As darkness fell and the dinner party was about to begin, Fu Manman changed into the gorgeous dress prepared by the maids.
After getting dressed, the maid led me to the front hall.
She had visited this front hall when she was wandering around. It seemed very ordinary during the day, but at night, lanterns were hung outside and it was brightly lit.
As she approached the hall, she saw a lot of people in the hall, and the silk and bamboo were melodious. At a glance, she saw Zhong Li Hongyuan sitting on the main seat.
"The fifth lady has arrived." The attendant at the door announced.
At this moment, the voices in the room suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Fu Manman.
Fu Manman walked into the hall holding up his skirt.
"Is this the fifth lady who won the ring?"
"She is the daughter of a concubine that Zhongli's family sent back to their hometown Zhuangzi a few years ago."
"When I came back this time, I was beaten from the ring. It was really amazing."
"I never expected that the Zhongli family would have such a capable daughter."
"But there are rumors outside that this time the Zhongli family did not give out titles to the winner of the competition."
"If we don't enfeoff, we will break the trust of the people in the world!"
"Just because she's a woman, we can't deny enfeoffment!"
"What kind of woman is this? Just because she is a daughter, she is not enfeoffed!"
Fu Manman stood in the hall, listening to the whispers of the onlookers in the hall.
This was the result she wanted. She looked up at Zhongli Hongyuan and said loudly: "Master Zhongli, I won the competition. When will I fulfill my promise?"
Zhongli Hongyuan's hand holding the cup shook. He didn't expect that his daughter would ask here.
At this time, some children of the aristocratic family who were not too big to watch the excitement said: "Yes! Although she is a woman, it is true that she killed the giant python. The promised enfeoffment should still be honored!"
The person who spoke was a member of the Gongsun family of the Gongyi family in the capital, and he wanted to go against the Zhongli family.
"And the two million taels I won should also be given to me." Fu Manman stood there and said without being humble or arrogant.
Today she was going to get everything that belonged to her in front of so many people.
When Zhongli Changyi heard this, he twitched his lips and smiled coldly.
He knew that this old man would definitely use public opinion to influence this matter.
Fortunately, he had already prepared a way to deal with it.
"Everyone, today's banquet is prepared for the purpose of entrusting this time's champion!" Zhongli stood up in his seat.
Everyone was surprised when they saw him standing up.
"Third Young Master, stand up!"
"His leg is healed!"
"The miraculous medical saint really cured the Third Young Master's leg. This is amazing."
"Today, the Zhongli family has a miraculous medical saint and a daughter who is the concubine of the champion. This family will become more and more powerful in the future!"
When Zhong Li Hongyuan heard everyone's discussion, he felt proud. This was exactly what he wanted to see.
He said: "Everyone, the Zhongli family will not look down on any ambitious person. Even if the challenger this time is not my biological daughter, but the daughter of another family, I will still give her a reward!"
After he finished speaking, he applauded, and servants walked into the hall carrying boxes one by one.
After all the boxes were put away and the lids were opened, a flash of light and a dazzling light made everyone stare.
It's all white silver and golden gold.
"The two million taels of silver are all here! Zhongli Zixi, you have earned these by yourself, and they all belong to you." Zhongli Changyi pointed at these.
In the hall, many women were stunned, with expressions of envy and jealousy.
Some ladies from aristocratic families cannot help but say a few sour words.
"You're just from the countryside, how can you afford to live with so much money?"
"I'm afraid she won't be able to enjoy this much money."
"Such a small amount is not even enough for a dowry!" A snobbish lady from an aristocratic family sneered.
Fu Manman didn't take these harsh words to heart.
This group of people has such a big appetite that even two million taels of silver is not enough. Such a large amount of money can make thousands of poor people have enough food and clothing.
"Thank you, Master!" Fu Manman bowed to the person in charge!
"Since you have received the reward, let people carry these down!" Zhongli Changyi said to Manman.
At this time, a servant came over and asked Fu Manman, "Miss, please lead the way."
…
What do you mean? Could it be that you called her here just to give her such a small amount of money in front of everyone, and then send her away like this!
The fiefdom was the most important thing, and they didn't want to give her a fiefdom.
Fu Manman then stretched out his hand to stop the servants' movements, turned to Zhongli Hongyuan and said: "Master, I remember that the rules of the competition are very clear. The leader who wins the competition in the end can get a fief. Please give me a piece of land."
My fiefdom is worthy of the map."
At this time, the crowd in the hall started talking lively again.
"That's right! You have given your word to the fief, so you can't break your promise!" Higashino Baiyu said in a cheerful tone.
He was firmly on Fu Manman's side.
"Never has a woman been a member of the Qianhu family."
"Brother, in the Zhongli family, no woman has ever received a fief." Zhongli Ruolan said.
She worked so hard to get the fiefdom, but in the end she just got the privilege of raising a female warrior privately.
She didn't even get a fief, so why should this lowly concubine's daughter get one?
In the face of public discussion.
Zhongli Changyi's face was very calm, because he had already prepared countermeasures.
At this time, he said: "Zhongli Zixi, according to the rules of the Zhongli family, as the daughter of the Zhongli family, you are not allowed to have a fief. But since you have won the championship, then according to the rules of the competition, you are given a fief."
necessary."
"But you can't violate family rules. This matter is really difficult to handle!" Zhongli Changyi looked embarrassed.
At this time, people from other aristocratic families also agreed, which is difficult to handle!
"What's so hard to do? You just don't want to give it. You're bullying your sister for being a girl!" Higashino Boyu said loudly.
Fu Manman silently praised Dongye Baiyu in his heart! This kid is very annoying, but he is still very powerful at critical moments.
Among the people present, there were also some who spoke for Fu Manman.
Fu Manman didn't know these people, but looking at the way they looked at Huangfu Feiran, Fu Manman knew that these were the entrustments Huangfu Feiran had found for her!
Fu Manman was secretly happy. As expected, her good brothers did not disappoint her.
"Everyone, be quiet! Zhongli Zixi is a member of the Zhongli family and the champion this time. Our Zhongli family has promised that whoever wins the championship will have a fief. This promise will never be broken, but in order to balance the family's
Family rules, so this time we decided that if we want to get the fief, we have to fight for it ourselves!"
At this moment, Zhong Li Changyi clapped his hands, and a servant immediately sent three Kanyu maps.
And unfolded them one by one in front of Fu Manman.
"Fifth sister, you are so brave and you want to get the fief, so now you have three opportunities. You can choose one of them to conquer the land yourself. If you conquer it, it will be yours." Zhongli Changyi pointed out.
Look at the three maps in front of you and introduce them one by one.
