Because the rescuer was injured, Tian Minyan, who had planned to return to Qingping after attending the palace banquet, had to stay in Beijing and start raising pigs.
With Qi Shiqi around, the palace's secret medicine was used on her wounds one after another, and the emperor's rewards also came in. The medicinal materials came in carts and carts, and Tian Minyan's wounds scabbed over in a few days.
Regarding that assassination, Tian Minyan learned from Qi Shiqi that it was a remnant of the previous dynasty. It was really bloody. It seems that every novel has remnants of the previous dynasty, and the heroine also ran into it. She laughed at herself.
After lying there for a few days, the weather became colder and colder. Tian Huairen felt very sleepy and could not leave the house all day long. Tian Minyan knew that he was homesick. In fact, why didn't she? It was time to say goodbye.
On the sixth day after the assassination, Tian Minyan was bored in the room, playing chess with herself with white and black stones. Suddenly she heard the sound of rapid footsteps. She didn't even raise her head and said lazily: "What's the matter?"
"Girl, hurry up, the imperial edict is coming." Ziyi, Lan'er and others came in quickly. They didn't have time to take a bath and incense. They pushed her to the dressing table in a hurry. One person took the clothes and the other tied her hair and put on jewelry.
, one person cleans the face, the action is quick and refreshing.
After Tian Minyan finished dressing up, she was led to the gate. Qi Shiqi was already waiting there with everyone. After a while, the chamberlain arrived holding a bright yellow imperial edict.
After the case was cleared of smoke, the eunuch who announced the decree sang in a high-pitched voice: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Qingzhou Prefecture Tian Huairen's heart can be expressed, he is loyal to the country, and because he has contributed to growing cotton...he is specially named the uncle of Zhongxian County.
, enjoys the third-class salary, is given a residence in the uncle's mansion in Zhong County, a thousand taels of gold, and a hundred hectares of fertile land...comes to Beijing on a certain day. His daughter, Tian, has a beautiful face, has made meritorious service in rescuing the driver, is smart and astute...and is awarded the title of fourth grade.
The county king is named Huimin, and his wife is named a fourth-grade Gongren...I admire this!"
After reading the long words of the eunuch, everyone was dumbfounded. Tian Huairen stared at the eunuch with his mouth wide open, forgetting to receive the order. It was like being smashed by a huge pie!
"Uncle Zhongxian, please accept the edict." The eunuch held up the imperial edict with a smile.
Seeing this, Tian Minyan tugged on Tian Huairen, and then he came back to his senses and said incoherently: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Tian Minyan secretly rolled her eyes and could only thank her loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
Qi Shiqi shook his head and winked at Butler Song. The butler was also a shrewd man. He thrust the banknotes he had prepared into the waiter's hand and said with a smile, "Excuse me, father-in-law, I'll take this trip."
The waiter didn't even look at the amount of the banknote. Prince Xian was so favored by the emperor that he didn't even give him a reward. Seeing what Butler Song said, he hurriedly said: "Steward Song, you're welcome. This is the Sa family.
What should be done. Your Majesty, the Emperor asked you to go to the palace."
"I understand." Qi Shiqi said quietly with his hands behind his back.
The chamberlain laughed and said a few words, then left.
Tian Huairen stared blankly at the imperial edict in his hand, feeling as if he was in a dream. Uncle Zhong County, what kind of official is that? He is going to be an official?
Xie Chengzhong was so happy that he knelt down and paid homage to Tian Huairen and Tian Minyan: "I pay my respects to Mr. Zhong County and Mr. Huimin County."
As soon as he bowed, everyone behind him knelt down. In the entire courtyard, only father and daughter Qi Shiqi and Tian Huairen were standing.
Tian Huairen was so stupid that he couldn't tell the situation and was a little at a loss. Tian Minyan said: "Let's all get up and give a reward. Each person will be rewarded with one tael of silver."
"Thank you Huimin County Lord for your reward." The servants couldn't help but be happy. The monthly salary in Prince Xian's Mansion is not low, but the monthly salary of the third-class maids and servants is only a few hundred dollars. The county Lord's reward is one tael of silver, and the price is not low.
.
"Steward Song, those who serve the county prince and county uncle Zhong will be rewarded with one month's salary, and the others will be rewarded with half a month's salary." Prince Xian added another sentence, looked at Tian Minyan and said: "This is another reward from this king."
The servant was even more happy and thanked him hurriedly. Tian Minyan pursed her lips and smiled at him. Her eyes fell on the bright yellow imperial edict, with a hint of thoughtfulness in her eyes.
