The Liu family in the capital.

It had just begun autumn, but the temperature was still very high, and in the outer courtyard, Liu Delong and Niu Danian were playing chess in the shade.

Niu Danian is Niu Zhuang's father, just an ordinary military household, and he was also a member of the Beijing camp in his early years, and he didn't know a single big character.

But it is the same as the bull stick mallet, honest and straightforward, which is quite appreciated by Liu Delong, so that he temporarily took over as the manager of Liu's house.

Liu Delong's thinking is very simple, the account room is managed by his daughter-in-law, although Lao Niu is not illiterate, but he is reliable, much more reliable than those flamboyant tongues!

Besides, there are only ten people in his Liu family, and there are always two small banners of brocade guards stationed around the Liu Mansion, but no matter how these men persuade them, they refuse to enter the courtyard even if they drink saliva.

Since Liu Hong's assassination, Jin Yiwei has always paid great attention to the safety of Liu's mansion, after all, his own adults have offended too many people......

Although Lao Xiucai got an errand for the treasure banknote division, but it was an idle errand, at the beginning he also rushed to the yamen to sit on duty, but the treasure money division has been idle for a long time, and the colleagues on duty are also related to him who have been favored.

After working for a few days, Lao Xiucai went to the countryside and followed the customs, and when he was free, he went to the yamen to doze off and show his face, or went to the pharmacy of Wang Er Mazi on the street to sit for a while.

Since Wang Er Mazi was beaten twice by his son, not only did he not hold a grudge, but he also politely called him the master every time, and it was no longer the old Liu Lao Liu called before.

And this old boy has a smiling face, and he speaks well, but his voice seems to be much sharper than before, and he seems to have an awkward quarrel with his insiders, and he just lives in a pharmacy all day, somehow.

Lao Xiucai recently regained his old hobby, and he taught Niu Danian to play chess in the outer courtyard when he had nothing to do, although his own chess skills were also very bad, but Niu Danian was a novice, and the old man was also happy to do it.

"Madam, you are pregnant, just leave these rough jobs to me, the master has been going to the border for a few days, and there is no letter, Shanhaiguan is so far away and there are frequent wars, I don't know what happened to them......"

Sun Xiuxiu was taking care of the garden in the backyard, and Xiaolan handed Sun Xiuxiu a pair of scissors and said.

On the shelves built with thin bamboo poles in the garden, green cucumbers hung on the branches, Sun Xiuxiu took the scissors, cut off a few fresh cucumbers that were already half a foot long and handed them to Xiaolan behind him.

"No news is the best news, Xiaolan doesn't have to worry about them, their men are born to do big things, if you nest at home every day, you should dislike your family and not want to make progress, right?"

Sun Xiuxiu took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead, he knew that Xiaolan was worried that her master was secondary, after all, she was a newlywed, and she thought she missed her husband a little.

"Madame, you're making fun of the slave again!" Seeing that her wife saw her careful thoughts, Xiaolan turned around shyly.

"Don't worry, the master is such a smart person, he will eat anything, he just won't suffer, let's just wait for them to triumph at home, don't worry about the rest, go and send the cucumber to Sister Hong!"

Xiaolan took the cucumber and walked towards the kitchen, leaving only Sun Xiuxiu to sigh softly and gently stroke her stomach.

Husband, do you know you're going to be a father? You must return safely, otherwise Xiuxiu will not spare you when you get below......

She is the wife of the Liu family and the master of the inner courtyard, even if she is worried in her heart, she can't mess up, she can only pretend to be relaxed, and who knows how many tears of longing she will leave in the inevitable night.

"Madam, there is an official errand outside, it seems to be from the palace, the old lady asked you to come over!" Not long after leaving, Xiaolan trotted in from outside.

Someone from the palace? Is the news coming from the husband? Sure, is it a good thing, or is it ...... After all, there is a war going on at the border, and anything can happen!

It's not about yourself, it's about yourself, Sun Xiuxiu couldn't care about the previous dignity at the moment, tidied up her clothes, and walked out quickly.

"Liu Delong and Sun Xiuxiu take the order!" The person in charge of delivering the message was Wang Erxi, an old acquaintance of the Liu family.

"Fengtian carried the emperor, and said: An Guobo Liu Hong gradually went to the border in the year of the weak crown, solved the worries of the Ming Dynasty, destroyed more than 20,000 slaves, and raised the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and I was very relieved.

Reward 20,000 taels of silver, his father Liu Delong, for my Ming Dynasty achievements pillars, special edict Feng Yi doctor, his wife Sun Xiuxiu, full of loyalty, heartfelt commendable, named the second grade of the order, given to walk in the palace.

Liu Aiqing has reached the weak crown, I give him the word blessing, and when Liu Aiqing triumphs, I should personally give him a crown salute, admire this! ”

After listening to Wang Erxi's duck-like reading, Lao Xiucai was a little blindsided, and dared to love Liu Laohan and was promoted again? My son like a loser destroyed tens of thousands of slaves? The emperor personally gave my son a crown salute?

A series of rewards kept Lao Xiucai on the spot.

"Boss, why don't you get the order and thank you soon?" The whole family knelt in the courtyard and was stunned, Wang Erxi was not surprised, when did he go to An Guobo's house and not find a moth?

"The old minister thanked the emperor for the dog, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Lao Xiucai woke up suddenly and hurriedly thanked him.

The doctor and the edict are all loose ranks, and there is no real job, but it represents the emperor's favor, and countless civil servants in the court have been mixed with the honor that they can't get until they return to their hometowns for a lifetime, and they have given him this old man who doesn't do anything, how can this not make Lao Xiucai excited?

Sun Xiuxiu also cried with joy and helped her father.

She doesn't care about the money and the fate, as long as her husband can be safe outside, she is willing to give up everything.

"Father-in-law is hard, this is a little heart, please smile at my father-in-law!" Lao Xiucai took out a piece of broken silver from his waist and handed it to Wang Erxi.

"Lord Ha, our family is not an outsider anymore, An Guobo solves problems for the emperor for the Ming Dynasty, and now the court and the central government are spreading the achievements of the uncle, how can our family still do this! Don't be embarrassed for our family, my lord! ”

Wang Erxi studied under Wang Chengen and was an honest eunuch who worked hard for the emperor.

"Thanks to the emperor's love, my Liu family can be loyal to the country, this is a little meaning, father-in-law don't want to resign, last time father-in-law confiscated it, we can't break the rules, this time we must take ......"

Since his son was struck by lightning, his old Liu family has never lacked silver, and when he saw that the little father-in-law resigned, Lao Xiucai did not follow.

“…… In this way, our family will be disrespectful......" Seeing that Lao Xiucai was not joking, the corners of Wang Erxi's mouth twitched twice, and he took this "huge amount" - about a tael......

Instructed the two rows of small yellow doors behind him to move a plate of silver covered with red silk into the courtyard, and handed over the edict document and the edict brocade robe to the maidservant Xiaolan with great importance.

"Boss, it's not early, our family has to go to the palace to resume their lives, so we won't bother the adult's family, and our family will retire!" Wang Erxi bowed to Liu Delong.

"This father-in-law, the old man's house has prepared wine and food......" Lao Xiu said blindly.

"Next time, next time, the emperor is still waiting for our family to return to life, our family will retire, retire." Wang Erxi didn't wait to say more, and after bowing again, he turned around and fled.

"Father-in-law walk slowly, watch out for ...... under your feet" Lao Xiucai wondered, why did this father-in-law come in such a hurry every time?

A word of concern made Wang Erxi's feet tremble!

This An Guobo's family is really all strange people, they can't be provoked, they can't be provoked......
