It was people from the government office who came. There were several of them, all wearing official uniforms.
Sun Xiuxiang was held tightly by Zheng's people and couldn't break free. When he saw this man in public uniform, his eyes lit up and he spoke first: "I am the daughter of Mr. Sun from Qingzhou Zhizhong. Please help me catch that man quickly."
Xu Yinyin teaches you a lesson, and I will report it to my father and promote you!"
Zheng: I have seen stupid people, but I have never seen such stupid people.
She quickly signaled the maid to stop Sun Xiuxiang's mouth. This man was beyond saving. He was so careless in what he said and did. He was really causing trouble for the family. She was dragging him down for nothing.
The incident involving the Kong family during the Shangyuan Festival has not been over for long. If we get serious about it, the Sun family cannot withstand investigation.
The leading official looked at Sun Xiuxiang and answered the question, as if curious: "How did Miss Xu offend Miss Sun? How could Miss Sun be so generous that she wanted to move out of Master Zhizhong?"
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "Wang Qiancheng is laughing at me. This cousin of mine is drunk, her words are incomprehensible, and her actions cannot be true. I will take her back right away. My mother-in-law is still waiting at home."
Zheng said that Sun Xiuxiang was drunk before, so it was okay to ignore it, but now, in front of officials, she said so. Sun Xiuxiang's reputation for being drunk and causing trouble without any reason could not be shaken off.
Zheng didn't want to protect her reputation at all. At this time, if she didn't say so, how could she say it?
It is better to ruin Sun Xiuxiang's reputation than bring trouble to the Sun family and bring trouble to the Cui family.
Wang Qingcheng, who just took office last year, mentioned that he was also related to the Dong family. He naturally turned towards Xu Yinyin and immediately said: "So that's it. I really thought that Miss Xu had offended Miss Sun, and I was shocked. After all,
, in the government office, an angel from the capital is waiting to see Miss Xu."
After that, he walked towards Xu Yinyin and said politely: "Miss Xu, an angel has come to the capital and is waiting at the government office. Come with us quickly."
When Xu Yinyin heard this, she immediately thought of the mineral reward. Did the emperor really give the reward himself?
She was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Fu Li responded: "Yes."
When Zhang Xiulan saw someone from the government office coming to take her daughter away, she was a little worried, but when her daughter gave her a look that said she didn't have to worry, it was a good thing, she immediately stopped worrying and watched her daughter leave.
Dong Qinghua and the others didn't know, so they thought something had happened, so they asked the maid to follow them to find out more.
Others who were watching the excitement were curious and sent people to inquire.
Mrs. Zheng watched and muttered secretly in her heart, why did the angel from the capital want to see Xu Yinyin? It was as if he came just for her.
Although Xu Yinyin is of the right age, she is already engaged. The emperor will not accept her into the palace, right?
But it's impossible. After all, this Xu Yinyin, with her figure, appearance, and conduct, it's hard to say that the emperor has seen her before when he was in Yiyang Mansion, and he really fell in love with her.
If Xu Yinyin enters the palace and becomes a concubine, what will happen? Sun Xiuxiang is a troublemaker!
Thinking like this, she couldn't calm down in her heart. While she hurriedly turned Sun Xiuxiang away, she also sent someone to find out what happened.
For a time, people from all sides gathered at the government office at the same time.
This is not a secret that cannot be inquired about. Magistrate Ye also intended it, so they approached and inquired smoothly.
As soon as Mrs. Zheng returned home and told her mother-in-law, Mrs. Cui, about the matter, the person who inquired came back.
Zheng couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Why did the angel in Beijing come?"
Mrs. Cui was also very curious. Her husband's niece was really capable of causing trouble. If it was as her daughter-in-law thought, and Xu Yinyin was admitted to the palace, she would have to quickly take Sun Xiuxiang to apologize.
The inquirer reported back: "The angel came with a reward from the emperor. I heard that Miss Xu discovered a large mine, so I gave it to her specially."
