Chapter 429 One Family, Two Marquises
Ten days later, Dou Weiyi returned by boat with his men!
"I'm coming!"
Upon seeing the black dragon flag planted at the bow of the ship, everyone waiting on the shore was filled with excitement.
"Ali!"
With her face injured, Ayu waved vigorously at the bow of the boat.
Dou Weiyi glanced at him, a smile playing on her lips, and crossed her arms. "Look how excited you are! We're almost at shore. Don't rush, be careful not to fall in!"
Upon hearing this, Ayu straightened up and glared at Dou Weiyi.
A gesture was made.
Qian Yan'er and the chubby girl snapped their fingers together, tilted their necks, and walked toward Dou Weiyi with gloomy expressions.
"Hey, hey, let me tell you, I am now Prince Xian'an, so don't you dare disobey me!"
Dou Weiyi pointed at the two of them with his neck stiff and backed away, but before he knew it, he was tripped by the fat girl's outstretched foot.
He landed on his backside, but didn't forget to straighten his askew princely crown, saying, "I'm telling you, don't come any closer!"
Qian Yan'er had small steps, but she ran incredibly fast.
Like a small cannonball, it charged straight at his groin, while the chubby girl slowly swayed over, blocking his retreat with her fleshy body.
"Your Majesty?"
Qian Yan'er reached out and precisely grabbed Dou Weiyi's collar, pulling hard, "Today I'll show you what it means to be destitute and ready to die for your cause!"
Dou Weiyi yelled and was about to kick someone when the fat girl pounced on him like a mountain crashing down on him.
With her figure, she didn't even need to lift a finger; she simply sat down on Dou Weiyi.
Then there was a "click".
Whether it was the cracking of bones or the cracking of the boat plank on the ground, Dou Weiyi instantly turned red like a deflated pig bladder, unable to even shout.
Qian Yan'er seized the opportunity, quickly climbed to Dou Weiyi's leg, grabbed one of his legs, and used all her strength to pry it to one side.
"Fatty, hold on tight! I'm going to twist this prince's legs into a pretzel today!"
Dou Weiyi gasped in pain, tears welling in her eyes, "They've rebelled! They've rebelled!"
Qian Yan'er, stop right there!
Ouch, ouch, be gentle!
Qian Yan'er, you shorty, how come you have such a strong grip!
Okay!
"I was wrong, okay? Stop it!"
Ayu stood aside with her arms crossed. Seeing that it was about time, she waved her hand, and the two stopped, still wanting more.
Qian Yan'er triumphantly let go, put her hands on her hips, and looked up at Dou Weiyi: "Wouldn't it have been better to do this earlier? It's none of your business to tell us what to do about the affairs of the Five Villains!"
After saying that, he puffed out his chest!
You can be short, but you can't lack presence!
Dou Weiyi cursed inwardly, secretly making a mental note to cut Qian Yan'er's wages in half this month!
The ship suddenly rocked.
The guards brought the boat to shore!
"Fatty, Fatty!"
As the ship finally arrived and the people he had been waiting for returned, Pang You was very anxious. He jumped up and down in the crowd, waving the roast duck in his hand!
The glistening roast duck was held high, its aroma wafting onto the boat on the wind.
The chubby girl's nose twitched first, and her eyes instantly lit up like lanterns.
Following the sound of ducks searching for people, they immediately spotted the anxious constable Pang on the shore.
"Pang You!"
The chubby girl laughed and was happy. She stepped on the gunwale and leaped down to Pang You's side. She took the steaming roast duck from Pang You's hand and took a bite.
Heaven knows that during their marches and battles, they ate dry biscuits and drank icy river water every day, and hadn't had hot food in a long time.
While eating, the chubby girl started crying.
Pang You was heartbroken and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face. But when he looked up, he saw a shocking scar under his beloved girl's bangs.
Pang You's hand paused, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice trembled slightly: "Fatty... does it still hurt?"
