from widow to dame

Chapter 92

If you want to say which family has attracted the most attention in Beijing recently, there is no doubt that it is Yan Hongzhen, who was born in the Yongping Houfu in the past.

Ever since the emperor went to his hot spring village, the pain in his legs was greatly relieved, so he stayed like that, and now even state affairs are discussed there, and Yan Hongzhen was recruited to accompany the emperor because of his contribution to the village. , for a time it can be said that the scenery is boundless and hot.At the same time, Pu Mountain was on fire, the mountain was wide, and there were more than one hot springs. Even if you can't get the best one, you can get some lesser ones!As a result, the gate of the Yan family, which was very deserted in the past, was almost broken by people. The people who came and went were all relatives of the emperor and ministers of the family, all of whom wanted to buy land from the Yan family.

Su Huiniang didn't dare to offend her, so she could only receive them one by one with a smile, but later, she was really too noisy, plus she was pregnant now, the most important thing was the piece of meat in her stomach, and the rest had already been taken care of. She didn't have the mind to take care of it anymore, so she gave Huo Gang the full authority to take care of the affairs on Pushan. He is a meticulous person, and he will not suffer.

If this is not the case, then Huo Gangji simply marked the price directly, 10 taels of silver for one spring, 15 taels for better ones, and 50 taels for the best places.After hearing the quotation, many people almost spit out a mouthful of blood, cursing: "Why don't you grab it?"

But Huo didn't care about these just now, he made it clear that he had the attitude of paying the money with one hand and the land with the other hand.It's not that no one wants to come over and force it, but the problem is that Yan Hongzhen is now a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is hot. You are using your brain at this time, aren't you looking for death?
So holding the "Emperor", the thickest thigh in the world, the Yan family made a fortune this time. Except for the two left by their own family, the rest were all sold off, and they got a total of 500 million taels of white money. .

However, what Yan Hongzhen called "loyalty to serve the country" is really "dogleg". The 500 million taels of silver were all dedicated to the emperor without discussing with Su Huiniang, and he said, Hong Fuwan didn't dare to withhold all the money because of the emperor, so it should be dedicated to His Majesty.

Zhu Chongguo was really moved when he heard this.

He looked at Yan Hongzhen with a humble face in front of him, and unconsciously thought of his own father who died early. Didn't Haoran spend all his family money to help me achieve my great career back then?As expected of a father and son, they are equally loyal to me!

Here I have to mention that the cause of Yan Haoran's death is different from those of the heroes who were deliberately killed by Zhu Chongguo. Yan Haoran fell off his horse and broke his neck when he returned home after drinking too much. , although this method of death is quite useless, but I have to say, he died well! !Without all the dirty things between the monarch and his ministers in the future, all that is left in Zhu Chongguo's heart is the good side of the other party.Now looking at Yan Hongzhen who looks exactly like Yan Haoran, Zhu Chongguo is naturally full of emotions.

As soon as His Majesty the Emperor opened his mouth, Yan Hongzhen immediately promoted him to rank. His original position was Jinyiwei Baihu, but now he has been promoted to Jinyiwei Qianhu, and he has been added the post of Imperial Walker. Most importantly, Zhu Chongguo has rewarded him. A title came down and he was made a viscount.The ranks of Da Rui are Wang, Duke, Marquis, Bo, and Zi. Although the Viscount is the lowest, it is still a title. No matter how many people ask for it, they will not come.Of course, Zhu Chongguo accepted all the 500 million taels of silver with a smile.

After Huo Gang heard the news, he didn't catch his breath, and almost died of anger. He pointed at Yan Hongzhen's nose and scolded him for being a prodigal, five million taels, and just flew away from his eyes. He clapped his hands and praised Yan Hong for being so smart.

Originally they bought Pushan with the attitude of making a fortune, but then with the arrival of the emperor, everything changed. It is impossible to make a fortune silently. How many people are staring there, you How much money can be made, people have a clear mind.And Zhu Chongguo is such a narrow-minded person, he can't even tolerate his brothers who once shared life and death, but can he tolerate someone pulling his banner to make money?

Now it’s all right now, 500 million taels of silver has been given to the emperor with aboveboard “filial piety”, no one should worry about it, so what should I do~~
Su Huiniang slowly stroked her swollen belly, thinking faintly that in the last life, it was Zhu Houwen, the grandson of the emperor, who dedicated the hot spring pile to the saint, but in this life, he was cut off by his own man. If he knew, I don't know what it will be like!
Who made him accept Yan Rulan as his side concubine?

Su Huiniang sighed softly, she is really a narrow-minded woman.

