Allure of a Country Maiden

Halfway through the meal, everyone was still immersed in the emotion just now. At this time, a servant came to report: "Master, the imperial edict is coming soon! Get ready to receive the edict! Just now, the old man from the emperor's side came to the mansion to deliver the edict. Who knew that the imperial edict was coming soon?" The masters have all come to the Four Seasons Restaurant! My father-in-law is rushing from the house with the imperial edict."

Imperial decree? How could there be an imperial edict at this time? How could it be so sudden!

Xiaoer glanced at Shangguan Xuanyi: The imperial edict you requested?

Shangguan Xuanyi shook his head. He didn't know about the imperial decree. Obviously the emperor didn't tell his son.

But he more or less guessed something, but it wasn't anything bad, so he didn't say anything.

"There is no place suitable for receiving orders here!" Shen Chengyao glanced at the lobby of the restaurant. They were filled with round tables. It would not be easy to clear them out now! There’s simply no time! We can’t let the Holy Spirit’s will wait aside!

As for the stage, there wasn't enough space for so many people to kneel down.

what to do?

"Quickly, prepare the incense table. Everyone should go to the open space outside the gate to receive the order!" Xiaoer said decisively.

She probably guessed the content of the imperial edict. It was probably the emperor's reward for Jingrui's political achievements in Nanyue County. The emperor had never given Jingrui a reward since he came back. She should be waiting for today, on the day of his wedding, to give him a reward. This honor comes with the icing on the cake!

This is the Four Seasons Restaurant. There is a flat open space outside the door of the restaurant. It was originally set aside to facilitate guests to get on and off the carriage temporarily.

Now the order is received there, and the people passing by can see it, which is perfect for advertising the Four Seasons Restaurant!

Moreover, the restaurant held a wedding banquet for the first time and received the supreme honor! Such a good sign! Are you worried that no one will come to the restaurant to hold weddings in the future?

The shopkeeper of the restaurant also thought of the benefits of receiving orders in front of the restaurant. He excitedly ordered people to arrange the incense table and clean up.

The waiter in the restaurant was so proud when he heard it! Imperial decree! His father, his grandfather, and his great-grandfather had never seen the imperial edict! Not to mention the opportunity to accompany someone to receive orders! But he has a chance! This makes the waiter so excited!

They rushed to make arrangements as fast as they could.

Soon the incense table was ready and the open space in front of the restaurant was cleaned!

The emperor's father-in-law just arrived. Of course, he deliberately walked slowly so that the people in Shengpinghou Mansion had enough time to prepare.

"The imperial edict has arrived! The eldest son of Marquis Shengping receives the edict!"

With an imperial edict arriving! Everyone knelt down, including the people on the street.

"By God's will, the emperor decreed that since the eldest son of Marquis Shengping was appointed as the magistrate of Nanyue Prefecture, he has cared about the people and worked conscientiously..., and he has learned from every detail. During the Wanli Shitang earthquake, he successfully saved tens of millions of people from natural disasters and discovered high-yielding crops. Ge, set up workshops, built mulberry fish ponds...his political achievements were outstanding! He was specially granted the title of Crown Prince of Shengpinghou Mansion, and he served as the Secretary of the Political History Department of Dongguang to participate in politics. He was also the prefect of South Vietnam...and his wife was named Crown Princess and Third Grade. With this imperial edict, I will enjoy a double salary, a hundred taels of gold, and a hundred pieces of forged brocade. I appreciate this! Prince Shengpinghou, please accept the edict."

The eunuch respectfully folded the imperial edict together and presented it to him with both hands.

Jing Rui kowtowed and raised his hands to receive the imperial edict: "I would like to thank you for your kindness. Long live your Majesty!"

Zhu Yan also kowtowed and thanked her: "I thank the emperor for your kindness. Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"

The guests at the scene were all shocked. The Shengpinghou Mansion had received an imperial edict again! And he got promoted again! From the third grade!

From the fourth grade to the third grade, what many officials took several years, ten years, or even decades to accomplish, he did it in less than a year!

All the officials knew that the emperor was always very bold in employing people! I just didn’t expect it to be so bold!

How dare a young boy make such an appointment! Wearing multiple hats is an important job, is there any reason for this?

The emperor dared to appoint new people, but turned a deaf ear to old ministers like them! They, the old ministers, have been looking forward to being promoted to an official position, but they have not been promoted for half their lives!

Why do all the good things happen to Shengpinghou Mansion!

Those Earl families that are about to decline can't help but feel sour in their hearts!

Originally, the title of Marquis Shengping, like theirs, could only be hereditary for three generations, and it decreased step by step!

But the son he gave birth to is so capable!

He is a prefect at a young age, and he has to make political achievements within less than a year of taking office!

Now not only has he been promoted, but he has also retained his position as a marquis and does not have to be demoted to an earl!

This dynasty stipulates that the minimum person must be a marquis in order to be crown prince! The prince inherits the position of marquis, and the young master inherits the position of earl.

In other words, if the Shengping Houfu did not make any significant contributions to the court before Shen Chengyao passed away, after his death, the Houfu would automatically be downgraded to the rank of Bofu.

But now that Jingrui has been given the title of Crown Prince, he will inherit the position of Marquis.

The emperor loves talents the most, and he may be able to go even further in the future.

well! It’s really irritating to see people compare to each other! Uncle Zhongyi was filled with sadness.

Some people are happy and some are sad. Mr. Zhu is also very happy and excited!

As soon as the female adult got married, she received the emperor's imperial edict! This is simply a great honor! There are so many ladies here, how many of them have such an honor?

Guests of the Zhu family and even business partners all cast envious glances at him.

I don’t know what kind of luck this old man Zhu got! To be able to get married to an official family with strong holy support!

You must not offend me in the future, and you need to have a good relationship even more.

After receiving the order, Jingrui said to the eunuch beside the emperor: "If you don't mind, father-in-law, please come in and have a drink."

Several princes were here, so how could the eunuch dare to ask for help? He refused with a smile: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty. The Sa family has to go back and report to the emperor!"

"Then I don't dare to delay my father-in-law's business. I have troubled my father-in-law to make this trip. Since my father-in-law is not going to eat, today happens to be my big day again. Please be careful. I will buy some wedding cakes and candies for my father-in-law to eat. "Jing Rui rewarded the eunuch with a purse.

The eunuch took it with a smile. He didn't dare to weigh the weight inside, but he knew it was absolutely necessary without even thinking about it. He bowed respectfully to the big Buddhas in front of him and then left.

Jingrui asked everyone to go back to their seats to eat and drink.

Everyone sent their blessings to him and Shen Chengyao:

"Master Marquis, Crown Prince, congratulations! Congratulations! This is really a double happiness!"

"This imperial edict is really the icing on the cake! The Marquis has a good way of raising his children, and his children are all capable people. When you have time, you have to teach me how to raise my children! My unworthy son has simply broken my heart!" Some officials couldn't help but learn from Shen Chengyao!

There is really no comparison and no harm! This comparison made me feel that my son was born to be a disgrace to me.

"Yes, Lord Marquis's children are so outstanding. How do they teach them?"

…

Everyone is asking Shengpinghou for advice!
