The people of the Li family, no, I should say the people of Lijia'ao, thought that having Xie Yanzhi, the number one son-in-law, was enough honor.
Who would have thought that Li Yuan would become Mrs. Gaoming at such a young age.
This became a royal decree, but he enjoyed the court's rewards and salary.
In their opinion, it is the same as being an official!
Moreover, Li Yuan is from their Lijia'ao area, which is quite different from Xie Yanzhi, the son-in-law of the number one scholar.
For them, one is one of their own and the other is half of their own.
Therefore, when they found out that Li Yuan was the imperial wife, everyone was just as excited as when they found out that Xie Yan was the top scholar.
Especially when Li Yuan took out the imperial edict, Li Qinghua and others took it with trembling hands and saw the contents clearly.
What's more, there was an older man who knelt down and kowtowed when the imperial edict was placed in the ancestral hall, shouting "Long live the emperor!"
At night, when he was the only one left in the old house, Old Man Li asked Xie Yanzhi.
"Shao'an, I heard that in our country of Yun, there are conditions for becoming a royal wife. The husband or son has made great achievements, right?"
Xie Yanzhi nodded: "Yes! I asked Yuan Niang for a title, and the court agreed. First, I wrote a book that minimized the casualties and property losses of the people in Xinyang Mansion. The other one is our Li family. Grow high yields of sweet potatoes.”
"Last year, the Secretary for Agriculture took the sweet potatoes we sent and planted them. Although the planting time was not long enough, the yield was higher than what we reported. This year, it is said that for comparison, several different places were found for cultivation. Not surprisingly, the results It will be very gratifying.”
"The Emperor has always paid close attention to this matter! Therefore, Si Nongsi will report it every month."
"This time I planned to ask Yuan Niang for a royal decree, and I also wanted to inquire about it, but it didn't take long for me to come down. I guess the emperor knew about the yield of sweet potatoes, and giving Yuan Niang a royal decree was also a disguised reward for the Li family. ."
Old Man Li nodded in realization!
He said that Shao'an was the number one scholar, even if he had to be expelled and become a fifth-grade scholar. How could Yuanniang become the wife of Gaoming before she had made political achievements?
It's just a disguised reward from the imperial court to Yuan Niang. Will there still be rewards from the Li family'ao people?
While thinking this, Old Man Li also asked.
Xie Yanzhi replied: "Don't worry, sir, the rewards for us Lijia'ao people will not be small. But the physical rewards should not be much. They may be rewarded with a title in the village, such as Wugu Village, Renyi Village, etc."
Old Man Li was more concerned about taxes, so he asked: "What about the land tax? Will it be reduced or reduced?"
"I don't know about this. It depends on the emperor's intention. In addition, we, who were formerly in Liuyun County, Xinyang Prefecture, were exempted from tax for three years due to the disaster. In addition, after we move here, we will also be exempted from tax for three years if we open up wasteland for farming. That's it. I don’t know if the imperial court will superimpose it, but if it does, it’s okay to be exempted from six years at once!”
Old Man Li and Li Dahai and others who had already come from Xinyang Mansion nodded.
"That's the truth! Six years is not bad! By the way, Shao'an, you won the top prize and are back. What's the matter with the name of the clan?"
"Has the family land been purchased? If so, I will go to the Yamen with you tomorrow."
"After buying it, I will go to Hua Zi's house later and talk to him. I will go to the Yamen early tomorrow. By the way, there will be a banquet in the village tomorrow. Shaoan, you..."
"No problem, I will follow your arrangement."
"Then..."
Seeing that the old man was not finished, Mrs. Wang immediately interrupted: "Old man, it's almost over. Yuanniang and Shao'an came back all the way, and they are very tired. You can tell them to have a good rest. If you have any questions, you can't say it another day?"
Ling, who had returned from the side, also said, "Yes, dad, let them wash up and go to bed early. If anything happens, we will talk about it tomorrow."
Because of the consideration of their grandmother and aunt, Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi were able to escape.
At that time, in the Yan family, the uncle of the Yan family was asking his daughter-in-law why Ying Lei was here and what was going on with Jiaojiao's marriage.
Mrs. Lin knew that this matter also required the consent of her husband, so she told Dr. Xue's diagnosis and what Li Yuan told her one by one.
Finally he said: "Young Master Ying's identity makes it difficult to tell anyone. As long as his father knows about this, don't tell anyone. Even if your son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law come to ask, don't let it slip."
Yan Jiao. My uncle just talks less, but it doesn’t mean he is stupid.
Whether he was in Liuyun County, Xinyang Mansion, or here in Lanxia City, he was always working outside.
He does a variety of tasks, comes into contact with many people, and knows many things.
When he heard Ying Lei's identity, he frowned and said, "I heard that those wealthy families pay more attention to the legitimate concubine. There is a big difference in the status of the legitimate son and the concubine. The legitimate son accounts for 70% of the inheritance of the family business."
"What you said about Prince Anlin's Palace is that it's still a palace, so it can't be so outrageous. Also, Young Master Ying is a direct descendant after all. Is it justified that he abandoned his identity and replaced a concubine just for the ashes of his own mother?"
"To put it bluntly, if that concubine is the murderer of his mother, and he replaces the bastard and becomes the son of the enemy, then his mother will die in peace."
Lin didn't think much about it, and was stunned for a moment when she heard this.
She also spent some time in Xinyang Mansion, so she naturally knows the difference between concubine and concubine.
It was a businessman's family, and it was said that it was a very unruly family.
Then Anlin Prince's Mansion, no matter what, it is a prince's palace, will you not pay attention to this aspect?
Thinking of this, she was silent for a moment and said: "Then I will go find Yuanniang tomorrow and ask?"
"Well! No matter what, we have to ask for clarification. Jiaojiao is already like this, and I don't want to have peace after she is gone!"
Because the topic was quite serious and Yan Jiao was in bad condition, the couple had a sleepless night.
Mrs. Lin even stayed by Yan Jiao's bed, keeping her eyes open until dawn.
Ying Lei arrived early, carrying a few steamed buns, steamed buns and pancakes at dawn.
When Mrs. Lin opened the door, he handed over the things in his hands and said, "Auntie, let me see Jiaojiao!"
Mrs. Lin didn't take the thing, but looked at him with a complicated expression, then turned sideways, let him in, and closed the door again.
Ying Lei was very sensitive. He noticed that Mrs. Lin's attitude had changed today and asked, "Auntie, do you have something to tell me?"
Lin originally wanted to ask Li Yuan, but after listening to Ying Lei's words, she thought that since the other party wanted to marry Jiaojiao, he had to explain it clearly.
She was not polite immediately and directly expressed her doubts.
Ying Lei had known for a long time that Li Yuan would not hide his identity from Yan Jiao and his brother-in-law, but he would not tell everything about it either.
When he heard this, he was silent for a long time. When Lin felt that he couldn't speak, he slowly spoke.
"Auntie, you should know that no matter whether you are an ordinary person, a wealthy family or a businessman, as long as you are an heir, regardless of direct descendants, you must be included in the genealogy! However, my name is not on the genealogy of the Ying family!"
