Chapter 229
"Ma'am, there are people coming from the palace, and I want the uncle to enter the palace immediately." The servant came in and reported.
Mrs. Liu stared blankly at the next person, and asked in surprise, "Someone came from the palace? Who is it?"
The servant leaned forward and said, "Mrs. Hui, this is Guard Han from the Imperial Guard Department."
Mrs. Liu straightened her back and asked, "A member of the Imperial Guard?"
The Imperial Guard Department in Daliang is by the emperor's side and is responsible for the emperor's safety.
The servant leaned forward and said, "Yes, madam!"
Mrs. Qian saw Mrs. Liu was so shocked that she only focused on asking questions, and reminded: "Qiao'an, hurry up and take a look, bring some money with you.
After being reminded by Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Liu came back to her senses, stood up quickly, and said as she walked outside: "Auntie, please sit down first, I will come as soon as I go."
A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Liu came back with a smile on her face.
Seeing her expression, Mrs. Qian smiled and asked, "Is it a good thing?"
Mrs. Liu nodded again and again, "Good thing, good thing, I came to inform Brother Jie to report to the palace."
Madam Qian's eyes lit up, and she asked a little excitedly: "Brother Jie is going to report to the palace, does that mean he is going to be a bodyguard in front of the imperial palace?"
Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's what the visitor said."
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Jiang congratulated Mrs. Liu.
"Madam, the imperial decree has arrived. The master asked Madam to change clothes quickly, and then go to the front yard to receive the decree." Before Madam Liu could sit down, the porter hurried in to report.
"Why is there still an imperial decree?" Mrs. Liu said a little at a loss.
Mrs. Jiang reminded: "Qiao'an, don't ask so many questions, hurry up and ask someone to wait for you to change clothes."
Mrs. Liu nodded again and again, "Yes, change quickly, thank you for your reminder. Aunt, please sit down for a while, I'm going to change."
Madam Qian waved her hand, "Hurry up and leave us alone."
Liu Qiao'an took two steps, stopped and asked, "Has someone informed Yu'er?"
The servant girl bent her knees and said, "Go back to Madam, someone has already informed Miss."
Mrs. Liu put on better clothes and led everyone to the front yard.
Xu Guanyu and Ning Wei knelt side by side behind Mrs. Qian, and when the servant finished announcing the imperial edict, Xu Guanyu asked softly: "Cousin, how old is the official walking in front of the imperial court?"
Ning Wei said in a low voice: "Fourth Grade."
Xu Guanyu's eyes widened in surprise, "A fourth grade?"
Ning Wei tugged at the hem of Xu Guanyu's clothes, raised his eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "Shh! Pay attention to etiquette!"
Xu Guanyu raised his hand to cover his mouth, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm so excited. My father worked hard for decades before he was promoted to the commander of the army and horse department, and he was only a fourth rank. It's only been a few years, brother. It’s the fourth grade. People really can’t compare with others, brother’s luck is simply too good.”
Ning Wei nodded with a smile and said, "The sage is wise, my cousin has both civil and military skills, and the future can be expected."
The news that Xu Guanjie received the imperial decree and was promoted to walk before the imperial court quickly spread in Beijing, and soon, many people came to Xu's mansion to congratulate him.
On this day, Baoping Lane was very lively.
Mrs. Qian and the others had lunch, sat for a while, then got up to leave.
Mrs. Liu sent Mrs. Qian and others to the second gate, and said apologetically: "Auntie, there are too many guests at home today, please forgive me if there are some places where the hospitality is not good."
Mrs. Qian said with a smile: "Our own family, there is no need to say such polite words. You hurry up to greet the guests, and we will talk about it another day."
Xu Guanyu was reluctant to leave Ning Wei, took Ning Wei's hand and said: "Cousin, I will come to Mingyuan to look for you sometime. How about it?"
Ning Wei replied with a smile, "Okay!"
"Yu'er, come here quickly, everyone is waiting for you." Ye Zhanyu shouted impatiently from the side.
Xu Guanyu looked back and said, "Come on!"
Ning Wei said: "Hurry up, let's meet again some other day."
When Ning Wei returned to Mingyuan, Hu Rui led four seventeen-eighteen-year-old girls to see her.
Everyone bowed their knees together, "Hi Miss!"
Ning Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered what Shi Jingyang said about picking people.
Ning Wei looked around for a while and said, "Hello, what's your name?"
The one on the right took a step forward and replied, "Miss Hui, your servant is pure."
The second one followed, "Your servant is like jade."
"Slaves are fine."
"Slaves can be contained."
Ning Wei repeated, "Ruoqing, Ruoyu, Fang Ke, Ke Han,"
The four bent their knees again and said in unison: "Yes."
Ning Wei nodded, and said to Hu Rui: "Sang Ye, take them down and settle down. Then take them to meet other people in the mansion and get familiar with the situation in the mansion."
Sang Ye bent her knees to respond, and said to the four: "You follow me."
After the four of them left, Zaohua asked: "Miss, didn't we just add people? Why did we buy people again?"
Ning Wei said casually: "The next step is to open a shop, you guys have too many things to do, and I don't have enough people around me."
When Zaohua heard that she was going to open a dim sum shop, she stopped worrying about getting in. She looked at Ning Wei with bright eyes, "Miss, do you really want to open a dim sum shop?"
Ning Wei nodded, "Yes, open!"
Since Ning Wei said last time that he wanted to open a dim sum shop, Zaohua has been looking forward to it.
These days Ning Wei didn't mention the dim sum shop, Zao Hua thought Ning Wei wouldn't open it.
Ning Wei said: "Go and tell Zhang Qin to come see me in the study outside."
Zaohua bent her knees in response, turned and went out.
Ning Wei turned around and went to the small study to take the documents listed last night, and went to the outer study.
Soon, Zhang Qin followed Zaohua to the outer study, and after entering the room to pay respects to Ning Wei, he asked, "Miss, are you looking for something small?"
Ning Wei nodded, pointed to the chair opposite the desk and said, "Please sit down."
After thanking Zhang Qin, he sat down and waited for Ning Wei's next words.
Ning Wei said: "I plan to open a pastry shop, here is what I listed, the required items, and the location of the shop.
Please help me find out how much money each of these places will cost if I choose these places to open a shop.
Help me to refer to where is more cost-effective to choose a shop. "
After hearing this, Zhang Mao asked Ning Wei a few questions, and then said, "I understand, I will give the document to Miss tomorrow."
Ning Wei nodded, "Thank you!"
After Zhang Qin left, Ning Wei called out, "Come here."
Zaohua came in at the sound, bent her knees and asked, "Miss, what's the matter?"
Ning Wei handed the list in his hand to Zaohua, "Give this to Chang Le, and let him buy the items on it."
Zaohua bent her knees to respond, turned and went out.
In Chengguo's mansion, after Wu Mingyi learned that Shi Jingyang was going to Ning's family to propose marriage, he locked himself in the house without seeing anyone.
Mrs. Cui looked at Mother Qiao who entered the room, and asked, "How is it? Has Miss Yi eaten?"
Mother Qiao shook her head, "Go back to the old lady, no. The maids said that after the eldest lady learned about the young cousin's marriage proposal yesterday, she locked herself in the room and would not open the door no matter who called her."
"No one can tell you not to open the door? This girl, she won't do stupid things, right?" Mrs. Cui asked worriedly.
