Chapter 278 Fu Niu is a small landowner!

While everyone was curious and wanted to peek out, the Marquis closed the box and glanced at Brother Li and Brother Cat at the end of the kang.

The old lady understood and immediately said: "Brother Li, Brother Cat, it's time to go to bed. Why don't you see your fourth and fifth brothers? Help grandma look for them."

 Brother Li and Brother Cat didn't know what was going on, and they didn't have any doubts, so they went to the ground and went out.

Ye Shan bolted the door quickly, and then the Marquis opened the box, revealing the golden imperial edict inside.

The Li family covered their mouths in shock and almost screamed.

The Marquis quickly opened it, glanced at it and laughed, "Aunt, it's a good thing to hold Fu Niu in your arms to receive the order."

The old lady took a deep breath, stood up, hugged her granddaughter, and knelt down with her sons.

Even Ye Shan was kneeling aside.

The Marquis quickly read the imperial edict. Except for Li Zhensheng, everyone in the room didn't quite understand the gorgeous words in front of it, but the key points in the last few sentences were still clear.

The adopted daughter of Marquis Xinting was granted the title of Princess Kangle, and the fiefdom was Suijintan with a radius of twenty miles.

 Twenty miles around Suijintan, that is to say, Suijintan, together with Dahuaishu Village, Dawang Village and Xiaowang Village, are all Fu Niu's fiefdom.

From now on, every year's taxes will be paid to Fu Niu, and Fu Niu can even adjust the tax rate and collect corvee.

This reward is simply too rich and amazing.

 You must know that even military princes like Mr. Hou, the only cousin of the emperor's mother's family, do not have fiefs.

Jiayin A two-year-old girl is already a small landowner? !

  Although this fiefdom cannot be smaller, it is definitely unique and extremely special.

 “Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. Long live Your Majesty!” Seeing that the Li family had been frightened, Ye Shan quickly led them to kowtow to express gratitude.

Old Mrs. Li was helped up and sat on the edge of the kang again, still dazed.

Jiayin hugged the golden edict and smiled so much that his mouth watered.

Seeing that her granddaughter's saliva was about to drip onto the imperial edict, Mrs. Li shivered in fright, hugged her granddaughter, and stuffed the imperial edict into the Marquis's arms.

"Master Hou, what should we do about this matter? Fu Niu'er is still so young. Our Li family cannot afford such a reward."

Even Li Zhensheng and the other brothers frowned, obviously more surprised than happy.

The Li family is naturally grateful for the emperor's kindness, but the Li family is just a small farmer, and Jiayin is only a child over two years old.

If outsiders knew about it, both the Li family and the good news would be at the forefront, and they might cause trouble again.

 For the Li family, living a stable life and quietly getting rich is the best choice at the moment. They really don't want to be in the limelight and become a target.

  Not only was the Marquis not angry, he was actually very happy.

If this matter were brought to other people's homes, they would immediately beat gongs and drums to announce it to the world, but the Li family did not let it go to their heads. The first consideration was the safety of the family.

It is really rare to be so awake.

The Marquis carefully collected the imperial edict, then handed the box to Jiayin, and then explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Auntie, since the Emperor did not send anyone to deliver the edict at the banquet, he instead chose to deliver it secretly at night, so that it can be delivered to our family. Decide for yourself when to announce this.

"Left and right broken gold beach has been exempted from taxes for three years. Now is the first year. It will not be too late to wait until two years to come out with this imperial edict. By then, Fu Niu will be almost five years old, and the family will have a firm foothold here. Son, don’t be afraid even if someone covets you.”

Mrs. Li, her mother and her son all breathed a long sigh of relief with gratitude on their faces, "The emperor's kindness is so great. Thank you so much for your consideration of our family despite your busy schedule."

The Marquis nodded and said, "The taxes from the nearby villages will be handed over soon. Do you want me to send someone to collect them? Does Fu Niu keep them?" "No, no!" Mrs. Li quickly waved her hand, "At home. If you want to hide the imperial edict for two years, then hide it until the end. You should pay the taxes of those villages. The emperor's new residence happens to be here and he needs money and food.

"The emperor has made Fu Niuer the princess. Our family is already very grateful. How can we covet this little money again? Besides, the current income of the family is enough to spend."

Li Laoer also agreed with my mother's idea and echoed: "Yes, the jade melons and golden fruits sold this year are thanks to the blessing of the emperor's name."

Seeing this, the Marquis no longer tried to persuade him, "Then it's settled, put the imperial edict first. If the family encounters difficulties someday, or I have trouble outside, taking out the imperial edict at that time will be a blessing to the family." point."

“Bah, bah!” Mrs. Li quickly spat on the ground, glared at Mr. Hou and said angrily, “Children’s words are unbridled, and the wind will blow them away! What nonsense are you talking about? You don’t have any control over your mouth!”

The Marquis laughed when he was scolded.

After chatting for a few more words, he slowly walked back with Ye Shan, leaving the Li family to disperse and rest.

Mrs. Li helped her eldest son back to the west room to rest. After a moment of hesitation, she briefly explained the difference between her granddaughter and her granddaughter.

The purpose is to let the eldest son know that there is a reason why the Marquis is so kind to his family, and he can trust the Marquis in his future actions.

Li Zhensheng has always felt that his little niece is too smart. Now he heard my mother's vague words, but didn't ask any more questions.

 He has returned home. As the eldest son of Li, he is responsible for the safety of the family's young and old.

 Don’t say that my little niece is just smarter and has more magical abilities.

Even if the niece is really a mountain spirit and monster, no one can bully her if she is born in the Li family!

When Mrs. Li saw what her son said, she felt relieved and went out to prepare some decoction and medicine for her son.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, the two sisters-in-law, were chatting and watching the medicine boiling.

Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter-in-law after a busy day, so she sent them to bed. She personally looked at the medicine jars and fanned the wind to add firewood.

 Brother Li and Brother Cat came back from outside. Seeing this, they ran over and hugged grandma's arm to talk. They were very close to each other.

The brothers watched their father drink the medicine before following their grandma back to the house to sleep.

Li Laosan smiled naively, hugged the quilt, squeezed into the west room, and slept next to his eldest brother.

I thought about taking care of my elder brother at night, chatting with him about my inner thoughts, and rekindling the brotherhood that had been separated for more than ten years...

 The time for reunions always flies by quickly. Jiaren only took two days off so as not to delay classes at the college. He would go back to Luo'an in the afternoon.

Li Laosan and his family of three naturally want to go back.

Mrs. Li thought of Brother Li, so while everyone was sitting under the eaves chatting, she called her grandson to her and asked: "Brother Li, you were studying in Luo'an before. Do you like the teachers and classmates there?" Don’t go back with your elder brother and continue studying in the academy?”

 Brother Li subconsciously looked at his father.

Just a few days after returning home, my father's complexion improved a lot, and it was obvious that his condition would no longer be serious.

 But he was still a little worried about leaving home and going back to Luo'an to study.

Li Zhensheng saw his son's little thoughts and said, "Don't worry, you can go and study if you like. Dad is with grandma and he will definitely get better soon. Then he will take his brother to the academy to see you."

Brother Li nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, I like studying in Luo'an. My husband is very funny and will often praise me."

Everyone laughed. After all, they are children and like to hear praises.
