Chapter 41

Zhang Hao knelt there, listening to Xu Jie reciting the imperial decree.

However, I vaguely heard words such as rewarding Lu Anbo, guarding thousands of households in golden clothes, walking in the palace, etc., but I am not sure.

When Xu Jienian heard Qin's words, Zhang Rong immediately kowtowed to thank him, and Zhang Hao immediately kowtowed to thank him when he saw Zhang Rong kowtow.

"Zhang Hao, Lu Anbo, accept the order!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Hao and said with a smile.

"Ah?" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Jie in confusion.

"This, Xu Shangshu, that is my son," Zhang Rong explained immediately, wanting to say that his son had a problem with his brain, but he couldn't say that.

"Haha, that's all, Duke of England, rejoice! The second son is now an earl!" Xu Jie said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"Thank you, thank you, come and drink tea inside, please, please!" Zhang Rong greeted Xu Jie very warmly.

Zhang Hao held the imperial decree in both hands, and didn't know what to do, and then some officials came over with the emperor's reward.

"Come on, drink tea!" Zhang Rong asked Xu Jie to sit down, and immediately someone came over with tea.

Zhang Rong politely made a gesture of invitation, but Zhang Hao was still holding the imperial decree. Dad didn't tell him what he meant at all.

"Come, happy money, come, everyone has it!" At this moment, Mrs. Xu came over with some cloth bags and gave happy money to those who came to announce the good news.

This is a convention, and it’s all about meaning, and the British government is not short of those little money.

"Englander, this award is really surprising. No one thought that Zhang Hao could be awarded a title. There are great opinions from outside. It's better to be cautious." Xu Jie sat there and looked at Zhang Rong and said. .

"Thank you for reminding me, I didn't expect that the emperor would confer a title on him. I thought he would reward Hao'er with an official or something. I didn't expect it to become a thousand households of Jinyiwei, the emperor's holy grace, and this minister will never forget it!" Zhang Rong He hurriedly clasped his fists in the direction of Yuxi Palace and said.

"Well, but the British father and son have done their best for the country, and they deserve this award. By the way, do you know about Qiu Luan? Why did he suddenly betray the country? Is it true that he sent money to the Tartar?" Xu Jie continued to ask .

This is the news that came out this morning, Xu Jie couldn't believe it.

"It's true, eh, confused, how can you do such a thing?" Zhang Rong nodded affirmatively.

"Hey!" Xu Jie sighed when he heard this.

After chatting about other things for a while, Xu Jie left, and Zhang Rong personally delivered it to the door of the mansion.

After they were far away, the servants in the house began to cheer.

"Congratulations, Second Young Master!"

"Congratulations Madam!".
The servants were happy and shouted congratulations, knowing that today, there must be a reward.

"Well, reward, today's grand reward!" Xu shi said very happily.

Zhang Hao was a little unhappy at the moment, he was still holding the imperial edict, and he didn't dare to let it go. If he could get a charge of contempt of the emperor, it would be troublesome.

"Mother, don't be too busy to be happy, first tell me what to do with this imperial edict?" Zhang Hao asked with the imperial edict.

Seeing his expression like this, Xu Shi and Zhang Li burst into laughter.

"Okay, Hao'er, put it in the incense room and offer it up. You have to keep it. By the way, the emperor has also rewarded a lot. It is estimated that there are land deeds, including the land deed for building your mansion. There must be!" Xu said with both hands. Take the decree and put it away.

"Good job, second brother!" Zhang Li was also very happy for Zhang Hao. Earl, Daming's current earl is very difficult to seal, and his own brother has been sealed.

"Hey, I just said, you have to listen to me!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Li and said with a smile.

"You bastard!" Zhang Li slapped Zhang Hao upon hearing this.

"Well, bring those rewards in. There are land deeds and official uniforms. They will be used at that time! It seems that a mansion will be built for Hao'er. Li'er, what's your opinion?" Zhang Rong watched happily. Zhang Li asked.

"No, build, build according to the best!" Zhang Li said immediately.

My younger brother has been knighted, and I am willing to spend as much as I am happy.

"Well, okay, where are you?" Zhang Rong immediately looked at Ding Yu.

"No opinion, listen to the father-in-law, and the second brother's title is a great event, and of course the mansion is going to be built!" Ding Yu said immediately with a smile, and he was also happy.

"I said, sir, it's time to find a marriage for Hao'er, now my family Hao'er is an earl, so it's easier to find a marriage? They despised me for being stupid before, but my stupid son was named earl. They think they are smart, but they are nothing!" Xu said very proudly at the moment.

Now Zhang Hao is 17 years old and has not been engaged yet. I really can’t find a suitable one, and I don’t want to be better, and some disabled people, Xu is also unwilling. I don’t want to wrong my son. Now, I don’t care. Have to find a good one!
"Well, I want to find out, Madam. When the time comes, you can inquire and see who has a suitable girl, who has not yet been married!" Zhang Rong said in a serious tone when he heard it, this is an important matter.

