Chapter 186 The Reward Decree Arrives

This arrangement was a complete surprise for Mu Si.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, silently tapped Mu Er with his elbow, looked at him, and reluctantly responded.

"My subordinates know."

Su Mo didn't know that someone had accidentally guessed Gu Qinhan's whereabouts. She was currently busy making clothes for Gu Qinhan.

Gu Jinnian went back and forth into the house many times. He didn't say anything when he went in. He just pursed his lips and looked at the sewing basket next to Su Mo.

Gu Qinhan was standing in the yard, looking through the window and clearly seeing the gloominess on Gu Jinnian's face. He curled his lips and had a proud look on his brows.

Three days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Su Mo prepared the incense table early and woke up the three children. After they got dressed, he helped them tie up their hair.

Su Mo didn't know if the black armor guard would come with the new county magistrate this time. To be on the safe side, she found Gu Qinhan and asked him to go to Xishan for a stroll.

"Today the county magistrate comes home. It's a serious matter. You go to Xishan to take shelter. When it's over, I will pick you up and go home."

Gu Qinhan was a little reluctant and looked down at Su Mo.

"I don't want to go..."

Su Mo raised his eyes slightly and looked into his eyes.

His brown eyes were so clear that they could only accommodate her.

Su Mo was suddenly confused. She tried hard to hold back the strange emotions in her heart and bit her tongue. The tingling sensation made her wake up.

Su Mo had a well-placed smile on his face, and subconsciously, like coaxing a child, he stood up on tiptoes, trying to rub Gu Qinhan's head.

But he found that Gu Qinhan was really a bit tall, so his hand in the air paused slightly, and finally fell on his shoulder.

"Be good and be obedient."

Her tone of voice was too gentle, and her behavior was like coaxing a naughty and rebellious big dog.

Gu Qinhan's eyes slanted slightly and fell on the long white hand on his shoulder, feeling a little strange.

But he still agreed.

Without him, it was just because Gu Qinhan felt that he could not refuse Su Mo.

Not far from the west mountain, Gu Qinhan turned back three times with each step and reluctantly went up the mountain, carrying a small basket on his back.

Su Mo had taught him how to recognize many kinds of wild vegetables in the past few days, and the injuries on his left and right sides were almost healed. He went for a walk in the mountains and picked some wild vegetables.

At around four o'clock in the morning, Su Mo heard the sound of firecrackers and the sound of drums coming from the entrance of the village.

She put away all Gu Qinhan's things, closed the door and went out. Then she called Gu Ping'an and the other three to help arrange their clothes.

The incense case has been prepared a long time ago. According to the village chief's instructions, the incense case is placed in the hall.

The women and children in the village gathered around Gu's house, and the surroundings were bustling. Several people from the Chen family who were friends with Su Mo even brought gifts.

"This is a great joy. Please accept it if you feel a little thoughtful."

Mrs. Li also came back, leading several people and handing the basket to Su Mo.

The fatigue on her face has not dissipated, and the dark blue under her eyes is clearly visible, but the joy for Su Mo on her face is also real.

Seeing her look like this, Su Mo didn't refuse after all. He took the basket and handed it to Gu Ping'an, and asked Gu Jinnian to help take it in too.

Then he held Li with his backhand.

Li's hand was very cold, Su Mo pursed her lips and patted the back of her hand gently.

"Sister-in-law, I know everything about that, and everything will be fine."

Warmth spread from the back of her hand to the tip of her heart. Li's eyes turned slightly red and she nodded heavily.

The sound of firecrackers and drum music gradually came closer. Su Mo was no longer standing with Mrs. Li, but was leading the three children and waiting at the door.

The music players have already arrived at the door of Gu's house, with one row on each side.

As the last firecracker was lit, an official sedan carried by four people appeared in everyone's sight.

Mu Si, who was wearing black attire, and Man Yi, who was wearing the official uniform of a government official, followed the sedan to the left and right. Behind him were the uniform government officials, the village chief and the men in the village.

They followed the village chief and went to meet the imperial decree.

Su Mo recognized Mu Si's face. After seeing it from a distance, his eyes flashed slightly and he didn't panic at all.

The official sedan stopped, and Xiao Jin, dressed in official uniform, came out, holding the imperial edict in his hands.

Xiao Jin walked into the courtyard gate and opened the imperial edict written on yellow silk paper, "Mr. Gu Su accepts the edict."

After the words fell, Su Mo in the yard and all the villagers outside knelt down one after another based on the situation that had been discussed yesterday.

Su Mo, "Women of the common people respectfully listen to the edict, long live long live long live."

Xiao Jin's eyes swept over Su Mo, who had her head lowered, and the three children behind her, and finally landed on the imperial edict.

"The Gu family in Luoshan Village, Coastal County, Yizhou Prefecture today has a wife..."

The content of the imperial edict was very long, and most of it contained words of praise. Although Su Mo was kneeling, his back was straight.

It wasn't until about two quarters of an hour ago that I finally finished speaking.

"...

The decree is issued on the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Emperor Yong of the Yuan Dynasty."

Su Mo didn't hear a word of what the imperial edict praised. He only heard that she was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver.

With joy on his brows, Su Mo kowtowed three times and bowed nine times to receive the imperial edict. As for the silver reward carried by the Yamen servant, he put it all into the hall.

Xiao Jin didn't stay long and left after reading out the imperial edict. Su Mo noticed with sharp eyes that Mu Si was missing, and his heart moved slightly.

Mu Si also had bad luck. He carefully checked all the houses of the Gu family and found no sign of Gu Qinhan.

He was a little decadent, his eyebrows drooped, thinking that this shouldn't be the case.

How could he make a mistake in his calculation?

Mu Si left unhappy.

Gu Qinhan was not happy either. He bent down to pick the wild vegetables and put them into the basket, thinking to himself, "Why doesn't she come to pick me up?"

Many people from the Wang family want to go in and see what the imperial edict looks like, and also want to see the beauty of these one thousand taels of silver.

But they were all stopped by the village chief.

His eyes fell on the royal family leader who was hiding behind the crowd, and he said lightly, "Clan leader, I remember that your home also has more than ten acres of saline-alkali land?"

The implication is, it's better not to offend Gu Su so much. Your saline-alkali land still needs improvement measures.

The royal family chief suddenly became a little confused. With a grimace, he drove back those who were making noises and walked back angrily.

It's just good luck that I got into the Gu Su family. What's there to be proud of? When Wang Xiucai is admitted to the Juren Examination, he will definitely destroy your prestige and prestige, Chen Wenzheng!

Su Mo didn't like the Wang family very much either. Seeing them being sent away by the village chief, Su Mo raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

But when he was almost gone, he waved his hand, smiled at the village chief and Mrs. Li, and said,

"Uncle, this was only possible because of your support. I am very happy today. In the afternoon, a few people will come to help me buy two pigs. I will kill the chickens and pigs tomorrow and treat everyone to a meal."

When the people around him heard this, their faces lit up with joy.

The village chief did not show politeness to Su Mo. He turned around with a smile and looked at his clan members, "Have you heard that? You are not allowed to shout anymore tomorrow. You all came to help of your own accord."

"I heard it!"

Li and the others agreed the loudest.

To buy pigs, you have to go to the county. The village chief asked Su Mo to enshrine the imperial edict and then took over all other matters.

"This is also a great event for the village. You go and enshrine the imperial edict. Don't worry about the rest. Leave it to your uncle."

Su Mo was still thinking about Gu Qinhan on the mountain. Hearing this, he smiled and agreed.

"Then I'll trouble you uncle."

The matter was settled just like that.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the Wang family.
