When the courtyard of the old Su family was filled with laughter and joy, General Shenwu led a group of troops and entered Phoenix Mountain.
Soon, the news about the gold mine in Phoenix Mountain spread like wildfire.
"Second uncle, have you heard?"
"What's going on?"
"Something big happened!"
"You bastard, stop being so pretentious! Say it quickly?!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'm telling you - there is gold on Phoenix Mountain!"
"Gold? Little bastard, what are you talking about? How can there be gold on Phoenix Mountain?"
"Look... I told you, you still don't believe it. You didn't see that just now many soldiers wearing shiny armor and carrying broadswords went to Phoenix Mountain to dig for gold..."
"Really?"
"I lied to you that I am a puppy!"
"Oh my God..."
…
That night.
The people of Lao Su's family sat in rows around the kang table.
Moreover, two oil lamps were extravagantly lit on the table.
The light from the two oil lamps reflected the Su family's shining eyes.
And, an excited expression.
"Dad." Su Xiaoliu rubbed his hands, looked at the imperial edict spread on the table, and said excitedly: "You said you would touch it at night, and I touched it..."
After saying that, I took a deep breath, and with a feeling of worship, I stretched out my hand to touch it.
Su Laoer slapped his brother's hand back with a "pop" sound.
"Wait a minute, Xiaoliu, have you washed your hands?"
"Second brother, I must have washed it! I even specially washed it with soap locust. If you don't believe me, take a look..."
Su Xiaoliu quickly raised his hand and asked Su Laoer to check it.
Originally, the Su family paid great attention to hygiene. Even when they were poor, their clothes were always patched, but they were always washed.
Therefore, although there were calluses on Su Xiaoliu's palms, even the fingernails were clean.
Su Laoer stopped stopping him.
Su Xiaoliu took another deep breath and stretched out his hand again while holding his breath.
However--
There was a sound of "pop!"
Su Laosi patted the back of his hand again.
"Wait a minute, let the elder brother touch it first!"
Su Xiaoliu, "..."
"Oh, brother, touch it quickly." Su Xiaoliu said eagerly.
Brother Su also rubbed his hands, with undisguised excitement on his honest and handsome face.
"It's okay, let Xiao Liu touch it first." Boss Su never argued with his brothers.
Su Laowu said: "No! There is an order between elder and younger, and the eldest brother must touch it first!"
"Boss, you touch it first." Old Man Su also said.
When Mr. Su saw his father and brothers, they all asked him to touch them first and did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll touch it first..."
After saying that, with a pious and excited expression, his big hands trembled slightly and he placed them on the yellow silk.
Ouch, he can actually touch the imperial edict with his own hands in this life...
Boss Su's face turned red with excitement.
"Brother, how are you? Is it particularly slippery?" Su Xiaoliu asked anxiously, his eyes gleaming.
"Well, it's slippery! It's so slippery! It's like touching silk."
After Boss Su finished speaking, he took back his hand and felt that he was complete.
"Quick, second brother, touch it!" Su Xiaoliu didn't rush to touch it this time, and just lined up obediently.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Su Laoer rubbed his hands and rolled up his sleeves.
He deliberately did not return to the county seat today just to see what the imperial edict looked like.
Now that I can touch it with my own hands, of course I won’t miss this opportunity.
Su Laoer also put his hands on the imperial edict like a pilgrim.
Then, he sighed and said: "I never thought that I, Su Erhu, would be able to touch the imperial edict with my own hands in this life."
"Dad, this is all the result of my little aunt! If it weren't for my little aunt, you would definitely not be able to get the imperial edict." Erpan said immediately.
Dapan quickly added, "Second uncle, you must not forget how good my little aunt is."
Little sugar baby, "..."
Look, look, it turns out that brainwashing is more effective if it starts from a young age.
Her parents really did not waste their efforts.
After listening to what his son and nephew said, Su Laoer said with laughter and tears: "You two are still trying to lecture me? Of course I will not forget the kindness of your little aunt, but you two boys, have you studied hard these days?
Your little aunt is still counting on you to become high officials in the future so that you can support her."
"Dad (second uncle), we have a good study!"
"That's pretty much it."
After Su Erhu finished speaking, he deliberately moved his big hands to both sides, wanting to feel the feel again.
However--
"Prick!" There was a slight sound, and the burr on the hand picked up a silk thread...
"Second dick!"
"Second brother!"
…
The Su family all exclaimed.
Su Laoer's heart almost stopped beating.
The bright yellow imperial edict was almost wrinkled together by the thread he picked up.
Su Laoer was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. He shook his hands, and the silk thread was still hanging on the burrs on his hands.
"Father, mother..."
After Su Lao Er shouted, he looked at Mrs. Su whether to cry or not.
At the critical moment, he felt that it would be more reliable to find his wife.
Mrs. Su was also shocked.
If someone finds out that the imperial edict has been violated, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and despising the emperor's authority.
Mrs. Su's heart also started beating wildly.
"Boy, don't move."
As Mrs. Su spoke, she suppressed her panic and lowered her head to see where the thread was hanging so that she could take it off and make sure it didn't break.
It's a pity that it was originally an oil lamp, and her eyesight was not good at night. She really couldn't see clearly.
