The old man and mother-in-law came to the door together, and Chen Xu naturally still had to entertain him, so he hurriedly asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch, and at the same time asked people to take out the tea that had just been sent and brew a pot again, and chatted with Meng Yi, who was reluctant to let go of his granddaughter.

"Did the virtuous son-in-law name his granddaughter?" Meng Yi didn't leave his granddaughter for three sentences, and suddenly asked after chatting for less than half a cup of tea.

"Not yet, according to common sense, the young name is usually chosen after the 100-day wedding banquet, and the fourth mother was born only three days ago, so the son-in-law hasn't thought about it yet!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"The name of the hundred days, that is the ordinary man, the granddaughter of the old man is a fairy descending to earth, how can it be according to the law of common etiquette, the sooner the name is taken, the better, so that it is auspicious!" Meng Yi stared at a pair of bull's-eyed eyes and finished speaking, and then changed his head, "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man has thought of a name for his granddaughter......"

"Daddy!" Meng Wan, who was sitting next to her and talking to her mother, interrupted Meng Yi's words very dissatisfied.

As the daughter of the Chen family, naturally this name should be chosen by Chen Xu himself, although there is no provision that his grandfather is not allowed to name his grandson, but what if it is not good? Even if the husband doesn't like to snub his daughter in the future, what should I do? Meng Wan was very worried that her father's indiscriminate interference would reduce her status in the Chen family, and it was already bad enough to give birth to a daughter.

"Husband, let the virtuous son-in-law choose the name himself, you don't want to be too troublesome!" Meng Yi's more and more excessive practices made his wife unbearable.

"In the woman's opinion, how can this be called troublesome? How bad is it for the old man to name his granddaughter......" Although Meng Yi said it hard, but looking at the faces of his daughter and wife who shared the same hatred, his voice finally softened, "Okay, the name of the virtuous son-in-law is taken by himself, but the sooner the better, this matter cannot be delayed, the famous lord is blessed, and only when there is a name can he have a foundation, and only then can he be honored, not the lowly people of the mountains and wilderness......"

Seeing that the old man had raised the importance of choosing a name to such an important level, Chen Xu could only nod quickly: "Don't worry, Uncle Yue, I will think about it in the past two days and choose a good name for Siniang!" ”

"How many days will pass, you have to think about it today, otherwise the old man still doesn't know his granddaughter's name, wouldn't it be a joke to spread it!" Meng Yi's eyes widened, and he went crazy again.

"Husband, what Doctor Meng said is right, the names of Sanniang and Siniang can be taken earlier, don't take into account the mundane etiquette!" Shui Gentle also whispered beside her.

Meng Wan and Ying Shiyan also looked at Chen Xu with anticipation on their faces at the same time.

Well, Chen Xu also felt that his daughter was indeed different from ordinary mountain village nofus, and it was also very necessary to choose a name in advance to suppress the luck of his life, so he put down the teacup and pulled a few thin beards on his chin and began to ponder.

The first daughter was born, and the name made Chen Xu very excited and very troubled, and the brain cells died hundreds of thousands before he thought of a tide word, but when he reached the second daughter, he found that he had some experience in choosing a name, although the word Qiuyue was very ordinary, but it was still very appropriate and meaningful, and it was also recognized by many people.

Ying Shiyan's second daughter is not yet full moon, and the name has not been chosen, so Shui Qingrou reminded us to choose a name together, and we can't favor one over the other.

"Sanniang was born at the end of January, and gently calculated that the five elements lacked wood in the past hour, and it happened to be the time when the earth was in spring when the grass and trees were fragrant, so the word Fangfei was taken!" Chen Xu pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Fang Fei, the name Sanniang is good!" Shui smiled softly and spoke.

"Thank you, husband, for giving Sanniang a name!" Ying Shiyan's nervous face softened instantly, and she happily hugged her daughter to salute Chen Xu.

"Congratulations Madam, Sanniang will have a name in the future!" A group of maids all smiled and congratulated Ying Shiyan.

"Chen Fangfei, this name is really good, not only should the time be appropriate, but also the grass and trees in the same spring can be regarded as completing the five elements!" Meng Yi twisted his beard and nodded again and again, and after glancing at the granddaughter in his arms, his face changed, "How did you get the name of the old man's granddaughter?" ”

"Siniang was born in Zhongchun, it is estimated that the five elements lack fire, and Siniang was born in the early morning, when the sky was just bright, and if there is a fairy light on the top of Taiyi Mountain, it is a rare scenery, so it is named Yanxia, I don't know what Wan'er and Yuezhang think?"

"Smoke and haze...... If there is a fairy light coming with smoke and spitting out the glow...... Okay, haha, good, the name of the old man's granddaughter really has a fairy atmosphere, and the old man is very satisfied! Meng Yi groaned slightly and then grinned happily, and after a while, he looked at Chen Xu with satisfaction and said, "Yes, the virtuous son-in-law has a talent for choosing names, and the names of several daughters in the house are different, it seems that the old man has a good eye for you to choose names!" ”

Chen Xu: ......

Sure enough, it's a shameless old rascal, this is a compliment to me, I'm afraid this cheek is about as thick as the city wall of Xianyang.

