Chapter 34: Heavy Reward

Speechless sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face remained the same.

The chief manager was speechless and looked down on the Lou family, the eldest man, from his heart, and on weekdays, he was a five-grade person

The vacant position is not even worthy of lifting shoes for him, if it weren't for the face of General Zhenbei, he would still be used

Announcing the decree in person?

Seeing the change in Lou Xinzhi's face, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time faintly looked forward to it, not knowing what the holy decree of the chief steward from the palace said.

But what great reward did it bring?

Lou Xue, the third lady from Lou's family, felt an irrepressible excitement in her heart. A few **** days ago, I went to the house of the waiter of the Ministry of War as a guest, and was ridiculed by the lady of the waiter's family of the Ministry of War for her father's low official position, and she was not worthy of the banquet at their house at all.

Now that the second uncle has made a contribution to Biansai, the family will definitely hold a banquet to see how she will slap the face of the young lady of the military department when the time comes!

There was a smug look on Lou Xue's face.

The old lady frowned, and knelt down first, followed by a group of juniors hulala.

Wordlessly, he glanced at the people of the Lou family kneeling in front of him, slowly unfolded the holy decree, and began to read it out in a sharp voice.

"The Liangzhou border army won a great victory, and the general of Zhenbei, Lou Xinhou, made great contributions, and I was very relieved, and I hereby commend ......"

waited until the speechless recitation, and everyone in the Lou family's main house couldn't believe that General Lou had won such a battle in Liangzhou!

Oh, my God!

With only 30,000 border troops, he defeated 50,000 strong Tuhun cavalry! The enemy's soldiers and horses are almost twice as large as General Lou!

Hearing this great achievement, even the eldest old man Lou Xinzhi and the old lady were excited.

Such a big credit. No wonder the emperor will reward the Lou family, but unfortunately although he rewarded him, he did not give a knighthood.

The main mansion of the Lou family has received a large number of royal gifts from the palace, even the young master and young lady who are out of the palace. Among the female dependents, in addition to the old lady, Lou Zheng, the general's concubine, received the most rewards.

And the old lady was promoted from the fourth-grade county lady to the third-grade county lady, and she brought all the court clothes of the foreign wife without a word.

After the eldest lord Lou Xinzhi sent the speechless and others away, the entire Lou family fell into a joy.

The old lady was supported by an old lady, and she told the maids to wait for her to change into the court clothes of the county lady, saying that it was to try to see if it was suitable, so as to save the inappropriate fit when she entered the palace in a few days. Let the queen mother see the joke.

Although the third-grade and fourth-grade foreign women are only one level behind. But there is a huge gap, General Lou's official position is the third grade, but the grade of the foreign woman who was given to the old lady at that time is the fourth grade, and the reason why it does not correspond to the grade of General Lou. It was because of the foreign wife grade of Sanpin that General Lou died early.

That's exactly what happened. The old lady had a pimple in her heart.

This time, General Lou made meritorious contributions. The emperor personally sealed her, can she not feel proud? has been pressed by a dead man for so many years, and the old lady has long been aggrieved in her heart. It's just that General Lou and Lou Zheng are not in Shengjing. He couldn't even find anyone who was angry.

The four-rank foreign women of the Dawu Dynasty do not have the right to hand over the brand to the palace, and can only wait for the queen mother to summon them, but the three-rank foreign women are different, not only can they participate in the palace banquet, but the royal family also has special rewards during the New Year's holidays, which is a matter of light on the face in the circle of honors and nobles in Beijing.

The eldest lady Zou is complaining with the third lady Wu.

"Brother and sister, you said that these two brothers have made such a great contribution, why didn't the emperor give him a knighthood and reward these gold, silver and jewelry."

Although he said so, his hand was reluctant to let go of the hairpin ring jewelry, and he chose the last one to draw on his head from time to time.

The movements of the third lady Wu are not inferior to the eldest lady, but she is rolling her eyes in her heart.

Hum! Knighthood? Her sister-in-law thinks that it is really beautiful, the titles of the Dawu Dynasty are hereditary, and the second uncle has no male heirs, so it is easy to pass on the title to your children in the future?

Although he thought so in his heart, Wu's mouth was angry with the eldest lady, "That's it, sister-in-law, our family has lost a lot this time!" ”

Lou Xiang, the daughter of the long house, has been married, and now there is only the third lady Lou Xue in the Lou family, and the remaining second and fifth ladies are all concubines.

Lou Xue finished her part first, and moved the big girl who felt that she was happy to her in her embroidery building. After all, it's just a young lady in the house, and it's a long house, and there aren't many things to reward, so Lou Xue quickly finished reading it.

Immediately, her eyes fell on the huge box next to her.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and with jealousy in his eyes, he walked to the side of the box and wanted to open it.

Guarding next to the box was an old lady of the Lou family, who had worked as an errand in Lou Zheng's yard before, and the old lady opened her mouth and was just about to speak, but was glared back by Lou Xue's fierce eyes.

The old lady took a step back and bowed her head humbly.

Lou Xue opened the largest box, and suddenly a treasure flashed.

All kinds of the most popular jewelry heads, precious fabrics, and interesting furnishings in the boudoir......

Lou Xue's eyes were red with jealousy, and she took a lot of what she liked from the box.

The eldest lady over there saw her movements and scolded, "Ah Xue, you are more restrained!" And your eldest sister's sake! ”

"Got it, got it, I'll keep it for her." Lou Xue said as she continued to stuff things into her maid's arms.

The entire Lou family's main house was filled with joy, and the eldest lord Lou Xinzhi went back to the study to write a banquet invitation.

But no one asked or thought about how General Lou relied on the tired army of 30,000 people who were short of food and grass to defeat Tuhun's 50,000 strong soldiers, whether General Lou was injured in the battle, whether he endured hardships, whether his life was good, and he didn't even have the simplest greeting, but he enjoyed everything that General Lou brought to them.

Even snatching what should have belonged to Lou Zheng.

Liangzhou, which is about to enter June, is not as hot as Shengjing, and it is rarely cool. In the north, this is probably the most comfortable time.

It has been almost half a month since the end of the war with the Tuhun people, and General Lou's border army has become stronger and stronger, especially after the baptism of the Tuhun war, it has more of the taste of iron-blooded soldiers. Anyone who sees such an army must praise loudly a good word.

In addition, General Lou's 300 personal guards used some of the training methods of modern special forces provided by Lou Zheng, and these elite personal guards were able to defeat ten with one.

The effectiveness of this training method surprised General Lou.

However, because it was a test, these were secretly carried out by General Lou in another camp.

Although the training went quite smoothly, there was another thing that made General Lou very troubled.

In the evening, General Lou sighed as soon as he returned from the border barracks.

Lou Zheng asked the medicine slave to bring the food and put it on the table in the flower hall, and asked his father strangely: "Daddy, what's wrong with you?" What's bothering? ”

(To be continued.) )
