The angel is here?

Although I don’t know why the Nanjing Ministry of Rites did not send personnel to Beijing with me, it felt a little strange.

However, I have prepared for the imperial edict after entering Beijing. After all, I went to Beijing for this purpose.

Of course, this matter cannot be neglected. When he quickly got up to put on his clothes, Shi Yiwen asked Wu Cai again.

"Wu Cai, where are you now? Are you almost here to Tongzhou? Why are there angels coming?"

Wu Cai looked at Shi Yiwen with a shy face and shook his head and said.

"I don't know this either. Logically speaking, you should go to the Datong Bridge Wharf of Dongbianmen first, and then there will be a ritual official from the Ministry of Rites to pick us up. Why were you stopped in this place where you don't have a village in front and a shop behind you?"

In fact, it is not considered as having no villages or shops in front of them. Zhangjiawan Wharf is also an extremely important wharf. The wood that built the capital in those days first arrived at Zhangjiawan Wharf through the Grand Canal, and then entered Beijing from Route 6.

Even now

"Anyway, it's not going to be a halfway crossing."

Shi Yiwen said embarrassedly.

"Since you come, you'll be at ease."

"Young Master, this emperor is not easy to see. I guess I asked the inner officials to come over in advance to teach you some rules."

Almost from the day he entered Beijing, Wu Cai showed great enthusiasm. For him, he seemed more willing to be a guest of a powerful man than a businessman.

"When you see an angel, you must follow the rules. If you are not a court official, you cannot hold your scepter and bow, so you must bow over the top."

While Wu Cai walked side by side with Shi Yiwen, he reminded him of the rules of seeing the angels.

If we say, what is the best impression of the Ming Dynasty? I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty is not like the Qing Dynasty, and he kowtowed and kowtowed. In the usual Ming Dynasty, ministers did not kneel down when they saw the emperor, and performed a bow and bow. Only when they were sacrificed and held a symbolic bowing ceremony. Moreover, the people did not kneel down when they met officials.

However, even if you bow, there are rules for bowing. Shi Yiwen, who had already had the experience of receiving edicts, just nodded slightly.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the bow of the ship. Shi Yiwen looked at the surrounding environment. He originally thought it was a small dock, but what he saw in front of him subverted his thoughts. People came and went on the dock, unloading grain and loading ships, and the masts were like forests. Looking at the shore, all kinds of shops, cargo warehouses, and inns lined up, and they were even more prosperous than in Nanjing.

In surprise, Shi Yiwen stepped on the springboard to the shore. On the dock on the shore, there was a guard wearing a flying fish suit and a Jinyi standing with a knife. This was different from the last time he received an imperial edict in Nanjing.

After getting ashore and walking to the pavilion beside the pier, someone led Shi Yiwen in. The inner official standing in the pavilion said with a stern face.

"Shi Yiwen, receive the imperial edict."

Shi Yiwen hurriedly followed Wu Cai’s advice, bowed over the top and said deeply.

"Shi Yiwen, the old Hong Kong Xuanwei Department, received the imperial edict."

The inner official solemnly took the edict from the little eunuch beside him and then recited.

"...There is the Old Port Xuanwei Office, which was granted the title of Chengzu. After decades, the Later Port Xuanwei District was occupied by the Tuman. Although the tribute was entrusted for a hundred years, the tribute given by those who gave the surname were for many years. Although they were in a foreign country, they were in the Heavenly Kingdom. Now, the Old Port Xuanwei envoys the descendants of Shi Yiwen to pay tribute to the sky, which shows his loyalty..."

Uh...it's so embarrassing.

What is the land occupied by Tuman, what is the tribute for hundreds of years... This is not very nice, Shi Yiwen's face is not very natural, even if it is the fact, it would not be said such heartbreaking words.

Then the inner official continued to recite the Tao.

"...Remembering his loyalty, he promised him to return to the Heavenly Dynasty and command the commander of the Tongzhi. Thinking of his desire to travel thousands of miles to pay tribute, he specially awarded a place in the suburbs of the capital...I admire this."

