Tian Huairen was named the Bo of Zhong County for his meritorious service in growing cotton, while Tian Minyan was also named the Lord of Huimin County for her merit in rescuing the driver. Even Luo Shi was honored as a husband and wife, and was granted the title of Gongren. Such news, on this New Year's Eve,
, just like the sound of firecrackers, they exploded in Yangmei Village and all over the countryside, spreading quickly.
Everyone knew that the Tian family went to Beijing under the imperial decree, and when they returned home in splendid clothes, they were even more grand. The cartloads of rewards and the fancy clothes that represented their status dazzled everyone. Everyone said that the Tian family's ancestral graves were filled with smoke.
For a time, there was no preparation for the New Year's dinner or anything else, and they all flocked to Tian's house to watch the fun and ask for rewards.
"My master said that on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a big banquet in the village ancestral hall for three days and three nights, and a theater troupe will be invited to sing a three-day opera. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun, whether you know someone or not, just come to eat, drink and have fun.
." Butler Lin said loudly with a red face as he blocked the flow of people.
The crowd suddenly burst into cheers and left one after another, running to tell each other that this was great news.
Butler Lin smiled brightly, and his eyes swept far away when he saw the old man Jiang being approached by a large family. His eyes flashed and he put on his trademark smile.
"Steward Lin, where is my third brother? Let him come out and pick him up quickly. The old man and the old lady are here." Tian Huaixiao's eyes shone.
"Second Master, Mr. Zhong County and Mr. Huimin County have just entered the house. They have been working hard all the way and are taking a rest. If you are here to congratulate me, why don't you come back after noon?" Butler Lin smiled and said politely: "Master and the county
I will summon you when you are free."
"Who do you think you are? No matter how high-ranking the third brother is, she is still his mother-in-law. I am his second brother. It is his turn to come out and pick him up. What are you talking about? Get out of here." Tian Huaixiao glared and said:
Break in.
Butler Lin stepped aside, with a stern look on his face and a cold voice, and said: "Second Master, my master was knighted by the emperor, from the third rank, you barged into the mansion, this is a disservice to the lord.
Disrespect, disrespect to the emperor, this is contempt for a nobleman, and you will be punished. The second master doesn't know that the people next to him, even the prefect, have to respectfully hand over the invitation to pay their respects, and they don't dare to say "acceptance."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the old man and the others changed. This means that the prefect has to submit a notice to pay homage. Who do you think is the elder? How great is your brother?
Tian Huai couldn't be more filial and wanted to say something. The old man shouted and said: "Second brother, shut up." He turned to Butler Lin again. Although he was dissatisfied, he still put on a smile and said: "Butler Lin, we are
It’s been a long time since I last saw Lao San and the others, and I was thinking to myself that I wanted to see Lao San and the others.”
"Old man, it's not that I won't let you in. The truth is that Mr. Zhong County and Mr. Huimin have just arrived home and have a lot of things to sort out. If you are not afraid of waiting, just sit and have tea in the side hall." Butler Lin pretended to be embarrassed.
Said like that.
"It's okay, we have to be free, and we're not afraid of waiting for a while." The old man said hoarsely.
A flash of disdain flashed through Butler Lin's heart, and he thought to himself that the Junjun had hit the target immediately. He knew that the people from the old house would come and had given the order in advance. Since he was not afraid of waiting, he would just wait.
So, with his smile still on his face, he led them to the side hall where they were waiting for guests.
In the backyard, Tian Minyan had already received the news. She knew that these people would not miss the opportunity to enjoy the autumn breeze, and if they knew that their family moved to Kyoto, they would definitely follow them.
However, she is not Tian Huaide, and she will never take these scoundrels to Kyoto. How to plan this matter, she has to think carefully.
"I know, send some refreshments over and let them wait. Don't let them come to the inner courtyard." Tian Minyan quietly ordered Ruyi who came to report the news.
Ruyi responded respectfully and withdrew, thinking that after all, she had been granted the title of county monarch, and the girl's demeanor made people more awe-inspiring than before.
Turning around and returning to the room, Tian Huairen was talking to Luo Shi and others, smiling happily, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
"What on earth is going on? Tell me quickly." Luo Shi asked impatiently.
Tian Minyan glanced at Tian Huairen, and then slowly told the story of going to Kyoto in detail. When she heard Tian Minyan block the arrow, Luo Shi's face turned pale.
"You kid, why do you do this? If something happens, what do you want your mother to do?" Luo Shi pulled Tian Minyan and said angrily.
