As soon as these carriages turned into Kaoshan Village, they attracted the attention of the villagers.

It wasn't just the carriages at the back that were eye-catching. The most important thing was that, in addition to the officials leading the way in front, there were also several men sitting on tall horses at the back.

As soon as this group of people came in, they attracted everyone's attention.

Many villagers followed to watch the fun, and everyone was talking about it. A nosy woman said, "An official came in early this morning. If I'm right, he must be going to Dachun's mother's house."

"Yes, definitely!"

"Nowadays, the people who come to see Dachunniang are either rich or noble. We are lucky to have been blessed. We have never seen so many officials come to the village before."

"you do not say!"

The people in the carriage also heard what the villagers said.

Shen Ping guessed correctly. This was the eunuch Liang who was sent by the imperial court. A new emperor appoints new ministers. The previous eunuchs Gui and Lin had been sent to serve in other places.

Eunuch Liang drew aside the curtain and saw many villagers standing on the roadside to watch the spectacle, and many villagers were following the convoy.

Looking into the distance, he saw a green rice field swaying in the wind and the faint fragrance of rice flowers. Suddenly, Eunuch Liang was attracted by a figure in the fields in the distance.

That touch of deep purple is particularly eye-catching in the green rice fields. A woman with a high bun on her forehead is walking on the ridge of the field with her trouser legs rolled up.

Although they were far apart, Eunuch Liang, with his keen observation, felt that this woman's temperament was very different from the people around her. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "Could this be the Yu Ruren I'm looking for?"

Just as Eunuch Liang was thinking about this, he suddenly heard Captain Li speaking from the front: "Oh! Isn't that Madam Shen? Why are you in the field?

Look at how dirty your clothes are. The emperor has sent eunuch Liang to announce the emperor's decree. You should go back and comb your hair and wait for the emperor's decree!"

"Oh! All right!" Shen Ping laughed and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Captain Li, my clothes are very dirty. You take the imperial envoy back to the main hall and sit down. I'll take a bath and change clothes. I'll be back soon!" After saying that, he brushed off the mud on his trouser legs and walked back first.

This imperial envoy was announcing the emperor's decree, but his trouser legs were stuck with mud and he was dirty all over. This was a great disrespect to the emperor.

As far as she knew, in ancient times, before the emperor read out the imperial edict, everyone had to bathe, burn incense, and change clothes. If anyone dared to be disheveled, they would be punished by the emperor.

She couldn't allow anyone to catch her and accuse her of being disrespectful to the emperor.

When the villagers heard this, they were immediately furious again. You have another imperial envoy coming to read the imperial edict, Dachun Niang, what good news is this?

The villagers who were keen on doing good things spontaneously went and told the village chief.

"I didn't expect that I would guess it right. This is indeed Shen Ping." Eunuch Liang raised the corner of his mouth. This Mrs. Yu is really not like an ordinary person. She has a noble air.

Although he knew that Mrs. Yu was a village woman, as far as he knew, Shen Ping was granted a title by the emperor and rewarded with a lot of gold, so why did she do everything herself?

Dadong also ran back quickly and told his wife Honggu that the imperial envoy had arrived and to make other preparations.

Because she had received the imperial envoy before, Hong Gu had experience. In addition, Shen Ping had told her about this matter a few days ago, so she was well prepared and was not caught off guard.

When Shen Ping got home, she told Hong Gu to entertain the imperial envoy well, and then she went into the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.

Just a while after Shen Ping arrived home, Eunuch Liang and others also arrived at the Zhang family mansion.

Looking at the four mansions in front of him, Eunuch Liang could only describe his shock. These four mansions were built halfway up the mountain and surrounded by walls.

The house is located on a high vantage point, with a panoramic view of the entire Kaoshan Village. The front yard alone is particularly spacious, with flowers planted by the yard. When a breeze blows, Eunuch Liang can faintly smell the fragrance of flowers.

In addition, there was a vegetable garden where various unknown vegetables were planted. Even Eunuch Liang was amazed because these vegetables were not available in the palace.

Eunuch Liang immediately became curious about Shen Ping. He had heard that Shen Ping could call the wind and rain, and prayed for rain during droughts, and it actually worked. For this reason, the late emperor specially bestowed the title of Yu Ru Ren on her.

Not only that, according to rumors, Shen Ping is also a skilled businessman who specializes in rouge and powder business. He has long been curious about Shen Ping.

I didn't expect that I would have such an opportunity to meet her now. In just half a year, she was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank. It seems that Madam Shen will achieve great things in the future.

Besides, she is the prince's savior, so it would be nice to have some relationship with her.

Here, Shen Ping entered the space in the bathroom and took a comfortable bath. After soaking for a while, her pores opened and some impurities were washed out, and she felt refreshed immediately.

Shen Ping did not dare to delay. After coming out, she asked Cuihua to comb her hair into a bun, put on the hairpin given by the late emperor, and then put on the Yu Ruren dress and put on some light makeup.

Suddenly, Shen Ping in the mirror seemed like a different person. Although she was over 40, she had fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. Putting on the Yu Ruren dress, she looked very noble.

Cuihua couldn't help but stare at her in amazement: "Madam, you are so beautiful." Then, Cuihua frowned and shook her head: "No! Not only beautiful, but also very noble."

Shen Ping covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Where did you learn this, girl? Your mouth looks like it's covered with honey today."

Cuihua said seriously: "Madam, what I said is true."

As he was speaking, Guihua came to urge him, but before he arrived, he said, "Madam, the imperial envoy said that he wants you to go over and receive the decree."

As soon as she finished speaking, Guihua was stunned by Shen Ping when she entered the room. She looked Shen Ping up and down with wide eyes.

Cuihua laughed at the side: "Madam, look, Guihua is dumbfounded when she sees you."

Guihua continued: "Madam is really beautiful, usually beautiful too, but not as stunning as today!"

"That's it!" Shen Ping touched the pearl hairpin on her head: "You don't know that this dress and the pearl hairpin on the head are all rewards from the late emperor. This outfit alone is worth a lot of money.

"Okay! We should go over now, otherwise the imperial envoy will get impatient and he will say we are being slow." Shen Ping stood up slowly.

Not only did they both feel different, Shen Ping herself also felt that when she put on this dress with a pearl hairpin and step-shake in her hair, her whole aura felt stronger.

Shen Ping clasped her hands in front of her chest, held her head high, and walked into the main room with neither arrogance nor servility.

Magistrate Zhang sat on the right, while Constable Li and a soldier stood beside him.

What surprised Shen Ping was that the imperial envoy who came this time was not the two eunuchs Gui and Lin who came last time.

Instead, he was a handsome middle-aged man with fair skin and no stubble. I guess he should be a eunuch.

He looked younger than the previous two eunuchs, and there were five or six tall and burly men standing next to him. These men should be guards who escorted this eunuch here.
