After dressing up, Jiang Xianyun felt that it was almost done, so he stood up and walked out of the room.
In the courtyard, King Yan was sitting under the pomegranate tree drinking tea, with a man dressed as an eunuch standing next to person who came had some hair and white hair on his head. He was an old eunuch, but his face was feminine and without a beard.
See Jiang Xianyun coming out.
King Yan, who was drinking tea from a cup, raised his head slightly and looked at her.
When he saw her, Situ Mingtang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a different emotion in his this moment, the figure she walked slowly towards was even more dignified and decent than those rich ladies from ministers' families.
Ordinary people can raise such a girl.
He drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and put it on the Jiang Xianyun glanced at him and raised his hand to signal, "Declare the decree!"
"Yes, my lord."
The eunuch who came to deliver the edict bowed slightly to King Yan, then opened the edict and said to Gao Sheng, "Xijun County, Jiang's daughter received the edict..."
"The daughter of the people accepted the order..."
Holding up the skirt, he knelt down and bowed his head slightly.
Eunuch Li looked at Jiang Xianyun and was a little surprised. What was even more surprising was her was born so was so different from the village girl from a small place he is not a village girl. Even if she is said to be a young lady from a noble family, he would believe her.
Seeing King Yan looking over, Eunuch Li put aside his thoughts and immediately began to read out the imperial edict.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Jiang Xianyun, the daughter of the Jiang family in Xijun County, has contributed to Sheji in the art of printing ancient books with movable type. She has a quiet and gentle appearance, a prudent nature, is not arrogant, has a kind nature, and has a good character. I am deeply comforted. Immediately, I was canonized as the county lord of Xijun County. I received a reward of one thousand taels, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a county lord's mansion.
Immediate relatives, if they hold public office, can be promoted one addition, we will reward [-] cattle and sheep each, and [-] acres of fertile land... The rest of the tribe will be exempt from taxes for three years. I admire this! "
This is the emperor, no, this is dad.
"Daughters of the people thank the emperor for his kindness. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor."
She is kneeling to the God of Wealth.
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "County Lord, please get up."
After receiving the imperial edict, Jiang Xianyun thanked him: "Thank you, father-in-law."
Situ Mingtang raised his hand to signal.
"reward…"
King Yan spoke, and the steward standing aside stepped forward and handed the reward he had prepared in advance to the other party.
"Then thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Lord of the County, and it will be a blessing to our family." After receiving the reward, Eunuch Li looked happy. The money was in hand, and it was really heavy.
After the eunuch left with the message.
King Yan asked people to send those rewards to Qingwei Courtyard, which belonged to each of , you can take it away directly.
"Put these things here first. You can take them with you when you leave..."
King Yan's voice sounded behind him.
Jiang Xianyun was stunned, turned to look at her, and then nodded slightly.
Quiet for a while.
Situ Mingtang reached out and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to her.
"This is...the annulment letter..."
He squeezed his fingers subconsciously, as if something was tightening in his heart.
Looking at the cancellation of engagement letter in his hand, Jiang Xianyun was startled for a moment and reached out to take was written in a folded version of the engagement letter. I opened it and took a look. Not to mention, the handwriting of King Yan was indeed very good.
Take a step back and take the divorce document in your hand.
"In this way, the prince and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on. I wish the prince peace and everything goes well."
The hands on his legs clenched unconsciously.
Her words seemed to echo in my ears, "From now on, the prince and I will have nothing to do with each other." '
My heart felt as if I had been hit by a huge always has a plan for everything he does, and everything is under was the first time in his life that he felt like he was out of control.
"You are staying here during this period. Now you may not be safe on your way home. I will send you back after the movable type printing technology is officially launched."
Jiang Xianyun nodded slightly. "good."
Speechless for a while.
"I will go to the study first..."
Jiang Xianyun glanced at him and whispered, "My lord, please go slowly."
Situ Mingtang:...
"Chen Er..."
"Yes, my lord."
Chen Er stepped forward and pushed him away.
After watching him leave, Jiang Xianyun took the folded book and tapped the palm of his hand.
She is not worried at all.
He is still holding on to that persistence in his heart...
After noon, Jiang Xianyun left the house with her two maids. She was going to meet her boss.
This red thread thing needs to be done.
Jingmingxuan…
When he heard that Jiang Xianyun had left the house, Situ Mingtang's hand that was wiping his sword paused and whispered: "Let someone protect her secretly..."
He frowned slightly as he wiped his sword.
The sword reflected light, and Jiang Xianyun's figure appeared in front of his eyes. He paused, sheathed the sword, and placed it on the stone table.
the other side…
Jiang Xianyun had already arrived at Wang's restaurant and met Mrs. Wang.
Madam Wang was a little surprised when she saw her. She was accompanied by a maid, and she was still dressed as down-to-earth as the last time she saw her.
Lead the person to the best private room on the second floor.
"Jiang, Miss."
"Hey, boss lady, I still get used to you calling me that girl."
When Madam Wang heard this, she looked embarrassed.
"Just don't bury me."
"Why did you come here? I didn't know what happened that day, and I didn't dare to ask, are you okay? Look what I'm saying, you look fine."
"...I came here to thank you for taking care of you before, and then I came to eat. I am here, not familiar with the place, so I only know you, so I came to see you."
Madam Wang was actually a little moved.
In fact, she has no friends. Everyone she knows thinks that she is a widower and a widow who was abandoned by her husband's , people gossip about her, thinking that she relies on having an affair with someone to be able to do business.
The nose is a bit sour.
Glancing at Jiang Xianyun, Madam Wang smiled and said, "You are different from others..."
Next, the two drank tea and ate together, and then their relationship became 's friendship is actually quite simple because of a word or thing, we can have a common topic, talk, and become friends.
Madam Wang now regards Jiang Xianyun as one of her relaxing, the two talked a lot and started chatting.
Maybe it was because she thought of sad things that she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"...You tell me why my life is so miserable."
Jiang Xianyun didn't know how to comfort her.
"This is not your fault." This is where my thoughts are now and cannot be changed.
"...It's okay. Now that I have said it, I feel much better. It's pretty good now. I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to look at other people's faces. I also saved some money myself. I will adopt a child to support me in my old age."
"What about you? When will you go home? I heard that your home is in Xijun County. But why do you know His Highness King Yan again?"
