Chapter 337 Award
The emperor said angrily, "It's not my daughter, how can I keep it for you? If you are fine, you can leave the palace!"
Prince Xiang is a bachelor, and he didn't go to the palace for nothing. He got up, patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, and pretended to salute the emperor, "Brother Huang, I'm leaving now!"
The emperor didn't bother to talk to him, turned his face away, and when he went out, he couldn't hear the little song he was humming, so the emperor complained, "Everything I like, there is no one that he won't grab. Why did you also fall in love with the girl from the Xie family?"
Lu Yan smiled slightly, and exchanged a cup of tea that the emperor hadn't touched, "Your Majesty, Miss Xie is very talented, has a good appearance, knows how to advance and retreat, and values friendship. This time I went to Juzhou, and I was with Chen County again." Together with Wang, it is reasonable for Prince Xiang to make this idea."
The emperor stood up angrily, and was about to go out with his hands behind his back, but he had to stop and asked, "Did that girl say when she will be back?"
"I calculated it, it will take about a month, and it is estimated to be in the middle and late February."
The emperor thought about it, "Arrange someone to report a letter to Xie's house, and also go to Fengzhi Palace to tell the queen, the queen has been thinking about that girl all the time. Just make a seal for the imperial decree. This time, the reward is just According to the usual double, it can't be too thin. The fief is counted as one thousand households."
There are already a lot of fiefdoms with a thousand households, and they can catch up with the special county king Chenjun.
The main reason is that now Xie Zhiwei is different from before. In the past, a county lord gave 300 households fiefs, which is understandable, but if it is thinner now, King Xiang will definitely not let it go. The emperor had to bear the pain and cut more meat.
Anyway, it is also a field where the fat and water do not flow to outsiders.
After the emperor left, Lu Yan came out of Linde Hall, and when he arrived at Donghua Gate, Li Baozhen came over with the notebook in his hands, "Master, this is the memorial that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince sent over from Juzhou City."
Lu Yan took the booklet, he opened it, took a look, closed it, and said to Li Baozhen, "Go to Xie's house yourself, and tell me that the county lord is safe and sound in Juzhou City. A batch of supplies will be shipped to Juzhou soon. City, if the Xie family has anything to send to the county lord, they can sort it out and send it together."
"yes!"
Since Xie Zhiwei went out, the door of Xie's house has been closed tightly. Xie Tiao is so busy that the treasury is empty now, even Juzhou City, an epidemic that was strangled in the cradle before it spread, cannot allocate money.
If Sibaozhai hadn't raised more than 100,000 taels of silver, and Lu Qiling from Shuntian Mansion had been able to do so, I'm afraid Xie Tiao, a clever woman, would be hard-pressed to cook without rice, whether it's medicinal materials or food.
In just over half a month, Xie Tiao's official uniform has loosened up a lot. He was settling accounts in the study, when he heard that Li Baozhen came, he hurriedly greeted him, "Eunuch, please come inside!"
"Master Xie, our family is here today, congratulations to Sir Xie in advance, and we will come to ask for a cup of wedding wine in the future."
Who is Dongchang? Where is the supervisor of ceremonies?
Xie Tiao, who was not showing any signs of happiness or anger, couldn't help smiling all over his face at this time, and cupped his hands to Li Baozhen, "Please tell me clearly, I don't know where this joy comes from?"
"Hahaha, it's just double happiness!" Li Baozhen didn't bother, and walked through the Yimen Gate with Xie Tiao and walked towards the main hall, "Master Xie, the county lord has done a great job this time. Today, the emperor let the governor The reward that the lord intends to give to the county lord will be completed when Juzhou City is unsealed."
The closure of the city was Xie Zhiwei's proposal. Naturally, Xie Zhiwei has the final say on when the lockdown will be lifted.
Xie Zhiwei found a prescription for this epidemic, and Xie Tiao didn't know it. Because there is an East Factory in the palace, it is natural for the emperor to know about it earlier, but he did not expect that once the emperor knew about it, he would already have the intention of rewarding him before the court meeting.
The focus is on the word "seal". For people like Xie Tiao, obedience and listening have become instinctive, so of course they won't miss it.
"Eunuch Li, this is all due to the great grace of the emperor!"
"What Master Xie said is true!" Seeing Xie Tiao's excited look, Li Baozhen didn't care, "Master Xie, the governor ordered our family to come because there will be supplies delivered to Juzhou City in the near future. If you have something to bring to the county magistrate, you can send it along."
Fearing that Xie Tiao would wrong the county magistrate for the sake of fame, Li Baozhen pointed out, "The county magistrate is a little girl's house. This time, she has made great achievements and suffered a great crime. In such a place, there is really nothing to eat. No drink, now that the crisis is over, our spoiled girl really doesn't have to wrong herself anymore."
"Yes, yes!" Xie Tiao thought of his granddaughter. The eldest daughter of the Xie family is now in a plague-ridden place like Juzhou City. Go and tell the eldest lady, tell the girl to count all the things, and bring all the things that can be brought to Juzhou City, don't wrong the eldest girl, "
"yes!"
The man went down, Li Baozhen sat for a while, then got up to leave. Before leaving, Xie Tiao stuffed a piece of high-quality Chinese jade in the past, Li Baozhen did not refuse, and repeatedly said that he would come to Xie's house to beg for a drink in the future.
Li Baozhen, the number two person in charge of ceremonies, has many people in the capital who want to buy him a drink. Will he lose a glass of wine? Moreover, every time he mentions Xie Zhiwei, he is the county lord. There are at least ten or eight county lords in the capital. If it weren't for his family, who would call him so close?
In this way, it means that Xie Zhiwei has cast his eyes on Dongchang. Unexpectedly, Lu Yan is still a person who knows how to repay his kindness.
The only reason Xie Tiao can think of is that Xie Zhiwei saved Lu Yan's life in Zhuangzi outside the city, so Lu Yan would take care of Xie Zhiwei everywhere. Xie Tiao would never have thought that it was because of the Xie family.
The Xie family has always kept these Dongchang people at a respectful distance.
Will not look down on them, but will not deliberately please.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xie Yuanbai went to the military camp, leaving early and returning late every day. Xie Mingxi officially entered the ethnology after the new year, and she also left early and returned late every day. Yuan was making shoes in the house, and complained to Mother Tian, "no wonder the daughter is said to be the mother's little padded jacket. Meimei these days Not at home, I seem to have lost my soul."
Nurse Tian sat on a small couch. She had just come back from the outside, stretched out her hand to dry on the smoker cage, and said with a smile, "Madam, there may be good news in the first month."
As soon as she said this, Yuan's face was already flushed. Last night, she was really thinking about Meimei, so she asked her to go to Juzhou City, but her husband disagreed. Unknowingly, his foot poked into the husband's bed, making him shiver from the cold.
