Because the second master and the Li family and others were there, Chu Lingxuan probably talked about this, but he didn't dare to talk about it in detail, only said that the third master resigned, and the Marquis of Chu also helped his younger brother to resign, although the emperor did not agree, but it seemed to have loosened. After dinner, Chu Lingxuan went home first, and the Marquis of Chu and the third master were left by the emperor.

He said these things to the old marquis yesterday, and today he focused on telling the third lady. The third lady had a vision and felt that her husband and uncle were doing the right thing. Today's emperor is wise and resolute, and he must remember his own goodness, especially for his uncle, who has deep feelings. But the first emperor was suspicious of his uncle, and he would definitely give an explanation to the present before he died. The emperor is like this, it may be a temptation. When he knew that the Chu family really had no disobedience and let go of all the mustard, the good days of the Chu family came.

I only heard the old marquis smile at the third lady and said, "If the third one resigns, he will be idle at home when he is less than forty years old." ”

The third lady said with a smile, "When my lord was young, he was at the border pass, and the border pass was not peaceful at that time, and the master often led people into battle to kill the enemy. In the past few years after returning to the capital, he was too busy to go home, and then went to the south to quell the rebellion. My heart has been lifted. It is a good thing that he will be able to be idle in the future, and I am glad that he will be able to spare himself. ”

The old marquis pinched his white beard and nodded, this daughter-in-law is really well found, knowledgeable, and atmospheric.

Lee's face was smiling at first, and then it became heavier and heavier. The two heads of the Chu family resigned from the senior officials, and her son would not be supported by few people in the future? Although Chu Lingxuan's official position was not small, it had not yet reached the point of reaching the sky. What's more, he may go to be a general soldier, and then he has to go out of Beijing, and she doesn't want her only son to go to other places.

She knew that the old marquis and the third lady hated her, and she shouldn't have spoken on such an occasion. She gave the second master a look, meaning that he should hurry up and beg the old marquis to find a good future for his son now.

The second master didn't speak, and glared at her a few times, meaning to tell her to be honest and not talk nonsense.

Everyone saw the expressions of the two of them, Shen lowered his head embarrassedly, and the old marquis snorted secretly and ignored them.

Before eating, the Marquis of Chu and the third master finally came back.

Except for the old marquis, everyone got up and saluted them, and the third lady took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears.

The Marquis of Chu sat next to the old Marquis, and the third lord sat at the bottom of the Marquis of Chu and the head of the second master.

The Marquis of Chu also said that the emperor only took back the real shortage of the military department, and still named the third master as the young guard, and he was named the Marquis of the West, and he was hereditary for three generations. He also said that in the future, if the court needs the third master to come out of the mountain again, there must be no mistake.

This shows that the emperor is still willing to use him.

In addition, he will be crowned as the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Although this position is only from the second rank, one level lower than the promised general soldiers, he is a close minister of the emperor, and he is not qualified for the position of a non-emperor's henchman. Moreover, Lord Huang, the orthodox leader, is nearly fifty years old, and at this age, he will usually go to the Governor's Mansion to serve, that is, it will not take a few years for Chu Lingxuan to take over his class.

This is really unexpected good news, which shows that the emperor is different from the previous emperor, he still trusts the Chu family and regards the Chu family as an absolute confidant.

Hearing the last good news, the old marquis's haha hit the boss, and his beard was cocked. said with a smile, "What we did before was to do what the emperor wanted." ”

Marquis Chu nodded, and also laughed, and the smile reached the bottom of his eyes. said, "The emperor has agreed that I will pass on the title to Xuan'er. After that, I will be unofficial and light. Seeing the old marquis's pitying eyes, he smiled again, "The emperor also said that he will always remember what I have done for him." Tomorrow morning, he will give me a 'golden book and iron coupon' in front of hundreds of civil and military officials. ”

After speaking, he arched to the north with both hands in fists, and said, "The emperor's grace is mighty!"

The "Golden Book Iron Coupon" is commonly known as the "Gold Medal for Avoiding Death", and the emperor of the Dashun Dynasty is very precious to such a thing and will not issue it at will. At the time of the founding of the country, only a few pieces were given to heroes with great merit, and this was the first one given by subsequent generations of emperors.

In other words, although the Marquis of Chu did not have any official position, he enjoyed supreme glory.

This good news made everyone in the hall boil, and the old marquis cried. Although the Marquis of Chu is all retired and the third master is semi-retired, it seems that the highest official position of the Chu family is only the second grade of Chu Lingxuan, but the Chu family has undoubtedly become one of the top noble families in the capital.

Chen Afu is also happy that the families and their children and grandchildren who have the "gold medal for avoiding death" can avoid all capital crimes as long as they do not plot rebellion. Also, how does the emperor treat the Chu family with courtesy, Chu Lingxuan holds such an important position, and in the future, the little girl Chu will have the support of her mother's family, and there should be fewer people who fight with the prince's ideas, right?

Chen Afu looked at the three children who were huddled with Chu Lingxuan, they were strong and smart, and they didn't need to worry about themselves. What worries her the most is the gentle and honest Chu Hanyan.

Marquis Chu looked at the second master and the Li family with envious expressions, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, Qi'er and An'er are good children, they work hard, and they will have a future." ”

The second master nodded again and again, and said with a smile, "Glory is all good, Xuan'er is out, and he will naturally bring his two younger brothers with him." ”

Lee's laughter was louder, too. The son happens to be working in the Royal Forest Army, and his future will definitely be good.

In addition, the emperor also gave the three old men ten carts of brocade, jade ornaments, eastern pearls, medicinal materials and other things, as well as 500 taels of gold and 1,000 acres of fertile land. Gave Chu Lingxuan five carts of brocade, ornaments and other things, as well as five hundred taels of silver, five hundred acres of fertile land.

The Chu family had secretly split up a few days ago, so these things belonged to the big house and the third room, and the second master and the Li family couldn't blush.

After finishing the business, Marquis Chu realized that this time was a little different from usual. Usually, the three little grandchildren and granddaughters were crowded together with him, but now they are crowded to his son's side.

He waved at them and smiled, "Come to Grandpa." Seeing that they were still a little reluctant to father, he said, "Your father is busy with official business. In the future, the only person who can take you to take a boat, climb a mountain, and walk a dog is grandpa. ”

He had already made a wish to take them to the countryside to play in the future, so when the children heard this, they all went to their grandfather's place. Xiao Yu'er climbed onto her grandfather's knees, and shouted unruly, "I still want to find grandma, find grandma, grandpa forgot." ”

Grandpa often said to take them on boats, climb mountains, walk dogs, and find grandma, and she remembered it. Now I saw that my grandfather forgot to say that I was looking for grandma, so I made up the words.

Marquis Chu laughed and said, "Yes, I still have to go to grandma, but grandpa forgot." ”

Chu Lingxuan smiled at Chen Afu and said that he had always wanted to establish a business, give his wife and children a good life, and let his mother go home, and this wish was finally realized.
