"Obstacle, evil obstacle!"
Mrs. Xu had a cold face, raised her hand and pointed toward the door, "Go outside and kneel, I don't want to see you now!"
"Grandma, then, this errand..."
"roll--"
…
When Mrs. Xu in the Xu Mansion was furious and Duke An Tai Xu Huaiyi was shameless, another group of imperial envoys came from Anshun County to deliver the order.
In this team of imperial envoys, Zhao Rui has always been naive, and he has successfully gained the recognition of everyone in the team.
There were several officials from the Ministry of Rites who went to Mr. Xu's house with Yan Jing last time to deliver the decree. They were old acquaintances with Zhao Rui. After all, they had stayed in the Zhao family's inn.
The team delivering the message this time naturally followed Emperor Yongping's order and came to reward the kind-hearted Mr. Zhao Er.
Rich and noble lord!
This is the canonization given by Emperor Yongping to Mr. Zhao Bing? Mr. Zhao.
With one person's efforts, he helped the entire disaster-stricken people in Xiangyi Prefecture. With such financial resources, it is not an exaggeration to call him "rich".
Knowing that his master was actually granted a title, Zhao Rui really didn't expect it. Therefore, along the way, the edict-delivery team was taken care of in every possible way.
When the team arrived in Anshun County, Zuoqiu, who had just returned from the fields, received the news and immediately summoned a group of county officials to hurriedly greet the imperial team.
As a result, the team carrying the message did not stop at the county seat, but passed directly through the city and headed for Sanhe Town.
Zhao Rui rushed to Sanhe Town with the imperial team in such a hurry just because he was worried that something might happen.
When the imperial edict is read out and his master becomes a wealthy noble, he will feel at ease.
Zhao Rui, who used to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, is really unable to remain calm now.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred.
The team successfully arrived at Sanhe Town and read out the imperial edict.
The moment Zhao Bingyu received the imperial edict, he officially became a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty, a Marquis of Fortune.
"A bit tacky!"
Zhao Bingyu accepted the order and felt a little unhappy when there was no one around.
Wealth, wealth, sounds a bit rustic.
After Zhao Rui settled the imperial envoys and returned to Mr. Zhao Er, he proudly raised his eyebrows at his master and said, "Master, how are you? I did a good job on my job!"
"Master Hou!"
"Xiao Wu, was my title assigned by the emperor? Or by someone else?"
Zhao Bing looked at Zhao Rui and asked slowly.
"Well, this is what Bachelor Yan Jingyan suggested. I think it's pretty good, and it suits you very well, Master!"
"It is indeed this brat!"
Zhao Bing snorted, "I'm just saying, how can the emperor be so tacky? We've been making trouble for a long time, and it's Yan Jing, the stinky boy, who's causing trouble for me again!"
"Master, isn't this a good title?"
"We are rich, this is a fact!"
Zhao Rui didn't think there was anything bad about the title of Marquis of Fugui at all. On the contrary, he also felt that this title was very suitable for his master.
"Xiao Wu, you use the dialect of our capital city to say the word wealth!"
"Fugui'er... Fugui'er..."
Zhao Rui actually followed Zhao Bing?'s words. He only said it twice, and Zhao Rui's face became a little ugly.
"Master, I was wrong!"
"I'm not done with this bastard Yan Jing!"
Zhao Rui is getting angry.
Fugui'er, Fugui'er, in the capital's dialect, sounds like calling a fool. Some families also like to name their dogs Fugui'er.
Fuguihou, this is simply too much!
"Okay, don't be angry!"
Zhao Bing? He really wanted to say, "Isn't it just a title ban?"
"Besides, I probably will never return to the capital again in my life. Whatever the title is, that's it!"
"I'm just wondering that Yan Jing, a brat, wouldn't resort to such despicable methods even if he doesn't like me."
"Master, why do you care about this?"
"I can't swallow this breath anyway!"
Zhao Rui's heart felt like needles pricking him when he thought that he had happily thanked Yan Jing at that time.
"As you wish!"
Zhao Bingxi smiled and said, "Just give him a beating. Don't make too much trouble. Although this brat has a bit of a venomous mouth, his nature is not bad and he is capable of getting things done."
"How can one beating be enough? I have to provide him with three meals a day."
"It's so irritating!"
Zhao Rui was really angry now.
I think he has always been very clever before, but this time, he was actually tricked.
"Don't be angry. Now that you're back, help me keep an eye on the dragon boat race!"
"Master, what exactly are you planning to do in the dragon boat race?"
Zhao Rui became even more puzzled when he heard his master talking about the dragon boat race.
Dragon boat racing is a thing that can be found in many places in the Tang Dynasty.
In previous years, his master had no interest in this kind of thing. Why is this year so special that the dragon boat race is mentioned again and again
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask!"
"When the time comes, you will naturally understand."
Zhao Bing? waved his hand and didn't explain much.
