Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 268: Second Rank Hua'an County Lady

A fight was ended with a delicate shout!

Ariel's eyes sparkled as she said to Gu Wenxuan:

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ariel. What's your name?"

Gu Wenxuan was suddenly questioned by a girl who was so beautiful that she was outrageously beautiful. He was at a loss for what to do for a moment, his face turned red, and he secretly glanced at Gu Dalian!

Gu Xiaolian replied, "Sister Ariel, this is my eldest brother, Gu Wenxuan!"

But Ariel asked in a surprising and non-stop manner:

"Then can I be your sister-in-law?"

Gu Dalian was shocked, Gu Xiaolian fainted, Feng Qinglan was dumbfounded, and the others were speechless!

"Brother Gu, I like you. According to the rules of our clan, if you like someone, you should speak out boldly. Are you willing to marry me?"

Gu Wenxuan’s old face turned red. This...how should he answer this? The key is that he doesn’t understand it yet!

Although Gu Xiaolian likes Ariel, she can't accept it:

"Sister Ariel, you are a mermaid, how can you marry my eldest brother?"

Ariel waved her fair and slender hands and said:

"So what? I can become a human, and then I can marry a human!"

Gu Dalian: Is this still possible?

Gu Wenzhi: My brother’s marriage is decided by himself!

Gu Xiaolian: Big brother is so charming!

Gu Lun: Poor brother, you will have no freedom from now on!

Gu Wenxuan: "...I'm in the military camp, let's talk about this later!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dalian knew that her good brother was moved!

Then Ariel continued, "You being in the military camp won't affect our relationship. When you come back, we'll go on a date!"

Qi Huli spat out a mouthful of tea. She didn't expect this fish to be so fierce!

Gu Wenxuan was defeated by Lei and fell in love with this girl at first sight, but it was just liking. Isn't it said that girls are reserved? Why did Ariel talk about marriage as soon as she opened her mouth?

He is no longer the invincible soldier and just wants to disappear from everyone's sight immediately!

Gu Dalian found her elder brother's ostrich-like behavior a little ridiculous, so she stepped out to smooth things over:

"Ariel, people here are more reserved. If you really like my brother, you should give him some time to think about it. If he thinks you can try dating, then we can talk about the next step! Okay?"

Ariel nodded, and moved closer to Feng Qinglan, calling her great-aunt like Gu Dalian and the others, and fed her one of the strawberries, naturally and intimately, without any pretense!

She looked at Gu Wenxuan with big eyes and threw a big black, red cherry to him. Gu Wenxuan caught it instinctively. Looking at the girl's clear eyes, his heart was beating like a deer!

"I...I suddenly remembered...I...I still have some things to deal with!"

Gu Wenxuan fled in panic, making everyone laugh! From then on, this scene appeared in the space:

Girls chase, boys run away!

The girl got angry, and the boy apologized to her right behind her!

After being away for more than 20 days, Gu Dalian had a great harvest and also discovered a quartz mine for making glass. She had been thinking about how to make a profit from this thing. Her current status and position were not enough to protect this industry!

When we returned to Cuiyu Village, Shannan County had already had a bumper harvest of grain, fruits and vegetables!

Every household was delighted and couldn't help but give a thumbs up whenever Gu Xiangjun was mentioned!

Lin Shiyu, the official of Shannan County, reported to the court to request merit for Gu Xiangjun. It is said that the Emperor was hesitant at the time and did not know how to reward him. He asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who only said:

"Although I have never met Lady Gu Xiangjun, I have heard that she is still young, but in order to increase the yield of grain for the people, she has repeatedly entered the depths of Yingdang Mountain to search for high-yield seeds. She is truly dedicated to the people. It is a blessing for our Great Banyan Nation that our father has such people!"

The old emperor was in high spirits when he heard this. He waved his hand and said:

"Gu Dalian, the lady of the Gu family in Cuiyu Village, Shannan County, has a virtuous character and cares about the people. She has gone through many hardships to find a variety of high-yield and high-quality seeds for Darong. Her contribution is outstanding and she is truly a role model for the people of Darong. She is hereby conferred the title of second-rank county lady, and is granted a thousand hectares of fertile land, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a thousand taels of gold..."

By the time Gu Dalian received the news, the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial edict would arrive in two days. Fortunately, she had her sworn brother Lin Shiyu to help with the preparations, and Qin Mo also gave her guidance from time to time, so nothing went wrong!

On July 12, the eunuch delivering the imperial edict arrived at Cuiyu Village holding a bright yellow imperial edict, accompanied by a group of officials of all ranks!

The maids had already set up the incense table in Gu Wenxuan's living room and dressed Gu Dalian in classic Hanfu style, which brought out her noble temperament and elegant posture.

Then the messenger shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived...Gu Da Lian, the Lord of Gu Township in Shannan County, is the edict-bearer!"

Everyone knelt down at once. The villagers standing outside the courtyard could hear the officer's shout and knelt down without hesitation. Gu Dalian also knelt down with her legs together and her upper body straight!

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Gu Dalian, Lady of the Gu family in Biyu Village, Shannan County, Henan Prefecture, has devoted herself to the people, and has gone through countless hardships to find all kinds of high-yield grains, without asking for anything in return, in order to help the villagers achieve a bumper harvest. Your contribution is outstanding! You are a noble person, prudent and prudent, diligent and docile, peaceful and pure, gentle and kind, and a good inner ruler. From now on, you are hereby appointed as the second-rank Hua'an County Lady, and granted a thousand hectares of fertile land, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a thousand taels of gold... I decree this!"

Gu Dalianlian took the imperial edict with both hands, knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace, and said:

"Long live, long live, long live!

Then, he repeated it again, shouted "Long live the emperor" three times, and then stood up!

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard. Please take a seat and have some refreshments and rest for a while. We have already asked someone to prepare fine wine and delicacies. You can take your seat soon!"

Gu Dalian was cheerful and talkative, and was as graceful and elegant as the noble ladies in Kyoto. She was also elegant and refined, with extraordinary beauty, truly a peerless beauty.

The people who came from Kyoto were amazed, and when they heard that Lady Hua'an was well-spoken, they realized that she was not a country woman at all, and immediately put away their contempt!

Looking at the fruit and snacks, there are more than twenty kinds of them. The fruits are all bright and juicy, and they look extraordinary. The pastries are also fragrant and tempting!

There is also the tea served by the maids, which is deep orange-yellow, clear and bright, with a certain thickness and texture.

The fragrance is fragrant, with a strong orchid scent, rich and long-lasting!

I took another sip, it was mellow and smooth, with a strong aftertaste and a long-lasting taste. It was delicate, pure and soft, and had a layered and rocky feel!

"Princess Hua'an, I wonder what this fruit is? I have served His Majesty for many years, but I have never seen these fruits!"

Eunuch An went out of the palace to deliver the imperial edict this time, and it was also because Emperor Hong'an sympathized with him for following him since he entered the palace and protecting him with his body many times, so he gave him a vacation in disguise!

Although he had seen many of these fruits in the palace, there were several kinds of them that he had never seen or even heard of!

Gu Dalian then began to introduce them one by one!

"This dark red fruit is called a cherry. I found it last year when I was fleeing famine in Yingdang Mountain. After I settled in Cuiyu Village, I went to the mountain and transplanted it! I wanted to give it a try. If it was successful, I could promote it. I didn't expect it to bear fruit!"
