"Glory Ancestor?"

The aunt didn't react for a while, and said that the title of the Nian'er Gold List had to be a month later, and when her nephew showed a stinky expression, she realized that her nephew was bragging.

The aunt rolled her beautiful eyes and pouted: "Yo Yo Yo, our eldest man has been added to the knighthood, right?" ”

As soon as you open your mouth, you know that it is an old yin and yang person.

"I heard from my neighbors that only those who read can be in the temple. You, no matter how you are promoted, you are just a watchman. ”

Although the aunt gradually untied the knot and was not as resentful as before, on the topic of "who is more promising, nephew or son", the aunt felt that she had to stick to her principles.

She is not like her husband Xu Pingzhi, her sons and nephews are all cubs of the Xu family, and they have been raised in the family for 20 years, no different from her own son.

The aunt couldn't get used to Xu Qi'an's posture of showing off her martial arts, and she snorted in front of her from time to time, not respecting her as an aunt at all.

Therefore, Erlang must be better than Dalang, so that the aunt can straighten up in front of her nephew.

"Auntie doesn't believe it?" Xu Qi'an squinted.

"I believe it, it's just a promotion. Auntie said nonchalantly.

A while ago, Second Uncle Xu was also promoted, transferred from the outer city to the inner city, and had a fixed patrol area. That area is full of wealthy families, and for the sake of the peace of their homes, they will spend money to honor the guards in charge of the surrounding swordsmen and build good relationships.

Therefore, the second uncle has a lot of private money recently, and he has been confiscated fifty taels of silver, and he still has silver to go to the teaching department to play.

Of course, Second Uncle Xu never took the initiative to go to the Teaching Division, after all, the girl and aunt in the Teaching Division were too far apart, but whenever he spent the night in the Teaching Division, it was because of the entertainment between colleagues.

On the contrary, when Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang reached the age of Shen Gongbao and had never married a wife, they would take the initiative to go to the Teaching Department to relieve the pressure.

"It's not a promotion, it's a knighthood!" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"Puff ......" Auntie was amused, the flowers trembled, and she was charming.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. Second Uncle Xu waved his hand and said angrily: "Second Uncle, I killed the enemy in Shanhaiguan back then, from the south to the north, from the north to the south, and the killing was covered in blood, just like this, it is still a little short of being knighted." ”

Kill from the south to the north, from the north to the south, second uncle, don't your arms be sore....... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart.

Xu Xinnian shook his head, "The knighthood is very important, and the last time Dafeng was knighted was the Battle of Shanhaiguan twenty years ago. Now that the four seas are peaceful, where did you get the title of knight. ”

"A knighthood doesn't have to be a battle achievement. Xu Qi'an touched Xiaodouding's brain: "Isn't that right, Lingyin." ”

Xiao Douding ignored him, his small mouth was against the edge of the bowl, and he drank porridge slowly.

"Okay, okay, don't you know how many pounds and taels your aunt has. The aunt sneered: "If you don't stop bathing today, hurry up and go to the yamen, the time is almost over, don't delay your second uncle."

"The matter of the glorious lintel, don't worry about it, Dalang, after the spring of this year, our Xu family will have a jinshi. When the time comes, a feast will be held at home, and the clansmen will be invited to come over for a meal. ”

The spring season has not yet begun, and the aunt is already proud.

Ma De, this is the beginning I want, the second uncle is eccentric, the aunt is mean, the cousin is a scholar but suppresses me everywhere, one sister looks down on me, and the other sister robs me of food........ Then, the god of war returned, was knighted strongly, and drove his uncle's family to live in a kennel....... Xu Qi'an thought about it and felt quite cool.

Second Uncle Xu picked up his helmet again and nodded: "It's not too early, I have to rush to Yingmao." ”

He automatically ignored the matter of the knighthood, and treated it as a joke for his nephew.

If the Xu family can produce a nobleman, it will really be smoke from the ancestral tomb, even if the title of Erlang Gold List, Jinshi and No. 1, it may be comparable to Dalang.

At this moment, Xu Pingzhi saw the porter Lao Zhang rushing in a hurry, with a panicked expression, as if there was a big insect chasing after him.

