186 Greed
The eunuch who passed the decree was in a good mood today, and when he went to the various mansions to deliver the decree, he was rewarded heavily. Although he didn't open the purse of the Jiang Mansion, he could almost smell it with his nose and smell that it should be gold, not silver. ”
Sending off the eunuch, Jiang Shuncheng looked at the plaque on the reception hall, with iron pens and silver hooks, shining gold, and an indescribable dazzling eye. After decades of hard work, he just wants to earn a reward for his descendants.
The happiest thing is Jiang Shuhong's room, as soon as he returned to the house, he got the letter, and the people in the house were afraid that he would not know, so he was happy again and again, asked the reason, and rewarded the people of Daoxi with two taels of silver.
folded into the living room, but saw Jiang Shuncheng twisting his beard, looking at the large plaque written by the emperor himself and falling into thought.
"Dad, did the emperor really give you a knight?"
I can't believe that the Jiang family is not a royal relative, and it has nothing to do with the royal family, but it can rely on the military exploits of his younger brothers and sisters in the northwest, and his father's loyalty in the court can be sealed, which in itself is a recognition of Jiang Shuncheng.
Jiang Shuncheng said: "Wen Zhonghou, Hong'er, you said that the emperor gave our family a Wen Zhonghou, what does this mean?" ”
Jiang Shuhong looked at the words on the plaque, stretched out his hand, and stroked it gently, he is the eldest son, after Jiang Shuncheng is a hundred years old, he will inherit the title of "Wen Zhonghou", he is naturally happy, this is not only the glory of the entire Jiang family, but also belongs to their father and son.
"My father is loyal to the emperor and wholeheartedly runs errands for the court, in the eyes of the emperor and the people, he is a real loyal minister and a good minister."
Jiang Shuncheng leaned over and looked at the words on the plaque, since he changed from a traitor to a good minister, Jiang Shuncheng is no longer a big sycophant, and he will recite all the words that can be used. Not to cope. It's a genuine compliment. "The emperor writes well, is strong and powerful, and pulls mountains and rivers ......" Jiang Shuhong heard it in a fog, and his heart was happy, echoing Jiang Shuncheng praised the emperor a few words, and sang a praise song, Jiang Shuncheng came back to his senses, "Hong'er, you and the big housekeeper personally hang this plaque on the gate, remember to set off firecrackers." It's lively! ”
Jiang Shuhong responded, and brought his subordinates and the chief housekeeper to buy good firecrackers, which crackled and set off for most of the hour. attracted the neighbors to come out to see the excitement, and when they saw the plaque of "Wenzhong Waiting Mansion", everyone was surprised: Jiang Shuncheng was knighted.
It can be said that it is rare to have a title in Wenchen, and if he is named a marquis like this, he can still be hereditary for three generations. There are only a handful of truths. Most of the civil servants who were entitled, either because their daughters and sisters-in-law married the emperor as concubines, or because they married into the favored princesses, the emperor was happy for a while and gave them the title of duke, like Jiang Shuncheng. It's not really rare for the emperor's relatives to be knighted.
At night, the entire Right Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit, and Jiang Shuncheng deliberately gathered his son, daughter-in-law and grandson together. Sitting in the flower hall of Ruyi Hall, there are also two full tables.
The eldest grandmother Shen was so happy that she specially called her nephew into the house for a banquet, and Shen Shining sat on one side, thinking that the Jiang family had become more and more prosperous in recent years. But she hadn't seen her father in years.
"Shuhong, Shupeng, now our family has the emperor's grace. After sealing Wen Zhonghou, he will be more humble and polite in the future, and he must not be arrogant, especially Shuhong, you have to restrain your three sons, study diligently, and be honest. ”
Jiang Shuhong agreed one by one, and in front of everyone, instructed his three sons: "The heir has already made a name for himself, and the two of you have to work harder to pass on the industry and pass on the goodness, especially if the inheritance is now a betrothed person, the Cao Mansion is waiting for you to get the fame and let you get Miss Cao to get married......"
Chuanye was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and said with a red face: "Father rest assured, my son will be attentive." ”
"And Chuanliang, you have to work harder."
Chuanliang got up, responded seriously, and sat down in his position in a proper manner. When he was a child, he was not liked in the school, but in the past few years, it has been a little different, because of Jiang Shuncheng's good reputation among the people and the court, he was also looked down upon by Mr. in the academy, and sometimes he didn't understand something, Mr. would also teach him with his heart.
Jiang Shuncheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu looked at a room of daughters-in-law, children and grandchildren happily, and suddenly thought of Su Yan, that was her youngest child, and a daughter, the northwest wind and sand were big, and I don't know why, it only took seven days from the imperial city to the border pass, I heard that it was sleepless, and my heart ached.
"You're happy, my Yan'er doesn't know if you've eaten this time? Is it the same as us, there are big fish and big meat, at the Yang family's family banquet that day, I heard people say that the border city is extremely bitter, and many men can't bear it......" As soon as he said this, the tears fell down in a torrent.
Jiang Shuhong glanced at the eldest grandmother Shen, she immediately got up, walked to Yu's side, and comforted: "There are second and sixth brothers in the border city to take care of it, and my sister-in-law also brought a girl, so I guess I won't suffer hardship." Before leaving, the eldest and third masters took silver for the sister-in-law, but the girls were all left there, and told them to serve carefully......"
