Chapter 213 I've Learned a lot
In the kitchen, Li Wanyue asked Qingqi and Hongxiu to take out the small purses they usually sewed, put three taels of silver in each of them, and give them to the guards.
The two of them went to do it immediately.
Their hearts were beating wildly, they suddenly found themselves following a wealthy sponsor.
There is actually an imperial decree coming down. From now on, the young lady will be almost like an official.
Oh my god, this is incredible.
Zhao Suying and Wang Guixiang were so excited that they couldn't calm down for a long time.
I thought I was very happy that Sandong came back, but I didn’t expect such a great thing to happen.
Their Yueyue is really successful.
Yuanbao and Shunzi distributed the purses to the guards while serving tea and snacks, and the guards were all smiling happily.
I feel that I am worthy of the emperor's reward and that I can get things done.
At this time, Li Sandong came to the kitchen and said with a smile: "Sister, congratulations."
"Thank you, little brother." Li Wanyue asked, "Why did you come back with Lord Han?"
Li Sandong said: "When we arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, we first taught them how to plant potatoes and sweet potato seedlings. After a while, when the sweet potatoes sprouted and were transplanted, we told them the precautions for the follow-up, and then we could go back. It just so happened that Lord Han was coming to our house to announce the decree, so I followed him.
During this time away from home, thanks to Brother Xie who asked someone to take care of me, and Mr. Han's eldest son who was also in charge of planting, I also learned to ride a horse with him when I was free, and also saw the prosperity of the capital, which was really shocking. Sister, if you have time, go to the capital to take a look."
"Well, let's go when we are free. Then our whole family can go together."
Li Wanyue looked at Li Sandong. Not bad, as expected, there were many people going out for a run. This time, Li Sandong was different from before.
"Sandong, you must have learned a lot this time."
"Well, although the time was short, I really learned a lot. I also want to thank you for giving me the opportunity."
Li Wanyue said: "You should go out and rest for a while. When you are free, tell us about your experience along the way."
Li Sandong went out obediently.
Li Wanyue thought of some dishes, and Nanny Fang and the others started preparing them, with Li Wanyue in charge of cooking.
In less than an hour, twelve dishes and two soups were prepared.
While everyone was eating, Li Wanyue made a few more snacks.
After the people finished eating, she wrapped the snacks and put them in a small box, inside which she placed a small purse containing a hundred taels of silver.
Good relationships must be maintained. Although it is not much for Lord Han, it is a token of his thoughtfulness.
When seeing them off, Li Wanyue handed the wooden box to Lord Han and said, "Lord Han, this is the snack I made myself. Please try it."
Lord Han understood instantly and took it with a smile: "This is made by Lord Anping himself. I will definitely taste it."
Then he got into the carriage, opened the box, saw the hundred taels of silver in his purse, and put it away with a smile on his face.
This little girl is capable, generous and knowledgeable. It's a pity that she is buried in the village.
Xie Yan came with Lord Han, so naturally he had to go along.
He looked at Li Wanyue and said, "I'm leaving first. I'll come see you when I have time."
"good."
Xie Yan smiled, turned around and got into the carriage.
He said, "Master Han, my uncle and his family are settled in a manor outside the county town, why don't you settle there too?"
"Okay, I heard that Lord Shen and Lord Xie are here to celebrate Old Madam Shen's birthday, and they should be returning to Beijing soon."
"Yes, I am planning to return to Beijing in the next two days."
"It just so happens that we can go back to Beijing together."
"Please take care of me, Lord Han."
Lord Han waved his hand. With what Xie Yan had done, he would definitely be promoted next year, but he didn't know whether he was willing to leave.
The emperor noted his contribution this time and rewarded him with some gold, silver, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. If he makes further contributions in the future, he will not only be promoted, but may even be granted the title of earl.
I should interact more with Xie Yan in the future.
The two started chatting.
The wheels of the carriage turned, and the guards mounted their horses and followed closely behind, and the group left in a mighty procession.
The people in the yard breathed a sigh of relief.
The villagers who had been paying attention to the Li family's movements gathered around when they saw them leave.
Old Man Li and others from the Li family's old house also squeezed in, waiting to hear the answer.
"Dashan, what are these people here for?"
"Yes, I saw that they brought several large boxes, and two officials came specially for this."
"Village chief, please tell us about it so that we can learn more about it."
The village chief looked at Li Youshan, and Li Youshan nodded. He hadn't recovered yet, so he decided to let the village chief do it.
This is such an honor, we must let everyone know.
The village chief raised his hand to suppress it, and said with a smile: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. Something very glorious has happened in our village. The two adults just now came to convey the imperial decree."
"Imperial edict?" Everyone gasped, looking shocked.
This word is something they never come across in their daily lives.
The village chief continued, "Yes, Yueyue... No, no, she should be called a county lady now. She was named Anping County Lady by the emperor. This is a rank, higher than the county magistrate. When you see her in the future, you must be respectful and greet her."
Li Youshan waved his hands and said, "No, no, we are all from the same village. There is no need to be so particular. We can just get along the same way as before."
The scene was so quiet that one could hear the sound of someone falling to the ground. No one came to their senses. After a while, they started to talk.
Some congratulated, some praised, and some were in disbelief.
Old man Li narrowed his eyes in a smile. Li Wanyue was his granddaughter. It was his honor that she had been given a title.
Li Youfu and others had complicated expressions. Now the eldest wife was far ahead of the others and there was no need to compare with them.
Some people curiously asked: "Why did His Majesty confer the title of Yue girl?"
"Because Yue girl invented the water wheel and thresher, and helped grow sweet potatoes and yams, this is a good thing that benefits the people. Your Majesty is wise. Yue girl is a girl and cannot be given an official position, so she was given an imperial decree."
Everyone was shocked.
Village Chief Li added, "Listen to me, everyone. Yue's glory is the glory of our entire village. You should also be proud when you go out. We should learn from her. Don't do anything bad in her name in the future. If you destroy her, you will also destroy our village. If I find out, don't blame me for not reminding you. You will suffer the consequences when the time comes."
Li Wanyue heard this inside and nodded silently. The village chief was a cautious man and the reminder was right.
A villager asked: "Village head, can we see what the imperial edict looks like?"
Village Chief Li said, according to what he had agreed with Li Youshan, "We will open the ancestral hall tomorrow and inform the ancestors. You can also take a look, but you can only look, not touch."
Afterwards, Li Youshan said that a banquet would be held the day after tomorrow to celebrate and asked everyone to go home first.
The villagers then went back.
Old man Li said cheerfully, "Dashan, can you let me take a look at the imperial edict first and give it a thumbs up?"
Li Youshan nodded and led his men in.
Old Mrs. Li and Li Youfu also followed in.
It wasn't until he saw the bright yellow scroll placed in the middle of the hall that he was instantly filled with awe.
I didn't even dare to touch it, I just stared at it eagerly.
Then he praised Li Wanyue a few words and left.
He walked out of the door, straightened his back, put his hands behind his back, held his head high, and walked with a swaying walk, catching up with the rooster.
