Chapter 269

On the eighth day of the eighth day.

It is advisable to marry, and it is more advisable to propose marriage.

Since Mrs. Yasukuni has promised her son, she will naturally handle this matter beautifully.

Early in the morning, the gongs and drums were beaten, and the gifts were carried to the gate of the Yong'an Hou Mansion by three media and six hired workers.

News of the marriage between the Duke of Jingguo and the Marquis of Yong'an spread like wildfire.

Not long after Yong'an Hou's Mansion returned to Beijing, it was on the list as a big backer of the Yasukuni Mansion, so many people in the capital were gossiping.

It's nothing more than the disparity in the status of the two families in the DPRK. Marquis Yong'an may have taken advantage of Duke Yasukuni, which made the Duke Yasukuni agree to the marriage.
In short, there is nothing to say.

It's just that this does not prevent the two families from discussing the marriage of their children.

In the hall, Mrs. Yasukuni was sitting alone on one side.

At the top sat Mrs. Chu, and on the other side were Lord Chu and Mrs. Chu.

The matchmaker brought by Mrs. Yasukuni has read the dowry gifts one by one.

Rao, Mrs. Chu, who was used to seeing riches and honors, couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, and called out to be good.

As expected of the Yasukuni Mansion with a profound heritage, it was a 66-year-old betrothal gift as soon as it made a move.

Lord Chu Hou also looked very satisfied.

From now on, the Marquis of Yong'an and the Duke of Jingguo's mansion will be relatives by marriage. With this relationship, Lord Chu's life in the court will not be too sad in the future.

Mrs. Yasukuni seemed to be able to see the psychological fluctuations of the two of them, and she looked a little disgusted, "Since the betrothal gifts have been brought, why not settle the children's marriage today?"

Mrs. Chu frowned.

She clearly saw the changes in the second granddaughter's time, and knew that Chu Zhenzhen attached great importance to the marriage with the Jingguo government. If she spoke, she might cause the second granddaughter's dissatisfaction.

After thinking about it, I still didn't say anything.

Lord Chu Hou was in a happy mood. He only felt that today was the only time he had been so happy in all these years, so he nodded his head to agree.

Suddenly, the servants who were waiting in the courtyard hurried in, "Master Hou, there is an order from the palace outside the gate, and it is specified that the eldest girl and the second girl are to receive the order."

Everyone in the hall was shocked.

The news that Miss Chu was rewarded by the county magistrate for her meritorious service in the palace had already been spread intermittently, but the Holy Majesty did not issue a decree after all, and most people did not believe it in their hearts.

Unexpectedly, it was not that there was no imperial decree, but that the Holy One specially picked a good day to call.

Mrs. Chu stood up and strode out, "Follow me to the door to receive the order."

A group of people followed up.

When Eunuch Cheng finished reading out the imperial decree, the spectators around the door couldn't help looking at each other, and couldn't help but whispered: "Miss Chu is really named the county lord!"

"It turned out that Miss Chu came up with the flood in Yao County a while ago, and it was she who saved countless people. She really is a role model for a noble lady."

"Isn't it rumored that Miss Chu grew up in the countryside and was vulgar and rude? Why did she do such a great service without anyone noticing and saved so many people?"

"Shut up! Didn't you hear what the imperial decree said just now? Miss Chu is dignified and elegant, knowledgeable, gentle and dignified. Do you think the Holy Majesty has been blinded?"

The man gasped in fright and shook his head one after another: "Don't dare!"

Give him a hundred guts, and he wouldn't dare to sing against the Holy Spirit.

So, the Holy Majesty said that Miss Chu is good, and Miss Chu is really good!It is also to directly rectify Miss Chu's name in public, and see who dares to gossip in the future!
"Yes, the fief is still an extremely rich land, no matter what happens to Miss Chu in the future, she will definitely have nothing to worry about eating and drinking."

"Why are you calling Miss Chu now, you should be calling the county master!"

"Yes, yes! Your Excellency the county lord"

"."

