The wind and rain in the court cannot hit Ning Fu's home for the time being.

After searching the last infected area, Ning Fu's mission was finally completed.

Officials like Liu Zheng were responsible for subsequent patient treatment and vaccination.

So that afternoon, Ning Fu took the bus home.

The streets of the capital were once again lively. With the smallpox epidemic under control, people could finally go out on the streets with confidence.

Ning Fu turned to Yu Street and bought some gifts for his family, not only Liu Qingxin, but also Siqin and several other servants.

After returning home with the gift, Si Qin also screamed in surprise when he saw Ning Fu.

"A gift for you and Shi Hua!"

Ning Fu handed the gift to Siqin and then walked towards the inner house.

Si Qin was stunned for a moment after receiving the gift, and then became ecstatic. This was the first time someone had given her a gift in her life.

But soon Si Qin caught up with Ning Fu and said, "Thank you for the gift from my uncle. Madam is waiting for guests in the inner house."

"Miss Li is here again?"

Ning Fu asked with a smile. He was not at home during this period, and Li Qingzhao came to see Liu Qingxin almost every day.

"Not only Miss Li, Miss Cai is also here, but she and Miss Li have bad tempers, and they often quarrel."

Siqin answered again.

"Why does Cai Bian's daughter always come to my house?"

Ning Fu whispered to himself, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He and Cai Bian had no grudges, but Cai Jing did hate him.

When I arrived at the study room of the inner house, I heard Li Qingzhao's disgusted voice coming from inside before I even entered:

"Your words are too ugly!"

"Qingzhao, please stop saying a few words. Sister Cai's calligraphy is pretty good."

Liu Qingxin's voice of persuasion came, followed closely by Miss Cai's voice.

"Sister Liu is still kind to me. No matter how ugly my handwriting is, can it still be uglier than brother-in-law Ning's?"

Ning Fu was lying outside the door and was shot: Who did I provoke?

"Cough~"

Ning Fu coughed lightly and then stepped into the study.

"Official!"

When Liu Qingxin saw Ning Fu come in, she immediately jumped up excitedly.

I wanted to fly into Ning Fu's arms, but after taking a few steps, I thought of the presence of outsiders, so I stopped forcibly.

"Thank you for your hard work, officials. Are you finished with all the work in the epidemic area?"

"It's almost done. My father-in-law and the others are taking care of the rest, so I'm back."

Ning Fu replied with a smile.

"Is my father back?"

Li Qingzhao also asked eagerly at this time.

Li Gefei almost entered the epidemic area with Ning Fu. Of course, his family was very worried during this period.

"Li Xuezheng knows medical skills. He and some imperial students are busy going around vaccinating people with cowpox. It is estimated that they will not be able to come back in a short time."

Ning Fu replied with a smile.

The real reason was that Li Gefei did not dare to come back, lest Zhang Dun would send him to sort out the ministerial memorials from the Yuanyou period.

"My father is also true. He studied hard and did not practice correction, but ran away to get medical correction!"

Li Qingzhao pouted and said with an unhappy face.

Ning Fu did not explain to Li Qingzhao that she was too young and no matter how smart she was, she would not understand the intrigues in the court.

"Smallpox has harmed countless people, and now it is finally subdued by my brother-in-law. For such a great contribution, the court will definitely reward him heavily, and maybe even give him an official position!"

Cai Yan said with a slightly red face. He didn't know if Ning Fu heard what he just said.

"It's not important to be given an official position. In fact, it's quite good to live peacefully now!"

Liu Qingxin suddenly said.

This made Li Qingzhao and Cai Yan look at her in surprise. In the past, Liu Qingxin wanted Ning Fu to take the exam, but why did she suddenly change so much now?

Liu Qingxin's face turned red when Li Qingzhao and the two looked at her, and she immediately said angrily: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"My mother is right, a woman changes a lot after she gets married!"

Li Qingzhao said thoughtfully, as if he was imagining what he would look like after getting married.

"The imperial court will handle the matter of rewards. What were you writing just now? It looked very lively?"

Ning Fu interrupted the conversation between the three of them and asked with a smile.

"Ah! Don't look at it!"

Unexpectedly, Li Qingzhao stretched out his hand and immediately put away what he had written.

Cai Yan also blushed, folded the paper in front of him and put it in his sleeve, obviously not wanting Ning Fu to read it.

"Eh? Isn't this...isn't this the Case of Di Gong that I wrote?"

Ning Fu suddenly found an open book on the table, which was the script he had written for Zhang Tiezui.

"This book is very popular in the market. It is not easy to buy it even if you have money. I also spent a lot of effort to buy it from the bookstore!"

Li Qingzhao asked Ning again for merit.

"Who asked for it to be published, but I didn't even receive a single penny in publishing fees?"

Ning Fu turned over it twice but was speechless.

There are many differences between the content in it and what he wrote, with some additions and deletions in some places. It is likely that someone else wrote it down after listening to Zhang Tiezui's storytelling.

"Officials don't need to pay for retouching. This kind of story-telling novels are all produced by small printing workshops. Different versions are even very different. Some are ghostwritten by others. You can see the difference in writing style at a glance.

!”

Liu Qingxin explained with a smile.

"Then what are you doing? You're not reading this kind of pirated novel, are you?"

Ning Fu asked curiously, Liu Qingxin should have read his own copy of Di Gong's case, and should not be interested in such crude and pirated copies.

"We feel that there are too few cases in the storybook written by you, official, so we want to imitate and write a few similar cases to see who has written more exciting stories."

Liu Qingxin replied with some embarrassment.

Ning Fu finally realized that they were colleagues who were writing about Di Gong's case. No wonder Li Qingzhao and Cai Yan were embarrassed.

"Then you have to write well. I plan to sort out the Di Gong case and find a bookseller to print it, so as not to tarnish my reputation with these shoddy works. If your colleagues have finished writing it, you can also add it together.

Get in!"

"real?"

Li Qingzhao's big eyes lit up when he heard this, with an expression of eagerness to try. She has excellent literary talent. Whether she is writing poems or articles, she is very spiritual. Writing novels is certainly not a problem.

"Of course. If you write well, you may be able to compare with my original work, and it will become a good story in the future!"

Ning Fu took the opportunity to draw a big cake for the three of them.

"Okay! It's settled. I'll go back and think about it carefully. I will definitely compare you to Brother Ning!"

Li Qingzhao was very competitive. She lost once in her Shangyuan Festival poems, but this time she had to win back no matter what.

Although Cai Yan next to her didn't speak, her eyes were full of energy, and she seemed to be a competitive woman.

While he was talking, Siqin suddenly ran in in a panic and said, "Uncle, someone is coming outside, saying they are going to read out the imperial edict!"

"This must be a reward from His Majesty. Brother-in-law Ning, go quickly!"

Cai Yan seemed to be more anxious than Liu Qingxin and immediately rushed to speak first.

Ning Fu stepped to the front yard and saw an official holding an imperial edict.

"Ningfu accepts the order!"

When the official saw Ning Fu, he immediately said loudly.

Ning Fu also hurriedly stepped forward to salute and quietly listened to the edict being read out.

"I bear the destiny of Haotian..."

The imperial edict was drafted by Zhongshu Province, and it was very obscure and difficult to understand, but Ning Fu understood the general meaning.

In order to commend Ning Fu for his contribution to vaccination with cowpox, he was given the title Qing Pingbo, a house and a thousand acres of fertile land outside the city.

The above rewards were within Ning Fu's expectations, but the last one was to order him to study at Imperial College.
