332: Happy Events Are Coming

When the Zhao family heard what Shen Zian said, they looked at each other and stood up reluctantly. They looked at this elegantly decorated and warm house and thought that it would be difficult to come back in the future. The people here did not welcome them. They did not want to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Su Zhi suddenly called them, she remembered that there was something very important she hadn't asked.

Zhao Yang's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "Why? Su Zhi, are you reluctant to let us go? I told you, we have treated you as our own daughter for more than a year, how could you be reluctant to leave us! As long as you don't say anything and we don't say anything, you are still our daughter."

Su Zhi looked at the expectations on the faces of the Zhao family and the smug expression of Zhao Yang, and tried hard not to twitch her skin. She wondered how could Zhao Yang be so shameless!

"That's not it. I want to ask you, where did you find me? What was my condition at that time?"

Zhao Yang's face fell, and she said to Zhao Daxi, "You talk to her."

At first, it was Zhao Daxi who picked up Su Zhi and brought her back. He looked at Su Zhi and thought that this was fate, but it was a pity that this was where the fate ended.

"It was about this time last year when I went to collect firewood outside the village and found you lying in the woods. I took you home. The clothes you were wearing were quite dirty, but not too torn. You were already sick. You didn't like to talk at the time. You didn't want to say anything when I asked you. You had already forgotten everything that happened before."

Zhao Daxi thought about the situation at that time and told it aloud, but he didn't go into too much detail, as if that was the situation at the time.

Su Zhi said, "I didn't have anything on me at the time, did I? You didn't hide it, did you? If you did, take it out and I'll exchange it for silver."

Su Zhi didn't really think that the true identity of this body of hers would be a great person. She just wanted to avoid some trouble. She didn't want to leave any evidence in the hands of the Zhao family. She could imagine that if it was beneficial to them, they would sell her out without hesitation.

Lotus said, "Didn't you listen to what my father said? When we found you, you were wearing tattered clothes and you were as thin as a branch. What treasures could you have? You didn't want to cheat us of something, did you? There's no such thing!"

Zhao Yang also said: "No, no! Definitely not!"

Su Zhi thought that even if there was one, it would not come back, but since it was most likely not, she gave up thinking about it.

"You guys go."

The three Zhao family members saw Su Zhi asking them to leave again. They had no choice but to leave. On the way back, the three of them looked unhappy. They came here this time to ask Su Zhi for help, but she didn't help them and ruined their relationship. It was a big blow.

"Mom, are we just going to let it go? That's too easy for her!"

Lianhua looked back at Fuyuan, her eyes sparkling with jealousy. This was supposed to be her sister's home, but now it was given to an outsider who didn't even have the qualifications to come in. It was so hateful.

Zhao Yang said angrily: "What else can we do?! They now know your sister's identity, and now your sister doesn't want the Zhang family to know her identity. She has to keep it a secret! Let's go home and don't come here anymore. I get angry every time I come here. Our Zhao family has no fate with this place!"

Lianhua could only pout and follow Zhao Yangshi. Zhao Daxi also sighed and followed the mother and daughter.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi sent the Zhao family away. They both felt relieved, thinking that they would not have to bother with this family anymore, at least for the time being.

A few days later, Fuyuan had another happy event. The county magistrate came in person with a group of people to give them a reward. At that time, a riot broke out in the county. Shen Zian and Su Zhi had made great contributions. The county magistrate was grateful and wrote a memorial to them. As a result, the emperor gave them a reward when he heard about it.

Not only did the county magistrate come, but even the prefect came, accompanied by a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, and a shrill voice. Other villagers might not know who this person was, but Su Zhi knew that this was the eunuch in the palace. She thought to herself that she was indeed a time-traveling woman. Although she was just a peasant woman, she still managed to lead the eunuch out. Maybe one day, she would be able to meet the people in the palace! The heroines in the novels she had seen were all very popular in the palace, and she didn't know what she would do. But she was just thinking about it. She still wanted to live an ordinary country life with Shen Zian and the children. This kind of leisurely life making money was what she longed for.

While the main force was arriving, the county magistrate sent someone to deliver a message and prepare the table and incense for receiving the imperial edict. When the eunuch arrived, everyone just had to kneel down together to receive the edict.

Not only Shen Zian and Su Zhi were not timid people, but Old Man Lan and his wife and their three little ones were also brave. They knelt there very calmly. Liu Jin and Liu Yin were a little excited, but they calmed down.

Su Zhi looked at Liu Jin and Liu Yin's performance and nodded secretly, thinking that these two young men would be very useful in the future. If they were willing to sign a death contract, that would be great, and she would teach them the great task. If it was a living contract, she would really have to think about it, after all, she had all the businesses that made a lot of money. If it really didn't work, she could only choose those businesses that were not easy to steal and let them manage them.

