"Haha! Not bad, not bad! You're already a Marquis at such a young age. You're even more promising than I was back then! "
After the morning court session, Cheng Yaojin patted Li Zexuan's shoulder and laughed heartily.
"Uncle Cheng, you must be joking. Compared to you, I'm still far behind! I was born in an era of peace. If I was born in your era, I definitely wouldn't have been as successful as you! "
Li Zexuan's half-true and half-false words made Cheng Yaojin burst with joy. "Haha! That's true. Back then, the world was in turmoil. The eighteen rebellious princes all had their own armies. The people had no way to make a living. I fought left and right, and finally, I was able to become His Majesty's subordinate and conquer the world together! "
Cheng Yaojin stroked his beard as he spoke, looking as if he was reminiscing. What a scene of a hero in his twilight years, reminiscing about the past!
Li Zexuan almost vomited blood. He thought to himself, Old Cheng is really good at pretending. There's no end to it! I'd better slip away quickly and go home to hug my wife!
"Uncle Cheng, your generation really didn't have it easy! Ahem, I still have something to do at home. I'll take my leave first. I'll treat you to a drink some other day! "
After waiting for so long, he finally got a Marquis. He was eager to go home and share this good news with his wife and parents. He didn't want to talk nonsense with Old Cheng here!
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips and said, "Heh, then you go first! Xiao Xuan, you've been made a Marquis. You should go back and celebrate! Of course, this old man will definitely go and eat your celebratory wine ~! Oh, right, Second Brother Qin still doesn't know that you've become a Marquis, right? Since it's my day off tomorrow, I'll go to the academy in the afternoon and tell him the good news. I'll also give those kids another round of special training! "
At the mention of special training, the old demon's eyes immediately lit up, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Li Zexuan couldn't help but mourn for the students of Yanhuang College in his heart. The old demon is here. Your good days are coming to an end! A new round of brutality was about to begin!
"Cough, cough! Uncle Cheng, you've really put a lot of thought into this. The students will definitely be grateful to you ~! I'll go back first! "
Li Zexuan said some polite words and then ran away. As for whether the students would be grateful to Old Cheng, even if he used his butt to think, he knew that they definitely wouldn't!
.....
"Old Master, Old Madam, Young Madam, this is great news! Young Master has been conferred the title of Marquis! "
At the first courtyard of Cloud Mountain, Li Zexuan still hadn't returned home, but San Bao had already rushed into the courtyard while shouting loudly.
If it were any other day, he would definitely be reprimanded for being so rash and noisy. But today, there was too much information in his words. Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li, who had heard the news, couldn't help but be stunned.
"What? San Bao, you said that Xuan 'er has been conferred the title of Marquis? "
Li Jingmo's old face was flushed red with excitement. He looked at San Bao and asked with a trembling voice.
Of course, he hoped that San Bao was telling the truth, but he was afraid that he had misheard and rejoiced for nothing.
Madam Li and Han Yuxi also looked at San Bao with hopeful expressions.
"Yes, it's true! Old Master! Young Master has really been conferred the title of Marquis Yong 'an, personally conferred by His Majesty, with 600 households! It's all over Chang 'an now! Everyone is saying that Young Master is the youngest Marquis since the establishment of the Tang Empire ~! "
San Bao wasn't nervous at all as this was the first time he had become the center of attention. Or perhaps his excitement had diluted the nervousness in his heart, and he spoke loudly with excitement.
"It's true, it's actually true ~! Madam, Xuan 'er has become a Marquis, Xuan' er is promising ~! "
Li Jingmo was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted. He held his wife's hands and said excitedly.
He used to be a businessman. Although he didn't lack in food and drink, the status of businessmen was low since ancient times. Even his descendants couldn't enter the imperial court as officials! He had only hoped that his son would be able to live a safe and healthy life. He had never thought that his son would one day become an official!
However, ever since Li Zexuan returned from Longhu Mountain, he had given him too many surprises. First, he was conferred the title of Marquis, then he was promoted to Third Grade Crown Prince Zhan Shi, and now, he had become a Marquis. All of this sounded like a dream, but reality told him that it was all real! How could Li Jingmo not be excited?
"That's great, my Xuan 'er is promising, he has become a Marquis ~!"
The excitement in Madam Li's heart was no less than Li Jingmo's. She was old and a little sentimental. At this moment, tears welled up in her eyes.
Han Yuxi stood at the side and looked at her parents-in-law silently. Her eyes were filled with joy. She was happy for her husband and for the whole family.
"Sister Yuxi, what is a Marquis? Is it delicious? Why are father and mother so happy? "
Lan 'er, the little cutie, came out of nowhere. She tugged at Han Yuxi's sleeve, looked up, and blinked her bright eyes as she asked.
Although Han Yuxi had been married to Li Zexuan for a long time, Lan 'er still called Han Yuxi Sister Yuxi and not sister-in-law. It wasn't that no one corrected her, but the little girl didn't listen to them!
"Ah ~? Lan 'er, don't talk nonsense. A Marquis isn't for eating, it's a very, very big official. In the future, Lan' er, you will be the Marquis' younger sister. No one will dare to bully you ~! "
Hearing this little cutie's innocent words, Han Yuxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She saw Li Jingmo glaring at her, as if he wanted to scold her. She quickly squatted down, stroked Lan 'er's little head, and explained gently.
"Oh, so it's brother who got promoted! When brother comes back, I'll ask him for the wedding money! "
Lan 'er suddenly understood. She shook her little head and said excitedly.
"Oh, why is it so lively today? Father, mother, wife, why are all of you here? And little sister, who are you looking for to ask for the wedding money ~? "
At this moment, Li Zexuan had already stepped through the door. When he saw the whole family in the backyard, he said with a smile.
"Of course it's for you, brother ~!"
When Lan 'er saw that Li Zexuan had returned, she quickly ran to his side and shook his arm. She said with a smile, "Brother, you've been promoted. Hurry up and give me the wedding money ~!"
Li Zexuan lowered his head and looked at his little sister's bright smiling face. He couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. Why was this the same as the children in the modern world who shouted, "Congratulations, get rich, give me the red packet"! He didn't know where the little girl learned this from.
