Chapter 655 Going to jail

 "The new chief minister of Zhongzhou, Mr. Yuan, is actually the brother of the imperial concubine."

In Peach Blossom Temple, Daohua carefully looked through the interesting collection of Beijing that Zhao Yongwang sent back.

Zhao Yongwang was indeed a smart man. Knowing that they were going to deal with the new chief envoy, he inquired about the Yuan family's situation in great detail.

"No wonder he has nothing to do with Chiang Kai-shek's participation in politics despite being related to the members of the Eight Kings."

Although Concubine De was pregnant with the fifth prince and the second princess, she still had to live by the expressions of the empress dowager and empress in the harem. The Yuan family did not dare to offend the Jiang family too much.

The assassin's attempt to get Chiang to participate in politics was probably suppressed by Mr. Yuan.

When Gu Jian heard his disciple's muttering, he sneered and said: "The Jiang family is not that easy to deal with. Unless the evidence is conclusive, not everyone dares to challenge a nobleman with two queens."

Daohua nodded and said nothing more. Thinking that tomorrow was the first day of June, she couldn't help but said: "Tomorrow is Xiao Yeyang's birthday. I wonder how he, his third brother, and his fourth brother are doing in Northern Xinjiang?



Seeing his apprentice's worried look, Gu Jian explained: "There has been no bad news from the border in the past two months. I guess it's nothing. But the Eighth Prince is very cunning and has the manpower left for him by the late emperor."

, they won’t be able to come back in a short time.”

Daohua also understood this and sighed: "I hope the border will settle down soon."

Time flies by day by day, and it’s July in the blink of an eye.

......

Yanfu.

Han Xinran was following Mrs. Li and was busy taking care of Yan Wenjie's marriage.

"The sixth day of July is the day when Wenjie gets married. This is the list of people who will follow Wenjie to the wedding. You can bring it to your second aunt later and ask her for her opinion."

Mrs. Li rubbed her swollen forehead.

In May, she was busy with her eldest son's marriage, and in July, she was busy with her second wife, Wenjie. She didn't get much rest in the past two months.

Han Xinran nodded in agreement and said with concern: "Everything about the wedding has been arranged. Mother can have a good rest. Don't tire yourself out."

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter-in-law with a smile: "Fortunately you are married, otherwise I wouldn't know how busy I would be."

Han Xinran smiled and said, "Mom, you've given me too much praise. Even if you don't have me, you still have your eldest sister to help you. I heard that my eldest sister is a good housekeeper."

Mrs. Li shook her head and said with a smile: "Don't talk about that lazy girl. She just wanted to have you here, so she stayed at her master's place and didn't come back. Look, it's already the second day of July, and she didn't say she would come back early.



Han Xinran smiled and didn't answer. She had been married into the Yan family for almost a month, and she had a general understanding of the Yan family. She knew how much her mother-in-law and the old lady doted on her eldest sister.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and then Han Xinran went to find Mrs. Sun with the list. On the way, she couldn't help but chat about Daohua with her personal maid Gantang.

"My eldest sister is living a really cool life."

Living outside for several months without anyone to restrain or discipline me is something that a wealthy family in the capital would not dare to imagine.

Daughters from wealthy families are often kept in a boudoir and rarely have the opportunity to go out.

Gantang nodded: "The girls in the house are doing well. I heard that they now have their own shops and fields."

A look of envy appeared on Han Xinran's face. Maybe the Han family is wealthier than the Yan family, but the girls of the Han family are far less comfortable than the Yan family's sisters.

After giving the list to Ms. Sun, Han Xinran returned to her and Yan Wenxiu's wedding yard when she saw that Mr. Sun didn't say anything.

As soon as she returned, Aunt Han, who had come to accompany her as a bride, whispered to her: "Girl, your Yuexin is here, have you decided who will serve my uncle?"

Han Xinran looked unhappy, but she couldn't help but smile sweetly when she thought of what her husband said to her when she came to Yuexin last time: "Mommy, please don't mention this matter again in the future. My husband said that the Yan family has not closed the door."

The habit of the house, unless...unless I can't spread the branches and leaves of the Yan family."

Aunt Han was stunned: "Really?"

Han Xinran nodded affirmatively.

Aunt Han smiled happily: "I thought my uncle said that last time because he was considering your wedding."