So throughout the winter of this year, Zhu Chongguo stayed on Pushan Mountain, and only went back to the capital during the New Year. According to rumors, the emperor's spirit appeared to be very good, obviously the hot spring recuperation was very effective!And thanks to this, this year's Yan family's annual gift is almost broken, regardless of whether you know it or not, it is a big push, and Su Huiniang, as the hostess, naturally has to pay attention to it carefully and return the gift carefully. Among them, there are two annual gifts that are particularly eye-catching, one is from the Yongping Hou's Mansion, and the other is from the Emperor Taisun's Mansion.

The former is extraordinarily thick, showing the meaning of warm friendship, while the latter is flat, revealing a hint of nobility.

Su Huiniang raised her eyebrows, but the return gifts to the two houses were all the same thing - aged old ginseng.

Produced in space, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.

This is Su Huiniang and Yan Hongzhen's first New Year after they got married, so they both feel very happy.They invited Huo Gang to celebrate the New Year together, and it could be seen that the other party was also very happy. After all, no one wanted to spend it alone on this day of family reunion.

In the flower hall, the black-toothed round wooden table has long been filled with banquets. There are braised lion head, squirrel mandarin fish, crystal meat, mother ship oil duck, etc. Main dishes also include honey sesame balls, cold shredded pork, and vegetarian bamboo shoots. Waiting for side dishes, paired with beautiful big red apples, yellow oranges, and a plate of watermelon that I don’t know where to get.

Huo Gang was very happy in his heart because his nephew's official career was going well, so he couldn't help but have a quick drink, and the two of them both blush and neck thick after drinking.Su Huiniang was next to him, sipping warm tea and looking at them with a smile.

Firecrackers were set off at home at night, Su Huiniang was afraid of startling the baby in her stomach, so she deliberately hid in the house, and when Yan Hongzhen came in with a smile on her face, she couldn't help asking: "But it was fun?"

Yan Hongzhen nodded with a smile, with a look of reminiscence on his face.

"In the past, sister Hui would buy firecrackers for me to play during the Chinese New Year at home, but it wasn't fun at all. You bought too little every time." Finally, he pouted, showing a coquettish look.

They are so old, but still look so childish, Su Huiniang secretly shook her head, the husband and wife sat on the steps, shoulder to shoulder, legs to legs, the faint yellow candlelight flickered in the room, Extra soft.She looked at the people beside her and then slowly touched her stomach, she just felt so happy that she finally saw the right person in this life.

In the third year of junior high school, the husband and wife went back to their natal home, but Su Huiniang got a pleasant surprise. Looking at the shy Chang Run'e, Su Huiniang opened her eyes wide in surprise: "Is there really?"

Chang Rune nodded with a flushed face, "It's been more than a month."

"This is really, this is really..." Su Huiniang said somewhat incoherently: "That's great, that's great, Ah'e, congratulations!"

"It's all thanks to my sister!" Chang Run'e took her hand and said sincerely.In her heart, it was precisely because Su Huiniang was pregnant with the child first, which brought blessings, and she followed suit, so it happened.

Su Huiniang felt that her family's luck has really improved recently, no matter how good things come one after another, it is really unstoppable.But like boom and bust, her troubles followed.

"Madam said that the seventh day of the lunar new year is the day when our family worships our ancestors. Please go back with Master Hongzhen." Xing Mama stood in the hall, her eyes swept directly on Su Huiniang's stomach.Suppressing all kinds of thoughts in her heart, she said with a smile: "Please tell mother that Hongzhen and I will definitely go when we arrive."

She lied.

She had no intention of going at all.

The Marquis of Yongping's mansion is nothing less than a dragon's pond and a tiger's lair. Su Huiniang would not be afraid if she was on a normal day, but now that she is pregnant with a child, she would not take the slightest risk. How could she possibly go to such a dangerous place? There wasn't even a place to cry, but she told Yan Hongzhen about this, and the boy's behavior was very intriguing. He actually expressed his willingness to go, Su Huiniang thought, this is really strange.

There must be a conspiracy.

However, what happened later didn't seem to be what Su Huiniang thought. When Yan Hongzhen came back from the Yongping Hou Mansion, he looked very happy. Su Huiniang asked him what was wrong, but he didn't say anything, which made her wonder for a long time secretly.

When the first month comes out, the year will be over, but on this day, Su Huiniang received a letter. When she opened it, she couldn't help being surprised.

The person who sent the letter was actually Qi Meimei who hadn't seen her for many years.

According to the letter, something happened to her in her hometown, but it was her stepfather, Yan Hongzhen's eldest brother, Wang Dalang who had suffered a life-threatening lawsuit and was about to be sentenced. I hereby write to Su Huiniang for help.
