Chapter 318: Conferred the title of Marquis and appointed as a general

Soon, Ning Ruolan asked someone to bring up the beer and poured a glass for each person. Everyone looked at the white foam in the glass and were very curious. Could this thing be broken? Could it really be drinkable?

When everyone was undecided, Ah Qi held the wine glass and handed it to Su Jin: "Would you like to try it?"

Su Jin nodded and said, "The moves you taught me saved my life. I should toast you with this glass of wine!"

After saying that, he handed the wine glass over. Ah Qi did not refuse and took it. He poured another glass for Su Jin. Su Jin raised his lips and the two clinked glasses.

No one was shy about anyone else. Su Jin was frank and Ah Qi was also frank. The children around them all looked at them and no one said anything.

As the saying goes, a gentleman is open and honest, while a villain is always worried and worried.

Su Jin, very frank.

"ha!"

After taking a big gulp of iced beer, Su Jin's facial features twisted. Just when everyone was wondering if the beer tasted bad, Su Jin shouted, "Great!"

happy?

Everyone laughed and felt happy, so it must be delicious, right?

Then everyone started to taste the wine with laughter.

There is liquor, but new things like beer are also very popular. After all, drinking, for people who drink, is a delicious thing.

The meal was a delight. The spiciness of the chili peppers, the numbness of the Sichuan peppercorns, and the aroma of the beer, all these flavors intertwined together, made Su Jin feel as if he had returned to the era when he lived in.

The lights are bright, the wine is drunk, the life is extravagant.

Su Jin drank too much.

The beer made by Ning Ruolan had a high alcohol content, and Su Jin was not a heavy drinker, so he soon lost consciousness.

Seeing his mother's face flushed and she leaned on Ah Qi with her eyes closed, Gu Zixuan stood up, pushed Ah Qi away, and directly picked up Su Jin sideways.

"Mother is drunk, so we won't bother her."

After the training in the Northwest battlefield, Gu Zixuan was very strong. Now he was holding Su Jin, as relaxed and easy as holding a child.

Ah Qi looked at Gu Zixuan, a man of such strength, with envy and yearning in his eyes.

If he had not been injured, there would definitely be traces of him killing enemies left on the land of the northwest, right?

"Okay, wait a minute."

Ning Ruolan smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet. One of you has become a first-rank general, and the other will soon be able to get the sixth place. You are amazing."

Gu Zixuan nodded, and Gu Zilu also stood up and saluted. The group walked out openly. Gu Zixuan was holding the person and preparing to get in the car, but he heard the person in his arms whispering: "Su Jin... I haven't done anything wrong to you..."

Gu Zixuan's heart trembled suddenly, and he subconsciously looked down at the person in his arms.

Su Jin was sleeping soundly. Shi Er smiled and stretched out his hand to grab something. Shi Er frowned and pushed him away with both hands. Gu Suiyu behind him said, "Brother, why don't you get in the car?"

Gu Zixuan finally reacted and reached out to gently put Su Jin into the car.

The eyes that had been trained on the battlefield were alert and sharp. He glanced across Su Jin's face, but in the end he said nothing. He just turned his head quietly, got off the car, and then climbed back on the horse.

The reins were pulled up, and the boy's voice was low and hoarse: "Go back home!"

At the command, the carriage moved forward slowly.

Upstairs, Ning Ruolan looked at the carriage going away with some envy in her eyes.

There were too many scumbags in her own backyard, and she had a hard life. But fortunately, she worked hard to live the life she has now. On the contrary, Su Jin's life was good. After leaving Yong'an Marquis Mansion, she lived a carefree and comfortable life. It was really great.

Well, Su Jin’s present is her future goal, so she should work hard.

Thinking of this, she turned around and walked back.

The appearance of Chili allowed Ning Ruolan and Gu Suiyu to earn a large sum of money.

Ning Ruolan also gave some of the seeds to Su Jin, and Su Jin did not take them for nothing. He directly took out six thousand taels of silver and gave them to her.

Six thousand taels may seem like a lot, but Ning Ruolan used all her connections, manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and spent more than a year to get the peppers back. Six thousand taels is not enough for such a small amount of seeds. After all, there is no demand for them.

After getting the pepper seeds, Su Jin planted them in her own yard herself. She was worried about letting others plant them, after all, no one knew how to do this. Then she called Tian Erniu over and asked her to watch and learn. When the seeds were produced, she asked Tian Erniu to take them back to Tian Laozhong to plant.

Su Jin was enjoying the benefits brought by Ning Ruolan with peace of mind. One can only say that the woman is indeed amazing.

In addition to the seeds, Ning Ruolan also gave her some dried chilies. Now, when the weather gets hot, she can make spicy mixed vegetables. It is cool and goes well with rice. Just thinking about it makes her drool.

Not long after, the emperor's edict came down.

Because of their contributions in saving the emperor, Yin Zhengnan was granted the title of Marquis Dingyuan, with a fief of 1,000 households, and Gu Zixuan was granted the title of Duke Huguo, with a fief of 2,000 households. However, because Gu Zixuan had to observe mourning, he would officially take office three years later.

In other words, although Gu Zixuan stays at home every day, he is already the Duke of Protectorate with a fief of 2,000 households.

Moreover, this title is even higher than that of Mr. Gu Zhao. What does this mean?

This shows that Gu Zixuan is better than Gu Zhao. More importantly, Gu Zixuan did not inherit the title, but set up his own business.

When the emperor's edict came down, he also gave the two houses together. The door plaques of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion and the Marquis of Dingyuan's Mansion were hung high. Yin Zhengnan naturally moved in with great fanfare. Gu Zixuan knelt down to thank the emperor for the edict, but did not move in. He only hired maids and servants to clean and guard the place, waiting to finish his mourning three years later and move in after he really took office.

The people in the capital were even more excited because of this. Many of them formed groups and ran to the doors of the two marquises to check in, to see the grandeur of the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion and the style of the Huguo Duke's Mansion. They would even take their sons to talk with facts and educate them with plaques.

"Look, the Duke of Protectorate was a playboy when he was young, uneducated and even married a prostitute. But he has turned over a new leaf, and now he has become the Duke of Protectorate at a young age thanks to his military achievements. You must learn from him!"

As the parents educated him from time to time, the son humbly accepted their teachings and vowed to become a man like the Duke of Protector of the Country!

"I can only say that the girls of the Hexi Su family are really good at disciplining their children!"

"That's right. If they were still in the Duke's Mansion, all three children would have been disabled. Didn't we say that at the Grace Banquet? The deceased Master Gu didn't care at all and allowed the concubine to bully the legitimate children!"

"Humph, following an incompetent person will only make you useless!"

Everyone was talking about it. They had thought that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion would be able to regain its former glory thanks to Gu Zixuan's military achievements, but instead of waiting for its own glory, it became even more depressed.

Because Gu Zixuan did not inherit the title, this great honor had nothing to do with them. Instead, it all became Su Jin's education and dedication.

Zou, who was lying on the bed and still drinking medicine, trembled with anger when she heard about this.

Why, didn’t the Marquisate make any sacrifice?

joke!
