Chapter 315 Reward

Mrs. Zhao leaned into Jiang Ning's ear and whispered, "I'm telling you secretly. Don't tell anyone. The dean of the Capital Academy has approached my son several times. He rejected it because the emperor had never appointed him an official. Now the emperor has Now that he has been awarded the title, he will no longer be able to use this excuse.

I know that he doesn’t like to associate with those powerful children. If he were given the choice, he would definitely prefer to come to your home to educate his children. He could also take advantage of the situation and promote the Capital Academy, which would achieve multiple things with one stone. "

Jiang Ning intuitively felt that the matter was not that simple, but she had indeed been coveting Huang Jian's talent for a long time, so she didn't ask any more questions and accepted the request.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and raised the corners of their mouths.

Looking at the scenery in the courtyard, Jiang Ning asked casually: "Counting the days, it's almost time for Mr. Zuodu Yushi to return to Beijing!"

This time Huang Zhengyang led people to Yunze Mansion. It can be said that there were twists and turns and many dangers. The situation was no less than the investigation of the Weijiang bursting. However, the prefect of Yunze Mansion was not as bold as Jia Pengju. He did not dare to blatantly send people to assassinate the imperial envoy. However, he secretly made small moves. Many times, Huang Zhengyang almost fell into the trap.

Fortunately, he had the emperor's secret guards by his side, and he managed to escape again and again. With in-depth investigation, Huang Zhengyang almost brought down the entire Yunze Mansion officialdom, from the prefect to the county magistrates, and even the villagers of many villages. Not clean at all.

Especially the Dong family was found guilty of forced buying and selling, forcing girls into prostitution, disregarding human life, bribing officials and other crimes. More than 80% of the whole family was exiled.

There were so many people to deal with this time that Huang Zhengyang was forced to temporarily act as the prefect of Yunze Prefecture and take charge of one side. Fortunately, the court appointed a new prefect of Yunze Prefecture last month.

Thinking of the unlucky man in her family, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "I don't know if he was injured this time! The eldest daughter of the second wife will get married in three months. I hope he can come back in time."

"Oh? Which one did you book with?" Jiang Ning was a little curious.

Ms. Zhao said in a very good mood: "My surname is Qi, and he is said to be a sailor! It turns out that the other party is also from Quzhou Prefecture, and he lives in the same place as you."

“Such a fate!”

Ms. Zhao nodded repeatedly, "It's just fate! I didn't agree with it before, but the second brother and his wife wanted to do business in the south, so they had to cooperate with a shipping company. It happened that the other party's family had a young man of marriageable age who was studying at Quzhou Academy.

As you know, my brother-in-law is very resistant to becoming an official. He does not want to become an official himself, and he does not expect his son-in-law to become an official. As long as he can read and write and do business, then Mr. Qi can satisfy me in every way. The brother-in-law and his wife asked for it, no, they fell in love with it right away. "

“What did the child say?”

Zhao's smile deepened, "Do you know the Fan family? They are Fan Tongshu, the dean of the Beijing Academy. Fan Tongshu's youngest daughter is the biological mother of Mr. Qi. The Fan family has a good reputation in Beijing, and Girl Rou is satisfied with this marriage."

Your last name is Fan? Jiang Ning subconsciously thought of the Fan family, but there were so many people with the surname Fan in the world. How could it be such a coincidence, so he remained silent.

As he spoke, the light outside suddenly dimmed. In just a moment, the wind and clouds surged, and thunder exploded above the two of them.

Zhao was stunned for a moment, then put down the teacup, "It's going to rain!"

Jiang Ning walked to the door and saw a bolt of lightning flashing across the sky. He subconsciously took two steps back and said, "It's still raining heavily. Sister Zhao will probably have to stay here for a while."

"You can stay as long as you want, I'd love to have dinner with you!" Mrs. Zhao teased angrily, just in time to see a group of people hurriedly enter the courtyard.

