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

On the first floor of Suiyilou, all the guests have left, but it is still very lively.

The Cheng family members were those who worked and earned wages in Suiyi Building. Among Xu Zhinian's family, only Xu Zhuocheng was absent because he was on duty, and there were Lin Gouwa and Chen Changtong who came back with Cheng Wan.

Everyone put the food and drinks they had ordered from other restaurants on the table and chatted animatedly, creating an atmosphere that was comparable to that of the Chinese New Year.

Cheng Wan held Gu Yu's little hand and stared at the baby in Xiao Lin's arms, with an unconscious aunt's smile on her face.

"Second Aunt, what's her name?"

"Your nickname is An An, but your uncle and I want you to choose your full name."

Mrs. Xiaolin exudes the aura of a loving mother, and the way she looks at Cheng Wan is as gentle as the way she looks at a baby.

"I take it?"

Cheng Wan opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

Xiao Lin nodded as a matter of course: "You are the most capable in our family, so you are the most suitable one."

Cheng Wan blinked: "Grandma, you have no objection?"

"No? It was your grandma who first suggested it. She said she wanted to learn from your ability and hoped that she would be more capable in the future so that she could live a more comfortable life."

"Then you have to think about it carefully, and don't be perfunctory."

Xu Zhinian stood close to Cheng Wan and teased with a smile.

Cheng Wan stroked his chin, thinking: "I need to think about it carefully..."

"Stop chatting and come over to eat!"

"coming!"

Cheng Wan responded loudly, then touched the child's face with a smile: "Eat first, and think about it after you are full."

"Oh, but we're here at a bad time?"

A sudden sound caught everyone's attention.

"Eunuch Miao?"

Cheng Wan handed Gu Yu to Xu Zhinian and hurried out to meet him.

"Eunuch Miao, why are you here? What trouble did you encounter?"

Xiao Miaozi smiled and shook his head slightly.

Cheng Wan looked at Xiao Miaozi, then at the two soldiers behind Xiao Miaozi, each holding a gong, and didn't understand what was going on.

Cheng Wan looked back and saw that there were more soldiers behind the two soldiers holding gongs.

The soldier behind seemed to be holding something.

"Jinjin, what are they holding?"

Cheng Wan had a hunch that it should be a reward for her.

"It's something the master likes."

Hey, Jin Jin has learned to keep people in suspense.

Old Mrs. Lin and others came over nervously, afraid that Cheng Wan would be called away again.

Cheng Xiaoyu, in particular, secretly clutched the clothes on Cheng Wan's back.

Xiao Miaozi opened the axle in his hand, and at the same time, the soldiers behind him struck the gong.

Only then did Cheng Wan discover that the wooden hammer used by the soldier to strike the gong was wrapped in red cloth.

The gong sounds were dense and sonorous, attracting many pedestrians on the road.

The gong stopped, and Xiao Miaozi finally took out the bright yellow imperial edict from the axle: "Cheng Wan, accept the edict!"

Cheng Wan's eyes widened in astonishment, and then he knelt on the ground without saying a word. At the same time, he turned his head slightly and whispered to Cheng Xiaoyu and others behind him: "Kneel down, don't look up!"

Cheng Xiaoyu and the others felt nervous and knelt down firmly.

The people in Suiyi Building knelt down, and the people outside Suiyi Building also knelt down together.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Here is a loyal and upright minister, Cheng Wan, who has extraordinary talents and has made many extraordinary achievements. He is truly fortunate for me and the people. I am very pleased and appreciate his loyalty and diligence. I have specially conferred Cheng Wan the title of Marquis, and added the title of Zhaoping, with a thousand households of food and land, which has been passed down for three generations, as a reward for his meritorious service. I have also granted him a golden seal and purple ribbon to show his nobility, and a Marquis's mansion in the capital, two manors, and a number of gold, silver, and jewelry to show my favor. I hope that Marquis Zhaoping, after receiving this title, will work harder and make new achievements.

In addition, women are honored because they are daughters. Wang, the mother of Marquis Zhaoping, was chaste and virtuous, and made great contributions to educating her daughter, so she could be granted the title of a third-rank lady of virtue. Lin, the grandmother of Marquis Zhaoping, was good at managing the household, honest and amiable, and was also granted the title of a third-rank lady of virtue.

