  The police quickly opened the way, and the magistrate and Tang Jinghong came straight to the gate of Chu Qingzhi's house.

  Chu Qingzhi came out with her family, and everyone looked confused.

  The villagers had never seen such a battle before. While guessing what happened, they gathered at Chu Qingzhi's house, and soon all the villagers gathered around.

  Chu Laipi and Chu Papi climbed directly to the tree to see the surprise.

  The head of the village even put on his shoes backwards, and asked very nervously, "Master County Magistrate, I don't know why you came here suddenly, why?"

  The county magistrate glanced at everyone, then looked at today's rightful lord, Chu Qingzhi, and raised his voice, "Everyone kneel down to welcome the imperial edict!"

   Everyone was stunned, imperial decree? Did their ears hear wrong?

A group of arresters knelt down first, then Tang Jinghong came over and pulled Chu Qingzhi to kneel down on one knee, Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang also knelt down quickly, and the others were stunned when they saw this, they knelt down reflexively, and quickly knelt down people from all over the place.

  The county magistrate nodded slightly, then took the imperial decree from the master next to him, and unfolded it.

"Fortunately, the emperor summoned and said, Chu Qingzhi in the capital city, Shuiyun County, Chujia Village, has both talents and virtues, and is virtuous and virtuous. In this refugee disaster relief, offer advice and suggestions, defy hardships, overcome malaria, and save the people from the fire and water , made great contributions to Sheji, was named "Mingmin", and was given one thousand taels of silver, twelve pieces of jewelry, and twelve bolts of silk and satin. I admire this."

  The so-called "Mingmin": refers to the common people who were rewarded by the emperor's edict.

Although ordinary people are not capable of being officials, they can have noble virtues. Every word, deed, and every action can play a leading role in improving the social atmosphere and set a good example for the common people. Such people can He was named "Mingmin" and rewarded.

  Once selected as a "Mingmin", he can take a two-horse carriage when traveling, and the carriage is well decorated.

  Other people, no matter how rich they are, do not have such virtues and have not been awarded the title of "Mingmin" by the emperor, and they cannot ride in such a carriage, otherwise they will be punished.

   is a great honor.

  The county magistrate closed the imperial edict and said kindly, "Miss Qing Zhi, thank you for accepting the edict."

   "Thank you, Lord Long En!" Chu Qingzhi raised her hands, took the imperial decree, and then stood up, and the others followed suit.

  The county magistrate was very happy.

  Mingmin appeared in his county, which has a great blessing effect on his political achievements. This time, he will definitely pass the official assessment, no, he is far ahead.

"Miss Qing Zhi, you surprised me so much. Since the founding of Daling, over four hundred years ago, only nine ordinary people have been named "Mingmin". You are the tenth. It’s been thirty years since I’ve had a Mingmin, congratulations.”

  After the county magistrate finished speaking, he waved to the master, "I offer you a reward."

   "Yes, my lord." The master hurriedly waved to several arresters, "Move the box behind me to Miss Qing Zhi's house."

   "Yes, Master."

   Several boxes looked heavy, and were carried into the yard by the arresters.

  Chu Qingzhi said politely, "My lord, why don't you go inside and have a cup of tea?"

The county magistrate waved his hand, "No, no, the county has to go back to prepare for tomorrow's float parade, Miss Qingzhi, this is specially prepared for you, tomorrow the Japanese county will send someone to pick you up, Miss Qingzhi needs to dress a little more gorgeously , it is best to wear the jewelry bestowed by the emperor to show the emperor's favor."

  If you become a citizen of Daling, then you will abide by the rules of this dynasty, Chu Qingzhi smiled and agreed, "My lord, I understand."

  The county magistrate's face turned into a flower with a smile, "I still have something to do in this county, let's go first."

  Tang Jinghong said to Chu Qingzhi, "I also have something to do, I will leave with the county magistrate in a while, and I will pick you up tomorrow."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled when she heard the words, "Okay."

  She turned around and took a box from Shen Ruyue's hand, and put it in Tang Jinghong's hand, "You will share it with everyone later."

  Tang Jinghong nodded, "OK."

  Everyone in Chu Family Village watched the county magistrate and Tang Jinghong leave together.

  When Zhang Xiuqin and Tang Shan saw how close Tang Jinghong was to the county magistrate, they began to murmur in their hearts.

  Tang Jinghong seemed to be having a hard time, and thinking about the generous dowry Tang Jinghong gave before, the more they thought about it, the more uneasy they felt, as if they had missed something.

  The Chu family glanced at each other. Their daughter is really amazing. Not to mention the ten miles and eight villages, even a few counties have not been named Mingmin, which makes them so proud.

  Thinking of this, the backs of the Chu family were straightened, and their faces were full of pride.

  Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang looked at each other. Master is indeed a master, even if they are common people, they are the best common people.

  The village head now sees that Qingzhi is not only the God of Wealth, but also a lucky star. He said with joy, "Qingzhi, the people in the village have never seen a reward from the emperor. I wonder if you can open our eyes?"

  Chu Qingzhi said generously, "Yes."

  The villagers curiously followed Chu Qingzhi into the yard, their necks almost turning into giraffes.

  With an apprentice, naturally there is no need for the master to do it. Zhan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang rushed to work, and Zhan Hongjun asked, "Master, which one should be driven first?"

  Chu Qingzhi glanced over several boxes, then pointed to the biggest one, "Open which one is the biggest."

  Zhan Hongjun immediately walked over and opened the biggest box, which was filled with silk and satin.

  As soon as the box was opened, the cloth inside seemed to reflect light, which dazzled everyone's eyes.

  Twelve bolts of silk and satin are exquisite, they come from the royal family, so it is impossible for them to be bad. Everyone is dazzled and envious.

   But these cloths can only be worn by Chu Qingzhi. Considering her age, they are mostly light colors, light green, light pink, light blue, etc., all of which look good.

  Chu Qingyue came over, "Fifth Sister, let me choose some cloth to make you a dress for wearing a float tomorrow, okay?"

  Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, "Second Sister, thank you for your hard work."

  Chu Qingyue lightly pinched Chu Qingzhi's face, and said with a smirk, "Little girl, if you are so polite to Second Sister, Second Sister will be angry."

  Chu Qingzhi smiled and said, "Then I won't talk about it in the future."

Bao Linjiang opened the second box, which was relatively small, and contained twelve pieces of jewelry, including hair accessories, not as good as Buyao, hairpins, earrings, some made of jade, some emerald, necklaces, bracelets, and gold bracelets. , Girls wear two sets of jewelry, full of girly atmosphere, very beautiful.

  The last box is one thousand taels of silver, full of silver ingots, stacked neatly, shining silver light in the sun.

  The villagers watched, their eyes glowing, and they couldn't help swallowing.

Shen Ruyue came up to say something to Chu Qingzhi, Chu Qingzhi nodded, and then raised her voice and said, "From today onwards, our family will hold a running water feast for two days, and we will ask all the uncles and aunts in the village to stay and help Set up a banquet, and the next two days will be hard for everyone."

   Shout out the slogan, even if we are ordinary people, we must be the best ordinary people!
