The villagers all looked at the Xu family with puzzled faces. The emperor came to announce the decree no matter what the Xu family did.
Why does it have to be a good thing? Because if it is a bad thing, it is the prison car that comes.
As soon as the Xu family heard what Zhao Jin said, they hurriedly closed the door of the workshop and went home to prepare for the order.
An hour later, everyone in the Xu family who had packed up stood at the gate eagerly looking forward to it. There were also two rows of people standing in front of the Xu family's gate.
Suddenly there was a sound of horse hoofbeats. Everyone heard the sound and ran away. Xu Yunjin was a little surprised to see the man on the horse. Why was it him?
Yuan Xuan didn't know that Xu Yunjin had done so many things. It had already been more than two months since we were separated in Chenyu County.
When Yuan Xuan returned to Beijing and entered the palace, he happened to meet Imperial Master Zhao and the emperor discussing Xu Yunjin's affairs. Yuan Xuan secretly said a few good words to Xu Yunjin, asked for some extra rewards for Xu Yunjin, and took the pass.
The matter of the imperial decree came to Jiujiang.
"Xu..."
Yuan Xuan turned over and dismounted, and the people behind him also stopped. Yuan Xuan took the imperial edict from Yuan Bao and declared:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict. I heard that the Xu family has a daughter named Yun Jin. She is young, has excellent medical skills, is gentle and kind, and is willing to do good. During the migration, she treated villagers who were seriously injured and on the verge of death. She also sprayed pesticides for the villagers free of charge. The prescription for pest control will be provided later.
I am deeply gratified that I have selflessly dedicated my work and suturing skills to the people of Qi. I specially ennoble Xu Jiayunjin as the Lord of Wenle County, a plaque of the doctor’s benevolence, a principal mansion in Fucheng County, Jiujiang County, a Sanjin Courtyard in Yongding County, and 300 acres of fertile land.
, three hundred taels of gold, and ten pieces of cloud brocade, I hereby express my gratitude..."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."
None of the Xu family expected that the first person in their family to become an official would be Xu Yunjin, who was only eight years old.
The Xu family thought that the biggest reward for Xu Yunjin's small contribution would be some money, but they didn't expect that they would also be granted the title of county head.
What they didn't know was that this was not only a reward for Xu Yunjin, but also a battle between the emperor and the prime minister's faction. The court had been arguing for a long time over the title of Xu Yunjin as the county head.
In the end, Emperor Qi Kang angrily asked those who opposed him in the court who had Xu Yunjin's ability and ambition. If not for the false reputation of a county lord, he could even be a marquis and a duke.
"Ping Sheng, the Holy One said that anti-insect medicine and suturing techniques are very important to the people of Daqi, especially suturing techniques. I don't know how many lives of border officers will be saved in the future. Therefore, the head of Wenle County can afford this reward, and the imperial court arranged for him to learn from it.
The people who specialize in suturing are all in that house in Yongding County, and the plaque is also hung in that house. Lord Wenle County can take a look when he has time."
After Yuan Xuan announced the decree, he looked at the Xu family who were a little stunned and explained, and quietly glanced at Xu Yunjin.
"Congratulations to the county lord. After announcing the decree, we will leave first. We will pick up the county lord to take him to the county house another day."
Yuan Xuan wanted to say a few words to Xu Yunjin, but there were dirty things in the team, and it was not appropriate for others to know about his interactions with the Xu family at this time.
He would stay in Jiujiang for a while, and his master sent him a letter saying that he had met two good young people in Jiujiang and wanted to take him as his disciple, and asked him to go with them tomorrow to meet them, so that his family would not recognize them in the future.
"Congratulations, brother Xu, your family has a county head who has been personally sealed by the Holy Emperor. Jin Yatou, ah, no, now you are the head of Wenle County. Hahaha, you really gave the anti-insect medicine to the court, and you still
Do you want to teach them suturing?"
After Xu Danian and others saw the edict-delivery team leaving, they approached Xu Yunjin with happy faces and asked.
"Pfft, Grandpa Village Chief, you should call me Jin Yatou from now on. I did give the prescription to the county magistrate when I was in Chenyu County and sent it to Kyoto.
As for suturing, if there are children in the village who want to learn, they can send them there, but they must be literate, and it is best to learn medicine with Grandpa Luo for two years to have some basic knowledge."
Xu Yunjin didn't want anyone to call her county boss every day. Among all the rewards, her favorite was the plaque showing the doctor's benevolence.
That represents the recognition of her by the most powerful person in this dynasty, even though the current situation of this leader is not very good.
