Within half a year, he turned the tide and made outstanding achievements repeatedly. After returning to the capital for more than half a month without receiving any rewards, he was suddenly included in the clan and conferred the title of county king. The news spread throughout Chang'an in a short time.
It was not uncommon to grant a county king in the past few years, but Li Shan was too young, and unlike Du Fuwei and Luo Yi, who were the leaders of separatist forces with heavy troops, the whole city was in uproar.
Zhang Wenguan turned over and dismounted, took three steps at a time and rushed to the door, shouting at the top of his voice: "Aunt, aunt, cousin, come quickly!"
The Cui family's house is not big. Mrs. Zhang, who was teaching her daughter about housekeeping, frowned and scolded with a smile: "I'm going to get married in two years. You're still so presumptuous and not quiet when things happen."
But after Mrs. Zhang heard her nephew tell the news in the front hall, she held her hands on the desk, her eyes widened, and her voice trembled slightly, "Prince of Handan County?"
The little lady Cui on the side looks just like her mother, her eyes are round and shining, "Her ancestral home is Chengji, Longxi..."
Zhang also came to his senses, "Huairen is really a descendant of the clan?"
Zhang Wenguan was speechless, "I just said it, the official affiliation of Fu Zong."
Mrs. Zhang thought for a while and asked, "Just for reward?"
"Brother Huai Ren has made many achievements. Since he came out of Daizhou, the Turks have been defeated several times, and it is difficult to cross Yanmen." Zhang Wenguan said casually: "But the saint regards Brother Huai Ren as his nephew, and it is not surprising that he has an official ancestry."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and stopped thinking about it. After thinking about it for a while, a smile appeared on her face.
For this future son-in-law who was displeased at the time, Ms. Zhang now becomes more and more dissatisfied with her. This is a perfect son-in-law from every angle.
Essays on martial arts are all temporary choices. The housework is simple, and there is no need to worry about too many mundane chores. There is a mother-in-law above her who is particularly temperamental... As for the things that make Cui Xin irritated, such as beautiful concubines and pretty maids, and lingering in Pingkangfang, In Zhang's view, it was not a fault.
Well, actually Cui Xin himself doesn't think it's a fault...if it counts, it's mainly because he is his daughter's future husband.
Ms. Zhang felt that the only shortcoming was the lintel. In the marriage certificate, both her father and ancestors had the surname Li, and her ancestral home was Chengji, Longxi, but her name was unknown. She asked privately several times, but Cui Xin only mentioned that even if he was not from a poor family, he could barely be considered a good match.
Besides, in terms of lintel, is there anyone in the world who is higher than the Cui family of Qinghe?
And now, the only shortcoming has been filled.
In this era, family name is the lintel of the family. Although the current royal family is not from the Li family in Longxi, it is still a wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It is a wealthy family with many wives and daughters, sometimes rising and declining, such as the Dugu family, the Fufeng Dou family, and the Hongnong family. The Yang family, the Changsun family in Luoyang, and in the last two generations, there are seven families with five surnames, such as the Wang family in Taiyuan and the Zheng family in Xingyang.
From a certain perspective, although Li Yuan's choice of this award meant that Li Shan was taking the blame, it also made up for the most missing piece of the puzzle about Li Shan in the eyes of the world... his life experience.
Zhang Wenguan said excitedly: "Next time we meet, if Wang Renyou brings this up, I will give him a few slaps!"
"Nonsense." Ms. Zhang scolded her with a smile on her face.
"Aunt, my nephew will take the first step. My uncle will write Zhi Zhongshu. Maybe he will draft the edict." Zhang Wenguan said with a smile: "Brother Siyi posted this just now. Let's have a drink tonight to congratulate Brother Huai."
"That is……"
"Brother Siyi is the eldest son of Duke Yang of Zhongshu Ling. He was admitted to the Shishi Department last year. He is in the same class as Brother Huairen and they are very close friends."
Zhang nodded slightly. She had also heard that Li Shan was friends with Guangji, but she didn't expect Yang Gongren's eldest son to be friends with him... The incident at Dongshan Temple was still fresh in her mind.
After watching her nephew leave, Mrs. Zhang turned her head to look at her daughter and said with a smile, "It's no problem anymore."
Miss Cui lowered her head and remained silent, her white jade-like neck stained with a layer of crimson. This was partly because although they were engaged, there was still a lot of opposition from the Cui clan in Qinghe because Li Shanqin beheaded Cui Bo back then.
