Liu Meibao saw Xie Siniang's coffin at the city gate, the first to wear linen and filial piety is her ten adopted sons, from the oldest to the youngest in order to carry out the filial piety ceremony, the funeral on the other side of the salt pond beach has been prepared, after Xie Siniang and Zhao Gui were buried together, the ten children knelt together outside the door of Guizi Niang's house and shouted grandma.

Ever since she promised to let Xie Siniang enter the grave, the door of Guiziniang's house has been closed, and this moment finally opened.

After the funeral of Xie Siniang and the victims, a larger ancestral temple was built next to the ancestral temple that had been built in the past to prepare for the upcoming public sacrifice.

It was a huge building, and the main hall was already busy with all the craftsmen day and night.

Liu Meibao sat on the kang and gently rubbed his shoulders for Lu Yan, who was lying with his eyes closed, and looked at Lu Yan's face without moving away for a moment.

"Don't look at it, it's like this again.." Lu Yan smiled, opened his eyes, and raised his hand to hold her hand.

Liu Meibao's eyes were a little red, and she lowered her head and buried her head in his neck.

Lu Yan didn't speak, just held her hand tightly.

The husband and wife snuggled quietly like this.

A few days later, the court's reward was posthumously given.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yan was rewarded, Lu Yan was knighted and named the Duke of Wu.

A military attache who was less than thirty years old was knighted.

Ning Baohua almost fainted the moment he heard it, and the yamen was also boiling.

Lu Yan's expression was flat, and he didn't seem to hear the words of the eunuch, but according to Ning Baohua, he should not have understood what Wu Guogong was at all.

The next Zhang Shun and others also had promotions and rewards, and the new official uniforms and waist cards had been sent along with the officials who announced the decree, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely excited.

However, everyone can't take care of these for the time being, and after the reward is down, the public sacrifice in Shanxi can also be carried out.

The holy decree gave posthumous rewards to these victims according to their positions, gave them sacrifices, built shrines, and honored their parents, wives and children.

The ancestral temple has a preliminary outline, and the spiritual seats of the soldiers who died in the battle this time have been put in. The dense spirit cards gave people a great impact and shock.

The officials who came to announce the edict hung a plaque on the Baozhong Temple inscribed by the emperor, and Shanxi Susu held a worship for three consecutive days.

It wasn't until this moment that all the busyness came to an end.

Wang Mo stopped Lu Yan from writing an excerpt of gratitude to the emperor.

"Look at it." Lu Yan just said.

Wang Mo took out what had already been written, Lu Yan opened it and read it, and Ning Baohua also came over to read it.

"You're crazy, ask the court for these things, what's this called? It's gratitude, not gratitude! Ning Baohua said with a glare.

Wang Mo's fold was in addition to a few words of thanks. began to list it wantonly, asking for the casualties' soldiers' settlement silver, plowing cattle and saying that it was for the families of the casualties and soldiers to use for farming, and also asking for pigs, cattle and sheep, saying that it was for sacrifices, and by the way, he also mentioned that he was exempting Shanxi from grain for three years, and expanding the number of military households in Shanxi, only to see Ning Baohua dizzy.

Lu Yan still didn't react, and Ning Baohua didn't expect him to react immediately, this kid must be silently reciting the words on the fold in his mind at this time. It is estimated that if you can react, it will be the middle of the night at the earliest.

Wang Mo smiled and shook the folding fan.

"I think Your Majesty should be glad to see him. And not Shane. He said.

How Ning Baohua and Wang Mo argued, Lu Yan didn't listen to it again, anyway, after they finished arguing, they just had to see the final opinion.

When Lu Yan returned home, Liu Meibao was hugging Rou'er and letting her meet her new brothers.

"This is Brother King Kong.. Haha.."

When the name was pronounced, Liu Meibao couldn't help laughing.

Rou'er didn't know what was wrong with her mother, so she was busy laughing.

