After a burst of firecrackers, Tian An took Deng Xue over the brazier and entered the mansion.
The room was already filled with hot water soaked in pomelo leaves. After taking a bath, Tian An, feeling refreshed, changed into the new clothes Chun Xi had brought him and let Xiang Tao put on her makeup again.
She had been in the Anguo Mansion for over a month, and she hadn't had such a comfortable bath in a long time. If it weren't for keeping everyone waiting, she would have liked to soak for a while longer.
It was half an hour later when Tian An reappeared in the main hall. What she didn't expect was that the Duke of Anguo and his wife had also come with their three sons.
Mrs. An gently took her hand and said, "We are here to give An An a gift of congratulations, a thank you gift, and the medical fee. Congratulations on your promotion to the rank of Township Lady." She smiled and said, "Thank you, Township Lady, for saving my son's life."
The two Young Masters An beside her also bowed to her, "Congratulations, Miss Tian, on your promotion to Anping Xiangjun. Thank you, Xiangjun, for saving my brother's life."
Everyone gathered inside the house, laughing and talking happily. Outside, the three boys were playing together and having fun in the yard!
That day, in addition to the many friends who came to visit, Tian An also received many gifts from his family. Although a local lord was not enough to invite them to visit him personally, it was still necessary to establish a good relationship with the conqueror of the smallpox virus.
After a busy day with friends and family, Tian An began organizing smallpox treatments and prescriptions the next morning. After all, the Emperor didn't give the title of Anping Xiangjun for nothing.
If you hide the honor and reward given to you, you are really ignorant. Instead of waiting for someone to come to you, it is better for her to take the initiative.
The best way to treat smallpox is not to treat it, but to prevent it. If you want to stay away from smallpox, the best way is to get vaccinated.
After spending a whole day organizing it, Tian An personally handed the record book to Tian Mingwu and asked him to present it to the emperor when he went to court the next day.
The next day, in the court.
"If you have the documents, please submit your report. If you don't, please leave the court..."
Tian Mingwu waited for a while, and seeing that no one spoke, he took out the booklet in his arms and walked to the center.
"I have a memorial to the emperor. My daughter has compiled a smallpox treatment plan overnight and is presenting it to the nation, hoping it can help those in need."
The chief steward, Eunuch Defu, came down personally, took the booklet and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor flipped through a few pages, nodded repeatedly, then raised his head and praised Tian Mingwu again, praising him for his ability to teach children and asking all the ministers to learn from him.
Several ministers twitched their lips. Tian Mingwu was just lucky. He could even teach! Who knew how many days he had taught.
After talking about the prescription for treating smallpox, the emperor talked about another thing.
He asked Defu to take out a map, marked out a piece of land on it, and gave it to the Minister of Works, asking him to prepare to build the Tianling Kyoto Liulichang.
The ministers were shocked. The emperor actually had a recipe for making colored glaze. When did this happen? How come they hadn't heard anything about it?
Before the Minister of Works could step forward to receive the order, the Minister of Revenue stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is very busy. Let's hand over the management of Liulichang to our Ministry of Revenue! We won't burden our colleagues in the Ministry of Works."
The emperor lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently, "Lord Sun, have you prepared the food and wages for the soldiers at the border this year?"
The Minister of Revenue was startled, his face bitter, "Not yet." Then he defended himself, "Your Majesty, you know the situation of the Ministry of Revenue. We simply can't come up with the money!"
The emperor snorted coldly, "Wait until you have solved the problem of food and wages for the soldiers at the border, then come and talk to me."
The Minister of Revenue had no choice but to quietly retreat to the team.
The Minister of Revenue had just retreated when the Minister of Rites came up again. Before he could say anything, the Emperor interrupted him, "Is the Ministry of Rites relatively idle lately? The official farms are in need of a few water carriers. How about Lu Aiqing lead the team there himself?"
The Minister of Rites immediately changed his mind and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has been busy with foreign affairs recently and I'm afraid they can't spare time. I'd better trouble other colleagues to do this." Then he stepped back.
The emperor looked across the hall and asked, "Is there any of you who would like to go to the government farm and fetch water?"
The ministers all declined, saying that they were busy with their work and could not go.
After a lot of trouble, the Minister of Works finally received the imperial edict.
After the court was dismissed, the ministers discussed today's events in groups of three or four. They originally wanted to ask the Minister of Works for some information, but unfortunately, the Minister found an opportunity to slip away as soon as the court was over, running faster than a rabbit.
Tian An naturally didn't know what was happening in the court. At this moment, she was cutting the ribbon for the opening of a noodle shop outside Songshan Academy!
The shop was completed long ago under Gu Jinyan's supervision. If Tian An hadn't gone to An's house for treatment, the opening would not have been delayed until now.
Fortunately, in order not to waste time, they conducted a trial operation in advance, and the current opening ceremony is just a formality.
Because the two stores opened at the same time, Peng Zhang hired two lion dance teams for Tian An, one on each side.
In addition, a dragon dance team was invited to perform from a noodle shop in Songshan Academy along the street to another noodle shop in Dongling Academy.
Wherever the dragon dance team went, there was a lot of excitement, and many half-grown children followed and watched.
During the opening period, all food in the store will be 20% off, and if you spend a certain amount, you will also receive special snacks or cold drinks from the store.
The novel, icy cold drink immediately captured the hearts of many students. At noon, after enjoying a bowl of noodles, rice, or fried rice downstairs, they would go upstairs to order a cold drink and savor it slowly.
The two stores were doing good business before they opened, and now that they have opened and become famous, business is booming.
It’s a pity that it’s not convenient to pack takeout in this era, otherwise we can hire a group of errand boys to deliver the food directly to your door.
Looking at the long queue, Gu Jinyan couldn't stop smiling. Doing business with Tian An was simply the best decision she had ever made.
Zuo Yunshu and others standing by looked on with envy, thinking that this shop was worth as much as several of their families.
Wu Yufei and Wei Lingran were the type who couldn't keep their secrets to themselves. They pouted and complained, "Sister An An is partial. She only takes Sister Jin Yan with her to do business, and never takes us out to play."
Tian An looked around and saw pairs of pleading eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you have a suitable shop, we can form a partnership together. Just like Sister Jin Yan, you provide the shop and decoration, and I provide the technology and people. We'll split the money equally."
Hearing this, the whole audience cheered. Peng Zhang in the corner looked at Tian An with burning eyes and said, "Can I, too?"
Tian An looked at him critically, "Your family has so many businesses, why are you joining in the fun?"
All the ladies present were from official families, and Peng Zhang felt a little embarrassed. "Let's all play together! We've known each other for so long, you can't just leave me out!"
