"I'm going to issue an edict right after the beating?"
Ning Wuyao thought to himself: The meaning of a slap and a sweet date should not be too obvious.
He looked at Zhou Jingxian, who blinked blankly: she didn't know about Grandpa Huang and the imperial edict.
Forget about the imperial edict, if she had known that there was nothing detrimental to Mr. Ning in the imperial grandfather's memorial criticizing Shu Rui, she would not have come to join in the fun.
If you have this time, wouldn't it be nice to take on one more killer business and make money by eradicating those who are full of evildoers?
Ning Wuyan saw that the other party didn't understand what he meant at all, so he had to challenge: "Princess Jingxian, why are you still standing there? Go and receive the order."
"Why should I go?" Zhou Jingxian asked without knowing why.
Knowing that she really had no political acumen, Ning Wushan could only break it into pieces and explain it clearly to her.
"For such an important matter as distilling liquor, the emperor will certainly not let others master the secrets of it. He will definitely choose trustworthy people to supervise the production. Among the Jinling royal family, you and Zhou An are the only ones here. Zhou An has a problem with the Ning family and was also arrested. Suspicious of collusion with the Ye family, who will the emperor choose to take charge of this matter?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jingxian learned that she was about to be reused by Grandpa Huang, and a happy smile burst out on her face.
Then he thought that this was just Ning Wuyan's guess, and his smile disappeared like a flash in the pan.
Without waiting for Ning Wu to leave, he quickly rushed towards the government office lobby.
Shen Youchu saw Zhou Jingxian's eagerness, and after carefully considering Ning Wushu's words, he discovered a secret: "Mr. Ning, do you want Jingxian to help you matchmaking and join Prince Kang?"
"how you said that?"
"The Mr. Ning I know usually has a purpose when doing good deeds and leaving his name behind."
If the emperor really entrusted Zhou Jingxian with a heavy responsibility, what Ning Wuhou had just said was to ask Zhou Jingxian to remember him as a favor.
After all, if it hadn't been for the Ning family, Zhou Jingxian wouldn't have been responsible for such a thing.
Ning Wuhuang did have this idea, but he didn't want to enter King Kang's camp. He rubbed Shen Youchu's smart little head and said: "Miss Shen, if you don't tell the truth, you still have friends."
"Don't worry, I will never tell Jingxian, lest she be too happy to sleep."
Uh...you misunderstood me.
Ning Wuyang was about to explain when he saw Ning Weiguo's face was full of joy and he hurriedly came over. Without any further explanation, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Second uncle..."
"Hurry up and follow me to receive the order."
Judging from what the second uncle meant, the imperial edict also involves the Ning family.
Ning Wuyang reviewed what he told Tong Buhuo.
A bit unexpected.
Based on the emperor's punishment of only hitting him fifty times, it was expected.
Looking at the second uncle's face, he burst into laughter. The content in the imperial edict must be beneficial to the Ning family.
"Miss Shen, please go outside and wait for me."
"I want to tag along."
"You have to kneel down when you go. The ground is cold. I will tell you the content of the imperial edict later."
As soon as Ning Wuyan finished speaking, he was dragged away by Ning Weiguo who was flying at his feet.
After Shen Youchu struggled for a while, he decided to listen to Mr. Ning and go outside to wait for someone.
She really didn't want to kneel down to the eunuch who was delivering orders.
"Master Ning is as considerate as ever."
Shen Youchu touched the bangs beside his ears. Thinking of the scene where Mr. Ning helped take care of his hair just now, his heart beat a few times for no reason, and he hurriedly covered his blushing face with his small hands.
"Yeah...Why did Mr. Ning help me take care of my hair? Do you think I'm not well-groomed?"
"If I had known, I would have freshened up before meeting him, but I was worried that he would be bullied by the Ye family."
Mei Xiang saw her young lady covering her face and thinking wildly, and knew that her young lady was really attracted to Mr. Ning, but the young lady, who had just begun to fall in love, seemed not to understand Mr. Ning's thoughts.
She really wanted to say, "Miss, your company these days has worked. Mr. Ning is more interested in you than before."
But thinking of the poems she had copied and recited before, she was worried that she had guessed Mr. Ning's thoughts wrongly, so she decided to talk less and do more, so as not to give the young lady any ideas.
"Miss, do you want to go to Ji Mansion to inform you in advance?"
"No need, I'm here to give Jin'er a surprise."
…
In the lobby.
The arrival of the eunuch who announced the order made everyone kneel to the ground.