Admire this! "

"Thank you, Lord. Long live the Emperor!"

Cheng Wan's kowtow couldn't be more sincere.

She was wrong. She shouldn't have complained about the emperor. The emperor was really willing to reward those who had made contributions.

The emperor is a generous and good emperor!

"Thank you, Lord. Long live the Emperor!"

……

The voices of thanks from Old Lady Lin and others could be heard sporadically.

There's no way. This is my first time receiving an imperial edict and I have no experience.

Even this sentence was learned temporarily from Cheng Wan.

Moreover, except Xu Zhinian and her daughter who understood the meaning of every word of the imperial edict, Old Lady Lin and others were completely dumbfounded and confused.

"Marquis Zhaoping, please accept the order."

Cheng Wan stood up from the ground, bent forward, and raised his hands.

Xiao Miaozi placed the imperial edict in Cheng Wan's hand.

Old Mrs. Lin and the others looked at each other with the same dull and bewildered faces, not knowing whether they should stand up or not.

However, when the people outside saw Cheng Wan receive the imperial edict, they all stood up.

Xu Zhinian and her mother Mao Ruochun were also a little confused. To be honest, it was the first time for them to kneel down to receive an imperial edict and the first time to experience such a scene.

It was Xiao Miaozi who saw that Old Lady Lin and the others were at a loss, and took the initiative to smile at Old Lady Lin and Wang: "Lady Shu, Lady Shu, please stand up."

"Ah? Oh, okay."

Old Lady Lin and Mrs. Wang didn't understand what Xiao Miaozi meant by "Tai Shu Ren" and "Shu Ren". Now, except for Cheng Wan who was trying hard to stay calm, everyone else's brains were almost on strike.

Cheng Daniu and others saw Old Lady Lin and Mrs. Wang standing up, and then they followed their example and stood up.

"My Lord, this is your golden seal and purple ribbon."

Cheng Wan respectfully placed the imperial edict in Cheng Daniu's hand: "Dad, take it!"

If she fails to do it well, this newly minted marquis will have to be retrained immediately.

Cheng Daniu's mind went blank and his body was stiff, not daring to move.

Cheng Wan made sure that the imperial edict was firmly in Cheng Daniu's hand before turning around and taking the tray with the gold seal and purple ribbon on it with both hands. He also took the scroll that Xiao Miaozi had placed on the tray to hold the imperial edict.

Xiao Miaozi looked at Old Lady Lin and Wang and said, "Lady Shu, Lady Shu, please keep your imperial crowns and robes."

Four soldiers came forward, two of them carrying an opened mahogany carved box.

The exquisite and luxurious imperial crown inside is extremely eye-catching.

Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang didn't even dare to look at it, and their legs even went weak and they knelt down on the spot.

Old Lady Lin's mind suddenly jumped, and she instinctively kowtowed, shouting loudly: "Long live the emperor!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Wang had no idea what she was saying. She saw Old Lady Lin kowtow, so she kowtowed too. She heard Old Man Lin shout, so she shouted too.

Cheng Wan gave a thumbs up to Old Lady Lin and Wang in his heart.

What a great performance!

Look at this awareness, she is worthy of being her wet nurse.

Xiao Miaozi was also very satisfied, and the smile on his face deepened: "Shuren, Shuren, get up quickly."

Old Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Wang were helped up by Cheng Xiaogu and Mao Ruochun respectively. With the support of Cheng Xiaogu and Mao Ruochun, they tried to prop up their still weak legs.

"My Lord, the title deed and the gold, silver and jewels awarded to your manor will all be placed in your mansion. They will not be brought to Liangzhou this time."

"I understand."

When he said this, Cheng Wan's toes moved awkwardly.

Don't panic, she can do it.

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

Cheng Wan handed the tray in her hand to Cheng Xiaoyu, who was closest to her, and moved closer to Xiao Miaozi, and "secretly" stuffed a banknote into Xiao Miaozi's hand: "Thank you for your help, Eunuch Miao."

Xiao Miaozi and Cheng Wan looked at each other tacitly.

"You don't have to send me off, my Lord. It's a great occasion, so we should celebrate it properly. As for the errand, I will keep a close eye on it."

The person who came to announce the imperial edict left.

The people in the city who were quiet outside but almost popping their eyes out finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then all turned their eyes to Cheng Wan.
