The convoy stopped less than a hundred meters from the village.

Qi Quanjin thought he would bring someone to greet him, but unexpectedly saw a few people passing by the carriage.

The leader was wearing an official uniform, and Quan Jin immediately recognized him as the county magistrate of Jicheng.

I saw the county magistrate trotting over with a few yamen servants, and Quan Jin rushed to meet him.

Jicheng county magistrate named Hu Kaicheng, in his 40s, is slightly fat. Now he has been trotting all the way for dozens of meters, and he is already a little short of breath.

"The grass people have seen the county magistrate!"

Quan Quanjin said that he was about to kneel down.

Hu Kaicheng waved his hand and said out of breath, "Excuse me. Are all the things in your village ready? The officials who delivered the decree are already waiting. Hurry up, don't keep your lord waiting."

"Ready, ready, ready."

Qi Quanjin didn't expect to be in such a hurry, so he hurriedly asked the family members behind to carry the things.

Soon the incense table was put on the table.

Seeing that the preparations were complete and there was nothing out of the ordinary, Hu Kaicheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "You all stand still, and I will signal later."

"Yes! Grassman thank you magistrate!"

Quan Quanjin hurriedly expressed his thanks.

Hu Kaicheng hurried towards the carriage again, and when he got to the side, he clasped his fists and saluted again, showing a very respectful look.

Not long after, the horses in front dispersed and moved forward from the carriage.

The carriage looks more expensive than the best carriage in their city.

The car door opened, and a white-faced, beardless man walked out from the inside. He looked to be in his thirties.

This man was wearing a brocade robe, and he was holding a dust whisk in his hand.

The man stood in front of the car door and looked around, with a look of disgust on his face, but he was helped out of the car anyway.

"Which one is Jicheng Quanquanjin?"

When the man opened his mouth, the voice sounded a little shrill.

Quan Quanjin hurried forward, clasped his fists with both hands and gave a deep salute: "Caomin Quanquanjin, please greet the Elder Master!"

"All the gold, go forward and receive the order."

As the man said, he put the dust whisk on his arm, and picked up a bright yellow scroll from the tray carried by his attendant.

Hu Kaicheng was afraid that Qi Qijin would not understand the rules, so he hurried to the place beside him and knelt down.

Quan Quanjin naturally knelt down.

The people following behind also knelt down.

Kneeling for a while.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor said: The chaos of the locust plague disturbed the stability of the people... Now I heard that the head of Yongping Village, Jicheng, Tabei Prefecture, has all the money to offer the method of fighting the locust plague. ..."

Following the man's sharp voice, the kneeling people heard their blood boiling.

This is a reward from the emperor!
In addition to the gold plaque, there are other rewards. The long list of names made everyone tremble with excitement.

Quan Quanjin was so nervous that he almost cried.

Following the man's "I love you", Hu Kaicheng hurriedly bumped his head to the ground, shouting long live.

Quan Quanjin also reacted, and hurriedly followed suit.

Although everyone shouted not very neatly, their voices were loud and their attitudes were extremely respectful.

"Okay, let's complete the gold collar decree!"

With another order, Quan Quanjin hurriedly stood up, stepped forward with his back arched, and received Minghuang's imperial edict with both hands.

At this moment, Quan Quanjin's hands were visibly trembling.

The man said again: "Lead the way! Pick up everything."

"Yes, thank you sir!"

Quan Quanjin hurriedly handed over the imperial decree to Qi Dafu who was at the side, and turned sideways to lead the way in person.

The rewards sent were sent to the Qi family compound by a stream of water.

The eunuch who delivered the decree also followed into the Qi family's courtyard.

"It's pretty clean."

The eunuch finally showed some satisfaction.

Quan Quanjin bowed his back the whole way: "Your Excellency can come, and you will be full of glory. I have prepared some simple tea and light meals at home, and I hope you will not be disgusted with it."

The eunuch who passed the decree wanted to say no to eating, but he couldn't bear it, it would take three or four hours to go back and forth, which was really too much.

He didn't speak, but Hu Kaicheng understood, and hurriedly said: "Eunuch Wan, the weather is cold, why don't you warm yourself up first, and go back to the city, the officials have already prepared a banquet, so how about taking a good rest then? "

"Then it's settled!"

Eunuch Wan shook his whisk and walked towards the central hall first.

The main room has also been cleaned up by this time.

Although there are no expensive decorations, it is much neater than ordinary people's houses.

There are hot meals on the table in the middle, all of which were brought by Yi Meng and his sister-in-law who just came back early.

Today, we are entertaining big shots for dinner, so Yi Meng will do the cooking by himself, and everyone else will be helpers.

Yi Meng's cooking skills are good, as soon as he enters the room, the smell of the food hits his face, making Eunuch Wan raise his eyebrows slightly, and he secretly said "It smells so good".

Hu Kaicheng didn't expect such a small rural village to have such a delicious smell of food, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Although the dinner plate is not made of gold, silver and jade, it is brand new.

There are eight hot and two cold dishes on the table, as well as two soups.

A total of twelve dishes.

With a large family, the bowls and plates for eating are naturally large.

However, these twelve dishes are full of piles, and they are decorated with some green leaves and the like.

Although there are only some in the middle, it looks exquisite.

Hu Kaicheng was a little dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect that the Qi family's food was not only delicious, but also beautifully presented.

The most rare thing is that it has already entered winter, let alone ordinary people, it is difficult to see green leafy vegetables even on the tables of major restaurants, but they appear here.

"Eunuch Wan, please take your seat!"

Hu Kaicheng hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.

Eunuch Wan is naturally sitting in the top position, and the county magistrate Hu Kaicheng is the one to start.

As for the others, no one dared to sit down.

Even Quan Quanjin just stood aside and waited.

"Qiquanjin, sit down too!"

After Wan Gong revealed his words, Quan Qijin sat in the lowest position, and he was only on the sidelines, not daring to sit down.

This table is not the big round table commonly used at home, but a round table specially moved from the second courtyard in the city, which is smaller.

Usually eight people can be seated, but now only three people are seated.

Seeing that no one else came in from the Qi family, Eunuch Wan asked, "Are there any old people in the house?"

"Responding to my lord's words, Caomin's parents are still alive."

Quan Qijin didn't understand why the other party asked such a question, but he had to answer it after asking.

Eunuch Wan hummed, and said, "Since the old man is here, please come and sit with us!"

"Yes!"

Quan Quanjin hurriedly got up and left to find his father.

Qi Zheng is sitting in Qi Dalang's room next door right now, looking at the imperial decree on the table with bright eyes.

I want to touch it, but I dare not, for fear of breaking it.

It was also rare that Qi Cheng didn't hold his precious granddaughter, but stood aside and stared at the imperial decree.

"Old man, this, this is really an imperial decree!"

Qi Cheng's voice was still trembling.

Qi Zheng nodded, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Our old Qi's family is really smoking from the ancestral grave. This imperial decree is our family heirloom, and we will make a special room for it later."

As soon as the words fell, I heard Quan Quanjin greeted anxiously: "Father, you come with me!"
