After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 747: Striving to Become the Second Xue Dongjia
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
The sound of joyous drums was loud and violent, and the street where the Xue family lived, the two nearby streets, and even the entire East City were filled with the sound of wild joyous music.

"My Lord Marquis, Lord Liang, Lord Yan, Lord Gu, Angel, Captain Wang... our family has prepared a small banquet. Please come over and have a few glasses of wine." Boss Xue made a polite invitation.

General Liang laughed and said, "Since we are here, and this is a rare happy event, and it is given by His Majesty, we must have a meal before leaving."

Lord Yan and Lord Gu are the top officials of Northeast Province. Originally, they did not need to give face to a fifth-rank official. But now that His Majesty wants to support Mr. Xue, and General Liang has spoken again, they naturally smiled and nodded: "On Lord Xue's big day, we naturally have to bother him."

Marquis Wenchang also said a few words to the eunuch who announced the imperial edict and Captain Wang of the Imperial Guard, and then they went to the Xue family for a banquet together.

Madam Xue entertained the wives of officials and the wives of the aristocratic families who stayed in the capital...but they, who originally looked down on the Xue family as merchants, were smart enough not to offend Madam Xue.

Still losing face?

Are you blind and didn’t you see Nanny Yan?
This is the nanny that His Majesty has given to Madam Xue. With her by Madam Xue's side, they must be crazy to make things difficult for Madam Xue.

……

The excitement of the Xue family's awarding of honor lasted the entire day, and until it was completely dark, there were still people bringing gifts to the Xue family to congratulate them.

But Mr. Xue and his wife never went to meet him in person. They just asked the doorman to register him and return the gift later.

But even though they closed the door and refused to see guests, Mr. Xue and his wife were still busy until midnight before they had time to eat.

"Have Yi'er and Nian'er rested? Have they been bullied today? Is there anyone with ulterior motives approaching them or trying to use them to lure them?" Mr. Xue and his wife asked while eating, for they were afraid that their two children would be taken advantage of in the chaos.

Nanny Meng, Second Nanny Xue, Nanny Xue, Butler Xue, Xue Lei and others lined up to reply: "Don't worry, my lord and madam. The people who came into contact with the young master and young lady today have been screened, and no one dares to harm the young master and young lady."

Several people reported several things in detail.

Mr. and Mrs. Xue listened to everything and made arrangements. They were busy until the last quarter of midnight before they rested.

The next day, the couple both slept late for an hour or so. After getting up, they hurriedly took their two children to the guest house to visit Mr. Meng and others, and accompanied the disabled Mr. Meng to have breakfast.

When Mr. Meng saw them, a smile welled up in his eyes and he opened his mouth again: "What?"

Having suffered from hemiplegia for many years, Mr. Xue and his wife understood what he meant and said with a smile, "Don't worry, everything is fine. The elders are very respectful and easy to talk to. Lord Yan also said that he has already set up a courtyard for me in the Provincial Administration Office, and my staff will work there in the future."

He was in charge of the merchants of the entire Northeast Province and was considered a provincial official. It was not appropriate for him to go to the capital government office, so he was asked to work in the provincial administration office.

After hearing this, Mr. Meng became very anxious.

Mr. Meng was also very worried: "Brother-in-law, will this be restricted everywhere? That's the Provincial Administration Office."

The capital government office is still a government office after all, and the highest-ranking official is the fourth-rank prefect Fei, but the governor, Lord Yan, is a second-rank official!
In fact, Xue Dongjia was also worried, but he smiled and said, "Since I have accepted the reward from His Majesty, I cannot bring shame to His Majesty. I will do my job well in uniting merchants and the people and increasing revenue for the court."

"In fact, this task is not that difficult. It just requires coordinating with local businesses and asking them to work harder during the war and not think about escaping."

"The imperial court has issued a ban on migration. They can't escape. They will definitely fight to protect Northeast Province."

"Order...the people below...are desperate...to the wall!" Mr. Meng meant that even if the imperial court issued an order, the people below might not necessarily obey it, and might even do something desperate.

"Weak..."

