Lin Jiuyue was puzzled and turned to look at Gu Chengyan.

When the emperor issued an edict, weren't the eunuchs in the palace the ones who delivered it? Why didn't this person's voice sound like that of a eunuch?

Gu Chengyan received Lin Jiuyue's puzzled look and nodded silently at Lin Jiuyue.

Seeing Gu Chengyan nod, Lin Jiuyue finally felt relieved.

"Lin Qiye accepted the order."

After saying that, Lin Qiye knelt down.

When Lin Jiuyue was hesitating whether to kneel down with them, Gu Chengyan pulled the corner of Lin Jiuyue's clothes.

Feeling Gu Chengyan's little movement, Lin Jiuyue knelt down reluctantly.

When the person delivering the imperial edict saw that everyone had knelt down, he opened the imperial edict in his hand and began to read it.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Yellow Emperor proclaims. Captain Lin Qiye of the Lin Thousand Household fought bravely to defend the country and successfully repelled the enemy. I am very pleased. I now promote the former Captain Lin Qiye to the rank of General of the Cavalry and grant him a mansion, 100 acres of fertile land, 100 taels of gold, and 30 slaves..."

Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue was very happy. She couldn't listen to the rest of the words anymore.

Qiye, this kid, has really made it big now. He went to the border and came back without any news. I thought I wouldn't get anything good this time, but I didn't expect that after so much time, he actually gave me a big surprise!

"I accept your order~"

Lin Qiye was also very excited.

The rank of General of the Cavalry was equivalent to a second-rank official position in this era. Although my position was a little lower than that of Brother Gu, it was only a little lower. If I worked hard, I might even be able to hold a higher position than Brother Gu in the future.

Although Lin Qiye thought so in his heart, he also understood that if he didn't have his sister's help and Brother Gu's special care, giving all the credit to him, he would never have been promoted so quickly. And he was promoted so high at one time.

"General Hussar, His Majesty has high expectations of you. Please don't let His Majesty down."

When Lin Jiuyue saw that the matter was finished, she hurried forward.

"My lords, you must have come all the way here. Please come into the courtyard and have a seat, drink some tea, and rest your feet."

When Xiyue heard what Lin Jiuyue said, she quietly returned to the kitchen and quickly made tea.

Xiyue invited everyone into the yard and had already prepared the tea.

While Lin Qiye was accompanying the person delivering the imperial edict, Lin Jiuyue went back to her room to prepare the "benefits".

He quietly handed the silver bag to the person who came to deliver the imperial edict, and the person then stood up and said goodbye.

After seeing off the imperial court officials, the villagers dared to approach the gate of Lin Jiuyue’s house.

"Lin family boy, your family is really prosperous now..."

"What Lin family kid? He is now a general of cavalry. General, do you understand? You can't call him Lin family kid anymore, or I will punish you for disrespect!"

When the villager who spoke first heard this, he quickly changed his words in a flattering manner.

"Yes, yes, now it's time to call him General of the Cavalry."

……

"Well, Miss Lin, are you going to move away? What about the rapeseed seedlings..."

It’s a good thing that Lin Qiye was promoted to General of Cavalry, but this good thing, after all, has little to do with these villagers.

But rapeseed seedlings are different, as they can bring real benefits. Naturally, the villagers are more concerned about rapeseed seedlings.

Lin Jiuyue also knew what the villagers were worried about.

"My fellow villagers, the emperor has graciously appointed Qiye as the General of the Cavalry, but I am still a villager of Shangbei Village. Don't worry about the rapeseed. Nothing I say goes unrecorded."

When the villagers heard Lin Jiuyue’s words, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The Lin family now has a general. I heard that the General of Cavalry is a second-rank official and can often see the emperor.

The villagers were all worried that the Lin family would become prosperous and abandon the little wealth in the village. Fortunately, Miss Lin still cared about the villagers.

"Miss Lin, it's good that you don't leave. It's good that you don't leave. Your family has such a big happy event. I'm sure you want to have a good time, haha, so we won't disturb you."

After the first villager started to flatter him, the rest of the villagers also started to flatter him.

Lin Jiuyue felt a little impatient, but these villagers were tactful and left after flattering her.

yard.

"Qi Ye, now that you have been promoted to General of the Cavalry, do you have to go to the palace to thank the emperor for his grace?"

Lin Qiye nodded.

"Um, what's wrong, sis?"

Lin Jiuyue shook his head.

"Nothing, just a little curious."

Lin Jiuyue has been here for more than a year. She has been to the capital, but as for the imperial palace, she has only seen it from afar. If Lin Jiuyue had not drunk too much spiritual spring water and her eyesight was much better than that of ordinary people, she probably wouldn't even be able to see what the palace gate looked like.

"Sister, do you want to go into the palace and take a look?"

Although Lin Jiuyue thought about it in her heart, she still said it against her will.

"No, the palace is full of intrigues and schemes. I have to be very careful when I walk, for fear of offending some 'noble'. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out if I go in."

If there were no imperial power, you could go and visit it.

"Sister, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I just went there to 'give thanks', not to fight in the palace..."

Before Lin Qiye could finish his words, Lin Jiuyue rolled his eyes.

"Do you think palace fighting is really just a women's thing? Men are just as good as women at playing tricks."

Gu Chengyan on the side nodded in agreement.

"Qi Ye, your sister is right. Now that you have been promoted to General of the Cavalry, there must be a lot of people watching you. You must be extremely careful in the future and never fall into other people's traps."

Although Gu Chengyan didn't stay in the capital often, he had heard about these things since he was a child.

When Lin Qiye heard Gu Chengyan say this, he nodded seriously.

"Sister, Brother Gu, don't worry, I will definitely be careful in the future."

Seeing that her brother looked so serious, Lin Jiuyue was afraid that he was under too much pressure, so she spoke.

"Actually, you don't have to feel too stressed. If you are not happy with your job, you can just retire! If that doesn't work, don't I still have a way out? Anyway, I won't let you die here."

Lin Qiye:......

Is my sister comforting herself or beating herself up?

Three days later.

Lin Qiye went to the capital to meet the emperor and thank him, and Lin Jiuyue also went with him. He also brought a lot of rapeseed oil to send to the Gu family.

As soon as the rapeseed oil was delivered to the Gu family, Mrs. Gu couldn't wait to ask the servants to use it to cook.

As soon as the dishes fried with rapeseed oil were served, Mrs. Gu tasted them.

"Jiuyue, is this the rapeseed oil you mentioned? The dishes cooked with it taste really good. How did you think of using rapeseed to make oil? You're so smart."
