The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

Zhao Ye was so excited that he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow!" the moment he saw the gate of the mansion after getting off the carriage. "What a grand mansion!"

The vermilion door was inlaid with shiny gold-painted animal-faced tin rings, and the door nails were neatly arranged, which looked very imposing.

Above the gate hangs a plaque with the words "Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion" inscribed on it. The font is vigorous and powerful, shining brightly in the sun.

There is a pair of majestic stone lions placed on both sides of the entrance. This entrance alone is enough to make Zhao Ye's expectations along the way worthwhile.

Shen An took a servant and knocked on the door, and briefly explained his purpose to the servant who opened the door.

After hearing this, the attendant hurried to Li Shao and Zhao Ye, bowed and said, "I greet the Marquis and the Marquis, and pay my respects to you two."

"Get up, are you working in this mansion?"

"In reply to your question, my Lord, I was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to guard the mansion. There are many servants in the mansion who are responsible for daily cleaning and maintenance. This plaque is also new. Since the emperor issued the decree, we have been waiting for you to come."

"I am the current owner of this mansion. What about you? Are you going back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

"It's up to you, my Lord. If you like any of the servants in the mansion, you can send someone to report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and they will keep you employed. If you don't find anyone you like, we will return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs after you move in."

Li Shao nodded slightly to show that he understood, but he had no intention of keeping these servants. If his family did not have enough servants, he could just buy more.

He took Zhao Ye's hand and said to the attendant, "Take us in for a look first."

"Yes, my Lord, this way please."

After the group entered the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, the first thing that caught their eyes was a huge screen wall.

The screen wall is made of bricks and stones, and is carved with lifelike unicorns and various landscapes and flowers.

Going around the screen wall is the front yard, which is extremely spacious with the ground paved with bluestone slabs. On both sides of the yard are neatly arranged side rooms for guests to stay in.

Then comes the main hall, which can be used to handle official business and receive important guests.

The beams and pillars in the hall are sturdy and painted with colorful patterns, which are colorful and magnificent.

In the center is a large mahogany desk, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, and behind the desk is an armchair made of huanghuali wood.

There are rows of tables and chairs on both sides for guests to sit.

Behind the main hall is the central courtyard, which is also the inner residence area of ​​the entire mansion. It has an exquisite layout and is equipped with rockery, ponds, pavilions, towers and other places for rest and play.

Behind the central courtyard is the back house, which is where Li Shao, Zhao Ye and their two children live.

The rear house is divided into several courtyards, each with a main house, side rooms and ear rooms.

The furniture in the room is all top-grade mahogany furniture, including a large carved bed, wardrobe, dressing table, tables and chairs, etc.

As for the side courtyards, warehouses, gardens, martial arts training grounds, horse racing tracks, stages, Cuju fields, archery ranges and the like, they are all available.

It is truly a royal residence. Even though it is temporarily unused, it is kept in good condition. Not only is there no damage or decay, there are not even minor problems such as leaks or insect infestations.

After looking at the entire mansion, Li Shao and Zhao Ye were both very satisfied. Almost every detail was to Zhao Ye's liking, and for the time being, they couldn't think of any areas that needed to be adjusted or renovated.

He only told Shen An how to arrange the house when he moved in, and after he actually moved in, he could make any adjustments if he found anything wrong.

Li Shao had no objection. To him, it didn't matter what the sleeping place looked like, as long as Zhao Ye lay next to him. The decoration of the house depended entirely on Zhao Ye's preferences.

After Zhao Ye returned home, he immediately found a street fortune teller and asked him to calculate a good day for moving. Then the whole family moved into the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong.

The new mansion was really big, and there were not enough servants, so Li Shao asked Shen An to go to the human market and buy a lot of servants.

The previous house was not sold. After all, his family was not short of money now, and they had some feelings for the house where they had lived for several years, so he left a few servants to guard the house and clean and maintain it every day.

After being conferred the title of marquis, Li Shao's official position was also adjusted, and on the surface he was promoted from the fourth-rank Lan Tai Shilang to the third-rank Zheng Yan Chang Shi.

It was even more empty than the previous positions. There was no need to report for duty every day or attend court. His duty was to admonish the emperor. However, in Li Shao's position, there was no substantive work content and he just received a salary.

In the eyes of many court officials, this third-rank official position was purely nominal and had no real power.

It seems that the emperor is still wary of Marquis Zhongyong. But it makes sense. Marquis Zhongyong is so famous in Jing Kingdom now. If he has real power in his hands, it is inevitable that he will stir up trouble in the court.

Their group of people made very logical analysis behind the scenes, but in Li Shao's opinion, Jing Xiangting's move was exactly what he wanted.

He had already told Jing Xiangting that the world was now at peace and there was no more war, and he wanted to resign, but was rejected again.

Perhaps in order to show his preferential treatment to meritorious officials, Jing Xiangting gave him such a high-ranking official position of the third rank with an empty title but no real power, in which he did not have to do anything and had free time every day.

Jing Xiangting's choice of Li Shao was exactly what he wanted. It was rare to find such a good subordinate who had great abilities and did not like to fight for power.

In fact, the happiest person should be Zhao Ye. Now her husband no longer has to go out to suppress bandits, handle cases or fight in wars. He can stay at home safely with her every day. He has been granted a title of nobility and has an official position, and he can get a salary without having to go to work.

This wonderful life has made Zhao Ye mutter to himself every morning when he wakes up, "Zhao Ye, why do all the good things in the world fall into your family?" and sigh.

At first, Li Shao discovered that Zhao Ye no longer molested him after waking up in the morning, but instead curled up in the bed, muttering something.

Out of curiosity, he leaned over to listen carefully, and was so amused that he laughed and hugged Zhao Ye, kissing him non-stop, praising him as a real treasure.

However, although Li Shao's life seemed leisurely, he actually had one important thing to do, which was to inspect his fiefdom.

Although according to the calendar and rules of the Jing Dynasty, kings and marquises other than the emperor had no actual governing power over their fiefdoms, and most of the kings and marquises lived in the capital.

However, they enjoyed part of the taxes of their fiefdoms, and had certain judicial powers and the right to appoint and dismiss officials within the fiefdoms.

However, Li Shao had no intention of getting involved in those troublesome matters or becoming the "Lord of a county". If he had such ambition, why didn't he just kill Jing Xiangting and become the emperor himself? What's the point of fighting for the management rights of this county?

But even if Li Shao had no intention of interfering in the various affairs within the fiefdom, according to the rules, he had to inspect his fiefdom after being initially granted the title and understand the basic situation of the fiefdom.

He also sent a few trusted retainers to the local area to supervise it. After all, it was his fiefdom and he couldn't just ignore it.
