Chapter 248: Bestowed

"Wait a minute."

Everyone was frightened, and they all raised their heads to look at the person who dared to interrupt the holy decree loudly. The guts are too fat!

I saw two people riding fast horses not far away, one after the other, running towards this side against the cold wind. On the back of the horse running in front was a girl in a red cloak, and when the horse was close, everyone could see clearly, isn't this the lame girl Shen Xiaoxia of Shen Zhong's family?

Natsu approached the flag team and tightened her horse's ropes. Turning the horse's head, he dismounted and saluted.

"Let the adults wait for a long time, and the people's daughter Shen Xiaoxia came to receive the order." There are her eyeliners everywhere near Gushan Town, and as soon as Xiao Xia enters the territory of Jiuyang City, someone will come to inform her of this, and of course she will rush over desperately to receive the order.

The father-in-law standing opposite deliberately looked at the girl in front of him, if it wasn't for Xiao Xia who took two steps after dismounting, he could see that this girl was indeed a lame girl, otherwise, just looking at the posture of this girl riding a horse, she was really more chic and neat than ordinary men.

"You are Shen Xiaoxia? What about Shen Zhong? ”

"If you go back to the adults, we also entered Jiuyang City before we received the news, and my father dragged the family with him, and it was really not fast. I can only send me to come to receive the order. ”

The father-in-law thought about it, anyway, the people in the carriage behind him wanted to see this girl, and Shen Zhong, a farmer, had no need to see him at all. So he nodded and started anew.

Shen Xiaoxia hurriedly knelt down with the spring flowers that came with him to receive the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor called and said, diligent farmer Shen Zhong, loyal and simple, virtuous, wise and filial piety, the waterwheel into the court, beneficial to the people, meritorious to the community, so reward a thousand acres of good land, a Zhuangzi, a thousand taels of gold, the title of viscount, Qin this ......"

"Thank you for your grace."

After listening to the holy decree, even Xiao Xia, she was shocked, she thought that she could get some fields given by the royal family, but she didn't expect to get the title of a viscount, so in the future, won't her father also be regarded as a person who eats public food?

Everyone was excited, the most excited was the old man Shen, his second son, who couldn't read a few words, was now knighted, although he didn't know what a title could represent, but he knew that his family's ancestral tomb was not only smoking, it was simply a cannon battle, and it soared into the sky.

The most unhappy and even resentful is Shen Zhi, he can't wait to strangle Shen Zhong now, he said why is Shen Zhong unwilling to give that drawing to himself? So you're waiting here? Otherwise, these should have been their own, and the title was also their own. Could it be that he would have to kneel down and salute when he saw that nesty second brother in the future? He was not reconciled!

Xiao Xia carefully took the holy decree, and someone behind him carried two large boxes of rewards.

The father-in-law pinched his throat and said to everyone: "This box is the gold rewarded by the emperor, and the other box is given to Miss Shen by Princess Qingxiang." ”

"Princess Qingxiang?" Qingxiang Princess Xiaoxia has heard of it for a long time, but she and that princess can say that one is in heaven and one on earth, how can she get the princess's reward?

The father-in-law saw that Xiao Xia was confused, but he kindly said a few more words.

"I heard that the drawing was drawn by a girl, and the emperor knew that you were only eleven years old, just the same age as the emperor's favorite princess Qingxiang, and that you were so intelligent, so he praised you. Princess Qingxiang knew that she wanted to follow the miscellaneous family out to meet you, but how could the princess Jinzhi Yuye easily leave the imperial city, the princess failed to come, but moved some of her usual favorite gadgets into a box for the miscellaneous family to send to the girl, and also instructed, when the girl will come to Beijing, you will enter the imperial city for the princess to see! ”

Xiao Xia quickly thanked her, no matter what the purpose of this princess was, she must be grateful to Dade for accepting these rewards.

"My lord, my father has been rewarded by the emperor, and I have been rewarded by the princess, and I only feel very ashamed. This thousand taels of gold, which was donated to the people of Zezhou by the elder laborer, is a little bit of our heart. ”

As soon as Xiao Xia's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar, and even Shen Zhi was shocked again. That's a thousand taels of gold! said that if she donated, she would donate, how did she do it? Isn't she distressed?

The father-in-law who announced the decree was also stunned for a moment, but he often went out of the imperial city to announce the decree and reward the holy decrees of the ministers, he didn't know how much he had read. The first time I saw that the reward had not yet arrived, he donated it directly, especially since the other party was still a poor farmer, this thousand taels of gold was not a small amount?

"Are you sure the girl will donate them all?" My father-in-law confirmed it again.

The old lady Jia who was kneeling behind wanted to run over and cover Shen Xiaoxia's mouth, it was a thousand taels of gold! It's not silver, her granddaughter is really a loser, why did Shen Zhong let this loser come back to receive the holy decree?

"I'm sure that it is my father's wish to contribute to the Kyushu Dynasty, and I have already obtained the title and land, and this thousand taels of gold can just be used to build a waterwheel project in Zezhou, what a good thing."

The father-in-law nodded appreciatively, and admired this sensible and intelligent girl very much, and she was worthy of being recommended by Master He and Confucius Confucius.

Suddenly, there was a coughing sound in the carriage behind, and the father-in-law trembled, glanced at the carriage cautiously from behind, turned back to Shen Xiaoxia and said, "An adult wants to see you, you come to talk." ”

Xiao Xia was strange, but he still followed his father-in-law to approach the carriage, and the people in the carriage never moved, but the guards standing next to the carriage climbed into the carriage and came down after a while, and asked Xiao Xia a few questions.

Xiao Xia was a little confused by the question, but she still answered truthfully.

"Back to my lord, the girl's leg fell from a tree when she was young and ignorant, and she was separated because she didn't seek medical attention in time. As for the adults praising the peasant girls for their intelligence, the folk girls didn't dare to be them, just a few words they knew. ”

Xiao Xia was asked a few questions inexplicably, and was dismissed.

After Xiao Xia received the reward of the holy decree, the flag team turned around and left in a majestic manner.

The big people have all walked away, and the talents in Shenjia Village dare to stand up and speak, and one of them is happy to say hello to Shen Xiaoxia and to Old Man Shen. If there were other good things, there would always be one or two of these people who were greedy and jealous, but for such a thing as being crowned an official and a knight, they gave them a few courages to dig in the fields, and they didn't dare to be jealous.

There is a viscount in Shenjia Village, and that is the glory of the entire Shenjia Village! In the future, it will be easier for the family to marry a daughter-in-law from another village, and Shenjia Village in ten miles and eight villages will become popular again!

"Observance! You're in good luck! Shen Zhong is really a good example, our ancestors have been poor peasants for eighteen generations! Finally, a viscount has been cultivated in our generation, and we are now dead, and we are worthy of our ancestors! ”

"What are you waiting for, quickly let the patriarch add a stroke to our Shen family tree, Shen Zhong has rewritten the characters of our old Shen family, and after a hundred years, his ranking will be worshiped by the incense of his descendants from generation to generation."

"yes, what are you waiting for, hurry!"
