Chapter 160： Mrs. Muyi

"How did you say this?" Li said with a pale face, very anxious.

Liu Cuihua paused and said with a sneer: "Actually, I don't understand it very well. I just heard my boy say something. It seems that the imperial court is most disgusted with imperial examination fraud. If such a big thing happened in our Quzhou Prefecture, there are probably others in the capital. When a high-ranking official wants to fall from power, he has to pull out the radish and bring out the mud. It’s not over yet! It was not easy for those of us who were admitted to the scholar examination before and I don’t know why it’s not easy.”

Liu Cuihua came here to show off with little knowledge, making everyone nervous and scratching their hearts and lungs.

Jiang Ning pondered: "Because the imperial court's main method of selecting talents is the imperial examination. There are so many state capitals in Qi. Who can the emperor remember? Whenever I mention Quzhou Prefecture in the future, the first thought will definitely be imperial examination fraud."

"Ah! If that's the case, why would my grandson study?" Mrs. Li was heartbroken.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but want to laugh, "Auntie, you worry too much! Your grandson is still a white boy. Even if they want to take the examination as a boy student, it will take another two or three years. That was after the imperial examination fraud case. It won't be good for them. What influence does it have? It is the influence of those who gained fame during the imperial examination fraud case."

Li Shi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if it doesn't affect you. It's fine if it doesn't affect you. It's a pity for those people!"

Jiang Ning sighed: "There's nothing we can do about it, so a bunch of moths in the prefecture are really harmful to people! They were simply exposed. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue working. We don't have to worry about such big things! "

"That's it! Work, work, work." Before Liu could finish his words, the sound of gongs was heard from the entrance of the village.

Everyone rushed out immediately, with the village chief and other men taking the lead.

Liu Cuihua is also here.

Meeting Gao Yong and others on the way, everyone looked at Jiang Ning.

Gao Yong stepped forward and pointed to the carriage behind him, "Ms. Jiang, the imperial envoy has come to read out the imperial edict. Hurry back and place the incense table to receive the edict. Everyone in your family should call over."

"Ah? None of my children are in the village. I am the only one in the family. Oh, by the way, there are also my mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Does that count?" Jiang Ning was a little confused.

“Forget it, call them all together!” Gao Yong grinned widely.

Jiang Ning quickly turned around and ran home, picking up both the Li family and the Zhou family.

Others followed the official team, whispering from time to time.

As soon as Jiang Ning took out the table and put the incense case, the official team arrived.

Huang Zhengyang entered the courtyard familiarly and said: "By God, the emperor has issued an edict. Yang Jiang of Rongshu Village, Dashan Town, Ping'an County, Quzhou Prefecture, is a good-looking, intelligent, virtuous and courteous person who understands righteousness and has made great contributions to the country. He will be granted the title of Mrs. Yi and be rewarded with silver. Thousand taels, hundreds of acres of fertile land, hundreds of pieces of brocade, and eight heads and faces. I admire this!

Mrs. Muyi, take the order! "

Jiang Ning covered his heart that was about to beat out of his chest and mechanically accepted the order to thank him.

Huang Zhengyang couldn't help but laugh when he saw her being so stupid, "Mrs. Muyi, congratulations!"

With Zhou's support, Mrs. Li stood up tremblingly, swallowed hard, and asked cautiously: "My lord, who is Mrs. Muyi?"

Li asked all the villagers' questions, why can't Jiang Ning be given an official title? Huang Zhengyang muttered solemnly: "Mrs. Muyi is the emperor's commendation and recognition of the Yang Jiang family. Such an honor is not something ordinary people can have. Even the first-grade imperial concubines may not be able to get such a canonization. With this title "Mrs. Muyi doesn't have to kneel when she meets an official. Even when she comes to the prince and princess, she only needs to give a half salute."

"So awesome!" Li was stunned and quickly looked at Jiang Ning, "Then should I kneel down?"

Jiang Ning was made to laugh and cry, and quickly helped Li Shi, "Mom, stop making trouble! We are still the same as before."

"How can this be the same!" the village chief said what everyone was thinking. Fortunately, Jiang Ning is still the same Jiang Ning as before, so they don't have to be so nervous.

Jiang Ning quickly led the officials into the house and boiled water for them.

Huang Zhengyang sat in the yard and looked at the papers. He once said a rare joke, "Mrs. Muyi, do you still remember the rice papers you ordered?"

"Remember, I have prepared everything, including Mr. Xu's. In addition, I also prepared some for Afeng. He likes to study so much. He can go to school and take the imperial examination openly in the future!" Jiang Ning sighed with emotion on his face. .

Huang Zhengyang's eyes were dark, he took a sip of tea, and said: "I plan to bring Afeng's mother's bones back to the capital for burial. They will be sent out in the next two days. Thanks to Mrs. Muyi a few days ago, I didn't have time to thank you properly at that time. There will be more in the future. Opportunity will definitely repay you. Changshen Changshen is a smart and clever child who is good at studying. I will wait for them in the capital!"

Jiang Ning quickly stood up and solemnly thanked him.

Huang Zhengyang waved his hand and said: "The emperor will reward you with a hundred acres of fertile land. Unfortunately, there is not that much land in Rongshu Village. On the other hand, many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen have been raided in Fucheng this time. The government has taken over many Zhuangzi. If there are suitable ones, I will return them." Here, you can choose a village, and the land deed will be completed for you in two days. "

Jiang Ning was overjoyed and was not polite to Huang Zhengyang. He immediately nodded in agreement.

After the officials left, the entire villagers in Rongshu Village were excited! In the past, some people would be jealous of Jiang Ning's prosperous life, but now everyone can only look up to her, and there is no jealousy, only deep envy.

Li Shi said with a smile: "Such a big thing has to be discussed with the old man, and Datou and the others have to be informed, and they have to go to worship the ancestors and thank the ancestors for their blessings! Oh, our old Yang family It’s really smoke coming out of the ancestral graves, and such a capable person has appeared!”

"That's right, people say that a wife is honored by her husband, and a mother is honored by her children, but Aning is different. She does not rely on her husband or her children. She has earned herself a title based on her own abilities. Wow, others are really envious of her. Don’t come!” Ms. Liu praised her repeatedly, wishing Jiang Ning was her daughter-in-law!

Many people think so, completely forgetting how much they disliked Jiang Ning before.

The next day, after receiving the news, Old Man Yang and Old Man Yang hurriedly returned to the village. They didn't even bother to return home and went straight to the workshop.

The village chief joked: "Yang Jiang, your family has a golden phoenix!"

When Old Man Yang heard this, he subconsciously looked at Mr. Li, "Really? Is it true that our family has been granted a title by the emperor?"

"How can it be false? The imperial edict is still being enshrined in the main hall of the old man's house! I dare not touch it!" Mrs. Li was happy and scared at the same time.

It took Old Yang a long time to calm down, and he grinned and asked, "Where are you guys? Why didn't you see anyone?"

“I went into the mountains again and said I wanted to stock up on some more things to send to Datou.” Mrs. Li muttered in a low voice.

Old man Yang was speechless, "What else can I give as a gift! For such a big thing, all the children have to come back. I remember that Yang Han seems to know where Big Tou and the others are, so I asked him for help!"
