The control group of the ancient heroine

Whether it was Wei Ting or Chief Steward Chi, they were curious about Yang Haiyan. Because they all knew that the land policy of the military camp and the use of saltpeter to make ice were proposed by this woman.

Before they met Yang Haiyan, they all knew that Yang Haiyan had been a maidservant of the eldest daughter of the Yang family. That eldest daughter was also one of the pearls of the capital, and she could be a little bit more respectful of the maidservant around her. However, it was only a little bit. Even though Yang Haiyan was now an official family, she was once a slave and a maid. Ordinary people did not attach much importance to maids, and they might even be a little more respectful because the girl had been a maid in a wealthy family, but the aristocratic families would not.

The concept of the aristocratic families was very deep, and a maidservant was a maidservant. Even if this maidservant becomes the emperor's concubine, there will be people who say behind her back that she was just a maidservant before. What's more, Yang Haiyan is only a fifth-rank official's wife?

However, Wei Ting and Chi, the chief steward, did treat Yang Haiyan differently from ordinary maidservants because of the military camp's land policy and the saltpeter ice-making matter. This is a unique and talented maidservant.

But... that's all. There are a few high points, but only a few.

Of course, seeing Yang Haiyan's true self at this moment, these few points have increased a few points. It's not like the ordinary timid maidservants. The woman in front of him was beautiful, wearing a light blue skirt, a gold hairpin inlaid with white pearls, and a Hetian jade bracelet on her slender wrist. She looked very gentle.

Such a woman is easy to make him feel good about. Of course, this kind of good feeling is not the love between men and women, but the pickyness of ancient men towards women. Many ancient men like this type of wife when choosing a wife, dignified, gentle, elegant, and graceful.

Wei Ting and Chi, the chief steward, were not surprised by Yang Haiyan. The maids in their impression should not be like this, but they felt that Yang Haiyan did not surprise them.

Speaking of appearance, there are many beauties in the capital, not to mention that Chief Steward Chi is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the harem. If Yang Haiyan is in the harem, she can only be considered average. She is indeed beautiful, but not outstanding. If you have to say something good, it is probably her temperament, not like a maid.

Wei Ting's perception of Yang Haiyan is similar to Chief Steward Chi. Except for her temperament like a maid, she does not think she is outstanding.

However, such a woman makes him feel very comfortable. Not flattering, with clear eyes and decent manners. Wei Ting thought, she is worthy of being a maid next to the pearl of the capital. How dazzling the pearl of the capital was back then, his brother... Thinking of this, Wei Ting just sighed.

Qin Haiyan said with a smile: "I have met Wei Wu and Manager Chi. Speaking of which, since we arrived in Yunxiang County, Wei Wu and Manager Chi were the first guests in the mansion." The voice was different from the soft voice when she spoke to Qin Fang in the past. At this moment, the voice was still gentle, but much more polite.

Wei Ting couldn't help asking when he heard it: "That's a bit embarrassing. Although we are guests, the guests didn't prepare any gifts. What should we do?"

Manager Chi searched his body with both hands: "Indeed, I didn't prepare any gifts either."

Qin Fang was confused: "..." Why did he get to this point?

Yang Haiyan said: "If you two can stay in my humble home for a few more days, so that your husband can show more of his friendship, it will be the best gift."

Wei Ting and Chief Steward Chi smiled at each other. This Mrs. Qin is indeed extraordinary. What they said just now was also intentional, with a bit of teasing embarrassment. However, this woman solved it easily.

A woman who can think of the land policy of the military camp and make ice with saltpeter is indeed extraordinary.

Chi said: "Although our family has not prepared gifts, we have brought gifts for Xiangjun."

Yang Haiyan was stunned: "Xiangjun?"

Chi Chief Steward's face was serious: "The imperial edict has arrived, Qin Yang Haiyan receives the edict."

Yang Haiyan and others all knelt down: "Long live the emperor."

Yang Haiyan's heart was pounding, thinking of Chief Steward Chi calling her Xiangjun just now. Is this Xiangjun the Xiangjun she understands? The emperor conferred her the title of Xiangjun?

"The Emperor Chengyun ordered that Qin Yang Haiyan is virtuous, gentle, dignified, and wise... She has made contributions to the country and is truly a role model for women. She is hereby conferred the title of a third-rank Xiangjun, and given the title of Bingyun. I decree this! Thank you!"

A third-rank Xiangjun, and a title?

This surprise came so suddenly that Yang Haiyan hadn't reacted yet.

Qin Fang saw his wife kneeling in a daze, and thought she liked him very much. She was shocked by the surprise, so he was also happy in his heart. If meritorious service can make his wife happy, he thinks he knows everything. Qin Fang pulled Yang Haiyan's sleeve: "Yan Yan?"

Yang Haiyan came to her senses and said hurriedly: "I am a concubine, and I was too surprised for a moment. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Chi Zongguan: "The emperor forgives me. Xiangjun, accept the decree and thank you."

