Traveling through ancient times to get rid of poverty, the whole network sends me express delivery

Shen Wanning shook her head. "I hate dealing with people the most. Even if they do see me, they only compliment me because of my status. Such interactions aren't sincere, so I don't want them!"

She had summoned He Zhenzhen these past few days and had a chat with her. Although He Zhenzhen was a few years younger than her, they had known each other for a long time and could talk about a lot of things.

The other one is Yue Mingzhu. Since she has met He Zhenzhen, she naturally cannot favor one over the other, so she met Yue Mingzhu again.

Yue Mingzhu also asked her about Lin Jiang, and Shen Wanning secretly told him that Lin Jiang might be coming to Beijing soon.

Lin Jiang had previously invented papermaking and movable type printing, and reported them to the court through the new county magistrate of Qinghe County.

The court was grateful for his selflessness and his refusal to use papermaking technology for personal gain, so it decided to promote him again to the sixth rank of Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Works and summoned him to Beijing.

However, at this time, the imperial edict had just been issued and should not have arrived in Daqing Town yet.

By mid-October, Eunuch Fu finally arrived in Daqing Town.

He knew Shen Wanning's identity, so when he came to Daqing Town this time and met the villagers of Daqing Town, he was very respectful.

Especially the Lin family, after all, they are the saviors of Princess Zhenguo, and Lin Jingyou is about to become a prince consort, so it goes without saying how noble their status is.

Just after the first imperial edict was read, which was the imperial edict for Lin Jiang's promotion, several people kowtowed in gratitude at the same time, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live the emperor."

Xu cried with joy, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, you have become a sixth-rank official, which is higher than our county magistrate's position! Also, did you hear that? The emperor has summoned you to the capital! You will be an official in the capital from now on! You can serve with your third uncle!"

Seeing that this Eunuch Xi was unfamiliar, Lin Dashan asked, "Eunuch, where is the Eunuch Xiang from before? Why didn't he come this time?"

Eunuch Fu smiled and replied, "Staff Xiang is very lucky. He has been favored by the Zhenguo Princess and has become the chief steward of Mingyue Palace. From now on, it will not be Steward Xiang's turn to do this kind of hard work outside."

"Princess Zhenguo?" several people muttered. However, since they thought these were not the questions they should ask, they didn't say anything more.

Then, Eunuch Fu coughed a few times and said, "Besides this, there is another imperial edict. Please kneel down and receive it."

Everyone was stunned for a moment and immediately knelt down.

Eunuch Fu read the emperor's decree and continued, "The emperor has permitted you to come to the capital to attend the wedding of the Princess Zhenguo. Although the wedding date has not yet been set, the emperor has ordered you to come to the capital first and remain there for the New Year. In addition, all hybrid rice harvested this year must be transported to the capital and trial-planted there first."

This was for Shen Wanning's consideration. Knowing that she valued the Lin family, the emperor wanted to give her a surprise.

After receiving the imperial edict and expressing gratitude, and seeing off Eunuch Fu, the family dared to express their true thoughts.

The whole family was surprised and delighted. Xu was surprised and asked, "Go to the capital? I have never been to the capital before. Why does the emperor want us to celebrate the New Year in the capital? Is it because he values ​​my third brother so that he wants us to celebrate the New Year in the capital as a token of his favor?"

Only Aunt Zhang was furious. "Did the Third Brother become so dazzled by the prosperity of the capital after going there that he decided to abandon Wan Ning and marry that so-called Princess Zhenguo?"

After Aunt Zhang said this, the others realized something was wrong. Yeah, why did the imperial edict mention Princess Zhenguo? Where was Wan Ning?

Besides, Shen Wanning clearly said in her letter that the emperor and the queen treated her very well, so how could they separate her and Lin Jingyou?

"Hey, mother, don't be angry, don't be angry. It might be that the emperor has arranged the marriage, and my third brother has no way to refuse and can only accept it! Besides, didn't Wan Ning say that she was living well in the palace? The emperor might have arranged a marriage for her with a prince!" Xu said carelessly.

Aunt Zhang glared at her and grabbed her ear, "What are you talking about? Can't you see the affection between Wan Ning and the third brother? No, I have to go to the capital as soon as possible to see what's going on."

Aunt Zhang hurried back to the house to pack her luggage.

Lin He followed behind and sighed, "Alas, it's a sin for a man to be too outstanding! Look at my third uncle, isn't he favored by the princess? But if my third uncle and my aunt get married, will my aunt still be my aunt?"

Lin Jingce knocked him on the head from behind and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry back and pack your things and prepare to go to Beijing. Didn't you always talk about going to Beijing to visit your aunt? Isn't this your chance?"

"Hehe, then I'll go pack up now." Lin He smiled.

In the evening, Lin Jingcheng came back from the county town. After learning about this, he discussed with his family and decided to temporarily let Chen Zihao help take care of the family's planting.

The business in the county and the capital can only be handed over to Shopkeeper Yang and the owner of Zuihongzhuang Shop. After all, they still have to wait to attend the wedding of Lin Jingyou and Shen Wanning, and they don’t know when they can come back!

After arranging all the big and small matters at home, Aunt Zhang and her group prepared to go to Beijing.

Because there were so many people and stuff along the way, and the roads were blocked by heavy snow, we didn't reach the capital until mid-November.

The emperor suddenly issued an order, and even Lin Jingyou didn't know they were coming to the capital. Fortunately, Lin Jingcheng was smart and remembered that Lin Jiang would report to the Ministry of Works after arriving in Beijing, so he asked Lin Jiang to help inquire about Lin Jingyou's residence.

The family dragged all kinds of things to where Lin Jingyou lived.

Seeing the whole family coming, Lin Jingyou was stunned. He had never heard of this news beforehand!

"Dad, Mom, why did you all come to the capital?" Lin Jingyou asked as he took the things from their carriage.

"Hmph, if I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that my good son was getting married, and to a princess! Tell me, how long have you been in the capital, and you're already trying to curry favor with the powerful? You even dared to abandon Wan Ning? If you don't explain clearly today, I'll pretend that I don't have a son like you!" Aunt Zhang lectured angrily.

Everyone else stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Jingyou, waiting for his explanation.

"Mom, how did you know I was going to marry a princess? Oh, didn't you know? Wan Ning is the Princess Zhenguo, and the one I want to marry is Wan Ning!" Lin Jingyou felt wronged and quickly explained.

He never dreamed that Shen Wanning thought he had told Aunt Zhang and the others about this, so Shen Wanning did not mention it in the letter. Lin Jingyou thought Shen Wanning had told them about this, so he did not say anything.

"What? Wan Ning is the Princess Zhenguo? Aren't princesses only the daughters of the emperor? How come Wan Ning became a princess?" Everyone looked at Lin Jingyou in shock.

Lin Jingyou had no choice but to explain the whole story. After that, he said to Lin Jingcheng, "Second brother, it was you who saved Wan Ning. I think the emperor will reward you, so he called you all to the capital this time."

"Then what will the emperor reward me? He won't give me an official position, right?" Lin Jingcheng was a little excited.
