The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 372 Marquis Zhongqin

Master Yan's generous reward was not missed either.

From then on, he must also be the first among the Imperial College disciples.

Shangguan imperial doctor did not value external things, so Xia Hongdi decisively rewarded him with a cart of extremely rare medicinal materials and an old sandalwood Buddha sculpture.

Shangguan Imperial Physician's family has an old mother who is nearly eighty years old, but she has fasted and chanted Buddha's name for many years.

The top-quality old sandalwood Buddha statue given by the Holy Emperor was delivered to the heart of the old lady.

At noon, the main entrance of Zhongqin Bo's Mansion opened wide.

The incense table was placed in the hall, and Uncle Zhongqin put on his marquis uniform.

The whole government knelt down with their legs folded and their upper bodies straight, listening respectfully to the edict read out by General Manager Cheng.

"Congratulations to Marquis Zhongqin, congratulations to Marquis Zhongqin!"

"Congratulations, thank you for your hard work and becoming the general manager! Thank you for your help!"

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

This reward is truly unusually generous!

Manager Cheng narrowed his eyes and was very satisfied.

After Manager Cheng left, the young and old of the Yuan family beamed with joy.

I never thought that the title of this first-class earl could be promoted again?
And it can be promoted so quickly, it has only been eight years!
Lao Yuantou pulled Heiwa to wipe his tears and was so excited that he could not speak coherently:

"This year is the 30th, we, we have to continue to offer three sacrifices to our ancestors. Thank you ancestors for blessing you and keeping you safe."

"Dad, I will listen to you, I will listen to you." Hei Wa agreed hastily.

His wife had told him more than once that Lao Yuantou had been worried about a lot in recent years, and every year he would burn incense and kowtow to his ancestors in memory of him.

This is his biological father who really cares about him.

Facing a large group of servants and maids who knelt down to congratulate him, Marquis Zhongqin waved his hand: "Our Marquis Mansion will double the reward this month!"

Yes, on top of the mistress’s three salaries, there’s another two salaries!
The servants rushed around to tell each other, oh oh, they are going to make a small fortune again.

The little girl and the little boy are now older children in their early ten years, and many of them are of great use.

Over the years, everyone has saved a lot of personal money!

The Hou Mansion has not bought any new people in recent years. They are so lucky.

Everyone walked with their heads held high and their chests held high, feeling proud to be servants and maids of the Zhongqin Hou Mansion.

If it weren't for the Chinese New Year coming soon, according to Old Yuan Tou's urine, he would have gone 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 tell 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 the Marquis.

The horse is already one year old, and its hair is as black and shiny as brocade.

Their heads, foreheads are slightly shorter, wider, and wedge-shaped, and their eyes are particularly large and protruding. They look at them with a very gentle expression.

"Look, look! This big food horse is so handsome, oh, even more handsome than the fifth young master's black one!"

"You should be more careful. Butler Zhao said that this horse is worth thousands of gold. We must take good care of it."

Not only the servants gathered around to watch, but also all the young and old men in the house came to watch.

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 he brought back.

"Dad, dad, open the box quickly, I want to see the treasure!" Yuan Wentao (Liu Tou) has been impatient for a long time. If it weren't for the pressure of Cuihua, he would have made trouble in the sky. He and his brothers were all boasting, but their father, eldest brother and second brother went to the palace for many days before returning home, and now they can see the baby.

No matter how good Da Shima is, he can't be as close as he is in vain!

"Don't worry, don't worry, dad brought you two big boxes!" Heiwa looked at the numbers on the pile of boxes for a long time before picking out the big box containing gifts for his sons.

For his two younger sons, he brought various handicrafts, including ones made from ostrich shells, and others carved from rhinoceros horn or ebony.
"Move everyone back to my room, and I will play with my brother!"

"Son, why don't you give some to your third brother, fourth brother, seventh brother and sister? Dad bought two big boxes!"

Hei Wa is troubled by her youngest son's stingy temperament and wants to break it off from time to time.

Yuan Wentao's eyes rolled: "Dad, let my brother and I pick out the most interesting ones for them!"

Cuihua slapped his butt: "You think it's funny, will eldest sister like it?"

"That's for sure. My eldest sister likes colorful things, so I'll give this big ball to her!"

Yuan Wentao picked up the painted ostrich shell in a separate box, but he couldn't bear to part with it. The monkey painted on it was so cute.

"Hmm, this eldest sister may not like it. I'll choose carefully, choose." He ran away in a flash.

He also urged the boy who helped carry the box to hurry up and hurry up.

The couple couldn't laugh or cry, hey! I'm so stingy, I don't know who I followed!
The couple continued to organize.

Large gems, top-quality spices, rare leathers, corals as tall as a person, bird's nests, etc., these have long been received by Hei Wa in the space.

Keeping a low profile and getting rich has been the couple's code of conduct throughout their lives.

On the surface, what was brought back was mainly used for giving away and replenishing the large warehouse of the mansion.

Hei Wa gave Old Yuan Tou and Ma Shi a small box of various gemstones, a large box of leather, and some spices and medicinal materials.

The most special thing is that I brought a few bowl-sized pieces of rosewood to Lao Yuantou.

Tianzhu's rosewood, also known as chicken-blood rosewood, is the best of the best and was rare in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Compared with other treasures, a few pieces of wood made Lao Yuan, who had been a carpenter for most of his life, touch and touch them. He looked at them more dearly than his grandson.

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

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

Inside the box, there must be about thirty colorful thumb-sized gems.

Now she is no longer a village woman who has never seen the world. How can she not see the value of gems?
She was thinking about how many gems she would leave for her eldest sister to use as the bottom of the box.
Yuan Lao Er, Yuan Lao San, and Hei Wa each gave them a Gabia (dagger) bought by the Dashi Empire.

Dashi's dagger has a wider blade and a protruding 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 gems, making it look extremely gorgeous.

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

Who would be willing to use it?

Their eldest brother can send gifts to their hearts.

All the nephews and nieces each received ten thumb-sized gemstones and ten colorful deep-sea pearls the size of quail eggs.

Their uncle packed these in such a simple purse, two purses per person.

The eldest sister, the only girl in the family, also received twenty pearls from her uncle.
