Chapter 274 Jinniang Craftsman Finale
Yi Zhengshan went down and returned to the house. She didn't see Mrs. Yi. Hearing that she had gone to the back garden, she walked leisurely. Turning the flower path, I saw Mrs. Yi and Haiman and several other maids talking and laughing in the pavilion, so they stopped.
"Is this made for me?" Mrs. Yi picked up a dress and weighed it. She liked it with her eyes, but she hesitated a little, "Is it suitable to wear such beautiful clothes at my age?"
"Mom, you don't look 30 years old, of course you can wear it!" Hyman laughed and said that she was not deliberately flattered. Mrs. Yi is really not old, her life is beautiful, and her charm is not the same as before.
When Mrs. Yi heard her say this, she was furious, "Man'er, you made it for me. Of course, I want to wear it to make others envy me!"
Hyman took a few more folded clothes, "This is made for Dad!"
"Does he also have a share?" Mrs. Yi took over and looked through it and smiled, "You are so beautiful, I'm afraid your father is embarrassed to wear it!"
Hyman smiled and said, "No, Dad is still young!"
Mrs. Yi gave the clothes to Changyun and couldn't help feeling sorry for Hyman. "I asked you to mend your body. Why are you disobedient and make so many clothes?"
"Madam, you don't know, my young lady can't be idle!" Mei Xinger said quickly, "She not only made clothes for you and Master Yi, but also made clothes for several of us, as well as Changyun and Xiaomei's clothes. The maids in the house saw that the clothes she made looked good, so they all took the cloth for her and asked her to make them!"
Mrs. Yi became more and more distressed when she heard this, "What should you do if you are tired?"
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I have nothing else to do!" Hyman smiled.
Mei Xinger sighed, "Miss's wish is to open her own shop and make clothes, but if she wants to marry Mr. Yi, she can't go out to work!"
"Mei Xinger, don't talk nonsense!" Hyman drank Mei Xing'er gently.
When Mrs. Yi saw that her eyes involuntarily darkened, she held her hand and sighed slightly, "It's not that you don't understand what you are thinking, but you also know that your father is an official in the court. According to the law, officials and officials' families are not allowed to do business. Your father is a worried person, so he can only wrong you!"
Hyman shook his head and said, "It's okay. Don't worry. Even if I don't go out to open a shop, I can make clothes."
"Well, I know you are sensible!" Mrs. Yi pressed her hand.
Yi Zhengshan listened to their conversation, his expression became heavy, and he turned around and left for a moment.
Changyun hurried to Yi Yun's yard, "Young master, young lady, someone outside said he wanted to see you!"
"Who is it?"
"He said his surname was Yuan and he came from Huaisang!"
Haiman and Yi Yun looked at each other in surprise and got up together to the gate. Sure enough, they saw Yuan Cheng standing outside the gate, dusty and embarrassed.
The two hurriedly invited him in and asked his servants to help him clean up before sitting down to talk.
"Ms. Yuan, why did you come here?" Hyman couldn't wait to ask, "Where are Uncle Yuan and Qiaoqiao? Are they all okay?"
"They are not good..." Yuan Cheng looked gloomy. "Since you left Huaisang, the business in the shop has faded, and Chen Bicai has used all his means to exclude my father, which is getting worse day by day. Chen Bicai wanted to annex Yuan Ji, but my father disagreed, so he secretly tamped, bribed people to put a palace yarn into Yuan Ji's warehouse, and notified the government to investigate, which cured my father's charge of selling palace yarn, and the shop was also occupied by Chen Bicai..."
Both Haiman and Yi Yun were surprised, and the smuggling of palace yarn was a felony. "How is Uncle Yuan now?"
"The county took Chen Bicai's money and didn't even investigate it at all, so he locked up my father and said that he wanted to be beheaded after autumn!" There were tears in Yuan Cheng's eyes, "I went to cry for injustice several times, but I was kicked out. When he went to Huaiyue's palace, unfortunately, Huaiyue's king died of illness, and other officials were unwilling to take care of it. I really have no choice but to come to the capital..."
