It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Chapter 158 Breaking the Fantasy



Chapter 158 Breaking the Fantasy

The second lady showed a look of surprise on her face.

The Third Madam lowered her voice and said, "Didn't you notice? Xingzhu is becoming more and more like Xingchen."

The second wife stopped what she was doing and looked at the third wife in shock.

They were preparing a dowry for Zhang Fan. When the Second Lady heard what the Third Lady said, she suddenly came to her senses and it seemed to be the case.

When did this start?

It seems to be from last fall.

"You said I was so confused this day, how come I didn't notice it?"

"It's not just Xingzhu. Haven't you noticed? Whether it's Xingxian, Jizhou, or Yuzhou, the girls are wearing different clothes when they go out." The third lady lowered her voice and said

The Second Madam groaned, "You know what... it's true. It seems that many girls don't want to wear those cumbersome women's clothes anymore and have started to wear men's clothes."

"I'm telling you, I've tried it, and it's really convenient."

"It's so easy to go to bed. Just take off your shirt and pants..." said the third lady.

The second wife looked at the third wife meaningfully.

"And second sister-in-law, what age are we? You're still teasing me like this. I'm just telling you, it's indeed convenient. To put it bluntly, it's even faster to go to the toilet." The third lady's cheeks turned slightly red when she was looked at by the second lady.

The second wife laughed out loud.

"I think it's a good thing that Xingzhu is becoming more and more like Xingchen." said the Third Lady.

"But, this marriage..." The second wife sighed.

"My eldest brother has proposed marriage to Xingchen many times, but Xingchen has always refused. She has no interest at all."

"Originally, there was only one person of her age left, Zhang Fan. Now Zhang Fan has a child."

"Where do you think we can find another man for her?"

"I heard that she conquered a lot of land this time, and now she is in charge of a very large area." said the second wife.

"It's not easy to marry off such a capable woman." The third wife also looked worried.

"There are few men in this world who are more capable than her, except for the princes and nobles."

"I don't think even this prince or nobleman is as powerful as her..."

"Mom, aunt, who are you gossiping about?" Lu Xingzhu walked in.

"Look at you, the tone of your voice, is it the way you should talk to your mother and your aunt?" The Second Madam glared at Lu Xingzhu.

"Besides, if your dad sees you dressed like this, he will scold you again."

"Today I will stand with Sister Xingchen. I want to see how he dares to scold me." Lu Xingzhu raised his chin proudly.

"Look, Third Sister-in-law, she's talking to me like this now, and she has to confront me." The Second Lady covered her chest in anger.

"Where is Sister Xingchen?" Lu Xingzhu asked.

"Your father, your uncle, and your younger uncle went to the Chen family to propose marriage." said the third lady.

"Then why don't you wait for me to come back?" Lu Xingzhu stamped her feet anxiously.

"These are matters of the elders. What does it have to do with you?" The second wife looked speechless.

"What do you mean it doesn't matter? If Sister Xingchen can go, why can't I go?" Lu Xingzhu said as he turned around and walked quickly outside.

"He Zhang, hurry up, what are you doing standing there? You're an idiot." Lu Xingzhu called out to He Zhang while running.

He Zhang didn't even have time to say hello to the second and third wives, so he had to follow Lu Xingzhu outside.

"Now there's a little fool following her." The second wife looked at the two children's leaving backs with a speechless expression.

The third lady laughed out loud, "I think He Zhang is very smart."

"Be careful, He Zhang might kidnap your daughter."

"He dares...he dares to have any thoughts about my daughter. I will break his legs." The second wife said fiercely.

Lu Xingchen did come to the Chen family to propose marriage with Lu Kui, Lu Nian, and Lu Yunfeng.

She originally didn't want to come, but her status was there, and if she didn't come it would seem that the Chen family would think that the Lu family looked down on them.

So Lu Xingchen came.

However, since this was a family matter, she would not put on the airs of a military commander.

So, she just followed Lu Kui obediently, like a dumb quail.

Propose marriage, give betrothal gifts, and set the wedding date.

The Chen family's young lady's belly was getting bigger and it was about to show, so they dared not delay. They chose the nearest auspicious day and prepared to get the two married.

This auspicious day was calculated by Yuan Tianshi with his fingers, so it was certainly in line with the will of heaven and the will of the people.

The wedding cannot be rushed and will take several days to prepare.

Lu Xingchen rode a horse and took Ling Xiao and others back to Xing County, Song County and other places to take a look.

Lu Kui just came from Jizhou, and Lu Yunfeng just came from Yongzhou, so she doesn't have to worry about these places.

But she had a special feeling for these earlier counties and she still wanted to go and see them.

Xingxian, Wanxian, Songxian and Tengxian are the four counties where she started her life and are her foundation.

Although these four counties seem to have a small territory and a small population, they have a special meaning to her.

Lu Xingchen always wanted to see prosperity and flourishing here.

Only when she sees the people here living well can she feel that everything she does is meaningful.

This is a chaotic world, people are displaced and human life is worthless.

Although she is ambitious, she also hopes to create a peaceful and prosperous world through her own efforts, so that ordinary people in the world can have food to eat and the weak can find a place to live and settle down.

To establish a destiny for the people and create peace for all generations.

As her territory grew and the people she commanded increased, these words of her ancestor kept lingering in her mind.

If she only had one county, she would not feel confident in saying such words, not to mention that it is difficult for ordinary people to utter such lofty words.

As an ordinary person, when I read such poems, I cannot feel the majestic and righteous spirit in the words.

Only when you sit in this position, are at a certain height, possess the power that matches it, and have the people and the world in your heart, can you truly feel the lofty spirit that these majestic words stir in your heart.

Lu Xingchen took Ling Xiao and Fei Xue walking on the streets of Xing County.

Lu Nie had very good governance ability. Under his governance, Xing County was in good order, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and commerce was prosperous.

Some ordinary people on the streets of Xing County actually recognized her, and while avoiding her, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her.

It was not easy for Lu Xingchen to help them, as once he did, more people would kneel down.

She pretended not to see it, stepped forward and continued walking.

Some young ladies I saw on the street were dressed in a similar style to hers.

Unexpectedly, her makeup and dress became popular in Xing County and Yuzhou.

Her makeup and dressing style will also be popular among women in other places in the future.

Lu Xingchen returned to the small courtyard where he had lived before and stayed there for one night. The next day, he left Xing County and went to Song County...

Song County was the first county that Lu Xingchen took over. In the earliest period, Lu Yunfeng was the county magistrate here, and later he handed it over to Linghu Qing.

Linghu Qing has governed here for the longest time, but the current governor is a county magistrate named Wang, who was transferred from Yongzhou.

Originally, Lu Xingchen thought that she could enjoy the same beauty as in Tongxing County, but unfortunately, her fantasy was shattered as soon as she entered Song County.

"Catch this little bitch for me. She wants to run away. She really doesn't know her place..." A man's arrogant voice came into Lu Xingchen's ears.
