Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 655 What an absurd thing this is... (two more)

At this moment, outside the Kaifeng county government office, countless people from Bianliang, Tokyo, who have nothing to do, have already surrounded them, and they are all curious whether that Wu Shangshu can really be adopted successfully.

Until this time, there was a burst of noise from outside the crowd, and soon, the crowd was lined up by a team of imperial guards, revealing a passage.

With a very serious expression, Yang Jian came to the Kaifeng county government surrounded by a group of guards...

Although there are not many common people who know this white-faced and beardless official's first confidant, but after word of mouth, everyone became more and more excited.

Wu Shangshu dragged Maode Diji, who was a monk, to the Kaifeng county government office to go through the adoption procedures. The Kaifeng county magistrate didn't dare to make up his mind, so he could only play dead dogs.

But now, the eunuchs around the official family have arrived, and the scene will definitely be as lively as thunder stirring the ground.

Regrettably, as soon as those forbidden soldiers arrived, they directly blocked the gate of Kaifeng County Yamen, and no one was allowed to approach.

Those countless gossip-loving gossipers could only sigh helplessly, and began to make up their minds and analyze the conflicts that were happening in the government office at the moment.

And Yang Jian showed a half-smile expression, and then saluted Wu Shangshu.

"Wu Shangshu, you have to think about it. The officials said that if this matter is done, Master Yuankong will be your daughter..."

"Naturally, with so many people testifying here, can there be falsehoods?"

Wu Zhizhong was furious, his eyes wide open.

"If the official family wants to take back the order, please issue the imperial edict immediately, otherwise, the old man will adopt it."

"From now on, this girl has nothing to do with the Tian family, she is the old man's stepdaughter."

"Fine, fine, since Wu Shangshu insists on this, then..."

Gritting his teeth, Yang Jian summoned the magistrate of Kaifeng County who thought he had found a backer, and whispered for a while.

The magistrate of Kaifeng County looked at Yang Jian who came to deliver the emperor's oral order with a bewildered expression.

After a long time, he nervously stretched out his fingers to pick out his ears.

"Zhongguan, I really don't joke with Xiaguan, that is the official's beloved daughter..."

"Why, don't you think our family has come here under the imperial edict of the government just to make fun of you?"

Yang Jian's face darkened, and his voice suddenly rose an octave.

"Yes, yes, the official made a slip of the tongue, then, since that's the case, the official will really do it..."

The county magistrate had a face that was about to cry, and the sad expression and eyes that looked back three times at every step made Yang Zhongguan feel goose bumps all over his body.

The county magistrate has gone, and the abbot of Lingyin Temple and Chen Shilang are all witnesses, and they are also standing here under great pressure at this moment.

Yang Jian continued to maintain aloofness, did not deal with anyone, and waited patiently.

After a long time of Zhu Xiang's work, the Kaifeng County Magistrate moved into the hall step by step with the adoption document in his hand.

Sweeping his eyes left and right, he handed it directly to Yang Jian. As soon as Yang Jian held it in his hand, Wu Shangshu strode over and extended a big slap.

"This is the adoption procedure of the old husband's stepdaughter, bring it here."

"..."

#####
Outside the Kaifeng county government office, at least hundreds of people saw a white-faced and beardless eunuch sending the proud Wu Shangshu away respectfully.

Soon, the news that Princess Maode, the beloved daughter of the official family who became a monk, was actually adopted by Wu Zhizhong, the Minister of Rites, suddenly became very popular.

With the power of lightning, it spread throughout Bianliang, Tokyo, and almost every Bianliang commoner saw his neighbors, relatives and friends, and the way of greeting him changed.

"Hey, have you heard that the beloved daughter of the official family was adopted by Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites?"

"Ouch, isn't the golden phoenix falling into the chicken coop?"

"...Auntie, your description is too much, Wu Shangshu is still a Shangshu, no matter what, he is better than a chicken coop, right?"

"That's right, it's much better than a chicken coop, but that Empress Maode, how hard she can think about it."

"That's right, if a good Diji doesn't do it, she insists on sending it to that old ashes."

"Ma'am, you are hard of hearing. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. If you spread the word, you may be sued."

"Why are you cheating on someone? I'm sixty-six in my seventies. I've already lived enough. Why do you have to cheat on someone to tell the truth?"

"..."

All in all, whether it is in the market place or in the circle of officials, Maode Diji's words have become the mainstream in Bianliang, Tokyo.

There are even unscrupulous tabloids that collect sensational gossip from Lifang in the market to attract people's attention.

The guards in Kaifeng County and even Kaifeng Mansion are going crazy, suppressing rumors and confiscating those messy tabloids.

But all of this will not affect the beautiful girl who has changed her name to Wu Fujin.

Seeing that the Buddhist attire, which had faded away from the green lantern ceremony and the long moon and embers, and returned to her normal daughter's attire, Maode Diji obediently greeted her elder brother Wu Yanfu there.

Up until this moment, Wu Zhizhong felt as if he was in a dream.

Wu Fujin came to the front and served tea to Wu Zhizhong, but he didn't see any movement from the other party for a long time, so he couldn't help saying softly.

"Father, did the daughter do something to displease her father?"

"Oh, how can I make it, Your Highness put it down quickly..."

"What the father said was unreasonable, and now the daughter has been adopted by the father.

Naturally, I should try my best to be a child, and I hope that my father will not be too polite..."

#####
"Father, my child never thought that I would have a younger sister in this life..."

Just returning to Beijing to report on his work, Wu Yanfu, who had just entered Bianliang, Tokyo, heard the news, looked at Wu Fujin who had resigned and went to rest, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitched happily, and then drooped down again.

"Father, wouldn't you offend the officials to death by doing this? What should we do?"

Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but cast a blank look at the only son at these words, and let out a muffled snort.

"This old man has his own calculations, so don't worry about it."

"Father, I'm your son. Can you not express your opinion on such a big matter?"

Wu Yanfu couldn't help retorting subconsciously.

"It's useless for you to express, tell the people in the house, don't disturb the palace, ahem, don't disturb your sister, if there is anything, just try to meet her request."

After finishing speaking, Wu Zhizhong stood up and walked out of the house.

"Father, where are you going?"

"I went out for my father's important business. You just came back, so you should stay at home and don't walk around casually. These days, there are quite a lot of people staring at our Wu residence."

Wu Yanfu couldn't stop his father even after calling him a few times, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

Forget it, my father is in his seventies and eighties, with a stubborn and violent temper, and he likes to do whatever.

But having said that, Wu Yanfu always felt that something was wrong. After all, the beloved daughter of the official family has now become the stepdaughter of his biological father.

Such a thing, not to mention this dynasty, even the previous dynasty did not encounter it, okay?