The son-in-law is still too weak and may not be able to suppress the merchants in the entire Northeast State.

However, Xue Dongjia smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry. Although 70% of the merchants in Northeast Province are from aristocratic families, they have obtained this 70% through embezzlement, and most of them are semi-slaves. But who would be willing to be a semi-slave if they have a bit of blood in their veins?"

"If we unite the semi-slave merchants and the common people merchants, and have the imperial court as a backer, I will definitely be able to accomplish my mission."

How many people were aroused by the glory of him being appointed an official yesterday?
After yesterday, seeing how he got benefits, which merchant would be willing to be a half-slave to the wealthy and powerful families?
I'm afraid that even if it takes risks, he still wants to make military achievements during the war, get an official title from the court, and become the second him!

Old Master Meng: “Shi...Kill!” But the powerful families would threaten the merchants in advance, in order to calm people’s restless hearts by killing them.

and also……

"You...were...killed!"

Mr. Meng was really becoming more and more afraid that his son-in-law would die a violent death.

Xue Dongjia consoled him, "Don't worry, father-in-law. I'll be fine. I will keep a high profile and make a big noise so that they won't dare to kill me."

"I have always been high-profile, so no one dares to kill me easily. Otherwise, it would be a public disgrace to Your Majesty. For the sake of your own face, Your Majesty will definitely make them pay the price."

But didn’t Your Majesty compromise and take three girls from aristocratic and powerful families as your imperial concubines?

However, what Mr. Xue said did make sense, and the Meng family, including Mrs. Xue and her son, felt much more relieved.

Knock, knock, knock. Butler Xue knocked on the gate. After being let in, he said to Xue Dongjia, "Sir, Master Li from the Chang Family Grain Shop, Wang Family Charcoal Shop, and Down Shop in the capital is here to congratulate you."

"Li Zhen?!" Xue Dongjia asked, with surprise in his eyes.

Butler Xue nodded happily: "It is Master Li Zhen."

Xue Dongjia immediately stood up and said to the Meng family, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and second brother, woolen goods are essential items for keeping warm, comparable to cotton. I have to go see Li Zhen in person and get the necessary items such as cold-weather items, food, and charcoal."

In wartime, these things can save lives.

"Go!" Mr. Meng said hurriedly.

"Jing Niang, please spend more time with your parents-in-law. I'm going to meet Li Zhen first... Brother Yi will come too." Xue Dongjia didn't want to take his son with him, for fear that his son would be used by old foxes like Li Zhen.

But taking my son with me is also a sign of sincerity.

Besides, Yi'er has reached the age where he needs to support the family, so he needs to be taken out more often to broaden his horizons.

"Yes." Xue Mingyi stood up, bowed to the Meng family, and went to meet the guests with his father.

Mrs. Xue was also very busy and didn't have much time to spend with her parents, so she had to leave after breakfast.

Before leaving, Old Lady Meng handed her a letter: "Your father dictated this, and we wrote it down for him. It took us almost two years to write it down in bits and pieces. Take it back and read it carefully."

Mrs. Xue had a hunch that it was about her and Xue Zhui, but looking at the white-haired old lady Meng, her paralyzed father, and thinking of her deceased elder brother, Mrs. Xue really...

"Jingniang, please look carefully. This is all your father's hard work." Old Mrs. Meng said, stuffing the letter into her hand, pushing her and asking her to leave.

Mrs. Xue was stunned for a moment before leaving with Sister Nian.

She wanted to wait until she was done with her work and read it at night, but she was feeling restless at the moment and could not help but open the letter and read it.

As she watched, Mrs. Xue burst into tears.

The son-in-law was wrong, but you were more wrong.

You taking the initiative to separate yourself from your son-in-law will only make your loved ones sad and your enemies happy!

Your elder brother got into trouble, and your mother and I got into trouble. It wasn't Ah Zhui's fault, but you blamed it all on him. How can this be justified? !

Jingniang, you were taught by your father, shouldn't your vision, your brain, and your heart be like this?
In this world, no normal person would dwell on an accident for ten years. You should let it go.
