Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 72 Imperial Edict Bestowing Rewards
Finally, Ningxiang Pavilion watched the departing group with a wide, beaming smile.
We need to stock up quickly; this shelf is almost empty.
Suddenly, the sound of a gong rang out from the street!
The sound was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention.
The yamen runners led the way, followed by several people carrying a huge plaque.
The plaque is made of high-quality wood, specifically rosewood, and the border is decorated with exquisitely carved cloud patterns.
The words "Outstanding Achievements" are written in gold on a red background.
Four people followed behind, each carrying a tray covered with a red cloth.
As they walked, they banged gongs to clear the way, with County Magistrate Li Haiyan following behind. Everyone craned their necks to look.
"What's going on here? Why are there so many officials' wives!"
"I don't know, but it looks like it's delivering a plaque to someone's house!"
"Whose family is so influential that the county magistrate has to personally deliver the plaque!"
Li Haiyan rode a tall horse with a warm expression, looking ahead.
The onlookers followed the procession curiously to see which family had received the plaque!
Li Haiyan dismounted and stopped when the procession stopped in front of the Han family's house.
Someone knocked on the Han family's door, and everyone in the Han family was busy.
There was no one guarding the door, and the constables knocked on the door for a long time before someone answered.
"I'm coming!"
Liu Hua was somewhat flustered when she opened the door and saw such a large scene.
However, they soon realized the situation: Li Haiyan, dressed in official robes, looked dignified.
"Summon Han Zixuan to come out and receive the imperial decree."
Liu Hua had a gut feeling that something big had happened, so she quickly went inside to inform Han Zixuan.
Han Zixuan was teaching Shen Qingxi how to mix a new soap.
Suddenly, Liu Hua's urgent voice was heard: "Mistress... there are government officials outside who have come to deliver an imperial decree. Please hurry and greet them."
Han Zixuan frowned and pondered for a moment but couldn't figure out the reason.
Shen Qingxi also looked worried, "Wife... Mistress."
Han Zixuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Shen Qingxi nodded gently and followed Han Zixuan out, followed by Han's father.
The whole family arrived at the front door in a neat and orderly fashion.
Han Zixuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw the imperial edict held in Li Haiyan's upright posture.
She had no time to think, so she could only straighten her clothes and kneel down respectfully to receive the imperial decree.
"This humble subject, Han Zixuan, receives the imperial decree!"
Li Haiyan solemnly unfolded the imperial edict in her hand and read it aloud.
"By the Mandate of Heaven, the Empress decrees:"
Having ascended to the throne, I am always mindful of the nation's well-being and the people's livelihood, and I worry about this day and night. Now, Han Zixuan from Mingxi County has a keen insight into the affairs of the country and offers wise strategies to help the nation prosper.
Your proposed strategies are incisive and perfectly suited to the current problems, and they align perfectly with my intentions. You have demonstrated exceptional insight into agriculture, water conservancy, and the people's livelihood.
This is truly a beneficial measure for the country and its people. This policy can revitalize agriculture and sericulture, promote economic prosperity, alleviate the people's hardships, and safeguard the stability of the nation.
With your talent and wisdom, you have made invaluable contributions to the well-being of the nation and the livelihood of the people.
I hereby bestow upon him a plaque and one hundred taels of gold as a special commendation to express my appreciation.
I hope you will continue to serve the country. I also expect all my ministers to follow your example, offer their best suggestions for the development of the nation, and work together to build a prosperous era.
Admire this! "
Han Zixuan accepted the imperial edict with both hands, saying, "This humble subject thanks you!"
Oh, so that's what it was about. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Haiyan handed the imperial edict to Han Zixuan.
He helped her up, a smile on his face, "Hehe, congratulations, Ms. Han!"
With a casual gesture, several people behind him immediately stepped forward, saying, "We didn't expect Lady Han to be so unassuming."
"To think that he could gain His Majesty's favor."
