Chapter 439, Assassination
Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu stayed behind to declare the eunuch, while the others surrounded the old lady and Mrs. Li back to Songheyuan.
After entering the house, Mrs. Yan's tension eased. Although this is the second time that their family has received the imperial decree, she, an old country lady, still can't stop being nervous.
"Elder wife, hurry up, give me my life and take a look. I didn't take a closer look just now."
Mrs. Li quickly took the order from Pingtong and handed it to the old lady in person.
The old lady Yan carefully touched the commander, her face and eyes were full of smiles: "I didn't expect the old lady to be banned on this day, okay, really good!"
Ms. Li was also full of joy, and then said: "Daughter-in-law did not expect it."
In recent years, due to her background as a merchant, she has been lacking confidence in her heart. Even though her husband is now the head of a family, every time she participates in various banquets, she will suffer more or less idleness and blank eyes.
Now it’s all right, the emperor personally named her a positive fourth-grade madam, she can finally lift her head up, no longer caring about her identity.
Looking at grandmother and mother so happy, the loss in Daohua's heart was completely gone, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, mother, this clothes is so beautiful, you guys put on your clothes and show us."
Sun accepted the words with a smile: "Yes, we, I haven't seen Mrs. Mingming yet, mother and sister-in-law quickly put on them and let us have a long experience." Although he was smiling on his face, his tone could not cover up. The sourness of the stay.
The old lady Yan looked moved and looked at Mrs. Li: "Or, let's put it on for a look?"
Mrs. Li smiled and said, "I listen to my mother."
The old lady Yan immediately smiled and said: "Then wear it, go, let's go to the back room."
After a while, the two of them got dressed and came out.
As soon as everyone saw it, they immediately surrounded them, saying kind words and happy words without money.
Ina Flower stood aside and watched with a smile. Suddenly, she felt that this was good too. Although the credit did not fall on her, her grandmother and mother became the wife of the imperial court. In the future, she would no longer be looked down upon in contact with other officials.
Old Mrs. Yan wandered around the room in a military suit. After being congratulated by her children and grandchildren, she looked at the door from time to time: "Why haven't Zhi Gao and Wenxiu come back? After they have seen it, she can take it off and store it. "
Ms. Li smiled and said: "Just now the maid came to report that an official came to congratulate her. I guess it will take a while to come back."
The old lady Yan looked at the life suit on her, and she hesitated: "What should I do, take it off first, and show it to them when the two of them come back?"
Ina Flower smiled and took the old lady's arm: "Grandma, you don't think it is too much trouble, you have been wearing it all the time."
The old lady Yan cherished her clothes and touched her clothes: "What if it gets dirty and damaged?"
Daohua smiled and said: "Where is it so easy to get dirty and broken, yes, just now Lady Fang came in and said that the maids and wives at home wanted to visit the two imposing ladies, I wonder if you are not allowed?"
The old lady Yan listened and looked at Mrs. Li: "See you then?"
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: "Listen to mother."
The old lady Yan immediately smiled and looked at her grandmother. Grandmother had a gesture and smiled and went out. Soon, the maids and women in the house came over, and the whole yard was full and knelt down.
Listening to everyone’s congratulations, the smile on the old lady’s face never stopped.
Ina Flower leaned in the ear of the old lady, and laughed in a low voice: "Grandma, you are so happy today, don't you reward me?"
When the old lady Yan heard it, she immediately said in a bold manner: "Everyone sends more this month. One month's monthly routine."
The maid and the old lady listened, and were overjoyed to thank each other.
Ms. Li looked at her and glanced at her daughter with a smile.
Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu didn't come back from the front yard until the maid and the old lady had retired.
The old lady Yan and Mrs. Li went to the back room to change after they had seen the order.
After came out, Mrs. Yan couldn’t help but asked: “Okay, why does the emperor want to seal me and the eldest wife?”
Yan Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Mother, do you still need to ask? It must be your elder brother's outstanding achievements."
Yan Zhigao smiled, did not refute, just glanced at the eldest daughter nestling next to the old lady.
Just announced that the **** revealed that this time, the emperor had awarded two rewards, one is their family and the other is the Jiang family.
Jiang Canzheng’s daughter was made the county head.
The intuition of many years in power tells him that his mother and wife were given orders not because of his outstanding political achievements, but probably because of the gold mine.
Thinking about the eldest daughter, Wen Tao and Wen Kai looking for gold mines not long ago, and the eldest daughter’s reaction when she learned that it was the Jiang family’s finding the gold mine, there was a vague guess in her heart.
The fate of mother and wife may be compensation from the emperor to their family.
Yan Zhigao once again glanced at the eldest daughter who was sitting next to her mother and laughing at Yan Yan, feeling quite emotional in her heart.
He failed to ask for the fate of his mother and wife, but the eldest daughter did.
Compared with the joy of the Yan family, the atmosphere of the provincial capital Jiang Canzheng family is not so warm.
Jiang Zhengyuan held the imperial edict and did not have much joy on his face: “I thought that because of the merits of finding gold mines, the emperor would give me the right to mine gold mines. I didn’t expect that a county chief would send us away.”
The Jiang family is a double queen, even if the Jiang family’s girl does not have the identity of the county head, looking at the entire Daxia, she is also a first-class noble.
Mrs. Jiang ignored the outside affairs, and her daughter became the county owner. She was very happy: "We used to have a big house, Wanyu was the county owner. Who is wrong."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhengyuan shook his head. The woman's hair is long and short-sighted. She only takes care of the short length of the one-acre three-centre in the backyard: "I don't know who the emperor will send to take charge of the gold mine?"
Mrs. Jiang: "Do you still have to ask? It must be the emperor's confidant."
On the eighth day of November, the Yan family received a letter from the Yang family.
"What did you say, your sister is coming back?"
The old lady Yan looked at Yan Zhigao excitedly.
Yan Zhigao smiled and nodded: “Yes, my brother-in-law said, this year your birthday, my sister will bring two children to congratulate you personally. Now it’s counted as a day, I’m afraid it’s already on the way.”
The old lady Yan red eyes suddenly, she can't remember how many years she hasn't seen her daughter.
Daohua quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Grandma, aunt is coming back, you should be happy, why are you crying?"
The old lady Yan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "I just missed your aunt." She said, smiling at Daohua, "You, I haven't seen your cousin or cousin yet. I can finally see it this time."
Daohua smiled and said, "I've long wanted to see my aunt and cousin."
The smile on Yan Zhigao’s face was a little faint. He knew that the reason why the Yang family asked her sister to come over to celebrate her birthday was to watch the Yan family get better and better and profitable, and he was very unhappy with the Yang family’s drill camp.
However, seeing my mother so happy, I didn't show the thoughts in my heart.
Everyone was talking and laughing, but Mr. Sun suddenly hurried over.
Yan Zhigao saw him, and immediately walked out, standing under the eaves of the corridor, frowning, listening to the report from Butler Sun.
Taohua wanted to go back to the yard to get something, and when she stepped out of the room, she just heard something.
"Mrs. Jiang was assassinated when she went out to enjoy incense."
Yan Zhigao saw the eldest daughter look over, and waved to her.
The housekeeper Sun took a look at the girl who came by, and then said: "I heard that Madam Jiang was stabbed in the arm and shed a lot of blood. Miss Jiang was too frightened and the old disease relapsed. Ten of Jiang's servants died."
Listening to this, Daohua's face turned pale, and her heart couldn't stop beating wildly.
After Steward Sun finished speaking, Yan Zhigao waved him away, and then said to Daohua: "You are not allowed to talk about your search for gold mines later."
Ina Flower nodded repeatedly.
