Dad was granted a title, mother had a royal title, and Gu Xue was also very happy.

Indeed, as my sister said, if grandma finds out, she will regret it and go crazy.

Two months later, General Liu's eldest grandson, Mr. Liu, got engaged.

The two looked at each other right, and their parents were also very satisfied.

I had previously withdrawn from the Liu family's marriage, and my life in the capital was not going well.

At the gathering of ladies and gentlemen, everyone deliberately avoided that family.

In the middle of the court, the direct and indirect branches of that family who were officials were all vaguely alienated.

But no matter how much they regret, they can't change the fact.

After a long journey, the chamberlain who delivered the decree also arrived in Yingzhou.

The chamberlain went straight to Xinghua County and stayed at Magistrate Zhu's house.

It was also to give the Gu family time to prepare for the order.

Magistrate Zhu was one step ahead and arrived at Daling Village first.

As soon as we entered the village, we first saw a huge high wall that surrounded the village.

There are also guards guarding the gate, and there is an attic or watchtower nearby for reconnaissance.

I had heard before that Daling Village had changed a lot under Gu Xue's rule.

Magistrate Zhu knew that there was a cannery here, but he didn't know that a wall was built around it.

He has not been here since Daling Village was no longer under his control.

I didn't expect that things have changed so much here.

This is comparable to a small country.

There are also city walls, towers, and guards, which can be said to be all-inclusive.

Master Xie was also surprised as he followed Magistrate Zhu.

Is this still Daling Village?

It seems like the border between the two countries.

Because as soon as they arrived at the gatehouse, they were stopped.

It wasn't that he was stopped, but that there was an obstacle placed at the "city gate".

If no one removes that thing, no one can get in.

Master Xie and Magistrate Zhu looked at each other.

Then Master Xie stepped forward and explained his intention.

"This little brother, the county magistrate is here. I have something important to inform the village chief's family. Can you let us in?"

The gatekeeper stuck his head out and looked at the people for a moment.

He left a word "wait a moment" and whispered a few words in the ear of the other gatekeeper, and the man ran away.

He ran all the way to Gu Xue's house.

Knocked on the door and entered the yard.

Gu Chun just took a break these days.

He hadn't taken a break for several months, and now he had accumulated it all together.

So, you can go home and rest for a few days.

When the man saw Gu Chun, he quickly told the story.

Gu Chun told his parents and quickly ran towards the east of the village.

"Your Majesty, Master Xie, come in quickly." Gu Chun saw the visitor and hurriedly invited him in.

The two of them were greeted by him and walked through the village towards Gu's house.

"The village environment is good and the roads are quite smooth." Magistrate Zhu sighed as he walked.

Village Chief Gu is really a wonderful person. Under her rule, the village has changed drastically. The villagers have smiles on their faces and it seems that they are living well.

When they arrived at Gu's house, Gu Jiangxing and Cheng Ru also came out to greet them.

Everyone came to the main room.

Magistrate Zhu got straight to the point: "Miss Gu and the Ninth Prince have been granted a marriage, do you know about this?"

Gu Jiangxing nodded slightly: "I know, Xue'er sent a letter back a while ago."

Magistrate Zhu continued: "The palace servants have come to Xinghua County and people have arrived at my house. They will come to Daling Village tomorrow to announce the decree."

Cheng Ru and Gu Jiangxing were a little embarrassed at this time. They had never seen such a big scene before.

County Magistrate Zhu glanced at the two of them and thought to himself, "Hey, this is such incredible wealth. This family is so lucky."

"In addition to granting marriage, there is one more thing when the imperial edict is read out this time."

Magistrate Zhu took a deep look at the two of them, as if to say, I have to say whether you are ready or not.

Cheng Ru and his wife were also confused by the county magistrate.

Gu Chun didn't even know what kind of medicine the county magistrate was selling.

So he asked, "What else is there?"

Master Xie looked at their family with a smile on his face.

Meet the eyes of everyone expecting.

Magistrate Zhu said quietly: "You know, Miss Gu has made great contributions, and the emperor awarded her a reward, but she refused, so the emperor rewarded you two."

Gu Jiangxing was a little surprised: "What are we being rewarded for?"

Magistrate Zhu slowed down his tone: "Don't get excited. Stay calm."

"The emperor has made you a marquis. You are now a first-grade marquis, an Nonghou. It is hereditary and your descendants will inherit the title."

"Your wife has been given a first-grade imperial edict."

"Master Gu, your family has changed."

When Magistrate Zhu said these words, he was both excited and pious.

Gu Chun froze on the spot as if digesting what he just said.

His father is Lord Hou, and he is Lord Hou’s son...

Gu Jiangxing opened his eyes wide, holding on to the table and breathing heavily.

"But really?" he asked.

Magistrate Zhu nodded: "I will come to the village tomorrow to read out the imperial edict. Of course it is true. It really can't be true anymore."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Ru fainted directly.

Gu Jiangxing and Gu Chun hurriedly supported her and pinched her.

Magistrate Zhu shook his head: "Hey, I told you not to get excited."

In fact, he was quite excited, but he had known the news for a while, so he didn't react as much as they did.

After a few breaths, Cheng Ru was pinched awake.

She glanced at Magistrate Zhu and Master Xie and knew that everything just now was true.

With tears in her eyes, she asked carefully: "Master Zhu, what should we prepare for the order?"

"I came here to tell you this." Magistrate Zhu explained.

After carefully informing several people about the items and preparations needed to receive the order, Magistrate Zhu did not leave any more details.

The two were sent out of the village by Gu Chun.

In the room, Cheng Ru and Gu Jiangxing hugged each other and cried.

"Damn it, kid, I didn't expect that I've been a bastard all my life and now I'm a marquis."

"Well, in this life, I will take advantage of my daughter."

Gu Qiu, who was in another room, ran out at this time.

"I heard it all. Am I the son of the Marquis in the future?"

"Haha, I have become the prince of the Hou family, yeah!"

Gu Qiu accepted it well, spinning around in circles like a little fool and running wildly in the main room.

Gu Jiangxing waited for his eldest son to come back from sending someone away, and then started to give instructions.

"Chun'er, if you receive the imperial edict tomorrow, why don't you broadcast it and tell the villagers to avoid accidental collisions."

Gu Chun nodded, considered a few words in his mind, picked up the loudspeaker, and started broadcasting.

After broadcasting it three times in a row, the villagers all looked confused.

They all ran to the street, saw people who were also unaware, and started chatting.

"What's going on? I'll receive the decree tomorrow. The emperor will send someone to our village to announce the decree. Did I hear it wrong because I didn't wake up?"

"Yes, I heard it too. Just now I saw Magistrate Zhu enter the village."

"Do you think it has something to do with the village chief?"

"It must be related to the village chief, otherwise in the whole village, who do you think may be issued an imperial edict by the emperor? Only the village chief has this possibility."

"Well, I heard in those dramas that people have to burn incense and take a bath. Do I want to take a bath?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard Gu Chun's broadcast.

Let everyone be clean and neatly dressed tomorrow.
