There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 679
[Chapter 679, Changing the lintel]
Yan’s family became famous because of the Loyalty Archway bestowed by the emperor, and also because of the 200,000 shi of medicinal materials donated.
You must know that the emperor would not easily reward something like a memorial archway that flaunts merit and can be used for inheritance, let alone inscribed the word “loyalty” himself.
Hundreds of officials reacted differently.
The one with a wide heart is secretly envious.
Those who are narrow-minded and jealous, read the Yan family’s book in the last court. ”Your Majesty, the Yan family
came from Gengdu. How can they get 200,000 shi of medicinal materials? Yan Zhigao must have been corrupt and accepted bribes. Please punish Yan Zhigao strictly.”
Shi Yushi, who came out with a righteous face, didn’t speak slowly until he was sweating profusely when he saw Shi Yushi, “Is there any evidence for Aiqing’s righteous words?”
Shi Yushi has no evidence, he Even if he thought that the 200,000 shi medicinal materials might not be able to be produced by an established family, let alone the Yan family who came from a poor family.
Before Shi Yushi could think about how to reply, Wu Jingyi stood up with a smile: “Back to the emperor, I am in charge of supervising the collection of medicinal materials. After learning that Yan Zhifu wanted to donate medicinal materials, I started to investigate the source of these medicinal materials.”
” In recent years, the Yan family has indeed acquired a lot of land, but except for a small part of these fields are good fields, most of these fields were obtained by reclaiming wasteland.”
“Everyone knows that the land in Ningmen Mansion is poor. , When I saw so much wasteland vacant, I felt distressed, so I took the lead in reclaiming it.”
“Nowadays, Ningmen Mansion’s taxes can be raised, mostly because of the credit for reclaiming wasteland.”
Some officials questioned: “The wasteland is barren, even if It is impossible to grow so many medicinal materials.”
Wu Jingyi smiled: “Have you forgotten who introduced the high-yielding wheat varieties that are widely planted in Daxia? Shi Yushi also said that Yan The Yan family was born in farming and studying, and the Yan family is better at farming than us, we have to admit that.”
After hearing this, the officials fell silent.
Without him, high-yielding wheat seeds are also planted in their fields now.
At this time, the emperor said: “There is an urgent shortage of medicinal materials at the border. I hope that when you can share your worries, you will all be ashamed. Now that someone has come forward to donate, you have jumped out to say that others are corrupt and accept bribes. What? Zhu Bajie beat him up?” He
said, looking at Shi Yushi coldly.
“The censor is responsible for supervising court officials, but you are not allowed to slander court officials at will. Once you open and close your mouth, you will define good officials who have served the court many times as corrupt and bribe-taking people.”
“Huh, Appointing a censor like you is a serious problem for the imperial court. If someone comes, take off the official robe of the censor and throw it out of the palace, and he will never be hired.” Hearing
this, the legs of the censor Shi went limp, and there was a ‘bang’ Kneeling down on the ground, looking at Jiang Shizi with a face full of despair, he was dragged out by two guards before he could say anything.
Jiang Shizi looked down at the floor under his feet, and the emperor’s undisguised anger made him feel a little unsteady.
Shi Yushi was introduced by him. He just wanted to test the emperor’s reaction. After all, the Jiang family gave the emperor a big embarrassment in collecting medicinal materials this time.
Neither he nor his father thought about going too far. As long as the emperor is willing to accommodate them, they are willing to help raise medicinal materials.
Seeing that the game between the Jiang family and the emperor was coming to a critical juncture, unexpectedly a Yan family appeared and donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials at once, catching his family by surprise.
I wanted to teach the Yan family a lesson, but I never thought that the emperor’s reaction would be so great.
Hey.
This time they didn’t help the emperor to raise medicinal materials. After all, they angered the emperor. It was their mistake.
Ningmen Mansion.
When the emperor’s reward and the craftsmen who came to build the archway arrived, everyone in the Yan family was shocked. Not only the Yan family, but also the officials of the Ningmen Mansion and some well-informed Zhongzhou officials were also greatly surprised.
When they found out that the Yan family had donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials to the imperial court, they all fell silent.
Without him, they would not be able to receive this reward.
Yan Zhigao accepted the imperial decree in a daze, and enthusiastically invited the eunuchs and craftsmen who delivered the decree to the front yard for tea. During the period, he took the time to ask Mrs. Li: “It is said that our family donated medicinal materials to the imperial court. What is the matter?” What’s the matter?”
Mrs. Li also looked confused, then thought of something, and slapped her head suddenly: “Oh, it’s Daohua, that girl told me about this last time when she came back, I thought she was joking, so I didn’t take it to heart.”
