After the guests and host had a great time and sent Eunuch Chen and the magistrate away, Tian Minyan and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and the family was able to sit down and talk.
"Dad, please quickly show me the imperial edict given by the emperor to our family." Tian Minyan said to Tian Huairen impatiently.
"Yes, yes, dad, I want to see it too." Xiao Wu also jumped up and down. Because they had to receive the imperial edict, he and Brother Rui both asked for leave from Zhen Xuena.
Tian Huairen smiled and took out a long dark red box, took out a piece of bright yellow silk and handed it to Tian Minyan.
Several brothers and sisters crowded together to watch it, and looked at it over and over again. The bright yellow color representing the emperor made them smile and narrow their eyes.
"Dad, with this imperial edict, our family really has an amulet." Tian Minyan's eyes were as bright as morning stars, shining brightly: "We can keep this edict for a long time and leave it to us in the future.
Let your descendants take a look at it to inspire future generations."
"This is necessary." Tian Huairen smiled naively, and after a while, he said sheepishly: "But, this is my name. Girl, you mashed the potatoes, so it should be written on you.
The name should be your fault."
"Dad, what are you talking about? You are the head of our family. It is appropriate to write your name. What does it look like to write my daughter's name?" Tian Minyan tutted and said, "As a family, we don't care about this.
Besides, I am a daughter after all, so it’s not easy for me to show off like this."
She is not modest. These days, a woman who is too famous will not be beautiful. She will be shot first.
"My sister is right. Extreme wisdom will inevitably be damaged. A woman cannot be too famous. Besides, my sister is twelve years old." Tian Minrui nodded and said, "Dad, we all know it ourselves. As for those rewards, I just think about them and keep them all."
It will be a dowry for my daughter in the future."
Tian Huairen thought for a while and said, "That's it. Where are you, Xiaowu?"
"I definitely have no objection. Sister, it's too hard." Xiao Wu said with his big eyes blinking.
"Brother, what kind of dowry? How can I have less dowry in the future? Our whole family has a share in these rewards." Tian Minyan refused, and said with a smile: "Besides, why keep it? As the saying goes, money begets money, let's use these rewards
It would be beautiful if the rewards are reinvested in business or something."
"I wonder what the house in the state capital is like?" Luo was very yearning for the house that was awarded to him. After all, it was a big city and it was a house rewarded by the emperor.
"Mom, I can't wait any longer. Let's go over as a family to play. I heard from Magistrate Zheng that the house is the third largest house in the country. Although it is not big, it is very exquisite. And I also want to open another shop in the state capital.
"Yes." After hearing this, Tian Minyan smiled and said, "If mother likes it, we can move there as a family."
"How can this mean that we no longer want this family? I still like to be here in Yangmei Village, after all." Luo Shi said angrily.
Tian Minyan smiled and talked about the hundred acres of fertile land again. The rewarded hundred acres of fertile land was also in Qingping County, but not in Taiping Town, but in another place called Gaosheng Town.
"Master Wen said that this hundred acres of land was originally returned to the court by the former magistrate. It must be a first-class good land. Now it is rented out by the county. Since it was awarded to us, we should take it.
I'm renting a house. I was thinking that now that the cotton has been planted and the spring sowing is almost over, I will go there tomorrow to have a look and recognize the people. What do you think, dad?" Tian Minyan asked Tian Huairen's opinion.
Regarding rewards, apart from the imperial edict, Tian Huairen's favorite thing was this hundred acres of fertile land. I heard that he wanted to go and see it, how could he not be happy? He agreed immediately.
"Now our family has more and more fields. Although we are not a big landlord, we are still a rich farmer. Dad, let the long-term workers take care of the things in the fields. You can learn to be a landlord and manage." Tian Minyan
Give your own suggestions.
Tian Huairen also knows the situation of his family. Nowadays, there is land everywhere and there is business to take care of. He really doesn't have time to plant in the fields. But if he really wants to quit and become an administrator, he is also a little worried that he won't be able to do it.
He came and said, "I don't know many things, and I don't know what to do."
"Learn slowly. First of all, you have to bring my brother and Xiaowu with you when it comes to dealing with people. As for business, if you don't understand, just leave it to me. You can listen and exaggerate with your ears and eyes, but you won't know anything.
It's okay if you don't know. As for the land, I can leave it to you, dad." Tian Minyan said with a chuckle.
"Well, if you don't know this place, you are still here." Tian Huairen smiled.
"What about me? What to do?" Xiaowu shouted hurriedly, fearing that he would be left behind.
"You, just study hard and become the number one scholar in the future." Tian Minyan scratched his little nose and said with a smile: "Of course, you can't just study. The same goes for me. You have to study and learn to take care of the general affairs.
, after all, we will have to rely on you and Xiao Wu to run this business in the future."
"I know." Tian Minrui nodded calmly.
"You have all divided your work. It seems that I am the only one who is rich and idle." Luo Che chuckled at this time.
"Mother, where do you have time? First of all, mother, you are in charge of this house. The male is in charge, and the female is in charge. Just to take care of us, you have to take care of me. To be a qualified matron,
It's not easy to do." Tian Minyan said seriously: "You know, the men are fighting hard at the front, and if this is to succeed, the backyard must be peaceful. Mom, this all depends on you."
Luo Shi was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and said: "Then you have to invite Mrs. Fang and the others to tea often and learn how to do it."
Tian Minyan narrowed her eyes after hearing this. Luo Shi had this understanding and thought about studying, which was better than her talking about it. After all, she couldn't take care of everything, and people would always be negligent.
"Then you have to start by looking at the account books. It will be even harder for you to read."
"Mom, don't be afraid, I'll teach you." Xiao Wu immediately patted his chest and said, "We two will learn together."
"Okay, okay, my Xiaowu is my mother's little teacher." Luo Shi hugged him and smiled.
At this time, Lin Xiao's family came to tell them that the Buddhist hall had been cleaned and they could invite the imperial edict there.
Tian Minyan specially set up a small shrine. Of course, she did not enshrine the ancestral tablets, but enshrined the gifts rewarded by the emperor in it. This was also her intention. In the future, they would form their own sect and open a family tree. This is the first time.
Tian Huairen and Luo Shi must be the first generation.
After washing hands, burning incense and offering melons and fruits, Tian Huairen personally placed the imperial edict on the table. The family kowtowed three times respectfully. Tian Minyan looked at the bright yellow behind the smoke, and the corners of her lips became bigger and bigger.
As time goes by, she becomes more and more ambitious. If she grows cotton in the future, the reward will be more significant, and it will be easier to plan a family tree in the future. The third member of the Tian family must become the first in the clan.
