There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 451

"Speak quickly." Liu Huixiang urged.

"Miss, don't worry." Zhang Cuihua thought for a while, suppressed her inner excitement, and then said slowly:

"Master Su has made great achievements this time. He planned strategies in Youzhou City and annihilated [-] of the [-] invading Liao troops and captured more than [-]!"

"According to Captain Luo, this is the only victory we have won in Daliang in more than ten years, and it is also the only great victory! It is enough to be recorded in the history books!"

Liu Huixiang was filled with joy after hearing this. Her fair and delicate face was flushed with excitement, and there was no trace of sleepiness at all. This is why people feel refreshed during happy events.

Zhang Cuihua continued: "For such a great contribution, the reward is naturally extremely generous..."

She first briefly recounted the regular rewards, which were lands, land deeds, servants, gold and silver, cloth, grain, exquisite utensils, etc.

She relayed them one by one, and Liu Huixiang listened to them one by one, without feeling cumbersome at all.

After narrating, Liu Huixiang smiled happily and said: "Young Master is an extraordinary person. He is obviously a scholar, but he can achieve such military exploits. I am..."

Her face was as red as if it could bleed, and she added silently in her heart: "I really want to give birth to a monkey for you right away!"

Zhang Cuihua said with a meaningful smile:

"Miss, it's not over yet."

"It's not over yet?"

"Yes. At the celebration banquet, Princess Lanling expressed that she would like to request your Majesty to issue an edict to make Mr. Su a founding county marquis from the third rank!"

"Marquis of Founding County?!"

Liu Huixiang was really surprised by this. She stood up directly from the bed and stared at Zhang Cuihua with her mouth wide open.

She was born in a wealthy family, so she was naturally familiar with the laws of the imperial court. She was the founding Marquis of the county, and was of the third rank. Moreover, the current Lord of the Liang Dynasty was very precious and had a high gold content.

If Su Xian can be awarded the title of Marquis of Kaiguo County, he will really be the ancestor of Guangzong.

She remembered clearly that her ruthless father had dreamed of becoming a baron, the lowest rank, but had never succeeded.

And Su Xian won the title of Marquis of the Founding County in one fell swoop by virtue of his military exploits, which shocked Liu Huixiang quite violently.

"Marquis of Founding County..."

She didn't know how to express her happiness. Her husband was about to become a lord. Although it was unlikely that she would become a wife, it was enough to envy thousands of women in the world.

Her journey along the way has been extremely bumpy, and she "killed" her fiancé several times, but she never expected that she would be worthy of a noble lord in the end...

The world is impermanent!
Zhang Cuihua pursed her lips, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and then said: "However, Mr. Su did not accept it, he declined!"

Liu Huixiang was startled, with a smile still hanging on the corner of her mouth. She looked at Zhang Cuihua blankly. Was her happiness in vain just now?

Zhang Cuihua took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The reason why Mr. Su declined politely is because he wanted to exchange his title of third-grade Founding County Marquis for the title of 'equal wife' for you, Miss."

The smile at the corner of Liu Huixiang's mouth slowly dissipated, and her blank expression disappeared, replaced by infinite emotion. Her eyes filled with tears, and her face burst into tears, and she said in a trembling voice:
"I... have a bad reputation and am too old. It is not worthy for the young master to give up the title of Founding County Marquis for me... The young master loves me so much, and I have nothing to repay..."

Her tears seemed to be free of charge, rolling down her cheeks like beads. While crying, she said: "I am not worth it... I am willing to fulfill the master's wish..."

"..."

About a month ago, Su Xian made a bet with her. If Su Xian could earn her the status of an equal wife within a month, then Su Xian's wishes would be followed.

At that time, Liu Huixiang agreed without hesitation.

Because she didn't think Su Xian could do it.

After all, it is against ethics to have an equal wife. Since ancient times, a wife has been a wife and a concubine has been a concubine. There has never been such an equal wife.

Su Xian's plan to defy the ancient ethics in an upright and open manner is like a foolish old man moving a mountain. If the resistance is not even the slightest bit big, it is impossible to do it.

Her idea was very simple. After a month, Su Xian lost the bet, then she could legitimately marry Su Xian as her concubine according to her wishes.

But who would have thought that Su Xian would make such great military exploits when he went to Youzhou in the north, and Princess Lanling wanted to bestow the title of Marquis of the Founding County, but he actually exchanged the title for the status of a flat wife...

Not worth it!
Liu Huixiang was half moved and half regretful, thinking that she had harmed Su Xian and should not have made a bet with Su Xian in the first place.

Zhang Cuihua was a little flustered. She was surprised. Why was the young lady crying so much?
Without thinking about it, she immediately said with a mixture of laughter and tears: "Miss, please don't cry. I haven't finished speaking yet. There will be a turning point later."

"Is there any chance of improvement later?" Liu Huixiang stopped sobbing and blaming herself, but there were still hot tears rolling down her cheeks in her watery eyes.

"Later, Princess Lanling decided to not only petition Your Majesty to issue an edict to confer the title of Marquis to Mr. Su, but also agreed to include the request for an equal wife in the memorial. Everyone is happy!"

Zhang Cuihua didn't dare to be mysterious and finished it in one breath, because she was afraid that her young lady wouldn't be able to bear the teasing and would be happy and shed tears.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true."

"It's so good, so good..." Liu Huixiang turned sideways and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Her face turned red and she avoided Zhang Cuihua's probing gaze.

"Oops!" Liu Huixiang suddenly exclaimed, turning her head, her eyes were like peaches.

"What's wrong, miss?" Zhang Cuihua was startled.

"What time is it now? I haven't dressed yet!" As she spoke, Liu Huixiang got up by herself, walked to the dressing table, and picked up a mahogany comb to comb through the slightly messy three thousand black hair.

"Miss, there's no need to worry. Mr. Su still has many chores to deal with. He won't be able to come back tonight. He won't be able to go home until tomorrow at the earliest." Zhang Cuihua said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, I just want to dress up." Liu Huixiang combed her hair according to the bronze mirror, said a little coquettishly, and then urged Zhang Cuihua to fetch a basin of hot water, she wanted to wash her face.

Zhang Cuihua had no choice but to prepare hot water and then help her lady dress up.

Not long after, a woman in her prime appeared. She had a slender figure, bright clothes, cloud-like hair on her temples, and a fair and delicate face that could be broken by a blow, making her lovable.

As she walked around, the pearls and golden tassels on her temples swayed gently, making her look very beautiful.

When sitting or lying down, her posture is dignified, her face is serene with a faint smile, and she has an outstanding temperament, just like a noble lady.

The night is long.

But Liu Huixiang didn't feel lonely at all.

She walked to the window and looked at the lights of thousands of houses in Yingzhou City. The gentle night breeze blew by, and the hair on her temples and the ribbons on her clothes fluttered in the wind.

"I am waiting for my beloved to return." Liu Huixiang murmured to herself.
