Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

Chapter 260

The imperial decree was pulled out by a silk thread by Bai Sanzhuang's hand.

"Three strong!"

"Third Brother!"

"The third one!"

Lao Bai's family exclaimed in unison.

Bai Sanzhuang's heart almost stopped suddenly.

His hands are thick calluses from when he was an apprentice in a lacquerware shop, and he hasn't healed them even now that he has become the shopkeeper.He purposely soaked his hands in hot water at night, and Tian Maimiao carefully repaired the thick calluses for him, just to avoid scratching the imperial decree.

But a burr on the finger was missing.

The always clever third child of the Bai family was too frightened to move at this moment, his hands were trembling, and the silk thread hooked from the imperial decree was hanging on the burr on his hands, trembling with Bai Sanzhuang's trembling hands in the candlelight Ah, the end connected to the imperial decree is wrinkled.

"Grandma, father, mother..."

Bai Sanzhuang's voice was full of tears, and after shouting, he looked at the old lady Bai helplessly.

He felt that at critical moments, the old lady Bai, the backbone of the family, had to be reliable.

The old lady Bai clasped her hands together in fright.

If the imperial decree is broken, if people find out about it, they will have to be punished for the serious crime of despising the emperor and deceiving the emperor.

The old lady Bai had never experienced this, and it was the first time she saw the imperial decree, so she couldn't help but look at her daughter-in-law.

Zhen Shi was also taken aback.

Zhen Shi has experienced the consequences of offending the imperial power.

Her heart almost jumped out of her chest in fright.

"Grandma." Tian Maimiao, who has always been prudent, was so frightened that tears came down. He touched his eyes and looked at Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen for advice, "Mother, what should we do, San Zhuang..."

Tian Maimiao swallowed the unlucky words into her throat.

"San Zhuang, don't move, keep your hands steady."

Zhen suppressed her panic, and calmly told Bai Sanzhuang.Then get close to the imperial decree and find the source of the silk thread.

But it can't be broken.

However, I was afraid that the candle would accidentally burn to the imperial decree, so the candle was lit far away.In the hazy light, Mrs. Zhen searched for a long time but couldn't see where the source of the silk thread was.

"Chuntao, go and bring the candle closer."

"Grandma, I don't dare..." Xie Chuntao's hands trembled in fear, she was afraid that an unsteadiness would ignite the imperial decree.

You Jingui, who always liked to show off, shrank behind Xie Chuntao in fright.

Tian Maimiao, who was playing with a butcher's knife, did not dare to hold candles.

"Grandma, here comes the candle." Qiu Niang took the candle, held it steadily with one hand, and carefully protected it with the other.

The old lady Bai clutched her chest, praying for the blessings of her ancestors. This decree is the glory of the old Bai family. It has not had time to show it in front of the ancestral tablet. It is hard to be broken.

After searching for a long time, Mrs. Zhen couldn't find the end of the thread, and she was sweating anxiously.

"Mother, I'll come." Xiao Fuyuan said very calmly.

After speaking, she walked to the table, squatted down and lay her little head on the table, and at a glance, she pulled out the source of the silk thread, and she tore off the silk thread from third brother's hand with her small hand.

Then he stroked the silk with his hands, and it was another intact imperial decree.

"done."

How simple!

The Bai family looked down, and they couldn't see it if they weren't careful, but if they looked carefully, they could still see that a thread had come off.

Everyone collectively tensed up again.

Especially Bai Sanzhuang, I'm afraid not to bring disaster to the family because of himself.

Xiao Fuyuan stood up, looked at everyone's worried faces with big bright eyes, and said confidently: "The sacred decree is in our house, but others can't see it. What are you afraid of, as long as we don't tell it, who can know about it."

Bai Family: "..."

What Xiao Fuyuan said seemed to make sense.

"Xiao Yuanbao is right. I'll mend it with an embroidery needle tomorrow, and I guess it won't be visible." Zhen smiled to forgive everyone, she is good at embroidery.

"Third brother, you don't need to be afraid, and you don't need to feel guilty. You didn't do it on purpose, and you were not a child. Your hands became rough to support your family. Even if the emperor finds out in the future, he won't blame you. "Xiao Fuyuan comforted the third brother.

