The cannon fodder daughter was exiled, she has a system to earn gold
Chapter 297: Imperial Decree
Qin Erlu and Pei Lexuan came back to their senses. Pei Lexuan was fine, but Qin Erlu felt very embarrassed. He was surprised to realize that a lot of time had passed.
He actually talked about the battlefield with a little girl, and they talked for such a long time that he still felt a little unsatisfied.
How can one not be moved by the fact that the little girl admires these soldiers?
Qin Erlu also knew his identity and did not have any romantic thoughts. He did not dare to think about it at all. Seeing the pure and clean eyes of Bae Lexuan, it would be blasphemy if he had any romantic thoughts.
He quickly stood up.
"Let's go and receive the order first."
When the imperial edict arrives, even if there are paralyzed people present, they have to be carried out to receive the edict.
At this time, all the women in the backyard came to the front yard together.
Qin Zhongyue wondered if the emperor did this on purpose.
The reason why I am announcing the decree at this time is to let more people know.
"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:
Qin Shuoze was born with supernatural power, brave and resourceful, and he killed the enemy generals and assisted General Pei in winning three battles, killing 361 soldiers... I hereby grant him the rank of Fourth Rank Lieutenant General, I decree this!"
Not only the Qin family members were stunned by this imperial decree, but also those who came to invite the Qin family to the banquet were stunned.
Is Qin Erlu so brave?
They just thought that he saved the general, but they didn't expect that he assisted General Bae in winning three battles and even took the head of the enemy general. Even an ordinary general would not be able to achieve such results in a battle.
General Bei is still injured, which means that in those three battles, even the heads of enemy generals were taken, which were probably done by Qin Erlu alone.
Even if he was not the only one who did it, he was the main force.
How did he do it?
How can you be so awesome?
That was why the emperor directly promoted him, a small centurion guarding the mountain in Lingzhu, to the rank of General of the Central Army, as clearly stated in the imperial edict.
"I thank the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor!"
Qin Erlu thanked him and accepted the order.
The one who came to announce the decree was eunuch Xiao Anzi.
Eunuch Xiao Anzi forced a smile on his young face, which made wrinkles all over. It was obvious that it took him many years of practice to form this smile.
But the smile on his face at this moment was genuine.
Xiao Anzi thought to himself, the Qin family has really become rich!
As long as no one in the family is confused and does something extraordinary, there will be no problem in being honored and favored for decades.
He also knew that Qin Jia Silang was the last disciple of Li Taifu and would definitely take part in the imperial examination. Qin Jia Silang would definitely have a seat among the Jinshi, if not the top three. Otherwise, it would bring disgrace to Li Taifu's name.
On the other hand, if he was not good enough for the imperial examinations, he would not be favored by Master Li, let alone become his last disciple.
Thinking of this, the smile on Grandpa Xiao Anzi's face became even brighter.
Qin Dafu personally took out a bulging purse and stuffed it into the hands of eunuch Xiao Anzi.
"Thank you for making such a special trip, I will treat you to tea as a small token of my appreciation."
This was a happy event. Eunuch Xiao Anzi felt that he would have to deal more with the Qin family in the future, so he did not refuse.
The purse contained wedding money and he should accept it. If he didn't accept it, the Qin family might think that they had offended him, which would be bad.
If there is anything I can suggest in the future, please feel free to do so.
"Then I will shamelessly take this to share in the joy."
Eunuch Xiao Anzi called himself a servant, which really gave the Qin family enough face. His words were very polite and pleasant to the ear.
Qin Erlu personally invited eunuch Xiao Anzi to come down and drink in the wedding wine.
"I also wanted to stay and have some wedding wine, but the emperor is still waiting for me to report back, so I won't stay any longer. Goodbye!"
You must be kidding. The Empress Dowager and Prince Xiaoyao are both in the Qin family, and the Sixth Princess is also here. How can a eunuch like him stay and pretend to be big?
It is true that I want to go back and report to the Emperor. I came here today to announce the imperial edict and to see how the Empress Dowager is feeling so that I can go back and report to the Emperor.
Seeing that the Empress Dowager had a rosy complexion and was in high spirits, one could tell that Princess Xiaoyao was serving her meticulously.
"Then next time you are free, please come to my house for a drink."
“Having the opportunity to define inescapable.”
"Father-in-law, walk slowly."
Eunuch Xiao Anzi came here on horseback and ran away soon.
The Qin family's neighbors noticed how busy the Qin family was today as soon as carriages started arriving.
After the master came back from the morning court, he understood what was going on.
When they saw the carriages of Lord Pei, the Fang family, Grand Tutor Li, the Que family and other noble families arriving, they were eager to come over and find out a little.
