Chapter 1 Edict

Jiang Ting sat in her room with her head in her hand, staring at the spring outside through the half-open window and sighing. Spring in the northwest is good everywhere, but the wind is strong. She can only stay in the room and watch such a bright spring light. Because she went out, she could only let her troubled hair be messy in the wind.

Well, how much she wants to take snacks and sheets to the wild for a spring outing as before. For ten years, she could only stay in this small courtyard and dare not go out easily. I just hope that the wind will stop for a while, and let her go to the yard to bathe in the warm sunshine for a while.

Jiang Ting is thinking nonsense in her heart. It's all small things, but she doesn't have much dissatisfaction with life. Except that she is still small and sad that she can't go out at will, everything else is fine. Nowadays, she is no longer alone, so she just can't go out often. It's no big deal.

Thinking of her own father, Jiang Ting showed a satisfied smile on her face. Ten years ago, when she opened her eyes and saw a ghost-like father with a beard, she was almost scared to death again. However, for a whole year, her father's meticulous doting on her made her heart fully accept the current identity and the current era of hateful teething.

The current Jiang Ting is not the real Jiang Ting. But she is the daughter of her father, the daughter he raised carefully. Therefore, although Dad's actual age is not much older than her, she really regards him as her father.

Although Dad is only in his thirties, his personality is dull and tolerant like 50 years old. In the past ten years, he has made a lot of contributions, but he has only been promoted to the commander. Because he is a guilty military household, if he can't get rid of the crime, he can only do so.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ting felt a little regretful and distressed. But Dad is a man who admits his death. He felt that only by working hard can he provide her with a better life and earn a future for the Jiang family. Although Jiang Ting felt that her father's efforts were futile, she still supported him. Because who made him her father and she was his daughter? She can't help him, so support him silently behind his back!

Well, at this point, if nothing big happens in the barracks, Dad should come back for lunch. Aunt Zhang, a butcher on the South Street, just sent a few pork ribs in the morning, saying that her father paid for it in the morning. When she was a child, she was weak, and her father bought her meat almost every day. I didn't expect it to become a habit now. But that's the whole four long ribs. Where did she finish eating alone?

Jiang Ting raised her arm and looked at her little hand with a meat nest and sighed again. Now that her whole body is full of meat, she is really afraid that she will become round sooner or later. Well, let's stew two first and wait for Dad to come back to eat for him! She just eats green vegetables. She still wants to be a beautiful woman when she grows up.

When she thought of doing it, Jiang Ting went out of the door and went straight to the kitchen in the west wing. While she raised her knife in both hands and chopped the ribs, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Jiang Ting went out of the kitchen with a big kitchen knife stained with flesh and blood and ran to the gate to ask cautiously. She is alone in the family now, and she can't let strangers in.

"Miss Jiang, it's me, Zhao Xi. Jiang Wuchang asked me to report a letter to you, asking me to prepare something quickly and set up a incense case.

Outside was Jiang Yong's subordinate soldiers. Jiang Ting recognized him when she heard the sound, so she opened the door bolt and let people in. She asked Zhao Xi, "Did Dad say why he wanted to set up an incense case?"

Zhao Xi's face was full of excitement and joy, but when the door opened and he saw Jiang Ting with a kitchen knife, his excitement suddenly cooled down. The blood-red meat dregs, coupled with this delicate little girl, are really a little... scary.

It turns out that Jiang Wuchang is brave, and his daughter is also brave! She is only 11 years old. The knife is very heavy and in her small hand... Who said that Jiang Wuchang's daughter is not in good health?

"Brother Zhao, did my father say why he wanted to set up a incense case?" Jiang Ting looked at the young man in front of her staring at the knife in her hand. She was a little embarrassed, so she hid the knife behind her and asked again loudly.

"Oh, that's the imperial edict! It's the decree! General Wang, who was stationed at Wanghong Pass, came with an imperial envoy. The envoy said that the imperial edict had arrived, and it was for your family!" Zhao Xi came back to his senses and became excited again.

Holy decree, that is the emperor's personal will! He can actually see what the imperial edict is like. I don't know how many generations have accumulated blessings!

Jiang Ting was stunned. Edict? What's the decree? After the Jiang family was sentenced to exile ten years ago, one family was almost dead. What else can be given to them by the emperor? Is it a good thing? Or is it a bad thing?

Well, Dad has been working diligently over the years and has made a lot of military achievements. It should not be a bad thing. Jiang's family... She doesn't feel much. It is Dad's wish to revive the Jiang family. I hope this decree brings good things.

