Chapter 379
ps: Thank you for your 10,000 reward from the book friends. Lao Zhuang’s mood is like the first time you cleared after the snow, great!
The queen mother is in the world. ~ The queen ordered the reward of my mother. This is a great honor and cannot be refused. What's more, the one who came to congratulate her was the queen's biological mother. This face was too great. Liang Xiao felt that he could not hold on, so he was very worried and jumped around.
Just like why the Queen Mother wanted to add a title to him, Liang Xiao knew the thoughts of the queen and daughter. But at this moment, he could not keep anyone outside the door. In desperation, he had to send someone to notify me to prepare for reception.
When Mama Liang learned that Princess Guantao came to congratulate him in person, she was very surprised. The cold treatment she received at Princess Guantao was still vivid in her mind. Now Princess Guantao has come to congratulate him in person. This change is too great, so she can't believe it.
Although shocked, Mama Liang went out to welcome Princess Guantao in person. Logically speaking, Mama Liang was a commoner and was not qualified to sit with Princess Guantao. But now Liang Xiao has been named Liehou, Mama Liang is the master again, so he naturally sat in the chairman, while Princess Guantao was sitting in the guest room.
The rules were not rigorous at this time, and the eldest princess and the princess were not far from the etiquette system, and they were both equivalent to the county marquis.
The servants of the eldest princess's mansion carried the gifts up and placed them in the hall like the emperor's reward. Several boxes, silk, satin, and gold and jade ornaments were dazzling. While Liang was grateful, he remembered the ten golds he had gone to Guantao Princess's mansion to ask for a reward, and he couldn't help but smile.
First, the order was announced, and now it was Princess Guantao. Their car was parked at the door of the Liang family. It was difficult to not attract attention. After a while, Liang Xiao's door was filled with people. While looking at Princess Guantao's car with envious eyes, he was guessing. Tu Niuer's parents were also among them. When they saw a distinguished guest in the Liang family visiting, they immediately felt honored and their voices were a little louder than before.
Maoling is a new country, and all living in new immigrants are new immigrants. However, those who are forced to immigrate are all powerful people from all over the country, even if they move out of their hometown, their strength is beyond the reach of a commoner like Liang Tu. Seeing that Shi was arrogant, he immediately retorted.
Someone said, "It's not your Tu family, what's so proud of you?"
"My son is Liang Xiao's brother. Liang Xiao has been granted the title of Marquis, and my son is Junhou's brother. You untouchables, when you see my son going to salute..."
"And! Is it that easy to be a marquis?" Someone said loudly: "General Li made such a great contribution and captured dozens of Xiongnu nobles, but he was unable to be a marquis. Can Liang Xiao be a marquis?"
"What do you know?" Shi's face turned red and said in a half-baked Chang'an dialect: "When Liang Xiao came back from the Western Regions, we married and we went to greet him. He brought a lot of Hu people, but they were not so simple. You unsavvy people..."
Tu Huaer was ordered by Mama Liang to go out to entertain the neighbors. When she saw my mother arguing with others, she was immediately annoyed and said loudly: "What are you doing here? The mother of the queen, Princess Guantao, came to congratulate Liang Jun on his title of marquis. You all dispersed, disturbed the nobles and interrupted your dog legs."
Everyone looked at each other, and immediately someone stepped forward and said with a smile: "Miss Huaer, has Liang Xiao really been granted the title of marquis?"
"Can this be fake?" Tu Huaer glanced at the man and raised his head slightly. "Wait with peace of mind. This is a great joy. Aunt Liang is a kind person. After being granted a marquis, she will inevitably have to have fun with all the neighbors. But you can't come empty-handed, should you go back and prepare some congratulations? Although the Liang family doesn't care about your things, this is a big event of a marquis after all, don't you think?"
After hearing Tu Huaer's words, everyone knew that they could not be fake, so they quickly dispersed. No matter how powerful they were, they were common people, and they were a world of difference from the nobles. The Liang family invited them to drink, so they could not take this face.
Shi was even more proud and came over. "Daughter, do we also want to offer gifts? How much is the right amount? If there is too much, it's spring desolation now."
Tu Huaer glared at Shi fiercely. "Forget it, please, Aunt Liang has treated you badly? Liang Xiao was granted a marquis, how could Niu'er be less beneficial? So many people are watching, are you embarrassed to come empty-handed?"
Shi was a little embarrassed and was about to say something else. Li was walking over and shouting, "Aunt Shi, why are you still here? People from the county are coming, go home quickly. Your Tu Tian can't beat a mess with three sticks..." Li was just blinking and saw that Tu Huaer looked bad, so he quickly smiled and said, "Miss Huaer, good things, good things."
Tu Huaer asked, "What's the good thing?"
"It seems that it is said that it is a reward for military merit. Your family made a contribution. The court ordered the reward of the title and promoted to the public vehicle. From now on, your family will not have to pay taxes to serve."
When Shi heard this, he was overjoyed: "Take it serious?"
Li Zheng smiled and said, "Can you still lie to you about the government affairs? To be honest, this public vehicle is not easy to get. I have also served as a soldier and have never seen a few people who have obtained public vehicle by virtue of military merit. It's a pity that although the public vehicle is a high title, he cannot have a fief. In the past, when Emperor Gao was a year, your family not only did not have to pay taxes, but also had a fief to eat."