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao was not angry, nor was he angry: “Why didn’t you tell me about such a big matter?”
Mrs. Li’s tone was indifferent: “I said it, I thought that Are you kidding me, girl?” Then, he asked tentatively, “How much medicinal material did Daohua donate?” The
Royal Archway is not only the glory of their family, but also the glory of the entire Yan clan.
Yan Zhigao’s expression froze for a moment, and then he quietly compared the word ‘two’.
He didn’t know that his daughter was so capable!
Mrs. Li saw it, and she was surprised: “Donate 20,000 shi of medicinal materials and you can get the imperial archway?”
Yan Zhigao was speechless: “What 20,000 shi, it’s 200,000 shi.” Saying this, he shook his head and turned around Went to entertain the messengers.
Mrs. Li was stunned for a long time before recovering from her daughter’s donation of 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, and then went to the old lady’s yard in a blissful manner.
At this moment, the entire Yan family gathered in the old lady’s room, and everyone looked happy.
The emperor bestowed the Loyalty Archway, and the Yan family has changed their lintels since then.
When Mrs. Li saw the old lady, she couldn’t help but said: “Mother, did you know that the girl Daohua donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials to the imperial court?” Mrs.
Wu was startled: ” Where did Daohua come from? How many herbs?”
The old lady Yan reacted very calmly, and explained to everyone: “Didn’t that girl buy two hills before, and there happened to be a big valley between the hills, and she planted a lot of medicinal materials there, and I helped sprinkle them Seeds.”
“The old man said that there is a Valley of Medicine Kings in the south, and that girl named the valley Baicao Valley.” As she spoke, she smiled, “Listen, does it sound like you’re fighting in a ring?”
Looking at it with a smile Hehe old lady, Mrs. Li didn’t know what to say, and she said after a while: “Mother, our family got the imperial memorial archway, I’m afraid we have to go back to my hometown.”
Old lady Yan was silent for a while: “Boss has official business Hurry up, let Wenxiu go back, by the way, the third child will go back too, the archway that Daohua earned for our family can’t be sloppy.”
Mrs. Li quickly showed pride, and said with a smile : “This girl did such a big thing quietly. I’ll send someone to tell her right away, so that girl can be proud too.”
Old lady Yan nodded with a smile.
Next, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin looked at each other silently, sighing in their hearts.
In this life, they are afraid that they will not be able to compare with the big sister.
Since the aunt lifted the ban, she has not been favored as before. For this reason, she often whispered in their ears, telling them to catch up with their big brothers and sisters.
Now that the eldest sister has even obtained the imperial archway for her family, how can they surpass it?
In the provincial government, after the Su family heard the news, the third master Su couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear, bluntly saying that the Yan family’s relationship is not wrong.
Third Mrs. Su went to Su Shiyu’s courtyard, saw her daughter sitting in a daze by the window, walked past and asked with a smile, “Are you thinking of Wenkai again?”
Su Shiyu blushed, and said coquettishly, “Mother, what are you talking about ?” Mrs.
Su made fun of her daughter, and then sighed: “I was still a little worried when I appointed you to Wenkai before, but now the Yan family is getting better every day, just waiting for Wenkai to make contributions in northern Xinjiang.” I, you don’t have to worry about it.”
Because it’s not easy to keep the messengers and craftsmen waiting for a long time, Yan Wenxiu led the crowd back to his hometown the next day.
Han Xinran saw her off with a big belly, and Nanny Han worried that she was tired, so she kept persuading her to go back.
“Mommy, I’m not tired. I don’t know how long the husband will stay here. I want to see more.”
Looking at Han Xinran’s ruddy and stretched face, Han Nanny didn’t say anything more, and noticed the people around him. With envious eyes, she said with a smile: “The girl is really blessed. This Yan family, the girl is married to the right one.” Han Xinran
rubbed her stomach, nodded with a smile, “Isn’t it?”
There are not many families in the family.
The most important thing is that the word ‘loyalty’ was inscribed by the emperor himself. With this reputation, people will look at the Yan family with high regard wherever they go in the future.
Thinking of the days when she married into Yan’s family, the mother-in-law was sensible, the sister-in-law was easy to get along with, and there were almost no worries, the smile on Han Xinran’s face became deeper and deeper.
Peach Blossom Village.
Daohua was also very happy when she knew that the emperor rewarded the imperial archway, and said to Gu Jian: “This time the emperor has finally kept his promise.”
Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice, and just wanted to ask the emperor when he would not Keeping promises, I couldn’t help but think of finding gold mines.
This girl is still thinking about being the head of the county.
