Hua Ju lifted up his skirt and knelt down, followed by Hua Yaozu and his wife and everyone in the room, including Shang Jincai, also knelt down.

There is no way, this is the rule, everyone present must kneel down when the decree is announced.

"Hua Ju has made great contributions to saving me. I am specially conferred as a male from Yongning County and will be rewarded with 500 acres of land and a house. I appreciate this."

The imperial edict does not contain too much nonsense, it is straightforward and is a reward for Chinese beech trees.

"Hua Ju thanks the emperor for the reward. Long live, long live, long live."

Hua Ju stood up, took the imperial edict, and said to Yang Jian: "Excuse me, Lieutenant, to go there in person. Please take a break and have a cup of tea before leaving."

Yang Jian said with a smile: "Originally, the official issued a decree to award the reward tomorrow. I told him that he had asked you to wait at home, and the official issued the decree."

Hua Ju understood that the old thief was showing off his merits to him, and said: "Master Taifu's care for Wansheng, Wansheng will definitely remember it in his heart, and he will definitely repay him in the future."

Yang Jian didn't realize that Hua Ju's "repay" had another meaning. He thought that Hua Ju was really grateful to him and said with a smile: "I'm very pleased that you can understand my feelings. Well, I have to go back to the palace to recover."

According to the custom, after receiving the canonization, you have to go to the palace to thank you, but it is late today, so you don’t need to go. Tomorrow, you wait at home, and I will send someone to take you to the palace to thank you. We will meet you then

And I will give you the land and the house that were given to you.”

When the emperor rewards a person with land or a house, it does not immediately indicate which piece of land or house it is. Instead, it must be allocated by the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so it takes time to process it.

It was getting late tonight and it was impossible to ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to him overnight, so he had to wait until tomorrow.

"Thank you for your trouble, Master." Hua Ju said.

"Okay, I'll take my leave then."

Hua Ju kept locking Yang Jian outside the gate and watched Yang Jian leave before going back.

"Ze'er, what on earth is going on?"

"Yes, why would such a good emperor give you a reward?"

As soon as Hua Ju came back, Hua Yaozu and his wife couldn't wait to ask.

Hua Ju did not explain immediately, but walked to Shang Jincai, who was standing aside with an extremely ugly face, held the imperial edict in his hand in front of his eyes, and said jokingly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"you you you--"

Shang Jincai lost all his arrogance at this time and even stuttered when he spoke.

There was nothing I could do about it. In the past, everyone had the same identity as a businessman. He even thought that because he had a son-in-law who was an official, he felt that he was more important than Hua Ju.

But now that Hua Ju has been named Yongning County Male, he is already a person with a title. His status is not comparable to that of a businessman, but even his in-law Shao Youfu's son-in-law, who is a promotion official, is even more stubborn.

"Good nephew——"

"Don't call me that, we're not that familiar."

Zhao Ju took a few steps back, turned around and said with a smile: "Aren't you going back to prepare for your daughter's wedding? Why are you still standing here? Go back and prepare."

"Yes, didn't you just want to leave? Why are you still here? Go, go, go."

After his son was knighted, Hua Yaozu's back became stiff and he pushed and pushed Shang Jincai away.

Shang Jincai grabbed the door and said, "Brother Hua, don't be like this, we have something to say, something to say."

Hua Yaozu was annoyed when he saw his appearance, so he would talk to him nicely, push him into the yard with all his strength, wave his hands and scold him: "I have nothing to say to you, get out, get out."

"Brother Hua, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone back on my promise and regretted my marriage. Please forgive me."

Shang Jincai no longer had the domineering attitude he had just now, and stood in front of Hua Yaozu and apologized in a low voice.

Hua Yaozu had already seen who he was, so he would forgive him. He waved his hand and said: "Go, go, go, I don't want to hear anything, get out of my house quickly."

Shang Jincai hurriedly knelt down and said: "Brother Hua, I was really wrong, please forgive me. This, this is all forced by Shao Youfu. He said that if he didn't marry his daughter to his son, he would let him

My son-in-law ruined my wine shop, and I really had no choice but to do this. Don’t worry, I will go to his house immediately to cancel the engagement, and our two families will hold the wedding ceremony for our two children as originally agreed."

Hua Yaozu didn't expect that this guy was so shameless. He had threatened to break off the engagement just now. He didn't expect that he wanted his daughter to marry him just as soon as he turned around. It was really a shame that he said it out loud.

"Shang Jincai, Shang Jincai, you are a human being, even a dog is more shameless than you. Get out, get out, get out of here." Zhao Hua Yaozu didn't want to see this shameless person again for a moment.

"Brother Hua, I was wrong. Please forgive me once. I promise I will never do such a thing again in the future. Please." Shang Jincai cried and begged while holding Hua Yaozu's legs.

Hua Yaozu was annoyed and said to the servants around him: "Drag him out."

Four servants came over and grabbed Shang Jincai and dragged him out. At this time, Hua Ju appeared next to Hua Yaozu and said, "Wait a minute."

The servant stopped and Hua Ju glanced at Shunzi. Shunzi walked up to Shang Jincai with a tray. Shang Jincai looked into the tray and saw a divorce document, an inkstone and a pen.

This divorce document was written just now by Hua Ju.

Although he had just threatened to post the divorce notice all over the city, he is now a man with a title. If this matter becomes too big, it will also affect his reputation.

Therefore, after much thought, it would be better for Shang Jincai to sign the divorce document now.

"Sign it."

This time Hua Ju stopped nagging him, and directly used a commanding tone.

"My dear nephew, please forgive me once. I will never do anything to disgrace your Hua family again, please." Shang Jincai kowtowed and bowed.

Hua Ju walked up to him with his hands behind his back, looked down at him and said, "If you sign now, I can be lenient and let you go. Otherwise, I will not only make it impossible for you to gain a foothold in Bianjing, but also make you bankrupt."

"

Shang Jincai looked at Hua Ju's cold eyes and knew that he was not trying to scare him, so he finally signed.

"Listen, from now on, my Hua family has nothing to do with your Shang family. If I hear you making up nonsense and slandering my Hua family outside, I will never let you go. Do you hear me?" Hua Ju warned.

road.

"No, I don't dare, I don't dare." Shang Jincai responded timidly.

Now he only asks Hua Zhaoju to thank God for not retaliating against him, and there are still people who dare to spread rumors about him.

"Shunzi, send him out."

Shunzi and four other servants "sent" Shang Jincai out, and then closed the door tightly.

Looking at the closed door of Washington, Shang Jincai felt regretful.

If he hadn't been greedy for money and unjust and changed his daughter's marriage to the Shao family, now he would be the father-in-law of a dignified county man, and no one would dare to look down on him.

But now——

well!
