Chapter 2172 Giving to People

Qu Wenliang smiled and said: "My uncle watched me grow up, but you still don't know what I am like?"

Then he looked at Xu Zhaoming and Liang Jiang: "Neither will they. We all understand that we can't take the blessings that are not our own, otherwise we will harm ourselves."

Xu Zhaoming and Liang Jiang nodded repeatedly: "Uncle Qu, don't worry, we are not jealous."

After hearing this, Qu Xiucai finally felt relieved and praised: "You are all good young people, and you will definitely succeed in the future."

"Uncle Qu, let Brother Lu enter the house first." Gu Jinan said. After Lu Bai's matter was over, he was finally able to leave the palace and came back with Lu Bai and the others.

Emperor Jingyuan also gave him five days' leave to go to Ouyang's house to meet his elders and attend Lu Bai's knighthood banquet.

Qu Xiucai said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, hurry up, let Lu Bai go back first."

Dou Shaodong's family asked Dou Meng to carry Lu Bai back to the house where he lived. After placing Lu Bai properly, he said: "Let Lu Bai rest first. If you have anything to say, we will talk about it tomorrow."

Let the big guys go back to rest.

It had been a torturous day, from hell to heaven. Everyone was very tired. After leaving Lu Bai's house, they had a quick meal and then went back to their houses to rest.

Originally, he wanted to sleep in, but the next morning, the news spread throughout the capital that Lu Bai was not dead and had been conferred an official title by the emperor.

Everyone in the capital went crazy and rushed to Dou's house on Xianning Street again.

The people on Xianning Street couldn't stop him, so they didn't stop him at all. Taking advantage of the favorable location, they took the lead in coming to Dou's house to call the door. They wanted to visit the man from Lu County, so they came with their families, and every household brought unmarried people of the right age. girl.

Those who don’t have girls at home also rush to send letters to their relatives’ homes and pick up girls from their relatives’ homes. If Lu Bai takes a fancy to him, he can get a baroness!

"Lu Xiucai... No, it's a man from Lu County. Man from Lu County, come out quickly. We are from the Chen Ju family who live across from you. My master learned that you were going to be knighted, so he brought his whole family to congratulate you!" "The Chen family's housekeeper shouted towards Dou Zhai.

There was no other way. The Dou family set up a roadblock in front of the house, and there were guards guarding it. They couldn't get in, so they could only shout, hoping that the Lu County man could hear it.

But Butler Chen shouted for a long time, but no one came out to pick them up.

Chen Juren felt that his family had been humiliated and was unhappy. He rolled up his sleeves and snorted: "Once he gained power, he became arrogant and did not even respect the elderly. I want to see how long he can be arrogant."

"Dad, please stop talking!" The uncle of the Chen family was so angry that he told him not to come if he felt embarrassed, but insisted on coming, and then got angry after following. Isn't this offending someone?

Mr. Liu, who was next to the Chen family, sneered when he heard this: "Hey, Old Chen, you are almost buried in the earth and you haven't looked away yet? You still want to put on airs, how can you at least do it? This is a lord. If you are jealous, you can't do it." Go knock on the imperial city gate, receive three arrows, and ask your Majesty to grant you a title. If you don’t have the ability, just shut up and don’t drag your children and grandchildren down!"

"Liu Dafu, you!" Chen Juren was very angry, but he knew Mr. Liu's temper and did not dare to curse out loud, so he could only hold it in.

"We're here, we're here!" A group of people rushed from behind, all carrying gifts to congratulate Lu Bai. After seeing the Chen family and Liu family, they shouted: "Those in front get out of the way, we are from Qiyang County The Lord of the Palace is here to congratulate the Qianshan County man on his knighthood, and to discuss marriage with the Qianshan County man!"

"Come to discuss marriage again? Your Qiyang County Lord's Palace is really shameless. Who doesn't know about your family's affairs? You still want to put someone into the arms of a man from Qianshan County. This is obvious. What a shame, Your Majesty!" The people from the Pingyong County Lord's Palace cursed, and then said: "Get out of the way, our Pingyong County Lord's Palace is here to congratulate the Qianshan County man on his knighthood!"

"The Yao family in bachelor's attire came to congratulate the man from Lu County."

