Chapter Forty-Four: The Soaring Worth of the County Lord

That day, after Jiang Jingrou sent someone to spread the rumors, Tong Qingyan returned to Tong's Mansion to rest, and was called to Songhua Garden by the old lady.

The population of Tongfu is simple, and the faces of several people as elders are not very good, and such rumors come out, which is a big blow to the reputation of Tongfu.

The old lady and Tong Huaiyuan knew the inside story, but Tong Huaishan and his wife didn't know.

Zhou looked at Tong Qingyan who was standing there, and twisted his eyebrows, if there were such rumors before, the old lady would probably have been punished for copying the scriptures, but now that she has the title of county lord, even if she is an old lady, I am afraid she will not be able to reprimand easily.

Tong Qingyan knew that her grandmother, who was now sitting in the top position, had a calm face and was in a dilemma in her heart.

Old Madam Tong looked at her eldest son with a calm expression, knowing that this wicked person was herself again today, so she cleared her throat and reprimanded Tong Qingyan with her lips.

"Get on your knees."

Tong Qingyan regretted a little that she should have put on her knee pads before coming to Songhua Garden just now, and at this moment she knelt down resignedly, bowing her head and listening to the old lady's teachings.

"Now that you are the lord of the county, I can't punish you on reason, but in terms of courtesy, we are still your elders, you are still the daughter of the Tong family, and now you are acting inappropriately outside, and you should be punished for affecting the reputation of the family, can you be convinced?"

"The granddaughter pleaded guilty."

Tong Huaishan looked at the eldest brother and sister-in-law who were as immobile as a mountain, and then looked at his mother, who had always been the same, hesitated, and still pleaded.

"Mother, Ann is still young, and I didn't ask about the cause and effect of this matter, maybe... Perhaps ......"

Tong Huaishan was stared at by Mrs. Tong, and he probably couldn't come out, and Zhou was anxious to pinch his master, but he didn't dare.

"Since you know your mistake, this time you made a first mistake, kneel on the three pillars of incense."

The old lady couldn't do it this time if she wanted to show favoritism, so she saw Tong Qingyan kneeling on the green brick floor so straight, although there was a charcoal basin in the house, the cold on the brick floor was always inevitable.

Glancing at Zhou, the old lady simply closed her eyes, lest she couldn't help but slap her face for a while, in order to calm the hearts of the people in the house, An Yatou will have to suffer a little this time.

Tong Qingyan knew that her grandmother couldn't be too biased in the big house, and she was ready to suffer this time, but she didn't expect that after kneeling for a pillar of incense, things took a dramatic turn.

After Feicui concisely informed the masters in the main hall of the news of the new version, he lowered his head to avoid Zhou's gaze and quietly squeezed his eyes at Tong Qingyan.

It turned out that Song Zhan went out of the imperial study with his front foot, and Emperor Jiakang ordered someone to spread Song Zhan's proposal for marriage, and for a while, the upper echelons of the capital held emergency meetings.

Jiang Jingrou was called to the study by her father, and was trained to be bloody, and immediately began to cry.

"Impossible, this can't be! His Royal Highness...... How could His Royal Highness the Prince look at such a dirt bun, a woman from a small family from the south, her mother's family was still a lowly merchant, why should she ......?"

All the unwillingness was decisively interrupted by a slap from Qingguo Gong, Jiang Jingrou unbelievably covered half of her slaped face, looked at her father who was glaring angrily, and forgot to speak for a while.

Although the Duke of Qingguo has the name of the grandfather of the country, he is not even worthy of Song Zhan, the only prince of the royal family with a different surname in the Great Qi Dynasty.

If this Great Qi Dynasty is really discussed, it was originally the world of the Song family, and it was the ancestor of the Song family who gave up the throne to the ancestor of the Yang family, who was like a brother at that time.

Emperor Taizu of the Great Qi Dynasty, that is, the ancestor of the Yang family on the day he ascended the throne, said to the world on the high platform: the Yang and Song families depend on each other, and if the descendants of the Yang family are embarrassed, the Song family can take back the throne of the Great Qi Dynasty at any time.

