The Summoning World of the Great Qin Empire

Chapter 1269

At that time, Mrs. Xu's life was only during the war and during the non-war period; her husband Xu Da was favored by Zhao Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, so he died in Fanyang City.

As for Mrs. Xu's thoughts, only when she took her daughter and wandered from the north to the south, I don't know how many times they encountered danger, the documents given to them by General Meng Tian played a role.

So Mrs. Xu and her daughter spent this month thinking about what to do at the beginning of the month, and at the end of the month to see if everything was done and done. If not, then continue to do it. Start thinking about the next thing.

Over the past few years, the mother and daughter have accomplished a lot of things, but there is one thing that the mother and daughter seem to ignore, and that is the lack of a man in the family.

It is naturally impossible for Mrs. Xu to remarry, and any woman at Mrs. Xu's age would be very happy to see her daughter find a good home.

If it wasn't for Mrs. Xu's family having a document from the current Marquis, I'm afraid Xu Miaoyun would have been forced to marry by the pavilion head; ancient courts would stipulate that women must marry when they reach a certain age. If they don't marry, then the woman's parents He will be punished; it is even possible that Shangguan directly recruits him to match him.

"I will find you a good family next year. Member Zhou in the next village has an only son. Although he is a scholar, his martial arts are not bad. Naturally, he can protect him well in the future."

Xu Miaoyun didn't speak anymore, thinking of winning invincible, she couldn't help but wiped off the water stains on her hands, reached out and touched the jade pendant...

"Boom! Boom..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard.

Mrs. Xu put down the movements in her hands, and as soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw the flames bursting into the sky outside the door.

"Miao Yun!"

Mrs. Xu was startled, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Xu Miaoyun stood up, and also noticed the firelight outside the courtyard.

"Mom, he's back."

He is His Royal Highness King Yan of Great Qin, the most honorable young man in the world.

Mrs. Xu managed to hold her breath, held a lantern in her hand, and opened the door. The young man who recovered his complexion looked at him with a smile on his face, and saluted with proper etiquette:
"Xiao Wang thanks Madam for saving her life."

"Thank you madam for saving my life!"

The warriors who couldn't see the end behind them knelt on one knee and said loudly; these people also felt that they were grateful from the bottom of their hearts. If they couldn't find Ying Wudi, the emperor might really kill them. This is absolutely true.

Mrs. Xu has been used to this kind of scene before, and her aura is naturally not weak, she just said indifferently: "The ancients said: people are born with good nature, and we, mother and daughter, should save the prince. I am also a subject of the King, so I don't know what the King is visiting late at night, so what is it?"

Ying Wudi straightened up, nodded his head and said: "My father has an imperial order, and I invite my wife to accept it."

Mrs. Xu was not embarrassed, she hesitated for three or four breaths, and finally nodded and said: "Please enter the humble house to announce the decree."

After finishing speaking, they greeted Xu Miaoyun, and the mother and daughter knelt together in the courtyard, Madam Xu in front and Xu Miaoyun behind, shouted together: "The grass people accept the order!"

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor issued an imperial edict: Miaoyun, a daughter of the Xu family, is invincible in saving my parents and children. I had previously said: "Whoever saves my son will be named a Marquis. Hereby, Miaoyun of Xu's family is conferred the title of Marquis of Qingshui. He does not need to go to the court to report on his duties and pass it on to three generations. "

"Mother?" Xu Miaoyun blushed and pulled Mrs. Xu's sleeve with her hands.

"Miaoyun still doesn't thank you!" Mrs. Xu's voice was emotionless.

Xu Miaoyun could only kowtow and say: "The grass people thank the Lord for your kindness!"

Zhou Shi said with a smile: "Master Hou, get up quickly, our army has brought thousands of guards, and the magistrate of Qingshui County will build a Hou Ye Mansion here in a few days, although it can only wear three generations, But from now on, this Marquis Mansion will always belong to your family."

"This lord is..." Mrs. Xu said.

Zhou Shi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "A certain person is Zhou Shi."

Mrs. Xu's complexion changed drastically, and she cupped her hands and said: "I'm sorry for being rude, I have seen Mrs. Zhou!"

Zhou Shi, the emperor's courtier who served both the government and the opposition, has a folk saying that a word from Zhou Shi can determine the lives of the people in a place.

It is said that when Qin State recaptured the land of Dukang from Qi State, Zhou Shi once told the emperor that the land of Dukang has been a rich land since the former Yan, and the tax can be increased as appropriate, so the tax in that place is higher than other places out a lot.

The name of Zhou Shi spread, and the people all over the world feared him very much.

"How dare you!" Zhou Shi hurriedly saluted, then turned around and ordered: "Set up camp on the spot, and don't disturb the female Marquis to rest!"

"Here!"

Several tall and burly warriors responded loudly, and then the army began to set up camp under the nameless mountain.

The people in the village came to inquire first, and only then did they know that it was the daughter of the Xu family who rescued His Highness King Yan from the water, and has been conferred the title of Marquis by the emperor.

Everyone was envious, and they all agreed to come to thank each other the next day.

Zhou Shi cupped his hands and said, "Mrs. Xu, can I take a step to speak."

Mrs. Xu nodded slightly, and ordered Xu Miaoyun to lead King Yan to the inner hall.

Zhou Shi and Mrs. Xu walked to the east wing, and after they were seated, they lit a brazier and began to talk.

"Mrs. Xu is not a woman from an ordinary family, so I'll just say it straight."

After Madam Xu heard this, she nodded slightly: "It's okay to speak frankly, my lord."

Zhou Shi said: "I don't know if the Marquis of Qingshui ever got married?"

"No." On such a matter, Mrs. Xu naturally did not dare to lie, so she would go out and ask someone casually, and she would naturally know.

When the power reaches a certain level, no one will lie under such monstrous power.

Zhou Shi arched his hands and said, "It's really a bit abrupt, and I don't know how old Qingshuihou Fang is?"

"As soon as this year passes, it turns out to be twenty." Mrs. Xu's breathing became a little short. A woman who can lead a daughter to live a good life is naturally a smart person.

It is definitely not that Zhou Shi has taken a fancy to his own daughter. Although Zhou Shi is fully engaged in the government and the public, this is all relative; before his daughter became the Marquis of Qingshui, he was just a small bug in front of Zhou Shi, but now But he has already stood at the same height as Zhou Shi.

"King Yan has taken a fancy to Xiaoyun?" Mrs. Xu asked suddenly.

Zhou Shi was taken aback, and then said: "Mrs. Xu is really smart. The King of Yan is grateful for the life-saving grace of Marquis Qingshui, so he hopes to marry your daughter as Princess Yan!"

"Princess Yan?" Mrs. Xu looked suspicious: "You mean, King Yan has never been married so far?"

"It's natural." Zhou Shi said solemnly: "King Yan has always been in the army. As far as I know, he has never had a skin relationship with any woman. Zhou can guarantee this."
