    As soon as Xiuzhen came home, she was called by the old man.

    The old man said to him: "Zhen'er, there is something I want to discuss with you."

    Xiuzhen said: "Grandpa, tell me what you want!"

    The old man said: "Today the county magistrate came to our house. He said that the county magistrate heard about you "marrying into Jiao's family with a memorial tablet" and admired your heroic behavior very much, so he decided to report your matter to the police.  Chaoting, build a chastity archway for you, what do you think about this matter?"

    Xiuzhen was very shocked when she heard that, she asked inexplicably: "Grandpa, "The Story of the Martyr" wrote about the chaste archway, but I have never seen the real archway, can I meet the requirements of the martyrdom?"

    Hearing Xiuzhen's answer, the old man sighed deeply and said, "Zhen'er, why can't you achieve it? You have done such a great thing. Not only Jiao's family admires you, but everyone in the county gives you a thumbs up.  Well, we can afford this archway."

    Xiuzhen twitched when she heard her grandfather say that, and said shyly, "Grandpa, I am willing to marry me, so please stop praising me, any girl would do that!"

    The old man looked at Xiuzhen and continued, "What do you think about the archway?"

    Xiuzhen replied: "Grandpa, I'm still young, and I don't understand many things. It's good that Grandpa decides for me."

    The old man had no choice but to say: "Well, since you said so, I will discuss with your father-in-law and make a decision."

    Xiuzhen's stomach was already rumbling with hunger. Seeing that her grandfather had finished asking questions, she hurried to the kitchen to find something to eat.

    The old man plucked his beard and thought for a while, then called Baekhyun's father, and the old man told him the reason for today's master's visit, and then said to him: "You are Xiuzhen's father-in-law, what should you do about this matter?"  ?¡±

    Baekhyun's father said without any hesitation after listening to the old man's words: "Father, this is a good thing, it should be established!"

    The old man asked, "Why?"

    Baekhyun's father said: "First, the scholarly disciples of the Jiao family gave birth to a chaste and strong daughter. This is an affirmation of our family's style. Second, it is also an affirmation of Xiuzhen. Xiuzhen's act of sacrificing her life for righteousness should be praised.  , wouldn't it be the best compliment for Xiuzhen to be praised by the court. Therefore, I think this archway should be erected, and our family should take the initiative and show a positive attitude."

    The old man did not speak after listening to his son's analysis. He was comparing it with Ding Erkang's analysis in his head. Gradually, his son's analysis gained the upper hand.  wall together".

    As for Ding Erkang's words "Xiuzhen is still young, she may not be able to accept such a large archway", he was left behind and disappeared without a trace.

    The next day, the old man of the Jiao family came to the county government office neatly dressed and full of energy to meet the master.

    He very courteously said to the master: "My lord, I have carefully considered what you said yesterday. The Jiao family can't wait for such a good thing. If there is anything that needs the cooperation of the Jiao family, just ask."

    The master clerk laughed happily "haha" when he heard it, and said: "It's not a wish, the county magistrate is also sympathetic to your family's new funeral, poor girl Xiuzhen, I want to win some face for your family, you must not disappoint the magistrate  All of my heart!"

    The old man of the Jiao family nodded and said yes, and kept saying: "Yes, yes, yes, it is not only the honor of my family but also the honor of the people of the county to be born a martyr.  There is brilliance!"

    The master book said proudly: "Of course, I will report to the county magistrate as soon as possible. The materials have to be passed up step by step, and I don't know when it will finally reach the emperor and queen mother Lafayette. You can go home and wait for it."  Good news, let's go!"

    After speaking, he waved his sleeves and went out.

    After receiving the reply from Jiao's family, the head secretary couldn't wait to report to Du Heng.

    When Du Heng heard that the Jiao family had no objections, he was also very happy. He immediately told the chief bookkeeper, "Hurry up and get the materials ready. I'm going to Fengtai Mansion to report to the magistrate tomorrow, and I just handed it over to the magistrate."

    The master clerk hurriedly replied: "The materials have been prepared, I will go and bring them to my lord now, my lord will see if there is anything wrong with it, I will quickly revise it."

    After speaking, I went back to get the materials.

    Du Heng is in a particularly good mood today, and he will be able to return to Fengtai tomorrow, and if time permits, he can go home and stay overnight.

    Having not seen Ling Shuanghua for a few days, Du Heng felt as uncomfortable as being pulled.

      Although Ling Shuanghua's face is always cold and he always looks like he doesn't care when he sees Du Heng, but Du Heng doesn't care, as long as Ling Shuanghua can stay by his side, he will be very happy.

    As for how Ling Shuanghua felt when he saw him, it was beyond Du Heng's concern.

    Du Heng secretly said to himself: "Such a good thing happened in Linggao County as soon as I came to Lingao County. I guess my official luck has improved. It seems that Linggao County is right to take up the post. Maybe I can borrow the matter of erecting a memorial archway.  , you can leave a deep impression on the hearts of the magistrates, governors, and even the emperor. From now on, your official career will be prosperous!"

    The more Du Heng thought about it, the happier he became. Ling Shuanghua seemed to be standing in front of him. Du Heng wished he could rush up to hug her face and kiss her hard.

    At this time, Ding Erkang had already finished Zhongwen's class, and he was anxious to see Xiuzhen and talk to her.

    Ding Erkang came to the front hall and found Xiuzhen who was eating in the kitchen.

    Xiuzhen had already finished her meal at this time, she saw Ding Erkang greeted hurriedly: "Sir, can I serve you a bowl of rice?"

    Ding Erkang waved his hand and said, "No, Xiuzhen, come out for a while, I have something to say to you."

    When Xiuzhen heard this, she hurriedly replied: "Okay, sir, I'll go out right away."

    Seeing Xiuzhen approaching, Ding Erkang asked in a low voice: "Xiuzhen, did the old man say anything to you today?"

    Xiuzhen answered me in a straightforward manner: "Grandpa called me over to tell me about the memorial arch just now. Is that what sir is talking about?"

    Ding Erkang nodded and said, "Yes, how did you respond to this matter?"

    Xiuzhen said: "I said I was still young, so I let grandpa decide for me. What's the matter, wouldn't it be good to set up a memorial archway?"

    Ding Erkang became anxious when he heard this, and he said, "It's not bad. It must be a good thing if an older woman with children becomes a widow and sets up an archway. But you are only fifteen years old and have no children.  Life is still so long, how can a memorial arch be imprisoned!"

    Xiuzhen looked at Ding Erkang and said in confusion: "Sir, can my future life still be changed? Shouldn't I be guarding Baekhyun's memorial tablet for the rest of my life?"

    Ding Erkang stared into Xiuzhen's eyes and said firmly: "Who said you should be a widow for the rest of your life? You are so young, anything can happen, you can't let the chastity archway imprison you!"

    After listening to Ding Erkang's words, Xiuzhen half-understood and said: "Sir, do I still hope to change?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
