Mrs. Zhen has a feeling that the more her family wants her daughter to keep a low profile, the more her daughter's reputation will spread.
Although the rank of the village owner is not high, he has a title, a salary, and must be listed in the county annals.
There are only a few in the country, not to mention that my daughter is a peasant girl.
When the news spread, I don't know how many daughters of wealthy families were envied.
Now that the emperor has issued an imperial edict, I am afraid that more and more people will know Xiao Fuyuan's name from now on.
I am afraid that the big tree will attract the wind.
Zhen's heart was full of mixed feelings.
"Sister Zhen, are you worried that Xiao Yuanbao will be burdened by fame in the future?" Ms. Zhou asked quietly.
Mrs. Zhen nodded slightly and said with a worried look on her face: "I'm always not at peace with myself."
Mrs. Zhou looked at Xiao Fuyuan's pink and white face and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry. The so-called lucky people have their own destiny. Since Xiao Yuanbao can become the village head, it means that she can afford it."
Zhen sighed and could only think like this.
But Bai Ban was very excited. Xiao Fuyuan took the imperial edict and held it in his hands reverently, smiling from ear to ear.
Also grinning from ear to ear was Bai Dazhuang. He stood next to the white wooden board and stared at his father's hands. The bright yellow imperial decree stung his eyes and made him cry.
"Dad, it turns out that this is what the imperial edict is." Bai Zhaomei was full of wonder and stretched out her hand, "Dad, can I touch it?"
"Go on, this is for your sister. What if it gets damaged? You can earn it yourself." Bai Banban said.
Bai Zhaomei has now followed Meng Zhixu. At this time, he is very envious of his sister and is determined to do a good job in the army and strive to make meritorious service as soon as possible to earn another imperial decree for his family.
When Bai Banban saw his second son beside him, he also stretched out his hand as if he was eager to touch it. His eyes widened, and Bai Erzhuang retracted his hand.
Xie Chuntao and Eugene Gui rarely stood together without any barriers, looking at the imperial decree with eager eyes.
The white board thought for a while and said to his son and daughter-in-law: "After lighting the lights at night, close the door and the whole family will touch it."
The Bai family members all said yes.
"Dad, when the time comes, our whole family will have to wash our hands and take a shower before we can touch the imperial edict. Everyone must touch it carefully."
Bai Banban felt that his younger son was right, and nodded to pay attention to Bai Dazhuang. When he read out the imperial edict, he had just returned from the fields and had a foot of mud. The eldest son was the one who needed to be washed away the most.
"Dad, I'm going to wash my feet. This imperial edict is not only for touching, but we also have to have my second brother read it over again, sentence by sentence."
The white board nodded, that's natural. Several members of the family are illiterate. Everyone who was reading Eunuch Hong just now was so excited that they didn't hear it clearly. In the evening, the second brother must be asked to read it again, word for word.
Not only did everyone have to listen, but they also had to memorize all the contents of the imperial edict.
These are all words the emperor used to praise his daughter.
…
"It's incredible. The little girl of Lao Bai's family has been made the head of the village by the emperor's decree."
With the voice of the village chief's wife standing at the door, the entire Shenshu Village began to boil again.
The excitement this time was comparable to when little Fukuoka was born.
The male farm laborers came back from the fields, the young wives who were cooking the fire came out of the kitchen, the children who were playing in the wheat field stopped playing, and everyone ran towards Lao Bai's house in a swarm.
Xiao Fuyuan of their village was actually named the village head by the emperor.
Ouch, this is really great news.
The emperor, who was thousands of miles away, actually knew about their Shenshu Village and that there was a girl named Xiao Yuanbao in their village.
All in all, their village can be regarded as a big shot.
—The emperor’s personal title to the village head!
The first one in the entire Huai City.
"What did I say back then? The words of Laitou Monk back then have come true, right? The daughter of the Lao Bai family is really lucky."
"Who says it's not the case? Xiao Yuanbao is indeed very talented. Even the emperor in the capital knows about her."
"Hey, who would have thought that the old Bai family, which was so poor before, could lose a golden phoenix."
"From what I can see, what's going on here? Maybe there will be even greater good luck waiting for you in the future."
"Hurry up, let's go see the emperor's personally appointed Lord Furong of the village."
"Yes, let's go quickly and get some luck from Little Yuanbao."
The village road in Shenshu Village was crowded with people. Everyone was laughing, talking, and running all the way to Lao Bai's house.
Lao Bai's house became lively again.
There were crowds of people everywhere inside and outside the house, and some people even couldn't squeeze in and climbed up the wall.
Yes, Lao Bai's family is now rich, and one side of the fence has been built into a tall blue brick wall, so they no longer have to worry about the fence being stepped on.
There was a crowd of people standing on the big blue brick wall.
Everyone must pay homage to the new Lord Furong.
Infected by the enthusiasm of the blind daters, Lao Bai's family made tea and washed the fruits.
At this time, Xiao Fuyuan was dressed up by Qiuniang and Xie Chuntao. She put on a red dress, her hair was pulled into two corners and tied with a red headband.
There is a gold collar gifted by the emperor around his neck, and gold bracelets gifted by the emperor on his hands and feet.
They look just like the dragon girl and lucky doll in the New Year paintings.
Feng Zhiheng couldn't help but laugh.
Then Bai Dazhuang carried her to the table in the yard.
Xiao Fuyuan was sitting at the table looking at the sky. She almost felt like she had carved the word "mascot" on her forehead, waiting for everyone to worship her.
"Let's meet the village head together." The village chief's wife waved to the wives.
"Yes, yes... I'd like to meet the village head, little one..."
"Lord, please bless my chickens to lay more eggs."
"My dear Lord, I have a great wish. I hope that my daughter-in-law will be a leader in this pregnancy."
Everyone lined up in a row, praying for their wishes while bowing to Xiao Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
I feel more and more like a mascot being enshrined.
"Can we hug the village head today and feel blessed?" the village chief's wife asked what everyone wanted to ask.
"Yes, you must give me a hug. If you give me a hug, you will be blessed with more blessings."
"I'll go first..."
"I'm in front of you..."
"Oops, you stepped on my shoe."
The wives of Shenshu Village, led by the village chief's wife, swarmed up and rushed to hug the little lucky ball on the table.
Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Bai were startled, and quickly rushed into the crowd with their female relatives to snatch little Fuyuan back.
I made a mistake. I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic. What should I do if I scare or crowd Xiao Fuyuan?
"Auntie, don't grab it! Look, you're scaring my little Yuanbao." Xie Chuntao pushed an aunt away and said loudly.
Eugene Gui's loud voice came in handy at this time. He yelled at the top of his lungs: "Sister-in-law, I'm here! Don't snatch it. The little round treasure belongs to our family. Even if you are lucky, it belongs to us. What does it have to do with you. Hey, Don't grab it, don't grab it...Sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law is here to save you."
Qiuniang's body was flexible and she squeezed in from several young wives. Her hairpins were all squeezed out. As soon as she reached Xiao Fuyuan's hand, she was pushed away by an older lady.
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Old ladies are really not easy to mess with.
Zhou and Feng Zhiheng were pushed aside and were shocked by the fighting power of the aunt and daughter-in-law of Shenshu Village.
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Village Chief Zhao quickly beat a gong and drum, jumped on a stool, and shouted to the crowd: "Don't hurt the little Yuanbao, don't grab it, everyone go and line up, one by one, everyone has it." I can hold it all in my arms. Go ahead, line up, line up."
