Chapter 132: Yan Shaoting's boasting (Subscription Request)
Xu Wei's eyes turned red almost instantly.

It was obvious that Yan Shaoting was granted the same Jinshi degree today.

But in Xu Wei's heart, he was more excited than when he passed the imperial examination.

If there were no outsiders present.

This Xu Wenqing must have jumped into the pool nearby with joy.

Lu Yi, who was standing in the pool, was also surprised. He quickly climbed out of the water and put on his clothes in a hurry.

As for Huang Jin's shout, it naturally also reached the pool where the women were staying behind the bushes in front.

The beautiful girls disappeared.

Behind the bushes, there was the sound of someone getting dressed.

During this time, there was also the anxious voice of Lu Wenyan, who was usually steady.

As for the person involved, Yan Shaoting did not move or say a word throughout the whole process.

But his chest kept rising and falling.

He is a fellow Jinshi!
Although he has no official position or rank.

But at this moment, there was no such thing as a reader in the Hanlin Academy, or a deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, or a doctor in the Zhejiang Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Only this background is the most important.

Yan Shaoting's face was tense and he tried to remain calm, but his heart was boiling with rage.

And Xu Wei's low but heavy roar still lingered in his mind and heart until this moment.

Looking at Huang Jin, who was smiling and holding the imperial edict in his hand, getting closer and closer to him.

Yan Shaoting's heartbeat became faster and faster.

From now on.

He could also call himself a disciple of the emperor.

And in the court, there will be no more constraints that can prevent him from entering the cabinet one day and becoming a member of the power center of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Prime Minister!
"Reader Yan."

"Mr. Yan!"

Although Huang Jin was honest, he was not a fool. He walked up to Yan Shaoting with the imperial edict in his hand and called out "Jinshi Yan" to everyone's expectations.

around.

The children immediately burst into cheers.

In the Changping Academy which is about to be built, all the children will know what a Jinshi is.

Behind the bushes.

Lu Wenyan's face turned pale, full of shock and joy, and she covered her mouth tightly with her hands.

If it weren't for the sisters supporting her on both sides, she would have fainted from joy.

A smile gradually appeared on Yan Shaoting's face.

This was the first time he smiled from his heart since last winter.

Pure and clear, without any distractions.

Just like the clear spring flowing down from the mountain behind you.

He was about to speak when he suddenly saw a figure walking out silently from the direction of the academy.

He was Yang Jinshui, the eunuch who was formerly in charge of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Zhejiang Maritime Customs.

Yang Jinshui is getting thinner now.

But those eyes became brighter and brighter.

When Yan Shaoting saw Yang Jinshui suddenly appear, Huang Jin naturally saw him as well.

After a brief silence.

Yan Shaoting then looked solemn and bowed towards the direction of Beijing: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Huang Jin nodded with a smile and glanced at everyone present.

Lu Wenyan, who was being supported and had not yet walked over, started shouting without caring about her image.

"quick!"

"Providence! Tribute!"

"Put them all out in front of the statue of Master Kong in front of the academy!"

Following a shout from the young lady of the Yan family.

Everyone started to get busy in a mess.

Lu Wenyan came to Yan Shaoting trembling all over, and was held softly in Yan Shaoting's open arms.

Lu Wenyan raised her head, her eyes filled with sparkling tears: "Husband...husband, is...is a fellow Jinshi..."

Yan Shaoting nodded.

it is more than words.

Not long after.

In the other courtyards and Changping Academy, people were already busy arranging the offering tables and tributes.

Even the disaster victims in Changping who had been helping out at the academy, upon hearing that Yan Shidu had been granted the same Jinshi degree by the emperor, took out the bright red silk that had been prepared just for use after the academy was built, and hung them everywhere.

Look around.

There is a festive atmosphere surrounding the statue of Confucius in front of the academy.

This is an imperial edict issued by the emperor and known to the court. It is different from an oral order or an imperial decree.

Everything must be prepared according to the rules.

Everything around was chaotic and bustling.

Until Huang Jin held the imperial edict and announced it in front of the table.

Amid the piercing and noisy sound of firecrackers, Yan Shaoting gradually regained consciousness.

Lu Yi and the manager of the Yan family's Changping branch, with faces smeared red by no one, smiled and handed out hastily prepared red envelopes.

The children surrounded the statue of Master Kong, turning around in circles and shouting "Jinshi Yan, Jinshi Yan".

Huang Jin joyfully handed the imperial edict to Yan Shaoting.

But in just a blink of an eye, she was snatched away by Sister Lu, who brought a group of sisters with her, and went from the academy to the Yan family villa at the back, cheering.

Yan Shaoting looked embarrassed: "The woman is making a fuss, and Eunuch Huang is embarrassed."

Huang Jin shook her head repeatedly: "This is a truly great event. My master specifically told me this before I left the palace."

When the Taoist priest was mentioned, Yan Shaoting immediately nodded and bowed.

Huang Jin continued, "My master said: I haven't been in a good mood since the beginning of winter last year. It was you, Yan Runwu, who brought me good things and happy events to make me happy.

I have thought about it and found that there are only four great joys in life. Today I will give you, Yan Runwu, a great joy.

In the future, I hope this can become a good story between you and me as king and subject."

There are four great joys in life.