Han Xinran smiled and said: "I thought my husband was just talking politely, but I asked my mother a few days ago and she said the same thing."

Aunt Han sighed with a look on her face: "The girl is blessed. Although she is marrying far away, the Yan family can still get along well with each other. The most rare thing is that my uncle still understands the cold and the hot, so the madam and the master can finally rest assured."

Han Xinran smiled shyly. She knew that her father and mother felt wronged by marrying her into the Yan family. She used to think so too, but now, she is extremely satisfied with her marriage.

Not only did her mother-in-law not set any rules for her, but she also had no intention of giving her husband a wife. For these two reasons, she was much better than her married sisters in the family.

What's even more rare is that her mother-in-law treats her as one of her own as soon as she gets married and personally takes her to familiarize herself with things in the family. The eldest sister has not been able to get the power of the housekeeper for two years after marrying into the Luo family, but she got it so easily.
p>

She is not as well married as her eldest sister, but she feels that she will live a better and more comfortable life than her eldest sister.

......

Daohua came to the Yan Mansion on the third day of July. When she came back, she chatted and laughed with Mrs. Yan. Now that her sister-in-law was married, she no longer wanted to take care of the household affairs, and she was very thorough in taking charge of the housekeeper.

On the sixth day of July, the Zhu family sent the dowry to the Yan family early.

Although Zhu Qiyun's dowry was not as generous as Han Xinran's, the thousands of books still made everyone look at her for a while.

Han Xinran was also a little surprised, and then she exclaimed with Aunt Han: "The marriage arranged by the second brother is really good." With these books passed down to the family, as long as the second brother can get the title, the second brother can be considered as established.

Aunt Han nodded: "Yes, it's not unreasonable for the Yan family to rise up. The master has a good eye for selecting relatives. I heard that the fourth master has chosen the daughter of the Su family in Zhongzhou. The Su family is a well-established family.

Family."

At this time, there were noises and cheers, and Han Xinran knew that it was the groom welcoming the bride into the door: "I hope this second brother and sister are easy to get along with."

Aunt Han smiled: "Sooner or later, the Yan family will be divided. As long as the girl and the second and third bedroom people are decent, it's enough."

Han Xinran said ‘hmm’ and when she saw Daohua taking the girls from various families to the wedding hall, she quickly followed her.

......

"Why are you back so early? I thought you were going to stay at home for two more days?"

Seeing his apprentice come back, Gu Jian was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Daohua smiled and said: "There are two new daughters-in-law in the family, and my grandmother and mother have people to accompany them, so I am not redundant."

Gu Jian snorted and raised the corners of his mouth. Why didn't he know that his apprentice was worried about him alone? The weather was hot this year and he was a little greedy for cold. Last month, he was a little bit cold because he used too much ice. The apprentice came back to take care of him.

.

......

In early July, the Eight Kings attempted to seize another border town. Unfortunately, the men stationed in the city were captured by the Jinling Guards led by Xiao Yeyang, causing the Eight Kings' plan to fail. After that, the war in Northern Xinjiang fell into a tug of war.

In mid-July, each province received an order from the imperial court to collect military rations.

In Zhongzhou, envoy Yuan Bu directly ordered Yan Zhigao to collect enough 100,000 shi of military rations.

Yan Zhigao looked at the order in his hand and frowned.

Although Ningmen Prefecture is much larger than other prefectures, the land is barren, and the military rations he wants to collect are twice as much as those of other prefects.

Daohua soon found out about this.

Daohua frowned: "What does Yuan Buzheng mean by this? Has father offended him?"

Yan Shouhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be that after the envoy Yuan took office, he hosted a banquet for various officials, but the master and his wife did not go to congratulate him?"

Because they had to abide by the rules for Grandma Gu, the Yan family held all the banquets from February to May.

Daohua frowned: "If it's because of this, then the envoy Yuan is not very narrow-minded." After saying that, he was silent for a moment, "Is it possible for father to collect all the grain?"

Yan Shouhou: "I'm not too worried about meeting the master and the uncle. It should be okay."

Hearing this, Daohua stopped caring: "Go back. If anything happens in the house, tell me immediately."

Yan Shouhou nodded in agreement, and then left quickly.

On July 29th, Daohua was packing her things and preparing to go back to Yan Mansion to attend her hair-raising ceremony. Unexpectedly, Yan Shouhou came in a hurry.
