Time flies, and it is the day of the winter solstice in the snap of a finger.

For Xie Jinlan's weak crown gift, Xu attached great importance to it, and let people prepare it early, and the invitation that should have been sent was also sent half a month ago.

Rao had already arranged everything in advance, but on this day, everyone in Xie Mansion was still busy with their feet not touching the ground. Even Mo Yan was pulled to help.

As for Xie Jinlan, as early as when the sky was dark, he was dressed neatly, and his father Xie Wenyan knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall. Inform the ancestors that he will perform the Weak Crown ceremony today.

After paying homage to the ancestors, the crowning ceremony is performed in the hall at the auspicious time that has been chosen, in the presence of a full house.

The crown ceremony involves three high-ranking male guests crowning three times in turn. These three people have been predetermined in advance.

As Xie Wenyan, there are not a few high-ranking officials and dignitaries who have good friends with him. The three people who were invited were willing to sell him a favor.

After that, Xie Jinlan bowed to his parents, and then stood up to bow to the three people who crowned him.

Since then, the guests have been seated. Xie Jinlan went back to the hospital to change his clothes, and then came out to talk and laugh and drink with the guests.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

During the banquet, everyone was slightly drunk, and a shrill shout reached everyone's ears.

After realizing what they had heard, everyone quickly got up and stood in the middle of the hall. looked at each other, all confused.

In just a moment, several fathers-in-law wearing eunuch uniforms came from far and near.

Some officials recognized that the one holding the holy decree at the head was the chief eunuch Gao Gonggong, who served in front of the saint.

Those who can let him come forward to read the holy decree are all people who are highly valued by the saints.

For a while, those officials did not move on their faces, but their minds turned a thousand times, and they re-estimated the value of the Xie family in their hearts.

Gonggong Gao stood still in front of everyone and said in a loud voice: "The holy decree has arrived, Xie Jinlan has accepted the decree!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

Xie Jinlan stepped forward and stood at the front of the crowd in a few steps, and said, "Weichen Xie Jinlan takes the order!" ”

The words fell, and he knelt down directly.

The crowd behind him knelt down with him.

Gonggong Gao opened the holy decree and read it aloud:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, now there is the son of the imperial merchant Xie Wenyan, Lin'an County Order Xie Jinlan. Talented and intelligent, he has repeatedly solved strange cases recently, benefiting the people of one side, and I am very gratified. Tejia was named the prefect of Lingzhou and gave a thousand taels of gold to show the emperor's grace. Chin this! ”

Lingzhou, which is only separated by one state from the capital, is a more prosperous state city than Qiaozhou.

Xie Jinlan raised his hand to take the holy decree and said, "The minister is grateful!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

The people behind him immediately shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Gao Gonggong personally helped Xie Jinlan up, and smiled very kindly:

"Lord Prefectural, no, now I call the prefect, congratulations. The saint said that there is no hurry to go to Lingzhou to take office, and he will talk about it after the year. ”

Then he looked at Xie Wenyan who was behind: "Lord Xie, you really taught a good son." ”

Then the head of the back instructed the eunuch who was carrying several boxes behind him: "You guys, bring the boxes in." ”

This decree was beyond the expectations of all present.

Xie Wenyan didn't prepare anything in advance, and directly stuffed a few silver tickets to Grandpa Gao by the cover of his cuffs: "Grandpa Gao has worked hard." ”

If it was usual, Gao Gonggong would have accepted this silver ticket, but today, he would never dare to accept it.

This holy decree was brought by the eldest princess when she entered the palace and begged for it.

As the person who served the saint, he didn't know what the eldest princess said to the saint.

But if the eldest princess can be valued, the son of the Xie family is afraid that he will have a great transformation. Before he can soar, he will have to form this good fate.

Before leaving, Gonggong Gao said a meaningful word to Xie Wenyan: "Lord Xie, if you have a place for miscellaneous families in the future, don't be polite." ”

Xie Wenyan didn't open the box containing the gold to take a look, and directly asked his subordinates to carry it down. beckoned everyone to continue to sit down.

It's just that this meeting, everyone's interest is obviously not high, and their minds are all on Fang Cai's holy decree and Gao Gonggong's words.

As the most powerful eunuch in front of the saint, Gonggong Gao is not so kind on weekdays.

Only those who have won the Sacred Heart can make him speak well and lower his posture.

What kind of virtue can this Xie family have?

Could it be that Xie Jinlan repeatedly solved strange cases during his official tenure before he was valued by the saint?

Everyone was puzzled. Xie Jinlan's family knows it.

This is probably the grace of General Zhenguo or the eldest princess asking for grace from the saint.

If there is no such holy decree, in the future, the Xie family will propose to the general's mansion, and everyone will inevitably say that they Xie Mansion took advantage of the fire to rob and wanted to take the opportunity to cling to the imperial family.

But as soon as this holy decree was made, everyone knew that the saint appreciated Xie Jinlan very much. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely be able to soar in the future.

In the future, the Xie family will go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage, and everyone will only guess why Xie Jinlan wants to marry the county lord of Jiahe. It doesn't feel like he wants to eat soft rice.

As soon as the weak crown ceremony passed, the matter of the Holy Lord's commendation of Xie Jinlan flew to the mansions of various Beijing officials as if he had grown wings.

Some officials who have school-age girls in their families have started to think about it.

In just two days, the Xu family received no less than ten wives.

These people are all knocking on the side to explain that they have a school-age girl, gentle and graceful, and they are very compatible with Xie Jinlan.

The Xu family already knew his son's intentions, so how could he respond? I shirked it.

In and out of the words, it is said that her son already has a sweetheart, and he will send a matchmaker to propose marriage soon.

As for which family the girl was, she didn't show a hint of tone. Just say it all and you know.

When those ladies saw Xu's words, they could only leave in disbelief.

On the third day, Xu couldn't hold it anymore, and all the ladies who came to visit her refused to see guests on the grounds that she was unwell.

In the past few days, Xie Jinlan went to the General's Mansion to see Ruan Yezhen openly.

People outside only thought that he was good friends with Ruan Haoxuan, and they went to the General's Mansion just to look for him. But most of the maids in the house knew that he was here for their county lord.

Although I don't know when and where the son of the Xie family and the county lord met, this does not prevent them from making up the process of knowing each other and falling in love, and then having to separate.

First, Xie Jinlan went to Lin'an to take office, and then the county lord fell asleep after the ceremony. This makes them sigh that lovers always go through so many tribulations.

The rumors about Xie Jinlan in the market have also been heard by the subordinates of the General's Mansion.

But based on their observations in the past few days, they came to a conclusion: those rumors must have been maliciously spread by villains who were jealous of Gongzi Xie!

A young talent like Gongzi Xie, and such a deep affection for the county lord, how can he be the kind of gentleman who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and does not do anything about production?

Didn't you see that the Holy One had heard about his great achievements during his tenure, and the Sacred Heart was happy?