"Puff~~" Looking at Chen Xu's stunned expression, Shui Rou and Ying Shiyan couldn't help but cover their mouths and sneer.

"Dad, you still have to ......" Meng Wan was about to say bad things about Dad, but was pinched back by her mother.

"Report, Master Hou, someone from the palace has come to deliver the decree!"

Just when the cheeks of the room were flushed, and everyone was buried in their hearts, the doorman hurriedly came to report again.

"Haha, it seems that the old man is still running one step faster than His Majesty, why is the virtuous son-in-law in a daze and still not going to greet the messenger!" Meng Yi smiled and handed the baby in his arms to his wife, then stood up and urged.

The emperor's envoy sent a decree, naturally it couldn't be as casual as welcoming Meng Yi, so Shui Qingrou Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan and the others all hurriedly stood up and sorted out their clothes, and then went out together to greet them.

There is no need to guess, it must be that the emperor also heard the legend of the Seven Fairies and came to rub the heat.

Soon, Chen Xu met with the palace envoy at the gate of the Qinghe Courtyard, and the palace people read out the emperor's edict, the content of which was really to praise the young master's family for the blessing of the immortals, and the fairy was reincarnated in the Chen family, and would inevitably protect the peace of the Great Qin State and the people in the future, so not only verbally praised, but also gave the same amount of silk brocade to each concubine, and the most shocking thing was that each daughter was given 300 households.

"Master Hou, before leaving, His Majesty told you, now that the weather is warm and the peach and willow green scenery in the imperial garden is just right, I must let you take a few fairies to the palace to play, please put away the holy decree, and your subordinates will return to the palace to pay off!" After the palace people finished announcing the decree, they rolled up the holy decree with a smile on their faces and stuffed it into the hands of Chen Xu who was in a daze.

"Oh, well, come, send the messenger!" Chen Xu came back to his senses and raised his hand to call the housekeeper, who took out a handful of purple Tai Chi Tongbao and stuffed it into the hands of the palace people, and then sent the palace people who were smiling from ear to ear into the carriage and left.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, it's just a matter of rewarding silk, gold and silver, and rewarding food?" Even Meng Yi is well-informed, and he is full of confusion in this matter.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been a precedent for women to divide the food estate.

Although the three hundred feudal fiefs are the lowest standard, they have entered the ranks of the real nobles, and the knights below the seventh level are at most, and there are only corn and real estate, which are all allocated by the imperial court.

The landlord class, on the other hand, belonged to the ruling class in the stage of feudal rule.

For more than 2,000 years of feudal rule in China, the most important contradiction was the most acute contradiction between the poor peasants and the landlord class.

However, the law of the Qin Dynasty protected the private ownership of the peasants' land, and the peasants who divided the food estates did not lose their land, but only handed over the grain tax to the owners of the food estates, and only the court taxes were lost, which actually had no impact on the peasants.

And it is this kind of rewarding sub-feud of the title that makes the Qin army's combat effectiveness burst, all of which killed the six countries like pink eye, but after the end of the war, Qin Shi Huang found that the country's land was not enough and the food was not enough, because once the feudal was divided, the country's tax revenue would be reduced by almost half, so he was reluctant to honor the reward of the military lord, which slowly caused the military spirit to be a little out of control, and the Qin army basically did not have too strong combat effectiveness when the Great Qin collapsed.

However, after Chen Xu's reforms, it is not the same now, the promotion of iron farming tools and new farming methods, the productivity of the land has been greatly improved, and the release of millions of soldiers from the Six Kingdoms has also made Daqin have a million more strong main labor force, and then the army has been continuously streamlined, through special terms to dismiss and resettle generals, and replace the division of feudal policies with positions and salaries, etc., so that the rewards that could not be fulfilled at all at the beginning can be discounted quickly, so all the dismissed generals are also willing to obey the arrangements of the imperial court.

So far, Daqin has almost had a perfect solution in the fulfillment of military merits, and now the court tax is increasing year by year, the income of the young government is becoming more and more sufficient, and the emperor is becoming more and more generous, and the rewards are all money and grain, and basically there is no longer much to divide the food and food, unless it is some high lords and very special merits.

For example, Chen Xu tamed those Dawan BMWs a few days ago, which made the emperor gain face, and he was happy to reward 1,000 food estates, but today for an inexplicable rumor, he actually rewarded each of Chen Xu's daughters with 300 food estates.

This news not only made Meng Yi's mind confused, but Chen Xu was also full of confusion.

"Virtuous son-in-law, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" When eating, facing a table full of delicacies, Meng Yi was still thinking about this question that made him confused, and he felt tasteless when he ate and drank.

"The son-in-law doesn't know why, I think Your Majesty wants to show mercy for the son-in-law who will give birth to seven daughters in the future, he is afraid that I can't afford to raise it!" Chen Xu explained while eating and drinking.

"Fart, how much can the old man's granddaughter eat, do you know how many people three hundred households have to feed!" Meng Yi crossed his eyebrows.

"Daddy, you're here again!" Meng Wan put down the spoon with a smile.

"Then the little son-in-law doesn't know, the three hundred households don't know where to divide the seal, what is the father-in-law so worried about, come, father-in-law, please have a drink!" Chen Xu raised his glass indifferently.
