Fast Traveling Underworld Wish Department

Chapter 385
There are many versions of the story in Pingcheng because of the injury of the county king. The county magistrate waited anxiously for the final result, while insisting on tracking down the real culprit without giving up, making the final struggle.

In Pingcheng now, there is anxiety in the calmness, but it can be regarded as a temporary calmness.Strangers come and go, and the locals continue to live their lives, using those novel things as a source of conversation, and passing through boring days every day.

In a restaurant in Pingcheng, several wealthy families gathered together and talked about the Xiao family, and they were all envious.

The head of the Li family said: "If I knew it was the princess and the county king, I would let the dog go with me no matter what."

The head of the Chen family said: "Who knows, the Xiao family seems to be going to develop, and the nobleman will help the Xiao family a little bit, and the Xiao family will be different."

Patriarch Yu sighed, "Time is fate, my kid also went to the brothel, but he was only punished."

Cough, there are unfilial sons in every family, so let's not talk about this issue any more.The head of the Nan family said: "My little girl is just about to get married. I heard that nephew Xiao Xian is handsome and chic. He and my little girl are really a rare match."

Everyone looked at Patriarch Nan, who said before that the Xiao family was useless, and the county magistrate would regret it if he married a daughter?
Patriarch Nan also remembered what he had said, and coughed a little guilty.

Then he said confidently: "Either the county magistrate deserves to be the county magistrate, the scholar has a good eye, and he could see that nephew Xiao Xian was not a good thing when he was still lurking. Although I am short-sighted, but now I realize that I don't know." Night."

As expected of you, Patriarch Nan, you can swallow your own words.

All the patriarchs thought about their daughters in their hearts, even if they didn't have one, there were some in the clan.Don't say being a concubine is not respectable, it also depends on whose concubine it is, being the concubine of a nobleman is very dignified.

I just don't know how expensive Xiao's son, oh no, nephew Xiao Xian can be.Let's take a look again, don't give away a girl for nothing.

In addition to rich households, ordinary people will also chat about these gossips.Apart from the injury of the county king, everyone talked about Xiao Jiazi incidentally. It is said that he has won the favor of the county king and has a bright future in the future.

Everyone was surprised, everyone in Pingcheng knew who the Xiao family was.

A womanizer, a frequent visitor to brothels, he can't wait to bring home all the beauties in Pingcheng.

He often gambled and was a frequent visitor to the gambling shop, and lost a lot of family wealth, which caused Patriarch Xiao to chase him more than once.

Arrogant and domineering, like a domineering crab, wandering around with dog legs, harming people depending on his mood.

Such a person cannot be said to be heinous, but he is always a very annoying object.Although he visibly changed for the better after marrying his wife, his nature is hard to change.Xiao's son, that's a rotten log, mud that can't support the wall.

If he can become a noble person, then so can we. After all, we are hardworking and capable, diligent, honest and honest, and we are all responsible people and never harm others.

Xiao Zhu didn't know what was going on among the people, but he knew very well that someone from the Nan family actually wanted to give his daughter to him as a concubine.

Father Xiao was stunned, and asked again and again: "Brother Nan, are you joking?"

I know the virtues of my son. Marrying a daughter-in-law is a mistake. He used to be a wealthy family in Pingcheng, but he didn't even care about the status of his son's wife. Now he is a concubine?

So it was really a joke. Father Xiao was annoyed. Although his son was not good enough, it was not a reason for outsiders to laugh at him.It's not enough to ridicule behind the back, but to come face-to-face, it's really tolerable, what can't be tolerated!

Father Xiao suddenly got up, and said angrily: "Brother Nan, our two families are quite similar, and we have cooperated a lot. Now you are humiliating my Xiao family like this. Hmph, Nan Yi, let's wait and see!"

No, wait, when did the old man humiliate your Xiao family, making your daughter a concubine is humiliating your Xiao family?Well, you old man Xiao, you don’t even want the Nan family’s daughter to be a concubine, so why would you have to have the county magistrate’s daughter to be your son’s concubine? It’s not an insult to your Xiao family!
The head of the Nan family was also angry, "Well, you Xiao family, if you are developed, you will be defiant. In the past, I really misjudged you."

Xiao Zhu just came over to greet Xiao's father, and saw both of them turned their faces to one side, sitting angrily, neither of them got up.

He couldn't help asking: "Father, Uncle Nan, what's the matter? Don't be so angry. "

The head of the Nan family forcibly forced a smile, and said gently: "Nephew Xiao Xian, you have also met the girl from my Nan family, what do you think of her being your concubine?"

