Chapter 290

I don't know if it was deliberately concealed by someone, or it was just a coincidence that Li Xiuping didn't know that his mother and wife were bestowed by the emperor until the time he left his post.

Even if Jingrui and Xu Zifan winked at him, Li Xiuping only treated him as a friend and played with him.

As a result, after Li Xiuping left, the two looked at his back and began to mutter.

"Hey, I want to marry a wife too."

This was Jingrui's idea. Before, when he went home, he had to listen to his father talking about him once a day, saying that he was getting older and his health was failing. Before he closed his eyes, he didn't know if he could see his only son solve the lifelong event.

Jing Rui was actually quite sad, if he met a good lady, he wouldn't want to marry her.

Like that Mrs. Li, but she can't be seen as a country woman at all.

If there are noble girls in Beijing who are good-looking, virtuous and talented like Mrs. Li, it is not impossible for them to marry in!

Xu Zifan was thinking that it had been two months since he sent a letter back last time.

Why hasn't his parents come yet, and he doesn't know how long it will take before they arrive to propose marriage for him.

What annoyance, why is it so difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, I really envy Brother Li's good luck!
On the way back, Li Xiuping was still thinking about how long it would take for the potatoes sent to Huangzhuang to germinate, and when would they be harvested to calculate the yield?
However, according to the current practice, even if potatoes are proven to be a high-yield crop and Qingqing has made great contributions, the credit will not fall on her head.

Maybe the emperor will promote him to his position, and then give his wife a title?
So Li Xiuping thought again, with such credit, how high an official could he be promoted to?

Hope can do practical things, but he will never forget in his heart that everything was brought to him by Qingqing.

As a result, after returning home, Li Xiuping was pleasantly surprised that his mother and daughter-in-law already had a patent.

For the aristocrats of the aristocratic family, An Ren of the sixth rank is nothing, but Mother must be happy.

Liupinan people, when they go back to their hometown, the county magistrate of Anshun County will turn around and salute his mother.

Li Mansion is very lively today, no less than the day when Li Xiuping got married, mainly because of such important events as setting up an incense table and receiving the imperial decree, even if the neighbors who live nearby are of unusual status, it is not common to encounter them.

And it also shows that Mr. Li has won the Sacred Heart, so if you want to make friends with him, you have to take advantage of this time.

After Master Li gets more officials and ranks, you go to curry favor, and you may not be able to find a way.

So the whole afternoon, before Li Xiuping came back, old man Li and Mrs. Shi were still very busy.

Even before it was too late, share the joy of having a patent with your family.

People kept coming to visit with gifts, all of them belonged to the neighbors, and they all made it clear that they came to congratulate her.

It's just some small homely gifts, of course it's not easy for the Li family to refuse.

Shi Shi is a shrewd and stingy person who is also well-versed in the world, and he understands a truth very well, taking advantage of small advantages and suffering big losses.

Communication between neighbors is originally a matter of you coming and going, if you just accept gifts from others unilaterally.

In the future, the repayment will be doubled.

"At that time, what needs to be paid is no longer a matter of a handful of green onions and a vegetable. There are many favors owed. If someone comes to ask you for a relationship, how should you refuse?"

This is what San Lang once said, and Shi Shi always kept it in his heart.

After all, this is the most proud son, Li old man Shi knows the seriousness, and the future of the whole family will be on Sanlang's body.

Especially Qingqing also said: "Mother, think about it, there are so many fools in this world who would give gifts for nothing. What people need to seek is the benefits behind this. After accepting the gift, what if someone asks you to do things?" manage?"

So from the very beginning, I put my position on the right foot, like now when the neighbors come to congratulate me, all the gifts are accepted.

But, Shi Shi will ask the old man and Da Lang Erlang to search for similar gifts in return, and return them all when others leave.

Although the Li family has no servants, but because there are enough Li family members, there is no confusion in doing these things.

Fortunately, these neighbors didn't think too much, they just wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with Mr. Li, and they were all very happy with the gift from Li's family in return.

Those who really want to give gifts and ask for work are still observing secretly, and have not made a move for the time being.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor relies heavily on Lord Li, and not many people know about it.

They are usually the confidantes of Emperor Hongwen, and if they are in their position, there is nothing to ask Master Li for.

To the outside world, Li Xiuping was only a fifth-rank bachelor, so it was no big deal for such a Beijing official to catch a lot, so the fact that the emperor only rewarded two sixth-rank security men did not attract much attention.

Finally, after dealing with the large group of guests, Shi Shi saw Li Sanlang standing on the side, and walked over quickly.

"Ouch, Lord Li is back? Why stand here silently, I should have my family line up to welcome me."

"Mother—" Li Xiuping didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he could hear that he was being teased by his mother.

It was only for a moment, but Shi Shi pulled him back and praised him uncontrollably: "I really gave birth to a good son, mother always knew that you would be very successful.

Look, you are so young, you have earned the title of Mrs. Gaoming for your mother and daughter-in-law. "

Thinking about what she saw in the drama before, Shi felt that she was about to wake up laughing from a dream:

"Haha, my mother will be the wife of the sixth grade in the future, and Ermao said that she is older than the county master."

Shi Shi is really happy. Before, she had to take care of her image in front of outsiders, but now she is full of enthusiasm and finally found an outlet.

He started babbling at his son and nagging for a long time.

But some people can't stand it, because the old woman actually said:

"Take a look, sure enough even the emperor knows that this mother is more important than father."

Why, I only heard that the mother of the official was named the wife of the imperial court, but there was never such a saying as the master of the imperial court.

Seeing that his mother was so happy, Li Xiuping didn't try to expose it, in fact, there were some.

His father could be appointed as a doctor of Fengzheng, but this time his mother was able to obtain the order because of his daughter-in-law's honor, so the emperor never thought of making him his father.

The son could bear it, but the father couldn't bear it, the old man Li added angrily: "Then even if you become a member of Liupinan, you have to arrange dinner for us after cleaning the yard."

"Shut up." Shi Shi glared at old man Li angrily, then turned to face Li Xiuping again with the image of a loving mother: "Sanlang, the emperor even gave us a reward, so what kind of annoyance is this?" Do you have Lumi and Yueyin every month?"

Of course not, Li Xiuping explained to his mother in a good voice that what this imperial lady represents is just an honor and has no actual authority or income.

Shi Shi is also happy, the honor is good, if she is really asked to go out and become an official, she will not be able to do it.
