Chapter 508: Named the Lord of Qingning

On the evening of the third day, there was a decree to canonize Meng He as the lord of Qingning County, and Meng Xuan as a guest of honor, and he was given the mansion of the county lord of Qingning; Feng Sheng's mother Lan is a four-grade respectful person and commends filial piety. After He Angelica thanked him, the father-in-law who stayed to announce the decree ate tea, and the other party was busy, so she asked her subordinates to give the sealed red envelope to the father-in-law, and the other party weighed it and went down with a smile.

"Lan?" Qing'er studied the golden and splendid holy decree, and first wondered, "Could it be that they made a mistake when they typed pinyin?" Pinyin is a product of the new cultural movement of the Republic of China. Xiaoyi, did they get your mother's name wrong, do you want to take it and ask them to change it? ”

He Angelica replied with a smile: "I haven't heard of the reason to go back and change the holy decree throughout the ages, the Lan family is the last time I saw Nie Chun, I agreed with him about the name and surname, in order to let my mother change her face and live a new life." Also, Luo Chuanxiong, the wife of the Luo family, is a married woman in the official household, even if Nie Chun helps her complete the reconciliation and divorce, then she is not the kind of person who waits for the boudoir. According to the law, the lady of the decree cannot remarry after receiving the title, otherwise she will be stripped of her title and punished with silver. ”

"How can there be such an abominable thing?" Qing'er pouted, "A man can have three wives and four concubines when he is an official, and a woman can be a fate, so she has to hold the chastity archway for the rest of her life?" ”

He Angelica nodded and sighed: "This is natural, but only the main room of the official can be appointed as the wife of the decree, and receive a certain amount of silver and rice, and when the official dies, the emperor is willing to give his wife money and help him support his family, of course, for the sake of his former conscientiousness, if his wife can't keep it and remarry, then the 'Zhende' on the emperor's canonization edict will not become a joke?" Actually, if my mother married Nie Chun before she was entitled, then this would not be in the way, because her situation is special, and the Song Dynasty also has a comparable precedent. I'm just afraid that they are still awkward over there, so if they don't hurry up and get the identity document of 'Yangzhou Lan' for my mother, and sign the marriage letter quickly, and even, my mother may not have separated from He Fu yet...... I don't know how my mother is doing now. ”

Qing'er patted her sympathetically and comforted: "God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you, although your two fathers have no conscience, and your mother is not responsible, but you are beautiful and smart, and you married a handsome husband, which can be regarded as compensation." By the way, you are the fourth product, so isn't Meng Xuan's 'Yibin' also the fourth product? How many grades was he when he was a general, and was he promoted with you? ”

He Angelica smiled slightly, and cleared Qing'er's illiteracy: "The princess's concubine and the county lord's honor guests are all false titles, and several products are not taken seriously, and some of the money is also counted in the accounts of the princess and the county lord, and the couple receive a share of the money." Meng Xuan's military rank, I really haven't calculated it carefully, either from the fifth grade to the sixth grade, in the army only according to the 'general, handsome' theory of superiors and subordinates, if the emperor let a nine-rank commander seal, then the nine-grade official can also transfer the fourth or fifth grade. ”

The two were talking, sharing the joy of He Angelica after being named the county lord, when they suddenly heard the sound of ping-pong in the courtyard, the two looked at each other, went out to investigate, and saw that the two lights and shadows in the center of the courtyard, one blue and one white, were entangled in one place, running to the sky for a while, and falling to the ground for a while. Before Qing'er could react, He Angelica had already guessed that it was two masters fighting. But seeing that they don't exchange words with each other, they just fight vigorously, although the moves they play are dazzling and dizzying, but they don't have half a point of killing, and there is even a pleasing elegance.