However, they did not receive an invitation from the Qin family, so it was not easy for them to come here shamelessly.
Now not only has Eunuch Xiao Anzi come directly to deliver the imperial edict, it is said that the Qin family and the Xiaoyao Palace are also close. The neighbors on both sides can no longer sit still and shamelessly come to congratulate.
If you miss this opportunity, you will never have such a good chance to be shameless again in the future.
Anyone who comes is a guest, there is no reason to chase them away.
Today is another happy day, so the Qin family simply opened the door to welcome guests.
The neighbors of the Qin family were all the residences of officials of the fourth rank or above in the capital. Those who came were all prominent people, mainly coming for the Pei and Que families, and most importantly, King Xiaoyao.
I also want to see where the Qin family comes from and how they know so many top nobles.
Isn't it said that the Qin family is just a farming family?
All the customers were men, and since they didn't know each other well, the female customers didn't feel comfortable visiting.
At this moment, there were countless male guests outside the front yard of the Qin family. Qin Renshan brought Qin Dafu and Qin Sixi to receive them personally.
Some people couldn't help but start asking indirectly. The Qin family masters and their friends had drunk the intelligence-enhancing potion twice, so how could they not understand their true intentions? They all blocked their questions with a loud shout.
I've already given you face by letting you in, but you're already impatient to make indirect comments as soon as you come in?
Such a bad character!
The father and his sons remembered the person who had just come in and started to make indirect comments, and refused to have any contact with him afterwards.
If it wasn't a happy day today, we wouldn't have let these people in.
A few smart ones did not ask themselves, but listened from the side. Seeing that the Qin family was not that stupid, they gave up the idea of prying out. There was still a long time to come, and they would have the chance to find out if they waited.
As for Qin Erlu, he naturally accompanied General Pei and Xiao Jingyi and others who had just arrived.
They have private matters to discuss and cannot do so in public.
The female family members went to the backyard one after another. Before leaving, Bei Lexuan walked up to Qin Erlu to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, second brother!"
Qin Erlu hurriedly returned the greeting, "Thank you!"
The interaction between these two people was actually normal and there was nothing to see.
But in the eyes of the Bai family, it is not that simple.
The Bai family even kept their eyes on Qin Erlu, even the maids and servants who served them.
Even though Qin Erlu had his back to the Bai family, he could still feel as if his back was burning as if someone was staring at him.
After expressing her gratitude, the instigator, Bei Lexuan, smiled and went to the backyard with Qin Zhongyue and other female relatives.
Little Langya and Old Lady Bei looked at each other and hurried to catch up with Bei Lexuan.
The women returned to the backyard and continued the topic they had not finished before.
Pei Lexuan sat down obediently next to her mother. Now that they were in someone else's house, it was not appropriate for the old lady Pei to talk to the child, so she went to the Empress Dowager to continue talking.
The Grand Empress Dowager also knew Bae Lexuan, and she used to often use her own handwritten letters to ask for imperial physicians for her. It was not appropriate for others to gossip about an unmarried girl, so the Grand Empress Dowager still cared about Bae Lexuan very much.
Now she was talking to Old Lady Bei, and there was no one else around.
"I think Xuan'er is fine now."
When Bai Lexuan arrived, the Empress Dowager had just seen her. She was much braver than before and didn't breathe heavily all the time.
When talking about her most beloved granddaughter, Lady Bae's face was all smiles, and she didn't care that the Empress Dowager now called herself "me".
"Thanks to your concern, it's a great relief, and it's all thanks to the princess!"
"Oh?
What do you mean? Tell me quickly, it will wake you up."
Lady Bei had asked the Grand Empress Dowager before why she appeared in the Qin family. She would not be surprised if she appeared in the palace. She already knew that the Grand Empress Dowager had narcolepsy and was being treated by the princess.
Basically, I will follow the princess until my narcolepsy is cured.
She did not hide the fact that they had some friendship when they were still girls. However, when the old Immortal Emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager was busy with palace fighting in the harem. She happened to marry General Pei and even followed the army for several years. Gradually, the two of them became distant and had less and less contact.
The old lady Bei recounted in detail how, after she heard that her second son might be sacrificed, she did not believe it and secretly left the capital for southern Xinjiang. Her eldest son and his wife came to wait for her, and she fell ill on the way back to the capital and was rescued by Qin Zhongyue.
The Empress Dowager listened with great fascination. She would never have such a bizarre experience in her lifetime.
"Yes, it's just that I wasn't rescued by Yue'er. If it weren't for her, I would have gone to see the old emperor long ago."
The two of them now talked about Bei Lexuan and Qin Zhongyue.
