Yan Zhigao hurried to the inn, feeling very worried. Firstly, he was worried that his children would be bullied, and secondly, he was worried that someone would take the opportunity to put small shoes on him and pull him off his horse, so that he would not even be able to become a county magistrate.

He is not stupid. He has been the county magistrate of Zhongzhou Province for nine years. Although he has not accumulated many connections, he can still receive some information. The reason why he has no hope of promotion in these years is because someone above him is suppressing him.

He doesn't know what happened in the inn, but he believes in the eldest son he trained.

Since the eldest son became a scholar, whenever he had time, he would explain some official matters to him, and also analyze the future development of the Yan family.

Over the years, the eldest son has lived up to his expectations. He is stable and reserved at a young age, unlike when he was young and arrogant. He offended people when he first entered the officialdom, and it has been difficult for him to turn over.

With the eldest son here, even if something happened, he would restrain several younger ones, but things still happened, so it was probably the other party who deliberately provoked it.

Hey...

Yan Zhigao sighed silently.

This time, King Rui's inspection of Zhongzhou may be his only chance to turn around.

Someone in Zhongzhou Province is suppressing him, and it is too difficult for him to stand out. I can only point to this report. With his achievements in resettling refugees in Linyi County, officials from Beijing can pay attention to him.

He doesn't want too much, he just wants to get a fair evaluation so that his efforts over the years will not be in vain.

But now that something like this happens, no matter whose fault it is, he may be the one who gets punished in the end.

He knew the governor of Fanzhou, and the highest official of Zhongzhou Province, Dong Buzhengshi, seemed to be of the same race as him. With such a strong relationship, how could he, an official from a humble background, be able to fight against him?

Amidst the anxiety, the inn arrived.

Yan Zhigao quickly jumped out of the carriage and hurried towards the small courtyard where he lived.

But after taking a few steps, I realized something was wrong.

Those officials who had ignored him yesterday actually took the initiative to greet him, and their attitude was particularly good. Many of them had official positions far above him.

Yan Zhigao smiled back and returned to the courtyard confused.

"Sir, you are finally back!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Master Xiao greeted him, followed by Li Shounian.

Yan Zhigao knew Li Shounian and met him first, then hurriedly asked Master Xiao: "What happened? How many literary cultivators are there?"

Master Xiao knew Yan Zhigao's eagerness and worry, and immediately comforted him: "Sir, don't be anxious, it shouldn't be a bad thing!"

"Huh?" Yan Zhigao was stunned.

Master Xiao looked at the people passing by from time to time outside the small courtyard, and said with a smile: "Sir, let's go inside and talk!"

The three of them quickly entered the house.

Soon, Yan Zhigao's surprised voice came from the room.

"What are you talking about? Fanzhou Zhizhou is going to bring his son over later to apologize to Daohua?!"

Yan Zhigao was really shocked.

Let’s not talk about the relationship between Fanzhou Zhizhou and the chief envoy. Let’s just say that Zhizhou is a fifth-grade official and his position is above him. Even if the incident was caused by the Zhizhou son, there is no need for the Zhizhou to come in person, right?

Master Xiao hurriedly explained the origin and story of the incident, focusing on the distinguished young master who gave a unicorn jade pendant to Daohua.

Yan Zhigao was speechless for a long time after hearing this. After a while, he asked: "Where are Daohua and the others?"

Master Xiao: "Because of the fight, several of the gentlemen were more or less injured. The eldest girl is giving them medicine now."

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao couldn't sit still. Just when he wanted to go over and take a look, he saw Yan Wenxiu and others walking into the room.

"Dad, are you back?"

Yan Wenxiu looked happy, and his tense mood finally relaxed. Although Master Xiao was there before, the person who made him feel most at ease was his father.

Yan Zhigao inquired about the injuries of several people and learned that it was nothing serious. Then he looked at Daohua, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and pretended to be calm: "That young master gave you the jade pendant, show it to me!

”

Daohua didn't hesitate, quickly took off the jade pendant from her waist, and handed it over casually.

Yan Zhigao carefully took the jade pendant. It was a piece of warm jade that was all emerald green. It was rare at first glance. If you were not from a wealthy family, you would never get something like this.

