Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 190 Excited

When Chen Xun heard that Jin Lian had not been transferred, there were now three ministers in the household department, which meant that one more person needed to leave, either Jin Lian or himself, and Jin Lian managed the household affairs very well.

Then I am the only one left. I have the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but I don’t really care about many things. In other words, I may be transferred from the Ministry of Revenue.

Then Zhu Qiyu said some other things above and announced that he would go to court.

The military generals were very happy. They and the nobles all benefited from this court meeting.

The military generals were promoted, and the number of nobles increased by three, giving them more confidence to fight against the civil servants.

The key is that Lin Cunde has been knighted, which makes the nobles more confident.

Those nobles were actually very envious of Wang Ying, including Shi Heng. Although Wang Ying was eventually granted a title, Wang Ying just went to the border and killed so many Wala cavalry. This was a real achievement. Behind this achievement, there is the shadow of Lin Cunde. Without Lin Cunde giving Wang Ying a crossbow, it would be impossible for Wang Ying to win this battle.

And now that Lin Cunde has been granted the title of earl, he will join them. Once there is a war, they also hope that Lin Cunde will come up with good things, not necessarily weapons.

In addition, Wang Ying was attacked by rumors, and so many rumors were immediately spread in the capital. Lin Cunde really protected Wang Ying, and it can be said that he spared no effort, and even said that he did not want to offend so many cabinet ministers.

"Congratulations, Admiral Wang!" As soon as they left the Fengtian Palace, the nobles congratulated Wang Ying.

"Thank you, thank you, um, in a few days, I will host a banquet, and everyone will have to come. This time it all depends on you. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have such a good opportunity. Everyone must come to the house by then. You won't come back until you're drunk!" Wang Ying immediately handed them over and said.

After hearing this, the honorable nobles became even happier, and Wang Ying appreciated it.

"Definitely there!" Cheng Anhou said with a smile and patted Wang Ying.

"Well, I will let everyone eat and drink well when the time comes. Hahaha, let's go!" Wang Ying was very happy. The title of marquis has been decided. The key is that his son-in-law will be granted the title of uncle. Can he participate in the imperial examination in the future? The most important thing is that Lin Cunde will be doing things in the army from now on.

Soon, those generals left the palace. Some generals wanted to invite Wang Ying to have a drink. Wang Ying quickly waved his hand and said: "We will talk about the drinking in a few days. I have to be at home these days, and so do you. Also go home and spend time with your wife and children!”

The generals also laughed when they heard it.

After Wang Ying came out of the palace, she did not go home. Instead, she went straight to Lin Cunde's mansion to inform Lin Cunde about Lin Cunde's earldom and make Lin Cunde happy.

Wang Ying got off her horse from the door of Lin Cunde's mansion. The servants at the door of the mansion saw it and quickly opened the door. Wang Ying walked in with a smile.

"Good nephew, good nephew!" Wang Ying entered Lin Cunde's mansion and began to shout, her tone full of excitement.

Lin Cunde was in the study. When he heard Wang Ying's greeting, he stood up and walked outside.

Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli also heard it and came out of the side room and raised their hands to Wang Ying.

"Prepare the incense table and sacrificial objects as soon as possible. The imperial edict will arrive in the afternoon or tomorrow morning!" Wang Ying shouted to Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli.

"Ah?" The two of them still didn't understand what was going on.

"My nephew is going to be made an earl, it's been decided!" Wang Ying happily shouted to the two of them.

"Ouch!" Lin Cunyi jumped up excitedly at this moment. Lin Cunli also hugged Lin Cunyi, so excited!

"Shibo!" Lin Cunde had just arrived at the door of the living room and saw Wang Ying already there.

"Hahaha, Cunde, it's been decided that you will be granted the title of earl. I came here to tell you!" Wang Ying said loudly to Lin Cunde happily.

"Ah, really?" Lin Cunde heard this and could not contain his excitement.

"Of course it's true. I came here to have a cup of tea and have to go back. I don't know when the imperial edict will arrive, so I don't dare to delay it!" Wang Ying said with a smile.

Lin Cunde quickly moved away from his seat, made a gesture of invitation and said: "Quick, please come inside, it's ready!"

Lin Cunde led the way as he spoke. When Wang Ying arrived in the study, Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli also came in. They wanted to hear more.

"You two, hurry up and get ready, otherwise you will be rude. Go! The imperial edict will arrive soon! It's either this afternoon or tomorrow. Don't be in a hurry then!" Wang Ying looked at the two of them with a smile and said.

"Go, get ready!" Lin Cunde couldn't help but smile and said to the two of them.

"Okay, okay, let's go and get ready!" Lin Cunyi smiled and nodded, and Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunyi went out immediately. Soon the house began to clean up. Zeng and Ye also came out to direct the work below. Carefully sweep the front yard inside and out.

The two of them couldn't help but smile. They were happy just thinking about it. Their fifth brother was knighted and became a master from now on. From now on, in the capital and across the country, they would not dare to go sideways, but no one would dare to bully them easily. Well, even the prefect of Ji'an will have to be polite when meeting his own family members in the future.

