139, Chapter 139

Both Wei Ting and Manager Chi were curious about Yang Haiyan. Because they all know that the land policy of the military camp was proposed by this woman.

Before meeting Yang Haiyan, they all knew that Yang Haiyan was once the eldest maid of the direct daughter of Taifu Yang's family. Miss Yang was also one of the pearls in the capital, so she was somewhat superior to the eldest maid of her family. However, it is only a few points. Even though Yang Haiyan is now an official's wife, she was once a slave and a girl. Ordinary people's families don't pay much attention to girls and so on. They may be a little bit more proud because a woman has been a girl in a wealthy family, but aristocratic families don't.

The aristocratic family has a very deep concept that a maid is a maid. Even if this maid becomes the emperor's concubine today, someone will say behind her back that she was just a maid before. What's more, Yang Haiyan is only a member of the fifth-rank official?

However, Manager Wei Ting and Chi did not agree with Yang Haiyan because of the land policy of the military camp and the matter of making ice with saltpeter. This was a unique and talented maid.

But...that's all. It's a bit high-spirited, but only a few points.

However, now that I saw Yang Haiyan in person, this added a few points. ‌Generally, maids who are afraid of hands and feet are not ‌. The woman in front of me is beautiful, wearing a light blue skirt, a golden hairpin with white pearls on her head, and a Hetian jade bracelet on her slender wrist. She looks very gentle. .

It is easy for people to like such a woman. Of course, this kind of good impression is not the love between men and women, but the pickiness of ancient men towards women. Many ancient men like this type of wife when choosing a wife, who is dignified, gentle, elegant and elegant.

Manager Wei Ting and Manager Chi were not surprised by Yang Haiyan's impression. The maid in their impression should not be like this, but they also felt that there was nothing particularly surprising about Yang Haiyan.

Speaking of appearance, there are many beauties in the capital. Not to mention that Manager Chi is used to seeing all kinds of beauties in the harem. If Yang Haiyan is in the harem, she can only be considered average. Her appearance is indeed beautiful, but not outstanding. If I have to say something good, it's probably because of her temperament that she doesn't look like she was born as a maid.

Wei Ting's perception of Yang Haiyan was similar to that of Manager Chi, except that he had a temperament that resembled everyone's background, so he really didn't feel that he was too outstanding.

However, such a woman makes people very comfortable. Don't be flattery, have clear eyes and behave generously. Wei Ting thought to himself, she is indeed the maid next to the pearl of the capital. The pearl of the capital was so dazzling back then, but his younger brother... Thinking of this, Wei Ting could only sigh.

Qin Haiyan said with a smile: "I have met Master Wei and Manager Chi. Speaking of which, since we arrived in Yunxiang County, Master Wei and Manager Chi were the first guests in the house." In the past, when talking to Qin Fang, he was no longer soft-spoken. Now, his voice was still gentle, but much more generous than usual.

When Wei Ting heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "That's a bit embarrassing. Although we are guests, what should we do if the guests come without gifts?"

Manager Chi searched his body with both hands: "Indeed, I didn't prepare any gifts."

Qin Fang was confused: "..." Why did he end up here?

Yang Haiyan said: "It would be the best gift if you two can stay in this humble house for a few more days so that my husband can fulfill your friendship as landlords."

Wei Ting and Manager Chi looked at each other and smiled. This Mrs. Qin was indeed an extraordinary person. What they said just now was also intentional, with a bit of teasing embarrassment. However, this woman solved it easily.

A woman who can think of the land policy of the military camp and the use of saltpeter to make ice is indeed an extraordinary woman.

Mr. Chi said: "Although our family didn't prepare any gifts, we borrowed flowers to send to Buddha, and we also brought gifts to the Lord."

Yang Haiyan was stunned: "Xiang Jun?"

Manager Chi's face straightened: "The imperial edict has arrived, Qin Yang's Haiyan will receive it."

Yang Haiyan and others all knelt down: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Yang Haiyan's heart was beating loudly when she thought of the manager of Cai Chi calling her Xiangjun. Was this Xiangjun the Xiangjun she understood? Has the emperor made her the king of his hometown?

"According to the emperor's edict, the Qin Yang family Haiyan is virtuous, gentle, dignified and Shurui... She has served the country and is truly an example of a woman. She is canonized as a third-grade rural monarch with the title of Bingyun. Thank you for this!"

The Lord of the Third Grade Township was given a title?

This surprise came so suddenly that Yang Haiyan had not yet reacted.

When Qin Fang saw his wife kneeling blankly, he thought she liked her very much. He was shocked by the surprise, so he felt happy in his heart. If meritorious deeds could make his wife happy, he felt that he knew it. Qin Fang pulled Yang Haiyan's sleeve: "Yanyan?"

Yang Haiyan was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I was too surprised for the moment. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Manager Chi: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. Lord Xiang, accept the order and thank you."