Zhao Rui couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only suppress the questions in his mind and find someone to find out about the current situation of the dragon boat race.
…
Lingshui Village, old Xu's family.
Mr. Xu saw Zuoqiu coming in a hurry again.
From Zuoqiu's mouth, Mr. Xu learned about Zhao Bing
A noble prince!
In this area of Anshun County, Zhao Bing? immediately became the most distinguished person.
According to etiquette, Mr. Xu, a seventh-grade filial piety man, should visit Zhao Bingyi, a first-grade wealthy prince.
"Brother, this is etiquette!"
"Even if you have any grudges against Fugui Hou, at this time, you can only put them aside for the time being."
"I know!"
Mr. Xu felt as if he had eaten a fly on his head.
He didn't think that Zhao Bingyi donated hundreds of millions of family wealth just to gain a false reputation as the Marquis so that he could visit him.
There must be some secret in this, Zhao Bing? must have other intentions. ,
But what exactly is Zhao Bing? Mr. Xu has no clues about, so he can't even guess.
"Brother, you better meet the Marquis of Fugui as soon as possible. Don't let anyone grab your pigtails. We are too weak now!"
Even if Yan Jing and Shen Wansheng were brought here, they would not be able to get enough of a first-grade marquis.
"Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child, I won't act out of emotion!"
Mr. Xu smiled slightly and told Zuoqiu that there was no need to worry.
Well, no matter what the hell his uncle is planning.
As long as he stands upright and does everything upright, he has no fear of these little conspiracies.
"Brother, I'll go back first!"
“There’s been so much going on in the Yamen lately!”
"The matters concerning the Yang clan cannot be delayed any longer. Recently, I may not have time to come here again!"
"Brother, please take care of yourself!"
Mr. Xu's forehead was filled with black lines as he listened to Zuoqiu's words.
Why do good words come out of Zuoqiu's mouth, but they feel so unpleasant
However, before Mr. Xu could say anything, Zuoqiu also realized that what he said seemed a bit strange. He looked embarrassed and quickly explained, "Brother, I didn't mean that."
Wait, what do I mean
Zuoqiu thought about what he just said, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Mr. Xu quickly waved his hands and said, "Stop talking. If you keep talking, I feel like I'm going to be in trouble now!"
"Well… "
Zuoqiu was even more embarrassed.
Mr. Xu laughed, stood up, and said, "Fourth brother, I understand what you mean. Nothing will happen to me. Marquis Fugui, after all, is my brother-in-law."
"If I had never felt sorry for my mother, he would not have troubled me."
Mr. Xu was also a little confused as to what kind of person his little uncle was. However, in general, he can still understand something.
The matter of his mother being his mother should have left some obsession in his uncle's heart.
This obsession is like a double-edged sword that can hurt others as well as yourself.
Similarly, this obsession also puts Mr. Xu in an embarrassing position. The embarrassment is that he is his mother's son, but he still has the blood of the Xu family that his uncle hates.
Mr. Xu couldn't figure out what Zhao Bing? was going to do, but he understood that as long as he didn't return to the Xu family, his uncle had no reason to take action against him.
Zuoqiu didn't know these secrets, but he was somewhat relieved to see that Mr. Xu had everything in his mind.
As he said, he has been really busy recently.
Life is short and he must race against time.
…
"Boss, go prepare two chickens and two ducks, and come with me to visit my relatives!"
After sending Zuoqiu away, Mr. Xu returned home and immediately called Mr. Xu over.
"What kind of relatives are you visiting?"
Boss Xu was quite confused, "Dad, do you have relatives here? Why didn't I know?"
"Go to town!"
Mr. Xu glared at his eldest son angrily, "Your uncle-in-law has just been conferred the title of First-Rank Rich Marquis. Your father and I, a seventh-grade Xiaoyi Lang, should go to see him."
"ah?!"
Boss Xu was dumbfounded, "Dad, what did my uncle do? Isn't it too easy to get this title?"
"We in Xiangyi Prefecture are experiencing a severe drought. Each family receives two hundred kilograms of millet. Apparently it is from the imperial court. In fact, it is the handiwork of your uncle."
"Do you think this title is easy to come by?"
"No, it's not easy!"
Boss Xu was completely shocked.
With such a big deal, his uncle is really extremely wealthy. But is it a good deal
Mr. Xu ignored Mr. Xu and went into the house to find Mrs. Xu and asked her to take Fubao with her.
"Master, would it be rude for you to bring two chickens and two ducks?"
"That depends on what my little uncle thinks!"
Why bring two chickens and two ducks? This is very particular.
Because when he was young, his mother often sang an interesting song to him. The lyrics included two lines like this: a chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand, and a fat doll on her back.
His mother said that this song is called Returning to Mother’s Home.
However, from the day they came out of the Xu Mansion, his mother no longer had her parents' home, and she could not go back to her parents' home! (End of chapter)