"Reward? If it was because of the discovery of mineral deposits, how could the emperor specially send someone to reward Miss Xu?" Mrs. Cui's heart skipped a beat, "What were the rewards?"
Mrs. Zheng also thought it was too strange. According to past practice, wouldn't this be issued directly by the Ministry of Household Affairs according to the procedures? Why did they mobilize so many troops and even send out angels?
This is incredible.
However, Xu Yinyin discovered a large mineral deposit? How come they have never heard of it?
The man hurriedly said: "I was rewarded with two hundred taels of gold and a jade Ruyi."
Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Zheng were shocked again.
Although the reward of two hundred taels of gold is a lot more than usual, no matter how much silver it is, it is just silver, and it is different to reward Ruyi of jade.
Why is this so?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and felt that they could not be careless.
Mrs. Cui immediately sent someone to the Yamen to invite her husband back. The couple had a secret conversation in the room.
Early on the next morning, Sun Xiuxiang, who was lame and had a broken tongue, was escorted back to the state capital by several women and a team of servants.
Why did she become lame and hurt her tongue? Oh, she wanted to climb out of the window the night before, but she fell down and bit her tongue.
When they arrived at Sun's house in Zhoucheng, the mother-in-law brought Cui Tongpan's words to Sun Zhizhong. Sun Zhizhong listened. Within two days, news came out from Sun's house that Sun Xiuxiang was in poor health and needed to return to his hometown to rest.
In Yiyang Mansion, after Sun Xiuxiang was sent away in a package, Mrs. Cui also asked Mrs. Zheng to prepare a gift and send it to the Xu family, apologizing to Xu Yinyin for Sun Xiuxiang's drunken speech and incomprehensible words.
Xu Yinyin had already heard the news that Sun Xiuxiang was sent away, so she didn't want to slap the Cui family in the face. She immediately accepted the thank you gift and never mentioned it again.
Speaking of gifts, Xu Yinyin thought about it, prepared a gift, and took the car to Chongniao Town.
The emperor will personally reward her. This great honor is all thanks to Mr. Yang. When drinking water, don’t forget the man who dug the well. How can she not express her gratitude to Mr. Yang in person?
Yang Weiming asked her to thank him, but he waved his hands repeatedly and said you're welcome.
To be honest, he didn't expect that the emperor would personally send an angel to deliver the reward. Not to mention that the reward included a jade Ruyi.
That's not because of him. Thinking about it, it can only be because of those chili peppers grown in Xu Chunshan.
At this moment, Yang Weiming also re-evaluated the Xu family in his heart. Even though the Xu family only ran a shop, if you think about it carefully, it really shouldn't be underestimated.
How many ordinary merchants have registered with the emperor?
It's a pity that Miss Xu is already engaged, otherwise, she would be a good match for his eldest son.
It seems that Miss Xu has a younger brother? But I heard he is only thirteen, right? He is two years younger than his second daughter, which is inappropriate.
Several thoughts flashed through Yang Weiming's mind, but they didn't show it at all on his face, "You deserve this. It's all the emperor's favor. Miss Xu really doesn't need to thank me."
Xu Yinyin smiled and said: "Thank you. Others don't know the inside story, and you don't know it yet? I didn't do much in this matter. It's all thanks to Master Yang."
Yang Weiming knew very well whether there was anyone who had contributed. This was all thanks to Miss Xu, but thanks came and went incessantly, and Miss Xu was a little too polite.
Yang Weiming only brought up this topic and then brought up something else, "The Ministry of Industry has sent people. From now on, we can't approach Wolong Mountain casually. We have to tell the Dongba people about this."
, lest they rush in one day without knowing what is going on. It just so happens that I have something to go over there, so I stopped by and said, Miss Xu, do you want to go to Dongba Village with us?"
Xu Yinyin refused without thinking, "I have already visited them before and they were all very good, so I won't go now."
By now, it's dinner time.
She was afraid that the village chief was too enthusiastic and wanted to keep her for dinner.
