Escape from the desert

Chapter 256 Congrats
The galloping horses were suddenly ordered to stop, they raised their front legs towards the sky, and came to a complete stop after a long howling.

Those on horseback are not ordinary people, but the most respected and feared yamen servants. Everyone looks tall and strong, and they are even more majestic and fierce in their blue and red official uniforms. Even with a scabbard covering it, people are afraid to retreat three feet.

People from the government will not feel happy when someone from the government comes to the door, but will be terrified. Seeing the four yamen servants at this time, the people outside the village can't help murmuring quietly.

"Can this meal continue? Can we still go in and eat?"

"Aunt Jiang's family won't do anything?"

"That's right, after so many years of feasting, this is the first time I see someone from the yamen!"

"Will we be taken away soon..."

While everyone was murmuring, Jiang Yan smiled and led the people behind her to meet her. She glanced up and down, and saw that although the person was approaching aggressively, she was not malicious.

"Several officials, but what's the matter here?"

The leading yamen servant nodded, and saluted Jiang Yan with his fists clasped, his voice loud and clear: "Today is a big day for your family, and I am here to congratulate you under the order of the magistrate of the county. Sorry to Aunt Jiang, my lord has said, I will visit again soon."

Jiang Yan frowned, and the corners of her eyes curled up, as long as she wasn't here to make trouble, but she didn't pass an invitation to the county magistrate, after all, she was just a rural widow, and she thought that her friendship with the county magistrate hadn't reached the point of having a banquet with each other.

"Aunt Jiang, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by the magistrate of the county. Please take a look at it." As soon as the leader of the yamen servant finished speaking, the three people behind each took out a wooden box with a firework wrapped in red silk and satin.

There are a total of four small wooden boxes. Under the attention of everyone, the wooden boxes were opened one by one, and the contents inside were revealed at once. A pair of porcelain white eye-catching vases, a pair of emerald green jade bracelets, and a pair of simple and lovely The last one is a Xiuyu Ruyi handle.

Jiang Yan's eyes fell on those shiny jade wares, and she couldn't help being surprised. She had also contacted Li County Magistrate several times. Li County Magistrate was a good official who cared about the people. He was willing to give her such a valuable thing.

"Thank you for the generous gift from the county magistrate. Several officials have come from afar. Why don't you stay and have lunch with the big guys later."

The leading yamen servant shook his head, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang, but we still have important things to do, so we will leave first."

The yamen servants looked cold and hard, and saluted Jiang Yan respectfully. They were just ordered to give gifts and congratulate them, so they didn't dare to stay for the banquet.

"Since that's the case, I won't force you to keep a few officials. Be careful on the road." Jiang Yan said as she distributed some wedding cakes and candies to several people, and then each of them gave out a red envelope with a small silver in it. slot.

This was taught by Tao Bai. They live under the jurisdiction of Linfang County, and their family is in business. They will interact with the yamen a lot in the future. It is not a bad thing to have a good relationship with these officials now.

The four of them looked at each other, and they all accepted the red envelope tacitly. The leader of the yamen even weighed it quietly. The feeling of rubbing his fingers moved him, and his hard and cold face softened a lot.

"Thank you, Aunt Jiang. You don't need to see him off. I'll leave soon." The yamen servant smiled and led the three of them on their horses with satisfaction.

Although they are yamen servants, they don't get many monthly tributes, and there are quite a few rewards like this. As long as they ask the yamen for something, those with richer families will give some rewards to the relevant yamen servants.

But this kind of thing is not compulsory. You can do your business whether you give it to the county government, but the attitude and speed are not good. Li County Magistrate naturally knows this, but the management of people must be relaxed. Since there is no He can only turn a blind eye to increase the salaries of the yamen servants, so that they can get a little bit of sweetness in other places.

The onlookers were still shocked and astonished, seeing that the servants had all rode away, the big guys dared to approach the place where the ceremony was held, with disbelief on their faces.

"My dear mother! Did I hear correctly just now! A congratulatory gift from the magistrate!"

"That's right! Jade bracelets! This thing is so precious!"

"Heavenly Bodhisattva! How come Dongzi's family is so familiar with the county magistrate? The sum of these things will cost tens of taels or even hundreds of taels."

"I heard from the village chief that the county magistrate knew about the late rice. I guess that's why the county magistrate sent so many congratulatory gifts."

"That should be given away. We have already thought about it. We will grow late rice with Aunt Jiang's family next year. I have bought a lot of late rice from their village. I will wait for next year."

"..."

The curvature of the corners of Jiang Yan’s mouth remained the same. Fortunately, the congratulatory gift from Huafang Building had not been opened, otherwise these people would have been even more shocked. There are many styles, and the value is calculated, roughly thousands of taels.

Lin's old house.

Wang Jinhua lay on the back of her elder brother Wang Dahu. His back was broad and strong, just like when he was married a few years ago.

"Jinhua, I didn't expect that my elder brother would marry you again. The Lin family is getting better now, and my elder brother doesn't have much to say. As long as you are healthy and happy in the future, it will be fine."

Wang Dahu's voice was choked up. It was different from the first time. When he married his younger sister last time, his tears were blurred. But during this period of time, he was working in the Lin family. He saw the newly built mansion and Aunt Jiang who cared about his younger sister. , Wang Dahu didn't worry about anything else.

The younger sister's husband loves her and loves her, and the mother-in-law understands that she cares about her, so he is completely at ease.

Wang Jinhua nodded, touching the red wedding gown made of silk and satin on her body, the little face covered by the hijab was already full of tears, she had never worn such a beautiful wedding gown.

When she married into the Lin family last time, she didn't even bother to pull the red cloth, so she found the latest one among the few clothes she had, "Brother, you have to take good care of our father in the future. You have saved a lot during this time." With less money, buy something during the Chinese New Year, and have a good New Year.”

Wang Dahu nodded vigorously, "Jinhua, don't worry about our father, take good care of yourself, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, you should honor your mother-in-law, take care of your husband and children, and you and I are still at home."

"Brother I know."

The two exchanged a few words with each other, and then Wang Dahu went out with Wang Jinhua on his back. Outside the door, Wang Dachui's family was waiting. As Wang Jinhua's natal family, they were all ready to be married off again.

And because Liu Xiaomeng has no natal family, she was led out by her own friend Liu Xiaodie. There are not many people who have a good time in Liujia Village, and Liu Xiaodie is one of them.
