"Excuse me, is this Yi Feng's house?"
Soon, the county government team arrived at the entrance of Yi Feng's house and spoke to Yi Feng's mother and Yi Bai Xue in the courtyard.
"Yes, yes, is there news of Yi Feng?”Yi Fengniang hurriedly stepped forward and said with an excited expression.
"Yi Feng has made a great contribution at the front line and has been promoted to four ranks of nobility. We are here to report the good news and distribute his reward.”At this moment, the county magistrate had already dismounted and said to Yi Feng's mother with a smile.
"Congratulations, Yi Feng's mother. Your Yi Feng has made a name for himself.”
The villagers who surrounded the entrance also congratulated Yi Fengniang with smiles on their faces. Their eyes were filled with envy.
It was a pity that their family did not have a child as outstanding as Yi Feng.
"Thank you, everyone.”
Yi Feng's mother was also full of smiles as she hurriedly welcomed the county magistrate into the courtyard.
"Furen is too polite. This is Yi Feng's reward this time.”After the county magistrate entered the courtyard, he ordered people to bring up Yi Feng's rewards.
"This is the title deed to the four acres of fertile land, this is the title deed to the house, and this is four gold.”The county magistrate handed the rewards to Yi Fengniang one by one.
Yi Fengniang took it shakily, her entire heart trembling.
In ancient times, when agriculture was valued and commerce was suppressed, everyone placed great importance on the fields.
Whether it was a landlord or a noble, the first thing they thought of when they had money was to buy more land.
In this era, the land was their real estate.
Four hectares of fertile land was equivalent to several hundred acres of land. She was a woman who farmed at home. When had she ever owned so much land?
Also, that house was worth a lot of money.
The heavy four gold coins in her hands were enough for her and Yi Baixue to spend at home for several years.
As a woman, she suddenly had so much wealth. She was a little stunned.
It could be said that she had suddenly turned from an ordinary citizen to a landlord.
"Oh, right, there are still six cows.”The county magistrate continued to speak and then ordered the six cows behind the team to be driven in.
"There really is a cow!" After Yi Baixue saw the six extremely strong cows, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.
So Eldest Brother still remembered what he had promised her.
"Yi Feng also asked someone to bring a letter from home.”The county magistrate continued.
"Do you need me to read it for you?" The county magistrate added.
He knew that there weren't many literate commoners. Moreover, he also wanted to take advantage of the time when Yi Feng had just emerged to build a good relationship with Yi Feng's family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come personally.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir." Yi Fengniang did not refuse.
Then, the county magistrate read the letters to Yi Fengniang and Yi Baixue.
The content of the letter was also very ordinary. At the beginning, it asked how his mother and Yi Baixue were at home, whether his mother's illness had recovered, and so on.
Following that, Yi Feng wrote home to report that he was safe, saying that he was doing well in the army, eating well, sleeping well, and that his mother and sister did not need to worry at home.
In the end, he instructed his little sister to take good care of his mother at home. He asked his mother and little sister to take the money to buy two servants so that his mother and little sister would not have to work so hard.
After Yi Feng became a Bugeng, he was rewarded with four slave slots. This reward wasn't for four slaves, but only slots. The slaves had to be bought by themselves.
However, once a slave was bought, it was equivalent to the private property of a noble. The power of life and death was controlled by the master.
Therefore, the servants in most families were basically very loyal.
After the county magistrate finished reading the letter, Yi Fengniang was already crying like a tearful person.
Yi Feng's mother held the letter in her hands, unwilling to put it down for a long time.
"If Furen needs anything in the future, feel free to tell the three elders and the village chief in the village, or find someone to bring me a letter.”
After the county magistrate comforted Yi Fengniang, he spoke again.
"Yes, thank you, sir." Yi Fengniang wiped her tears and nodded to the county magistrate with a grateful expression.
When the villagers surrounding Yi Feng's house saw this, each and every one of them had envious looks on their faces. In the entire village, perhaps only Yi Feng's house could be treated like this by the county magistrate.
After the county magistrate exchanged a few words with Yi Fengniang, he led the team to Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhao Xiaohu, and Sun Xiaoyu's house.
Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhao Xiaohu, and Sun Xiaoyu, who had received the news and rewards, were all excited and excited. Their families had finally produced a person with a noble title.
Although it was only the lowest rank of a duke, it was still something that countless people could not obtain even if they fought to the death.
Therefore, to them, Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu obtaining the title of Duke was definitely something that brought honor to their ancestors.
Moreover, they had also obtained a plot of fertile land and a house, as well as a servant and money.
This was definitely a huge fortune for an ordinary citizen.
Their three families had also lived a miserable life in the past, and they could only barely not starve to death.
