The Ups and Downs of Mrs. Yipin

Chapter 139
Ever since announcing her engagement with the Cheng family, Fang Xiuyi had thought about tidying up the courtyard in the south for Cheng Pingzhen to live in, and when they grew up, it would be the place where they got married.But as the Spring Festival is approaching, it is not advisable to do too many things. After discussing with Lian Zixin, Fang Xiuyi drew a sketch. Cheng Pingzhen can rest here when he comes to play.

In a blink of an eye, it will be the New Year.

Since Siyuan was going to take part in the examination and would join the army in the next year or two, Fang Xiuyi paid special attention to this festival, and they didn't have much time to get together.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, Wen Renyi came over for dinner without hesitation, and Fang Xiuyi didn't want to complain too much. No matter what purpose Wen Renyi had, he couldn't be driven away on the first day of the new year.However, this year's first day is a little different.

After everyone had finished their breakfast, Siyuan came over with a box in his arms.

"Siyuan, are you eating well?"

"Mother, Fei Yu, we all ate very well."

"Brother, have you eaten any copper coins?"

Siyuan smiled and shook his head, "It's still the same, it's all given to Master Wen."

Fei Yu stopped talking and sat there depressed.Fang Xiuyi is also speechless, does this person have a halo on his head?

"By the way, Siyuan, what are you holding in your hand?"

Siyuan put the box on the table, "Master Wen gave this to Fei Yu."

"Give it to me?" Fei Yu was incredulous.

"For Fei Yu?" Fang Xiuyi was also surprised.

"Actually, it was a box for each of the three of us. He was so clumsy that he hugged and played with it, and couldn't put it down."

"What is it?" Fei Yu asked.

"You'll know when you open it up and take a look."

Fei Yu seemed to be a little excited and expectant, first stroked the pattern on the box, and then opened the buckle, and the inside was suddenly glittering with gold.

"Ah, it's gold!" Fang Xiu saw clearly what was inside.

Inside the box were ten flowers made of gold, with several gold leaves set off beneath the flowers.

Fei Yu picked up one and looked at it carefully.This is a lotus flower, which is very finely made, and the lotus leaves are laid underneath, which looks very pleasing to the eye.

"Siyuan, does Master Wen have anything to say?"

"Master Wen said that he has always disturbed us on the first day of the new year in recent years. He wants to express his gratitude."

"It seems that Mr. Wen is really rich and powerful. It's just a few dumplings, so generous!"

"When I saw Fei Yu's, I realized that the things Mr. Wen gave us were different. Sizhuo and I got ten ingots. I didn't expect Fei Yu's to be such a beautiful flower."

"It seems that Mr. Wen also has a heart."

"Brother, did daddy tell me to go and thank Lord Wen?" Fei Yu asked with a golden flower in his hand.

"Master Wen said no need. However, Mr. Wen wants to invite mother to Dad's study to talk about something important."

"Me?" Fang Xiu looked at the two children, "Then you wait here first, I'll be back when I go."

As soon as Fang Xiu stepped into the study, he saw He Huai'an sitting on a thick carpet under his feet, sitting thoughtfully on it, holding two gold ingots in his hands, having so much fun that his saliva flowed onto the gold ingots, Open mouth, smiling happily, it seems that he is also a little money fan.

"Master Wen, happy new year!" Fang Xiuyi saluted Wen Renyi.

"Madam He, be polite!" Wen Renyi stood up and clasped her fists in a very formal manner.

Fang Xiu took a look at He Huai'an, He Huai'an nodded and smiled at her, it should be a good thing.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Wen has?"

"I don't dare to give advice. Wen Mou came here today as well."

"By order?" Fang Xiuyi asked in surprise, she really didn't want to have any more contact with this emperor.

"Yes." Wen Renyi said, "Please don't be nervous, Mrs. He. It's a good thing. Please sit down and talk to Mrs. He."

Fang Xiuyi sat beside He Huai'an, dragged the box thoughtfully, climbed to Fang Xiuyi's feet, and continued to play with gold ingots.

"Mrs. He, do you still remember what happened to Xiyue Nunnery?"

"Forget each other and never forget!"

"Wen knows that Mrs. He has gone through hardships, but there are always good things for Mrs. He." Wen Renyi took out a yellow scroll, "This is the imperial decree. Your Majesty has explained it. You don't need to set up a case to announce the decree. Please ask Mrs. He to read it yourself." .”

Fang Xiuyi was stunned, there is such an operation!She glanced at He Huai'an, and after receiving comfort and acquiescence, she took the imperial edict tremblingly, and slowly opened it.

The emperor's handwriting is not bad, and it is very beautiful, but it may be dictated by the emperor and written by some courtier.

Fang Xiu read it again and again, and after reading it three times, she finally understood the meaning.It's not that the imperial decree is so obscure and difficult to understand, the main reason is that Fang Xiuyi is very nervous, and only sees the words in his mind, but doesn't understand the meaning.