Master Xiao and Li Shounian, who were next to them, also came over. They had wanted to see the jade pendant before, but they were too embarrassed to ask Daohua.

After rubbing it for a while, Yan Zhigao handed the jade pendant back to Daohua: "This jade pendant is too valuable, you shouldn't accept it."

Hearing this, Li Shounian glanced at Yan Zhigao in surprise. Master Xiao had no reaction at all. He had been with Yan Zhigao for several years and knew how noble this man was.

Daohua put the jade pendant back on her body and said nonchalantly: "I saved Xiao Yeyang's life, so I think it's nothing if he gave me a jade pendant."

Yan Zhigao glanced at his eldest daughter, moved his lips and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it back.

Seeing him like this, Daohua smiled and said: "Father, if you think this jade pendant is too valuable, the worst I can do is give Xiao Yeyang something as a gift next time I see him again. I know that I have to reciprocate gifts after receiving them.

Things that come and go last a long time, and I won’t just be in and out.”

Yan Zhigao was hesitant to speak. There was nothing good in their family that he could give back to the gift, and besides, whether he would be able to say so when he saw someone in the future.

But he couldn't say these words openly, so he had to keep his mouth shut and remain silent.

He didn't say anything, but Yan Wenkai jumped out: "Sister, we don't seem to have anything good?"

Daohua: "What nonsense are you talking about? We have a lot of good things at home."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked over. Even Master Xiao looked at Daohua curiously. He had probably estimated the Yan family's wealth, and he could only say that it was slightly better than ordinary people. Even some big families in the county

Others may not be able to compare with it.

Yan Wenkai was stunned: "Why don't I know? Tell me, what good stuff is there?"

Daohua: "The food I made is good, isn't it?"

Everyone:......

Seeing the matter-of-fact expression on Daohua's face, Yan Wenxiu and others all looked away. Even Master Xiao and Li Shounian looked away uncomfortably.

Yan Zhigao was also speechless. The good thing the eldest daughter said was the food she made?

Yes, the food cooked by the eldest daughter is very good, but a young man from a wealthy family who has never eaten or seen anything can appreciate the ordinary food she cooks?

Fortunately, he thought Madam had secretly saved something valuable!

Seeing everyone's disapproval, Daohua curled her lips.

Forget it, I’m too lazy to tell them more. How do they know the preciousness of space food?

Just then, the boy walked in.

"Sir, the governor of Fanzhou came here with his young masters, saying that he wanted to apologize to several young masters!"

Yan Zhigao stood up immediately, looked at Master Xiao, and hurriedly went out.

The rice flowers did not move.

Yan Wenkai pulled Daohua's sleeve: "Sister, shall we forgive that Mr. Zhizhou later?"

Daohua: "Fourth brother, this matter is beyond our control. The adults are involved, and we children only have to be obedient!"

Hearing what Daohua said, Yan Wenxiu on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Everyone should stop talking for a while. We will do whatever Dad tells us to do. Do you understand?"

Yan Wenkai was a little unhappy: "That guy is really cheap."

Daohua touched the jade pendant around her waist: "Perhaps Mr. Zhizhou also thinks he is taking advantage of us." If Xiao Yeyang hadn't suddenly appeared, we don't know how things would have ended!

I wonder if I can see that guy again?

And what is his identity?

Dong Zhizhou followed Yan Zhigao into the room, and his eyes immediately fell on the jade pendant in Daohua's hand. His eyes flickered a few times quickly, and the smile on his face became more and more.

"Why don't you come in and apologize to your Yan family brothers?"

As soon as he came, Dong Zhizhou showed his sincerity.

Dong Xiangrong looked unhappy, but under the force of Dong Zhizhou's warning eyes, he slowly walked in front of Daohua and said without sincerity: "I'm sorry..."

In response, Daohua and others pursed their lips and said nothing.

Finally, Yan Wenxiu stepped forward with a smile and said: "It doesn't matter. In fact, we also made mistakes. I hope Brother Dong can forgive us if we are wrong."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhizhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yan Wenxiu with a satisfied expression.

Although he doesn't know what the relationship is between the Yan family and the young ancestor from above, it's best not to offend him. Today's matter is not a big deal. It's just a few children messing around. As long as the Yan family doesn't pursue it, this matter