"It's just that, you all grew up watching Jin Yatou, and it will be the same as before in the future. But don't call her County Lord, it sounds weird and unpleasant."
Mr. Xu was also afraid that the villagers would distance themselves from Xu Yunjin because of his sudden change of identity. They were all villagers who had experienced life and death together. There was no need for that. What was before would remain the same in the future.
"Today our tofu workshop opened, and the Lord Longen granted my family Ah Jin the title of County Lord. In the evening, remember to bring your family to the workshop. Tonight, we will make a tofu feast for everyone in the village to celebrate."
Mr. Xu asked Xu Wu to take people to buy vegetables, while Zhang and others went to the workshop to make tofu.
The beans were soaked last night, and now that there is a donkey-pulled mill at home, there are still a few hours until dark, so I can make a few pots of tofu in time to eat in the village.
"What's going on? Why are you here to remind us when the decree is almost here?"
After everyone at the door had left, everyone in the Xu family returned to the main room. Xu Wen took Zhao Jin and Xu Yunqing into the study.
If the person who announced the decree came, not only would their family be unprepared, but they would also be dirty from work.
To put it mildly, it means that a mud-legged person is ignorant of etiquette. At worst, it means that he despises the Holy Power. No matter what kind of rumors, it is not good for his family.
"The news coming from the capital was probably intercepted by Mr. He's people and we didn't receive it. Our people didn't know until the person who sent the message arrived in Fucheng.
Fortunately, the person who came to deliver the edict was Yuan Xuan, the eldest princess and the son of Duke Jing, the sister of the current Holy Emperor. We sent someone to deliver the message to him and asked him to hold off the edict team, so I rushed over quickly to inform you."
Zhao Jin also looked angry when talking about this incident.
He Xiang and his party could not stop the Holy Emperor from rewarding Xu Yunjin, but they were able to ruin the reputation of the Xu family in some trivial matters.
Huh, I usually think of myself as a scholar, but who knows how to do obscene things.
Xu Wen and Xu Yunqing didn't look very good. Their family and the Prime Minister's faction were bound to be on opposite sides.
But I didn't expect to receive the opponent's letter of challenge so soon. It seems that they must hurry up and become stronger, and cannot be treated as soft persimmons.
"Ah, Yuan Xuan has such a high status. I thought he was a descendant of the old general Xiang's family."
When Xu Wen and others returned to the main room from the study, only Xu Yunjin was left holding the gold and couldn't put it down. She was a little surprised when she heard Zhao Jin say that Yuan Xuan was the son of the eldest princess.
"Ah Jin knew Yuan Xuan before?"
Zhao Jinmin Rui grasped the key points of Xu Yunjin's words.
"Yes, it's him..."
Xu Yunjin almost revealed that Yuan Xuan was the culprit who revealed Zhao Jin's identity.
Fortunately, she suddenly remembered that Zhao Jin had been asking who told Xu Wen before and stopped the car.
"Hehehe, I saw him at the Chenyu County government office."
Xu Yunjin winked at Xu Wen and his son, and Zhao Jin looked at the three of them suspiciously, feeling that there was something strange about them, but he couldn't explain why.
At three o'clock in the morning, someone from the workshop came to call Xu Wen and the three of them. Because Zhao Jin was curious about what the tofu banquet was, he insisted on staying and eating and resting all night before returning to Fucheng.
Xu Wen took one look at him and knew why he didn't want to go back so soon. Wasn't it because he was afraid of his elder brother? In fact... he was a little afraid too.
"Wow...Uncle Xu, your tofu is so delicious, especially the Mapo tofu, which is spicy, smooth, and tender, and this one, which must have been fried and stir-fried. It's so delicious, so dip it in white water tofu."
The chili is also delicious.
There is also this cake made of bean dregs. I didn’t expect that the hard soybeans are full of treasures. Brother Xu, when will your tofu workshop start selling tofu? Can I order some for the house every day?"
Zhao Jin groaned while eating tofu. He had only eaten fried salted beans before. This was the first time he had eaten tofu made like this. It was so delicious that he had to eat it every day.
Eat them all.
I heard that the workshop would make a lot of soy products in the future, and he had a hunch that the soy products would sell well, so Zhao Jin quickly placed an order for himself.
Well, he did it to support Brother Xu’s family’s business, not to eat.
"Okay, I will go to the town to sell it tomorrow. I will ask someone to go to Fucheng to sell it. I will deliver it to you at the door of the house. Remember to explain it to the servants."
Of course Xu Wen is willing. Someone has placed an order before the store even opens. As expected of his good brother, he is loyal enough and can give him a discount. This chapter has been completed!
