When Liu San heard the knock on the door, he answered it and opened the courtyard door. He saw two figures standing in the snow outside, one tall and one short. He was about to ask who it was when the tall one suddenly
His face suddenly came up, and he had a clear look through the lantern at the door. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground, and ran into the yard like a pee, shouting: "Ghost" as he ran.
Ah, ghost, free lich, read the full text!"
At this time, Zhao Maimai and Mrs. Huangfu were feeling sad in the main room. When they heard Liu San's ghostly scream, they quickly stood up and stood at the door and shouted: "Liu San, what are you calling for!"
Liu San rushed to Zhao Xiaomai and pointed behind him, his body trembling as if something. At this moment, Zhao Wu immediately came from the backyard with his people and surrounded the two people at the door.
"Please... may I ask, is this the Zhao family in Shangjia Village? I am Boss Wu, and I am here to find my daughter!" The short figure asked tremblingly when he saw the posture in front of him, because he was so cold.
The voice was trembling, and listening to it in the dark, it was really penetrating.
Zhao Xiaomai was also startled when he heard Boss Wu's voice, and heard Liu San whisper in a trembling voice: "Not only Boss Wu, but also Li Dayong, I saw his face with my own eyes, it's all white!"
Zhao Wu's eyes turned cold. They were soldiers and guards. How many people had died on the battlefield back then. If they were all afraid of ghosts, why would they still be alive today? So he strode forward and caught the tall man in. Sure enough,
I saw that the man's face was white, but he was just from the cold, and there was hot breath coming out of his mouth, so he looked like he was alive.
"Master Yuan, he is alive!" Zhao Wu said.
"We are alive, we are not dead!" When Li Dayong saw the situation in front of him, he knew that he was looking for the right place. In these eight villages, except for the Zhao family in Shangjia Village, who else could have such a powerful family?
Guard?
"Is it really Boss Wu, Li Dayong?" Zhao Xiaomai saw that Zhao Wu said he was alive, so he hurried forward, saw the two of them at a glance, and said happily, "Are you really not dead?" [
"Master Zhao, Master Zhao, we finally found you!" As soon as Boss Wu saw Zhao Xiaomai, he knelt down with a pop.
After they arrived at Chuhan, they met the previous boatmen, and then they learned about the two heads hanging on the city gate. It turned out that all the boatmen thought they were dead. They felt even more panicked and hurried to find Wu Yulian, fearing that Wu Yu
Lian and her children would be troubled, but they didn't expect that Wu Yulian had arrived at Shangjia Village a long time ago. The two of them didn't even bother to eat, so they drove to Shangjia Village in a carriage. The horse fell down on the way and couldn't leave.
The two of them asked Wu Laoer and Wu Laosan to look at the carriage, and then they walked to Shangjia Village. Because they were tired, hungry, and cold from walking all the way, their faces were pale, and the reflection of the heavy snow made them look pale.
It really looked like a dead person, no wonder Liu San was startled.
"Get up, get up, it's good that you're not dead. Wu Yulian thought you were dead before..." Zhao Xiaomai was also excited and couldn't even speak, so he quickly asked Liu San to go to the backyard to inform.
Jin Yu was so frightened when she heard Liu San yelling that there was a ghost. Now that it's the New Year's Eve, those things are most likely to come out. Later, when she heard that Boss Wu and Li Yong were back alive, she quickly followed Wu Yulian to the main room in front.
In the main room, Wu Boss and Li Yongzheng drank a bowl of hot water, and Li Zi brought two bowls of steaming rice porridge, two steamed buns, and some leftovers from dinner. The two of them didn't dislike it, and they ate deliciously.
"Dad, Dayong!" Wu Yulian burst into tears as soon as she entered the door and saw two living family members. She stepped forward and threw herself into Li Dayong's arms.
Li Dayong hugged Wu Yulian, a big man, and he burst into tears.
When he was in Luo Guo Prison, his head was hurt so badly that he felt dizzy all day long. At that time, he was really afraid of death. What would Wu Yulian and her children do if he died? Wu Yulian was already suffering enough.
