Chapter 261: Rich and Noble Marquis
"Evil obstacles, evil obstacles!"
Mrs. Xu had a cold face, raised her hand and pointed to the door, "Get out and kneel, I don't want to see you now!" β
"Grandmother, then, this errand ......"
"Get outβ"
β¦β¦
When Mrs. Xu was angry in the Xu Mansion, and Xu Huaiyi, the Duke of Antai, had no face and no skin, Anshun County came to another team of messengers.
In this team of messengers, Zhao Rui has always been simple, and has successfully won the recognition of everyone in the team.
There are several officials from the Ministry of Rites, who went to Old Man Xu's house with Yan Jing last time to pass on the decree, and they are also old acquaintances with Zhao Rui, after all, they have lived in the inn of the Zhao family.
The team that passed the decree this time was naturally at the behest of Emperor Yongping and came to reward the second master Zhao who was too kind-hearted.
Rich and noble!
This is the canonization given by Emperor Yongping to Zhao Bingzhi and Zhao Er.
The power of one person has helped the affected people of the entire Xiangyi Prefecture, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "rich" with such financial resources.
Knowing that his master was actually made a marquis, Zhao Rui really didn't expect it. Therefore, along the way, the proclamation team will take care of everything.
When the team arrived in Anshun County, Zuoqiu, who had just returned from the field, got the news and immediately summoned a group of officials from the county government and hurried to meet the Qincha team.
As a result, the team that carried the decree did not stop in the county seat, and went directly through the city and went to Sanhe Town.
Zhao Rui rushed to Sanhe Town in such a hurry with the Qincha team purely because he was worried that something would happen.
When the decree is read and his master becomes a rich and noble marquis, he will be able to feel at ease.
Zhao Rui, who once collapsed in front of Mount Tai and remained unchanged, is really not calm now.
Luckily, nothing happened.
The procession arrived at the town of Trois-Rivières and read the decree.
The moment Zhao Bingzhi received the holy decree, he officially became a marquis of the Tang Dynasty, a rich and noble marquis.
"It's a little cheesy!"
Zhao Bingzhi accepted the will, and when there was no one, he was a little unhappy.
Rich, rich, sounds a little rustic.
When Zhao Rui placed the people of the Qincha team and returned to the front of Second Master Zhao, he proudly raised his eyebrows at his master and said, "Master, how about it, I did a good job on this errand!" β
"Master Hou!"
"Xiao Wu, my title was set by the emperor? Or who decides? β
Zhao Bingzhi looked at Zhao Rui and asked slowly.
"Well, that's what Master Yan Jingyan suggested. The disciple thinks it's very good, it's very much in line with you, Master! β
"Sure enough, it's this stinky boy!"
Zhao Bingzhi snorted, "I'll just say, how can the emperor be so cheesy." After making trouble for a long time, it was Yan Jing, the stinky boy, who blocked the old man! β
"Master, isn't this title very good?"
"We are rich, that's a fact!"
Zhao Rui didn't think there was anything bad about the title of this rich and noble marquis. On the contrary, he also felt that this title was very suitable for his master.
"Xiao Wu, you use the local dialect of our capital to talk about the word "wealthy!"
"Fuguier...... Fuguier......"
Zhao Rui really said according to Zhao Bingzhi's words, and after only saying it twice, Zhao Rui's face became a little ugly.
"Master, I was wrong!"
"Yan Jing, this bastard thing, I'm not done with him!"
Zhao Rui is about to get angry.
Fugui'er, Fugui'er, in the local dialect of the capital, it is very much like calling a fool. There are also some families who like to name their dogs Fuguier.
Rich and noble, this is too deceitful!
"Alright, don't be angry!"
Zhao Bingzhi thought about it very much, "Isn't it just a title?" β
"Besides, I probably won't go back to the capital in my life, what's the title, that's it!"
"I'm just wondering, Yan Jing, a stinky boy, even if he doesn't like the old man, he won't use this kind of indiscriminate means."
"Master, what are you doing with all this?"
"I can't swallow this breath anyway!"
Zhao Rui thought that he was still happy to thank Yan Jing at that time, and his heart was like a needle prick.
"Whatever you want!"
Zhao Bingzhi smiled, "Just take a beating, don't make too much trouble." Although this stinky boy has a bit of a poisonous mouth, his nature is not bad, and he is also a capable person. β
"How can one beat be enough? I'll have to give him three meals a day. β
"It's so infuriating!"
Zhao Rui was really angry at this time.
I think he has always been clever before, but this time, he was actually tricked.
"Don't be angry, since you're back, help me keep an eye on the dragon boat race!"
"Master, what exactly are you going to do in the dragon boat race?"
As soon as he heard his master talk about the dragon boat race, Zhao Rui was even more puzzled.
Dragon boat racing is available in many places in Datang.
In previous years, his master was not interested in this kind of thing at all. Why is this year so special, I actually mention this dragon boat race again and again.
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
"When the time comes, you'll understand."
Zhao Bingzhi waved his hand and didn't explain much.
