Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the couple, Xiao Han's remaining anger gradually dissipated.
Although this was done somewhat anticlimactically.
But in the final analysis, these two people are what Yang Wenwen calls a pair of foolish husband and wife.
Small mistakes happen, but big mistakes really don’t count!
Of course, if he really wants to punish the two of them, there is nothing wrong with that.
In this strict hierarchical society, if you collide with the Marquis, it is not an exaggeration to beat him to death.
But in that case, apart from being able to vent one's anger, there's really no point in doing anything else. It's better to just let the two of them go, maybe it can become a good thing in the future.
Xiao Hanfang and the two of them stumbled away. When the other guests saw this scene, their hearts were in their throats, but they finally relaxed.
Some of the ones who had screamed the loudest just now slumped down on their chairs, their eyes rolled back, and their crotches were almost wet.
Hey, I finally saved my life! From now on, I won’t dare to do that stupid thing of looking down on others!
The county official, Yang Wenwen, looked at the faces of everyone in the courtyard at this time. Although he did not see what had just happened, he had a vague guess in his mind.
"These scoundrels, no matter who they offend, they offended the Marquis. This old lady hanged herself. She's tired of living?!"
His cheeks were a little twitching. Yang Wenwen was cursing these blind fools in his heart, and at the same time he made a sad expression, bowed to Xiao Han and said, "This... this is all because of the lax government and the lack of strict governance of the people, which allowed these stupid people to rush into each other."
If you kill the Marquis, please punish him."
What could Xiao Han say at this time? The culprit was let go, and he was punished! He had no choice but to follow the trend, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's just a misunderstanding."
As soon as this was said, everyone was really happy.
Yang Wen Zhang and Cui Jingzhi wiped their sweat together and looked at each other quietly. Alas, the information was not in vain. This Marquis is still easy to talk to.
With the grudges gone, the atmosphere naturally became much more relaxed.
While talking, the two of them heard Xiao Han talk about setting up a banquet today because it was the daughter's 100th birthday. They immediately expressed their congratulations, and then they all took out gifts and gave them to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han, on the other hand, looked at a piece of beautiful jade and a pearl in his hand, and wondered in his heart: How come these two people come prepared?
"Father-in-law, why did you come all the way this time?"
After accepting the gift, Xiao Han thought of Eunuch Cao who had come all the way from afar. This kind of confidant in the emperor's heart would not dare to be left out in the cold! What if he returned to Chang'an and gave Xiao Lizi another pillow...
Ahem, I made a mistake. When I was beating my legs, I said a few words! It would be of no use.
On the other hand, I seemed to vaguely hear him talking about princess just now? What kind of princess!
Xiao Han raised his hand and asked. When Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen saw it, they immediately closed their mouths and looked at Eunuch Cao.
To be honest, the two of them had already thought about this problem when they were rushing here.
Could it be that this grand concubine came all the way to congratulate Xiao Hou’s daughter?
It's not that they haven't thought about this idea, but they quickly shook their heads and rejected it.
Although there are not many marquises in the Tang Dynasty, there are definitely many!
If these marquises, dukes, and princes, every time a child is born, the emperor would send someone to congratulate him, then His Majesty the Emperor would not have to do anything else but just send someone to congratulate him!
These days, which wealthy family can't give birth to ten or eight children?
Several people looked at Eunuch Cao in confusion, but Eunuch Cao smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Haha, our family came here specifically to announce His Majesty's will."
Having said this, he paused, glanced at Xue's mother, who was holding her granddaughter and smiling happily, and continued: "Actually, we should have arrived a few days earlier, but our family and the old woman of the Xue family couldn't get on the boat.
I was dizzy and had no choice but to take the dry road. Fortunately, I didn't miss His Majesty's important event."
"Oh? I see, that's good for my father-in-law!"
Xiao Han suddenly realized that he originally thought that Eunuch Cao deliberately chose to come today, but it turned out that he just happened to be in a hurry and arrived today.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. This is a happy event, so why bother?"
Eunuch Cao still had a smile on his face. After saying this, he looked up at the sky and asked, "Your Majesty's decree is still in our hands. Should we read out your Majesty's decree first?"
"You should! You should!" Xiao Han patted his head and nodded repeatedly.
Respect for the imperial edict is indispensable! If you don’t take these things seriously because of your good relationship with the emperor, you would be really stupid!
Seeing that the imperial edict was about to be read out, Butler Lu, who had been waiting nearby, quickly called for people to set up an incense table.
But as soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Eunuch Cao.
"No need to bother! His Majesty said before leaving that everything should be kept simple!"
When the eunuch said this, he was calm and calm, but when he heard Cui Jingzhi and Yang Wenwen next to him, he could only smile bitterly.
What is this? An imperial edict!
Don't you always treat me with courtesy no matter who you go to? Why do you keep everything simple when you come here?
However, no matter how sad the two of them were, Xiao Han still followed Eunuch Cao's wishes.
Anyway, this is what you said, don’t blame me...
After finding an open space, Eunuch Cao, facing south and facing north, opened the wooden box from the knight's hands with a solemn expression, preparing to read out the imperial edict inside.
There is no need to avoid others when reading the imperial edict.
Therefore, the guests in the courtyard did not leave, but crowded together, curiously watching this rare scene.
In the courtyard, Xiao Han, as the recipient of the order, stood with his hands solemnized in front of Eunuch Cao, ready to listen to the holy will.
After dusting off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, Eunuch Cao respectfully asked for the imperial edict.
When everyone saw this, they immediately stretched their necks and looked into his hands.
But soon, they discovered that the imperial edict was not as bright and golden as they imagined. Instead, it was dark, like a roll of bamboo slips? Oh, no! It was just an antique bamboo slips!
"Let me go and see if this imperial edict can be manipulated by others..."
Someone in the crowd murmured something in a low voice, but his mouth was quickly covered, and he could only make a whine.
They say that laymen only see the excitement, while insiders see the secrets!
All the guests around looked at the imperial edict in surprise. Only Cui Jingzhi and the others were shocked, and then looked at Xiao Han in front of them with his back to them in shock!
"This is a book..."
Yang Wenwen gave a feeble **, even though his official position was not high, his knowledge was worthy of his name!
From the first moment he saw this imperial edict, he recognized it!
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, imperial edicts could basically be divided into two categories and seven minor categories.
Among the six types, there are only some differences in the signature and beginning. Only the book in front of you is made of bamboo slips from ancient times!
Of course, this is not because silk is used reluctantly, but because it is specially used to canonize queens, princes, and kings!
Only bamboo slips can imitate the ancestors and inform ghosts and gods.
(Note: In the Tang Dynasty, the relationship between ministers and the emperor was quite normal. It was not like that in the Braided Dynasty. The emperor regarded his ministers as domestic slaves and servants. Therefore, in the Tang Dynasty, no matter whether they spoke or received orders on weekdays, they would not