Shi was overjoyed and ran away. Li was greeting Tu Huaer, shouting and chasing him. Tu Huaer was stunned for a while and couldn't help laughing. Liang Xiao was named a marquis, and his younger brother would definitely have benefits, but she didn't expect that the benefits would come so quickly, and Niu Er was actually a public servant.
For ordinary people, the public passenger service is the highest title that they can count on. Not paying taxes or performing labor service will not only reduce the burden, but no one dares to underestimate the Tu family in the future. It won’t take long before someone came to propose marriage, and even she rose with the flow of water.
This finger is worth it.
Tu Huaer was satisfied and had a wind under her feet. She returned to the East Kitchen and directed her servants to prepare a banquet. Liang Xiao was granted the title of marquis and had to hold a water mat.
After talking to Liang Mama and his son for a while, Princess Guantao stood up and said goodbye. Liang Mama stood up and sent Liang Xiao to see him out, and turned around and expressed his feelings to Li Rongqing. "Rongqing, how can a person not be rich? Two years ago, we were like slaves in the eyes of the eldest princess. We met twice, without even drinking a sip of water. Today, A Xiao was named the marquis, and the eldest princess came to the door to congratulate him in person. One day, one place is far apart."
Li Rongqing was immersed in joy, her mind was dizzy, and she nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
Liang Xiao sent Princess Guantao out of the door. Princess Guantao looked at Liang Xiao with a smile: "Mr. Liang Jun, I felt kind to me when I saw Lingtang that day. Do you know that Lingtang has another sister who was once a member of King Xiao of Liang?"
Liang Xiao blinked his eyes. He had never heard me say it.
"Emperor Xiaojing, King Xiao of Liang and my fellow-brothers, I also have a lot of feelings for the old friends of Liang State. If you have anything to do, you can come to me in the future. The Empress Dowager, Emperor Xiaojing and King Xiao of Liang have both abandoned the dead, and I am the only old woman left. It's really a bit deserted. If you interact with you young people more, I can also make me feel a little angry."
Liang Xiao bowed politely and thanked him repeatedly. Princess Guantao said a few more diligent words, then got in the car and left.
Liang Xiao stood up and let out a long sigh. He was about to turn around and enter, and another group of people walked quickly in the distance. One of them was Zheng Shi, the right inner historian. Liang Xiao smiled bitterly, "The emperor did it on purpose, because the situation was so big, I can't afford to pay this favor."
Zheng quickly walked up to him, and Liang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "Jun Zheng, you are..."
"You have been named a marquis. How can I not come to see such a big deal?" Zheng laughed at the time and waved his hand. Several followers took out ropes and rulers and scattered. Liang Xiao quickly stopped him. "Zheng Jun, you are..."
"June, don't you know?" Zheng was surprised at the time. "According to the rules, the lords do not benefit the land, but the houses need to be increased. I don't know if the place here is enough, so I have to send someone to measure it first. If it is not enough, please sign another house site for you."
Liang Xiao slapped his forehead and suddenly realized. He had read relevant historical materials, but he forgot about it when he was in trouble, and he never remembered it. According to the military merit system, title of marquis not only improves political status, but also allows you to enjoy a lot of special treatment. Not paying taxes and not serving labor is only one aspect, and the specifications of land and homesteads will be increased accordingly. The marquis have fiefs, so they are not granted land, but the homesteads need to be increased. Compared with ordinary families, there seems to be a dozen times gap.
In other words, either move all the people in this place, or set up another place for him to rebuild the house. Zheng came here at that time. Of course, generally speaking, this kind of thing doesn't require him, the right inner historian, to come in person, just give him an order. He came in person, nothing more than an order from the palace to support him and urge departments at all levels to speed up to avoid making things difficult.
"I'll talk about those things later." Liang Xiao said without hesitation, pulled Zheng into the door and asked Pang Shuo to entertain his entourage. Liang Xiao invited Zheng to the hall, met his mother, and invited Huan Yuan again. "Zheng Jun, this is my master, Huan Junyuan, the master of the sci-singer Huan Junqi, Niu'er's master Zhongli Junqi. Master, Uncle Zhongli, this is Zheng Jun, the right inner historian at that time."
When Zheng heard about Huan and Zhongli's surname, he knew it well. Huan Yuan and Zhongli Qi also understood it. Both sides came to the hall and started chatting. Liang Xiao sat with him for a while and got out of here to the East Courtyard. Mei Gao, Wei Qing and others were watching the mercenaries. The Greek teenagers performed martial arts. Several men were jealous and had already left the scene. They tried with the mercenaries. Huo Qubing was happy to see him, clapped his hands and kept calling.
Liang Xiao pulled Mei Gao aside. "Shaoru, how can I afford to do such a big battle in the emperor?"
Mei Gao glanced at him and smiled. "Don't worry, the emperor knows it. The reason why he created such a big battle is to set a model so that people in the world know that he wants to favor those who dare to fight and reward those who are inferior. You don't have to worry. You should thank you at that time and say whatever you should."
Liang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. "Princess Guantao comes, the emperor knows?"
"Even if you don't know, you can guess it." Mei Gao disagreed. "The emperor has approved you for a few days of vacation, so you can wait at home to receive gifts. With Master Dou who has set rules, I think those people are embarrassed to be too stingy. The emperor said that he can't break the rules, so he had to let these people compensate you."
Liang Xiao smacked his lips, his head a little big.