If he died, he was really afraid that Wu Yulian wouldn't be able to survive.
Now holding his wife in his arms, feeling the softness and reality, this strong man couldn't hold on any longer and burst into tears.
Boss Wu was also wiping his tears and murmuring: "At least I'm back, I'm back!"
"Grandpa, Dad!" Li Hai broke free from Xia Zhi's hand and ran in, hugging Li Dayong's thigh tightly.
"My good son!" Li Dayong bent over and hugged Li Hai. Only then did he realize that he was crying. He quickly touched his tears, his face full of embarrassment.
"It's good to be back safely, thank God!" Jin Yu also wiped her tears and said, "You guys talk for a while, I'll go see if there's anything else to eat in the kitchen, you're welcome, just treat this place as your home
!”
The Wu family quickly thanked him.
Jin Yu and Mrs. Huangfu went to the kitchen, while Zhao Maimai took Liu San outside to pick up Wu Lao Er and Wu Lao San who were still on the way, so only the Wu family was left in the lobby of the main house.[
"What's going on? Dad, you don't know, I was scared to death just now. When I know you guys are dead, I feel like the sky is going to fall!" At this moment, Wu Yulian no longer has the courage to recall that she learned about Wu Yulian.
The moment after her boss and Li Dayong died, she had no idea what she did or said. She only knew that if Li Dayong and his father died, she and Li Hai would not be able to survive!
"It's okay. It's just that I delayed my return due to some matters. After I came back, I went directly to the capital to see my wife, so I didn't have time to inform you, which made you worried!" Wu Yulian would only be extra worried if Wu Yulian knew about the danger of Luo country.
Uneasy, Li Dayong glanced at Mr. Wu and took him away lightly.
"But don't everyone say that it was Luo State who detained you? Then will this ship be able to go to sea in the future?" Wu Yulian didn't believe that she knew about the boatman's detention. In her heart, she
I don’t want Li Dayong and Mr. Wu to go out on the ship again.
"It's okay, there was a flood in Luo State and we were detained!" Li Dayong said quickly, then touched his belly and said, "Daughter-in-law, let us eat some food first. I was in a hurry to come to you, but I haven't been there all day.
It’s time to eat, it’s cold here!”
Wu Yulian quickly stopped asking, moved the food in front of the two of them, and said quickly: "Eat quickly, eat it while it's hot!"
Jinyu now brought a plate of newly made Mushu meat and placed it in front of the two of them. He also asked Lizi to bring a small basket of dumplings and said, "Eat it while it's hot. Eat more. Follow me when you get here."
It feels like home, you’re welcome!”
Boss Wu and Li Dayong quickly thanked them, and they started to eat hungrily.
Wu Yulian hugged Li Hai and sat aside, watching the two of them eating heartily, feeling satisfied in her heart.
At this moment, Zhao Maimai and Liu San welcomed Wu Laoer and Wu Laosan back. The two entered the house, feeling excited and happy again.
"The horse is injured. Let Mr. Li come and take a look tomorrow. You guys will stay here tonight. There will be a place to sleep in the back!" Zhao Xiaomai said, shaking his frozen hands.
The Wu family quickly thanked him.
"Thank you, we are all a family, you're welcome!" Zhao Xiaomai waved his hand, and seeing that it was getting late, he let Jin Yu and Mrs. Huangfu go to bed first, while he waited in the lobby for the Wu family to finish their meal.
, he took them to the backyard, arranged their accommodation, and then returned to the house to sleep.
Lying on the hot kang, thinking of the twists and turns this night, Zhao Xiaomai couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to come back safely, otherwise, our family really can't explain to Wu Yulian mother and son!"
Jin Yu turned sideways and said: "Put more red envelopes to the people of the Wu family tomorrow to calm their fears. There are also other boatmen who need to be rewarded. Last time they were pirates, this time they are Luo Guo.
If our family doesn’t show any expression, I’m afraid no one will dare to go to sea!”
Zhao Xiaomai nodded and said he would be busy with this matter tomorrow.
