Chapter 301: Three Hundred and One Days of Becoming an Old Lady
A few days later, the news that the old lady had become a marquis reached Qinghe County and returned to Shanghe Village.
The entire Shanghe Village is boiling, in the past, it was only known that the ancestors were glorified by participating in the imperial examination, and there was Hu Boss in front of the Hu family, and Hu Guangqing in the back, which was a veritable family of cultivators and scholars, and it was also the existence that the villagers were proud of.
But, Master Hou!
The old lady became a marquis silently, and she was the existence of the glorious ancestors.
Hou Ye is a knighthood, and the villagers don't understand any big reason, they only know that Hou Ye is more glorious than the champion.
The old lady deserves to be an old lady, she has great skills!
The village chief was even more happy to open his eyes, he had long felt that the old lady was not a thing in the pool. It's hateful that some people in the village are still jealous of the greenhouse before, and they do something that can't be put on the table.
This time it's good, the old lady became the marquis, and she was still the first female marquis of the Great Song Dynasty, and such a major event should be full of joy in the village.
The village chief called a few of his own families to open an ancestral hall and solemnly wrote the old lady's name on the family tree. From now on, she is no longer "Hu Tian", but Tian Tian with a name and surname.
The Tian family has a daughter, Tian Tian, who married the Hu family, gave birth to children, and benefited the village, and the merit is in the future. He was given the title of "Marquis of Grain Chang" by the emperor......
The old lady's fear jumped on the paper, she became a model in the village, and she was admired by everyone.
The wind from Shanghe Village also blew to Tianjiazhuang.
Since Hu Yan'er was taken away by the yacha last time, Tian Lei's power in the village has plummeted. The villagers already resented the old lady for sending many people in the village to prison, everyone was related to each other, and there was no way to obey her command before, but now with the government sent by the government, who still listens to her?
The villagers are more willing to believe in the government sent by the government, and Tian Lei, the village head, is even more nameless.
Especially after hearing that the old lady was taken away by the king, someone had already opened the door secretly and fired a cannon to celebrate the old lady's arrest.
As a result, it has only been a few days, how did the old lady become a marquis?
Unsuspecting villagers gathered in groups to discuss:
"You say, is the Hou Ye the official or the county master's official?"
The villagers who participated in the discussion looked at each other, although they were mud legs in the countryside, they also knew the Qipin County Order.
The official position of this dynasty is from the first rank to the eighth grade, Lord Hou...... It's good to add a "master", it can't be an eight-rank official, that is, the official position of the Hou Ye is greater than the county order!
This is not good news, everyone is waiting for the old lady to suffer, and then choose a new village chief and follow the county lord to work hard.
The results are now ......
Not to mention the re-election of the village head, they are all worried that the county lord will offend the old lady and there will be no good fruit to eat.
Tian Lei's family, which is full of birds, is lively again, just to let him see that for the sake of the old and young in the village, the generals are not to blame for the past, and they are still following the old lady.
Tian Lei has been closing his doors since he knew that the old lady had become a Hou Ye, he didn't have any great skills, and he couldn't help the old lady, but he must not hold her back.
The interests of the village are deeply entangled, if he accepts the villagers without any guilt, where will he put the old lady?
Betrayal of this kind of thing is enough once, things that are wasted are not cherished, Tian Lei doesn't want to raise a village of white-eyed wolves for the old lady.
The villagers begged him for something, and they didn't dare to make a mistake, but everyone would still listen to Tian Lei's thoughts.
The villagers' worries are relatively small, and the person who is most worried is Zhou Rui.
As the county magistrate of Qinghe County, this can be called his hall, Zhou Rui also wants to be a good official, and he does not act completely according to his own ideas.
However, when the water is clear, there are no fish. He will not ignore the law, nor will he have to go all the way to the dark when it is clear that there is a shortcut.
He came into contact with Zhao Yuanwai and met the king of Anding.
With the escort of the prince of the county, his official career will go smoothly. That's why he knew that the king of Anping County was on good terms with the Hu family, but he was still selfish and favored Zhao Yuanwai.
There are many people who are good friends with the king of Anping County, as long as he can plant the "double cropping rice", he can't worry about Shangguan Qingyan?
Zhou Rui has been working hard towards this goal, and in fact he has done a good job.
But the question is, how did the old lady become a marquis!
Hou Ye is so easy to be?
In the past, he couldn't do anything to the old lady, but now that the old lady has become the Hou Ye, he doesn't dare to do anything.
But don't be as good as the prince of the county, you have nothing to fear. As the Hou Ye who is receiving the holy favor, the old lady can walk sideways in Lin'an Mansion.
Even Lin'an Mansion can't help her, let alone the small Qinghe County.
Zhou Rui is now even more glad that he shook hands with the old lady in order to curry favor with Charity before. Even so, he was worried that the old lady would take revenge for favoring Zhao Yuanwai.
Zhou Rui felt that only Zhao Yuanwai would have the same idea as him in Qinghe County now, it was better to be happy alone, and it was better to listen to Zhao Yuanwai's thoughts if he was entangled in the past with someone else.
Zhao Mansion.
Since Zhao Yuanwai learned that the old lady had become a marquis, he had already killed two slaves. He couldn't go to the old lady's trouble, so he took out his anger at his own people.
When Zhou Rui looked for it, the Zhao Mansion was silent. If he hadn't come suddenly, the little guy wouldn't have dared to come in front of Zhao Yuanwai.
Fortunately, the reported little guy did not suffer because of this, and Zhou Rui also met Zhao Yuanwai smoothly.
Zhao Yuanwai sat in the middle of the study, his expression had been hidden, and when he saw Zhou Rui coming here, he said politely:
"Lord Prefectural, don't come unharmed?"