After appeasing the third child of the Bai family, he looked at the fifth child of the Bai family: "Fifth brother, it's your turn to touch it."

With Bai Sanzhuang's scare, Bai Zhaomei, who has always been bold, dared not touch her.

"Sister, fifth brother is afraid." Bai Zhaomei scratched her head, eagerly but cautiously said: "Or I won't touch it anymore."

This decree is really delicate.

Pull out a thread without moving.

In the past few days, he went to the mine with Meng Zhixu and Xie Xiaolian, and played kung fu with a red-tasseled gun, and his hands were no less callous than Bai Laosan.

If he was picking out the threads of the decree, the decree would be a rag.

"Sister Zhao, what are you afraid of? Since your sister lets you touch it, you can touch it." Old lady Bai ordered.

"Hurry up Fifth Brother, why don't you touch it."

Xiao Fuyuan simply took the imperial decree in his hand and unfolded it, and handed it to Bai Zhaomei: "Fifth brother, if you are like this, touch it hard, don't worry, nothing will happen."

The imperial decree was in Bai Zhaomei's hands, his heart was beating with excitement.

This is the imperial decree!

Taking a deep breath, I touched it lightly.

Sure enough, it feels very slippery!

"Sister, in the future I will go to the frontier with General Meng to make meritorious service, and the emperor will issue an imperial edict for me, right?" Bai Zhaomei imagined the voice of "Bai Zhaomei accepting the order".

"Yes, fifth brother." Xiao Fuyuan said very seriously.

The old lady Bai looked at her little granddaughter's red smiling face and big sparkling eyes, and she didn't doubt Xiao Fuyuan's conclusion at all.

"It's a pity that your fourth brother has returned to Huai City, so he can't touch it anymore." Old Madam Bai said.

Xiao Fuyuan rolled his eyes wide, and said sweetly, "Fourth brother will also receive the imperial edict in the future!"

"It's a good decree." Xiao Fuyuan added.

Then the daughters-in-law took turns touching, first from Xie Chuntao, to You Jingui, and then to Tian Maimiao, everyone touched it once.

After the daughter-in-law touched it, it was the nephew, and Dalang Erlang Saburo lined up to touch it excitedly.

"And Xiao Lang." Xiao Fuyuan looked at Xiao Lang who was babbling on the bed.

You Jingui burst into tears with excitement, vowing for the hundredth time to flatter her sister-in-law. Even Xiao Lang, who has a low sense of existence, can think of her sister-in-law's prosperity.

You Jingui hugged Xiao Lang, Xiao Fuyuan rolled the Holy Order in Xiao Lang's hands, Xiao Lang opened his mouth and was about to bite, but the old lady Bai quickly snatched it off.

Everyone was shocked again.

"And Sister Qiu." Xiao Fuyuan realized that Qiuniang hadn't touched her yet.

"I……"

"We're all a family now, Xiao Yuanbao let you touch it, don't dawdle." Old lady Bai said.

Qiuniang had no choice but to reach out her hand to touch it, and said while touching it, "I will help Auntie fix the snag tomorrow."

"Okay, everyone has touched it. Second child, now you teach everyone to read the words in the imperial decree. Everyone must not only follow the words tonight, but also memorize them." Bai Muban said.

The old lady Bai quite agreed, saying: "Except for Xiao Lang who can't speak, everyone must memorize it."

Xiao Fuyuan: "..."

There's no need to be so grand, right?

"These are all good things the emperor praised your sister, why do you have to memorize them? In the future, if others say bad things about Xiao Yuanbao outside, you will smash the emperor's words and see who dares to do so." The old lady Bai said, slapping her hands.

"Okay, memorize it." Bai Dazhuang was the first to express his opinion.

"Understood, grandma." Bai Sanzhuang said.

"I'm sleepy for reciting the book, but I'm not sleepy for reciting the imperial decree." Bai Zhaomei said with a smile.

"Grandma, we have to recite it too." Several daughters-in-law expressed their opinions one after another.

"Okay, let's start, second child." Bai Muban waved his hand.

The second son of the Bai family, a country master, was having a class at home for the first time. He was quite excited, cleared his throat and read: "The emperor said..."

The rest of the Bai family: "The emperor said..."
