Chapter 152: Lord of Fude Village
East room.
After hearing County Magistrate Zheng's solemn words, Old Man Su hesitated for a moment, and his head began to feel dizzy due to the alcohol.
"Brother Su, don't you believe in your brother's character? Are you afraid that our family will treat Fu Ya harshly in the future?" County Magistrate Zheng asked.
Old Man Su shook his head repeatedly, "Absolutely not!"
"Then this marriage..." County Magistrate Zheng looked at Old Man Su eagerly.
Old Man Su got excited and said, "In that case, Brother will..."
"Let's wait until the two children are older, then we can discuss it later." Prefect Xia had an idea and interrupted Old Man Su directly.
County Magistrate Zheng: “…”
Old Man Su, “…”
The two of them looked at Governor Xia at the same time.
County Magistrate Zheng looked puzzled. "Sir, what do you mean?"
Didn’t you not object just now?
Why are you jumping out to cause trouble now?
Magistrate Xia's eyes flashed, and he said, "Fuya is also my goddaughter, so I have the right to inquire about her marriage."
"My master is right. We should love Fu Ya as our own daughter." Tian lifted the curtain and walked in with Old Madam Su.
Although I know it is rude for them to barge in like this, I have to act in an emergency and don't care about etiquette and rules now.
Old Madam Su also said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord County Magistrate. However, there is a huge gap between our two families. Tang Bao is just a little girl from the countryside. I really don't dare to marry the son of Lord County Magistrate."
After saying that, he glared at Old Man Su calmly.
County Magistrate Zheng looked at this and then at that, and felt that all his plans for the day had gone to waste.
**
Magistrate Xia's urgent memorial was quickly sent to the capital.
At the same time, a secret letter flew from Daliushu Village to the palace.
Both the memorial and the secret letter mentioned the gold mine and the Su family.
However, the secret letter also specifically mentioned the Su family’s little girl, Tang Bao.
Soon, the mighty general Yang Yong led his troops to take over the gold mine.
Also coming was a father-in-law who was delivering the imperial edict.
After arriving in Fengqi County, General Shenwu went to the county government office.
The father-in-law who delivered the imperial edict came to the Su family.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Tang Bao, the daughter of the Su family, is gifted and intelligent... She is hereby appointed the Lord of Fude Township. This is my decree!"
Eunuch Li, who delivered the imperial edict, read out the imperial edict in his unique feminine and sharp voice.
The Su family was stunned.
The emperor actually knew his own little girl and appointed her as the village chief.
This canonization came too suddenly.
"Haha... Lord Fude, please accept the order." Eunuch Li said with a smile.
Little Tangbao quickly stood up and took the shining imperial edict with both hands.
It turns out that this is the legendary imperial edict.
Little Tangbao looked down at the imperial edict in his hand, his eyes curved with smile.
I have also been a member of the imperial edict.
Little Tangbao raised his head, looked at Eunuch Li, and said sweetly, "Thank you, uncle. You have worked hard all the way."
Eunuch Li looked at the little girl in front of him and immediately fell in love with her.
This little girl is so cute.
Moreover, at such a young age, he is so polite and good at speaking.
No wonder he was named the village chief by the emperor.
Old Man Su quickly invited Eunuch Li into the house for tea.
Eunuch Li waved his hand and said, "Master Su, you don't have to be polite. We have old friends here. After meeting them, we will return to the palace to report."
When Old Man Su heard this, he didn't dare to force him to stay.
He took out a purse from his bosom and stuffed it into Eunuch Li's hand.
"My father-in-law has had a hard time on this journey. Please buy some tea."
Eunuch Li did not refuse and accepted it calmly.
He came all the way from the capital to convey the imperial edict, so of course he had to receive some hard-earned money.
After leaving the Su family, Eunuch Li, along with the eunuch and coachman, went directly to the big house at the entrance of the village.
In the big house, Xuanyuan Jin frowned immediately when he heard that Xiao Tangbao was canonized as the village chief.
