Chapter 199: The minister, Wei Shuying, thanks the king for the reward
The mighty guard of honor walked to the door of the Xue family Yipinxian. The imperial envoy stopped and glanced at everyone. He saw Xue’s father Xue Bingfu and Xue’s mother Wei Shuying dressed up.
The imperial envoy said loudly, "Wei Shuying, where is Xue Bingfu?"
Because of the previous drill, Xue’s mother and Xue’s father took a step forward at the same time.
Xue's mother bent her legs slightly, lowered her head, and folded her hands on her right leg. Xue's father was simpler and arched her hands. The two of them said at the same time.
"Minister girl, Wei Shuying."
"Caomin, Xue Bingfu."
"I've met the imperial envoy."
Seeing that the two of them were considerate and thoughtful, the imperial envoy nodded immediately and then said loudly, "Welcome the imperial edict."
The voice fell and Xue's father lifted his clothes and knelt on the ground, holding the ground with both hands, Xue's mother also knelt on the ground, folding her hands on her left leg.
Not far away, on the high slope of the dark alley between the Xue Family Shop and the neighbor's house, Zhao looked at Xue's father and Xue's mother welcomed the imperial edict, and her turbid eyes were full of envy and regret.
It would be great if there was no separation. At this time, she would be the one who knelt on the ground to receive the imperial edict.
Zhao thought so in her heart, and before she knew it, she put down her crutch and slowly knelt down in the dark corner where no one paid attention to it.
Next to the Xue family store, Mr. Xue was smiling and a hint of loss flashed in his eyes. If he could be tougher at the time and prevent the second child from splitting up, would he be able to get this honor?
Thinking of this, Mr. Xue laughed and shook his head. He was so old, why did he still care about these things?
Two golden armored guards came over, holding one end of the imperial edict, and then spreading to both sides.
The imperial edict is about three feet wide and about one twelve feet long. The black horns are as the axis. They are made of good silk. They are auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes on them, and silver dragons on both sides are flying. They are written in extremely straight and beautiful fonts. The signature is covered with a royal seal. The overall look is magnificent and solemn.
He heard the imperial envoy read out the imperial edict loudly, "Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, Zhao said: Qingshan County people Wei Shuying and Ying were cautious, diligent and gentle, and had a good understanding of his children... and was named the Imperial Lady Wei; Qingshan County people Xue Bingfu... and was named the county baron."
"Thank you, the king." Xue's father and mother Xue thanked each other at the same time.
The imperial envoy continued, "Please ask for a new job, and the king will still have a reward."
Xue’s father and Xue’s mother stood up straight, and the imperial envoy continued, "The king has a reward, and I will give a pair of Yin and Yang jade pots." As he said that, a maid walked over with a tray. There were two jade pots on the tray, both of which were carved from good spiritual jade. The extremely exquisite swimming fish were painted on it. Under the sunlight, the surface of the lines flowed everywhere. The swimming fish seemed to fly out of the bottle at any time. The child beside him couldn't help but shout softly, "The fish seems to be able to fly."
The adult next to him hurriedly covered the child's mouth and booed and warned the child.
In fact, it’s not a mistake for the children. Even the adults widened their eyes, and they all admired each other and started to talk in a low voice.
"This Yin-Yang Jade Pot looks so beautiful, I'm afraid it's not cheap."
"No, can the things that Wang Ting rewards are cheap? I think this Yin-Yang Jade Pot is worth at least hundreds of low-grade spirit stones."
"Hundreds of low-grade spirit stones? Haha, even if Wang Ting's toilet paper has more than a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, the value of such a jade pot is no less than a thousand low-grade spirit stones. The price of such a pair will be increased a few times, and at least it will be the number." The passerby slapped.
"Five thousand low-grade spirit stones? My goodness, the Xue family is really developed!"
Not far away, Zhao was far away, listening to the conversations of people not far away, and looking at the pair of Yin and Yang jade pots, the envy in the turbid eyes became stronger and the regret became stronger.
She was really blinded by lard. What have she done over the years? For the sake of a few thousand spirit stones, she actually let the second family separate.
If there was no separation, she would be the one who would kneel on the ground and receive the reward now. Such a beautiful pair of babies would be hers.
In the stunning voices and envious eyes of everyone, Xue's mother bent down again. Although she had practiced many times, she was really on the spot. She felt different. She was both nervous and excited, suppressing the stimulating emotions in her heart and said, "My servant Wei Shuying, thank you for your reward."
Not far away, on the high slope of the alley, Zhao looked straight at the cheeks that were as dry as old tree bark, with no expression and a turbid look, and the breeze blew her hair, and at that moment, her hair turned much whiter.
The pale hair was twitching on her dry cheeks. At this moment, Zhao seemed to have become ten years older, describing her withered appearance.
Zhao looked at the scene of the order in a daze, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her dry, black and yellow hands slowly fell to the ground, and then she bent down and bowed her back and said, "My daughter Zhao Cuihua, thank you for your reward."
The breeze tugged Zhao's broken clothes, and his thin and thin body seemed to be blown down the high slope where debris piled up at any time.
The reward was just the beginning, and the imperial envoy continued to recite, "The king has a reward, and I will reward Mrs. Wei with a set of purple spirit wood tea sets."
The voice of the imperial envoy fell, and another maid came over with a plate of tea sets.
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim again, looking at the four tea cups on the plate, and enviously, "Even the tea sets are made of spiritual wood. Even if we sell them, we can't afford a tea cup."
"Xue Lao Er is really lucky. His ancestors have accumulated virtue for eight lifetimes. He married such a good wife and received so many rewards. This is to envy the dead!"
Xue's mother bent down again and said, "Thank you for the reward of the king."
In the dark corner of the alley, the pale-haired Zhao family trembled and held their heads down again. Two lines of tears flowed from their eyes, and they murmured, "Thank you for the rewards of the king."
Next, the imperial envoy read more than a dozen rewards, which made the onlookers of Qingyang red in their eyes, making Zhao cry.
When I was thinking about the last reward, the imperial envoy paused, looked at Xue's mother and said softer, but his voice rose a lot, "I heard that Mrs. Wei was selling a dowry stove to help her son cultivate immortality. The king was moved and gave a special gift to Mrs. Wei Wangting an imperial spiritual stove."
As he said that, two maids came over carrying a large stove.
But the runes on the spiritual stove are carved into flowers, with a colorful surface and beautiful look. This is not a stove, it is clearly a handicraft with great collection value.
With just one look, Xue's mother fell in love with this spiritual stove, but she was more moved in her heart. In Xue's mother's eyes, this was no longer just a reward, but a kind of affirmation and recognition of her. Even the king recognized her. She felt that her past hardships and past injustice were worth it, and it was too worth it.
