Section 032 County Lord

Dong Ying took the old lady's hand, and there was a slight sweat in her palm.

A terror of uncertainty ran through her limbs, suffocating her breath and a thin sweat on her forehead.

In a society governed by man, those in power are full of their word, and human life is like ants, unable to refute or fight, and can only pin their fate on luck, no matter how hard they try, in the end it may all be empty.

Dong Yu followed the old lady, step by step through the hall, stepped out of the hanging flower door, as if stepping on the tip of a knife. The trees on both sides were covered with thick frost, and in the early morning sunlight they were as brilliant as silver, and the scorching glow flowed. Trembling in the breeze, I don't know if it's the branches, or the heart of Dongyi.

The old lady squeezed her hand heavily, causing her pain, came back to her senses, and raised her eyes to see her grandmother's slightly cloudy but sharp eyes: "Sister Yao, don't be afraid! ”

Dong Ying suddenly burst into tears, she muttered to her grandmother, her voice was choked, and she lowered her voice: "Grandmother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the Guifei Niangniang don't like me......"

The women in charge of the six palaces don't like Dongyu, if she enters the palace, the future can be imagined.

The old lady smiled a little in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother doesn't like you, so you don't have to be afraid!" ”

The Queen Mother doesn't like her, so she won't let her enter the palace!

In a word, as if the clouds were lifted to see the bright moon, Dongyu Feifei's heart was in a trance and shone into a little bright sun, and his heart was seven or eight points lighter, but he was still not at ease, but he didn't dare to say more.

There was an incense case in the outer courtyard, and Old Marquis Xue led everyone to kneel, and Dongyu knelt at the back. She was wearing an official green embroidered butterfly spring pattern pleated Ruyi Xiang skirt, with knee pants inside, but kneeling, the cold was still soaking through the thick dress, seeping into the skin, and there was a biting cold.

The palms of his hands were on the ground, and his long and white fingers stretched out, and their fingertips were red from the cold.

The eunuch's feminine voice rang in his ears: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: I heard that the granddaughter of Xue Zhenxian, the marquis of Zhenxian, Xue Dongyi, is quiet and gentle, Tianjia Shushun, graceful and quiet, sensitive and sensitive, and the queen mother and I bow very happily when I hear it, so I am named the lord of Roujia, the same prince and daughter, such as my sister." Eight hundred hectares of fertile land and four hundred taels of gold. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin this. ”

The eunuch's voice fell, and the courtyard was silent.

Dong Yu finally stopped trembling, got up respectfully, bypassed Old Marquis Xue, stepped forward to receive the order, raised it above his head, and respectfully thanked the Lord for his grace.

There is no trace of timidity and fear just now.

Her heart finally settled.

It is not an edict to enter the palace.

Shizi Ye Xue Ziyu and Mrs. Shizi looked at each other. The old lady's expression was slightly restrained, and the old marquis Xue had already gotten up, greeted the eunuch, and asked the prince to personally reward him with fifty taels of silver and send him out of the gate.

The eunuch said happily that the Marquis of Zhenxian was polite, and went with the prince with a smile.

In the courtyard, there are the old marquis, the old lady, the prince and the Dongyi.

None of the four knew what to say first.

For no reason, it is inexplicable that Dongyu was suddenly named the county lord. Abnormal is demonic, the old lady's calm and calm eyes that have experienced the world have a rare uneasiness, and she glanced at the old marquis.

The old marquis also frowned slightly.

Seeing everyone standing, the old marquis said in a deep voice: "Go in and talk." ”

Unlike when they first came, Old Marquis Xue and Old Madam Xue were a little hurried, and Mrs. Shizi didn't dare to say more, she cautiously glanced at Dongyu, and then at Old Marquis Xue and Old Madam Xue, her face was slightly gloomy.

Although Dongyu didn't know what was going on, she knew one thing: it was really impossible for her to enter the palace! If she wanted to enter the palace, she would not suddenly be crowned the county lord. made her the lord of the county, as if she had sworn brother and sister with the emperor.

But why she was named the county lord, she didn't know.

If the Queen Mother doesn't want her to enter the palace, she won't mention her as a person, just hint to the old marquis, saying that she likes the eleventh girl Xue Dongshu, Dongyu will definitely be excluded, and there is no reason to make her the county lord, so it's too much.