Strange, what kind of top master is that, two of them appeared at once, and they went to her yard to compete? He Angelica tilted his head and asked Qing'er: "The day before yesterday, when did Duan Xiaolou leave?" ”

Qing'er replied: "I woke up when he carried me out, but I was too scared to go back, so I gave up continuing to visit Zhu Yuanzhang and asked him to send me back to Shuiqian Ju." When I got here, I wanted to find out more about him, so I left him for tea and chat, and we talked all afternoon, and he hadn't left until five minutes before you came back, and I don't know why he was gone. ”

"Talked all afternoon?" He Angelica was very surprised, Qing'er and Duan Xiaolou? It felt weird, and I couldn't help asking, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Talk about life ideals." Qing'er was serious, so He Angelica was speechless for a while.

At this time, the blue and white shadows in the sky were frozen in the air, He Angelica and Qing'er raised their heads and looked up, the blue one was Duan Xiaolou, and the white one was ...... Meng Xuan? Meng Xuan: Did he go back to Yangzhou? It's not that you want to go to Qingzhou for two months, why did you only go for ten days and come back? No wonder Yitong is back.

Qing'er waved his arms at the two handsome men who were as tall as gods in the air, and shouted: "Stop fighting~~ It's all your own people!" Meng Xuan, if you fight again, your wife should be angry! Duan Xiaolou, why do you still beat the host as a guest at someone else's house? ”

Her mediation really worked, Meng Xuan and Duan Xiaolou stopped, and returned to the ground from the air one after another, Meng Xuan explained in their direction: "I've always wanted to learn, and if I happen to meet today, I'll try it." Duan Xiaolou also added: "The competition between men is similar to your daughter's fighting grass, but it is just a matter of interest, and it has nothing to do with grievances, so the two of you don't have to be frightened." ”

Qing'er and they didn't know how Meng Xuan and Duan Xiaolou became so compatible, and they were all surprised. He Angelica gave Meng Xuan a salute and asked: "Why did you say that you will come back, so let people say hello in advance, repair the roof at home, and even the outer courtyard hall where you live is also changing the glazed tiles, I am afraid that I will not be able to clean it up for a while, and I can't move in for the time being." ”

After yesterday's accident, after noon that day, the emperor moved back to Yangzhou, Yangzhou prefect Han Fei heard the death of his son, not only did not dare to do so, but also said three good words before driving, the emperor tried to the end, only ordered to go to Qingyuan with Han to investigate the lead of a few people to be detained pending trial, the matter was temporarily over. There was no news that the emperor summoned King Ning to see him or issued an order to reprimand King Ning.

Han Fei secretly wiped a cold sweat and listened to the news of Master Dong Guoguang's death and the title of county lord of Meng Xuan's concubine He. On the second day, Han Fei asked the masons to push ten carts of glazed tiles and whitewashed paint barrels to Qingyuan, so that they had to repair the roof and paint the exterior walls of Qingyuan. At that time, it was Qing'er who received the craftsmen, and in line with the principle of "there is a cheap and no advantage, a bastard", she called those people to come in and tinker.

He Angelica felt inappropriate in his heart when he heard about it, even if Han Fei sincerely apologized for Han Fang's actions, then the Qing Garden was not very suitable for repair-it was not good to build a large number of buildings before he was named the county lord. But the craftsmen had already been called in, and they had to be told to do a circle before leaving, and according to the foreman, it was a small work of five days, and only half of it was done today.

When Meng Xuan was repairing this garden, he fell in love with this kind of glazed tile, and it had already been ordered, and he pushed it away and said no, so he temporarily changed it to another one. It's just that I don't know where the prefect learned about such a trivial matter.

And when Meng Xuan returned to the garden, he saw those masons, and he frowned slightly, secretly asking people to watch them more. Han Fei lost his son, and he didn't want to anger others to take revenge, but he helped the county lord repair the roof, which is not too abnormal. Seeing He Angelica ask at this moment, he explained: "Two days later is the Qingming Festival, and I can't take the time to go home to participate in the ancestor sprinkling, so I plan to set up an altar here, and I just sacrifice a sacrifice in an informal form." ”

