Feeling everyone's attention, the young girl was timid, but she also mustered up her courage. She bent her knees slightly to Chen An's mother and performed a solemn Tang Dynasty lady's bow.
As she bowed, she said softly,
"Daughter of the Zhao family, young mother, greets granny!"”
The word "granny" was like a clap of thunder that shook the heavens and earth, making everyone dizzy.
Miss Chen was stunned on the spot.
What was that? Granny? When did I have a daughter-in-law?
"Granny, please allow me to report: Just now…just now…in Young Lady's boudoir, Little Lord he…he removed Young Lady's veil.”Young Lady Zhao replied shyly.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"
The county captain was furious. He stood up on the spot and scolded,"The agreement between parents and the matchmaker. Madam Zhao did not ask for Madam Chen's permission, nor did she have a matchmaker to exchange her birth characters. What marriage? I will not agree to this marriage!"
Hearing this, Zhao Youniang's face instantly fell, and she was filled with shame.
The influential families in the county nodded their heads one after another, wishing they could immediately chase the Zhao family's daughter away.
However…
at this moment.
"Lord county captain, no, no!”
Old Zhao jumped out."The government controls heaven and earth, but they don't have the right to control civil marriages!" My young lady and the young master have already gotten married and are in the same room. Now that the lord was against it, how could this little girl have the face to continue living?”
"County captain, you're forcing my Zhao family's daughter to death!”
Everyone fell silent.
No one dared to kill anyone. At least, he couldn't do it on the surface. It would violate the Great Tang Law.
The county captain frowned and waved his hand
. I hereby announce that this marriage is invalid! Where's Erlang?"
"Your Excellency, I'm here!"
"Carry the Little Lord and let's go!”
"Yes, sir!"
The young soldier squatted down and picked up the child, preparing to leave
. Put me down! I still want to eat pastries at my sister's house!”Chen An said unhappily.
Hearing this, the county captain was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Eat, eat, eat!
You only know how to eat. If you stay any longer, the little miss of the Chen family will eat you up!
"Let's go!"
The county captain left without looking back.
Erlang carried Chen An and quickly followed.
The influential families in the county also left the Zhao Manor like rabbits…
in just an instant.
The huge Zhao Manor became empty.
Seeing everyone leave, Young Lady Zhao instantly collapsed to the ground. Tears filled her eyes again and flowed out uncontrollably.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, her engagement was broken off.
In ancient times, this was a heavy blow to an unmarried woman.
"Father, your daughter is unfilial and has let you down.”
At this moment, Young Lady Zhao was determined to die.
In order to protect their own reputation, ancient women usually only have this road to go.
Hearing this, Old Man Zhao was shocked.
"Young lady, don't say that. This matter has not reached a desperate situation. Daughter, don't take things too hard!”
Not to the point of desperation?
Zhao Youniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked up at her father in confusion.
Old Zhao nodded. The county captain's words did not count. I can see that the young master likes you quite a lot, and his mother didn't say anything against it. There's still room for negotiation.”
"Young lady, if you do this tomorrow…"
Old Zhao squatted down and whispered to his daughter.
The Zhao family had been established for more than thirty years. Whether they would succeed or fail would depend on the final step.
If they won, the Zhao Clan would advance to the Knight level.
If you lose money, your family will be destroyed.
This old man is willing to bet his fortune on this last wave.
At this moment, Old Man Zhao did not know what would happen in the future. He also didn't know how much talent the little young master who snatched him away had.
It was a divine youth who had crossed the universe and traversed the river of time.
Scholar class?
Just a warrior?
Hehe, the Zhao family underestimated the young man.
Even the county officials had underestimated him.
…
County government.
The county captain brought the Chen mother and son back.
In front of the gate.
The Jiangling County Magistrate and Deputy Magistrate were actually waiting at the entrance.
Seeing that Xiao Wa had returned safely, the two top officials of the county magistrate were overjoyed and immediately ran over.
"Little baby, come and go." Let me give you a hug!"
Before Chen An could refuse, the county magistrate snatched it away.
He laughed as he walked into the county office.
Chen An: "…"
Chen: "…"
County Yamen backyard.
The county magistrate's wife had already asked the maid to prepare fruits and tea.
"Sit! Everyone, sit! Mrs. Chen, please sit down!
Miss Chen quickly bowed and thanked him.”
"You're welcome, sit down!"
"Yes, sir!"
Miss Chen sat on the stone bench in the pavilion with trepidation.
The county magistrate, county lieutenant, and the others also sat down.
"Mrs. Chen, I heard that you're from Zhijiang County?”The county magistrate asked.
Miss Chen hurriedly nodded."Yes, my lord!"
"Chen An was picked up?"
Miss Chen's face was filled with shame, but she nodded helplessly.""Yes, An 'er is indeed not the biological daughter of an abandoned wife. "
Madam Chen, don't be nervous. I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask Furen, this county wants to be in-laws with Chen. Wu's second wife has a daughter, Liu Fang is nine years old. She had dignified looks, and there were many red embroidery threads. She was worthy of the Chen family's prodigy.”
"Madam, what do you think of this proposal?”
What was that?
The county magistrate wants to get married?
Heavens!
At this moment, Miss Chen was shocked.
From the day he picked up Chen An, he had always felt that An 'er was very magical.
However, he never expected that
seven years later, an official of the Great Tang, the county magistrate of Jiangling County, would actually want to marry his daughter to An 'er.
The Chen family was simply ascending to the heavens with a single step!
Uh...
... the beautiful lady from the rich family who had been in the past.
What did she say? It seemed to be 'married to An' er'…He was
stunned!
At this moment, Miss Chen was completely dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why did all the wealthy families want to marry their daughters to the Chen family?
"Madam! Madam, wake up!"
Following the county magistrate's words, Miss Chen finally came back to her senses.
"Madam, are you willing?"
He was willing!
It was a blessing for a farmer's son to marry a merchant's daughter.
As for becoming in-laws with the county magistrate, it was simply a dream that could wake up with a smile.
How could Miss Chen not be willing?
Miss Chen was like a chicken pecking at rice when she heard the question. She nodded repeatedly."I'm willing. This is An-er's blessing. However, my An 'er is still young and lives in the countryside. I'm afraid he's not worthy of the county magistrate's daughter.”
Hearing this, the county magistrate laughed out loud.
"Furen need not worry. Our two families can get engaged first. It seems that Chen An's future is in this county!"
"Haha! Madam, I also think highly of Chen An. I believe that in time, the Chen Clan's child will be famous throughout the Great Tang!”
"Yes, Madam. This was a marriage of equal status. There was no need to worry, no need to worry!”
The county magistrate, county lieutenant, and other officials all agreed.
His name shook the Great Tang?
Will that day really come for my Anan?
Miss Chen looked at her child and fell into a state of fantasy
…
On the official road leading to the Jingzhou Prefecture.
A messenger was riding a horse at full speed.
Wherever the road passed, all pedestrians and carriages gave way.
About six hours later, at sunset, the messenger finally arrived at the Jingzhou Prefecture.
"Open the city gates! I am a messenger from Jiangling County, I have brought the county examination documents!”
With this roar, the city gate of the state capital opened.
The messenger whipped his horse and rushed into the state capital.
At this moment, the officials of the Jingzhou government did not know what would happen next. The commoners of the Jingzhou Prefecture did not know either.
It was earth-shattering news that would sweep across the Central Plains and the entire Great Tang Empire like a hurricane.
