Chapter 27: Prosperity and Prosperity

"The imperial edict says: Now the imperial court has quelled the rebellion of Liang Shidu, Chen Zhengtai, the chief grandson of the Chen family of Mengjin, has made contributions to military affairs... I only govern the world with literature and suppress the rebellion with military force, and suppress the rebellion with the rebellion is the pillar of the country. How can I not be rewarded if I have made merits? I am here to be the county man, and I am granted the title of Erpigou Township, with 500 households and 500 permanent land for Erpigou. What a royal!"

Although Chen Zhengtai had known that he would give the county man a gift, now that the real order was called, he felt dizzy.

It is said that if you manage your family and govern the country and pacify the world, what is a family? In this era, this is a family...

The so-called granting of five hundred permanent land is not just five hundred acres, because in addition to five hundred acres, there are also other ditches and mountains. Now... this has become the foundation of the Chen family's career.

Behind him... the third uncle and Chen Jiye were shocked.

Zhengtai... has become a county man...

The Chen family used to be a family of clans and belonged to the aristocratic clan, but not many people had military merits. They claimed that they had passed down their poetry and books. Although there were people who had served as officials in all dynasties, none of them had made military merits and were awarded titles.

And all this started with Chen Zhengtai.

The most important thing is that anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Zhengtai people were in Chang'an and did not have a Western Expedition, but now His Majesty the Emperor has given him a title in the name of military affairs. This is clearly favored. It seems that... the name of teachers and students is confirmed.

Haha... The disciple of the emperor!

Suddenly, Chen Jiye felt that his back was straight. The Chen family had offended Li Erlang's family crisis, which I think had been resolved.

It's really not easy...

However... Chen Jiye felt a little worried. According to the various precedents of his ancestors supporting whoever was finished, the emperor today would not...

Is the Tang Dynasty going to be exhausted?

Chen Zhengtai was not as deep as his father and third uncle thought. He took the order and felt a lot of emotion.

The eunuch looked at Chen Zhengtai with a smile: "Congratulations to the men in Erpi County, I am polite."

After hearing this, Chen Zhengtai pulled his face down and corrected: "It's not Erpi, it's Erpigou. The difference between one word is a thousand miles away."

The eunuch smiled awkwardly. This little thing is quite serious.

There are so many county men in the world, of course we need to distinguish them. We cannot call everyone a county man. Therefore, we often have prefixes to the title, and the fiefdom name given by the title will be added.

The township that Chen Zhengtai named is Erpigou, which is naturally the man in Erpigou County. However, this name is very difficult to pronounce, so it is better to call Erpi.

The third uncle was overjoyed and said happily: "Yes, yes, Zhengtai, this is almost the same. What are you concerned about with this Lishi who came from the palace? Come, come, come, come, dare to ask for the Lishi's surname Gao's name, why don't we go inside and have a good talk."

Seeing that the third uncle was extremely attentive, the eunuch was so determined that he wanted to pull him into the house to have tea. So he sat down for a while and heard that the third uncle praised him for his talent. He was reluctant to leave the Chen family until noon.

The eunuch was dizzy and heard a lot of 'beautiful words'. When he came out of the Chen family and turned around a neighbor, he realized something: "Ah, it's true that he had said so many good things, pouring tea and handing water. Not to mention a copper coin, he didn't even get a meal."

…………

The Chen family was already filled with a joyful atmosphere. After receiving the imperial edict, they had to wait for the Ministry of Rites to measure the land of Yongyetian. As for the households, it was more symbolic.

However... in Erpigou Township, because there were no other nobles, Chen Zhengtai, the man in Erpigou County, was basically equivalent to the local emperor there.

But then again, because there are all saline-alkali land there, there are actually not many families.

Naturally... this incident has a huge impact on many people in Chang'an City.

The Chen family is in Chang'an, and they are disliked by gods and evil spirits. Except for a few old people from the East Palace, such as Wei Zheng, almost everyone stayed away from him.

But this sudden appearance of the county man seems to see a certain direction.

What's wrong with the Chen family?

What is the profound meaning of Your Majesty’s move?

Chen Zhengtai ignored the gossip outside. In addition to caring about Xiaozhu and the Chen family's Baiyan business, he was not proud and complacent. Apart from studying books every now and then, he calmed down and read the books carefully to improve his self-cultivation.

My buddy is now a person with status. He is a man from Erpigou County and a disciple of the emperor. Of course, he should pay attention to the influence.

