After traveling through time, I became the aunt of the loyal dog emperor

"It's clear as day."

The mother-in-law showed a somewhat mysterious expression, pulled Wan Ning aside, and described to her in a vivid and colorful way. Wan Tao was a little far away and couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about, but she observed the mother-in-law very carefully.

Compared with the burly man just now, this mother-in-law looked particularly petite and thin. Standing next to Le Yan, she was only as tall as her shoulders. Her dry and yellow hair was casually combed into an old woman's bun, and she was wearing a headscarf on the outside. Her clothes were washed white and had several patches on them. This was very common in Chu State, and it seemed that any one of them would look like this.

"You did a good job," she whispered, and then she walked back happily, saying, "I'll leave the rest to you guys."

"It's just a small matter, young lady, you don't have to be polite." After saying that, the mother-in-law turned around and shouted to the crowd, "Listen, young men from Chenjia Village, pay attention to my gestures later, act according to the situation, and be alert and don't delay the young lady's important matter."

"Yes," everyone shouted in unison.

I really didn't expect that this thin and inconspicuous old lady in front of me was actually the leader of this group of people. Wan Tao was very surprised, but she didn't show it on her face. Under the instructions of the old lady, the group of people quickly split into two groups, and then each group dispersed and left South Street and disappeared into the crowd. When most people had left, the old lady came behind Douzi and saw that his face was covered with mung bean powder.

The mother-in-law couldn't bear to watch it either. She frowned and slapped him hard on the back, scolding him, "You little ancestor, why are you eating like this again? Have you forgotten all the etiquette I taught you?"

"No, grandma." The slap was really strong and it made Douzi feel itchy. Douzi stretched out his hand to scratch the itch and explained to his grandmother, "I remember everything." After saying that, he did not forget to wipe his mouth with his sleeve. However, wiping his mouth with clothes was also something his grandmother forbade him to do, so he was slapped again.

"Hurry up and say goodbye to your sister. We have to go do some work." Seeing him scratching his head, the mother-in-law was amused. Her kindness prevailed and she stopped scolding him.

A man who looked like an ox lowered his head in front of the thin mother-in-law, as weak as a chicken, standing aside obediently with his hands on both sides of his body, nodding obediently. Before leaving, the mother-in-law skillfully pulled out a rope from Douzi's waist and tied it to her arm.

"What a strange grandmother and granddaughter pair." Wan Tao walked to Wan Ning and couldn't help but sigh.

"We can't help it. Douzi is not very strong and his brain is not very good. He got lost a while ago and almost got into trouble. Grandma had no choice but to come up with the idea of ​​tying him up by her side."

"But how did the princess get to know them?"

"This is a long story, I'll tell you next time when I have time. It's getting late now, and the Six Stars Station should be almost ready, so let's go there."

Sure enough, when they arrived at the Six Stars Terrace, the terrace was already crowded with people. They were all there to watch the fun, wanting to know what the princess was up to or to watch the fun.

Wan Ning was not in a hurry to calm the crowd down, but stopped the carriage not far away and watched until everyone's patience was about to run out and the crowd gradually became anxious and outspoken. Originally, the rumors and speculations about the princess's wealth were discussed in private, but now that patience was gone, no one cared about it anymore, and the whispers gathered together and gradually became noisy.

"Princess?" Wan Tao had been with the princess for a long time and had some understanding of her temper. Seeing that she was calm and composed, there was no need to say anything else.

"The princess may be feeling guilty and cannot provide any evidence that she has not amassed wealth." Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted.

People began to agree: "Yes, if there is something wrong, why not just speak it out? Why hide?"

"I heard that the princess amassed a lot of wealth, and she took everything, big or small. It is said that she even took away a quilt."

"Oh, what do you know? That's not an ordinary quilt - it's a brocade quilt. Brocade quilts are very precious and rare, you know!"

"I don't care what kind of quilt she has. Taking advantage of the suffering of ordinary people to make money, is this still a human being?"

The crowd was like a bunch of dandelions, being teased back and forth by a pair of invisible big hands, making them lose their ability to think, and still think that their judgment and analysis were exceptionally good. Their emotions were also aroused, as if Le Yan would be drowned by their spit if she appeared in front of them.

"It's time, let's go!" Wan Ning saw that the time was ripe, so she called Wan Tao to follow, and she strode up to the six-star platform.

The county magistrate on the stage saw the princess coming, and hurriedly ran to greet her respectfully. Strangely enough, the crowd that had been extremely angry just now suddenly became silent, and some people lowered their heads and blushed, wondering if the princess had heard what they had just said.

"I have kept you waiting for a long time. Today, we have gathered at the Six Stars Platform because I have good news to announce. Thanks to everyone's hard work and generosity, the disaster victims in Sangcheng have received proper assistance. So today is the time for me to fulfill my promise."

After Wan Ning finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and several guards carried something onto the stage, attracting everyone's attention.

"Here are the prizes for the second and third place winners of the grain donation competition. Everyone has seen the famous painting for the third place winner, so I won't introduce it in detail." Wan Ning winked, and Wan Tao walked to the second place prize and opened it. Everyone was shocked again.

"Princess, what is that big thing?" A child under the stage was attracted by the biggest thing and pointed at it and asked naively. However, his mother covered his mouth with her hand for fear of offending the princess.

"This is a special prize," he said as he walked to the side and personally lifted the covering curtain, followed by a burst of "Wow" exclamations.

"Boss Su of Cuicanlou gave his all in this food-raising activity and gave up the competition for the prize. He deserves praise. This plaque of 'Model Merchant' is specially given to Cuicanlou."

"'Business Model', although the content is a bit simple and vulgar, the word is vigorous, powerful, elegant and free. It appears unrestrained on the outside but has strength on the inside. I wonder which master's work this is?" An old man in the audience praised repeatedly and couldn't help asking Wan Ning a question.

"Master Ziheng wrote this." Wan Ning thought silently in her heart, and turned to look at the words on the plaque with a slightly appreciative look. "It is indeed very beautiful, but is it so exaggerated? Are these four words 'Business Model' really so tacky? But if he knew that others praised his calligraphy so much, he would definitely be happy." Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.

"Princess, Princess!" Suddenly someone interrupted his reverie. He looked closely and found that it was Boss Pan Wenxi, who won a place in the last competition. He heard that Princess Le Yan would present awards here today, so he called a band of gongs and drums to wait not far away. When he received the prize, he would let them carry it around the city. Now he only saw a few others, and he couldn't help but feel very disappointed and confused.

"Boss Pan?"

"It's me. When will my prize be awarded?"
