Under the guidance of Cheng Yaojin, Qin Ming arranged for the maids in the palace to accept the imperial edict and a corresponding reward.
Seeing that His Majesty's affairs were settled, Wuji said to Qin Ming:
"Congratulations to the man from Qin County."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming quickly bowed and said:
"Father-in-law, you have worked hard all the way. Please come to the front hall to have tea."
Wuji heard the words and waved his hands and said:
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Mr. Qin County. Our family has to rush back to recover, so we don't dare to delay."
When Qin Ming heard this, his mind was spinning. He thought that Li Er might give him an official position, but he didn't expect it would be so soon, and what's more terrible.
For this old eunuch to be so valued by Cheng Yaojin, he was obviously Li Er's confidant.
In TV dramas, after the eunuch announces the edict, the master's family always gives gifts.
But the incident happened suddenly, and Qin Ming was not prepared. If he offended someone, he would give Li Er some eye drops later. This is no joke.
Although this is not the Ming Dynasty, and the eunuchs may not have that much power, there are a few eunuchs who are not petty. In history, are there not many people who were stabbed and stabbed to death by eunuchs?
He had an idea, glanced at Cheng Yaojin and others, and then said to Wuji:
"Please, father-in-law, please wait for a moment while I explain a few words first."
Wuji smiled and nodded when he heard the words.
After finishing speaking, Qin Mingxian said to Lu Guogong and his party:
"Uncles, please move to the front hall first. My nephew will come back after seeing off his father-in-law."
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said:
"Well, dear nephew, just go and do your work. Uncle here will take care of you first."
After saying this, Cheng Yaojin led Qin Qiong and others into the front hall.
Qin Ming walked to Xiao Changxi and whispered a few words. Then he walked to Wuji and other eunuchs and maids, and bowed:
"Please, Mr. Wu Tongue."
Wuji smiled and nodded. Everyone had just left the front yard. Wuji seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly stopped and said:
"By the way, Mr. Qin County, Your Majesty has made a special statement today. Mr. Qin County can come into the palace at six o'clock tomorrow to express his gratitude."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
Entering the palace to express gratitude? Is there still this process?
At this time, Wu Shi continued:
"We haven't seen each other for a long time. Which of the ministers has His Majesty been so interested in? Mr. Qin County is really lucky."
Qin Ming nodded when he heard this and said:
"My father-in-law is too flattering. I just happened to meet him at the right time."
Wuji just smiled when he heard the words and didn't say much.
Qin Ming, Wu Ji and others, soon arrived at the gate of Qin Mansion. At this time, the gate of Qin Mansion was already full of villagers who came to see the excitement. Among the group of people, Lao Li was standing at the front.
Everyone at the door already knew that the husband of the Qin family had been given a title by the imperial court, and that the villagers themselves had also become the food towns of the Qin family. Everyone standing at the door was extremely excited.
But at this time, everyone in the palace who announced the decree was there, and no one dared to make any noise. They could only stand on both sides of the road and watch.
Qin Ming nodded towards Li Zheng and led Wu Shi and others towards the carriage.
As Qin Ming walked, he asked Wu Yan about the precautions for entering the palace tomorrow, and looked back at the door of the palace from time to time.
Just as Wu Shi was about to get on the carriage, Xiao Changxi hurriedly appeared at the door with her maid in tow.
Qin Ming hurriedly said to Wuyu:
"Please, father-in-law, please wait a moment."
Wuji took back the steps he was about to take when he heard the words, and said to Qin Ming doubtfully:
"Is there anything else wrong with Qin County man?"
Qin Ming smiled and said:
"Eunuch, it will take more than an hour to get to the palace from here. I just asked someone to prepare some cakes. I hope my father-in-law doesn't dislike it."
Wuji was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then said with a smile:
"The man from Qin County is interested."
While the two were talking, Xiao Changxi had already walked closer with the maid.
Wu Tongue let the little eunuch beside him take the food box, then he cupped his hands towards Qin Ming and said:
"Mr. Qin County, please come back. Our family will return to the palace soon."
Qin Ming cupped his hands and said:
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
After watching Wu Shi and others leave, Qin Ming turned to Xiao Changxi and said:
"Thanks a lot."