Zhao Rui couldn't ask why, so he could only suppress the questions in his heart and find someone to inquire about the current situation of the dragon boat race.
β¦β¦
Lingshui Village, the old Xu family.
Old Man Xu saw Zuoqiu who came in a hurry again.
From Zuoqiu's mouth, Old Man Xu knew about Zhao Bingzhi being canonized as a rich marquis.
A rich and noble marquis!
In this Anshun County boundary, Zhao Bingzhi immediately became the most honorable person.
According to the etiquette system, Old Man Xu, a seven-grade filial piety and righteous man, should go to visit Zhao Bingzhi, a wealthy marquis.
"Big brother, this is etiquette!"
"Even if you have any grudges against Fuguihou, at this time, you can only put these aside for the time being."
"I understand!"
Old Man Xu felt like eating a fly.
He didn't think that Zhao Bingzhi donated hundreds of millions of family fortunes just to get a false name of the marquis, so that he could go and see him.
Among them, there must be some secrets, and Zhao Bingzhi must have other plans. οΌ
But what Zhao Bingzhi is trying to do, Old Man Xu has no clues, and he can't guess.
"Big brother, this, you still have to meet the rich and noble marquis as soon as possible. Don't let people scratch your pigtails, now we are too weak! β
Even if Yan Jing and Shen Wansheng are brought in, they will not be enough to see in the face of a first-class marquis.
"Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, so I won't be rash!"
Old Man Xu smiled slightly, so that Zuoqiu didn't need to worry.
Well, whatever his little uncle is up to.
As long as he is upright and upright in everything, he is not afraid of these petty conspiracies.
"Big brother, then I'll go back first!"
"Recently, there have been a lot of things in the yamen!"
"The matter of the Yang clan can't be delayed any longer, and recently, I may not have time to come over again!"
"Big brother, take care!"
Zuoqiu spoke, and the old man Xu who listened to it had a black line on his forehead.
Why does it feel so wrong when good words come out of Zuoqiu's mouth?
However, without waiting for Old Man Xu to say anything, Zuoqiu also realized that his words seemed a little weird, and his face was embarrassed, so he quickly explained, "Big brother, I didn't mean that." β
Wait, what do I mean?
Zuoqiu reflected on what he had just said, and there seemed to be no problem.
Old Man Xu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, if you keep talking, I feel that I am about to be in a big disaster now!" β
"Uh......"
Zuoqiu was even more embarrassed.
Old Man Xu laughed, stood up, and said, "Fourth brother, I understand your intentions, and there will be no accident on my side." Fuguihou, in the end, my brother-in-law. β
"I didn't feel sorry for my mother, so he wouldn't trouble me."
What kind of person is his little uncle, Old Man Xu is also a little confused. Still, in general, he can still understand a thing or two.
The matter of his mother being a mother should have left some obsession in his little uncle's heart.
This obsession is like a double-edged sword, which can hurt others as well as oneself.
Similarly, this obsession also put Mr. Xu in a very awkward position. This embarrassment lies in the fact that he is his mother's son, but he still has the blood of the Xu family that his uncle hates.
Old Man Xu couldn't figure out what Zhao Bingzhi was going to do, but he understood that as long as he didn't return to the Xu family, his little uncle would have no reason to take action against him.
Zuoqiu didn't know these secrets, but he was somewhat relieved to see Old Man Xu in his chest.
As he said, he has been really busy lately.
Life is too short for him to race against time.
β¦β¦
"Boss, go and prepare two chickens and two ducks, and go with me to relatives!"
After sending Zuoqiu away, Old Man Xu, who returned home, immediately called Boss Xu.
"What kind of relatives?"
Boss Xu was quite confused, "Dad, do you still have relatives here?" Why didn't I know? β
"Go to town!"
Old Man Xu glared at his eldest son angrily, "Your little uncle has just been given the title of a rich marquis, and your father and I, the seventh-grade filial piety, are supposed to go to see you." β
"Huh?!"
Boss Xu was dumbfounded, "Dad, what did my uncle do?" It's too easy to get a title, isn't it? β
"There is a big drought in our Xiangyi Mansion, and each family's 200 catties of millet are issued by the imperial court on the surface, but in fact, this is your brother-in-law's handwriting."
"Do you think this title came easily?"
"No, it's not easy!"
Boss Xu was completely shocked.
With such a big spend, his little uncle is really rich. Just, is it a good deal?
Old Man Xu didn't pay attention to Boss Xu anymore, but went into the house to find Mrs. Xu and asked her to take Fubao with her.
"Wouldn't it be rude for you to bring two chickens and two ducks?"
"That depends on what my little uncle thinks!"
Why bring two chickens and two ducks, this is exquisite.
Because when he was a child, his mother often hummed an interesting song to him, the lyrics of which have these two lines, a chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right hand, and a fat doll on his back.
His mother said that this song is called going back to his mother's house.
However, from the day they came out of Xu's Mansion, his mother had no mother's home, and he couldn't go back to his mother's house!