"Okay, you still need to be the master at that time!" Xu said happily.

"Father, can't I find it myself?" Zhang Hao said casually while listening to them talking about their marriage.

I'm only 17 now, so there's no need to be in such a hurry, right?In my previous life, I was almost thirty and hadn't gotten married yet. Now, it's still early.

"Speaking nonsense again, how can you find a marriage partner yourself?" Xu shi pointed at Zhang Hao's forehead and said with a smile.

"Hao'er, oh, my precious grandson!" At this moment, a deep voice came from outside, Zhang Hao knew it was his grandfather Xu Pengju when he heard it.

"Yo, is the father-in-law here?" Zhang Rong greeted him immediately, with Xu Shi and Zhang Li following behind.

"Zhang Yue, did you know the news so soon?" Zhang Rong came out and asked with a smile.

"Who doesn't know yet? Hao'er, haha, my good grandson, the Earl!" Xu Pengju patted Zhang Hao's shoulder very happily and said.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Xu Pengju is also very good to Zhang Hao. Although he was stupid before, he has always preferred it.

"Okay, okay, grandpa was worried before, what will I do in the future as my grandson? Now I'm fine, don't worry anymore, don't worry anymore!" Xu Pengju said happily.

"Father, go and sit inside!" Xu Shi also said with a smile.

"Well, let's go!" Xu Pengju said and went to the living room, pulling Zhang Hao to sit next to him.

"Self-restraint, this time Hao'er was awarded the award. I heard that the civil officials have a lot of opinions. They say that a fool will be awarded a title. However, they are conscientious and conscientious for the sake of Ming Dynasty, and they have not awarded this honor. They are very dissatisfied!" Xu Pengju looked at Zhang Hao. said.

"Yuezhang, don't worry about them, they don't know, but the emperor knows that Hao'er has made a lot of credit, so the emperor will award such a reward, but some of the credit can't be said yet." Zhang Rong explained to Xu Pengju.

"Who is not convinced?" Zhang Hao sat next to him and asked.

"What do you want?" Zhang Rong immediately stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I hammered him to death, still not convinced?" Zhang Hao said very arrogantly.

I defeated the Tatar army by myself and protected the capital, no credit?For this credit, can't you be named an earl?
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Rong glared at Zhang Hao and said.

"Master, master, the old mansion of Yan Ge has sent a congratulatory gift!" A servant ran in and said.

"Huh?" Zhang Rong was surprised when he heard this.

"In addition, there are also ministers such as Lu Ge, who also sent gifts!" The servant continued.

Zhang Rong immediately stood up.

"Go!" Xu Pengju said to Zhang Rong.

"Zhang Yue, you are sitting here, our grandfathers are drinking at night! I'll go outside and see!" Zhang Rong raised his hands to Xu Peng and said, and then went out of the living room, while Zhang Hao and Zhang Li accompanied Xu Pengju to speak.

At noon, many ministers came to the house to give a lot of gifts, and they were all sent to Zhang Hao's warehouse. These were all Zhang Hao's.

In the evening, Zhang Hao returned to the small yard, and Jin'er was still waiting for Zhang Hao to wash.

"Master, you are really amazing!" Jin'er said when Zhang Hao wiped his back.

"Hey, you will be the count's concubine by then, are you happy?" Zhang Hao said with a smile, pinching Jin'er's cheek.

"Happy! Hee hee!" Jin'er said very happily.

She knew that she had served Zhang Hao since she was a child, and she was the closest person to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao would not treat her badly.

But in Ding Rukui's mansion, Ding Rukui was very unhappy. Zhang Hao was enthroned?If he beat himself, he could still be knighted, indicating that the emperor did not want to punish him at all.

"Father, the resignation memorial has already been written, please take a look!" Ding Rukui's eldest son Ding Yunsheng took the written memorial and gave it to Ding Rukui for a look.

"Yeah!" Ding Rukui picked it up and looked at it carefully.

There is no way to do it now, and my face is gone. As a civil official, I still need this bit of backbone. Since the emperor does not want to punish Zhang Hao, he will resign himself, and this official will not be done.

"Okay, send it to the cabinet early tomorrow morning!" Ding Rukui closed the memorial and said with a dark face.

"Father, do you need to be more careful and ask what Mr. Yan Ge means?" Ding Yunsheng reminded Ding Rukui.

"No, this old man is for his own face, he must do this!" Ding Rukui said decisively.

"However, there is news outside that Qiu Luan was beaten by Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao was fine, but Qiu Luan's mansion was raided. Now, many people say that the Tartar soldiers outside the city destroyed this way because of your cowardice, father. , It's because you are incompetent, the boy is worried, once this resignation is sent up, what will the emperor do? Or the emperor thinks that you are deliberately uncomfortable with the emperor, and Longyan will be furious at that time, what should I do?" Ding Yunsheng is more cautious , looked at Ding Rukui and said carefully.

Ding Rukui also gradually calmed down at this moment.