"Mom, it's okay. Don't you think I'm a very lucky person? My wounds are all healed now. If you don't believe me, please show me tonight." Tian Minyan hurriedly acknowledged her inferiority.
"You... what do you want me to say, you child? Don't do this kind of thing again in the future. You have to live to enjoy the glory and wealth. Mother only wants our family to be safe, wealth comes second.
." Luo Shixuxu said authentically.
Seeing that her words were a little heavy, Tian Minrui said: "Mom, today is a great day, so I won't talk about these disappointing things. My sister is very lucky. Hasn't she become the county king now? Mom, you also have a high-ranking imperial decree.
Where is the madam?"
"Yes, mother, you don't have to look at other people's faces in the future. You are the fourth-grade imperial wife. When others see you, they have to kowtow and salute." Tian Minyan also said with a smile: "In addition to being higher than your rank,
Tall, if you don't like it, you don't have to be polite."
"I don't even know how to do this. There are too many rules." Luo Shi said a little embarrassedly.
"Mom, Aunt Rong and Aunt Gu will teach you. If you don't understand, just ask them." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
These two nuns are both old people who came from the palace. They know the rules and upbringing best. They were also found by Qi Shiqi. They were originally going to be retired. Qi Shiqi got them to Zhong County
The uncle's house just wanted to teach Tian Minyan, Luo Shi and other female relatives about the rules in Kyoto, so as to avoid making a fool of themselves when they go to Kyoto in the future and don't understand anything.
They were retired, and there was no one in the family anymore, so it was hard to get married again. Now that they were at Tian Minyan's house, Tian Minyan would provide for them until they die. Of course, the body deed was also held in her hands.
As for these two nuns, Aunt Rong has a more prim and serious face, a little unkind, very majestic, and has strict rules. Aunt Gu is kind, knows how to cook good meals, and is approachable, but as long as she knows the goods, she only listens.
She knew it was not simple when she spoke, and she understood a lot through the twists and turns.
With the guidance of these two nuns, Tian Minyan believed that in the past few months, he could not learn everything about rules and so on, but he could still learn about seven or eight points.
"Those two nuns, their words and deeds look different from those of us here. After all, they came from the palace, so I'm afraid I have to pay tribute to them." Luo Shi said with a frown.
Tian Minyan raised her lips and smiled, her eyes slightly cold, and said: "Mother, servants are servants, we will provide for them, they have a sense of propriety and know their limits. If you want to be a slave and bully the master, don't blame me for being rude, understand.
They are not the only ones in Beijing who are well-behaved."
She will never tolerate slaves bullying their masters. Even if they come from the palace, it is the same. They have already turned over and are the masters, and let a slave ride on their head. That is not kindness, but incompetence.
The family talked for a while again, and this time, in addition to the two nuns, there were also two young boys and several girls. Tian Minyan named each of them, planning to get to know each other better in the past few months.
You will need it when you go to Kyoto.
They are talking very enthusiastically here, but the old man who is sitting and waiting in the side hall is very unhappy.
"Dad, it's been an hour. No matter how busy the third child is, he has to be free. I think he got angry when he got rich. He deliberately put on an air of arrogance so that we could go and invite him. I'll go find him.
." Tian Huaixiao was the first to get up impatiently and started to walk out.
"Stop." The old man knocked the old smoker in his hand and said, "If you can't wait, just go back to my old house and no one will stop you." This bastard who doesn't understand anything is still the third child.
They are the third child who used to be silent!
"Dad..." Tian Huaixiao was indignant, but returned to his seat under the old man's glare.
"Old man, what the boss said is right. We have been waiting for this for a long time. Third uncle and the others are deliberately leaving us alone. It's already past noon. We young ones can still endure it. Dad and mother, you are both old.
It's time for you to grow up and eat." Ms. Li became impatient and said with a hum, "I just have to put on airs, I have to put on enough."
The old man's face darkened, and he was about to have a seizure, but he heard Tian Huaide, who was nearest to him, make a growling sound in his stomach, and he couldn't help but look over.
Tian Huaide's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed and said: "Dad, what the second brother and sister also said is that it's already noon, why don't you ask a girl to call him? I'm afraid the third child is too busy and forgot."
"What's the point, girl, let me go and have a look. I know this family well." Mrs. Li's eyes were flashing green, and she walked quickly to the door without waiting for the old man to speak. She heard that Lao San and the others were back, and the reward was fake.
There are quite a few cars.
The old man moved his lips, but when he saw a room full of languid descendants, they remained silent. Seeing this, Tian Huaixiao knew there was something going on, so he looked at the door eagerly, eager to follow him out.