The chubby girl shook her head, her voice slightly choked, "It doesn't hurt anymore!"
After saying that, he took a big bite of the roast duck and sobbed.
"Wait, eat slowly!"
Pang You quickly opened the hot water bottle at his waist and fed the chubby girl a sip.
Then he pulled a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) out of his blouse. "Fatty, I was worried it would get cold by the time I got there, so I put it in my inner garment to keep it warm. Luckily, it's not cold. Try it!"
The roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) still carried the warmth of Pang You's chest, wrapped in oil paper, and steaming slightly when it was unwrapped.
Upon seeing this, the chubby girl suddenly felt like crying.
If it were just now, she would only feel wronged, unable to eat well, and not warm enough.
That's what I'm feeling right now.
She had just taken the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) when Pang You pulled out a bag of pastries from his pocket and handed it to her: "Fatty, when you left, the osmanthus flowers in the county town were in full bloom, and you told me you wanted to eat osmanthus cake."
But you were appointed to this critical mission, and by the time I bought the goods, you had already left, and I didn't get to taste a single piece.
This is the osmanthus cake I made this morning, before dawn, after I'd already dragged the shopkeeper out of bed... uh, I mean, woke him up early. Try it!
As he spoke, he pinched a piece and gently put it into the chubby girl's mouth!
The osmanthus cake was soft, sticky, and sweet, with the fragrance of osmanthus blending with the sweetness of rice cake, melting on the tip of the tongue.
The chubby girl had a pastry in her mouth, and tears streamed down her face.
She raised her teary eyes and stared at the caring face in front of her. "Pang You, let's get married!"
Pang You: "??!!"
"Hey, Fatty, what did you say?"
Pang You realized this too late and couldn't believe it!
"Silly boy, you're going to have a wife soon!"
At that moment, Zhen Xiaoxi's voice came from the side.
She was so frustrated with her son; he wouldn't agree soon enough, and she was getting so anxious!
"What are you still standing there for!"
Pang Dahai was furious and smacked Pang You on the head with a large shovel.
"Ouch!"
Pang You jumped up, clutching the back of his head, wincing in pain.
However, after that knock, the confusion in his eyes dissipated almost completely, and his gaze became much clearer.
He suddenly realized what was happening, grabbed the chubby girl's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Chubby girl! Let's get married, let's get married right now!"
After saying that, he tried to hug the chubby girl and spin her around.
But when he tried, the chubby girl wouldn't budge an inch.
……
The chubby girl swept him up in her arms around the waist, lifting him as easily as a chick. With a light tap of her toes, she spun him around in the circles he had always dreamed of.
The wind whistled in his ears, and Pang You let out a startled "Aww!" and instinctively grabbed the fat girl's neck.
"Hahaha!"
Upon seeing this, everyone around burst into laughter!
Dou Weiyi smiled as she stepped off the deck.
The moment his feet touched the ground, he raised the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and proclaimed, "Gao Mengli and Lin Xi, receive the edict!"
The noise stopped abruptly.
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi exchanged a glance, then both composed themselves and knelt down on the ground.
Upon seeing this, the villagers of Wangyue Village immediately knelt down.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:
Gao Mengli and Lin Xi have made great contributions to improving rice varieties, controlling locusts, and transforming hilly areas. They have also saved the people from suffering. Their achievements are truly remarkable, and I am very pleased.
Huo Tong achieved extraordinary feats in the military camp, and Gao Mengli was specially appointed as the Marquis of Dingguo, in charge of the Shenji Battalion, to reorganize military equipment and develop gunpowder.
"The Emperor hereby appoints Lin Xi as Marquis of Jing'an, grants him a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and a fief of a hundred households in Yongzhou. Wangyue Village is also granted as his fiefdom. This is the imperial decree!"
Dou Weiyi read the imperial edict aloud in a clear and resounding voice, and then unfolded it and handed it to the two men.
