Volume 2 The Trip to Nanhuai Chapter 124 Gift-giving

"Master Yi, congratulations."

"Lord Yi, please take care of it in the future."

"Lord Yi, a small gift, it's not a tribute."

In front of a large courtyard, there is an endless stream of guests coming and going to congratulate each other. Because of the early dynasty and the Nanhuai incident, Yi Xiaodao was promoted to privy councillor by Zhao Yizhi, and rewarded a large courtyard and ten domestic servants, five maidservants, and a thousand taels of gold. As for Huang Bai, Zhao Yizhi has long forgotten everything, if it weren't for Zhou Ziru, I'm afraid he would have been put in prison long ago.

Although this is a secret dispatch, what Yi Xiaodao did in Nanhuai is basically known to everyone, and Li Dingxing played it again and pushed Yi Xiaodao.

When the official was sealed, no one objected.

Yi Xiaodao stood at the gate, his face full of spring breeze, and he smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, Master Li, we are happy and happy." ”

"Master Zhang, please mention more in the future."

"Lord Wang is too polite, and the courtesy is heavy!"

Most of the people who came to congratulate were small officials who were also five or six grades, and occasionally a third-grade senior official came, and Yi Xiaodao was invited into the mansion like an offering to the Buddha.

"Lord Yi, I don't know that you are going to Nanhuai this time, alas, I heard that it is to solve the dispute over the mine and to ask for tribute, it is really difficult for you, the court will remember it~" A third-grade official held up a big belly and said to Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao nodded: "I still have to rely on the adults to give me a lot of guidance, please do the adults." ”

"Ah, it's exempt, the official is busy with official business, so he won't go in, good fortune, gifts left!" "Big belly," he said, turning to his servant.

A slave stepped forward and put down a potted plant.

"Your Majesty really has the foresight to appreciate such a good courtyard. This bonsai is very valuable, but remember to pick a good location in the house. The big belly said to Yi Xiaodao with his stomach held up.

"Definitely, definitely!"

Yi Xiaodao only nodded, and a big hand slapped him on the shoulder: "Okay, you Yi Xiaodao, you will become a fifth grade so soon!" ”

Yi Xiaodao was unhappy in his heart, and when he looked up, the person who came was Xie Weifeng, the head of the Yin Mengwei Guard.

"Brother Xie, why are you here!" When Yi Xiaodao saw Xie Weifeng, he was immediately overjoyed, on the official road in Wucheng, if Xie Weifeng hadn't led his troops to arrive in time, I am afraid that the graves of the three of them would have been trampled on at this time. Later, the three returned to Nanhuai, and it was Xie Weifeng who returned to Nanhuai, which brought the three back to the capital.

Although Xie Weifeng has always acted according to orders, in Yi Xiaodao's heart, he is still indescribably grateful and close to this big brother.

"What are you talking about? Why can't I come? You kid moved to a new house again, and he was promoted to make a fortune, can't you let me be happy? Xie Weifeng, a fierce man, pretended to be unhappy.

"Then you're welcome! Brother Xie for saving his life, I don't know how to repay it! ”

"What's in return? If I hadn't stirred up the situation, you and Miss He's children would have become a beautiful thing a long time ago, and I really came here with a beautiful face today! You accept this golden pixiu, I have already seen it, there is no problem with your kid's promotion, I wish you kid a fortune as soon as possible! ”

The subordinate on the side handed over a tray with a red cloth on it, Xie Weifeng lifted the curtain, and a palm-sized Pixiu was lying on the tray, opening his teeth and dancing his claws, lifelike.

"Big belly" was stunned on the side, I thought it was a lucky boy who met a dead mouse, but I didn't expect to have such a deep friendship with Xie Weifeng of Yin Mengwei?

Another person came on horseback, came to the courtyard of Yi Xiaodao, turned over and dismounted, his movements were a little immature, but no one dared to laugh at him, because this person was wearing armor and was obviously a general.

Because when he was in Poyang Lake, Zhou Ziru almost took away all the generals of the Great Qi War, and everyone wanted to make a war exploit, but they were disturbed by Yi Xiaodao, so that there was no military general to visit in Hexi today, which also made this general particularly eye-catching.

"Yi Xiaodao, you're back." The general smiled a little shyly, not looking like a general.

"The general is?" Yi Xiaodao looked at the person who came, and he didn't remember who this was.

The person smiled and said, "I'm Wang Qing, have you forgotten?" At the beginning, Miss Lian'er thought you were dead, so she came to the south gate in a panic, and blocked Mr. Wu and the fourth prince by mistake..."Wang Qing reminded her eloquently.

Yi Xiaodao suddenly realized: "Ah, I remember, you are the city guard Wang Qing!" This is all the general of the South Gate! Yi Xiaodao saw another old man, and his heart was happy.

"How can I have the ability to be a general, if it weren't for Xianglian'er to report to me, you captured the fourth prince, I am still a city guard, I have to thank you! Today, passing through here, a little heart, not respect. Wang Qing said, taking out a piece of jade jade pendant from his arms, "Listen to my uncle, this is the treasure of his store, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

Yi Xiaodao resigned again and again: "This is too precious, this can't be accepted, you became the general of the South Gate because you are loyal to your duties, this really has nothing to do with me... I can't afford that. ”

Not only is it a "big belly", but even some other officials can't help but look sideways, they all know that this jade jade pendant is the treasure of the town store of the largest entertainment store in the capital, "Ji Yaxuan". The reason why it has become the treasure of the town store is that in addition to the fine workmanship and flawlessness, it is also because this jade pendant has different reflection luster at different times. Yellow in the morning, green in the morning, gold in the afternoon, purple under the lamp, and silver under the moon. It's really beautiful.