"Just a village chief?"
Anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.
Wang Zhong said cautiously, "Yes."
"Too stingy!" Xuanyuan Jin looked disgusted.
Wang Zhong, “…”
He wouldn't dare to respond even if he was beaten to death.
**
Daliushu Village was boiling again.
The excitement was even greater than when the Su family gave birth to a daughter.
Fu Ya from their village was actually named the village chief!
No! It was the Emperor in the palace who actually knew about Daliushu Village!
No, no! It was the emperor in the palace who actually knew there was a Fu Ya in their village!
No, no, no! It’s their Daliushu Village. A big shot has emerged!
——Lord of Fude Village!
"Oh my God! The Su family really gave birth to a golden phoenix!"
"Who says no? Fuya is indeed a child with great fortune and luck!"
"What did I say back then? What that old fortune teller said back then has come true, right?"
"That's right, the Su family has a daughter, and they are really rich!"
"I'm not just making money, I'm making a lot of money!"
"Let's go, let's go and pay our respects to the village chief!"
"Yes, yes, go quickly and share in the village chief's blessings..."
The people of the entire Daliushu Village flocked to the Su family with excitement on their faces.
At this time, the old Su family was also in high spirits, exuding a sense of joy from the inside out.
There is no way, my little girl is actually someone with a banned title!
Listen, the two words "Fu De" are so wonderful!
It not only shows that one's daughter is blessed, but also shows that one's daughter has noble moral character.
"Aunt, are you a high-ranking official?" Da Pan asked eagerly, "Can a woman also be a high-ranking official?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
How should she explain this to her nephew?
Er Pan also asked with sparkling eyes, "Aunt, who has a higher rank between you and the county magistrate?"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
She doesn't know.
Da Pan said, "If you were a high-ranking official, he would definitely not dare to bully you!"
Er Pan said, "If he bullies you, you can just order my father to beat him up and then put him in jail!"
Little Sugar Baby, "..."
It seems that her two older nephews still remember the heartfelt metaphor she used that day.
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Su quickly scolded her two grandsons.
"Don't talk nonsense! The county magistrate is a good official and won't bully anyone!"
Children do not know the seriousness of the matter and speak without restraint.
If I say such things outside, won’t it bring trouble to my family?
"Grandma, don't worry, we won't say these things outside. We are not stupid." Da Pan said.
"Yeah, I won't tell you!" Erpan nodded.
Old Mrs. Su, “…”
I feel that my two grandsons are quite smart.
However, when Old Mrs. Su looked at her little daughter, her mood became complicated again.
She always wanted her little girl to keep a low profile.
But now, even the emperor who is thousands of miles away knows about it.
How can you be so low-key?
Moreover, she felt that the more her family wanted her daughter to keep a low profile, the more famous she became.
Although the rank of a village chief is not high, he has a salary and a title.
I wonder how many girls from wealthy families will envy her.
I'm afraid it won't be long before more and more people know about my daughter.
Old Mrs. Su was filled with complicated feelings, but Old Man Su held the imperial edict in both hands, smiling from ear to ear.
"Dad, our family actually has an imperial edict!" Brother Su looked at the imperial edict in Old Man Su's hand with a look of worship on his face.
"Dad, this is what the imperial edict looks like!" Su Xiaoliu exclaimed, "Dad, can I touch it?"
"Go away, what if you break it?" said Old Man Su.
After saying that, he saw that his eldest son also looked like he wanted to touch it.
Several daughters-in-law also looked at the imperial edict with eager eyes.
Old Man Su thought for a moment and said, "After the gate is locked at night, the whole family will touch it one by one."
Su Xiaoliu's eyes lit up.
"Okay! Dad! When the time comes, we'll open the imperial edict, read it carefully, and then touch it carefully..."
Old Man Su nodded.
Of course you have to take a good look at it.
At the very least, the whole family had to memorize the contents of the imperial edict.
These are all words of praise for one's little daughter.
