There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 691

[Chapter 691, persuasion]

after persuading the imperial decree to be read, the emperor saw that all the officials had nothing to do, so he directly announced that he would go to court. When the emperor left with Eunuch An, the court erupted instantly.

“It’s the Yan family again! Last time we only donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, and this time we donated a million shi of grain. How much land does the Yan family have?”

“The Yan family is not really corrupt, is it?”

” Don’t say that, have you forgotten Shi Yushi’s lessons learned?”

“Yes, the emperor must have thought of what we can all think of, since the emperor didn’t say anything, but instead rewarded the Yan family, that means The food from the Yan family comes from a good source.”

All the officials nodded, but didn’t say much.

Cheng Engong and several officials walked behind, and when there were no people around, one of the officials said: “This time, because of the case of An Guogong, many officials have been arrested, and many positions have been vacated. The position of assistant minister can be taken by one of our people, I never imagined that the emperor would come here.”

An official took the words and said with a sneer, “Who will let someone give out 1 million shi of grain?”

Cheng Engong was silent He walked without saying a word, and seeing him like this, everyone didn’t dare to speak anymore.

When approaching the gate of the palace, Cheng Engong turned his head and glanced in the direction of Qianqing Palace, his eyes were solemn.

This time, whether it was the Yan family’s donation of food or the situation of the war in northern Xinjiang, the Jiang family had not received any news in advance. When they knew, everything was a foregone conclusion.

The emperor’s methods are becoming more and more powerful, and at the same time, his control over the court is getting deeper and deeper. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Jiang family not to hear any news!

Without the restraint of the Eight Kings, the Jiang family should be silent.

For the Yan family to enter the capital, the Han family and the Yang family, who are related to the Yan family by marriage, are naturally full of joy, but the Jiang family of Cheng’en Duke’s mansion and the Guo family of Dingguo manor’s mansion can’t help laughing.

Originally, relying on Yan Zhigao’s political achievements, he could be transferred to the capital after the term of magistrate of Ningmen Prefecture expired. However, the Jiang family and the Guo family used tricks to make Yan Zhigao lose the opportunity to enter the capital.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, the Yan family was summoned to the capital by the emperor himself by donating medicinal materials and food, and they were still the servants of the household department of the third rank, which was a position of real power.

Ningmen Mansion.

The eunuch who announced the decree was the Yan family who arrived on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In addition to reassigning Yan Zhigao as the servant of the household department, and conferring Yan Yiyi, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, as the head of Shengping County, the eunuch also brought along the edict of conferring on the old lady Yan and Mrs. Li as the third-rank wife.

Except for Yan Zhigao, Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Yan who knew that Daohua had donated 1 million shi of grain, everyone in the Yan family was dazed by the sudden happy event.

After Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu led the eunuchs to drink tea in the front yard, the women’s side started chattering and bustling.

Mrs. Wu still had disbelief on her face: “Sister-in-law, Daohua has become the head of the county?”

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile. When she knew that her daughter was going to donate 1 million shi of grain, she felt heartbroken in private , Now that her daughter has become the head of the county, she doesn’t feel sad at all.

Regarding the marriage between her daughter and Xiao Yeyang, she was full of worries in her heart, worried that her daughter’s status was too low, she would be looked down upon by others, and she would be bullied after marrying into Prince Ping’s mansion.

Now it’s all right, my daughter has become the head of the county, and even got a title, even if there is still some gap with Ye Yang, others can’t just use her identity to talk about things.

Han Xinran also asked happily: “Mother, are we going to Beijing?” Although Zhongzhou is good, it is still too unfamiliar to her. It is not as good as the capital where she grew up, not to mention her relatives and friends friend.

Mrs. Li smiled and said ‘hmm’: “After the handover between the master and the new prefect, we can set off for Beijing.”

Peach Blossom Temple.

After Daohua received the news, she immediately ordered Dongli and Caiju to pack their things happily: “Remember, nothing else matters, but the medicinal materials and pharmaceutical equipment in the pharmacy must not be damaged.”

Gu Jian stared: “What are you doing, you took away the things in the pharmacy, what do you use for the teacher?” Daohua

smiled as a matter of course: “Master, of course you left with me.”

Gu Jian frowned: “I don’t want it.” Going to Beijing!”

Daohua was silent for a while, although she didn’t ask what happened to her mother-in-law and master in the palace back then, but she could make a general guess, knowing that the old man had some resistance to the capital.

“Master, I didn’t let you enter the capital city. Didn’t the emperor reward me with a villa before? It’s on the side of Tangyu Mountain. Tangyu Mountain, you know? It’s in the suburbs of Beijing. It has a pleasant environment and hot springs. It’s the most suitable place for the elderly to live in.” ”

I planted a lot of medicinal herbs in the villa. In the past two years, my two uncles brought me overseas seeds from the south, and Sun Changze brought me back from the north. Help me take care of it.”

Gu Jian said silently: “Then I can’t leave either, my sister is here alone.”

Daohua: “Master, we will come back to see my mother-in-law every year in the future, Then ask the people in the village to clean the grave of the mother-in-law on a regular basis, do you think it’s okay?”

Seeing that Gu Jian didn’t speak, Daohua could only use his trump card: “Anyway, I won’t leave you here alone, don’t you Let’s go, then I’ll stay here too.”

Seeing his disciple’s rascal appearance, Gu Jian was a little speechless: “The war in northern Xinjiang has stopped, if you don’t go to the capital, do you still want to see Yeyang?”

Daohua blurted out: “ How can Xiao Yeyang compare with Master, of course I have to take care of Master first.”

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Jian’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

Seeing that his attitude showed signs of softening, Daohua quickly sat beside him: “Master, why don’t you come with me? There are so many nobles in the capital, and my family background is not outstanding. If you are not here, what if others bully me?” ? No one stood up for me.”

Gu Jian squinted at his apprentice: “You are now the county lord, take it easy and no one will bully you.”

Daohua: “But there are many people who are better than the county lord, what kind of princess, princess, prince Concubine or something, how can I compare with these people?”

Gu Jian pondered for a moment: “Then I will write a letter and ask Xiao Wu to protect you?”

Daohua shook her head quickly: “Master, forget it Come on, think about it, I am going to confront the princess, who will the emperor protect? It must be his own daughter, and I am not the one who was wronged in the end.”

Gu Jian looked at his apprentice inexplicably: “You still Didn’t go to Beijing, and you want to offend the princess?”

Dao Hua helped Bu Yao on the bun: “No way, your apprentice is too good, you will make people jealous wherever you go.”

Hearing this, Gu Jian didn’t He rolled his eyes angrily.

Daohua shook his arm: “Master, you can’t ignore me.”

Gu Jian was tortured by her, he stood up and ignored her, and walked out of the yard.

Daohua hurriedly shouted at Gu Jian’s back: “Master, then I’ll let Caiju Dongli pack up.”

Although Gu Jian didn’t respond, Daohua still looked at Caiju and Dongli with a smile: “Pack up your things.” Let’s go.”

Caiju and Dongli smiled at each other, and quickly entered the pharmacy.
