"If anything happens in the future, just ask Shopkeeper Wang and take good care of yourself and your sister." Jiang Hexi looked at the grateful Fang Daya tenderly and said carefully.
"Thank you, boss. I will definitely repay you in the future." Fang Daya wiped away her tears and couldn't help but swallow.
"Okay, stop crying and get busy!" Jiang Hexi hated to see others cry, so she quickly changed the subject.
Fang Daya also knew that she had lost her composure, so she scratched her head in embarrassment, and then respectfully withdrew.
A column of men in black pulled several trucks full of goods through the bustling streets of Shengjing, passed the magnificent palace gate, and stopped in front of the Xuanzheng Hall to wait.
"Report! Infantry Colonel Huo Jingyun is here with the tribute presented by General Wei Yuan!" a thin eunuch shouted in a high-pitched voice.
"Hurry up!" Emperor Jian'an's face turned red with excitement. He tightly grabbed the memorial that Huo Jingchen had sent out a few days ago and shouted.
There was a sound of heavy footsteps, and Huo Jingyun slowly walked in with two soldiers in black holding sandalwood boxes.
"Your Majesty, Huo Jingyun, I'd like to pay my respects to Your Majesty." Huo Jingyun knelt down respectfully and saluted to say hello.
Emperor Jian'an hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Ai Qing, get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, these are the corn and potatoes that the general mentioned. Since the sweet potatoes are not yet mature, they cannot be presented to Your Majesty. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness." Huo Jingyun was not vague, pointed to the sandalwood box beside him, and went straight to the point.
.
"No problem, no problem, Wu Hao has already explained it to me, please bring the things over quickly!" Emperor Jian'an waved his hand nonchalantly, staring anxiously at the two boxes.
The two soldiers obeyed the order and walked forward and handed the things to the two eunuchs.
Looking at the plump potatoes and the peeled corn in front of him, Emperor Jian'an touched a handful with trembling hands, feeling his heart tremble.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! My dear friends, let's take a look at the gift that Wuyou has given me!" Emperor Jian'an laughed loudly and waved his hand, signaling Gao Desheng to carry the things down.
Prime Minister Zhao came over, picked up a potato, looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty. Having such a magical thing in your hand is really a blessing from heaven! It makes me prosperous and prosperous as a country."
!”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for showing off the prestige of our country! Congratulations, Your Majesty, and wishing me prosperity!" A loud congratulatory voice sounded.
Emperor Jian'an proudly touched his beard and smiled even more cheerfully.
"This is all the result of being safe, come here! Pass on my instructions, General Weiyuan is thinking about the people of the world, and sends treasures to the capital. He bestows the divine bow to protect the country, a thousand taels of gold, three precious swords, a box of Eastern beads, and five handles of Ruyi jade.
, Shu brocade ten satin!"
"Farmer girl Jiang Hexi, for her meritorious service in planting, was granted the title of Lord of Chunxi County. She was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, a hundred acres of fertile land, two handles of Ruyi jadeite, three boxes of pink jade pearls, and five pieces of silk and satin!"
"Li Tiezhu, a commoner, found meritorious service in discovering the treasure. He was awarded a plaque of 'Farming Family', a hundred acres of fertile land, a hundred taels of silver, a box of South China Sea pearls, and ten pieces of silk and satin!"
"Infantry Colonel Huo Jingyun and others will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and three pieces of silk and satin for their meritorious service in the escort!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Huo Jingyun and the last two soldiers expressed their gratitude respectfully.
"Zhao Fei, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry!"
"I'm here!" Zhao Fei stood up and saluted respectfully.
Emperor Jian'an shouted: "Zhao Aiqing, I order you to take people to Jingzhou as soon as possible, and wait for the sweet potatoes to mature and welcome them back to me!"
"I honor your decree!" Zhao Fei lowered his eyes and responded respectfully.
Emperor Jian'an gave Gao Desheng a wink.
Gao Desheng understood the idea immediately, stood up, shook the whisk in his hand, and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "I will start playing, and if nothing happens, I will withdraw from the court!"
"Farewell to Your Majesty!" All the ministers bowed respectfully and knelt down.
After leaving the Xuanzheng Hall, Prime Minister Zhao immediately approached Huo Guogong Huo Tingzheng, smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Huo Guogong, Wu Hao is really a gifted talent from heaven, and he has made great achievements again! Huo Guogong is really a good teacher!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister Zuo. This is all His Majesty's kindness. The dog is just a fluke." Huo Tingzheng bowed in the direction of Xuanzheng Hall and said with gratitude.
Zhao Xiang smiled even deeper and said: "Huo Guogong is so humble. When he comes back safe and sound, I will definitely congratulate him with a few drinks!"
"Then I will first thank the left prime minister for Quanzi." Huo Tingzheng said with a smile.
"Easy to say, I'm going to take the first step." Zhao Xiang smiled, waved his hand, and left with a long stride.
"Prime Minister Zuo, walk slowly."
Zhang Yan, the right minister not far away, saw Zhao Peng acting like this. He curled his lips in disdain and raised his chin arrogantly. He no longer wanted to see a large group of people flattering and congratulating Huo Tingzheng, so he led his men to shout.
Step left.
"Prime Minister Zhang is still as arrogant as ever!" Ninghou Wenjun touched his beard and looked at Huo Tingzheng jokingly.
