Jinghong Tower

He Ran was also drinking, she was drinking wedding wine.

The one who hosted the wedding banquet was Zuo Xiaoai, the one who got married was Heitu, and the new bride was named Li Xianhua, who was the chef in Jinghong Tower in Zhending.

The previous chef at Jinghonglou in Zhending was Li Xianhua’s grandmother, and the previous chef was Li Xianhua’s father.

Old Man Li's frail legs could no longer support his obese body, so Li Xianhua took over the ancestral kitchen knife and officially became the chef of Zhending Jinghonglou.

In Zuo Xiaoai's words, no one knew when the two of them got together.

He Ran was very happy. She had lived for three lifetimes and had drunk countless glasses of wine, but she had never drunk wine at a wedding.

Not many of her sisters who had been through thick and thin with her got married.

The wedding banquet was held in Jinghong Tower. Although Li Xianhua was the chef, she was not the only cook in Jinghong Tower. Today, she only needed to be a dignified bride.

Heitu brought his bride to toast He Ran. Li Xianhua was fair and plump, and standing next to the dark and strong Heitu, they looked a perfect match, black and white, yet they were indescribably well-matched.

He Ran wished them a happy marriage and drank the whole drink.

As soon as the wine entered her stomach, He Ran could taste it. It was Zhou Ying's wine.

Zuo Xiaoai bought Zhou Ying's winery.

Zhou Ying died of illness half a year after returning to Wanchun County and was buried next to her daughter.

Zhong Yi took care of Zhou Ying's funeral. After returning from Wanchun County, Zhong Yi said nothing.

He Ran said to Zuo Xiaoai, "Is the wine I buried when I left still there?"

Zuo Xiaoai smiled and said, "Yes, no one has touched them. I'm keeping them for you."

He Ran: "Let's bury ten more jars. No, bury a little more. You can bury them as you wish. When the world is unified, we can dig them out and drink from them."

Zuo Xiaoai: "Okay, then this wine will be called celebratory wine."

He Ran hadn't been to Zhending for two years. Upon learning that she had arrived in Zhending, the He family sent a representative to ask her to write a plaque for the He Family Ancestral Hall which was under renovation.

He Ran did not refuse and wrote the plaque with a stroke of her brush.

The He family representative thanked them profusely, and He Ran smiled: "Don't worry, this time, if I win, you can hang it up, if I lose, just burn it."

He Ran acted calm and composed, while the He family representative blushed.

After sending away the He family representative, He Ran said to Zuo Xiaoai, "I have made progress. Last time, the He family only gave me a separate page, but in two years, I will be qualified to write a plaque for the ancestral hall."

Zuo Xiaoai snorted coldly: "These so-called relatives are all villains who flatter the weak and bully the powerful."

He Ran smiled: "It's okay, it's quite interesting."

Zuo Xiaoai: "That's because you care about the world and have lofty ambitions. You don't care about these people. If you were an ordinary person, it would be hard to accept."

He Ran was about to say that I am actually an ordinary person, but suddenly she thought of Lan Ruo. She said to Zuo Xiaoai, "Send someone to tell the He family to add the word Lan Ruo to my name in their family tree."

Lan Ruo has no relatives and was trained as a killing tool since childhood. He has no surname and no relatives.

She knew that she was recorded in the family tree, and she might be comforted in her grave.

Zuo Xiaoai immediately asked someone to do it. The He family representative had just returned to the clan and repeated everything He Ran said word for word.

The elders of the He family looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

They asked He Ran to be included in the family tree, and today they asked He Ran to write an inscription for the ancestral hall. In fact, it was a hint that He Ran could be enshrined in the He family ancestral hall a hundred years later.

Not only the He family, but no other daughter in the world can have this honor.

The elders of the He family thought they were full of sincerity, but He Ran's words, which were neither light nor heavy, slapped them hard in the face.

They have no family ties with He Ran, they just want to take advantage of her.

At this moment, the person sent by He Ran arrived and asked the He family to add Lan Ruo to He Ran's name in the family tree.

The He family members nodded and agreed repeatedly.

After sending the person away, the He family breathed a sigh of relief. He Ran still had requests from the He family, which proved that He Ran still more or less recognized her mother's family.

"So the name of the headmaster He is Lanruo."

"It's a good name, but it's a little lonely. Why did you choose these two words?"

So in the He family genealogy, on the page opened for He Ran, it was written like this: He Ran, with the courtesy name Lanruo.

After He Ran reunited with He Xiulong, they left Zhending and marched south.

