Seeing the Meng family at a loss, Feng Zhihua could only take out a small pouch with a few golden beans and hand it to the little eunuch.
The little eunuch squinted his eyes and looked at Feng Zhihua. Then, he quietly stuffed the pouch into his sleeve and said with a fake smile, "It is indeed worthy of celebration! Lieutenant Meng, don't forget to report to the Ministry of Personnel later! "
Only then did Meng Youliang come back to his senses. He wanted to personally present the wedding money, but this time he only brought a total of a dozen copper coins. Moreover, the little eunuch had already received the wedding money from Feng Zhihua. If he were to present the wedding money again, it would be very inappropriate. Therefore, he put on a smiling face and stepped forward.
"Thank you for your reminder! I … uh, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow to report! "
The little eunuch faintly said, "En." Then, he took out an imperial edict and shouted with a sharp voice, "Where is Feng Zhihua ~?"
Feng Zhihua, who was standing next to Meng Youliang, suddenly opened his eyes wide and murmured in disbelief, "This eunuch, this one, this one is Feng Zhihua. Are you calling me?"
The little eunuch looked at Feng Zhihua in surprise. He didn't expect that the person who just gave him a "red packet" was the "main character" of the second imperial edict. However, he still had a good impression of Feng Zhihua, who was very discerning.
"En, that's right. It's you. Come forward and listen to the edict ~!"
The little eunuch said in a feminine voice.
"Ah ~? Listen to the edict ~? Listen to the edict ~? Oh, okay, okay. Feng Zhihua, listen to the imperial edict! "
Some people can maintain a very clear mind when they are bystanders. However, once something happens to them, their mind will immediately become chaotic. Feng Zhihua belongs to this kind of people. Now, his heart is still in a mess. He even stuttered when he spoke.
"The Tang Emperor decrees: Southbound merchant Feng Zhihua, who values friendship and righteousness, when the pirates attacked the fleet, he didn't panic in the face of danger. He joined hands with the crew to turn the tide and prevent the main fleet from suffering a huge loss. He is awarded the title of" Righteous Merchant ". He will live with the country for generations to show his appreciation.
"Wow ~!"
As soon as the little eunuch's voice fell, the surrounding people suddenly exclaimed in surprise. Feng Zhihua was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic, "Feng Zhihua accepts the decree, thank Your Majesty for your kindness ~!"
Since ancient times, the status of merchants had always been low, and they were often exploited by local officials. Moreover, after being exploited, they had to swallow their anger, and no one would seek justice for them. This was because the hierarchy of agriculture, industry, and commerce firmly nailed the merchants to the ground, and they would never be able to move!
But now that he had the title of Righteous Merchant, at the very least, when he walked around the local government, he would encounter fewer difficulties. To Feng Zhihua, this title was as valuable as gold! More importantly, the imperial edict had stated that this title of 'Righteous Merchant' would last for as long as the Great Tang existed. This meant that as long as the Great Tang existed, Feng Zhihua would always enjoy the treatment of a Righteous Merchant. Even if he died, this title would be passed on to his descendants. This benefit was simply too good!
It could be said that Feng Zhihua had now become the object of envy of all merchants in the world!
At this moment, Feng Zhihua trembled as he stepped forward to receive the imperial edict. Of course, it was inevitable that he stuffed a gold bean into the little eunuch's hands. But to Feng Zhihua, money was a small matter. This imperial edict was priceless!
"Alright, the edict has been passed. We should return to the palace ~!"
The little eunuch brushed his sleeves, turned around with a smile, and left with his entourage. He was rejoicing in his heart. Fortunately, he was not going to pass on the imperial edict to Li Zexuan. Otherwise, how could he get so much money? It was not that Li Zexuan was stingy, but he did not dare to accept the money given by Li Zexuan!
"Take care, Eunuch ~!"
Meng Youliang and the others hurriedly bowed to the back of the little eunuch.
After the little eunuch left, this place suddenly became a sea of joy.
"Boss Feng, thank you for just now. I will return the money to you later ~!"
Meng Youliang said.
Feng Zhihua was obviously very happy. His old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. He waved his hands and said:
"Haha ~! You don't need to return it? How much money can it be? It's not a problem! Youliang, now that you have an official position, this is the most joyous thing! I didn't expect that you would be an official one step ahead of your family's Wenhao. This is really beyond my expectations ~! "
In the end, without waiting for Meng Youliang to object, he continued with a smile and said: "Oh, let's quickly finish unloading the goods. After unloading, this old man will treat all of you to wine to celebrate for you, Youliang, and of course, for me ~!"
"This, how can this be? How can I let Boss Feng spend money? "
Feng Zhihua pretended to be angry and said: "Hey ~! Why can't this be? Youliang, now that you have an official position, you don't want to have any dealings with this old man ~? "
Meng Youliang hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, no, no, Boss Feng, what are you talking about? How can I, Meng Youliang, be a villain who only cares about profits and forgets righteousness ~? I definitely don't mean that. You misunderstood! "
Feng Zhihua laughed and said: "Since you don't mean that, then you, sister-in-law, your son, and your daughter can go together later. You are not allowed to refuse!"
… … …
"Butler Zhao, how have you been recently? The previous incident was my fault. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone berserk during cultivation and caused your realm to drop! "
At the Yunshan residence, Li Zexuan had already received the imperial edict and was chatting with Zhao Song, whom he hadn't seen for a few months!
"Sigh, Marquis Yong 'an, please don't say that. The matter of compressing my Qi for cultivation was purely voluntary. You have already explained the risks involved. If something happened in the end, it can't be blamed on you ~! A while ago, I heard that His Majesty blamed you because of this. I felt very apologetic in my heart and have been wanting to visit you to apologize ~! As for the drop in realm, so be it. We can just cultivate again ~! "
Zhao Song was drinking tea. When he heard Li Zexuan say this, he hurriedly put down his teacup and said.
Li Zexuan smiled knowingly. He thought to himself that Zhao Song was an open-minded and straightforward person. One had to know that the realm of martial arts was the lifeblood of many martial artists. A drop in realm was equivalent to taking away one's life! If this happened to others, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't resent it.
"Hehe ~! With Butler Zhao's state of mind, it's only a matter of time before you break through to the Great Grandmaster realm! Let's not blame this and that. If Butler Zhao is free in the future, I will treat you to wine ~! "
More haste, less speed. In order to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm, not only did one need to make a breakthrough in strength, one also needed to make a breakthrough in one's state of mind. Li Zexuan felt that the current Zhao Song looked more mature and reserved than before. In such a state, the chances of him breaking through to the Great Grandmaster realm were undoubtedly higher!
"Thank you for your auspicious words ~!"
Zhao Song pursed his lips and smiled faintly.
