Dong Nuan on the other side, after being taken to freshen up, rested for a while and then went to attend the dinner party.
The dinner was a family banquet, so I adapted well to the winter warmth and didn't feel awkward or restricted.
The more down-to-earth and generous she is, the more the Cao family feels that the little girl is stable and has a good temper, and the more they like her.
The fate between people is probably like this sometimes.
Even at the beginning, the Cao family may have had a good impression of Dong Nuan because of various interests, but now they are conquered by her personal charm.
After dinner, the old lady held Dong Nuan's hand and talked for a while.
It's just that the old lady is old and can't keep up with her energy. She got tired after talking for a while.
It just so happens that in the warm winter, the journey is tiring and we need to rest early.
After all, I have to go see His Majesty tomorrow.
Therefore, Dong Nuan also went to bed early.
The next day, it was a rare nice winter day, and the sunshine was pretty good all morning.
Dong Nuan got up early and went to say hello to the old lady and Mrs. Cao, then had breakfast with the old lady and chatted for a while.
Then, a carriage came outside the mansion to take Dong Nuan into the palace.
Uncle Cao was very fast and the glass had already been presented.
His Majesty was very happy and surprised when he saw it.
Last time he acted generously and directly made Dong Nuan the county head. Naturally, it was because of the face of the Cao family.
But he didn't expect that the county head he personally named would actually give him such a big surprise!
Especially when Uncle Cao said that the glass is not only for decoration, it can also replace their paper windows, so that the sunlight can be better. On a sunny day, the light in the house will only be better.
Moreover, you can also make a glass greenhouse in winter, but the bonding issue needs to be studied, and it cannot be built immediately.
All in all, it has many uses.
Your Majesty is not stupid, he understood it as soon as he heard it.
Then he was going to call Dong Nuan into the palace and ask him in person before he could rest assured.
Of course, getting closer to Dong Nuan is also what His Majesty wants to do.
You need to win over such a talented and capable little girl!
His Majesty summoned him, and Dong Nuan was naturally arranged to enter the palace quickly.
Even without Uncle Cao by her side, Dong Nuan is actually very calm.
She is a little monster who has already ascended. What hasn’t she seen?
Therefore, there is nothing to fear from the human emperor.
Moreover, His Majesty is still a very rational emperor now, so there is no need to be afraid of winter warmth.
She didn't do anything wrong.
After communicating with Dong Nuan, His Majesty was even more delighted: "I must reward the Lord of Zhuxin County well!"
His Majesty sighed one last time, but after sighing, he also felt that two letters in half a year were too fast?
Dong Nuan had just been granted the title of county head by the Jin Dynasty not long ago. Now he is directly appointed as the county head. Is it too fast?
Although it is said that winter warmth is worth it, and winter warmth is worthy of it.
However, the emperor still had many things to consider.
Compared with false fame, the emperor felt that the little girl probably needed some real things more.
So, after thinking about it, he directly asked the inner court to choose a house.
The matter of being granted the title of princess in Jin Dynasty can wait until the little girl makes other contributions later. There can be a house in the capital.
Of course, you can’t lose money on rewards such as silver.
After all, the papermaking business has made a lot of money for both your Majesty's private and national treasury. Now, even if you are given some rewards, Your Majesty will not feel bad.
Your Majesty has always been decisive and generous.
After thinking about it, he directly waved people to draft the edict. As for the location of the house, as soon as the inner court heard that His Majesty was in urgent need of it, they sent several suitable locations for the house that night.
When Dong Nuan returned home to rest, His Majesty was choosing a house.
"This place is not good. Prince Rong originally intended to rebel. This house is unlucky."
"This place is not very good. The location is not good. The house chosen by Hou Xijing in Nanping was also biased. The girl is young and likes liveliness the most. How can this be allowed?"
…
Your Majesty spent a long time choosing, but was not particularly satisfied with any part of it.
In the end, I picked an old house that had been vacant for many years. It was a house that the late emperor had given to a top scholar when he was still sane.
Later, the late emperor was confused, so the scholar went to another place to take up his post, and died in office not long after.
The house is very big, and the former number one scholar lived there. Your Majesty has heard that Dong Nuan's fiancé is a student. I think that such a house sounds auspicious, and the little girl should be satisfied.
In addition, this house is located in Qingzhufang, not far from the Cao Mansion. The two families are close to each other, and they live closer to each other, so they can take care of them in time.
His Majesty selected the place and the reward was delivered the next day. In addition to the house, he also gave twelve slaves. At the same time, he also signaled the Ministry of Works to send people to repair Dongnuan's new yard.
In addition to this, an additional thousand taels of silver reward and a box of jewelry fabrics were added.
His Majesty will not reward you with any fancy things. He is very clear-headed and knows what a little girl like Dong Nuan probably needs more.
Those ornaments, wishful things, etc., you give to the little girl, but she has no use, and she doesn't dare to exchange them for money, so she might as well just do it.
The action of making money is simpler than anything else.
Now that the reward has been given, Your Majesty has to get some benefits.
Therefore, on the third day after the reward was given, I ordered someone to take Dong Nuan to the Ministry of Industry to make glass.
Although it is said that the New Year is approaching, His Majesty is diligent in his work. He does not think there is anything wrong with celebrating the New Year. He is more concerned about the common people in the world.
So rest?
That's impossible.
Come and work for me!
Dong Nuan was a little girl who had just joined the Ministry of Industry. His Majesty was afraid that she would not be suitable, so he specially promoted Cao Cheng, the eldest son of the Cao family, who was originally the deputy of the Ministry of Industry and an eighth-rank official.
Now that he was directly mentioned to the seventh rank by His Majesty, he could still be promoted despite having no merit. It can be said that Caocheng took advantage of the warmth of winter.
It happened that someone in the Ministry of Works had retired, so His Majesty adjusted the personnel and brought Cao Cheng up.
Although it is said that from the eighth grade to the seventh grade, it is only a first-level change.
But Caocheng is still young, and there are endless possibilities in the future.
Many people at his age may not have even scratched the surface of becoming an official yet.
Cao Cheng was specially chosen to come here, bringing Dong Nuan with her. Even though other people in the Ministry of Industry had some thoughts, they looked down on a little girl.
But His Majesty personally issued an order, how dare they not listen?
Of course, now that the Ministry of Works has been activated, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot remain idle either.
After all, making glass requires materials and money.
If the Ministry of Accounts does not disburse money at this time, when will it be disbursed?
The Minister of Household Affairs wanted to shamelessly say, "Your Majesty, I have no money."
As a result, His Majesty didn't give him a chance at all. Even if he had no money, he sold the minister and had to raise the money.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance just habitually cried about poverty, but it was not that he really had no money.
Therefore, when His Majesty said he wanted to sell him, he honestly paid him.
