"Yaojie's mother, what are you doing? What kind of meeting is this?" Jiang Linggang and the village chief walked out of the yard, and the village chief asked with some curiosity.

Jiang Ling glanced at the village chief. The matter of sanitary napkins would have to be brought up sooner or later. If she started mass production in the future, it would definitely become an open secret here.

However, Jiang Ling was in no hurry to tell the village chief about this. After all, the village chief was a man, and if he knew about this, it would probably take him a long time to process it.

"Who is the village chief looking for me?" Jiang Ling did not answer the village chief, but changed the subject.

The village chief didn't think much of it and quickened his pace, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's an important person!"

"An important person?" Jiang Ling didn't understand what the village chief meant by "important person," but seeing the village chief's anxious look, she quickened her pace just like him.

The two soon arrived at the village chief's house. When Jiang Ling saw who it was, she was startled.

The magistrate of Duan County goes without saying, and the governor of Qingzhou, whom Jiang Ling had also met, is standing next to him. As for the remaining person, his brocade robe and the jade thumb ring on his thumb are enough to prove that he is of noble status. Moreover, he is sitting, while the governor of Qingzhou and the magistrate of Duan County are standing. Behind him are four elderly men around fifty years old and four robust young men.

"This must be Madam An?" His sharp, piercing voice reached Jiang Ling's ears.

The voice was like a rough piece of sandpaper rubbing against her eardrums, causing pain. Jiang Ling nodded, bowed to the man in front of her, and said, "I am Madam An!"

"Hmm...much younger than I thought!" His sharp, piercing voice rang out again.

But this time, after hearing those words, Jiang Ling immediately knelt down. She saw that he was holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand. In this rigidly class-based era, only royalty could use such a bright yellow color. Jiang Ling wasn't stupid; seeing this scroll, she immediately discerned the man's identity.

"Hmm, not bad, she's a smart person. No wonder she's so popular with the Emperor!" He nodded in satisfaction as he saw Jiang Ling's actions.

“I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. My surname is Yin, and I am the Emperor’s personal eunuch. I’m here today to congratulate the Lady! Jiang from Lujia Village, receive the imperial decree!” He stood up from his chair and unfolded the imperial decree in his hand.

Upon seeing that it was an imperial edict, everyone immediately knelt down as well.

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Jiang of Lujia Village is exceptionally intelligent, having invented shampoo and successfully treated the plague. She is fearless in the face of power and dares to fight, earning my deepest favor. Effective immediately, she is hereby granted the title of Sixth-Rank Lady of the Court! She is bestowed with a thousand taels of gold, a mansion, four servants, and four guards! Lujia Village has been well-governed, and is hereby granted fifty mu of land! So be it!"

"You're the first person, Lady An, to have received two promotions from His Majesty!" Eunuch Yin said with a smile.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Jiang Ling led the crowd in saying.

"Get up, this old servant has delivered the message! You shall now be addressed as An'an! Congratulations!" Eunuch Yin smiled and placed the imperial edict in Jiang Ling's hands.

Jiang Ling carefully held the imperial edict, her heart filled with joy. She immediately took out a silver ingot from her pocket and placed it in Eunuch Yin's hand, saying, "Eunuch Yin, I am honored by your presence. Please forgive my lack of hospitality. Please keep this silver ingot as payment for tea on the journey. You must be tired from your travels. Please rest here for a while. I will prepare some wine and food. Please forgive the simple meal!"

Eunuch Yin squinted, smiled, and shook his head, refusing, "It's alright, it's alright. I've come here today to congratulate you, Madam! Come here, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the four old women who had been standing behind Eunuch Yin walked up to Jiang Ling.

The four of them first bowed to Jiang Ling and greeted her in unison, "Greetings, Madam!" Then Eunuch Yin continued, "These four were carefully selected by our family. Mei has excellent medical skills, Lan has skillful hands and is adept at dressing up, Zhu was originally the head female official of the Imperial Kitchen, and Ju is a master of needlework and embroidery in the palace."

After proudly introducing the plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, Eunuch Yin turned his gaze to the four robust young men.

"You four come here! Say hello to He'an!"

Four robust young men strode towards Jiang Ling, clasped their hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Madam!"

"Hello...you guys!" The four young men exuded a strong aura of hormones, and Jiang Ling blushed and waved her hand.

"These four are also our family's handpicked servants. You four, remember this! If any outsider dares to harm a single hair on Anren's head, I'll make you regret it!" Eunuch Yin said sternly.

The four of them dared not, shaking their heads repeatedly and saying things like, "Please don't worry, Father-in-law."

Seeing this, Eunuch Yin was very satisfied. He nodded and turned to Jiang Ling, saying, "These four servants haven't been named yet. Madam, you can name them now!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling was at her wit's end. She was never good at naming things. After glancing at the rolling mountains outside and hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then you can be named Jiang Shan, Jiang Hai, Jiang Hu, and Jiang He!"

The four people nodded their thanks.

After everything was explained, Eunuch Yin's task was considered complete. Jiang Ling said a few more words to Eunuch Yin, then told him to rest for a while before leading her group of eight home.

As soon as they got home, Jiang Yaojie, Shen Congxin, Jiang Suihe, and Nianci looked at them curiously.

"Let me introduce you. This is my son, Jiang Yaojie; this is my daughter-in-law, Shen Congxin; this is my eldest daughter, Jiang Suihe; and this is my youngest son, Nianci!" Jiang Ling introduced.

"Young Master, Young Madam, Miss, Young Master, greetings!" The eight people bowed respectfully.

This startled all four of them. Even Shen Congxin, who had seen many big scenes, looked at Jiang Ling with some curiosity.

Jiang Ling briefly explained what had just happened, and the children immediately showed happy expressions.

"Grandma Mei, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and I hope you can help take care of her during this time! My daughter just started her period, and it's her first time, so please help her take care of her body!" Jiang Ling turned to Grandma Mei and said.

Granny Mei quickly bowed and said, "Oh, Madam, what are you saying? Since His Majesty has sent us down to serve you, we will certainly do our utmost!"

"Young Madam, Eldest Miss, please come here for a moment!" Granny Mei, after all, was an old woman who came from the palace, and she had long since learned the skill of speaking to people in a way that suited them.

After Jiang Ling finished giving her instructions, she respectfully spoke to Shen Congxin and Jiang Suihe.

The two women glanced at Jiang Ling, who nodded, signaling them to follow. The two women followed Granny Mei to a corner of the courtyard.

"From now on, the four grandmothers will live here, and the four of you will live over there! I'll have someone deliver your beds and such later!" Jiang Ling said, pointing to the west wing.

She was incredibly grateful that she had deliberately built extra houses when she was building them; now they were finally coming in handy.

"Yaojie's mother! Yaojie's mother, what's wrong? I heard you..."

Zhao Erleng's wife walked in with a curious look on her face, and when she saw the eight unfamiliar faces in the yard, she couldn't help but freeze in place.