Su Zhi just thought about it for a moment, and then took everyone to sit in the house.

Many people came, and most of them stood outside. Only the eunuchs who announced the imperial edict, the prefects and county magistrates, and their close followers entered the house.

Fortunately, the living room in Su Zhiding's home was large enough to accommodate at least a few adults.

"My lords, please have some tea."

Liu Jin brought the tea. He was now fully recovered from his illness. He was handsome, dressed in green, and holding a lacquer tray with a delicate teapot and teacups on it. Although she was not a pretty maid from a wealthy family, she was presentable enough. Liu Yin helped pour the tea. The two brothers worked well together.

The tea bowl is the color of sky blue after rain, and it contains wild chrysanthemums. Su Zhi only made wild chrysanthemum and honeysuckle teas. She usually likes to make wild chrysanthemum tea, which she thinks is very beautiful, and today is no exception.

“Good tea!”

The eunuch took a sip and raised his eyebrows. He came from the palace, and although he was just a servant, he could drink very good tea, at least not worse than the tea in the homes of ordinary ministers. He originally had no hope for the tea here, but as soon as the tea was poured out, he was attracted by the fragrance of the tea. When he looked at the tea again, he couldn't help but pick up the tea bowl and take a sip. As soon as the tea entered his mouth, he felt a refreshing fragrance. When the tea flowed into his throat, he felt refreshed all over his body. He thought that this tea was really great. To be disrespectful, it might be better than the tea that the emperor drank!

The prefect was also praising it, but the county magistrate was not so surprised. He had been there before and had drunk it of course. He had also received a tube of tea from Su Zhi.

"Eunuch, sir, you don't know that Madam Shen is a master at making delicious tea. Drinking her tea makes me feel refreshed, as if I were 20 years younger. Since I drank her tea, I can't get used to drinking any other tea. It's a pity that Madam Shen is not a tea business, otherwise it would definitely be very prosperous."

Su Zhi smiled and said, "Master Zhou, you are too kind. Tea making requires great care. I have limited energy, and this is just rustic tea for my own drinking. If you like it, you can drink more."

Su Zhi thought that this tea was specially made by her, so of course it tasted special. She couldn't bear to make a large amount of it. Although there were still a lot of Lingquan Xianlian, as if they would never run out, she had to save some. Besides, this thing was precious in quality, not in quantity, so it was a good gift.

The eunuch nodded and took note of it in his heart, thinking of taking some back with him. The tea from the countryside was a little coarse, but it tasted really good.

Because this time it was the emperor's decree that was delivered, and there were many officials and celebrities, the villagers who were watching the excitement did not dare to enter the garden. In fact, they could not enter because there were soldiers and officials guarding outside to protect the safety of the adults who came to deliver the decree. The villagers all stood not far from the Fuyuan and watched, talking excitedly.

The people in Hebian Village were talking about it. They had also heard from others that the heavy rain had something to do with Su Zhi, but they had not paid much attention to it. However, seeing this situation now, they had to believe it and were all excited. They kept saying good things about Su Zhi and Shen Zian.

When the people from the Shen family's old house hurried over, they heard these people praising Shen Zian and his wife. They didn't know what expression they had on their faces. After all, such a great thing only fell on Shen Zian and his wife, but they didn't get any benefit. Even if they got some, they would feel unwilling to accept it, and they just felt that they were the ones who received the order.

Shen Ziju looked at the gate of Fuyuan with no expression on his face. He didn't know what he felt in his heart. He thought that he had been seeking fame and fortune, but how come his fourth brother, who had not studied as much as he did, had caught the emperor's attention first? He even received a special imperial decree to reward him. He felt a little sour in his heart. But he also knew that this was his chance. Not to mention the eunuch from the palace, at least he could get closer to the prefect and the county magistrate.

Shen Youfu led his family to the gate of Fuyuan and told the guards their identities. Despite the testimony of Old Man Lan, they were still not allowed in. They were only allowed in after reporting.

Shen Zhang was quite thoughtful. She only allowed Shen Youfu to bring her and Shen Ziju in. As for others, she did not let them in. She was afraid that if these people went in, she would lose face. If it affected Shen Ziju, that would be bad.

Although the people in the first house were disappointed, they also breathed a sigh of relief. The high officials in the courtyard were not people that ordinary people like them could meet whenever they wanted, so they were nervous. The people in the second house stood outside and had no intention of going in. Only the people in the third house were very unhappy and complained there, which made the people watching the excitement laugh at them secretly.