Yang Haiyan: "Bingyun accepts the decree and thanks the emperor for his grace." Bingyun, the emperor's title is not bad. Bing should be taken from the ice made from saltpeter; Yun should be taken from Yunxiang County. Speaking of which, with this title, Yang Haiyan feels much more at ease than before. Even though there were many powerful people in ancient times, she was a Xiangjun appointed by the emperor himself, not an ordinary official family member. With the title, her status is naturally even higher. Let her, alone, feel a little sense of security in this strange world.

Yang Haiyan felt that whatever she lacked, the emperor would give her. This emperor was really good. Speaking of which, apart from making the wandering prince the crown prince and asking him to succeed him, the emperor was indeed a wise king in other matters.

Yang Haiyan stood up and accepted the imperial edict, her heart still beating fast. Although she guessed that the emperor's title of Xiangjun was related to Qin Fang's memorial, the title of Xiangjun was still beyond her expectation. However, For the time being, she could only suppress her doubts. Yang Haiyan turned around and turned to Qin Fang: "Ms. sir, the two distinguished guests came from the capital. It must have been a hard journey all the way. I have already ordered food to be prepared. Let the two distinguished guests cushion their bellies first, and then they can have a rest. , wait until they wake up and then have dinner, don’t you think?”

Qin Fang felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, so he asked Manager Wei Ting and Chi, "What are you two doing?"

Manager Wei Ting and Chi rushed on their way quickly because the matters at the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine were relatively tense. They were worried that things might change later, and they did not dare to waste time on the road. Therefore, they have really worked hard along the way. Although every time I arrived at the place where I stayed, I didn't feel wronged in terms of food, but I was still very tired from traveling all the way. At this moment, they also felt that Yang Haiyan's arrangement was appropriate.

Wei Ting said: "It's very appropriate. Then I won't bother the Lord of Qin's army."

Manager Chi: "We are also disturbed."

Yang Haiyan turned to Kunshi and said, "Captain Kun, you take our guests to the courtyard, and I'll go see the kitchen."

Kunshi: "Yes."

Kun Shi led the way, and Qin Fang accompanied Wei Ting and Manager Chi to the guest house. The military mansion is very big, but the simple environment inside also allowed Manager Wei Ting and Chi to have a better understanding of Qin Fang. For example, this General Qin is not a person who enjoys himself, and has a relatively honest personality. Otherwise, such an army would definitely have some unique designs.

Kunshi led everyone to the front of the guest courtyard: "The courtyards of the two nobles are adjacent, and there is a guard standing guard at the entrance of each courtyard. The wife said that because she did not know the living habits of the two nobles, she did not You can directly arrange the service, and you can tell me your living habits, and your wife will choose the service. "Actually, Yang Haiyan has not arranged the service, but you can't say that.

Wei Ting said: "No need, I have my belt. If you need anything, my entourage will tell you."

Mr. Chi said: "We don't need to wait on you anymore."

Qin Fang spoke at the right time: "Then Qin will not disturb you two. If you two have something to do, you can send me to call Qin."

Wei Ting and Manager Chi said in unison: "General Qin, you're welcome."

After Qin Fang left, Wei Ting, the pool manager, was about to prepare hot water for them to take a bath first. These people are on the road and even bathing is a must.

After they came out of the bath, Aunt Lian brought food to her. They were all eaten at home. They tasted inconspicuous, but made her feel very attentive.

Manager Chi changed his clothes and asked Eunuch 께놇 to arrange the dishes. He said, "It smells very fragrant. What are they eating?" As he said this, he came out from behind the screen.

The eunuch said: "It's wontons, steamed buns, and some snacks. They are all ordinary things. I thought they would be some special food. It turns out that the General's Mansion doesn't care about the general manager."

Manager Chi glanced at him.

께The eunuch has been serving Manager Chi. He can guess a lot of Manager Chi's thoughts with just one look from Manager Chi: "Manager, don't you think so?"

The manager of the pool sat down, drank a few sips of warm water, then picked up a pair of chopsticks and said, "It tastes pretty good."

께When the eunuch saw this, he became even more confused. When I was in the palace, the steward was also a distinguished person, and his food was no worse than those of the nobles in the palace.

After the food manager took a bite of wontons, he picked up a piece of red bean cake and ate it. The red bean cake with a slightly milky flavor tasted better. Manager Chi ate two pieces in one go. "This thing is the same as 그. Some 그 are too thoughtful and have two meanings in a sentence. Although the words sound nice, you will feel very panic when interacting with this kind of 그. It's the same with things. Thoughtful things are out there. Why worry about not being able to buy it? But this may not be 그’s true intention.”

The eunuch shook his head: "I don't understand this." In his palace, there were also people who liked good things. They all used money to do things, and whoever gave him more money was judged by who looked good. In the past, Manager Chi was like this, but why is it happening now?

The food manager didn't talk nonsense to him. He ate something to cushion his stomach and then went to sleep.

Compared to Manager Chi, Wei Ting's side was quieter. He got off duty late, and the only things prepared in the kitchen were wonton dumplings and the like, which was very common.

Yang Haiyan took the imperial edict and asked Qin Fang in confusion: "Why did the emperor issue such an imperial edict? What about you, my husband? What did the emperor reward you?"
