The eunuchs in the palace were in a hurry, and the clan elders were afraid that the torture of Yuan Xi would be exposed, so they only lied that Yuan Xi lived at a relative's house last night, and now he is going to pick up people at a relative's house quickly. After the eldest duke received the fifty taels of silver tickets presented by the clan elder, he sat in the flower hall with his eyebrows and drank tea.

The clan elder strode into the ancestral hall with a cane: "Three girls, the adults in the palace are waiting for you, what are you still putting here?"

"Clan grandfather, I really don't have the strength? Besides, you see that I have been locked up and locked up for so long, unkempt, do you want me to go to receive the holy decree like this?"

Won-hee leaned against the door, lest anyone outside push the door open. The group of people outside had the strength to break in, and if they let them in, they would grab themselves out of the ancestral hall like chickens.

"This ...... I'll ask someone to bring you bird's nest porridge, and you go to bathe and change your clothes, is this it?" Although the clan elder held his breath in his heart, he could only follow Yuan Xi at this time.

"Grandpa, where is the Liu Guihua who washes clothes in your yard?"

Liu Guihua lowered her eyebrows and followed behind the clan elder, because she had followed the clan elder to rectify Yuanxi, Liu Guihua was highly appreciated by the clan elder. The clan elder made an exception and promoted her from a low-ranking person who washed clothes to a tea maker in the room.

"The old slave is here. Liu Guihua's tone was not as bad as yesterday.

"It's good that you're here. Yuan Xi flashed, gave way to a door, and put Liu Guihua into the ancestral hall. Pointing to the vomit on the ground, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, clean this up." ”

Liu Guihua was stunned.

Yuan Xi smiled: "What are you still doing in a daze? Your fish soup is doing well, but I have to get used to it slowly, don't I?"

Liu Guihua looked left and right, as if there was no such thing as a rag or broom. Yuan Xi pulled her brand new green skirt: "That's it." ”

"Third Miss, this is just rewarded by the clan elder, let the slave maid go and get a rag, right?" Liu Guihua was really reluctant to give up her new dress.

"Oh, then I'll tell my grandmother in a moment that you're abusing me. ”

Liu Guihua tore off her skirt with a stab, and knelt on the ground without hesitation to wipe it.

The old lady asked Ju Xiang to open the door of the ancestral hall, and was very distressed when she saw Yuan Xi's sick and withered appearance in the past few days: "You kid, why is your temper so stubborn, why don't you want your second sister to bring you food?" Look at the torture of good people like this." ”

"I'm fine, grandmother, let's go out. Yuan Xi leaned on the old lady's arms and stepped out of the ancestral hall gate, closed for a few days, I don't know the four seasons outside, I just feel the warm breeze, thinking that the winter is about to pass.

Ling'er hurriedly wrapped Yuanxi in a cloak: "Miss, let's go take a shower and change clothes, the adults in the palace are still waiting in the flower hall." ”

The patriarch had a dark face and didn't say a word.

Won-hee sat down again.

The clan elder sighed: "What kind of genealogy are you putting here? Why don't you go and see the adults in the palace?"

Yuan Xi stroked his sideburns and sighed: "Dazzled, no strength." ”

The clan elder angrily pointed at Yuan Xi with his cane and shouted: "I'll just ask you a question, do you want to accept the holy decree, you don't take me!"

The old lady sneered: "What did the eldest brother say? You didn't hear what the Grand Duke said, the Holy Decree was for Yuan Xi, what is the matter with you going to receive the Holy Decree? Oh, you think you want to take it, and the Grand Duke will give you the Holy Decree?"

The old lady touched Yuan Xi's forehead, a little hot, but it was not serious, and asked with her, "Where is it uncomfortable?"

"Stomach hurt......" Won-hee muttered in a low voice.

The old lady's heart was in a ball, her granddaughter had been clothed and fed since she was a child, and colds and colds were rare, not to mention stomach pain, and she secretly scolded the clan elder several times in her heart.

The clan elder was so anxious that he jumped to his feet: "What's the matter, little ancestor, do you want me to carry you to receive the holy decree?"

Yuan Xi stood up, looked at the subordinates behind the clan elder, and said, "Clan grandfather, what did you say, how dare I ask you to carry it?" I see that there are a few grandmothers behind you who are strong and seem to be able to work, can you bother a few grandmothers to help me cook some soup?"

The clan elder was stunned, usually the juniors should be more respectful when they see the maids and grandmothers in the elders' rooms, but now Yuan Xi directly asked them to do rough work for themselves, where will this put the face of the clan elders?

The old lady also noticed the signs that no one would spare anyone, but she only turned her face away and pretended not to see it.

The clan elder was really afraid of annoying Yuan Xi at this time. If she told the story of the previous days in front of the eunuchs, she would be notorious. Therefore, the clan elder didn't say much, and nodded to a few grandmothers behind him: "You go and boil water for the third lady." ”

The mothers-in-law in the old house of the clan are all strong, and the action of chopping wood and boiling water is very fast. The water doesn't have to be hot, the temperature can be bathed, so after only half a pillar of incense, Wonxi soaked in the bathtub.

Stirred by the hot water, there was a knife pain in his stomach, and Won-hee crouched on the edge of the barrel to endure it.

"Third Miss, this is a newly made dress, change for Third Miss. ”

Ju Xiang brought a new set of clothes from the old lady's room, a pink blouse with a moon-white skirt, which looked delicate and cute.

Yuan Xi asked, "Do you know what will the palace lord preached?"