Jin Yu had finished all the things at home. It was already the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and the house was busy celebrating the New Year.
After the New Year, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Yi came from Lucheng with gifts to visit relatives.
During the last engagement, Liu Yi's engagement gift made Jin Yu feel more proud, so Jin Yu was obviously much more polite when meeting Liu Yi this time.
"Are you still getting used to it in Lucheng?" Jin Yu asked, now sounding like a future mother-in-law caring about her son-in-law.
"Dongcha'er has been in Li and Rao countries successively. I have been in Li and Rao countries in these years. I know the folk customs of Lucheng and Dongcha'er very well, so I am very good at management. A few years ago, the stream water was diverted to Dongcha'er.
Cha'er Grassland, it is estimated that after the spring, Dongcha'er Grassland will return to its previous prosperity. The latest chapter of the Nine Triathlons! In addition to A Yuan, most of my subordinates are from Aunt Chu in Lucheng, and they also respect me. In addition, the imperial court
There is basically no problem with the canonization!" Liu Yi paused, glanced at Mai Xiang, and said with a smile, "It's just that the Dongchaer Palace still lacks a Dongchaer Princess!"
Mai Xiang's little face suddenly became shy, and she glanced at Jin Yu anxiously.
Jin Yu gently cleared her throat and said: "Although you are a prince, my sister gave it to you, so my Mai Xiang is worthy of you. In fact, Mai Xiang is not too young as you.
It's time to get married, but I need to discuss this matter with my sister first and let her help choose a date. I just want my sister to come back. After all, she also watched Mai Xiang grow up!
"
When Liu Yi heard that Jin Yu finally agreed, he quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you madam, then Liu Yi will send someone to the capital to discuss it with Aunt Chu!"
Jinyu nodded.
Mai Xiang didn't expect Jin Yu to be so happy this time, and she was filled with joy, so she shyly hurried into the back room.
Liu Yi's face was also full of joy.
Talking about the Capital Palace, during this Chinese New Year, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother specially sent Grandma Zhu to help. This time, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother did not dare to have any thoughts, for fear of another agricultural year, so this year was just as good as usual.
Just like before, just eat and drink.
It was already the Lantern Festival when Chu Yiqing received Jin Yu's letter. At this moment, she was accompanying the Queen Mother and her concubines to enjoy the moon in the palace garden. On this festival, she received Jin Yu's letter and heard about Liu Yi and Mai.
If Xiang wants to get married, she will feel extremely happy.
"Queen, what's the happy event? Share it with us!" Seeing the constant smile on Chu Yiqing's face, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother asked.
"This is a letter from Chu Han. One of my nieces is getting married. I am happy for her!" Chu Yiqing said with a smile.
"But the Chu Han Zhao family?" With Abao by her side, the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother had heard a lot about the Zhao family, so she asked.
Chu Yiqing nodded and said, "Yes, it's the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, named Mai Xiang!"
"I heard from A Bao that the Zhao family are really good people. Back then, A Bao was also taken care of by the Zhao family, otherwise the Ai family might not be able to see this good great-grandson. Now that the eldest daughter of the Zhao family is getting married, the Ai family
Also give me something to express your gratitude!" the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor said with a smile.
When Chu Yiqing heard this, he quickly stepped forward to salute and thank the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor nodded and sent someone to Chu Han to convey Yi's decree.
When all the concubines heard this, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. Everyone knew what they felt.
In fact, all the concubines know in their hearts that the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor is now taking care of the face of Buddha Chu Yiqing. Otherwise, how can the small Zhao family still serve the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor?
The Queen Mother's edict went to Chu Han, but Li Huang's edict went to Prince Dongcha'er's Mansion in Lucheng to marry Liu Yi and Mai Xiang. Now this marriage is a marriage granted by the Holy One, and Mai Xiang, the Princess of Dongcha'er, is the one to sit on.
It's stable.
On February 2nd, the dragon raised his head, and the emperor's imperial edict and the empress dowager's imperial edict all arrived in Shangjia Village. People in the whole village knelt on the ground, watching the Zhao family receive the edict.
