Xiao Man took the pearl to the hall and respectfully knelt to listen to the chief eunuch in the palace pronounce the decree in a unique voice.

Sure enough, the Holy Decree General Lu Li praised him, told about his contribution in the process of suppressing bandits, and successfully took down the criminal minister Chu Yu with Li Lin, but because Lu Li was already unsealable, he could only reward him with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and even the deeds of several shops in the most prosperous area of Bei'an City.

After the chief eunuch finished reading the decree, Xiao Man took it with both hands, and then the chief eunuch waved the dust, and seven heavy big boxes were carried in by the subordinates, lined up in a neat row and placed in the hall, the big boxes were opened one by one, and the pearlescent light was shining, reflecting that the hall of the county king's mansion, which was originally only elegantly arranged, was also magnificent.

The chief eunuch held the dust in his hand and said to Su Xiaoman with a smile: "County Lord, this is a reward specially tailored for you after the king knows that you want to open a ready-to-wear store, are you still satisfied?" ”

You must know that when he wrote the holy decree before, because Lu Li had always been indifferent to fame and fortune, he didn't pay much attention to everything, and he couldn't send beauties as usual, which caused the king to be really distressed for a while, or the chief eunuch usually liked to collect all kinds of news, and happened to know that the county lord wanted to open a ready-to-wear store recently, so he made this suggestion.

Su Xiaoman smiled softly: "Naturally, I am satisfied, and I hope that the Lord will convey his gratitude to the king for me." After speaking, Xiao Man made a color towards the pearl.

Pearl stepped forward and handed a full purse to the chief eunuch, who quietly put it away, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

Su Xiaoman also sighed when she saw this, although she had never experienced this kind of potential rule, but fortunately, Wanrou had taught her a lot of experience before.

"Then the county lord, the Sprinkle family will retire first, and there is still a holy decree in Lord Li's mansion that has not been announced."

After sending off the chief eunuch, Wang Shu walked out of the back hall, stood still in front of Xiao Man, and looked at Su Xiaoman with bright and clear eyes curiously, "Father succeeded, right?" ”

Su Xiaoman smiled and picked up Wangshu, "Well, your father and Master Li successfully suppressed the bandits and put those hateful mountain bandits in prison, and made a great contribution." As for Chu Yu's affairs, even if Wangshu was precocious, Su Xiaoman didn't want to let these things disturb his growth.

"That's great!" Wangshu clenched his little fist and screamed in surprise, showing such a happy look.

Su Xiaoman's heart moved, stretched out a hand and pulled the corner of Wangshu's mouth, and said with some sighs: "How good is this, just like a child, you are not allowed to learn from your father in the future, with a straight face all day long, I don't know that I think others owe him a lot of silver taels." ”

In the end, Su Xiaoman covered his mouth and laughed, Wangshu was pinched by his mother's cheeks, it was inevitable that he was a little shy, and he was embarrassed to resist, so he had to bear it obediently, and a touch of blush climbed on his fair cheeks, which made Su Xiaoman even more in love, and the two of them played in the hall, and the subordinates of the county lord's mansion also looked at the mother and son with a smile in their eyes.

As soon as Lu Li returned home, he saw this warm and beautiful picture in the hall, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, feeling that even if he suffered a lot outside, it was worth it for this pair of treasures.

"Father! Mother, look, my father is back. Wangshu, who was anxious to get rid of his mother's "clutches", saw Lu Li coming back at a glance and hurriedly shouted.

Su Xiaoman didn't know Wangshu's careful thoughts, but she still put Wangshu down and greeted Lu Li.

"Coming back?"

"Hmm."

Lu Li opened his arms and hugged Su Xiaoman into his arms, and the simple conversation made Lu Li warmer.

Wangshu also walked over and grabbed the corner of Lu Li's clothes, "Father, are you hungry, my mother has already prepared a meal, just waiting for you to come back." ”

With a free hand and rubbing Wangshu's head, Lu Li responded: "It's hard work, then let's go to dinner as a family of three." After speaking, he and Su Xiaoman glanced at each other, looking at Su Xiaoman's gentle eyebrows as always, Lu Li felt as if he had returned to Bishui Village, and all happiness came from simplicity and simplicity.

After lunch, Lu Li and Su Xiaoman had a good time in the room for a while, Su Xiaoman snuggled in Lu Li's arms, and suddenly said, "By the way, there are still people in the palace in the morning." ”

"I know, the king said that he had issued a holy decree, and it was those big boxes." Lu Li said, stroking Su Xiaoman's back a few times with his hand.

Although she is an old husband and wife, Su Xiaoman is still a little unaccustomed, she blushed and grabbed Lu Li's troublemaking hand: "Let's get down to business, don't make trouble." ”

Lu Li looked at her with a smile and stopped obediently: "Well, you can say it." ”

Su Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief, "Aren't I going to go back to my old business and open another ready-to-wear store these days, because the house is not so abundant, and I asked Master Li to help me inquire about where there are cheap shops in Bei'an City." Who knew that today the king not only solved the urgent need for money, but also gave a few shops, I have seen the deed, and they are among the best shops in Bei'an City. ”

Su Xiaoman told Lu Li bit by bit about what had happened recently, and Lu Li hugged Xiaoman and nodded from time to time, feeling very sufficient.

