"... Marquis Yong'an was resourceful and courageous, punished evil and eradicated evil, captured the venerable Tianlong Sect, solved the Tianlong Sect's conspiracy, and led the left and right military guards to annihilate the rebels. His contribution was so great that he was specially named General Yunhui, granted the land of Qingzhou, and led Qingzhou from afar. The post of governor has overall jurisdiction over all military and government affairs in the seven counties of Qingzhou, plus food for 3,000 households! I appreciate this~!"
In front of the gate of Yunshan Villa, an old eunuch held an imperial edict and shouted in a sharp voice.
Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, as well as Ye Guozhong, Mrs. Ye, and Han Yuxi were all inexplicably surprised when they heard the imperial edict. Previously, they had only heard Li Zexuan briefly talk about the reward given by Li Er. Although they were excited at that time, they were far less excited than they are now. My heart surged when I heard the eunuch of the palace read out the imperial edict with my own ears!
Li Zexuan has really become a feudal official! And starting from today, the Li family finally has a hint of wealth!
"My lord, Li Zexuan accepts the order! Thank you!"
Li Zexuan bowed, then stepped forward to receive the imperial edict from the old eunuch.
The person who came to the palace this time was not Zhao Song, but an old eunuch whom Li Zexuan had never seen before. Li Zexuan did not show off, but said politely: "Father-in-law, please have tea inside!"
The old eunuch said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are welcome! But we should finish reading the imperial edict first!"
Li Zexuan was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses. He knew that the old eunuch should still have an imperial edict to reward his parents and daughter-in-law, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Okay! Thank you, father-in-law!"
After that, he pulled away and stood back to his original position.
Sure enough, the old eunuch took out an imperial edict from the hand of the young eunuch behind him and began to read: "Ye, the mother of Marquis Yong'an, is Shushen by nature, diligent and submissive, Yonghe and pure, gentle in nature, and virtuous in nature. , teach your children well! Immediately you will be canonized as a second-grade imperial husband!
The Han family, the wife of Yong'an Marquis, is gentle, gentle, graceful, dignified and wise, restrained and gentle, Yonghe is pure, virtuous and virtuous. He was immediately canonized as a third-grade imperial edict!
Li Jingmo, the father of Yong'an Marquis, taught his son well and was granted the title of Changxing Bo, granting him a settlement of 100 households! I admire this~! "
"Old man Ye Yuzhu accepted the order, thank you!"
"I, Han Yuxi, accept the decree, thank you!"
"I, Li Jingmo, accept the order and thank you!"
As the old eunuch finished speaking, Li Jingmo, Mrs. Li, and Han Yuxi, their hearts almost jumped out of excitement, and they quickly stepped forward and bowed to receive the order.
"Xiao He! Hurry! Come over here with the wedding money!"
Li Zexuan quickly ordered at this time.
"Yes! Master!"
The young master responded and quickly turned around and entered the room. After a while, he brought a plate of gold leaves. The old eunuch knew that this was the money for the master to add to the celebration. It would be bad if he didn't accept it, so he put it away with a smile: "Master Hou polite!"
"Haha! My father-in-law has been working hard all the way, so why not go inside and have a cup of tea~!"
Li Zexuan said with a smile.
The old eunuch shook his head and said: "Master Marquis, you are so polite! Our family has to return to the palace to recover, so we won't disturb Master Hou! This time, General Manager Zhao should have come in person to deliver the order, but the rebels had just been wiped out, and his old man We still have important things to do in Chang'an City, and I really can't get away. Manager Zhao asked our family to express congratulations to Mr. Hou, and I hope Mr. Hou won't blame you!"
I see!
Li Zexuan was suddenly enlightened and said quickly: "Business matters in Chang'an City are important, how dare I take offense! Please thank Mr. Zhao on behalf of me!"
"Definitely~!"
The old eunuch said goodbye, turned around and left with a group of young eunuchs.
Afterwards, Li Mansion completely became a sea of joy!
"Master, I have become a second-grade imperial concubine!"
"Haha! Madam, I have become Changxing Bo!"
Although Li Jingmo and Ye Yuzhu had lived for most of their lives and experienced countless ups and downs, they were still so excited that they couldn't help but tremble when they faced the imperial edict in their hands. They were the second-grade Gaoming and Chang Xingbo!
Especially Li Jingmo, he never thought that he could be an official in his lifetime, and he became an earl immediately. A year ago, not only others would not believe it, but Li Jingmo himself would not believe that he could become an earl. Ye~!
"Sir, you didn't agree with Yuzhu and Jingmo's marriage at the beginning. What do you think now? What does that mean? In terms of choosing a son-in-law, master, you are still not as good as a concubine!"