But... I hid in the study every day, and somehow I couldn't help but feel sleepy. This made Chen Zhengtai very surprised. Finally, I couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, books in any era have a hypnotic effect.

Chen Jiye still went to the Salt and Iron Envoy Office every day to serve. There were more than 70 officials from the Chang'an Salt and Iron Envoy Office, most of whom were idle. After all, the salt wells directly under the jurisdiction were in trouble, and the salt quality they took was poor and could not compete with the salt on the market. They could only supply some of the needs of the army. But who would dare to collect taxes on the salt occupied by those aristocratic families?

Chen Jiye scolded Li Erdi every day.

Early this morning, someone came, first a eunuch strongman, and then helped a little girl down.

The little girl is not dressed in luxurious clothes and is as thin as a hair... This is somewhat different from the Tang Dynasty's style of plumpness as beauty.

She looks about eleven or twelve years old, with fair skin. Although she is pretty and cute, she has a bit of sadness between her eyebrows.

Chen Zhengtai knew that the Tang Dynasty was open and it was common for women to leave home, but he didn't expect that a little girl would come to visit her.

I thought... I only had the charm to attract men.

Chen Zhengtai was ready to urge the woman to the central hall.

The woman hunched down and sat down without saying a word, but just glanced at him quietly.

Chen Zhengtai naturally noticed the other party's expression and was about to look up and responded to the other party with a smile.

But the eunuch Lishi, who was standing beside her, said with a loud voice: "Erpi County man, this is..."

Chen Zhengtai said with a stern face: "It's Erpigou."

Li Shi glared at Chen Zhengtai: "A man from Erpigou County, this is His Highness Sui'an Princess, and he is not happy to greet him."

Princess……

But I saw the pink and tender princess still sitting with her back, but looked very restrained. It was obvious that she rarely saw any strangers on weekdays. She sat upright and waited for Chen Zhengtai to greet her.

At this time, there were many princesses in the Tang Dynasty, and the most famous ones were naturally Princess Changle, Princess Gaoyang, and as many as ten other princesses with clear vision.

This is still counted, because in addition to the current emperor's daughter, the emperor Li Yuan also has many daughters, especially after the Supreme Emperor abdicated, although he was 60 years old, he was very eager to create a human being. In the rest of his life, he gave birth to dozens of children.

Of course, Chen Zhengtai was not interested in studying the fact that he had a baby.

Seeing Princess Sui'an's restrained look, he smiled faintly and said, "Oh, it turns out that she is a junior sister, she is disrespectful, disrespectful."

Princess Sui'an: "..."

The Lix, who was standing aside, pulled his face and wanted to say something.

"I don't know what's wrong with the junior sister coming here."

Princess Sui'an had never seen anything. When she saw Chen Zhengtai talking, she was so scared that she was scared. She glanced at Lishi and seemed at a loss. She said, "I... I'm here to ask for a teacher... No, I'm asking for a male cooking skill in Erpigou County."

Cooking skills?

Chen Zhengtai smiled: "What should I do when I learn this?"

"I...I..."

"Oh, I understand." Chen Zhengtai seemed to understand something: "Is it the recipe I offered? My teacher said it was OK after eating it. My junior sister, like me, is filial, so she wants to learn some cooking skills from me to win the favor of her teacher?"

Princess Sui'an looked very weak, but she had to admire Chen Zhengtai's ability to understand people's hearts, so she had to nod and nodded quietly.

Chen Zhengtai raised his eyebrows and cheered up. His favorite thing was to flatter. No, filial people, this is fate. Chen Zhengtai glanced at the annoying eunuch, "Junior sister, can you speak with a step?"

"Hmm?" Princess Sui'an blinked, looking puzzled.

The eunuch heard the voice-over and had to say, "Your Highness, I'm waiting outside." As he said that, he tiptoed away.

Only two senior and sisters were left in the hall. Princess Sui'an seemed even more cramped. She pursed her lips slightly, lowered her head and looked at her slender jade hands that were unnatural no matter how she put them.

Chen Zhengtai looked at her: "Junior sister, we are all smart people, so I'll just say it, who is the biological mother of the junior sister?"

"This...I..."

After all, Chen Zhengtai is Li Er's disciple and is an apprentice. It is very reasonable to check his teacher's household registration completely.

He continued to look at Princess Sui'an: "I heard that the junior sister's biological mother is the concubine..."

There is only one in the world who is so unafraid of death. He exposes the humble status of his biological mother.

The little girl won't be angry, right?
