Chapter 781 When will the marriage be granted?

Ying Tianze thought that County Magistrate Qiu wanted to help him, so he naturally extended his hand.

What Ying Tianze never expected was that County Magistrate Qiu would walk up to him, gather all his strength, and slap him in the face!

Ying Tianze was slapped in the face so hard that his face twisted to the side, his head was buzzing, and he was completely stunned!

Ying Yuqiong was also stunned by this slap!

In fact, not to mention the Ying brothers and sisters, even the runners brought by County Magistrate Qiu were all dumbfounded!

They thought that County Magistrate Qiu had brought them here to help the Ying siblings. After all, they had gotten whatever they wanted in Mapo County a few days ago. County Magistrate Qiu had always been willing to help the Ying siblings. A runner even heard that Young Master Ying had taken a liking to a concubine that County Magistrate Qiu had just married, and County Magistrate Qiu had offered her to her without hesitation.

It is no exaggeration to say that County Magistrate Qiu treats the Ying brothers and sisters as gold nuggets!

Just like that, why did County Magistrate Qiu suddenly slap that precious golden nugget in the face? !

It looks like he didn't hold back, he hit me hard!

"Are you crazy?!" Ying Tianze came back to his senses, furious, his eyes full of resentment!

Qiu County Commander was filled with grief and anguish: "Tian Ze! I see you are still drunk! You used to be an honest and kind child, how could you do such a thing?!"

Ying Tianze's anger was suppressed by what Qiu County Order said.

Honest and kind?!

who?!

he?!

Ying Yuqiong was also stunned.

No, honest and kind? Does her second brother have any connection with these two people? !

Before Ying Tianze and Ying Yuqiong could figure it out, the siblings saw Qiu County Magistrate, who usually treated them with kindness and concern, sighing at them with deep hatred and grief, then turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of Xingxing: "I am Qiu Shanyin, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet you, the princess."

As soon as the word "Princess" was uttered, everyone present, except Qiu Shanyin, Xing Xing, and Wei Shiyan, was stunned. The whole place was silent and you could hear a pin drop.

The expression on Ying Tianze's face was very strange.

He knew that Qiu Shanyin would not dare to fool him with such a thing.

so……

Ying Tianze turned his neck stiffly and looked at Xing Xing.

There was even a creaking sound in the neck.

"You...Princess...you..." He couldn't even speak clearly.

Xing Xing ignored Ying Tianze and looked at Qiu Shanyin.

The girl had a half-smile on her face: "County Magistrate Qiu, these two people are closely related to you?"

Qiu Shanyin broke out in cold sweat on his back.

He knew he couldn't just keep making excuses.

Qiu Shanyin looked distressed: "Yes, in reply to the princess, these two are the children of my master. They came to Mapo County to play, but they never thought that they would offend the princess... Fortunately, the princess is fine, otherwise, I would be blamed for this."

Xingxing said "Oh".

"No problem? How does County Magistrate Qiu know that this princess is fine?" Xing Xing said, "This lunatic spoke wildly to this princess, and this princess was quite frightened."

After hearing these words, Qiu County Magistrate felt that his cold sweat was pouring down even more.

This means that I don't want to let it go easily.

Qiu County Commander looked at Ying Tianze and Ying Yuqiong with cold sweat.

The slap he just gave was actually intended to take the initiative and let the princess not take it too seriously since he had already hit someone.

"My Lord..." County Commander Qiu's face was grim. He gritted his teeth and asked, "My Lord, how do you want to punish me?"

Xing Xing smiled and said, "Your Excellency County Magistrate, you are too kind. My friend has already helped me vent my anger about their verbal offenses. However, these two are the children of County Magistrate Qiu's teacher, but they behave in such a way that makes people doubt the tutors in County Magistrate Qiu's house, and then doubt the character of County Magistrate Qiu's teacher. This is really not good... County Magistrate Qiu, don't you agree?"

Xingxing's tone was light and flirtatious, but County Magistrate Qiu's face turned pale when he heard it.

His tutor was the chief examiner when he took the college entrance examination. In the past two years, he was expected to be promoted to a higher rank. At this juncture, if he received such a verdict from Princess Fusui - Princess Fusui would make a few more remarks about him in front of the emperor, and his path to promotion would be cut off...

I’m afraid his master will be able to twist his head off!

Looking at County Magistrate Qiu's expression, Xing Xing suddenly smiled again.

She said this deliberately, actually just to test him.

"Oh, by the way, my friend's husband offended Miss Ying yesterday and was imprisoned by Master Ying." Xing Xing changed the subject and smiled, "I want to ask, how did my friend's husband, Tian Dalei, offend Miss Ying?"

