Heroine: The beginning starts with gambling on the wife with two hundred kilograms of rubbish

"I don't know about this, so please get up."

The three of them stood up slowly, and the empress didn't seem to want to blame them.

"Song Tingran, I told the late Chen Xiangyin before that I want you to join the court as an official. Many of your ideas are very novel."

"Your Majesty, the common people don't have any great ambitions in this life. They just want to be able to farm and sell vegetables in the village with their families peacefully. This is what they want most. Other than joining the court and becoming an official, I don't even dare to think about it."

The empress smiled. She had never forced her before, and she would not do it today. She just said that the matter she proposed was a big project, and she would discuss it with all the officials before taking the best parts and implement it.

None of the three people asked for anything substantial, so the empress had someone deliver it to them.

After walking out of the palace, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke was very happy and had been waiting for the banquet.

Song Tingran was confused. There were too many people in the Duke's Mansion, big and small. It was almost dazzling. He finally understood why the Duke didn't remember his children.

After sitting down, Song Tingran was placed next to Chen Yuekui because he was from outside. At least he knew her well and wouldn't be too embarrassed.

"Sister Ran, look at our positions. We are so far forward. We have never been there before."

"Huh? You've been admitted as a scholar, but you can't do it?"

Chen Yuekui pointed to the three or four positions at the back, "Look, where I sat before, and before that, it was the last position."

Song Tingran looked over and couldn't see where the end was. The people in the lobby were all loved by the Duke, or they were respectable people like Chen Xiangyuan and Chen Yuekui, and the other people's positions were placed outside. .

Fortunately, it was at night and not exposed to the sun, so it was quite nice to eat while enjoying the breeze.

The master who delivered the decree in the palace came, and everyone knelt down to receive the decree. First, Chen Yuekui's reward was read out, and the matter of entering the palace to study with the princess and open the palace was explained clearly and highly praised.

This is what many children of palace ministers want, not only to receive a different education, but also to have a good relationship with the princess, and to please the empress.

The Duke is very happy that Chen Yuekui has earned her face. She has received this honor even before she is a hairpin, and her future is bright!

Then it was announced that Chen Xiangyuan's rewards were all requested by him. He was allowed to take care of the Moxiang Embroidery Workshop and pay special tribute to the palace every year. He was also given a waist badge, which allowed him to enter the palace to deliver goods at will.

And you can let him choose his own wedding leave!

The Duke did not expect that the empress would give Chen Xiangyuan such a big reward, and he could not hold back the smile on his face.

Because Song Tingran is here, there is no need to make another trip to other places.

The empress rewarded Song Tingran with some silver coins, silks, satin, jewelry and jades, which were rich and generous, but she had no intention of giving him an official position.

Until the announcement of the imperial edict was completed, everyone accepted the edict, and the Duke arranged for the adults who read the edict to stay and have wine.

"No, Your Majesty, I have to go back to pay my errands, so I won't bother you."

"Yes, don't delay, walk slowly."

The Duke of the State has great respect for the people around the empress. There is a reason why she has risen to prominence for so many years.

He even asked his cronies to deliver it, and gave him enough money to treat him to tea.

Sitting down again and starting the banquet, the Duke couldn't help but wonder.

The empress Mingming came to see her alone and discussed the reward in advance. She said she would give Song Tingran an official position, but it turned out to be gone.

Originally, she wanted to betroth Chen Xiangyuan to Song Tingran, but now the Duke has stopped thinking. She has to ask in private what is going on.

"Xiao Kui, you already have a separate residence before you have a hairpin. The empress also said that she will write a plaque for you. You must be grateful for the emperor's grace and bring glory to our Duke's palace."

"Yes, mother, Xiaokui happens to have something to ask mother."

Chen Yuekui's deliberately flattering and naughty words also made the Duke feel a sense of family affection.

"Tell me, no matter what happens today, I promise you."

"Thank you, mother!" Chen Yuekui thanked her first, and then said: "The empress gave me a reward, and I also want to repair the mansion a little bit, but I will go to the palace tomorrow to accompany my reading, and I can't take care of the repairs, so I want to Let dad go to my house and help."

When he finished speaking, the Duke was fine, but the face of the Duke's husband turned bad.

I want to go. If a big man like him goes, it will be the turn of a young man!

However, the Duke didn't say anything. He didn't dare to open his mouth and just stared secretly.

"Okay, go ahead. Your dad stays in the backyard all year round. It's good to go out for a walk. You can make arrangements during this time."

"Thank you, mother!"

Chen Yuekui stood up and bowed to thank him, and so did Chen Xiangyuan. After all, he could go to the house with his father tomorrow. There would be no annoying people, just their family.

"Thank you, my wife. Thank you, big brother." Chen Yuekui's father really cleared the clouds and saw the sunny sky. Tears filled his eyes immediately. After sitting down, he drank a glass of wine.

Because he didn't drink on weekdays, he coughed a few times after drinking. Fortunately, he was singing and dancing so no one noticed him.

"Master Wife, it's better for me to go. He is in his small yard, growing flowers and grass, and I'm afraid he doesn't know how to do anything else." The eldest husband of the Duke argued for himself.

The Duke of Guo thought for a while, "You reminded me, then let's change the courtyard. I remember that there is still an empty Zhaoyue Pavilion in the south, so..." The Duke of Guo paused, and she forgot for a moment. Chen Yuekui's father's name was difficult to say at this time, so he pointed directly at him and said: "Move there sometime. Zhaoyuexuan has good sunshine, and the flowers and plants will definitely be better."

Chen Yuekui's father stood up again to express his gratitude, while the Duke's husband said nothing and drank alone.

"Miss Song, I heard that you opened a restaurant and the business is very good. Please try to see if today's dishes are to your liking." The Duke of Guo also looked kindly towards Song Tingran.

Now in the entire Shengjing City and the entire imperial court, the Duke is the top leader. She has also conducted an investigation on Song Tingran in the past few days, and he is an available talent.

"Thank you, Lord Duke. It's very delicious."

"Okay, then eat more." The Duke drank a glass of wine and felt that the time was almost up. "By the way, Miss Song, you just entered the palace, and then the imperial edict arrived. Why didn't you ask the empress for a gift?" An official and a half-job?”

Song Tingran put down her chopsticks. The Duke's words also attracted the attention of many people here. In addition to Chen Yuekui's father's room, there were also people in other rooms in the Duke's mansion who were interested in her.

He overthrew the prime minister, purged the officialdom, was brave and resourceful, and was deeply loved by the empress. He was indeed a new member of the Fang Dynasty.

It would also be a good thing if someone from a certain house got married and entered the house.

"When I return to my country, my lord, I just want to farm and sell vegetables, and I have nothing else to ask for."

As soon as the words came out, the Duke's face darkened, and he couldn't calm down for a long time, but he smiled on his face.

This kind of person is a talent and is not suitable for officialdom. If he is willing to join one day, he will be more talented than a talent.
