Liu Yong was taken away by the officials, and he suddenly fermented in Nanxun Town, and many people sweated for him.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the silk line, he heard the officials standing at the door beating gongs and firecrackers.

When the neighbors heard the sound of gongs and drums, they all came to see the excitement, and Liu Yong stood in the middle of the team in a daze, not knowing what was going on.

I saw the head of the government put a piece of red silk on Liu Yong's body, beat gongs and drums and hugged Liu Yong on the boat. Then he beat gongs and drums on the boat, and sailed out of Nanxun Town to Gui'an County.

After leaving the town, the sound of gongs and drums stopped. Liu Yong looked at this situation, and it didn't look like he was detaining himself. He boldly asked: Poor master, what the hell is going on?

The head of the government arched his hand and said: Boss Liu, it's a good thing! It's a good thing! You'll know when you get to the county office.

Liu Yong took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the hand of the head of the government, and pleaded: Don't sell Guanzi, I'm timid, and my heart is not steady.

The head of the government said with a smile: I heard that the political envoy Lord Chen reported to the imperial court, saying that you generously donated 20,000 taels of silver to help the imperial court fight against the 'spear', and the imperial court specially issued a decree to commend you, and the county government Lord Li is waiting to discuss with you the matter of receiving the decree of gratitude.

As soon as Liu Yong heard this, a hanging heart fell to the ground. He had already known that he had donated the 20,000 taels of silver, and now he had finally confirmed it.

When he arrived at the Gui'an County Ya, Lord Li of the county said to Liu Yong with a smile: Congratulations! You donated 20,000 to the Imperial Court to resist the Taiping Army, and now the Taiping Army has been completely wiped out. The imperial court issued a decree to commend the meritorious heroes of the people. The political envoy Chen reported to the imperial court, explaining that Liu Yong's loyalty to the imperial court was commendable, and he invested 20,000 taels to fund the imperial court to fight against the Taiping army. In recognition of Mrs. Liu's good teaching of her son, she was crowned as a five-grade edict.

Liu Yong waved his hands at Master Li. Said: Xie Huangen, Lord Xie Li, Lord Xie Chen is so loving.

Liu Yong knew in his heart that for a businessman, it was a great honor for the court to be rewarded.

After arranging the promulgation of the decree, Lord Li sent officials to beat gongs and drums to send Liu Yong back to Nanxun Town, and the news had already spread throughout Nanxun Town, and when Liu Yong came back, there were people on both sides of the strait who stopped to watch.

Liu Yongniang took Xiaoju, Dongmei, and Qiumei to the door of the house, and when she saw that her son was sent back by the gongs and drums, she hurriedly asked: Ah Yong, what the hell is going on?

Liu Yongxi said: Mom, big joy, come with me.

Liu Yong helped his mother into the inner hall and let his mother sit in the hall, Liu Yong knelt in front of his mother's seat, kowtowed three times, and said: My son said hello to my mother, my mother, the court will come to the Liu family in the near future to issue an edict and canonize you as the five-grade decree, and you will be the wife of the decree in the future.

Liu Yongniang was a little surprised and didn't believe it, she said: My mother really can't understand, how can she fall from the sky for no reason?

Liu Yong explained: It was my son who did something for the court, and the court thought that I had done a good job, so I wanted to reward you for teaching your son well.

Liu Yongniang was so happy that she was at a loss, and said: I am the first time to be this Mrs. Command, and I don't know how to be it?

Liu Yong said with a smile: You have to remember that in the future, you will have a five-grade grade, and the magistrate will have to pay homage when he sees you, and you don't have to kneel down to him anymore, just stand up straight and accept the salute.

Dongmei and Qiumei also happily kowtowed to their grandmother, and Xiaoju also kowtowed to her aunt. After learning the news, silk buddies, relatives and friends also came to Liu's house to congratulate her.

The Liu family was busy for a few days, and on the day of receiving the decree, Liu Heng wore red and hung colors outside the gate of the silk line, and everyone stood at the gate to greet the decree.

At noon, Qin sent into Nanxun, Liu Gong, who was looking outside the town, hurriedly ran back to Liu's house to report, Liu Yong helped his mother out in costume, Liu Yongniang said nervously: Ah Yong, I am really a little nervous, and my hands are trembling.

In fact, Liu Yong was also very nervous, but he comforted his mother and said: Don't be nervous, Mom, we have practiced the etiquette of receiving orders many times, and we will definitely not make mistakes.

Liu Yongniang said: But as soon as I was nervous, I forgot everything.

Liu Yongdao: Okay, when you look at me, I will remind you.

