Chapter 255: Command

"Fengtian carries the emperor's system and says: ...... Benevolence and Jiashu, hanging jade pots to help the people...... Huixin orchid quality, solve the worries of the surname Li Min...... Awarded Yang's Begonia Three Lady ......"

Qiu Chen knelt in the middle of the courtyard with Ah Fu Aman, and the voice of the angel above came down without hurrying or suppressing the frustration, and she sounded very difficult in the ornate and regular part, but she clearly heard the sentence "Grant Yang's Begonia Three Grades of Lady", and she was vague in her heart, she earned a grade? Sanpin...... It's time to catch up with Yun Yizhou's newly promoted level. Of course, people have real power, she is just a name, and she has no real power!

That's good, that's good!

Qiu Chen, who had never paid much attention to the holy decree, also felt a little happy, and respectfully took the children to kowtow, thanked him, and then straightened up and took the five-colored brocade scroll with both hands. Yufeng and the others, who were kneeling behind, hurriedly got up and stepped forward, receiving the clothes of the three ladies and the golden book and jade seal, and the Qingshan family of the Daxing family hurriedly stepped forward to help Qiu Chen and the children up.

Wu Yunqiao walked out from behind the angel, and congratulated Qiu Chen with a slight surprise on his face: "Congratulations to Qiu Xian...... Uh, Shuren Yang, congratulations! Congratulations! ”

Qiu Chen bowed generously and said with a smile: "I also want to congratulate Lord Wu...... Hehe, if Lord Wu doesn't dislike it, I'd rather ask Lord Wu to call Mr. Qiu! ”

Wu Yunqiao, who said a word, also suddenly laughed, and said again and again: "It should be, it should be, speaking of which, Mr. Qiu's life was also saved by Mr. Qiu." ”

These words were a bit heavy, Qiu Chen hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Lord Wu doesn't dare to bear this." ”

and said simply: "There is only one uncle in my family, and I don't see Lord Wu, so a few adults will entrust Lord Wu to take care of it." ”

Wu Yunqiao responded continuously.

The angel Guo Gonggong in the capital was surprised, and the Anping County Commander who followed him explained in a low voice: "At the beginning, Yang Shuren entered Qinghe County in men's clothes to treat the epidemic, and Lord Wu was the Qinghe County Commander. ”

I see, Guo Gonggong was stunned. Once again, his eyes carefully looked at this woman who didn't seem to be too outstanding, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised and ...... admiration, such a soft and weak young woman, when the plague that was fierce as the tiger and wolf was approaching, did not avoid the disaster, but ventured into the epidemic area to prevent the plague and save the lives of hundreds of people...... This courage and courage really embarrassed countless men with eyebrows.

Also, if you don't have this courage and ability, you won't be able to earn this credit, and you won't be able to get the emperor's blue eyes and praise...... Tsk, an ordinary woman, was awarded the title of a third-grade lady at once...... Such an honor, not to mention the Invesco period, even during the reign of Taizu Taizong, or even the previous dynasty, I am afraid that there is no such precedent.

Wu Yunqiao was very conscientious, and after being entrusted by Qiu Chen, he took up the responsibility of the master, and together with Lin Xu, who was happy, let the angel who announced the decree go to the hall.

Qiu Chen had already handed over the edict in his hand to the Qingshan family, and he smiled and bent his knees, inviting all the adults to go to the main house.

Entering the door of the house and seeing the imperial book plaque on the main hall, Guo Gonggong and Wu Yunqiao were slightly surprised, and they didn't dare to hold it up, so they respectfully bowed in front of the imperial pen plaque.

Getting up again but not daring to take a seat in the hall, Qiu Chen hurriedly signaled Lin Xu and let the group enter the east room and take a seat.

Qiu Chen followed up, watched the girls bring refreshments, settled them, served tea slightly, and then said goodbye and turned back to the backyard.

In the main hall of the backyard, the edict was shocked and confessed in the middle of the case, and her lady's clothes and gold books and jade seals were also placed on the table in the hall. Qiu Chen shook his head helplessly, at this moment, this thing can only be placed here, and when the angels and adults who issued the decree are sent away, the clothes and the jade seal and gold book can naturally be put away, and the edict will be sent to the east room with the holy decree in front of it.