How could Ying Yuqiong dare to offend the princess? She turned pale and no longer had the arrogance and domineering attitude she had before. She said timidly, "...He, he bumped into my maid..."

Yamei was still in shock that Xingxing was actually the princess. When she heard Ying Yuqiong say this, she couldn't help but shout out, "Bumped into him?... Just because of this, you put him in jail?!"

Ying Yuqiong looked a little aggrieved: "Such a rough man bumped into my maid. I asked him to kneel down and apologize, but he still quarreled with me!... What's wrong with me giving him a lesson?"

Ya Mei'er's eyes turned red with anger, her body was shaking slightly, and she was unable to speak.

Qiu County Magistrate immediately shouted: "This is ridiculous!"

County Magistrate Qiu turned around and told the yamen runners, "I was so busy with my official duties yesterday that I didn't even know there was such a ridiculous thing!... Go quickly and release the Tian Tian who was wrongly imprisoned yesterday!"

He groaned a few times, but really couldn't remember the name, so he vaguely used "Tian Zhuangshi" instead.

Ying Yuqiong's face turned red and blue, but she didn't dare to say a word.

Tian Dalei was released soon.

When he came out, he was still a little dazed, with a few pieces of straw stuck on his head.

He looked fine, except that he limped when he walked, and it was obvious that he had suffered some physical pain.

Yamei went up to him with red eyes: "Brother Lei!"

Tian Dalei's eyes widened: "Ya Mei'er, why are you here? ... They, they caught you too?"

Yamei wanted to cry and laugh at the same time: "No, it was Xingxing who saved you..."

The young couple had just reunited, and Qiu County Magistrate smiled and said, "Princess, this man has also been released. What do you think about this matter..."

Xingxing took a few steps forward.

Ying Tianze and Ying Yuqiong both visibly shrank back.

County Magistrate Qiu had to put on a smile but he was extremely nervous, fearing that Xing Xing might do something.

Xing Xing asked: "When you bully others by taking advantage of your power, have you ever thought that there are times when you can't stop bullying others?"

She straightened up and said calmly, "I will write to your father and ask him how he educated his children."

As soon as these words came out, Qiu County Magistrate could not help but let out a "hiss", and the faces of the siblings Ying Tianze and Ying Yuqiong changed.

Ying Tianze and Ying Yuqiong, brother and sister, both knew that given their father's temper, he would be worried all day long because of this letter. The obvious solution was to "discipline" these troublesome children and let this damn princess vent her anger.

In other words, when they return home, kneeling in the ancestral hall is the least they will receive. They will probably be severely beaten...

Of course, it could be several tons.

Ying Tianze and Ying Yuqiong both looked pale.

County Magistrate Qiu was sweating coldly and smiled apologetically: "The princess is right, the princess is very right... Look, how about I hold a banquet at the best restaurant in our county to apologize to the princess and her friends, would the princess do me the honor?"

Xing Xing refused bluntly: "No need, we need to go back and rest. And I have other things to do today."

County Magistrate Qiu naturally did not dare to force it, and nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I will send someone to harness the carriage to take the princess back."

Xing Xing frowned even more: "No need, we have a carriage. If County Magistrate Qiu is free, he can also write a letter to your master and give some advice on the upbringing of the young masters and young ladies in your master's house."

This was a very impolite remark, and Qiu County Magistrate's face turned pale.

Xing Xing looked at Ya Mei'er who had been supporting Tian Da Lei: "...How is your husband?"

Tian Dalei was prepared to be tortured, but he didn't expect that his wife's friend turned into a princess and came back to save him.

Tian Dalei was still in a daze at the moment. When he heard Xing Xing asking Ya Mei'er, he quickly said, "I, I'm fine. I have thick skin, so a little skin injury is not a big deal."

Before Xing Xing opened her mouth, Qiu County Magistrate spoke up quickly, "This strong man is in jail because the son of my master's family is ignorant and naive! In this case, I will pay for the treatment of this strong man, I will pay for it!"

County Magistrate Qiu was almost patting his chest so hard that it shook the sky.

Yamei shuddered and didn't dare to respond.

This Qiu County Magistrate is indeed a high-ranking official!

Tian Dalei was still hesitating.

Xing Xing made the decision for them and nodded, "Okay. County Magistrate Qiu is really thoughtful."

Qiu County Magistrate was overjoyed, as he had finally found a place to make up for his shortfall.

Qiu County Magistrate said earnestly: "It's right, it's right. Moreover, this strong man... suffered this misfortune in prison for no reason. It can be regarded as my negligence. I must make compensation."

Xingxing didn't comment.

Yamei was a little nervous.

County Magistrate Qiu is a corrupt official, should he compensate them?

