Chapter 124: Meritorious Service
The sun is bright outside the window, and the golden cinnamon is fragrant.
Zhong Lang thought about it, and suddenly had some understanding, and asked, "Could it be the bags of valuable medicinal materials that I brought back after being trapped in Fengshan last time?" ”
"General Zhong is wise." Xiao Yu smiled, then glanced outside, and then said slowly, "That time, Yue Gongzi and I saw corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts in the mountains, so we took them all back. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Lang couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and almost turned his head to look at Hua Yue: It's understandable that it's secret, but why didn't you even tell him?
Xiao Yu paused for a moment and continued: "Now that there is such a good opportunity, I want to borrow the hand of Xuan Gongzi to take out these crops openly, and say that you quietly brought them back from the island. ”
In this way, the great credit for finding overseas immortals will fall to Hua Xuan. In addition, Xiao Yu, who drew the atlas, and Qin Guangyu, who handed it over to others for searching, also contributed a lot.
Hua Yue, who could discover these crops with Xiao Yu, was excluded.
However, several people have a general understanding of Hua Yue's temperament, and they know that she has never cared about these things, and as for taking advantage of this to invite merit and reward, they are even more disdainful.
I saw Hua Yue smile and said, "It's so good." ”
Hua Xuan, who was standing next to her, was already overjoyed, and couldn't help but say: "The third brother is really beautiful, and the eldest brother has thanked him in advance." ”
In fact, although Hua Xuan was born in a high-ranking family, her talent was not outstanding, so she only received a five-grade idle job, and only helped in the Maritime Department out of interest, and occasionally went to sea with the family's merchant ships. But he, like most men, also hopes to become famous, but he doesn't have a chance, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the album that Qin Guangyu entrusted people to. Now that there is such a good thing, he is naturally overjoyed.
"Although they are trapped in the mountains, these crops were all discovered by Miss Ayu, I don't recognize them, and besides, it was also her idea, and the eldest brother should thank her." Hua Yue said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hua Xuan immediately turned around and bowed deeply to Xiao Yu: "The third brother is right, thank you to Miss Xiao." ”
Xiao Yu turned sideways, generously accepted his half-salute, and then said with a smile: "Since it has been decided, we still need to discuss the details to avoid mistakes." ”
At that moment, Hua Yue took some corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts to Hua Xuan and Zhong Lang, and the two were amazed. And because they only mentioned corn in the ancient books they had read, they were particularly interested in this golden grain.
Subsequently, several people agreed on the matter.
Xiao Yu saw that it had been a long time, and remembered Xiao Pei's instructions before going out, got up to say goodbye, and said with a smile: "It depends on Xuan Gongzi what he says to the outside world, I am only waiting for good news at home." ”
Hua Xuan smiled: "I will not disappoint Second Miss Xiao." ”
Early the next morning, Xiao Yu had just finished his morning exercise, and Xiao Pei froze the prepared fairy grass to Lan Kwai Fong, and Qin Guangyu came over with the people who came to get the sour bamboo shoots from the Drunken Immortal Residence.
Qin Guangyu is usually stable among teenagers, but at this time, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and when he saw Xiao Yu, he immediately stepped forward with a spring breeze on his face, completely forgetting what happened last time he listened to the commentary.
Xiao Yu still remembered it clearly, seeing that Qin Guangyu didn't even ask Xiao Peiwei beside him, he didn't seem to have paid attention, he was displeased, and his perception of him suddenly became a little worse: "I haven't seen you for many days, Qin Gongzi's demeanor is better than before, why did you have time to come over this morning?" ”
Qin Guangyu was a little embarrassed: "What about Sister Ling?" She's not still mad at me, is she? ”
Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "How could Sister take this little thing to heart, she forgot it a long time ago." Qin Gongzi came to the door today, but there was something wrong? ”
Qin Guangyu still said apologetically: "Last time, I was talking nonsense, please forgive Miss Xiao." ”
Xiao Pei sat in the house for a while, and finally couldn't bear it, walked to the door, just heard this sentence, immediately forgave Qin Guangyu, and whispered to Banxia who was standing by the door: "Since there are guests, why don't you remind the second girl to let you enter the courtyard?" ”
Banxia went out according to his words.