Now that they had received this reward, their family's life would be greatly improved. At least they would not have to worry about starving in the future.
In this era, it was already a blessing for ordinary people not to starve.
At the same time, they received letters from Xiao San, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu.
In the letters at home, Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu all mentioned Yi Feng. They all said that it was all thanks to Yi Feng that they were able to make contributions this time.
Therefore, after Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu's parents sent off the group that came to report the good news, they immediately brought gifts and came to Yi Feng's house.
However, when they rushed to Yi Feng's house, Yi Feng's courtyard was already surrounded by people.
There were villagers, people from nearby villages, and even many distant relatives who came out of nowhere.
The news team had been beating drums and gongs, making a great fanfare all the way here. The news that Yi Feng had been conferred a rank 4 noble had already spread throughout the villages, so much so that everyone in the villages knew about it.
Therefore, those who knew Yi Feng's parents all came to congratulate him.
There were even many distant relatives that even Yi Feng's mother didn't know.
It was true that no one asked about the poor in the streets, but the rich had distant relatives in the mountains.
Of course, there were also matchmakers from all over the country who came to ask Yi Feng if he had decided on a marriage or something.
Once they heard that Yi Feng had yet to mention marriage, those matchmakers began to spit out lotus flowers from their mouths, introducing girls to Yi Feng's mother.
If Yi Feng was present, he would have thought that he had met a door-to-door salesperson from his previous life.
The enthusiasm of these people made Yi Feng's mother feel a little helpless. She had never seen such a big scene where the door was as crowded as a market. For a moment, she did not know what to do.
"Yi Fengniang, congratulations!"
Uncle Shan, Aunt Shan, Uncle Hu, Aunt Hu, and the others squeezed in with great difficulty and congratulated Yi Fengniang.
"Xiao Shan's parents, Xiao Hu's parents, Xiao Yu's mother, we're all happy.”Yi Fengniang said to Uncle Shan, Aunt Shan and the others with a smile.
After Yi Feng left, Uncle Shan, Aunt Shan, Uncle Hu, Aunt Hu, and the others took good care of their family. Therefore, they were closer to Uncle Shan, Aunt Shan, Uncle Hu, and Aunt Hu.
"Yi Feng's mother, our Xiao Shan and Xiao Hu said that they were able to contribute this time all thanks to your Yi Feng.”
Uncle Shan, Uncle Hu, and the others looked at Yi Fengniang gratefully.
"That's right, in the future, I'll have to rely on your Yi Feng to help take care of me.”Aunt Shan and Aunt Hu also spoke up from the side.
"Yeah, our Xiao Yu also wrote home and said that his meritorious service this time was all thanks to your Yi Feng.”
Little Yu's mother also spoke up.
"Yi Feng's mother, my family also has a child in the army. His name is Wang Si, and he just joined the army this year. I don't know if your Yi Feng knows him.”
"My family also has two children in the army. They just joined the army this year. They are called Da Niu and Er Niu. They might be in the same team. If your Yi Feng meets them, please help take care of them.”
......
When the people in Yi Feng's courtyard heard Uncle Shan and the others 'words, they were all shocked in their hearts. After which, they spoke one after another.
This time, only four people from the nearby villages had been promoted to nobility. They were Yi Feng, Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu. They didn't expect Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu's promotion to nobility to be related to Yi Feng. All of them couldn't remain calm.
Who didn't want their children to make contributions on the battlefield, be conferred titles, and bring glory to their ancestors?
Instantly, the way these people looked at Yi Fengniang changed, and everyone became extremely passionate.
"This, I also can't contact Yi Feng. When Yi Feng comes back next time, I'll definitely tell Yi Feng.”Yi Fengniang was at a loss.
"This is Yi Feng's little sister, right? How old is she?”
Those matchmakers saw that Yi Feng was not at home, so they started to have ideas about Yi Feng's younger sister.
In any case, Yi Feng Niang finally understood that these people were all trying to get involved with the Yi Feng family.
"She's still young." Yi Fengniang tactfully refused.
"She's already eleven years old. She's not young anymore. When I was her age, I was already married.”
"Xue 'er's marriage is still decided by her brother.”Yi Fengniang declined again.
......
Only when it was very late did those people slowly leave.
Yi Fengniang and Yi Baixue finally heaved a sigh of relief.
However, after this incident, Yi Feng's family had become the true aristocrats of this region.
Xiao Shan, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Yu were also getting closer to Yi Feng's family. In other words, they were all tied together with Yi Feng's family.
If Yi Feng's mother or Yi Bai Xue had any problems, they only needed to say a word, and Uncle Shan, Uncle Hu, and the others would immediately help without hesitation. In fact, Yi Feng's family matters were even more important than their family matters.