"The princess is truly a blessed person. You will have a happy life ahead of you!"
The Empress Dowager's face was always smiling when the old lady Bei said that.
“Yes, I really didn’t expect it.
You don't have to envy me. Your children, grandchildren, and family are together every day. Now your second son is back. You are happier than me."
The Empress Dowager really envied Lady Pei. Although her husband died early, she had children by her side.
Unlike her, who had been alone in the palace for so many years, if she had not assisted an emperor to emerge, she might have been buried with him long ago.
As a result, she ended up being lonely and helpless all her life. She really envied the old lady Bae.
Lady Bei knew that the Grand Empress Dowager was reminiscing about her youth, and was afraid that she would think too much, so she quickly changed the subject.
Changing the subject is still a way of comforting people. The best way that Old Lady Pei can think of is to expose her own shortcomings and let the other person know that what she envies is not as good as she thinks.
The younger generations in the family are all promising, but the only one who worries her the most is Bae Lexuan.
As for the children born to her son's concubine, she had never treated them well, but she had never lacked food and drink, so it was impossible to expect her to be more intimate with them.
The family is now troubled by the affairs of the illegitimate children, especially the two who are restless.
So she started talking about the worst ones in the family.
Of course, most people would never tell the old lady about this. This is a family scandal anyway. Isn't she the Empress Dowager? It's not good to let her envy her all the time. It would be bad if she became jealous.
“Having more children is also a debt.
Take my second son for example. I thought he was gone, so I went to look for him, but I couldn't find my son. Instead, I brought back his concubine and two illegitimate children, all of whom were in their teens.
The second son's wife had reluctantly accepted it because the second son was no longer around, but now that the second son is back, all the old grudges are being settled again."
"It's not good for a man to be alone without someone who understands his well-being."
What the Empress Dowager wanted to say was, which man doesn't have a confidant by his side? She has the most say in this matter.
However, the wife of the second son of the Bae family is not from an ordinary family. It was because she lost her mother when she was young that her cruel stepmother promised her to a family like the Bae family.
It's not that the Pei family is bad, it's just that ordinary people can't get married into this family.
Precisely because he is too good, most families would not marry their daughters to him. After all, they are living on the edge of a knife, and they might not be able to come back one day.
This matter caused a lot of trouble in the capital at that time. In the end, the girl compromised on her own. Pei Zheng was not yet a general at that time.
The Empress Dowager could understand it if she thought about it.
"The second son did go too far. The concubine was originally a distant cousin of my stepmother's family. She used her status to do something. When we found out, the two children were already that old."
The Empress Dowager didn't know what to say.
Every family has its cupboard.
"I remember that girl Xuan'er has also reached the age of marriage.
Now you are old enough to get married, you can start arranging things.
Think more about good things and let your second child solve the mess himself.
He owes it to his wife."
"That's right. I'm old too, but if the second brother really bullies his wife, I will still intervene. I can't be so heartless."
"As for Xuan'er's marriage, let's wait a little longer. I don't think any good family in the capital would be willing to meet her."
The Empress Dowager knew that the main reason was that the Bai family was reluctant to see their daughter suffer any injustice.
"In my opinion, the Qin family is pretty good. Their financial situation was not good before, but it is slowly getting better now, and it will only get better in the future. Most importantly, their people have good character.
I have inquired about it, and only the eldest is married, while the three younger ones are still unmarried."
The Empress Dowager really likes the atmosphere of the Qin family and sincerely thinks that the Qin family is great.
Thinking of my own identity, "Don't think that I am here to speak for the Qin family. The Qin family doesn't know about it yet.
I saw that girl Xuan'er today, and she got along well with the Qin family.
I'm just saying it, but you still need to look at it carefully for yourself."
"I know your good intentions."
The two old ladies chatted very happily, and the Empress Dowager became more and more energetic as they talked, and she didn't even feel sleepy at all.
Qin Zhongyue had just sat with Que for a while and was about to talk about the beauty water when Liu Po came over to find her.
"Princess, you said in the morning that you would be called before the meal."
"Okay, I'll come."
Qin Zhongyue turned around and apologized to Que: "Please sit down for a while. I'll be back soon."
"Go do your thing, there are too many people here."
Que knew that she must be busy today.
As a result, just as Qin Zhongyue left, the Sixth Princess came over and sat down. Looking at the passionate Sixth Princess, Que always had a bad feeling.
Qin Zhongyue went to make the delicious food that she had promised the Empress Dowager yesterday.
Because she had just learned it from the videos in the system, she had to do it herself.
When the people in the kitchen saw the princess coming, they became reserved and did things more carefully.
