Chapter 150： Surprise or shock

It wasn't until the group of people disappeared from sight that Jiang Ning turned to look at Yang Xiaohua and said lovingly: "Do you know what your father said?"

Yang Xiaohua nodded, "My father said that he has someone he knows, and he can ask the young lady to keep me by his side. From now on, I will follow the young lady to learn more, watch more, listen more and speak less. I will be as powerful as my mother-in-law."

"Your mother-in-law?" Jiang Ning was a little shocked, and then she remembered that she didn't seem to know about Yang Xiaohua's mother-in-law.

Yang Xiaohua raised her head and said crisply: "My mother-in-law used to work in a wealthy family. She was released to marry my father when she was old. My father said that my mother-in-law is amazing and can do everything!"

It turns out that there is a precedent, so Jiang Ning has nothing to worry about.

"Then you have to do a good job and protect yourself. When Xiaoya comes back, take her to see you if you have the chance."

Jiang Ning's words dispelled Yang Xiaohua's sadness, and she returned to her usual cheerful self. Since she had no playmates, she simply followed Jiang Ning into the mountains. Jiang Ning picked mushrooms while she dug bamboo shoots. On the way, she also met sisters Yang Daya. The two of us can still say a few words, but we are not alone.

Because there were two foreign men living at home, a widow in Jiangning couldn't live alone at home, so she simply found an excuse to move to her old house. She only went back to the east of the village to make rice paper during the day. Anyway, Old Man Yang and Old Man Yang were out working. , Yang Laigui was also taken to the county to study by Yang Laosan. The family was full of female relatives, so there was nothing to avoid.

Li and Zhou only thought Jiang Ning was alone and came to keep them company, so they didn't think much about it.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. During these two months, the spring plowing was over. This time she was still the same as last year. Except for planting rice in the paddy fields, only two acres of dry land were left to plant taro. The rest were all planted with peppers, peppers, and wild mountains. As for medicine, the focus this year is yam. If this thing can produce a high yield, it will be another food that can fill the stomach.

The most important thing is that she no longer has to work hard to find wild yams in the mountains.

In order to increase the yield of crops, she used a large amount of shell ash to fertilize the field in advance and let the four Fang brothers plow deeply. The soil is soft and should be more conducive to the growth of tuber plants.

Jiang Ning was looking forward to the crops in the fields and wished he could see them three times a day.

Zhang was going to work in the workshop. When he saw her squatting in the field again, he couldn't help but come forward and said, "What's wrong? Are you thinking about it? Are you ready to go to the field?"

Jiang Ning looked back at her and sighed, "I'm helpless. I just looked at it, but it doesn't feel like it's changed at all?"

Zhang was speechless, "Have you grown gold? Is it worthy of your attention?"

“It would be great if we could grow gold.”

“Bang bang bang”

Before Jiang Ning finished speaking, he heard the rapid sound of gongs coming from the entrance of the village.

She stood up suddenly and looked at Zhang, "Let's go! Go see what's going on!"

"Someone is coming to the village to cause trouble again! Don't do it! There are no men in the village who can fight! They are all women and old people. What will happen if something goes wrong!" Mrs. Zhang was worried as she quickly followed Jiang Ning's pace.

They saw a group of officers and soldiers approaching on the way. They were holding spears and looking solemn, which frightened the villagers who came over.

Two old men who were beating gongs stood close together, trembling with fear.

Jiang Ning was the first to react and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've met the official!"

The team stopped, and the people in the carriage stuck their heads out and smiled at Jiang Ning, "Ms. Jiang, you're fine!"

"Master Xu!" Jiang Ning was startled for a moment, then beamed with joy, "It's great that you're okay!" Xu Chun got off the carriage, stroking his beard and laughed: "Thanks to everyone, I escaped from death, everything is possible." Well! I'm here to pick up Mr. Huang, is he still here?"

Xu Chun asked with some worry.

Jiang Ning nodded slightly and whispered: "Here they are! I let them live at home, and I moved to live with my mother-in-law. During this time, Afeng is taking care of Mr. Huang."

"I've wronged you!" Xu Chun admired Jiang Ning more and more and walked towards Jiang Ning's house.

The villagers listened in confusion.

Li Shi winked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning walked over generously and said: "Auntie, Mr. Xu is a senior official in the capital. They are here to pick up the imperial envoy who is recuperating at my home. Aren't you wondering why I am living in my old house during this time? That's it. Because there is an imperial envoy living at home, I have to run both ways every day to avoid taboos."

Li was stunned, "The imperial envoy has been living in your house? Is he the only one?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "That's not true. There is also a confidant of the Imperial Envoy. He has been taking care of the Imperial Envoy these days. I just go back to work during the day to cover up others' eyes."

The Lis all breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if there were still people around, and they weren't afraid of any gossip.

Liu said: "The Imperial Envoy must have had no choice but to stay in our village. Jiang cannot leak secrets and must avoid taboos. This is already very good. Please don't make wild guesses."

Everyone else in the village nodded silently.

Jiang Ning added: "Master Xu is here. I say it's okay. The imperial envoy was seriously injured and fled to my house. He has been recuperating these days because he doesn't know who is behind it and is afraid of causing trouble to our village. So I have to help cover the imperial envoy."

The villagers were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and several old ladies patted their chests in fear, "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, you didn't reveal the secret. Otherwise, if the news spread, not only the imperial envoy would be in danger, but all of us would be in danger as well."

"Yes, yes! That's the imperial envoy, and he was seriously injured! It seems that high officials are not so easy to be!"

“Jiang’s wit is the same, but if it were me, the whole village would be howling in fear, and even the mice would know someone is coming to my house!”

Everyone was amused and laughed.

Jiang Ning said to Li: "Auntie, take everyone back to the workshop to work. I'll go home and take a look. Mr. Xu must be here to pick up the imperial envoy."

Ms. Li nodded repeatedly, "Go and do your work! If you need us if you need anything, we'll be on call."

Jiang Ning hurried back home and happened to see the yard full of soldiers. Xu Chunzheng and Huang Zhengyang were sitting on the stone bench in the yard talking.

"The emperor already knows about the affairs of Quzhou Prefecture. The Wei River bursts its embankment, the fraud in the imperial examination, and the assassination of imperial envoys. No matter what it is, the emperor is furious. However, the emperor has not listened to one-sided words, so he also came to Quzhou for this private visit incognito. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ning paused.

Xu Chun looked at her, waved to her, and said thoughtfully: "Since Madam Jiang has heard it, it is okay for the Emperor to pay a private visit and stay at your house temporarily."

"I, I, I, I. The emperor lives in my house?" Jiang Ning could no longer treat this matter calmly. She had just entertained an imperial envoy, and now she was entertaining the emperor. When did her humble house become so popular? One and two must live in!
