The Yan family became famous because of the Loyalty Arch awarded by the emperor, and also because of the donation of 200,000 stones of medicinal materials.

You must know that the emperor will not easily reward something like an archway that flaunts merit and can be used to pass on, let alone inscribe it with the word "loyalty".

Officials had mixed reactions.

A generous person, that is, secretly envious.

Those who are narrow-minded and jealous will read a copy of the Yan family.

"Your Majesty, the Yan family is from Gengdu. How can they get 200,000 stones of medicinal materials? Yan Zhigao must have been corrupt and bribed. Please punish Yan Zhigao strictly."

The emperor quietly looked down at Censor Shi who was being pushed out by the Jiang family, with a full face of justice. It was not until Censor Shi was sweating profusely that he slowly spoke: "Ai Qing speaks so righteously, but there is evidence.

?"

Censor Shi has no evidence. He just feels that even an established family may not be able to produce 200,000 stones of medicinal materials, let alone the Yan family from a poor family.

Before Censor Shi could think of how to reply, Wu Jingyi stood up with a smile: "Back to the emperor, I am responsible for supervising the collection of medicinal materials. After learning that Magistrate Yan wanted to donate medicinal materials, I started to investigate the source of these medicinal materials."<

/p>

"The Yan family has indeed purchased a lot of fields over the years, but...except for a small part of these fields, most of them are fertile fields, and most of them are reclaimed wasteland."

"Everyone knows that the land in Ningmen Prefecture is barren. After Yan Zhigao took over as the prefect, he felt distressed when he saw so much empty land, so he took the lead in reclaiming it."

"Nowadays, most of the tax revenue raised by Ningmen Mansion is due to the reclamation of wasteland."

Some officials questioned: "The wasteland is barren. Even if medicinal materials can be grown, it is impossible to grow so many."

Wu Jingyi smiled: "Have you forgotten who introduced the high-yielding wheat seeds that are widely planted in Daxia? Shi Censor also said that the Yan family was born in Gengdu, and the Yan family is better at farming than us.

We have to recognize this."

After hearing this, the officials stopped talking.

Without him, their fields are now planted with high-yielding wheat seeds.

At this time, the emperor spoke: "There is an urgent shortage of medicinal materials at the border. I hope that when you can share the worries, all of you will act like a coward. Now that someone has come forward to donate, you have come out to accuse them of corruption and bribery. What do you think?"

What? Zhu Bajie beat him up?"

As he said that, he looked at Yu Shi coldly.

"The censor has the responsibility of supervising the court officials, but you are not allowed to slander the court officials at will. Every time you open and close your mouth, you characterize good officials who have served the court many times as corrupt and bribery people."

"Hmph, appointing a censor like you is a serious problem for the imperial court. If someone comes, take off the censor's official robe and throw him out of the palace, he will never be hired."

Hearing this, Censor Shi's legs went weak, and he fell to his knees on the ground with a bang. He looked at Prince Jiang with despair on his face, and was dragged out by two guards before he could say anything.
p>

Prince Jiang lowered his head and looked at the floor under his feet. The emperor's unabashed anger made him unsteady on his feet.

He was the one who introduced Shi Yushi. He just wanted to test the emperor's reaction. After all, the Jiang family gave the emperor a big embarrassment this time when collecting medicinal materials.

Neither he nor his father thought about going too far. As long as the emperor was willing to accommodate them, they were willing to help raise medicinal materials.

Seeing that the game between the Jiang family and the emperor was about to come to a head, the Yan family suddenly appeared and donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials, catching his family off guard.

I wanted to teach the Yan family a lesson, but I never thought the emperor’s reaction would be so severe.

Hey...

This time they did not help the emperor raise medicinal materials, which made him angry. It was their mistake.

......

Ningmen Mansion.

When the emperor's decree of commendation and the arrival of the craftsmen who came to build the archway came, everyone in the Yan family was shocked. Not only the Yan family, but also the Ningmen Mansion officials and some well-informed Zhongzhou officials were also surprised.

When they found out that the Yan family had donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials to the imperial court, they all fell silent.

Without him, they would not be able to receive this reward.

Yan Zhigao accepted the imperial edict in a confused manner, and enthusiastically invited the eunuchs and craftsmen who delivered the edict to the front yard for tea. During this period, he took the time to ask Mrs. Li: "It is said that our family donated medicinal materials to the imperial court. What on earth is going on?

What’s going on?”

Mrs. Li also looked confused. Then she thought of something and slapped her head fiercely: "Oh, it's Daohua. That girl told me about this when she came back last time. I thought she was joking, so I didn't take it to heart.