Uh... When he came, Shi Yiwen was in a pretty good mood. He thought that when he entered the court, he would meet Emperor Wanli and other historical celebrities such as Zhang Juzheng. Since he was tribute, he would naturally be rewarded. The royal family would not be stingy in theory, but he actually rewarded a royal farm. Apart from that, there was nothing. Uh, there seemed to be a Jinyiwei Tongzhi.

And... there is no need to enter the court to face the saint.

What's the situation?

Shi Yiwen was a little confused.

However, the internal official solemnly delivered the edict to him.

Shi Yiwen, who was confused, took the edict and thought to himself, what's going on? That's it?

Then, another eunuch brought a brocade box. The box looked quite small, but it seemed nothing. The eunuch handed the box to Shi Yiwen.

"Shi Tongzhi, this is the land deed that the emperor rewards you with. You have to collect it. This blessing will be the first to be seen in Daming."

He took the box blankly, and Shi Yiwen thanked him again, but the eunuch stood there.

Needless to ask, Shi Yiwen knew what he meant. Before he could speak, Wu Cai, who was following outside the pavilion, came in, and the Jinyiwei outside the door did not stop him.

"I'm sorry to have my father-in-law running all the way, but a mere polite gift is not respectful."

With the effort of working, Wu Cai gave out two silver ingots of fifty taels of silver ingots.

Seeing Shi Yiwen so tactful, the inner official immediately squeezed out a smile on his face.

"You are kind to Shi Tongzhi, you are kind to you."

Neither Shi Yiwen nor the official who announced the imperial edict touched the money. After all, this was done by the servants. The official who was like a spring breeze then specifically reminded him.

"Shi Tongzhi, the Zhuangzi that the emperor rewards you is only a few dozen miles away from the capital, and only a few miles away from the capital. According to the Sa family, you are just about to get off the boat. The Sa family is going to escort the tribute back to the palace and send you a ride."

The inner official who often receives money, when he sees his godson's heavy sleeves, he knows that he must have received a lot of benefits, and his tone naturally seems very close.

"In this way, I'll have a hard time."

"Shi Tongzhi is kind to you, the family is the emperor's mission, and they are loyal and loyal, and their responsibilities are here."

The tributes were loaded into the palace, so when they came, they naturally prepared all the carriages and horses.

As for Shi Yiwen's family, he needed to hire a coachman and a coolie at the dock. He worked hard for almost an hour, and dozens of boxes of books and luggage were carried onto the carriage.

Just as Shi Yiwen and Zhang got off the boat, on the corridor on the top floor of the official boat, a beautiful woman stood on the stage. Looking at Shi Yiwen who was about to leave, she sighed, and then sat next to the piano, playing the piano gently with her hands.

It's her!

Listening to the sound of the piano coming from the boat, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but look back, but couldn't see the person playing the piano. However, the sound came from the corridor. Thinking of the woman last night, who else could there be besides her.

"Shi Tongzhi, Eunuch Sun urged to set off."

The little eunuch urged Shi Yiwen silently nodded in the direction of the ship, and then got on the carriage. As the carriage drove along the stone road toward the capital, the sound of the piano gradually went away...

The official road from Zhangjiawan Wharf to the capital was paved with green stone slabs all the way. Although it was inevitable that the carriage was not slow. In just two hours, Shi Yiwen heard someone outside the carriage say.

"Shi Tongzhi, after crossing this bridge, you will reach your village one mile west. The official in Guanzhuang has already followed the order and will be with you there, and the Sa family will leave first."

"I am really grateful to my father-in-law for sending him off all the way. Shi will definitely thank him in person in the future."

Shi Yiwen looked sincerely grateful.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, it's good to use it. I'll come to visit Shi Tongzhi again if I have the chance to come."

Customer service?

It seemed a little familiar. After the guests and the eunuchs and the Jinyiwei's carriages left, there were only a dozen carriages left in the mighty carriages.

Looking at the villages around the distance and looking at the fields waiting for sowing after harvest, Shi Yiwen suddenly felt like he was a different life.

"Young Master, is this our family in the future?"

Following the young master, Xiao Lian asked with some joy.

"Yes, probably..."

Looking at the little maids who got off the carriage, Shi Yiwen said that sentence came to his mind - a pretty maid, a mountain spring, a little field.