"If damn Chen Bicai had known that I should have killed him, he would not have done evil again!" Yi Yun clenched his fist with hatred.
Hyman pressed his arm, motioned him not to be angry, appeased Yuan Cheng, and asked, "The shop is gone. What about coincidence?"
"The third young lady was forced to become Chen Bicai's concubine. The shop was gone, and our family was copied. We were penniless. If she hadn't secretly subsidized us, our family would have starved to death. Or did she tell me that Brother Yi's father was a senior official and asked me to come to the capital to find you and pester me..."
Before Yuan Cheng finished speaking, Yi Yun occupied it and said, "Xiaocheng, don't worry, I'll take you to see my father!"
Yi Zhengshan listened to their story and said something, and his face became solemn. "According to the laws of Taici Kingdom, there is not enough evidence that the superior will be sentenced, and the court will not send anyone to investigate. Even if I barely take over the case, there is no way to leave the capital, and there is no way to investigate the case!"
"So my father can only wait to be beheaded?" Seeing that hope was dashed, Yuan Cheng couldn't help crying.
Hyman's eyes flashed, "Dad, if you are an official directly under Huaisang County, can you take over this case?"
Yi Zhengshan nodded, "This is natural, but he has to be willing to accept it!"
Hyman's eyes lit up, "He will definitely take it!"
"Ah, by the way, Meng Shu!" Yi Yun suddenly realized.
When he shouted like this, Yi Zhengshan also remembered Meng Shu and couldn't help nodding, "Yes, he is the governor of Huaiyue. It's the most appropriate way to take over this case!"
"Ms. Yuan, Uncle Yuan is saved. Don't worry!" Hyman was very lucky. Fortunately, it was Meng Shu who took office in Huaiyue, otherwise there was really no way to save Uncle Yuan. It seems that everything is arranged by God's will!
Meng Shu and Yuexiang finished their marriage in their hometown and returned to the capital to say goodbye. Hearing Haiman talk about Uncle Yuan, they promised to avenge him. A few days later, he took Xiaoyaoer and Yuan Cheng and set off for Huaiyue.
For more than half a month, Yi Zhengshan received a private letter from Huai Yue's official document, which Meng Shu asked him to forward to Haiman. The letter said that Uncle Yuan's case had been found out. Uncle Yuan was unjust and released from prison, and the shop was also found. Chen Bicai colluded with officials and businessmen in Huaisang County to frame others. Over the years, they hoarded and bullied the people, were convicted of raiding their homes and got retribution. Huaisang County was also dismissed for corruption and misbezzlement and poor governance.
Shen Qiaoqiao was not implicated because of his contribution to helping to solve the case. He reunited with Xiaoyao's mother and daughter. Meng Shu and Yuexiang were arranging for them to return to Qingshan City. Haiman and Yi Yun were very relieved when they read the letter, and a stone pressed on their hearts finally fell to the ground.
Day by day, the wedding date of Haiman and Yi Yun is approaching, and Yifu is busy up and down.
"Lord Yi, have you heard that your wedding date is coming?" Jiang Yu summoned Yi Zhengshan into the imperial study and inquired.
"Yes, it's up to the emperor!" Speaking of this matter, Yi Zhengshan's smiling face also added a little more joy.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the sad mood in his heart, and smiled, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
"There is a happy event in Lord Yi's mansion, and I also want to add some joy!" Jiang Yu said and handed a fold to Yi Zhengshan, "Look at it!"
Yi Zhengshan took it with both hands and saw that his face became heavy, "Does Lord Cheng want to return to his hometown?"
"Yes, I tried my best to retain him, but he refused to continue to serve, saying that he was not in good health and wanted to go home to enjoy happiness! I have no choice but to give him permission." Jiang Yu smiled and said, "In this way, the position of Prime Minister is empty. I want you to take over. What do you think?"
