After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 745 His Majesty Supports the Xue Family

"Azhui... said... that's right!" The paralyzed old man Meng said this with difficulty, looking at the second master Meng and the three younger generations of the Meng family with his eyes squinting: "I don't understand... learn!"

The two sons and one daughter are all from Mr. Meng and his wife. They are all younger than Xue Mingyi. The oldest, Meng Dalang, is only ten years old, and the youngest, Meng Erlang, is only five years old.

As for Mr. Meng who died suddenly, he wanted to pass the imperial examination before getting married, so he was not engaged when he died and had no children.

Mrs. Xue got married early because she was a young girl and it was not a good idea to delay, so Xue Mingyi was older than Meng Dalang.

Mr. Meng suffered from hemiplegia due to fainting twice due to the sudden death of Mr. Meng and his daughter's difficult labor.

The Meng family hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Dad/Grandfather, we will study hard and will never hold our brother-in-law/uncle back."

"Okay." Mr. Meng said, tears welling up in his eyes and he began to be dazed again.

Xue Dongjia knew that his father-in-law must have thought of his deceased brother-in-law, and he held Mr. Meng's hand and said, "Father-in-law, sir, I am an official now, and I am capable. I will gradually fulfill my brother's ambitions, and I will also find out the truth and avenge my brother."

Mr. Xue studied with Mr. Meng for several years and has a special relationship with the Meng family. He and Mrs. Xue are childhood sweethearts.

"No...no!" Old Master Meng was so anxious that he got a stitch in the side and started coughing violently.

Xue and Meng's families hurried to calm him down, and Xue Dongjia assured him, "I won't do anything, don't be angry, father-in-law."

After saying it several times, Mr. Meng gradually calmed down after hearing it clearly.

"Okay... okay." Old Master Meng looked at Mr. Xue and the Xue and Meng families and said this with worry still in his eyes.

The death of the eldest son was not a simple matter, but the murderer was powerful and it was not something that the Xue and Meng families could contend with.

Although Ah Zhui was able to be appointed as an official due to good fortune, it is conceivable that he must be a minor official.

A small official who is rich but has no powerful clans to support him is just a piece of meat. Not to mention revenge, he might be "eaten" by others one day.

Mr. Meng now only hopes that Xue Zhui can live safely and not think about revenge.

Xue Dongjia said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will protect myself and the people of Xue and Meng families, so that both of our families will be well."

"Okay." Mr. Meng forced a smile, and after gathering enough strength, he said, "Live well... enough."

It's enough to live a good life, don't think about revenge.

If one wants to avenge this, one must at least wait until three generations of the Xue family have become officials and have truly established a foothold in the officialdom and among the aristocratic family.

As they were talking, Xue Gao came in and said excitedly, "Boss, boss, the imperial edict team has arrived in the east of our city. Wenchang Marquis, Yan the governor brought the officials of the governor's office, Gudu Commander brought the officials of the capital's command office, and Fei Zhifu and Zeng Tongzhi all came with the imperial edict!"

"General Liang is here too!"

When everyone heard that General Liang was also there, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief... General Liang would protect them, and they didn't have to worry about being embarrassed by the leaders of the various government offices.

but……

"Mrs. Jing, son-in-law, so many adults are here. Is this honor too great? What if..." Old Mrs. Meng's hands were shaking with panic.

It was a good thing that the son-in-law was given an official title, but it was grand enough that Prefect Fei and his men came to congratulate him, so why did they also bother Gu Yan, the two heads of the Northeastern Prefecture's military? !

The honor was too great, and the old lady was afraid that her son-in-law would not be able to accept it. After all, just one word from Gu and Yan was enough to make the son-in-law's family suffer.

Xue Dongjia also felt that this honor was too great, but he could not panic. He smiled and comforted Old Lady Meng: "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I have made military achievements and was awarded an official position by His Majesty. The two adults are His Majesty's loyal subjects. It must be because of His Majesty that they came to give me face. Don't worry, it's okay. We will receive them well."

