Chapter 378: Died of
Annoyance As soon as the decree of reward was issued, all the villages, and even the entire Yuncheng, have known about it.
Daxi Village was unwilling to send people out at first, but now they are dumbfounded and regretful.
You know, if they go out for two months, they can get a reward of 100 taels of silver.
Even if they have to squeeze their heads out, they must go to the army.
There are also Qiaotou Village and Qingshui Village. Although they were hesitant at the time, they still followed Daxi Village in the end. Several villages did not send anyone out, and could only watch others get rich.
Zhang Fanjian’s village sent six people and got a full 600 taels.
They came to congratulate, and they were smiling and pulling the village chief of Xishan Village to join them, and thanked them again.
Seeing Zhang Fanjian was so proud that he was exchanging greetings with the people of Daliu Village,
the head of Daxi Village was furious and rushed forward to settle accounts with Fengze, blaming him for not telling them about the reward earlier, causing their village to miss a good opportunity.
"I want to ask you today!"
The head of Daxi Village pushed everyone away, stared at Fengze with his cloudy eyes, and spit on his face, "Jiang family boy, did your village know that the court could reward a lot of money!"
"Otherwise, how come your village has signed up, but we are kept in the dark? Aren't you cheating us?" His eyes were red.
Jiang Fengze wiped his face, and seeing that it was the old guy again, he didn't intend to make a fuss again.
"Don't take advantage of your age and act stupid in front of everyone." Jiang Fengze frowned, "I said it clearly that day that the court would reward me generously this time. Didn't you say that I was just talking nonsense and refused to believe it?"
Zhang Fanjian hurriedly agreed, "Yes, yes, I heard it clearly at that time. Uncle Jiang really said it."
The village chief got angry when he saw the people from Daxi Village, rolled up his sleeves and cursed.
"You old thing, why are you coming to our village to make a fool of yourself on such a good day?"
"You didn't go to the conscription and insisted that Fengze was deceiving people. As a result, you regret it now and blame Fengze for not telling you about the benefits earlier!" The village chief's eyes were wide open, "It's really unfair. You let you say everything, right!"
Old Li also rushed over and spit.
"Bah, these guys are so two-faced, you are so fucking double-faced, believe it or not, I will slap you in the face!"
The head of Daxi Village was so angry that he was almost dead.
He was so angry that his lips trembled.
But think about it carefully, he was not wrong...
At that time, Jiang Fengze asked them to cooperate with the conscription in a nice way, but they just thought it was a harm and scolded him.
Now, others have received rewards and made a fortune, and they have become rich like the smoke coming out of their ancestors' tombs. Even if they stare their eyes out, they can only bear it.
The head of Daxi Village covered his chest with his hands, his eyes were full of bloodshot.
He bent his waist and snorted, and then took the heads of Qiaotou Village and Qingshui Village back.
As a result, just after leaving the village, the old village chief got so angry that he fainted on the ground.
Zhang Fanjian was happy.
This time, except for Daliu Village, their village had the most visitors and received the most reward silver.
His family was small, and although no one was sent out,
the men in the village who went to the army were grateful to him, and each of them took out two taels of reward silver and a large bag of rice as a special honor to him.
As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero, and following the Jiang family, even those from other villages can live better and better.
So from that day on, the villagers of Zhangjia Village regarded the Jiang family as gods, and spoke well of the Jiang family and Daliu Village whenever they met someone.
As for Daxi Village, within three days, the whole village was in mourning.
Around noon, Mrs. Liu came back from visiting relatives and started chatting with everyone.
"Have you heard that the stubborn old village chief of Daxi Village is dead?" Mrs. Liu said with a click of the
tongue. Mrs. Feng walked forward while cracking melon seeds, wondering, "How could he be dead? He was still full of energy when he came to our village to scold people that day, and his eyes were almost popping out of his chubby face."
Mrs. Liu shook her head, "Well, after I went back that day, I heard from the villagers that the old village chief had a surge of blood and qi, and he became paralyzed when he returned home."
"That would have been fine, but he got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and he died of anger yesterday evening."
Mrs. Feng's face was indifferent, and she didn't think there was anything to sympathize with.
A living person can anger himself to death, who can he blame, it's all his own fault.
Now, the Little New Year has just passed, and Mu Yihan is not in a hurry to return to Beijing, so he takes Xiao Nuobao to the city to buy New Year's goods.
They lived a happy life
together. But in the capital, the big and small were in great commotion.
Now, knowing that a new princess appeared in the Nanji Kingdom, the nobles and high-ranking families could not sit still.
They did not know the identity of little Nuobao, let alone that she was the daughter of the imperial master.
So people just followed what they heard and made all kinds of guesses.
People only knew that Nuobao was the sister of the new uncle, so they thought that this child could become a princess because of her brother's merits.
"Everyone, please speak freely. Tell me what the Imperial Master is up to this time."
"We all know that the Imperial Master is eager to recruit talents and values military commanders, but he shouldn't use the princess's position as a reward, right?"
"After going south, it's not enough to confer the title of Earl, but you also want to confer the title of Princess on a peasant girl? It's simply absurd!"
"It's really unruly. Can a princess be conferred casually? Nan Ji is unfortunate!"
Many people criticized him verbally, but they were sour in their hearts, and they thought Mu Yihan was really crazy.
Not only the court officials were puzzled, but also the princesses, county ladies and other noble ladies in the capital were angry.
Could it be that they have been noble for generations, but in the end, they are still inferior to a small peasant girl in the north?
At the Imperial Palace, at the Han Dowager's plum blossom viewing banquet, everyone was not interested in the plum blossoms, and they were all talking about it.
At this time, only the daughter of the Han family, the sought-after talented woman Han Rouran, remained calm.
"Why worry? The Imperial Master is so arrogant, how could he really give such respect to a peasant girl?"
She had gentle eyes and whispered softly, "In my opinion, the Imperial Master must have other purposes for such a reward. Maybe he wants to make her a princess and use her as a marriage partner in the future. It's hard to say."
I really don't know what's in the mind of this eight-year-old girl.
Even if they wanted a princess for marriage, they wouldn't pick a child under three years old...
But there are many flatterers in the capital, and there are also many stupid people.
When they heard that it was Han, the talented woman in the capital, the little emperor's sister, the daughter of the Han family, Rouran's guess, they all believed it. They
just thought that Nuobao was really a marriage.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, she won't come to the capital in the future. Even if her status seems to be higher, we can't see her, and there is no need to greet her. She is a princess staying in the village, just for her own entertainment, it's nothing serious." Han Rouran picked up the teacup, her little face was calm.
And how could they know that at this moment, in Dalui Village, Mu Yihan had just made a decision.
"This New Year, I will be in the village, spending it with you."
"After the first month of the year, I will bring Nuobao back to the capital to be worshipped by the people. You should make some preparations and go together then." Mu Yihan said in a calm voice as he sat on the chair.
