The scouts carefully presented the booklet of the Duke of Lu, General Qian, to Emperor Taiping.
The book records the battle with Tuhun soldiers in detail.
After reading the excerpts carefully, Emperor Taiping said hello three times, and immediately asked his servants to serve the pen and ink, and he wanted to personally draw up the imperial decree for the reward.
Received such great news during the New Year's Eve, this year's New Year's Festival in the palace is extremely lively.
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Emperor Taiping's reward arrived at the Jing'anbo Mansion.
When Mrs. He led a whole family of people to kneel behind the hanging flower gate in the front yard to receive the decree, she was both shocked and happy. She never thought that in this Northern War, the one who contributed the most was her youngest grandson. He Saburo!
The Great Wu Dynasty was super-stable, and now the Holy Majesty is a Mingjun again, and the prosperous age is approaching, it is really rare to have such an opportunity to earn military merits. Nowadays, the official positions of generals of the same rank in the court are far inferior to those of civil servants. It is extremely difficult for noble children like Jing'an House who started their careers by relying on military exploits to get ahead. It is difficult for those with some ambitions to be in the court in less than ten years. Don stands firm.
The old man left early, and Uncle Jing An was far away on the border of Mingzhou. The old lady He was originally worried about the future of the three children of her grandchildren, but she never thought that He Changdi would break out after going to the northern border like this. up!
It really surprised her.
The imperial decree is very simple, and it is estimated that the follow-up rewards will not be arranged in detail until He Changdi returns to Shengjing City.
But it was just such a simple sentence or two that made the old lady stunned.
Emperor Taiping actually rewarded He Changdi with a title.
Marquis Dingyuan!
It's actually one level higher than the old uncle's title!
Even Mrs. He, who has experienced the storm, couldn't recover for a while.
The person who proclaimed the decree was the favored servant of Emperor Taiping.
He smiled and said: "Old Madam, this is a great thing. When Lord Hou returns to Beijing, the villain will come to ask for a glass of wine."
Mrs. He was pulled back to her senses by these words, and immediately let go of the tens of thousands of guesses in her heart, and braced herself to deal with the servant who announced the decree.
"The old man will wait for the father-in-law."
Mrs. He took over the imperial decree and a reward on behalf of He Changdi, and asked Nanny Liu to present a thank-you gift. The attendants rushed back to the palace to return to their orders, but declined Mrs. He's request to stay.
When the person who announced the decree in the palace left, Mrs. He couldn't recover from the decree.
Their Jing'an House is now a double nobility
Except for the previous dynasty, the Great Wu Dynasty has never had such an honor since its founding.
This also means that the Jing'anbo Mansion has leapt from a second-rate family to a prominent family in Beijing.
Mrs. He loves He Changdi the most. The title of Uncle Jing'an will definitely be passed on to Dalang He Changqi in the future. Erlang spends his whole day in the Dragon and Tiger Guards and doesn't want to get married. The old lady doesn't bother to care about him. , the original plan for He Changdi was to let him go as a civil servant in the imperial examination. Although it was a bit difficult, but with the support of the Jing'anbo mansion, after a few more years of hard work, he could still look good. Who knew that he would sneak away to the northern border.
How worried Mrs. He was at the beginning, how surprised she is now.
Now that He Changdi has a title of title, even if the children are separated in the future, she can rest assured.
Now what worries her most is the leftover man He Erlang.
The son is more promising than his parents and grandparents, Mrs. Jing'an Mrs. Liu is naturally very happy.
Dalang He Changqi has always been self-aware. He knows that he is not bad, but compared with the outstanding third brother, he is ashamed. The third brother can make great contributions in the northern border this time. As the He family, he is naturally proud of him.
I am afraid that the only one who is unhappy in Manjing's Anbo Mansion is his sister-in-law, Mrs. Zou.
It was not as good as Chu Lian in attracting the elders' love, but now the title of Sanfang overwhelms them again, and she doesn't even have a legitimate son under her name, so the situation in the Jing'an uncle's mansion will only be more difficult in the future.
With the support of Mother Qiao, she lowered her head slightly, so that others could not see her jealous and resentful eyes.
As for He Ying and Miss Biao Pan Nianzhen, they were shocked at first, and then ecstatic.
He Ying is the eldest aunt of Jing'anbo Mansion. As the status of Jing'anbo Mansion rises, her status will naturally rise accordingly.
When He Sanlang returned to the capital, he would probably use it again according to the Holy Majesty's decree. At that time, the Jing'anbo Mansion would be considered as light among the many noble families in Shengjing City.
Her elder brother Jing'an is still there, it is impossible for Jing'an's mansion to split up so quickly, if he wants to occupy this glory and wealth forever, letting his daughter marry into her mother's family is the best way.
The aunt's slender eyes were shining.
At the same time, Emperor Taiping's will was sent back to Liangzhou City by Kuaima at the same time.
It's just that it's still winter at this time, and the journey from Shengjing to Liangzhou will take more than ten days at the fastest. It is estimated that the news will reach Liangzhou after the Lantern Festival.
New Year's Eve and New Year's Day pass one by one, and the days after the new year are like a white horse.
Liangzhou City was still frozen in the snow, and now if you want to go far, you have to take the Lu Zhou ordered by Chu Lian.
Wu Lihan, who has lived in the northern region for decades, said that the ice and snow in the northern region will not melt until February, and more than half of the snow-covered grasslands will turn into swamps. Also fraught with danger.
