Accept the order?
Xiao Fuyuan was standing in the yard, washing fruits and eating them with Feng Zhiheng, when he suddenly heard the words "receive the order" and didn't react for a moment.
Old lady Bai, Bai Dazhuang, Bai Dazhuang, Xie Chuntao and others looked at the eunuch who was announcing the decree in front of them, with blank expressions on their faces.
The main reason was that no one had ever experienced this before. At most, the county magistrate presented a plaque to the tiger-fighting hero, and suddenly a eunuch came to accept the order, leaving everyone completely confused.
"The imperial edict has arrived, Bai Fuyuan received it."
What?
It's for her little Fuyuan.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at the adults at home. At this time, except for the fourth brother who left for Huaishui Academy yesterday, the third brother and the sister-in-law were doing business in the town, the other family members were all there. Similarly, the other family members were collectively confused.
The eunuch who announced the decree was also confused. He had announced it so many times. This was the first time he had been sent thousands of miles away to a village in Nanguan Town to announce the decree. It was also the first time he encountered a situation where the recipients of the decree were collectively blinded.
"This uncle, I am Fu Yuan." Little Fu Yuan happily ran to the eunuch and asked sweetly.
Oh, this little girl is pretty. She is simply the pearl of the mountain village.
With her exquisite eyebrows and big watery eyes, even the royal princesses and princesses are not as good as her.
When Eunuch Hong saw Xiao Fuyuan, the slight dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
As for the farmer, this was the first time he had received an order, so he didn’t understand what was normal.
Eunuch Hong himself didn't even know why he started to double standard when he fell in love with Xiao Fuyuan.
When Mrs. Zhen heard the order, she was in a daze. She was subconsciously afraid and her face turned pale.
Zhou didn't know why, so she quickly pulled Zhen to the yard.
"Eunuch Hong, thank you for your hard work and come to announce the decree in person." As a court lady, she often received summons from the Queen Mother, so she naturally recognized Eunuch Hong as a popular person in front of the Queen Mother.
Eunuch Hong greeted the Zhou family for a few words, and then continued to speak louder: "The Bai family has accepted the order."
"Quickly, prepare the incense table to receive the order." The Bai family is not familiar with the order receiving process. As the wife of the bride, Zhou is very familiar with the process of receiving the order, so Zhou becomes the Bai family's guide for receiving the order.
Seeing the kind smile on Eunuch Hong's face, Zhen's heart dropped into her stomach.
If it was something bad, there would have been a line of arresting soldiers outside.
Lao Bai's family was busy preparing.
Liu Hong walked to the entrance of the village and learned the news, turned around and rushed towards Lao Bai's house. After getting off the carriage, he hurried to Lao Bai's house to help prepare for the order.
At Liu Hong's signal, Lao Bai's family knelt down all over the yard.
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that the young daughter of the Bai family is talented and caring for the villagers... She is specially named the head of Furong Village and will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold. I admire this!"
Eunuch Hong read out the imperial edict in his characteristic thin and soft voice.
The Bai family members who were still kneeling were once again confused.
The emperor who was far away in the capital actually knew about their little Fuyuan and made her the head of the village.
There was no sign at all, this canonization was too sudden.
"Master Furong, please accept the edict." After Eunuch Hong read out the edict, he came to Xiao Fuyuan with a smile and handed her the bright edict.
Xiao Fuyuan stood up quickly and took the imperial edict with both hands.
This is the ancient imperial edict!
Xiao Fuyuan held the imperial edict and looked down, smiling.
Although she didn't quite understand the words in the imperial edict, they were all good words to describe her.
Xiao Fuyuan raised her head and looked at Eunuch Hong. Subconsciously, she felt that the father-in-law in front of her was a good person.
So he smiled at Eunuch Hong and said sweetly: "Thank you, uncle, for your hard work along the way."
Eunuch Hong looked at the little girl in front of him and fell in love with her.
He looks good, has a sweet voice, and knows etiquette at a young age.
No wonder everyone said she was lucky, no wonder she was named the village head by the emperor.
Mrs. Bai and Bai Banban quickly invited Eunuch Hong into the house to drink tea.
Eunuch Hong quickly waved his hand and said: "You're welcome, our family still has things to do. We will return to the palace to resume our duties after we finish them."
Mrs. Bai and Bai Banban didn't dare to force them to stay.
Mrs. Zhen walked forward, took out a cloth bag containing silver, and stuffed it into Eunuch Hong's hand.
"Father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way. You can take these and drink tea."
Eunuch Hong glanced at Zhen.
Although he was not showy just now, he actually knew the rules very well.
Eunuch Hong did not refuse and calmly accepted the money given by Zhen.
This is a happy event, the money you give is happy money, and the money you get is good luck. Besides, he had to work hard all the way from the capital to announce the decree, so he naturally had to get some hard-earned money.
Eunuch Hong left Lao Bai's house and turned into the big house opposite.
"Master... Young Master." Eunuch Hong burst into tears when he saw A Zhen.
"How is Grandma Huang?" A Zhen asked.
"Okay, everything is fine, the Queen Mother is fine, the Emperor is fine, the Queen... is fine too." Eunuch Hong said.
"Will Xiao Yuanbao only be granted the title of village head?" A Zhen changed the subject.
"Back to Master, yes." Eunuch Hong said with a smile.
Being a village head is already a royal gift. As for any girl from a peasant family in the world who can be named a village head, the girl from the Bai family is the first in Great Xia.
"She first discovered iron ore, and then donated the seeds of Yan and millet. She should be given a higher title." A Zhen was quite indignant, "Xiao Yuan Bao is a capable minister, and my father has become more and more stingy recently. .”
She is a little girl after all, the young master's filter must be too heavy.
Eunuch Hong's mouth twitched. He didn't dare to discuss the emperor with the young master.
Although Ah Zhen believed that Xiao Fuyuan should be worthy of a higher grade, the title of village head still made the Lao Bai family excited.
At this time, the air in Lao Bai's house was filled with the smell of joy.
There's nothing I can do about it, my daughter is so ambitious that she's already a titled person.
It was also a title given by the emperor himself.
The Lord of Fulong shows that his daughter is blessed with both blessing and glory.
"Sister Xiao Yuanbao, congratulations to you." Feng Zhiheng was happy for Xiao Fuyuan, but at the same time he felt lonely. Why was the first imperial edict he received was the edict of marriage? It was so heartbreaking.
"Sister, congratulations." Mrs. Zhou was happy from the bottom of her heart and couldn't help but glance at Liu Hong to see if you still dare to take advantage of Xiao Fuyuan in the future. Now she is not something that even cats and dogs can think of.
"Sister, you are now the first person in our family to be an official." Bai Zhaomei said happily.
Dalang answered from the side: "Which one is more powerful, the aunt or the county magistrate?"
Liu Hong: "..."
Xiao Fuyuan turned her head and looked at Liu Hong. She didn't know who was bigger.
Sanlang asked excitedly: "Auntie, if your official position is high, his family will not dare to let you become a concubine in the future."
Xiao Fuyuan: "..."
Liu Hong: "..."
Mrs. Bai slapped Dalang Sanlang on the buttocks and shouted: "The county magistrate is the official of one parent."
Liu Hong awkwardly encouraged Xiao Fuyuan and said goodbye directly. However, after thinking about it, he felt very happy that there was actually a village head in his jurisdiction.
For him, it is a meritorious achievement of education and can be written in the work report.
Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Zhen looked at each other, their eyes focused on little Fuyuan. Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law felt very complicated.
They always wanted Xiao Fuyuan to keep a low profile.
But now even the emperor in the palace knows about it.
Why keep a low profile from now on?