The Great Qi Dynasty has gone through four generations and is now in the hands of Emperor Jiakang, the Huai Wangfu is still standing, although the current Huai King is not doing his job, but His Royal Highness the Prince is not bad.

As an emperor, is it uncomfortable to have such a sword hanging over your head all the time? It must be uncomfortable, but there is no way, if the Huai Wangfu is gone, it will be tantamount to disobeying Taizu, compared to not being buried in the emperor's mausoleum after death, and enduring this spur sword alive, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be done.

Emperor Jiakang is also a human being, and there are times when he wants to be lazy, but as long as he slacks off, a picture will appear in his mind, Emperor Taizu came out of the portrait, pointed to his nose and told him to get off the emperor's throne and give way to King Huai.

Every time I think of this picture, Jia Kangdi will be a spirit, and in the face of the unfinished recital, he will continue to use strong tea to play hard, but under such a strong pressure, he also has infinite motivation, with the grand scene of the four seas rising and leveling all directions, and the reproduction of the royal family is also very good.

The high yield of the seven princes and nine princesses is better than any of the previous emperors of the Yang family, except for the third princess who died early and the eighth princess who died of illness, there are still fourteen children alive today, and Emperor Jiakang feels extremely proud every time he thinks of this.

The Jiang family is just a family of six-grade petty officials, and fortunately there was a favored concubine who was named the prince of the country by Po Geen.

Now Jiang Guifei's brother inherits the title of Duke of Guo, and naturally hopes that Duke Qingguo can also stand like Huai Wangfu, but helplessly, the children in the clan are content to enjoy the shade of the family, and none of them are motivated, even if it is his own son, Jiang Zheng, the current son of the Duke of Guogong, the things in the backyard are also a mess, and even affected the errand several times.

Qing Guogong looked at the doted on his own daughter, and sighed helplessly.

"Dad slapped you in the face, just to remember what to say and what not to say! No matter what the identity of the county lord of Yanyang was in the past, now she is the county lord! Even if the concubine Niangniang is no longer close to her, this is the county lord of the emperor's decree, unless the emperor takes back her fate, you can never treat her as an ordinary official lady again. ”

"Then let my aunt ask the emperor to take back her will, the emperor has always listened to her aunt's words, and this time she was named the county lord, isn't it my aunt's intention......"

Seeing that another slap was about to be swung in her face, Jiang Jingrou suddenly shut up and took a big step back at the same time, narrowly avoiding it.

Qing Guogong felt a faint pain in his temples, looked at Jiang Jingrou with a happy face, and raised his trembling finger to point at her.

"Rebel girl! Listen to what you say! If you don't think you'll have a long life, I'll have someone give you three feet of white silk now! How difficult it is for your aunt to be in the palace to get to where she is now, you dare to say such a headless thing, you... You go back to copy the scriptures for me, and I will not be allowed to leave the hospital until Chinese New Year's Eve!" ”

"Daddy......"

"Get out!"

The farce in the study of the Qingguo Mansion is not known to outsiders, and other families also have a new level of understanding of this Yanyang County Lord.

Anyone who knows the inside story knows that this county lord is just a tool for the concubine to heal his wounds, to say how noble and extraordinary it is, but there is no one, and he was rectified by the queen mother before he entered the palace, although it didn't seem to hurt anything, but the queen mother's attitude has been put out, and this county lord has nothing to fear.

But now that the news of King Huai's initiative to marry is released, the value of the county lord of Yanyang has risen more than a little, if he really becomes the princess of King Huai, it will be no less honorable than the existence of today's queen.

Today's King Huai and Princess Huai are low-key and useless, and everyone's attitude towards these two people is not as respectful as Song Zhanlai, once Song Zhan becomes the new King of Huai, the scene of King Huai's Mansion will not be what it is now, if Tong Qingyan is really taken by Song Zhan and married back......

For a while, Tong Qingyan became the object of secret jealousy of countless nobles in Beijing, and the victim himself slammed the table angrily in Hanlian Garden, resulting in not only knee pain, but also hand pain......
