There is Room For the Poor Daughter

After the imperial decree was read out, the emperor saw that the officials had nothing to do, and immediately announced that he was going to the court. When the emperor left with Eunuch An, the courtroom immediately boiled.

"It's the Yan family again! Last time I donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, and this time I donated another million shi of food. How many fields does the Yan family have?"

"Isn't the Yan family really corrupt?"

"Don't say that, you forgot the lessons of Yushi Shi?"

"Yes, everything we can think of, the emperor must have also thought of it. Since the emperor didn't say anything, but instead awarded the Yan family, it means that the Yan family's food is coming in the right way."

The officials nodded and said nothing.

Duke Chengen and several officials walked behind, and when there was no one around, one of the officials said: "This time, many officials have been arrested due to the case of Duke An Guo, and many positions have been vacated. The position of the servant can be taken over by our people, but I didn't expect that the emperor came to such a place."

Some officials took the words and sneered: "Who can let people come up with 1 million stone grains?"

Eunuch Cheng walked silently without saying a word. When everyone saw him like this, they didn't dare to speak.

When he was about to reach the gate of the palace, Duke Eng turned back 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 war situation in the northern Xinjiang, the Jiang family had not received any news in advance. When they knew, everything would be a foregone conclusion.

The emperor's methods are getting more and more powerful, and at the same time, the control of the court is getting deeper and deeper, otherwise, it is impossible for the Jiang family to not hear any news!

Without the constraints of the Eight Kings, the Jiang family should be quiet.

The Han family and the Yang family, who are related by marriage to the Yan family, are naturally full of joy when the Yan family enters the capital. However, the Jiang family of the Duke Cheng'en's mansion and the Guo family of the Duke Dingguo's mansion can't seem to laugh.

Originally, due to Yan Zhigao's political achievements, he could be transferred to the capital after his term as prefect of Ningmen House expired. However, the Jiang family and the Guo family used means to make Yan Zhigao lose the opportunity to enter the capital.

Unexpectedly, in just one year, the Yan family was summoned to Beijing by the emperor himself by donating medicinal materials and food, and he was still the third-grade household servant, which was a real power position.

Ningmen House.

The eunuch who announced the decree was the Yan family who arrived on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

In addition to reassigning Yan Zhigao as the Minister of the Household, and appointing Yan Yiyi, the eldest daughter of the Yan family, as the head of Shengping County, the eunuch who passed the order also brought Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li together with the will of appointing Mrs.

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

After Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu led the eunuchs to drink tea in the front yard, the female family members chattered lively.

There was disbelief on Mrs Wu's face: "Sister-in-law, Daohua has become the county head?"

Mrs. Li nodded with a smile. When she knew that her daughter was going to donate 1 million shi of grain, she felt a bit of heartache in private. Now that her daughter has become the county head, she has no heartache at all.

She was full of worries about her daughter's marriage with Xiao Yeyang, worried that her daughter's status was too low, she would be looked down upon, and she would be bullied after marrying into Prince Ping's mansion.

Now that it's alright, her daughter has become the county head and has a title. Even if there is still some gap with Ye Yang, others can't arbitrarily 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. friend.

Mrs. Li smiled and said "um": "After the master and the new prefect are handed over, we will be able to set off for Beijing."

Taohua Temple.

After Daohua received the news, she immediately ordered Dongli and Caiju to pack up: "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 the things from the pharmacy, what are you using for your teacher?"

Daohua smiled as a matter of course: "Master, of course you left with me."

Gu Jian frowned: "I don't want to go 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, she could guess something, knowing that the old man had some resistance to the capital.

"Master, I didn't let you into the capital. Didn't the emperor reward me with a villa before, right there on Tangyu Mountain, Tangyu Mountain, you know? In the suburbs of Beijing, the environment is pleasant, and there are hot springs, which are the most suitable for the elderly to live in. ."

"I have 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 from the north. I have planted some there. You can help me after you go there. Look after it."

Gu Jian was silent: "Then I can't leave either. If I leave, my sister will be here alone."

Daohua: "Master, in the future, we will come back every year to see my mother-in-law, and then ask the people in the village to regularly clean my mother-in-law's grave, do you think it's okay?"

Seeing that Gu Jian didn't speak, Daohua could only use her trump card: "I won't leave you here alone anyway. If you don't leave, then I'll stay here too."

Seeing his apprentice's rogue 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 Ye Yang?"

Daohua blurted out: "How can Xiao Yeyang be compared 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 was softening, Daohua hurriedly sat beside him: "Master, just go with me, there are so many honors in the capital, and my family background is not outstanding. If you are not here, what if others bully me? No one came forward for me."

Gu Jian gave his apprentice a sideways glance: "You are now the county owner, take it easy and no one will bully you."

Daohua: "But there are many people who are more powerful than the county lord. What county lord, princess, prince and concubine, how can I compare with these people?"

Gu Jian pondered for a while: "Then I wrote a letter and asked Xiao Wu to let him protect you?"

Daohua hurriedly shook her head: "Master, let's forget it. Think about it, I'm going to meet the princess, who will the emperor protect? It must be his own daughter, and it's not me who is wronged in the end."

Gu Jian looked at his apprentice with indescribable words: "You haven't even entered Beijing yet, so you are thinking of offending the princess?"

Daohua helped Bu Yao on her bun: "No way, your apprentice is so good, you will be jealous wherever you go."

Hearing this, Gu Jian rolled his eyes angrily.

Daohua shook his arm: "Master, you can't ignore me."

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

Daohua hurriedly called out to Gu Jian's back, "Master, then I'll let Caiju Dongli pack up."

Although Gu Jian didn't respond, Daohua still smiled at Caiju and Dongli: "Pack up."

Caiju and Dongli smiled at each other and entered the pharmacy swiftly.