Zhou An was kneeling in the corner, and for the first time he didn't want to be in the limelight in front of others.
However, the eunuch who delivered the order deliberately asked him to come forward and listen to the order with a fake smile on his face, which gave Zhou An a vague feeling of bad premonition.
"Princess Xian, please come forward. One of these three imperial edicts was conveyed specifically to you by Your Majesty."
The wrinkles on the eunuch's face turned into chrysanthemums.
Su Rui saw the different treatment of Zhou An and Zhou Jingxian and guessed the content of the imperial edict.
After the eunuch who delivered the order called the two most important people, he looked at the others and asked curiously: "Is that Shi Xian Ning okay?"
"I'm coming."
Ning Wuyang was pulled by Ning Weiguo, and he knelt behind Zhou Jingxian with a sliding shovel, which made him grin in pain.
Looking up, he saw the eunuch who was delivering the order with a kind-hearted smile. He quickly apologized: "I just received fifty blows. I'm going down to the backyard to apply medicine. Thank you for your long wait, father-in-law."
"The old slave only waited for a moment, not a long time. When everyone came, the old slave announced the order."
"Long live your Majesty!"
Ning Wuchang followed the stream and knelt down on the ground.
He wasn't used to kneeling at all times, but he had to do as the Romans did in this matter.
After prostrating, the eunuch who delivered the order looked around, cleared his throat and chanted: "Heaven carries the emperor, the edict says."
"It is a meritorious service for the Ning family to offer wine. The late old lady of the Ning family has been awarded the title of fourth-grade imperial concubine—Mrs. Shuo Ren!"
Ning Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his head, stunned.
Rewarding a wife with a royal title is usually related to the husband's actual power. He is now only a seventh-grade school officer, with a fourth-grade imperial title... He only served as a fourth-grade deputy general when he followed His Majesty in the war.
Ning Feng burst into tears at the thought: So His Majesty still remembers him!
The eunuch who delivered the order swept his gaze from Ning Feng to Ning Weiguo, who was wearing Zhaomo official uniform: "The three ladies of the Ning Mansion were granted the title of sixth-grade imperial minister. They will have a salary of 100 taels and 100 acres of fertile land."
Ning Wuyang read the division of official positions and rewards in the "Daxing Law Order".
When Daxing awards official positions, the first to fifth-grade officers are called imperial orders, and the sixth- to ninth-rank officials are called imperial orders.
The same is true for the rewards given to his wives. Although the imperial decree and imperial decree wives have salaries but no real power, with these titles, they are always guests at some gatherings.
The most important thing is that the eldest uncle and the second uncle are both very low-ranking officials, but the wife is awarded a reward for leapfrogging her rank. This is sending a signal.
Your Majesty wants to promote the Ning family!
Zhou Jingxian glanced at Ning Wuyan with regret, and sighed to herself: Grandpa Huang started so quickly, and she couldn't even think of wooing the Ning family to join her father's camp.
"I am very happy that the Ning family is offering a recipe to Daxing. I would like to reward the Ning family for steaming their own wine to make perfume. Since this is the only one in Daxing, the Ning family is not allowed to steam their own wine for takeout."
When Ning Wuyang heard this, he was filled with joy.
The gift is not in vain. From now on, the perfume will be the patent of the Ning family, and no one can try to snatch it away.
The emperor's move might even set off a wave of people offering prescriptions.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Everyone in the Ning family thanked him in unison.
Ning Feng received the imperial edict with tears in his eyes, lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes.
After the eunuch who delivered the order said, "Congratulations, General Ning," his eyes fell on Zhou Jingxian's head.
"Zhou Jingxian, the daughter of King Kang, is intelligent, agile, eager for public good, and worthy of a great responsibility. From now on, she will be named Princess Sanpinxian and receive the fief of Wuhu. She will temporarily be in charge of supervising the production of new wine on my behalf. She will also supervise Tong Guanshi and the Ning family to start work as soon as possible. A food-saving brewing recipe was developed, and Princess Xian’s treasure book and seal were sent to the newly moved Prince Kang’s Mansion, and you can collect it after you return to Beijing.”
The third rank, an official rank that can only be obtained by officials up to the rank of Shangshu, was awarded to Zhou Jingxian beyond the standard.
I don't know how many levels higher than Zhou An, a regular-sized Hou Ye.
When Zhou An, who was kneeling next to him, heard this reward, his eyes turned green with jealousy!
only.
As soon as this imperial edict was read out, Ning Wuhuang glanced at Zhou Jingxian sympathetically.
