peasant girl wedding

Chapter 217
The king of Shu laughed.

"You're finally attacking me. What kind of kinship? What kind of brotherly love? Excuses, everything is an excuse! Once you reach the ninth five, you will be ruthless. You are ruthless. So what if you are the emperor? You still can't." To leave a name through the ages, to take over my sister-in-law..."

"Come on, shut his mouth quickly."

Hearing the crazy words of King Shu, Eunuch Hu hurriedly called out.

All the ministers looked carefully at the emperor on the dragon chair, seeing that his expression was normal, without any shame, and they were also confused.

"Marshal Ji and others listen to the order."

With an order, all the ministers focused their attention on Ji Chang, his father and his son.

The emperor is going to reward meritorious deeds.

"Ji Chang, you father and son have made great contributions to calming the chaos. I will make you Duke Ji, and his son will be the first-class viscount."

Ji Chang's expression remained unchanged, and he said respectfully: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Come here, give me the iron coupon of the book of pills. In addition, I will reward the Duke's mansion with a thousand taels of gold and a house."

Ji Chang thanked him again.

"Dong Ping stepped forward to listen to the seal."

All the ministers were still wondering who this person was, when a young man in a blue shirt came into everyone's sight.

"The grass people kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"You have made great contributions to calming the chaos, and I will reward you..."

"Your Majesty, can the grassroots exchange the reward for a request?"

Before the emperor spoke, Eunuch Hu scolded: "Bold, how can you be so presumptuous in front of the emperor?"

"Eunuch Hu..."

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Hu looked to the side, noticing the sight of warning him, Eunuch Hu's heart shuddered, and he stopped talking.

"Come and listen."

"Your Majesty, Cao Min's second uncle made a big mistake this time, but Cao Min's family members don't know about it. Please allow Cao Min's merits and demerits to be equalized, and Cao Min's family members will be spared!"

"...sure."

Hearing these words, Dong Ping finally let go of his heart, and kowtowed gratefully: "Caomin thanked the emperor for his kindness. The emperor is so tolerant, he is really a wise king."

"Ha ha……"

What he said made the emperor's heart happy.

He looked at Dong Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, and thought: It is their good fortune that the Xinglin Dong family can produce such talents.

"I ask you, would you like to come to this hospital?"

"Your Majesty loves you so much, and the grassroots are ashamed. It's just that the grassroots are used to the life of the people and are used to being free, but they don't adapt to it in the palace. If the rules are broken, it's a trivial matter for the grassroots to be punished, and it makes the emperor unhappy. It's very bad."

"Rules, you can learn slowly..."

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing Dong Ping's insistence, the emperor had no choice but to give up.

And rewarding other people, this is a retreat from the dynasty.

The news that Ji Chang, his father and son were rewarded by the emperor soon spread back to General Ji's residence.

The female family members in the mansion were all smiling and excited.

"Old lady, madam, the marshal and general are back."

The steward went to the inner court to report.

"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you still doing in a daze, go outside to meet him!"

A woman over half a century old, with a forehead on her head, an extraordinary bearing, a cane in her hand, and a woman in dark gold thread crocheted with brocade, led a group of female relatives to the door in a mighty manner.

The three of Ji Chang got off their horses and were about to confront this group of people.

"Mother, why did you come to greet me in person?"

"grandmother."

Seasonal rites and seasons are humane to women at the same time.

The woman smiled lovingly, tears flashed in her eyes, "You guys have come back safely."

The three of Ji Chang, father and son knelt on the ground, "My son is unfilial, and my mother is worried."

"Get up quickly, you are tired after so many days outside, hurry up and go to the house to rest."

Ji Chang's two wives each looked at their sons, followed behind Ji Chang and the old lady, and entered the mansion together.

Just after entering the courtyard, I heard Eunuch Hu yell "The imperial decree has arrived".

A group of people hurriedly received the decree, and when they knew the meaning of the decree, they were even more pleasantly surprised.

"Congratulations, Duke, congratulations, son."

Eunuch Hu handed the imperial decree to Ji Chang with a smile, and said: "The house of the Duke's Mansion is still being furnished, and the Duke will be able to move in in ten days."

"I'm sorry, Eunuch Hu, please sit inside quickly, Eunuch Hu."

Eunuch Hu shook his head, "Thank you, Lord Guo, for your kindness. Your Majesty is still waiting for the Miscellaneous Family to return to the palace, so the Miscellaneous Family will not stay any longer."

The old lady ordered her servants to bring the silver and hand it over to Eunuch Hu. The group watched him leave before entering the mansion.

"Master is the Duke of the country, and the eldest son of our family has also become the eldest son. This, this is really gratifying. But, why is there no reward from the second son?"

Everyone was in high spirits, upon hearing what the second lady said, the smile on the old lady's face faded a bit.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

Ji Ji walked to the side of the second lady, and said with a face of disapproval.

"You also went to the front line to bleed, and crawled back from the dead, why didn't you get a reward?"

