Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 421

"Thank you, husband!" Gong Yinglian said.

Feng Yao smiled and glanced at Cao Yanran on the other side. Cao Yanran and Sun Shangxiang were still together, chatting and laughing with each other.

"Shang Xiang, go and see what Zhu'er and the others are busy with. If there is nothing urgent, you can arrange some vacant rooms!" Feng Yao urged.

Sun Shangxiang nodded and stepped back.

"Yao'er, is anyone coming? I've never seen you worry about family affairs so much!" Madam Feng asked.

"Mother, my child is just about to tell you that Lingqi's mother is on her way, and she will be there in an hour at most!" Feng Yao said.

Mrs. Feng was startled, then she showed an excited smile, and said: "That's great, mother will prepare a table of the best meals right away, this is the first meeting between mother and in-laws, we can't lose our family Etiquette!" After saying that, he had dropped his work, didn't care about what to say, hurried to the back kitchen, called a few maidservants, and went to work.

"Husband! My mother is really coming?" Lu Lingqi was so excited that she wanted to get up from the kang.

"Well, but, Lingqi! Don't get excited!!" Feng Yao hastily went to help Lu Lingqi, fearing that she would fall.

At this time, Gong Yinglian and Cao Yanran each showed joy, and they didn't care about the embroidery, and looked at Feng Yao eagerly.

"Come here!" Feng Yao was worried that the three girls would be excited, so he immediately waved to the two maidservants standing at the door.

Two maidservants came over to help take care of her. After a while, the expressions of the three women calmed down a little.

Feng Yao said: "Lingqi, Yinglian, Yanran, you wait here, don't get excited, lest you get pregnant, I have to go out of the city immediately to bring my mother-in-law over!"

The three women nodded and watched Feng Yao go out reluctantly.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Yang Wu, Han Shuang, and Xia Houbo had already led more than two hundred relatives to accompany the marquis at the gate of the mansion, and the horses were all ready. The horse neighed, hooves were loud, and it went straight to the north gate of the city.

Everything went smoothly afterwards. Mrs. Yan moved into Taolin Mansion and was warmly welcomed by Mrs. Feng. The two wives talked very happily, and the whole Taolin Mansion was full of festive atmosphere.

Mrs. Yan had already made a decision when she came this time, and she would not go back until Lu Lingqi gave birth and waited on her grandson for the full moon. In addition, she brought Feng Yao a letter from Lu Bu, and answered Feng Yao's question about attacking Hanoi.

The next day
Already the third day of May

Feng Yao is now ready for everything, he only owes Meng Jian the good news! !

In the study, Feng Yao anxiously walked outside the door several times, looking towards the gate of the mansion, hoping to see Meng Jian as soon as possible.

The scouts kept sending back news about Meng Jian, which especially made Feng Yao impatient. If it wasn't for his status, Feng Yao really wanted to go out of the city quickly and see Meng Jian early!
"My lord! Let's go back to the study and wait! If Gongwei comes, I can guarantee that he will not even go home, but will come directly to see the lord!" Shi Tao, the magistrate of Runan County, persuaded.

Xu Shu was also a little excited. Back then, Xu Shu, Meng Jian, and Shi Tao were studying abroad together, and they joined Feng Yao together. The relationship between the three of them is very deep, and it is precisely because of this that Shi Tao is here, and It's not to assist Gong Du in the county mansion to deal with major affairs in the county! !

Feng Yao had no choice but to go back to the study, chatted with several people, and waited for more than a quarter of an hour before waiting for Meng Jian to welcome him out of the mansion.

Meng Jian's face was much thinner and thinner, but his eyes were several times brighter than before parting. Seeing Feng Yaoying leaving the house, he was suddenly excited, and fell on his knees, kneeling and clasping his fists.

"Congratulations, my lord, for being promoted to General Anton!!" Meng Jian took out the general's seal and appointment documents, held them up high, and congratulated loudly.