Yi Zhengshan's eyes flashed, "This..."
"Why, you don't want to?" Jiang Yu frowned when he saw this.
Yi Zhengshan hesitated for a long time and corrected his look, "Yes!"
"What are you talking about? Are you going to resign? At night, at the table, Yi Zhengshan said his idea. Mrs. Yi was surprised, "Why? Isn't it a great opportunity for you?"
Yi Zhengshan pondered slightly and looked at Haiman and Yi Yun, "If I don't resign, Man'er can't do what she likes. And Yun'er, the emperor's decree not to hire him as an official for the rest of his life. Will he stay at home all his life?
Haiman and Yi Yun didn't expect that he would resign for them. They were moved and regretful. They wanted to persuade them, but they were stopped by Yi Zhengshan. "You don't have to persuade me. I've made up my mind and have resigned!"
"It's okay, it's okay!" Although Mrs. Yi also regretted, she had nothing to say for her children. She held Yi Zhengshan's hand and comforted her, "You have been tired enough over the years. It's time to rest and enjoy happiness!"
"Yes, I'm waiting to have a grandson! Yun'er and Man'er, don't let me down!" Yi Zhengshan made a rare joke.
Haiman and Yi Yun understand how difficult it is for him to resign from office for a person who cares about the court and the people of the world. His nose is a little sore, but he doesn't know what to say. He can only solemnly agree, "Yes, Dad, we will work hard!"
On the eighth day of August, it is also the wedding day of Haiman and Yi Yun, Huang Yuejiao and Tang Nian, Mei Xinger and Chang Jiu 3 couples. Since the fifth update, Yifu has been busy. Mrs. Yi was supervising inside and outside, afraid that something would happen, and she was very busy.
"Are you still so happy to be a mother-in-law and grandmother?" Han Jiang came over leisurely and askedjoicingly.
"I'm happy to be old!" Mrs. Yi stared at him and said, "If you are jealous, find someone to start a family!"
Han Jiang sighed in a long voice, "I also want to, but there is no suitable person..." As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a woman in her thirties and dressed up beautifully past the front and was stunned.
Mrs. Yi felt his strangeness and touched him, "What are you looking at?"
"Who is she?" Han Jiang pointed to the woman and asked.
"She is widow Sun, a friend of Man'er, who came to have a wedding wine!" Before Mrs. Yi could speak, Yi Yun followed his words.
Han Jiang's eyes flashed quickly, "Widow?"
"Yes, widow, without a husband, she has opened a silk farm by herself. She is very capable!" Yi Yun took his shoulder and joked, "Is Uncle Han interested in her? Why don't I ask Man'er to help you?"
"Who said I was interested in her? I just saw that she had some of the charm of your mother in those years!" Han Jiang turned his head uncomily, "You are the groom. If you don't go to entertain guests, why do you come to join in the fun?"
Yi Yun smiled and said, "I have nothing to do now. I just need to worship the bridal chamber with Man'er!"
"Bad boy!" Han Jiang slapped him and unconsciously glanced at Widow Sun, who was far away.
Mrs. Yi saw all the changes in Han Jiang's expression and smiled meaningfully. It seems that the marriage of her old friend has also arrived, and she wants to find an opportunity to match them up!
It was almost time, and the three grooms took the welcome team all the way to the house on Liuxu Street to welcome the three brides.
Sister-in-law and Xiaohu were busy with their work and sent the three brides to the sedan chair. Because Xiaohu was infected with the wind and cold, according to the custom, she could not enter the wedding hall. She could only see the welcoming team go far away and couldn't help but feel lost.
Think about it, several good sisters have already married, and only she is still in her boudoir. Although Uncle Liao has married her several times, she doesn't like it. She also hopes that she can find someone who is in love with her like Hyman and the others!
