Chapter 153: Imperial Grace
Seeing Xiao Yu stepping out of the Taishou Mansion, Banxia and Xia Zhi, who were anxiously waiting by the carriage, breathed a sigh of relief, hurried to meet her, and helped her into the car.
Trees with sloppy leaves on the side of the road pass through the car window.
Removing his hand from the curtain, Xiao Yu was truly relieved. She really didn't know how those girls who could be calm and calm in the face of the emperor were cultivated, and she couldn't do it now anyway.
Speechless all the way.
As soon as he returned to the Xiao Mansion, someone quickly reported to the old lady that he knew.
Xiao Yu helped Ling Yan's hand to get out of the car, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Hearing this, Ling Yan somehow felt that her eyes were a little swollen, and she patted her hand angrily, and said, "I won't worry about you." It must be a good thing to be summoned by the Holy One. ”
At that moment, he took Xiao Yu's hand and walked to Chunhui Hall.
Xiao Yu smiled: "Didn't you say it?" Sister Yan is really my lucky star! ”
Ling Yan hesitated for a moment, glanced left and right a few times, and then whispered in Xiao Yu's ear, "Could it be that the Holy One also made you a concubine?" ”
Having guessed that Ling Yan was thinking like this, Xiao Yu shook her head, and also leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you think that Your Majesty's grace is only for the concubine?" It's not this, you'll know when you return to Chunhui Hall. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked faster.
Old Mrs. Xiao called someone to wait outside the courtyard, and when she saw the two coming, the maid stepped forward and said with a smile: "But the two girls have arrived, and the old lady has asked people to go to the front to look at it several times." ”
There's already a maid in front of me to pass it on.
After walking a few steps, I saw Shuang Rui coming up to greet the two, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Grandmother has been waiting for a long time, and even my sister has come out." ”
Seeing that Xiao Yu had indeed come back safe and sound, the old lady immediately pulled her and Ling Yan to sit down beside her, and sent the maids down before asking Emperor Qi what she had said in the past.
Xiao Yu noticed that several aunts, aunts, Ling Yan's mother, and several elder brothers were there, so they wanted to get up and salute, and everyone waved their hands together to let her go.
Xiao Wenqiao, the twelfth brother of the anxious son, asked directly: "Sister Yu, what happened to the Holy Lord calling you over?" ”
Everyone looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu smiled: "It's nothing, before the eldest son of the Hua family found a crop corn recorded in ancient books from overseas, I happened to see the planting method in the ancient books collected by my father, so I assisted General Ling and Yue Di Sinong Siqing to plant this corn." ”
Ling Yan was already beside him and said, "It turns out that it's really because of this incident. ”
Xiao Yu nodded with a smile and continued: "That corn grows very well and ripens very quickly, and now it has been harvested over there and sent over quickly, and General Ling mentioned me when he presented it to the emperor, so the Holy Lord announced that I went over to ask." ”
Then Mrs. Xiao asked Xiao Yu about the specific situation of the saint.
Xiao Yu said in detail.
When everyone heard that Emperor Qi opened the golden mouth to seal Xiao Yu as the county lord and she politely refused, they were all a little regretful, Old Madam Xiao was more calm, and asked: "Why did Ah Yu refuse the holy Longen?" ”
Xiao Yu explained the reason with a smile.
The old lady immediately said: "It should be so, Ah Yu did a good job, she didn't faint because of the reward, she is really the daughter of my Xiao family." ”
Ninth Brother Wen Bai said on the side: "It's just that Sister Yu's establishment is successful, and it's a pity that the reward is gone." ”
Mrs. Xiao was just about to turn around and lecture this grandson a few words, when she heard Xiao Yu laugh and say, "Am I so stupid?" His Majesty promised to wait for a good corn harvest in the future. ”
When they heard this, they all laughed.
At this time, Xuemei's smiling voice came into the house: "Old lady, someone from outside has come to report that the things that the Holy God has rewarded our girl have arrived." ”
Everyone became even more jubilant, and immediately surrounded the old lady and Xiao Yu to go out.
After hearing the holy decree, Old Madam Xiao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Listening to the meaning of the saint, this corn has not been planted in other places, and no one knows how to plant sweet potatoes and peanuts, so I hope that Xiao Yu will go back to Yue to help.
Because now only Xiao Yu seems to know what it is, and the rest of the people have never even heard of it before.
Although Mrs. Xiao understands the importance of food to the country, and also knows that if Xiao Yu can grow these things, it will be of great benefit to the Xiao Mansion, but her granddaughter has only been home for a few days and has to travel thousands of miles, which is really reluctant and distressing.
But such a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, if you miss it, you will not have it.
Old Madam Xiao thought for a while and said to Ling Yi: "Good boy, you tell Your Majesty that Ah Yu has just come back, so you can't let her stay at home for another year and a half?" Or, where is this grain not grown? I simply went to Changzhou to plant it. ”
Xiao Yu next to him was a little worried. Although everyone in the house treats her very well, she already misses Xiao Pei and Xiao Yucheng very much. Besides, Ling Yi is definitely going back to South Vietnam, and Ling Yan will go back with Zhong Lang, she is not familiar with Changzhou, so she really doesn't want to stay for a long time.
And what Mrs. Xiao said seems to be very reasonable, not only can she continue to grow corn and sweet potatoes for Daqi, but she can also be accompanied by her grandmother, and loyalty and filial piety can be both, and Emperor Qi should not be easy to refuse.
This time it was Ling Yan's turn to be a little reluctant, she hugged Xiao Yu's arm and whispered, "Sister Ayu, what do you think?" ”
Xiao Yu replied softly: "My thoughts don't matter, it all depends on the saint." ”
The next day, Ling Yi came back from Taishou Mansion, but brought back a sentence from Emperor Qi's original words, and tried to manage it in Yuedi. This means that I hope Xiao Yu will go back to Yuedi.
The old lady was reluctant to know about it, but to be honest, the relationship between the ancestors and grandchildren was not so deep that she couldn't accept the separation, she just felt that Xiao Wu was so bloody, and she had been out of the country for so many years, and she finally came back and left, which was a little sad.
It was almost the end of the year, but Ling Yi hadn't prepared to spend the year here, and was ready to go south.
Emperor Li Jiande of Qi set off for Beijing in the afternoon. Unlike when he came, because everyone knew about the Shengshang's southern tour after the assassin incident, the pomp and honor guard for returning home were complete, and the scene was huge, with officials of all sizes welcoming and seeing off relatives along the way, as well as the guards of the forbidden army who came from the capital.
And Ling Yihuayue's business for this trip has also been completed, so she naturally has to go back to deal with government affairs.
Compared with Old Madam Xiao, she was a little sad, but Ling Yan and Xiao Yu were in a good mood.
Now that we have decided to go back together, we have to hurry up and pack our bags. As the general of Zhennan, Ling Yi has been away from Yuedi for so long, and the affairs in the south are complicated, maybe the official documents waiting for him to review are piled up into a small mountain now, and it is not appropriate to delay any longer.
When I went back, only Xiao Mansion let me bring a whole carriage of things than when I came, and in addition, there were Cheng Yi sent by various provinces one after another, there were so many that Xiao Yu and Ling Yan had to let people pick out some of them to stay in Xiao Mansion.
