As soon as Mo Qingling took out the imperial edict, everyone present stood up and knelt.
He took the imperial edict and read it again.
The general meaning is that Xiao Hanzheng had made great contributions by offering the cement recipe, so the large mountain in Xiaxixi Village was given to him as a reward.
The content of this imperial edict left everyone a little confused.
Why would the emperor want to reward Xiao Hanzheng with that mountain? After announcing the decree, Mo Qingling gave Xiao Hanzheng the decree and the mountain deed.
He smiled deliberately and said, "The emperor knows that you and your wife are interested in this mountain, so he gave it to you directly."
This means that this mountain was wanted by Xiao Hanzheng himself and the emperor.
It also emphasizes that Xiao Hanzheng has registered with the emperor and has a bright future ahead of him.
Everyone present who was not stupid reacted.
Especially Xiao Hanzheng's classmates, each of them is extremely complicated.
They were still scholars, but the emperor had already remembered Xiao Hanzheng's name.
Although the last reward was gold and this time it was mountains, the key is to leave an impression on the emperor.
Especially this time, Xiao Hanzheng wanted a mountain and the emperor gave it to him, which shows that the emperor still values Xiao Hanzheng a little.
They were really envious! Then everyone looked at Shi Qingluo, who was becoming more and more beautiful.
Xiao Hanzheng is so lucky that he can marry such a powerful disciple of an old immortal to bring him good luck even though he is unconscious on the hospital bed.
Now, not only does every household in Xiaxi Village have more money because of Shi Qingluo, but everyone can see the changes in the Xiao family.
The villagers were happy for Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, especially since the Taoist temple where the old immortal lived was on that mountain. From now on, Shi Qingluo would be the owner of that mountain, and everyone thought this was right.
Xiao Hanzheng took the imperial edict with both hands and put it away.
Then he came out and treated everyone to delicious food and drinks.
After the meal, Mr. Hou, Mo Qingling, the county school teacher, Xiao Hanzheng’s classmates and others visited the Xiao family’s new house together.
The layout of the house built by the Xiao family is somewhat different from the current ones.
In the middle is the living room, and on the side there is a place for drinking tea and entertaining guests.
The living room is paved with floor tiles, which looks clean and bright, and the furniture is made of Chinese solid wood.
But the design of Shi Qingluo combines modern Zen style, so it looks more simple and generous.
Unlike other homes where the wooden furniture is bare, it has thick matching sofa cushions and backrests. The color of the fabric matches the color of the solid wood, which is refreshing and classic.
This was also the first time these people had seen such furniture.
A few people sat down and said, "Your chair is really nice."
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "My wife said that this combination of chairs is called a sofa."
"If you like it, teacher, I'll ask the carpenter to make you a set."
Speaking of carpenters, his family hired a father and son in the village who specialized in making furniture.
He prescribed medicine for the sick father for half a month, and the man recovered.
Then he took the initiative to come to the Xiao family to work. He and his young wife discovered that the other party was actually a traditional craftsman. He had learned a very comprehensive system and his craftsmanship was impeccable.
So he took the father and son in and provided them with food and lodging.
They are now living in the old house they lived in before. They have signed an employment contract and will be considered craftsmen of the Xiao family in the future.
Mr. Hou was not polite to his disciple, "Okay, I like this sofa very much."
He is old and sits on a hard bench every day. Suddenly he feels very comfortable sitting on the soft sofa.
Mo Qingling also had an idea, and after he came down, he planned to ask the carpenter of the Xiao family to make him a set of such a sofa.
Bai Xu couldn't help but think about it, but he still saw a business opportunity.
I thought, why not the Bai family build a woodworking workshop specializing in furniture.
Then the group went to see the reception room and study.
There is also a coffee table carved from tree roots in the living room, on which are placed tea sets for making Kung Fu tea.
A tea cabinet and a display cabinet were also built.
Shi Qingluo asked Xiao Hanzheng to carve some wooden vases and put some tulips in them, as well as square wooden boxes and plant some daisies of different colors that were in full bloom.
The outside of the wooden box is decorated with canvas, which gives it a unique look.
There are several large pillows on the sofa, which are very comfortable for people to lean on. Drinking Kung Fu tea will make people relax unconsciously and feel leisurely.
Xiao Hanzheng also ordered the sandalwood specially made by Shi Qingluo, which had a light woody scent.
It gives people an indescribable feeling of comfort and warmth.
Mr. Hou smiled and asked, "Did your wife arrange this?"
At first glance, it doesn't look like the work of his young disciple.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and said, "Yes, these were arranged by my wife herself."
It was the first time he saw this style, but he fell in love with it at first sight.
Mr. Hou nodded and said, "You are blessed to have a good wife."
He had known this young disciple's wife.
The more I get to know her, the more I feel that this woman is extraordinary.
Mo Qingling smiled and said, "Yes, I am a little envious of Jinyu."
He had already been married, but two years after their marriage his wife had a difficult labor and died.
Although they respected each other, he was still sad when his wife died in childbirth.
So he came to Nanxi County to serve as the county magistrate. In addition to the iron mine business, he also planned to relax.
Looking at the tacit understanding and love between Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo, he was really a little envious.
As they praised his young wife, Xiao Hanzheng couldn't help but smile, and generously admitted, "It is indeed my blessing to marry you."
They sat and drank some tea, then visited the study, dining room, kitchen, guest rooms, toilet and bathing area.
I found that the Xiao family’s house was not only well-built, but also had many special features.
The key point is the toilet and the bath.
The toilet was actually equipped with a white porcelain toilet. After going to the toilet, you just need to press a switch at the back and the water will flush automatically. It is clean and hygienic.
What’s more, the Xiao family didn’t use toilet chips, but soft toilet paper.
This also made them feel novel, and they specifically asked where they bought it and whether it was expensive.
This is the result of several months of research by Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo. They finally made toilet paper at a very low cost.
It is not as white as modern paper, but has a light yellowish ochre color, but it is very good to use.
Xiao Hanzheng said that they had invented this themselves and everyone gave some away.
Then, the group was amazed at the Xiao family's bathroom.
There is a water tank on the top. Heat the water and pour it in. People can stand underneath and use something called a shower head to turn on the switch and wash directly.
The sliding wardrobes in the guest rooms were also something they had never seen before.
This way of design is not only more beautiful and elegant, but more importantly, it does not take up as much space as a door.
I don’t know how Xiao Hanzheng’s wife came up with this idea. How come her brain is so useful?
Bai Xu looked at them with envy and a sense of indescribable embarrassment.
After all, Shi Qingluo had said before that the new house would surprise him, and he had scoffed at it at the time, but now he can't help but envy and like it.
And if you like this one, you can't help but think about that one.
