Chapter 457: Awarded the title of county lord

Lin Ruan and the others stayed in the patient's room for nearly an hour before coming out, and then went to quarantine.

After a few more days, the few people had no problems at all, and Jishitang announced that cowpox was completely effective in preventing and defending against smallpox.

Chen Zhizhou immediately wrote a recital and sent it to Kyoto in an expedited manner for 800 miles.

Three days later, Chen Zhizhou's recital was delivered to the emperor. When the emperor read the contents of the recital, he was so excited that he applauded, provoking the attendants next to him to ask: "Your Majesty, but what is the great joy?" ”

The emperor laughed: "What a great joy! Go, let people summon Jing Chen into the palace. ”

Xiao Jingchen was originally on an errand in Huzhou, but something happened halfway, so he went around to other places and returned to Kyoto yesterday.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Xiao Jingchen saw that the emperor was discussing things with the prince.

As soon as the emperor saw him coming, he beckoned to him: "Chen'er, come and see this twist." ”

Xiao Jingchen took it and looked at it, and suddenly his pupils shrank, Qingzhou, smallpox, Ah Ruan!

The emperor didn't notice the slightest abnormality in him, and said with a smile: "This Lin Ruan is really bold, and he dares to test the medicine himself, which is really not something that anyone dares to do." She also found this cowpox method, and the credit this time is really extraordinary. ”

The prince smiled: "If you can really make smallpox disappear from the Great Zhou, no matter how great the credit is, it should be given." ”

The emperor nodded again and again: "It should indeed be given." ”

What made him happy was the matter of that auspicious rui, it is said that the girl knelt down directly to thank him, and immediately pushed the credit of that auspicious rui on his head, so that all the people admired him, and this sycophant made him really happy.

Such a capable and knowledgeable person, he will naturally not be stingy.

So immediately, the emperor asked people to draft a decree, and Jin named Lin Ruan as the county lord of Sanpin, with the title of Youning, five acres of fiefdom, and 100 households in the city. And she presided over the vaccination of cowpox.

Siu King-chan was responsible for conveying the decree and helping to supervise the vaccination.

When Xiao Jingchen rushed to Qingzhou City, Lin Ruan was busy vaccinating the people with Fei Fu and Luohua.

"The holy decree has arrived, and the Yulin Township Junlin Ruan has received the decree."

The sudden sound made everyone present stunned.

Lin Ruan smiled slowly when he turned his head and looked at the person sitting on horseback.

It's only been a month apart, why does it seem like it's been several years?

Xiao Jingchen looked at Lin Ruan in the crowd and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she really had nothing to do.

Even if Liang Twelve kept telling him that Lin Ruan was okay when he came over this way, he couldn't rest assured.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, the stone that has been hanging in his heart has finally fallen.

Lin Ruan tidied up his clothes, stepped out of the crowd, knelt on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Lin Ruan received the order, long live my emperor, long live." ”

Xiao Jingchen jumped down from his horse, unfolded the bright yellow holy decree, and began to read it out loud.

But Lin Ruan didn't listen to a word, she only felt that Xiao Jingchen's voice was extremely good, just listening to this voice, she felt comfortable.

In the end, it was Lin Han who stabbed her twice in the back: "Hurry up and thank you for taking the order." ”

Lin Ruan came back to his senses: "The courtier Lin Ruan accepted the order, thank the lord Longen." ”

After receiving the holy decree, hearing the congratulations of Chen Zhizhou and several people, Lin Ruan reacted and was promoted!

County Lord! And there is also a special title, which is really a surprise.

And the people who were being vaccinated also knelt down and shouted: "See the county lord of Youning." ”

Lin Ruan hurriedly said: "Folks, please get up quickly." ”

Since the Yamen drama that day, Lin Ruan and the entire Lin family's reputation in Qingzhou City has started at once, and now no matter where they go, they will be greeted respectfully.

And Chen Zhizhou and Mr. Qi are not as influential as them.

After all, one of the two is a parent official, and the other is a respected old miracle doctor, and their status in the minds of the people of Qingzhou is not ordinary. Even if there is no such thing, their prestige is not low.

On the contrary, it was Lin Ruan's family, who originally had no reputation, but through this incident, it was really a blessing in disguise, and they quickly accumulated a large wave of goodwill from passers-by in Qingzhou City.

Everyone knows that from then on, a new family began to rise in Qingzhou City.

And after Lin Ruan was promoted to the county lord, this position became even more solid.

Because he received the holy decree and had to invite the holy decree back, Lin Ruan had Chen Zhizhou confess his guilt and went back to the mansion with the holy decree in his hand first.

Xiao Jingchen took someone back to the house with her.

Lin Zhong and Lin Han were about to leave the mansion when they saw Lin Ruan coming in with the holy decree, they were startled and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Lin Ruan smiled and opened the holy decree for Lin Han to see for himself.

Lin Han read it again, and was so shocked that his mouth couldn't close: "Ah Ruan, have you become the county lord?" ”

Lin Ruan smiled and nodded, and invited the holy decree to the incense table in the ancestral hall of the mansion to make offerings.

There is already a holy decree on the incense case, which is the one where Lin Ruan was named the township king.

After the incense ceremony, Lin Ruan's family withdrew from the ancestral hall.

Just as he was about to say something to the father and son, Xiao Jingchen suddenly reached out and grabbed Lin Ruan's waist, and disappeared in front of the father and son.

Lin Zhong was stunned: "What is Xiao Ye going to do?" ”

Lin Han clenched his fists unwillingly and didn't speak.

Lin Ruan, who was "plundered", was also taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, the two were already standing in front of Lin Ruan's door.

As soon as he landed, Lin Ruan was about to speak, but he was hugged into Xiao Jingchen's arms and hugged him tightly.

He hugged her so hard that her ribs hurt a little. And this is at home, although there are not many people, there will always be passers-by, and how embarrassing it is to be seen. As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to protest, he was heard gritting his teeth and questioning.

"Why are you so bold! Do you know how worried and scared I was when I saw what was on the fold. What if the cowpox is not only useless, but also causes smallpox? There are so many people who can do the experiment, why do you have to go? Are you dying? ”

Lin Ruan heard the worry in his words, honestly let him hold him, and comforted: "That pox vaccine is absolutely safe and useful, otherwise how could I be so bold to take my family to test it together?" The content in the fold, Chen Zhizhou must have over-polished, there is really no danger. ”

These words did not comfort Xiao Jingchen.

"Something so big, why don't you send someone to bring me a letter?" Xiao Jingchen was really angry when he thought of this, since he gave Fei Xue Luohua and the others to her, he never received any news about her again.

He also thought about arranging a few more secret guards to report to him every day about her situation, but he was afraid that he would be angry. This girl has been remembering Ding Rui's matter in his heart for a long time, and he doesn't want her to feel uncomfortable. But this time, he was really scared.

Lin Ruan also knew that she was a little unreasonable this time, if Xiao Jingchen encountered this and refused to tell her, she would definitely be angry, so she said softly: "I was too busy, so I forgot." Don't be angry. ”
