I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 655 The Prodigal Emperor

Xia Ying was so angry that she glared at him several times.

"You wait for me! If you dare to scare me, I will deal with you when you go back!"

Gu Tuo immediately lowered his eyes obediently.

But the good news about Mao Zhifu is not over yet!
After everyone's joy passed, he immediately threw out another piece of good news——

"Besides, the emperor learned that our Jiangbian province was plagued by the plague last year. This year, auspiciousness fell on the bamboo rats. He believed that the bamboo rats realized their mistakes and were willing to admit them. As a result, the emperor was in a better mood. So I rewarded the government with ten carts of jewels, saying it was to fill up the disaster relief expenditure of the provincial treasury last year."

Gee tut.

Now, Xia Ying couldn't help but want to scold the present-day sage for being a loser!
Now that taxes have been exempted, this reward is enough.As a result, he gave back ten carts of jewels now?
One can imagine how precious the jewels given by the emperor are.If you add up ten carts, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?This is tens of millions of RMB in modern times!

No wonder Gu Tuo looked down on this current sage, Xia Ying began to feel that he was too extravagant and wasteful.

But it's not over yet!

"The emperor learned that auspiciousness was discovered by a villager in Gujia Village, Changshou Town, Qingshan County, and specially rewarded this villager with his family background. By the way, and you, Master Gu, the Emperor knows the reason why Gu Changwu embarked on the road of raising bamboo rats , thanks to your guidance, so the emperor also rewarded you with a family background."

The corner of Gu Tuo's mouth twitched slightly. "Grassmen thank the Lord Ron."

This tone should be more perfunctory and more banquets.

Xia Ying also twitched the corner of her mouth.

She hurriedly asked Miss Zhifu in a low voice. "What is the use of this Juren status bestowed by the emperor? Can I take the imperial examination?"

"It's not logical." Miss Zhifu shook her head, "It's just a favor, it's just to help ordinary people jump into the scholar class, and it's just a better look. With this status, you can continue to do business. The merchants have to give way to you because of the name of your family. Of course, if you want to take the opportunity to become a small official, that is also possible. It's just that because you don't have the foundation and the same year, the official is afraid It’s not too big.”

"To put it bluntly, he's just a face saver." Xia Ying said.

"That's right, it's just for saving face!" Miss Zhifu nodded.

Then this thing is of little use to their family!Their family already has a genuine scholar, okay?If there is no accident, Gu Yuanlong will take part in the autumn test in two years.He was originally clever and intelligent, and now he has been taught by Tang Shan's master hand in hand. Isn't it a matter of minutes to pass the exam?
To Gu Tuo, the background of the Juren given by the emperor is a tasteless one.

It was rare for Xia Ying to share the same hatred with Gu Tuo, and she felt more and more disgusted in her heart.

She was feeling disgusted in her heart when Zhifu Mao spoke again. "By the way, above the main hall, the emperor was very happy when he saw the performance table presented by the government. He also praised the person who wrote the performance table. When he learned that the person who wrote this article was actually only a 14-year-old scholar. At that time, the emperor was very happy, and wanted to give him an official on the spot, but the government refused. The government told the emperor that this young man has great ambitions, and he will step into the imperial court with his true ability in a few years In the middle, the emperor just let it go."

Xia Ying's mouth twitched again.

She completely understood why Gu Tuo disliked the emperor so much.Just listening to Mao Zhifu's few words now, she already felt that that guy was a guy who dared to make a decision at the first slap of his head.Such a person becomes the emperor, it really hurts the common people all over the world!

But things are not over here!

After Mao Zhifu shared these good news, he drank several more glasses of wine.At this time, his face was already glowing red, but his spirit was unprecedentedly good.

Suddenly, he cast his eyes on Xia Ying, and an unusually bright smile appeared on his face.

Xia Ying's heart skipped a beat!
Then, she saw Zhifu Mao stand up, and he took the initiative to bow to her as a big gift. "Madam Gu, I thank you in advance for being here!"

Xia Ying hurriedly stood up. "Master Zhifu, why did you say that? You are the one who traveled thousands of miles to present treasures in Beijing this time, and you are the one who is right for the imperial prelude. We are just sitting back and enjoying the benefits. Why do you want to thank me? You really piss me off when you say that." !"

Xia Ying still admired Mao Zhifu, a prefect who sincerely contributed to the common people.

In this way, she couldn't bear the great gift of Mao Zhifu even more.

However, Zhifu Mao insisted on saluting to the end, and then he said: "Madam Gu doesn't know something. The emperor liked the picture album you presented to the emperor, and he was also very interested in the style of painting in it. The government called the Imperial Study Room to ask for a long time. I learned that this picture album is from your hand, and that you and my sister Long and others opened a bookstore together, and all the money you earned was used to help poor women all over the world. , Over the past two or three years, you have helped 500 people! Your Majesty is very impressed with your integrity."

"Then, the emperor immediately ordered someone to take this album and print a thousand copies and distribute it to the courtiers. Then, he also issued an imperial decree to marry my sister Long to the present Ninth Prince!"

what did he say! ?

This was a bolt from the blue!
Xia Ying was shocked by this news.

The chopsticks in Miss Zhifu's hand also dropped.

"Father, didn't you lie to me? What kind of status am I, how can I marry the Ninth Prince as a concubine?"

The magistrate's wife also had a look of astonishment. "My lord, is the emperor joking? Our sister Long is pretty good, but when it comes to her identity, she is still far behind the Ninth Prince."

"How could I be joking about this kind of thing? The emperor's imperial decree has already been issued, and I brought it back!" Mao Zhifu said with a smile.

He quickly ordered the servant to fetch the imperial edict.

When she saw this bright yellow imperial decree, the smooth words and sentences on the imperial decree, and the square inscription at the bottom, Miss Zhifu's face turned pale.

Mao Zhifu was smiling.

He stroked his beard proudly. "Although our government is only a fifth-rank magistrate and not an official in the capital, there is indeed a gap between a daughter and the royal family. But since the emperor has already assigned marriage, doesn't that mean that the emperor has decided to promote this government? The past three years The performance appraisal has been cleared, and with auspicious presence this year, the government will definitely get an excellent grade. In another two years... those people who perform the performance appraisal are all good people. For the sake of this marriage contract, they will not embarrass the government. !"

That is to say, in just two years, mao magistrate will be transferred to the capital!
And when the time comes, he will definitely be the real shortage in the six departments of the capital!
However, an auspiciousness has brought him so many real benefits, no wonder magistrate mao is so happy.

Miss Zhifu's complexion became paler, and she even began to tremble.
