Chapter 1910: Chapter 1910: Third-Rank Official (2)
Butler Ping nodded, "I’ve been suffering from insomnia, but madam’s medicinal tea cured it."
"Well... there isn’t much at home now, just a few pears. If everyone doesn’t mind..."
"We don’t mind." Butler Ping hurriedly spoke up before anyone else could, then quickly realized it might have been inappropriate and awkwardly chuckled, "I mean, madam’s items are all good things, how could we mind?" Who doesn’t know by now? The food from the Gu Family’s madam is top quality. Didn’t you see the Emperor and Empress Dowager almost fighting over a piece of radish? And he once had the honor of receiving the Emperor’s reward of a radish end.
Yang Ruxin promptly asked Du Yunpeng to bring over two baskets, placing four large pears in each.
"Since the Emperor didn’t bring much, please don’t mind, Sir Chou and Butler Ping." Yang Ruxin showed an apologetic expression, although her space now has approximately several thousand pounds of pears and is constantly increasing, she cannot take them out as she wishes, lest it arouses suspicion.
"Great, madam is so generous, we’re even more grateful." Butler Ping’s face broke into a delighted smile; this was much better than giving him Silver.
A few days ago, he overheard Bin Kui mentioning how truly delicious they were, and how the Bin Family’s old lady’s cough had improved a lot. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specifically fought for the task of accompanying Sir Chou over to announce the decree today.
Although Sir Chou didn’t know how these pears tasted, seeing Butler Ping so impatient, he felt his trip was worthwhile and hurriedly nodded along.
"Excuse me, I need to ask, what rank is my title?" Yang Ruxin then showed a slightly embarrassed smile, "I don’t know, I’m not sure. In the future, if I meet someone with a higher rank it will be embarrassing..."
"Haha..." Sir Chou was stunned for a moment and then laughed aloud, "Madam, this was specially designated by the Emperor, a proper third-rank. Strictly speaking, you’re even eligible to attend the morning court..."
"What?" Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but open her mouth wide.
"Rest assured, Sir Chou is just teasing madam. Having the qualification doesn’t mean you have to go..." Butler Ping quickly explained.
"Nearly scared me to death." Yang Ruxin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As the Ministry of Rites’ procession prepared to leave, Gu Qingheng stretched out his hand and carried Yang Ruxin horizontally, turning to head back.
"What are you doing?" Yang Ruxin was startled.
"You’re not convenient." Gu Qingheng said with great seriousness.
Yang Ruxin couldn’t help but giggle, even though she was being watched by many, she didn’t feel embarrassed, instead she looped her arms around his neck, "Then it’s hard work for my man."
"More than willing to serve madam." Gu Qingheng raised an eyebrow, "Your rank is higher than mine now, I must curry favor well."
"Don’t worry, I’ll surely take care of you in the future." Yang Ruxin pinched Gu Qingheng’s face.
"Yes, from now on I’ll rely on madam..."
The surrounding servants all blushed with embarrassment, but in their hearts, they were all envious.
Ordinarily, after being bestowed a title, one must enter the palace to give thanks, but due to Yang Ruxin’s health issues, the Emperor specially granted leniency for her to enter the palace in three days.
During this period, people continually came to offer congratulations, both those familiar and unfamiliar, some genuinely celebrating, others just coming to curry favor, but regardless of their intentions, the Gu Family treated everyone equally.
