Chapter 658 Imperial Edict
After Xiaoman went in with the servants, Wanxi came over to greet him soon: "Hey, Xiaoman, why do you have time to come here?"
Seeing Wan Xi with a red face, Xiaoman smiled and said, "Isn't this here to give you good news! My godfather and mother will come back to attend your big wedding! They found Beibei in Fenghai City, Beibei They have something to do in Fenghai City, and godfather and mother will come back when they have time."
Wanxi really didn't expect that after her elder sister left, she would come back. On the contrary, Lord Wan was very happy when he heard the news. His younger sister got married, and his eldest sister would also come back. Speaking of it, she really hasn't seen her eldest sister for many years, and now she can finally see her.
Xiaoman looked at City Lord Wan, this is the eldest brother of the godmother, what should it be called? The little aunt Wanxi should actually be called auntie, but Wanxi is more casual and thinks auntie sounds better than auntie, so she forced them to call her auntie, and she got used to it.
Wouldn't the Lord Wan want to yell here too? Coughing and coughing, when Xiaoman was struggling, Wanxi had already said, "Brother, this is Xiaoman, the famous Demon General, and also the adopted daughter of the elder sister, your niece, Xiaoman, come on, call me uncle."
Very good, don't worry, the little aunt has already agreed on the address, Xiaoman can only say kindly: "I met uncle."
City Lord Wan felt like waving his hand: "The County Lord is too polite. I really didn't expect it, so we still have this kind of relationship."
Xiao Man was smiling, and listening to the words of City Lord Wan, he seemed to get along well. City Lord Wan looked at Xiaoman, and couldn't help thinking that those three in his family were worthless, compared to Xiaoman, they were nothing but rubbish.
Mrs. Wan also heard the news of Xiaoman's arrival. This Mrs. Gu is said to be the favorite of Xiang Gu and the emperor, and no one can offend her. Since she came, she wanted to meet her. When she came out, she brought her four children with her.
"Meet the county magistrate."
Although she is the wife of the city lord, she is absolutely incomparable with Xiao Man in this place of Kyoto. Xiao Man smiled and looked at Mrs. Wan in front of her: "Auntie, we are all on our own, so you don't need to be so polite."
This auntie can be said to show that Mrs. Wan's heart is transparent. In fact, due to the intervention of the magistrate in Wancheng in recent years, although the city lord's mansion is still powerful and powerful, Mrs. Wan still feels that it is different from before and wants to come to the capital.
Isn't this just a chance to find it! After all, after the unification of the world, the several city lords who surrendered were conferred nominal titles, and the city lord Wan has not officially accepted it. Taking advantage of Wanxi's big wedding this time, it is not an opportunity.
This person is Qian Jiujiu's uncle, from Mingyue Island, needless to say, the emperor will use him again, and at this time the emperor is talking to Gu Xiangning about how to arrange for Wancheng Lord.
The emperor looked at Gu Xiangning. In fact, after the Lord Wan came to Beijing, the Hou Mansion was already under construction, so he temporarily let him live in another courtyard, but the emperor hadn't thought about it yet: "Say, give your uncle one What title is good?"
Gu Xiangning thought for a while before opening his mouth: "I want to build the Wan family into an aristocratic family. If it's a title, just give it a whirl."
When the emperor heard this, he was a little dazed: "Aristocratic family?"
Now the court is saying that it wants to suppress the family, at least the emperor meant it. Seeing the emperor puzzled, Gu Xiangning couldn't help but raise his lips: "Your majesty, suppressing the family is only the next book. And if you suppress the family, the time is too short to complete it." Yes, and we don't have that much time."
When he was 40 years old, he was about to return to Mingyue Island. There was only ten years left, but he didn't have time to support him slowly. Instead of suppressing it, it would be better to let these families expand. Most importantly, it would be good to have other families join in. .
What's more, how many of these secular families belong to Mingyue Island, but some people here may have been in the position for too long and completely forgot their original intentions. Thinking of this, Gu Xiangning's expression became silent.
The emperor is also very smart, with Gu Xiangning's reminder, he instantly understood what Gu Xiangning meant, and looked at Gu Xiangning with a smile: "Then how do you plan to create momentum for the Wan family?"
Gu Xiangning smiled and said: "Actually, the secret has already started here, and we have already prepared for it. This time, the title only needs to be given a name, and it should be called Marquis of Ping An. It is best that the imperial decree be issued now, so that Wan Wan When Aunt Xi gets married, let's have fun."
The emperor had no objection to this, and quickly issued an imperial decree to send people to Chaomu Bieyuan.
In Chaomu Bieyuan, Mrs. Wan was about to ask Xiaoman what Wancheng should do to gain a foothold in the capital. Before she had time to ask, she heard that there was an imperial decree coming.
City Lord Wan looked at Xiaoman curiously: "County Lord, is this imperial decree?"
Xiao Man shook his head with a smile: "I don't know either, just going to receive the order, it shouldn't be a bad thing."
