Chapter 514 Shen Wansan’s helplessness
Shen family, flower hall.
Ye Xuan and others had completed the proper New Year greeting rituals and had just sat down to rest when a servant's announcement came from outside.
"Master, someone from the palace has come to deliver the order."
When they heard that the decree was coming from the palace, everyone naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Shen Wansan quickly urged everyone in the mansion to prepare incense tables and other items to receive the order.
As for what Ye Xuan was thinking about at this moment, it was only the first day of the Lunar New Year, so why would there be a decree sent to him.
Although he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang started working overtime on New Year's Day, he didn't feel that anything on New Year's Day had anything to do with him.
Although he is the Yin of Yingtian Mansion, not everything in Yingtian Mansion requires his intervention.
Besides, this Chinese New Year has not yet begun to handle the case, so what could possibly alarm the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang?
Suspicious in his heart, Ye Xuan simply stopped thinking about it and went straight out of the room to see the person who delivered the order.
The eunuch had been waiting for a long time when the order was announced outside.
Seeing Ye Xuan, he immediately came up to him with a smile on his face. He had been in the palace for a long time, so he naturally knew Zhu Yuanzhang's great love for Lord Ye Xuan.
In addition, Ye Xuan is famous for being generous, and now that it is the Chinese New Year, he knows in his heart that as long as he observes etiquette, Ye Xuan will never lose him.
"Master Ye, our family would like to congratulate you first."
Before Ye Xuan could come to his senses as he spoke, the eunuch had already taken out a letter from his arms.
"This is the gift list given by the emperor. You can check it out with School Disciple later."
Perhaps feeling that there were too many people, the eunuch winked at Ye Xuan while speaking.
Ye Xuan had also seen the world, so he understood immediately and led the eunuch aside.
"I really don't understand what my father-in-law just said, please give me some guidance.
Ye Xuan didn't waste any time and asked directly. He took out a piece of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the other party's hand.
The eunuch didn't dare to be disrespectful at first, but now that he has received money from others, he is naturally more respectful.
He cupped his hands towards Ye Xuan and said with a smile on his face: "As you said, our family is here to convey orders, not to make money. Why are you so polite?"
Ye Xuan ignored him and just pushed back the money he pretended to return.
When the eunuch saw this, he was even more happy and quickly explained.
"Your Majesty is in a good mood today and has given you the second-grade court uniform. This is unprecedented. It is hard to say whether this kind of thing will happen again in the Ming Dynasty in the future!"
Hearing the eunuch's words, Ye Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Now he really couldn't understand Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't reward him with anything at the banquet yesterday.
But turning around, it was only the first day of the new year and yet he was given such a huge reward.
If the gold and silver were soft and soft, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, I didn't lack these.
Even if he is given another royal wife, Ye Xuan won't care.
After all, these things have precedents to follow, but this is the first time that a third-grade official wears a second-grade court uniform.
In the Song Dynasty, there was a rule of flying officials, which meant that on important occasions, officials with insufficient grade were given a special gift and allowed to wear court uniforms corresponding to their grade.
However, it is mostly used in diplomacy to show respect for other countries, and it can also be worn in unusual circumstances.
Moreover, those officials will often be promoted quickly and become genuine corresponding grades.
But what's going on with him? Is it possible that he just settled down in Yingtian Mansion, and Zhu Yuanzhang wants to use him again?
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Xuan not only had a headache.
But in front of his sister, he couldn't show anything, so he could only say thank you, and then follow the etiquette and receive the imperial edict together with everyone.
After sending the eunuch back to resume his duties, Ye Xuan was planning to go back to rest for a while and think about the secrets here.
As a result, Shen Wansan stopped him with excitement on his face.
"busy?"
Ye Xuan looked slightly stunned, but he had already thought of Shen Wansan's purpose the moment he opened his mouth.
Shen Wansan had a flattering smile on his face and said, "Good son-in-law, you've really made us blush!"
Seeing Shen Wansan's reaction, Ye Xuan felt quite helpless, but he could only answer in agreement.
"I am where I am today thanks to the support of my father-in-law and the Shen family! If nothing else, I will go and rest for a while. I will have to write a memorial later to thank you!"
Naturally, Ye Xuan could not return the gifts and rewards he had received to Zhu Yuanzhang, so all he could do was to take advantage of them.
Seeing that Ye Xuan was leaving, Shen Wansan quickly got to the point.
"My good son-in-law is staying! What I actually want to say is that another foreign businessman found me today. They gave me generous gifts and said they were paying New Year greetings, but from what they meant, it was clear that they still wanted to have a relationship with you! I can't make the decision. , so I didn’t dare to agree.”
…………Please give me flowers………………
Hearing this, Ye Xuan finally understood everything.
He replied impatiently: "Since I didn't agree, that's it. Why do you have to tell me everything?"
Shen San had a bitter look on his face and said: "But they are sincere and offered a high price. I always have to tell you, I can't tell you, this is an opportunity."
This time, before Ye Xuan could speak, Shen Rong answered first.
"Father, my daughter knows that you have good intentions, but our family already has enough money, so why should you be persistent? If Ye Xuan listens to you and really causes some trouble, it will be a disaster that will destroy the family.
"Now that our Shen family has such a status, aren't you satisfied? Looking at ancient and modern times, apart from those powerful officials, who else can compare with Ye Xuan? What an honor it is for a third-grade official to wear a second-grade court uniform? Isn't this enough? "
Shen Wansan always loved his daughter, and Shen Rong's words were not unreasonable, so for a moment, he was speechless and even blushed.
Looking at Shen Wansan for help, Ye Xuan had no choice but to speak.
"Okay, let's end this matter. No matter what price they offer from now on, don't agree to it. There will naturally be benefits for you later."
Having said this, Ye Xuan walked straight towards the inner house regardless of what Shen Wansan was thinking.
Shen Rong glanced at her father, a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes, and then chased after him.
After the two left, Shen Wansan shook his head and returned to his original position.
Now when he looked at the food on the table, even though it was delicious and delicious, it had lost its appeal to him.
The rest of the Shen family could see it, but they were unwilling to touch their brows at this time, so they all lost interest.
At almost the same time, there was also confusion and shock in Yingtian Mansion.
Zhao Kaifeng sat on the chair with a stunned expression on his face.
"Is this news true? Could it be a mistake?"
He asked Luke's friend opposite, but his eyes were full of excitement.
Luyou smiled and replied: "How could such a thing go wrong? The imperial edict has already been sent to the Shen family."
With that said, he stretched out his hand to pull Zhao Kaifeng's arm, trying to pull him out. .
