The reward came very quickly, on October 13th, and it was an imperial edict.
Fortunately, Qin Mingyi had someone come to his house to teach him the day before, otherwise it would have been a mess.
Old Futou took the imperial edict from the young eunuch with trepidation.
Just as he was about to give the eunuch money according to the rules, he refused:
"You don't have to be like this, old master. You and Eunuch Qian are brothers, and Eunuch Qian is our godfather. We are all family, and we will have to visit each other in the future.
The imperial edict has been delivered, and your family will have to make some preparations. I will leave first, old master, please stay!"
The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch left very politely and did not accept their money for the sake of Eunuch Qian.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a pleasant feeling to put on a brave face.
Although Qin Mingyi had someone send them money yesterday, the whole family was too embarrassed to accept it. They had already accepted silver and carriages earlier, and now they had gotten an official position thanks to others. It would be inappropriate for them to accept more money.
He just said that the family had enough money and had packed up thirty taels of silver, but in fact the whole family was already prepared to work hard to make money.
Unexpectedly, not only did they not lose money, but they made a profit. After closing the door to block the curious and somewhat fearful eyes of the neighbors, the whole family squeezed into the old couple's house again.
Only then did he go to see the rewards and the imperial edict.
It doesn't matter if there are any compliments about loyalty and righteousness. The best thing is the reward, five hundred taels of silver and some beautiful silks and satins.
Then there were the officials of Fu Dabai and Fu Sanbai, who were seventh-rank small-flag officers of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and were also given Feiyu uniforms and Embroidered Spring Swords, and received two taels of salary and seven shi of rice every month.
One stone of rice weighs more than 100 kilograms, which is a lot of money when converted into silver. The salary of the two of them is enough to support the whole family.
Lao Futou also got an official position as a sixth-rank inspector of the Ministry of Works, but it was said that this was a nominal position.
An official position that any rich person can buy just sounds good, but is actually of no use and comes with no salary.
Qin Mingyi and Eunuch Qian said that it would be impossible for them to get the main credit, as there were many people waiting to be rewarded, so their reward would be the worst.
"What's the good thing?"
Yuan was extremely shocked when he touched the flying fish suit!
The words "I have never seen" are engraved on almost everyone's face.
"Tsk! Why close the door in broad daylight? I have to climb over the wall. What a shame!"
The whole family was in shock, but then they saw someone pushing the door open while talking.
"Who is it?"
Everyone immediately picked up hammers, drew their hammers, drew their swords, and took off their shoes.
As soon as Qin Mingyi came in, a knife was pressed against his neck. He said unhappily:
"What's going on? You're going to kill your superior before you even take office, right?"
Fu Sanbai saw who it was and quickly put away his knife. He cupped his fists and smiled:
"It turned out to be Master Qin."
The whole family greeted each other politely.
Ah Yuan was as slow as ever, looking both smart and stupid. Qin Mingyi rubbed her head, stuffed the snacks and wine he brought with him into her hands, and sat down on the kang without any hesitation:
"What's going on? You've become an official and you've become unfamiliar with the government. When you see someone you know, you call him Sir Qin?
Aunt Yang, Uncle Fu, look at these powerful people. Once they are successful, they don't recognize anyone!"
The more they listened, the more strange it seemed. The whole family looked at him questioningly: Shouldn't this be something that someone who is taking advantage of others would say?
Old Yang also cooperated with him:
"Si Gou, this is your fault. After you say these words, what else will you say when other people come over?
Besides, Mr. Qin is no better than Si Gou!"
Qin Mingyi: "Qin is a nostalgic person. Sir Qin is the name we use outside. It is not necessary to call him that in our family."
Yuan felt that this development was somewhat familiar, so he looked up at his father while holding his food and asked:
"Is he planning to blackmail us again?"
How can it be our own home? !
The old Fu family members were also puzzled by this development, so instead of covering Yuan's mouth, Fu Dabai asked tentatively:
"We...is there any place here that you can use?"
