Due to the complete success of the military parade ceremony, knowing that Qi Shi's promotion was in sight, there are many people who come to visit now. With the achievements of her husband, she is still very proud of being a wife, so Nalan is very patient with the ladies who come to visit. And Qi Shi is a cautious person, and he will never offend anyone lightly, so those lobbyists who visit and woo will always hit soft nails, and it is not easy to lose their temper.

On this day, when Qi Shi returned home, he saw the very idle Nalan clan, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you have any visitors today?"

"Maybe those princes have figured it out and know that you won't take refuge in anyone, so I won't waste your time here. Why, I listened to the old man's tone, as if he was looking forward to someone coming. Nalan replied.

Qi Shi held his head and said, "How come, I just feel a little strange that it's so quiet today, I wish they didn't come?" You think it's easy to deal with them, how many brain cells do I have to spend! If you react slowly with them, you'll be trapped, and I can't offend them yet, or I don't know what will happen? ”

"This is also an exercise for us, people's potential is endless, you see Amma, Eniang, isn't it easier for us to deal with this situation now?" Eruri, who had just entered the house, grinned.

Erluli was talking and laughing, when the chief steward ran in from outside and hurriedly shouted, "Master, my lord has a holy decree, there is a holy decree!"

Qi Shi was a little surprised and said, "What? Divine decree? Is it really a holy decree? "It's no wonder that Qi Shi is not to blame for this, although he is prepared in his heart, he may be rewarded after this military parade, but this is too fast, too sudden.

The steward said with certainty: "Yes, the lord really has a holy decree, and the person who delivered the decree is still outside?"

Eruri saw Ama who was in a daze, and hurriedly said, "Then the chief manager quickly let people set up incense cases, and quickly invite the messenger to come in." Qi Shi reacted at this time, and hurriedly commanded people to get busy.

As soon as Qiē was ready, all the Qi family knelt down to listen to the decree, and the attendant who passed the decree opened the decree and began to read it in a sharp voice, the decree was all in classical Chinese, although Qi Shi had improved a lot in ancient Chinese, but it still sounded a little difficult. And the voice of the inner servant was too harsh, but Qi Shi knew that the most important thing about the holy decree was often in the last few words. After the holy decree was recited, Qi Shi understood that he was rewarded by the emperor as a first-class baron because of the idea of the military parade, and he was rewarded with a bunch of things, and at the same time he was rewarded with a double salary. Then Qi Shi said according to the procedure of receiving the order: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live, long live, long live!" Respectfully accepted the decree before standing up.

The chamberlain said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to Lord Qi Shi, the emperor values Lord Qi Shi so much, and the future of Lord Qi will definitely be limitless in the future."

Qi Shi hurriedly said modestly: "Cheng your auspicious words, Cheng your auspicious words!" Then he handed the silver ticket to the waiter, who smiled and took it and looked at the amount on the silver ticket, and couldn't help but smile even more happily. Qi Shi sent off the chamberlain, came to the room, and saw Eruli holding the holy decree and looking at it carefully, and the chief steward was also full of excitement and said: "The slave congratulates the master!" The slave congratulates the master! The lord is now a baron, what a great grace! ”

Qi Shi pulled up the chief steward and said, "Didn't I tell you, this is in your own home, don't kneel down at every turn." There is a happy event today, you go and inform everyone to give double the salary this month, so that everyone is happy! ”

"The slave thanks the lord for his grace on behalf of everyone!" The steward knew that the master must have something to say at this time, so he went out.

Qi Shi looked at Erluli, who was still studying the holy decree, and said with a smile: "You Ama is good, now you are a baron, I didn't expect the emperor to reward me with a knighthood, it's really unexpected."

Nalan said happily and proudly, "We know that you are very capable, and we are proud of you."

After studying the holy decree, Eruri said happily: "It is really worth glad that Ama only rewarded him with a knighthood and did not promote his official position, so that Ama would not attract too much attention, which is in line with Amma's expectation of not being too high-profile, which is good, really good, after all, there are still many people who are higher than Ama in this title."

Qi Shi pretended to be a little angry and said: "As long as you can hit your Amma, you can watch that your Amma's title will be promoted again." Next time, you will not only be promoted but also promoted, and the person who will not be envied by others is a mediocre. As for the low-key issue, Amma has been paying attention to it, but we can't be too low-key in this situation now. ”

Eruri thought that what he said Ama was also right, it was too low-key and not suitable for the current situation, "Amma, you still want to be promoted?" What else do you have to do? ”

Qi Shi smiled mysteriously and said, "I won't sue you now, and you will know later." But now I want to stabilize first, my current foundation is still shallow after all, and it is not suitable for too much limelight. ”

Eruri knew that what his Ama said was very true, after all, at this time, in addition to the crown prince, there are several princes who are quite ready to move, and if the limelight is too big at this time, it will be a shining target. I have also experienced a period of time in the officialdom, and I have grown a little, and I have slowly understood some of Amma's ideas and style of doing things, and Amma's experience is there, so I am more transparent than myself, and Eruri can now completely learn from myself Amma, and I must slowly fade away from the eager mentality in myself, and I must be more down-to-earth.

The news that Qi Shi was named a baron by the emperor spread in the capital at once, although Qi Shi had already been foreshadowed by the addition of an official to the baron, but no one expected that the emperor would make him a first-class baron? How many levels has this crossed? Fortunately, Qi Shi's official position has not been promoted, otherwise wouldn't it make people even more jealous? However, no matter what these people thought in their hearts, the Qi family was still crowded with people who came to congratulate them. Qi Shi, Nalan Clan, Eruri and Shu Shujue Luo Clan were busy due to the large number of people in Hexi, and the subordinates in the family were even more tired, but although the subordinates felt tired, everyone was very happy, after all, their own masters could not get their benefits if they got the power? Therefore, none of these subordinates had any complaints, but they did their best to do the things that the masters explained. However, as Kangxi rewarded more and more meritorious personnel for the military parade ceremony, Qi Shi was no longer so dazzling, and the number of people who came to Qi Shi's family gradually decreased, and most of them were good friends made by Qi Shi in ancient times. It was only at this time that the Qi family settled down and began to slowly enjoy the joy of being knighted.
