The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"Receive an imperial decree?" Jiang Muxia's jaw dropped. This was a treatment she had never had in her two lifetimes.

But she didn't do anything, so how could she receive an imperial edict?

Everyone gathered around and asked Fuzi, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Sister Jiang must have helped Magistrate Tang control the epidemic and arrested so many rebels. The emperor must have rewarded her."

"Yes, Sister Xiaoyao is right."

No one knew whether it was a blessing or a curse. She could only find out after she followed Fu Zi back and received the imperial edict.

What she was worried about was whether the emperor would interfere with her marriage with Tang Zhongbai. What if... Her heart was pounding and she dared not think about it.

She was afraid that the children would worry, so she smiled and gave them a task, "You guys dry the cotton at home and pick the two rows near the wall. I will come back to check in the afternoon. You guys wait for my good news at home."

She left with her children worried.

When she arrived home, Jiang Yuzhou and Lu Chaoyun were waiting for her anxiously in the courtyard. Under the arrangement of Nanny Jiang, an incense table was set up in the courtyard. However, the messenger and Tang Zhongbai were not there.

Nanny Jiang came running over, pulled her aside and carefully reminded her of the things she should pay attention to when receiving the imperial edict.

"Who will deliver the message?"

"A eunuch from the capital has been arranged to talk to the young master in the main hall of my house. You just need to do as I tell you. Don't say anything else. I will arrange it." After saying this, Nanny Jiang hurried away.

Jiang Yuzhou and his wife were so nervous that beads of sweat had not yet fallen off their foreheads. They walked back and forth in the yard, feeling a little at a loss.

At this time, messy footsteps came out of the Tang family and walked towards the Jiang family.

"Here she comes, here she comes." Jiang Yuzhou looked at his daughter with a pale face. He and Lu Chaoyun stood side by side facing the gate, and their breathing became much lighter.

Tang Zhongbai saw her standing in the yard with a calm expression and firm and confident eyes.

Tang Zhongbai introduced Jiang Muxia to the official in gray brocade clothes and white face beside him, "Eunuch Huang, this is Miss Jiang Muxia."

Huang, the eunuch, glanced at her with his hawk-like eyes, and could not help but be surprised that such a woman could come from a small Suanzao County. What a fresh and refined woman, without makeup but with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. Her thick hair was simply braided into a shiny braid, draped diagonally on her chest, adding some free and easy refreshingness to her.

He had seen countless people, but this was the first time he had seen such a refreshing woman who exuded vitality like the spring breeze. No wonder the second young man of the Tang family ignored those ladies from wealthy families in Beijing and insisted on marrying her, a country girl.

Jiang Muxia bowed to him respectfully and said, "Meeting Eunuch Huang, thank you for your hard work during the journey."

Eunuch Huang clasped his fists and bowed to the west, saying in a clear voice: "Working for the emperor is hard work. Please ask Young Master Tang and Miss Jiang to accept the order."

Everyone in the courtyard knelt on the ground. Eunuch Huang unfolded a bright yellow scroll and began to read the decree.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Magistrate Tang Zhongbai of Suanzao County and commoner Jiang Muxia have made great contributions in the suppression of the rebellion of the King of Lingnan by doing their utmost to cure drought and epidemics. Tang Zhongbai is appointed as the Minister of the Council of Chenliu County. Jiang Muxia is outstanding, beautiful and intelligent, and she is a role model for women in her efforts and perseverance. She is specially conferred the title of Lady of Pingle Township and granted a thousand acres of good farmland. I decree this!"

Tang Zhongbai and Jiang Muxia bowed their heads to the ground, shouting, "Long live the king!"

Eunuch Huang handed the imperial edict to Tang Zhongbai and congratulated him with a smile on his face.

He walked up to Jiang Muxia and said, "Pingle County Master has received great favor from the Emperor. I hope you can assist the Second Young Master Tang in governing Suanzao County and ensure peace and happiness for the people."

Jiang Muxia nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will do my best to live up to your grace."

