After the eunuch who passed the order left, Li Mansion became a sea of joy.
Li Jingmo and his wife held the imperial edict and read it over and over. They also whispered and laughed from time to time, and their joy was beyond words. Li Zexuan estimated that if there was an ant on the imperial edict at this time, Li Jingmo would be able to catch it.
"Dad, have you seen enough?"
The father and mother had been watching for almost half an hour, and Li Zexuan couldn't bear it anymore.
"Why, your mother and I gave birth to you and raised you, and finally saw that you are promising, why can't you take a closer look?"
Father Li was in an extremely happy mood today, and for the rare moment he did not quarrel with Li Zexuan when he heard this. Li Zexuan said before that he had been knighted. Although Father Li was excited, he was still a little worried that something might happen. Now that the imperial edict was in hand, Father Li's heart finally fell to the ground and he could laugh loudly.
"Uh, no, dad and mom, you can watch it as long as you want. I just want to ask, where is my fiefdom?"
Li Zexuan scratched his head in embarrassment. Who told him that he was not a Chinese major at the beginning? He didn't understand the edict announced by Chamberlain Liu just now. This was a cultural disadvantage.
Father Li glared at Li Zexuan: "Ignorant and incompetent, I can't even understand the imperial edict. Didn't Chamberlain Liu just tell me the location of your fiefdom? You said before that you wanted to find a husband for Lan'er. I think you also need one." Teach me well, sir!"
Li Zexuan was very embarrassed.
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this: "Xuan'er, why do you care so much about your fiefdom? It just so happens that according to His Majesty's decree, your fiefdom is more than 2,000 acres of fertile land in Mei Village, Lantian County, which is just a few kilometers away. Hanjiazhuang is not far away.”
Ignoring his father's scolding, Li Zexuan opened his mouth in shock when he heard his mother's words, and asked doubtfully: "The fields in Plum Village? Wasn't that bought by Liu Shiren?"
Li Jingmo snorted coldly: "He bought it with money, but that doesn't mean that the land is his. If the court wants to take it back, how dare he refuse to hand it over? But the court will also give him some compensation."
Li Jingmo also knew about Lan'er's bullying in Hanjiazhuang. If it weren't for the fact that Li Zexuan had severely punished Liu Haojian, Li Jingmo himself would have found someone to take action.
Li Zexuan nodded clearly and asked: "Dad, if the court wants to take away our land in Hanjiazhuang in the future, will it be like what Liu Shiren is doing now?"
Li Jingmo nodded: "Theoretically, this is indeed the case, but Xuan'er, you are now a baron. As long as you do not commit any crimes, the court should not take away the land of Hanjiazhuang at will. As far as my father knows, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty basically In addition to their own fiefdom, every family in the world will spend money to purchase some land elsewhere, and your Majesty will generally not take away their land."
So that’s it, then I have to take care of two Zhuangzi in the future, with more than 5,000 acres of land. Well, I have to connect the two Zhuangzi together in the future to build a new feudalist countryside, haha, Li Zexuan thought happily.
……………
The elegant room on the top floor of Yunxi Building.
A young man was holding a wine glass, tasting wine, and looking down at the pedestrians on the street.
There was a soft knock at the door, and then a middle-aged scribe in black walked in cautiously and respectfully said to the young master: "Second Master..."
"Huh?" Before he could finish speaking, the young master said softly without turning his head, and an unruly coldness suddenly filled the entire room.
Even if he couldn't see the young master's face, the middle-aged scribe knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he slapped himself in the mouth and changed his words: "Young master!"
The young master then asked: "How is the matter going? Has Yuan Wendao's impeachment been successful?"
The middle-aged man in black did not dare to raise his head and whispered: "Sir, Yuan Wendao's impeachment failed, and Li Zexuan was made a baron by His Majesty."
"Humph, what a waste!"
The young male slapped the table hard and roared angrily.
"My lord, forgive me!"
The man in black suddenly fell silent and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
After a while, the young master picked up the wine glass, took a sip of sake, and said calmly: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The man in black gave a detailed report on Li Zexuan's rebuttal to Yuan Wendao and Wei Zheng's impeachment in the morning. After hearing what happened, the young master closed his eyes and meditated for a long time before murmuring to himself:
"Oh, I didn't expect that Li Zexuan not only escaped this disaster, but also got a blessing in disguise. This kid seems to be sent by God to specifically fight against me. Half a month ago, I was sent to take over Yunxi Tower, and that kid When he pushed out the gnawed chicken at Zuixian Tower, he thought he was just an ant at first and could easily crush him to death. Unexpectedly, he soon befriended Cheng Chumo and the prince, and the ant turned into a grasshopper and gained the strength to fight. Now, he has been knighted unexpectedly, and this little grasshopper has turned into a tiger again, with teeth of his own. Things are really getting more and more interesting, haha!"
The middle-aged man in black felt ashamed and said: "It's my subordinate's incompetence in doing things. Please punish me, Master!"
"Is it useful to punish you? I will let you remember what happened this time, so you don't have to come back to see me next time if you fail!"
The middle-aged man in black hurriedly said: "Don't worry, young master, there won't be a next time!"
The young master nodded and then asked: "Then Wang Erhu still doesn't want to come to Yunxi Tower?"
"Reporting to the young master, my subordinate has paid twice the monthly salary of Zuixian Tower, but Wang Erhu is still unwilling to come. Young Master, this person is so ignorant of promotion, otherwise I will send someone to teach him a lesson."
The young master shook his head: "Today is different from the past. Now that Li Zexuan is knighted, we have gone too far and are easily exposed. Besides, even if Wang Erhu is brought to our Yunxi Building, Li Zexuan can still train a second Wang Erhu. Yes. For me, it doesn't matter how the business of Yunxi Building is, but I am not willing to lose to that person."
The middle-aged man in black did not dare to answer the call, and the room fell into silence.
After a moment, the young master spoke and asked: "How many guests of Zuixian Tower have we taken away now?"
The middle-aged man in black pondered for a few breaths before replying: "I probably got 30% to 40% of it, but I heard that Zuixianlou has also started to cut prices."
"Then we will also lower the price. By the way, did Li Zexuan explain why he bought so many chicks in the morning?"
The young master suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Reporting to the young master, Li Zexuan said that he raised so many chickens firstly to subsidize the household income, and secondly for the 128-course chicken banquet that their Zuixianlou will launch next year. It is said that their new dishes require free-range chickens. chicken."
"Hmph, do you believe this?"
The young master thought for a moment and then sneered.
"Well, sir, I think what Li Zexuan said is quite reasonable!"
The middle-aged man scratched his head and wondered.
"You are just a pig head. Although I can't guess his real purpose, I'm sure he won't do it just for this, and I don't think the emperor will believe it. Also, my good brother is doing something recently What?"
The young master first mocked the middle-aged man, and then asked suddenly. He deliberately emphasized the word "good brother".
"Back to the Young Master, the Eldest Young Master has not done much recently. However, the Eldest Young Master spent 500 yuan at Qiqi Pavilion yesterday to get a red supreme membership card. I don't know what the Eldest Young Master means."
The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"Hmph, my good brother is probably interested in my nemesis, right?"
The young master snorted coldly, and the room fell into silence again.
