"Glorifying the ancestors?"

My aunt didn't react for a moment. She said that it would be a month later for her niece to get the title. Only when her nephew showed a bad expression did she realize that he was bragging.

My aunt turned her eyes and said, "you, you, you, you've become an official, right?"

As soon as I opened my mouth, I knew it was old aunt Yin and Yang.

"I heard from my neighbors that only scholars can be in the temple. No matter how you are promoted, you are just a watchman. "

Although the aunt gradually untied her heart knot and didn't feel as bitter as before, she felt that she should stick to the principle on the topic of "who is more promising, nephew or son".

Unlike her husband, Xu Pingzhi, her son and nephew are all the offspring of the Xu family. They have been raised at home for 20 years, which is no different from her own son.

Aunt can't stand Xu Qi'an's swaggering posture. From time to time, she bangs in front of her and doesn't respect her at all.

Therefore, Erlang must be more promising than Dalao, so that his aunt can straighten up in front of his nephew.

"Don't you believe me?" Xu Qian's squint.

"I believe it. It's just a promotion." My aunt said with indifference.

A while ago, Xu Ershu was promoted from the outer city to the inner city, with a fixed patrol area. That area is full of rich families. For the sake of family peace, they will spend money to be responsible for the imperial sword guards around them and have a good relationship.

So the second uncle has a lot of private money recently. He has been collected 50 Liang silver. He still has money to play with.

Of course, Uncle Xu never took the initiative to go to the Department. After all, the girl of the Department is far away from her aunt. The reason why she spent the night in the Department is the entertainment between her colleagues.

On the contrary, when Xu Dalang and Xu Erlang reached the age of Shen Gongbao and never married, they would take the initiative to relieve the pressure of Jiaofang department.

"It's not promotion, it's nobility!" Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"Puchi..." my aunt was amused. She was charming and charming.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense." Second Uncle Xu waved his hand, but he didn't have a good way: "second uncle, I was trapped in Shanhaiguan to kill the enemy, from south to north, from north to south, and I was bleeding all over. That's it. It's still a little short of being a marquis."

from south to north, from north to south, make complaints about your arm.

Xu Xinnian shook his head. "It's very important to be knighted. The last time Dafeng was knighted was the Shanhaiguan battle 20 years ago. Now that the world is in peace, where can you get the title of nobility? "

"You don't have to be meritorious to be a baron." Xu Qian touched xiaodouding's brain: "right, ring tone."

Xiaodouding ignored him, his mouth was close to the edge of the bowl, and he was drinking porridge.

"Come on, come on, I don't know how many pounds you have." The aunt sneered: "if you don't stop bathing today, go to the Yamen as soon as possible. The time of Mao is almost over, and don't delay your second uncle to answer Mao.

"Don't worry, Dalao. After the Spring Festival this year, there will be a Jinshi in the Xu family. At that time, we will have a banquet at home and invite the people to come and have a meal. "

Spring Wei hasn't started yet. My aunt is already proud.

Ma De, this is the start I want. My second uncle is eccentric, my aunt is mean, and my cousin is a scholar, but he oppresses me everywhere. One sister looks down on me, and the other sister grabs my food..... Then, the God of war returns, makes a powerful title, and drives my uncle and aunt to live in a dog's den..... Xu Qi'an thinks about it, which is quite cool.

Xu Er Shu picked up his helmet again and nodded: "it's late. I have to go to Yingmao."

He automatically ignores the matter of being knighted as a joke for his nephew.

If the Xu family can produce a great honor, it's really the ancestral grave. Even if Erlang's gold title, Jinshi and five hundred taels of gold, thirty good fields... There's a golden light in my aunt's eyes.

"Dalao, is that true? How does Auntie feel living in a dream My aunt grabbed Xu Qi'an's hand.

Xu Qi'an shakes off, light way: "this madam, don't want to make up with, call me Viscount adult."

Xu Lingyue looks at big brother with adoration on her face.

After she was angry with her aunt, Xu Qi'an reached into her arms, took out the land contract, patted it on the table, and said, "I've put away the gold myself. As for the 30 good fields, aunt, I'm tired before I get married..... Lingyue helps my elder brother manage them."

Her aunt's hand, which was half stretched out, froze. She had no way to take Xu Qi'an, and stamped her foot and said, "Xu Pingzhi..."

she had no way to take her nephew, so she had to punch her husband hard.

Xu Er Shu "ha" a, "rather feast and you laugh, Ling month and don't understand these."

Xu Lingyue whispered, "Dad, I've been studying for several years and I know arithmetic."

Moreover, the management of the land is usually to let the trusted servants run errands outside, and the owner only needs to manage the accounts.

My aunt suddenly had a sense of crisis.

Her former imaginary enemy was the daughter-in-law of Dalao and Erlang. Now she finds out that Xu Lingyue, a dead girl, has turned against her and wants to fight for power with her mother."Mother, why are you looking at me like this?" Xu Lingyue felt her mother's eyes burning.

"I'm not looking at you. I'm looking at the white eyed wolf."

“……” Xu Lingyue.

…………

Speaking of this building, people from all over the capital and even Dafeng have no more than two words: high!

In the eyes of the people in the Jianghu, in addition to soaring into the sky, the star watching tower is also a taboo place for Dafeng, because there are the only strong people of the dynasty living here.

Few people will think about the underground of the star watching building.

Zazazazaza...

the iron gate rises slowly under the dark ground, and a winding stone step extends to the ground. There is an oil lamp on the wall of every ten steps, emitting dim light.

Daddada... In the silent air, came the clear sound of footsteps.