Except for Cui Xin, the officials of the Qinghe Cui clan all relied on the East Palace, because Prince Li Jiancheng did not express any objection to Li Shan's soft embrace, but he always relied on the lintel to talk things over. Now this obstacle no longer exists.
On the other hand, Mrs. Zhang intended to give her daughter a hairpin ceremony in advance... After doing the hairpin ceremony, she could get married. However, Cui Xin had always objected and was forced to use the lintel as an excuse when they were already engaged. Zhang Mrs. Zhang several times They all laughed in anger.
It's you who says that you are a good match, but you insist on keeping your daughter until she is fifteen years old. The other Zhangs in the Li family don't care, but Mrs. Zhu has a strong and straightforward temperament, and she is very popular with her daughter and gets along well with her, so Mrs. Zhang Intention to get married as soon as possible.
After all, Li Shan will be crowned next year. If it really drags on for four years, I'm afraid there will be some gap between Mrs. Zhu and her daughter in the future... Mrs. Zhang is Cui Xin's second wife, and she will have a hard time getting along with her mother-in-law after they marry. If anything happens, the old man will say, "What happened to the Lu family back then..."
In addition, the Zhang family had no heirs, and she was the only daughter. While thinking about this, she made plans to persuade her husband later.
At this moment, in Zhongshu Province, Cui Xin reluctantly put on a smile to deal with the colleagues who came to congratulate him, and went to Zhongshu Minister Wen Yanbo to take a leave of absence, preparing to leave his job in advance.
Wen Yanbo had just returned from the palace and said with a smile: "Qinghe is so lucky. Such a hero is really quick, but it is also the work of heaven."
The Cui clan of Qinghe did not have the title of county prince in the Northern Wei, Zhou, Qi, and Sui dynasties. It was not until Cui Xin appeased Yuan Junzhang that he was granted the title of Qinghe County Marquis, so Wen Yanbo was named Qinghe.
"Mr. Yan Bo is too praised."
Yanbo is actually a Chinese character, and Wen Yanbo’s real name is Wen Dalin.
"It is by no means an exaggeration. Just the article "Ai Lian Shuo" is enough for your daughter and son-in-law to be passed down to future generations." Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Just now, His Majesty summoned me and ordered me to go with the Prince of Handan County to inspect Dai and Shuo Prefectures."
Cui Xin's expression changed, he changed the topic and exchanged a few words before leaving. He walked out of Zhongshu Province and walked out of Zhuque Gate from Chengtianmen Street. He turned his head and saw the old Pei Shiju getting into the carriage with the help of the waiter.
More than one person was released from prison early.
Cui Xin returned home in silence. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife rushing to greet him and his daughter with hope in her eyes, which made her already bad mood even worse.
More than half a month ago, Li Shan came back to Beijing to meet him as soon as possible. After leaving the palace, Cui Xin noticed that something was wrong. Li Shan, who had made great achievements, was fined by His Majesty... However, Li Shan still refused to reveal the reason.
Nearly twenty days later, he was suddenly attached to the official registration of the clan and conferred the title of county king. It was very strange. In addition, he just learned that Wen Yanbo, the Duke of Xihe County, the Minister of Zhongshu, was ordered to inspect Daizhou... Cui Xinxin couldn't help but be suspicious. The future son-in-law guessed What happened again?
Listening to his wife's ramblings, Cui Xin sighed, "It's up to you, you send your middle-aged man to inquire, and let the Li family come to ask for an appointment."
The marriage may not necessarily happen this year or next, but the Xu Li family's request for a date means that the marriage has officially been put on the agenda... It can't be postponed for much longer. It will be over in one or two years. There is no way it can be postponed until the age of fifteen. .
Mrs. Zhang looked at her husband in surprise. She had prepared so many words, but before she was even halfway through speaking, her husband's attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees?
Cui Xin cursed in his heart, it would be fine if he didn't know anything about it, but since he knew something, if the Li family was not allowed to come to ask for an appointment, who knows what that boy Li Shan would think... He could be sure of one thing, although he didn't know the inside story, but There must be some danger.
After all, Cui Xin was in a bad mood because of his nature of doting on girls.
But there are still people in Chang'an City who are in a worse mood than Cui Xin because of this incident.
In a small courtyard of Pei's house, Li Dewu leaned on the couch, pouring himself a drink and cursing: "I don't recognize my father, and now I don't even recognize my ancestors!"