In fact, Xiaoman just thought about it, and he knew what was going on here. After all, Xiaoman knew very well that the Wan family had been promoted as another family.
Looking at Xiaoman's appearance, Wancheng Lord suddenly became confident, and then went out to receive the order: "Follow the heavens... Wanchengzhu has made great contributions to the country and society, and he can be granted the title of Peaceful Marquis, hereby..."
After reading a series of imperial edicts, the eunuch noticed Xiao Man who came out, and shivered instantly, delivered the imperial edict to Lord Wanhou, and trotted in front of Xiao Man: "I have seen the county magistrate, is the magistrate also there? "
Xiao Man nodded with a smile: "Come and see my uncle, if you're okay, go back, today's errands were done well."
This sentence can be called a reward, it is better than money or anything else, the eunuch was praised and left happily.
Lord Wan Hou looked at Xiao Man in surprise: "Isn't there a reward for this?"
Wanxi laughed at the side: "Brother, you haven't seen clearly, Xiaoman's status here, in a word, it is more than any reward. Don't worry, but brother, you are just a noble title, you have no real power. "
Marquis Wan smiled indifferently: "What does that matter? With this title, I can stay in the capital, and we, brother and sister, will have someone to take care of us in the future."
Looking at Lord Wanhou's appearance, Xiaoman couldn't help raising his eyebrows, can this person really be a great leader? But it was only for a second, and she stopped doubting, after all, this is the candidate chosen by Gu Xiangning, so she can't be wrong.
"Uncle, what do you think of the family?"
Master Wanhou never expected that Xiaoman would say such a thing, and rubbed his head: "The family is very good, but no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
Xiaoman smiled on his lips, he was really smart, and looked at Lord Wanhou: "Uncle is interested in building a family."
The aristocratic family is different from officials. They don't have as many things as officials, but they have a lot of power. Moreover, the emperor admitted that maybe the five surnames and seven families will be rearranged by then, and the Wan family may also be able to go up. When I think of this, my heart can't help but thump.
Looking at Xiaoman, Xiaoman smiled at Master Wan: "Uncle, I think we hit it off quite well, so I'll stay at your house for lunch today."
Marquis Wan naturally wished for it. When Mrs. Wan went to make lunch, it was soon noon, and Gu Xiangning also came from the palace to eat with Xiao Man.
During the period, I also saw Master Wan, looking at Master Wan: "Uncle, when you are a knight, don't take it to heart, do what you have to do, and say that your two sons are also the pillars of the country. "
This is short of saying clearly that Lord Wanhou will stop at the title of title in his life, but the two sons may not be sure, they will definitely be able to climb up, they just need the cooperation of Lord Wanhou.
There are also many people in the aristocratic family, who have a false reputation in the court, and the Wan family also has them now, and the next step is to show the strength of the Wan family. And Wanxi's big wedding this time is completely a good opportunity.
In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of Wan Xi's big wedding, and Wan Yin came out of Fenghai City with several carts of things, all of which were dowry for Wan Xi.
After returning, Wan Xi and Gu Xiong did not go to live in the palace, but directly went to Chaomu Bieyuan. Wan Yin and Wan Houye had met each other when they were young, but in the following years, they only kept communicating and never met.
Even when he was living abroad, the information with Lord Wan was cut off, and he only started to contact him after returning to Mingyue Island. Now that he finally met, Wan Yin couldn't help but burst into tears.
Master Wanhou felt distressed when he saw that his eldest sister was crying: "Okay, Xiao Yin, you are still crying even if you are a grandmother!"
Gu Xiong cast a glance at Lord Wanhou: "It's not you who made him cry."
The two of them grew up together, and when they met, they almost got into a fight. Fortunately, Wan Yin and tomorrow's wedding should not be injured, so the two of them restrained themselves.
It was not early, although Wan Yin was excited, she was still a little tired after rushing back all the time, so she went to rest. The next day was Wan Yin's wedding.
He had been thinking about letting Lin Zezhi wear the wedding dress when he got married, but because of the suppression of his eldest brother, this matter had to be carried out. Now he is the only one who wears the cumbersome wedding dress. Fortunately, there is a maid to help.
After a series of procedures, when Xiaoman came to accompany Wanxi, she heard Wanxi say that she would not marry, which frightened Xiaoman a lot.
Xiao Man stared at Wan Xi dumbfounded, and before she had time to react, she heard Wan Yin's words: "It's a great day, what nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up, dress up, and wait for Ze Zhi to come to pick up the bride."
"Godmother."
Wan Yin looked at Xiaoman: "Xiaoman is here, just in time, your little aunt's mouth, look after her, she can finally get married, don't talk nonsense."
The corner of Xiaoman's mouth twitched, why did she feel that what the godmother said made her feel like she was finally able to marry her own girl?
Wan Xi also looked at Wan Yin with dissatisfaction: "Sister, you are bullying me."
Wan Yin cast a glance at Wan Xi: "Shut up, put on your makeup, why hasn't Lin Zezhi come over there yet? Who dares to stop the groom?"
