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 big swords went to Phoenix Mountain to dig for gold..."
"Really?"
"I lied to you that I am a puppy!"
"Oh my God..."
…
It's 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 his 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 lifetime."
"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." Er Pan 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 preaching to 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 was shaking 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, so she couldn't see clearly.
The other daughters-in-law were so frightened that they did not dare to take action.
"Mom, let me do it." The little sugar baby said calmly.
After saying that, his little head lay on the table, and his little hands easily took down the silk thread picked up by Su Laoer.
Then, holding both ends of the imperial edict with both hands, he stretched it——
"Okay!"
After saying that, his little hands touched the wrinkles on the imperial edict again on both sides.
Everyone in the Su family, "..."
Can this be called nothing?
Wherever a line is picked, it can still be seen.
The little sugar baby looked up at the nervous and worried look of the family, and said matter-of-factly: "No one else can see the Holy Sign in our house, so there is no need to be afraid. No one in our family will tell anyone."
Everyone in the Su family, "..."
It seems so.
If my family doesn't tell me, who can know?
"Our family was originally a banker's family, and our palms are rough. It's normal to pick out the thread by touching something like this. Even if the emperor finds out, he can't blame it." The little sugar baby added in a milky voice, still looking confident.
appearance.
After saying that, he looked at Su Sihu and said, "Fourth brother, it's your turn to touch."
She knew that the fourth brother also did not go back to town because he wanted to read the imperial edict.
With Su Lao Er being so frightened, how could Su Lao Si still dare to touch her?
"Forget it, fourth brother won't touch it anymore." Su Laosi waved his hand.
This imperial edict is too delicate.
If he stirs up a few more threads, this imperial edict will become unreadable.
"Fourth child, since your sister asked you to touch it, you can touch it. Don't worry." Old Mrs. Su said, "Let me fix it with a needle tomorrow and you won't be able to see it anymore."
"Yes, yes, fourth brother, touch it quickly." Little Sugar Baby immediately said: "Hurry up, touch it hard like me..."
After saying that, he also demonstrated to Su Sihu, touching the left and right sides of the imperial edict with his little hands.
Su Sihu looked at the little sister under the light, with her rosy little face and sparkling eyes, and suddenly he felt interested again.
"Okay! Fourth brother also touches it."
After saying that, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand with some excitement, and gently placed it on the silk on the table.
Then, I moved my fingers and felt that I was also complete.
"Fifth Brother, it's your turn." Little Tangbao looked at Su Laowu again.
As a scholar, Su Laowu had a stronger yearning for the imperial edict.
He hoped that one day he would also receive the imperial edict.
"Okay!" Su Laowu rolled up his sleeves without saying a word.
Then he suppressed his excitement and touched the silk he worked so hard for...
Next is Su Xiaoliu.
Su Xiaoliu had been gearing up for a long time, and finally it was his turn.
"Hehe...it's my turn..."
Su Xiaoliu rubbed his hands, his eyes shining with excitement.
Finally, with the encouragement of the little sugar baby, even the three children of the Su family carefully touched the imperial edict.
"Okay! Fifth Brother, you read every word, and the whole family will memorize every word. We must memorize all the words in the imperial edict tonight." Old Man Su issued an order as the head of the family.
Little sugar baby, "..."
Memorize it?
What to do?
"These are the words the emperor praised your sister. You must memorize them." Old Man Su said: "From now on, you will praise your sister like this in front of outsiders!"
"Okay, dad!" Mr. Su said.
"I know, Dad!" Su Laoer said.
"I understand, Dad!" Su Laosi said.
"Okay, Dad." Su Laowu said.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely memorize it." Su Xiaoliu said confidently.
"Master, let's memorize it too!" Da Pan and Er Pan said proactively.
Several daughters-in-law of the Su family also said in unison: "Dad, let's memorize it too."
Little sugar baby, "..."
What about her?
Should you carry it or not?
Does Wang Po sell melons?
Under the dim light, everyone in the Su family looked solemn, as if they were waiting to recite family mottos.
Su Laowu cleared his throat and said, "It's my destiny."
The Su family, "We are destined to be blessed by heaven."
