Escape from the desert

suddenly!

"The county magistrate has arrived!"

There was an explosion outside the door, and a group of people slowly walked into the courtyard, surrounded by County Magistrate Li, who was wearing a pipe robe and a pipe cap.

The heavy snow fluttered, and a mighty group of people seemed to be wearing white robes, both solemn and hurried.

People in the pavilion turned their heads one after another, and they saw County Magistrate Li leading the way, followed by two small rows of government servants with knives and villagers who wanted to watch the excitement despite the wind and snow.

County magistrate Li walked quickly into the pavilion, and he looked even more dignified and solemn in his official uniform, his cold face was not angry and majestic.

He patted the snow on his body, and said: "I haven't seen Aunt Jiang for a long time, can you guess what happened to me this time?"

Jiang Yan pursed her lips quietly, and without waiting for County Magistrate Li to continue to trick her, she said bluntly, "Did you send me money?"

"Hahaha! Really temperamental!"

County Magistrate Li laughed a few times, and said excitedly: "However, you really guessed right, this time I will give you money!"

The news of the late rice had reached the imperial city. The emperor was so excited that he held the details written by Jiang Wen and read them several times. Finally, he immediately issued an imperial edict and ordered people to rush on the road overnight. It was only delivered to Linfang County in the past few days.

Not only Aunt Jiang was rewarded, but the county magistrate of his place was even promoted!He was even called into the imperial court by the emperor himself, and he will only take office after the next year!
"This is an adult from Zhizhou. This imperial decree was sent from the imperial city at a fast pace. Everyone must kneel down to listen to the decree."

County Magistrate Li said while looking at the villagers behind him. Although the emperor did not come in person, the imperial decree was like a king's arrival.

As soon as he entered the village, he arranged for someone to go to Village Chief Zhao and call everyone in Cunlin to listen to the order, so as not to let the adults from Zhizhou think that the village under his jurisdiction was not polite.

The villagers came to the Lin family's courtyard one after another. The courtyard was full of people and there were people outside the door. Jiang Yan glanced over and saw that most of them were familiar faces.

The lord who announced the decree coughed, and the rough voice raised his voice: "Everyone kneel down to accept the decree!"

Jiang Yan wondered why she had to call all the people in the village.

Seeing that County Magistrate Li knelt down, she had no choice but to kneel down too. In this cold day, it was fine for the villagers to be pulled out to kneel, and they had to kneel in the heavy snow.

After everyone knelt on the ground in unison, the adult in official uniform opened the exquisite and strict imperial decree and read aloud: "By God's blessing, the emperor's day, Mrs. Jiang in Linjiacun cultivates seedlings and grows late rice It's a great achievement..."

Every sentence in the imperial decree is about praising Jiang Yan and others around this late rice, especially when Jiang Yan heard the reward later, Jiang Yan's eyes glistened...

But the villagers in Linjia Village were not so calm. The whole village was stunned, and many people looked like they had seen a ghost!
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. These ordinary people don't even recognize the emperor's name, let alone the emperor himself.

To them, the Emperor is a high-altitude star and moon, even more mysterious and taller than the star and moon, because they have only heard that this star and moon, they can still look at it when they look up.

The emperor, who only existed in the mouth of the storyteller, actually issued an imperial decree to them now, isn't this equivalent to the emperor talking to them!
In their lifetime, these country diggers, how can they still have a relationship with such a noble person... How can they be so good!

As soon as the imperial decree came to Linjiacun, Lincunzi didn't mention it in one breath. His face flushed with excitement, and he fainted in the snow.

Lin Fangzi, who was kneeling beside him in fright, almost had a myocardial infarction, but he didn't dare to scream in this situation, so he could only imitate the lame doctor in the village and roll his eyes when he pinched the village chief!
Gritting his teeth for the last time, he forcefully slapped his own father several times before he woke up!

When Village Chief Lin woke up, he felt pain on his face and numbness on his lips, but when he heard that the imperial decree was still being read, he could only be grateful for readjusting his posture and knelt down.

Mrs. Jiang came here from time to time, and every time she made a fuss, it was really disgusting and disgusting.

Old Madam Jiang's expression changed unpredictably upon hearing this.

Jiang Yan has a lot of money now. Although she is an unrecognizable merchant, her grandson will definitely be more prosperous when she becomes an official, but now the grandson still needs her...

"Little aunt, I'll take grandma back today, and I promise I won't let grandma come over again in the future."

Jiang Wen said helplessly that he didn't believe that grandma would never trouble her little aunt again, if grandma listened to it, she wouldn't come here this time.

heard.

Mrs. Jiang grabbed Jiang Wen and struggled: "I don't have to come anymore...but you have to give me some money, otherwise how can we survive this winter..."

Jiang Yan didn't speak, but her eyes fell on Jiang Wen.

She has no obligation to support the old wife, let alone give the old rascal a penny, but Jiang Wen is different.

He has accepted their dedication for more than ten years, and it was a family's self-abuse. While they were moved by themselves, they also put layers of shackles on Jiang Wen.

So no matter if Mrs. Jiang and the others are no longer acting as monsters, Jiang Wen still owes them, and his future bears more than just him.

Jiang Wen arched his back in pain, his whole body was surrounded by a sense of powerlessness, and his eyes began to turn red: "Grandma, listen to me, don't come to Linjiacun again in the future, I will give you money to ensure that our family will be well this winter." past."

Ever since Jiang Wen came to Lin's house, whether he did farm work or helped out in the factory, he never asked Jiang Yan for a penny, even if Jiang Yan wanted to give him money.

Jiang Yan knew that he wanted to be strong in his heart, so he kept all the rewards he got before, and only used them as money when he rushed to the exam.

But the monthly silver in the Lin family private school was paid by the village, so he kept it himself.

The old lady was so provoked by Jiang Wen's appearance that her heart ached.

She trembled all over and said, "Grandma has subdued her so much, you still have to go back!"

Jiang Yan: ...

Jiang Yan almost laughed angrily, what kind of logic is this old lady, what identity does she think she has, and her tone is softer, so she has to kneel down and kowtow to cater to her... Laugh to death!
Jiang Wen looked at the little aunt who was rolling her eyes angrily, and said softly: "I want to go back, I will come back to study hard after I settle down at home, and I have to go back and have a look after I have been away from home for such a long time. return."

Seeing this, the old lady wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Wen: "Grandmother! I have made up my mind! If you don't stop, then I don't care if I don't read this book!"

It was rare for Jiang Wen to be tough. He wanted to be gentle and soft-tempered, and he never said harsh words to Mrs. Jiang.

So when she opened her mouth, the old lady was taken aback by her cold and hard attitude, and forgot to speak for a moment.
