The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, Uncle Zhongqin finally left the palace with his two sons, and returned home in a happy spring.

Following him to declare the decree was Xia Hongdi's chief eunuch, Eunuch Cheng.

Uncle Zhongqin has been promoted, oh no, he has been promoted to noble, Zhongqinhou (first waiting, 2000 taels at the age of year, super grade), three generations will not attack.

In addition to this, the emperor also appointed Yuan Wenjie, the eldest son of Zhongqinhou, as the son of the world.

Cuihua, of course, was also promoted from Mrs. Uncle to Mrs. Hou (Mrs. Chao Yipin, 500 taels of annual tribute).

Xia Hongdi couldn't wait, Tianshun announced the good news again and again on the Lunar New Year's Day of the ninth year. His lovers are so outstanding, they must be rewarded immediately!
In addition to Heiwa, Gao Huaiyu also won the title of Marquis of Jinghaihou.

The Duke of Wei's mansion is in the limelight at the moment, one family has two titles, and the first one in the Great Xia Dynasty.

But the title of the family really risked their lives, and they had to go to sea for a few years before getting it back. Who dares to have an opinion?Who can have an opinion!

Huang Shangshu will definitely be able to hold the position of Shangshu for a few more years, and Xia Hongdi also rewarded him with 3000 taels of gold, precious stones and pearls.

Master Yan's heavy reward was not left behind, and it must be the first among the masters of the Guozijian from now on.

Shangguan imperial physician didn't pay much attention to things outside his body, so Xia Hongdi decisively rewarded him with a cart of extremely rare medicinal materials and an old sandalwood Buddha sculpture.

There is an old mother who is nearly 80 years old in the family of Shangguan Taiyi, but she has been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for many years. The top-quality old sandalwood Buddha statue was sent to the old lady's heart.

At noon, the main gate of Uncle Zhongqin's mansion was opened wide, and incense tables were placed in the hall. Uncle Zhongqin put on his official uniform, and the whole mansion knelt down with both legs straight, with their upper body straight, and respectfully listened to the imperial decree read out by Chief Manager Cheng.

"Congratulations to Lord Zhongqin, congratulations to Lord Zhongqin!"

"Happy, happy, hard work has become the manager! Thank you for your kindness!"

The newly released Marquis Zhongqin stuffed a small purse into Manager Cheng, which contained eight gems.

This reward is really unusually generous, Manager Cheng smiled and narrowed his eyes, very satisfied.

After Manager Cheng left, everyone was beaming with joy. They never expected that this title could be promoted again, and it could be promoted so quickly. It has only been eight years!
Old Yuan Tou pulled Hei Wa to wipe away tears, and was so excited that he was incoherent: "This year's [-]th, we, we have to sacrifice three animals to our ancestors, thank our ancestors for blessing you, and keep you safe."

"Father, I listen to you, I listen to you." The daughter-in-law has told him more than once that Lao Yuantou has a lot of worries in the past few years. He kowtows to his ancestors every year and remembers him. This is because he really cares about him. dear father.

"Our Marquis Mansion, this month we will pay twice the reward!" In addition to the mistress's three salaries, another two salaries came, and the servants rushed to tell each other, ouch, they are going to make another small fortune.

The little girl and the boys are all grown-ups in their early teens now, and many of them can be of great use.

All of them have a lot of money from their own houses. The Hou Mansion hasn't bought a newcomer in these years. They are so lucky.

Everyone walked with their heads held high and their chests held high, proud of being servants and maids of the Zhongqinhou Mansion.

If it weren't for the Chinese New Year coming soon, according to the old Yuantou's urination, he could go back to Dali Village to set up a running water mat for a few days.

One is to celebrate his son's safe return home, and the other is to inform relatives and friends that his son has become a Marquis!
In the stable, a group of boys were still watching, the two big black horses brought back by Master Hou.

The one-year-old horses have black and shiny hair like brocade. Their heads are slightly short and wide, wedge-shaped, and their eyes are particularly large and protruding. They look very gentle when looking at them.

"Look, look! This big food horse is too handsome, oh, it's even more handsome than Fifth Young Master's Hei Hei!"

"Be careful. Steward Zhao said that this horse is worth a thousand gold. We have to take good care of it."

Not only the boys are watching, but all the old and young men in the house don't want to come and see, men, no matter how big or small, who doesn't love horses?

After explaining the follow-up arrangements after the canonization, Hei Wa finally had time to start sorting out the items brought back.

"Father, father, open the box quickly, I want to see the baby!" Yuan Wentao couldn't wait, if Cuihua pressed him, it would cause trouble to the sky.

He and his elder brothers have all blown their horns, but father and elder brother and second elder brother have been in the palace for many days before returning home, and the baby is only now seen.

No matter how good the big food horse is, there is no such thing as his in vain and close relationship!

"Don't worry, don't worry, Dad brought you two big boxes!" Hei Wa looked at the serial numbers of a bunch of boxes for a while before picking out the big box for his sons' presents.

For the two youngest sons, he brought various handicrafts, some made of ostrich shells, some carved with rhinoceros horn or ebony
"Move them all back to my room, I'll play with my brother!"

"Son, don't you want to give some to the third, fourth, seventh and eldest sister? There are two big boxes!" Hei Wa felt quite a headache for the youngest son's stingy temper, and wanted to break it from time to time.

Yuan Wentao rolled his eyes: "Father, wait for my brother and I to choose carefully, and choose the most interesting ones for them!"

