391 county lords
Lu Xiubai stared at the girl sitting in the carriage through the window.
The girl's face was beautiful, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on her side face, like a cold, unreachable moon in the sky.
He was willing to be the knife in the hands of Concubine Wu, but he didn't expect that it was Mingyue in his heart who was hurt.
He had a thousand words in his heart at the moment, but he didn't know how to speak.
Shen Yunjiao urged: "If my cousin has nothing to say, then I will leave first." Smiling, Qingyu, get in the carriage. ”
"I'm sorry." Lu Xiubai said eagerly, "I did something sorry for you, I didn't know you were the daughter of the Meng family." If I had known, I would ...... I ......"
Lu Xiubai couldn't go on.
Even if he knew Shen Yunjiao's identity for a long time, maybe at the request of Concubine Wu, he would still be like this.
He bowed his head in shame, no longer in high spirits.
Shen Yunjiao chuckled: "Don't talk about my cousin, I have been kept in the dark before, and I only learned my identity recently." Cousin, I don't blame you, you have your position, your ambitions. I really don't blame you. I'll take my leave first, and my cousin will let the carriage scratch you. ”
Lu Xiubai took a step back in a daze, and saw the carriage leave.
His heart was mixed, and in the end it only turned into a helpless sigh.
The next day, the Holy Lord had another decree, which was to let Shen Yunjiao change her surname to Meng and canonize her as the lord of Xuanxu County.
At the will of the saint, who outside would dare to speculate about Shen Yunjiao's identity?
Even the saint has determined that Shen Yunjiao is the orphan of the Meng family, who dares to argue with the saint?
Shen Yunjiao took the order in a daze, and was surrounded by the subordinates in a daze.
Ping's mother took people and put the holy decree in the small Buddha hall and offered it.
Cui Ye and other maids congratulated Shen Yunjiao beside her, and several people saluted Shen Yunjiao together.
Yun Jiao sighed: "Now, I don't have to have a surname that has nothing to do with me. ”
Qingyu was a little excited: "Girl, no, the county lord has come out." ”
Now, not only does her own girl not have to salute others, but when she turns it over, others have to salute her.
Yun Jiao said: "You don't have to call me the county lord, you can just use the previous title." ”
Before everyone had time to rejoice, they listened to the people guarding the door, and there was a person outside the door who claimed to be the aunt of the eldest lady of the Meng family.
With a smile, he remembered, "By the way, I have long heard that there is still one person left in the Meng family's branch, who is the youngest concubine of Lord Meng, and she was only fifteen years old when the Meng family had an accident. The girl is going to call her aunt and grandmother. ”
Shen Yunjiao had to be cautious, "Could it be someone impersonating?" ”
smiled and said: "Don't worry, girl, if you can come and knock on the door, the prince will definitely be able to pass the palm." ”
Shen Yunjiao's face flushed, she cleared her throat uncomfortably, and said, "Go and invite her in." ”
Xiaoxiao went out in person.
Shen Yunjiao couldn't sit still in the house, so she simply walked to the courtyard and waited.
After waiting for a stick of incense, he led a woman into the courtyard with a smile.
The woman was dressed in a white-washed coarse linen dress, her face was tanned, but her eyes were exceptionally bright and energetic.
The woman's hands were as dry as the bark of a tree because of years of labor, and her hands clung tightly to the burden.
As soon as she entered, her eyes fell on Yun Jiao's body.
Rao has experienced strong winds and waves, enjoyed glory and wealth, and suffered unbearable hardships for ordinary people, and his mind has been tempered so much that ordinary people can't reach him.
But the moment he saw Yun Jiao, the tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
Meng Xian murmured: "It's like, it's too similar." ”
Perhaps it was the tacit understanding between the bloods, as soon as Yun Jiao saw Meng Xian, she felt close in her heart.
She walked over quickly, and also cried out with tears in her eyes, "Auntie." ”
The two hugged their heads and cried.
Qingyu and the others persuaded on the side, but when they couldn't persuade them, they carried the two back to the house first.
Meng Xian seemed to cry out all these years of grievances, her body was so weak that she almost fainted from crying.
Yun Jiao didn't dare to cry anymore, and persuaded Meng Xian with everyone.
Meng Xian stopped crying and looked at Yun Jiao vigorously, as if she couldn't get enough of it.
"I heard that Xueyi also had a daughter, but I just thought it was made up by someone else, or someone with a bad heart pretending to be it. After all, a little girl who has no power, no father and no mother, and is still a criminal minister has a difficult life in this world, even if Xue Yi really has a daughter, it is estimated that she will not live long, but now I see you. ”
Meng Xian's rough but warm palm caressed Yun Jiao's face, "Seeing you now, it's like seeing Xueyi." Although she and I are aunts and nephews, I am about the same age as her, and we grew up together, so it is not an exaggeration to say that I am sisters. ”
Meng Xian looked at Yun Jiao lovingly, "On the way here, I heard that you were named the county lord." The word Xuanxu is very good. ”
Yun Jiao asked, "Grandmother, do you have any meaning to these two words?" ”
Meng Xian said: "I don't know the meaning of these two words, I accidentally wrote these two words in Xueyi's book, I asked her, she said that she was going to name her future daughter." ”
Yun Jiao was shocked.
It was her mother's words written in the book, and how did the saint know about it?
Mother Ping rushed over from the Buddhist hall and treated Meng Xian very respectfully, "Madam, you can go and rest for a while after a long journey." Have you eaten anything on the way? ”
Hearing the title of Madame, Meng Xian only felt like a world away, and she shook her head in a daze.
Yun Jiao hurriedly threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind and ordered: "Qingyu, you quickly ask the kitchen to serve food, Cuiye, you ask people to prepare the bath water." ”
Yun Jiao glanced at the clothes on Meng Xian's body, there were patches everywhere, too old to wear.
But her clothes are not suitable for Meng Xian.
When she was struggling, Ping's mother said, "I have two newly made clothes there, both of which are made of fine cotton cloth, and Mrs. will wear them first." ”
According to Meng Xian's seniority, calling her an old lady also made it.
But looking at Meng Xian's still young face, Ping's mother really couldn't shout.
Meng Xian smiled: "It's definitely better than the clothes I'm wearing now, how can I not get used to wearing them?" ”
Qingyu led Meng Xian to freshen up first.
Ping's mother discussed with Yun Jiao to send a few people to serve Meng Xian.
They were busy, and the people outside were also busy after hearing that Yun Jiao had been made the county lord by the saint.
When Lord Wang heard about what happened at a royal banquet yesterday, he reprimanded Mrs. Wang fiercely.
Lord Wang is an upright person, and he is most unaccustomed to bullying the weak.
It's his own wife who bullies a little girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet yet.
And that little girl's life is tortuous, she is really a poor person.
Lord Wang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