Before Li could even get out of the door, she was forced back. It was Tian Huairen and the others who came over.
Seeing Tian Huairen and the others coming, the old man stood up excitedly and went to greet them. When he saw the third child dressed in splendor and with a red face full of high spirits, he was heartbroken at first, and then put on a smile.
"Third brother, you're back. Dad is looking forward to having you back for a reunion dinner." The old man grabbed Tian Huairen's hand, looked up and down, and praised: "You've made a difference. Sure enough, you've made a difference. I heard them say that.
The emperor gave me a knighthood. I still can’t believe it. It’s true. Third brother, you really have great potential.”
"Dad, I'm worrying you." Tian Huairen smiled faintly, turned to look at Tian Minyan, and said, "It's all thanks to my daughter-in-law."
When the old man saw Tian Minyan, who was equally glamorous and full of nobility, his eyes flashed and he said excitedly: "Okay, okay, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. This is true, girl Yan, okay."
"Dad, I have long said that Yan Yatou is a very lucky person." Mrs. Chen stepped forward with a flattering face, glared at Tian Minyan and said: "Yan Yatou, Auntie Xu was wrong in the past, so don't fall in love with Auntie.
"
"Third brother, what is this title and what rewards are there? Does our family also have a share?" Tian Huaixiao squeezed Chen away and asked eagerly.
"Third uncle, I..."
"Yan girl..."
Tian Minyan smiled faintly when she saw the chattering people coming over. Then when she saw Tian Minting staring at her like dead fish eyes, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly and she tilted her head slightly.
"Be brave, why don't you kowtow and salute when you see Mr. Zhong County and Mr. Huimin County?" Aunt Rong shouted coldly.
As soon as Aunt Rong said these words, the room suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at the well-dressed woman with a bun and a majestic face, and their faces changed.
Kowtow and salute?
The old man was also stunned, his smile froze, and he looked at Tian Huairen.
Tian Huairen didn't expect this either. He looked at Aunt Rong with some embarrassment and said with difficulty: "Aunt Rong, these are my father and mother."
"That is, where do you come from, woman? Do you understand the rules? Where are you acting wild? Master, it is your turn to speak to a servant?" Tian Huaixiao also reacted and coldly snorted: "There are elders who are talking to their sons.
Is it reasonable to kneel down? Third brother, why don’t you drag this woman out? What the hell.”
"Presumptuous." Aunt Rong shouted coldly, took a step forward and said, "I am a female official personally appointed by the emperor, and I am a seventh-rank official. How can you, a little unruly person, order and scold you? You are despising the imperial power, and you are still
Don’t kneel down.”
She turned to Tian Huairen and said: "Uncle Zhongxian, you are a third-grade nobleman personally conferred by the emperor. The emperor did not confer a title on your parents. Normally, they should salute you, the county prince and his wife as a sign of respect.
The emperor bestowed respect on you. It doesn’t matter if your parents are great, but these people should all kneel down and bow to you. Otherwise, they should be punished with a crime of disrespect and be dragged down and slapped twenty times."
The old man's face turned pale and changed several times. Jiang, who was beside him, almost couldn't help but jump out. The old man quickly grabbed her hand and glared at her.
When Tian Minyan saw this, she lowered her eyelids and raised the corners of her mouth coldly. At this moment, Jiang still couldn't figure it out and wanted to jump out. It was really a good show.
If you are smart, you should know that there must be someone behind Aunt Rong, otherwise she would never dare to ask others to set the rules on her own when she first arrived.
The old man glanced at Tian Huairen, and then at Tian Minyan. When he saw her looking over, her eyes were indifferent, and she had no intention of opening her mouth. He couldn't help but shrink his pupils. He finally knew that this was Tian Minyan's power to set the rules.
That's right, Tian Minyan wanted to set up this rule and show this power. She wanted them to know who was in charge of the family and who they had to look at to act.
"Mommy, this..." Tian Huairen frowned.
"Uncle Zhong County, the rules must not be abolished." Aunt Rong said coldly, with an air of indignity: "If you don't kneel down and worship when you see the emperor's personal title, it is disrespectful to the emperor. It is a crime of gross disrespect, and the worst case may be beheading.
.”
"Dad..." Tian Huaixiao and the others were frightened. Aunt Rong came from this palace and was a seventh-grade female official. Her demeanor was even more formidable than the county magistrate's wife.
"kneel!"
The old man squeezed out a word through his teeth, and everyone was stunned.
