Chapter 673 Rewards
After Su Chenrui and Meng Mingxu finally returned home, Su Rui sent people to the Ren's mansion to pick up Su Ying, and also sent people to the Hanlin Academy to inform Ren Yanjun that he would come directly to the Princess's mansion after finishing duty in the afternoon .

In the evening, after eating hot pot that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Meng Mingxu asked Ren Yanjun while cooking the hot pot, "Second brother-in-law, is the Imperial Academy busy?"

Ren Yanjun put the boiled mutton into Su Ying's bowl, and then said with a smile, "I'm writing books every day, and I'm not busy..."

Hearing this, Su Chenrui asked curiously, "Second brother-in-law, are you just compiling books every day? But I heard that those who have entered the Imperial Academy can enter the palace to read for His Majesty, right?"

Ren Yanjun laughed, "Have you heard a lot?"

"In the past, Hanlin officials often came to the palace to read to His Majesty, but in recent years, His Majesty doesn't like listening to people read, so no one reads."

Meng Tao, who was on the main seat, paused when he heard the words, and said to himself that it's not that His Majesty doesn't like listening to people reading, but that he's afraid...

After a few more days, Meng Mingzhou finally returned to Yuncheng with His Royal Highness King Jing. He did not go home but sent Su Cheng back to report.

"Ma'am, master asked the villain to come back first to inform you that he will be back later..."

Su Rui fanned her fan gently, and said with a smile, "I see, Su Cheng, you have worked hard for more than a month, go back and see your son Shouzhi first? That child speaks very fluently now, a few days ago When you came to say hello to me, you said you missed you..."

When Su Cheng heard his son say that he missed him, a rare smile appeared on his face, "The villain will go down."

Xi Yu looked at Su Cheng who was striding out of the main courtyard, and couldn't help laughing, "Ma'am, sister Xi'er, if she knows that Brother Su Cheng is back, she must be very happy..."

Su Rui nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if Xi'er is getting better."

Xi Yu said with a smile, "It's almost there. This servant went to see Elder Sister Xi'er this morning. She is no longer dizzy. She just needs to rest for a day or two to fully recover..."

Su Rui stood up and walked to the door while fanning the wind, "Someone tell Xi'er to let her rest for a few more days, so that she doesn't have to come back to work in such a hurry."

Xi Yu slightly bent her knees, "Yes."

In the imperial study room in the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair and watched the two kneeling on the ground.

"Zhao Ze, Deputy Commander Meng, you all get up."

Respecting the king, Meng Mingzhou stood up, "Thank you, Father/Emperor..."

The emperor looked at the notebook presented to him by King Jing, and he spoke again after a while, "The matter has been handled well, and the victims in Qianyang County have been resettled well."

After a pause, he continued, "It's just that there are still a lot of disaster victims near Qianyang County gathered outside the city. The imperial court gave them money to go back, but they don't want to go back. Do you have any ideas?"

King Jing turned his head and glanced at Meng Mingzhou, seeing that he was like a background wall, silently looking down at his feet, feeling helpless, but he still stepped forward and clasped his fists.

"Father, you can give them a time limit. If you don't return within a certain period of time, you will be punished. Of course, if you honestly go back within the time, you can also give them a certain amount of compensation, such as some food or bedding. "..."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words, clapped his hands and applauded, "Use both kindness and power, good, good, good, Zhao Ze, your idea is very good..."

King Jing glanced at the calm Meng Mingzhou, clasped his fists and said, "It is the duty of the ministers to relieve father and emperor's worries."

The emperor settled down on the important matter on his mind, he was very pleased, and said with a big wave of his hand, "If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. The earthquake in Qianyang County, King Jing and Deputy Commander Meng did a good job. Each rewarded a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver. Various decorations..."

Walking out of the imperial study, King Jing stopped Eunuch Fuhai who was about to send them off, "Eunuch, stay a while, I know the way, so I can walk out slowly with Vice Commander Meng."

Fuhai is old and refined, he understood the meaning of King Jing, King Jing wanted to talk to Vice Commander Meng, and when he heard the words, he bent down obediently and said respectfully, "Then send His Highness King Jing and Vice Commander Meng off respectfully. ···”

Walking on the road in the palace, His Royal Highness King Jing glanced at Meng Mingzhou who was still calm beside him, "Why don't you say it yourself?"

"The last general thinks it's most appropriate to say it from King Jing's mouth..."

Meng Mingzhou knew what King Jing was talking about, and he didn't regret the lack of credit. He had upgraded fast enough, and he had already recruited many people, so even if the credit for solving the problem outside the city gate fell to him this time, On him, he will not be upgraded, at most it will be rewarded with something.

But to him, it doesn't matter whether he has those things or not, but if they are given to King Jing, they will be better for him...

King Jing stopped when he heard the words, stared at Meng Mingzhou with an unpredictable expression, patted him on the shoulder for a while, and said solemnly, "I will remember your credit..."

Meng Mingzhou cupped his fists, "Yes."

"Mingzhou's daughter-in-law."

Su Rui was looking at the rewards from the palace in the hall, when she heard Jiang's voice, she turned her head and saluted, "Grandma."

Jiang Shi was supported by the girl into the hall, looked at the boxes all over the floor, and asked, "What are these? Has Mingzhou returned?"

Su Rui smiled and stepped forward to support Jiang's other arm, "This is the reward that Ming Zhou received. He went to the palace to return to his command. He hasn't returned yet. The reward has arrived first, but I think he should be back soon."

Jiang said "Oh" and sat down on the chair.

Su Rui glanced at the girl Xiaoqiu, "Xiaoqiu, take out the jade bamboo ornament you saw just now."

Xiaoqiu, "Yes."

After speaking, he brought the jade bamboo ornament to Su Rui, who took it and said, "Grandma, my grandson knows that grandpa likes bamboo, and this jade bamboo is a gift from His Majesty, so how about my grandson borrow flowers to present Buddha to grandpa?"

"this·····"

Jiang Shi glanced at Yuzhu when she heard the words, and her heart skipped a beat. She is a daughter of an aristocratic family, and she has seen many good things before and after she got married, and she can see Yuzhu in front of her at a glance. It is not made of jade, but carved out of a whole piece of jade, which is a rare treasure in the world.

Su Rui glanced at the Polygonatum odoratum in her hand, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Has grandma seen this Polygonatum odoratum?"

Jiang smiled and shook his head, "No, this kind of treasure is only found in the palace. Grandma has never seen it before. Grandma just thinks it is too precious. Your grandpa can't have it..."

Su Rui laughed when she heard the words, "Grandma, no matter how good or precious something is, only when someone appreciates it and likes it can it show its value. For the granddaughter-in-law, it is a slightly more expensive ornament, and grandpa is the one who can really do it." People who appreciate its value."

After Su Rui said that, Jiang couldn't continue to refuse, she patted Su Rui's hand and said, "Mingzhou daughter-in-law, you are a virtuous..."

Su Rui pursed her lips and smiled.