"The Xu family, the Minister of War, came to visit the man from Lu County!"

In addition to the royal family members, many officials' families sent people to Lu Bai's door to deliver congratulatory gifts and congratulate him on his title.

Chen Juren didn't dare to put on airs when he saw so many big shots coming, and waited for the Dou family to go back and report.

Dou Shaodong's family came out in person and said to them: "The Qianshan County man is injured and cannot see guests and cannot receive gifts. Please go back and wait until the Qianshan County man recovers before visiting again."

Dou Shaodong's family didn't stay long and left after finishing their conversation.

But the big guys couldn't leave. They were blocked in Xianning Street and guarded. It wasn't until the afternoon when people from the Ministry of Rites came to take Lu Bai to the Baron's Mansion that they were cleared away by the imperial guards.

The official of the Ministry of Rites also said: "Your Majesty loves the people like his son. Although the man from Qianshan County is a noble man from a poor family, he is valued by your Majesty. In three days, there will be a knighthood banquet at the Baron's Mansion. You can go and give gifts and have a glass of water and wine."

His Majesty's decree is to hold a large-scale knighting banquet in the capital and Yujiang County, Lu Bai's hometown, so that the people of Chu can see the importance he attaches to the children of poor families. Therefore, no matter who they are, they can go to give gifts and have a feast on the day of the knighting banquet.

Mr. Liu hurriedly asked: "Sir, my family is in business, can we also go to the Baron's Mansion to have dinner?"

Scholars, peasants, industrialists, slaves, and merchants have always been excluded by the noble nobles.

The official of the Ministry of Rites nodded: "Your Majesty said that the knighthood banquet for men in Qianshan County is a feast for all the people of Chu. As long as you are from Chu, you can participate, regardless of whether you are a farmer, an industrialist or a merchant."

Except for slaves, slaves are always slaves.

Mr. Liu burst into tears when he heard this. He knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise, and the common people are grateful to Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Because he was a merchant, he had been looked down upon by the nobles all his life. Unexpectedly, he waited until the day when His Majesty valued merchants and knighted the children of poor families.

The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "Let's all go back. Don't disturb the men of Qianshan County, otherwise you will be severely punished!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at the ferocious imperial guards and did not dare to stay any longer. They all exited Xianning Street and went home.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites entered Dou's house and asked Dr. Wu, who was treating Lu Bai: "How is the health of the man from Qianshan County? May he attend the knighthood banquet in three days?"

Dr. Wu Yu said: "The health of the man from Qianshan County is not bad. If he takes good care of himself for three days, it will not be a problem to show up for the knighthood banquet. However, if he wants to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors and hold a banquet, he will need to take care of him for at least three months before he can leave. .”

After hearing this, the officials of the Ministry of Rites frowned. His Majesty was eager to let the whole Chu know that Lu Bai had won the title. He wished that Lu Bai would set off to travel all over Chu now. However, Lu Bai was indeed seriously injured and could only recuperate first.

Then he looked at Lu Bai and said, "Mr. Qianshan County, the Baron's Mansion given to you by His Majesty is in the city. There are servants, guards, and all kinds of food and supplies in the mansion, which will help you recover from your injuries. You can come back with us now." Baron’s Mansion.”

Lu Bai knew that this was Emperor Jingyuan's order and could not be disobeyed. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back to the Baron's Mansion now."

Yao Youqian and the others took leave for several days and went to the Yamen today. Only Dou Shaodong's family, Gu Jinan, Qu Xiucai and others were in the house. They were afraid that the servants of the Baron's Mansion would bully Lu Bai, so they followed Lu Bai to the Baron's Mansion.

After seeing that the servants in the Baron's Mansion were very respectful to Lu Bai, they were relieved. But what they didn't expect was that He Chengjin was actually in the Baron's Mansion.

"Why are you here? Do you want to hit Lu Bai again?!" Qu Xiucai and the others were very scared. This He Chengjin was too scary. Lu Bai was injured like this because of his own tricks.

Mou Fang came out and said: "Don't worry, He Chengjin and a hundred of his subordinates have been given to the Qianshan County man by Your Majesty. They will follow the Qianshan County man back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, hold banquets, and hunt the great Chu."
