The winter warmth has arrived, and Mrs. Cao and Cao Xinyao came with all the servants in the house to receive the order.
In addition to commending Mr. Cao, the most important thing is to reward Dong Nuan.
The emperor was indeed generous and directly granted Dong Nuan a county title.
Lord of Zhuxin County.
This name is probably due to the paper, and the emperor specially gave it the word "bamboo heart".
Of course, there are still some differences between the royal and serious county heads. There is no fiefdom, but there are benefits that the county heads should have.
To put it bluntly, the emperor will give you money and glory, but he does not want to give you power and let you do whatever you want.
In modern times, they are honorary presidents, advisors and the like.
However, Dong Nuan feels that she is already very good. She started as the county head, which is much higher than many noble ladies.
In addition to the county title, there are also a large number of rewards.
It is actually not easy to transport various boxes of valuable fabrics, jewelry, gold, silver, ornaments, etc. from the capital to Liangzhou.
Although the warmth of winter came in a hurry, I heard that there was an imperial edict, so I asked Luzhu to prepare a reward in advance.
After the great eunuch read out the imperial edict, Mrs. Cao expressed her opinions, as did Dong Nuan.
"I can't do it, I can't do it, how can I let my wife and the county lord spend money?" The eunuch said that he couldn't do it, and put the money into his sleeves, smiling like a blooming dahlia.
"Mr. Wei has made such a hard trip, so I have to accept it." Mrs. Cao came out to socialize, but Dong Nuan didn't need to say anything.
After all, Dong Nuan was not familiar with these eunuchs from Beijing, so he just acted as a mascot ornament.
After the imperial edict was read out, Manager Wei had no other matters. He stayed in Liangzhou for one day and then returned to the capital.
Mrs. Cao naturally had to make arrangements here. When someone came from the capital, there would naturally be a local post house. Mrs. Cao specially sent someone to clean up the place and try to make the other party's stay more comfortable.
Don't underestimate these father-in-laws who hang out in the palace. They are close slaves to the emperor. Many general managers are more valuable and useful than lower-ranking officials.
After the arrangements were made, Mrs. Cao breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and looked at the imperial edict again: "It's great, Nuannuan is the county head now."
With the title of County Lord, it is considered as a name in front of His Majesty. Although he does not show his face, at least letting His Majesty know that there is such a person will give him more protection.
Although the Cao family can protect the winter warmth, winter warmth is not something that can only be found in the pond. If she goes to the capital in the future, if there are places that cannot be protected, she herself has the capital and confidence, which is also good.
Mrs. Cao was truly happy for Dong Nuan, and Dong Nuan also rejoiced.
After Mrs. Cao sighed for a while, she waved her hand and asked the kitchen to prepare a small banquet in the evening, and the family would gather together to have a meal as a celebration.
Of course, you have to hold a banquet, entertain other people, and announce your identity.
However, now that winter has entered, the weather is getting colder and colder, and Cao Xinyao is about to get married, and she is very busy with things at home and outside. Mrs. Cao really can't find time to hold a banquet.
She doesn't have time to show off, and she doesn't care about it. It's two different things.
So, after thinking about it, Mrs. Cao took Dong Nuan's hand and said softly: "Nuan Nuan, it stands to reason that for such a big happy event, we have to have a banquet to celebrate it properly, but Yaoyao's wedding is approaching, and I
We have to be busy here to get her married first, and then we can wait until her affairs are finished, what do you think?"
It doesn't matter if the winter is warm, this kind of thing doesn't need to be publicized, it can be spread within a few days.
Your Majesty suddenly made a county head personally, and also made a village girl the county head. Not to mention Liangzhou, other places may be curious and pay attention.
Dong Nuan's current thoughts are on the production of glass, and Cao Xinyao's marriage, and she has no other thoughts.
As soon as Mrs. Cao said this, she immediately nodded and said, "I listen to my adoptive mother."
Dong Nuan was so sensible that it made people feel distressed. Mrs. Cao sighed softly in her heart. She thought to herself that Dong Nuan was now the head of the county and could be regarded as a person of high status. How about she bring him with her when she returns to Beijing during the New Year?
superior.
I just don’t know if the Dong family can agree?
Cao Xinyao's wedding is scheduled for December. Dingzhou is a bit far away from Liangzhou. Nowadays, the carriages and horses are moving slowly, and they need to carry a lot of dowry, so the traveling speed on the road is expected to be very slow.
Therefore, they need to leave more than half a month before the wedding date.
After going to Dingzhou, you still need to make some preparations.
For example, some villages, fields, shops, etc., all need to be purchased in person. This is regarded as Cao Xinyao's dowry.
After all, we can’t pack the fields in Liangzhou and Beijing and take them to Dingzhou in boxes. This is unrealistic, so we can only buy them now.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cao had made arrangements early, and many of them had been purchased. She was just waiting for Cao Xinyao to go over and sign the deed directly and change it to her name.
Even so, my family has been very busy recently.
Dong Nuan is busy with something here, but he can't be of much help for the time being.
And she herself couldn't help much. Dong Nuan had already thought about adding makeup to Cao Xinyao's sister.
A set of glazed tea sets.
Get this done in advance and let Cao Xinyao take it away.
"Nuan Nuan, go and get busy. I know you have something serious to do recently." Mrs. Cao knew that Dong Nuan had been at the folk kiln recently, and she was miserable every day. She was also distressed, but there was nothing she could do.
Ask someone to make more muli cloaks and the like to help her keep out the wind and frost.
"Then I'm going, foster mother." Dong Nuan was really busy, rushing to put on makeup for Cao Xinyao.
Therefore, after answering the call, he retreated and rode away directly.
The carriage was still too slow. When Mrs. Cao heard what Aunt Xu said, her eyelids twitched and she sighed softly: "This child, Yaoyao said, Nuannuan wants to get a beautiful glazed tea set before she gets married, so Tian
Geniuses can rush like this."
At the end of the sentence, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but look at the gray sky outside, and murmured: "He is a sincere and good boy. Our Cao family has made money this time."
Dong Nuan no longer cares whether the Cao family makes money or not, she is busy.
Another three days passed, and Dong Nuan came up with a set of colorful colored glazes.
Not only that, but that kind of clean and transparent glass was finally made.
Although it is only a few small pieces, it proves that her set of ingredients is feasible!!!
Mr. Cao has been very busy recently. His daughter is getting married, he has to do a good job in reporting and summarizing the counties at the end of the year, as well as some plans for next year.
After all, I still need to return to Beijing to report my work at the end of the year. If I am not fully prepared, if I am scolded by the emperor, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of all the officials?
Although he was so busy, when he heard that Dong Nuan was making good progress, he was very pleased. Mr. Cao didn't care about anything else. He didn't even bother to change into his casual clothes. He wore an official uniform, covered his official hat and got into the carriage, and drove all the way.
Walked by.
"Where is it? Where is it?" After Mr. Cao came over, he staggered out of the carriage. He only had time to hold his official hat that was tilted off, and then rushed forward in a hurry.
