Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Old Yang couldn't stop her, so he just ignored her and let her go.

Although Yang Huazhong knew that sending the old lady to the town was just Qing'er's delaying tactic, he could still arrange for the old lady to stay at Mei'er's place for a few days, just like visiting relatives.

Yang Huazhong took out two taels of silver from his pocket, plus a string of copper coins, the number of copper coins was nearly two hundred coins. He walked to the cabinet and stuffed the silver and his companions into Tan's hands.

"Mom, take this money with you. When you get to town, look for anything missing in Mei'er's house and buy some for her." Yang Huazhong said.

Mrs. Tan is going to her daughter's house tomorrow. The old lady is in a good mood at the moment. When she saw Yang Huazhong stuffing money into her pocket, she actually felt compassion for him.

She pushed the money back to Yang Huazhong and said, "You don't need to give it to me. Your father and I have money. We will pay for your sister's confinement and the food we buy for her. We don't need you to pay for it!"

Old Yang at the side also said: "Yes, Third Brother, don't give us any more money. You have already given us a lot of New Year's money and filial piety money during the New Year. Your mother and I still have money!"

As for how many there are exactly, the old man has no idea.

Ever since he and the old lady reconciled and moved back to the old house to live together again, the old man has handed over all the money that his children and grandchildren gave to him as filial piety to the old lady.

If you want to buy something, the old lady will allocate funds.

Of course, Old Yang didn't have much to buy. His only consumption was cigarettes and alcohol. As for cigarettes and alcohol, his children, grandchildren, and younger generations of his relatives and friends who came to visit him all brought cigarettes and alcohol, so the old man had nothing to spend money on.

Yang Huazhong said: "Your money is yours, you can take this too. It's always good to bring a little more with you!"

Old Yang was a straightforward old man who didn't like to push and pull, so he said to Tan: "Since the third brother said so, you should take it. If you don't spend it, you can just bring it back!"

Tan's personality is the kind that, even if she is willing to refuse something at first, once she has accepted it, there is no reason for her to take it back.

"I'll take it. When Mei'er is in confinement after giving birth, I'll buy her some food. Whatever is left over will be good enough!"

What this meant was to hint to Yang Huazhong that since he had received the money, he had to spend it.

Yang Huazhong smiled innocently: "Mom, just make your own arrangements!"

Tan collected the money carefully, then praised Yang Ruoqing highly, and made an appointment with Yang Huazhong for another hour before sending Yang Huazhong back to the village.

At night, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang brought their two children to her parents' home for a meal.

Luo Baobao has returned to the camp, and Jinling has also returned to Huguang County. As the flood recedes, everyone's life gradually returns to normal.

The reason why I went back to the third room for dinner tonight was because Da'an would go to Changhuai Prefecture alone tomorrow.

As for the reason, it was because the imperial court had issued an order to transfer Da'an, and Da'an would ride on horseback to the post station in Changhuai Prefecture to welcome him. He could not let the person who delivered the imperial edict come to the village, as the journey would be too tiring.

"I don't know what the imperial edict says. It really makes me sweat!"

Although the courtyard door and the main room door were closed tightly, Yang Huazhong's expression was still very solemn when he talked about this matter.

Sun, who was standing by, couldn't stop worrying, and it was all written on her face.

Daan comforted them: "Don't worry, Dad and Mom. I am upright and have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of the imperial decree."

As for what the imperial edict might contain, Daan actually had some guesses. Probably starting from the year before last, he and his sister and brother-in-law had discussed for a long time, linking official career with family. As the eldest son in the family, Daan made a decision as he watched his parents grow older year by year.

That is to ask the emperor to send him to a province or county to serve as a local official.

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang agreed with Daan's choice.

Going down to be an official would definitely be more convenient in terms of taking care of the family. The capital is too far away, tens of thousands miles away from home.

If Daan could come home to be an official, at least the journey back would be relatively shorter.

Furthermore, serving as an official in the local area is also a kind of experience for Yu Daan's career.

He has been staying in the Hanlin Academy over the years. The Hanlin Academy is a low-income government office where a group of scholars study together every day. Although it is a clean institution, there is not much test on personal ability, which makes it a pity that a hero has no place to use his talents.

Every time he went home to visit his relatives, Da'an was actually envious when he saw that Dajie, who was a juren, could become the county magistrate of Huguang County and become the local official, actually managing the county's finances, economy, people's livelihood, and rule of law, and fully displaying his abilities and ambitions!

Therefore, Da'an guessed that the content of this imperial edict might be arrangements in this regard. After all, before returning home to visit his relatives a few years ago, Emperor Qi Xingyun had secretly summoned him into the palace and chatted with him in the Shangshufang for almost half an hour.

Although the emperor did not say it explicitly at the time, he hinted at it in his words, and also gave Da'an a brush that he himself used to mark memorials.

Daan naturally did not hide these things from Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang.

So at this moment at the dinner table, Yang Ruoqing and her husband were also insiders.

However, if one knows the truth, he cannot reveal it in advance. If he does, and it is spread by people with ulterior motives, it may be distorted into people's arbitrary interpretation of the emperor's intentions.

No matter whether the emperors of ancient and modern times had a life-and-death friendship with you when they were young, or whether he was once one of your suitors.

For an adult, for a man who grew up in an imperial family, power is always the most important thing and the thing that needs to be grasped the most.

Women and friendship are just embellishments.

However, Yang Huazhong and Sun Shi didn't know that their daughter had almost become a concubine, and they had almost become the father-in-law of the emperor...

  But so what?

For a concubine born in the countryside, it would be difficult for her to remain in favor and protect her family, no matter how capable Yang Ruoqing was.

Besides, her personality does not allow her to compete for favor with a group of women, and she has no interest in Qi Xingyun.

Only Luo Fengtang is her destined match.

Qi Xingyun was originally a scheming person, even when he was a prince.

Now that he has been an emperor for so many years, his mind is as deep as the sea, so it is hard to guess his arrangements from this imperial edict.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry too much. We in Da'an are incorruptible and never give others leverage. The emperor will only appreciate and use people like him. It is impossible for him to be punished for no reason."

Yang Ruoqing didn't want her parents to worry too much and get upset, so she tried to comfort them in a roundabout way.

"Let's wait patiently. When Da'an arrives in Changhuai Prefecture tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and meets the people above, we can ask him to pass the news home as soon as possible!" (End of this chapter)
