Chapter 19 Eunuch Wu
In addition to the title, the emperor also specially rewarded her with an 800-acre farm outside Beijing and a large four-bedroom house in Yuhu Hutong, East Street.
In this capital city where every inch of land is precious, a four-in-one house, plus an 800-acre village in the outskirts of Beijing, are worth more than 20,000 taels of silver, which is more expensive than the dowry of a noble girl from a wealthy family.
Xia Zihan's heart was slightly excited, and she sincerely thanked him, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." He stretched out his hand to receive the order.
"County Master Chuyu, get up quickly." Eunuch Wu said with a smile.
Xia Zihan stood up and bowed to Eunuch Wu again, "Eunuch Wu, I'm so lucky."
"County Master Chuyu, you don't have to be polite. It's an honor for the Zajia family to run errands for the emperor." Eunuch Wu said a few polite words and then said, "The queen also has some rewards, which will be sent over with the house and land deeds later. ”
Every time the emperor issued a decree to confer a title to a general, the reward from the queen would follow.
This is called marrying the chicken and following the chicken, and the husband singing and the wife following.
"The Za family's decree has been announced, and it's time to return to the palace to deliver a message to the emperor."
The Chu family was having a funeral, and he couldn't stay long.
Mrs. Zeng quickly glanced at Lu Fangnen, the general manager of the Chu family, who took out two first-class red envelopes and gave them to Eunuch Wu.
Eunuch Wu was not polite, he accepted it with a smile, stuffed it into his arms, and bowed slightly to Mrs. Zeng, "Mrs. Chu, then the Za family will retire."
"Eunuch Wu, it's good to go," Zeng said, and then hurriedly ordered: "Bai Qing, you and Mr. Lu will see Eunuch Wu off."
"Eunuch Wu, please." Song Baiqing said with a flattering smile.
Eunuch Wu is a popular person in front of the emperor, and no matter how many people want to please him, he cannot be currying favor with him. Now that he has the opportunity to curry favor with him, he naturally wants to please him more.
After Eunuch Wu left, Mrs. Zeng's eyes were red and she said excitedly to Xia Zihan, "Go and tell your grandfather the good news. If your grandfather knows that you have received the emperor's favor, he will definitely know about it underground. Very happy." "Yes." Xia Zihan choked.
She was granted the title because of the emperor's respect for her grandfather.
My grandfather worked hard for Dahua Dynasty all his life, worked hard, worked hard, and made many great contributions.
When her grandfather passed away, the emperor wanted to grant the Chu family a title, but there were no heirs in his name and the Chu family had no heirs, so the emperor had no choice but to grant this favor to her.
It was her blessing and the emperor's grace to receive this title under the influence of her grandfather.
"Grandfather, look, this is the emperor's imperial edict to make me the Lord of Chuyu County." Xia Zihan knelt down in front of the soul and spread out the edict, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not disgrace this title. I will definitely I won’t embarrass you.”
Mrs. Zeng also knelt down beside her, "Old man, you should rest assured from now on." She took the pile of paper money brought by the servant woman, burned it quietly one by one, and shed tears. Lost, I feel happy and sad, a mixture of emotions.
She was the only one left in the Chu family now, and Yu Niang would have to go back to the Xia family sooner or later.
With the title of county head personally conferred by the emperor, after Yu Niang returns to the Xia family, she does not have to worry about Yu Niang being bullied by the Xia family.
When she leaves, she can leave with peace of mind.
Mrs. Zeng wiped away her tears, looked at Mr. Chu Ge's coffin, and said silently in her heart: Old man, the road is dark, please walk slower and wait for me.
Wait for me, I will go with you, you will be with me along the way, no matter how dark it is, we will not be afraid.
