As soon as Xiao Yucheng returned home, before he had time to talk to Xiao Pei and the others about Qin Guangyu, someone from the General's Mansion came to report that Emperor Qi had rewarded him again.

When the sisters and brothers got the news, they immediately prepared, set up an incense case in the main hall, and waited for more than an hour before they saw Ling Yi and Shen Taishou come together in a carriage.

Both wore official uniforms.

When the three sisters and brothers heard the will, they all knelt down in front of the incense table.

Shen Taishou took out the holy decree embroidered with gold in the Ming Dynasty and read it aloud, which was nothing more than praising the Xiao family's meritorious work in planting corn and rewarding it.

Because Xiao Yu had already been praised when he was in Changzhou, it was a little strange, and after listening to it, he realized that this will was different from before, and it was specifically to praise the two sisters and brothers of the Xiao family.

Although he didn't know what Emperor Qi meant, Xiao Yu was also extremely happy.

In the will, it has been said that the Xiao family is a cultivator and heirloom, and the world is virtuous, so the status of the Xiao family has been greatly improved, not to mention that it has been rewarded by the saints.

At the same time, the eyes of the little officials who were watching Xiao Yucheng became hot.

Even when they heard that Xiao Yu was the daughter of the Xiao family in Lanling, these people didn't care about the Xiao family's siblings.

The peasant sisters and brothers who must be recognized by the noble daughters of the famous family when they are down, and the young men of the farming and reading families who have been praised by the holy decree, their identities are not the same at all.

Making friends with a young man who has the blue eyes of the Son of Heaven is more promising than winning over those lowly petty officials.

After everyone dispersed, Xiao Yucheng had just received the holy decree from his ancestors, and people began to come to the door one after another to congratulate him, except for the county officials and Li Zheng and others, many of them were colleagues in Xiao Yucheng's army.

It was rare for these people to come here, and Xiao Pei hurriedly ordered the good students to entertain them.

The Xiao family was full of joy, but Qin Guangyu and Zhao Jing were so angry that their faces turned blue, both angry and resentful.

Especially Qin Guangyu.

Although Zhao Jing is the daughter of the county order, she is far from being comparable to a peasant girl, if he has not passed the examination before Xie Yuan, there is no hope of marrying her as his wife.

But now the Xiao family not only lives in Xiao Yu, a famous lady's righteous relative, but also has been rewarded by the saint today, and it seems that it has a momentum of soaring.

Qin Guangyu suddenly felt that it was difficult to choose.

Zhao Jing said angrily: "Brother Qin, didn't you say that you asked people to find the corn?" Why did the saint only reward the Xiao family now? When General Ling reported to the imperial court this time, he gave all the credit to the Xiao family sisters and brothers, and didn't mention you again? ”

Emperor Qi will once again issue an order to reward the Maritime Affairs Department, the General's Mansion, the Taishou Mansion and the Xiao family, indeed because Ling Yi and Wang Lei reported the corn tasting again. Hearing that this corn confirmed that it could be used as food, Emperor Qi was overjoyed, and then awarded another reward.

And Ling Yi and Wang Lei's performance this time did not mention Qin Guangyu again.

Because in Ling Yi's opinion, Qin Guangyu just mentioned that the atlases of these things were all painted by Xiao Yu, and going to sea to find them was attributed to Hua Xuan, as for planting Qin Guangyu, it was even more untouchable, and his little credit, the name could appear in the first report for the sake of a few people for the sake of his acquaintance with the Xiao family.

Now that Qin Guangyu has relied on this merit, he has been named the leader in the examination, and he will be able to wait for him from now on, is he still not satisfied?

Of course, Qin Guangyu was not satisfied.

Hearing Zhao Jing say this, Qin Guangyu was suddenly unwilling. Since he proposed to find these ancient artifacts, then he should be the first to take the credit, why is he robbed of the credit now?

Although he was not angry in his heart, Qin Guangyu knew that it was impossible for him to go directly to Ling Yi's theory.

If before, he could still find the Xiao family sisters and brothers to say in front of Ling Yi, maybe he would be able to see his name again like last time.