This...can I have this?

Yamei looked at Xingxing anxiously. Xingxing seemed to understand what she was thinking and nodded slightly at her - this is what you deserve.

With Xingxing's attitude, Yamei'er dared to accept the compensation sent by Qiu County Order - a tray covered with a red cloth.

Yamei mustered up her courage, stepped forward and lifted the red cover, her hands shaking.

There were ten silver ingots on the tray!

That silver ingot, one ingot is at least ten taels of silver. In other words, this is one hundred taels of silver!

Yamei was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly, and said in a panic: "This, this won't do. I can't do this. Even if I go to see the best doctor and buy the best medicine to treat it, it won't cost so much money."

Qiu County Magistrate looked kind and gentle: "It's what I should do. You should give some extra compensation. It's not good for your man to suffer the disaster of imprisonment in vain."

Ya Mei'er and her husband Tian Dalei are both simple farmers, and they both feel that this money is very hot.

Yamei looked at Xingxing with some embarrassment and lowered her voice: "...Xingxing, please help me talk to County Magistrate Qiu. We really can't take so much. Otherwise, what kind of people would we be?"

Xing Xing did not lower her voice. She said, "It's okay. Take as much as you want. This is County Magistrate Qiu's sincere apology on behalf of Master Ying and Miss Ying."

Xing Xing raised her eyes and looked at Qiu County Magistrate, "Qiu County Magistrate, is that right?"

County Magistrate Qiu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Yamei hesitated again and again.

She actually felt that even one silver ingot was too much.

Ya Mei'er whispered something to Tian Dalei, and the young couple finally chose one tablet.

"One tablet is enough." said Ya Mei'er.

Qiu County Magistrate praised: "You two are truly noble and upright. Highly upright and upright."

Ying Tianze's eyes showed a hint of disdain.

He is really a peasant who doesn't even dare to take the money that is delivered to his door!

Ya Mei'er and Tian Dalei don't care what Ying Tianze thinks, they just want to have a clear conscience.

After settling the compensation issue, Xing Xing no longer cared about County Magistrate Qiu's earnest attempts to keep her, and returned to Nantuo Village with Ya Mei'er and Tian Da Lei.

On the way back to the village, Yamei was a little reserved towards Xingxing.

Princess, in Yamei'er's opinion, that is a very high-ranking official!

Not to mention Tian Dalei.

He is still a little confused.

Xingxing smiled helplessly.

She knew this would happen, so she concealed her identity.

Fortunately, when they were almost at Nantuo Village, Yamei had adjusted her mindset. She held Xingxing's hand and thanked her sincerely, "Xingxing, thank you so much."

Xingxing looked at Yamei'er who took the initiative to shake her hand, and her eyes sparkled with a smile.

After sending Ya Mei'er and Tian Dalei home, Xing Xing took Wei Shiyan directly back to the Yu family's old house.

Yu Yonggui took Qingshuang to play by the creek and left a message, saying that when Xingxing and the others came back, he would send someone to look for them by the creek, and then they would go to the Yu family ancestral hall together.

Today is the highlight.

Xingxing and Yu Yonggui returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors and prepared a three-day buffet at the Yu family ancestral hall.

As two youngsters, there was no need for them to go there so early.

Anyway, the money has been spent, and the tribesmen will help them make all the arrangements.

…

Inside the palace.

Ever since Empress Nie learned from the Crown Prince that Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan had started their journey home, she has been counting the days beside the map every day to figure out where Xing Xing and Wei Shiyan are.

Xing Xing was very considerate. She would urge Wei Shiyan to write a letter home to report his safety almost every time he arrived at a post station. As a result, Wei Shiyan received one letter after another during this period.

During this time, Wei Shiqing was in a very sunny mood as he received letters from home one after another. The officials of the Eastern Palace all felt that their Crown Prince had been in such a good mood recently that he was like the Buddha Maitreya.

Queen Nie was also very happy.

Although most family letters consisted of only a few sentences, Empress Nie was thinking that she would soon meet her second son, whom she had not seen for more than ten years and whom she owed a lot to, so she read those few words over and over again until she was almost dizzy with them.

"Ayan's family letter said that he and Xingxing went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors." Empress Nie looked at the newly arrived letter with a smile on her face. She turned around and urged Emperor Jiazheng, "The ancestors have already been worshipped. When will you issue an edict to grant the marriage?"

Emperor Jiazheng was helpless: "At least... after the two children return to Beijing, ask for their opinions first, right?"

"Ayan is definitely willing." Queen Nie said without hesitation, "I am Ayan's mother. How can I not know what my child is thinking? ... Moreover, Xingxing is willing to take risks for Ayan. How can I betray such a friendship?"
