Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao smiled and said, "I know, look at this, their car and horse fee is one more than that of the Duke of Pi."

Man Bao opened his purse and gave it to Liu Sanniang.

Liu Sanniang did not refuse, but kept it in her purse.

Man Bao got on the carriage, returned to the side door of Zhou's house, and took out a silver horn to the coachman, "Send Sanniang back to the palace."

The driver didn't want to accept it, so Man Bao smiled and said, "Take it, I have a happy event today, so I will treat it as happy money."

When the driver heard this, he immediately accepted the money, and smiled and saluted Man Bao, "Congratulations, sir, Gao Sheng."

Obviously, almost everything in the palace knew about the matter of the morning.

Man Bao smiled and nodded, letting him and Liu Sanniang leave.

Man Bao and Imperial Physician Zheng had said that they could enter the palace again tomorrow, but Liu Sanniang obviously couldn't, she still had to work.

Watching their carriage go away, Man Bao turned around, and the doorman who had opened the door long ago immediately stepped forward to help Man Bao carry the medicine box, "Miss Man, Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, and Grandma Zhou and the others. They're all at home."

In the past, the side door of Zhou's house was closed. Mrs. Liu considered that the side door from this side was the house where the Zhou family lived. She was afraid that the doorman would not be strict with the outside, so the doorman was always guarded inside, and people outside knocked on the door. only to know.

But since the concierge was punished by Bai Shan last time, the concierge has changed. Mrs. Liu chose three people with stricter mouths to guard the side door together. Like a concierge, he sat on the threshold and watched the people coming and going on the street, so that now the Zhou family even knew how many times a day the Du family next door went out.

As soon as Man Bao entered the door, Lao Zhoutou, who was sitting not far from the courtyard gate, met her eyes. He immediately put down the cigarette stick, ran up and asked, "Why are you back at this time?"

Man Bao looked up at the position of the sun, knowing that the person notified in the palace should not have arrived yet, so he said, "Father, there is a happy event in our family today."

Old Zhoutou, "Are you promoted again?"

Man Bao: "...It's not even a promotion."

"Oh," the voice raised by the old Zhou's head fell, and he said with some disappointment: "Is that the emperor gave a reward again?"

"Dad, you know a lot."

The old Zhoutou said proudly: "That's right, this is what your grandmother Liu said. She said that you have made a great contribution this time, and let us make preparations in advance. I thought you were going to be promoted again. Thinking that if you divide the fields again, can you choose a place nearer, then we can grow vegetables easily..."

"Although I didn't get promoted, I was knighted,"

Old Zhou Tou couldn't understand, "What is it?"

"Miss Man, someone is coming from the palace." Before Man Bao could explain, the concierge who was guarding the side door hurried over.

A little maid came in behind him, saw Zhou Man standing with a medicine box, and smiled: "Master Zhou is also at home, that's fine, the imperial edict will arrive in a quarter of an hour, you prepare."

Man Bao politely responded and asked the concierge to inform the steward to open the door.

Then she took her father back to prepare to receive the order, "Bring my mother too, and quickly prepare the things to receive the order."

It is not the first time that the old Zhou family has received the decree, and they are still very experienced. The old Zhoutou didn't have time to ask what the decree was, so he was busy preparing the incense case with the Qian family. When they were ready, the person who announced the decree arrived.

This time, it was the officials of the Ministry of Rites who announced the decree, only followed by the inner servants.

The other party was not familiar with Zhou Man, but he was still polite to Zhou Man. After smiling at Zhou Man, he began to read the imperial edict.

Man Bao led the old Zhou family to kneel and listen to the decree, and read the long passage. Except for Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu, who were at home with Man Bao and Xiu Mu, no one could understand the meaning of the imperial decree.

"...Wen Zhenggongliang, honking and disciplined, etiquette and etiquette, benevolent, humble and obedient, and meritorious to the country. Now he is consecrated as a holy metaphor and canonized as the owner of Liyang Township..."

Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu stayed for a while, but the imperial decree was not over yet, and continued to read: "Jing and awarding virtuous workers is a classic of the imperial court; to show kinship, and also to love the sons of man... Zhou Jin is the editor of the Chongwen Museum and the imperial physician of the imperial hospital. Zhou Manzhi's adoptive father, benevolent, charitable, and conscientious with others...Zite was named a political doctor, which greatly increased the light of the forest and gully, and enjoyed the joy of mulberry and elm."

This time, Chang Manbao was stunned. She looked up at the officials of the Ministry of Rites in surprise, so this was the main reason why the officials of the Ministry of Rites came to announce the decree?

But it wasn't over yet, the person holding the imperial edict paused, swallowed, and continued: "Mother's hard work, righteousness and truth are both educational; favored by the imperial court, etiquette is more important than honor... Qian's family is the Chongwen Museum. The adoptive mother of Zhou Manzhi, the editor and the imperial physician of the Taiyuan Hospital, Huilang knows righteousness, and is courteous and respectful...Zite was named the ruler of Luojiang County, and he was crowned with the glory of the crown, showing the family style forever."

With hot tears in his eyes, Man Bao respectfully kowtowed to the imperial decree with a particularly loud head, and said sincerely, "Chen, thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

The decree closed the imperial decree with a smile, put both hands in Zhou Man's hands, and said with a smile, "Master Zhou, congratulations."

He bowed to the old Zhou Tou, who didn't understand what happened, and called out, "Doctor Zhou, come back and ask for a glass of water and wine."

Man Bao immediately said: "I will go to the Ministry of Rites to send an invitation when I turn around."

When the declarant heard this, he burst out laughing and complied.

Man Bao only prepared a purse, but it was obviously not enough. Fortunately, Zhou Lixue and Zhou Ligu were clever and had already quietly retreated, pulling Xiao Qian directly away, and whispered, "Mother, we need to seal two more. Red envelopes, and copper coins, take out as many coins as you have at home, and people outside will give them a few strings later."

Little Qian: "...give so much?"

"Oh, mother, this is not just an imperial decree, there are three people sealed on it."

Xiao Qian was at a loss, but she still took her son to get the money. Just as Man Bao was talking, they took a bag of money to share.

The servants and guards who came along also just declined and stuffed them into their arms. This is happy money, and it would be bad if you don't take it.

Everyone left happily.

Only then did the old Zhoutou speak, "Has this grown-up been drinking, why are you calling the doctor at me?"

Zhou Lixue: "Grandpa, His Majesty just appointed you to be a political doctor."

Old Zhou's heart trembled and he was a little scared, "What, what is this for? No wonder I seem to have heard my name just now."

Man Bao immediately reassured him, "Father, this is Enyin, just a title."

Zhou Lixue had already shouted: "Grandpa, didn't I often say that I would become an official and earn a letter for my mother in the future? This is a letter. You were enshrined by the little aunt and became a political doctor, and you will be a person of rank in the future, see you. The county magistrate doesn't have to kneel, and people will call you your master."

Old Zhou Tou widened his eyes in surprise, and felt a little dizzy. After a long while, he swallowed and asked, "Why, why is it me? What about your mother?"