Ju Xiang shook her head: "The eldest duke didn't say it, I can't say it until you come, Miss." But I see that my father-in-law is smiling, and he is willing to deign to wait for so long, it must be a good thing, and it can't be wrong. ”

Won-hee took a quick and quick bath, changed into the clothes given by the old lady, and entered the flower hall.

When the grand duke saw Yuan Xi, he stood up with a smile: "Oh, you can come, but you can wait for the old slave to die." ”

Yuan Xi raised his head, it turned out to be the one he saw in the palace that day, the grand duke from the fourth grade.

The Grand Duke unfolded the Ming Huang Holy Decree: "Edict: The people's daughter Wei Yuanxi, who is enlightened and reasonable, and filial piety touches the sky." The queen mother was mourned, the whole country mourned, and Wei's Yuanxi presented the original stone of the jade coffin for merit, and he was not rewarded, which was really an act of benevolence and filial piety. I am deeply grateful, and the Te Jang Wei firm, four million taels of silver, is the comprador of the inner government with Wei Dongshu. In addition, his daughter Wei Yuanxi was in Donglinzhou, and enjoyed the county lord Yulu, and admired this. ”

County...... Yuan Xi raised his head in a panic, the holy decree was written clearly, and it could not be wrong.

Seeing Yuan Xi looking at him in a daze, the Grand Duke smiled again: "County Lord, aren't you grateful?"

The thunderbolt on a sunny day made Yuan Xi scorched.

Is the county lord something that everyone can do? He is not the daughter of a prince, nor is he a heroic martyr who sent troops to let his horse go and capture the king of thieves. If you seal a county lord for no reason, don't you roast yourself on the fire?

Yuan Xi shook his head, the current emperor is by no means the kind of person who has a whim. In my previous life, I often heard people say that the example of donating officials is that four million silver can be donated to a county, is the emperor treating himself as a gentleman who donates officials? But even if this is the case, he should canonize his father, and what is it to enclose himself?

"County Lord, Donglin County Lord?" the Grand Duke looked at Yuan Xi with kind eyes.

"Father-in-law...... The emperor's grace is vast, but the people's daughter is from a humble background, and she really doesn't dare to accept the emperor's favor, and she also asks her father-in-law to return to the emperor, and the people's daughter presents the jade rough stone, which is to admire the emperor's benevolence and virtue, and not to ask for officials. Therefore, please ask the emperor to take back his order. ”

"Oops, idiot......"

Yuan Xi clearly heard the clan elder behind him scolding. Yes, of course he hopes that someone from the Wei family can enter the phase and glorify the ancestors. However, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and he can't imagine the treacherous dangers on his career. Even if he thought about it, he didn't care, someone from the Wei family entered the house, and he followed it, and someone in the Wei family lost face, and he fell into the well. All he wants is the face of the elder of his Wei family.

"County Lord, are you happy and confused?" The Grand Duke handed over the holy decree to Yuan Xi and said in a low voice: "The second master and the sixth master have said a lot of good things for the county lord in front of the emperor and queen, don't be mistaken about the county lord." ”

It turned out to be them...... Won-hee felt a familiar crisis.

King Baojun is simple-minded, and he must be bent on rewarding himself before he goes to the good words. As for Xiao Rongzhan, the king of Duanjun, his mind will never be so simple, he will pave the way for himself, and he must have other plans. Yuan Xi thought about it for a moment, and then he roughly understood - Xiao Rongzhan took a fancy to the Wei family's financial resources.

This routine is too familiar, and Xiao Rongshen has already played it badly in his previous life.

Yuan Xi held the holy decree tightly and broke out in a cold sweat.

That's it, this life is for revenge, as long as you can take revenge on Xiao Rongshen, it doesn't matter who you use. Since Xiao Rongzhan wants to use it, let him use it. Isn't that the best outcome of doing business – mutual benefit and win-win.

Yuan Xi bowed down: "Courtier Wei Yuanxi, thank you, long live my emperor, long live long live!" Yuan Xi kowtowed, and the old and young of the Wei family also kowtowed, and the mountain shouted long live.

The grand duke took the fifty taels of silver tickets given by the old lady, and smiled into a ball of golden chrysanthemums on his face: "The slave is rewarded." County Lord, without further ado, this is going to be with the slave to enter the palace to thank you, right?"

......

Liu Tianbao and Wang Heruan recited Amitabha Buddha for a few days in a row, although they didn't get along with this little owner for a long time. But they also know in their hearts that only by doing things under Wei Yuanxi can they be absolutely comfortable, at least she won't care about you stealing refreshments, and she is willing to give a lot of rewards, just rush this, they don't want Xi Yintang to change the dynasty.

Because of the official title of the county lord of Donglin, the clan elder had been hiding from Yuan Xi for several days, and his desire to collect Xi Yintang naturally fell through.

Yuan Xi sat at the counter of Xi Yin Hall, listless, he was cold in the ancestral hall those days, and his stomach was always cold and painful, and he couldn't even eat anything.

Since he was sealed this inexplicable county lord, he hasn't seen Xiao Rongzhan yet, but Yuan Xi really doesn't know what to say when he sees him. He gave him the title and the title of the lord of the county, but if he presented it to thank him, would it be flattering? Sure enough, accompanying the king is the most difficult errand in the world, and no matter what you do, it is wrong.

"Shopkeeper, pawn. ”

Won-hee was frowning, but he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.

A hairpin was slapped on the counter.

This is......

This is obviously the one I handed over to Yuan Yue last time. As soon as Yuan Xi raised his head, Xiao Rongzhan's cold face came into view.

Yuan Xi stood up and came out of the cabinet: "Courtier Wei Yuanxi, knock on Your Highness." ”