Not to mention that others found it incredible, she herself felt that the reward was huge, as if she was a nouveau riche who had won a special Mark Six lottery jackpot.
Little did she know that when the emperor gave this reward, there was a lot of controversy in the court. It was just a farmer with no foundation who planted cotton, and other experimental sites also planted it. It was really unfair to reward only one family.
Liang Hanting said at that time that the Tian family provided the cotton planting method and process. If it were not for the Tian family, they would not have been able to grow it in the Southern Kingdom. Moreover, the Tian family also grew the highest yield of cotton, as well as the previous rice fields.
Raising fish and potatoes are all things that benefit the country and the people. Giving an idle prince without real power can be regarded as comforting the people. As for other rewards, isn't it a big or small promotion?
This rebuttal left the objector speechless. Immediately afterwards, someone else jumped out and said, "Even if the Tian family has merit, Miss Tian, an unknown country girl, cannot hold the position of county king."
How could a lady from a famous family be like this?
After hearing this, Prince Xian stopped. He glanced at the person who spoke indifferently, and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly. This was the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was close to the Le family, and said: "As Master Tan said, it's just a mere person."
The name of the county king is actually not as important as the emperor’s life. Oh, it turns out that in Mr. Tan’s heart, the position of the county king is more important than the emperor!”
Her words were light and there was no anger at all, but she was so frightened that Lord Tan broke out in a cold sweat. He knelt on the ground with a thud and said in fear: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Please tell me for your Majesty's warning."
"Master Tan, don't be jealous. Who told your daughter to stay far away? But even if she is close, your daughter will never dare to rush forward to block the emperor's arrow." Prince Xian said again.
Mr. Tan's family has many daughters, but few of them are worthy of recognition. The only one who is better is a concubine. What the wise king means is that who told your daughter not to save the emperor? Who told you to have no one?
He is jealous of his brave daughter.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid." Mr. Tan was lying on the ground, trembling.
The ministers all knelt on the ground to admit their mistake, but the emperor would not hold on to it. He said a few words in a pretense, and sighed that if Lord Huimin hadn't blocked the arrow, he would not be sitting here safe and sound.
What this meant was that Lord Huimin was a great hero and a lucky star. If the officials didn't understand anything, they immediately knelt on the ground and said that the emperor was so blessed that he was so blessed, and the matter was revealed.
Mr. Tan, on the other hand, later heard that several shops in his family were suddenly short of supply, and two of them quickly closed their doors. When careful people inquired, they found out that it was Prince Xian's business that had cut off his family's supply.
, now everyone understands that the new Yungui Zhong County Bo and Huimin County Lord are protected by Prince Xian, and offending them is equivalent to offending Prince Xian.
Qi Shiqi went to the palace, and Tian Minyan and Tian Huairen returned to the courtyard. Now, the only people left in the room were their original servants.
Xie Chengzhong and the others knelt on the ground and worshiped again. Tian Minyan smiled and stood up, saying angrily: "Okay, come and worship, you are just trying to get more rewards."
"County Lord, this is a great blessing. We also want to get more blessings from County Lord and Uncle Zhong County." Xie Chengzhong said with a smile.
"You have the sweetest mouth. It's hard work for you to follow me. Each of you will be rewarded with two taels of silver." Tian Minyan glared at him and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your reward, Mr. Xie." Xie Chengzhong immediately hit him with another thousand.
Tian Huairen grabbed the imperial edict, opened it again, and stammered: "Nanny, is this real? How does it sound like a dream?"
"Of course it's true." Tian Minyan pinched him lightly and said, "Dad, does it hurt?"
"It hurts, it really hurts." Tian Huairen giggled, holding on to the imperial edict like a child. After laughing for a while, he asked: "Nanny, is this Zhong County uncle an official? How big an official is he?"
"This is not an official position, it is a title, but there is no real power. It is the reputation of an official and the third-class salary. It is also from the third rank." Tian Minyan smiled and replied: "Although there is no real power, there is a rank. Dad, those positions
Anyone with a lower status than you will bow to you."
"That's it!" Tian Huairen chuckled, paused and then said: "Then you choose a day to come to Beijing, do you want to live in Kyoto?"
"That's what the imperial edict says is correct." Tian Minyan nodded, asked him to sit down, thought for a while and said: "Since the imperial edict also said so, and the emperor also gave a mansion, dad, our family will definitely come to live in Kyoto in the future.
.”
Tian Huairen frowned and said, "What about the fields at home?"
"It's not like I'm just going to come here in a short while. The land in Yangmei Village must be managed well, and the land at home must be rented out. This is inevitable." Tian Minyan didn't think too carefully at once and just said: "Dad,
There is no rush for this, let’s plan it slowly. Now that the titles have been given and there is also a mansion, my daughter is thinking of going to the mansion first to check out a few things and then go home. What do you think?”
