There are many people in the Li clan like Li Jianhui's family, and if these people can live to the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty will give them titles such as prince and county king according to their blood and merits, or special titles for clan relatives such as Zhenguo General, Auxiliary General, and Fengguo General.

These people, regardless of their titles, are invariably fictitious titles unless they are granted a real position by His Majesty the Emperor.

They enjoy the same level of Nian Lu rice as their respective titles, but there is no real difference in them.

Those who were appointed princes and county kings, they did not need to govern their own domains like the vassal kings of the previous dynasty.

Like those clansmen who led the generals of the Zhenguo, the auxiliary generals, and the generals of Fengguo, the vassal kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty also received the annual rice from the household according to their rank, rather than directly enjoying the tax of the food estate.

This system can well solve the embarrassing situation of the feudal kings in the later period of the previous dynasty and did not listen to the orders of the imperial court at all, but because of this, this system can be said to have greatly reduced the interests of the feudal kings.

If it weren't for the strong support of Li Xun (Li Zhengshan's father), the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor and the most meritorious person else, the Great Zhou Emperor would never have been able to do this at the beginning of the founding of the country, which should have been a large-scale distribution of meritorious heroes.

From this point of view, the Great Zhou Emperor's trust and reuse of Li Xun was not just because Li Xun was his only brother-in-law.

Of course, none of this has much to do with Su Shen, a small person.

Qin Wangfu Jian was in the emperor's heart, and the most tangible benefit that Su Shen could feel at this time was probably that after Li Zhengshan left, he, Shen Feng and the others immediately received a notice of exemption from the inn.

The middle-aged fat shopkeeper of the inn personally brought the young man to visit them, and after a few words of greeting, he proposed to exempt them from all expenses during their stay in Beijing.

Of course, Su Shen and the others would not take advantage of this kind of advantage under the banner of Qin Wangfu, and Shen Feng, a delicate guy with eight faces, politely but resolutely rejected the suggestion of the innkeeper on behalf of everyone.

When the innkeeper came out of the small courtyard they rented with a regretful face, Su Shen immediately asked Cedar and Junzi to go to Yahang to inquire if there was a house for sale or rent.

This time in Beijing, although Meng Zhen did not come with him, he gave Su Shen a lot of money and asked him to buy property in Beijing depending on the situation.

Su Shen originally didn't plan to buy a mansion so soon, his original plan was to live in the inn for a while first, and when he became familiar with the capital, he discussed with Yan Zhenwu and slowly selected a suitable mansion to buy.

But Li Zhengshan was surprised and stopped a large group of them in front of the inn, and after seeing them, they would inevitably regard them as a thick line to climb the relationship with the Qin Palace.

Su Shen didn't want to be frequently harassed by those who had different agendas every day, so he planned to move out of the inn as soon as possible.

He told Shen Feng and the others about his plans, and sincerely invited them to move out with him.

Of course, Shen Feng and the others don't want to be a stepping stone for others to cling to the powerful.

They are here to take the imperial examination, not to use a lead as a springboard for others.

Therefore, as soon as Su Shen said this, several people immediately nodded one after another, indicating that they must move out as soon as possible with Su Shen.

Everyone was able to agree on their opinions, and Su Shen was naturally very happy.

For the same consideration, Su Shen did not personally visit the Shen family of the Hou Mansion in Dingbei the next day.

Except for the old man Shen who was not at home for ten days and a half, the adult men of the Shen family (General Shen and Shen Weide) were all in Guangningwei in Liaodong Mansion at this time.

Su Shen really wants to come to the door, and the Shen family may not be able to find a suitable male host to entertain him, the new aunt who has returned to the door.

Thinking about it this way, it would be more appropriate for Su Shen not to go than to go.

So, the day after staying in the inn, Su Shen only asked Sister-in-law Guo, who was sent by Meng Hao to take care of their meals, to quietly send a gift to the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Sister-in-law Guo went with Meng Zhen's post, and not long after the post was sent in, Shen Weide's wife personally met Sister-in-law Guo in the small flower hall in her yard.

After experiencing the words and deeds of Mrs. Shen's confidant and grandmother, the local atmosphere on her body has already gradually converged, and at this time, when she entered the palatial mansion, she was naturally nervous and novel, but her manners and words were barely able to hold back.

She handed over the gift list to Shen Weide's wife's personal maid, and then said a few words such as "My master asked the slave to convey gratitude and greetings on his behalf" and "A meager gift is not a tribute".

Although Shen Weide's wife has never met Meng Zhen, in order to please her mother-in-law, Mrs. Shen, Shen Weide's wife did not forget to let people bring a gift to Meng Zhen in Ninghai County during the New Year's holiday.

Anyway, the Marquis Mansion of the capital often has to send things to Guangningwei, and bring a little bit to Meng Zhen along the way, which is completely a matter of casual instructions for Shen Weide's wife.

And Meng Zhen doesn't have the habit of owing favors to everyone, every time Shen Weide's wife asks someone to give her something, she will return the gift with a large bag.

In this way, the two of them can be regarded as having a relationship.

This is also why after Su Shen came to Beijing, he would send Guo's sister-in-law to the Hou Mansion in the name of Meng Zhen to greet her.

"There is a lot of work for your master to worry about."

Shen Weide's wife is not tall, fair-skinned, and her bearing around her body is raised in the nest of wealth.

She talked to Sister-in-law Guo gently, if you only look at her smile like a flower now, no one can imagine that this little woman can actually restrain General Shen's stepmother Feng in the Hou Mansion.

On her side, she had a casual conversation with Aunt Guo without a word, and on the other hand, her right-hand maid and housekeeper's mother had quickly prepared a return gift and a purse for her.

Of course, the return gift was for Meng Zhen, and the purse was filled with silver from the Shen family to Guo's sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Guo didn't stay for a long time, and after sitting on the edge of the round stool for a while, Sister-in-law Guo got up in time to say goodbye.

Shen Weide's wife then pushed the boat down the river, and let her nurse Jiang Mama send Guo's sister-in-law to the outside of the flower hall.

As soon as Mama Jiang led Sister-in-law Guo out of the flower hall, one of Shen Weide's wife's eldest maids was already welcoming them with a smile on her face.

She first stuffed a purse to Sister-in-law Guo, "This is our young lady rewarding her aunt." ”

Sister-in-law Guo hurriedly curtsied in the direction of the flower hall, "Thank you young lady for the reward." ”

Although Shen Weide's wife must not be able to see this ceremony, isn't it that there are still her henchmen present, and Sister-in-law Guo can't lose her courtesy.

She put away her purse, and then took a gift slip from the maid's hand.

As for the gifts, naturally, the housekeeper's mother had someone send them to the carriage brought by Sister-in-law Guo.
