382 Ending: Happiness Forever
After sending Luo Qianxue away, Shui Yao was finally able to be quiet here, and she thought a lot about sitting in the room.
The palace, she has never been to that place in her two lives, and she never thought that in this life she would have the opportunity to go there and meet the legendary emperor, and it would be false to say in her heart that she was not excited.
Seeing Jiang Zijun and them, Shui Yao and his group grabbed their relatives and asked endless questions, and some of them leaked their emotions, and they directly hugged their men and began to cry.
Cao Yunpeng didn't come over this time, but Cao Yunjie and Cao Yunzu came, and they were also notified, Shui Yao estimated that there was a chance that the Cao family would be able to get out this time.
"Uncle, second uncle, how is the situation on my father's side?"
Seeing his niece coming, Cao Yunzu's uncomfortable mood finally improved, and they originally planned to go back directly, but the emperor asked them all to come, which is a holy decree and cannot be disobeyed, but standing in these piles of people, I always feel quite awkward, after all, their identities are different from others.
"Uncle, second uncle, don't be nervous, this time should be a good thing, you represent the most benevolent village and the Cao family-"
Shui Yao pulled Cao Yunzu and the two brothers aside and talked for a while, so that the two of them were a little mentally prepared, if the emperor didn't mention it, let them mention it themselves, this is the only opportunity to face the saint, but they must not miss it.
As the people listening to the announcement entered one after another, Shui Yao and Xu Wu were really a little apprehensive when they were waiting outside.
"Shui Yao, what reward can the emperor give us this time, gold and silver treasures?"
Shui Yao glanced at him, "We lack this?" Let me tell you, we can make a lot of money this year, you should also take a long-term view, think about something long-term, we have the ability to earn money, some things have the ability but may not be able to fight for it, think about it, what is your biggest ideal? ”
Xu Wu smiled, "I don't like to be an official, but I like to manage people." ”
Jiang Zijun patted him on the shoulder, "Since you have this idea, then mention it to the emperor, these beggar brothers of yours have really made a great contribution this time, without their help, how could they destroy the rebels so quickly." ”
The old man of the Chu family looked at the three young people in front of him, and said with a sigh, "I never thought in my life that I would be able to walk into the palace and see the emperor, and it is all the credit of Zijun and their three children." ”
Luo Yuzhang nodded on the side, "Yes, without them, it would be really hard for me and Brother Chu and my sister-in-law to imagine——"
To be able to get out of the dark dungeon, they are actually very grateful to God, but they didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise waiting for them behind.
The Chu family was named an imperial merchant by the emperor this time, and was given a plaque of the House of Loyalty, and all the properties of the Chu family that were occupied by the eight princes were returned, and the identity of the heirloom holder of the Chu family was also pardoned by the emperor, but this heirloom was taken back by the royal family.
Because of this move, the Cao family and those people in the village of sinners were all exempted from responsibility, those who died in the war enjoyed pensions, the Cao family restored their previous identity and status, and their property was returned, as for Cao Yunpeng, he was promoted to two levels and continued to be in charge of Yizhou.
Luo Yuzhang also received a reward here, and this time he can be regarded as a great achievement, without his continuous delivery of supplies, it is difficult to say how this battle would have turned out.
As for Song Shicheng's position to general, he was promoted to two levels, and he finally fulfilled his wish, and he is no longer the person who is just a deputy of others, who listens to people's orders and just fights and kills.
Ouyang Hua also got a reward, and he also got the title of a royal military advisor, Ouyang Hua didn't expect this thing himself, with this name, he could go sideways in the future.
As for Shui Yao, Jiang Zijun and Xu Wu, the emperor personally said the merits of the three of them.
Shui Yao and Jiang Zijun got married by the emperor, Shui Yao estimated that this should be the awakening of the fifth prince, and gave her the status of the county lord.
Jiang Zijun and Xu Wu gave a sign, a parade envoy, who could parade around for the emperor, supervise those officials to manage those injustices, and also impeach those who were officials.
Therefore, these two people really can't be offended, because their letters can reach the emperor directly, and they will be rewarded for the gold and silver of the good land.
"Xu Wu, I heard that your beggar brothers have helped a lot this time, and now I give you the title of the first beggar gang leader in the world, and I hope you can continue to manage these beggars well in the future, and continue to contribute to my departure from the country."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, Xu Wu happily kowtowed directly to thank him, this is what he wants the most, and he can manage and pull up the beggars openly in the future.
As for Jiang Zijun and Shui Yao, the emperor doesn't know what to reward, these two people are not short of gold and silver, and this status is okay at present.
But even so, I asked.
Shui Yao kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the people have no other ideas, I have a pair of hands, I can create a future life by myself, the only thing I hope is that we can leave the country, the country and the people will be safe, and the emperor will be healthy." ”
The emperor said that this sentence was very happy, I didn't expect this little girl to say it like this, but Shui Yao then said, "There is also a hope, that is, I hope that all the past events of the previous dynasty can be blamed in the past, unless these people are really evil, as for those legends or something, I hope to let it disappear in the long river of history——"
Because the emperor already has a piece of heirloom in his hand, he feels in his heart that no one can take this piece, and no one can really move the matter about the treasure of the previous dynasty, so the emperor agreed to what Shui Yao said, and he is not to blame for the past.