When the children came back, they had already cleaned up the dust on their bodies, took off their coats, and played on the kang with only cotton jackets and pants. Qiu Chen said hello to the children, went into the ear room to wash and clean up a little, and then turned out, the news came back from the front yard, the angel promised to stay for dinner, Qiu Chen was slightly surprised, but he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly handed over the children to the Liu and Zhao families to take care of, and he took Yufeng and Qingxing and hurried to the backyard.

The ingredients were prepared before, and the clear soup and the like were also read, Qiu Chen entered the kitchen, but he set the recipe, and he didn't do any knife work or flower work, but carefully set four cold dishes, six hot dishes, two stews, two small pots, and the most staple food chicken fat rolls and multigrain small nests.

I ordered Pan Jiaqing and Mr. Ding, Mr. Yuan to accompany Lin Xu and Yang Shumeng.

Coming out of the kitchen, Qiu Chen glanced at the kiln room in the backyard...... Qin Zheng didn't want to show his face in front of people today, so he entered the kiln room early in the morning...... Although his wounds have healed, it is not good to stay in front of the hot stove for long...... Thinking so, Qiu Chen asked Yufeng and Qingxing to keep an eye in the kitchen, deliver the dishes as soon as possible, and then walked towards the kiln room by himself.

Qin Yi and Qin Li were standing at the door of the kiln room, and when they saw Qiu Chen coming over, they all bowed down with a smile and congratulated: "Congratulations to the lady, congratulations to the lady!" ”

Qiu Chen couldn't help laughing, "Don't say hello to your brothers, I can't take care of you at this time, I'll make a table of good dishes with my own hands to thank you!" ”

Qin Li was the most lively, and immediately smiled: "Where do you dare to bother Mrs. to cook herself...... However, the boiled fish made by Madame is really delicious! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Qin Yi couldn't help laughing.

After laughing a few words, Qin Yi stepped forward to open the door, invited Qiu Chen into the house, and closed the door casually.

In the house, the fire was blazing, Qin Zheng was wearing a black robe, the hem of his clothes was tucked up at his waist, his sleeves were also rolled up, he was wearing thick operating gloves on his hands, holding a large iron scissors, and he was staring intently at the glass embryo that Jia Liang was firing in the furnace.

Qiu Chen didn't make a sound, slowly walked a few steps inside, and stood still behind Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng, who was originally engrossed, turned his head and smiled at her, then turned his head and continued to look at the stove.

Just smiled slightly, but it made Qiu Chen shake for a while...... In a blink of an eye, coming back to his senses, Qiu Chen couldn't help but pouted at Gao Ting's back, isn't it just good-looking, what a smile!

"Heh......" A chuckle came, Qiu Chen's face turned red, and he was caught making small movements behind people's backs!

"Hmph, what are you laughing at!" Qiu Chen replied in a low voice, hung his head and rolled his eyes again, then stabilized his expression, looked at the glass embryo in the stove and said, "This doesn't seem to be making a vase?" ”

With a smile on his face, Qin Zheng looked at the woman who pretended to be calm and said, "I want to be a water ......."

As he spoke, he had already turned his gaze back, and instructed Jia Liang to blow up the glass embryo, and then took it out of the furnace, Qin Zheng stepped forward quickly, holding the semi-formed glass embryo with his left hand, and neatly took the scissors with his right hand to peel the embryo from the blowpipe, and then held the embryo with one hand, and took the tool with the other hand to slowly expand the embryo mouth, the bottle body was flattened, and the red and soft glass embryo gradually cooled, Qin Zheng used the iron bracket to support it and sent it into the furnace for calcination, and after a while, he took it out again for shaping, and the shape was ...... After a few back and forth, a lotus leaf multicolored water was already presented in front of Qiu Chen.

The shape of this water is already quite good, but the color is too bright, and it has lost the elegance and tranquility of the study.

Qiu Chen looked at it silently for a moment, then raised his head and smiled: "It's really good, this is the first open ware we burned." ”

Qin Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "The color is too bright and loses its simplicity, it's not good to be a water man......"