"Old old ......."

The porter Lao Zhang stammered and said excitedly: "There is a holy decree!"

"Holy what?" Xu Pingzhi didn't hear clearly.

"Divine decree. ”

"What purpose?" Xu Erlang didn't hear clearly.

"The Holy Decree, the Holy Decree of the Knights. ”

Xu Qi'an glanced at the aunt with a dull gaze, and pushed the second uncle out: "Your Majesty's holy decree is here." ”

Yesterday, when Concubine Fu's case ended, Wei Yuan told him that the cabinet had prepared the holy decree of knighthood, which was set for today.

Xu Pingzhi walked from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, as if he had gone through most of his life, and his mood at the moment was very complicated, worried, excited, hesitant, and afraid...... He'd experienced something similar once, and that was on his wedding night.

In the distance, I saw a eunuch in a python robe standing in the courtyard, and a column of armored guards stood on both sides.

The eunuch held in his hand a scroll of yellow silk decrees embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

Bang bang bang......

Xu Pingzhi heard his own drum-like heartbeat.

Seeing the main lord coming, the eunuch who delivered the decree slowly unfolded the decree and said loudly: "The gong Xu Qi'an receives the decree." ”

The second uncle took the lead in kneeling, and then pulled Xu Qi'an to kneel together.

Second Uncle Xu glared at his nephew vigorously, and at the moment of the holy decree, this kid was still kneeling reluctantly.

"The gong Xu Qi'an is here. ”

The eunuch bowed his head and said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, I only rule the world with civil affairs, chaos with force, and the army commander Rong will be the pillar of the imperial court, and the dry city of the country is also ........ Xu Qi'an even solved a strange case and killed 200 rebels in Yunzhou......."

Hearing that he had killed 200 rebels, Xu Qi'an was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart I killed thousands of enemies, how did I become 200 people?

Then, it suddenly dawned on me that it was too much, and I believed it all.

“....... Xu Qi'an was specially named the son of Changle County, and he was given 30 tilts of good land and 500 taels of gold. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Xu Qi'an shouted a slogan and got up to accept the order.

"Congratulations, Lord Xu........ Oh, it's Xu Xianzi. The python-robed eunuch said with a smile.

"Thank you, father-in-law. ”

Xu Qi'an took the holy decree and handed over a hundred taels of silver tickets.

Waiting for the python-robed eunuch to stay with the guards, Second Uncle Xu snatched the holy decree with his hand, and read it repeatedly for a long time, obviously he didn't know a few big characters, but he read it seriously.

Looking at it, Second Uncle Xu's eyes turned red.

"Knighted, knighted...... My Xu family has a viscount. ”

He ran back to the backyard with the holy decree in his hand and shouted, "Madam, quickly write a letter to the Xu clan, the Xu family has a viscount." I'm going to put on a feast for three days and three nights, hahahahahaha......"

Xu Qi'an picked up a box of gold and land deeds given by Emperor Yuanjing, and went back to the room secretly.

The second uncle is stupid, how can the holy decree be as important as gold.

...........

Depositing the gold into the fragment of the book from the ground, Xu Qi'an returned to the inner courtyard and saw Second Uncle Xu and Erlang robbing the holy decree. Father and son almost fought.

Xu Erlang said unhappily: "I don't know, I still think that the holy decree is for your father." ”

Second Uncle Xu: "Get out!"

Xu Erlang said slightly angrily: "I just want to see how the holy decree is written." ”

Second Uncle Xu: "Get out!"

Xu Erlang said angrily: "Dad, give me the holy decree." ”

Second Uncle Xu: "Get out." ”

Phew, vulgar Takeo....... Xu Erlang brushed his sleeves and went back to the study to read.

What is the viscount, he wants the title of the gold list, and he wants to be a champion. Otherwise, the limelight in the family will be stolen by the eldest brother.

"Really, really knighted?"

The aunt looked at the holy decree in her husband's arms, and Kazlan's eyes widened, and her mind had not yet turned, as if she was living in a dream.

There was no mental preparation at all.

"This is still false, there is a jade seal on it, and His Majesty also gave five hundred taels of gold and thirty poured of fertile land. Xu Pingzhi said loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not believe him.

