Chapter 353 Ending
The battle in Jiangnan lasted for two years.

At first, it was just to put down the gang of rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, but who knew that later, because of the joining of King Yanling, the battle situation entered a stalemate.

When the army finally attacked Yanling, General Song was in danger because of a poisoned arrow.

Fortunately, Chen Xingyan sent the heart-protecting pill to save his life.

It's just that General Song is a bit older after all, and he has countless large and small hidden wounds on his body. Even if he is rescued, he will have to take care of him in the future.

The emperor issued a decree to recall General Song, and Lu Daxiong will fully command the battle of Yanling.

Three months later, King Yanling was captured, and the palace of Yanling Prince was looted. After that, Lu Daxiong returned to Beijing to return to his command.

Because Chen Xingyan continued to deliver medicine to the front line, the casualties of our generals were greatly reduced. In addition to the medicinal materials purchased by the household department, the medicinal materials Chen Xingyan sent himself were still purchased by the household department.

The emperor's heart was very happy, and he was even more in a good mood when he learned that King Yanling had been captured.

As soon as the emperor was happy, the will of successive rewards came.

The emperor ordered Chen Xingyan to be the head of Gaoyang County, exempting Ruyi Pharmacy from tax for three years, and directly rewarding Chen Xingyan with the two mountains that Lujia Village is backed by.

Now, not to mention Gaoyang County, even the entire Dongping Mansion, no one can beat it.

Although the rank of the county lord is not too high, the problem is that Chen Xingyan was really named the county lord on his own.

She was not born in the royal family, nor did she have any royal relatives, and she was granted the honor of the county lord only by her own enthusiasm.

This is a great joy for the entire Gaoyang County!

Not only that, the emperor also ordered the construction of the County Lord's Mansion in Gaoyang County, and rewarded hundreds of servants and guards.

This battle, not to mention how much it is worth, the most important thing is to pay attention to it!
There are noodles!

Naturally, the construction of the Gaoyang county lord's mansion cannot be completed in ten days or eight days.

And Li County Magistrate also had such celebrities in politics, one Lu Daxiong and one Chen Xingyan, also fell into the eyes of the emperor and were directly promoted to the capital.

County Magistrate Li was originally from a family, and being sent to Gaoyang County was nothing more than an inevitable step to experience.

Who would have thought that his luck was so good that not only a general but also a county head came out under his rule.

It wasn't just him who benefited, but also Chen Xinglou who worked in the Imperial Academy.

Also because of the honor of the two of them, and because he was indeed talented, he was directly transferred to the household department by the emperor, and served as a fifth-rank member wailang.

Although the official ranks of these five ranks are not high, they can't stand up to Chen Xinglou's rapid promotion!

It's only been a few years since I won Tanhua, and I'm already an official of the fifth rank. The number one scholar back then is now only the sixth rank.

When Lu Daxiong's class teacher returned to the court, the emperor was very happy, and after seeing him in person, he was even more happy.

Such a young and heroic general, it can be seen that their Dazhi is also a talented person!

Because of Lu Daxiong's great contribution, he captured King Yanling alive, and he, together with a dozen of his sons, did not run away, and all of them were arrested and sent to Beijing. This contribution is not insignificant.

The emperor has no rewards for General Song. Except for some gold and silver treasures, it is impossible for this official to be promoted again.

But this Lu Daxiong, the emperor simply named him the second-rank General Zhennan.

This is really jumping up.

When General Song returned to Beijing, Lu Daxiong was only a fourth-rank general.

In the past few months, he has been directly promoted to the second rank!

It all sounds scary.

However, no one can deny his military exploits, especially when some old ministers mentioned that Zhen Wenzhuo coveted his merits, which caused Lu Daxiong to become unknown. After many years, the emperor felt even more ashamed of this Zhennan general.

Lu Daxiong proposed to go back to his hometown to visit relatives, and the emperor naturally agreed.

Not only that, Lu Daxiong didn't accept the letter of invitation, so the emperor's decree was issued directly.

