In the early morning, a burst of firecrackers crackled in front of the Wei Mansion. The surrounding neighbors have long been in a group, and they all got up early in the morning to look at the jade rough stones that are rare to see in ancient times.

The jade rough stone had already been loaded on the cart, and the four big horses marched in unison, followed by six men on the left and right. In front of them were the officers and soldiers sent by Lan Chengjie, and behind them were the soldiers of the Baojun Palace. Cheng Yong stepped on the horse, and Yuan Xi slowly got into the car. Listening to Lan Chengjie's officers and soldiers, the car drove slowly forward.

The old lady was full of sorrow, but she had a smile on her face. Aunt Yu bit her lip and was full of worry.

Yuan Yue Wenran supported her: "Auntie, don't worry, the eldest brother and the third sister will do the errand." ”

The cold wind in winter pierced in from both sides of the sedan curtain, blowing through people's clothes. I don't know how long it took for the car to stop outside the door of the Inner Government Office. Yuan Xi got off the sedan chair, and Cheng Yong jumped off the horse and followed Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi saw a fat old man standing in front of him with floating dust in his hand, wearing an official eunuch costume from the fourth grade, and he was busy bowing down, holding Xiao Rongzhan's warrant in both hands: "Minnu Wei Yuanxi, under the warrant of the king of Duanjun, come to hand over the goods." ”

The palace people in the office had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw such a large jade rough stone, their eyes widened. Even the leading one of the eldest fathers from the fourth rank was stunned: "Our family has lived for most of our lives, and it is the first time we have seen such a big jade!"

Yuan Xi kowtowed: "Father-in-law Xie raises love, and it is an honor for the whole family of the people to be able to enter the eyes of the father-in-law." ”

The Grand Duke was amused by Yuan Xi: "This girl is very good at talking, yo, how many times have you entered the palace?"

Yuan Xi lowered his head and said: "Back to the grand duke's words, the first time the folk girl entered the palace, I don't know the depth, and I hope that the father-in-law will mention more." ”

The Grand Duke covered his mouth and smiled at the craftsman beside him: "Don't say it, it's really rare to be able to understand the rules so well when you enter the palace for the first time." ”

The craftsman beside him was also an old man in the palace, and he bowed down and said, "Back to my father-in-law, I heard that this woman was appointed by Prince Duan to enter the palace on an errand." ”

This father-in-law was originally sent by Xiao Rongzhan, so why should others explain the inside story. Despite this, he still had to make an incredible look on his face: "No wonder, Duanjun Wang, his old man has a good vision, and his old man will not be wrong in choosing talents." Okay, don't fight haha, you quickly unload the goods and make a register. ”

The father-in-law from the fourth rank commanded, and the craftsmen who built the car stepped forward to unload the truck. The father-in-law took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, there were forty of them: "This is four million taels of silver tickets, you can order them." ”

As soon as Yuan Xi raised his head, the four million taels of silver tickets were in front of him. The great work was about to be completed, Cheng Yong held back a smile behind him, it turned out that entering the palace was such a simple thing.

Yuan Xi bowed down and kowtowed: "There is a father-in-law Lao who returns to the prince, and the people can't accept this silver ticket." ”

The Grand Duke was stunned again, even more surprised than when he saw the jade rough stone: "Wei Yuanxi, what do you mean by this?"

"Back to my father-in-law, this jade rough stone was purchased for the queen mother, and it was the emperor's heart for the queen mother. The emperor's great filial piety should be an example for the world. The queen mother is the mother of the emperor, the emperor is the father of the world, the queen mother is the ancestor of the world, the world should be filial piety to the queen mother, and the people offer jade, that is, for the queen mother, you can't collect silver taels, otherwise it is unfilial piety to the queen mother. I hope that my father-in-law will be perfected. ”

The eldest duke was flustered for a while, and his hands trembled: "Okay, you girl who doesn't know life and death, just now you praised you for knowing the rules, and you actually said such arrogant words?

Cheng Yong was shocked, and it was too late to make amends, so he could only kneel on the ground and ask his father-in-law to spare his life.

In fact, the eldest duke also encountered such a thing for the first time, and he was not only dealing with it, but could only accept the silver ticket: "You, you just kneel here and wait for the prince to give you sin!"

......

"Did she really say that?" Xiao Rongzhan raised his eyebrows.

"It's true, lord, how can you say that this girl is so bold and dares to say such arrogant words. And it was said so loudly that the minions couldn't make up if they wanted to. The eldest duke knelt in front of Xiao Rongzhan and kowtowed: "Lord Wang, this is not about the little slave." ”

The eldest duke only felt that the yin wind was gusting, and even the blood was cold, as the saying goes, the king is like a tiger, and the king and the king are playing with their heads, and if they are not careful, their lives will not be guaranteed.

Xiao Rongzhan actually smiled.

"You get up, go and tell her again, her filial piety, this king has taken it for the queen mother, tell her to go home." ”

The Grand Duke saw that Xiao Rongzhan was not angry, so he put his heart back in his stomach, and his little fate was saved. When he returned to Yuan Xi, his waist was also stiff: "King Duanjun's dictation: Your filial piety, this king has received it for the Queen Mother, you can go home." The dictation is over. ”

Cheng Yong breathed a sigh of relief and came up to support Yuanxi. Yuan Xi didn't panic much, his life was picked up, and it didn't hurt to die again.

