Chapter 451 To be transferred
Xiao Wu then revealed the purpose of their visit: "Let me tell you first, at worst you will be crowned a county lord. When that happens, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long."
Ye Mingzhu was a little confused, so Xiaowu explained, "Hongyu has already written a memorial about his discovery of a silver mine at sea. This matter involves a wide range of people, and all the people on the island will probably be transferred elsewhere."
"If you are conferred the title of Xiangjun, then Hongyu's official position will probably be raised. Brother Li wants me to ask Hongyu if there is any place he wants to go. If so, Brother Li can help."
Ye Mingzhu frowned and thought for a long time before she realized that Xiaowu had been laying the groundwork for so long just to say that Jiang Hongyu would be transferred.
She was a little speechless. She should have just said no. This ability to gasp for breath while speaking was amazing.
Xiaowu originally wanted to lay the groundwork and say that the Yu family did not withhold her credit and this time, they even helped her.
The letter from the Yu family to Yu Jiaming clearly stated that Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu had already been noticed by Beijing, and asked them to maintain a good relationship.
What Aunt Gui did was based on Yu's mother's ideas and did not represent the Yu family's attitude.
Xiaowu expressed this idea implicitly, but Ye Mingzhu didn't know whether it was acceptable or not.
No matter whether you keep a distance from them or draw a distinction between them, these things have been done. Even if it is Yu's mother's intention, it is not necessarily Yu's mother's idea alone.
Xiao Wu wanted to explain further, but Ye Mingzhu waved her hand: "Xiao Wu, I already know about this matter. You don't need to say more. If I can be conferred the title of a county lord or a township lord, I will definitely thank you very much."
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared." Xiao Wu felt like he had messed up.
Ye Mingzhu did not ask any more questions about this matter because she was not interested in the titles of county lady and township lady.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now she was finding more and more that Yu Jiaming and Xiao Wu were too cunning and scheming, so she should keep her distance from them.
If Xiaowu knew that his visit not only failed to sell well but had the opposite effect, he would probably regret it to death.
Because Jiang Hongyu was not at home, Ye Mingzhu asked Ye Yunan and Luodou to have dinner with Xiaowu.
When Xiaowu left, he said that if there was any news in Beijing, they would immediately tell Ye Mingzhu. Ye Mingzhu smiled and saw Xiaowu off.
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou hugged Ye Mingzhu.
The green bean man said in a sly way, "Sister, do you want me to write a letter to my grandfather?"
"What?" Ye Mingzhu was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted: "Did you hear what Xiaowu and I said?"
"Well, we all heard it. Isn't it just the position of a county lord? It's not as difficult as Brother Xiaowu said. I can do it by writing a letter to my grandfather."
Green Bean looked confident.
Ye Mingzhu touched his head and said, "No need. Sister is not interested in this county lady."
Green Bean asked in confusion, "But just now, Brother Xiaowu said that you were given the title of County Lady and your brother-in-law will also be promoted."
Ye Mingzhu said patiently, "Ludou, your brother-in-law got promoted because he was good at his job, not because your grandfather asked for it. You stay in our family and act like my younger brother."
Although Ludou was young, he was sensitive and quickly reacted. He snuggled up to Ye Mingzhu and said, "Sister, whether you are a county lady or not, you are still my sister."
Ye Mingzhu touched his head and said, "Of course. I told you that you are my cousin, so how can it be false?"
"Besides, even if the court conferred upon me the title of county lord, it would be because of my meritorious service in growing sweet potatoes, not because you are here."
Ye Mingzhu was led by Ludou and ignored Xiangjun.
"Yeah." Although Luodou nodded, his eyes were rolling around. He wanted to write a letter to his grandfather. His sister was so good that not only the county lady, but even the county mistress would do the same.
What Ye Mingzhu didn't know was that although Prince Jing's Mansion agreed to let Ludou stay here, they still sent a lot of people to monitor the Jiang family. As long as Ye Mingzhu did anything bad to Ludou, Ludou would be taken away immediately.
These people would send a letter to the capital every three days, and almost anything related to mung beans would be included.
Luodou also just found out about this. After he started learning martial arts, not only did his physical strength improve and he grew taller, but his observation skills also became sharper. One time when he was out on the street, he found someone following him, and he looked especially like the guards from Prince Jing's mansion.
He hid himself, pretended not to be there, and immediately tricked the person out.
At first, Luodou was very angry, thinking that his grandfather did not trust Ye Mingzhu, but the commander of the guards said that Luodou was the only master left in Prince Jing's mansion, so it was normal for Prince Jing to do so.
After all, she grew up in a wealthy family, and the situation in Prince Jing's Mansion was special. Although Luodou was unhappy, she still understood Prince Jing's approach.
Now he wanted to write a letter to Prince Jing, which would arrive soon. He couldn't let his sister's position as a county lady slip away.
After returning to his room, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to the guards of Prince Jing's Mansion, asking them to send it back to Beijing.
Prince Jing opened the letter with great joy, but he did not expect that the whole letter was full of praise for Ye Mingzhu, and asked him to keep an eye on Ye Mingzhu's position as a county lady, and it would be best if she could be made a county mistress or something like that.
Fortunately, Ludou knew to express his longing for him and his mother in the end, otherwise, Prince Jing would definitely not help.
In Pinggu Town, Ye Mingzhu thought for a while and decided to go back to Yuanshan Village to find a chance to tell Jiang Hongyu about this.
However, before she could leave, Jiang Hongyu came back.
"You mean, we might leave?" Ye Mingzhu didn't expect Jiang Hongyu to come back to tell her this.
"Yes, the silver mine discovered last time has relatively large implications. All the people guarding the gold mine will be transferred away one after another, so we must also make preparations in advance." Jiang Hongyu said with some concern.
"Maybe, we will leave before Mother and Uncle Yan come back."
A question suddenly popped up in Ye Mingzhu's mind. Xiaowu said that she might be conferred the title of county lady or township lady. Does that have anything to do with the silver mine?
"Mingzhu, you don't seem surprised at all?" Jiang Hongyu noticed that Ye Mingzhu's reaction was not right, and she didn't seem surprised at all.
"Xiaowu came to me yesterday and told me about this matter. You might be transferred, and he also said that I might be conferred the title of county lady or township lady." Ye Mingzhu repeated what Xiaowu said yesterday.
Jiang Hongyu frowned and walked around the room, thinking for a moment: "Perhaps, we can take this opportunity to move to a better place."
Even if all the people guarding the gold mine were transferred, there might not be suitable positions for them. If there were someone in Beijing, it would be a different situation.
"Fu Chengyun might be transferred. He wants me to go back to Beijing with him and join the Imperial Guard. I want to go to Linchang, which is close to the sea and more suitable for us."
Jiang Hongyu had already visited all the borders of the Dashun Dynasty. Linchang was the place he chose for himself to garrison, but he didn't know whether he could go there.