"Dad, I listen to you."
Tian Minyan looked at Tian Huairen who still hadn't come back to his senses, and she took her words back. Her father had been honest all his life, and suddenly he became a county magistrate. He still had to practice hard, otherwise there would be so many noble people in Kyoto.
Home, how can you adapt to it?
"Girl, no, Lord Huimin, the rewards from the palace are here, are they carried to the courtyard?" Ziyi came in from outside and said.
Tian Minyan stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go and see the rewards."
In the palace, Emperor Rende and Qi Shiqi were playing chess. The scent of tea was faint, and neither of them spoke.
"Are you satisfied now?" Emperor Rende said calmly without looking at him.
"She deserves this." Qi Shiqi stroked his chin with one hand, as if thinking about what to do, and held a round white zither in his other hand.
Emperor Rende choked, raised his eyes and glared at him, and said: "You got an advantage and acted like a good boy. One letter is from the Lord of Sanpin County. Who can have such a blessing?"
"Doesn't she have such a blessing?" Qi Shiqi dropped his head, glanced at Emperor Rende and said: "Blocking arrows with one's body and bravely saving the emperor, this is a blessing."
"You...hey." Emperor Rende sighed, looked deeply at the younger brother he had loved since childhood and said, "Seventeen, even if she is granted the title of county queen, she is of low birth, after all, you..."
"Fourth brother, firstly, I am not a prince who wants to inherit the throne, and secondly, I have no ambitions. I am just an idle prince. Why do I need a high-born prince? I have a high-born family and a lot of things to do. Among these nobles in Kyoto, none of my marriages are tied to
In terms of profit? What’s the point of a husband and wife sharing the same bed and having different dreams? My brother doesn’t ask for anything, he just wants to live this life comfortably, without restraint, with his wife and children on the bed.”
Hearing him call him fourth brother, Emperor Rende's heart softened, his eyebrows became gentler, and he said: "But, I have wronged you too much."
"Aggrieved?" Qi Shiqi put down the white child in his hand and said, "Fourth brother, apart from my background, I am not an ordinary person. She is better than you think."
"Hey..." Emperor Rende sighed and said: "You have planned for her, but I don't know if she is worthy. That girl is thirteen years old, and there are still two years until she reaches the age of hairpin. If she can achieve some more achievements,
, if I am promoted to a higher rank at the age of hairpin, I will not fall too far behind in terms of status."
"If my brother is willing, you can make her a princess in two days."
"Have you come back alive? The princess can just seal you off at your request? It's like buying vegetables at a big market, you can buy two at a time?" Emperor Rende glared and said angrily.
Qi Shiqi curled his lips and said with a smile: "Then add some more achievements."
Emperor Rende looked at his indifferent look and shook his head. If he hadn't known about this younger brother's temperament, would he have given in? He just hoped that the girl wouldn't let him down. Otherwise, what if someone disappeared?
When Qi Shiqi returned to the palace, he heard from the boy beside him that Lord Huimin was waiting for him in Nuange. He felt warm in his heart and said lightly that he understood, but walked over quickly.
When they came to Nuange, Tian Minyan was leaning on the couch by the window and reading a book. When she saw him coming, she stood up with a smile and said happily: "You are back."
You are back. It was as natural and harmonious as what a wife said to her husband. Qi Shiqi felt her heart swell. Looking at her gentle smile, her ears felt a little hot. She coughed and pretended to be straight.
He said: "My body is not well yet, so why bother reading? Take good care of yourself."
Tian Minyan smiled and let him take away the book in his hand, poured him a cup of tea, and the two sat on the couch with a small table in between. She glanced at him and asked, "Is it your idea?"
"What?" Qi Shiqi looked at her sideways.
"Given a title."
Tian Minyan said calmly, "It's not Qi Shiqi, no matter how great his contribution is, he wouldn't be able to get such a big award."
"That's what you deserve." Qi Shiqi saw that she seemed to be burdened and said, "The biggest thing in the world is not as good as the emperor's life. You saved him, let alone a county prince.
He deserves to be a princess, so don’t think about all the things that he has and doesn’t have."
Tian Minyan lowered her head and smiled, and said: "I didn't think about anything, I just felt like a nouveau riche."
"Nouveau riche?" Qi Shiqi was startled for a moment, then raised his lips and said, "There is indeed a bit of a resemblance."
Tian Minyan gave him an irritated look, and after a while she said: "I asked you to come here because I have something to say. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Now that everything is settled, it's time for me to leave."
