"Hurry up, don't just stand there! The officials are waiting anxiously!"
Xiao Kang was not anxious, but the matchmaker was.
She was well-informed and good at asking questions. When she knew that a distinguished person was coming to visit the Xiao family, she rushed over to inform them immediately.
The nobles in the palace are the people from heaven! The Xiao family is bound to be prosperous!
I've been talking about his family's problems a lot during this period, but now I have to mend our relationship!
The matchmaker stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Kang's sleeve, and prepared to take him away.
Xiao Kang's hands trembled, and he broke free from the matchmaker, saying, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, and they won't tell me. Anyway, it must be a good thing. Our family is in a state of excitement right now!"
Our family...who is talking to your family?
Xiao Kang said calmly: "Oh, thank you. I will go home now."
Seeing his cold attitude, the matchmaker gritted her teeth, walked up to Xiao Kang, grabbed his sleeve and took him to a nearby shop that was selling bicycles.
Xiao Kang frowned: "What are you going to do?"
The matchmaker smiled and pointed to a row of bicycles in front of the store: "I'll buy you a bicycle. Go back quickly and don't neglect me."
Then he walked into the store without saying anything and came out with a key.
He patted Xiao Kang's hand and said, "Do you know how to ride? I'll give you this bike! Go home quickly."
Seeing her so attentive, Xiao Kang was surprised and swallowed his saliva: "You can ride... This is a loan from me. I'll give you the money when I get home."
He had ridden a bicycle from his employer before, it was a very simple one, but he never bought one because he felt sorry for the money, and he also heard that this thing was very easy to lose.
Xiao Kang took the key and unlocked the wheel. The matchmaker beside him was still chattering: "Old Xiao, we are all neighbors. This little thing doesn't matter. You must never forget me in the future. I have long seen that you have great potential. As the old saying goes, great things come late! Your son will also have great potential. I am helping him find a lady from a wealthy family. You can't put it off when the time comes. Not to mention your son, you should also remarry. Look at me..."
Xiao Kang was so annoyed that he unlocked the bike, stepped on it, and kicked the pedal swiftly.
He slipped out and disappeared quickly from the matchmaker's sight...
After pedaling all the way back to his home, Xiao Letian suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
The area near my home has been surrounded by people!
There were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods, but they were covered with red cloth.
The person in the center was dressed gorgeously and was particularly conspicuous riding a tall horse.
Passersby continued to gather around, asking: "What's going on? Did someone commit a crime today or is it a happy event? Why are there so many people around?"
"There's an official coming to visit our old Xiao family. Look at the scene, with gongs and drums, does it look like he's committing a crime?"
"The old Xiao family? Is he the one who pretends to be a scholar every day?"
"Fuck, keep your voice down...it's him."
Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes spotted Xiao Kang and shouted, "Xiao Kang! Xiao Kang is here!"
The densely packed crowd immediately turned their gazes and looked at Xiao Kang behind them.
The eunuch delivering the imperial eunuch's order turned his horse around and shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
This was the first time Xiao Kang had experienced such a situation, and he felt a little nervous.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict came before him and asked, "Are you Xiao Kang?"
Xiao Kang asked in a tight voice: "That's right, I wonder if you..."
The eunuch's expression changed immediately, and he became enthusiastic. He dismounted, walked up to Xiao Kang, and bowed, saying, "Hello, Mr. Xiao. Congratulations."
"I am here today on the orders of His Majesty to give you a reward."
"Give...give a reward?" Xiao Kang was confused.
There was already an uproar all around.
"By His Majesty's order! It's His Majesty's reward! My God..."
"Don't judge a book by its cover, don't judge a book by its cover!"
The eunuch who delivered the decree frowned and shouted to all around: "Silence! Everyone, be quiet!"
The surroundings immediately became silent.
The eunuch who delivered the decree continued, "Mr. Xiao, today's reward is due to your son's contribution, but when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Fang Zheng specially ordered me to deliver the decree, I must make sure that you will be honored! Originally, these people who were watching should be driven away. If you mind, I will drive them away now."
"No...I don't mind." Xiao Kang looked a little dazed.
My son has done something great? Why haven't I heard him mention it?
The eunuch said, "Okay! Please listen to my order, Mr. Xiao!"
Xiao Kang lifted his skirt and knelt on his knees. The people around him followed suit and looked at the eunuch with fanatical eyes.
Although today's experience was a free ride, it's enough for me to brag about for half my life!
The eunuch who delivered the decree cleared his throat and said, "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: Xiao Letian of Dongjiao University, who looks up at the principles of the universe and looks down at the opportunities of nature, writes an article on the flow of air..."
Xiao Kang's head was buzzing. Am I dreaming?
Who can fly to the sky, make great contributions to the court, be rewarded with money and food, be praised by the emperor, and be personally recommended by the emperor?
One after another, big news came into my ears.
The people around were completely silent, holding their breath and not moving.
After the eunuch finished reading the decree, he looked at Xiao Kang with a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, please accept my decree."
Xiao Kang quickly stood up and took the imperial edict.
The eunuch immediately said, "Come here, let Mr. Xiao unveil the plaque!"
Two strong men came out, carrying a plaque covered with a large red cloth and decorated with red flowers and presented it to Xiao Kang.
Xiao Kang first glanced at the eunuch, and when he saw him nod, he walked forward and slowly pulled off the red cloth.
Six big words suddenly caught Xiao Kang's eyes.
