After the autumn harvest, the days seemed to pass by faster.
On the day of the Beginning of Winter, according to custom, the emperor would lead a group of ministers to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors.
The altar is filled with crops that have been tributed from all over the country this year.
Among them were the wheat grown by Ye Laoer, the big pumpkins grown on Grandpa Cen’s farm, and many things shipped from the south.
Looking at the altar full of things, the emperor felt extremely proud and proud.
The people live and work in peace and contentment under his rule, and the country becomes increasingly powerful. This should be what every emperor who wants to be a wise ruler wants to see most.
The emperor had fasted and bathed three days in advance. Now he kowtowed to his ancestors in the hall, telling the heaven and his ancestors what practical things he had done for the country and the people in the past year. Finally, he hoped that the heaven and his ancestors would continue to bless him, bless Da Qi, and bless the people.
When the emperor was speaking in the palace, all the ministers had to kneel outside and wait.
The emperor seemed to have a lot to say this year, making everyone wait and wait before he finally came out of the palace.
He stood at the door and was about to speak when he saw that everyone's eyes were focused behind him.
The emperor turned around, confused, and saw a rainbow hanging in the sky, which just included the palace behind him, as if surrounding him, looking particularly magical.
The ministers who had just stood up immediately knelt down again, shouting: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!"
This time the voice was louder and firmer than before, causing waves of echoes and making the emperor standing above seem even more solemn and dignified.
Only after the rainbow slowly dissipated did the emperor get off the carriage and return to the palace.
Everyone hurried back to the palace because during lunch, those who had particularly good harvests would be publicly commended and rewarded.
As the grain king of the north, Ye Laoer's status is naturally extraordinary.
Not only did he receive the emperor's reward, but he was also praised several times by the emperor himself.
Even after Ye Laoer came out of the palace, his feet felt like they were stepping on cotton and couldn't touch the ground. He was jumping forward as he walked.
Fortunately, he held on to the reward given by the emperor and refused to let go.
Otherwise, if there were no silver ingots to hold him back, he might have jumped into the sky in the next step.
Ye Lao Da was waiting for him outside the palace gate in his carriage. Seeing that he was still holding the silver ingot tightly after getting in the carriage, he couldn't help but teasing him, saying, "Second brother, why don't you be so greedy for money?"
When Ye Lao Er heard his elder brother teasing him, he just smiled innocently and said nothing.
"Okay, hug me if you want, just be happy!" Boss Ye flicked his whip and said, "Everyone in the family is very happy. They're all at your sister-in-law's restaurant, just waiting for you to come back and help celebrate with you!"
Although he said that, he didn't expect Ye Lao Er to actually carry those silver ingots all the way, causing Ye Lao Da to tease him when he got off the car: "Do you want me to help you hold it for a while?"
Ye Laoer simply jumped out of the car holding the silver ingot.
Before he could even find his footing, Ye Lao Er went straight to Ye Ersao who had been waiting at the door of the restaurant for a long time.
"Wife!" Ye Lao Er called out, and then stuffed the silver ingots he had carried all the way into Ye Ersao's arms, "Eldest brother and fourth brother have both received awards from the emperor, and the third brother also has a skill that can support him.
"I'm the only one who has never achieved anything. I can't do anything except farming.
"But you see, my wife, if you know how to farm and farm well, you can also make a fortune.
"These are the silver coins the emperor gave me. Wife, keep them. Use this money to find a shop you like and officially open a ready-made clothing store."
Mrs. Ye hurriedly caught the silver ingots. At first she kept laughing, her face turning red.
But after hearing the next few words, his smile faded slightly, and this time his eyes turned red.
Although Mrs. Ye had not been of much help to her since she came to the capital, she not only provided her with food and lodging, but also provided her with a place to make clothes.
But Ye Ersao has never been the kind of person who is willing to take advantage of others.
Even though he knew that Mrs. Ye really wanted to help them, he did not ask for anything in return.
But this kind of life has lasted too long, and no matter how close the relationship is, it will not be able to live so comfortably.
So in addition to doing her own work, Mrs. Ye Er always wanted to do something for Mrs. Ye Da when she had time.
Sometimes he even competes with his fellows for tasks like sweeping the yard.
She didn't think that helping with some work could offset Mrs. Ye's efforts.
I just really don’t know how to repay and express my gratitude.
What moved Ye Ersao even more than owning a shop of her own was that the first thing Ye Laoer thought of after receiving the money was her own wish which she had never expressed.
Ye Lao Er seemed to see what she was thinking and whispered, "We've been married for so many years, how could I not know what you want? Do you really think I'm some idiot who only knows how to farm?"
Mrs. Ye was so moved this time that her nose felt sore. She tried hard to raise the corners of her lips again, but she laughed and tears fell.
"Wife, don't cry!" Ye Laoer hurriedly wiped her tears, "Today is a happy day. Not only did I meet the emperor, I also answered his questions.
"The Emperor praised me publicly and personally, saying that I am a role model for the entire northern region. He said that he wants others to come to our farm to learn from our experience!"
Ye Lao Er didn't know how to coax his wife, so he could only chatter about the various trivial things he encountered after entering the palace today.
He even told us what kind of refreshments were prepared in the palace.
