Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 547 Sir, Please Stay (9)

After returning to the Deng residence, Deng Moci began to settle the bill. She took out an abacus and began to calculate: "The sugar figurine... I spent three taels of silver in total. Xiaoxi, I seem to have spent quite a bit of silver."

"Miss, just be happy. This money was won from gambling. It's only one or two taels of silver."

"You're right. I still have more than ten taels. After paying you back two taels, I still have ten taels. I have my own secret stash now. I have to hide it so that my mother can't find out."

Seeing Deng Moci happily hiding the silver, Gu Yuxi smiled. After the people took a nap, she went to embroider clothes for them. There was no time to relax at all...

one year later……

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that His Majesty thinks so highly of my Deng family. The Emperor's grace is so great."

"Sir, why are you so happy?"

"A person from Kyoto has come. Prime Minister Wei has recommended me to His Majesty as the permanent historian of the Ministry of Works to assist the Minister of Works in managing the affairs of the Ministry. His Majesty has approved it. Someone will announce the decree tomorrow."

The mistress of the Deng family was also delighted, and immediately burst into tears: "The emperor's grace is so great, and it is a blessing for the official!"

"Father, I will continue to work hard and strive to be on the list of next year's autumn competition."

"Well, Wenjie also needs to work hard and pass the Tongsheng exam next year. The boy from the Fan family is smart and passed the exam this year."

"What my grandfather taught me is that my grandson will work hard and live up to his trust."

The second room's people asked, "Father, should we prepare to move? It's not easy to get to the capital from here. It will take about a month."

"Father, my husband is capable of receiving the envoy well and will ensure that this matter of our Deng Mansion is handled well."

"Can you handle this?"

"My son..." The man was puzzled, and finally said, "My son only knows the art of business, but does not understand the rituals of sacrifice. I am not qualified for this job."

"It's good that you know it. When you arrive in the capital, be more cautious. You need to be careful with your words and actions in front of the emperor. There are always people who are better than you."

"The child understands what his father means."

On the second day, the Deng Mansion was filled with joy. The reception hall was filled with sacrificial pig heads, ox heads, sheep heads, some medicinal herbs, cloth and other items.

Governor Deng was standing in the courtyard at the main entrance, wearing a simply washed official robe. All the female relatives and servants were dressed neatly and waited with their master for the imperial edict to arrive.

The person coming from that direction was a handsome young man, with a sword bestowed by the emperor on his waist and a dark blue robe. He looked majestic and intimidating.

Many unmarried women blushed when they saw a man of such appearance. The man had a face like Pan An, with an elegance and heroism that they had never seen before. They couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Gu Yuxi looked at the main villain in the book, Li Haozheng, the younger brother of the current emperor and the late son of the previous emperor. Now was the time for him to volunteer to go to the border to suppress the bandits.

He survived a near-death experience on the battlefield, turned the situation around, recovered lost territory and expanded the territories. However, he was poisoned in the end and turned into an ugly monster beyond recognition. He had to wear a mask ever since then.

More than ten years later, Li Haozheng and the male protagonist were on the opposite side of the new emperor's team. The result can be imagined. In the end, he was imprisoned, and even his close associates such as Gu Beicheng did not have a good ending.

Gu Yuxi looked at the handsome man in front of her. He was her brother's mentor, but she didn't expect him to end up in such a miserable way.

Li Haozheng felt an annoying gaze, and saw a little maid among the female relatives secretly looking at him. Could it be his... No, it was another nymphomaniac who only cared about appearances. What bad luck!

Gu Yuxi: ...

"Welcome to the Tenth Prince, may His Majesty be safe and sound." Everyone shouted in unison, their voices echoing throughout the government hall.

"Sir Governor, you are embarrassing me. No need to be polite." The Tenth Prince smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to stand up. However, his eyes were always full of majesty, making people dare not look directly at him.

Then, Li Haozheng slowly walked to the table nearby and took the bright yellow imperial edict handed over by the ceremonial officer. He took a deep breath, then solemnly shouted, "Mianzhou Governor Deng Neng accepts the edict."

Hearing this, Deng Neng hurried forward, and everyone knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed respectfully and saluted: "Your Majesty, long live the emperor!"

At this time, the hall was silent, everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for the imperial edict to be read.

Li Haozheng unfolded the imperial edict and read it in a loud and solemn voice: "The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that Deng Neng, the governor of Mianzhou, is an honest official with good governance. Since he took office, he has worked hard to govern the country and rectified the administration of officials, making the land of Mianzhou harmonious and the people live and work in peace and contentment. I am very pleased and specially grant him a thousand taels of gold and a hundred rolls of silk to commend his achievements.

Now the position of the permanent historian of the Ministry of Works is vacant, and I want to appoint someone with both moral integrity and talent to fill it. I admire your moral integrity and talent, so I appoint Deng Neng as the permanent historian of the Ministry of Works to assist the Minister of Works in managing the affairs of the Ministry of Works. You will come to Beijing to take up your post immediately. I hope you will continue to work hard in the future and live up to my trust. I decree this!"

After reading the imperial edict, Li Haozheng handed it to Deng Neng. Deng Neng took the edict with trembling hands, tears of excitement flashing in his eyes, and kowtowed again to express his gratitude: "I will do my best and die to repay your majesty's great grace. Long live your majesty."

Deng Neng took the imperial edict and placed it on the altar. The servants stood up and arranged for the attendants to read the imperial edict.

Li Haozheng looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an imperceptible admiration.

He thought to himself that this diligent and capable governor was indeed worthy of praise. He said softly, "Congratulations, Mr. Deng Changshi! After seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation."

Hearing this, Deng Neng immediately bowed and responded with a humble look on his face: "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I am just doing my duty. Your Majesty has come from afar and has been very tired. I have already ordered people to prepare sumptuous food and comfortable guest rooms. I hope Your Majesty will come and rest for a while."

Upon hearing this, the man smiled heartily, waved his hand and said, "Haha, then I won't be polite. Since I'm here at your house, I have to follow the host's wishes. Lord Changshi, please lead the way." After that, he followed Deng Neng's footsteps.

The group came to the main seat, and Li Haozheng sat on it, glancing at everyone in the Deng family.

I saw that the people in the Deng family's eldest branch were all dressed in plain clothes, with clean faces, giving people a sense of integrity and honesty;

In contrast, the second wife's family members were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, covered in jewels and gold, and their every move showed an air of luxury, which was in sharp contrast to the first wife's family.

At this moment, the Tenth Prince suddenly set his eyes on a man and asked with a smile, "I guess this must be the eldest son of your family? When I was in the capital, I had the honor of seeing your son's paintings. The customs and people of Mianzhou shown in the paintings are so vivid and impressive! I love the paintings so much that I still keep them in my study."
