When everyone was curious and wanted to poke their heads to take a look, Lord Hou closed the box, and then glanced at Brother Li and Brother Mao at the end of the kang.

The old lady understood, and immediately said: "Brother Li, Brother Mao, it's time to go to bed, why don't you see your fourth brother and fifth brother, help grandma find them."

Brother Li and Brother Mao didn't know what was going on, and they didn't suspect it, so they went out on the ground.

Ye Shan quickly bolted the door, and Hou Ye opened the box, revealing the golden imperial decree inside.

The Li family covered their mouths in shock and almost cried out.

Hou Ye quickly opened it, glanced at it and then laughed, "Auntie, it's a good thing to accept the order with Fu Niu in your arms."

The old lady took a deep breath, got up and hugged her granddaughter, then knelt down with her sons.

Even Ye Shan knelt on one side.

Lord Hou quickly read the imperial decree. Except for Li Zhensheng, the rest of the people in the room didn't quite understand the rhetoric in front of it, but the key points of the last few sentences were still clear.

The adopted daughter of the Marquis of Xinting, she was granted the title of Princess Kangle, and her land was Suijintan with a radius of twenty miles.

Twenty miles around Suijintan, that is to say, Suijintan, Dahuaishu Village, Dawang Village and Xiaowang Village are all Fu Niu's fiefs.

In the future, the annual tax will be handed over to Fu Niu, and even Fu Niu can adjust the tax rate and collect corvee.

This reward is simply too rich and amazing.

You must know that even a military marquis like Lord Hou, the only cousin of the emperor's mother clan, does not have a fief.

Jiayin, a two-year-old girl, is already a small landlord? !

Although this fiefdom couldn't be smaller, it is absolutely unique and extremely special.

"Thank you for the reward from the emperor, long live the emperor!" Ye Shan saw that the Li family had been frightened, so he quickly led them to kowtow to thank him.

Mrs. Li was helped up and sat on the edge of the kang again, still in a daze.

And Jiayin embraced the golden imperial decree, drooling with a smile.

Seeing that her granddaughter's saliva was about to drip onto the imperial edict, Mrs. Li shuddered in fright, and hugged her granddaughter directly, and the imperial edict was also stuffed into Lord Hou's arms.

"Master Hou, what should we do about this matter? Fu Niu'er is still so young, our Li family can't afford such a reward."

Even Li Zhensheng and the other brothers frowned, obviously more surprised than happy.

The Li family is naturally grateful for the great kindness of the emperor, but the Li family is just a small farmer, and Jiayin is only a two-year-old child.

If outsiders know, the Li family and Jiayin will be on the cusp of the crisis, and they may cause some trouble again.

For the Li family, living a stable life and making a fortune silently is the best choice at present. They really don't want to be a target for the limelight.

Not only was Hou Ye not angry, but he was very happy.

Putting this matter in other people's homes, I'm afraid they will immediately beat gongs and drums to announce it to the world, but the Li family is not dazzled, the first consideration is the stability of the family.

It's rare to be so sober.

Lord Hou carefully received the imperial decree, then handed the box to Jiayin, and then explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, since the emperor didn't send someone to deliver the decree at the banquet, he chose to send it secretly at night, just to let our family Decide when to announce it yourself.

"Zuo Sui Jin Tan has been exempted from taxes for three years, and now is the first year. It will not be too late to wait until two years later for this edict. By then, Fu Niu will be almost five years old, and her family will have a firm foothold here. Son, don’t be afraid even if someone covets it.”

Mrs. Li's mother and son breathed a long sigh of relief, with grateful expressions on their faces, "The emperor's kindness is mighty, thank you His Majesty for being so considerate for our family in spite of his busy schedule."

Lord Hou nodded, and said, "The taxes of the nearby villages will be handed over soon. I want to send someone to collect them. Does Fu Niu keep it?"

"No, no!" Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "If the family wants to hide the imperial decree for two years, then hide it to the end. The taxes of those villages should be handed over. It just so happens that the emperor's new residence is here and needs money and food. Woolen cloth.

"The emperor appointed Fu Niu'er as princess. Our family is already very grateful. How can we covet this little money? Besides, the current income of the family is enough to spend."

Li's second son also agreed with his old lady's thoughts, and echoed: "Yes, the jasper melons and golden fruits sold this year are still blessed by the emperor's name."

Seeing this, Lord Hou didn't persuade him any more, "Then it's settled, the imperial decree will be released first, and if the family encounters difficulties in the future, or I have a good or bad situation abroad, then taking out the imperial decree will protect the family a little bit." Minute."

"Bah bah!" Mrs. Li quickly spit on the ground, glared at Lord Hou and said angrily, "Young children speak out loud, the wind blows away! What nonsense, there is no guard in your mouth!"

Master Hou was scolded, but he laughed.

After a few more gossips, he led Ye Shan back slowly, leaving the Li family to disperse and rest.

Mrs. Li helped her eldest son back to the west room to rest. After hesitating for a while, she still briefly said a few words about the difference between her little granddaughter.

The purpose is to let the eldest son know that there is a reason why Lord Hou treats his family so kindly, and he can trust him in everything he does in the future.

Li Zhensheng had always thought that his little niece was too smart, but now he heard what his mother said was vague, but he didn't ask any further questions.

He has already returned home. As the eldest son of Li, the safety of the young and old in the family is his responsibility.

Not to mention that the little niece is just a little smarter and a little more magical.

Even if the little niece is really a mountain spirit, born in the Li family, no one can bully her!

When Mrs. Li saw her son saying that, she was relieved and went out to make soup for her son.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, sister-in-law, were chatting and watching the medicine being boiled.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter-in-law who had been busy all day, so she sent them to bed. She looked at the medicine jar and fanned the wind to add firewood.

Brother Li and Brother Mao came back from the outside. Seeing this, they ran over and hugged grandma's arm and talked, very close.

The two brothers watched their father drink the medicine with their own eyes, and then followed their grandmother back to the house to sleep.

Li Laosan smiled and hugged the quilt, squeezed into the west room, and slept next to his elder brother.

I want to take care of my eldest brother at night, chat with my eldest brother, and regain the brotherhood that has been separated for more than ten years...

The reunion time always flies by so fast, Jiaren only took two days off, not to delay the college class, and will go back to Luo'an in the afternoon.

Li Laosan's family of three naturally wants to go back.

Mrs. Li thought of Brother Li, so while everyone was sitting and chatting under the eaves, she called her grandson to her and asked, "Brother Li, you were studying in Luo'an, did you like the master and classmates there? Don't go back with your elder brother and continue studying in the academy?"

Brother Li subconsciously looked at his father.

Only a few days after he came back, his father's complexion has improved a lot, and it is obvious that his condition will not be serious anymore.

But he was still a little worried about leaving home and going back to Luo'an to study.

Li Zhensheng saw his son's little thoughts, and said, "Don't worry, you can go to study if you like. Dad is with grandma, and he will definitely get better soon. Then I will take my younger brother to the academy to see you."

Only then did Brother Li nod his head, "Okay, dad, I like studying in Luo'an, sir is very funny, he will often praise me."

Everyone laughed. After all, they are children, and they like to hear compliments.
