novelYour Imperial Eminence
| ← Ch.082 | Ch.084 → |
After the Village Chief arrived, he looked at the County Magistrate and then at the Registrar Official. There was no time to bother with him; as the Village Chief, he couldn't just follow a small official and talk to him. This was a matter of principle.
If the magistrate didn't show up and was only given a small official, the village chief would definitely invite him to his house to eat and drink. However, he could still treat these people to a good meal and drink, but ... Conversation didn't work.
After all, if his son wanted to raise rabbits, he, an old man, couldn't count on him to sell anything.
"I'm not sure yet, but it should be a good thing. Look at Zhang Tiehzhu smiling, his back teeth are showing."
"That's right, this useless fellow is actually laughing like this just because he's met with some serious trouble. No matter how I look at it, he's unable to bear the burden."
"..." Ning Yan laughed and did not say a word.
The Village Chief was also planning to scold him in a roundabout manner. Fortunately, he was scolding people in the same manner as he was scolding others. However, he did not have any intention of harming others out of jealousy.
Because of this, Ning Yan looked down on the village head.
The magistrate released Zhang Tiehzhu's hand, and then spoke.
Everyone fell to their knees.
Ning Yan...
Ning Yan did not want to kneel, but the village chief tugged at Ning Yan: "This is an imperial edict, hurry up and kneel."
Alright, as usual, Ning Yan was not the same as usual, she tidied up her clothes before kneeling down.
As expected, the magistrate opened the yellow scroll in his hands and began to recite the words.
Then, he placed the scroll in his hand in Zhang Tiehzhu's hands: "Kid, you have to keep your head."
Zhang Tiehzhu nodded nervously.
As for the spirit, a blacksmith wouldn't be able to understand a word he said.
When the magistrate left, he left behind two house deeds, a note worth a hundred taels of silver, and the imperial edict.
His Gouzi Bay instantly became famous. The imperial edict was hung in the ancestral hall by the village head. The villagers all went to the ancestral hall to admire the imperial edict.
Zhang Tiehzhu's new wife laughed happily every day.
When Aunt Huang brought his wife to recognize someone, the first thing she did was to go to Ning Yan's courtyard.
"Girl Ning, this is my Tiehzhu's wife, you better take care of her in the future."
"..." Ning Yan's expression was a little hard to describe.
After all, he should be looking for her, right?
"Sister Ning, please guide me."
"..." Looking at Mrs. Mu's embarrassed face, Ning Yan thought she had seen wrongly. On the day of the bridal ceremony, the one who spoke so straightforwardly was this guy, yet with her shy look and clear face, was she really the same person?
"Girl Ning, we will be moving to the county city another day. The county magistrate gave us a house contract and a storefront, at Crossroads Street in the county."
"Then congratulations, aunty. You're so lucky. Not many people in our village have real estate in the county." Seeing the Mrs. Huang's proud look, Ning Yan almost laughed.
Ning Yan understood Aunt Huang's mentality very well. She wanted to return home in glory, so that she could receive an envious gaze.
Give it to me, I don't want money for the eyes.
As for the Mrs. Mu beside him, Ning Yan did not care about provoking him.
Aunt Huang chanted for a long time until her mouth was completely dry. Then, he turned around and left, probably because she had enjoyed enough gazes from Ning Yan.
On the way back, he knocked on the Mrs. Mu.
"Girl Ning is a powerful being, she has given us quite a bit of help, you can't go against him for the sake of those little thoughts ..."
Mrs. Mu lowered her head in agreement.
In the end, he no longer had any thoughts of talking.
After returning home, Zhang Tiehzhu was waiting in the courtyard. When he saw his wife, he revealed a big smile.
Stupid...
Mrs. Huang was a little angry. She thought that Mrs. Mu was easy to deal with and did not have a good temper, but the current situation did not seem right.
The one being pinched seemed to be his foolish son. Mrs. Mu usually had her head lowered and her face red, but even if she didn't say anything, his son would still take the initiative to send the best person in the family over.
For example, the roasted chicken at home, the chicken drumstick would be immediately torn off by his son and given to Mrs. Mu.
For example, the high-quality silk that the county magistrate sent home was also placed in Mrs. Mu's dowry by her son.
Typically, having a wife makes you forget your mother.
Mrs. Huang was angry in her heart, but what could she do?
Not to mention having one in his stomach, even a normal person wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
If you think about it carefully, it's just picking up good food for your pregnant wife to eat.
It's no big deal.
But Mrs. Huang just could not stand the two of them.
Ning Yan was often held back by the Aunt Huang these few days, and it took a long time for him to complain, "I'm really silly and sincere. I only know that it's not good to be a spicy woman, but I don't know that ..."
"..." There shouldn't be a Xiang Lin sister-in-law here, right?
Ning Yan was pondering.
Aunt Huang who had finished ridiculing Yue Yang felt carefree in her heart. She carried her bamboo basket and rushed home, not a single trace of melancholy on her face anymore.
After a few tries, Ning Yan finally had an idea. In Aunt Huang's eyes, she was just like a trash can, after Aunt Huang voiced out the unhappiness in her heart, she patted her bottom, saying that nothing had happened.
However, she ...
"Mom, let's go to the back of the mountain to pick up the fruits."
"What fruit?" Ning Yan was currently filling up her kitchen with sausages, and had more than enough time to run in from outside. She tugged on Ning Yan's sleeves and acted in a soft and spoiled manner.
"There are Begonia Fruits and Wild Grapes."
"Grape?" Ning Yan had run up the mountain so many times, but she had never seen a single grape.
"Right, right! Behind the spring water on the mountain!" The more he spoke, the more excited he got. Especially when she saw that Ning Yan had also displayed interest, she pulled Ning Yan and walked out.
Ning Yan followed along and walked into the courtyard. She stopped and patted her clothes: I'm going up the mountain, you're not going!
"What?" The smile on her face slowly froze.
Ning Yan repeated: "There's a wolf on the mountain. You can't go, and have you finished writing today?"
Ning Yan was very happy to bully a little kid.
Carrying the basket on his back, he walked up the mountain.
The begonias are rather far away from the forest, no wonder she had to call her to go with me, my child still has a sense of safety.
But how did my child know that there were Begonia fruits here?
Ning Yan's mind flashed with the dark Zhou Yi. This guy looked just like his heart, completely black.
Seeing that the tree only had a little red plum, Ning Yan picked a few and put them into her mouth, frowning. Not ripe yet.
After picking a few, Ning Yan gave up. These small fruits were not ripe yet, and they were sour and astringent, simply not tasty.
Ning Yan started wandering around the mountain with the basket on her back. The moment she saw the string of Mountain Grape, Ning Yan's eyes lit up.
This... Good stuff, you can make your own wine.
But... This was not the season for grapes. Looking up at the sky, he could see that the air was still hot and dry.
Autumn was coming.
Are there any more grapes at this time of day?
After thinking about it, Ning Yan eventually blamed it on the different varieties. Who knows, maybe the grapes on the mountain all matured because of it.
