When everyone was curious and wanted to peek out, Mr. Hou closed the box and glanced at Brother Li and Brother Cat at the end of the kang.
The old lady understood and immediately said: "Brother Li, Brother Cat, it's time to go to bed. Why don't you see your fourth and fifth brothers? Help grandma look for them."
Brother Li and Brother Cat didn't know what was going on, so they Without any doubts, I got off the ground and went out.
Ye Shan bolted the door quickly, and then the Marquis opened the box, revealing the golden imperial edict inside.
The Li family members covered their mouths in shock and almost screamed.
The Marquis quickly opened it, glanced at it and laughed, "Aunt, it's a good thing to hold Fu Niu to receive the order."
The old lady took a deep breath, stood up, hugged her granddaughter, and knelt down with her sons.
Even Ye Shan was kneeling aside.
The Marquis quickly read the imperial edict. Except for Li Zhensheng, everyone in the room didn't quite understand the gorgeous words in front of it, but the key points in the last few sentences were still clear.
The adopted daughter of Marquis Xinting was granted the title of Princess Kangle, with a fiefdom of twenty miles around Broken Gold Beach.
There are twenty miles around Suijintan, that is to say, Suijintan, Dahuaishu Village, Dawang Village and Xiaowang Village are all Fu Niu's fiefdom.
From now on, every year's taxes will be paid to Fu Niu, and Fu Niu can even adjust the tax rate and collect corvee.
This reward is simply too rich and amazing.
You must know that even military princes like Marquis, the only cousin of the emperor's mother's family, do not have fiefdoms.
Good News A two-year-old girl is already a small landowner? !
Although this fiefdom cannot be smaller, it is definitely unique and special.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Long live Your Majesty!" Seeing that the Li family had been frightened, Ye Shan quickly led them to kowtow to express gratitude.
Mrs. Li was helped up and sat on the edge of the kang again, still dazed.
Jiayin hugged the golden imperial edict and laughed so hard that her mouth watered.
Seeing that her granddaughter's saliva was about to drip onto the imperial edict, Mrs. Li shivered in fright and hugged her granddaughter directly, and the imperial edict was also placed in the arms of the Marquis.
"Master Hou, what should we do about this matter? Fu Niu'er is still so young. Our Li family cannot afford such a reward."
Even Li Zhensheng and the other brothers also frowned, obviously more surprised than happy.
The Li family was naturally grateful for the emperor's kindness, but the Li family was just a small farmer, and Jiayin was only a two-year-old child.
If outsiders knew about it, both the Li family and Jiayin would be at the forefront, and they might cause trouble again.
For the Li family, living a stable life and quietly getting rich is the best choice at the moment. They really don't want to be in the limelight and become a target.
Not only was the Marquis not angry, he was actually very happy.
If this matter were brought to other people's homes, they would immediately beat gongs and drums to announce it to the world, but the Li family did not let it go to their heads. The first thing they considered was the stability of their family.
It's really rare to be so awake.
The Marquis carefully collected the imperial edict, then handed the box to Jiayin, and then explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, since the Emperor did not send anyone to deliver the edict at the banquet, he instead chose to deliver it secretly at night, so that it can be delivered to our family. You decide when to announce this matter.
"You and Sui Jintan have been exempted from taxes for three years. Now is the first year. It won't be too late to wait until two years for this imperial edict to be released. By then, Fu Niu will be almost five years old, and the family will have established a foothold here, and they are no longer afraid even if someone covets her.
Mrs. Li, her mother and her son all breathed a long sigh of relief, with gratitude on their faces, "The emperor's kindness is so great. Thank you so much for your consideration of our family despite your busy schedule. "
The Marquis nodded and said, "The taxes from several nearby villages will be handed over soon. Do you want me to send someone to collect them? Does Fu Niu keep them? " "
"No, no!" Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "If the family wants to hide the imperial edict for two years, then we should hide it till the end. We still have to pay the taxes of those villages. It happens that the emperor Xin Ding is here and needs money and food. "
The emperor made Fu Niu'er the princess. Our family is already very grateful. How can we covet this little money again?" Besides, the current income at home is enough for spending. Li
Laoer also agreed with my mother's idea and echoed: "Yes, the jade melons and golden fruits sold this year are thanks to the blessing of the emperor's name." Seeing this, the Marquis no longer tried to persuade him, "
Then it's settled, put the imperial edict first. If the family encounters difficulties someday, or I have trouble outside, taking out the imperial edict at that time can also protect the family." a bit.
"Bah! " Mrs. Li quickly spat on the ground, glared at Mr. Hou and said angrily, "Children's words are unbridled, and the strong wind will blow them away!" What nonsense are you talking about? You have no control over what you say! "
The Marquis laughed after being scolded.
After chatting for a few more words, he slowly walked back with Ye Shan, leaving the Li family to disperse and rest.
Mrs. Li helped her eldest son back to the West Room to rest. After hesitating for a while, she briefly said a few words about the differences between her little granddaughter.
The purpose was to let her eldest son know that there was a reason why Mr. Hou treated her family so kindly, and that he could trust Mr. Hou in future actions.
Li Zhensheng has always felt that his little niece is too smart. Now he heard my mother's vague words, but didn't ask any more questions.
He has already gone home. As the eldest son of Li, he should be responsible for the safety of the family's young and old. Responsibility.
Not to mention that the little niece is just smarter and has more magical abilities.
Even if the little niece is really a mountain spirit and monster, no one can bully her when she was born in the Li family!
When Mrs. Li saw her son say this, she felt relieved. She went out to prepare decoction and medicine for her son.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, the sisters-in-law, were chatting and watching the medicine boiling.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter-in-law after a busy day, so she sent them to bed. She looked at the medicine jar herself, fanned the wind and added Chai.
Brother Li and Brother Mao came back from outside. Seeing this, they ran over and hugged grandma's arm to talk. They were very close.
The two brothers watched their father drink the medicine before following grandma back to the house to sleep.
Mr. Li Sanhan smiled and hugged the quilt, squeezed into the west room,
and slept next to his eldest brother. He thought about taking care of his eldest brother at night, chatting with him about his inner feelings, and rekindling the brotherhood that had been separated for more than ten years...
The time of reunion was always well spent. Quickly, Jiaren only took two days off, so as not to delay the college classes, he would go back to Luo'an in the afternoon.
Li Laosan and his family of three naturally had to go back too.
Mrs. Li thought of Brother Li, so she took advantage of the opportunity Everyone was sitting under the eaves and chatting. They called their grandson to them and asked, "Brother Li, you were studying in Luo'an before. Did you like the teachers and classmates there? Do you want to go back with your elder brother and continue studying in the academy? "
Brother Li subconsciously looked at his father.
After only a few days after returning, his father's complexion improved a lot, and it was obvious that his condition would no longer be serious.
But he was still a little worried about leaving home and going back to Luo'an to study.
Li Zhensheng could see that The son's little thought was: "Don't worry, you can go study if you like. Dad is with grandma and he will definitely get better soon. Then he will take his brother to the academy to see you."
Brother Li nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, I like studying in Luo'an. My husband is very funny and will often praise me. " "
Everyone laughed. After all, they are children and like to hear compliments.
