Volume 1 Chapter 130 Meritorious Service Rewarded
() With the joint efforts of Yuan Zixi and Nie Wangye, the disaster was perfectly controlled just after the first month, because the measures were taken properly, and even the epidemic that was common after the previous catastrophe did not break out in a large area, and the emperor was naturally happy.
Among all the people involved in the relief effort, one woman's name stood out.
This woman, who sold a small amount of family property, purchased countless medicinal materials and transported them to the disaster area alone, and distributed them to the affected people for free, and the people were grateful to Dade and called this woman a living immortal, but this woman refused to take credit at all, and only let everyone thank the court and the emperor a lot.
Emperor Longyan Dayue issued a decree to reward this woman, because she was unmarried, she could not give an order, so he rewarded her with 10,000 taels of gold, and also gave her a grange on the outskirts of Beijing.
As soon as the news came out, the Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar, gold is nothing, who has never seen 10,000 taels of gold, but the granges on the outskirts of Beijing are hard to find, most of them have been banned by the royal circle, except for the top nobles, many of the granges of the family are thousands of miles away from Beijing or even farther.
This woman is Lin Qingyan, who was notorious for having fornicated with others in Master Fu's mansion before.
In fact, people are forgetful, although Lin Qingyan has a bad reputation because of this incident, but after so long, and there are new things in Beijing every day, this idea of dishonor has long been forgotten.
Besides, everyone doesn't want to marry her into the door, and don't care if she is dishonored.
When Lin Qingyan was still on her way back to Beijing, the post inviting her to the banquet flew to Lin County's Ling's house like snowflakes.
Few people know that she lives in Du Xinlei's house.
Lin County's wife, Cui Shideng, panicked, and hurried to Nie Wang's Mansion to see Nie Linyu, "County Lord, what can I do, that little slut has made such a great achievement, and he was rewarded by the emperor, this is ......"
Cui Shi hated, "If it wasn't for Master Du standing in the way, I would have killed her a long time ago, and I wouldn't have caused today's incident." ”
She is not good to Lin Qingyan, she is simply an enemy, and she doesn't expect to repair the relationship at all, it's impossible.
Nie Linyu was also very depressed, she only realized it at this time, it turned out that the person who had bought the pharmacy short before was Lin Qingyan.
"Don't be afraid, you're her mother-in-law, and she's just getting some rewards now
Even if he has received a decree in the future, he will not dare to do anything to you. Nie Linyu smiled coldly, "I hope she will cut you down, so that you can sue her for unfilial piety." ”
Cui's eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, what the county lord said is too right, she had better be disrespectful to me, as long as she doesn't kill me, I will make her look good." ”
She was about to say goodbye and go back, Nie Linyu hurriedly reminded her, "You have to be careful, Lin Qingyan is ruthless and scheming, if he returns to the Lin family this time, he may really want to kill you." ”
Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale, "County Lord, then what should I do?" Just don't let that little slut come back, hasn't she been living in Master Du's mansion, just let her live there all the time. ”
Nie Linyu felt that Cui's was confused, so she had to wake her up, "She was a nobody before, and no one paid attention to where she lived, but now she has a great reputation, how can she live in someone else's house without a name?" ”
"Besides, she thought, Lin County Ling would never refuse, this daughter has added glory to him like this, can he take it home quickly?"
Cui Shi remembered her husband's face, and couldn't help nodding her head again and again, before her husband ignored this concubine and ran to live in someone else's house, but now that she was rewarded by the emperor, she will immediately start playing the role of a loving father again.
"That'...... That's ......" Choi ran out of ideas.
Nie Lin Yu had no choice but to continue to mention her, "Why does Lin Qingyan live in Master Du's mansion, isn't it because she has a marriage contract with Master Du?" Now that she is so beautiful, I think Bachelor Du really wants to marry her, and I think Lin County Ling also hopes to have such a son-in-law as Bachelor Du, right? ”
Cui suddenly realized.
But since Du Xinlei was the top student in high school and was appreciated by the emperor as a royal attendant, she didn't want Lin Qingyan to marry him, and no mother in the world wanted her concubine to mix too well.
Seeing that the Cui family was so obsessed, Nie Linyu was a little depressed, "Mrs. Lin, think about it, if Lin Qingyan didn't marry Du Xinlei, but married someone with a higher status, wouldn't it be worse for you?" ”
Cui Shi was stunned for a moment, "Is this possible?" ”
Nie Linyu's eyes flashed slightly, "Yes, the name Lin Qingyan is heard by the heavens, the emperor knows it, and the harem ladies also know it, etc."
When she returns to Beijing, the ladies will definitely meet her, if any lady gives her a marriage on a whim, who can stop it? ”
Cui's didn't want Lin Qingyan to marry, she naturally didn't want to, the higher Lin Qingyan's status, the more troublesome it would be to deal with, in contrast, it would be easier for her to marry Du Xinlei, and it would be easier for the two of them to be tied up together.
"Mrs. Cui, if you don't want this concubine to completely climb on your head and show off your might, just fulfill the marriage contract with the Du family." Nie Linyu's eyes flickered, and Mrs. Cui felt furious.
The county lord of Nie Wang's Mansion seems to be very dissatisfied with Lin Qingyan and Du Xinlei, no, it's not just dissatisfaction, it's just full of hatred, as for why, Cui didn't dare to ask, and she didn't want to ask.
Although she is only the wife of the Qipin County Order, the Cui family still understands the basic way of survival in officialdom, and the nobles can not ask if they don't ask, and the less they know, the longer they will live.
Moreover, as far as she is concerned, it is good for Nie Linyu to hate Lin Qingyan so much, so that she will definitely deal with Lin Qingyan, and she can rest easy.
"I'm going back to tell my father-in-law, Qingyan is not young, and since there is a marriage contract, it should be fulfilled as soon as possible."
Looking at the back of Cui's departure, Nie Linyu squinted his eyes and smiled.
Lin Qingyan spent so much effort to help the victims, she didn't have to think about it to know what she was going to do, it was nothing more than to restore her reputation and let herself have greater value in the marriage market.
It's a pity that he won't let her get her wish.
Although it was out of the first month, the weather was still very cold, and for the next few days, Nie Linyu did not leave the palace for half a step, talking with Fu Wenwu every day, or accompanying Princess Nie to recite Buddhist scriptures, and the life was also fulfilling.
"Princess, county lord, the prince is back and is dismounting at the gate." With the housekeeper's report, the entire Nie Wangfu came to life.
Princess Nie was immediately overjoyed, and she didn't have time to put on her coat, so she only wore a homely silk jacket and went out, "The prince is finally back, why don't you send a letter in advance?" ”
Prince Nie took off the black coat and wrapped the petite Princess Nie from head to toe, "Wear such a thin one, and be careful to catch a cold." ”
Nie Linyu stood under the verandah, smiling at his father and mother showing affection.