Xiao Zhu had a stern look on his face, "Uncle Xiao, the Xiao family's sister is naturally very nice, but I swore when I got married that I would never be dissatisfied. You also know that my wife has been greatly wronged for marrying me. , I can’t let her be wronged anywhere else. So I have to live up to your kindness.”

Patriarch Nan saw Xiao Zhu's stern expression, not perfunctory, and he felt puzzled in his heart, the colorless and displeased person has changed his temper, is this the sun coming out from the west?
He could only say dryly: "My nephew is really a beloved wife."

After Xiao Zhu's words got out, no matter whether it was true or not, it was difficult for those who wanted to send a girl to come to his door for the time being.

A few months after the letter from King Xunyang, an envoy from the capital visited Xiao's house.The emperor was grateful for Xiao Zhu's kindness in saving his nephew, and named Xiao Zhu the Marquis of Honor.

After the emissary announced the decree, he said to Xiao Zhu: "At first the reward was not so high, after all, it's not easy to be a marquis. The king of the small county begged for a long time in the palace, and he asked the empress dowager, empress empress, and eldest princess to persuade him, and the emperor agreed. "

Xiao Zhu praised the king of Xunyang with a smile on his face, and then asked about the current situation of the king.The messenger said with a smile: "Marquis Rong En, don't worry, the county king is fine now. The imperial doctor said that as long as you take care of it, you will be similar to ordinary people in the future."

The Xiao family was all stunned, especially Xiao's father, who had been longing for a change of family for so long, and seeing his son's virtue had already given up his wish powerlessly, and it suddenly came true.Yes, it was quite sudden.

Xiao Zhu said: "Father, I have already said that I will definitely be successful, did I lie to you?"

"Grandpa, grandma, mother, sister, daughter-in-law, I have already said that I want you to be proud of me, did I lie to you?"

The Xiao family all said: "No lie, no lie, my good grandson/son/brother/husband is awesome."

Xiao Zhu became the Marquis of Rong En, and achieved a rapid leap in class, and even people in ten years of poverty could not compare to this leap.Grandpa Xiao made a decision, "It's going to be a big event, let everyone come and see our Lord Hou, and see who dares to speak ill of our grandson in the future!"

In fact, after it was reported that Xiao Zhu was appreciated by the nobles, no one would say anything bad, but Grandpa Xiao's previous shadow was too deep, and he vowed to justify his good grandson's name.

As the saying goes, a family is happy, but a family is sad.When the Xiao family was celebrating happily, the county magistrate had been temporarily dismissed. The reason for the temporary dismissal was because the emperor asked the new county magistrate to investigate, and finally decided whether to drive the former county magistrate back to his hometown or demote him.

The Xiao family held a grand banquet, inviting dignitaries from all over the city, as well as old friends and relatives.The banquet was harmonious and harmonious. No matter whether there was any conflict with the Xiao family, there will definitely be no conflicts from now on.

Although Chang Ruchuan didn't wear imperial clothes, the clothes on her body were made of the thinnest moonlight gauze, and the hairpin and ring jewelry was also embellished with high-quality pearls and jade.

Originally, as a merchant's wife, the daughter of a low-level official could not wear, wear, or eat anything that could be exposed openly.

The current county magistrate's wife greeted Chang Ru with a smile, and also called out respectfully: "Mrs. Hou."

Many unmarried women surrounded Chang Ru, smiling cutely, hoping to get a compliment from Mrs. Hou to increase her marriage advantage.Chang Ru is well aware of this, after all, she would do the same when she was a girl, her attitude is kind, her words are gentle, and she is like everyone else.

Maybe it won't stand out in the capital, but in Pingcheng, who doesn't praise, "It really is Mrs. Hou."

When Xiao Zhu came over, he saw his daughter-in-law was receiving guests, so he asked someone to come over and say something.As soon as Chang Ru looked up, she saw her husband standing outside with a big smile looking at her. She felt his face was a little hot.

Entrusting the hospitality to her mother-in-law and mother, Chang Ru walked over and asked, "Husband, what can you do with me?"

Xiao Zhu stretched out his hands to straighten her hair at the sideburns, and warned: "Don't drink too much fruit wine, lest you feel uncomfortable."

Chang Ru nodded.It turned out that the husband came to care about her.

Xiao Zhu said again: "If someone says something you don't like to hear, just ignore it and just let her go, she is not welcome in our house."

Chang Ru was confused for a moment. She was already Mrs. Hou, so no one would dare to mess with her.However, her husband was concerned, so she accepted the order and continued to nod.

Xiao Zhu laughed, "Hey, you go first, don't tire yourself out."

Chang Ru walked back to the women's place with one step and three turns.After going back, everyone praised the love between husband and wife.
