Chapter 143: Bestow the title of county lord
The haze that has been hanging over the city for months has finally been lifted, and this time it has been greatly damaged by the heavy snow and epidemic, and the so-called mastermind behind it has no clue.
Xiao Yu'an recuperated in a neighboring county for five days, and after his body almost recovered, he was sent back to the capital.
But unfortunately, he did not wake up, only the wound that slowly crusted and molted and the steady breathing proved that he was still intact.
The old man asked him to say more words, or the most impressive conversations ever, to evoke the scene in his mind, so that he could feel that he was in a coma and wake up.
Therefore, every day Gu Wanchao went to the shelter to help during the day, visited Xiao Yu'an in the Xiao Mansion at night, and then returned to the mansion later, after all, she was a boudoir woman, and she couldn't cause gossip.
Time passed suddenly, and it was the day when the emperor agreed to reward meritorious deeds.
Gu Wanchao was reluctant to go, whether it was to help repair the house, boil medicine and deliver medicine, or accompany Xiao Yu'an to talk, it was more useful than entering the palace.
However, she is the protagonist today, the person who is rewarded by the emperor for meritorious deeds.
Because she is a member of the Gu family, the emperor still has a conscience, summoning Gu traitors into the palace, presumably the ban will be lifted, and now Gu Wanchao will also be able to show off in front of Gu traitors.
Due to the fact that there were so many places to be repaired after the disaster, the emperor did not set up a luxurious banquet, except for providing food, which was no different from the ministers in the court on weekdays.
"Where is Gu Wanchao?" After solving the two major problems of snow disaster and epidemic, the emperor's mood gradually cleared, and even his eyes became much clearer, and the stone that had been pressed in his heart for many days fell to the ground.
"The courtier, Gu Wanchao, knocked to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Flat."
"You have made a great contribution to the treatment of the epidemic this time, you are worthy of being a girl of the Gu family, a hero is a young man."
The emperor first praised Gu Wanchao, the Gu family is not only powerful, but the reserve children are even more excellent, Gu Fu'an still heard the meaning of beating below, and quietly wiped a sweat for this unconscious granddaughter.
"Say, whatever reward you want, I will satisfy you."
"Back to the emperor." Gu Wanchao thought of Xiao Yu'an, who was still unconscious on the bed, and remembered the tip of the sword with a cold glow on his back that day, and knelt down and said: "If it weren't for Lord Xiao's courtiers who had already died in Huangquan this time, they would have been able to obtain medicinal materials thanks to Lord Xiao's sacrifice of their lives to save them, and the courtiers would not dare to be greedy." ”
Everyone knows who Lord Xiao is in her mouth, and when she learned the news, she secretly admired the courage of this son in her heart, if she couldn't wake up, it would be fine, if she could wake up, I was afraid that she would be a person who could protect the Xiao family for a hundred years.
Many people have already thought of this level, but it is unknown whether there is anyone who activates their minds and makes actions.
"I have already heard that Xiao Xiaoaiqing is very brave, so he should naturally be rewarded, but he has other affairs on him, and there will be a more generous reward after it is resolved."
After listening, Gu Wanchao couldn't say anything more, otherwise she would have to make inches, and she didn't know what to do, not to mention that Gu Traitor gave her several glances on the side.
"Thunder, rain and dew are all blessings, but the emperor is in charge of rewards."
"I will give you the position of the lord of the county, the title of tranquility, and hope that my country will be peaceful and disaster-free from now on, and give the fief of the whole county, in addition, one hundred taels of gold, and one hundred horses of silk brocade."
It sounds good, but it's just a piece of advice to the Gu family, although the county is located in a remote location, but the economic development is not bad, and having its own territory is the most happy.
More than a month has passed, Xiao Yuan still has no signs of waking up, he can only eat some liquid food every day, and his already thin body has lost a lot of weight, which makes people feel distressed to look at.
It was a few more times when the east rose and the west fell, and it was the day when Gu Wanyin gave birth.
Gu Wanchao has been busy with the things in the shelter these days, and he remembered that he hadn't seen Gu Wanyin for a long time, so he happened to take this opportunity to put down the things at hand and go to Zhang's Mansion to visit Gu Wanyin.
Due to the long delay in preparing the gifts, when Gu Wanchao arrived, he could only hear Gu Wanyin's scream, and saw Zhang Ziyang pacing back and forth outside the door, looking anxious.
I even wanted to rush in to take a look, but I was stopped by the grandmother who was guarding the door, saying that the man was too yang and would collide, which was not good for production, so I gave up.
"The evening dynasty is coming, you see that the evening screams so painfully, these people won't even let me in."
Zhang Ziyang, who turned his head and saw Gu Wanchao, seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and only dragged Gu Wanchao to let her comment.
Gu Wanchao was helpless, and suddenly remembered that when he entered the mansion, the subordinate was moving books inside, and asked the little guy next to him who was leading the way, only to know that it was Zhang Ziyang who was going to the imperial examination, and at that moment, in order to relieve his nervousness, he asked directly.
"I heard that the people in your house said that they were going to the imperial examination."
Sure enough, when he heard this, Zhang Ziyang's nervousness was a little less, but his face was a little embarrassed.
"How can this group of people say everything." As he spoke, he scratched his head with one hand and stammered slightly: "It's not that I don't think I have a good job now, and I can't let Wanyin down after all." ”
"What's more, the child will be born soon, and she can't think that her father has achieved nothing in the future."
"In case, I mean, if you make some achievements, it would be the best if you could ask for a life for the night."
The further back he went, the quieter his voice became, but Gu Wanchao could also understand what he meant, so he was naturally supportive.
The two chatted for a while, and when Zhang Ziyang was about to ask her how she was with Xiao Yu'an, a loud baby cry interrupted the conversation between the two.
Zhang Ziyang instantly put the words he was about to ask behind him, was stunned for a while, and then went straight to Gu Wanyin in the delivery room.
I didn't hear the midwife's "Congratulations to the son, it's for the little son." ”
It was still Gu Wanchao who was on the side to deal with the aftermath and rewarded a lot of silver, and he was also happy for Gu Wanyin from the bottom of his heart.
After Gu Wanyin's greetings, considering that she had just given birth and was weak, she left Zhang's mansion, and she didn't know where to go for a while, and decided to visit Xiao Yu'an after wandering the streets.
After going to visit the shelter before, he was physically tired every day, and he didn't observe Xiao Yu's place well.
Now that I go again, I already have a different perception, "Why don't there be any female dependents in the house?" ”
Thinking that Xiao Yu'an's wound recovery was slow, and blood would seep every time he took medicine, it must be the reason why there was no careful female family to serve him.
Lin Ya saw that Gu Wanchao came early today, so she had been following her, and suddenly heard these words and silently bowed in her heart, Miss Gu finally found something different, and immediately pretended to be sad and spoke.
"Alas, we also advise Gongzi to at least keep a maid to take care of his daily life, who wants him to use no one, even the people who serve him close are men."
