The people from the Han family who came to see off their bride were the second master Han and the eldest son of the Han family. The three of them met Han Xinran and Yan Wenxiu, who had returned home from three dynasties, in the inn they rented.

Seeing that her second uncle and her husband had taken away her second brother-in-law, the eldest lady of the Han family quickly pulled Han Xinran into a private conversation: "How is it? Is my brother-in-law nice to you?"

Thinking of her husband's thoughtfulness and gentleness, Han Xinran lowered his head in shame.

Seeing her like this, Grandma Han didn't understand anything. She immediately joked a few words, and then asked: "Where are the Yan family, are they easy to get along with? Especially your mother-in-law."

Han Xinran quickly explained the situation of the Yan family: "My mother-in-law is easy to get along with. She doesn't set rules for me or pressure me with words; the old lady is also very kind and treats me very well; although my father-in-law is a bit serious, he still

He knows right from wrong. As for people with second and third bedrooms, they are pretty good."

Hearing this, Grandma Han was relieved and said with a smile: "It seems that the Yan family is a sensible family. Although our family originally intended to marry the Yan family, after all, you are a girl from the Earl's Mansion family.

The Yan family is marrying down, so they want to manipulate you, which is a bit unreasonable."

"Before I left home, my mother was very worried, worried that the Yan family didn't understand the rules and would bully you who married far away. You know, Mrs. Yan was just a country woman before, and your mother-in-law came from a merchant family. They would understand better.

What."

"But now it seems that our worries were in vain. Your father-in-law has climbed to where he is now, and the back house must have contributed a lot. Just know the rules. People who don't have them will be a mess."

Han Xinran nodded. In fact, when she first got engaged, she was also very worried. Most merchants' homes had no rules, so she was worried about meeting a disorderly mother-in-law.

Grandma Han said again: "Second sister, although you are married, you cannot disrespect your elders based on this. Mrs. Yan and your mother-in-law have shown kindness to you now, so you must know how to be grateful.

You must not be arrogant because of favors. It is absolutely indispensable to greet you every day."

Han Xinran nodded repeatedly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know all this."

Seeing that she had listened to what she said, Grandma Han couldn't help but relax her eyebrows: "By the way, there are a few other girls in the Yan family, how are they?"

Han Xinran thought of Daohua and Yan Yihuan, and immediately said with a smile: "The girls in the Yan family are all good, especially the husband's biological sister. Her appearance and style are all first-class, and she is not inferior to the noble girls in the capital."<

/p>

"In the past two days, my husband also told me about the situation of several younger sisters. They have been studying with the wife, and the content of their studies is no less than that of our girls."

Grandma Han raised her eyebrows: "Really? The Yan family has put so much effort into cultivating their daughters, presumably they will all be used for marriage. But think about it, the Yan family comes from a poor family and their foundation is too weak. Marriage is the fastest way to improve the family heritage.

Naturally, I will not let go of any means."

Han Xinran didn't answer the call. She knew too little about the Yan family's situation to make any judgment.

Afterwards, the two talked about other things. After lunch, when Han Xinran was about to follow Yan Wenxiu back to Yan's house, Grandma Han said with some reluctance: "We are going back to Beijing tomorrow. You are here alone, but

Take good care of yourself. If you are wronged, don't hold it in. Now our family title is still there, and my father is still an uncle, so he can always stand up for you."

She felt very sympathetic to this sister who married young and far away. If the Earl's Mansion hadn't become increasingly poor in recent years, there would be no need for the girls of the Han family to marry so far away.

Han Xinran nodded with red eyes: "Sister-in-law and eldest brother, be careful along the way."

Grandma Han clapped her hand, and in order to ease her parting mood, she said with a smile: "Maybe we will meet soon. Your father-in-law has good political performance, and it is not impossible to be transferred to Beijing."

Hearing this, Han Xinran's eyes became more hopeful: "I hope so."

......

After sister-in-law Han Xinran returned home from three visits, Daohua was ready to return to Taohua Village.

Mrs. Li helped pack the things with a frown on her face. She understood that her daughter was carrying a filial piety and it was not good for her to stay at home for too long: "Your second brother is getting married in July. Come back early then."

Daohua smiled and nodded: "Our family has so many happy events this year."

Mrs. Li said helplessly: "Isn't that right? Fortunately, your fourth brother went to Northern Xinjiang, otherwise, maybe the marriages of your three brothers and sisters could be arranged this year."

