As the sunset illuminated the entire mountain village and the earth was a brilliant chrysanthemum yellow, Eunuch An, accompanied by Jiangchuan and Xiuwen, finally arrived at the gate of the mansion with the reward and the imperial edict.

Everyone stood respectfully on both sides and welcomed Eunuch An and his companions into the house.

The imperial edict, this is something that many people will never see in their lifetime. If you can see it once and participate in receiving the imperial edict, you will have something to brag about to your descendants for the rest of your life.

All I heard was a voice: "The imperial edict has arrived. Madam Yun, please accept it."

A huge crowd of people knelt down. The imperial power was supreme. Although I didn't want my knees to suffer, I knew that an egg like me couldn't touch a stone. Moreover, this wasn't a stone. It was harder than steel, harder than diamond steel! I knelt down obediently with everyone else. My knees touched the ground and hurt. I realized that I had forgotten something. Xiaoyanzi in Huanzhu Gege knew how to invent a crisp. Why didn't I think of tying something on my knees?

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Xiao Yun is a man of good character... He is rewarded with 50 taels of gold, acres of fertile land, rolls of silk, and the title of a fourth-rank Anren... He is appointed as an inspector to assist Jiangchuan... I hereby express my gratitude."

I only heard, fifty taels of gold, rich, a hundred acres of good farmland, land, the landlady's goal has taken a big step forward. Hahaha, what is a fourth-rank Anren, what is this? I'm a little confused. To assist Jiangchuan in the position of supervisor? I was completely confused.

"Madam Yun, please thank me!" Eunuch Zhang saw that I had not come back to my senses and reminded me in a friendly manner.

In An Gonggong's mind, it was normal for an ordinary person to be stunned after receiving such a big surprise. I quickly stretched out my hands, and An Gonggong smiled and put the imperial edict in my hands; "Madam, congratulations."

"Thank you, eunuch. You have worked hard on the journey," Liu Niang and Xiu Wen helped me up from the ground. Xiu Wen quickly put a purse filled with 100 taels of silver notes that he had prepared long ago into Eunuch An's hand.

Eunuch An felt the light money inside and realized it was a banknote. He thought to himself that this farmer was quite tactful and generous. He felt even happier and put the purse into his sleeve pocket with a smile.

Jiang Chuan and Xiu Wen quickly greeted the eunuch and invited him into the main hall in the middle. They saw a sofa placed on the side.

Grandpa An also found it very strange. He felt very comfortable sitting on it. He thought to himself, this farmhouse is really quite nice, with all these rare things. He couldn't help but glance at the sofa cover more.

This one is what I like.

A set of sofa cushions, maybe it can bring good fortune in the future. I carefully instructed Liu Niang to make two sets according to the specifications of the pillows and sofa cushions that are now on the chairs. One set will be given to Eunuch An, and the other set will be taken back by Eunuch An to present to the emperor.

After hearing this, Liu Niang understood and hurried downstairs to find someone to start sewing.

It's the emperor's business whether to use it or not? It's just a small token of our appreciation!

I carefully put the imperial edict and the reward into the backyard and locked it up. I called Chuqi to help me keep an eye on it. There were so many people in the yard today, and if the imperial edict was damaged, it would be a serious crime.

Chuqi understood what I meant. He just sat in the backyard and didn't go anywhere. I was afraid that Chuqi was hungry, so I ran to the kitchen and brought a big basket of food for Chuqi and put it in the house. I told Chuqi to eat a little when he was hungry. Chuqi nodded happily. He sat on the sofa and started to eat slowly. He waved at me and told me to go ahead and not to worry.

I know that with Chuqi here, I don’t have to worry about anything here.

There were many things to do in the front yard, and the most important thing at the moment was to cook. I quickly ran to the kitchen to check. There was strength in numbers. Because we were going to serve wine, we had built a few more stoves. Now we all started the fire, and soon, the food was ready.

I can't make the exquisite dishes used in the palace. They are all normal farm dishes.

Stir-fried offal, pork ribs stewed with corn, chicken stewed with mushrooms, duck fried with green peppers,... stir-fried green beans, egg drop soup, and so on, filled the table.

Finally, the clan leader brought up all the treasured old rice wine and several jars of glutinous rice wine from his home.

Finally, a large bowl of rice was served.

A table was set up in the lobby of the main courtyard, with Eunuch An sitting at the top, and Jiangchuan, Xiuwen, the head of the village, and the clan leader joining him.

I originally planned to let Uncle Mo and Uncle Wu go up, but they didn't want to deal with Eunuch An. In the end, I took the food back to my room to eat.

The Imperial Guards who came with them set up three separate tables in the courtyard prepared for Xiu Wen. There was an extra plate of pig heart and pig head on the table in the main room, and the other dishes were the same. Jiang Qi and Su Chen were asked to go over and say hello.

In the large courtyard outside, 20 tables were set up. Anyone from the village who wanted to come to eat could sit anywhere. They could serve their own food and take care of themselves, because there was really no one available.

For a moment, the aroma of food was everywhere. Even if people spoke in low voices, they could not hide their joy.

Su Chen was originally worried that with so many people from the village eating here, would something happen? But until the meal was over, everyone behaved well.

Several people from the Su family also came. The clan leader asked Dazhu and the others to keep a close eye on them, fearing that they would cause trouble or do something inappropriate, which would bring disaster to the village.

Fortunately, nothing happened until the end of the meal. Dazhu and the others finally relaxed a little.

Soon it was seven or eight o'clock, the sky began to get hazy, and everyone lit a few bonfires in the courtyard. After finishing their meal, Xiu'er and the others began to help clean up the dishes.

After finishing the work, we sat and had a shallow conversation.

After the Royal Guards had finished their meal, some began to clean up, while others just walked around. Everyone was amazed by the concrete poured on the ground.

The meal in the main house lasted until around eight or nine o'clock, and Eunuch An, feeling a little drunk, put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Accompanied by several people, he walked around the house again, then said he was tired and went back to rest.

The whole house finally fell into silence again.