Qiu Chen's eyebrows danced and said: "If you don't make a water prince, then give it to me, I'll take it back and make a flower plate, just to raise narcissus!" ”

Qin Zheng smiled in surprise and nodded without hesitation: "If you like it, just take it!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled: "Okay, just leave it here, I'll take it back when it's cool!" ”

And he said, "It is also close to noon, so you should also rest...... Lunch, did you use it in the past or here? ”

Qin Zheng said with a smile: "It's right here!" ”

Qiu Chen turned around and looked, although the kiln house was simply furnished, it was quite clean, and there were a few low foot beds and a low table at the other end of the stove, and it was not impossible to eat a simple meal. After saying goodbye and leaving the kiln, he asked Chunxiang to take Yuegui to clean the kiln, and sent a set of tea sets and small tandoors, so that he could concentrate on dealing with the things ahead.

Although Wu Yunqiao is upright and stubborn, he has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and it is still very easy to greet guests, and with the humble attitude of Pan Jiaqing, Mr. Ding and Mr. Yuan, and the elegant conversation, the pressure on Lin Xu, the host, to accompany the guests is much less. The exquisite dishes of the Lin family taste really good, and this meal can be described as a joy for both guests and hosts.

A spicy cabbage was loved by Wu Yunqiao, and he bluntly asked for it at the dinner table, "This side dish is delicious enough, ask if there is one at home, and if there is, you will put one on me." ”

Not to be outdone, Anping County Ling hurriedly smiled: "Don't forget my share!" ”

Lin Xu said with a smile: "It's all pickled by my sister-in-law, it's not worth anything, so let people prepare it for the two adults!" ”

Father-in-law Guo didn't feel much about kimchi, but was interested in the red and spicy seasoning in kimchi, and Lin Xu also answered honestly, "It's a kind of medicinal herb called chili pepper planted by my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law said that it can dispel cold and dampness, but it's easy to get angry if you eat too much." ”

As soon as he heard that it was a medicinal herb, Guo Gonggong smiled and nodded and stopped asking.

These people got together, and they didn't have much to talk about, they each socialized carefully, and the meal was eaten very quickly, but in an hour, the wine and food were withdrawn, and the tea was served again, and after everyone drank it, Guo Gonggong was about to leave.

Zhao Jiu followed behind Lin Xu and secretly sent a purse up, Lin Xu held it in front of Gonggong Guo, and said in a low voice: "The boss has worked hard all the way, this is what my sister-in-law asked me to give to the adults to drink tea on the way, and please don't dislike the meager!" ”

Guo Gonggong took the purse with a smile, and the feeling of being light and fluttering made him slightly stunned, and then the smile on his face deepened twice, nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Yang Shuren for the miscellaneous family!" If there is anything to do in the future, go to the Xihua Gate and find someone named Xiao Xizi. ”

Lin Xu complied, and Pan Jiaqing and others sent Guo's father-in-law out of the door. Zhao Jiu led people to come out with three gifts, including the kimchi ordered by Wu Yunqiao and Anping County, as well as the soap and fragrance dew produced by himself.

Guo's father-in-law also got one, but there were no kimchi, but there were two more delicate wooden boxes.

After getting into the car, Guo Gonggong first took out his purse from his sleeve and opened it to see that a thin silver ticket was redeemed at sight, with a face value of 1,000 taels! Nodding with satisfaction and reloading it, he opened a box again, and the crystal clear and brilliant glass vial made Guo Gonggong slightly stunned, and then subconsciously closed the box and instructed a little eunuch in the corner: "Go to the wheel and look at it!" ”

The little eunuch was a clever man, so he naturally knew that Lu Dao had something to avoid him, so he hurriedly lowered his hand and withdrew from the chariot and sat on the wheel.

Only then did Guo Gonggong carefully take out the extremely small and delicate glass bottle from a pile of silk linings, and carefully studied it in his hand.

After looking at it for a while, Guo Gonggong secretly exhaled a sigh, although these glass bottles are gorgeous and exquisite, they are not the usual patterns and colors in the palace, and they are not things in the palace...... He had also seen the glass bottle from overseas, but with this imagination, he thought that this bottle was also bought by the Lin family from a foreign goods store.

This thing...... If it is used well, it will be more useful than the thousand taels of silver.

In addition to a jar of spicy cabbage and a jar of pickled radishes, Wu Yunqiao's gift also has a jar of chopped peppers, of course, there are two boxes of soap and soap, but they are all good things for their own use, and there is no exquisite decoration. These things were also used in Wuyunqiao, Qinghe County, and Qiu Chen also gave some to him, not new, but he liked it very much. I felt that this Mr. Qiu really regarded him as a friend, and the friendship of adversity became more and more profound.