When Yu Shi heard this, he didn't cry anymore, but complained about himself: "You all know that Lu Dao took some silver and prepared it, but I forgot about it." ”
The third grandmother, He, is now the third grandmother in Jiangfu, Meng went to the nunnery to retreat, look at this, she will never come back, she smiled sweetly, and said: "Mother-in-law, today is a big day, you can't cry." The sister-in-law will definitely be safe, isn't she a disciple of a master outside the world, or the gods outside the world also have a relationship with her, and these immortals will also protect the sister-in-law. ”
The Yu family was originally a little uncomfortable, but this time it was all gone, and said with a smile: "You are all very filial, go back and sit and eat." Eldest daughter-in-law, please pick an auspicious day tomorrow morning, our house is also lively, and another banquet will be held. The third daughter-in-law, you have a clever mouth, pay more attention when the time comes, see which family has a son who has not been married, and show Yan'er some ......"
When the eldest and youngest grandmother Zhang Shuangshuang heard this, she grinned and said: "Grandmother, who doesn't know that the county lord of Anxi of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion is a fairy-like figure, and he is one of the best in this imperial city, you are too worried." ”
Before the sound fell, the Shen family and Jiang Chuanji made a strong look at Zhang Shuang, for fear that she would accidentally touch the Yu family's reverse scales, this is the ancestor of the family, and Jiang Shuncheng is also a person who can make seven points, and only Jiang Suyan can deal with it.
However, it was already too late. Yu Shi was in a good mood, but he was unhappy at the moment, and pointed to the pairs of people in the room with a straight face: "They are all conscienceless, Yan'er is working hard for you in the northwest, and they only care about themselves, their wives and children are hot on the kang, and they don't remember Yan'er's ......."
The Shen family couldn't wait to eat Zhang Shuangshuang, and what the Yu family was most afraid of was that someone said that her daughter was too good, and she had been rejected by the sons of the two great families in the imperial city. The reason is that they don't dare to climb high, and when they think of this, the Yu family gets angry. Now it's all right. The Jiang family has a title, isn't it really a noble family, waiting for the family.
Shen immediately said: "Mother rest assured, when the time comes, the daughter-in-law will pay special attention." These days. I also asked my sisters who were good friends with me to help me find a candidate, and when the time came, I would give it to my mother one by one, and let my mother order it. ”
Yu Shi said again: "It's a shame that you have a heart." Yan'er's marriage is now the top priority of the Jiang family, don't forget that you have a sister-in-law. ”
Jiang Shuhong and Jiang Shupeng responded again and again, saying that they would definitely remember this matter.
Yu Shi saw that they seemed to be really interested. Then he said, "Let's eat!" ”
The family had a sumptuous meal, and then they dispersed, and now there is a happy event at home. Chuanye and Chuanliang rushed back from the Imperial City Academy, and they will go back to the academy early in the morning.
The children in the third room are small, and the two children are noisy and sleepy after eating a few bites, especially the second lady Mei'er has fallen asleep in the nurse's arms.
The third grandmother walked side by side with Jiang Shupeng and asked, "This title of Wen Zhonghou." Will Daddy Weng give it to us? ”
Jiang Shupeng was stunned for a moment, and looked at the third grandmother in the night: "What are you thinking?" On top of me. And what about the eldest brother and second brother? ”
"The second brother has been in the border city for 20 years, and he has made military achievements, and it is only a matter of time before he is knighted. Eldest brother...... The eldest brother is now a left waiter, and the sister-in-law can be regarded as having a fate, so she ...... Our family ......"
Jiang Shupeng understood this time, the He family, who used to be docile and lovely, now looked at the title of Wen Zhonghou, and said: "That title belongs to the eldest brother, don't think about it." ”
"For what? Over the years, have Weng's father and mother-in-law helped them less? We can't think about anything. ”
"I can tell you, according to the rules of the courts, the hereditary title is always the eldest son. I have a lot of money, I have never handed it over to the public, it is all for you to keep and spend, and every month the public will give you a monthly amount of silver, and your dowry is also kept by you, but you are not allowed to play the idea of the side. At the end, he added, "My parents are alive, and everything is prosperous." ”
There are two brothers, even if they want to attack the knight, it will not be his turn.
He didn't want any of this, but he wanted peace and happiness in his family.
He is a little dissatisfied, I don't know which family set the rules of Lu Dao, for what is the eldest son of the lord, and he is not convinced, but he is unwilling, the three sons of the big house, the eldest grandmother is already a decree, and preside over the prime minister's house, the life is prosperous, and now Weng Dad has the title, and it will be passed on to the big house in the future.
Jiang Shupeng seemed to be displeased when he saw her, and said: "I still remember that before you married me, your greatest wish was to find a husband who treated you wholeheartedly, what is the matter now, and you still want to do so much." Let's raise the child with peace of mind, even if there is no title of my father, there is no side, you take care of the dowry, I will take back the money, and it will be enough for your mother and son to eat and dress warmly......"
He couldn't listen to half a sentence, and the title that fell from the sky was as tempting as the fattest meat. She thought stupidly, they are all sisters-in-law, they are all children of their parents, and they have to give the big house if they get any benefits. She was very unwilling, but she couldn't continue to make trouble.
"Do you still remember the incident of the fifth room, the fifth brother gave birth to two hearts, and was sent to Yangzhou by his father to hone his training. At home, the most intolerable thing for the father and eldest brother is to give birth to a person with two hearts. You can't say that again......"
He pouted and said, "My sister-in-law has always been the best for our three rooms, and this title is my sister-in-law's hard work, and when the time comes, my sister-in-law will give it to whom." ”
