The emperor asked, "Just now you said that the timely control of the epidemic in Pengzhou was due to your wife's efforts?"
When Fu Ciyi talked about how to control the flood, he did not focus on himself, but instead talked about the officers, soldiers and people of Pengzhou.
As the emperor, he naturally understood that even if the officers, soldiers, and people of Pengzhou contributed, the strategy for governance must have been Fu Ciyi's. Otherwise, Pengzhou could have saved itself long ago.
And just now when he heard him explain the control of the epidemic, he clearly sounded quite proud.
It makes sense. The epidemic that even the imperial doctors were helpless to treat in previous years was easily solved by Fu Ciyi's wife this year.
Fu Ciyi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my wife volunteered to accompany me on this disaster relief mission. She was concerned about the possibility of an epidemic in Pengzhou, and that many of the local medicinal herbs were likely flooded or dampened. So, she purchased some in Beijing and had them shipped all the way to Pengzhou. Upon our arrival, we encountered patients suffering from the epidemic. Fortunately, my wife developed a prescription, and now all the local doctors in Pengzhou have it."
When the emperor heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "Your wife is a kind-hearted doctor and will be rewarded."
After a slight pause, he said in a clear voice, "Just give me a thousand taels of gold."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fu Ciyi expressed his gratitude on behalf of Yan Funing and took his leave soon after.
"I don't care how you got the prescription. Since you paid for the herbs yourself, you should give me something substantial."
--
"Bad, all bad things." Wan Niang was relieved.
Arriving at the main courtyard, Fu Jiang and Fu Hai put down their boxes and went in tactfully.
Fu Nanyao continued, "Aren't you asking, brother, how much money the emperor gave to my sister-in-law?"
"My husband got a promotion?"
The Prime Minister clasped his fists and said, "I dare you! I just want to explain my doubts to Your Majesty."
Fu Ciyi also kept it a secret from you and said directly: "Seventh rank, lecturer in the Hanlin Academy."
"You are said to be a single man and a country woman. How come you don't have a prescription that even the imperial physician could develop?"
This was something that the men in Ling County could not imagine.
"Come here." Fu Ciyi leaned over and nervously moved the box back to the outer room.
"Since he said so, let's talk."
It feels so bad to have no money!
The more you thought about it, the more excited you became. You opened your arms and hugged Fu Ciyi tightly.
The woman nodded: "Yes."
"Why are you asking about that?" Fu Beimo kept talking, but his speech was still as turbid as usual. "No matter what, it's a reward for my sister-in-law."
They are of the same rank, and the colors and embroidery patterns of their official uniforms are the same.
Fu Ciyi nodded.
"You've been promoted twice in a row, that's enough."
Seeing me come back, and having changed my dark green official uniform into a crimson official robe, Yan Funing came to greet me with a smile.
Yan Funing looked at the eight boxes of various sizes outside, two of which were hers, and she giggled happily.
"Is this really a reward from the Emperor?"
"It's okay to put it in the inner room like this."
"If you have anything else to do, please come in."
The outer room was a bedroom, with a secret door on one side. I raised my hand and pressed the mechanism under the antique display case. The secret door opened, and I put down the wooden box containing the gold and retreated.
"The Emperor would only reward you if he told you what you did in Pengzhou." You looked up at me, jumping up and down excitedly, "Fu Ciyi, thank him!"
It was almost time for dinner when Fu Ciyi returned home.
You are very self-confident.
It was rare for a big girl to take the initiative to hug me like this. Fu Ciyi froze: "What for?"
Yan Funing held two gold ingots in her hand and turned back: "Let him say whatever he wants, but he can admit that the color of gold is really ugly."
You pull the ring on one end and try to move the box.
"A thousand taels of gold?!"
Yan Funing considered that the masters in the mansion were all sent by the imperial court, and it would be inappropriate for us to see your special appearance of being obsessed with money. So she cleared her throat and said to Fu Jiang and Fu Hai, "Please help carry the box to the main courtyard."
The Prime Minister bowed and took eight steps forward before respectfully leaving.
Yan Funing screamed in surprise, raised her hand to cover her lips, and her smile broke.
There are quite a few gold ingots behind your eyes, and they make your eyes shine with gold.
"It's a reward for you?" Yan Funing leaned closer to me quietly, "Is there money outside?"
"You're welcome."
It is only the headwear that is rough and beautiful, and the price is very high. Even the skirt is made of jade, and the embroidered shoes are decorated with pearls and gems.
Yan Funing picked up a gold ingot, and her palm immediately felt heavy. You resisted the urge to bite the gold ingot in front of someone and asked with a smile, "How much is it outside?"
It would have been fine if you had just taken the initiative to hug me, but now you are actually sticking to my body and jumping against me.
The other ministers also took their leave one after another.
"But he was the one who saved the day. He was promoted, so the emperor should reward him."
After looking at it for a moment, you closed the lid.
The box behind me is made of fine wood, and the carvings inside are even more intricate. The box alone is very valuable, which shows how much money there is outside.
The softness of Duo Nan, which I couldn't ignore, made my back stiffen.
"I understand a little bit." Yan Funing reached out and touched my official robe, praising it. "It's wrong, it's wrong. After all, the lower the grade, the worse the material."
Unexpectedly, you let go of the box and went to see the gold outside the box.
Arriving in Beijing today, you looked through the car window and saw that the men in Beijing were indeed dressed in a casual manner, especially those without money.
Ten taels of silver is equivalent to one tael of gold.
Both of them said yes.
"I will come in."
Shamefully thinking, you can try again.
Fu Ciyi asked, "Did the money-grubber see it?"
In the Imperial Study, the Emperor was reviewing memorials. Seeing that the Prime Minister had not left, he asked calmly, "Lord Cai, do you have anything to say?"
The Prime Minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Master Fu is extremely knowledgeable and capable. I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it."
After saying that, he smiled at me.
One thousand taels of gold is equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver.
"Mr. Fu's wife's failure in this disaster relief effort was mainly due to the prescription. A prescription that can cure an epidemic is so precious, how could you have given it so easily to my husband in Pengzhou? I believe you probably got the prescription by chance and know how precious it is."
Then he said warmly: "Money-grubber."
Fu Ciyi snorted heavily and just closed the secret door when a voice came from outside the courtyard calling us to have dinner.
At the dinner table, Tong Huicui told her mother, Nan Yao and Bei Mo about her promotion and the emperor's reward to Yan Funing.
"The Emperor gave it to him."
Fu Ciyi smiled faintly: "He understands?"
Yan Funing was slightly annoyed: "Tell him that once the restaurant in the capital opens, your wealth will decrease in the future."
The emperor looked up and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Even so, I wanted to push it away.
As he said that, he ordered Fu Jiang Fu Hai to bring a box.
"A thousand taels."
"Yes, Your Majesty is wise."
Yan Funing then opened the box and saw that it was full of golden little ingots, and she smiled from ear to ear.
"This is the nature of a money-hungry person." The woman spoke again.
The emperor frowned: "He thinks my reward of a thousand taels of gold is too little?"
As long as one can get a promotion, it is worse than any financial reward.
The woman's voice was high and deep.
Hearing that there was no reward, Fu Nanyao's eyes lit up: "How much did the emperor reward?"
