Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C174

Following the will of the heavens, the emperor decreed that: Yangzhou Patrol in the History of Salt Management, Ye Lin, official, clean and honest, political achievements, actually is a pillar of the nation, today’s official position will be given to the Minister of Revenue, from the position of a first rank official, immediately entering the capital to take office after the afternoon, here!

Ye Lin was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed, “This subject thanks the Emperor for his grace, long live the Emperor!”

Jin Lan followed the crowd and kowtowed respectfully, but in his heart, he was greatly relieved. A bright smile immediately appeared on his face.

It was a good thing that everyone was smiling and it did not seem sudden.

After kowtowing to show their gratitude, everyone stood up. Ye Lin walked forward to receive the yellow silk with the black rhinoceros horn as the axis and embroidered auspicious cloud as the auspicious crane, and also the flying silver dragon on both sides. With a face full of smiles, he stretched out his hand and led the way, “Young Master, please come in for tea.”

A faint, distant smile appeared on the attendant’s face. “There’s no need for tea. Our family still has to rush back to the capital to report to the emperor. We can’t afford to delay any longer.”

“Eunuch is a capable person in front of the Emperor, of course he wouldn’t be like the old me, who would like to receive all the silver, as he can just treat it as a form of entanglement along the way.”

Seeing the shining silver on the tray, the waiter finally revealed a satisfied smile. He cupped his hands and said, “In that case, we will not be courteous.” He had already heard that the Jiangnan Patrol of the Salt Clan was a good-for-nothing. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have put in so much effort to get this task. He really hadn’t come here in vain.

After sending the imperial edict away the servants, Ye Lin personally invited the imperial edict to the family shrine to be served. After that he hurriedly went to the great study and recruited a few trusted aides and aides, who knew what they were discussing.

The rest of them naturally returned to their own courtyards. However, Old Madame Ye made a sound, saying that she would eat tonight with Jiayu Hall, as if she wanted to have a good time.

Ever since the death of Concubine Shao, the Ye Mansion seemed to have been enveloped by a thick layer of haze, the decree was like a bright and beautiful ray of sunlight, instantly dispelling the haze in everyone’s heart.

Jin Lan accompanied the Madame SHen back to the Shuixie Pavilion, and waited until the Madame SHen took off her thick and heavy first name attire before walking over to take a careful look at the Madame SHen.

Looking at Madame SHen’s calm face, her heart was moved. “Mother doesn’t seem to be very happy.”

“Your father was promoted to the rank of an official, of course I would be happy.” Madame SHen raised his eyes and smiled, but her smile did not reach his eyes, “However, like this, I’m afraid that once it is afternoon, the entire family will have to go to the capital.”

Ever since she knew that the ancestor of the clan had such thoughts about Jin Lan, she had not felt at ease for a single day. Fortunately, Yangzhou was a thousand miles away, so even if the ancestor had any ideas, she could not move her hands and feet at the moment.

However, if he entered the capital, he would be at the mercy of the enemy. He would be a fish in the water. If he wanted to struggle, it wouldn’t be so easy.

Jin Lan was stunned. So his mother was worried about Shang Jing.

In fact, she had thought about it earlier this day, even if there was no decree in his previous life, Ye Lin would still stay in the capital to continue his position and become a minister in charge of the capital. That was a third rank official, the Emperor’s attitude towards Ye Family was downcast. But now that everything had changed, not only was the process of him entering the capital to continue his position removed, the emperor had even directly ordered Ye Lin to be appointed as the Minister of Revenue.

Although she was not clear about what had happened and why the emperor would make such a huge change, the most important thing to her Ye Family in her previous life had not changed, and that was to enter the capital.

It wasn’t that Jin Lan hadn’t thought about changing all of this, but she was truly powerless. Forget about how she couldn’t control the decision made by the current Son of Heaven, even the Old Madame Ye couldn’t, let alone Ye Lin, who wholeheartedly hoped to ascend to the top.

When the Old Master moved to the Yangzhou, he had not dealt with the mansion in the capital. Until now, the servants who guarded the mansion had taken good care of it, and the old lady who wanted to return to the bustling capital had sent people to check it out every year. In her previous life, when Ye Lin came to the capital, the house he lived in was still the same house.

Jin Lan secretly sighed, looked at Madame SHen’s gloomy eyes, and blurted out the words in his heart: “If only Mother and I could stay in Yangzhou.”

Hearing that, Madame SHen’s eyes lit up, but quickly dimmed down again, “Don’t speak such nonsense, if the old lady finds out, then it’s time to get angry at you again.”

She was already not Yun Ying’s unmarried daughter’s home. As the mistress of Ye Family, how could she let go of the burden and stay at Yangzhou to avoid leisure? Even if the old lady was happy in her heart, in the eyes of outsiders, it was still too outrageous. In order to prevent her Ye Family from being affected by someone else’s disease, the old lady would not let go.