The general idea of ​​the imperial decree is that Fang Xiuyi not only saved his companions in the Xiyue nunnery incident last time, but also helped the court destroy a criminal den. He made great contributions, so Fang Xiuyi was named a first-class wife again.

Fang Xiuyi still looked at the imperial decree a few more times, and then looked at the two men in disbelief.

"Xiuyi, you earned this imperial order on your own!" He Huai'an said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Mrs. He!" Wen Renyi also said.

"Hehe, this is really an accident. Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fang Xiuyi put together the imperial decree and asked He Huai'an, "Sir, do I need to enter the palace to face the saint?"

"Your Majesty has already issued an announcement from the Ministry of Rites, but considering Mrs. He has children to take care of, there is no need to enter the palace to thank you." Wen Renyi said, "In addition, His Majesty thinks Mrs. He has made great contributions, so he gave some rewards in private."

As soon as Fang Xiu opened her eyes wide, the reward should be rewarded, and it should be done in private!
Wen Renyi took out another small cloth bag, which was very inconspicuous, "Madam He please accept it!"

Fang Xiu rolled up the imperial decree and put it on the desk, and then took the cloth bag carefully. I don't know what it contains. The things given by the emperor are so inconspicuous from the outside. He looked into Fei's eyes.

"Can you open it and have a look?"

"Of course, it's for you."

Although the color and style of this small cloth bag is very ordinary, the embroidery is exquisite, and every stitch and thread can be seen to be from the hands of famous masters.As soon as Fang Xiu opened the cloth bag, there was a thick stack of bills inside, which were issued by a large bank, and the amount of each bill was 500 taels. Fang Xiuyi didn't know how many bills there were.

"This is a bill of 10 taels of gold, Madam He can exchange it by herself."

Fang Xiuyi felt that the thing in his hand was getting hot, so he quickly put it on the table, rubbed his hands, and dared not take it.

"I didn't actually do anything. What happened that day was just a coincidence. If I can help His Majesty, that's what I should do. I really can't thank you."

"Only His Majesty and the people in this room know about this matter, and Madam He please accept it with peace of mind. Your Majesty's kindness, it is inconvenient to refuse."

Fang Xiuyi wasn't sure, she looked at He Huai'an.

"Since it is His Majesty's kind intention, you can take it."

As soon as Fang Xiu looked at the thick stack of bills, her heart pounded and her heart beat faster. This is 10 taels of gold. One can imagine how much gold there will be in that tunnel!

"Doesn't this require me to enter the palace to thank you?"

"No need, His Majesty specifically explained, I hope Mrs. He can rest at home and recuperate."

Fang Xiu touched her nose subconsciously. Wen Renyi's implication, or the emperor's own meaning, was that she caused too many troubles when she went out, so it was better to stay at home.

"Haha, then please Mr. Wen convey my thanks to His Majesty on my behalf."

"I will."

After Wen Renyi left, Fang Xiuyi became the same as Si Zhuo. Si Zhuo was holding the gold ingot and chewing on it. She was holding a stack of bills, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy.

"My lord, tell me, is His Majesty really thanking me?"

"Given you so much gold, how dare you question His Majesty's sincerity?" He Huai'an sat holding Si Zhuo on his lap.

"Of course I don't dare to question Your Majesty, but I just can't believe it. I actually have 10 taels of gold! Hehe, I didn't even dare to dream about it before."

"Don't dream, it's all real."

"Thank you sir, it's all thanks to you."

"What does it have to do with me? You deserve it yourself." He Huai'an wanted to take the gold ingot from Si Zhuo's hand, but in vain.

"Of course it is. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone to that place. Where would I have the chance to discover that secret." Fang Xiu carefully packed the things, "My lord, are these really mine? Can I Full authority?"

"Of course, they all belong to me, and have nothing to do with the mansion."

"Then I have to plan carefully. It's really not easy to handle so much money well."

"Since you are so distressed, would you like to listen to my advice?"

"My lord has a good idea? Say it!"

"You might as well exchange all these into gold, and then build a gold house, and we live in it together, that should be very good."

"Huh? Build a golden house? I don't want to. After building a house, it will become a dead thing. I can't pick the threshold today and the windows tomorrow to exchange money, right?"

"Oh, my life is really miserable. My wife has so much gold, she doesn't even want to build a gold house for me! Si Zhuo, tell me, is my father's life bad?" He Huai'an joked.

Where Si Zhuo understood, he followed He Huai'an's words and said, "Father, good!"

"Little thing, your father is good, but your mother is not? In this case, you can stay with your father, and I will send money to your brothers and sisters!" Fang Xiu pinched her pensive face and wiped her face. Wiping the saliva of thinking, he took the receipt and left.