But now that the incident by the Quxi River has happened, the Xiao family sisters and brothers must be angry, and they don't think they will speak for him.

Qin Guangyu suddenly regretted it.

Although Xiao Pei is a peasant girl, the Xiao family not only has a good relationship with the General's Mansion, but now there is also a concubine of the Lanling Xiao family, although she is only a recognized sister, but with Xiao Yu's affection for the Xiao family's sisters and brothers, the Xiao family will only get better and better.

This can be seen from the reward of the Son of Heaven today.

What's more, the Xiao family and the General's Mansion are still cousins, Xiao Pei is better than Zhao Jing in terms of appearance and temperament, and Zhao Jing is just the daughter of a county order.

Of course, Zhao Jing's family background is still far from being comparable to a farming and reading heirloom.

If only there was a way to get the best of both worlds.

Zhao Jing next to her saw Qin Guangyu's uncertain face, never unwilling to pity, and guessed a little bit of his thoughts, and immediately felt a little unhappy in his heart, but his face did not show up.

Qin Guangyu was still hesitating, and couldn't help but sigh: "If only a few people hadn't bumped into each other today." ”

Then he can also use the Xiao family to maintain the relationship with the General's Mansion, and at this moment, thinking of Xiao Pei's shy and disgusted appearance in the past, Qin Guangyu's heart warmed up again.

Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "Brother Qin is reluctant to let the girl of the Xiao family be?" ”

Qin Guangyu immediately came back to his senses, and said softly and sweetly: "Jing'er, you know that I am the only one in my heart now. It's just a pity that I can't use the Xiao family brothers and sisters to continue to say good things for me in front of General Ling, and maybe they will slander me because of this. ”

Zhao Jing immediately burst into tears: "In the end, I dragged you down." ”

Qin Guangyu hurriedly said: "Good Jing'er, you know that I don't mean this, it's all because of the narrow-mindedness of the Xiao family's sisters and brothers, which makes me disliked by General Ling, how can I blame you." ”

Zhao Jing wiped away her tears and said, "Actually, if Brother Qin really can't let go of Miss Xiao, he can accept her as a concubine." ”

Nashope as a concubine? How did he not expect that!

Qin Guangyu suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and then thought of something, and said, "Most of the Xiao family will not agree." ”

Zhao Jing disagreed: "Xiao Pei was just a servant girl of a merchant family at the beginning, although she is now free of slavery, but in the end, she used to be a subordinate, and now she is only a peasant girl, do you really think that with the gift of the saint, she will really fly on the branch and become a phoenix?" ”

After a pause, Zhao Jing continued: "Brother Qin is outstandingly talented, he passed the first exam in the first exam, and even Gu Shanchang said that you have the best talent, and although Your Majesty did not reward you this time, didn't you get Your Majesty's praise for playing the first time?" Your Majesty will definitely be impressed. ”

Zhao Jingying said with a smile: "Both true talent and real learning, and already in the emperor's heart, Qin Lang is destined to be the champion, once a peasant girl who has been a maidservant has a husband like this, it is a concubine, how can it be unreasonable?" ”

"What's more, Miss Xiao has a deep affection for you."

When Qin Guangyu heard this, he felt very reasonable, and while he made up his mind to pay attention, he immediately worried: "It's just that if this is the case, wouldn't it be wronged Jing'er?" ”

After speaking, he shook Zhao Jing's hand.

Zhao Jing said faintly: "As long as Brother Qin is good, I have nothing to be wronged." ”

Qin Guangyu had never felt that Zhao Jing was so gentle and considerate, sensible and polite, and with a light touch of his hand, he took her in his arms and swore solemnly: "I will not lose you, Jing'er." ”

Zhao Jing struggled slightly in embarrassment, and her eyes were full of coldness. It's just a concubine's room, some ways are not to get close to Qin Guangyu's body, only when he gets around, can he slowly adjust, with such a sister who is a concubine, what will happen to Xiao Yu?

Qin Guangyu hugged the beautiful woman in his arms, and felt that with Xiao Pei's temperament and deep affection for him, he would inevitably agree, and he suddenly fluttered. (To be continued.) )
