Honglu Temple.
Cheng Wanwan sped up the class and taught all the basic knowledge in a cram-like manner. More than 20 officials below were busy writing and writing down the key points of knowledge.
"The main thing to learn a language is to read more." She took out a stack of paper, "These are some articles in Assab that I wrote in my spare time. I left them at Honglu Temple for you all to read slowly. There are also The phrase dictionary I compiled is not complete, but it is enough to cope with daily correspondence..."
Master Zhang heard something fishy and couldn't help but said, "Is the Sui'an going to leave?"
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "I arrived in the capital at the end of April. After staying for so long, it's time to go back. I am now also a member of Honglu Temple. If there are any letters or documents that I need to help translate in the future, I can have them sent to Huzhou University as quickly as possible. Kawamura…”
Everyone felt reluctant to give up, but they didn't know what to say.
"Hey, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. The people of Sui'an have contributed so much to Honglu Temple. I don't know how to thank you..." Mr. Zhang sighed, "I know that the people of Sui'an will leave sooner or later. I’ve asked people to prepare some specialties from the capital, and I’ll have them delivered to the Sui’an people’s residence later, so please don’t dislike them.”
"What are you talking about, Mr. Zhang?" Cheng Wanwan said sincerely, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhang's help, I would never be able to enter this palace in my life. I have met the emperor and the queen. There are so many concubines, as well as the crown prince and princess, and I have met so many first- and second-grade important ministers. When I return to Dahe Village, I will be able to brag about them for a lifetime, hahaha."
When she said this, the atmosphere relaxed.
Everyone talked and laughed around for a while, and then she proposed to go to the emperor to say goodbye.
She had inquired about it a long time ago. The emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. It was her first time to ask for an audience. The emperor would not refuse.
She was led by the eunuch to the door of the imperial study. As soon as he saw her, the young eunuch at the door came over immediately: "Who is this from Sui'an?"
"I plan to set off back to Dahe Village, and I came here specifically to say goodbye to the Emperor." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "I wonder if the Emperor has time now?"
The young eunuch shook his head: "Back to Sui'an, the Emperor is discussing matters with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I'm afraid I won't be available for a while."
Cheng Wanwan vaguely heard the emperor talking, and she nodded: "Then I'll go see the queen first."
After she came to the capital, the queen had always taken good care of her. If it weren't for the disparity in status between the two, she would have wanted to be friends with the queen, but of course she just gave up.
Soon she arrived at Kunning Palace. After explaining her purpose, Mother Zhou immediately took her inside.
"My wife has met the Queen!" Cheng Wanwan made a common courtesy, and then took out a box from his sleeve, "After my wife came to Beijing, the Queen arranged her residence, arranged for palace maids and eunuchs to take care of my daily life, and also I am grateful for the gift of countless gold and silver treasures. I know that the queen empress lacks everything, but she cannot give nothing just because of this. After thinking about it, this is the only thing that can make the queen empress like her. ”
The queen laughed and said, "I'm curious about what you're talking about. Aunt Zhou, take it up and take a look."
Aunt Zhou took the brocade box from Cheng Wanwan's hand, lowered her head and brought it to the queen. She gently opened it and a thick ginseng suddenly jumped into everyone's eyes.
Ginseng has always been a rare thing, and it is difficult to get it if it is more than fifty years old. However, most wealthy families will basically collect a hundred-year-old ginseng.
There are all kinds of good things in the palace, including countless century-old ginseng, as well as two-hundred-year-old and five-hundred-year-old ginseng. These top-quality ginseng are all in the private treasury of the queen or emperor, and are only used to save lives at critical moments.
The queen has ever seen the largest ginseng, which is the five-hundred-year-old ginseng king brought as tribute from Changbai Mountain. It is said that it can bring people back to life...
If it takes five hundred years to be called the King of Ginseng, then what does this ginseng offered by the Sui'an people mean... I'm afraid it must be at least a thousand years...
"This is a ginseng that my wife got by chance. I asked the doctor to evaluate it and said that it is a ginseng that is about eight hundred years old." Cheng Wanwan lowered his head and said, "This is the best product that absorbs the essence of the sun, moon, heaven and earth. It should be presented to the Queen. "
She bought this ginseng in the system mall with a price tag of seven million, which is equivalent to seven thousand taels of silver in Daewoo Dynasty currency.
This money was a huge sum of money no matter who it was placed in front of, but the queen rewarded her with so many things. The total value of those rewards was almost three to four thousand taels of silver. The queen's care for her and the honor given to her were beyond words. She couldn't convert it with money, so she would not lose money if she gave her ginseng worth seven thousand taels of silver.
"Eight-eight-hundred-year-old ginseng..." Grandma Zhou was speechless, "This is the real ginseng king."
The queen did not dare to touch the ginseng, so she closed the brocade box and looked at Cheng Wanwan with a more sincere look: "You can offer such a good thing to the royal family, which is enough to prove your sincerity to the royal family. The palace has nothing good to give you in return, but I can promise that as long as you are in the capital, I will protect you."
Cheng Wanwan immediately said: "Thank you, Queen, for your kindness, I will deeply appreciate it!"
After talking to the queen for a while, the little eunuch from the royal study came over. She immediately got up and left, and followed the little eunuch to the royal study.
The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, his gaze fell on Cheng Wanwan calmly: "I heard that the Sui'an people have been teaching Zhang Aiqing and others in Honglu Temple these days to learn the Assab language. How is the progress?"
"Back to the Emperor, although Mr. Zhang is older, he is very eager to learn and has learned almost enough." Cheng Wanwan lowered his head and replied, "I asked to see the Emperor specifically to resign. Although I will stay away from the capital in the future, , but I will definitely remember my identity as the chief guest of Honglu Temple, and I will definitely share the worries for the court and the emperor."
The emperor closed the memorial in his hand and said in a low voice: "So, you are determined to go back?"
It is not that there are no female officials in the Dayu Dynasty, but they all serve the harem. Sui'an is the first female official he has appointed. She can go to the court to discuss politics. It can be said that this is the greatest honor in the world. If it were an ordinary person, it would not be the right. Did she try her best to stay in the capital? She actually asked to go back?
"My wife is from Dahe Village, Pingan County. All my relatives and friends are on that land, so I naturally have to go back." Cheng Wanwan replied, "Besides, my wife is an out-and-out rural person who likes to work with the land and the land. Dealing with crops, I also hope to make greater contributions to Daewoo’s farming..."
The emperor looked at her. In fact, he secretly wanted to keep her in the capital. Her talents could not only shine in Honglu Temple, but also go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. She could make greater contributions... But She herself prefers the land and the free sky. Being restrained in the capital is not conducive to her researching some new things.
He nodded: "I will arrange for someone to escort you back to Dahe Village."
"There is no need to escort, that..." Cheng Wanwan raised his head a little, "The emperor said before that he would reward me, does this still count?"