The wedding night, the day when one’s name is on the list of successful candidates, meeting an old friend in a foreign land, and rain after a long drought.

Huang Jin smiled and said, "Today, outside the West Garden, the magpies are singing. Your Majesty's decree is just like the spring imperial examination. Attendant Yan is the first-class champion in the palace examination! I have specially asked for your decree today to stay in Changping and have a glass of wedding wine with the champion."

"Drink!"

Yan Shaoting agreed with a heavy voice.

The whole of Changping was completely busy. Truckloads of food were transported to the academy.

The women began to set up big pots and cook sheep and chickens.

The wine and drinks were brought into the academy in jars, which only needed decoration.

The buffet was fully set up.

When the banquet was in full swing, Yang Jinshui silently appeared in front of Yan Shaoting and Huang Jin, holding a wine glass.

"I congratulate Mr. Yan for being granted the title of Jinshi."

Yang Jinshui was very polite. He said congratulations and then raised his glass and drank it all.

Yan Shaoting, who had no idea how many glasses of wine he had drunk, was not drunk at all. He drank the full glass of wine with his head tilted back.

Huang Jin was silently looking at Yang Jinshui from the side.

Yang Jinshui didn't care at all, she just said silently: "I am now punished to guard the imperial mausoleum, and I am a neighbor of the academy. When the academy is built in the future, I hope the tutor will agree, and I can also enter the academy to read a few books with the teachers.

I don't have any money, but when I was working for my master in the south, I got a few carts of books that I had never read in a day. They are not worth much money, so I'll consider them as my tuition to the academy."

Not the slightest bit of overstepping.

It seemed that Yang Jinshui was just trying to get the opportunity to study in the academy.

Yan Shaoting thought about it silently, then nodded and said, "Since Eunuch Yang is our neighbor, just come to the academy when you are free."

Seeing that Yan Shaoting agreed, Yang Jinshui toasted him with another glass of wine and then left quietly.

At this time, everyone at the table was drunk.

Huang Jin pulled Yan Shaoting to sit aside and whispered, "Reader..."

Yan Shaoting immediately raised his hand to interrupt: "If Eunuch Huang doesn't mind, just call me by my given name."

Huang Jin was a little surprised, but still tried to speak: "Runwu... I have something to ask. When do you plan to return to Beijing? Although the master didn't say, but... but I see that the master is waiting for you to return to Beijing."

This is unexpected news.

Yan Shaoting burped and tilted his head to let out a breath of turbid air: "At the beginning of the year, I asked the Spanish businessman Bo Fugui to go to Luzon to find something. Recently, I got news that he will soon enter the capital. I will wait until the things arrive and are settled, and then I will return to the capital."

Huang Jin was a little puzzled: "What could make you, Runwu, willing to wait here?"

Probably because of the alcohol.

Yan Shaoting also hoped to convey the message back to Xiyuan through Huang Jin.

He slapped his hands hard on his thighs.

"It is an auspicious sign that the yield per mu can reach more than ten dan!"

"Mr. Huang..."

"..."

Huang Jin is gone.

He had already requested permission to stay in Changping, but he disappeared without a sound.

No matter how true Yan Shaoting’s boast is.

But if there really is something that can produce more than ten stones per mu.

That must be a blessing from heaven!
Yan Shaoting stood up shakily and looked at the other person's leaving back.

A smile appeared on his face.

The academy is almost completed and the sweet potatoes are about to arrive.

What I am about to do has just begun.

He looked around and saw that all of them were the disaster victims in Changping at the beginning of the year. They had sincere smiles on their faces and were mumbling drunkenly, hoping that their lives would get better and better.

Yan Shaoting didn't know how to walk from the academy back to the villa behind it.

Wait for a dish of cool water to cover your head.

Raise your head again.

Only then did I wake up a little.

In front of him was Lu Wenyan with a flushed face.

Without any explanation, Yan Shaoting leaned sideways and was pulled to the bed by the elder sister.

"Madam, do you want to give me another happy occasion today?"

Yan Shaoting stared at the older girl with a smile on his face.

Lu Wenyan looked shy, pushed the man away, and then pulled the man over.

The two heads came together.

"My husband, is this really His Majesty's decree to grant you the same status as a Jinshi?"

"Could it be fake? Why is the seal on top a bit whitish..."

"Then my husband can become a minister in the future?"

"Of course. Who is your husband?"

"My husband is the most powerful man in the world!"

Bah.

With a muffled sound, Yan Shaoting pouted and his head was pushed away heavily.

Then there was a series of tinkling noises.

"Isn't this the golden house and jade that His Majesty gave you a few days ago?"

"Yes!"

"You put away the reward I gave you a few days ago. Why are you taking it out today?"

"No?"

"Of course Madam can take it out if she wants."

"Husband..."

"Ok?"

"Which one do you think is better, this golden hairpin or this big golden hairpin with flowers?"

"Of course it's the golden hairpin... the big golden hairpin with flowers looks great!"

"My husband is so smart! When the people in the city send me gifts tomorrow, I will wear this big golden hairpin with flowers!"

“Strange aesthetics…”

"Hmm? What did my husband say?"

"Ahhh... Your husband is saying that these worldly possessions are not as beautiful as your wife."

"My husband is the worst..."

"Ah I……"

"Uh huh huh..."

"..."

"You're pressing on me!"

"..."
