Chapter 406 Good News (Part 2)

After all the invitations were sent out, the news that Mu Nanjin became the Duke of Zhenguo also spread.

Not only the capital and the towns near the capital, but also He County, far away in the south of the Yangtze River, received the news.

County Magistrate Kong hurriedly led people to the Tang family mansion, and the head of the Tang family was Tang Wenzong, who had retired and returned to his hometown a few months ago.

Now Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru bought a mansion in He County with their parents and eldest son's family to live in peace. The only thing that made Tang Wenzong feel a headache was that his parents always wanted to return to Beijing to be officials, but now they could never go back.

When County Magistrate Kong arrived at the Tang family, he was taken to the hall and saw a young couple sitting in the main seat, and he was stunned for a moment.

The young man and woman stood up and greeted with a smile: "County Magistrate Kong, please sit down quickly."

County Magistrate Kong was puzzled: "Excuse me, who are you..."

"We are..."

Before the young man and woman could finish their words, Tang Wenzong, who had heard the news, interrupted them: "County Magistrate Kong, they are my distant relatives. They came to our Tang family because of their family's misfortune."

He walked up to the young man and woman and said kindly: "You go down first, I will greet County Magistrate Kong."

"We won't go down."

The young man and woman started to have a temper.

Tang Wenzong suddenly felt powerless and turned to County Magistrate Kong and said: "The two young people are still young and don't know the etiquette. Please forgive me, County Magistrate Kong."

Still young?

County Magistrate Kong looked at the young man and woman. They were definitely over 18 years old and came to seek refuge, but they didn't know the etiquette. If it were him, he would have driven them out long ago. Only Tang Wenzong would have such a good temper. Not only was he not angry, but he also treated them politely.

However, none of this was his business.

County Magistrate Kong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here to tell you good news this time."

"Announce good news?" Tang Wenzong was puzzled: "What's the good news?"

The young man and woman asked excitedly: "Is Jingrui promoted again?"

County Magistrate Kong waved his hand quickly: "No, no."

At this time, Jiang Zhenru came in with tea and fruit cakes.

The servant filled a glass of water for County Magistrate Kong: "County Magistrate Kong, please have tea."

County Magistrate Kong hurriedly said: "Thank you, Madam Tang."

Jiang Zhenru asked politely: "Just now I heard County Magistrate Kong say that I came to announce good news. I don't know what good news it is."

County Magistrate Kong took a sip of tea and said excitedly: "It's your niece..."

"Niece?" Jiang Zhenru and Tang Wenzong looked at each other: "Which niece?"

"It's Mu Nanjin Mu Lord, oh, no, she shouldn't be called Mu Lord, now everyone calls her Zhenguogong."

"Zhen, Zhenguogong ? "

Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru stared in disbelief: "Mr. Kong, are you sure? Mu Nanjin became the Duke of Zhenguo?"

"How could I be wrong? The capital sent a message and specifically asked me to tell you. After all, the Duke of Zhenguo grew up in the Tang family and is your closest relative, so I have to tell you the good news. Although the journey is too long to return to the capital to attend the celebration banquet for the Duke of Zhenguo, I have ordered a table of wine and food in the big restaurant in He County to celebrate for her."

Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru were so shocked that they could not speak for a long time.

They could never have imagined that the little girl who was timid and crybaby and liked to chase their son was actually named the Duke of Zhenguo. What an honor it was, and even their Tang family was also blessed.

"What Duke of Zhenguo? What rank is that?" The two young men and women asked curiously.

"What rank? That's not calculated by rank." County Magistrate Kong laughed: "Zhenguogong is a title, the first rank of duke."

Seeing that the young man and woman still didn't understand, he explained again: "Let me put it this way, the rank of Zhenguogong is only slightly lower than that of prince and county king. The left prime minister, right prime minister and civil and military officials of the current dynasty must salute the Zhenguogong when they see her, and the emperor has also ordered that the position of Zhenguogong can be inherited."

The young man and woman finally understood what Zhenguogong was, and their mouths and eyes were wide open.

"This, such a high rank?"

"How did she get so high? Our grandson..."

Tang Wenzong quickly came to his senses and interrupted them: "Maodian and Xinhe must not be rude to County Magistrate Kong."

"..."

Maodian and Xinhe had a lot to say, but it was difficult to ask, which really made them feel suffocated.

Tang Wenzong said to County Magistrate Kong: "Thank you for telling us this."

County Magistrate Kong smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, you are too polite. I will pick you up to have dinner at the restaurant in a few days. I have official business to attend to, so I won't stay here."

Tang Wenzong tried to persuade him: "County Magistrate Kong, please have lunch here before going back."

"I am really busy with official business now, and I have to go back to deal with it. Please forgive me."

"Well, when County Magistrate Kong is free, I will invite you to our house for a gathering."

"Okay, I will definitely come to your house next time."

Tang Wenzong made a gesture of invitation: "I will see County Magistrate Kong out."

"How can I do that? No need to see you off. No need to see you off."

County Magistrate Kong declined, but Tang Wenzong still insisted on seeing him off to the door and personally watched County Magistrate Kong get on the carriage.

Then, the person who had been following them also jumped onto the carriage and sat next to the driver.

When Tang Wenzong saw the other person, his expression paused slightly.

"Mr. Kong, take care."

Jiang Zhenru watched Mr. Kong's carriage leave, and turned back when she could no longer see the carriage, only to see her husband in a daze.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

"Just now..." Tang Wenzong pointed to the direction where the carriage left: "It's the person sitting next to the driver."

Jiang Zhenru was puzzled: "What's wrong with that person? Is there any problem?"

"I just think he looks familiar."

Jiang Zhenru couldn't help laughing: "That person is Mr. Kong's man, and Mr. Kong has met us many times. Isn't it normal for you to think he looks familiar?"

"I mean, I seem to have seen him in the capital."

Jiang Zhenru was slightly stunned: "Capital? Are you sure?"

Tang Wenzong really couldn't think of who the other person was: "Maybe the other person just looks alike."

"We have already After leaving Beijing, you are no longer an official in the officialdom. Even if the other party is from Beijing, it has nothing to do with us. "

Tang Wenzong nodded: "That's right. Apart from my son, the officials and friends in Beijing who used to come here can't find me here. People are gone and tea is cold. "

"Okay, don't think about the past, let's go back to the house."

Tang Wenzong was overwhelmed when he heard about going back to the house: "I don't want to go back now."

Jiang Zhenru thought of the two people in the hall and frowned: "Hearing you say that, I don't want to go back either."

Tang Wenzong: "..."

At the same time, the carriage that had not gone far suddenly stopped.

The person sitting in County Magistrate Kong's carriage jumped off and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Kong. When I return, I will report this to the governor. The governor will definitely find an opportunity to promote County Magistrate Kong."

County Magistrate Kong hurried out to thank him, "Thank the governor for me."

The other party nodded, jumped up to the roof and flew to the Tang family, then hid in the dark and watched Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru walk into the hall. Then, a shocked cry came from the house.
