Chapter 623: Reward of Emperor Wen De (three shifts)

In Xingqing Palace, Emperor Wen De was worried.
What kind of rewards should be given to Gu Jiu? It appears that he is generous, worthy of Gu Jiu's credit, and does not cost money.
According to the past practice, the reward for the female spouse is to directly reward some imperial gold and jade jewelry, which is very decent.
However, this is not worthy of Gu Jiu's credit.
Not to mention the mining license, just to talk about the sweet potato seeds, you have to be rewarded heavily.
With such a big credit, changing to a man has long been promoted and made a fortune.
Chang En knows the interest, and advises Emperor Wende, "Your Majesty might as well imitate the first emperor and give Madam Zhao's second son a noble."
When Emperor Wen De heard it, his eyes lit up.
Granting a title is one way.
"I remember that the eldest wife has a brother who is a compatriot. What are you doing now?"
"Return to your Majesty, Madam Zhao's brother is named Gu Wei and he is currently in the Sirius Army."
"It's actually in the Sirius Army! It's really a pillar of the country."
Emperor Wen De thought for a while, and got an idea in his mind.
Two days later, the palace made an order.
Liu Yu, Gu Jiu's eldest son, was promoted from General Fengguo to General Suguo.
Gu Jiu's second son Liu Heng bestowed the title of General Fengguo.
Gu Jiu's elder brother Gu Yu, loyal to the monarchy, was promoted from a guerrilla general to a general Xuanwei, directly from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, and was promoted to two ranks.
In addition, Emperor Wen De also sent someone to reward Master Gu.
The court deserves a reward for raising a good girl.
Although he hadn't been promoted and had no knighthood, the reward of his majesty was enough to make Master Gu excited for a long time.
When I was rewarded, my whole body was shaking,
So excited! So excited!
This is the first time that he has been rewarded by the emperor for so many years.
This is a decent family!
"Quickly, give up the items from the godsend."
Master Gu directed his servants to work.
Some people murmured secretly, "Master is from the fourth grade, and the young master is also from the fourth grade. The father and son are of the same rank, will the master feel ashamed?"
After dividing the family, the masters of the Fuzhong no longer discuss the size according to the order of the family, but have different opinions.
As a result, Gu Ling went from the third young master in the clan to the eldest young master in the Gu mansion. Gu Teng also changed from Sixth Young Master to Third Young Master.
"Don't talk nonsense, work quickly."
Butler Gu Quan scolded his servants, and dared to say such things. Are you really afraid of your master getting angry?
However, it is estimated that the master has not thought of this.
Even if you think about it, you can persuade the master to want to open more with civil and military differences.
The martial arts master is the fourth rank, which is more noble than the senior officials.
This way of persuading, the master should be able to think about it.
After the excitement gradually calmed down, Master Gu finally remembered that his son Gu Ling was of the same rank as him, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
His expression kept changing, but he wanted to get angry but couldn't make it.
If the son is promoted, even if he is unhappy, he will be angry, and be careful of being scolded by someone pointing at the backbone.
Master Gu wanted a face, and didn't have the courage to be scolded by someone pointing at his spine. He could only hold back and feel uncomfortable.
Gu Quan, the steward, really used the distinction between civil and martial arts he thought of early to persuade him.
"Master first take a sip of tea. I heard that General Xuanwei in the barracks has no one thousand but five hundred, which is nothing. Nothing can compare to the master, the dignified Taichang Temple Shaoqing, noble and decent."
Master Gu picked up the teacup and put it down again, "Huh! The officer is happy for the boss. After a few years away from home, he finally has something to do. Has the boss's letter arrived?"
Gu Quan said cautiously: "This year's Anxin hasn't arrived yet. It's probably because of a delay on the road."
Master Gu was obviously upset, and Yin and Yang said weirdly: "I'm afraid the brat has forgotten to write to the family at all, thinking of Madam Zhao."
The steward Gu Quan was anxious and said hurriedly: "The eldest master and Madam Zhao are brothers and sisters. He is thinking of Madam Zhao, so he should. This time I heard that it was because Madam Zhao offered sweet potato seeds, and his Majesty would give a reward. "
Not to mention sweet potato seeds.
When it comes to sweet potato seeds, Master Gu is full of complaints.
"Sweet potato seeds, such an important matter, she didn't expect to disclose it to the official in advance. God's food seeds, I heard that the production capacity per mu has reached a thousand catties, but whenever she is thinking about this family and my father, she should take care of it. The seed is handed over to the official, and the official will offer the seed. If the official offered the seed of the gods, why would the official nest in Taichang Temple and do nothing."
"After all, she doesn't remember her family, she doesn't even remember that the official is her father. There are good errands, and she would rather give it to the Hou Mansion than her biological father. Sweet potato seeds, how much credit is for her own. He wouldn't give it to the official."
"Her two children, one is three or four years old, and the other is only a few months old, they already have the title. But the official has worked so hard for a lifetime, and he can't even touch the side of the title. The official does not ask for the title, but can be promoted. Just leave Taichang Temple. She refused to agree to this request. What's the point of the official raising her."