Qin Mingyi wanted to spit at him:
"No, don't you have any sense of loyalty? You have been so nice to me along the way, and you get along like a family.
We also agreed to do this and that together, so it seems like you guys are just joking, right?"
The whole family looked at Fu Dabai with shamefaced expressions.
"Well, even though you're injured like that, I just want to play with you!"
Fu Dabai clapped his hands and smiled embarrassedly.
As everyone knows, Fu Dabai loves to make friends with bad people, and A Yuan's love of making friends is probably just like him.
On the way, Qin Mingyi didn't talk much at first, and looked half dead. He was free anyway, so Fu Dabai chatted with him. They chatted a lot, so they could get to know each other.
Then we made an appointment to drink together, listen to a play, ride horses, etc. in the future. It's normal for me to call you big brother and you to call me second brother, right?
He didn't say that he would definitely go, he just said he would go when he had the time and opportunity. Who knew that someone of his status could remember this!
Last time when he was called Lord Qin, he wasn't so hypocritical. He even scolded them for being useless and almost kicked them. It didn't seem like there was much brotherhood between them...
The more Fu Dabai thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
Qin Mingyi was so angry. It was rare for him to be so loyal and caring, but he ended up running into this heartless family:
"Okay! You can do it, Fu Da! Your family has no loyalty or affection at all! You are so heartless!
I won't waste my words with you! Qin is leaving. Don't even think about getting promoted in the future. I will make things difficult for you!"
The whole family quickly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, don't go, don't go."
Fu Dabai stopped him and glared, "Don't you have to repay a favor?"
Qin Mingyi's eyes widened even more: "I still have grudges to avenge!"
"What kind of grudge is it?" Fu Sanbai asked.
Qin Mingyi: "You just broke my heart, have you forgotten it so quickly?"
Family: Ugh!
Fu Dabai couldn't bear to look at it: "Who did you learn this from? It's so disgusting!"
Qin Mingyi spat, "I learned all that from you guys! You say those stupid things every day and they have corrupted me!
I've been laughed at these past two days! Am I embarrassed to go out and have some fun? They say I didn't go to suppress the rebellion, but to go to the theater or teahouse to learn from a master!"
The family suddenly realized: "Oh ~ So that's it ~"
They said that it was impossible for someone of such status to always be thinking about that little favor, and it turned out that this way of chatting was not right.
Yes, the old Fu family are all good at gossiping, chatting and watching the fun. Once you are led astray by them, it is very difficult to correct it.
At least the neighbors now speak with their accents, and now it feels like I'm back in the village when I chat with them.
"Then why don't you drag them along? As the saying goes, if you can't change yourself, then change them!"
Fu Dabai was particularly happy to see this.
Qin Mingyi sighed:
"I think, isn't it just chatting with a few ministers and being impeached for forming a clique for personal gain? That's not good!"
A family: ...
"Being a high-ranking official must have a lot of worries, huh? I can't even chat with you!"
Yuan opened the snack bag, nibbled on it and sighed.
"Not really."
The whole family took their snacks and ate while watching Qin Mingyi's fun.
Fu Dabai also asked: "What are you talking about? Can you go on about that?"
Qin Mingyi took the snacks he handed over and slapped his thigh:
"I didn't say anything else! I just chatted a little.
The Zhenbei general had a concubine who ran away with someone in his early years. The boy who ran away with her later sneaked back and fell in love with the concubine of the Zhenbei general's son..."
Qin Mingyi felt something was wrong while talking to the family, so he lowered his head and looked around.
Yuan asked with shining eyes:
"What's the end?"
Kyoko: "And then?"
Niu Wa: “What’s next?”
Tiger-headed, Wulang Liulang asked excitedly: "What happened next?"
Qin Mingyi munched on the snacks in silence and pulled the wine out of A Yuan's arms.
The family was ruthless: "Get out, little brats! Is this something you can listen to?!"
The little brats who were kicked out:
“Age doesn’t mean anything!”
People in the room: "Everyone, stay away!"
