The most popular thing in Beijing these days is newspapers. No matter if you are a high-ranking official or an ordinary citizen, you have to read the newspaper every day to learn about the latest current affairs and people's livelihood.
Even the adults who were going to court would quickly take a look at the newspaper before going to court to have a clearer understanding of the current situation.
Not only that, there are storytellers in restaurants and teahouses who specialize in reading content from newspapers, attracting many listeners to come and listen.
These stories are long and short, some tell interesting folk stories, and some are anecdotes about celebrities. They are really varied and full of surprises.
All of this is thanks to the box in Jialiu Lane. Every day, people fill this box with all kinds of news, including short stories, long stories, and reports about famous people and events.
The contents are rich and varied, overwhelming people and have become a topic of conversation after dinner.
The headline in today's newspaper is that the Emperor's birthday banquet has concluded successfully and envoys from various countries have bid farewell and returned home.
There was no mention of the birthday banquet. Such matters should not be publicized. They should be considered royal secrets, so everyone remained silent.
At this moment, Cao Jiao's maid Hong Guo hurried in and said happily:
"Congratulations, Madam Second, Madam Third. After the morning court session, my Second and Third Masters have both received promotions. I heard that they all made great contributions at the state banquet, and the Emperor was greatly pleased. The Second Master has been promoted to the rank of Second Rank General of the Eastern Expedition, and the Third Master has been promoted to the rank of Third Rank Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao were stunned at first, then their faces lit up with delight. Jin Linlin excitedly stood up, "I didn't expect them to make such a significant contribution to this state banquet. This promotion is well-deserved."
Cao Jiao couldn't hide her joy, "Yes, they have always been diligent and hardworking, and this time they have finally been recognized by the emperor."
Nanny Bai smiled and said, "Madams, this is a great joyous occasion. When the Second and Third Masters return, we will celebrate with great fanfare."
Before he could finish his words, he heard a commotion outside. It turned out to be Jiang Zhixu and Jiang Zhiyuan returning. The two of them were all smiles. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they bowed and said:
"Madam, this promotion is all thanks to your heroic performance at the state banquet that day. It gave us the opportunity to make a contribution." Jin Linlin and Cao Jiao smiled at each other and said:
"Your promotion is all due to your own efforts. In the future, you should work harder to serve His Majesty." The courtyard was immediately filled with laughter, and everyone was immersed in this joyful atmosphere.
The emperor should attribute the credit for saving him to her husband's promotion. Prosperity and adversity are shared by all. Alas! Damn the feudal dynasty, their achievements are attributed to their husbands. It's also drunken, but she is now a second-rank imperial consort.
In the palace, Emperor Song began to investigate the matter thoroughly after returning to the palace, vowing to uncover the forces behind the Imperial Master and the Crown Prince.
