Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Yun Shengsheng smiled a little shyly: "Brother-in-law, you're too kind. I also read about it in a book and just wanted to share it with my family."

Yun Huaikang pulled Fan Sibo down to sit, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "It really comes down to my little daughter! Everything she said is perfectly proper. From now on, our family will do exactly as you said!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be beaten by Dad!"

Gan Yuwan hugged Yun Shengsheng and kissed her: "Yes, yes, Mother will listen to you!"

Yun Xiaoxiao and Yun Pianpian exchanged a glance and quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, we'll listen too."

Their little sister is incredibly talented; I feel like if she were a boy, she could easily become the top scholar in the imperial examinations.

Yun Ziyan smiled and said, "What my little sister said is very good. I will write these down in a moment. They can serve as the family precepts of our Yun family and be passed down to future generations."

Yun Shengsheng blinked: "Well, it's not that bad!"

Yun Huaikang clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Ziyan is right. Write it down, frame it, and hang it in the center of the front hall. We can refer to it before doing anything in the future."

Yun Shengsheng: "..."

Okay, anyway, I've achieved my goal!

Yun Huaikang had previously considered building a cellar at home specifically to store silver, but after listening to Sheng Sheng's advice, he changed his mind.

The cellar still needs to be dug, but it doesn't need to be as big. He plans to use half of the profits for this project.

He copied the accounts overnight and went to the Crown Prince's residence early the next morning.

Yan Shijin took the bill and read it from beginning to end. Even though he was used to seeing all kinds of bills from all over the world, he was really surprised.

The Yun family's foundation was still shallow, yet they earned more than 500,000 taels of silver in a year, which was equivalent to one-tenth of the national treasury.

Upon seeing that the Yun family voluntarily contributed 100,000 taels to the national treasury and 100,000 taels to the emperor's private treasury, he nodded, turned around, and took him into the palace to see the emperor.

This was Yun Huaikang's first time entering the palace, and he was somewhat apprehensive.

Yan Shijin smiled and said, "Uncle, there's no need to be nervous. It's just a change of location."

Yun Huaikang smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not nervous."

Yan Shijin sighed, "See? Not everyone is like Shengsheng, who feels at home no matter where he goes."

In the main hall, after Yun Huaikang kowtowed to the emperor, he was offered a seat.

He was overwhelmed with gratitude again, and in the end, he was so nervous that he only sat on one side of the chair, with half of his buttocks still hanging outside.

The Emperor asked with amusement, "Minister Yun, what brings you to the palace this time?"

When the emperor was still the crown prince, the two had met privately several times and were already quite familiar with each other.

However, Yun Huaikang dared not try to curry favor with them and honestly explained his plans.

The emperor was surprised. He took the accounts and looked at them, and was also astonished by the speed at which the Yun family made money. He then thought that he himself owed so much wealth to the Yun family's methods. With this in mind, the emperor became even more lenient towards Yun Huaikang.

Since it was money being given to him, the emperor did not refuse.

Once war breaks out, it becomes a bottomless pit. Food, military supplies, relief, and postal services are all being asked for money everywhere. No amount of money is ever enough.

The emperor trusted the Yun family's loyalty and was willing to give them face and convenience. Taking this as an excuse, he directly listed the Yun family as imperial merchants, treating them the same as Sun Chang.

The two companies happen to have different development directions, which can complement each other.

He also bestowed upon Yun Huaikang a nominal position as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, which was considered an honorary title. In the future, he would no longer need to kneel and bow when he met officials, and his female relatives would not be suppressed everywhere when they went out.

Yun Huaikang was extremely excited and repeatedly kowtowed to the emperor to express his gratitude.

As if remembering something, the emperor asked, "I heard you have a daughter who serves as a lady-in-waiting in the palace?"

Yun Huaikang trembled slightly and nodded, "Your Majesty, yes, my third daughter, Yun Shuangshuang, is in the palace, but I don't know exactly what she does!"

Yun Huaikang awkwardly scratched the back of his head; he looked like an honest man.

The emperor nodded: "Alright, then transfer her to serve in the imperial court."

He had just ascended the throne and needed people everywhere, and after getting to know the Yun family, he found that everyone in the family was quite good.

Yun Huaikang was taken aback, not understanding, but still thanked him excitedly.

On the carriage leaving the palace, Yan Shijin smiled and explained to him, "Uncle, don't worry. Although Shengsheng's third sister's position is a lateral transfer without promotion, working in front of the emperor is much better than working elsewhere."

He spoke cryptically, but Yun Huaikang understood.

This is similar to the difference between local officials and officials in the capital. Even if they are of the same rank, officials in the capital have more power and status, and people are eager to become officials in the capital.

He quickly clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

As soon as Yun Huaikang entered the house, his whole family surrounded him, eager to know the outcome, what the emperor said, and whether he had taken their money.

Yun Huaikang immediately stepped aside, revealing the eunuch delivering the imperial edict beside him.

The family saw it, but hadn't yet reacted.

The eunuch was a young man. He knew how much the emperor valued this family; they even had a daughter in the palace who had been transferred to the emperor's side.

So the father-in-law smiled and explained the rules for reading the imperial edict.

The Yun family members were shocked and immediately knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.

Even Zhao Shi, Xu Lingniang, and the two little children came. The youngest, Fan Yufeng, was forced to lie face down, sprawled out.

This is an imperial edict! Even minor officials probably wouldn't get to see it, yet this family of merchants actually did. It's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke.

After everyone had arrived, the father-in-law finally spoke:

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Now there is a merchant from the Yun family..."

The document was quite lengthy, but its main point was that the Yun family had donated money, which pleased the emperor, who then bestowed upon Yun Huaikang the position of a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Works.

After the eunuch finished reading, Yun Huaikang accepted the imperial decree.

Xu Lingniang quickly stepped forward and offered a purse.

Yun Shengsheng nodded in agreement: "Mr. Xu really knows how to get things done."

The father-in-law took the money and left.

The whole family was overjoyed and danced with excitement, unable to believe that they could have received an imperial edict.

Of course, the happiest person was Yun Huaikang, who had actually become an official! For a merchant like him to become an official was something he had never dared to dream of before.

Yun Huaikang's eyes crinkled with laughter: "Oh, right, that's not all. Did you know that our third daughter has also been transferred to serve in the Imperial Guard? His Highness the Crown Prince told me she's very capable!"

The family was excited again.

Xu Lingniang reminded them, "Don't be so happy. The imperial edict is very valuable and cannot be displayed casually. Otherwise, you will be accused of disrespecting imperial authority."

Yun Huaikang and the others didn't understand any of this, and they all stared at Xu Lingniang with wide, curious, and somewhat silly eyes.

Xu Lingniang explained speechlessly, "Imperial edicts are usually enshrined in the family ancestral hall, but you don't have an ancestral hall in the capital, so you have to set aside a special room for it."

"Alright, alright, come with me! To the east courtyard, there's a suitable room there..."
