Zhou Feng lowered his voice and showed fear, "I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the emperor's love."
The emperor put his hands behind his back and laughed, "Whatever I can't afford, I am the emperor, and whatever I say is what I say. If I say you can afford it, you can afford it."
Zhou Feng said nothing more, knelt down and kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that he knew the current affairs, the emperor felt even happier, "Okay, that's it, just wait to receive the imperial edict."
Zhou Feng slowly stood up, bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Less than half a month after leaving the palace, the emperor actually sent him an imperial edict. The imperial edict said that although Zhou Feng was a merchant, he had made a contribution to the rescue and was adopted by the emperor as his adopted son and named the Marquis of Qing'an.
The name Qing'an Marquis sounds nice, but in fact he does not have any specific official position. It is equivalent to giving him a title. In the future, he will not only be able to enter the palace frequently, but also receive rewards from the emperor. ?.?????.???
With the identity of the Marquis, Zhou Feng almost stood up and jumped into the dragon gate.
After General Han and the Third Prince heard about this, they were secretly happy and began to prepare for the marriage of their two children.
The emperor's adoption of his adopted son was a big deal, and it quickly spread throughout the country.
Aunt Zhou heard Aunt Wang talking about this matter before she received Zhou Feng's letter.
"The emperor actually accepted an adopted son. It's really ridiculous. He gave away his three children to his children, and now he actually accepts a child who has no blood relationship as his adopted son."
Although Aunt Wang moves around the Zhou family a lot on weekdays, she still doesn’t know the true identities of Aunt Zhou and the others.
In other words, even if you have already made a guess, you don't dare to think deeply and just pretend you don't know anything.
Aunt Zhou was a little surprised when she heard about the emperor's adopted son, "Do you know who the adopted son is?"
Aunt Wang shook her head, "We in Changliu Village only know this about the news from the capital."
Aunt Zhou was full of curiosity.
At this time, Du Wanchun came back. She had just returned from the rice shop in the county.
"Mom, my second brother sent me a letter."
She smiled and handed the letter in her hand to Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou had not seen Zhou Feng for a long time and was very happy to receive his letter.
She opened the letter with a smile full of joy and saw that Zhou Feng had written in the letter about his wedding to Miss Han and the news that the emperor had adopted him as his adopted son.
After reading the letter, Aunt Zhou was surprised and happy.
Aunt Wang on the side looked at her stunned expression and asked quickly: "Sister Zhou, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhou quickly put the letter away, smiled and said, "Our Feng'er is getting married."
Aunt Wang was overjoyed, "That's great!"
She smiled while holding Aunt Zhou's hand and asked, "Whose girl is she from?"
Aunt Zhou smiled slowly and said, "She is a girl from a wealthy family in the capital."
Aunt Wang became even more happy when she heard this, "Sister Zhou, Feng'er is getting married, are you all going to the capital?"
Aunt Zhou shook her head quickly, looked at Du Wanchun aside and said, "Wangchun's three children are still young, so we probably won't go to the capital."
Aunt Wang was surprised, "Getting married is a big event, how can you, mother, not go?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and replied: "The capital is really too far away. The journey is long and the children are too young to endure it."
Aunt Wang let out a long sigh and said, "What should I do if Feng'er gets married?"
Aunt Zhou also looked a little disappointed, and then said with a smile: "Feng'er has his own house, and there are servants in the house who can help hold the wedding."
Aunt Wang suddenly realized it and said it was a pity.
Aunt Zhou didn't want to go, but the capital was too dangerous. She was too familiar with the emperor, and she might not be able to hide from his eyes even in disguise.
Besides, the emperor had already adopted Zhou Feng as his adopted son, so he would definitely take care of the marriage, so she didn't have to worry too much.
At this time, Mrs. Wu came with little Mianmian in her arms.
"Bang Chun, Aunt Zhou, I don't know what's going on with this child. He's been crying all the time."
After Du Wanchun heard this, he quickly held the child in his hands. The little baby's eyes were watery, and he looked a little pitiful.
She held it in her hands and coaxed her for a long time, but she couldn't coax her well.
Seeing the crying baby, she realized something was wrong and asked Mrs. Wu, "Where is your Qing'er?"
Mrs. Wu quickly said: "My parents want a child, so I took him back today and said I would send him over later."
Coincidentally, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Mrs. Wu's parents actually sent the child over.
Du Wanchun quickly coaxed the child in his arms and said, "Be good, stop crying, brother is back."
As soon as she finished speaking, the child in her arms really stopped crying.