When Daohua saw that she was also taken in, she immediately stopped talking.

Mrs. Li: "Okay, mother won't keep you here anymore. Go out as soon as possible. Your master is old, so it's uneasy to live alone."

Immediately, Daohua followed Mrs. Li to say goodbye to Mrs. Yan, and then went out, but when she boarded the carriage at the door, she saw Butler Sun who looked in a hurry.

"Steward Sun!"

Because there was something urgent, Butler Sun didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw it was rice flowers, he had to stop: "Big girl."

Daohua looked at Butler Sun with a smile: "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Butler Sun did not hide anything: "The Jiang family came to report the case and said that they had caught several gangsters of the Eight Kings. The younger one is anxious to tell the master."

When Daohua heard that it was serious business, she quickly said: "Then go find your father quickly."

Butler Sun nodded and left quickly.

Daohua frowned and pondered for a while, and was not in a hurry to leave. She called Yan Ying to inquire about the situation.

Soon, Yan Ying came back.

"An assassin broke into the Jiang family again last night. It may be that the noise of the fight was too loud, which alerted the surrounding residents and the Guo family. The Jiang family was guarded by internal experts, and the assassins were all killed not long after."

"The reason why the Jiang family came to report the crime was because an assassin shouted, 'Jiang Zhengyuan has collected the belongings of the Eight Kings' before he died. The Guo family watched on and had to hand over the assassin to clear the relationship."

Seeing Daohua frowning, Yan Ying said again: "Don't worry, girl. When my subordinate comes back, your Excellency has already sent someone to the provincial government to report to the Chief Envoy. I think it won't be long before someone comes to take over."

Hearing this, Daohua's brows relaxed. Chiang's immediate superior was the chief envoy. If something happened, it was not her father's turn to take care of it. She knew that her family would not be implicated, so she ordered the carriage to leave.

After leaving the city gate, Daohua called Yan Ying again: "Take Gou Xiaoer and Gou Xiaosan to the place where the members of the Eight Kings were killed." After saying that, he paused for a moment.

"The assassins have found the Jiang family again and again. The two people must have left something valuable behind, otherwise they would not have pursued them so closely."

Yan Ying said: "Deshou has sent people to search for the place where the two people were killed, but nothing was found."

Daohua: "...Let's go look for it again. It's the best if you have it. If you don't have it, it won't be a big deal."

Yan Ying didn't say much and left quickly with two hunting dogs.

Daohua didn't wait for him. When she arrived at the pier, she took a boat directly to Taohua Village.

......

Peach Blossom Temple.

As soon as Daohua and Gu Jian had lunch, Yan Ying came back with two hunting dogs.

"Girl, I really found a baggage." Yan Ying was a little excited. He found that the seven hunting dogs raised by the girl were very good at finding things.

Daohua became more energetic: "What is it? Bring it to me and see."

Yan Ying handed over the baggage.

Daohua quickly opened the baggage, and soon, a jade dragon seal that had been broken into two pieces appeared in her sight.

When Gu Jian saw it, his expression immediately changed. He took the jade dragon seal and looked at it: "Where did you find this?"

Yan Ying quickly explained the matter.

Daohua took a look at Gu Jian's face and asked, "Master, do you know this seal?"

Gu Jian nodded: "This is the jasper dragon button seal that the late emperor specially asked someone to carve for the Eight Kings." He said with a sarcastic smile.

"The late emperor really doted on his son. He clearly knew that only the emperor could use the dragon-shaped pattern, but he still gave such a seal to the eight kings. From then on, this jade dragon button seal became a symbol of the eight kings' status."<

/p>

Gu Jian looked at the seal and said with a smile: "What a pity, this jade dragon seal has been broken into two halves."

Daohua didn't expect the seal to have such a big background: "No wonder the Eighth Prince's people are clinging to the Jiang family. However, the Eighth Prince has given such an important thing to an outsider for safekeeping. He is also quite generous."<

/p>

Gu Jian snorted coldly: "How else would the ancients have the energy to speak out? The Eight Kings have exhausted their energy."

Daohua looked at the jade dragon seal and asked, "Do I need to hand this thing in?"

Gu Jian snorted: "It's not necessary. To the Eight Kings, this thing is a symbol of status. To the Emperor, it's just a piece of broken jade and has no effect."

Daohua looked regretful, she thought she could make a contribution.