As if he was lost, he saw a man standing in front of the sealed Jinming Gate and looked a little familiar with the figure. She couldn't help but be curious. She looked carefully and stepped forward, "Who are you looking for?"
The man came to his senses and turned his head, "Didn't the owner of this house come back?"
Seeing his face, Xiaohu's eyes lit up, "Are you... Mr. Qi?"
"Do you know me?" Qi Wenhao looked over in surprise.
"What a Mr. Qi!" Xiaohu couldn't help being excited, "Don't you know me? I'm a little tiger, a little tiger who is a carpenter..."
"Are you a little tiger?" Qi Wenhao couldn't believe his eyes and looked up and down at her, "You have changed so much that I didn't even recognize you!"
Xiaohu smiled shyly, "Gongzi Qi hasn't changed much!"
"Bear by the way, do you have any news about the sea girl?" Qi Wenhao couldn't wait to ask.
"Sister Hai, of course there is!" Xiaohu smiled and pointed to the happy character on the door next to him, "She is marrying Mr. Yi today!"
Qi Wenhao was surprised, "What?"
Seeing that he was carrying a burden and dust all over his body, Xiaohu obviously had just come back and hurriedly called him into the door.
Is that right? It turns out that she has experienced so many things and finally achieved success with Yi Yun!" Qi Wenhao couldn't help sighing when he heard Xiaohu talk about Haiman.
Xiaohu saw that he was in a trance and knew that he had feelings for Hyman, so he asked, "Don't you want to go to Yifu to congratulate him?"
"No, let's go another day!" Qi Wenhao's smile was a little bitter. After so long, he thought that the relationship had gone away, but as soon as he returned to Qingshan City, the bits and pieces of the past became clear again. Knowing that Hyman is doing well, he is relieved, but he still can't face the fact that she has got married!
Xiaohu saw his loss and deliberately changed the topic, "I heard that you have not been caught by the government. Where have you been doing in the past few years?"
"In order to escape the pursuit of the government, I changed my name and went to many places. Not long ago, I knew that the emperor had issued an amnesty, and then I rushed back to Qingshan City!"
Little tiger's eyes flashed, "Then you must have suffered a lot!"
"For good, all this is finally over!" Qi Wenhao smiled and said, and there was a sound from his stomach. He couldn't help but look embarrassed, "Uh, I'm sorry!"
Xiao Hu covered his mouth and smiled, "Are you hungry? I'll make something to eat!"
"Then thank you!" Qi Wenhao was really hungry and did not refuse.
At this time, the three brides have been welcomed into Yifu, and the hall is full of happy guests. The auspicious time has arrived, and the three couples stood side by side. Yi Zhengshan and Mrs. Yi sat in the hall ready to salute.
One worship heaven and earth, two worship high halls, husband and wife worship each other three times, preparing to be sent to the bridal chamber, suddenly hearing a shout from outside the door: "The emperor is here--"
Everyone got up to see each other.
Jiang Yu stepped into the door and said with a smile, "Don't be polite, just be flat!"
"Thank you, Emperor!" Everyone thanked them and got up one after another.
Yi Zhengshan didn't expect Jiang Yu to come. He was flattered and hurriedly welcomed him to the upper seat. "I don't know that the emperor has arrived. Please forgive me!"
"Hey, what's wrong with you? I'm here to send gifts!" Jiang Yu smiled loudly and looked at Mo Zhu. Mo Zhu was conscious and unfolded a scroll of imperial edict, "Yi Zhengshan, Haiman and Yi Yun listened to the edict!"
The three hurriedly knelt down to accept the order.
"According to heaven's transportation, the emperor's edict said: Haiman, a woman, is skillful in her mind, and her clothes are exquisite and extraordinary, and she is deeply loved. I couldn't bear the annihilation of his talent, so I specially awarded him the title of 'craftsman' and set up the 'Jinming Clothing Bureau' under the Weaving Bureau, ordered him to take care of it, make clothes for the palace, and pass on the beauty of clothing to the people under the premise of non-profit.