Yang Haiyan: "Bingyun accepts the order, thank you for your grace." Bingyun, the emperor chose this title quite well. The ice should be ice made from saltpeter; the clouds should be clouds from Yunxiang County. Speaking of which, with this title, Yang Haiyan feels much more at ease than before. Even though there were many dignitaries in ancient times, she was the emperor's own concubine, not an ordinary official's family member. With the title, her status was naturally even higher. It made her feel a little bit of security even though she was alone in this strange world.

Yang Haiyan felt that whatever she lacked, the emperor would give her. This emperor was really kind. Speaking of which, in the novel, apart from making the wandering prince the prince and asking him to succeed him, the emperor was indeed a wise king in other matters.

Yang Haiyan stood up and accepted the imperial edict, her heart still beating hard. Although she guessed that the emperor's title of Xiangjun was related to Qin Fang's memorial, the title of Xiangjun was still beyond her expectation, but for the time being , she could only suppress her doubts. Yang Haiyan turned around and turned to Qin Fang: "Ms. sir, the two distinguished guests came from the capital. It must have been hard work all the way. I have ordered people to prepare snacks for the two distinguished guests to fill their stomachs first, and then they can have a rest and wait for them. Wake up and have dinner, don’t you think?”

Qin Fang felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, so he asked Manager Wei Ting and Chi: "What are you two doing?"

Wei Ting and Manager Chi rushed on the road quickly, because the matters at the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine were relatively tense, and they were worried that things might change later, so they did not dare to waste time on the road. Therefore, they have really worked hard along the way. Although I didn't feel uncomfortable with the food whenever I arrived at the place where I stayed, I was still very tired from traveling for days. At this moment, they also felt that Yang Haiyan's arrangement was appropriate.

Wei Ting said: "It's very appropriate. Then I won't bother the Lord of Qin's army."

Manager Chi: "We are also disturbed."

Yang Haiyan turned to Kunshi and said, "Captain Kun, you take our guests to the courtyard, and I'll go see the kitchen."

Kunshi: "Yes."

Kunshi led the way, and Qin Fang accompanied Wei Ting and Manager Chi to the guest house. The military mansion is large, but the simple environment inside also allowed Wei Ting and Manager Chi to have a better understanding of Qin Fang. For example, this General Qin is not a person who enjoys himself, and has a more honest character. Otherwise, such a large army must have some unique designs.

Kunshi led everyone to the front of the guest courtyard: "The courtyards of the two nobles are adjacent, and there is a guard standing guard at the entrance of each courtyard. The wife said that because she did not know the living habits of the two nobles, she did not directly arrange for them to serve. Sir, you can tell me your living habits, and your wife will choose someone to serve you." In fact, Yang Haiyan has not arranged anyone to serve you, but you can't say that.

Wei Ting said: "No need, I have someone with me. I will tell you if you need anything."

Mr. Chi said: "We don't have to wait for anyone anymore."

Qin Fang spoke at the right time: "Then Qin won't disturb you two. If you two have anything to do, you can send someone to call Qin."

Wei Ting and Manager Chi said in unison: "General Qin, you're welcome."

After Qin Fang left, Manager Wei Ting sent someone to prepare hot water for them to take a bath first. These days of traveling, even bathing is a must.

After they came out of the bath, Aunt Lian brought some snacks. They were all home snacks, which looked inconspicuous, but made people feel very attentive.

Manager Chi changed his clothes and watched the little eunuch arranging the dishes. He said, "It smells very fragrant. What are they eating?" As he said this, he came out from behind the screen.

The little eunuch said: "It's wontons, steamed buns, and some snacks. They are all ordinary things. I thought they would be some special food. It turns out that the General's Mansion doesn't care about the general manager."

Manager Chi glanced at him.

The little eunuch has been serving Manager Chi, and he can guess a little bit of Manager Chi's thoughts from the look in Manager Chi's eyes: "Manager, don't you think so?"

Manager Chi sat down, drank a few mouthfuls of warm water, and then picked up a pair of chopsticks of wontons: "It tastes pretty good."

When the little eunuch saw this, he became even more confused. When he is in the palace on weekdays, the steward is also a distinguished person, and his food is no worse than that of the nobles in the palace.

After the food manager took a bite of the wontons, he picked up a piece of red bean cake and ate it. The red bean cake with a slightly milky flavor tasted better. Manager Chi ate two pieces in one go. "This thing, it's just like people. Some people are so thoughtful and have two meanings in one sentence. Although their words sound nice, you will feel very panic when interacting with such people. It's the same with things. What's the meaning of thoughtful things on the outside? Worried about not being able to buy it? But this may not be the real intention of the owner. "

The little eunuch shook his head: "I don't understand this." In the palace, he was also a person who disliked good things. They all used money to do things, and whoever gave him more money was judged to be good-looking. In the past, Manager Chi was like this, but why not today?

The food manager didn't talk nonsense to him. He ate something to cushion his stomach and then went to bed.

Compared to Manager Chi, Wei Ting's side was quieter. He usually got off duty late, and the only things he prepared in the small kitchen were wonton dumplings and the like, so he was used to it.

Yang Haiyan took the imperial edict and asked Qin Fang in confusion: "Why did the emperor issue such an edict? What about you, sir? What did the emperor reward you for?"