As for Jiang Zijun, he didn't have any other ideas, except for wishing the country a rich and strong people, and long live the emperor.
Shui Yao and the others went out, and when they saw the two brothers of the Cao family outside the door hugging their heads and crying, Shui Yao couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Uncle, second uncle, we should be happy, the Cao family will still be the same Cao family as before, but this time it is also a lesson, in the future, you must pay attention to the people or things in the family, and the back house must also be managed well, this time the accident in the back house will affect the Cao family." ”
Cao Yunzu wiped his eyes and nodded, "Yes, we have already told your grandmother about this, let your second uncle also participate in the management in the future, this house is not restless, the house is not restless, Shui Yao, the Cao family can have today, the uncle really wants to thank you!" ”
Cao Yunzu and his brothers wanted to bow and let Shui Yao hold him, "Uncle, second uncle, aren't you trying to torture me, don't forget that I also have the blood of the Cao family on my body, and if the Cao family is good in the future, we will be fine." ”
Speaking of this, Cao Yunjie didn't forget to tell Jiang Zijun a few words, "Boy, you will marry our family Shui Yao in the future, you have to treat her well, my niece is not easy, I hope she can go smoothly in the future, and you don't have to worry about anything-"
Chu Zhenghong walked over, "Brother in-law, don't worry, the men of our Chu family have always been good to their daughters-in-law, and this matter will not be bad in the future." ”
Cao Yunjie remembered one thing, "Shui Yao, you said that the Cao family has also returned to its original state, what do you think about your father and your mother, I know that your father has never forgotten your mother in his heart." ”
Shui Yao sighed, "I can't be the master of this matter, my mother has experienced so much, it is impossible to say that my father is not wrong at all, if my father still has my mother in his heart, then take out the strength of the year and marry my mother again, but whether this thing can be done depends on my mother's meaning." ”
Luo Yuzhang nodded on the side, "That's it, I won't talk about the things that Cao Yunpeng did, after all, my niece is in front of me, but if you want to win my sister's heart, he has to pass me first, otherwise my brother-in-law will not agree to let my sister suffer twice." ”
Shui Yao gave her uncle a thumbs up, "Gao, I'll leave this matter to you—"
The emperor also rewarded the palace banquet, but looking at the delicacies in front of them, many people tasted it lightly, and no one was afraid of losing their manners on such an occasion, even if they were hungry, they would not eat more.
However, Shui Yao and they don't have this worry, Jiang Zijun and Xu Wu take care of them very well, and they give Shui Yao whatever they like to eat.
It was the first time that the emperor had seen such a move like Xu Wu and them, just the way these people ate, even he unconsciously ate two more chopsticks, and looking at the performance of other people, he was more willing to talk to Xu Wu and them.
"Xu Wu, Chu Yuntian, how does this palace banquet taste like?"
"Back to the emperor, the things in your palace are indeed delicious, we haven't eaten them before, since we are here, then why do we have to taste it well, otherwise we are all sorry for your old heart, then it can't be wasted, otherwise I will feel sorry for this food and sorry for the people who prepare these delicious dishes carefully."
The emperor praised Xu Wu's words, "That's right, the food is made for people to eat, you're welcome, if you three like it in the future, come into the palace to accompany me to eat, I welcome you very much, eat with you, I feel a special appetite——"
Shui Yao didn't expect Xu Wu's words to be exchanged for this, and the three of them bowed together to thank the emperor for his gift.
The people who are doing it regret this in their hearts, they knew that the emperor liked this tune, and they would also eat a lot, so how could they be hungry.
The fifth prince was very satisfied with the performance of these three children, and he did not mistake these three people.
In the emperor's toast, everyone ended the palace banquet, watching Shui Yao and them walk out, even the emperor sighed, "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, these people are the future of our departure from the country, Lao Wu, it seems that we are really old, in them I seem to see the shadow of our year——"
Two years later, Shui Yao got married, not only the princes but even the emperor sent Shui Yao a dowry, and these ten miles of red makeup made passers-by look at and women envious, but none of them could envy them, who let the family have this ability.
It's a pity that they only see the surface, and if they were allowed to see the silver tickets in this box, I'm afraid these women would be crazy.
In the past two years, although Cao Yunpeng and Luo Qianxue have interacted personally, they have not been approved by Luo Qianxue, and in the end, the old lady came forward.
made a lot of guarantees in front of Luo Yuzhang and Luo Qianxue, so that the son finally married his daughter-in-law again, and Luo Qianxue was self-reliant and did not mix with those people in the Cao family.
Watching her parents, younger siblings and relatives see her off, Shui Yao's tears slid down her cheeks, in this life, she finally fulfilled her wish, protected her relatives, and found her true lover.
Jiang Zijun stood at the bow of the boat, hugged Shui Yao, and waved into the distance, "Don't worry, we will come back in the future, they are also my parents and relatives-"
Cao Yunpeng watched the boat gradually go away, hugged Luo Qianxue and leaned together, silently looking into the distance, until the boat and the sea became a line, and the people at the pier also became the scene in the painting, everyone's heart was full of blessings at the moment, wishing this couple a happy forever in the future-
