Ye Zhenzhen could not wait for Cui Weizhen, but she waited for the censor's impeachment.
The day after Prince Batu returned home in defeat, the imperial censor impeached Cui Weizhen, not because he condoned his relatives' disrespect for foreign guests, but because he conspired with his relatives to occupy fertile farmland and detain refugees, which was a heinous crime.
As soon as the impeachment came out, the whole court was in an uproar, both civil and military.
The idea of requesting an edict to release the refugees was proposed by Cui Weizhen, and the implementation has been quite effective in the past few months. Not to mention the officials in the court, let’s talk about the Cui family among the aristocratic families. After the Cui family was divided into clans,
The Cui clan, headed by Cui Weizhen, voluntarily released the refugees and returned them to their native places. Influenced by this, the Wang family also released many people. As for other aristocratic families, they are already planning to branch out.
Overall, the effect of this decree was huge. His contribution to dividing the family was worthy of the emperor giving him another rank.
However, now that his relatives have been impeached for occupying fertile farmland and detaining refugees, all his previous efforts have become a joke, and may even be in vain, causing the saint to dislike him.
This news was brought to Ye Zhenzhen by Zhou Xunting. She was stunned. She didn't even feel the pain when Wangzi pulled her ears. It wasn't until Yuxiu's exclamation sounded that she slowly came back to her senses.
.
She carefully took off Wangzi's hand and expressed her gratitude to Zhou Xunting: "Thank you for telling me the news. I will go back to my parents' house to find out the situation."
The censor's impeachment did not clearly state who the relatives were who had occupied fertile farmland and detained refugees. Ye Zhenzhen's first reaction was her parents. It was not that they were brave or stupid enough to do such a thing, but that they were worried.
They were plotted by villains.
Aunt Ye's food stall business is very good. Although they don't make any publicity, the neighbors gradually know that they are the natal family of the wife of the Minister of Household Affairs, and the deliciousness of Cui Mansion's private kitchen is famous in the capital. Mrs. Cui
Can something made by your mother’s family be fake?
Thanks to the celebrity effect and Ye Zhenzhen's unique secret recipe, Aunt Ye's stall did very well. Finally, they rented a store directly in the square to do business. Customers came in like clouds every day and the seats were packed. Therefore, they hired several waiters.
Even so, they are so busy that they can't get away every day.
Although busy, the rewards are huge.
The people in the capital are wealthy, and they can accept it as long as the price is not too high. Therefore, although their costs are higher than in Linxi County, their income is also higher, and they have saved some money in a few months.
Aunt Ye originally wanted to use this money to repay the dowry cost of Ye Zhenzhen to Ye Pengpeng. Naturally, Ye Zhenzhen was unwilling to take it and found an excuse to shirk it. Later, Aunt Ye figured out that this amount of money was not enough for such a large dowry.
It's just a drop in the bucket. The eldest daughter is not short of money at the moment, so the couple might as well save more.
Out of common people's instinct, they immediately thought of buying farmland.
It is difficult to buy land in the capital, and the fertile farmland has long been occupied by dignitaries. Even if someone sells it, the price is ridiculously high. The little money they have saved through hard work is not enough to buy a ridge.
So they could only buy some fields. The land was not that fertile and it was far away from the capital, but they didn't care. For them, the land was equivalent to a person's roots. After they came to the capital, they were like duckweeds without roots.
Be practical, it doesn't matter if the field is not good, just take care of it carefully, but you must buy it first.
They were not familiar with the capital, so they looked to Ye Zhenzhen for advice.
Ye Zhenzhen has been in the capital for two or three years and is very familiar with the fields of Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the capital. She would occasionally go to the fields with their wives to soak in hot springs and hunt, but those areas were all fertile farmland, and her opinions had no basis for reference.
value,
So she asked Zhang San to find a trustworthy intermediary to handle the matter.
Now she was worried that the man in question was a villain secretly arranged by others, specifically to set a trap for her parents.
Ye Zhenzhen hurried to Ye's house in Tongshanfang. The house was full of joy. Aunt Ye was a little surprised when her eldest daughter came back without saying hello, but she still happily pulled her into the lobby to sit down and asked her a lot.
He got up and said, "Why are you back so suddenly? Have you had lunch? When will your son-in-law be back? Why don't you bring Wangzi back? I haven't seen him these days. I miss him so much."
In front of Aunt Ye, Ye Zhenzhen calmed down all her anxiety and answered her questions one by one: "Weizhen came back after writing a letter from home. He wanted to choose an auspicious day to move his father-in-law's grave, so he was delayed for some time. I'm afraid
I won't be back until later. Wangzi went to bed after having lunch. I'll come back to see you when I have time... Dad, Mom, you said you wanted to buy farmland a while ago, have you bought it?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Ye Dayong and Aunt Ye could no longer hold back the smiles on their faces. Even Ye Dayong, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but talk a lot: "I bought it. My mother and I have been doing this for the past few days.
Yesterday, I finally decided to buy it. It is in the western suburbs, which is a bit far from the capital. However, many people in the community have bought land in that area. Although it is not high-quality fertile land, it is similar to our land in Yejia Village.
It’s not much different.”
yesterday!
Ye Zhenzhen's heart immediately rose, and she couldn't help but reveal her emotions, and asked hurriedly: "Dad, what kind of field did you buy? Is the procedure normal? Did you buy a servant to farm it?"
Ye Dayong and Aunt Ye finally realized that something was wrong with their daughter. Aunt Ye quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, what happened? Is it related to the field we bought?"
They are all ordinary people who don't care about anything. As soon as they think of this possibility, they immediately panic.
Ye Zhenzhen realized that she had scared her parents, and quickly reassured them: "It's okay, I'm afraid you will be cheated. It's not easy for you to earn some money these days."
The Ye family couple felt a little relieved.
Aunt Ye said: "You have told us before that the most important thing for our family is to abide by our duties. We have always done this. In the past few days, people have taken us to see the fields. There are indeed several fertile fields with good soil and good soil.
It was fertile and cheap. Your father and I were very tempted, but we felt that there was no such thing as getting a pie for nothing, so we were not tempted. Instead, we bought a field at the normal market price. The title deed was obtained by Li Zhenghe.
Once the yamen's procedures are taken care of, there won't be any problems."
Ye Dayong also added: "Your mother is right. The middleman originally suggested that we buy a few cheap servants to serve the fields. Your mother and I have been common people for most of our lives. How can we live like landlords?"
?So I didn’t agree. At most, my mother and I will work harder and travel more in the future.”
After hearing what they said, Ye Zhenzhen finally let out a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, her parents were honest and did not fall into the villain's plot, otherwise they would be the ones being impeached today.
Since her parents are fine, she can already guess who is being impeached.