King Kong, who was standing under the porch, snorted and turned his head.

"Brother King Kong's name is good. Mom used to hear a story about a powerful man with that name. Liu Meibao hurriedly said to Rou'er, and also to King Kong.

Young people are the most hero-worshippers, and King Kong's face is really good.

"Is it as good as Daddy?" Rou'er asked. Her father is the most powerful person in her heart.

Liu Meibao nodded and said of course.

Young King Kong was a little embarrassed to receive such a heavy compliment.

"Auntie, I'm Sima." Standing behind King Kong, the thin-looking and clean young man said, with a light smile on his face, making the whole person look delicate, completely different from King Kong's rough, awkward and stubborn, "This is the eldest lady, the eldest lady is really good-looking." ”

He said with a smile.

Rou'er already understood the word good-looking, and when she heard this, she immediately had a good impression of the talking brother in front of her.

"I'm thirteen years old this year, a native of Huairou, who escaped from the wilderness with my father and mother and met a horse thief, but fortunately my godmother saved my life." He continued, thinking fluently and speaking clearly.

"Has Sima ever read?" Liu Meibao couldn't help asking.

"I know a few words, and I dare not say that I have read a book." Sima replied.

"The study at home is on the west side." Liu Meibao smiled, stretched out her finger to show him, and said to the little guys standing on the side, "You can go and see it at any time." ”

"Thank you, auntie." Sima smiled and said seriously, "Auntie is really kind, godmother often tells us that auntie is as kind as a bodhisattva." ”

Liu Meibao was praised by him and laughed a little, looking at the young man.

"It's your godmother who is benevolent, what kind of person you say will see what kind of person, she looks at me like this, which means that she is a bodhisattva." She laughed.

As they said this, a boy the size of a gentle child had tumbled down the porch uneasily, and the servants were so frightened that they hurried to help them.

Liu Meibao also hurriedly pulled Rou'er over.

"Peace, be careful." She looked at the child, who was a lap thinner than Rou'er.

The child grinned at Liu Meibao, and saliva flowed down unconsciously.

This child has some problems with intelligence, Liu Meibao already knows, Xie Siniang was buried that day, and the child, who didn't know why he was alive and dead, grinned and patted Xie Siniang's coffin, and shouted to his mother to get up and eat while making his speech even more sad.

"Mother, he's so dirty." Rou'er pointed and shouted.

King Kong, who had been watching this side, changed his complexion, and he was about to come over, but he was pulled by Sima.

"What are you doing, don't you go with peace, do you have to watch him be disliked?" King Kong whispered, "I don't have your cheekiness. I can't please them, just leave."

Before his words fell, he saw Rou'er here holding the handkerchief in his hand and rushing over to Ping'an, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wipe it for you, my brother was always drooling when he was a child." Rou'er said, holding Ping'an, who was a head younger than herself, with one hand and learning from the servant woman to serve herself, and carefully wiping the child.

It is estimated that more than half of them use this child as a toy. Liu Meibao pursed her lips and smiled.

"It's okay, let people cook pig's tails and eat them when the time comes, it'll be fine." Rou'er said.

Ping'an looked at Rou'er with a grin and nodded vigorously.

Seeing this drooling brother so well-behaved, Rou'er was very happy.

"Let's go, I'll take you to play." She said.

Ping'an didn't recognize his life, so he nodded naturally, Rou'er was overjoyed, and felt that this younger brother must be a good playmate, much better than the two brothers who refused to play with him.

Liu Meibao did not stop it. Laughing, the servants followed.

"Children, this will be your home from now on. Don't be restrained. She said to the remaining nine children, calling them by name one by one, and giving them the little servants prepared by the housekeeper one by one, and then showing them the house.

"What do you think of her?" King Kong and Sima walked last, and King Kong asked in a low voice.

"It's too short to see it." Sima replied in a low voice.