Mrs. Jingguo looked at Chu Wanning deeply.

If this girl had been raised in the Hou Mansion since she was a child, she might be the one who married her son.

It's a pity that she is the county head.

Eunuch Cheng took care of the bright yellow imperial edict, and looked at Chu Wanning softly, "Master, it's time to accept the edict."

Chu Wanning, who was wearing a special veil, only showed a pair of twinkling eyes, and slightly stretched out her hands to take it: "Your servant accepts the order, thank you for your grace."

The female members of the Chu family who were kneeling beside her all looked at her with envy.

Mrs. Chu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Mrs. Cheng recognized that Chu Wanning could not be identified.

After all, Eunuch Cheng is the one who serves the Holy Majesty, and Chu Wanning's appearance is similar to that person, so he can be easily recognized.

She asked Yuegui to rush to the Shaohua Academy in advance, and asked Chu Wanning to put on a veil and come out to receive the order.

Everyone thought that after the imperial decree was read, the matter would come to an end.

Unexpectedly, in the next instant, Eunuch Cheng took out another will from the young eunuch.

Chu Zhenzhen didn't know why, her eyelids twitched crazily, looking at the Daoming yellow edict, she always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was about to get up: "Grandma, Zhenzhen feels a little unwell, and wants to go back first."

Before he finished speaking, he was pressed down by Lord Chu, and he scolded in a low voice: "Nonsense, Eunuch Cheng specifically asked you to stay, if you leave, if the Holy One blames you, wouldn't it implicate the entire Marquis of Yong'an?" House?"

Being reprimanded by Marquis Yong'an face to face, and her future mother-in-law watching from not far away, Chu Zhenzhen's face turned red and then pale, and she felt very embarrassed.

At this time, Eunuch Cheng's meaningful eyes fell on Chu Zhenzhen's face, spread out the bright yellow imperial decree, and slowly read: "The second lady Chu of the Yong'an Houfu accepts the decree."

Chu Zhenzhen slightly parted her lips, a little out of control.

The nurse next to Mrs. Jingguo couldn't help laughing and said: "Ma'am, Miss Chu was conferred the title of county lord by the Holy Majesty, and this second girl Chu may also be made a county lord. This old servant congratulated Madam in advance."

"How do you say that?" Mrs. Yasukuni was a little confused.

Mammy smiled, "Ma'am, don't forget that the reason why the Yong'an Hou Mansion was able to return to the capital was because of Miss Chu's meritorious deeds."

Mrs. Yasukuni knew that she was talking about the flood in Yao County.

"But didn't the imperial decree just say that the person who contributed to the flood in Yao County is Miss Chu."

The nanny said: "Ma'am, don't worry, maybe the two sisters came up with the idea together. Since the Holy Majesty wants to confer rewards, he must confer rewards together."

After all, there was a lot of rumors about Chu Zhenzhen's great contribution to Yao County a while ago, so it can't be fake!
Mrs. Yasukuni's mouth slightly raised, "You are right."

The way she looked at Chu Zhenzhen became softer.

A county head can barely become the wife of the prince of the Yasukuni government.

Under the hot eyes of everyone, Chu Zhenzhen stepped forward slowly, bowed her head and knelt down to listen to the imperial decree.

"There is a decree in the holy order that the second girl of Chu pretended to claim credit, and was blinded by her desire for profit. She almost caused the death of thousands of people in Yao County. She deceived the king and ignored her. For the sake of the county lord's mercy, the title of the first talented woman will be revoked from now on." , Qin this," Eunuch Cheng read slowly.

This decree was exactly the same as what the Holy Majesty announced in the main hall, but he did not announce it in a hurry, but waited for Chu Wanning's rewards to be ready before announcing them together.

Eunuch Cheng looked at Chu Zhenzhen mockingly, "Second Miss Chu, are you still not accepting the order?"

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Everyone thought it was the will of the reward, so they looked forward to it very much. They thought that there would be two county heads in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, but they were slapped in the face in an instant!
