Chapter 145 Reactions from all parties
Huang Mulin didn't listen to what was read later.
She was stunned by the contents of the imperial edict.
Of course, everyone around was dumbfounded except Yu Zhenzhou and his wife who had received the news in advance.
In this remote and remote Qiling County, there is actually a county lord! ?
A little girl who just turned six years old! ?
The adopted daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo! ?
The scene was strangely quiet, with only the voice of Eunuch Wu announcing: "...Huang Mulin, please accept the decree."
No one answered.
Eunuch Wu took a closer look and found that the little girl had lost her focus and had no reaction at all.
This is not surprising. When a peasant girl from a remote mountain village becomes a county lady of the fifth rank in the imperial court, it is normal for her to be frightened without any prior warning.
Eunuch Wu called her twice before Huang Mulin came back to her senses.
She turned her head to look at Yu Zhenzhou and his wife, who nodded at her, and she dragged her stiff legs forward to thank the emperor and accept the decree. When she received the decree, she subconsciously stuffed the small purse that Yang Lijun had prepared for her the night before into the hands of Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu was stunned. He glanced at the exquisite little purse in his hand, then glanced at Yu Zhenzhou and his wife who pretended to see nothing. He carefully rolled up his sleeves and put the purse into his sleeve pocket.
He politely declined Yu Zhenzhou's invitation to come in for tea and left with his guards.
After Eunuch Wu left, Yu Zhenzhou and his wife hurriedly pushed and pulled Huang Bo's family back to the backyard, and they stood outside like stone pillars to be watched by people.
As soon as they moved, the onlookers went wild.
Linhai Town was undoubtedly very lively on this day.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Huang family cafeteria.
"Father! Mother! What's going on!?"
Huang Mulin was still confused and couldn't figure it out, so he hurriedly asked Yu Zhenzhou and his wife.
How come she suddenly became a county lady in the imperial court?
It’s scary, isn’t it?!
"Yes, Sister Yang." He Huiniang came back to her senses a little after hearing Huang Mulin's question. She twisted her sleeves in confusion: "What's going on? Why did the imperial decree suddenly come from the capital to make Mu Mu a county lady?"
Huang Bo and his sons gradually came back to their senses and looked at Yang Lijun and Yu Zhenzhou nervously.
Yang Hui and others did not come today because they did not want to kneel before the eunuchs, and they had already known about this matter.
Yang Lijun comforted everyone and asked Yu Ze to guard the entrance to the backyard. Then she told them the whole story of how Yu Zhenzhou went to the border years ago, broke the conspiracy of Matan and Qili countries, and used all his military merits to exchange for Huang Mulin's position as county lord.
"Father~"
Huang Mulin walked forward and hugged his legs, and he was picked up and held in his arms.
"Thank you, but this gift is too expensive!"
Because Yu Zhenzhou was unable to attend Huang Mulin's sixth birthday, he wrote her a letter saying that he would give her a birthday present instead.
But it's really too heavy.
"Don't worry." Yu Zhenzhou pinched the little girl's chubby face and said, "Your mother and I are here. You don't have to worry about managing people and affairs. There are many capable people under you for you to command."
"Qiling County is in your hands. As long as you don't raise private soldiers to rebel, whatever you want to do will be allowed as long as you don't cross the line."
“Just let go and do what you want to do.”
"Both father and mother will support you."
Yu Zhenzhou's words are like fireworks filling the sky, beautiful and timeless.
Deng Da and others who had been silently standing by as human pillars suddenly came to their senses. These two were the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife!
My legs are weak again.
Huang Mulin was so moved that he could not help himself, while Huang Bo and the others gradually calmed down.
Thinking carefully about what Yu Zhenzhou just said, it was indeed very tempting.
From now on in Qiling County, no one can surpass Huang Mulin except Yu Zhenzhou and his wife, and he no longer has to worry about some short-sighted small merchants coming to steal the workshop's secret recipes.
The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
The whole family didn’t know how to express their gratitude to Yu Zhenzhou.
"Alright, alright." Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by Huang Bo's family, he quickly said, "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal."
"Besides, Lijun, my godfather and I plan to retire in Linhai Town in the future. This is like asking for a private territory for ourselves, which will benefit everyone."
"Take your time to think about how you want to develop Linhai Town or Qiling County. It's a big responsibility. Whether it's Mu Mu or you guys, you must be mentally prepared to avoid being looked down upon."
As Yu Zhenzhou joked, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
Outside the courtyard, different people spread the news not only to Linhai Town but also to various places and even to various countries.
It was quite a sensation.
Tang Jide's carriage had already entered Tianjing Prefecture, and he planned to take a day off to relieve the fatigue of the journey. If it weren't for the curfew, he would have set off at night and arrived at Linhai Town as soon as possible after receiving the news.
When the Song and Ge families learned about this, they cleaned up the mess overnight and sent Song Jinxian and Ge Songhao to Linhai Town to congratulate them early the next morning.
No matter what happens in the outside world, Huang Mulin is still floating in the clouds and fog, which is very unreal.
At night, in space.
"Mumu, you are in a daze again."
Gui Chen shook his little beard and patted her.
"Oh."
Huang Mulin replied unconsciously.
"He's just a county lord, what's so great about that?"
Gui Chen groaned: "In the past, this kind of mortal official position was not as good as a..."
It didn't say the rest of the words.
"what?"
Huang Mulin came back to his senses and wanted to hear what it had not finished saying.
"Nothing~"
Guichen ran away.
Huang Mulin gritted his teeth and really wanted to catch it and give it a beating.
However, she calmed down a little because of Gui Chen's interruption.
She lay on the sofa and pondered for a long time before she pulled herself out of her confusion.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking more, so just let go and do it boldly.
The next day, He Mingliang and others came in a hurry.
"I heard that Mu Mu became the county lord of Laoshizi?"
He Mingliang's voice was still a little trembling.
"Yes."
Huang Bo quickly helped He Mingliang sit down and said, "It was her adoptive father, the Duke of Zhenguo, who asked for it for her."
"This is really..."
He Mingliang and Zheng Jiaojiao looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He Yian and others didn't dare to say a word.
When this shocking news reached Hejia Village, the villagers took turns going to their house to inquire, congratulate, test, and curry favor with them, leaving the whole village completely confused.
When they learned about this from the villagers, the family was shocked the whole night. They finally made it until dawn and rushed to Linhai Town to inquire.
"Dad, Mom." He Hui's mother comforted them: "Brother, sister-in-law, with the help of the Duke of Zhenguo, Mu Mu will be fine, don't worry."
After comforting everyone for a long time, the He family finally went home with weak steps.
As for Eunuch Wu, after announcing the decree, he returned to his residence, took out the purse he had received from Huang Mulin, opened it, and saw a silver note worth one hundred taels inside.
He gasped.