"Hahaha! Good!! Gongwei! You have worked hard this trip, so you don't need to be polite, just follow me back to the study and tell me the details!!" Feng Yao was overjoyed and rushed to help Meng Jian.

General Anton is already a heavy-ranked general, qualified to open a mansion, and is equipped with a gold seal with a yellow ribbon, which is two levels higher than the silver seal with a green ribbon of the state herdsman!More importantly, General Anton's permanent leader is no longer restricted!That is to say, from now on, regardless of whether Feng Yao is the governor of Yuzhou or not, all soldiers and horses in Yuzhou will be under the jurisdiction of Feng Yao, and even Feng Yao, a general who is lower than Feng Yao's level in Qingxuyan Sanzhou, has the right to manage indirectly!
Several people rushed to the study and sat down one by one, but Feng Yao calmed down now. Now that Meng Jian has returned safely, everything is settled, and there will be no further complications.

Meng Jian was eager to report the details to Feng Yao, but was held down by Feng Yao, and said: "Gongwei, I know you have worked hard all the way here, come, drink a few cups of tea first, and it will not be too late to quench your thirst! "

After a few cups of tea, Meng Jian's expression eased a lot, and his previously dry lips became rosy.

"Gongwei, what's the current situation in Chang'an City? Have you ever been in danger?" Feng Yao asked with concern as he stretched out his hand to caress Meng Jian's back.

"Thank you, my lord, Hong Fu. Although this trip was scary, it was safe! Everyone who went with me didn't suffer any casualties!" Meng Jian said movedly, and then took out another small silk bag from his bosom, holding it with both hands. Offer it up, and said: "Congratulations, my lord, you have been promoted to Marquis!"

Feng Yao's eyes flashed brightly, Daxi hurriedly took it, opened it, and saw a small golden seal shining, and a purple ribbon representing the most noble was tied on the gold seal!

"Congratulations, my lord!" Xu Shu, Yang Wu, and Shi Tao were also overjoyed and congratulated one after another.

The seals and ribbons of the Han Dynasty are divided into four materials: jade, gold, silver, and copper. Only the emperor can have the jade seal, and the gold seal is the most noble under the emperor.

The gold, silver, and copper seals are divided into four ribbons, purple is the most noble, followed by cyan, ink, and yellow ribbons.

Feng Yao looked at the printed words again: Marquis of Pingyuting.

"Hehe, that's great! It's the result of everyone's joint efforts to get this title!" Feng Yao looked at the expressions of the four people and knew that they all wanted to see and touch the gold seal with their own eyes. Pass it to Yang Wu first, let Yang Wu watch it, and pass it on to Xu Shu, Shi Tao, Meng Jian.

Although he is only a Tinghou, he already has a golden seal and a purple ribbon, which is a symbol of incomparable dignity. There are only a handful of people with foreign surnames who can be granted the title of Marquis! !
The Marquis of Ting is just less than the Marquis of Xiang and County, but Feng Yao doesn't care about it.

"Master Hou!"

"Master Hou!"

"...!" Xu Shu and the others clasped their fists to Feng Yao to congratulate.

In terms of status, Feng Yao's current triple status, the most honorable is the status of Liehou, followed by General An Dong, and finally Yuzhou State Mu, but in terms of real power, Zhou Mu is the largest, followed by General An Dong, and Lie Hou is the second. With Hou's status, he has almost no rights!

However, in the long run, the sons and grandchildren of Marquis can inherit the title of Lord Marquis, the position of General An Dong will only be promoted, which is not bad, and the state shepherd, as long as the imperial court orders him, he can transfer Feng Yao away at any time! !But don't worry about it now, Feng Yao is now General Anton, and it is generally impossible to transfer away from Yuzhou again!

"Hehe! Yuanzhi, Yang Wu, Gongwei, Guangyuan, you should call me the lord!" Feng Yao felt what it was like to be called the lord, and felt that the lord was more affectionate!