In addition to being a military stronghold, Zhending is also a special place for He Ran.

Although she was rescued from the Yellow River by Hei Mei, she walked out of Zhending and headed towards the vast world.

The same is true for the people of Zhending. In their eyes, Mr. He is a native of Zhending.

On the day of leaving the city, the people of Zhending spontaneously came to the outside of the city to see him off. As He Ran urged his horse past, the people shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the great master for his triumphant return!"

He Ran turned his horse around, waved to the people, and said with a smile: "Okay, when I return triumphantly, let's all go to Jinghong Tower to have a celebratory drink together!"

He Ran and He Xiulong received the news of Min Lan's death on the way.

He Ran was stunned for a moment. Min Lan, this indestructible cockroach, actually died?
Which slippers are so awesome?

No need to guess, it must be the new emperor, that rotten shoe.

He Ran felt that this good news must be heard by the whole world.

However, the new emperor will definitely take advantage of Minlan's death, pretending to be a filial son and gaining sympathy for himself.

Don't underestimate this kind of sympathy. It can not only raise military funds, but also win the hearts of the people.

He Ran doesn't want to let the kindness of the people go to waste.

Some things need to be discussed.

"Xiao Li, I told you to write."

Xiaoli fetched paper and pen, and He Ran said, "Taizu's uncle was named Zhou Tong."

The past between Zhou Tong and Madam Di was just a rumor, and He Jinghong did not verify it at that time.

He Ran thought about it and said to Xiao Li, "Cross out this sentence and rewrite it."

Don't talk about things that you haven't verified.

"Taizu had a brother named Zhou Wen, who was greedy and lustful, and Taizu despised him."

As He Ran talked, Xiaoli took notes. When she finished, she showed it to He Ran. He Ran smiled and said, "Send it to the capital and let He Yamin and the others polish it."

Xiaoli turned around and was about to leave, but He Ran stopped her again: "Let them finish writing and show it to Zhongyi."

Head of the He family has always been a very particular person. As for people and matters related to the Zhou royal family, she would either give full authority to Zhong Yi, or, as she is doing now, let Zhong Yi review them.

The news received by He Ran was much later than that received by Zhong Yi, a member of the Imperial Guard. Therefore, when the story was sent to the capital, He Yamin invited Bai Yan after reading it. Bai Yan was shocked after reading it, and then he was like a chicken with blood injected. In less than half an hour, he wrote an article that was enough to shock the world.

He Yamin did not delay and personally delivered the article to the Jinyiwei and handed it to Zhong Yi in person.

"According to the order of the great master, this article needs to be reviewed by Commander Zhong." Zhong Yi: "Is it the morning paper or the evening paper?"

He Yamin: "It will be published in the evening paper for the time being."

Zhong Yi frowned. His last impression of the evening paper was the big news from three days ago, in which a woman went to Jingzhao Yin and asked for a divorce from her husband and a severance of ties with her natal family.

The reason for the divorce was that the husband had an affair with her stepmother, that is, her mother-in-law, and gave birth to her brother-in-law. The girl's father knew about this, but considering that the child was a boy, he not only condoned it, but also blamed his daughter for being ignorant.

The girl was the only daughter in the family, and her husband was not a son-in-law. Her father was eager to have a child, and even though he knew that the youngest son was his son-in-law's, he still acknowledged him in order to continue the family line.

So the daughter took the case to court in anger, not giving either her natal family or her husband's family any face. Once this incident came out, it caused a sensation in the capital.

Although the article in the evening paper used a pseudonym, everyone knew who the story was about.

This issue of the evening paper was sold out in less than two hours. Zhong Yi saw it from the owner of the breakfast shop.

He didn't know what to say.

Now He Yamin showed him the article which was also to be published in the evening paper, and Zhong Yi immediately thought of the absurd divorce case.

I really don't understand why He Ran wanted him to see these.

But since He Ran asked him to review it, he had no choice but to review it.

He took it and read ten lines at a glance, and was instantly petrified.

He said to He Yamin, "Master He, please go back first. I will have someone send it to you after reading it."

No civil or military official who is mentally normal likes to deal with Zhong Yi.

As an outstanding female official with all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic qualities, He Yamin did not even think of taking a second look at Zhong Yi.

If He Ran hadn't given the order, He Yamin would never want to set foot in the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Now Zhongyi asked her to go back first, which was what she wanted most.

But Zhong Yi seemed to be worried that He Yamin didn't leave thoroughly enough, so he sent two people to send He Yamin back.

He Yamin's home is also a newspaper office and a studio.