Jin Lan also knew that this was just her own imagination. In order to prevent the Madame SHen from worrying, she put up a look of yearning on her face, “Speaking of which, the capital is more prosperous than the Yangzhou. I heard that you can even see Hu Ren. This is great, when we enter the capital, Mom will have to take me to have a look when she’s free, okay? ”

While she was speaking, she held onto Madame SHen’s wrist and shook it a few times. Her bright eyes blinked as she stared, like a greedy cat.

Madame SHen burst out in laughter at the sight of Jin Lan’s face. He reached out his hand and tapped her forehead, “I knew that you were a fool and would never find a good wife in the future.”

Jin Lan pouted, but there was nothing to be said in his eyes, “Lan Er doesn’t want to marry, Lan Er wants to accompany his mother for the rest of her life!”

The Madame SHen was flabbergasted, “What nonsense! How can a girl not get married? ”

Jin Lan had a bright smile on his face, and did not bother with Madame SHen at all. “Mother, it’s already noon in half a month’s time.”

“Yes, the imperial edict allows your father to arrive immediately after noon. I’m afraid that from tomorrow onwards, he will have to busy himself with preparations.” The Madame SHen sighed, Ye Family had taken root in his body for many years, and almost all of his business was done in his Yangzhou, so if he was in a hurry right now, it would be hard to deal with him.

There was also Shang Jing’s words. There was a high chance that Lan Er would be in danger again, so no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t think of any good methods.

Seeing her daughter’s face which grew more and more exquisite, Madame SHen secretly decided that she had to hurry on with the matter of Meng Family.

In the evening, Madame SHen brought Jin Lan to the Jiayu Hall, and the old lady specially placed the dinner there. The dishes were naturally more sumptuous than usual, other than the two aunts who served the cloth dishes while standing, everyone else, including Ye Yu, sat down.

Perhaps knowing the importance of this family banquet, whether it was Concubine Ning or Ye Jinwei, both of them stopped thinking and obediently accompanied the old lady for her meal.

This was perhaps the only time in all of Ye Family that the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.

Initially, Cheng Fu Shan had already secretly made a move and wanted to make Ye Lin suffer, but this sudden decree not only disrupted his plans, it also allowed the Second Prince to reevaluate Ye Lin’s value, and immediately let his people send a secret letter, saying that he had to hand Ye Lin over well!

However, after receiving the decree, Ye Lin, who had been conversing with his aide throughout the night, suddenly made the decision to close the doors and thank his guests.

Otherwise, they would have to look for another method. After all, Ye Lin had been an official in the Yangzhou for many years, so he would at least know a little about secrets that could not be exposed. If news of this were to spread to the ears of the emperor, there would probably be a river of blood flowing through the official Yangzhou.

Ye Lin was naturally clear of this point, which was why he accepted the gifts that each family sent over. This was to give everyone a peace of mind.

Compared to Ye Lin’s caution, Madame SHen was extremely busy.

After all, in order to enter the capital, one had to use silver everywhere. Although the Ye Family had a foundation, most of it were antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and other gold and silver artifacts that were passed down as family heirlooms. The public did not have much silver in stock, and other than the thousand silver that was given to the servants to pass down to them, there was only less than twenty thousand silver left in total.

For a few days straight, Madame SHen held the account book and calculated until late into the night, causing Jin Lan’s heart to ache. He could only grind his way to Madame SHen’s side and think of a way to help.

Seeing that her daughter seemed to have a talent for housekeeping, and that she was unable to do anything about it, Madame SHen handed over her private storage to count. Inside were all of Madame SHen’s dowry, all that needed to do was to look at the list.

This was the first time Jin Lan realized that his mother’s wealth was actually this great. Other than the few priceless antique calligraphies and paintings, as well as all kinds of gold and silver items, as well as jewelry and items, there was no shortage of them in his private treasury.

No wonder in her previous life, she had heard Concubine Shao mention that when her mother was married, it was as good as ten miles of red makeup.

Seeing Jin Lan’s dumbstruck expression, Mama Zhu wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes and said proudly: “Miss, the glory of my wife’s marriage, has been mentioned by people within the Yangzhou City to this day.”

Jin Lan’s gaze swept across the boxes of precious treasures. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart: That’s right! As the first daughter of Shen Family, her mother was so beautiful back then. If she hadn’t married Ye Lin, the heartless man, she probably wouldn’t have been so haggard.

Although Madame SHen had been bedridden all these years, she still kept the private treasury tightly in her hands, not allowing Concubine Shao to calculate the slightest. As a result, the brocade waves were exceptionally relaxed.

As the days passed by, although the villa outside was gradually completed, Madame SHen also slowly relaxed. In just two days, she would arrive at noon, other than preparing for the festivals in the manor, she finally raised her pen and sent a message to Madame Qin.

In the morning of the second day, Madame Qin came to the Ye Mansion alone. Madame SHen had been waiting for a long time, and upon her arrival, she was invited into the Madame SHen’s room.

The two of them sat down and chatted for a while, before Madame SHen couldn’t wait to speak.