Xiao Pei immediately turned around and turned back into the house, only letting Lichun go to serve tea, and listen to what Xiao Yu and Qin Guangyu said by the way.
Xiao Yu saw that Xiao Pei was still defending Qin Guangyu like this, so he was a little polite and said, "Please invite Qin Gongzi in for a cup of tea." ”
Qin Guangyu sat down in the hall before he smiled and said, "Second Miss Xiao, do you remember the last time you drew an atlas of overseas things?" This is a great achievement! ”
Xiao Yu had already guessed Qin Guangyu's intention, but he still said in surprise: "Could it be true that I found it?" ”
"Isn't it! The Xuan Gongzi of the Hua family returned from going to sea this time and brought back corn and other immortal things that were only found in several ancient books, which are said to have been reported to the imperial court! This is a great achievement! ”
Qin Guangyu couldn't hide his joy between his words.
Xiao Yu Yingying smiled: "Then I really want to congratulate Gongzi Qin." ”
Xiao Pei immediately learned about this from Lichun's mouth, and was very happy for Qin Guangyu and Xiao Yu, and immediately ordered Banxia to go out to buy vegetables.
Here, Qin Guangyu listened to Xiao Yu's congratulations, and said with a smile: "The second girl Xiao also has a lot of credit for this matter, and she is happy." ”
The two talked a few words, and Qin Guangyu conveyed his greetings to Xiao Pei, because today was really not a holiday, he only said that he would visit another day, so he hurriedly said goodbye.
Xiao Yu remembered that he was going to visit the slang village, and told Xiao Pei the next day that he would leave early in the morning and come back the same day.
A few days later, Xiao Yucheng and Hao Jun also heard the news and went home to say that they knew Xiao Yu.
Hua Xuan knew that with his official position and power, it was impossible for such a great credit to cross the peak. But he didn't have a good impression of the Jingnan County Palace, and found Ling Yi directly.
Although Yuedi was governed by the king of Jingnan County and the general of Zhennan, the maritime affairs department was indirectly under the control of Ling Yi, and it was better for him to report to the authorities.
Now that the news has spread, the General's Mansion and the Maritime Affairs Department and related people are all excited and happy.
Only Li Jue and Li Ying had gloomy faces every day, and they were extremely jealous.
After the Jingnan County Mansion was demoted, although he was still able to govern the Yue Di by the grace of heaven, in fact, he had lost his sacred heart, and now Li Jue is in power, and he has always wanted to make meritorious contributions to change this situation, but he didn't expect a great opportunity in front of him but could only watch it fly away, so he couldn't help but be angry.
And Li Ying has not yet dissipated from the resentment of hearing the news that Hua Yue and Xiao Yu are trapped in Luofeng Mountain together, and heard that the second girl of the Xiao family she hates actually made a meritorious service, and almost didn't hold her breath until she vomited blood, and at the same time felt a trace of crisis, but her old disease with a rash has not been cured, and this matter is related to holy will, too many people are staring, it is really inconvenient for her to do something to Xiao Yu.
It's only been half a day, and Li Ying is angry with a new rash.
When Xiao Yu heard the news that Hao Jun got from nowhere, she immediately looked at Hua Xuan differently, feeling that he was really empathetic and won her heart.
Ling Yi reported to the emperor how Hua Xuan obtained the atlas drawn by Qin Guangyu and Xiao Yu, so as to find the immortal objects recorded in the ancient books overseas, and asked Hua Xuan to bring corn and other physical goods to Kyoto.
Emperor Qi had also heard of corn, and when he saw these grains that were no different from gold and jade, he immediately asked people to look through ancient books for comparison, and then Long Yan was happy.
The ministers also praised it and regarded it as auspicious.
So Emperor Qi immediately praised the Maritime Division, and Yukou promoted Hua Xuan from the assistant in the department to the deputy envoy, and the official residence was four grades, only under the city envoy.
Then Emperor Qi was going to draft a decree to reward Ling Yi, Qin Guangyu and others. (To be continued.) )