Lu Daxiong's mother, Mrs. Wang, was granted the title of Cong Erpin's Madam, and was bestowed with numerous brocades and brocades.

As for Lu Daxiong's wife, Chen Xingyan, she was conferred the title of second-rank wife, and also rewarded a lot of gold and silver treasures.

When the news spread back to Lujia Village, it can be said that the whole village was boiling.

Especially the old village head, thinking that his nephew has become a great general, and even made his adoptive mother a wife, this is simply the great glory of the Lu family!

Because of Lu Daxiong's return, the Lu family has completely become a famous family in Dongping Mansion.

Lu Daxiong's branch originally had quite a few talented people, but now that Lu Xiaoniu has become a scholar, it can be regarded as an embarrassment to the Lu family, and Lu Daxiong's daughter-in-law is also the head of the county and the wife of the imperial court. This is simply the most honorable woman in Gaoyang County.

When the village head was happy, he couldn't help but stroked his beard and said, "Old sister-in-law, do I still have to salute?"

Wang laughed loudly and said, "No matter how powerful I am, I'm still Lu's wife. No matter how capable my big bear is, I'm still from Lu's family. Don't worry, we won't forget our roots."

Seven days later, Lu Daxiong hurried back to Lujia Village.

Looking at the little daughter-in-law whose voice and appearance have not changed, and then looking at the little milk baby in Mother Lou's arms, Lu Daxiong feels at ease.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"

Having a wife and children is enough for this life!
A month later, Lu Sanbao officially entered the army and became a personal guard of General Zhennan, a fifth-rank school lieutenant.

Lu Xingwang became the inspector of the Gaoyang County Inspection Department, and Lu Xiaoliu became the deputy housekeeper of the county lord's mansion, following Chen Youchang around.

Lu Xiaoniu married Chen Keren, a young lady of the Chen family, and the grand ceremony of the wedding can be said to have attracted the envy of everyone in Gaoyang County.

Chen Xinghan was married to a scholar by Chen Ke as early as a year ago.

Now Chen Xinghan is also pregnant, but the scholar's family background is average, barely able to survive.

Chen Kexicai, after learning that his daughter was pregnant, decided to take his daughter and son-in-law to live in Chen's residence.

After everything was settled, Lu Daxiong had to return to Beijing to report on his work.

As the second-rank Zhennan General appointed by the emperor himself, it is impossible for him to stay idle at home all the time.

Now that Jiangnan is settled down, the Chen family moved back to Jiangnan the next month after discussing it.

Chen Xinghe also won the provincial examination in the following year, but after two more failed examinations, he gave up the scientific examination and entered the government school to teach and educate people.

Soon after returning to Jiangnan, Mrs. Liu fell ill. In order not to affect the future of her children, Chen Ke spent a lot of money to keep Mrs. Liu in suspense until she passed away ten years later.

At this time, Chen Xinglou was already a member of the third rank in the imperial court, even if Ding You was needed, he was not worried that there would be no hope of returning to the imperial court.

After living in the capital with his wife for 12 years, Lu Daxiong took the initiative to resign and return to his hometown to provide for the elderly.

The emperor refused, so Lu Daxiong kept saying that he was sick and refused to go to court.

In desperation, the emperor reached an agreement with him that he must return to the battlefield without hesitation should the court need it.

Although Lu Daxiong has returned to his hometown, he still has his official position, so he went back to his hometown along the way, but he was harassed by many people.

Another five years later, Lu Laohan and Wang died of illness one after another.

The two brothers Lu Daxiong and Lu Xiaoniu have never separated their families throughout their lives.

It was not until Lu Daxiong was dying that he distributed thousands of acres of land, more than a dozen shops, four houses, and 8 taels of silver to Lu Xiaoniu and his children.

On the day when Lu Daxiong died of illness, Chen Xingyan died together with him, and they were buried together in the back mountain of Lujia Village.

When Lu Daxiong passed away, Lu Xiaoniu fainted several times while crying, and died of illness two years later.
