I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

Zheng Yunyun walked in and heard what Yao Wenhong said.

She frowned and her eyes fell on Xiao Yunzhan's hair.

"It seems like... there's nothing wrong."

"Mom, please touch Fourth Brother's hair and see how it goes."

How could lightning strike my fourth brother out of nowhere?

Since my fourth brother ascended the throne, he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately. He even issued a general amnesty and exempted the people from taxes for three years.

As long as those officials who had previously been at odds with the Xiao family did not make any mistakes in principle, my fourth brother did not pursue them.

Among all the civil and military officials in the capital, only the former Defei family and the descendants of Emperor Wu of Liang were executed.

A normal emperor who came to power through rebellion would do this, so why was he struck by lightning?

“.....Okay.” Old Madam Xiao’s voice was trembling, and her hand trembled as she covered Xiao Yunzhan’s head.

"Mother~~"

As soon as Xiao Yunzhan opened his eyes, he saw Old Madam Xiao's face blocking his way.

Madam Xiao's hands trembled, and she looked at Xiao Yunzhan excitedly.

"Old Four, you're awake, are you feeling unwell?"

When Old Madam Xiao withdrew her hand, she quickly glanced at Xiao Yunzhan's hair.

Seeing that her hair did not fall off, her panicked heart finally settled down.

As long as the hair doesn't fall out.

Xiao Yunzhan frowned and sat up from the bed.

He looked around, seeing the worried eyes of his mother and sisters-in-law, and smiled faintly.

"I'm fine. I just feel a little electrical numb for a while. I'll be fine after the shock subsides."

"There's nothing uncomfortable about it."

As he said that, Xiao Yunzhan got out of bed and stretched his body in front of everyone.

The internal force traveled around the body and found nothing abnormal.

Of course, that chop didn't improve his internal strength at all.

I was lucky enough not to be killed by the lightning.

After the event, Xiao Yunzhan raised his hand and touched his hair with a slightly worried look.

When he felt that his hair was still on his head, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"My face isn't black, is it?"

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Old Madam Xiao with a little concern.

Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yunzhan's nervous expression and smiled.

"It's not dark, just like usual."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunzhan breathed a sigh of relief.

If he was burned black by lightning, how would he face Ranran in the future?

It's not like he hadn't seen Emperor Wu of Liang's dark head before. It was like he had changed into a different species.

He could accept the dark and powerful skin color of the soldiers.

But I can’t accept the matte black of Emperor Wu of Liang, it’s so ugly.

"Let's go, let's go have the New Year's Eve dinner, don't scare Ling Yan and Ling Hui."

After feeling that he was not feeling unwell, Xiao Yunzhan took the lead and walked towards the living room.

He had no idea what was going on.

I can only ask someone from the Imperial Observatory about the thunder and lightning tomorrow.

......

"Last night there was a sudden thunder and lightning. Do you know what happened?"

Xiao Yunzhan sat at the desk and raised his eyelids to look at the people from the Imperial Observatory.

The most capable person in the Imperial Observatory was Ma Ximing.

It’s a pity that Ma Ximing hasn’t come to the capital yet, and he’s probably already gone to the south city.

However, being able to work in the Imperial Observatory requires some ability.

The people from the Imperial Observatory looked at each other and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, if there is thunder in winter, the earth will shake. This is probably not a good sign."

“We need to prepare for disaster relief by stockpiling food.”

There is also a saying that thunder in winter is caused by the indiscriminate killing of lives in spring and summer.

But this matter has nothing to do with the new emperor.

It was already winter when Emperor Yongchang ascended the throne, and the new emperor did not kill any lives indiscriminately, so the people in the Imperial Observatory did not dare to say this aloud.

Their abilities are far inferior to Ma Ximing's, and they can't explain exactly what happened.

However, it's always a good idea to prepare more food.

Yongchang is such a large country, there will always be natural disasters somewhere, and it will definitely match what they said.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at the evasive expressions of the people in the Imperial Observatory, sighed, and waved his hand.

"Go back!"

These people can only calculate an auspicious day or something, but they can't calculate what really happens.

After Ma Ximing finishes his work in Nancheng, he must transfer people back to the capital.

Ranran has Ma Chengye by his side, but he doesn’t have anyone around him who understands astronomy. How can that work?

He didn't believe in these things before, but after following Ran Ran, he began to believe in these fortune-tellers.

Especially Ma Chengye’s incredible talent.

Any emperor would make great use of Ma Chengye.

With Ma Chengye, a lot of dangers can really be avoided.

Of course, even without Ma Chengye, Ma Ximing would still be considered an outstanding figure.

Thinking of Ranran, Xiao Yunzhan hesitated for a long time, but still sent her a message.

He can't contact Ma Ximing now, but he can contact Ranran and ask her to ask Ma Chengye.

[Ran Ran, Happy New Year, did you stay up last night? 】

Xiao Yunzhan stared at the chat box with a sweet smile on his face.

.......

Snow City....

"My dear, I got a penny!"

Han Song held up the copper coin in his hand, bared his teeth and looked happily at Lin Yiran at the main table.

Everyone who was concentrating on eating dumplings looked up at the copper coin in Han Song's hand, their eyes full of envy.

Lin Yiran raised her eyelids and looked over, smiling,

"Okay, the first person to eat the copper coin will get ten taels of silver!"

"It costs one copper coin and one tael of silver. After you finish eating, go find Chief Lin to exchange it."

There were 200 copper coins wrapped in the dumplings, and each of the children could eat about 20 dumplings. Even if they were unlucky, they could still get a copper coin.

The dumplings in these children’s bowls were all made by Lin Changshou.

He only needs to shake the spoon to know whether there are copper coins in the dumplings.

So there were dumplings with copper coins in the bowls of these children, and it just depended on who got to eat it first.

Lin Changshou, who was named, stood up with a smile and patted the bag of silver in his hand.

"That's enough. Come and exchange your money with the chief after dinner."

hey-hey! !

After the Chinese New Year, when he paid New Year's greetings to his ancestors in the morning, he not only received a big red envelope of New Year's money, but was also named the patriarch of the Lin family.

This year has been great.

God knows how excited he was when he heard the ancestor say that he would be the patriarch of the Lin family in the future.

Until now, his heartbeat has not calmed down.

As soon as he heard the three words "Patriarch Lin", he became so excited that his whole body was floating.

"Wow!!" Everyone exclaimed excitedly when they heard the sound of Lin Changshou bidding for silver.

Then a child stood up holding a copper coin, and his excited and loud voice spread throughout the hall.

"I... I got a copper too!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another child stood up excitedly, "Haha, I got it!"

In an instant, the hall was filled with the sounds of surprise from children who had received copper coins.

The hall was filled with the happy atmosphere of the New Year, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Lin Yiran looked at everyone's excited expressions, picked up a dumpling and put it into her mouth with a smile.
