Chapter 440 Hilltop
The gold mine was found by the Jiang family, and Jiang Wanying was made the county head because of it. To be honest, Daohua was extremely unconvinced, but after learning about the assassination of the Jiang family, she instantly sobered up.
The injustice in my heart disappeared instantly.
The credit for the gold mine is great, but there are also many people involved. If she is the one who is made the county head, then their family may be the one who is assassinated.
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao returned home on the third day after the Yan family received the imperial edict, followed by Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan, Su Hongxin and others who came to congratulate them.
Xiao Yeyang, along with Dong Yuanxuan and others, had just met the elders of the Yan family. Before they could finish a cup of tea, they saw Daohua wink at him.
After Daohua left the house, Xiao Yeyang sat for a while, chatted with the old lady for a few words, and then found an excuse to leave.
Dong Yuanxuan watched the two people leave one after another, his expression a little gloomy.
Just now, Sister Yan winked at the young prince, and he saw the natural intimacy and understanding in their eyes, which made him a little stunned.
What happened in the past two months?
Even when she passed the examination for literature studies, Sister Yan was deliberately avoiding the young prince. Why did the relationship between the two become so close after not seeing each other for a while?
Dong Yuanxuan's eyes drooped slightly. Ever since the young prince built the Liulichang, he had obviously spent less time with them. As he got older, he began to help his father do what he could, and he no longer went to the military camp often.
.
The less we interact with each other, the less we will know about each other.
Now that he saw the young prince, he found that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to guess his thoughts. Even Wen Tao and Wen Kai spoke much more strictly.
Some time ago, the two of them had not been to the military camp for a while, but when he and Su Hongxin were asked, they were stunned and did not reveal a single bit of information.
Hey, my former friends have all grown up and matured in their own ways.
......
In the pavilion in front of the back garden of Yan Mansion, when Wang Manyer arrived with Xiao Yeyang, Daohua had already cooked tea.
Xiao Yeyang walked into the pavilion and took a closer look at Daohua's face. Seeing that her expression was peaceful and showed no signs of anger or displeasure, he felt relieved and sat down next to her, minding his own business and whispered: "From the gold mine."
The matter...Uncle Huang has his own considerations, so he did not reward you. It is only temporary. I will find an opportunity to mention it to Uncle Huang again in the future."
Daohua shook her head: "No, the emperor has already made my grandmother and mother his royal wives, which can be regarded as a reward for me. It would be a bit foolish to ask for rewards again."
Not only in ancient times when imperial power was supreme here, but also in modern times, there is no absolute fairness.
Through this gold mine reward, she also clearly realized that the imperial power was taken away. Even if the emperor did not reward her grandmother and mother this time, what could she do?
After saying that, Daohua's expression straightened and she looked at Xiao Yeyang: "Do you know about the assassination of the Jiang family?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I know." After what happened, he went to visit Jiang's house. Mrs. Jiang was seriously injured, and cousin Wanying was also frightened. Both of them still can't get out of bed.<
/p>
Daohua: "...They were assassinated because they found a gold mine?"
Seeing Xiao Yeyang nodding, Daohua's heart suddenly tightened.
The killer even dared to touch the Jiang family. If they knew that she had found the gold mine, it would be hard for her to imagine what would happen to the Yan family.
After a moment of silence, Daohua asked again: "Are they the people who assassinated Mr. Wu before?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded again and saw Daohua frowning. In order to reassure her, he explained to her carefully: "Uncle Duan Wang wanted to return to the court by handing over the gold mine, but he was intercepted by the Jiang family.
After killing Hu, the loss was too great, and naturally he felt unhappy, so he decided to assassinate him."
Daohua pondered for a moment and then asked tentatively: "The relationship between the Emperor... and the Jiang family is not very good, right?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and was surprised by her sensitivity. It was only through this incident that he saw clearly that Uncle Huang disliked the Jiang family so much.
Seeing that he remained silent, Daohua knew in her heart that this was his acquiescence. In an instant, the doubts in her heart were cleared. The reason why the Jiang family was able to find the gold mine was most likely leaked to them by the emperor.
Yes, having one disciple and two queens is both an honor and a threat.
Xiao Yeyang picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and said while pouring: "Don't think about the gold mine anymore. I have also told your two brothers. Now Uncle Huang has sent people to take over the gold mine.
Okay, this matter is over."
Daohua nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that she was still grimacing, Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: "I came here this time and brought you some gifts. Do you want to guess what they are?"
Daohua raised her eyes and looked over. Seeing his calm presence, she was speechless and a little amused. Her tense mood due to the assassination of the Jiang family slowly relaxed, and she asked with a smile: "What is it?"
p>
Seeing her smile, Xiao Yeyang felt relieved. He picked up the tea cup leisurely, took a sip slowly, and said with a smile: "I told you to guess."
Daohua pursed her lips: "Eat it? Or use it? Is it for fun? Or is it some new product from Liulichang?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and shook his head: "Nothing is right, keep guessing."
Daohua's eyes lit up: "Did you find some new seeds or something?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head again.
Seeing that everything she said was wrong, Daohua lost interest and was too lazy to guess any more. She picked up the tea and gave Xiao Yeyang a look: "I don't like to talk."
Xiao Yeyang was a little helpless and looked at Daohua with a smile: "I have asked Defu to give the things to Man'er. You should be able to see them when you return to the yard later."
Daohua was curious: "Then I'll go back and take a look now." After saying that, she got up and left.
Xiao Yeyang quickly grabbed her: "You called me out, so you have to drink a few cups of tea with me before leaving."
Daohua replied directly: "You go back to the house and meet my elder brother and the others to drink."
Xiao Yeyang: "I often stay with them, and I'm tired of drinking tea." After saying that, he paused and looked up at Dao Hua, "But you, we haven't seen each other for several days, and you don't
Tell me to stay with me."
Daohua: "..."
She found that Xiao Yeyang was becoming more and more daring to speak out.
Seeing Daohua's silence, Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment and asked awkwardly: "Don't you want to see me?"
These words were a bit abrupt. Xiao Yeyang was not sure, and he didn't know if Daohua would be angry, so he said it in a very soft voice.
Daohua still heard it clearly, but she didn't know how to respond, so she just interrupted: "What did you say? Okay, you have been out for a while, go back quickly, otherwise, my elder brother should come out to find you again
I'm going back to the yard to see what good things you have given me?" After saying that, he quickly walked out of the pavilion.
Looking at Daohua's quickly disappearing figure, Xiao Yeyang smiled, but was not in a hurry to leave, and continued to enjoy tea leisurely.
On the other side, as soon as Daohua returned to her yard, she asked Wang Manyer: "Where are the things Xiao Yeyang gave me?"
Wang Maner pointed to the room.
Daohua hurriedly walked toward the house. When she saw the two half-meter-high boxes placed in the house, her eyes widened: "What are these?"
Wang Maner shook his head: "I don't know, but it's quite heavy."
Daohua stepped forward and opened the box. Instantly, her eyes were dazzled by the sudden golden light.
"Bang!"
Daohua quickly closed the box and looked around. When she saw that there were only two people in the room, Wang Man'er and Bishi, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she doesn't like the maid coming in and out of the house at will.
Otherwise, these two boxes of gold will be exposed.
Wang Maner said with excitement: "Girl, this is...?"
Daohua curled her lips: "This is my reward for your girl."
I found two gold mines and finally got two boxes of gold, which is a comfort for the time being.
Asking Bishi to close the door, Daohua opened the box again, picked up a gold ingot and started playing with it.
"Girl, there is also a deed here."
Wang Maner suddenly took out a deed from another box.
Chapter completed!