"Aren't you the smartest? Not a single woman can see what is good to blow. King Kong snorted.

Sima was not annoyed either. Instead, giggle.

"This woman is very powerful." He said.

King Kong cut his voice disdainfully, and was about to say something when he heard a commotion over there, and then saw two and a half children roll out from the side.

Rolling out of the scuffle, to be exact. After two rolls, one presses the other underneath.

"Convincing or not?" Dressed in a blue and purple robe, the handsome seven or eight-year-old child pinched a child below and shouted.

"Not convinced." The child below was obviously older than him, staring and shouting, raising his hand to fight indiscriminately, and soon turned defeat into victory.

"The boat, the iron spoon, it's itchy again, isn't it?" Liu Meibao, who had already walked over, saw it, turned around and raised her eyebrows and shouted.

The iron spoon raised his hand and gave Lu Fang a head on it, Lu Fang covered his head, and the iron spoon took the opportunity to pull out his feet and run away.

"Stinky Rippie! You're still running! Lu Fang immediately chased after him.

Liu Meibao shouted in the back, and the two of them didn't seem to hear it, until they called over and saw your brother, and the two of them turned around and came back.

At that time, King Kong and the others went to put on linen and filial piety for Xie Siniang as soon as they came, and later guarded the seven in Yanchi Beach, although they had met Lu Fang, they did not have much contact.

Lu Fang and Iron Spoon looked at them, and King Kong and they were also looking at them.

Liu Meibao gave them a brief introduction, and when she heard that Lu Yan was back, she told them to play by themselves.

"My name is Lu Fang, you can call me Xiaozhou." Lu Fang said briskly.

"My name is Iron Spoon, you... Just call me an iron spoon. The iron spoon followed.

Sima couldn't help but laugh.

"You are....Second Young Master?" He asked Iron Spoon, tentatively.

"What Second Young Master, they call me Young Master Tie." Iron Spoon said.

Sima sighed, a little surprised.

"Hey, don't stand stupidly here, there's a martial arts training ground in the backyard, let's go to war?" Lu Fang greeted.

Everyone is generally old, although they are a little rusty, but they are still tempted.

Soon, under the encouragement of the iron spoon, everyone ran to the backyard together.

"What do you think? Is the young master of this family evil? King Kong, who walked at the end, was busy with Sima on the side.

"The time is short," Sima said.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by King Kong.

"Gotta gotcha," he glared, "I think you just don't want to go." ”

"Brother, why are we leaving?" Sima looked at him and said, "The godmother said that she wants us to recognize our uncles and aunts and respect them, but now that the godmother is gone, do you have to forget these words?" ”

King Kong bowed his head and said nothing.

"Godmother doesn't dislike us, but others don't necessarily dislike us." He said again, his voice muffled, "We are from a poor and smelly background, how can they tolerate us in a family of high-ranking officials and noblewomen..."

"So, it's still a short time." Sima stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "After a long time, if you are famous and pretending to be good, it is only for a while, when the time comes, it is not too late for us to leave, this is not against the life of the godmother, and the godmother will definitely not blame us, if we go like this now, people will only say that we don't know what to do, and the godmother will not be blind." ”

Here, Liu Meibao helped Lu Yan untie his cloak.

"How are they? Can you get used to it? Lu Yan asked.

"I just came, how can I get used to it, I'm very fine, give me a sycophant." Liu Meibao said with a smile, "Take your time, these children are all from a bitter background, and they can best recognize people's hearts, so don't worry, as long as we treat each other sincerely, they will definitely feel at ease." ”

Lu Yan nodded and hugged her in his arms.

In the end, Xie En's excerpt was written and reported according to Wang Mo's meaning, and it was really as Wang Mo guessed, the emperor was very happy to see it, but some people were a little unhappy.

When the emperor happily summoned the prince and asked him to order the household department to allocate the money and goods that Lu Yan had asked for, the prince's already calm face stretched even longer.
