Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, thirty ninth-rank Jinyiwei carried box after box into the Mu Mansion.

The leading captain Liang came to Mu Nanjin with two sets of dark purple flying fish suits embroidered with golden flying fish and said, "Congratulations, Lord Mu, on your promotion to captain Mu."

"I got a promotion?"

Mu Nanjin stared at the Feiyufu in Liang Baihu's hand as if he were looking at an enemy. "Didn't I just get promoted not long ago? How come I got promoted again?"

[How come I was promoted so quickly? I was promoted from ninth rank just a few months ago, but now I am promoted to fifth rank? ]

[What did I do? Why did I get promoted again? ]

Captain Liang smiled and said, "The governor said that you have made great contributions to the rehabilitation of Prince Wu'an, and you and your people also captured two princes, so the governor decided to promote you to the fifth rank, Qian Hu. Yang Bo, Xu Cheng, Liu Qian, and Heitan were promoted to the eighth rank, and Jia Yin, Sang Tai, and Shu Xiyao were promoted to the ninth rank. I would like to congratulate Mu Da here, congratulations to Mu Da, you have been promoted to Qian Hu in just half a year, the same level as Qian Hu Liu, and you will no longer be under his jurisdiction from now on."

Mu Nanjin's attention was immediately diverted.

[No longer under the jurisdiction of Captain Liu? ]

[Don't have to listen to his nagging anymore? ]

【That’s good.】

"Who will take care of me then?"

Liang Baihu suppressed his laughter and said, "From now on, you will only listen to the orders of the pacification envoys."

[Oh, I am now under the charge of Comrade Lao Kan. Yes, yes, that’s right. Comrade Lao Kan is an open-minded person and doesn’t bother with so many trivial matters.]

Liang Baihu: "..."

Captain Liu must have guessed that he might be angered to death by Mu Nanjin, so he was unwilling to make this trip.

I have to say it was a wise decision, otherwise I wouldn’t have been happy during the New Year.

Captain Liang introduced the contents of the first box to Mu Nanjin: "This box contains the official uniforms of Yang Bo and his men after they were promoted. Since you are the captain, you will distribute them to them."

Mu Nanjin nodded.

"The other twenty boxes are rewards from the emperor." Captain Liang pointed to the two boxes in front and said, "The four large boxes in front are filled with clothes and skirts sewn by the palace embroiderers for Lady Mu, and the two boxes in the back are various accessories made by the palace workshop. Lady Mu can wear them on weekdays or at banquets. But they are all winter clothes. In early summer, the emperor will give you a batch of summer clothes."

Xia Yan and the others looked at Mu Nanjin with envy.

I never thought that the emperor cared so much about Mu Nanjin, even more than his own daughter.

Mu Nanjin didn't care much about the clothes and jewelry: "Where's the box in the back?"

"One of the boxes contains rouge and powder, and the others contain gold, silver, jewelry, and herbs. Lord Mu can distribute them however he wants. By the way, the emperor also asked me to bring a message to Lord Mu. He said that Lord Mu and his men have worked hard."

Mu Nanjin opened one of the boxes, which contained a box of silver, each weighing ten taels. She closed the box and said, "Captain Liang, thank you for your hard work. Take this box of silver and share it with these Jinyiwei."

Captain Liang knew that she was rich so he didn't bother to be polite with her: "Then thank you, Lord Mu."

The other Jinyiwei were all excited: "Thank you, Lord Mu."

Mu Nanjin thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, Captain Liang, I remember that Jinyiwei all had their own official seals after they were promoted to the sixth rank. Why don't I have one?"

The seal used to check the case file before was still Captain Liu's.

Liang Baihu: "..."

Of course, I’m afraid that you will hear your own voice.

Seeing that Liang Baihu remained silent, Mu Nanjin's eyes flashed with doubt: "Is it so difficult to answer?"

"Of course not." Captain Liang sighed, "Master Mu, I can only say that you were promoted too quickly."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[What does my rapid promotion have to do with the official seal? ]

[Is it wrong that I got promoted so quickly? ]

[Uh, it seems like something is wrong. I shouldn't be leveling up so fast. How come I reached the fifth rank so quickly? This wasn't my original intention.]

What went wrong?

"Master Mu, you don't know that our Jinyiwei official seals are different from others. For example, my official seal must not only be engraved with the centurion's seal, but also my name, and different patterns must be engraved, and then it must be filed, etc. It takes at least three months. When Master Mu was promoted to centurion, he had already found someone to carve the official seal, but before it was filed, you were promoted to deputy centurion, and now you have become a centurion again. Your official seal can only be re-carved, but today is New Year's Eve, and the officials are not working, so we can only wait until after the New Year."

"So we have to wait another three months?"

Captain Liang sighed again: "It's hard to say about this."

"Why?"

"What if you get promoted again? The official seal will have to be re-engraved."

"Still rising?"

Mu Nanjin frowned.

[A thousand households is enough. I won’t be promoted any further.]

Captain Liang thought to himself: This is not your decision, unless you resign.

Captain Liang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether Lord Mu wants the official seal or not. You are the only female Jinyiwei in the whole Duwei Mansion, and you are also a thousand households. As long as everyone sees the way you are dressed, who dares not recognize you? Don't you agree?"

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Okay, I understand, I will wait for another three months."

"Master Mu, do you have anything else to say? If not, we will take our leave."

“No more.”

Captain Liang and other Jinyiwei carried away a large box of silver.

Mu Nanjin called Heitan and asked them to divide the silver.

Then she took out some jewelry and distributed it to Xia Yan and the others.

Si Yuhuan quickly refused: "Miss, the jewelry awarded by the emperor cannot be given to others casually. These are all recorded, and not everyone can wear them."

"So particular?" Mu Nanjin frowned and asked Heitan to move the clothes and jewelry to her room.

At this time, the housekeeper came in and said, "Miss, there is a maid outside who claims to be the eldest princess and wants to see you."

"The princess' maid?" Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Please ask her to come in."

Then, a maid with extraordinary temperament came in and bowed to Mu Nanjin: "This servant greets Master Mu."

Mu Nanjin asked bluntly: "What's the matter?"

The maid said, "Our princess has heard that Lord Mu has a magical pill called Jade Face Pill, and that it costs ten thousand gold coins per pill. Is this true?"

"Is that true? Princess wants to buy it?"

"Yes."

The maid took out a hundred thousand taels of silver note and said, "Here is a hundred thousand taels of silver note. I wonder if it can buy a magic pill?"

Mu Nanjin's eyes flickered slightly: "I'm quite surprised that the first person to buy the Jade Face Pill from me would be the Princess. Then may I ask, is your money from an honest source?"

The maid frowned and said, "Master Mu, what do you mean? Are you doubting the origin of our eldest princess's money?"

"Just asking."

"Our princess's silver is very clean, please rest assured, Lord Mu."

"I hope so."

Mu Nanjin took the silver note and gave her a Jade Face Pill.

The maid bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Mu."

Mu Nanjin watched her leave.
