Several clan uncles were more active than Old Man Shen, and hurriedly urged the patriarch of the Shen family, that is, the village head, Shen Shouxiao, to open an ancestral hall with Shen Shouli, and the entire old Shen family's clansmen had to go and offer incense to thank their ancestors for their blessings.

Shen Zhi followed silently, no one would notice him at this time, and now the number one person in Shenjia Village is definitely Viscount Shen Zhong, who else can remember him? Shen Zhi curled his thin lips and smiled coldly. Staring at the happy steps of Old Man Shen and Old Lady Jia, a cold light appeared in his eyes, even his father and mother who loved him the most were powerful people, and he wanted to see who could have the last laugh, who was their proudest son.

On the evening of the next day, Shen Zhong returned to Shenjia Village with his family, and as soon as he entered the village, he was warmly welcomed by his father and fellow villagers, which was even more refreshing than the feeling of returning home.

The clan uncles who were standing at the front were about to kneel down when they saw Shen Zhong first, but Shen Zhong was startled and quickly knelt down.

"Uncles and uncles, why is that?" Mr. Shen has not received the news yet, and he himself does not know about the knighthood.

"Haha...... My second brother doesn't know this good news yet! Then let me tell you! Shen Zhi's face was full of joy and pride, and he was vividly and exquisitely expressed.

"Second brother, you contributed the drawings of the waterwheel, and the current emperor personally canonized you as a viscount, and gave you a thousand acres of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold, and a Zhuangzi. What a great honor! ”

Shen Zhong couldn't trust Shen Xiaoxia, and when he saw Shen Xiaoxia nodding, he knelt straight and sat on the ground, and was stunned by the big meatloaf that suddenly fell from the sky.

And Xiao Wang, who was standing behind, would have fainted directly if Xiao Chun hadn't helped him directly, and Xiao Chun and several others were all stunned by this big news.

Mrs. Jia finally found an opportunity to complain a few words at this time, Shen Zhong didn't come back, she didn't dare to get angry at Xiao Xia directly.

"Second child, what kind of viscount did you make, and that was also crawling out of my mother's belly. Mother's words, you have to listen, this time you have to teach Xiaoxia a good lesson. It's a good 1,000 taels of gold, my mother has never seen it in her life. Before you can see it, it was donated by this dead girl, do you say defeated? ”

Before Mrs. Jia finished her anger, Shen Zhi, who was standing aside, stopped the old lady.

"Mother, Xiao Xia did the right thing, this is also for our Shen family to accumulate merit! If it weren't for the fact that the second brother had done so many good things for our village and the people in the past two years, where would he have won the appreciation of the imperial court. ”

"Shen Zhi is right." The eldest clan uncle stood up and spoke.

"As the old saying goes, good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil. The good things that Shen Zhong has done in the past two years, and the people he has rescued, God has seen it, otherwise there would be no today. ”

Mrs. Jia was told by her old son, and she felt a little shameless after being taught by her elders, and Old Man Shen glared at her several times, and finally stopped. But she still felt sorry for the box of gold, and when the box was carried away, she watched it, and the four young and strong young men were exhausted to carry it, how heavy it was!

Shen Zhi stepped forward to help Shen Zhong up, and intimately slapped the snow on his body, hugged his fists and said happily: "Second brother, you are now also a viscount who has been rewarded by the imperial court, and you have received the same royal salary as me." Although you don't have real power, our brothers will work together to strengthen our Shen family in the future. ”

"Well, Shen Zhi said it well and has ambition."

"In the future, our Shenjia Village will rely on your brothers."

Shen Zhi seemed to have forgotten Shen Zhong's words before leaving, he himself said to break off the brotherhood, it was like a different person, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, Xiao Xia watched Shen Zhi's performance and gave full marks, if she didn't know Shen Zhi himself, she would definitely believe Shen Zhi's words of righteousness Ling Ran.

Shen Zhong's family waited until it was dark before sending away waves of guests who had come to Daoxi, and when he was lying on the bed, he still couldn't believe this fact.

"Child, mother, you pinch me, see if I'm dreaming?"

Xiao Wang's family is real, and he really pinched the man hard. Shen Zhongyi frowned and sighed. "It hurts, it doesn't look like I'm dreaming."

Shen Zhong looked at the top of the bed, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or Xiao Wang, and he was chattering endlessly.

"I'm a viscount, Xiao Xia read the holy decree to me, and told me. In the future, the imperial court alone will give me 1,200 taels of silver a year. In addition, the 1,000 acres of fertile land are exempt from official grain, so we will live in the future...... There is also that Zhuangzi, Xiao Xia said that Zhuangzi is in the suburbs not far from Shaoyang City, not far from the thousands of acres of fertile land, which is convenient to take care of. ”

"In the future, you will be a serious official wife, and the girl in the family can be regarded as a young lady of the official family, and you don't have to worry about getting married. What a good thing! What a good thing! ”

Xiao Wang lay on the side and didn't make a sound, just listening, tears kept flowing, and the pillow was wet.

It is a good thing that Shen Zhong was knighted, but the year is not good, and it is not good to have a big feast. It just so happened that Shen Zhong brought back a lot of gifts from Shaoyang City, as long as he came to congratulate him, he would give a gift. After that, he gave porridge for seven consecutive days at the door of the golden and jade hall in Gushan Town, and this happy event gradually subsided.

Half a month has passed, and Shen Xiaoxia remembered that the legendary emperor's most favored princess Qingxiang also rewarded her with a box of things as a gift! Out of curiosity, Xiao Xia finally thought about opening the box and taking a look.

The box was carefully carried to the main hall by Shen Fei and Uncle Qing, and Xiao Xia's family gathered over to see curiously, the gift given by the princess must be unusual.

Xiao Xia gave Shen Fei a look, Shen Fei opened the box lightly, and everyone couldn't help but look inside to see what a strange thing was inside.

"These are all made of jade? It's too expensive, it's a princess's toy! Shen Zhong sighed.

"What is this circle by circle? What is the key for? Xiao Wang looked curious and asked.

"Mother, didn't you say that the princess finished playing, how could it be used to bolt the key." Although Xiaochun was curious, he didn't dare to move, jade is so precious, and it was rewarded by the princess, if it was broken, it would be repaid.

"Second sister, do you know what this stuff is? It's not fun for me to watch, it's not interesting. Xiaoqiu looked at the box for a long time, only feeling a little disappointed, and thought that the princess would be very interesting, but it was just a few jade rings on the jade horizontal board or frame, and it was boring to look at.

Xiao Xia's eyes lit up, and she sneered in her heart, it seems that this princess is testing herself! Isn't this all kinds of nine links?

However, these nine rings are made of white jade, jasper, gold, jade, agate, etc., and have been carefully carved, it is a pity to use it for play, and it is almost the same for appreciation!
