Chapter 593 Humanity and Sophistication
After hearing this, Yun Hua rummaged through his sleeves, pulled out a crumpled piece of paper, and handed it to Lu Chuan. "Here, everything you need to prepare is on it. There's nothing special about it. They're all common things that aren't difficult to put together."
Lu Chuan took it, opened it and took a look. Seeing that the thing was indeed common, he handed it to Xu Han beside him and asked her to take a look too.
"We already have many of the things here at home. I'll ask Juxiang to prepare them later. You can buy the rest when you have nothing to do in the afternoon." After Xu Han finished speaking, she looked at Lu Chuan, waiting for his reply.
Lu Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, ask Juxiang to circle the things that need to be bought, and I will go buy them this afternoon."
After confirming what needed to be prepared for receiving the imperial edict tomorrow, Yunhua explained the process of receiving the imperial edict to the two of them again, as well as the etiquette that needed to be performed when receiving the imperial edict, and explained everything in detail.
"That's about the procedure. You don't have to be nervous tomorrow. I'll be watching from the side and remind you two if anything happens."
Even though Xu Han had seen all kinds of things in his previous life, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but more excited.
Just think about it, you will be an official tomorrow, and in modern times, that means you are within the system.
How can I not be excited if I accomplish in this life what I didn’t accomplish in my previous life?
Not only is he within the system, but he also holds a minor official position. More importantly, he can get a salary without doing any work. Isn't this even more exciting?
Of course, Yunhua had revealed the matter of the official position long ago, otherwise Xu Han would not have been so excited just because he had land and money.
But Yunhua did not say what the specific official position was, nor did he tell them whether there were any other rewards besides the official position.
"Hahaha, it would be boring to tell you two now. You will know when the imperial edict arrives tomorrow. Don't worry, it will definitely surprise you two."
After hearing what Yun Hua said, the two became even more curious. But this time Yun Hua kept his mouth shut. No matter how Lu Chuan and Xu Han threatened him, he refused to reveal anything and finally hid back in his room.
The two had no choice but to stay at home for a while and then go about their own business.
There will be a lot of things to do tomorrow as ordered. Time is running out, so we need to arrange them quickly.
That night, neither the couple slept well.
It could be that they are full of hope for the future, or it could be that they are afraid that others will covet their family once their status becomes high.
All in all, both of them felt that the night was very long and they did not sleep well.
It was not until the middle of the night that the two of them fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next morning, Xu Han got up early.
I personally checked every corner of the house and confirmed that there were no special problems before I felt relieved.
After breakfast, Xu Han asked Li Wen and Juxiang to put things out.
Last night, Xu Han informed them both to come home after breakfast, but did not tell them what to do specifically.
At this time, the two were being directed by Yunhua to place the things needed to prepare for receiving the imperial edict. While they were busy, they were curious and had some vague guesses in their hearts.
But after all, they had never actually seen that scene, so they could only suppress the excitement and curiosity deep in their hearts and follow the orders.
Yun Hua looked at the things that were prepared and said to the two of them, "It's still early, you should change your clothes and clean yourself up."
"Okay, Juxiang, come and help me."
After Xu Han finished speaking, she walked back to the inner courtyard first. With the help of Juxiang, she took a bath and changed into the clothes and jewelry she had picked out yesterday.
Normally, Xu Han seldom wears jewelry, mainly because it is inconvenient when working.
In order to receive the imperial edict this time, Xu Han specially took out all the jewelry that the Taoist priest had given her last night.
She matched some jewelry according to the color of her clothes, but considering that her family was a farmer, she didn't dare to dress up too much.
Overall, it can't be said to be gorgeous and expensive, but it doesn't look too shabby either, which is very suitable for her current status.
After getting dressed, Xu Han turned around in front of the bronze mirror and asked, "Juxiang, how about I wear this dress to receive the imperial edict?"
When Juxiang heard this, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, and she froze. It was hard to imagine that her guess was confirmed, and she was completely stiff.
I was so excited that I thought to myself, "Madam, what else is going on in our family that we don't even know about?
How come you always say something shocking without realizing it? Are you really unaware of how shocking your words are to us?
Could you please consider the feelings of us servants and at least tell us about it earlier?
We were told this only when it happened, it really is life-threatening!"
Of course, Juxiang didn't dare say these words to her face and could only complain silently in her heart.
After being stunned for a while, Juxiang immediately came back to her senses, looked carefully up and down, and then said, "Madam, this dress is very suitable for your current status. It is neither too shabby nor too grand."
Xu Han smiled with satisfaction when he heard that, turned around and went to the front yard. Seeing this, Juxiang immediately followed.
When they came out, they happened to meet Lu Chuan and Li Wen. When Lu Chuan saw Xu Han coming out, he immediately walked over and said, "I was just about to look for you. It's a good opportunity for us to go together."
After that, the couple walked forward side by side. Juxiang and Li Wen kept exchanging glances behind them. They both saw shock in each other's eyes, as if to say, "You knew it too? I just knew it? What should I do? I'm so nervous."
Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn't care how they communicated, they were also very excited at the moment!
Especially the feeling of knowing that it is a good thing but not knowing what it is, it feels like opening a blind box, both exciting and thrilling.
After everyone was ready, they heard the sounds of gongs, drums and firecrackers from afar, slowly coming towards them.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan looked at each other and turned to look at Yun Hua.
Yun Hua chuckled and said, "Here he comes. I didn't expect that the county magistrate is quite capable. He came here without any hassles along the way.
Not bad, not bad, he really has a good grasp of the ways of the world."
When ordinary people receive an imperial edict, there is no such a big scene. At most, the team delivering the edict will have more people, or the host family will be informed in advance so that the host family can attach more importance to it and make it grand.
Good man, the county magistrate has really put a lot of effort into building momentum for Xu Han. The couple must owe this favor anyway.
However, the county magistrate's actions did indeed bring more benefits than disadvantages to Xu Han and the others.
After this incident, in this county, as long as Xu Han's family did not commit suicide, no one would dare to provoke them.
It is even possible that their family will become the largest and most powerful family in the county in the future.
