"Oh, I thought the emperor's surname was Zhao, so I called him Zhao..." After hearing this, Lamei realized that she had made a mistake.
"And what's the point of appreciating this place? The emperor didn't come to Qiaotou Village in person, so why did he just say he's going to be here? Isn't that just lying with his eyes closed?" Lamei asked again.
"This means it's over, it's finished," Haitang said.
"Quiet..." Xiguan heard the muttering below and glanced at the female relatives. In this deserted village and shop, the female relatives don't know how to avoid the imperial edict. They really don't understand etiquette and are still bustling. Forget it, forget it, you can't
Get acquainted with them.
Haitang and Lamei stopped talking and lowered their heads. They had finished reciting the imperial edict, so why didn't they let Ping Shen go?
"Students receive the decree." Datong stepped forward with both hands and respectfully accepted the imperial decree that brought glory to the ancestors and brought glory to the entire Qiaotou Village.
"Everyone, please get up. Please ask the Number One Scholar for your support in the future." Xiguan helped Tian Datong up.
Others also got up one after another.
"Students should ask adults for more advice." Datong responded politely.
The sound of gongs and drums is getting louder and louder. This time it is absolutely true that Datong won the first prize! The neighbors and villagers clapped their hands. Although they are not from their own family, they belong to our Qiaotou Village. This time Qiaotou Village will become famous.
There is only one champion from dozens of families!
Everyone is happy!
I kept congratulating Datong, and it didn’t look like it was dark at all.
The two of them dragged their mother and put her on the bed to lie down. It's better for you, old lady, to sleep.
Datong was busy entertaining various celebrations.
First, the happy official and the two drummers and gongs were arranged to sit down in the best place in the courtyard.
Haitang asked Wintersweet to quickly prepare the best chrysanthemum and honey tea, and asked the mute girl to quickly clean up the two first-class guest rooms. In the guest rooms, pens, inks, paper and inkstones should be placed, self-paintings should be hung, refreshments should be placed, and a vase of flowers should be placed on the table.
Brand-new cloth was spread all around, and everything was ready.
Xiguan sat down and looked at everyone. His eyes kept scanning here and there, not knowing what he meant.
Brother Lamei helped lead the horse to the donkey shed and raised it with the Datong donkeys, providing them with good feed.
At this time, Haitang entered the dye house, took out four taels of silver, wrapped it in red cloth, and walked out.
"My lord, it's been a long and tiring journey all the way here. It's been a hard work. This is a little bit of kindness. Please accept it. You also know that our countryside is not rich, so please don't dislike it." After Haitang finished speaking, he handed the wrapped two taels of silver to Xiguan.
Seeing Yinliang, Xiguan stopped swiping his eyebrows and raising his eyes. He didn't expect that a female family member would be so knowledgeable and know etiquette.
"Then I won't be polite. Even though we are in a rural area, you are very polite. You must be the first lady." She likes to put silver coins in her sleeves.
"Your Excellency, that's a compliment." Haitang said with a smile.
At this time, Wintersweet brought over a pot of fine chrysanthemum tea. When it was placed in front of the table, the fragrance was already spreading...
"Well, the aroma is coming to my nose, it's such an idyllic scenery!" Xiguan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Even if you are from Beijing, you have never tasted something unique like this.
Lamei had never seen a high-ranking official, except for the county magistrates of more than a dozen villages, not even the county magistrates in the county and the county magistrates in the county, let alone those from the capital.
The hand she was holding the tea in was shaking...
Looking at Sister Haitang's calm posture and eyes, why is Sister Haitang not afraid? It's as if she has seen everything in the world and is not nervous or afraid no matter who comes.