Cheng Yong was still nagging behind him: "Third sister, why are you so confused, how are you going to explain to your father now, even if your father and grandmother understand you, the clan elder will not easily spare you." ”

Yuan Xi turned his head suddenly: "Big brother, don't say it, let me be quiet." ”

There are still hundreds of neighbors in front of the Wei Mansion, all waiting for Yuan Xi and Cheng Yong. Anyway, the two of them came out of the palace, and the neighbors also wanted to follow the dragon's spirit. Seeing that Yuan Xi and Cheng Yong came back empty-handed, the patriarch's face became extremely gloomy in an instant.

Yuan Xi knelt down and said, "Father, my daughter is back." The daughter was ordered by the prince to hand over the goods in the inner house, and the handover has now been completed. The daughter thought to herself that this was to fulfill her filial piety to the queen mother, and she should not receive money, so her daughter did not receive the four million taels of silver rewarded by the inner government. The prince told him to go back to the house first. ”

Wei Dongshu could vaguely feel that several pairs of sharp eyes had stared behind him, and the people surrounding the door were also talking to each other. Wei Dongshu said loudly: "Well done! My son is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat, and it is a great filial piety! Filial piety for the queen mother is loyalty, not taking property is Mingde, and returning to report to his parents is reasonable." Well done! Firecrackers, take the third young lady back home!"

As soon as the firecrackers went off, the atmosphere became warm again, and the people just came to see the excitement. It doesn't matter the rights and wrongs of other families, just follow along with the talk.

Straight into the inner courtyard of the Wei Mansion, the clan elder turned his head: "You ruined brute, don't kneel down for me!"

Won-hee stood coldly and didn't move.

Seeing that Yuan Xi did not move, the clan elder became more and more angry: "You brute, your father, your grandfather and I, have worked hard to save this family business, is it just for you to be such a loser today!

Yuan Jia also said: "Third sister, do you see how angry you have made the old grandfather of the clan, why don't you kneel down quickly?"

Yuan Xi grinned at her: "Eldest sister, what I am wearing is given by the prince of Duanjun, and it is a palace dress made by the Ouchi Emperor, you want me to wear this dress to kneel down to the old grandfather of the clan, you are not afraid of breaking the blessing of the old grandfather of the clan?"

"You?!" the clan coughed angrily: "I'll kill you conscienceless thing!"

The clan elder picked up his crutches and was about to beat, Wei Dongshu hurriedly hugged the clan elder: "Clan elder, you can't beat it, Yuanxi is wearing the palace clothes given by the prince himself, if you beat her now, it is equivalent to beating the prince, but you can't help it!"

The old lady hugged Yuan Xi: "You stupid boy, how can you give such a big jade raw stone to people, the inner government said that it was four million taels, why don't you want it?"

Cheng Yong also came up to stop the clan elder: "Clan grandfather, Cheng Yong is not good, it is Cheng Yong who did not persuade the third sister, the third sister is still young, if you want to fight, just beat Cheng Yong!"

"You wicked obstacles, are you going to be angry with me one by one?" The clan elder pointed at Wei Dongshu and scolded: "In the past, you stopped her as soon as I taught her, but now that she has done such a bad thing, do you still want to stop her?"

Wei Dongshu consciously took care of the loss, and his hand was loosened, and the clan elder shouted: "Lock this thing that doesn't know death for me in the ancestral hall, let her go to the ancestors and ancestors, and let the ancestors and ancestors see what she is!"

Yuan Xi's eyes lit up: "Clan grandfather, my niece and granddaughter are filial piety to the Queen Mother for the Wei family, you say that I don't know death, this is too much, right?"

A sentence choked the clan elder, and the clan elder slammed his crutches: "Say it again! There is a kind of you who go to the government to sue me, saying that I don't know how to die, you go and sue me! Aren't you the goddaughter of Lord Lan? Who knows what you relied on to become a goddaughter, you little vixen, you dare to play music with me!"

"Big brother!" the old lady said angrily: "It's too disrespectful to say that a junior is so old!"

You Shi hurriedly pulled Yuan Xi and said, "My third miss, go quickly, don't make your old grandfather angry again." ”

Yuan Xi shook off You Shi's hand and stared at her for a while: "Aunt You, are you satisfied with the result I have now?"

Two stout mothers-in-law pushed Won-hee into the ancestral hall.

You Shi was still in place, Yuan Jia stepped forward to support his mother, and said in a low voice: "Mother, don't be angry. ”

"Angry, I'm not angry, she's already a dying person, what should I be angry with her?" You Shi hid his smile, only made a look of compassion, and said to the clan elder: "The third lady is really too disproportionate this time, don't be angry, watch out for your body." ”

The clan elder still hated it: "Hunger me for three days with this little evil obstacle, and no one is allowed to send her food and drink." Especially you, don't think I don't know about the last time you delivered snacks!"

Yuan Yue's body shook and she lowered her head and hid behind the old lady.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late," Aunt Zheng rubbed her eyes and stood in front of everyone in a cowardly manner, seeing everyone's eyes wide with anger, she was a little overwhelmed for a while: "What's going on?"

"Master, what's the matter?" Aunt Zheng grabbed Wei Dongshu's hand, Wei Dongshu was indignant, and pushed Aunt Zheng aside: "Don't give me a fake, get out!"

He got out of here, and didn't drink Aunt Zheng away, but drank Aunt You's Yuan Jia Chengzhen away. Aunt Yu and Yuan Yue helped the old lady back to the room to rest. The clan elder was furious, and staggered away with his cane.

Wei Dongshu flicked his sleeves and walked away, leaving only Aunt Zheng standing inexplicably: "Who did I recruit to provoke me?"