Mrs. Ye asked Mrs. Li for the imperial edict, and then she smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into a line. She looked at Ye Guozhong with a bright smile and joked.
Ye Guozhong, who was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, couldn't help but darken his face when he heard this, and said: "What does it mean that I don't agree to a special marriage? If I don't agree, how can they get together in the end? Besides, the Li family can have this glory, That's our grandson Xiaoxuan's wish. What does this have to do with your choice of son-in-law
As for this vision, I still have the best vision! If I hadn't calculated that Yuzhu and Jingmo's son would be rich and have a bright future, how could I have acquiesced in allowing Yuzhu and Jingmo to leave Nanyang? "
Mrs. Ye glared and said angrily: "You old bastard, you are telling lies with your eyes open. Didn't you think that Yuzhu and Jingmo's son would encounter a disaster when he was young? That's why you didn't agree with Yuzhu marrying Jingmo." Mo?"
Unexpectedly, Ye Guozhong coughed dryly, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he said: "What? Madam, haven't you heard that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later? Xiaoxuan encountered a catastrophe when he was young, just as I had predicted, But didn’t he survive? So all this was as expected!"
Who would have thought that the previous head of the Ye family could be so shameless
Mrs. Ye made a "poof" sound and laughed and scolded: "You are so old~! I am too lazy to tell you~!"
Hearing the conversation between the old couple, Ye Yuzhu and Li Jingmo couldn't help but chuckle secretly. At this time, a crisp girl's voice rang out: "Dad, Mom, have you all been promoted? Why is Lan'er the only one who has not been promoted? ? Lan'er also wants to be an official!"
"Hahaha~! What kind of official does Lan'er want to be?"
Li Jingmo was in a good mood at this time. Hearing this, he couldn't help but rub his daughter's little head and joked.
Lan'er curled her lips and said, "Lan'er also wants to be the imperial wife like sister Yuxi and mother!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in front of the courtyard couldn't help laughing.
"Master, Xuan'er is now the governor and has been granted the title of a state. Shouldn't our family celebrate?"
After a while, Ye Yuzhu suddenly said.
Hearing this, Li Jingmo nodded solemnly without even thinking about it and said: "Celebrate! We must celebrate! The place here in Yunshan is too small, we might as well go back to the county's house to celebrate! Let's celebrate together with the whole house and have a big banquet! At the house Everyone has a good time tonight!"
"Thank you, sir!"
After Li Jingmo finished speaking, several maids, servants and guards outside the courtyard couldn't help but burst into cheers.
Li Zexuan said at this time: "Father! Mother! Grandfather, grandmother, and my wife, you go back to the Marquis Mansion first. I have something important to deal with in the workshop, and I will go back after I finish it!"
Li Jingmo looked stunned and asked, "Xuan'er, what can happen at the workshop?"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Dad, don't worry! It's nothing serious! I'll go back to my house after seeing my child!"
Li Jingmo did not continue to inquire, he nodded and said: "That's good! Xuan'er, be careful in everything!"
"Well! Then the kid will go down the mountain first~!"
Li Zexuan said goodbye to his family, and then walked towards the Yunshan Mountain Road to the west with Du E and four or five personal guards.
… … … … … … …
Li Zexuan did have something to do when he went to the workshop. He had not forgotten the fireworks and gunpowder he found in the Ancestral Temple yesterday! Now in this world, there is only one place that can produce fireworks and gunpowder, and that is Qiquge New Workshop!
Moreover, it is not a holiday, so the workshop will not make new fireworks and firecrackers at all, and those old fireworks and firecrackers have already been set off during the Lantern Festival. The other companies that are closer to Li Zexuan, although they were not I asked Li Zexuan for some fireworks, but most of them had finished setting off at that time. Even if there were some left, they were far from able to gather so much fireworks and gunpowder!
On the other hand, most of the families who have good relations with Li Zexuan are military families! What blind thief would dare to throw fireworks and gunpowder into their house
Therefore, the wooden boxes of fireworks and gunpowder in the Ancestral Temple must have been stolen from the workshop warehouse!
Both emotionally and rationally, Li Zexuan must find out this "traitor"!
"Du'e, where did the fireworks and gunpowder that the Tianlong Sect placed in the Ancestral Temple come from?"
After descending from Yunshan, Li Zexuan asked in a deep voice while walking towards the workshop.
Since Du'e has chosen to submit to Li Zexuan, and now that the Tianlong Sect has been wiped out, he has no need to hide anything. He frowned and pondered for a moment before replying:
"Back to the Marquis, the poor monk heard Long Shou mention this matter before. When the Tianlong Sect came to develop its followers near Chang'an, the Long Shou had already started planning a rebellion. At that time, he heard someone said that there was someone in the Marquis's workshop. He planted explosive fireworks and asked Judge Zhang Liang to check if any of the disciples of the sect were working in the Marquis's workshop, and they were indeed found!"