The edict came to the door of the silk shop, and Liu Yong hurriedly invited them in.

Liu Yong and his mother led the whole family to kneel in front of the hall to listen to the announcement.

Qin Cha took out the holy decree: The emperor has a decree: Mrs. Liu of the Wang family will be appointed Mrs. Liu.

Liu Yong and his mother said in unison: Leader, thank Huangen.

After getting up after finishing, Liu Yong stuffed the silver tickets that had been prepared for Qin Cha, and invited them to the living room to have refreshments, delicious food and drink, and presented gifts to each of them, and then sent them away.

After the decree was sent away, the Liu family was boiling, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate the old woman.

Liu Yongniang has never been so glorious in her life, and she has never closed her mouth for a moment when she grinned.

Aunt Liu Yong said happily: Sister-in-law, I said a long time ago, our Ah Yong has a future, and your blessing is behind.

Liu Yongniang said happily: I'm not saying that my son with dysentery is good, I boast about my son, when I was pregnant with Ah Yong, I dreamed of a vision, and the fortune teller also told me that Ah Yong is promising. Now he has earned this life for me, which is also the accumulation of virtue by my ancestors, and I am satisfied in this life.

Xiao Ju Niang said: If my brother is still alive, I don't know how happy he is.

Liu Yongniang sighed: Yes, I only blame myself for not having that blessing in my life, who is to blame? and that Hong Ying, who is also unlucky, let go of the glory and wealth, and ran away.

Xiao Ju Niang continued: If it is peaceful today, and the house is about to be built, then everyone, no housewife is not the same, and it is time to consider giving Ah Yong another daughter-in-law.

Liu Yongniang nodded and said: I'm also thinking about this in my heart, seeing that Dongmei and Qiumei are going out, I can't marry without my mother when the time comes, right? What kind of system does that become? If there is no mother in her mother's house, she will be looked down upon in her mother-in-law's house. His aunt, you also help me pay attention to what suitable girls are, no matter how high or low the family is, as long as they are good in appearance and character, we will go and ask for marriage. I am now the lady of the Five Grades, and others will always give me some face. Hee-hee.

Xiao Ju Niang smiled: That's for sure. Now that the Liu family has money and status, and Ah Yong has a future, who doesn't want to marry the girl?

Xiao Ju Niang's words flattered Liu Yongniang with a smile.

Xiao Ju Niangniang glanced at her sister-in-law, and suddenly sighed: The heart of a mother is the same in this world, and I am also so worried about Aju's marriage that I can't eat or sleep, and I don't know what kind of person her future husband is.

When Liu Yongniang heard this, she immediately realized that Ah Ju Niang had something to say, so she said directly: It's true. Ah Ju is also 25 years old, an old girl. Ah Ju is also smart and neat, if she and Ah Yong are married, cousins, know the roots, but a good pair. If you are willing to marry Xiaoju, it would be great.

When Xiao Ju Niang heard this, she couldn't help but say: Our fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and it is naturally better to kiss and kiss. Being a daughter-in-law by my aunt's side saves the rights and wrongs of my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it is easy to get along.

Liu Yongniang said with a smile: It depends on whether the two of them are compatible.

Liu Yongniang was a talker, and the next day she called her son into the room and told her aunt all her thoughts.

Liu Yong has always regarded Xiaoju as his own sister, and he never thought of this, so he was quite surprised.

Liu Yongniang persuaded: Ah Ju lived in our house for a few years when she was young, and the two of you are also childhood sweethearts, you know each other's roots, are you better than hiring from outside? Ah Ju married into our Liu family, and your aunt can also justifiably support the elderly in the Liu family, and your father was still thinking about him as a sister when he was dying, and I was also for your father to rest assured under Jiuquan.

Liu Yongniang's words are reasonable, if you want to continue the string, Xiaoju is a suitable candidate, but Liu Yong always feels weird in his heart, he replied: Mom, it's not that Xiaoju has anything wrong, it's just that Liu Ling entrusted me some time ago, if I marry Aju, it seems that I rob his daughter-in-law, how will the two get along in the future? Liu Ling is also our Liu family, and also your nephew, his family was poor a few years ago, and it has been good in the past few years, you can't watch your nephew fight for a lifetime, right?

Liu Yongniang said: Your words are also reasonable, but I have already negotiated with your aunt, how do you tell me to go back to her?

Liu Yongdao: That's not simple, just say that the 'eight characters' don't match, it's over. In the past few years, there were many children in the town who were delayed by the war, and they were in a hurry to say goodbye recently.
