Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 509 The decree arrives

What he said was really refreshing, seeing the third lady's constantly changing expression, someone couldn't help laughing so much that they covered their face with a veil.

The third lady didn't get the benefits, and she felt embarrassed and humiliated. She was very annoyed and finally turned her face completely.

"Huh, if you don't give it, you won't give it. Our family really lacks a set of gems! Don't be complacent, the old five. Your daughter follows those rebellious parties. Maybe the new emperor will charge you one day. The whole family is exiled!"

Mrs. Dong Wu raised her eyebrows in classical Chinese, and scolded, "What did the third sister-in-law say? Isn't your surname Dong?"

The third lady choked for a moment, feeling that she had made a slip of the tongue, and when she wanted to turn things around but didn't know what to do, she heard that the front yard suddenly fell silent.Someone shouted loudly, "The imperial decree has arrived!"

Those three words were like three thunderbolts, causing chaos in the front and back yards.

The fifth lady's face was pale, and she didn't recover for a while.

My daughter came back from the island with a birthday gift, and the new emperor sent an imperial edict to their house, a fourth-rank official.Even a fool would not think that the emperor's decree was to celebrate his birthday, and it was 100% a crime!
Although the rest of the female relatives looked a little bad, they didn't say anything, but Mrs. Dong San finally grabbed the weapon to fight back, and shouted loudly, "Oh, I said that the big girl will cause trouble at home, you still don't believe it, now Well, the imperial decree has come, your whole family will not be able to escape into exile, I am afraid that we will suffer along with it..."

"Shut up!" The fifth lady came back to her senses, she was completely annoyed when she heard these words, she yelled loudly, the hatred in her eyes made the third lady shrink her neck subconsciously.

"If you dare to say one more word, don't blame me for not saving you face and kicking you out!"

Mrs. Dong San moved her mouth in dissatisfaction, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Caixia, help me to the front yard to receive the order!"

Under the imperial decree, the whole family knelt down to receive him. This is a courtesy, and they would almost be accused of being disrespectful.

In the front yard, the banquet had just begun, and he was a little caught off guard when someone from the palace suddenly came to make an order.

Long ago, the housekeeper led people to arrange a few cases and the incense burner in an emergency. Mr. Dong Wu had already kneeled down with his son with a pale face, and the fifth wife and his daughter also knelt down behind the two of them.The family of four is very close, but they all hold their hearts high, and their whole body is very cold.

Although the rest of the guests had nothing to do with it, they all knelt aside. At this time, the imperial power fully demonstrated its might.

Qin Quan scanned around, nodded in satisfaction, and then unfolded the bright yellow brocade edict, and began to recite it aloud.

He was not a eunuch, so his voice would not be shrill, but it pierced everyone's ears.

Until he closed the imperial decree and handed it over to Master Dong Wu, everyone still hadn't recovered.

There was no imaginary exile, no crime, no punishment, the emperor's decree was actually to congratulate a small fourth-rank official on his birthday, and even rewarded him with a generous gift.This is simply the first time I have heard of a miracle in hundreds of years!
What is the virtue and ability of the fifth house of the Dong family?The fourth-rank official can't say how important Yu Jiangshan and the country are, and the family even married a daughter to the Ding family. Doesn't the emperor care about it?

Mr. Dong Wu and Mrs. Wu are even more confused, but this is always a good thing, and it can even be said to be a surprise after a big ups and downs.

Master Dong Wu hurriedly pulled the mutton fat jade tablet on his waist and wanted to stuff it into Qin Quan's hand, but Qin Quan refused to accept it, and pulled him aside with a smile and said a few words.

Master Dong Wu's expression became more and more strange as he listened, and then he called the fifth lady to give some instructions in a low voice. The fifth lady's expression became even weirder, and she went back to the backyard in person, and soon came out with a carved box.

Qin Quan took it, said goodbye with a smile on his face and went back.

In the entire courtyard, there were a hundred or ten people, all of whom were plunged into deep suspicion by the strange interaction between the two parties.

Director Qin asked what kind of things he wanted from Dong's house, and seeing Mrs. Dong's expression, he seemed to be a little bit reluctant.Could it be that the new emperor took a fancy to the second daughter of the Dong family?
Various speculations, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, burst out of the hearts of everyone in an instant...

The Dong family offered up the birthday gifts, including the imperial decree.The banquet that was interrupted before was finally able to continue.But everyone was not in the mood to eat and drink. Some people asked a few questions based on their acquaintance, but Mr. Dong Wu responded vaguely, which made everyone really want to pinch his neck and tell the answer.

It's a pity, can you lift him upside down by choking his neck?No, so everyone can only let the kitten in their hearts scratch them again and again.

On the contrary, Fang Xin, who became the chairman, guessed a little bit, and quietly exchanged glances with Master Dong Wu, and he also sighed in his heart.

Everyone has their own suffering, and that person finally found his blood and roots.But at the same time as gaining, something must be lost, and what is lost is always the most precious.

In such a cycle, no one can tell whether it is worth it or not, who is right and who is wrong...

At the climax of the moon, the Dong family's birthday banquet finally dispersed.

The Dong family sent the guests back, and the family of four sat together, speechless for the birthday gifts brought by the elder girl.

