Chapter 725 The gift of wax

The Imperial Court's La Gift In the following days, Hualei prepared for the New Year peacefully. In the past six months, since I arrived in Xichang Prefecture, I have been busy and busy, and it is really very hard.

She also wanted to take advantage of the New Year period to have a good rest and spend time with Jinnian and Jinshi.

However, what was unexpected was that six or seven days before the Chinese New Year, the La gift awarded by Emperor Shengwu was delivered to the Xichang government office.

Hua Lei was pulled up from the bed by Qingqi and Qinghua, put on official clothes, and came to the outside of the government office with Rong Jin. She was still in a daze.

Outside the government office, dozens of carriages loaded with various supplies were parked there in a row. After being pulled by Rong Jin to kneel and listen to the imperial edict, Hua Lei realized that this was a special gift from Emperor Shengwu to her.

But there seems to be no such example in the Great Sheng Dynasty? Didn't Emperor Shengwu distribute the Laci to officials in the capital?

Moreover, officials went directly to the Ministry of Rites to collect them. When will local officials also receive the Laci awarded by Emperor Shengwu? Can it be delivered to the local areas?

Hua Lei was very confused. Was it because of the extra 50% tax grain? Or was it because of the threshing machine she had developed? However, this was not enough for Emperor Shengwu to make an exception, right?

After kneeling down to listen to the imperial edict, Hua Lei finally understood that it was not the case, but because of the excellent rice plan she mentioned in her work report. So that's how it was. After kneeling down to thank the emperor, Hua Lei happily accepted the rewards.

Of course, he pretended to be terrified and ashamed, and immediately wrote a memorial praising the emperor's achievements and vowing to devote himself to the emperor in the future. He asked the official who delivered the imperial edict to help take it back.

After the carriage carrying the Laci returned to the capital, Hua Lei summoned the officials who had gone home to rest and returned to the government office to prepare to distribute the Laci awarded by Emperor Shengwu to the officials in the government office.

Wan Tongpan and Feng Shuangxi, who rushed back to the government office first, were stunned when they heard Hua Lei's order. This was a reward from the emperor to Hua Lei, how could Hua Lei be willing to share it with his subordinates?

Seeing Hualei's face as if it was a matter of course, the two still hesitated to ask the doubts in their hearts. After getting Hualei's definite answer, they were excited all of a sudden.

How could I have deserved the gift of the emperor? My ancestors were so happy that smoke was coming out of their graves. So, these officials happily worked for another two or three days.

All the Laci sent by Emperor Shengwu was distributed to these local officials, and even the officials in the prefectures and counties below were not left out.

Because there were too many people and too little food, each person might have only gotten a small piece of bacon, or a piece of fabric that was not enough to make a piece of clothing.

However, they were all treated as treasures and taken home by these officials, where they were enshrined in ancestral temples and treated like heirlooms.

It turned out that even though they were at the very edge of the Great Sheng Dynasty, they were still remembered by the emperor. Holding the La gift from Emperor Shengwu, these officials felt extremely honored and were even more convinced of Hua Lei.

Hualei has always been very good at winning people's hearts. Therefore, even if he was a thousand households, Hualei took out a jar of sake from the Laci and sent it to him.

In the future, Xichang Prefecture will have many things to do and will need the help of the Anbang soldiers. Hualei thought it was a good deal to buy more than 2,000 free laborers with a jar of wine.

Sure enough, after receiving the sake, Bao Qianhu was grateful to Emperor Shengwu and devoted to Hua Lei. If he just wanted to keep his official position, he had to succumb to Hua Lei's threats.

Now, he sincerely obeyed Yu Hualei's orders. In the following years, no matter what Yu Hualei asked him to do, he had no objection and conscientiously carried out Yu Hualei's orders.

After distributing the gifts from Emperor Shengwu, the government office, which had been bustling for several days, finally quieted down. Hua Lei and Rong Jin also returned to their residence in the back.

In a few days, it was New Year's Eve. This was the first time since Hua Lei and Rong Jin got married that they spent the New Year away from home with their children. While missing home, Hua Lei also felt very relaxed.

When I was in Mobei, I would have reunion dinner with Pei Jingyang and Madam Han during the New Year. Because Rong Jin and Pei Jingyang protected me, Madam Han never made things difficult for me.

When she went to the capital, Lord Pei and Madam Pei did not make things difficult for her. However, as a daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, Hua Lei could not help but restrain herself and do her duty conscientiously.

However, this year is different. Here, there are only me and Rong Jin, and everyone else has to listen to me. Therefore, psychologically, I will naturally relax a lot.

In addition, even in winter, the lowest temperature here is 7 or 8 degrees, and it is very warm at night. Therefore, the couple's exercise with Rong Jin was also very enjoyable.

Over the past six months, Hua Lei has been busy every day and exhausted. She falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow at night. Many times, she is unable to meet Rong Jin's needs.

So, now that it was a holiday, and there were no elders around, waiting for her to greet them in the morning. Therefore, in order to make up for Rong Jin, Hua Lei also let go of herself and let Rong Jin do whatever he wanted.

In this regard, Hualei had seen a lot in her previous life and knew the importance of the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, she was very open in front of Rong Jin and would actively cooperate with all the strange requests made by Rong Jin every time.

Moreover, under Rong Jin's invincible silver spear, Hua Lei could taste the ultimate joy of being a woman every time, so she cooperated more actively.

In this regard, the two of them really got along well. So, during this period, the two of them "partied every night" all night long.

That night, after another passionate couple's exercise, Hualei lay softly in Rong Jin's arms and asked softly, "Husband, are you happy?"

"Yeah." Rong Jin hugged Hua Lei's waist tightly and said with satisfaction.

"My husband, what I want to ask is, have you been happy in the past six months? You gave up your job as an editor in the Imperial Academy and followed me to Xichang Prefecture, and now you are working under me. Do you feel wronged? Do you regret following me to Xichang Prefecture?"

“.......No......” In the darkness, Rong Jin’s voice was a little hoarse.

"Really?" Hua Lei turned Rong Jin's face with her hand and asked again.

Following Hua Lei's force, Rong Jin naturally turned his body to the side, buried his head in Hua Lei's chest, and his hands naturally grasped a piece of softness.

"Husband, I'm talking to you." Hua Lei slapped Rong Jin's hand and said dissatisfiedly.

Rong Jin sighed softly, reluctantly let go of the softness in his hands, put his arms around Hua Lei's waist, and said helplessly.

"Sister Hua, you have asked me this question at least eight times, not ten times. You ask me this question almost every month, and my answer has never changed."