"You said that the king is so gracious, how can we thank him?" Su Xiaoman has always adhered to courtesy, and it is inevitable that he will be a little distressed at this moment.

"No thanks." Lu Li scratched Xiao Man's delicate nose with his fingers, met her disgusted eyes, and said confidently, "This is what your husband and I deserve." ”

Su Xiaoman smiled dumbly, but he couldn't find a reason to refute him: "Okay, you deserve it." However, we still have to do our best to do what we have to do here. ”

After the two chatted, someone from the palace sent invitations, and it turned out that the king had set up a dinner party and invited many ministers to the palace to admire the moon.

When the time came, the two changed their clothes and told Hao Wangshu to rest early without waiting for them to come back, so they got into the carriage and entered the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, although the people in the palace naturally knew General Lu and Lord Su, they still strictly checked the invitations before letting them go, which made Lu Li nod appreciatively: "It is worthy of being a person in the palace, and the rules are good." ”

The guard who led the way in front replied proudly: "This is all ordered by Lord Li himself, Lord Li said that the more relaxed we are, the more vigilant we must be, and only strict requirements can ensure the safety of the king." ”

Su Xiaoman, who was parallel to Lu Li, said with a smile: "Master Li is indeed powerful. ”

Although it was not the first time he had entered the palace, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but admire the architecture in the palace.

The road that just entered the palace is all paved with bluestone slabs, which is very wide and magnificent. As the guards approached the place where the dinner was held, the surrounding landscape gradually changed from majestic to delicate. Along the way, the pavilions and pavilions, the height is staggered, and the corridor waist is back. On both sides of the road, there are all kinds of precious flowers, which are very colorful and dazzling.

When they arrived at the destination, Lu Li and Su Xiaoman separated, a maid took Su Xiaoman to her place and retreated, Su Xiaoman sat down, there were not many vacancies in the banquet, it seemed that most people came very early, and Su Xiaoman was already sitting on both sides of the women, and they greeted Su Xiaoman kindly, and Xiaoman also responded one by one with a smile.

"You're the king's new lord, aren't you? I heard that the greenhouse vegetables you planted in the suburbs were recently destroyed by mountain bandits, and now they can be restored? A lady asked with concern.

Canglan country is located in the barren north, the real estate is not abundant, the local people usually eat meat, the men are fine, but women are naturally more fond of vegetables, so when I saw Su Xiaoman here, the most curious thing was that she cultivated vegetables, as for the matter of the mountain bandits, even the courtiers who knew about it would not talk nonsense to the women at home, so they didn't know the hidden secret.

Even if the matter has passed, thinking of the many turmoil experienced recently, revisiting this matter still makes Su Xiaoman a little sentimental, but this is not at home, Xiaoman cheered up and responded with a smile: "The matter of the mountain bandits has been solved, but the vegetables in the greenhouse still have to wait for a while for the weather to warm up before they can start the experiment again." ”

"In this case, then we will have to wait for a while before we can see the results of the county lord's experiment."

Seeing that the lady who asked her was a little disappointed in her eyes, the kind-hearted Su Xiaoman couldn't help but comfort: "Having said that, but I have gained a lot of experience in the previous experiments, and I believe that the day when the people of Canglan Country will be able to eat vegetables is not far away." ”

"Really?" The lady asked in surprise, it seemed that she really liked to eat vegetables.

Su Xiaoman smiled and nodded.

"The king has arrived!"

The conversation in all parts of the room ceased, and they all got up and saluted the king.

Unlike in the previous dynasty, the king changed into a less cumbersome daily clothes, but he was still imposing.

After sitting down, Wang Shang smiled calmly: "Zhongqing is flat, today is a lonely banquet to admire the moon, and I hope that Zhongqing will not be restrained, just feel free." ”

The ministers smiled and responded, they could see that the king was indeed in a good mood today, and his originally tense face relaxed a lot.

After the master of ceremonies said an opening remark, Wang Shang, Lu Li and Li Lin drank a cup of each other, and said a few words of condolence, and then, as he said before, he no longer talked about business, so that the ministers gradually enjoyed it wholeheartedly and integrated into the performance at the banquet.

The first few performers were specially choreographed musicians and dancers in the palace, and the exquisite music and dancing made everyone fascinated, and then there were several well-known folk performers with different styles, which was an eye-opener for the guests present.

In the end, the king thought together, and suddenly said loudly: "There are many female dependents who came today, and the children of Bei'an City are all talented and talented, I wonder if I am lucky enough to see one or two today?" ”

As soon as the king's words came out, everyone heard it clearly, especially those young men and young girls who thought they were a little talented, and their eyes lit up, which was clearly the opportunity for the king to show themselves.