“Marquis Guangen accepts the order!”

“The imperial envoy is here!” After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he and Mrs. Zhao ran to the courtyard and knelt down, and asked Song Fu to call Yang Xiaoya, Yang Lexu and A Yi to receive the order.

Ah Yi was still a little confused and confused until she knelt down.

The imperial envoy looked at him with a smile in his eyes, and he knew Jiang Ning's path well. "By God's blessing, the emperor has decreed that the Jiang family has been virtuous and loyal for generations, and is now bestowed with a plaque of 'House of Virtue', a mansion in Quzhou Prefecture, a thousand acres of paddy fields, a thousand acres of fertile land, eight shops, and a thousand taels of silver. I hereby express my gratitude to you." ! Take the order!”

The imperial envoy looked at Ah Yi with a smile. Ah Yi pointed at himself and then at Jiang Ning in confusion, "Me, me, me."

I didn’t reach out for a long time.

Jiang Ning was so angry that he slapped his butt, "Why don't you hurry up and accept the order!"

Ah Yi was beaten to the point of being eaten by a dog, but she didn't say anything to complain. She just reached out her hand obediently and accepted the imperial edict.

The imperial envoy covered his mouth and laughed, then read the second imperial edict.

The second imperial edict was sent to the Guang'enhou Mansion. The general meaning was to praise Jiang Ning Shi for being generally sensible, and also rewarded him with a large house with three entrances to the capital, two villages, two shops and a thousand taels of silver.

These rewards were truly a reward to her heart. Jiang Ning accepted the order and thanked the imperial envoy with a smile like a fool.

The imperial envoy secretly said to her: "If you want to thank me, you should thank King Xiaoyao! Yesterday you sent Nanzhu into the palace, and the emperor summoned King Xiaoyao. The two discussed it for a long time in the Xuanzheng Hall, and today's reward was announced."

Jiang Ning suddenly realized, no wonder the emperor is so considerate and has someone to speak for her emotionally.

Jiang Ning lowered his eyelids and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir. I will thank you, Your Majesty, and you can't be left behind."

She gave the imperial envoy twenty taels of silver and sent them out politely.

Mrs. Zhao excitedly stepped forward to congratulate, "Hey! I really didn't come here in vain today! I can talk to them properly when I get back!"

The two were laughing and joking when big raindrops fell from the sky and hit their faces.

Jiang Ning quickly urged others to go into the house to take shelter from the rain. Seeing Ah Yi holding the imperial edict blankly and standing still, he quickly stepped forward and dragged the person into the house, with a speechless face, "You still haven't thought of anything?"

Ah Yi shook his head honestly.

Jiang Ning was so anxious that he stamped his feet. Prince Rui had already convinced the royal family and was ready to officially recognize A Yi as his godson. If A Yi never recovered his memory, I'm sure he wouldn't object to Prince Rui finding him a wife. Things are going to be difficult.

Because of Ah Yi's condition, Jiang Ning's good mood was reduced by half.

Ms. Zhao advised: "The boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge. Do you want to send someone back to tell you about this good thing or go back yourself?"

Jiang Ning glanced at Ah Yi and became even more depressed, "The best choice is of course for me to go back to Quzhou Mansion in person. After all, my mother is still here and I have to go back to fulfill her filial piety. But you have also seen that this idiot still has amnesia. I Prince Rui was the first to object when he wanted to take him back.

If his illness is not cured first, going back will only make my old mother more sad. Forget about my poor sister-in-law, let’s not mention it for now. "

Seeing Jiang Ning's entangled look, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but sigh.

The rain continued until the evening, and it was almost dark with no intention of stopping. Mrs. Zhao simply sent someone back to say that she would stay overnight at Guangenhou Mansion.

At dawn, a carriage stopped at the gate of Guangenhou Mansion. The driver let out a long sigh, turned and shouted into the carriage: "You two girls, we are here!"