”

Hearing this, Yan Zhi was neither angry nor angry: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Mrs. Li said in a nonchalant tone: "As I said, I thought that girl was joking." After saying that, she asked tentatively, "How many medicinal materials did Daohua donate?"

The Yuci Archway is not only the glory of their family, but also the glory of the entire Yan family.

Yan Zhigao's expression froze for a moment, and then he faintly gestured with the word "two".

He didn't know that his daughter was so capable!

When Mrs. Li saw it, she looked surprised: "You can get the imperial memorial arch by donating 20,000 stones of medicinal materials?"

Yan Zhigao was speechless: "What's 20,000 shi? It's 200,000 shi." After saying that, he shook his head and turned to entertain the messengers.

Mrs. Li was stunned for a while before she recovered from her daughter's donation of 200,000 stones of medicinal materials, and then she went to the old lady's yard in a daze.

At this moment, everyone in the Yan family gathered in the old lady's room, and everyone looked happy.

The emperor gave him the Zhongyi Archway, and the Yan family has changed its lintel since then.

When Mrs. Li saw the old lady, she couldn't help but say: "Mom, did you know that girl Daohua donated 200,000 shi of medicinal materials to the court?"

Wu was startled: "Where did Daohua get so many medicinal materials?"

Mrs. Yan reacted very calmly and explained to everyone: "Didn't that girl buy two hills before? There happened to be a big valley between the hills. She planted a lot of medicinal materials there, and I helped spread them.

How about the seeds?"

"The old man said that there is Yaowang Valley in the south, so the girl named the valley Baicao Valley." He said with a smile, "Listen, does it sound like you are in a ring?"

Looking at the smiling old lady, Mrs. Li didn't know what to say. After a while, she said: "Mom, our family got the Yuci Archway, I'm afraid we have to go back to our hometown."

Mrs. Yan was silent for a moment: "The boss is busy with official duties, so let Wen Xiu go back. By the way, the third child will also go back. The archway that Daohua earned for our family cannot be built carelessly."

Mrs. Li quickly showed a proud look and couldn't hide her smile and said: "This girl has accomplished such a big thing quietly. I will send someone to tell her immediately so that the girl can be proud of herself."

Mrs. Yan nodded with a smile.

Next, Yan Yishuang and Yan Wenbin looked at each other silently, sighing in their hearts.

In this life, they may never be able to compare with their big sister.

Since the ban was lifted, the aunt has not been as pampered as before. For this reason, she often tells them in their ears that they should catch up with their elder brothers and sisters.

Now that the eldest sister has even acquired the Yuci Arch for her family, how can they surpass her?

When the provincial government and the Su family learned the news, Mr. Su smiled from ear to ear and said frankly that the Yan family had made no mistake.

Mrs. Su San went to Su Shiyu's yard and saw her daughter sitting in front of the window in a daze. She walked by and asked with a smile: "Are you thinking about Wen Kai again?"

Su Shiyu's face turned red and she said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Su San teased her daughter a few words, and then sighed: "When I assigned you to Wen Kai, I was a little worried. Now the Yan family is getting better day by day. I just wait for Wen Kai to make contributions in Northern Xinjiang.

Yeah, you don’t have to worry about it.”

Because he could not keep the messengers and craftsmen waiting for a long time, Yan Wenxiu led everyone back to his hometown in a hurry the next day.

Han Xinran saw her off with a big belly. Aunt Han was worried that she would be tired and kept urging her to go back.

"Mommy, I'm not tired. I don't know how long my husband will stay when he comes back. I want to see more."

Looking at Han Xinran's rosy and stretched face, Mother Han didn't say anything more. She noticed the envious looks from around her and said with a smile: "The girl is really lucky. This girl from the Yan family is marrying the right person."
p>

Han Xinran touched his belly, smiled and nodded: "Isn't it?"

Yushang Archway, even among the aristocratic families in the capital, is rare.

The most important thing is that the emperor personally inscribed the word "loyalty". With this reputation, people will take a high look at the Yan family wherever they go in the future.

When she thought about the life she had lived after marrying into the Yan family, her mother-in-law was sensible, her sister-in-law was easy to get along with, and she had almost nothing to worry about, the smile on Han Xinran's face became deeper and deeper.

Peach Blossom Village.

Daohua was very happy when she found out that the emperor had appreciated the royal memorial arch, and said to Gu Jian: "This time the emperor finally kept his word."

Gu Jian glanced at his apprentice. Just as he was about to ask the emperor when he broke his promise, he couldn't help but think of looking for gold mines.