Huo Tingzheng shook his head helplessly and said casually: "Maybe Prime Minister Zhang is anxious to go back to his hometown to deal with things."
"That's true. After all, Prince Xiang is still grounded in the palace. The things he caused before can't be found out, so we can only let it go. Prime Minister Zhang is so angry!" Ning Hou came to Huo Guogong and laughed evilly, gloating about his misfortune.
"Be careful!" Huo Guogong glanced helplessly at his brother-in-law and warned in a low voice.
Ning Hou curled his lips indifferently, but said nothing more.
Until they returned to Duke Huo's mansion, Duke Huo motioned with his eyes to Huo Jingyun to go to the study.
"Master Guo, this is the letter that the master asked his subordinates to bring to you." Huo Jingyun took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Duke Huo.
Duke Huo pretended to be reserved and coughed slightly, then took it but did not open it. He urged: "Okay, you can go to the backyard to deliver the things!"
"Subordinate, please retire!" Huo Jingyun did not expose him, but solemnly and respectfully left, and thoughtfully closed the door.
As expected, as soon as Huo Jingyun left, Huo Guogong eagerly opened the letter and read it carefully.
Huo Jingyun strolled into the backyard and came to Chunhui Hall.
As soon as we entered, we saw that it was full of people.
Huo Jingyun was not surprised either. After bowing respectfully, he said in a low voice: "I have been asked by my master to deliver letters and gifts to the old lady."
"Send it up quickly!" Old Mrs. Huo urged her hurriedly.
Huo Jingyun took out a letter from his sleeve and winked at the two soldiers behind him.
The two soldiers immediately understood what he meant, strode up and handed the gifts to the maids.
Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Huo gathered together and eagerly browsed the letters without saying a word.
Huo Yunyao, who had been waiting for a long time, was extremely anxious, but due to etiquette, it was difficult to get close to him, so he had to hold on to the handkerchief and struggle.
It was not until after reading the letter that Mrs. Huo had the intention to look at Huo Jingyun and said with a smile: "You have worked hard, go down and receive the reward and rest!"
"Thank you, old lady!" Several people bowed out respectfully.
As soon as they left, Mrs. Huo ordered to the maid beside her: "Bixi, give everything to everyone, I think this girl Yunyao can't wait!"
"Grandma will laugh at Yao'er!" Huo Yunyao stamped her feet playfully, pouting and shaking Old Mrs. Huo's arm coquettishly.
"Mother, I think this Miss Jiang is not simple. A woman has such courage. Even Cai Jinghe's letter to me mentioned this Miss Jiang and said that she wanted to do business with her!" Huo Da
The lady smiled softly.
Mrs. Huo became more and more interested and asked curiously: "What kind of business does Jinghe want to do with her?"
"It's an ice business, and we also cooperated with her to open a restaurant and a wine shop! Mother, you don't know, Jinghe praised Miss Jiang so much in her letter!" Mrs. Huo didn't know what she thought of, and said to Huo
The old lady blinked her eyes.
"Is it possible that Jinghe fell in love with this girl?" Mrs. Huo immediately understood what she meant, her eyes lit up, and she speculated with great interest.
Mrs. Huo smiled mysteriously, pretending to be profound and said: "My wife doesn't know where she is, but this is the first time Jinghe has praised a girl in front of me! This girl Jiang must be very special."
"Cousin Jinghe must be interested in this girl! Otherwise, with his unforgiving mouth, he would never praise her!" Huo Yunyao suddenly became interested and nodded with certainty.
"You! You don't have the slightest reserve of a girl, how can you talk about the love between a man and a woman and don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Huo nodded her careless daughter's head and taught her a lesson mercilessly.
.
"Mom! Anyway, there are no outsiders here. What are you afraid of? I won't talk about this outside. Besides, Jing and his cousin are both grown up. Auntie has always been worried about his marriage. This is a good thing. Why am I so happy for him?
Already?" Huo Yunyao bit her lip, touched her head, and retorted unconvinced.
"It's okay. Yao'er is also worried about Jinghe. This is a good thing. Don't scold her all the time. Our Yao'er is very well-behaved!" Mrs. Huo held Huo Yunyao in her arms distressedly and looked at her with a smile.
Helpless Mrs. Huo.
Mrs. Huo Er and Mrs. Huo looked at each other and said nothing in tacit agreement.
If Huo Jingchen were present, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood. He obviously gave a lot of hints in the letter, but Mrs. Huo and Mrs. Huo didn't understand what he meant at all!
However, Wen Jianzhou actually blatantly praised Jiang Hexi in the letter, which made it appear that Huo Jingchen's letter was very normal and he simply didn't know what to say.
But Wen Jianzhou was also extremely unjust. He just wanted to leave a good impression on Jiang Hexi with Mrs. Huo, but who would have thought that he was self-defeating!
After Huo Jingyun left Chunhui Hall, he walked straight to a small courtyard of Huo Guogong's mansion.
I saw a girl in yellow sitting on a small bench in the yard, boiling medicine. She didn't notice his arrival at all. She looked extremely serious.
Huo Jingyun was afraid of scaring her, so he deliberately made the sound of footsteps louder.
Sure enough, Liu Ying turned around and looked curiously. In an instant, she subconsciously let go of the fan in her hand, and a bang woke up the stunned Liu Ying.
"Jingyun! Why are you here?" Liuying rushed over, grabbing Huo Jingyun's sleeve and getting excited.
