Yuan Ning has only occasionally seen the scene of the decree from film and television dramas, and if he sees it with his own eyes, this is the first time.

Su Heting walked beside her and whispered reassuringly: "Don't be afraid. ”

"Well," Yuan Ning replied softly, "I'm just a little curious. ”

Su Heting smiled slightly, there are still many days to receive the order in the future, but I am afraid that she will not be impatient later.

When he arrived in the front yard, Yuan Ning saw a group of people standing in the courtyard, all dressed in official mansions, mostly servants, all with serious expressions, holding a battle in their hands, and carrying a knife on their waists.

The real herald has been let into the hall, and there is not much room for the small magistrate's mansion, and it must not be able to accommodate so many people to enter.

Yuan Ning didn't dare to look at it more, so he asked people to put an incense case in the patio and list the fruits.

Su Heting then asked the herald to come out.

There are five people in a line, and the one holding the brocade box in both hands in the middle looks like the highest grade, but he is not a common eunuch in film and television dramas.

Because the man had a beard.

The five people came out, first put the brocade box on the incense case, washed their hands again, and worshipped with incense, then respectfully opened the brocade box and said loudly: "Under the holy decree, Su Zhuo of Tianqing County will receive the decree." ”

There was no mat on the ground, and Su Heting knelt down on the cold blue brick ground.

Yuan Ning took his younger brothers and sisters to kneel not far behind him.

Then the herald read the decree aloud.

Yuan Ning only felt a cold under his knees, and his attention immediately focused on his younger brothers and sisters around him, seeing that although they also felt uncomfortable, they still endured it, and his heart was a little relieved, and he paid attention to listen to the holy decree, it turned out that as he expected, it was to let Su Heting go to Beijing to report on his work.

After the reading of the holy decree, Su Heting led the inner family to kneel three times and bow nine times, then got up and took the holy decree with both hands, put it back in the brocade box, and then handed it to Yuan Ning, which was to be enshrined.

The holy decree was handed over, and he whispered to Yuan Ning to go back: "There is nothing for you here, you should eat when you go back, I am here." If you feel uncomfortable in your legs, quickly rub it with medicinal wine. ”

Then he turned around and greeted the herald.

Yuan Ning held the holy decree and bowed his knees slightly before returning to the inner house with his younger siblings.

Listening to the herald in his ears, he smiled and said, "Tianqing County, you are so blessed!" Since the beginning of the world, the Qipin County Order summoned by the Son of Heaven and his son is a vote! ”

Su Heting naturally had to be humble, and he couldn't hear the words clearly.

Back in the inner house, the cooked dumplings were also cold.

Yuan Ning hurriedly instructed Aunt Zhang: "Leave us alone, you look at the first to prepare a few small dishes, boil some porridge, not too rich, not too much meat, it is important to send it to the front first." ”

Big pot and stove in the kitchen, it's easy to do something.

Zhong Ling saw that her sister's expression was serious, and she hurriedly said, "I'll help!" ”

Aunt Luo walked out and said, "Forget it, I'll go, you guys hurry back and take a look at their respective legs, young people, don't leave any disabilities behind." ”

The sisters then returned to the upper room.

Yuan Ning showed Ji Xiu's legs first, her fleshy knees were cold, she hurriedly took out the medicinal wine, and while instructing Zhong Ling to take off her pants and apply the medicinal wine first, she took another bottle and sent it to Bo Zhong and Shu Yu.

After coming back, he saw Zhong Ling rubbing Ji Xiu's legs again, and hurriedly walked over, "You rub yours first." ”

"I've already rubbed it," Zhong Ling didn't raise his head, "Sister, you can rub your legs first!" ”

Yuan Ning refused to believe it and pulled her away, "You take care of yourself first!" Don't talk nonsense in front of your sister! You were brought up by me, and I don't know you yet! ”

Zhong Ling had no choice but to go back and take care of himself first.

By the time the three sisters had finished dealing with it, there was already a smell of medicinal wine in the room. After tidying up the clothes, Yuan Ning got up and opened the window to dissipate the smell, and took his two younger sisters to wash their hands and go to the dining room.

Aunt Zhang had already sent out the food prepared for the front, and was frying the dumplings that had been cold.

Bo Zhong and Shu Yu soon came out as well.

Shu Yu asked innocently: "Eldest sister, is my brother-in-law going to be a big official?" I've heard that only high-ranking officials can receive holy decrees. ”

Yuan Ning touched his head and advised: "It's okay to talk about this in our own home, but don't go out and talk nonsense." ”

Shu Yu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

Yuan Ning smiled, "Okay, let's eat." ”

On this day, it was not until dusk that Su Heting returned to the inner house.

Yuan Ning couldn't help asking, "It's troublesome?" ”

"That's not it," Su Heting took off his official uniform, changed into a soft dress, and said slowly, "Isn't this an outsider, I have to be taboo somewhat." ”

Yuan Ning was at a loss, "What is taboo?" ”

Su Heting took the tea she sent, took a sip, and said with a smile: "These people from Beijing are poor and exquisite!" ”

After a pause, he felt that it was actually necessary to make it clear to Yuan Ning, "That's the case, the bigger the family, the more attention it is." Generally speaking, men who work outside are not allowed to enter the house during the day if they are fine, what is the reason...... Well, it's probably because I'm afraid of shifting my temperament.

"You just listen to these things, and you don't have to take them to heart, we don't pay attention to them."

Yuan Ning remembered it in his heart, knowing that he was reminding himself that if someone asked, he should know how to prevaricate.

"When are you leaving?" She didn't want to ask the question, but she couldn't help it.

"People come from afar to rest for three days," Su Heting poured another cup of tea after drinking the cup and said slowly, "By the way, I also want to see the customs of Tianqing County." ”

Yuan Ning immediately understood, although what Su Heting was doing here had been spread to the capital, but after all, hearing was false, and Qin sent him to take a good look.

However, after such a calculation, Su Dezhao and they only set off on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and now the messenger of the decree has arrived on the fifth day of the first lunar month, and the speed is fast enough.

Su Heting didn't wait for her to ask, and explained: "These people came in a hurry for six hundred miles, and they all rode fast horses. And it should have been with my father that they met halfway. ”

The matter of the emperor's eldest grandson has already been passed back by the pigeon, and the emperor has already gotten the news, but the emperor's eldest grandson wants to take care of his body, so it has been delayed for so long.

During this time, the emperor and the cabinet had already discussed the method of rewarding Su Heting, but it was not issued so quickly.

"So I'm going to pack up for you now?" Yuan Ning asked.

"Clean up slowly," Su Heting said, "I'm definitely going to accompany them around for a look these days." I don't have to prepare our meals at home, I just serve them wherever I go. ”

Having said that, what should be packed should be packed out, so as not to be in a hurry.

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the sound of firecrackers outside began one after another, and the shops reopened.

Yuan Ning turned over, stretched out his hand and touched it, his side was cold, and he immediately woke up, and then he remembered that in the haze, Su Heting got up and left It was not his dream.