Four boxes, three of which are full.The only thing is the fourth box for food, which is empty.There was originally a box of mooncakes, mooncakes baked on Taoyuan Island.

Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival had already passed, and moon cakes were not novelty snacks. Mrs. Dong sent them to reassure her parents, thinking that they would be happy knowing that life on the island was the same as at home.

Unexpectedly, the emperor specially issued an order to celebrate his birthday, and even asked for this box of mooncakes as a return gift.This is a bit weird...

"Master, what do you mean by the man in the palace?"

Mrs. Dong couldn't hold back her breath, she asked the question first.Master Dong Wu frowned and shook his head, and said after a long while, "I can't figure it out, but seeing that the guy who took the position of the general didn't have any malice towards the Ding family. He took a little bit of protection today, I think we should also no need to worry."

Mrs. Dong nodded, but still persuaded, "Why don't you go to the mansion and ask Mr. Ge for advice?"

Master Dong Wu also had this idea, so he said, "Then you take some of the things Wan'er sent back, and I will take them together."

"it is good."

Mrs. Dong agreed, looked up at her son and girl with anxious faces, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, just take some food and send it. Your things won't be touched. It was sent by your eldest sister all the way. Mother also feels distressed when she comes back."

"Thank you mother." Miss Dong Er and the eldest son both laughed, got up and saluted their parents, and went back to their rooms.

Not to mention how master Dong Wu went to the mansion to ask for advice, but only said that the palace gate was locked when the sky darkened.Teams of guards were armed to the teeth and patrolled inside and outside the imperial city. Anyone who approached without reason would be immediately shot into an arrow target if they answered incorrectly.

Therefore, birds are almost forbidden in front of the palace gate, and even the autumn wind is unwilling to blow.But some people don't believe in this evil. Seeing the moon rising in the sky, a carriage comes from afar.

Seeing that the chariots and horses were not so gorgeous, all the guards couldn't help guessing whether it was some censor who was afraid that he would not be able to make it in time for the early court, so he came over and waited to open the palace gate.But calculating the time, there are at least four more hours left, which is too early.

Fortunately, the owner of the carriage didn't let them waste their brain cells.The door of the carriage opened quickly, and a young man in a sapphire blue gown jumped down. It was Fang Xin who had just come out of the Dong family's birthday banquet.

The guards guarding the palace gate are all human beings, how could they not know the prime minister?
A little leader had already run forward to salute, "Mr. Fang, you are here so late, are you doing something?"

Fang Xin returned the salute with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Exactly, I have something to ask to see the emperor, please let me know."

"Uh..." The guard was a little embarrassed. After all, the gate of the palace was long-winded, and there was no urgent military situation. This has been a rule passed down for hundreds of years.Today, you can't break the rules just because of a word from the prime minister, right?But if you don't help spread the word, it seems to offend people, and you don't know what to do for a while.

Fang Xin naturally knew this, raised his hand and stuffed a few gold beads into the leader of the little head, and said with a smile, "I know this is embarrassing for you, but you can report it. If the emperor blames it, I will bear it. "

The little leader hesitated for a moment, then turned around and went in to report.

Fang Xin was not in a hurry, leaning against the carriage, Shi Shiran admired the moonlight in the sky.In fact, at the end of the month, there is only such a small bud left on the outline of the moon, but it is so bright that it makes people's hearts sway.

It is said that thousands of miles share the moonlight, and I don’t know what happened to the brothers who are far away in Dayue, and whether the moonlight on the island is also so clear and confusing...

In Yongfu Palace, a small table was placed under the big tree in the corner of the courtyard. On the table was only a pot of clear tea accompanied by a blue and white porcelain plate, and a few pieces of golden moon cakes were stacked on the plate.

Qin Rui broke open a piece, saw the dark red stuffing inside, smelled the faint fragrance of dates.So he sighed softly. When the Ding family had an accident, Lu Shi was also baking mooncakes. He also said that he would eat a few more after he came back from the city.I don't want to, when I go back, my eyes are already full of desolation...

If the Ding family is still alive, even if things are still like this, at least that woman won't hate him so much...

Qin Quan saw his master moved his hands, and quickly took a piece of mooncake too.He was lucky, and it turned out to be egg yolk after breaking it open. He smiled happily, took a bite, and couldn't help but praise, "Miss Ding is a good cook. It's been a long time since I returned to the good dishes she made. Back then, Zhuangli..."

Halfway through the speech, he realized that there was something wrong with his words, and quickly glanced at the master. Sure enough, the master's mooncakes hadn't been eaten yet, and his expression was somewhat sad.

"Uh, master, it's such a beautiful moonlight, I'll go down and get some good food, drink a few glasses of wine, and get a good night's sleep."

Qin Rui shook his head, took a bite of the mooncake, waited until the jujube fragrance filled his mouth, and then replied, "No need, just sit for a while."

After that, he remembered something and asked again, "Did the people in the south answer?"

Qin Quan nodded quickly, "Yes, I have sent the news back. Miss Ding is very good on the island and has been recruiting workers. The Fang family and the Chu family are helping to buy food. It's just..."

Qin Rui raised his eyebrows, and Danfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's just what?"

Qin Quan hesitated for a moment, but finally responded, "It's just that there is a lot of grain purchased. I don't know if it is because the island cannot be cultivated, or Miss Ding has other plans."
