It is estimated that the only disappointed person among the crowd was Liu Haonian's wife. Liu's father is still alive and Liu Haonian has not yet ascended the throne, so naturally she has not been crowned. But Liu Hao will ascend the throne in the next year, and she will naturally have a title by then! But it definitely doesn’t exist now!
However, she was the eldest sister-in-law, and she also knew that her destiny would be inevitable sooner or later, so she calmly arranged to pay rewards to everyone. The servants did not expect that after receiving a batch of rewards in the New Year, there would be an additional batch of rewards. Naturally, they burst into joy and kept throwing out auspicious words that did not require money, making the atmosphere in the house even more lively!
After naturally returning to the main hall and sitting down, Liu Haojia took out a document from his sleeve and opened it. This document was quietly stuffed into him just now.
After reading it, he handed the document to Tan Cuiying and said, "Let me tell you, Zhang Banban wouldn't have made such a big mistake. The matter has indeed been settled!"
Tan Cuiying took the document and looked at it, and she burst into tears immediately! It turned out that this document was none other than a document to his father. The above proves that Tan Cuiying's father was innocently bitten by the criminal during the trial.
The reason why Liu Haojia was not surprised was because they knew that since Tan Cuiying was given a royal decree, it meant that her father must have been raped! Otherwise, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the daughter of a criminal would not get any title. And the reason why she secretly gave him the document was most likely to make him make Tan Cuiying happy. But he didn't expect Liu Haojia to make it public immediately.
Seeing everyone's surprised looks, Liu Haojia briefly said a few words about the paperwork, and everyone immediately understood. Liu's mother also comforted Tan Cuiying and said, "This is a good thing! Later, you can take people back to your hometown to settle everything, and then pay homage to your parents to comfort their spirits in heaven!"
Afterwards, Zhang Peijia and her sister-in-law took turns to comfort her. Tan Cuiying also felt that crying during the Chinese New Year was not good, so she adjusted her mood and put away her tears, saying, "I'm not sad, I'm just excited for a moment. It's okay now!" "
Everyone looked at her face carefully and saw that she was indeed fine, so they turned their attention back to the imperial edict! Especially when the elder sister-in-law said deliberately and bitterly: "Both my brothers and sisters are already destined to die, but I am not. Husband, you have to work hard!"
Her words caused everyone to laugh, which completely resolved the awkward atmosphere. At this time, Liu's father said with emotion: "Originally, I thought Long Live Master had forgotten about this matter, but I didn't expect that he gave us a surprise in the New Year!"
When Liu Haojia saw that his servants had all left, he said disdainfully: "What kind of surprise is this? I should have sent it out long ago! I thought he sent it too late!"
Liu's father said with a slightly straight face: "It's not easy to say this nonsense! You must know that thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"
Liu Haojia picked up the wine glass and took a sip and said: "I did things for him, and he gave me a title and money! But he beat me with what I deserve. It's really boring!"
The Liu family has been brainwashed quite a bit by Liu Haojia in the past few years, and they have gradually agreed with some of his ideas, so they don't have much reaction to his deviant words. If it were normal, Father Liu and Mother Liu would have grabbed his ears and taught him a lesson about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism! But today, they just sighed and changed the topic.
After everyone had dinner, some played cards, some chatted, and this year's New Year's Eve passed by. The next day was the first day of the new year, and it was the time to visit and walk around. The Liu family was naturally bustling with people!
Since the rise of Liu Jiasheng, many relatives who had left before have returned. Liu Haojia even selected some reliable ones and re-accepted them to work for the family. The continuous flow of New Year greetings from these people made the entire Gu Ninghou Mansion look prosperous! .
Because everyone knows that the real person in charge of the Liu family is Liu Haojia, so everyone who visits wants to see him. This made it impossible for him to leave, and had to send someone to send a letter to Zhang Shunping saying that he would leave later.
When it was close to noon, Liu Haojia finally sent everyone away and rushed to Zhang Shunping's home. As soon as he approached the Zhang family's door, the concierge, who had been waiting for him for a long time, shouted loudly: "My uncle is here!"
Immediately, there was a lot of excitement in front of the house.
A group of servants and maids rushed out to pay Liu Haojia New Year greetings. The servant behind him was well prepared and took out a lot of red envelopes to reward each one, so he received more congratulations!
When he walked to the main hall, Zhang Shunping had already greeted him. After seeing Liu Haojia, he couldn't wait to say: "Xianxiang, I heard that the Long Live Lord issued a decree last night to seal my two daughters?"
Liu Haojia was startled when he heard this and said loudly: "Zhang Yue, how come you got the news so quickly?"
Zhang Shunping waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "There is nothing that can be hidden from anyone in this capital! Tell me quickly, is it true?"
Liu Haojia nodded helplessly and said, "It's indeed true! I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect the news to have been leaked!"
Zhang Shunping laughed loudly and announced the news to his servants! At this time, Zhang Pejia and two people had just walked into the front hall, and they were congratulated again by the servants!
Then Zhang Shunping asked a banquet to be held to celebrate his two daughters. Liu Haojia figured that it would be more comfortable to eat at Zhang Shunping's place if he went to other people's homes to pay New Year greetings at this time, so he just stayed.
But he didn't feel comfortable eating this meal! Because many people related to Zhang Shunping have been paying attention to his whereabouts for a long time. When they found out that he was at Zhang Shunping's home, they rushed over in the name of visiting Zhang Shunping, hoping to establish some relations with Liu Haojia!
As a result, a family celebration feast turned into a feast for more than a dozen people! Even in the backyard, a few tables were set up to entertain the ladies and ladies who came with them!
After having lunch, Liu Haojia said goodbye to many people who came to see him, and began to wander around the homes of various distinguished nobles. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in the entire officialdom, which everyone silently abides by, and that is to determine the order of New Year greetings based on actual status.
For example, Zhang Juzheng absolutely does not need to pay New Year greetings to anyone. Even the Wanli Imperial Capital sent people to pay New Year greetings to him! The people below him are arranged in order according to their official positions. But there is another requirement for official positions, and that is the actual amount of power one holds.
In other words, an empty-handed Marquis may have to find an excuse to pay New Year greetings to a powerful Earl! But now, considering Liu Haojia's status and power, he only needs to recruit a few established nobles. But after he walked through these houses, it was still evening!
