The whole family travels through time: escape from famine! No cheat codes yet!

Chapter 592 The imperial edict arrives, bestowing the title!

However, no one expected that on the second day after the workshop was closed, which was also the second day after the new emperor ascended the throne, Tangjia Village received the imperial edict issued by the new emperor.

It was the imperial decree from the new emperor conferring the title of nobility upon Shen Zhiqiu.

The team announcing the decree headed straight for Tangjia Village, and of course, Magistrate He of Fang County also came along.

When the people of the Nine Clans and Tangjia Village saw the eunuch delivering the imperial edict again, they were already able to kneel down skillfully and receive the imperial edict.

The general meaning of the imperial edict was that Shen Zhiqiu was a good citizen and a talented person, who updated farming tools for the northern border and provided new marching supplies to support the northern expedition.

Even Shen Zhiqiu himself ignored many of the compliments that came before. He wanted to understand what kind of official position he was being asked to hold that required such a big fuss.

He felt a little guilty, so the eunuch muttered: "Confer the title of Loyalty Earl on Shen Zhiqiu, and grant him a fief of 700 households and 1,000 acres of permanent farmland. This is my decree."

Shen Zhiqiu just realized, oh my god, he became an earl by accident.

The people of the Nine Clans and Tangjia Village were so excited. They didn't expect that he would be an earl. This is a title of nobility.

You should know that the title of earl can be passed down from father to son, and even to grandson or even more distant descendants.

Inherit the glory and pass it on from generation to generation.

How can everyone not be excited?

This honor is not only a recognition of Shen Zhiqiu, but also a high affirmation of his contributions.

Both the nine clans and the people of Tangjia Village are proud of him.

But Shen Youyou was shocked that the emperor actually directly granted him the title of earl.

In fact, she had thought that after the Northern Expedition, her father might get some rewards. At that time, she felt a little regretful because of her father's resignation.

After all, you are still an official in the Warehouse Office, so you might be promoted directly.

But now he is nothing but a scholar. Maybe the reward he will get in time may be land or money, after all, his father wants to take the imperial examination.

As for the title of nobility, I really dare not even think about it. What are you thinking about?

Do you really think that the titles in ancient times were as cheap as cabbages and so good to be had?

So things happened too suddenly, and she was a little confused. What was going on? Would her father still be able to pass the imperial examination? Why was he given the title of earl at this time?

Are you planning to keep it as an idle thing?

If that were the case, she really didn't want her father to be the count.

However, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict explained to Shen Zhiqiu that he would hand over 1,000 mu of permanent farmland to Magistrate He the next day.

The land will be planned near Tangjia Village, and from now on, the Earl of Loyalty will enjoy the fiefdom of Tangjia Village, Yangjia Village, and 700 households, that is, their taxes.

Furthermore, the new emperor also bestowed the Marquis of Zhongyi with the Marquis of Zhongyi’s Mansion.

In this case, Marquis Zhongyi will be asked to go to the Ministry of Revenue in the near future to hand over and claim the mansion.

Old men like Tang Guangzheng, Tang Jiugong, and Tang Sanye all knelt on the spot in shock. This meant that all the taxes they paid in the future would go into Shen Xiaosan's pocket.

Master Shen was in the crowd. He kowtowed sincerely to the imperial edict. When he raised his head, his vision was blurred.

He knew it, he knew it, for their Shen family, to have a third son would be an honor for several lifetimes.

Old Man Shen has always been a man who can keep his composure, but at this moment, he was trembling all over and couldn't believe his ears.

Of course, Old Lady Hua wasn't much better. She knelt there, lowered her head, and bit her tongue hard, only to realize that this was not a dream. She was also afraid that if she got excited, she would lash out again and embarrass San'er.

After realizing that she was not dreaming, she kowtowed again, tears of excitement falling from her eyes.

The old lady's mind was filled with what she heard San'er say that day: to be an official, one had to endure other people's bullying, but now, her son was an earl.

That is the third rank of Earl among Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron!

Li Jingshu was kneeling in a position closer to the middle, with his daughter next to him, both of them had smiles on their faces.

In fact, when we knelt down and looked at each other, we were thinking:

"See? Your father has become a count. You have even more reason not to study. I think all those books and test questions you copied before will be in vain."

"Don't worry, I won't copy them for nothing. Even if I don't take the imperial examination, I will teach my father all these things.

What if the emperor thinks my father is a talented person and gives him an important position?

After all, we have to have some knowledge in our stomachs. We can’t just keep wandering around like this.”

However, the mother and daughter did not have much chance to exchange glances, because the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict also gave Shen Zhiqiu a gift.

The four treasures of the study bestowed by the emperor.

This gift also carries a heavy meaning, saying that Shen Zhiqiu can continue to take part in the imperial examination.

I am waiting for you in the court, waiting for you to pass the imperial examination and make suggestions in the Golden Palace.

It's true, the eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch also came with a mission, which was to observe Shen Zhiqiu's expression.

It turned out that although Shen Zhiqiu seemed calm and composed, his hands were actually shaking when he received the gift.

The eunuch who delivered the decree nodded with satisfaction: "This is touching."

Shen Zhiqiu is the type who really doesn't want to take on this hot potato. Why does he have to take the imperial examination after having the title?

Is there anyone in the world who is as miserable as him?

When he heard that he had become a earl, he was most happy because no one could say that his only way out was to take the imperial examination. But in the end, the emperor allowed him to continue taking the imperial examination?

But only his wife and daughter knew Shen Zhiqiu's sadness; other clansmen and villagers could not understand it at all.

After sending away the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict,

Shen Youyou felt that the moment she and her mother looked at each other and smiled, the tribesmen and villagers all rushed towards Shen Zhiqiu with smiles on their faces.

Oh my god, this scene is even worse than the last time Tangjia Village was set up as a military supply village.

"Uncle, the loyal and righteous uncle."

Shen Youyou watched helplessly as his father was knocked down by several old men.

If the others were not afraid of hurting the old men, the newly crowned Earl of Loyalty would have been crushed into a pie on his first day as an earl, it was simply too exciting.

In fact, the three most excited people, Grandpa Shen, Old Man Shen, and Old Lady Hua, were already hugging Shen Zhiqiu and crying, tears of excitement.

There are also his elder brother Shen Zhichun and younger brother Shen Zhidong. They both really want to be close to their brothers. Even if they can't hug their shoulders, at least they can pat them on the shoulder.

Unfortunately, they really couldn't reach it, so the two of them and the eldest brother-in-law Wang Fuxi could only smile and look at him with red eyes.

As for the eldest sister Shen Zhixia, she couldn't reach Shen Zhiqiu, but she could reach Shen Youyou.

Everyone among their relatives knows this: it's all thanks to Youyou.

So when Shen Youyou was hugged by her aunt, she felt hot tears wetting her shoulders.

In fact, she and her mother are the calmest of all people.

It's not that they are unhappy, but they may not have a deep sense of the glory of the earldom that has been passed down from generation to generation in everyone's hearts.

Their modern concept is to live in the present.

Because it was like in the previous life, the foundation built by her father, the family savings, the car and the house, all went down the drain.

Traveling through ancient times, with the exception of an extra life's worth of memories.

Nothing is useful.