Master Gu was full of complaints and vented all his brains.
"The official is really blind. At the beginning, he expected her to marry into the royal family and be able to pull her natal family. After so many years, she did not see her pull, and her style became more and more. Before the holidays, she refused to come back. Come on. Is she so disgusted with this home?"
In the winter, Gu Quan broke out in a cold sweat, "Master, calm down! I heard that the offering of sweet potato seeds was purely an accident, not that Madam Zhao deliberately ignored the adults. And this time, His Majesty also gave the adults a reward, maybe waiting for the new year. , Adults can get one liter."
Master Gu hehe twice, waved her hand, and said sharply: "Xio wants to say these nice words to comfort the officer. The officer has eaten enough lessons and will not believe a word anymore. She just dislikes this family and dislikes the official.
Just talk about this reward, why can the boss Gu Ling be promoted, but the official has nothing to do? It was obviously the official position she went to your Majesty to ask for for Gu Ling. She was willing to ask for an official for Gu Ling, why would she not ask for an official for her? Does she really want to see my father so much? Where did the officer do a bad job that made her dislike it? It's so angry! "
Master Gu was very annoyed, with his hands behind his back, walking around in the study, frowning and looking solemn.
He was angry and annoyed, holding a anger in his heart, but couldn't find an outlet to vent.
Gu Quan repeatedly persuaded him, "Master, don't have a relationship with Madam Zhao. The aunts at home today are the most respectable Madam Zhao. The young masters will also count on Madam Zhao when they are officials in the future. The master should think about his children and grandchildren. Madam Chongzhao was angry."
Master Gu sternly said, "How can the officer dare to get angry at her, the officer is angry at himself. Is it possible that the officer can't make a few complaints? It's really unreasonable."
Gu Quan was anxious and sweating profusely, "On the second day of the first lunar month, Mrs. Zhao went back to the house for a banquet. Master must be gentle, don't let people see what they are doing."
Master Gu was very dissatisfied, "It's ridiculous! This world is terrible. Children who don't know how to honor their parents, but fathers want to please their children. What is the truth? Tell me, what is the truth?"
Gu Quan sighed, "After Madam Zhao comes back, if the master continues to show his face, His Royal Highness may be very upset. What if His Royal Highness refuses to come back in the future?
In any case, Mrs. Zhao always won a reward from your majesty for the master, and now no one outside envy the master for giving birth to a good girl. Changing to the Hou Mansion, I am afraid that Madam Zhao will be confessed. "
Master Gu was furious, "Quit to mention the Hou Mansion with the official. What the Hou Mansion has done in recent years is not just a few words of concern and a few words of greeting, and then he won the important position of Shaofu Tongcheng.
The officer worried about her, and deliberately took out a private house to buy her dowry. In the end, how did she give back to her officer? She has no conscience at all in ignoring the official. "
Gu Quan sighed, nothing more. The master is angry now, let him vent.
...
The other side of Gu's house.
Hu was sitting under the lamp and was doing needlework for the child.
When Gu Yan entered the door, she was numb, and the maids consciously retreated.
She put aside her needlework, and said to Gu Teng, "The master is noisy again. I asked someone to close the courtyard door, and all the servants sent it out to ensure that the grievances the master said would not be spread."
After a pause, she said again: "Last time I complained that my second aunt and grandma didn't plan for him, this time even his majesty was complaining. It seems that he disliked his majesty and only rewarded him with things and didn't promote him. I think he was dissatisfied with the promotion of his elder brother. He didn't move."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yu frowned.
"Master is confused! You did the right thing. You should send all the people away. Those complaints must not be heard."
Hu took off his chilly robe for Gu Teng, "I went to see my father today, what did my father say?"
In the autumn township examination, Gu Teng finally passed Juren, but his ranking was not very good.
Today, he went to his father-in-law's house, and asked his father-in-law for advice on the article.
Gu Tung’s father-in-law, served as the assistant of the Ministry of Etiquette, originally hoped to be promoted to the Minister of Etiquette.
As a result, the Zhao Palace changed, Shen Chang died, and Emperor Wende became the emperor.
In an instant, everything changed.
His father-in-law Hu, passed by with the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and regretted losing. Can only continue to stay in the position of the minister of ceremony.
Fortunately, Emperor Wen De was enthroned, and the Hu adults' family was saved, and they were not implicated in the case of King Zhao's rebellion.
Gu Teng said: "I will show my father-in-law my recent article, and my father-in-law said that I have made a lot of progress. I will have a test next year, and I hope to get a Jinshi."
When Hu heard it, he was overjoyed, "It's great! I'll order two more dishes in the kitchen and have a good drink in the evening."
"No!" Gu Teng shook his head and refused, "Before the meeting, the diet is mainly light and alcohol is absent. I will still sleep in the study tonight, and the two children will be tired of you to look after."
Hu smiled sweetly, "My husband just studies hard, I will take care of everything in the house."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