Xiao Changxi shook her head when she heard this, and stood behind Qin Ming with the maid.
When Lao Li saw the people in the palace leaving, he stepped forward and stopped three steps away from Qin Ming, bowed and said:
"Jiao Li Zhang Tao has met the Qin County man and congratulates the county man on his knighthood."
Seeing this, the other people in Zhuangzi hurriedly bowed and said:
"I've met the man from Qin County. Congratulations to the county man for being knighted."
When Qin Ming saw this, he took two steps, helped the leader up, and said:
"Li Zheng, you are a highly respected man, but please don't try to undermine me. Fellow villagers, please get up quickly."
After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another, and then looked at Qin Ming excitedly.
Qin Ming looked at the excited eyes of the villagers and couldn't explain how he felt. Everything was too sudden and he had not yet accepted this change of identity.
Seeing Qin Ming stunned, Xiao Changxi reminded her in a low voice:
"Sir, according to custom, we will have a running water mat in our house for three days."
Qin Ming nodded slightly when he heard this, thought about it and said to the villagers:
"Qin Ming would like to thank the villagers for coming to congratulate me. Starting tomorrow, the Qin Mansion will set up a running water banquet for three days on the street at the door, and invite the villagers to come and join the banquet."
Everyone cheered when they heard this, and the door of Qin Mansion became lively in an instant. Since many people in Zhuangzi had limited education, all kinds of weird and auspicious words kept coming out.
"Thank you, Qin County man."
"A man from Qin County, a prince for generations."
"Longevity."
"bounty happiness."
"Have a son soon."
"The house is full of descendants."
....
Qin Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this. He smiled and bowed his hands to everyone, then took Xiao Changxi and others back to the Qin Mansion.
At this moment, there were several giant Buddhas waiting for him in the mansion. Fortunately, Cheng Yaojin and others arrived.
Otherwise, Qin Ming, a novice in officialdom, would not know who to ask about what his official position is.
Alas, I have fallen into Li Er's trap, and I have been conferred the title of Chaoyi Lang of Lao Shizi in a daze.
Qin Ming knew just by hearing the name that this official had to go to court. Can I not go to court?
He had already heard from Xiong Da that it was Yinshi in the morning, so he had to rush to Zhuque Gate at around three o'clock in the morning.
This fucking thing is much scarier than 996. Going to work so early will ruin your body even though you are so good.
What kind of evil have I done? If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have provoked Li Er when he came last year.
If I hadn't met Li Er, I didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and I had the well-behaved Wan'er by my side, how cool would I be living now?
It’s really your own fault and you can’t live.
.....
At this time, outside Qinjiazhuang, a little eunuch was holding a food box and swallowing saliva.
Seeing the little eunuch wanting to eat but not daring to eat, Wuji laughed and cursed:
"Good-for-nothing."
The little eunuch was a simple and honest man, and he especially liked small animals. Every time he passed by the imperial garden, he would secretly scatter some food and feed it to the birds in the garden.
One time, I was so focused on feeding that I didn’t pay attention to what was going on around me.
Wuji happened to bump into him. Wuji saw that the little eunuch cherished animals and was honest and honest, so he kept him by his side to serve him. He has been serving him for two years.
Xiao Dongzi curled his lips when he heard this and said aggrievedly:
"Father, you can't blame Xiao Dongzi. The smell from this food box is really too sweet."
Wuji heard the words and stretched out his hand, patted Xiao Dongzi on the head and said:
"You idiot!"
Xiao Dongzi was not afraid of being beaten, but smiled silly at Wu Tan.
Seeing this, Wu Jian was quite happy. After all, he had seen intrigues in the palace. There were too few people who were so straightforward and without any scheming. If he hadn't been watching over him in the past two years, this kid would have died a lot. I'm back.
Wu Ji glanced at Xiao Dongzi angrily and said:
"Okay, you can eat whatever you want."
Xiao Dongzi's eyes lit up when he heard this, he made a promise and opened the food box.
"Ah, father-in-law, look at this food box, there is gold."
Wuji was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then took a closer look into the food box. In addition to the pastries, there were ten gold ingots lying neatly in the food box.
Seeing this, Wuji touched his chin and said with a smile:
"Interesting, really interesting."