Yi Yun, the son of Yi Zhengshan, the prime minister of the dynasty, is a rare talent with strong martial arts and good moral character. He set up a bodyguard teaching institute outside the palace and served as the head of the teaching, which is specially designed to train bodyguards and transport talents in the palace. "This is my admiration!"
After hearing this edict, Haiman and Yi Yun were surprised. Although Yi Zhengshan did not specifically mention him in the edict, he called him the prime minister and was surprised and confused. "Your Majesty, I have submitted my resignation. Why are you still..."
"I didn't agree to your resignation!" Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Not long after I ascended the throne, I still need the assistance of a loyal minister like you, Lord Yi. How can I be willing to resign?"
"But officials' families are not allowed to do business..."
"Hey, it's not good to do business for the welfare of me and the people in a non-profit way! Man'er once told me that she has two wishes, one is to stay with the people she likes, and the other is to do what she likes to do. I am a person who likes to do the best in everything. Since I have fulfilled one of her wishes, how can I fail her other wish? Besides, her talent is obvious to all. I am the person who loves talent the most. How can I bear to let her talent be buried? I have ordered to return her mansion on Liuxu Street and transform it into Jinming Clothing Bureau. After marriage, she can go to work. As for Yi Yun, I just arranged a suitable position for him!"
Yi Zhengshan knew that Jiang Yu specially set up these two positions for Haiman and Yi Yun to solve his worries. This is a great grace, and he couldn't help bursting into tears, "I thank the emperor for your kindness!"
Haiman and Yi Yun were also greatly moved and kowtowed together.
"Okay, you all get up!" Jiang Yu called them up, "I have another thing to give to Man'er. Ansheng, bring it up!"
"Yes!" An Sheng promised to wave to the door, and the two bodyguards came forward with a red cloth.
Everyone opened their eyes curiously and stared at the thing. The gift from the emperor must be extraordinary.
"Open it!" Jiang Yu smiled and gave the order.
The red cloth was uncovered, and the golden light suddenly appeared. It turned out to be a golden plaque with four golden characters with dragons flying and phoenix dancing: Jinniang Miaojiang. Behind it is Jiang Yu's handwritten signature and jade seal.
Hyman saw the plaque from under the cover, and his gratitude was beyond words. When he was about to kneel down and kowtow, he was stopped by Jiang Yu, "Today you are the biggest, you don't have to kowtow. That's all I can do for you. I hope you can be happy!"
"Yes, thank you, your Majesty!" Hyman blessed his body, and his eyes couldn't help but get wet.
"Well, you won't be comfortable drinking wedding wine here. I'll go first. You don't have to see each other off!" Jiang Yu smiled loudly and strode away in the respectful voice of everyone.
With the joy of the emperor's kindness, Yi Zhengshan's face is really shining. In the congratulations of the crowd, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber.
Yi Yun made a toast and came to the bridal chamber. Under the guidance of Xi Niang, he lifted the lid, drank a glass of wine, and tossed around. Everyone retreated, leaving him and Haiman.
"Man'er, will you regret marrying me?" Looking at her more beautiful face than ever, Yi Yun asked with twinkling eyes.
Heiman smiled, "Why should I regret it?"
"The emperor is so kind to you..."
It turned out that he was jealous because he was robbed of the limelight by Jiang Yu, and Hyman unconsciously laughed, "If you don't like it, I will return the golden plaque to the emperor tomorrow..."
"I didn't mean that!" Yi Yun hurriedly said, looking a little uncomfortable, "I just... just feel that I'm not good enough..."
Hyman smiled and said, "You are the best for me!"
"You are also the best for me!" The worry dissipated, and his eyes became gentle little by little. He picked up her face, kissed her lips, and tasted the deep affection.
The red candle is swaying, and the room is full of fragrance...