A copy of the Anping County Order is basically the same as Wu Yunqiao's, but the packaging is more exquisite, and the same satisfaction is not good. These fragrant things, not only his wife likes them, but even his daughter, who is just ten years old, likes them, but he has a limited number of Anping County orders, and these things are so expensive that he can't afford to use them at all...... This time, several women in the family are happy, and the family can celebrate a little bit during the New Year.

The Lin family was noisy for most of the day, and finally sent away this group of people who announced the decree, and the people of the Lin family didn't feel tired, all of them were happy, and the wind was blowing under their feet, and they quickly cleaned up everywhere, Qiu Chen asked people to put the last holy decree and this time the edict in a delicate wooden box, and put them together in the east room in the front yard to offer them. Grade clothes and gold books and jade seals are also properly packed and stored in their wardrobes.

After all this was settled, Yufeng and Qingxing congratulated with a smile, and Chunxiang and Yuegui also smiled and followed up to kowtow and congratulate.

Qiu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly pointed to a few girls and said, "A few of you, don't kowtow...... Yufeng took out the flowers in the cabinet and took out the silver bills, two for each of the few in my room, and one for each of the others! ”

The flowers cast by the Lin family are all one or two, and two are two taels of silver, and a few little girls are even more happy, and they kowtow to thank them for the reward, and then they are busy with their own work with a smile.

sent away the family, people from the village who were close to him, Lan Ying and a few people from the Qingshan family also came to congratulate.

Qiu Chen said a few words to them, and simply said to Lan Ying: "Tomorrow I will add a meat dish and a fried salted fish to the workshop to celebrate, everyone has been tired in the past few days, the steward will add one or two silver, and the workers will add two hundred yuan each!" ”

Lan Ying said happily: "As soon as these words come out, those stinky boys don't know how happy they are!" ”

The Qingshan family looked at Qiu Chen up and down, and sighed: "Begonia has become the wife of Sanpin...... Hey, hey, tell me, why do I feel like a dream, since I got the letter, I feel that I can walk like a flutter, Xiao Xiu'er laughed at me, and then fainted with joy! ”

Lan Ying also smiled and said, "Who said no, if I hadn't watched the angel issue the decree with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it!" ”

smiled again: "We can also raise our eyebrows, Begonia has become Mrs. Sanpin...... I just heard them say that it's bigger than the official of the old man of Futai......"

Qiu Chen was laughed at by what these two people said, shook his head and said, "I'm just a name, where can I compare like that!" …… This thing is also happy, and after that, how should we live and how do we live......"

Saying that, Qiu Chen changed the topic and said with a smile: "I'm busy these days and I don't care about it, Mr. Yuan is teaching, the children think it's okay, right?" Mr. Yuan's family is settled, right? ”

Lan Ying looked at Qingshan's family and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Yuan is kind and angry, and the children also like it, saying that Mr. Yuan is speaking well." Mr. Yuan's family is also settled, the house is all new, everywhere is neat, the large pieces of furniture are placed, where there is something bad, Mr. Yuan's family is also very good, speaking and kind, bright and neat temperament. ”

Qiu Chen nodded, "Well, I don't care much about it on weekdays, you two take care of it for me, and Mr. Ren dragged his family over to teach, so we can't let people be wronged." ”

Lan Ying and the Qingshan family hurriedly agreed, and after a few more jokes, they said goodbye and went back to the East Cross Courtyard. The production of the workshop is very good, the workers work overtime every day, the products are not supplied, and now the Lin family provides two meals a day, and after dinner, they also have to pick up the lamp to do two hours of work. However, the workers did not complain, and the workshop was now paid by piecework, and the more work you worked, the more you were paid, and there was a sumptuous dinner, which was much better than going home, and no one was unhappy.

After sending Lan Ying and Qingshan's family away, the Lin family was far from taking a breath, and several well-known people in the village also came to congratulate them, Qiu Chen personally went to the front yard to receive them, greeted him with tea in the small flower hall, ate snacks, and hurriedly messed until it was dark, and then sent everyone away.

At the end of this day, Qiu Chen felt that it was even more tiring than fighting, and after washing, he looked at it again in the front and back yards, and then nested on Liu's kang and did not move.

On the second day, the people in the town, the county, and the prefecture came to the door to congratulate and give gifts, and most of these people sent their families to congratulate them, but they didn't need Qiu Chen to receive them personally. But after noon, the family of Mr. Guo of Anyang Mansion sent two mothers-in-law to congratulate him.

