Being scolded for dragging the oil bottle, the sturdy small peasant girl farmed to get rich

Chapter 801 Nine official positions were cut off (six more)

Chapter 801

An hour later—

The imperial decree appeared in Yunfu.

The eunuch was also helpless.

The imperial decree clearly removed all official positions from Ling Heng except for the position of Chief Assistant.

To put it simply, originally Ling Heng could receive ten salaries, but with this cut, he can only receive one salary.

To put it more bluntly: Originally, people who could receive 10 two-year salaries each year could only receive 1 taels after such a cut.

After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he said: "I hope Ling Shoufu can understand that the emperor is helpless. The courtiers are all putting pressure on you, and he has no choice but to deal with you."

Ling Heng took the imperial decree with respectful hands, and nodded expressionlessly: "Understood."

The chief eunuch stared at Ling Heng's expression for a while, Ling Shoufu was still so calm and calm, there was no change in his expression!

"The miscellaneous family... let's go back to the palace first," the eunuch was actually a little worried that Ling Heng would be dissatisfied with the emperor.

"Please sit down and drink some tea, too," Yun Xi greeted.

The eunuch was surprised to find that Yun Xi seemed to be fine.

Ling Heng was cut off nine official positions!
Their attitude...isn't it too calm?
"We don't rely on those salaries for food," Yun Xi saw the surprise of the eunuch, so he simply explained.

Chief eunuch: "..."

Is this a matter of relying on salary for food?

Seriously speaking, it seems that's all there is to it.

"Ling Shoufu and Mrs. Shoufu are really open-minded people."

The eunuch sighed.

He simply stayed and drank tea before leaving.

Although Ling Le tried his best to hide his emotions, some resentment still showed in his eyes.

The little girl Ling Ruanruan was even more direct, almost to the point where her unhappiness was written all over her face.

The eunuch couldn't see what was wrong with the adults, so he looked at the two children, and then brought the feelings of the two children to Yun Xi and Ling Heng, and brought them into the palace.

***
In the royal study——

"Really? Are they really unwilling?"

The emperor seemed very happy, speaking with a flamboyant tone.

The eunuch thought about the reactions of the two children and nodded.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The emperor smiled happily.

The eunuch: "..." Shrinking his neck, he became more and more careful.

***
The courtiers who succeeded in making Ling Heng dismissed were also very happy.

In the name of appreciating flowers, a flower appreciating banquet was held, and officials and their families were invited to the banquet. It was actually a celebration banquet to celebrate Ling Heng's loss of nine official positions.

They even invited four people including Yun Xi and Ling Heng.

The purpose, of course, is to see a joke.

Over the years, Yun Xi would occasionally attend banquets held by officials. Now that Ling Le and Ling Ruanruan are 13 years old, it's time for her to choose the future wife and husband of the two children.

So she came to the banquet.

Her purpose is to see the school-age children of each family.

***
At the flower feast——

"Madam Chief Assistant, you are here."

Mrs. Zhao Taifu, who hosted the banquet, greeted her personally.

Mrs. Zhao Taifu is also in her fifties this year, and she is the old matriarch in their family. However, she, a third-rank madam, has to greet Shang Yunxi, a first-rank madam with the title of princess, in person.

Yun Xi smiled as she watched Mrs. Zhao Taifu suppress her dissatisfaction and yet show respect.

She kinda likes this.

So what if you don't like her?

"Madam Shoufu, I heard that your husband has lost nine official positions."

Mrs. Zhao Taifu had to maintain her demeanor, but the grade at the banquet was not high, and the lady who was regarded as the first bird couldn't wait to jump out and throw trouble.

Yun Xi frowned, thinking, did he come by mistake?

Maybe she can cultivate a future husband for Ling Ruanruan among the scholars who are still studying?
That's when the imperial decree arrived.

And this imperial decree was for Ling Heng and Yun Xi, but they happened to be at the Hongmen Banquet, so the eunuch came beaming with the imperial decree, proud of Yun Xi and Ling Heng.