"...I grant you the marriage to Zhao Maixiang as Princess Dongcha'er. I do so!" The eunuch who announced the decree finished reading the decree and stepped forward with a smile. He pointed to the two carts of rewards behind him and said, "This cart is a reward from the Queen Mother, and the other cart is from the Emperor.
Congratulations to Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao for the reward with the Queen!"
Zhao Xiaomai and Jin Yu were still confused. Fortunately, Mrs. Huangfu and Mai Xiang had seen big scenes and quickly pulled them up, and then the whole family stepped forward to receive the imperial edict.
Following the imperial edict and Yi's edict, everyone in Shangjia Village exploded.
"My mother, the princess! Let me tell you, Liu Yi is no ordinary person at first glance. He turns out to be a prince. Read the full text of The New World in Doomsday!"
"The Zhao family is so lucky. A queen was born, and then a princess was born. Our village has also benefited from it!"
"From now on, if you follow the Zhao family well, you will be blessed!"
…
Amidst everyone's admiration, Jin Yu couldn't help but raise her head high. What she cared about was not the imperial edict, but the emperor's gift of marriage. Now that Mai Xiang was the emperor's consort, she could straighten her waist.
Already.
Within a day, the news of the marriage granted by the Holy One and the reward from the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother spread throughout Chu Han. The Zhao family in Shangjia Village once again became a hot topic in the entire Chu Han, and even the Ma Mansion in the famous town also became a hot topic.
The object of ridicule.
On this day, there was not a single customer among the cyclamen. Ma Tengqi entered the restaurant from the back. When he saw the scene in front of him, he said bitterly: "These snobbery people, they flatter the Zhao family, can the Zhao family give them money? No
Is she just a shabby princess? What's so great about her?"
Ma Quan glanced at the crowd watching the excitement outside, stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "Master, you can bear it if you can. Many people are waiting to see our excitement now!"
Ma Teng had no choice but to hold back this breath and asked in a low voice: "Where is the young lady? Why don't you see her so early in the morning?"
Ma Quan quickly said in a low voice: "The young master and the young madam had another big argument last night. This early in the morning, the young madam went back to her parents' house. I haven't had time to report to the master yet!"
"It's noisy, noisy, noisy, how can you talk about being virtuous, kind, gentle and pleasant? Shit, she is just a shrew, don't you understand that she will obey her husband when she gets married?" Ma Teng said bitterly.
Ma Quan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Actually, it's the young master's fault. He didn't go into the bridal chamber on the night of the wedding, but slept alone in the study. Fortunately, you didn't care about it, otherwise..."
"A woman should tie her husband's heart. If she can't even tie her husband's heart, how can she have the nerve to make a fuss?" Ma Teng said bitterly.
Ma Quan couldn't say anything, so he had to respond.
"Where is Yunfei? Has Yunfei gone to the Yamen?" Ma Teng asked again.
Ma Quan nodded.
"He should have known about the imperial edict before us, but he always acted as if it were true. Do you think Yunfei pretended to be like this on purpose, or did he really let it go?" Ma Teng asked in a low voice.
He was very happy when he saw Ma Yunfei accept Miao Ge before, but when he did what he did on the wedding day, his heart became anxious again.
"Master, I have been a bachelor all my life, how can I understand such things as the love between children?" Ma Quan sighed.
"That's all, I'll go to the Yamen and ask Yunfei to bring Yu Yan'er back first. At this critical moment, we can't let anyone misunderstand us!" Ma Teng said quickly.
Ma Quan nodded quickly.
The Ma family is anxious to pretend that the incident has been eliminated, but the Zhao family in Shangjia Village is almost overjoyed at this moment. From the day the emperor granted the marriage and set the wedding date, people in the Zhao family's courtyard have been coming and going.
Continuously, first they were the Zhao family's customers in famous towns, and then they were the magistrates of various counties. Zhao Xiaomai was as busy as a top day by day, greeting four or five groups of guests a day. Although he was tired, he was happy in his heart.
A few days later, Ma Yunfei sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts, but before they could be carried into the Zhao family's door, they were blocked by Jin Yu.