Li Zexuan frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Who is it~?"
"This person's name is Zhu Cairong. My mother has been suffering from wind pain for a long time and has not been treated for a long time. I wanted to use the holy water of Yaochi to cure my mother's illness, so I joined the Tianlong Sect!"
Du'e recalled for a moment and slowly narrated: "The Dragon Head asked the Tianlong Sect's spies to secretly contact Zhu Cairong and told him that as long as he could transport a box of fireworks and gunpowder from the workshop, he would be rewarded with ten bowls of Tianlong holy water. But Zhu Cairong was He was quite loyal to the Marquis and refused the conditions offered by the spies on the spot, claiming that if he did so, he would definitely be beaten to death by his mother!
At that time, Longshou wanted to use fireworks and gunpowder to blow up the Royal Ancestral Temple. After learning that Zhu Cairong would not cooperate, he had Zhu Cairong's mother secretly arrested and sent spies to tell Zhu Cairong that if his mother's life could be saved, He must steal a box of fireworks and gunpowder from the workshop within three days, otherwise, his mother will be dead! "
"You bastard! This leader of the Tianlong Sect is really going to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. If such a person can achieve great things, he will be blind in the sky!"
Hearing this, Li Zexuan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily.
Du'e was silent when he heard this, because a few days ago, he was a general under the dragon leader of the Tianlong Sect, and it was really hard for him to accept Li Zexuan's words.
"Go to the workshop~!"
Li Zexuan waved his hand, and the group drove towards the workshop at a faster speed.
He could guess what happened next even without asking. In order to save his mother, Zhu Cairong had no choice but to betray the workshop and steal a box of gunpowder and give it to the Tianlong Sect.
However, he did not expect that the Tianlong Sect's method of stealing gunpowder would be so despicable at first, and even used Zhu Cairong's mother as a blackmail, so now he does not hate Zhu Cairong so much, but has some sympathy!
… … … … … …
"Master, are you back?"
When he came to the workshop, he happened to bump into Uncle Fu. After seeing Li Zexuan after half a month's absence, Uncle Fu's face was full of excitement and he quickly stepped forward to greet him.
"Master Hou is back!"
"It's really the Marquis!"
"I've met the Marquis!"
Dozens of craftsmen in the front yard of the workshop quickly raised their heads after hearing what Uncle Fu said. When they saw Li Zexuan standing at the door, these people immediately bowed and saluted excitedly.
You must know that Li Zexuan is not only a high-ranking prince, but also the soul of the entire workshop because of his outstanding engineering skills. Many craftsmen regard Li Zexuan as their ancestor or their lifelong idol. Now that Li Zexuan is back, they seem to have finally How can you not be excited when you have found your backbone
Looking at the workshop and the craftsmen in front of him, Li Zexuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This was the foundation for him to change this era and settle down in this era! After a while of emotion, he raised his hands and said with a smile: "No need to be polite! Uncle Fu and you all have worked hard during my absence!"
"It's not hard, it's not hard!"
"Master Hou's words are serious!"
Everyone waved their hands.
Uncle Fu waved to everyone at this time and said: "Okay! Go and do whatever you have to do! There will be extra food in the workshop tonight. There is enough fish and meat. You can bring your family to celebrate the return of the Marquis!"
"Okay! Thank you, Mr. Hou! Thank you, Guanshi Fu!"
As soon as Uncle Fu finished speaking, the craftsmen in the courtyard suddenly burst into cheers.
Although the food in the workshop is good on weekdays, it is not as luxurious as eating enough fish and meat, not to mention that this time I can openly bring my mother-in-law and dolls with me.
It’s time to eat!
"Master, let's go! Let's go inside and talk!"
After letting the craftsmen perform their duties, Uncle Fu looked at Li Zexuan and said.
"Um!"
Li Zexuan nodded and followed Uncle Fu towards the office building of the workshop.
"Uncle Fu, firstly, I'm here to visit you and the craftsmen in the workshop. Secondly, I want to find someone in the workshop!"
When he came to Uncle Fu's "office", Li Zexuan didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
There are thousands of craftsmen in Qiquge's new workshop. How difficult is it to find one person among them? In order to find Zhu Cairong as soon as possible, Li Zexuan could only ask Uncle Fu for help!
Uncle Fu heard some seriousness in Li Zexuan's tone, and his face couldn't help but become serious, "Looking for someone? Master, who are you looking for?"
"Zhu Cairong!"
Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice.
