While everyone was talking, Eunuch Liu came with a few imperial guards, several large boxes, and a bright yellow imperial edict.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
The Su family was stunned.
Why is there another imperial edict?
It is said that after Emperor Tianxi returned to the palace, he immediately sent someone to the Su family to read out the imperial edict granting marriage.
Although he had already given a verbal edict on the spot when he was in the paddock, the step of edict cannot be omitted.
The sense of ritual is also very important.
Because of this, officials of all sizes in the capital sent congratulatory gifts to the Su family.
As for those who were close to him, such as Mr. Zheng's family, they came to congratulate him.
Not long after the imperial edict granting marriage was sent, another edict came, and the Su family was naturally puzzled.
"Su Zhengyang accepts the order!" Eunuch Liu said in a sharp voice.
"I accept the order!"
Old Man Su quickly knelt down.
Other people in the yard naturally knelt down as well.
"By God's blessing, the emperor decreed that Su Zhengyang managed his family well, and his children were all the pillars of the Yan Dynasty. He was specially named the Marquis of Zhongyi. His wife, Su Lin, was a virtuous and virtuous man. He was granted the title of Mrs. Marquis of Zhongyi, and he was given a thousand taels of gold and Ruyi's jade.
A pair of…hundred hectares of fertile land, and the residence of the Marquis of Zhongyi…as a sign of honor, I admire this!”
After Eunuch Liu finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at Old Man Su with a smile on his face and said, "Master Su, please accept the edict."
Old Man Su: "..."
My head is "buzzing".
Mr. Hou?
What it is?
Is it something he can have?
Is he worthy?
Old man Su was confused.
How could he become the Marquis just sitting at home for no reason?
Although he had only received idle positions in the past, his rank was gradually rising.
Not only was Old Man Su confused, but Mrs. Su and others were also confused.
Unless someone has great meritorious deeds, who can do this?
It would be easier to say if someone had the merit of following the dragon when the country was founded.
During the Taiping years, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to become a marquis.
But, why is this the title of Marquis?
"Master Su, please accept the order." Eunuch Liu had to remind him again.
Old Man Su: "...My lord, I thank you for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live!"
Old man Su kowtowed in confusion and accepted the order.
Eunuch Liu gave the imperial edict to Old Man Su, cupped his fists, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Su."
Old Man Su was helped up by Su Laowu, and he instinctively said to Eunuch Liu: "Hahaha... we are all happy..."
He is most familiar with this operation.
Although he is still a little top-heavy, it does not prevent him from saying this.
Master Zheng came over to congratulate him with a complicated look on his face.
"Brother Su, what am I talking about? When there is a happy event in your family, you don't say it's just one event. It's like cutting leeks, one after another, continuously..."
Mr. Zheng didn't want to say it, he was sour.
He has endured for so many years and is now a genuine fifth-grade man.
Old Man Su dumped him eighteen blocks away with such ease.
No! Someone has reached the sky in one step, but he is still suffering on the ground.
King Chengen patted Old Man Su on the shoulder, laughed and said, "What Old Zheng said makes sense. The happy events in your family really happen one after another."
Old Man Su: "..."
"Hahaha... Well, in our family, isn't there my little girl?" Old Man Su said with a dry smile.
However, when Old Man Su mentioned the sugar baby, his head finally became clearer.
Isn't this the title that the little girl earned for herself?
Old man Su didn't guess correctly.
Although Emperor Tianxi did not reveal to the outside world that Tangbao had done something good in rescuing the driver in the forest, he was too embarrassed to give him the reward.
If it weren't for Tang Bao and Da Bai, let alone him, everyone he brought with him, as well as his son, would probably be eaten by wild beasts and their bones would be gone.
When the time comes, not only will Great Yan be in civil strife, but Northern Qi and Western Qin will unite, and Great Yan will probably be destroyed.
Sugar Baby has made such a great contribution and must be rewarded.
Moreover, Emperor Tianxi knew that if he did not reward him, his third son, who was outgoing, would take the initiative to ask for it.
What's more, now that Su Laowu has become the quasi-consort, the Su family's family status should also be improved.
Otherwise, people will laugh at the princess for marrying too lowly.
In fact, the most important thing is that the Empress did not hide anything about Feng Yin from Emperor Tianxi.
Emperor Tianxi learned that the Phoenix Seal was given to the Queen by Tangbao, and his gratitude to Tangbao was unparalleled.
The appearance of Feng Yin not only solved his dilemma, but also made him extremely proud.
Tangbao, a little girl, is already the princess.
Moreover, he still owes Tang Bao the title of princess.
Therefore, Emperor Tianxi simply made Old Man Su the Marquis of Zhongyi with a stroke of his pen.
As a result, the Su family's family status has become higher, and they are barely qualified to be in-laws with the royal family.
As for whether it would cause controversy, Emperor Tianxi didn't care for the time being.
As an emperor, could it be possible for him to grant a title to his in-laws and promote them, and then have to look at the looks of his ministers?
If it weren't for the fear that he would not be able to raise the title in the future, Emperor Tianxi would have wanted to directly grant the Su family a royal title.
Naturally, Old Man Su didn't know these things.
However, it does not prevent him from thinking about sugar babies.
Besides his little daughter, who else can earn him a title?
As soon as Mr. Zheng heard Mr. Su talking about sugar babies, he immediately felt convinced.
It can no longer be sour!
With such a blessed girl like Fu Ya, it is natural that she can get promoted and make a fortune just by sitting at home!
Old man Su looked towards the sugar baby.
Sugar Baby said with a smile: "Congratulations to Daddy, Daddy is now a Marquis. Let's go burn incense to my grandfather and grandmother some other day and tell them about it."
When Old Man Su heard this, he didn't care how he got this title, and immediately smiled.
"Okay, let's go burn incense for your grandparents!"
Ouch! He finally shines!
Moreover, now that he has a title, his little girl will be the Marquis’s daughter.
From now on, when the little girl talks about getting married, let’s see who dares to talk about the Su family’s lintel!
Old man Su felt that his back was much straighter!
Mr. Zheng looked at Sugar Baby and then at his son.
Suddenly, I felt that my son was like a toad wanting to eat swan meat...
Bah, bah, bah! My son is so fat, so he is not a toad.
but--
Lord Zheng sighed secretly.
Otherwise, let your son come to the princess's mansion less often in the future.
Tangbao looked at Mrs. Su again.
"Congratulations, mother, you will be Mrs. Hou from now on." Tangbao was absolutely considerate to the little cotton-padded jacket, "Let's go burn incense to grandpa and grandma another day and tell them the good news."
"Okay." Mrs. Su smiled and nodded.
However, he was not as happy as Old Man Su.
Mrs. Su thinks more.
The emperor suddenly gave such a generous reward. Could it be that he was playing tricks on his little girl?
Could it be that the emperor really wanted his little girl to get married, so he praised the Su family so much?
You must know that the status of the natal family of the princess who is marrying cannot be too low.
When Mrs. Su thought of this, a flash of worry flashed in her eyes.
At this time, the servants of the princess's palace, under the orders of the steward, ran over to tell each other.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis! Congratulations, madam!" The servants congratulated in unison.
Anyway, these days, they have rehearsed things like congratulations very neatly.
"Hahaha... rewards! There are rewards for many rewards!" Old Man Su waved his hand.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis! Thank you, madam!" the servants shouted happily.
They are really lucky to be able to work in the princess's mansion.
In just a short period of time, the masters had many happy events, and they had already received several times the reward!
For a time, the entire Princess Mansion felt like celebrating the New Year, with a festive atmosphere permeating every corner.
