The eldest daughter of a peasant family: They are all my sisters’ passers-by

"Meet the Lady of Duke Xin."

Just because Lan Wangshu didn't know this identity didn't mean that Zhou Xingnan, who came to watch the ceremony, didn't know it. He winked at Lan Wangshu, and she understood instantly.

She was graceful and elegant, with no surprise in her eyes but just a hint of gratitude.

"Good boy."

The wife of Duke Xin looked at Lan Wangshu twice, smiled gently, and turned her head away.

"County Lady Guihua, please accept the order."

Lan Wangshu didn't show any big expression. He just knelt on the ground obediently, and the people around him followed suit.

The more Lady Xin looked at him, the more satisfied she was. She was unperturbed by praise or criticism, and was gentle and indifferent, barely worthy of this status.

She unfolded the black brocade in her hand, and from Lan Wangshu's perspective he could only glimpse a five-clawed golden dragon pattern.

"By the will of Heaven, with virtue in the hands of men, the imperial court has bestowed upon her a title. The fox girl of the Lan family in Cangnan Village, Guihua County, is of virtuous character, chaste, virtuous, and selfless. She has made contributions to the wheat plan, led the way in disaster relief, and used her wisdom to kill bandits. She is a role model for women. I hereby grant her the title of Fifth Rank County Princess, the title of Guihua, and the fief of Guihua County. All of the nine provinces have her, and she has received countless admiration."

"Your Majesty, I thank you."

Lan Wangshu could hear small gasps around him, and even Cang Wenyuan looked a little stunned. The grade of this item was not low.

"Please stand up, Lady Guihua. Today is a double celebration."

Lady Xin, the Duke of Xin, handed the imperial edict to Lan Wangshu and helped him up.

"Sister Guihua."

Chen Xinghe walked out of the crowd. He was wearing a black suit and a long cape that dragged on the ground.

"Your Highness."

Duke Xin smiled sincerely when he saw Chen Xinghe, and the villagers around him lowered their heads even lower. This was the prince, and they didn't dare to look at him carelessly.

Of course, some people were quick-witted. They looked at the soldiers around them wearing armor and holding weapons, and then pressed the button silently.

Some people had regret on their faces. I knew the Lan family was in such a situation, so I should have settled the children of the Lan family earlier. Now they are of the fifth rank. Who dares to touch them?

Lan Wangshu glanced around and was very satisfied. It was no wonder that she had planned carefully for so long.

I have long thought that when she grows up, someone will make trouble about her marriage. By that time, affection will not be able to restrain them. People will always become more and more greedy. As life gets better and better, their family will need to have a deterrent effect on them in order to maintain this comfortable atmosphere.

No one likes to be told what to do, including Lan Wangshu.

"Your Highness is here."

Chen Xinghe looks young, but he is mature beyond his years. His behavior is measured and he always has a perfect smile on his face.

"I'm here to give you a coming-of-age gift, so there's no need to be so formal, Sister Guihua."

Chen Xinghe had long known from Chen Yanshu that Lan Wangshu was the one reserved for him. Coincidentally, he also liked her, so he would not be stingy when it came to giving her gifts.

Lan Wangshu led everyone into the yard, and the village chief tactfully asked the villagers to watch the ceremony at the door.

She is now a county lord with a title and fiefdom, which means she has real power in her hands and has one foot in the officialdom.

When Lady Xin Guogong looked at the small courtyard, she felt that it was very bright and elegant, with a bit of wildness in it. Her younger brothers also had their own strengths and seemed to be well-mannered.

"I heard that there was someone who took first place in the prefectural exam in just half a year. Which brother was it?"

Lan Luochen took a step forward, and Lady Xin, the Duke's wife, blinked hard, her expression a little dazed.

"lady."

Lan Wangshu had already been taken in by the nanny to wash up, and did not see the expression on the face of the wife of Duke Xin.

"May I have your name."

Lady Xin, the Duke of Xin, came back to her senses, and with a slightly friendly smile, her eyes full of anticipation, she looked at Lan Luochen's facial features carefully.

"Lan Luochen."

"Okay, that's great. Sorry for the offense, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."

When Lady Xinguogong heard what he said, it would be a lie to say she wasn't disappointed. This face alone made her feel infinitely fond of him.

The nanny handed over a purse with great tact. Lan Luochen grew up in the countryside and didn't understand what this meant. Lan Duoduo made a silent gesture.

Lan Luochen put the purse away and thanked him indifferently. He didn't seem happy about the reward, nor was he curious about what was inside.

Lady Xin Guogong smiled and said, these are really brother and sister, their personalities are really similar.

She looked at Lan Duoduo's pale face and handsome features.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart who this Guihua County Lady was and why her younger brothers looked so familiar. She couldn't remember when she had seen Lan Duoduo's face before. She looked so familiar.

"What's your name?"

"I am Lan Duoduo, the son of the second branch of the Lan family."

"Oh? You are not the biological brother of Guihua County Master."

"Something nasty happened at home, but it was my sister who was gentle and kind and protected Duoduo and helped him grow up."

Lady Xinguogong nodded, and Lan Duoduo also received a purse. She turned her head and coughed twice in suppression.

"Are you not feeling well?"

"Yes, it's a disease I've had since I was a child. The medicinal materials are expensive, so I can only take care of it."
