The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing

When the news reached Qin Huaisheng, he immediately announced the good news to the villagers.

Now, hearing that the court would award a plaque to Changhe Village and that County Magistrate Jiang would later arrange for stonemasons to erect a monument at the entrance of the village, the villagers cheered.

A few days ago, the villagers finished harvesting the sweet potatoes.

At that time, due to the limited seedlings, each family did not get much. But each family harvested at least 100 kilograms of new grain, and the yield was gratifying.

If we start large-scale planting next year, we will have no worries about having surplus grain in our own granaries.

The three nearby villages that received donated seedlings also had a bumper harvest.

A few days ago, representatives from each village brought some gifts from the villagers as a thank you gift to the Qin family.

Qin Huaisheng took this opportunity to sign a contract with those villages for next year's medicinal herb planting.

This move made the villagers in these villages extremely happy.

They all witnessed the medicinal field in Changhe Village from the initial planting to the harvest.

Now that the Qin family is willing to lead them to grow medicinal herbs, they are naturally very happy. This also means that they will have another way to make money in the future.

In the following days, the fact that Taihe County became a demonstration county for new grain crops instantly caused ripples throughout Taihe County and even the surrounding areas.

According to the original plan, this batch of newly harvested grain was to be kept as seeds and transported back to the capital for unified arrangement by the emperor.

Now that Taihe County has been directly designated by the emperor as a demonstration and promotion point for new grain planting, this batch of seeds naturally does not need to be transported back to Beijing.

County Magistrate Jiang was so excited when he received the secret letter that he immediately began to arrange the follow-up work.

However, Qin Ruo's original plan was disrupted.

Things here have been almost arranged, and she was originally planning to go back to Ganzhou in the next few days.

County Magistrate Jiang informed Qin Ruo that he had received instructions from above that the emperor would hold a ceremony to confer the title of princess on her and order the Qin family to move to Beijing.

The people sent by the Ministry of Rites to pick them up and bring them to Beijing are already on the way.

December is the emperor's birthday banquet, and Qin Ruo's enthronement ceremony will be held on the tenth day after the emperor's birthday banquet.

Therefore, the imperial court specially issued an edict to Magistrate Jiang, informing the Qin family to prepare to enter the capital.

Qin Ruo's family, along with Lord Pan and his entourage, returned to Beijing along with the people from the Ministry of Rites.

The fact that the emperor suddenly wanted to hold a ceremony to confer the title of Emperor on Qin Ruo was something beyond Qin Ruo's expectations.

Logically speaking, when Qin Ruo was conferred the title of princess, she should have gone to the palace to express her gratitude according to etiquette.

However, when Eunuch De came to announce the decree, he specifically told Qin Ruo that the emperor exempted her from the etiquette of going to the palace to express her gratitude, considering that she was far away in Ganzhou, a long journey from the capital.

Now the emperor suddenly wants to hold an enthronement ceremony, which is quite interesting.

In addition to being a reward for successful grain cultivation, there may be other purposes behind this.

What the emperor meant was to order the Qin family to move to Beijing, and even Qin Tiaotiao was on the list.

But now that things have come to this, we will finally be able to work things out.

I have to go to the capital sooner or later, it's just a little earlier than previously planned.

During this period, Qin Ruo spent more time with Si Heng, Xue Jing and others, and was no longer completely in the dark about the situation in the court.

In addition, Old Madam Xie would always remind her, intentionally or unintentionally, about some of the palace rules and social etiquette.

Qin Ruo had no fear about going to Beijing this time.

However, when Old Lady Qin heard the news, she felt extremely uneasy.

For someone who had not even been to Taihe County a few times, it was surprising to have to go to the capital to meet the emperor.

There is no joy in my heart, only uneasiness and worry.

In particular, there is a Shen family in the capital who is not friendly to the Qin family. Although the matter of Nanny Tian has come to an end, the fear when he first met Shen Junxing has not yet dissipated.

"Ruo'er, Dalang... do we have to go to the capital? Otherwise, how about we pretend to be sick?" Old Mrs. Qin walked back and forth in the room. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't go to the capital.

Although my granddaughter is capable, I am unfamiliar with the capital city and this is not Taihe County.

There is no telling how many traps are waiting ahead.

In the past, not to mention entering the palace to see the emperor, even meeting the county magistrate would be an honor.

Qin Ruo didn't say anything, but just winked at Qin Ziyan.

Qin Ziyan understood what was going on, walked up to her, pushed Old Lady Qin onto the chair, and consoled her softly.

"Grandma, the emperor has ordered us to go to the capital with our family. If we don't go, it would be against his order. If we disobey the order, we will be beheaded. And my sister is now a princess, so it is only a matter of time for her to go to the capital. This time, we are only invited to watch the celebration for my sister, not to venture into a dangerous place. Don't worry."

Qin Ziyan's words of comfort were also dry, and Qin Ruo held his forehead in silence.

Didn't he realize that what he said was even more frightening? How could anyone feel at ease when he even said something like beheading someone?

She waved her hand and asked Xundong and Yiqiu to take Old Lady Qin away.

Qin Ruo stood up and led Qin Ziyan to the pavilion in the courtyard.

"What do you think of this trip to Beijing?"

"Sister, I don't think it's that simple. Before, the emperor even forgave you for going to the palace to express your gratitude, and now he's holding a ceremony to confer a title on you. I'm afraid the momentum of our Qin family's development has affected the interests of some people. In short, I don't think it's that simple."

During the time when Qin Ruo went to Ganzhou, Xunyu Ji's ice cola drink had just been launched, and a businessman from another place came to Qingsheng and wanted to buy the house for a high price.

Qingsheng is loyal to Qin Ruo and naturally would not betray his master.

At that time, the foreign businessman did not make much of a fuss, but a few days later, a diner gathered a group of people and went to Xunyu Ji to cause trouble, claiming that he was poisoned after drinking Xunyu Ji's cola.

They claimed that Xun Yu Ji’s drinks were poisonous and demanded that Xun Yu Ji disclose the secret recipe of the drinks.

At that time, the housekeeper Ren from the Xie residence and Doctor Feng from Xinglin Hall stepped in and the matter was quickly resolved.

It was publicly confirmed that those who claimed to be poisoned were just a few idle hooligans in the city who just wanted to take the opportunity to extort some money.

Those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble were finally released from jail, and the matter came to an end.

However, everyone in Taihe County knew that the boss behind Xun Yu Ji was Qin Ruo and that the Xie family was backing it.

It is worth pondering that those ruffians dared to commit crimes knowing the consequences.

It only means that there is a bigger force behind the scenes, lurking in the dark and trying to obstruct the rise of the Qin family.

"Sister, are you talking about the Shen family? Because I rejected them last time, they got angry and embarrassed. Are they trying to suppress our Qin family's business? Otherwise, why would they deliberately go against us? We opened Xunyuji, and the other party opened a restaurant called Pinyuji right across from us, and they maliciously snatched customers at a low price."

When Qin Ziyan talked about this, a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Shen Junxing's behavior.

The dishes of the newly opened restaurant are surprisingly similar to those of Xunyu Ji; even the name of the restaurant is almost the same.

Qin Ruo shook her head. This matter really had nothing to do with Shen Junxing.

Shen Junxing does not have the financial resources and energy yet, but several princes in the palace do.
