Chapter 339 Xiao Jinzhi Said This Can Save You From Kneeling
It's an honorific...
It seems that this village needs to be paid more attention to.
The father-in-law who passed the decree thought so in his heart.
"This is the village chief of Zhuxi Village. I'm going to be in trouble next time."
Village Chief Shen was stunned by Liu Feng's words.
Zhongdu, the father-in-law who delivers the edict...
Even if he doesn't understand anything, he still knows that this person is not simple.
Lord Liufeng just said that he was passing on the edict...?
What's going on?
Seeing that the father-in-law had such a peaceful attitude, he hurriedly regained his composure, bowed hastily, and said, "No trouble, no trouble, I'll take the adults over."
On the surface, he was calm, but in reality his mind was in a mess, and he gave Shen Er a hard beating in his heart.
He's not a good person, but he doesn't even have to deal with no matter how big the deal is.
The village chief was very depressed.
The father-in-law came with a mission. He scanned the village and found that this village was indeed different.
The houses are new and bright, the roads are flat and clean, and most importantly, the spirit of the villagers exudes vitality, and their smiles are simple and warm.
"Your village is different from the ones I've seen along the way." The father-in-law said with emotion.
Speaking of the village, Village Chief Shen had something to say, with pride written all over his face.
"A few workshops were opened in the village, and life improved."
The father-in-law who delivered the edict thought that the emperor might ask questions when he returned to the palace, so he said: "After the edict is delivered, can our family take a look around?"
"Of course. If you want to see it, sir, I'll show you around."
After finishing speaking, he saw Shen Nian and others coming towards him.
The first thing that catches the eye is the little white deer exuding a holy halo.
"Sister Nian, did you go hunting in the mountains again?" Village Chief Shen asked in surprise.
"We didn't go up the mountain, we met at the foot of the mountain." Shen Nian said.
Seeing a stranger coming, I immediately made a guess.
"Liu Feng, who are these people, coming to deliver the message?"
Liufeng was a little surprised that she guessed right, and asked in surprise: "How did the girl guess it?"
"There's no need to guess." Shen Nian's face showed a little complacency, "You definitely wouldn't bring a stranger here when you have nothing to do. The only ones who have some relationship with me are those who pass on the imperial edict."
"Girl is smart." Liu Feng praised.
"What's the matter? Where's Xiao Jinzhi? Isn't he here?" Shen Nian looked around and asked.
Liufeng: "Master will come over later."
The familiar chat between the two fell into the eyes of the father-in-law. His eyes flashed, and he respected the rumored princess of Prince Rong's palace a little more.
The father-in-law who delivered the decree looked at Shen Nian calmly.
Let's look at the appearance first. This girl's beauty is not inferior to that of the noble girl who grew up in Zhongdu. She even has more agility in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows than the noble girl in Zhongdu.
Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the jade pendant tied around Shen Nian's waist.
If he read correctly, this jade pendant belongs to Liu Guogong?
this……
The father-in-law who delivered the edict was confused.
at this time.
"Eunuch Liu." Liu Sheng came over.
When Eunuch Liu saw it, he saw that he was the third son of Duke Liu.
Before he could say anything, Jiang Qingci and Jiang Qin also came over.
"Qingci asked Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu."
"I've met Eunuch Liu."
The sisters were smiling, but Eunuch Liu had a question mark on his head.
After taking a few breaths to react, he returned the salute and said with a smile on his face: "I have met Young Master Liu, and I have met the two Miss Jiang."
How come these three people are in Zhuxi Village?
I heard that Mr. Liu San and the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family have called off their engagement. Now this is...a disconnection?
If Liu Sheng knew about Eunuch Liu's slander, his mood would definitely be affected.
He didn't know anything about the loss.
"My father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way. After the decree is announced, you will come with me back to Liu Mansion to rest for a while and try Suizhou's specialties."
Eunuch Liu became more and more puzzled by Mr. Liu's appearance as a host.
"Why is the Third Young Master here?"
To be honest, he felt that Liu Sheng had changed a lot. The biggest change was that the gloominess on his face became less gloomy, and it seemed...more sunny?
Liu Sheng glanced at Shen Nian with a smile in his eyes, and said with joy in his voice, "My sister is here, she is the girl you passed the order to."
Shen Nian's ears were sharp, he took these words into his ears and glared at him: "I heard it! I haven't recognized you yet!"
If this guy passes the news on, the whole village will know that she is from the Liu family.
Liu Sheng played this game of chess and said softly: "In front of the nobles of Zhongdu, can you save some face for the third brother?"
Facing his hopeful eyes, Shen Nian softened for a moment, then said: "Face is earned by oneself, not given by others."
"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Sheng nodded as if he had been taught, stretched out his hand to make gestures, and said warmly: "Just this time, okay?"
Shen Nian snorted and glanced away.
That's it, Liu Sheng was satisfied, "Thank you, sister."
Zhizhi is still as soft-hearted as when she was a child. Every time her brother gives in, the little girl will easily give in.
Eunuch Liu regained consciousness and his tone was full of disbelief, "Miss Shen is Miss Liu?"
"Yes!" Liu Sheng nodded seriously and firmly.
Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "Congratulations to the third young master for finding your sister, and congratulations to Duke Liu for finding his beloved daughter."
It’s so well hidden!
Liu Sheng smiled broadly, "Thank you so much, father-in-law."
Eunuch Liu glanced at Shen Nian and secretly sighed that this girl was so lucky.
She is Prince Xiao's favorite person. She is extremely liked by Prince Rong and Princess Rong. Not to mention, she is actually the eldest lady of Duke Liu's palace. She is nothing more than a winner in life.
According to Liu Guogong's doting on his daughter, as long as this girl returns to Zhongdu, she will probably be at the top of the list of people not to be messed with.
As a father-in-law, you must keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. In just a short while, Eunuch Liu had almost figured out the situation.
He could see that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and Young Master Liu seemed to be deliberately avoiding suspicion, without saying a word or even making eye contact.
On the contrary, the Jiang sisters and Miss Shen get along well...
After a brief acquaintance, everyone returned to Shen's house.
After the Shen family got the news, everyone came back, even the old patriarch came.
When Shen Nian took people home, the courtyard door was wide open and the incense table had been prepared in the courtyard.
"I have met you, sir." Patriarch Shen took the lead and bowed to the father-in-law.
Eunuch Liu hurriedly supported the person, "We are not adults, we are just servants serving others. Please get up quickly. This must not be the case."
Miss Shen is not a real farm girl. The two giants of Prince Rong's Palace and Liu Guogong's Palace are her talismans. How can a slave like him dare to accept this gift from the family she values.
Patriarch Shen had some guesses in his mind, so he stood up and said, "It's really hard work for me to travel all the way."
Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "It is appropriate to eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor."
After that, he cleaned his hands and took out the bright yellow imperial edict with great respect.
Using his voice that ordinary people could not imitate, he sang in a drawl: "Zhuxi Village Shen Nian accepts the decree..."
The Shen family all knelt down, including Liu Sheng and the Jiang sisters.
Shen Nian didn't kneel down and stood as straight as a poplar.
Facing the different expressions and eyes of the people in Zhongzhi, she took out a yellow sign and asked, "Xiao Jinzhi said that this eliminates the need to kneel. Is that true?"