Now Wulihan, mother and son are living in Hefu. After getting along for this period of time, Wulihan can basically speak the official dialect of the Great Wu Dynasty fluently. Although the tone is still a bit strange, there is no obstacle to communication on weekdays.
Chu Lian, Wu Lihan, mother and son have gone through adversity, and now they have a very good relationship. Wu Lihan has only two sons and no daughter, and Chu Lian is younger than the eldest son, Muren, so she simply put Chu Lian Love her as her own daughter.
The barbarians are straightforward, without the red tapes of the nobles of the Great Wu Dynasty, and Chu Lian is a good girl trained under the red banner, but she gets along very well with Wu Lihan, really like a relative who has not seen for many years.
When he was eleven years old, Nari Song had plenty of food and soup in Hefu, and his health gradually improved. Now the two brothers are working under Guanshi Qin.
Chu Lian and He Sanlang had discussed that they would bring their mother and son with them when they returned to the capital, and they would stay with their husband and wife in the future.
He Sanlang, who is quite "stingy" on weekdays, graciously agreed to Chu Lian's proposal this time, causing Chu Lian to think that he hadn't heard clearly and then confirmed it again, only to realize that he was not joking.
Sitting beside He Changdi's bed, Chu Lian was about to feed him with soup in his hand, when he heard this, he asked in amazement, "He Changdi, why did you become so talkative all of a sudden?"
He Changdi glanced at her, closed his eyes slightly, and quickly covered up the emotion in his eyes, his deep voice sounded unchanged, "When will I not be generous?"
Chu Lian stirred the medicine bowl with a spoon, and rolled her eyes when she heard the words, "When are you being so generous, you will be angry for a while when I stay with Sister Hui for a while and come back."
He Changdi's ears turned red, and he simply pursed his thin lips into a line and didn't say a word.
After getting along during this period, although the young couple didn't stick together all the time, they always shared the same bed and shared three meals a day. Now they are very familiar with each other.
Chu Lian was always careful, but now she understands how awkward her husband is.
He pursed his lips and remained silent now, maybe he had already defended himself a hundred and eighty times in his heart.
The corner of Chu Lian's mouth twitched, and he wanted to stuff the medicine bowl in his hand to him.
He Sanlang didn't move on purpose, and in the end Chu Lian had no choice but to compromise. He was still a sick man now!
Resigned to his fate, he took out a spoonful of soup and medicine with a small spoon and brought it to He Sanlang's mouth.
He Changdi lowered his eyes and opened his mouth to swallow the bitter soup in the spoon.
Chu Lian was speechless, she was also curious to taste the decoction he was drinking now, it was so bitter that she would die, if she was not forced to, she would not be able to drink a sip.
Wouldn't it be better to be bored when encountering such an unpalatable soup? But he wanted her to feed him. Did He Sanlang lose his sense of taste after taking one bite at a time? Drinking it was quite happy, it was a freak.
After drinking the last sip of the soup, Chu Lian discussed serious matters with him.
"I'll go out for a while, and I don't think I'll be back until the afternoon. The old doctor will come to your house today to change your medicine. Let Laiyue entertain him."
He Sanlang was in a good mood at first, but after hearing what his wife said, he immediately became unhappy.
The expression on his face didn't change, because it was the handsome and cold face, but his eyes became darker, and the aura all over his body unconsciously made people tense.
"where to?"
Chu Lian knew that his problem of love to make up brains had happened again, and he said in relief: "Then you ask Lai Yue to follow me, and I will let Wenqing and Uncle Mo stay at the house to take care of them."
The two are husband and wife, she doesn't want to hide anything from him, so she just put everything in front of his eyes, Lai Yue is his constant follower, if he follows her, he will know everything about her at a glance.
He Changdi finally agreed, but he did not forget to tell her, "Bring more guards and generals."
Chu Lian smiled and kissed him lightly at the corner of his eyes, then quickly pulled away and left.
Chu Lian's silver bell-like laughter echoed in the inner room before leaving.
He Sanlang was so startled by Chu Lian's sudden action that he couldn't regain his senses. He didn't regain his senses until the figure was gone, but his entire face turned more than half red.
Fortunately, there were no servants in the room at the moment, otherwise, seeing the third young master who was known for his cold face in front of the third grandma, who was red-faced and looked like he was being molested, would be so frightened that he would not be able to recover, and would not have been terrified to think that he was bewitched.
Manager Qin had already prepared Lu Zhou for his departure.
Chu Lian was helped by Wenlan to board Lu Zhou, and she and Wenlan Li Yue took a car.
Laiyue rides with Guanshi Qin.
The two or three points they are going to today are not far away, and the nearest point is only half an hour away.
When he arrived at the place, Chu Lian slightly lifted the curtain of the warm shed on Lu Zhou, and he could see five or six sturdy tents not far away.
From time to time, barbarians came from all directions around the tent.
Most of these barbarians drove cattle, horses and sheep, and some carried sheepskin and yak skin, but they had one common feature, that is, they were thin and haggard.
Experienced people can tell at a glance that it has become like this because of lack of living materials.
They don't have to be from a lack of food.
It may be because I have not eaten salt for a long time, it may be that I have eaten meat for a long time, and my body is not balanced in nutrition, or it may be frozen due to the lack of coal for heating.
And this small tent concentration is a small market prepared for them.