Behind the illogical, there may be more problems. Judging from the thirst quenching by drinking, her biggest concern at present has been solved. Nothing terrified her more than entering the palace.

Dongyu's short-term joy couldn't be suppressed, her heart seemed to be prosperous and blooming, the green trees were luxuriant, the shadows of flowers were swaying, and her long eyes couldn't help but bend, and there was a rippling light floating.

When I returned to Rongde Pavilion, everyone in the Xue family was there, and they all asked what was going on.

Mrs. Shizi's voice was not joyful, and she narrated flatly: "Your Majesty has named Sister Yu as the lord of Roujia. ”

For a while, Rongde Pavilion was also silent, and everyone was stunned, and their eyes fell on Dong Yu's face, as if they wanted to see the reason for the matter through her bewitching face.

Dongyu quietly endured the suspicious gaze of everyone, not liking or coquettish, like a pool of water, transparent to the bottom but without half a line.

Old Marquis Xue cleared his throat: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, everyone should go to the New Year, it's rare to go out and have fun for a day." ”

All the aunts and sisters came back to their senses, and they congratulated Dongyu one after another, said goodbye, respectfully called her the lord of Roujia, and then dispersed.

Mrs. Shizi left at last, and when she saw that only Dongyu was in the house, she smiled and said that she went to arrange for people to come and go, and retired first.

Dong Ying didn't move, and looked at the old lady with a slight confusion.

The old lady called her to her side and looked at her with a smile: "Sister Yu, your father only cultivated from the Liupin Hanlin Academy, and he has no title. The emperor rewarded you like this, but I am afraid that everyone will not accept it, you must remember to be diligent and obedient in the future, and you can't let people find faults! ”

Dongyu lowered his eyes and said yes.

The old lady was very satisfied with her attitude, and her voice softened again: "Sister Yu, your grandfather is a member of the first rank of the dynasty, one of the three princes, and the marquis of Zhenxian, a hereditary first-class auxiliary general!" For so many years, the former emperor and His Majesty have rewarded the Xue family a lot, but your grandfather was afraid that the moon would be full and he would lose, so he pushed it back. A fictitious Roujia county lord who has no fiefdom, our family can afford it! ”

Dong Yu suddenly raised her eyes, looked at the old lady, and said gratefully: "Grandmother, I wrote it down!" ”

The old lady's eyes became more and more pity, and she took out a purse with a gold bottom and a green ruyi pattern from her sleeve to her, and said with a smile: "The red envelope that grandmother gave you is just for you!" ”

Dong Ying laughed, her eyes were as scorching as a star, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady, thanked the reward, and helped the orange out of the Rongde Pavilion.

Orange Hong's face couldn't hide her excitement, and as soon as she came out of Rongde Pavilion, she couldn't wait to ask Dongyu in a low voice: "Miss, the emperor rewarded you as the lord of Roujia?" ”

Dongyu nodded, there was no joy on her face, and after the excitement just passed, she began to worry about the turmoil behind her again.

Orange Hong's excitement suddenly disappeared in half, and she asked worriedly, "Isn't it good, miss, aren't you happy?" Only the prince's daughter is crowned the lord of the county! ”

"Yes, only the daughter of the prince can be crowned the lord of the county!" Dong Yu sighed, her father was not a prince, why did he suddenly crown her as the county lord.

The joy of not having to enter the palace has gradually been worn out by fear, and Dongyi's heart is a little heavy.

Orange Hong seemed to understand something, but she still didn't quite understand, and looked at Dongyu uneasily.

Dong Ying straightened his mind and said with a smile: "The emperor also gave 800 dumps of fertile land and 400 taels of gold!" ”

How still a little forced to laugh.

Orange Hong's joy also sank, and he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "That young lady has made a fortune." ”

Yes, the name of the lord of Roujia, eight hundred poured of fertile land, four hundred taels of gold, is a rich dowry, and she has indeed made a fortune. Hearing Orange Hong's quip, Dong Ying raised her eyebrows and smiled, her eyes tangled with faint joy like silk.

Orange Hong also smiled, quietly supporting Dongyu, the master and servant didn't say anything all the way, and returned to the Shicui Pavilion.
