Chapter 176
"You ask her to go to the palace banquet three days later." Xiao Huang said, "It's the Meng family's savior, so it's only natural for her to attend."

Li Quansheng was startled: "The servant understands."

It seems that the Holy Majesty really valued this fifth girl of Chu, what an honor it is to be able to participate in the palace banquet, I don't know how many noble daughters from aristocratic families will die with envy.

In the end, it is the young master who has face, otherwise the attitude of the Holy Majesty would not have changed so much in such a short period of time.

But it was said that Chuzhang was specifically mentioned by the sixth prince about the captivity of the Meng family girl in the court hall, only to find out that it was his daughter who rescued the Meng family girl, he was shocked, scared and happy.

After returning, he immediately called Chu Zhi to the study room and asked him carefully.

Chu Zhi knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told him everything, but kept the veil away, saying that he was lured aside, knocked unconscious and taken away.

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Chu Zhang couldn't help reprimanding, "Who are those people from the Ma Clan? They're bandits! With that three-legged feline skill, they don't want to protect themselves, but save others. What if something happens?"

Fortunately, there was no business trip, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Chu Zhi was not fooling around, she had full confidence in being able to follow her plan back then, but Chu Zhang is already angry now, so these words must not be said anymore, otherwise it would only add fuel to the fire.

Knowing that his father was worried about comforting him, Chu Zhi frowned: "My daughter knows."

Chu Zhang feels guilty and unfamiliar with this daughter. After all, he has lacked 12 years of getting along with each other. No matter how close they are, they are still testing each other.

It's just that she's a little girl after all, if she doesn't take the opportunity to beat her up and tell her to remember well, she won't know how daring she will be in the future.

"you--"

"My lord! My lord! The imperial decree has arrived!" As soon as Chu Zhang spoke, he was interrupted by the butler rushing over, "The nobles in the palace have come to announce the decree!"

Chu Zhang's heart trembled suddenly, he didn't care about anything, he hurriedly invited the father-in-law who announced the decree to the main hall, and waited on him. Yangyang knelt down on the ground.

The father-in-law cleared his throat and muttered in a high-pitched voice: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Chu Zhi, the fifth daughter of Dali Zheng Chuzhang, is soft and beautiful, has both ability and political integrity, and has extraordinary courage. In my heart, I am specially conferred the honorary title of fourth-rank county lord, bestowed the title of Fu'an, and can house ten guards, plus a thousand taels of gold, thirty bolts of silk, a few hectares of fertile land, and the salary of the county lord, this is my honor!"

"Master Fu'an County, accept the order!"

As early as the moment when the imperial decree was read out, everyone was dumbfounded. They only knew that the imperial decree had come, and they thought it was Chu Zhang who had been promoted again, and that his heart had just been promoted and he was promoted again. Unexpectedly, it was Chu Zhi who was named the head of the county and had a title.

Only Chu Zhang and Chu Yan knew that Chu Zhi was enshrined. The others didn't know the inside story, but felt that the edict came out of nowhere, and everyone was dizzy.

Surprisingly, there was also Chu Zhi.

She never expected that the Holy Majesty would grant her a county head.

She was dazed for only a moment, she collected her expression, and respectfully kowtowed: "My daughter Chu Zhi kowtows to Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Being led by Chu Zhi like this, everyone kowtowed as if they had just woken up from a dream.

After everyone got up, the little father-in-law said with a smile: "Thanks to the Lord of Fu'an County for saving the girl from the Meng family, the Holy Majesty specially ordered you to attend the palace banquet in three days' time!"

Chu Zhi smiled softly, calmly and indifferently: "Thank you, Eunuch."

After finishing speaking, he quickly delivered the prepared gift.

The things she prepared were all given by Han Zhan before, and Han Zhan's were all from the palace. Naturally, they were good things. Knowing the ceremony, I can't help but feel good about it.

Then I added one more sentence: "If the county lord really wants to thank you, you should thank the young master!"

This little father-in-law is Li Quansheng's apprentice, Xiao Lizi. If his master hadn't specially instructed him, he would not have reminded Chu Zhi. Knowing that this man in front of him is a man of great fortune, he had a very good attitude.

After the people in the palace were sent away, everyone in the mansion had different expressions, among which the old lady was the happiest.

He took Chu Zhi's hand and said "good" a few times.

First, Qing'er was married to the Marquis of Yongxing as his wife, then Xi'er was favored by the fourth prince, and now Zhi'er was canonized as the county head. She had a premonition that the Chu family would be squeezed into the ranks of aristocratic families in the future.

Not to mention that Yan'er is now famous and has a bright future.

Chu Zhi offered a reward, and Chu Zhang had to swallow the words that Chu Zhang originally wanted to reprimand.

The county head of the fourth rank is higher than his rank, and Chu Zhang really doesn't know what to say.

After a long time, he said in a complicated way: "Since you are entrusted, it means that it is your good fortune, but you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, and you must not be so reckless."

Chu Zhi nodded: "Daughter remembers father's teachings."

No one expected Chu Zhi to receive this honor, and what surprised Chu Zhi was that Chu Xi was the first among all the brothers and sisters to congratulate her.

"Congratulations, sister." Chu Xi smiled, with complicated eyes, "I won the position of county head."

Only she knew how sour her words of congratulations were.

It is clear that she grew up in the Chu Mansion. Since she was a child, she was proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but because she was not of her own blood, she was ranked last. She watched Chu Zhi become more and more favored, and now she is even sealed by the Holy Lord himself. As the county head, with this honor, Chu Zhi will only go further and climb higher in the future.

A person who was originally not as good as you turned out to be more attractive and outstanding than you. Such a gap made Chu Xi breathless.

Even if she didn't want to admit it, it was undeniable that Chu Zhi's luck was indeed very good.

And the moment she returned to the mansion in Chu Zhi, all the good luck had been used up, and the rest could only be depended on herself.

Chu Xi bit her lips tightly, trying to stabilize her mind, she told herself that no matter what, she must congratulate Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi's eyes darkened a little, but the smile on his face remained unchanged: "Thank you, Sixth Sister."

After Chu Xi, the other sisters also chatted non-stop around Chu Zhi, and when they returned to the yard, it was already dusk.

The faces of the servants in the yard were full of joy, and congratulations continued.

Chu Zhi asked Dong'er to seal the reward, and after the crowd had dispersed, Dong'er surrounded Chu Zhi excitedly and said, "Young lady has now become the head of the county, not to mention the salary, and the guards, what an honor it is! "

Qian Momo also said excitedly: "Yes, His Majesty gave you the title of 'Fu'an', which shows that he attaches great importance to you. To be honest, if it is really according to the etiquette, the old lady will see the girl in the future. To salute."

"With the imperial decree and the honor of the county lord, girl, you can also marry a good family. After all, you have been praised by the sage himself. The aristocratic family in the capital pays great attention to a woman's character and reputation. In this way, who dares to be inferior Look at you."