Eunuch Huang nodded with satisfaction, and Nanny Jiang seized the opportunity to stuff a heavy purse into his hand. He did not refuse and took it calmly.

The work was done, and Tang Zhongbai invited people to his home. "We have prepared wine and food at home, please invite Huang Nei Shi to have a meal at home."

Huang followed him out, but when he turned the corner, he found that Jiang Muxia had not followed him, so he asked Tang Zhongbai, "Isn't the Lord of Pingle coming with you?"

Tang Zhongbai hurriedly explained to her, "Now is the critical time for autumn harvest, she has to work in the fields."

When Eunuch Huang heard him talking about Jiang Muxia going to work in the fields, he could not help but not show any disgust, but even some admiration in his eyes.

It can be seen that he loved this country girl to the core.

The princess really had good intentions. For the sake of her children, she went to the palace to ask the empress dowager for help, and asked the emperor to issue an edict to confer the title of Xiangjun on her, so that when she returned to Beijing to deal with noble ladies in the future, they would not look down on her.

He himself came from a farming family and was forced to enter the palace as a eunuch.

In this way, he and Miss Jiang were of the same background. However, Miss Jiang was literate and proficient in accounting, and she was good at helping the second son of Tang to suppress the rioters and farming.

In the future, she will be a lady from a noble family and her future will be limitless.

Whether in terms of status or ability to do things, it was a level that even a eunuch in the palace like him could not reach, so he was not worthy of being compared with her.

Just from this one meeting, he began to admire the girl.

"Miss Jiang is indeed not an ordinary woman. Second Young Master Tang, please watch out for her. Be careful not to be snatched away by others."

Which man wouldn't want a woman with such outstanding appearance and extraordinary abilities?

Even if she didn't know Tang Zhongbai, she was still the most eye-catching one in the crowd.

They were toasting each other and toasting. In the backyard of the Jiang family, Jiang Muxia and his parents were sitting in the room. In front of them were the deeds of the thousand acres of land with Jiang Muxia's name on them and the treasure book of the canonization of the township lord. It seemed too unreal.

Their family of five was kicked out of their home and was not given any land. Now, a thousand acres of fertile land has fallen on their heads, leaving them at a loss as to what to do.

Can they, ordinary people, bear such a great favor?

Jiang Muxia was grumbling to the book. As far as she knew, there was a title called Xiangzhu in the Wu Dynasty. What kind of title was this Xiangjun? It was just an empty title, right? People in high positions really know how to play. They can only use such a title to bluff the common people. No one from the aristocratic family recognized this title.

Judging from the rewards given to her and Tang Zhongbai today, the emperor regards the Tang family as a thorn in his side and has no intention of transferring Tang Zhongbai back to the capital to serve as an official.

What a brilliant plan, using her to tie down Tang Zhongbai and make them stay in Suanzao County and never be able to serve as officials in the capital.

The Tang family hasn't fallen to such a state, why should we still be on guard against them?

"Dad and Mom, just take care of the restaurant. I will take care of the fields."

The couple was stunned for a moment and nodded.

The neighbors all heard the contents of the imperial edict. Within half a day, the whole Suanzao County knew that the county magistrate's fiancée had been rewarded with one thousand acres of land and a title called "County Lady".

Some curious people became interested in the title of Xiangjun and asked around to find out what official position it was.

Later, Jiang Muxia heard a statement that the people had come up with on their own.

"The emperor's daughter is named a princess, the prince's daughter is named a county lady, and the daughters of other officials who have made great contributions are named county ladies. Miss Jiang, the county lady, is not the same as County Magistrate Tang. I think the emperor must have given Miss Jiang this title because he was afraid that County Magistrate Tang would bully her. He actually thinks so highly of us country people. He is really a wise emperor..."

Jiang Muxia smiled bitterly, these simple and kind people.

Her eyes narrowed and her expression became serious, as she recalled what Eunuch Huang had said in a low voice as he walked past her.

"The emperor has high hopes for you, so don't let him down."

What a high hope, don't let him down.
