Chapter 574: Want a Child
She traveled south.
The beautiful scenery and delicious food can make her stop.
Four months later, when Wen Yan was watching a herd of sika deer in a small village, a group of officials suddenly came to the village to announce the imperial decree.
Wen Yan was conferred the title of Gongren.
Wen Yan held the imperial edict, forced a smile, and asked the eunuch who announced it, "Is this... Ying Zhilin got promoted again?"
The eunuch replied respectfully, "Sir Ying, you are now a fourth-rank official. He has specially asked the Emperor for an imperial decree for you."
"... Father-in-law, please wait a moment. I will write a letter and please give it to Lord Ying for me." They have already divorced, so it is not right for him to ask for the imperial edict.
The eunuch said with a smile: "Lady Liu and Master Ying have a tacit understanding.
Mr. Ying also asked our family to bring you a letter."
As he said that, he turned around and took out an envelope.
That's not an envelope at all, it's clearly a package covered with envelope paper.
The package was a full foot thick.
When Wen Yan took it, she was pressed so hard that she almost couldn't catch it.
It took Wen Yan five full hours to finish reading that "letter".
It's all about his daily fun.
As expected of the number one scholar, he has a brilliant writing style. Even the most ordinary things become interesting and witty after being polished by his pen.
Wen Yan has been smiling a lot more for more than half a month.
Inspired by these letters, Wen Yan began to write travel notes.
However, her writing skills are not as good as Ying Zhilin's, and her travel notes are mediocre.
Wen Yan added a picture.
Paint what you see and what you hear, and then add text to it.
As a result, her trip was delayed.
The journey that took eight or nine months took a year to complete.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival the following year, Wen Yan met Huang Ying'er at the beach.
After Huang Ying'er put the glass workshop on the right track, she presented a method of drying seawater salt to the emperor.
The emperor then sent her to personally supervise the construction of the salt field.
Wen Yan had just finished painting a picture of a mermaid drying salt.
Then a group of eunuchs announcing the imperial decree came over here.
Wen Yan put down his pen and said to Huang Ying'er, "It seems that you have made great contributions to salt production. The emperor is going to promote you."
As a result, the eunuch who announced the decree called her name directly.
This time, Wen Yan was named a virtuous lady, and she was also given a letter from home.
This time, the letter home is more than twice as thick as the last time.
Wen Yan thought about it, packed up the notes she had written along the way, and asked her father-in-law to take them home and give them to Ying Zhilin.
Wen Yan spent five years traveling to all the places she wanted to go before she set off back to the capital.
The imperial edict also promoted her to the rank of Madam.
When she entered the city, her carriage was stopped at the city gate.
Wen Yan lifted the curtain and looked, and saw Ying Zhilin wearing a red gown, standing at the city gate to greet her.
His black hair was half tied up with red silk, which made him look extraordinarily handsome and elegant.
It should be noted that Lin rarely wears such brightly colored clothes, which gives her a unique charm.
Wen Yan couldn't help but smack her lips.
What a male enchantress! Five years have passed, and his beauty has not diminished at all.
But why are there several eunuchs following him?
Wen Yan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Sure enough, the eunuch came out with a scroll of imperial edict and said, "Madam Liu, please get out of the carriage and receive the edict."
Wen Yan knelt down quickly.
Not surprisingly.
Wen Yan was conferred the title of First-Rank Lady.
Wen Yan first glared at Ying Zhilin before accepting the order.
Many people gathered around and pointed at Wen Yan, saying, "So she's the woman who abandoned Mr. Ying!"
"Master Ying really loves her. Even though they've been divorced for six years, he's still waiting for her."
"Did she write Yunxi Notes? She publishes one volume every year, and I've collected all five.
I wonder if she will publish a new volume after she comes back!
Every time I look at the albums in her notes and read the text inside, I feel like I am there in person.”
"I also went to 'A Little Ink' and bought a lot of paint to copy those picture albums..."
Wen Yan looked at Ying Zhilin in surprise.
After bidding farewell to the emperor, Ying Zhilin shamelessly followed Wen Yan into the carriage.
His worthless appearance shocked the crowd of people who came to watch the fun.
"Rumor has it that Master Ying is a clingy person. I didn't believe it before, but now I completely believe it."
"I'm afraid many young ladies will be sad again!"
After sitting down, the carriage drove towards Wen Yan's house.
Ying Zhilin held his chin and stared at Wen Yan intently, as if he could never see enough.
Wen Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Ying Zhilin: "What's the matter with the picture album that the people are talking about?"
Ying Zhilin fished out a thick stack of banknotes from his bosom and pressed them into her hand. "I've printed all the notes you've sent me over the past few years into booklets and am selling them at Yidianmo. These are the silver taels I earned from them, a total of 236,724 taels of silver."
Wen Yan took the banknote in surprise: "Just a few notebooks, and they sold for so much silver."
"You don't know how popular your notebook is.
The original manuscript is being sold for as much as 60,000 to 70,000 taels per copy."
Wen Yan didn't count them all and just randomly gave a stack to Ying Zhilin: "Here, your hard work fee."
Ying Zhilin curled his lips: "I've worked so hard for so many years, and you're just going to send me away like this?"
"What else do you want?"
"Don't you know what I want?"
Wen Yan rolled his eyes at him and said, "After so many years, you're still thinking about this."
Ying Zhilin bit her lip and said aggrievedly, "I will remember you for the rest of my life."
"I still don't want to get married, but I want a child, and you happen to be beautiful enough.
Ying Zhilin, are you willing to be the father of my child? " Wen Yan stretched out her hand towards him.
Ying Zhilin was delighted and immediately put his hand in hers: "I am very happy!"
Wen Yan held his hand.
Ying Zhilin leaned over and kissed her.