Five hundred taels of gold, thirty pours of fertile land...... A golden glint flashed in her aunt's eyes.

"Da Lang, is this true? Auntie grabbed Xu Qi'an's hand.

Xu Qi'an shook it off and said lightly: "This lady, don't be close, call me Lord Viscount." ”

Xu Lingyue looked at her eldest brother with admiration.

After finishing her aunt, Xu Qi'an put his hand into his arms, took out the field deed and slapped it on the table, and said: "I put away the gold myself, as for the thirty good fields, auntie, I have not married a wife and started a family, so I will be troubled........ Lingyue helped the eldest brother take care of it. ”

The aunt's half-outstretched hand froze, she couldn't do anything with Xu Qi'an, and stomped her feet and said, "Xu Pingzhi ......."

The aunt had no choice but to punch her husband hard.

Second Uncle Xu said "heh", "Ning Yan is joking with you, but Lingyue doesn't understand this." ”

Xu Lingyue said softly: "Dad, I have studied for a few years and I also know arithmetic. ”

Moreover, the management of the fields is usually for the trusted subordinates of the government to run errands outside, and the owner only needs to take care of the accounts.

My aunt suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Her former imaginary enemy was the daughter-in-law of Da Lang and Erlang, but now she found out that Xu Lingyue, a dead girl, actually rebelled and wanted to fight for power with her, a mother.

"Mother, why are you looking at me like this. Xu Lingyue felt that her mother's eyes were burning and pressing.

"I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at the white-eyed wolf. ”

"......" Xu Lingyue.

............

Speaking of the building of the Stargazing Tower, people in the capital and even in Dafeng have an impression of it with nothing more than two words: high!

In the eyes of the people of the rivers and lakes, in addition to towering into the clouds, the stargazing tower is also a forbidden place for Dafeng, because there is the only first-class powerhouse of the dynasty living here.

Few people think about what kind of place is underneath the stargazing tower.

Zazaza......

In the darkness of the ground, the iron gate slowly rises, and a winding stone staircase stretches to the ground, and every ten steps, there is an oil lamp on the wall, emitting a dim light.

Da Da Da ..... In the silent air, there was a clear sound of footsteps.

The sound of footsteps gradually became clear, and a black shadow walked up the steps from the ground.

The black shadow wore her hair loose and her cheeks, and she was dressed in a simple linen robe, barefoot, and her chest occasionally protruded as she walked, making people realize that she was a woman.

And it's a woman with a ravine.

"I'm still a little short of a fourth-rank array master, how did the teacher wake me up........" The dark shadow muttered to himself.

She glanced up, and at the end of the steps, countless rays of light poured down from the door, it was the sun that had not been seen for a long time.

Stepping out of the iron door, the black shadow stood in the silent hall, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and embraced the sun.

She hasn't been born for five years, and she has been suppressed by the supervisor at the bottom of the stargazing building.

Passing through the corridor on the first floor, the woman with a cloak climbed the stairs to the second floor, and swooped...... Footsteps came overhead, and a white-clad warlock stepped down with a tray with bottles and cans in it.

The two took a face-to-face.

The white-clothed warlock froze, and his face turned a little pale, as if he had seen something terrible.

After about three or four seconds, the white-clad warlock turned around and fled in panic.

Out of kindness, the woman with her cloak hurriedly reminded: "Senior brother, slow down, slide carefully." ”

As soon as the words fell, the soles of the white-clothed warlock's feet suddenly slipped, and he rolled down with a grunt, knocking the woman down by the way, and the two rolled down the stairs with a grunt.

Bang bang.......

The bottles and cans in the tray were shattered, and the colorful dust and mist were filled.

"Help, help...... white-clothed warlock's face swelled with blood, gradually turning blue-black, he pinched his neck, and said with difficulty:

"This, this is, Senior Brother Song Qing, refining, refining poison........"

The woman covered her neck and said with difficulty, "Senior sister didn't bring an antidote." ”

"The antidote is inside....... the white-clad warlock seemed to be unable to move, his eyes fixed on a broken porcelain bottle, staring at the powder on the ground.

