Chapter 123 Finally Found It
People from the palace came again and again, and even called Wei Qichen over once.
The next day, an imperial edict came down, and Wei Qichen became a Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, a newly added official position by His Majesty, in charge of agriculture.
"Yaoguang, what's going on?" Wei Qichen took the imperial edict and looked at Yaoguang in confusion.
How come he went to the yamen, was questioned by several officials for a while, and then came back with an official position?
Although he knew that this agricultural book was important, it was not something that could be treated as a joke!
Even though he had been an official before, he knew it was not easy to be reinstated, not to mention that he had been promoted several ranks.
To others, it might be a huge pie falling on their heads, but to Wei Qichen, he felt nothing but confusion and uneasiness.
It’s not easy to work in this officialdom!
"Uncle, I don't want the reward, so I gave it to you." Yaoguang stated the reason frankly.
She recounted what happened yesterday and shared her thoughts.
Since Wei Qichen wanted more people to have enough food, he naturally had to have more things in his hands. For example, being an official was a good choice.
There are rewards and people to help with work, and more importantly, one can directly participate in decision-making in the court and hold the right to speak in his own hands.
Isn't this better?
Yaoguang has read some books on politics. Although they were of no use, Yaoguang felt that a task could be accomplished faster by using the power of more people.
This way, I can realize my uncle's ideal and make full use of the reward, achieving the best of both worlds.
After hearing this, Wei Qichen was silent for a long time.
In Wei Qichen's opinion, Yaoguang thought too much about him. Knowing that he cared about the people, he let him be an official so that he could do better for the people.
He even transferred all the rewards from the palace to her, which led to his resignation!
And what can he do for Yaoguang?
"Yaoguang, do you know what these rewards mean?"
"I know!" mainly represents wealth and fame.
It may be important to people living in groups, but it doesn't mean much to her.
"I really feel unworthy of this position..." Wei Qichen said with a sigh, but suddenly his tone became relaxed, "Don't worry, Yaoguang, your uncle will not let you down."
Wei Qichen knew how important the agricultural book Yaoguang gave him was. Such a book, whether given to him or to the court, would ultimately be used for the people.
Although there are magical weapons, whether the person who controls the magical weapons can use them well is another matter. He may embezzle them or abuse his power.
This was one of the reasons why Wei Qichen resigned. He couldn't change the old rotten wood, and his influence was not strong enough, so he had no other choice but to let it go.
Now that he has returned to the officialdom after many twists and turns, and with such a sharp blade in his hand, he will be able to pave a path for future generations.
Seeing Wei Qichen's high morale, Yaoguang encouraged him: "Uncle, if you don't understand something, come and ask me. I will prepare other books for you."
"it is good!"
Since Wei Qichen was appointed as an official, the Qiao family's courtyard has become lively.
Many people came and said they were bringing gifts, some for Wei Qichen and some for Yaoguang. Wei Shiyuan didn't dare to accept them and went to ask Yaoguang.
Yaoguang: "Just tell them that they found the wrong yard. The one next door is the Wei family, and this is the Qiao family."
Wei Shiyuan agreed and told the servant guarding the gate to respond in the same way.
The servants from various prefectures who were sent to deliver gifts only knew the address and the name of the gift giver after being told by their masters.
But when they looked at the people they were going to give gifts to, one of them had the surname Wei and the other also had the surname Wei.
Is this really Qiao’s house?
The Wei family is next door. Could it be that they really have come to the wrong place?
For a while, he went around to the next door to give gifts.
There were only a few old servants guarding the gate of the Wei family's old house. Seeing that the people coming were slaves of high-ranking officials, they did not dare to act on their own.
He just said that all his masters had gone to other places to serve as officials and there was no one in the house.
The gift-giving team went around in circles and finally returned to their respective residences.
Neither family recognizes it!
Although Wei Qichen was a doctor, because it was a newly appointed official position, the government office had not prepared a workstation for him and even his official uniform had not been sewn.
The emperor showed mercy and allowed him to stay at home for a while longer, read more books, and prepare for the spring plowing next year.
All kinds of rewards were brought to Qiao's house.
The person who brought the reward was Cai Fan. The doorman recognized him and did not refuse it as he did before.
After Cai Fan had someone put the things down in the yard, he immediately went to Yaoguang to pay his respects.
"Miss Yaoguang, these are rewards from the palace. The queen and the princess have given you a lot of things..." Cai Fan muttered to himself.
Seeing that all the maids in the yard were wearing straw hats, he didn't notice Sun among them for a moment.
Until he saw Sun, he was so scared that he turned away immediately, fearing that he would scare her and be disliked by Miss Yaoguang!
Although Mr. Sun is old, he is not hard of hearing, nor is he blind!
She still remembered Cai Fan's voice. She heard him talking from a long distance away. After she got closer and saw clearly, she felt more certain.
"Isn't this Cai Fan?" Sun whispered in Yaoguang's ear, not as scared as before.
"Yes, aunt, you recognized him." Seeing that her aunt was not nervous, Yaoguang did not react much.
"Why is he here?"
"He came from the palace to bring gifts."
Sun recalled the past and then looked at the group of people standing behind Cai Fan.
He whispered to Yaoguang, "Is he serving in the palace?"
Yaoguang nodded.
Then she will understand!
No wonder! It turned out to be the eunuch in the palace who had made her worry for so long!
Considering that Cai Fan was a eunuch in the palace, it was understandable that Sun was so warm and considerate to Cai Fan, since he was a servant after all.
Sun was not worried that he was a beast plotting against Yaoguang, and that eunuchs were inhumane.
Yaoguang has now saved the queen and princess in the palace, and she will not be allowed to suffer any injustice in the palace.
Sun, who had been worried about this matter for a long time, finally felt relieved.
Seeing that Cai Fan was not as unfriendly as before, he invited him to sit down and have some tea and fruit.
Cai Fan was flattered by Sun's sudden enthusiasm!
Didn't Miss Yaoguang say that the old lady didn't like him? She told him to stay away, so why are you treating him so well?
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, the older she gets, the deeper the needle gets?
Cai Fan couldn't figure it out, but he felt relieved that he wouldn't have to be sneaky when he came to this mansion in the future.
-
After the news of Wei Qichen's appointment spread, Xu Yi met Wei Qichen in the palace and learned about Yaoguang's location.
It turned out to be in the Qiao residence next door to the Wei family? Why did he search for so long?
When the Wei family was banished from the capital, he secretly sent someone to follow the team for a long time to inquire whether Yaoguang was in it.
Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Yaoguang was gone, but he still couldn't find any trace of Yaoguang.
Today, he finally found it.
