Cheng Feng said: "This tiger skin should have been sent to the emperor's heart by my uncle, making the emperor happy."

Shang Xi said: "This brother-in-law has almost become a roundworm in the emperor's heart. He knows everything the emperor likes."

Wan Lianxing accepted the imperial edict and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li, come in and have a cup of tea."

"No, I have to go back and resume my life with the Holy Father."

Wan Lianxing gave the old housekeeper a look, and the old housekeeper immediately took out the benefits from his body and gave them to Eunuch Li.

Wan Lianxing was generous and never missed the money of the people who brought him good news. Eunuch Li, who had benefited from the good news, bid farewell to Wan Lianxing happily.

As soon as Eunuch Li left, Wan Liexing handed the imperial edict to the old housekeeper without even looking at it.

Shang Xi is the person who can see the height of eyebrows best. She observed Wan Lianxing's every move and said, "After getting so many benefits, why doesn't your uncle look so happy? Isn't this reward already a lot?"

Cheng Feng shook his head. He also saw that his brother-in-law was not as happy as he should have been when he received the reward. Wan Liexing's face now was not as lively as when he was fighting a tiger. He didn't know what his brother-in-law wanted, and he didn't know what he wanted. Knowing whether these rewards were too much or too little for a man who dedicated a tiger to the emperor, Cheng Feng couldn't understand Wan Lianxing's expression.

At this time, boss Qian, who was wily and scheming, spoke up: "This reward is definitely not low. A tiger can reward so many things. The emperor has already treated our marquis as a kind of partiality. Without this reward, the marquis would not be able to choose." What's going on? Tigers can hurt the people. Tiger hunting is to eliminate harm for the people. Not many people can kill a tiger. With just one tiger, you can get a reward of more than a hundred taels from the government. And the government doesn't want this good tiger. , Whoever kills the tiger will get it, but he is the only one who has the reputation of hunting tigers and has been rewarded by the emperor."

Shang Xi said: "You are so partial to me, why does my uncle still have a sullen face?"

Boss Qian said: "It is indeed a great joy to receive a reward. In every minute, the streets and alleys of Bianjing will know the good news that the Marquis has been awarded the reward. At this time, some people will be happy for the Marquis, and some will be jealous of the Marquis. These Hous I won’t even take it lightly, the only thing that makes the Marquis so unhappy is this reward from the emperor.”

"Why? Is there anything wrong with this reward?"

Boss Qian said: "You are too young and don't know much about these things in the official career. You will know bit by bit in the future."

Shang Xi said: "Brother-in-law, don't wait until later. Talk to me and Cheng Feng now so that we can become enlightened."

Boss Qian said: "The salary of three thousand dan is not something that ordinary marquises should enjoy. It is the treatment that only dukes have."

Shang Xi said: "Isn't that good? Isn't it a good thing that a duke has a higher official position than a marquis? He, a marquis, enjoys the treatment of a duke?"

Boss Qian said: "You are right, but with such treatment but no such title, the Marquis must feel uncomfortable. This reward would be worse than no reward at all."

Shang Xi said: "How could this happen?"

Boss Qian said: "It's a carrot and a pit. There is always someone in the position of Duke. It is more difficult for our Marquis to take this step up than to reach the sky. The emperor's reward beyond his position also shows that our Marquis' career achievements are so high." , can’t get in.”

Shang Xi said: "So that's it. I feel sad for my uncle."

Boss Qian said: "So being an official is not that easy. Our Marquis has already achieved very high achievements. It is not easy to stabilize his position and sit firmly in this chair. If it had been anyone else, no one would have had our Marquis." I feel like a fish in water."

Shang Xi said: "Is this still called being like a fish in the water? How can uncle be so sullen as he is like a fish in the water? I am an uncle and I won't be busy surrounding the emperor like this."

Boss Qian was amused by Shang Xi and laughed: "Don't talk about dreams at a young age. Being able to say a word beside the emperor is as difficult as reaching heaven. No one can ask for such an opportunity for me. This is Nice job."

Shang Xi said: "That's what happened, but I don't think it's important for my uncle to run into the palace every day. Is this the reason why I didn't give him a title?"

Boss Qian said with a smile: "You have to know that our Marquis has no real power. Without a place for him to show his strength, naturally this person will not achieve great results. He really wants to do something serious, so you have to give him a chance."

Shang Xi said: "I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to be an official in the imperial court."

Boss Qian said: "Of course, being an official is not easy. When one person becomes an official, the whole family will ascend to heaven. We all benefit from the honor of Lord Marquis."

Shang Xi said: "That's true, but why doesn't the emperor give him real power? I think my uncle is quite capable. He has many strange tricks."

Boss Qian laughed heartily, "In times of peace, there is no need for great talents and wizards like your brother-in-law."

After listening to Boss Qian's words, Shang Xi felt that it was really baffling. If she was not reused, she would definitely take off her armor and return to work. She would be a torment for everyone all day long.

At this time Wan Lian walked over and asked, "What are you doing sneakily here?"

"Congratulations, uncle."

"Uncle Congratulations."

Wan Lianxing put a smile on his face again: "Why are you all hiding here?"

Shang Xi said: "I have never seen such a scene, so I couldn't help but want to take a peek."

Wan Liexing still said calmly: "Whatever this is, it's just a small scene, let's get over it."

"Uncle, are you going out?"

Wan Lianxing said: "Enter the palace to thank me."

Wan Lengxing's body that had just turned away suddenly turned back, "I won't go out with the front foot, you two can go out with the back foot."

Shang Xi said: "Yes, we are going to Mo's house to see Gu Yu. I heard that this person is awake."

Wan Lianxing smiled and turned around to leave. Shang Xi looked at Cheng Feng and said, "Did I say something wrong?"

Cheng Feng said to Wan Lianxing's back: "We can't leave Bianjing secretly. Shang Xi still has many things to explain to Chen Qingliao."

Wan Lengxing didn't respond or look back, and took long strides in the direction he wanted to go.

Shang Xi patted his head and said, "Is my brain not in good shape recently? Why can't I understand the profound meaning of my uncle's words?"

Boss Qian said with a smile: "Your brother-in-law is reluctant to let you go. He lives alone in such a big Hou Mansion. It is indeed a bit lonely."

Shang Xi said: "No, brother-in-law, you just got married, and you were alone in the past. I think you live better than anyone else."

Boss Qian said: "At that time, I had a goal in my heart. Your sister Baiqian was my goal. As long as she is good to me, I will be good to you. Your brother-in-law is different from me. He has nothing but this glory." "
