Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 403 Are you worthy
They will leave the battlefield because they have to leave for some reason, some are missing arms or legs, some are blind and sick, none of them are diseases that can easily find a living in their hometown.

People don't think that their injuries are the medals left by defending their home and country, but just fear, disgust and disgust. They can't find decent things to do except work hard at the dock to unload goods, but the money they earn from moving things is only Enough to buy some coarse grains for life, not to mention marrying wives and having children to honor their ancestors, they can hardly support themselves.

Even if you can take this imperial mission and earn some money, how can it be enough to spend for a lifetime?

Xiaoxiao is not worried: "Mom, I didn't say it was just this trip."

Xiao Ran raised her head: "Then what do you mean..."

Xiaoxiao said: "Mother, being able to survive the life-and-death crisis at the border again and again shows that you uncles and elder brothers are all people with real skills. If this ability to kill the enemy can only be used as a coolie, wouldn't it be a waste of money?"

"Dad and mother, you have all seen the current appearance of the border town. I have confidence in those melons and fruits. From now on, even if the iron ore is shipped out, there will be a steady stream of goods to be sent to the capital and to other places in Daxia. , but in the past, ordinary escort agencies looked down upon border towns, and no one was willing to deliver even if the price was high."

"If a merchant wants to trade with the border town, he can only spend a lot of money to organize a caravan. The road is neither safe nor convenient, so why don't we..."

Xiao Ran and the others felt that Xiao Xiao wanted to set up a bodyguard agency dedicated to visiting border towns, and the more she thought about it, the more reliable she felt.

"The skills and vigilance of the brothers are far beyond those of ordinary bodyguards, and their familiarity with the border towns is beyond the reach of others. Xiaoxiao, you are so smart, I will tell the emperor about it tomorrow!"

If it works, she will have to give her daughter an award worthy of her.

There is one thing that Xiao Ran didn't tell anyone. Today, when the emperor asked him to wait for him, Xiao Ran heard many rumors outside the palace.

If those rumors had nothing to do with her, Xiao Ran would have heard them from one ear to the other, but she heard Xiaoxiao's name.

"Do you know, this time the triumphant return of General Xiao, the one who deserves the most honor is actually her daughter who has been living abroad for many years."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Think about it, the ladies from other people's high families are all raised in boudoirs, but the Xiao family is said to be raised in the countryside, let alone read, she can't read a word, and the needlewoman can't do anything. "

"For a 'Miss' like this, it will be very rare if she wants to find a husband who is well-matched in the future."

"However, it will be different after General Xiao's victory. Just wait and see, it won't be long before the city full of dudes will swarm up like flies who have seen meat."

"It makes sense. If the general's mansion falls, the girl will be found, but it will be nothing but a name that no one cares about. But now that the Xiao family's favor is not fading, even if they look down on the girl, it's okay. To give General Xiao some face."

"At least marrying a decent second-generation ancestor as the housewife should be barely qualified."

At that moment, Xiao Ran's fist was hardened, who knew that was not all.

Those gossips said again: "It's not necessarily true. Even the second generation ancestors have to pick and choose wives. You know that the girl was raised in the countryside all the year round. She is very vulgar and ignorant of etiquette."

"It's more than that, I heard that the family that adopted her is all poor ghosts, and raised that girl like a street shrew, ugly and stupid..."

It is not an exaggeration to say that if it is not for the consideration that beating people will only add to the chaos, and the rumors are true, Xiao Ran feels that her rationality is about to run away from home, and if she beats those tongue-twisters, they will cry and cry Don't give up.

But she held back. Rumors, the more you suppress them, the more they rebound. The angrier she behaves in front of people, the more people feel that she is guilty.

She didn't want her daughter who was finally found to be wronged a little bit, so she didn't beat anyone.

But if she didn't hit anyone, it didn't mean that she would put the matter aside gently. That night, when everyone else in the family was resting, Xiao Ran met with several personal guards.

"General, I found out, those words were passed on by someone from the Yan family."

Xiao Ran frowned, and came to her with grudges and grudges, what's the matter with targeting her daughter?

This question was answered the next morning——

After telling the vicious story and formally accepting the letter of surrender and signing the covenant, Xiao Ran saw people coming out of the crowd.

"Your Majesty, now that the world is peaceful and the people are happy, it's time for us to hold some happy events and celebrate together."

The emperor held his stomach majestically: "What Aiqing said is also reasonable. The common people have been worrying about the war for a long time. They should take it easy, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, so why not wait for the winter solstice and hold a temple fair?"

It's just autumn, and the winter solstice is still early, and the minister didn't mean that.

"Your Majesty, what I mean by this minister is that His Highness the Crown Prince is already at the age of a weak crown, but the position of the Crown Princess is still vacant. The so-called marriage and career, a man who has a family is considered a real adult. Why not find a good day and choose a concubine for the Crown Prince? ?”

The emperor didn't even care about his slightly unwell stomach from eating too much crab, and glanced at Xiao Ran's livid face.

Oh, with such an ugly face, he must have known the plans of the Yan family.

The emperor thought a little uncertainly - Xiao Ran won't demolish his Golden Palace later, right?

He didn't really want to talk to the minister who was looking for something to beat when he had nothing to do. He turned to look at Eunuch De, wanting to find a topic to put the matter to rest. The fierce second prince, who honestly put quail on the palace, suddenly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Wang also has a request. I wonder if I can say it."

No, you shut up and get out.

The emperor really wanted to answer him this way, but the man had already taken care of himself: "The fierce Hu negotiated peace with Daxia and reestablished diplomatic relations between the two countries. It is also a major event worthy of celebration and attention. , there is another matter I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to agree to."

His Majesty the Emperor disagreed: "On the matter of diplomatic relations, the second prince can discuss with the diplomatic mission later."

But the second prince didn't listen.

"While in the border town, Xiao Wang's eldest brother fell in love with a Daxia woman at first sight. He thought she was just an ordinary peasant girl. Later, when he found out who she was, he asked Xiao Wang to propose marriage on his behalf."

Guessing what he wanted to say, Rong Yan's fists were itchy, and sure enough, this person shamelessly said——

"Xiao Wang implores His Majesty the Emperor to marry the daughter of the Xiao family to my eldest brother as his wife!"

"My eldest brother is the most likely person to inherit the Jihu throne. If you marry him, the daughter of the Xiao family will become Jihu's queen in the future, and the relationship between Da Xia and Jihu will be even more indestructible!"

"Isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds?"

The officials were in an uproar, even the Yan family was so shocked by this sudden development that they forgot how to react.

If Rong Yan could endure this, he would kill so many vicious people at the border for nothing.

"What is the capacity of the second prince to make a request with Daxia?"

"A mere defeated dog dares to dream of marrying the daughter of General Zhen Guo, are you worthy?"
