Chapter 21 Receiving the Emperor's Award

The next morning, Tian Minyan walked out of the house and saw a magpie sitting on the pomegranate tree outside the door, chirping happily.

"Mom, I just saw a magpie calling on our pomegranate tree." During breakfast, Tian Minyan said to Luo Shi and others with a smile.

"Really?" Luo Shi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The crow of magpies means good things are coming. I'm afraid something happy is coming to our family."

Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled and said, "Of course it's true."

"Could it be that our family is getting rich?" Xiao Wu laughed so hard that his eyes were bent.

"You're so big, eat quickly, you have to go to town school later." Tian Minrui tapped his forehead.

Xiaowu made a face and picked up the rice obediently.

Tian Huairen looked on from the side and smiled, as if the gloominess of yesterday had been cleared away a lot.

The family was talking happily. Butler Lin came over and said that the old man was here. Tian Minyan and the others froze their hands and looked at Tian Huairen.

Tian Huairen was a little embarrassed, put down his chopsticks and said, "You guys eat, I'll go out to see what's going on." After that, he walked out.

Tian Minyan and the others looked at each other, their expressions were indifferent, and there was no sign of any joy or anger.

The old man stood in the front yard and looked at the various scenes of the house. He sighed, heard the sound of footsteps, and turned around quickly. When he saw Tian Huairen, he suddenly smiled.

"The third child..."

"Dad, why are you here? Have you had breakfast?" Tian Huairen asked quietly.

"After eating, I just came to say goodbye to you, and I plan to go back to Henghe." The old man said with a smile, then looked behind him and asked: "How many children are there?"

"They are all having breakfast. Brother Rui and the others are going to school later." Tian Huairen asked the old man to sit down in the wing of the courtyard.

"Okay, okay, Brother Rui and the others seem to have a bright future. If you provide for them well, you might be able to get the top spot in the exam in the future." The old man said with a comforting look.

Tian Huairen smiled and said: "As long as you can read a few big characters, you can know books, know etiquette, and understand principles. The other things are not important."

The old man was stunned for a moment, a little dazed. This third child, who was usually silent, could be so broad-minded. After all, he had seen a lot.

He looked at his face carefully, trying to find out if there was any trace of yesterday's displeasure, but he couldn't see it no matter how hard he looked, so he said: "Third brother, don't worry about what happened yesterday. Your mother has pushed it aside, and there will be no trace of it in the future."

This won't happen again. Don't worry about it either. Your mother is a bitch and doesn't deserve to be angry."

Tian Huairen lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Dad, what are you talking about? How can I be angry? Although the marriage is ordered by the parents, Yan Yatou also has big ideas for her own marriage. Don't tell others, it's me and

Her mother, I’m afraid she can’t even make the decision.”

The old man was startled and wanted to ask for more information, but he was hesitant and finally said: "That's it."

The two fathers and sons were relatively speechless for a moment. Facing Tian Huairen's silence, the old man's heart sank as if a weight had fallen on him.

I finally found a place to talk, and just as I was about to speak, there was another rush of footsteps outside.

"Master, master..."

Tian Huairen immediately stood up and walked to the door, and the old man followed him.

"Steward Lin, what's wrong?" Tian Huairen stepped out.

"Sir, there are government guards outside, saying yes, there is an imperial edict coming from Beijing." Butler Lin was so excited that his voice trembled.

"What?" Tian Huairen was shocked and couldn't care about the old man anymore. He hurriedly said: "Go and invite the second girl over. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing."

The old man was also stunned, imperial edict?

Tian Minyan was stunned when she got the news. She first prepared a thick red envelope and hurriedly walked out of the house.

"Brother, I don't know about the imperial edict..." Tian Minyan put the red envelope into the hand of the horse-riding yamen guard and asked with a smile.

The yamen guard pinched the red seal in his hand, smiled and rolled his eyes, and said: "Miss Tian, ​​it's a good thing to prepare the altar table. The imperial edict will arrive in another hour."

Tian Minyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, thanked her again and again, and hurriedly ordered the servants at home to prepare the desk.

Naturally, the old man heard it. He was happy and a little complicated at the same time, but in the end he was more excited. He rushed back to his old house and ordered his journey back to Henghe to be slow. After all, receiving the imperial edict was an unprecedented honor.

An hour soon came, and the sound of gongs and drums came from far away from the entrance of the village, mixed with the voices of people. Tian Minyan and her family had no fame, so they wore big clothes and makeup and waited at the door of their house.

All the people from the old house came, following Tian Huairen and the others, standing on tiptoe and looking around.

"Coming, coming." Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Tian Minyan looked over and saw that the leading man in red with a pale face and no beard was a eunuch. The people who came were also Magistrate Wen County and Magistrate Zheng...

"The imperial edict has arrived, kneel down..." The eunuch came to the front, led by Tian Minyan and Tian Huairen, followed by a crowd of people who knelt down to listen to the edict.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that Tian Huairen, a good citizen of Qingping County, has won my heart because of his merits in developing a new crop of potatoes, so he is bestowed with 100 acres of fertile land, 100 taels of gold, and a lucky house in Qingzhou...I admire this."

Tian Minyan and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. This was great news. It was more than a level above last time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor." The voice of thanking En was so loud that it was deafening.

Tian Huairen took the imperial edict with trembling hands. When he stood up, he could not stand firmly and almost fell. Fortunately, Tian Minrui had quick eyesight and quick hands to help him.

The eunuch who delivered the order was the same one who came back last time. He also smiled happily and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Tian."

"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. Please come in to have tea and have a rest." Tian Huairen said excitedly.

The father-in-law smiled and nodded. Tian Minyan hurriedly asked Tian Huairen and Tian Minrui to take people in to rest and talk with them. She took care of the rest. The old man and Tian Huaide also hurriedly said that they would help greet people and follow them in.

Tian Minyan didn't stop her much, after all, many people were watching.

"Second girl, congratulations." People in the village congratulated one after another.

Tian Minyan smiled and said generously: "I will spread the wedding money later, and everyone will come to enjoy the happiness." I also spread the wedding money last time, but this time it was even higher, and the wedding money was doubled.

As soon as she said these words, the crowd immediately burst into cheers, congratulations and compliments as if they were free of charge, and they laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their teeth.

Jiang was squeezed into the back of the crowd. Seeing those individuals offering sacrifices to Tian Minyan like Buddhas, she vomited. When she heard Tian Minyan said that she wanted to give away wedding money, her eyes turned green. This girl was a prodigal!