He Angelica nodded and said: "That is the case, the concubine will arrange a clean house for the master to live in, and now there are many houses that have not repaired the roof and are fully equipped with all the equipment, but I want to ask the master how many days he plans to live." If you only stay for two or three days, and then move those new houses and new buildings that have not been occupied, it will be too much of a toss-up, and it is more convenient to live in a guest room, you say? ”

Meng Xuan, who is now almost as tall as Duan Xiaolou, smiled and lowered her hand, raised her chin, nodded at Shui Qianju behind her, and said with a smile: "Although Qingyuan is in your name, Qing'er, you won't be so ruthless, let your husband sleep in the guest room, right?" I probably left on the day of Qingming, stopped for three days in the middle, and lived in Shuiqian. ”

He Angelica nodded yes. The issue of Meng Xuan's accommodation was discussed, the four of them were silent for a while, and stood in the courtyard for a while to blow the wind, Qing'er poked He Angelica and said with a smile: "The one standing next to your husband is also a general, why did you forget to greet him?" Maybe the emperor sent him to deliver the decree, and he won't let him in for a cup of tea? ”

He Danggui did as he said and let Duan Xiaolou enter the house to drink tea.

Duan Xiaolou said with a smile: "I don't pass on the decree, but that day the emperor saw that a kind of red mountain fruit growing in the garden was bright and cute, and he wanted to pick some to eat but forgot it, and when he thought about it today, he asked me to come over." ”

He Angelica hurriedly smiled and said: "Why don't you let the general run, just pass a word, and the concubine naturally picks the freshest mountain fruit to honor his old man." ”

"I'm just running an errand along the way," Duan Xiaolou explained, "to take a look at the scenery that I didn't see all of it last time." ”

He Angelica nodded: "Then dare to be kind, the general is planning to stay and visit?" Do you need to arrange a clean guest room with a concubine, and take a full view of the scenery before leaving? That mountain fruit, the concubine sent the appropriate people to Yangzhou. ”

Duan Xiaolou turned his head to look at Meng Xuan, and Meng Xuan smiled and said, "In this case, then General Duan and I will go to the front hall to have a few drinks and have fun, and you will slowly clean up the arrangements." Duan Xiaolou nodded and said yes, so the two of them walked out side by side intimately, He Angelica had a decent smile on his face, and slowly saluted the backs of the two of them, and slowly accepted the gift.

Qing'er watched coldly, not to mention how Meng Xuan's little brother became so strange, but looking at Duan Xiaolou, he didn't look like he didn't recognize He Angelica, and he asked him all afternoon that day, but he didn't ask one, two, three, four. Duan Xiaolou, what a mystery. If he had completely forgotten He Angelica, his attitude would not have been so blunt, Duan Xiaolou in her impression was very good at dealing with girls. If he hadn't forgotten...... Then his current attitude is even more intriguing......

Meng Xuan and Duan Xiaolou discussed harmoniously going to the front hall to drink, but they didn't leave immediately, because the wild fruits that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to eat grew on a few trees opposite Shui Qianju. Duan Xiaolou asked Meng Xuan to wait, and he flew to the tree to pick the fruit, and even the blooming brocade box was taken out of his arms, which showed that he really came to pick the fruit-Qing'er judged so.

When the people from the kitchen came to ask about something, He Angelica just arranged the dishes for Meng Xuan and their wine in the front hall, and she wanted to see more about the situation of Meng Duan and the others, so she didn't go into the house, just stood under the eaves and explained the names of the vegetables and fruits. Qing'er wanted to taste the fruit that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang liked, so she ran out of the courtyard and waited under the tree with Meng Xuan, waiting for two fruits to eat. The atmosphere was friendly, and the pastoral atmosphere diffused in the twilight, but a little disharmony appeared above He Angelica's head.

Under the eaves of the corridor on the third floor, a piece of Taoding red tile weighing more than six catties suddenly loosened, and it was very coincidental that it was just a few feet above He Angelica's head. After it was loosened, it was said that it would fall, and without any warning, death came.

"Sister He!" A voice shouted.

"Xiaoyi!" Two voices shouted.

"Danger on the headβ€”"