Qiu Chen asked the two mothers-in-law to come in and met them in the main hall in the backyard.

After the two mothers-in-law entered the door, they kowtowed to Qiu Chen, presented a gift list, and congratulated, Qiu Chen asked Yufeng Qingxing to step forward and help them up, and let the two of them sit down, but the two mothers-in-law pushed again and again but refused. Qiu Chen had no choice but to let people move two drum stools over for them to sit on, and then he began to speak.

Qiu Chen asked about the situation of Master Guo, and learned that Master Guo was very tired, he couldn't eat or drink in the epidemic area, his body was weaker, and he was not seriously ill. Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned to greet the eldest wife of the Guo family, Ning Shi, and the two grandmothers, and the two mothers-in-law also replied carefully.

“…… Our wife said that when Yang Shuren is busy for a while, she will ask Yang Shuren to come over and talk. This disaster is troublesome, I haven't seen Yang Shuren for half a year, and our wife can't think about it! ”

Qiu Chen responded with a smile: "A few days ago, I heard that Master Guo returned safely, and my aunt and two grandmothers also returned to Anyang Mansion, so I had the heart to go over to visit, but I was afraid that the eldest lady and the two grandmothers would be tired on the road, so I didn't dare to disturb them...... Go back and tell your aunt that after these days, I will come to the house to greet you. ”

The two mothers-in-law happily agreed. Qiu Chen asked Yufeng to take a big reward and reward the two, prepared a return gift, and sent the two away. Subsequently, the Yun family also sent someone over to congratulate them, and it was Yun Jichen's little servant Zhishu who came over with the four mothers-in-law.

Qiu Chen met the mother-in-law of the Yun family like a country, greeted Mrs. and Mrs. Yun family, and said a few words politely, and then sent him down to drink tea and rest. Then he called the book of knowledge.

Zhishu and Qiu Chen were both familiar with each other, and without saying a word when they entered the door, they knelt down and kowtowed three times, and congratulated each other with auspicious words in their mouths, making Qiu Chen and Yufeng laugh.

"Yufeng, hurry up, take the thickest reward and seal him!" Qiu Chen commanded with a smile.

Yufeng handed over a long string of pendants, and six silver bills of various colors were woven into a long thread, which was no less delicate than the things in the high gate of the big houses in the city. Zhishu simply didn't get up, and then he lay down and kowtowed, then he got up with a smile, hung his hand on his waist, walked to the nearest foot pedal to Qiu Chen and sat down, and began to talk back to Qiu Chen with a smile.

Yun Yizhou was promoted to political envoy, and the Yun family naturally wanted to move to Zhengding Mansion, so Qiu Chen asked. Such a promotion, depending on the relationship between the two families, has to send a generous gift to congratulate it.

Zhishu said with a smile: "Yang Shuren doesn't need to worry, our lord took the appointment and rushed to Zhengding Mansion to take up his post, and the old lady and wife have to take care of their luggage slowly before moving...... Our lord said, now the Yun family lives in the prefect's yamen's house, but there is no need to move in a hurry, the weather is cold in winter, the old lady is old, just returned to move again, afraid that he can't stand it, so he simply slowly collected his luggage, and after the New Year, the spring opened, and the weather warmed up and then moved to Zhengding Mansion. The house over there also needs to be tidied up and repaired, just so that there can be a gap to come out. ”

"Oh, that's fine!" Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't come to Anyang Mansion in the past two days, and she was afraid of delaying to congratulate the Yun family, but now it seems that there is no need to be too anxious.

After that, Qiu Chen asked Zhishu carefully about some things about the new prefect Tang Daren, as well as the successor who commanded the affairs, etc., Zhishu Zhiwu said to Qiu Chen for half an hour, and then he retired, Qiu Chen asked him to lead him to have dinner with several mothers-in-law in Yunfu and rest for a night, and then turn back to Anyang Mansion early the next morning.

After being busy for three or four days, the Lin family gradually cleared up.

Qiu Chen pondered, this time there were a lot more people who came to congratulate him, but his attitude was much more respectful and cautious, far more orderly than when he got the imperial pen plaque. However, what made Qiu Chen sigh was that now that she went out, the people in the village were a little more respectful when they saw her, but they were a little less close...... Alas, is it true, as the saying goes, that you don't live in your hometown?
