Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The golden sun hangs high in the sky, shining warmly on people.

On the ground, the atmosphere in Pingnan Village was even more fiery.

The Cheng family did not hire a special cook for the banquet this time. It was impossible for the Cheng family to cook the dishes for twenty or thirty tables alone.

With a table of twelve dishes, Mrs. Lin found twelve households in Pingnan Village, mainly those who worked in the random building, and distributed the cooking work.

The Cheng family provides the raw materials, and the twelve families are responsible for making the food. After the banquet, the Cheng family will give each family two coins as a reward.

The twelve dishes were finished, and apart from steaming the steamed buns, the rest were all trivial tasks.

The Cheng family can handle it themselves.

Carrying water, chopping firewood, picking and washing vegetables, carrying tables, moving stools...

Except for the children, few villagers in Pingnan Village are idle.

Even those who had dinner at home at noon and did not partake in the banquet at Cheng Wan's house took the initiative to go to the twelve households responsible for cooking to see if they could help.

After all, my family has just received three kilograms of rice and one kilogram of meat for free, and the family has to eat a good meal for free at noon. Isn't it appropriate to help with some work?

As for going to the Cheng family to help, the villagers wanted to go. They also wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the Cheng family, but it was not their turn at all.

There are enough people to help the Cheng family.

Village Chief Jia and the others arrived not long after the Cheng family arrived home.

With Village Chief Jia and his gang here, Mrs. Lin and the others almost had no work to do.

At this time, the courtyard of Cheng Wan's house was even busier than outside.

"Ouch! I knew Wan was in trouble! Sister, you are so lucky! You actually have a granddaughter who is an official!"

"How can you be so capable?! He actually became an official! Oh my God! Even in Jiajia Village, no one in our village became an official!"

"Sister, how did you give birth to such a capable girl? Did you have any dreams when you were pregnant with her? It was like a ball of golden light fell into your belly?"

"Brother Daniel, you are really doing something great now! People say you have a son, you have a son! Good guy, your daughter is worth more than ten sons!"

"I dare not think about it! When I first heard about this last night, I thought it was a joke! Her sister-in-law, you don't know, I was so excited last night that I didn't sleep much!"

"Xiao Yu, is your eldest sister really an official? Then won't you be an official lady from now on?"

"..."

Cheng Wan had already changed into regular clothes when she got home. She walked through the courtyard carrying her things and didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed when she heard these words.

What's there to be embarrassed about?

She worked hard and endured pressure to become this official. In addition to realizing what she wanted, she also wanted to make her family live a good life so that they could straighten their backs and talk to others with confidence.

Besides...

Cheng Wan raised the corners of her lips and thought to herself: "Although nice words can easily make people lose themselves, but I have to say, these words sound really happy."

Cheng Wan warned herself: "Just for today, be happy when you are happy, and be proud when you are proud. After today, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, never forget your original intention, and be careful in everything..."

"Awan, are you going to the main room? Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat first. It will be some time before lunch."

"That's right, Ah Wan, if you are hungry, just tell us."

Mrs. Lin's opened mouth closed again, thinking: "Why are you trying to steal my words?"

Seeing that the women were about to get up and go to the kitchen, Cheng Wan quickly stopped them and said, "I'm not hungry, so you don't have to worry about me. I can't let myself be hungry at home."

"When you are tired, ladies and gentlemen, take a rest and have a cup of tea. There are many of us, so we don't have to work in a hurry."

The smiles on the faces of several women were closer than seeing their own children, and they responded repeatedly: "Hey! Okay! We understand, go and do your work! Business is important!"

When Cheng walked up the steps of the main room at night, several women kept sighing: "You are so sensible! Even though you are an official, you still have such a good attitude when talking to us mud-legged people! Did you hear that? She also made us tired. Let’s take a rest and have a cup of tea!”

"Who says it's not the case? Tsk, I don't know how this kid can be so good?"

Mrs. Lin, Wang and others: "..."

Although their Ah Wan is good, this praise is really an exaggeration.

In the main room, Village Chief Jia, Village Chief Wu, Mr. Fang, Peng Xiucai who rushed back from the city after receiving the letter yesterday, and several respected old men in the village are all there.

Mr. Fang and Peng Xiucai were talking to Village Chief Wu and others. When they saw Cheng Wan coming in, they stood up and saluted, "See Mr. Cheng."

The remaining Village Chief Jia had no idea of ​​this at first. When they saw Mr. Fang and Peng Xiucai salute, they hurriedly stood up, trying to imitate the two of them and salute Cheng Wan.

"No, no, no, no, what are you doing? Sit down quickly," Cheng Wan walked over quickly and asked several people to sit down.

Mr. Fang had a general understanding of Cheng Wan's character. He smiled cheerfully and said, "Etiquette cannot be broken." Then he sat down again.

Seeing this, Peng Xiucai also smiled slightly and sat down.

Cheng Wan saw Village Chief Jia and the others standing there not knowing what to do, and shook his head in confusion. He walked to Village Chief Jia and helped him sit down personally, "Today we won't talk about any false etiquette, we just have fun together." Lehe, whatever you were in the past, you can be whatever you are today."

Everyone sat down again and Cheng Wan unfolded the things in his hands, "This is the letter of appointment you want to see."

Several people knew the importance of the letter of appointment, but no one dared to touch it. They just got closer and read the words on it.

"Cheng Wan, a native of Pingnan Village, Shuonan County, Anling County, Liangzhou, will be appointed as Congshen of Xingnong Yamen, Liangzhou with immediate effect, ninth grade..." Mr. Fang finished reading word for word and said with emotion: "You are a He is capable, but His Highness Prince Rui has such a big heart and courage, which is really admirable."

Peng Xiucai stared at Cheng Wan's letter of appointment without blinking, feeling envy and...jealousy surging in his heart.

He has been studying for half his life, but he is just a scholar. He dreams of entering the officialdom and seeking an official position.

But this girl, how old is she? How many more books have you read? He was promoted to the ninth rank as a woman.

No one cared about his jealousy and unwillingness. Village Chief Jia, Village Chief Wu, and a few old men looked at Cheng Wan's letter of appointment and laughed so hard that their faces almost broke.

"Okay! Girl Wan, you have given face to the head of our Jiajia Village!"

Village Chief Wu glanced at Village Chief Jia, turned to Cheng Wan and smiled lovingly, "He also gave us the face of Village Chief Pingnan! We have all seen it, put it away quickly, and don't let anyone It’s broken.”

Cheng Wan smiled and responded, "Okay, I'll put it away and come back to talk to you."

Mr. Fang watched Cheng Wan go out, calmly approached Peng Xiucai, and said in a very low voice: "Don't look at this Master Cheng who was smiling and talking very well just now. She is not a soft persimmon. You must not Look down on her or show dissatisfaction or even jealousy towards her because of her age and womanhood. If you don’t believe me, I have to believe in Prince Rui. Do you think Prince Rui will appoint a teenage girl as an official at will?"