When they received the imperial edict, they were shocked. They never expected that the usually quiet Mingjing Hall would have such a person in its ranks.
They actually managed to show their faces before Her Majesty the Empress and even receive a reward.
Her contributions to the country were significant, yet she, as the magistrate of Mingxi County, was completely unaware of them.
This Lady Han must be extraordinary; we must cultivate a good relationship with her!
Han Zixuan nodded modestly, "It's nothing, I just offered some suggestions! It's His Majesty's appreciation."
Li Haiyan's eyes lit up and she nodded with a smile, "Lady Han is really joking. You're being too modest. You've only offered some suggestions and you've already received His Majesty's praise."
"Please keep the plaque and the hundred taels of gold bestowed by His Majesty. I have other matters to attend to and must take my leave now!"
"If you have any needs in the future, please feel free to come to me, since Mingxi County is under my jurisdiction."
"With such knowledge, Lady Han is sure to have a bright future. I also admire talent and am sure I can have a pleasant conversation with you."
Han Zixuan looked up and met his gaze with a frank smile, "This humble subject understands, and will certainly trouble you, sir, in the future."
She could still tell what Li Haiyan was saying!
The plan that had been presented earlier was reported by Master Lin to the capital city.
She had no idea to whom she had entrusted her tutor, nor did she expect to receive a reward from the Empress.
Now, when Li Haiyan subtly criticizes her, she just responds with a few perfunctory words.
After seeing Li Haiyan off at the door, I turned around and saw the large characters on the plaque.
“Heroic Deeds”, he said, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Shen Qingxi and his father.
The two were still in shock and hadn't recovered.
Seeing the reward fills one with joy, knowing that something good must be about to happen.
"Xuan'er... tell me quickly, what happened? Did the adults give our family this gold and plaque?"
He was a rural man and couldn't understand what the imperial edict meant.
Seeing the adults talking to their daughter, they didn't want to disturb them and could only endure it.
Now that the county magistrate had left, he couldn't contain his excitement and asked Han Zixuan a question.
Shen Qingxi also looked at his wife with great enthusiasm, his eyes sparkling.
Han Zixuan saw how anxious they were.
He smiled and explained to the two of them, "This is a reward from Her Majesty the Empress of Kyoto."
Years ago, I did some things with the teachers at the school.
I made some suggestions, and the Master thought they were feasible, so he sent some of my proposals to Kyoto.
His Majesty thinks my suggestions are excellent and beneficial to the people; this is a reward for me.
That was roughly it. Overjoyed, Han's father wept, his trembling hands clasped together as he bowed repeatedly to the plaque.
"Good, good, Xuan'er has actually received praise and reward from Her Majesty the Empress."
What a promising young man! It's truly a blessing from your mother in heaven; our Han family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke!
"Quickly, go and offer incense to your mother so she can be happy too!!"
After saying that, he pulled Han Zixuan toward the main room, and Shen Qingxi happily followed behind.
My lady, did you see that? Our Han family has achieved immense glory.
Han Zixuan could only smile wryly and follow her father's wishes to kowtow and offer incense to her mother.
After busying herself for a while, Han Zixuan said solemnly, "Father, do you think I should go and tell the teacher about the reward I received?"
"Yes, right! Yes, we should give Master Lin a gift and thank him properly."
I'm afraid we wouldn't have received this reward without the Master's help!
Although she was illiterate, she knew about social etiquette and human relationships.
In the end, Han Zixuan took the gifts that her father had filled half a train car with to Lin Fuzi's residence and went there.
As soon as I entered, Xiao Tong warmly invited me inside!
Lin Moyan was sitting with his collar slightly folded when he saw Han Zixuan smiling broadly below the stage.
He quickly greeted her, "Hehe, Zixuan, please sit down!"
"Master Lin has come today with something to tell you!" Han Zixuan didn't exchange many pleasantries.
Lin Moyan chuckled and said, "It must be about His Majesty's reward! I already know that!"