"This Yi Xiaodao still recognizes General Nanmen? Last time, I had a batch of goods to go through the south gate, and I spent five hundred taels trying to accommodate it! ”

"That jade pendant is a treasure, I spent two thousand taels of silver last time but I didn't get it!"

"Even Yin Mengwei's Xie Weichang knows, this kid has a lot of backers, this time he is an official, I think it is this Xie Weifeng who said a lot of good things in it. In the end, it is the Twelve Heavenly Guards, and he can still speak in front of His Majesty. ”

Yi Xiaodao and Wang Qing were prevaricating, only to hear a sound of breaking the sky.

"Brush Brush Brush Brush"

Before everyone could react, there were already four more smiling young people in front of Yi Xiaodao's courtyard.

"Chen Congwei shakes the mountain, hides the clouds, the sky, and the sea. By His Majesty's will, congratulations to Lord Yi on her new marriage. ”

"Newlywed? Your Majesty's will? As soon as these words came out, the guests all stopped, suspecting that they had misheard, and asked each other what they had just said from Wei Yuan.

The four of them ignored the others, took out the gift from behind them and handed it to the subordinates in Yi Xiaodao's mansion.

"Night pearl, send the statue of Guanyin, His Majesty's handwritten inscription, royal ruby phoenix crown Xia curtain."

"This phoenix crown... But the things in the palace, this... I can't stand it..."Although Yi Xiaodao is from a poor background, he is fortunate to have a lot of knowledge, this kind of phoenix crown and xia veil, Yi Xiaodao is mixed with the people, and he has never seen it at all.

"I'm just sending gifts and letters, and I ask Lord Yi to accept it for the time being." The four of them said in unison.

Seeing that the four of them held up the gift given by Zhao Yizhi, how Yi Xiaodao dissuaded them, the four of them just didn't speak, and Yi Xiaodao had no choice but to accept the gift first. I specially instructed my family to keep it safe.

"Your Majesty has a word, on the wedding day of Lord Yi and Miss He, you should come to congratulate you in person." Shaking Shan said to Yi Xiaodao.

The rest of the officials saw Yi Xiaodao accept the gift from Zhao Yizhi, and only then did they recover from their surprise. Before he could completely recover from it, he heard that His Majesty was going to come to congratulate Yi Xiaodao in person on the day of his wedding, and he was stunned again...

Seeing the congratulatory gifts of Zhao Yizhi, Xie Weifeng, Wang Qing and others, the rest of the officials looked at the gifts in their hands again, and immediately ordered their subordinates to hurry back and move the "rescuers" again.

"Even the emperor's Chen Congwei came to congratulate, and he came four at a time. It's..."

"What Chen Congwei, that is, the emperor personally congratulated, Chen Congwei is just running errands."

"This kid is not simple, hurry back, don't ask more, bring me my three-legged golden toad."

This is not over, I saw that Yi Xiaodao ordered the servants to accept His Majesty's congratulatory gifts, and because of their familiarity with Yi Xiaodao, Zangyun and others also took out their respective congratulatory gifts from their arms at this time.

"Wait, by the way, bring the jade pig too..."

……

After a busy morning, he finally dealt with all the officials who came to congratulate, and Yi Xiaodao was so tired that he couldn't lift his hands.

He Yue'er was busy all morning, with ten servants and five maidservants, and held more than a dozen banquets, regardless of the size of the official position, and sat down when she came to congratulate.

"Big belly" sat on the table, because he was a member of the third grade, all around him were Xie Weifeng, Qingtian Jiahai and others, hearing that they were a "knife brother" and "Yi brother", "big belly" only felt like sitting on pins and needles, trembling.

In the afternoon, all the officials said goodbye and left, and the Yi Mansion was busy, and the afternoon passed like this.

"I'm tired to death..."He Yue'er lay on the railing in the court, looking at the small pond in front of her, and she didn't want to move.

Yi Xiaodao walked to He Yue'er's side, and his body also collapsed: "My second son and I didn't feel so tired when we walked from Sucheng to Poyang Lake..."

"Your Majesty really made you out of the limelight today, are you happy?"

Yi Xiaodao cried and laughed: "What's a good thing?" I just want to be honest and be a rich man, and I don't want to be in the limelight at all. What's more, Your Majesty still has a trick, give me a privy councilor, say it's not big, say it's not big, it's not big, but let me be so showy, guess why? ”

He Yue'er asked: "How do I know about a girl's family?" Why? ”

Yi Xiaodao sighed: "Your Majesty must have something else to send to me, maybe something else is more important and troublesome than this Nanhuai matter, that's why you promoted me like this." ”

"There won't be any danger, right? Last time, Xiang Lian'er told me that you were stabbed by Ling Yue Pavilion's senior sister Gao Cui, and I was really scared to death at that time. He Yue'er asked.

Yi Xiaodao turned his head to look at He Yue'er and asked, "What?" Afraid of being a widow? ”

"you! Not serious! He Yue'er glanced at Yi Xiaodao.

At this glance, Yi Xiaodaole blossomed: "Yue'er, you really look so good in everything you do!" ”

"Then why don't you hurry up and get married?" Zhao Yizhi's voice came from behind him.