As soon as she got back, she saw Bai Yan and a group of people waiting for her.

Everyone is looking forward to today's explosive news, especially Bo Yan. He is fully responsible for everything related to exposing the new emperor.

"How is it? Can we typeset it now?" Bai Yan asked.

He Yamin shook her head: "Commander Zhong hasn't finished reading it yet, we have to wait for his reply."

Everyone was helpless. Why did the boss let Zhong Yi take a look? Would the Jinyiwei take over the morning and evening papers in the future?
Everyone talked at once and expressed their concerns.

These people in the studio are either good at writing or painting. In He Ran's words, they are all literary young people.

The young artists were both sensitive and naive. They were all very worried that they would be trapped in the white terror of the Imperial Guards and would no longer be able to create freely.

He Yamin quickly comforted everyone: "Don't worry, the boss won't do that. It may just be because today's article is special, so Commander Zhong was asked to check it."

Having said that, everyone is still worried.

This is obviously a big hit that will play a huge role in the upcoming war, and it must not be delayed by Zhong Yi.

Although He Yamin looked relaxed, she was worried in her heart.

Fortunately, their worries were only short-lived. Two hours later, He Mingyue arrived.

For the well-informed people of Beijing, He Mingyue is a magical place.

Li Jinxiu was still alive, so the people of the capital were not new to the female general. They had known since childhood that the loyal and brave wife of the Marquis of Wu'an was a female general.

I have heard of female generals and female officials, but this is the first time I have seen a female Jinyiwei.

When He Mingyue, wearing a Feiyu suit and an embroidered spring sword on her waist, appeared on the streets of the capital, the people of the capital were all shocked.

There is a female pacifier in the Jinyiwei, and she is so young, so beautiful, and so fierce.

As a result, He Mingyue quickly became a household name.

Even He Ran had not expected that there was a restaurant in the capital where, after having a full meal, they had nothing to do and created a list of female heroes modeled after the world's most powerful list.

On the list of female heroes, He Ran ranked first, Li Jinxiu ranked second, He Xiulong ranked third, and the fourth was He Mingyue.

Because of this, He Mingyue was so scared that she didn't dare to go to crowded places.

The young girl is new and still very thin-skinned.

Therefore, He Mingyue is now a celebrity.

Before she even gave her name, the doorman shouted to the messenger, "Hurry up and tell them that Master He Mingyue is here."

There is no other way. There are too many Lord Hes. All those with the surname He must be named with their full name, otherwise it will be impossible to tell which Lord He it is.

He Mingyue was already feeling overwhelmed before she even entered.

She actually didn't want to come because she knew that the people who published the morning and evening papers were all educated people, while she was just a rough person.

She took up martial arts because she was not good at studying.

What she feared most was dealing with scholars.

Therefore, when she saw He Yamin, He Mingyue just wanted to leave quickly, so she handed over the roll of paper in her hand.

"Our envoy asked me to send this over, and told me that you don't need to make any more changes. Make the plates right away and print it overnight. It should be published not only in the evening paper, but also in the morning paper."

There was another sentence that He Mingyue didn't say.

Zhong Yi said: ".Let them print it out right away before I change my mind."

As a member of the Imperial Guard, Zhong Yi's orders were like imperial decrees. In He Mingyue's opinion, Zhong Yi's words were as good as gold and he never changed them.

She couldn't understand why Commander Zhong said this this time.

She didn't know what was written on the paper, and she didn't dare to peek, but she was very curious.

He Mingyue has already decided that she will rush to grab the morning and evening papers early tomorrow morning. Ever since the letter to the whole nation was published, every issue of the morning and evening papers has become a hot commodity. If you act too late, you won't be able to grab them at all, not to mention that the previous issue had published that miraculous divorce case.

He Mingyue came and left quickly. She felt suffocated by a place filled with so many scholars. The imperial prison was more suitable for her.

As soon as He Mingyue left, He Yamin couldn't wait to unfold the roll of paper. She wanted to see how Zhongyi had revised the article.

However, He Yamin never expected that although the original article was a big melon, the article sent by Zhong Yi now put her in the melon field.

He Yamin finished reading it in one breath, rubbed her eyes, and quickly called Bai Yan.

After reading it, Bai Yan opened his mouth wide enough to fit a melon in.

"This, this, can this really be published? The current headmaster is the descendant of the former headmaster He. She is also a relative of Taizu, right?"

He Yamin: "What kind of relatives? They don't count. We are not related by blood."

Bo Yan's heart was pounding. Can I really write this? (End of this chapter)