And their descendants also have hope of becoming officials. After all, with Lin Cunde here, their children have a chance to enter the Imperial Academy.

Wang Ying sat for a while and then went back. He just said that no one objected to the reaction of the ministers in the court to Lin Cunde's knighthood. This makes Lin Cunde very relieved! Therefore, after sending Wang Ying away, Lin Cunde also came out with his hands behind his back, followed by Qiu Shuang.

"Fourth sister-in-law, don't move around. There is water on the ground, so be careful!" Lin Cunde came out and saw Mrs. Zeng directing her servants to work, and said quickly.

"It's okay. I'll walk slowly and don't slip. Xiao Wu, just rest and leave the family matters to us!" Ms. Zeng said very happily. At this time, her body was full of energy and she couldn't rest. Can you live there?

After hearing this, Lin Cunde pointed to an older maid behind Zeng and said: "Take care of the fourth sister-in-law, hold on!"

"Yes, Master!" The maid also smiled and saluted.

Lin Cunde walked to the study with his hands behind his back, while Qiu Shuang began to come out to give orders. Everyone in the mansion knew that Qiu Shuang's status in the mansion was second only to Lin Cunde and higher than Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli.

In addition, Qiu Shuang had been in Wang Ying's house before and had a lot of experience. It would be right for her to take charge.

"Where's the second brother?" Qiu Shuang asked.

"Here it is!" Lin Cunyi came out of the side room immediately. He was instructing his servants to clean the side room next to him.

"Go and prepare the sacrificial items immediately. They must be prepared and placed when the edict is announced. Also, is the incense table ready?" Qiu Shuang asked Lin Cunyi.

"It's ready, let's see if it works!" Lin Cunyi said, leading Qiu Shuang to the nearby warehouse, where there was a clean red wood incense table.

"It's too small. Get a big one. Go quickly. If you don't have one in the house, go buy a big one!" Qiu Shuang looked at the incense table and immediately shook her head and said.

"Yes, yes, you wait, I will find someone to carry it over!" Lin Cunyi said quickly, there are many incense cases in the mansion.

"The incense table is ready, second brother, you will be responsible for the sacrifices and make sure they are fresh!" Qiu Shuang said to Lin Cunyi.

"Okay, okay!" Lin Cunyi nodded happily.

After Qiu Shuang arranged the incense table and sacrifices, she began to inspect the front yard, including how to place the flowers. It was Qiu Shuang who decided on her own. Lin Cunli followed suit and followed suit. There had never been such a big thing in the house, so Lin Cunli But you should learn it carefully to avoid being in a hurry again in the future.

That afternoon, the Ministry of Rites did not come over, because after the imperial edict arrived, they needed to prepare things for rewards, but there were many. According to the edict, they needed to prepare iron coupons for alchemy books, seals, count uniforms, and other rewards. thing.

The next morning, the Ministry of Rites went to Wang Ying's mansion first. After a while, Lin Cunde heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the direction of Wang Ying's mansion. The sound of firecrackers lasted for almost a quarter of an hour.

Lin Cunde also sent someone to send gifts. After all, Wang Yingfeng was Marquis, and as his nephew and future son-in-law, he must send a gift.

Nowadays, the common people are discussing the knighthood of the three of them, especially the knighthood of Lin Cunde. The common people discuss it the most. They all say that they have the foresight to know that Lin Cunde will definitely be knighted, and there is a hint of pride in their words.

Brothers Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli have been waiting at the door of the mansion, waiting for officials from the Ministry of Rites to arrive. Early in the morning, the Ministry of Rites sent someone to inform them that there would be a decree in the morning, so the two brothers were waiting there. ah.

Lin Cunde was sitting in the study, drinking tea. In fact, he was looking forward to it in his heart, but now everyone in the house was looking forward to it, so he didn't show it.

Even Grandpa Yang was sitting in a corner of the front yard, holding a ceramic cup in his hand, with a child standing behind him, who was dedicated to serving Grandpa Yang.

"Aren't you here yet?" Grandpa Yang was also very anxious, staring in the direction of the door.

"Grandpa Yang, hurry up, don't be anxious!" the kid behind said with a smile.

"Well, our young master is promising!" Grandpa Yang said while taking a sip of tea. His excitement could not be concealed, and a proud expression appeared on his face.

He had grown up with Lin Cunde in his arms. How could Grandpa Yang not be excited to see his child go from babbling to toddlers to now becoming a knight.

"Grandpa Yang, it's too hot, go and rest under the shade of a tree!" Qiu Shuang saw Grandpa Yang sitting there without shelter and shouted quickly.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me!" Grandpa Yang waved his hand quickly and said.

"Take care of Grandpa Yang, don't let the young master worry!" Qiu Shuang smiled and nodded to Grandpa Yang, and then said to the children behind her.

"Yes!" The child quickly answered with his hands raised.

"Come on, come on, Xiao Wu, someone from the Ministry of Etiquette is here!" Lin Cunli rushed in from outside excitedly, shouting loudly.
