Group pet small peasant girls: Escape the famine with the space of merit

Chapter 143 Double Happiness
142
Half a month later, it was suddenly reported that there were iron mines on the "ghost mountain" in Taizhou city, and the news spread to several nearby cities overnight.

Shan Sili, the prefect of Taizhou, was a little panicked, and was furious in the back hall of the government office: "What's going on? How did this kind of thing get out?!"

Their people watch closely, no one can get close to the "ghost mountain", why is such a secret thing spread like this?

The two staff members around Shan Sili and several other subordinates were too frightened to speak out.

"Investigate, let me investigate!" Shan Sili was so angry that he swept the teacup on the table to the ground: "Whoever spreads rumors will be shot!"

"My lord, you can't do it!" A staff member bit the bullet and said to stop: "Now it's not only Taizhou that is spreading the news, Lianzhou, Zhongzhou and other places are spreading it. Your lord will only make the matter worse!"

If you do this, isn't there no silver 300 taels here?

My lord is so confused!

"Then what do you say now?!" Shan Sili roared angrily.

The aide said: "My lord, the most urgent task right now is to quickly transport away the weapons made on the mountain and find a place to hide them."

"When this matter spreads to the imperial city, the imperial court may send people down to check it." Another staff member added: "We must erase all traces on the mountain as soon as possible and do other follow-up work, so that people from the imperial city will not be suspicious. "

"My lord, we have to report this matter to the master as soon as possible, so that we won't be too passive." The staff reminded again.

Shan Sili's face turns blue and white.

Of course he knew what the consequences would be if the court found out about this matter!
"My lord, there is still time, everything is still in time!" Seeing that Shan Sili had lost his balance, the staff couldn't help sighing secretly.

In the past, they all thought that this single thought was a character, ruthless and decisive enough, but now it seems that it is actually not worthwhile.

Shan Sili didn't dare to delay, obeyed the advice of his staff, and immediately wrote a secret letter to his master.

What he didn't know was that the secret letter finally fell into the hands of the crown prince.

The prince presented this secret letter to the emperor, and the emperor was not very angry after reading it, as if he had expected it long ago.

The next day when he went to court, the emperor directly appointed Prince Shao Fu Gaojin as an imperial envoy to go to Taizhou to investigate the "Ghost Mountain" iron mine.

Because the emperor didn't reveal any news before, the prince and Gao Jin stayed for a while after listening to the imperial decree.

They had negotiated before, and they planned to stay out of this matter and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but they didn't expect to be put together by the emperor.

Gao Jin can only accept the order to thank you.

The prince frowned slightly.

At the same time Gao Jin received the decree and left Beijing, the palace examination also began.

To everyone's surprise, none of the top ten high school students performed well in the palace examination this time, and none of them made it into the top three. However, Luo Yannian, who was originally ranked No. 20, was appointed by the emperor as Tanhuaying and was given a marriage. .

The girl who gave the marriage was none other than Cheng Min, the second daughter of his Master Cheng University.

Luo Yannian returned to the inn in a trance with the decree of bestowing marriage, and listened to the congratulations from the people around him in a trance, his whole heart was cold.

Marriage!

Hehe, the emperor actually gave him a marriage!
Luo Yannian wished to tear up the imperial decree in his hand that was envied and hated by countless people!

But he can't!
He can't harm his family, he can't harm his cousin!
Several Juren entered the room with him, sitting in the room chattering, more excited than Luo Yannian.

Luo Yannian only felt that they were noisy.

"Several virtuous brothers, I want to be quiet."

Luo Yannian spoke hoarsely.

The few people who were talking lively stopped their words suddenly, and looked at each other, not sure if they said something that annoyed Luo Yannian just now?

"Masters, my son is overjoyed, he thinks he is dreaming." Tang Liang couldn't understand Luo Yannian's thoughts very clearly, and smoothed things over for him with a smile: "Masters, wait for my son to recover, and I will definitely invite you later. Several masters were drinking."

Several people were happy after hearing Tang Liang's words. They understood Luo Yannian's mood at this time.

They were all so excited, let alone him as the client, looking at him, he really seemed to be sleepwalking.

"Brother Luo, then take a good rest, let's meet again later!"

After the few people left, Tang Liang went downstairs to fetch a jar of wine and some side dishes in a very considerate manner: "My lord, no matter what is on your mind, you can't think about those things after tonight."

Tang Liang said to fill him up the wine.

yes~~
Luo Yannian smiled wryly.

The moment this decree came down, he had already lost his qualifications!

Luo Yannian suddenly poured the wine into his mouth.

Tang Liang filled him up again.

Luo Yannian drank three cups in a row, and Tang Liang wanted to drink more, but Luo Yannian stopped him: "Three cups are enough!"

Things are already like this, since it cannot be changed, he can only accept it.

If he was drunk and misunderstood, it was enough for him to suffer alone, and he could no longer implicate others.

When Luo Yannian came out of the room the next day, Yang Ju and the others felt that Luo Yannian seemed to be a different person, as if he had been reborn.

But it's true, he is Tanhualang now, and he is also the future son-in-law of Cheng Dashi, and he will be someone they should look up to in the future.

It was already May when Xinqing'ao Village received the good news from the imperial city.

Old Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Lu knew that Luo Yannian had not only been in high school, but had also become a prostitute, and wept with joy. Luo Ping also choked up and thanked the officials who announced the good news, and offered rewards.

Luo also wiped away tears of joy, and helped her brother and sister-in-law greet the officials to come into the house for tea.

But when the official told them that the Luo family had double happiness and that Luo Yannian would marry the second daughter of Cheng University scholar early next year, Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Lu were too shocked to speak.

Luo Shi was also dumbfounded.

Originally, the two families agreed that when Luo Yannian came back from the imperial city, they would settle the marriage for him and Nuannuan!

Yannian was given a marriage by the emperor, what can Nuan Nuan do?
But Wen Nuan, the person involved, didn't know why everyone suddenly stopped talking, and he still had a look of hell, fearing that the officials who announced the good news would be unhappy, so he hurriedly asked Lianqiu to go home and bring a few jars of wine for them to taste.

The officer received the warm love, and kindly reminded: "It was found in the imperial city that Luo Tanhua has not yet married a wife."

Even if there was any discrepancy, at this point, the emperor's imperial decree of bestowing marriage had been issued, and in order to save the emperor's face, this matter could only be concealed.

However, it is impossible for officials to say the following words, which will cause trouble for themselves.

"Brother send, don't worry, my cousin hasn't married a wife yet, and the marriage has not yet been settled." Wen Nuan said and asked about the second Miss Cheng for her grandmother, uncle and aunt: "The two elder brothers came from the imperial city. Come here, how about the character of that Second Miss Cheng?"

"If the girl asks other boudoir girls, we may not be able to return you, but we really know this second girl Cheng, because this second girl Cheng is a well-known filial and virtuous lady in the imperial city!"