What was even more surprising was that Mrs. Fei and old Nanny Wen were also here.

After seeing the Xue family, Aunt Wen said with a smile: "I am here to accompany the Xue family's women on the orders of the Marquis. Madam Xue, don't be nervous. I and Madam Fei will accompany you throughout the trip." Madam Fei smiled and nodded: "Yes."

This?
He really treats the Xue family as his treasure.

Not to mention Mrs. Meng and Mr. Meng, even Mr. Xue and his wife were worried.

In addition to the Xue and Meng families who were shocked, people in the city were also shocked to see a large group of adults congratulating them.

"This, this, this? Am I seeing things right? How come even the governor and the commander-in-chief came to congratulate Mr. Xue on his reward? What exactly is this reward? It has caused such a big fuss. The merchant Xue family is really in big trouble!"

"That's right. A mere merchant can be rewarded for military merit. This is the first time in our Northeast Province, right?"

"I dare not say it's the first time, at least it hasn't happened in the past hundred years!"

"But this is too grand. The most important officials in the entire Northeast Province, even the Marquis of Wenchang, came in person. If you don't know, you would think he was crowned a king."

"Shut up, what are you talking about? You want to die, but we don't." The person kneeling next to him cursed him in a low voice... When the imperial edict passed through the aisle, everyone who saw it had to kneel to greet it.

"Stop making noise, stop making noise, kneel down quickly, a military officer is looking at us."

Sure enough, the sound of horse hooves approached, and the soldiers who had left came back on horseback, stopped at their side, pointed at them and shouted: "Your Majesty personally issued an order to confer rewards, which is a happy event for the country. Anyone who dares to disrespect will be killed without mercy!"

Disrespect will lead to beheading?!

The people kneeling on both sides kowtowed and shouted, "General, spare our lives. We didn't say anything bad. We dare not disrespect your majesty's reward!"

"Yes, yes, yes. We respect Boss Xue. He and the Qin family discovered the hidden spies and helped our Great Wei. They are meritorious officials. We respect meritorious officials the most!"

After hearing this, the soldiers rode away.

After the soldiers left, everyone present fell to the ground with cold sweat on their backs. At this moment, they all understood one thing: the merchant Xue family was no longer the same, they had truly changed their fate.

The merchants who saw all this were like chicken blood, excited, thrilled, and envious, but they dared not hate.

Now they can only look up to Master Xue: "Master Xue, Xue Zhui, and Brother Xue have brought honor to us merchants! My Wang Family Charcoal Shop will give you three pounds of charcoal for free, for three consecutive days, to congratulate Master Xue on his great honor!"

"My Hu Family Restaurant is giving out steamed buns for three consecutive days. Congratulations to Mr. Xue for receiving the reward from His Majesty!"

"My Chen Family Cloth Shop is sending three days of purses to congratulate Mr. Xue on receiving the reward from His Majesty!"

"My Tian Family Grocery Store is giving out candy for three days. Congratulations to Mr. Xue for receiving the reward from His Majesty!"

"My Chang's Grain Shop is giving out one pound of white flour for three consecutive days. Congratulations to Mr. Xue for receiving the reward from His Majesty!"

"I……"

"And my family..."

The merchants in the capital went crazy and all came out to give away free things to add color to the happy event.

Major shops also brought out drums and other music, and started playing various instruments and singing, making the entire capital city lively and bustling.

Seeing this, the imperial guards who announced the decree did not reprimand the merchants for their mischief. Instead, the leading centurion of the imperial guards said, "Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments. Anyone who has made contributions, especially military merits, will be rewarded generously by Your Majesty!"

The eunuch who announced the decree also nodded dignifiedly, and said in a very recognizable shrill voice: "The court has clear rewards and punishments. Those who have made contributions will be rewarded generously and will be able to change their family lineage!"

As soon as these two words were spoken, everyone who heard them was excited, and with deliberate guidance, the news quickly spread throughout the east of the city.
