Chapter 162: Thanksgiving for Jun's grace
The remaining four little fathers-in-law also gave a thousand taels of silver each.
And Dong Changhe also personally arranged some specialties of Changhai County to Xu Gonggong and his party.
In the afternoon, Dong Changhe's family respectfully sent off Xu Gonggong and others.
The steward of the house gave each of them a reward of fifty taels of silver, and the rest of them ten taels each.
Five days later, the plaque of Dong Zhai was also replaced with the three big characters of "County Men's Mansion".
In this era, the distinction between doors and ranks is important, and the plaques on the doors are not hung casually.
Now Dong Changhe is already the highest-ranking official in Changhai County, and Feng County's order is only the official position of the seventh grade.
Of course, he was given a knighthood, not an official position.
But having a title in the body is much stronger than having an official position, because the title can be hereditary, and you can be a wife and a son.
That is to say, even if Dong Chengze does not participate in the scientific expedition in theory, he will inherit the title of Dong Changhe in the future, and he will also be from the fifth grade.
Of course, Dong Changhe's ambition is not only this, he also hopes that his son can win the Toad Palace in the future, enter the court, and fulfill his wish.
The family was still a little unable to come back to their senses because of the sudden canonization, and they didn't have time to think about and adapt, and someone came to congratulate them one after another on the second day, but these are all later words.
On the evening of the announcement, Dong Changhe's family sat on the kang.
Dong Changhe waved away all his subordinates, hugged Dong Chengze in his arms, and said to Yun and Xue'er: "Now our family is different from the past, to be honest, I didn't expect that I would attach so much importance to this matter today."
At that time, I thought that the most I could do was to give our family some rewards, and give me a small rank of idle officials.
I didn't expect to get a knighthood, and our Daxi Dynasty has nine grades of knighthood, although I got the lowest grade of county men. But it is much stronger than those who have official titles but do not have titles, and can be hereditary for three generations, which is a rare gift.
There is also Xue'er, the grade given by today has also surpassed the grade of the township gentleman, and the grade of the county gentleman has been given, it can be seen that Jinshang has recognized Xue'er's merits, and our family must be grateful for Jun's grace and loyal to Jinshang! ”
Although the Yun family was happy that he had a fate, because Xue'er's grade was above that of their husband and wife, the Yun family felt a little uncomfortable.
But her daughter is no longer the little girl she was able to handle at the beginning, and in this environment that pays attention to the prince of heaven and earth, the Yun family still can't give her daughter a face.
She smiled and said, "Lang Jun's advice, the concubine should keep it in mind, and she will definitely miss Jun En and dare not forget it." ”
Cher was a little apprehensive at first because of this sudden edict, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was a good thing for her.
Not to mention anything else, just say that in this ancient world where men were respected, I don't have to worry about this cheap father and mother betraying me easily, and I don't have to worry that I will be easily manipulated by my in-laws after marrying in the future.
Therefore, she was sincerely grateful to Emperor Xuanyuan, whom she had never met.
However, she also knew that there must be the credit of King You, so she smiled and said, "Daddy's instructions, Xue'er wrote it down."
It's just that Dad shouldn't ignore the merits of Youwang and others.
We have met a local official like Lord Feng who does not take credit alone, and a good official like Lord Cao who is conscientious and leads by example, and in the end, we should not forget the support of His Royal Highness King You.
Dad should find a way to let them know that our family is not ungrateful. ”
Dong Changhe nodded with satisfaction and said, "Xue'er is transparent, although you are small, but many things are thorough."
For my father, I don't hide it from you, Lord Cao, Feng County Order, and Master Feng's father gave benefits last year.
As for the Youwang, we can't do anything for the time being, so I will write an excerpt of gratitude and present it to Youwang and Jinshang. Let's pay back this kindness slowly in the future! ”
After a pause, Dong Changhe said again: "The reason why our family is where it is today is because Xue'er has contributed a lot, and now you and your mother only have a pair of children."
Your brother may inherit his father's title in the future, but this is not the end.
In order to return to the court, Xue'er still has to teach your younger brother to strive for him to be admitted to the top prize in the future, so that he can have a better future, instead of relying on the blessing of the ancestors. ”
Xue'er nodded, "Dad, don't worry, Xue'er understands." People should be self-motivated at all times, Xue'er will not slack off, and will still teach her younger brother strictly. ”
"Well, that's the truth, your brothers and sisters have to help each other, and your parents can close their eyes with peace of mind after a hundred years." Dong Changhe was relieved.
"Dad and Mom are still young, don't say anything about a hundred years from now. Xue'er is a younger brother of Ze'er, and she will help her younger brother and never give up. Cher said angrily.
On this happy day, Xue'er felt that it was really unlucky for Dong Changhe to say such things.
"Hahaha, Xue'er is right, she lost her words for her father."
Dong Changhe's words made Yun's somewhat unwilling heart balance a lot, and she said sincerely, "We Xue'er are really blessed."
In the past two years, the money earned by the family has been attributed to Cher.
Now even today's edict is due to Xue'er's reason for today's title. My mother was indeed stunned before, so she would believe the words of the blind fortune teller. ”
Xue'er remembered her predecessor again, but she still comforted the Yun family and said, "Mother, that's all in the past, we are a family after all, so don't worry so much."
The conditions of the family are getting better and better, and my father and mother also have a knighthood and destiny, and we no longer have to worry about the tree, which is a good thing for our family. ”
"Yes, Xue'er is right, the lady will not talk about the past in the future, they are all a family, when there is a fight between teeth and tongue, let's turn the page!" Dong Changhe said in agreement.
"Dad, how do teeth and tongue fight?" Dong Chengze was anxious because he couldn't speak, and finally encountered something he could talk about, so he hurriedly asked.
"Hahaha......" His fairy tale made Dong Changhe very happy.
"When you are hungry for meat, your teeth accidentally bite your tongue, isn't it just a fight between your teeth and your tongue?" Cher teased.
"Sister, you fooled Ze'er again!" Dong Chengze wrinkled his little nose and accused himself of being an unscrupulous sister.
"Hehehe......" "Hahaha......" Dong Changhe and the Yun family couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Okay, let's get back to business, the news that our family has been rewarded today has been spread, and people will come to the door tomorrow to congratulate them.
I think we won't accept expensive gifts, and if you don't accept them, you'll be saving people's face, and this lady must take care of it. ”
"Okay Langjun, I understand, we have been very low-key all these years, and this time we can't be low-key, this degree is not easy to grasp." Yun was very sober, but also said with some concern.