"Mrs. Zhao, we are here to send you gifts from the county master. If you are like this..." Ma Quan said with a smile, "please ask Mrs. Zhao to give us a face!"
"We, from a small family, don't dare to accept the congratulatory gift from your county master. You should just take it back!" Jin Yu said coldly, showing no face at all.
"Mrs. Zhao, I feel sorry for what happened before. It was our master's fault, but it has nothing to do with our young master. You see..." Ma Quan was still pleading for love and fired at the mother bully. Read the full text.
"Mom!" Mai Xiang heard it in the yard and called Jin Yu.
Jin Yu snorted coldly and entered the courtyard.
"Mom, you'd better accept the gift!" Mai Xiang whispered.
"Our family doesn't lack their gifts!" Jin Yu muttered.
"There is no shortage, but if we don't accept it, others will think that our family is still resenting the Ma family's divorce, which will not be good for my reputation!" Mai Xiang said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu turned around like a whirlwind and greeted Liu San, had someone carry the gifts in, and then closed the door with a bang.
Ma Quan and his men stood outside the door in a daze. It took him a long time to realize what he was doing. He gave a wry smile and went back to resume his life.
In Ma's study room, Ma Yunfei listened to Ma Quan tell what happened, and he sighed quietly.
"Master, I ask you to bring the young lady back as soon as possible, especially at this juncture, don't let anyone take advantage of her!" Ma Quan couldn't help but advise.
Ma Yunfei nodded: "Uncle Quan, don't worry, I will go and bring her back tomorrow. I will pay attention to Miss Zhao in the days before she gets married!"
After hearing this, Ma Quan became even more sad. The more the young master thought about Miss Zhao, which meant that he was still thinking about it. Hey, what a sin!
A month later, on March 3rd, the spring light was bright and everything revived. It was the day of Mai Xiang's wedding.
In the Zhao family's house, Jin Yu was dressed in a festive red robe, with makeup on her face. She was sitting among a group of women, laughing happily. In the yard at this moment, red happy words were plastered all over the tree trunks, walls, and table legs.
Behind the chairs, servants were washing pots and dishes and washing vegetables, and loads of meat and vegetables were being carried to the backyard.
"The prefect sent you a congratulatory gift, including ten pieces of silk and eight boxes of jade jewelry..."
"Master Cui from the famous town sent a congratulatory gift..."
"Shopkeeper Mo from the famous town of Heaven and Earth sent a congratulatory gift..."
"Mr. Yang from the famous town, Madam, congratulations on the new year..."
…
Following Liu San's crisp shout, a bunch of congratulatory gifts came in, and Jin Yu was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
Those who came to send congratulatory gifts first knelt down in front of the hall to worship the imperial edict and the edict of the Holy Patriarch and the Queen Mother. When everyone saw the sixteen-carat dowry given by the Holy Emperor, they were all stunned. Some of the timid ones were so frightened that they could not speak.
, shivering, even Zhao Maimai and Jin Yu didn't dare to accept their thanks one by one, and were sent directly to the backyard.
At this moment, in Mai Xiang's room, Xi Niang, the luckiest girl in Quanming Town, was combing Mai Xiang's hair and dressing up. Everyone was clicking their tongues as they listened to the bursts of shouting outside.
Mai Xiang bit her lip, thinking about her hard work over the years, she couldn't help but shed tears.
As soon as Mai Xiang cried, the bridesmaids quickly persuaded: "Miss Zhao, this is a big happy event. We have been bridesmaids all our lives, and we have never seen such a big scene. Miss Zhao's marriage is an unprecedented event for us."
It’s my first time!”
Mai Xiang nodded, and now she realized that she would shed tears when she was happy!
Since it was a marriage granted by the emperor, even the empress dowager and empress of the Holy Ancestor were also rewarded. In addition, Li Tieshuan, the prefect of Chu Han, was in charge, so Mai Xiang's marriage was destined to be a lively affair. Four suona troupes played and played firecrackers early in the morning.
The sound kept ringing, and people from villages all over the place came to see the excitement.