The sound of footsteps became clear, and a dark shadow came up the steps from the bottom of the ground.

The dark shadow spread her hair, covered her cheek, wore a simple linen robe, barefoot, and walked with her chest occasionally full, which made people realize that she was a woman.

And a woman with a ravine in her chest.

"I'm still a little short of the fourth grade array master. How did the teacher wake me up..." murmured black shadow.

She looked up. At the end of the steps, countless lights poured down from the door. It was the sunshine that had not been seen for a long time.

Stepping out of the iron gate, the shadow stood in the silent hall, closed his eyes, opened his arms and embraced the sunshine.

She has not been born for five years, and has been suppressed by the supervisor at the bottom of the star watching building.

Through the corridor on the first floor, the hairless woman steps up to the second floor, and the sound of footsteps comes from the top of her head. A white magician with a tray and bottles in it comes down.

They met face to face.

The magician in white froze, and his face turned pale, as if he had seen something terrible.

About three or four seconds later, the white warlock turned and ran away in a panic.

Out of goodwill, the disheveled woman quickly reminded: "younger martial brother, slow down and slide carefully."

As the voice fell, the white warlock's sole suddenly slipped and rolled down. By the way, he knocked down the woman and they rolled down the stairs together.

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.

"Help, help..." the white warlock's face turned black and blue. He pinched his neck and said difficultly:

"this is the poison refined by elder martial brother Songqing..."

the woman covered her neck and said difficultly: "elder martial sister didn't bring the antidote."

"The antidote is in it..." the white warlock seemed unable to move. His eyes were fixed on a broken porcelain vase and the powder on the ground.

With the help of a woman, the white warlock took the antidote and went downstairs to the lobby on the first floor, shouting to the white warlocks who were cooking and refining medicine:

"elder martial sister Zhong is out of the pass!"

Bang dang... The porcelain bottles, spoons and other utensils in the hands of the white warlocks fell to the ground.

They wriggled their necks stiffly and looked over with dull faces.

The disheveled woman continued to climb the stairs, passing the seventh floor. The alchemy room on the seventh floor exploded, shaking the floor and walls, rustling ashes.

"How did it explode? How did it explode? " Song Qing's roar came.

Women ignore, continue to climb, and finally came to the top of the observation tower, gossip platform.

Bai Yi and Bai Hu, the immortal supervisor, after sitting on the table, knead the wine cup and looked at the distance.

"Teacher."

The woman called respectfully, and her eyes fell on the wine and food on the table.

"Zhong Li, it's time for you to be promoted to the fourth grade." I'm in charge of youyou road.

The woman's body trembled and slightly raised her head, revealing her snow-white sharp jaw.

There are five kinds of heterosexual titles in Dafeng: Gong, Hou, Bo, Zi and Nan. Each rank is divided into five grades.

The full name of Xu Qi'an's title is "third class Changle County".

This is a title that is less than the top and more than the bottom. It has no real power, but a monthly salary.

However, the significance of the title is not in power, but in the glory and social status it symbolizes.

Is it a noble to be listed in a temple? No, this kind of power is only for a while. It is a symbol of being a member of the aristocratic class and a hereditary title.

Of course, the title of Xu Qi'an could not be inherited, but at least for one day, the Xu family was a noble, not a civilian.

Later, if Changle County son married a civilian woman, he would be impeached. Man Dynasty Civil and military Association said: is the princess not fragrant, or is the princess not beautiful?He married a common woman.

In a word, for the first time in hundreds of years, the Xu family became a viscount and became an aristocrat.

For Xu Pingzhi, the head of the family, it's probably the highlight of his life. On the same day, he took Xu Qi'an to the ancestral grave to offer incense.

After coming back, I plan to send out invitation cards, hold banquets and invite relatives and friends to drink and celebrate.

But the aunt felt that it was not right, and said: "the day after tomorrow will be Chunwei, which will affect Erlang's study."

Yes, the day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival. It's a top priority for yuyuelongmen. A big banquet at home will definitely affect Erlang's study. Xu Pingzhi felt that his wife's words were reasonable, so he asked Xu Erlang to move to the old house in the outer city to study hard, and the banquet remained unchanged.

I think the sound of the bell is very good.

Xu Erlang quit the studio and went back to his old house with a servant and a maid.

When Shangxiang came back, Xu Qian generously appropriated seventy-two taels of silver for tomorrow's banquet.

Seventy two is a lot of money. It's the savings of ordinary rich people who don't eat or drink for three years. It's the money for whoring for two years. It's Xu Qi'an's salary for one year now.

"I haven't been to master Hengyuan's Yangshengtang since I came back, so I have to send some money to help the widows and widows..."

Xu Qi'an took five coins out of the cupboard and planned to go to Hengyuan's training method at a low price.

Suddenly, sitting beside the bed, monk Shenshu sounded in his mind, with a low and ethereal voice: "leave the capital."

Leave the capital?!

What do you mean... Xu Qi'an looks serious. Monk Shenshu never takes the initiative to communicate with him and sleeps in silence.

Now let him leave the capital.

Is there going to be an accident in the capital, or am I going to have an accident?

In the twinkling of his thoughts, he saw the gray world in front of him. The gray haze spread, and a dilapidated temple appeared. At the gate of the temple sat master Shenshu with beautiful eyes.

The mysterious monk meditated with his hands together. His brown eyes looked at him gently, and his voice was misty: "leave the capital."

PS: Thank you for the reward of "mady", the leader of the alliance. Today, I still offer you ten thousand words. Well, I think I can write a little more on the basis of ten thousand words, one or two thousand words more. If it doesn't work.

Change after change.