With the help of the woman, the white-clothed warlock took the antidote, climbed downstairs, came to the lobby on the first floor, and shouted to the white-clothed warlocks who were boiling and refining medicine:

"Senior Sister Zhong is out of the customs!!"

Bang dang...... The porcelain vases, spoons and other utensils in the hands of the white-clothed sorcerers fell to the ground.

They twisted their necks stiffly, their faces glazed over.

The woman with the cloak continued to climb the stairs, passing by the seventh floor, where the alchemy room on the seventh floor exploded with a "boom", the floor and walls shook, and the ashes fell off.

"Why did it blow up? ! !" Song Qing's angry roar came.

The woman ignored it, continued to climb the stairs, and finally came to the top of the stargazing building, the gossip platform.

Dressed in white and white-bearded, the fairy-winded supervisor sat cross-legged behind the desk, pinching the wine glass, looking into the distance and stunned.

"Teacher. ”

The woman shouted respectfully, her eyes falling on the wine and food on the table.

"Zhong Li, your opportunity to be promoted to the fourth rank has arrived. The supervisor said leisurely.

The woman's body trembled, and she raised her head slightly, revealing her snow-white and pointed chin.

..........

Dafeng's heterosexual titles are divided into five classes: duke, hou, uncle, son, and male. Each rank is divided into five grades (grades).

Xu Qi'an's full title is "third-class Changle County".

This is a title that is more than enough than the top, and there is no real power, just an extra month.

However, the meaning of the title is not in power, but in the glory and social status it symbolizes.

No, such power is only temporary, and the symbol of the real eternal commoners and the aristocratic class is a hereditary title.

Of course, Xu Qi'an's title cannot be hereditary, but at least for one day, the Xu family will be a noble, no longer a commoner.

In the future, if the son of Changle County marries a civilian woman as his wife, he will be impeached in the middle of the matter. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military will say: Is the princess not fragrant, or the county lord is not beautiful?

He married a commoner woman.

In short, for the first time in hundreds of years, the Xu family had a viscount, completely got rid of the people's households, and became a nobleman.

For Xu Pingzhi, the head of the family, it is probably the brightest moment in his life. On the same day, he took Xu Qi'an to the ancestral grave to offer incense.

After returning, I plan to send out invitations, hold a banquet, and invite relatives and friends to come to the house to drink and celebrate.

But the aunt felt that it was inappropriate and said, "The day after tomorrow is the spring festival, which will affect Erlang's study." ”

Yes, the day after tomorrow is the spring season, the top priority of the fish leaping over the dragon gate, and a big banquet at home will definitely affect Erlang's study. Xu Pingzhi felt that what his wife said made sense, so he asked Xu Erlang to move to the old house in the outer city, study hard, and the banquet remained the same.

Xu Lingyin thinks it's amazing.

Xu Erlang scolded and withdrew from the live broadcast room, took a subordinate and a maid, and went back to the old house in a hurry.

When Shangxiang came back, Xu Qi'an generously allocated seventy taels of silver as the funds for tomorrow's banquet.

Seventy taels is already a lot, it is the savings of ordinary and honest people who have not eaten or drunk for three years, it is the prostitution of Goulan for two years, and it is Xu Qi'an's current salary for one year.

"I've come back like this, I haven't been to Master Hengyuan's health hall yet, I have to send some money to help widows and lonely ......."

Xu Qi'an took out five coins of silver from the square head cabinet, planning to go to the low-cost prostitution of Hengyuan's body refining exercises.

Suddenly, sitting on the edge of the bed, the deep and ethereal voice of the monk Shenshu sounded in his mind: "Leave the capital." ”

Leaving the capital?!

What do you mean..... Xu Qi'an's expression was serious, and the Shenshu monk never took the initiative to communicate with him, and slept silently in his body.

Now let him leave the capital.

Is something going to happen to the capital, or am I going to have an accident?

In the flickering of all these thoughts, he saw a gray world in front of him, the misty gray spreading, and a dilapidated temple appeared, and at the entrance of the temple sat a delicate-eyed Master Shenjush.

This monk of mysterious origin, meditated with his hands folded, his brown eyes looked at him gently, and his voice was ethereal: "Leave the capital." ”

........