Jiang Ting came to her senses, looked at the excited Zhao Xi, and said calmly, "Ok, I know. Brother Zhao, thank you for your letter. Please go back and tell my father that everything in the house is complete, and I will be ready right away.

Zhao Xi looked at the calm Jiang Ting and was a little stunned. That's the imperial edict, which is the imperial edict for their family. Why is Miss Jiang not excited at all? And so did Jiang Wuchang. Although he was stunned at the beginning, he immediately calmed down. What the rumor said is true. It turned out that the Jiang family was a real famous family. Look at other people's temperament!

Zhao Xi suddenly felt that she was so confused and excited, so she withdrew the excitement on her face, tried to make a calm expression, nodded and replied, "Then I'll go back. Miss Jiang, go and prepare quickly."

But when he turned his head, Zhao Xi couldn't stand it. That's the imperial edict...

In fact, Jiang Ting is still quite nervous. However, in her past and present life, she is almost 30 years old, and naturally she can still keep calm. After thinking about it, she simply didn't slam the door. She went straight to wash her hands and went to the main room to set up the incense table.

However, for Jiang Ting, she really doesn't know how to set up the incense case. However, thinking about their current situation, she feels that there is nothing to pay too much attention to. After all, her father is only a military household now, and he is a criminal military household. Many things are beyond them that they can't use. So she simply put the incense case according to the standards of the past New Year, and even put on the fruit.

The incense case is placed on the Eight Immortals Table specially for Gongzu in the main hall, with incense burner offerings in the front and the ancestral plaque of the Jiang family behind... Jiang Ting feels that it seems to be a little wrong. However, at this time, the voices of Jiang Yong and others have come from the yard, and this is the only way.

Jiang Ting slightly tidied up her clothes and hair, and then went out to greet them. Jiang Yong is leading a middle-aged man in a purple python robe to the main hall. Wang Yuanzhi, the guard of Wang Hongguan, followed the other side of the man in purple. Behind the three, followed by two neat lines of bodyguards, Jiang Ting only glanced at them and felt that the murderous atmosphere came to her face.

Jiang Yong's face was full of smiles, and General Wang, as the head of Wang Hongguan's military headquarters, was also full of smiles. Looking at the attitude of the two, it can be concluded that the decree brings good things.

Jiang Ting has a number in mind. She calmed down, walked a few steps quickly to Jiang Yong, and said "Father" respectfully with a light smile.

Jiang Yong looked at his daughter proudly and turned to the purple robe: "Your Highness King Qing, this is my daughter. Ting'er, come and see His Royal Highness King Qing.

It turned out to be a prince! Jiang Ting originally wanted to look up to see what the man looked like. As soon as she heard that he was the prince, she restrained her mind and obediently said to King Qing: "Ting'er has seen His Royal Highness King Qing."

Then, she saluted General Wang, who walked to the other side of King Qing, and did not dare to neglect it at all. By the way, although nine out of ten good things brought by this imperial edict, Dad should continue to work under General Wang, and it's better to be respectful.

Several people entered the main hall. The king looked at the incense burner offerings on the table of the Eight Immortals and the many ranks in the back, and his face froze in an instant.

Jiang Ting's heart jumped. Did she do something wrong? She looked up at Jiang Yong, but saw him nodding to herself with a smile, and knew that there should be nothing wrong. Jiang Ting was relent and followed her father honestly, silently waiting for the Qing king to begin to preach the decree.

King Qing stared at the slip of ranking on the table, especially staring at the ranking with the word "Jiang Fang" in the middle. It took him a while to come to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Yong inexplicably, and said in a dry voice, "The royal brother was very angry and sad after knowing what happened in those years. Before I came this time, my brother told me to give incense to Lord Jiang on his behalf.

Jiang Yong nodded in silence and motioned Jiang Ting to get incense. King Qing respectfully took the incense before he began to preach the decree.

Jiang Ting knelt respectfully behind Jiang Yong, full of doubts and puzzles. Although she is now the only third generation of the Jiang family. But maybe because she is a daughter, Jiang Yong didn't talk to her much about what happened back then. What she knows is just some of what she guessed. The Jiang family almost died because of the epidemic, which is a little strange. But now looking at the attitude of King Qing, this matter still seems to involve the royal family.

Jiang Ting frowned secretly. In her heart, in this ancient feudal system, the most unacceptable thing is the supremacy of imperial power. She sighed in her heart: Alas, if the matter of the Jiang family really involves the royal family, I'm afraid it will be impossible for Dad to take revenge in the future.
