressure on me, You must report the latest situation of the new village to me, so that I can make the right judgment, I believe that you will not be disappointed, you can do things, I can rest assured! β
Wang Chengen was overjoyed when he heard Chongzhen, who had always been calm and heavy, kowtow and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" β
At this time, Princess Changping said: "This Yu Xiang not only wiped out those killers, but also fought the underworld and eliminated the evil, leveled the local underworld forces, and returned the local clean, which is really a great hero." β
Wang Chengen said: "That's true, he was injured in the arm in this battle, and it is said that when the wound was stitched up with a needle, he didn't say a word. β
Chongzhen and Princess Changping were very surprised, and Yu Xiang was also concerned with the style of the public. Yu Xiang has become a great hero in the young heart of Princess Changping.
Chongzhen asked, "What was the result of letting Governor Chen's mansion inspect the village last time?" β
Wang Chengen hurriedly replied: "The envoy has not returned yet, and it is estimated that there will be a letter in the near future." β
Chongzhen was very satisfied, waved his hand and said, "Go down, you have worked hard." β
Wang Chengen retired with joy in his heart. I couldn't help but smile on my face.
Princess Changping was still pestering Chongzhen to ask about Yu Xiang, Chongzhen handed her a book of folds left by Wang Chengen and said: "I remember here in more detail, you can read it." β
Princess Changping happily took the song and left.
Chongzhen sat in front of the bookcase and looked through a recital, which listed Yu Xiang's crimes of planting sweet potatoes and destroying the system, impeaching the prefect Chen Zhenhao for not reporting it and wantonly conniving, and requesting that the prefect Chen Zhenhao and Yu Xiang be punished.
After reading the recital, Chongzhen angrily slammed on the table, with a chilling murder in his eyes. Can you give it to you?1(
