The people in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion who were brought to the capital felt uneasy. However, since there was no massacre of the city this time, the current emperor naturally had no excuse to kill the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Moreover, because Marquis Xuanping led several of his adult sons to death in battle, leaving only one legitimate son, if he did anything else, those generals would feel like cunning rabbits died and lackeys were cooked.
Therefore, the emperor just ordered that the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion be demoted to one level and become the Xuanping Bo's Mansion.
Shiji also inherited the title of Uncle Xuanping and became an uncle.
This news made everyone in Xuan Ping's house breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Even the original Marquis and now the Countess are extremely happy because their son has inherited the title.
Although the title was lowered by one level, at the time Xuanping Hou was in charge of the palace, and there were several bastards who were about the same age as his own son. Whether Shiji could succeed to the title would also depend on Xuanping Hou's wishes.
Now his son is a confirmed uncle, and no one can look down on the mother and son anymore.
Even the old lady in the inner house, Mrs. Bo, doesn't take it seriously anymore.
After all, Marquis Xuanping is dead.
Now the people in charge of the house are her and her son.
The matter of Xuan Ping's Mansion was like a stone dropped into water, creating a circle of ripples in the capital, and then dissipated without a trace.
In particular, the people sent by the emperor to monitor the Xuanping family came back and told what happened in the Xuanping family, which made the emperor laugh for a long time.
He even lamented that he didn't expect that the son Xuan Pinghou had been brave and strong all his life, but the son he saved in the end would be such a thing.
After sighing, he put aside the matter of Xuan Pingbo's mansion and no longer let anyone monitor their family.
For the emperor, the manpower sent to monitor such a family was simply a waste.
There was also news from the secret guards who were monitoring King An. King An's inner house was in chaos, he drank and played with women every day, and he was considered useless.
Now that he no longer had Marquis Xuanping to worry about secretly colluding with Prince An, and the emperor had taken back the 300,000 troops from Marquis Xuanping, he finally felt relieved about Prince An and no longer worried.
The other party has evil intentions.
Shi Jiang quickly received the news about the affairs of Xuan Pingbo Mansion.
However, after she read the news, she threw the note into the brazier and burned it.
Looking at the vast expanse of white outside the window, it is snowing heavily outside now. If it were the past, several farmers in the tenant fields below Zhuangzi would definitely freeze to death or starve to death.
But this year in Zhuangzi, there was laughter and laughter from top to bottom.
The reason is naturally that they not only have sweet potatoes and potatoes to eat, but also the owner is kind-hearted. Every household received cotton-padded clothes for the winter, as well as the fat pigs raised in the village. After they were killed, each household received a share.
More than a pound of pork.
Although it's not a lot, it can make the whole family enjoy a good New Year.
Shi Jiang wore thermal underwear, then put on a cotton coat, and then added a down jacket outside, walking like a ball in the snow.
"Remember to focus on the farmers living in thatched huts. I'm afraid the snow will fall heavily this year. If it snows for a long time, their thatched huts may collapse. Zhuangzi has sorted out a temporary living place. If there are people living there,
If the house collapses, send them to live there, no matter what, just in case."
"Yes, Master."
Shi Jiang covered both hands in his sleeves, and there was a rubber hot water bottle inside. The outside of the hot water bottle was covered with a layer of flannel, which was just enough to cover the fur in the sleeves without burning Shi Jiang's hands.
After walking around outside and giving orders to the people below, Shi Jiang went back.
In this kind of winter, it is most comfortable to lie still and warm yourself by the fire as long as you can.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang has been in Shunan for five years.
She also went from a fifteen-year-old girl to a twenty-year-old unmarried woman.
Fortunately, there were no elders in Zhuangzi, otherwise Shi Jiang would have been forced to marry.
And Xiao Ba has now become a little bean. At the beginning of spring, he hurriedly took off his thick cotton-padded jacket and ran happily in the yard, followed by the nanny and maid who were waiting for him.
Just as Shi Jiang collapsed over the threshold and walked into the house, she saw Xiao Ba hit her leg, then was knocked backwards and fell to the ground, looking up at Shi Jiang stupidly.
.
When he found out it was the eldest sister, he immediately grinned at Shi Jiang.
"Sister, give me a hug."
He sat on the ground without getting up, and stretched out his hand directly to Shi Jiang and shouted.
Shi Jiang glanced at him sideways, then walked straight into the room and sat down on the chair at the head of the table.
"Shi Xiaoba, you told me yesterday that you were a man, and now you are sitting on the ground shouting for a hug? Is this what you call a man?"
When Xiaoba saw the elder sister not hugging her, she wanted to cry out twice to attract the elder sister's attention. Unexpectedly, she heard what the elder sister said.
Although he was young, he still had a sense of shame. He couldn't help but blush, and he climbed up from the ground without any help.
Then he walked to Shi Jiang anxiously, pushed himself hard, and sat on the chair next to Shi Jiang, with his two short legs dangling in the air.
"Sister, I am a man. You can't go back on what you promised me yesterday."
"This outing, Fang Lei is taking people to the city to discuss business. You can go with him, but you are not allowed to make your own decisions, and you are not allowed to sneak out with others."
Although Xiaoba is quite smart, he is still a child after all.
In addition, this is ancient times, and there are no such things as monitoring on the road.
If he is abducted by Hanako, there is a real possibility that he will never be found again.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I will definitely listen to Uncle Lei."
Seeing that her eldest sister had no objection to her going to Shunan City to play, Xiaoba immediately patted her chest happily and promised loudly.
Little did he know that after he followed Fang Lei out, Shi Jiang sent a group of secret guards to follow him secretly to protect him, just in case.
During the five years that Shi Jiang had been in southern Sichuan, all the wealthy households in the city knew Fang Lei as the chief steward of the Shi family.
When they saw Fang Lei entering the city, someone immediately posted a message to have a dinner at the largest restaurant in Shunan City.
Over the years, no one knows that Fang Da butler is so powerful that he can transport many good things from Jiangnan and other places that are not available in southern Shu.
When purchasing goods in Shunan, the prices offered are slightly higher than others.
This made the originally exclusive wealthy businessmen have a favorable impression of the Shi family.
After all, if the Shi family eats meat, they can also have a sip of broth, which is a mutual benefit.
This Outing Festival is a big festival in southern Sichuan. The city is decorated with lights and colorful lights, making it very lively.
Even among the mountain people hiding in the mountains, there are those who have the courage to go down to the city to play.
