Chapter 439: The Imperial Seal is begged
Yudong didn't see the doubt at all, so he just laughed.
Yuxiu was speechless, hoping that he could see whether Shu'er and Brother Wu were intentional, she still believed in herself.
It was Yuliang, after listening to a series of things, the topic changed and asked Wu Jifang, "Brother Wu, why don't you grow a beard?"
Yushu sneered on the side, "Brother Wu took me to the street to buy cloth to make clothes, and the shopkeeper who sold clothes thought he brought the juniors out." ”
Wu Jifang touched his chin, a little embarrassed.
Now he finally doesn't have to wear a beard, and he can grow a beautiful beard. But that time I took Shu'er out to buy cloth, and the eyeless one thought he was old and said that he was taking his daughter to the street, which was really ...... Is it tolerable or unbearable!
When he came home in a fit of rage, he trimmed his beard.
Yuliang couldn't help laughing, Wu Jifang was now strong, and he looked like a man in his thirties with a beard. But he shaved his beard and showed this baby face, but he lost his majesty.
Yuxiu couldn't help but smile.
Resting at night, Yuxiu and Yushu sisters haven't seen each other for a few years, and the feeling of strangeness brought by that time in an afternoon has long since disappeared.
The two sisters huddled intimately on a bed, talking to each other in private conversations.
Yuxiu thought about Wu Jifang's affairs and pushed Yushu, "Shu'er, you and Brother Wu ......"
Yushu was a little shy and was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Sister, I think ...... Brother Wu, it's good. He said...... After this reward, I will find you and my brother to propose marriage. ”
"You two...... It's really fate. Yuxiu sighed with emotion and said lamentingly, "Shu'er is about to get married, I'm really reluctant! I have to help you prepare the dowry!"
Yushu is not as honest as before, "Sister, you still have to prepare your own, along the way, we all heard Zhou Shizi say that we will marry you when we return to Beijing!"
"Shu'er, you've been out for a few years, and you've learned badly!" Yuxiu was angry and went to tickle her, Yushu smiled and dodged, and the sisters made a mess.
When they woke up the next day, the two of them had faint dark circles under their eyes, but they were in good spirits.
Mingzong's edict of reward was soon issued, Yudong was rewarded with the third grade, and Wu Jifang accumulated military merits and was promoted to the third grade.
He happily sent a letter back to Yunchang Town, Mingzhou overnight, telling his family that he wanted to marry Yushu, and asked his father to come to Beijing to help him propose marriage.
The Yan family was happy for a long time, and they began to get busy, Yan Qingjiang and Jiuniang soon arrived in the capital, and the two of them, as uncles and aunts, were busy with Yuxiu's marriage. Yan Jinpeng and Han also brought Yan Lin and Yan Hui to the capital.
The Yan family has a lot of people, and the originally spacious mansion is full of people, and they are happily preparing for Yuxiu's family affairs.
Zhou Ming was busy at home with his own marriage, but was summoned into the palace by Mingzong.
Mingzong Li Chengyun and Xie Huiling couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths when they saw his joyful appearance.
Xie Huiling couldn't help but speak, "Zixian, you chose August as the date of your marriage, and now it's not even June, why do you have to take a vacation?"
It turned out that the day after Zhou Ming received the reward, he went to the fold to take leave.
Why take a leave of absence?
Because he wanted to marry his daughter-in-law, he had to be busy preparing for it.
Li Chengyun really didn't figure it out, there is King Cheng and his wife in charge, and the next person runs errands, what does he, the groom, have to do?
Zhou Ming listened to Xie Huiling's words, but he was righteous, "Mother said that the new house should be decorated, and I have to watch people plant flowers and plants and make furniture!"
Li Chengyun coughed directly, this matter, do you want him, the groom, to watch it personally?
"Holy Lord, this new house is where we live after we get married, and the flowers and furniture must be to our heart's content, so naturally we have to look at it in person to rest assured. Naturally, he wouldn't say that with this reason, he could run to Yanfu every day, secretly meet Xiuxiu, and ask her what flowers she likes to plant in the yard and what style of furniture she likes to play.
Lee Seung-yoon was speechless.
Zhou Ming suddenly thought of something, "Holy Lord, it's a show...... No, the Yan family donated so much silver to make military rations, and Yan Yudong's military exploits were earned by hard work. What about other people's bounties?"
Xie Huiling just wanted to speak, but Zhou Ming stared at him and asked, "Gongzi Xie, if you didn't lose Yudong, how could you wait for the autumn test now?"
Because this year is the year of Dabi, although Xie Huiling entered the palace from time to time as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he did not confer an official. Naturally, I want to wait for the autumn test to pass the Jinshi, and the scenery is beautiful and justifiably embarking on the official career.
Zhou Ming reminded him that he still owed a life-saving grace, Xie Huiling touched his nose, and also bowed down and said, "Holy Lord, the four brothers and sisters of the Yan family are dedicated to the country and can set an example." ”
Li Chengyun looked at the two of them staring at him, especially Zhou Ming's eyes, if he didn't reward Yan Yuxiu, he would have to remind himself that he also owed a life-saving grace, right?
"And what's the reward?" he asked, in a long voice.
Xiuxiu said that as long as people are diligent, there will be no shortage of money. Zhou Ming said immediately.
"Since there is no shortage of money, then there is no need to ......," Li Chengyun said in a long voice.
"Holy Lord, after you ascended the throne, everyone said that you have clear rewards and punishments, and that one can be generous!
He made up his mind, he had to ask for a reward for Xiuxiu. The treasury is so poor that he can't even sweep out a grain of rice, and no matter how much he grinds, he can't let Lee Seung-yoon exchange for Xiuxiu's silver, no silver, so he can exchange his official position!
If Xiuxiu suffers like this, how else will he be a husband?
Thinking of the word husband, Zhou Ming had a sweet smile on his face.
It's a pity that in the eyes of Lee Seung-yun and Xie Huiling, it looks weird.
"Mrs. Yan is the princess when she enters the door......" Xie Huiling couldn't help but remind.
"The princess is not of any grade, and the saint said that there is no money in the treasury, and the Yan family took three million taels of silver. ”
"With so much silver, how many boxes of rouge gouache does she have to make? At least three or four million boxes of rouge to save this little silver. There is also that cart and horse shop, delivering goods once, it is only a hundred or ten cents, and it will take more than ten years to save it back!" Zhou Ming opened his mouth and counted three million taels of silver, how much effort did Yuxiu have to spend to earn it back, and the more he talked, the more indignant he became.
"She's for me...... No, for the sake of border stability, she almost sold her property and lived on the streets! A weak woman who is dedicated to the country should not be rewarded?"
After Zhou Ming finished speaking in one breath, Li Chengyun and Xie Huiling looked at him in admiration.
The prince of Cheng, who was not familiar with general affairs and only knew how to fight, could actually know the profits of transporting goods by chariots and horses?
"Zixian, how long have you been thinking about these words?" Li Chengyun couldn't help but ask.
"From the day I led the troops to the Northland, I started thinking about it. Zhou Ming said with his head held high.
Li Chengyun coughed, "It's hard for you to think so thoroughly, Yan Yuxiu has meritorious service to the country, and he should be rewarded, well, he should be rewarded!"
