Zhang Chengwang originally wanted to change his clothes, but he was afraid of wasting time and keeping the nobles waiting, so he gave up in the end.
Anyway, noble people appreciate talent and learning, not gorgeous clothes.
Before moving to the city, being able to make a big splash would be enough to dissipate the accumulated bad breath in his chest. He wished that the opponent's formation would be as big as possible, so that the blind villagers would know what they had missed.
Especially this time, Yao Zhixian came with him. The other party turned a blind eye to him last time, and he might make him unable to reach his heights in the future.
The regretful look of Yao Zhixian appeared in his mind, and an intoxicated smile appeared on his face.
"Brother, it's time to go out. Listen, the guard of honor is getting closer and closer!" Zhang Wanli reminded his elder brother.
Zhang Chengwang came to his senses and secretly told himself that he had to hold on tight.
"you're right."
When he walked out of the house, as soon as he opened the door, he could see the honor guard his brother mentioned.
After seeing clearly the official uniforms worn by the guards who opened the way, Zhang Chengwang's heart almost jumped out of his throat. Good guy, judging from the official uniforms they were wearing, these guards were at least eighth grade.
Being able to afford an eighth-grade bodyguard, this noble person's status is probably higher than that of a magistrate. It's no wonder that Yao Magistrate came here in person.
He stood at the door, and when the honor guard was still ten feet away from him, he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his eyes shining with anticipation. This would be his most glorious moment in twenty years.
As the honor guard got closer and closer, Zhang Chengwang couldn't help but show a graceful smile, "I am Zhang Chengwang, I don't know which nobleman he is -"
Before he finished speaking, the guard at the front of the team frowned when he saw someone blocking their path carelessly, raised his sword at Zhang Chengwang, and said coldly: "Get out of the way, don't block the way.
."
What's going on with this stupid young man? He looks like a scholar, but he has no etiquette at all. The other villagers in Lushan Village know not to stand in front of them. At most, they can only watch the excitement on both sides of the road. It's better for him.
Standing blankly in the middle of the road. Apart from anything else, the road in Lushan Village is really easy to walk.
Captured by his momentum, Zhang Chengwang couldn't help but take several steps back and almost bumped into Zhang Wanli.
He looked puzzled, he didn't come here to look for him? Then he looked for Yuan Suijun?
How could it be Yuan Suijun? Doesn’t this noble man have eyesight?
Zhang Chengwang was envious and jealous, looking at the long guard of honor with a pale face. He saw a man with a white face and no beard sitting on a tall horse in the middle. He was wearing an official uniform symbolizing the fifth rank.
Zhang Wanli was also in disbelief and blurted out, "Are they going to find Yuan Suijun?"
In this case, wouldn't Yuan Suijun have to overpower their family again? They are also the younger brothers of scholars, and Zhang Wanli's status in the village is far inferior to that of Yuan Suifeng.
"Brother, who are they?"
Zhang Chengwang shook his head and said in despair: "I don't know either."
The scene just now greatly stimulated him, making him want to dig a hole and bury himself in it.
Many villagers saw this scene and pointed at Zhang Chengwang.
"Isn't this scholar a scholar? Why is he blocking the road even though he knows less etiquette than us? Doesn't he know the principle of a good dog not blocking the road?"
"I think he thought these noble people came to see him. He is too pretentious. His moral character and character are not worthy of the noble people coming here in person."
"That's right, as soon as I saw them, I guessed that they must be going to the Yuan family."
These villagers had no intention of lowering their voices. Their voices penetrated Zhang Chengwang's ears, making him even more ashamed.
asshole!
Maybe Yuan Suijun offended the noble man, and the noble man came to settle the score. Before the matter was clear, these untouchables couldn't wait to take advantage of the Yuan family.
In his heart, he wished he could scold these people over and over a hundred times, but his feet seemed to have a consciousness of their own, following behind the honor guard like the other villagers.
He saw the honor guard finally stop in front of Su Yueling's house.
The official sitting on the tall horse jumped down from the horse with a gentle smile, his voice sounded a little thin, and he said to the frightened old man Sheng at the door: "The Sa family has come to issue the decree on the orders of the saint.
Please also ask Su Yueling to come out to receive the order."
He was Geng Hai, the chamberlain specially sent by Emperor Rong Ji to convey the imperial edict.
Generally speaking, before the imperial edict arrives, people will be informed in advance, so that they can set up the incense table and be ready to receive it. But this is not the capital. It would take them three days to ride a horse to get here from the capital.
With three nights, there was really no time to notify in advance.
Besides, Su Yueling is just a commoner, so even if there is a lack of etiquette, the saint will not care.
Magistrate Yao said with a pleasant look: "Go quickly and ask your wife to come out to receive the order. This is a gift from Your Majesty. Sir Geng is an angel sent by Your Majesty."
Old Man Sheng had also met Yao Zhixian, and when he saw his expression, he knew it must be a good thing.
Oh my god, the saint actually wanted to reward his wife!
He ran in quickly.
Zhang Chengwang felt as if Tianling Gai was hit hard with a hammer. This blow almost knocked his soul out of his body. His whole mind went blank and he murmured: "No way, how could it be her?"
He was greatly aroused when he heard the word "Issue" and was extremely jealous of Yuan Suijun. He didn't know what he had done to attract the attention of the superiors. Who knew that this edict was actually issued to Su Yueling?
As Su Yueling, who likes to be famous and is not virtuous at all, how can she deserve it?
His heart felt like it was being bitten by ten thousand ants. Zhang Chengwang felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to rush to the waiter and ask him if he was wrong.
The people in the village were also shocked.
"You're actually looking for Yueling?"
"Do even saints know about Yueling? Yueling is really powerful."
Someone with a quick mind has already guessed a thing or two, "Is it because of the spinning wheel? I heard that the spinning wheel has spread to the state capital."
"Not only that, other states are imitating our spinning wheel."
Yao Zhixian listened to the villagers' discussion with a happy smile on his face. Su Yueling's contribution was not only the spinning wheel, but the spinning wheel alone would not work for His Majesty's chamberlain. Some time ago, he received a letter from a friend in the capital, saying that it was that
The glutinous rice puree has become so popular that many roads in the capital have been paved. Moreover, the saint has issued imperial edicts to use this glutinous rice to renovate the embankments in the North Lake area.
Su Yueling has really reached the sky in one step this time. Who would have thought that a township gentleman would appear in this small Guangning County!
However, he has benefited from this this time. When this term of office expires, he is likely to go further.
Thinking of this, the smile on Yao Zhixian's face became more sincere, and he felt that when the time came, he could let his wife Duoduo walk around with this newly minted country gentleman.