"Mother, hasn't the emperor already rewarded father and elder brother? Our family's rewards are already enough, and there are still 1000 taels of gold. And this time, I didn't do anything, it's all thanks to father and elder brother."

The second lady gouged out her son's eyes, and the handkerchief in her sleeve became a crumpled ball.

"You and your two children are suffering. There is food in the dining room. Let the whole family go and rest after eating."

The old lady's words finally relieved the tension and embarrassment, and the group walked into the house.

However, after dinner, the second lady was the first to run to the master.

"Second lady."

"Where's my lord?"

"The master went to the eldest lady."

In a word, the Second Madam hated her so much that she knew it was like this. Whenever the master came back, he would run to her every time.

The second lady flicked her sleeves and went to her son's house.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Ji Ji just lay down on the bed, and when he saw the second lady coming over, his heart jumped up.

"Let me tell you, you can't back down on this matter. Anyway, you also went to the front with them..."

"Mom, I'm very tired. Let's talk about these things later. I want to sleep for a while."

The second lady saw that his face was tired and full of vicissitudes, and her heart ached suddenly, "Okay, mom, don't disturb you, you can rest well."

After being free, Ji Ji immediately lay down on the field and closed his eyes.

On the other side, the eldest lady served Ji Chang to sleep, and then quickly went to Ji Li's room.

"Where is the eldest son?"

No one was seen in the room, the eldest lady frowned.

"Back to the eldest lady, the eldest son has gone to practice boxing."

The eldest lady frowned even deeper, but there was a smile in her eyes, "Why is this child always like this?"

The place where Jifu practiced boxing was in the backyard, a very wide square surrounded by various weapons.

When the eldest lady came over, Ji Li had already finished punching.

"Mother."

"Well, are you tired?"

Ji Li shook his head.

The eldest lady approached him and took his hand, "It's not too late to practice boxing for a day and a half. You have been with your father for so long, so tell your mother."

"There's nothing to say. Those who fought and killed on the battlefield frightened my mother."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, the eldest lady sighed inwardly.

"Mother, if there is nothing else, the son will go to the study."

Da Furen nodded, watched him leave, and said quietly: "He still hates me."

"Ma'am," an old woman came over and said in a low voice, "After so many years, the Eldest Young Master should understand Madam's painstaking efforts."

The eldest lady shook her head, "You don't understand."

"lady?"

"Forget it, let's go back."

…………

"Why hasn't your brother-in-law come back yet?"

At the ferry in Qingzhou, several women wearing veils were surrounded by several guards and stood aside, anxiously watching the passing ships.

"Eldest sister, my brother-in-law has made great contributions, and he still has to follow Marshal Ji and the others to the capital to receive awards. The capital is far away, how can he come back so soon?"

Tong Zhi'er closed her hat, which was a little crooked by the wind, and said.

"Sister, the wind is too strong on the river, let's go to the inn next to us and wait."

Tong Duoer nodded, and the three sisters went to an inn next to the ferry.

"Three girls, is everything business as usual?"

They came here five days ago, and the guys at the inn all knew each other.

Tong Zhier nodded with a smile.

The three of them entered the private room on the second floor and sat down.

"Didn't it only take about six days for us to go to the capital? Counting the days, your brother-in-law will arrive around today."

"Eldest sister, if my brother-in-law is made an official by the emperor, I'm afraid he will have to entertain, so he won't arrive so early."

Tong Duo'er's face was instantly downcast.

The shop waiter quickly served a pot of hot tea, the three of them ate for a while, and then the hot meals and dishes came.

Tong Duo'er opened the window, stood in front of the window and watched, suddenly, she screamed.

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er hurried over, "Eldest sister, what's wrong?"

"Zhi'er, Zhu'er, look, does that person look like your brother-in-law?"

Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er looked over and saw a man in green clothes, with a slender figure, and his appearance looked like Dong Ping's.

"It's a little far away, so I can't see it clearly, sister, let me go down and have a look."

Tong Duoer nodded, and Tong Zhuer waited anxiously.

I don't know how long it took, but the shop waiter came up and said out of breath, "Girl, girl, another girl told you to go down."

Tong Duo'er was surprised, "It's your brother-in-law, it's him, Zhu'er, let's go."

"...Elder Sister, slow down, wait for me..."

"Zhier, why are you here?"

Just after getting off the boat, Dong Ping saw Tong Zhi'er and was very surprised.

Tong Zhi'er smiled, "Brother-in-law, we have been waiting here for several days, and you are back."

"Us? You mean, your eldest sister is here too?"

Tong Zhier nodded.

Dong Ping looked up, anxiously looking for Tong Duo'er's sight.

The figure of a woman running quickly made him widen his eyes. Dong Ping walked over quickly, looking at him in surprise and joy.

"Duo'er, it's so cold, what are you waiting for here? Didn't I write a letter back home and tell you the exact date of my return..."