He knew why Zhou Rui was here, and his tone was full of ridicule.
If you want to offend the old lady of the Hu family, the Zhou people in front of you are also one of them.
"Brother Zhao, don't laugh. What now? ”
Zhou Rui was actually very panicked, and he was calculating all kinds of things along the way. I finally met someone I could discuss with, and I unconsciously expressed panic.
Zhao Yuanwai had already adjusted his mood, and he casually played with the inkstone at hand, and his tone was casual.
"What to do?"
Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he didn't care at all, and Zhou Rui didn't care what he thought, so he said his intention directly.
"The old lady of the Hu family has become a marquis, let's ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yuanwai raised his hand to stop.
"Aren't we doing things for the King of Anding?"
He was very innocent, but his smiling eyes were very revealing.
Zhou Rui: "......"
After a while, Zhou Rui suddenly realized.
"Seconds, Brother Zhao's seconds."
yes, what was he worried about? Everything he did was instructed by Hou Ye, if the Hu family wanted to retaliate, it would also be revenge on Hou Ye.
It depends on the owner to beat the dog, if the Hu family dares to retaliate against him, the prince of the county will not stand idly by.
The tension and worry along the way came to naught, and the more Zhou Rui looked at Zhao Yuanwai, the more satisfied he became. If it weren't for this great business, he would have entered the official with the mind of Zhao Yuanwai, and the position of the county order would definitely be captured.
Zhou Rui'an was heartbroken, and Zhao Yuanwai was saying again:
"As long as the king of Anding County is willing to recognize us, what is a mere marquis?"
He raised his eyebrows, and there was a lot of meaning.
"Yes, that's it." Zhou Rui agreed, and at the same time was glad that he had good diplomacy with Zhao Yuan.
But fortunately, it was only an instant, and Zhao Yuanwai said:
"I'm afraid that the king of Anding will not recognize us."
These words turned abruptly, and Zhou Rui panicked for no reason.
"How so?"
He didn't believe in this assumption, and finally got on the boat of the king of Anding, and tossed these things, not to make this kind of assumption.
"It's not funny, don't say it again." Zhou Rui was already flustered, and he was looking for Zhao Yuanwai to feel at ease, but he didn't listen to him talk nonsense.
Zhao Yuanwai came to Zhou Rui's side and gently flicked the non-existent dust on his shoulder. Such presumptuous behavior caused Zhou Rui to frown frequently, if he hadn't waited for Zhao Yuanwai to solve his doubts, he would have wanted to leave right now.
Zhao Yuanwai seemed to be unaware of his actions, and after playing the ashes, he stood upright again, without any transgression.
"What's a joke? Didn't Lord Zhou know that the king of Anding was going to marry the Hu family? ”
"Marriage!" Zhou Rui was shocked, when did this happen, what happened!
"Oh, it seems to be with Hu Yan'er." Zhao Yuanwai was empathetic and directly informed the candidates.
The king of Anding County likes Hu Yan'er.
Zhou Rui was stunned, and it took a while to react, still unbelievable.
"This, this...... Where does this begin? ”
What kind of daughter can't be found by the prince of the dignified county, as for finding a peasant girl?
If you want to say that it is not like playing casually, otherwise Zhao Yuanwai should not be alarmist.
He scratched his head in a hurry, and his heart was even more panicked. said that they were all subordinates of the king of Anding, but as a result, the master disarmed and surrendered first.
But when did the king of Anding County meet Hu Yan'er, he, hasn't he always been an enemy of the Hu family?
Zhou Rui stared at Zhao Yuanwai solemnly, he heard Zhao Yuanwai say that the county king of Anding was looking for trouble with the Hu family, but he didn't know the truth directly from the county prince.
Zhou Rui suspected that Zhao Yuanwai was playing tricks in it, and Zhao Yuanwai let him see it, and his tone was light:
"Do you think that the things that the prince of the county did are like a prodigal who deliberately attracted the attention of the girl?"
"You ......" Zhou Rui was shocked, this time he no longer had patience, and angrily reprimanded:
"You are presumptuous!"
How dare Zhao Yuanwai criticize the king of the county?
That is the emperor's favorite county king, and it is very likely to ascend to the throne!
He is not afraid, not afraid......
"Huh." Zhao Yuanwai smiled, approached Zhou Rui and reminded: "You know these words, I won't admit anything when I go out of this door." ”
Stinky and shameless!
Zhou Rui cursed in his heart, he was a ghost who chose to cooperate with Zhao Yuanwai in the first place. He has not heard of Zhao Yuanwai's deeds, but he is rich and dangerous, although Zhao Yuanwai has all kinds of bad, but he can catch up with Zhao Yuanwai, who is still relying on Zhao Yuanwai.
Zhou Rui endured and endured, now is not the time to tear his face, since the king of Anding County wants to marry the Hu family, what can they do?
When the time comes, will he watch himself being retaliated against by the Hu family?
In this regard, Zhao Yuanwai's answer is:
The Hu family can send their daughter to the county king's mansion, can't they?
The eldest daughter of Zhou Rui's family is in her prime, and it is not considered buried when she enters the county palace.
"No way!" Zhou Rui refused, his daughter wanted to be his wife, and when his daughter entered the county palace, he would definitely not be the princess of the county with his family background. If you can't be the princess of the county, the others are not the same thing?
Don't let your daughter do such a thing!
"Well, I can't help it." Zhao Yuanwai spread his hands, very innocent.
"If I have a daughter, I will be sent to the county king's mansion. Even so, I'm going to buy a few maids and send them in. ”
Don't say he didn't remind him, there is no such shop in this village after that.
