Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 180 Returning to Hometown with Honor
The Lin family was very close to present-day Jinling, so Liu Hua didn't waste much effort or time. As soon as he opened the door, he saw an unexpected person appear in the main hall - Yinzhen!
Liu Hua opened his eyes wide in disbelief and felt that he should turn around and walk out.
He closed the door forcefully and had someone push it open again. Yinzhen was still sitting there, and Fu Ruyin was beside him, grinding ink for him.
------------------
Songyang County is just a small county near the water. There was nothing outstanding about it in the past few hundred years. Not even a single person passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Everything seemed mediocre.
Today the whole county is bustling with activity, decorated with lights and colors to welcome a queen.
An Bihuai was in high spirits today, even happier than when he donated the money from Lin Xiu's Suzhou embroidery to the government.
He thought in his heart that An Lingrong was a girl who was sent to the capital to try her luck, and it was just an attempt to fool people. After all, this was a necessary result of participating in the election.
I didn’t expect that I would be selected, and that one day in the future I would be able to return with such glory.
The money An Bihuai collected in the past two days was more than what he had collected in the first half of his life. Even though An Lingrong repeatedly warned him not to take any money and asked Lin Xiu to supervise him, An Bihuai still did his job.
How could he miss such a chance to make money? Besides, this was a gift from them to celebrate the birth of a concubine in Congyang County. It wasn't me, An Bihuai, who asked them to give it as a filial gift.
Aunt Xiao waited and waited but Lin Xiu didn't come out. Seeing An Bihuai parading through the streets with her two newly married concubines in her arms, she ran after him, grabbed his sleeve, and shouted, "Master, where is our wife?"
An Bihuai was extremely impatient with Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao used to be quite fertile, but now she was old and was no longer the same as before.
It was only because of her kindness in sending An Lingrong to Beijing that An Bihuai did not send her away. Now seeing her like this, it was really disappointing.
Similarly, Aunt Xiao also couldn't stand An Bihuai's character.
"The Master and His Majesty have said that they want to see our Madam by name. If Madam doesn't come out, the Madam will not get out of the sedan chair. Please don't make the Madam angry in front of everyone. You still need the Madam."
An Bihuai is a very contradictory person. Before, he was always timid and cowardly when he was outside. He liked to flatter and curry favor with high-ranking officials. When he ran out of money, he just asked Lin Xiu for it.
At home, he turned his back on Lin Xiu after dinner and allowed his newly married concubine to scold and beat her.
But now he has changed a lot. His inner and outer character has all been revealed. He is arrogant even when dealing with officials higher than him and refuses to greet them.
After Aunt Xiao returned to the capital, she gained some experience.
I know that if this continues, An Bihuai will definitely suffer a big setback, and An Lingrong will not have an easier time than me in the palace.
Today, he didn't care about face, and imitated Jiang Zengyun's behavior before him, pointing at An Bihuai and starting to curse:
"Master, I'm not saying anything wrong. Our wife is now a third-rank official, much higher than you, the county magistrate. If you don't want her to come out to see the queen, who else can you ask to come out to greet her?
Could it be that these little brats of yours are embarrassing themselves? The Queen will be furious when she sees them. You better not embarrass yourself in front of the Queen, or no one in this county will obey you in the future!
An Bihuai's most beloved concubine was unhappy at this moment. She immediately jumped out, rushed in front of Aunt Xiao, touched the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes with her hands, and even spat at her.
"Bah! I think you've lost your mind. The queen is the mistress's daughter, not yours. What are you so proud of? The master likes me, so he likes me. How can you say I'm a little cookie?"
Lin Xiu was now wearing a phoenix crown and a cloak. This dress was very carefully made. It was obvious that it was made and carefully preserved by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it was not the old item worn by Zhen Yunming.
Lin Xiu knew that she could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb like this, otherwise these concubines would not only take advantage of her, but if they bullied Aunt Xiao, it would be hard for her to be so nice to her.
"Okay, Master, there's nothing wrong with Concubine Xiao. Have you forgotten that you're just a county magistrate and can't afford to marry so many concubines? If you're reported to the censors, you'll be sent to jail."
An Bihuai swallowed his saliva when he heard that Jiang Wenxin was imprisoned. He still remembered the miserable look on Jiang Wenxin's face when he was first imprisoned.
He trembled a few times, but he didn't want his reputation to be controlled by a woman, so he mustered up the courage to retort: "With the queen here, even if I am in prison, I can be rescued."
Xiao Lianzi followed An Lingrong to Songyang County because An Lingrong had trained many young eunuchs in Yonghe Palace.
Therefore, there is no chief eunuch under his command. An intended to promote him, and Xiao Lianzi happily took on this responsibility.
An Lingrong's carriage has not arrived yet, so Xiao Lianzi wants to find out the situation in advance.
At this moment, he rode over, but saw this messy scene and immediately jumped off his horse.
Just now, he heard what Aunt Xiao said, and he also understood some of the relationships among them.
Seeing that An Bikui had no fawning expression like that towards the concubine's biological father, he simply gave a cold notice and said, "Your Majesty, they will be here soon. Lord An should be careful. Madam should stand in front. After all, the difference in your ranks is too great."
Xiao Lianzi's young face and feminine tone did not make anyone look down on him. Although he was a eunuch, he was the representative of imperial power when he walked around, and everyone could only say yes.
After many years of separation, An Lingrong finally returned to Songyang County. The two female officials beside her ordered the accompanying palace maids to distribute candies to the women, children and the elderly around them.
It seemed like a harmonious and happy scene, but when An Lingrong's gaze fell on the four brothers and two sisters behind An Bihuai, her face turned cold.
After An Lingrong entered the palace, she discovered how shameless An Bihuai was, using her mother's money to marry a concubine. The concubine's food, clothing, and children were also paid for by her mother's Suzhou embroidery.
How much silver did the county magistrate of Anbihuai County earn? He didn't dare to make too much money openly. After all, he bought his position, and there were countless people who were jealous and wanted to push him down.
An Lingrong often couldn't understand what it was about An Bihuai that attracted Lin Xiu and made her work so hard for him.
An Lingrong was supported by two female officials as she stepped down from the sedan chair. Everyone on the busiest street in Songyang County fell to their knees, shouting:
"We pay our respects to Her Majesty Concubine An, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and a long and prosperous life.
My Great Qing Dynasty is a place where all nations come to pay tribute and will last forever!
The overwhelming sound almost drowned An Lingrong's body.
An Lingrong couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes. She had actually come to this point.
But her and Liu Hua's opponents are too strong, and their future is still unknown.
