After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Near noon, the Li family officially started their banquet. This time, not only the chef from Yuelaiju came to help, but also the chef from the Li family's cafeteria came to help.

Between changing cups and cups, everyone inevitably brags.

Just when everyone was enjoying themselves, the concierge suddenly ran in in a panic and said to Yan Qingqing: "Husband, madam, the imperial edict has arrived."

When everyone heard that the imperial edict had arrived, they were so frightened that they dared not speak. No one knew whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that the edict came at this time.

Moreover, except for Magistrate Ling, no one here has accepted the imperial edict.

Yan Qingqing was a little confused at first, but soon figured out that it shouldn't be a bad thing.

So he ordered Li Xiangping in an orderly manner: "Boss, set up an incense table to welcome the imperial edict."

The imperial edict had arrived and it was too late to bathe and change clothes. After hearing this, Li Xiangping nodded quickly and went to prepare.

None of these guests left. They also wanted to see the people coming to the palace and see what the imperial edict looked like. They would also have bragging rights in the future.

Soon Li Xiangping prepared the incense case, and Yan Qingqing asked the palace messenger to come in.

Soon a fair-faced and beardless palace servant walked in with a whisk in hand and holding the imperial edict high.

This palace man is much younger than Eunuch Xiang, who came to deliver the edict last time.

Behind him was a group of guards with swords, each with a strong aura, and they looked like royal guards at first glance.

Yan Qingqing quickly walked forward with Li Xiangping and said, "Angels have been working hard all the way. Please take a seat. What do you call angels?"

Seeing Yan Qingqing speak so politely, the father-in-law replied with a smile on his face: "Mingzhao is very polite. My surname is Yue, and my single name is Yuanzi. You can just call me Yuanzi. Our family is managed by Mr. Xiang." Great disciple.

I heard the master talk about Mingzhao with great praise, and it was really extraordinary when I saw it today. "

After hearing this, Yan Qingqing suddenly understood. It turned out that this little father-in-law was the apprentice of Eunuch Xiang, but she was not arrogant enough to call him Xiaoyuanzi.

So he still politely exchanged a few words with his father-in-law.

Seeing that it was getting late and Ming Zhaoren's family was obviously celebrating a happy event, the father-in-law said, "Let's read out the imperial edict first, so as not to miss the auspicious time."

Yan Qingqing is naturally willing, after all, there are such a large courtyard of guests waiting.

Upon seeing this, the father-in-law spread out his hands and shouted: "I'm going to accept the imperial edict clearly!"

Not only Yan Qingqing, but also all the guests present knelt down quickly. The scene was quite spectacular.

Immediately afterwards, the sharp voice of the father-in-law rang out: "By God's destiny, the emperor called.

I hereby inherit the precious destiny and show you the grand plan. I am very relieved to find a loyal minister with both ability and political integrity.

Ming Zhao asked people to cultivate high-yielding crops and relieve the people from poverty.

Later, cotton was discovered, and the beauty and wisdom saved the soldiers on the frontier from the bitter cold, which was a lasting contribution.

Today, the special Jin Dynasty granted him the title of Ming Zhaoshuo, with a third rank title. Admire this! "

Yan Qingqing was shocked. Has she been promoted again? Now she is a fourth-grade Ming Zhaoshuo. No, it should be third-grade. The emperor gave her a third-grade title.

This emperor is really generous. This handsome man is obviously a fourth-grade person, but the emperor actually gave her a third-grade title.

This means that even if she sees a third-grade official in the future, she will not have to kneel down and salute.

After announcing the imperial edict of the Jin Dynasty, the father-in-law said with a smile: "Ming Zhaoshuo, please accept the edict and thank me."

Yan Qingqing took the imperial edict with both hands and shouted: "Long live my emperor."

Li Xiangping on the side quickly helped Yan Qingqing up.

The father-in-law smiled and said to Yan Qingqing: "Congratulations to Ming Zhaoshuo, congratulations to Ming Zhaoshuo. The emperor has great expectations for Shuo.

I hope that Shuo Ren can continue to serve our Dayan and make great achievements again. "

Yan Qingqing held the imperial edict in her hand and replied with a smile: "Please rest assured, Eunuch-in-law, I will eat your salary and share your worries.

I will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations. "

The father-in-law smiled even more kindly when he heard this, and then took out a gift list from his sleeve and said, "This is the emperor's reward for Ming Zhaoshuo. Please take a look."

Yan Qingqing became even more happy when she heard that there was something substantial.

Then she opened the gift list and looked at it. It was full of silks, silks, gold, silver and jewelry. In the end, she was given a mansion, but the mansion was far away from the capital and she couldn't live in it for the time being.

However, it is not easy to own a big house in a place where land is very valuable in the capital. Even if she can't use it now, she will one day use it.

Eunuch-in-law and the others were still there, but Yan Qingqing was not immersed in joy. Instead, she put away the gift list and smiled at Eunuch-in-law: "Today is my grandson's full moon banquet. Eunuch-in-law and you all, if you don't mind, please invite me." Let’s have a drink.”

When the father-in-law heard this, he smiled and said: "Ming Zhaoshuo, it's not that our family doesn't give you face, but that our family has to go to the capital to deliver the decree. We can't waste time at this time.

With Ming Zhaoren's intelligence and contribution, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again in the future. "

Yan Qingqing had no choice but to give up after hearing this, and instead ordered Ruyi on the side to bring the newly made beef jerky in the kitchen to her father-in-law and others to make dry food.

Soon Ruyi filled a full box. The father-in-law opened it and took a look at it and said with a smile: "Ming Zhaoshuo is interested, we will say goodbye now."

Yan Qingqing personally sent Eunuch-in-law and the others outside the gate.

After sending her father-in-law away, Yan Qingqing glanced at Ruyi. Ruyi nodded and gave her an affirmative look, then stretched out two fingers.

Yan Qingqing knew that Ruyi was good at getting things done. She couldn't stuff her father-in-law's wallet in public, so she could only put 2000 taels of silver notes in the box under the pretense of sending beef jerky.

Yan Qingqing is really not short of this little money now. Besides, she has come all the way from the capital, so she should express her gratitude.

After Eunuch Yue and others left, he strictly ordered Ruyi to take Ada and others to the backyard to count the emperor's rewards.

He himself dealt with the congratulatory guests.

Magistrate Ling took the lead and said, "Congratulations to Mr. Ming Zhaoshuo. Today is a double happiness!"

After hearing what Magistrate Ling said, Yan Qingqing smiled and replied: "Thanks to Magistrate Ling for this time."

Yan Qingqing was telling the truth. She really couldn't report the discovery and use of cotton herself, otherwise even if the emperor rewarded her, he wouldn't reward her so generously.

But the effect of Ling County Magistrate's discount is different.

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Ling snorted coldly and said: "I am not doing this all for you. After all, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, and it is also a significant milestone in my political career."

Ling Ziyuan's words were indeed true, so the two of them stopped being humble.

Yan Qingqing turned to meet other congratulators.

The Li family's banquet came to an end after a lively day.

After seeing off the guests, the family had time to gather together to congratulate Yan Qingqing.