"You think it's fun, can eldest sister like it?"

"Sure, my eldest sister likes bright colors, so I'll give this big ball to her!" He picked up the ostrich shell painting in a separate box, but he couldn't bear to look at it. The monkey painted on it was so cute. pinch.

"Yeah, this big sister may not like it, I'm choosing carefully, choosing." He ran away in a hurry, asking the boy who helped carry the box to hurry up and hurry up.

The couple can't laugh or cry, hey!Little stingy, don't know who to follow!
The couple continued to tidy up, large gemstones, top-quality spices, rare leather, coral taller than a person, bird's nest, etc., all of which had already been received by Heiwa into the space.

Making a fortune in a low-key manner is the code of conduct for the couple for two lifetimes.

Hei Wa gave Lao Yuantou and Ma Shi a box of gems and a box of leather, as well as some spices and medicinal materials.

The most special thing is that I brought some rosewood the size of a bowl to Lao Yuantou.

The red sandalwood from Tianzhu, also known as chicken blood red sandalwood, belongs to the best of the best, and it was also rare in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Compared with other treasures, the old Yuan Tou, who has been a carpenter for most of his life, touched and touched a few pieces of wood. Looking at them, they are closer than his grandson.

Lao Yuan took Hei Wa by the head and asked him to explain the origin of these items in detail. He listened with great interest, sometimes patting his legs and sometimes laughing.

Mrs. Ma didn't understand the happiness of old Yuantou. She looked at the palm-sized box and smiled from ear to ear.

Inside the box, there must be about [-] colorful thumb-sized gemstones.

She is no longer a village woman who has never seen the world, how can she not see the preciousness of gems?
Yuan Lao Er, Yuan Lao San, and Hei Wa each gave a Jiabia (dagger) bought back by the Dashi Empire.

Dashi's dagger has a wider blade with a protruding sword spine in the middle.

Not only is it extremely sharp, the handle of the knife is made of rhinoceros horn, and the leather of the scabbard is also inlaid with gemstones, which is extremely gorgeous.

The two brothers are so rare that they don't know what to do. These treasures can be used for collection and family heirloom.

Who would be willing to use it?Their eldest brother can send gifts to their hearts.

The nephews and nieces of the Yuan family each have ten gems the size of a thumb and ten pearls the size of quail eggs.

Their uncles packed these in such simple purses, two purses per person.

The only female doll in the family got ten more pearls from her uncle.

The eldest sister was holding three purses in both hands, she was smiling so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she turned around and handed them to her mother.

The Fan sisters only hate that they have so few children, the children and their uncles are so generous, a purse is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver if they are sold.

What was even more unexpected was that the girl doll could actually get an extra purse.

Thinking of the incident when my brother and sister-in-law came to the uncle's mansion, my man gave them a good face for half a year, and was trembling.

I can't wait to give myself a slap, how could I be so soft at that time!
Hou's mansion, now their mansion is nothing!
When the three heads and four heads grow up to the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, they are all old, so why are they afraid of the little daughter-in-law? !

How can Cuihua care about the rich inner drama of her sisters-in-law, there are so many miscellaneous boxes.

Some of the smaller pearls and gems, ivory handicrafts, leather and cotton cloth, pepper and spices were kept in the warehouse, and some were distributed to the female relatives and several nuns in charge.

Date palms are used as snacks, and relatives can share ten catties among the family.

Hei Wa still has to give presents to his father-in-law's house, and his eldest sister's house can't be left behind either.

A good son-in-law, Hei Wa, really doesn't favor one person over another. There is no difference between what is given to his mother-in-law and what is given to Mrs. Ma.

What I brought to my father-in-law were several tiger skins from Tianzhu. These tiger skins were nine feet long.

"Well, this tiger in Tianzhu is too big, the bare skin is so long, it's amazing!" There is no hunter who does not care about tiger skins, and his son-in-law brought them back from overseas so far.

Each of the three uncles also got a Gabia, and they all expressed their rarity.

The nephews and nieces of the father-in-law's family, even Shunbao, who was only a few months old, received generous gifts of gems and pearls from his uncle, and girls still had an extra set of pearls.

They also brought a lot of pepper, spices, and cotton cloth for the three families to divide among themselves.

Fan Jingjing hugged her son, and it was also the first time she met her brother-in-law.

The Hu family didn't have the rules of so many big families. When the son-in-law came to the door, the whole family, young and old, came to welcome him.

In the midst of the bustle and bustle, she looked at her brother-in-law who was bright and generous, and nodded secretly, she was worthy of her sister.

Xiao Shan is as tall as Hei Wa now, and he smirked: "Uncle, we will follow you back to the mansion later, and we won't be listening to the younger brothers telling stories until the Chinese New Year is over."

"Hmm, Uncle, have Brother Wenjie and Brother Wenwu written travel notes? It's been almost three years, and it takes a few million words to count!" Xiao Chuan didn't want to wait until after the New Year to listen, and his heart was itching.

"Hahaha, go home, go with uncle's house, we all just came out of the palace at noon today!"

Xiaocao and Xiaohua generously thanked their uncle again and again. Today is the most important gift they have received in their more than ten years of life.

Xiao Lian and Xiao He chattered and talked sweetly like they don't need money, which made Hei Wa laugh out loud.

Heiwa: Gemstones are really good things, both adults and children are rare, they are easy to hold and don’t take up space!
