As the saying goes, good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

As soon as Nan Ke's front foot came out of Xianglan Courtyard, someone on the back foot spread the matter to Nangong Qin's ears.

As soon as she heard the report of her subordinates, she was very angry, and smashed the teacup in her hand at once.

She hasn't lost ground yet! Nanke's prostitute, who is so eager to hug the little slut's thighs?

Nangong Qin thought indignantly, and her whole body trembled slightly because of this.

Xu Ting hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her and said, "Mother, it's not worth being angry for that kind of wall grass." She was born as a geisha, so she can't make much waves! ”

"Besides, it's done. As long as you wait for your father to come back, you must let the prostitute know who is the real mistress of the Xu family! ”

Xu Ting's words and scolding were also ruthless enough.

Although Nanke was born as a geisha, she has always been a performer and not a geisha, and Xu Zhihuan cherished her talent, so she was carried into Xufu and made her own concubine.

In terms of position, Nangong Qin and Nanke are the same.

But Nangong Qin is the daughter of an innocent big family, and Xu Zhihuan is marrying back, so from the first day Nanke entered the mansion, he looked down on her in his heart.

It was Xu Ting who scolded hard enough, and every sentence entered Nangong Qin's heart, that she felt relieved some of the anger in her heart.

She nodded and said, "It's time for your brother to come back, as long as Feng'er comes back, our mother and daughter will be more sure, and we won't be afraid of other people's threats to us." ”

Xu Ting said yes again and again, and asked someone to immediately prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Nangong Qin hurriedly wrote a letter, but the content of the letter was written.

Xu Zhihuan has returned to Beijing, and Xu Feng, as the eldest son, cannot be absent, so it is only right to rush back from his parents' house as soon as possible.

After writing it, she asked the maid to send it out immediately, and she didn't delay for a while, and she must let Xu Feng come back within two days.

Looking at the back of the maid leaving in a hurry, the mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, only to feel that their hearts had settled down a lot.

......

The next day, Emperor Liang returned in order to reward Xu Zhihuan for his victory, and specially set up a banquet in the palace.

The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively, and the civil and military officials took turns to toast Xu Zhihuan, and there was a great posture of getting him drunk.

But Xu Zhihuan's amount of alcohol is said to be massive, which is really not a boast.

Many people toasted repeatedly, but his eyes were clear and his demeanor was not chaotic at all.

If it weren't for the slight flush on Xu Zhihuan's face, those courtiers who came to toast would have thought that the wine hadn't entered his stomach at all.

Seeing this, Yu Aodong also felt a lot of pride in his heart.

He stepped down from his throne and walked straight to Xu Zhihuan.

Xu Zhihuan was surprised, and when he wanted to salute, he was stopped by Yu Aodong.

"Alas! Today is your celebration feast, what do you want to do with such red tape. ”

With that, he turned to the chief eunuch and said, "Go, bring two bowls of the sea!" I want to have a few drinks with the general! ”

The chief eunuch immediately asked the little eunuch to fetch it, and he personally filled the two sea bowls and handed them to the emperor respectfully.

After Yu Aodong took it, he held the sea bowl and congratulated Xu Zhihuan: "Congratulations to the general on his victory." ”

Xu Zhihuan usually looks down on eunuchs the most, and thinks that they don't say anything weird when they speak, and they will only rely on playing tricks to make their masters happy.

Therefore, he was very unappreciative of this obvious overture, and only lightly thanked him, and did not even give the chief eunuch a straight eye.

It was not the first time that the chief eunuch had encountered such a nail, but he smiled undiminished, and waited by the side with a humble attitude.

Once the monarch and the minister drank it all, the steward and eunuch were very discerning and poured it again and again.

The two drank very happily, Yu Aodong patted the general's shoulder, and said with some emotion: "Aiqing is going, it's really hard work!" Look at you came back from a big victory, but there were a lot of vicissitudes on your face. ”

Xu Zhihuan hurriedly said: "This is the duty of being a courtier, and Weichen alone does not dare to take credit." ”

"Good, good!"

Yu Aodong said as he turned and walked towards the throne.

The eunuch in charge immediately came over and followed him to stand beside Emperor Liang.

Sure enough, Yu Aodong wanted to be rewarded.

"Spread my will, this time in the battle with Nanyan, all the soldiers of the three armies are warriors, and the salary will be tripled, and they will be allowed to go home to visit relatives. The rest of the rewards are determined by the Ministry of Rites, and the rewards must be judged for meritorious deeds. ”

Xu Zhihuan left his seat and bowed deeply towards Emperor Liang.

"On behalf of the soldiers of the three armies, I thank Your Majesty for your gift."

Yu Aodong laughed, "This is not over, Aiqing is the commander of the three armies, and I want to personally reward you." ”

To the surprise of the ministers present, Emperor Liang not only personally named him a "mighty general", but also rewarded several places outside the city, and other rewards were hundreds.

These actions will inevitably make others red, and in this way, Xu Zhihuan's position in the DPRK and China will be unshakable.

After Xu Zhihuan thanked him, all the ministers congratulated the "mighty general" of the new volume.

Emperor Liang even issued an order to let the eunuch in charge go to Xufu to read the decree in person.

The people of Xufu got the news that the emperor wanted to reward the Xu family, and waited in the mansion early.

Nangong Qin and Xu Ting don't have to be under house arrest for the time being, and when they receive the order, Nangong Qin, as the main mother, will be the first to greet them.

And Xu Zhilan followed, everyone with their own thoughts, waiting for the holy decree to come.

The steward eunuch dismounted, and everyone in the Xu Mansion bowed to the ground, and then he took out the holy decree, unfolded it, and sang the list.

"General Xu Zhihuan has made meritorious contributions to quelling the chaos, and he will be rewarded-"

He lengthened his voice and titheed the reward.

"Ten thousand taels of gold, a hundred horses of brocade. A pair of night pearls in the East China Sea, agarwood bracelets into a plate, two pairs of jade rings, a white jade pendant of Liuyun Baifu, a mink end cover, a pair of four seasons screens, a pair of malachite landscape inserts, a pair of eight treasure flat bottles, a smoked mink crown, a pair of white jade Linglong flat squares, a pair of green jade double beast double earring bottles......"

The people behind the chief eunuch, Tingci, brought in the large wooden boxes containing the rewarded items one by one.

Watching a group of mermaids running in and out of Xufu, many people were proud and looking forward to it.

The rewards include what you wear, what you use, and what you see...... There is everything, which fully shows the immensity of the emperor.

The exception is Xu Zhilan.

She was very unaccustomed to kneeling, but she could only admit it.

But the list was too long, and no one could get up until the chief eunuch finished reading it.

The knee knelt on the hard ground, and it didn't take long for him to feel unbearable pain.

Fortunately, Xiaomei doesn't have to suffer this kind of sin.

She thought so in her heart, thinking about when it would be over, and she was not as happy as others.

After the chief eunuch read it, he closed the holy decree and handed it over to Nangong Qin.

Nangong Qin took it respectfully, and then stood up, and the people behind him got up with him.

Xu Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief, the ancient etiquette is really unacceptable to a modern person.
