Almost everyone in Xingzhou City who should know about Yan Zhigao's award knew about it. Even the officials of Zhongzhou Province and anyone who had a little better information had heard about it.

Zhoufu.

Mr. Zhou is reading the letter home from his second son. Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are sitting below, waiting quietly.

After a while, Mr. Zhou put down the letter. Mr. Zhou immediately asked: "Dad, what did the second brother say in the letter?"

Mr. Zhou smiled faintly: "I didn't say anything, except to say hello. The emperor personally praised the children who came to Jiguan to provide disaster relief."

Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were overjoyed at the same time: "Do you have the inheritance from our family?"

Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes at the eldest son: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Our Chengye went to Jiguang with the children of the Dong family, the Su family, and the Yan family with the young prince. There is no reason for them to be praised.

The one who left the inheritance alone."

Master Zhou smiled: "My son said something wrong."

Mr. Zhou was too lazy to pay attention to his eldest son, and sighed to himself: "The young prince is a man who knows how to give kindness. It was not in vain that Chengye took a risk with him. Now he has left an impression on the emperor."
p>

Governor Guo will definitely not mention a few children in his excerpt. If the emperor knows about people like Chengye, it is definitely the excerpt from the young prince.

After saying that, Mr. Zhou looked at Mrs. Zhou again: "Prepare a generous gift, and when Chengye and the others come back, you can personally deliver it to the Yan family."

Mrs. Zhou showed no reluctance this time and nodded: "Don't worry, dad, my daughter-in-law will be ready."

My son has already written a letter and returned. If it weren't for that girl Daohua, it's still unclear whether his son would be able to come back. Even if her father-in-law didn't tell her, she would come to thank her personally.

Then, Mr. Zhou looked a little sighing: "Being friends with the Yan family is the right step. Who would have thought that before they asked us to do anything, we would be the first to take advantage of it."

Mr. Zhou asked tentatively: "The emperor personally commended Mr. Yan. Is Mr. Yan going to be promoted again?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head, stroking his beard and said: "It's still unclear. It depends on Yan Zhigao's performance during the debriefing."

Mr. Zhou looked sad: "If you perform well, wouldn't you have to stay in Beijing?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head: "I don't think so. If the emperor is really optimistic about Yan Zhigao, he will most likely continue to let him go."

Master Zhou looked puzzled: "Why is this?"

Mr. Zhou explained: "The Yan family has no foundation in the capital. Now Yan Zhigao is just a fifth-grade magistrate. After entering the capital, he is just an inconspicuous petty official. It is better to go out and see if he can survive."

Make a difference."

"If you really have the ability and make great achievements, then when you go to Beijing, you might be able to enter the third rank."

Mr. Zhou: "...But this feat is not easy to achieve. It is better to go to Beijing and become a Beijing official peacefully."

Mr. Zhou glanced at his eldest son and sighed in his heart.

The eldest child naturally lacks some enterprising and fighting spirit, and such a person is only suitable for maintaining success.

Fortunately, his grandson Chengye is a good person, and now he has made good friends with people like the young prince. When he waits for a hundred years, the Zhou family will have his grandson to guard him, and he can go to meet his ancestors with peace of mind.

......

At the same time, the boat Daohua and his party entered Zhongzhou Province.

By the time the ship arrived at the provincial port, it was already dark.

At this time, even if Daohua and the others wanted to go home again, they would have to wait until the next day.

"Haha, now you have to go to our house." Dong Yuanyao pulled Daohua and smiled.

Daohua saw through her thoughts at a glance: "You think that if we go to your house and there are outsiders around, you can escape punishment, right?"

Dong Yuanyao pulled the rice flower, looked around, and whispered: "It's fine if you know it yourself, why do you say it?"

On the shore, the steward of the Dong family had been waiting with his carriage and horses for a long time. When he saw Dong Yuanxuan and others, he immediately greeted them.

In addition, the Su family's carriage is also waiting aside.

After that, except for Su Hongxin, whose home is in the provincial capital, everyone else went to the Dong family.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the gate of Dong's Mansion, Daohua sat on the carriage and saw Mrs. Dong rushing towards Dong Yuanxuan, and then she sobbed and cried.

Mr. Dong is more restrained and forbearing, but you can still see the tears shining in his eyes.

"What a pity the hearts of parents in the world!"

As soon as Daohua sighed, she felt her arm being pulled.

Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua eagerly: "You go down with me, otherwise I will be beaten at the gate." After saying that, without waiting for Daohua to agree, he opened the car curtain and dragged her out together.

Carriage.

Here, Mrs. Dong had just let go of her son and was wiping her tears. When she saw Dong Yuanyao getting off the carriage, she immediately rushed over in anger.

"Yiyi save me!"

Dong Yuanyao hid directly behind Daohua.

Daohua's face froze, and she swallowed when she saw Mrs. Dong, whose eyes were blazing with fire. When she was still three or four meters away from him, she curtsied and saluted: "Yi Yi pays homage to Aunt Dong, Aunt Wan'an."

When Mrs. Dong saw Daohua, she immediately put on a warm smile on her face, glared at her daughter who was hiding behind her, and affectionately stepped forward to take Daohua's hand: "We haven't seen each other for a year, and she is getting more and more beautiful as she grows older."

."

Being praised enthusiastically as soon as she came up, Daohua didn't know how to react. She could only lower her head and smile shyly, while glaring fiercely at Dong Yuanyao who was still hiding behind her.

Dong Yuanyao shrank his neck and smiled at Daohua in a flattering way.

You are my good sister. What are good sisters for?

Isn’t it just used to ward off anger?

Please be patient!

When Mrs. Dong saw that her husband had already led the young prince and others into the house, she couldn't talk about her daughter anymore. She could only smile and lead the rice flowers into the house, while throwing the cold knife at her daughter.

After that, everyone was led to see Mrs. Dong.

Mrs. Dong came here specially from the capital because her grandchildren were trapped in Xingyun Mansion. As soon as Dong Yuanxuan saw the old lady, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Even Dong Yuanyao didn't dare to mess around at this time. He went over to kneel down and kowtow to admit his mistake.

Considering that there were still foreigners, Mrs. Dong didn't say anything, and asked the Dong Yuanxuan brothers and sisters to get up, and then met the others with a smile.

When it was Daohua's turn to come forward to greet him, Mrs. Dong directly pulled Daohua to sit next to her, looked at her with a smile, and said to Mrs. Dong: "He is a neat child, and he is lovable at first sight.

”

Mrs. Dong immediately smiled and said: "Isn't it true? When I saw it, I fell in love with it."

Mrs. Dong looked at her mother-in-law behind her: "Go and get the Lantian Jade Hair Noodles I brought from the capital. It's a novel style and is just right for a little girl to wear."

Daohua was about to stand up and refuse, but Mrs. Dong held her down: "I cannot refuse the gift from the elders. The old lady likes you, so I have to accept it."

Seeing that Daohua was a little uncomfortable, Dong Yuanyao immediately sat on the other side of the old lady to help him out and said, "Grandma, don't you like Yuanyao? Daohua and I are sisters, and I want what she has."

Mrs. Dong tapped Dong Yuanyao's forehead: "You slutty monkey, I haven't punished you yet, but you are thinking about my good things." After saying that, she took Daohua's hand and said with a smile.

"Naturally, good things should be given to well-behaved and sensible girls. When will you learn to be gentle and gentle, come and ask me for something again."

After hearing this, Dong Yuanyao laughed out loud.

Daohua raised her eyebrows and looked over: "Why, do you have any objection to what the old lady said?"
