Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao silently went back to Chongwen Museum.

Two days later, just when she was about to collect her things and go home, Bai Shan ran out of the room out of breath, went straight into her room, stared at her with bright eyes and said, "I'm listening to Zhan's affairs today. The people in the government said that the Ministry of Rites gave your father and mother a formal seal."

Man Bao directly sprayed the water he hadn't swallowed in his mouth, and then coughed violently, "Who? It's a seal, isn't it a gift?"

"Your father's bequest is higher than yours. Do you need to use your official position to give the gift? Of course, it's for Uncle Zhou and the others."

Man Bao was stunned and shouted, "I, I didn't give a gift to the Ministry of Rites."

After a pause, Bai Shan ignored her words and said, "I heard from the people in Zhan Shifu that the official of the Ministry of Rites who submitted the letter is from His Royal Highness Prince, and the book has been sent to the Zhongshu Province. The side actually responded, and now Zhezi is in the province under the door."

As long as it passes the review of the provincial government and gets to the Ministry of Rites, it is 80 percent of the time.

Bai Shan looked at Man Bao, and Man Bao also looked up at Bai Shan.

There are not many official seals in this dynasty, although it is only a false name, and there is no money to take it. At most, the court will send some clothes and fabrics every season, or when there is a big happy event in the Chinese New Year and festivals, the court will give something as a reward. Things like pots and pans.

But this false name sounds very good, which greatly satisfies the self-esteem of officials and those who have received official titles, and their status also rises rapidly.

Regardless of the fact that officials can apply for their mothers and wives, very few applications pass.

Because those who do not have outstanding achievements, those who do not have great graces, and those who do not work hard and make great achievements will not be awarded.

The first type is mostly seen in military generals who have made great achievements on the battlefield, such as Yin Li and Li Shangshu; the second type is mostly in the imperial family; the third is that he has been in the civil service for many years, and suddenly he has not made great contributions. , Small credits are accumulated continuously, such as Kong Jijiu.

Man Bao is not at all at present. She still wants to apply for her parents after she has learned medical skills, become famous all over the world, and saved countless lives. Unexpectedly, the prince will let her go through the back door at this time.

At this time, Man Bao had a passion to die for his confidant, and said with tears in his eyes: "His Royal Highness is really kind to me."

Bai Shan took out a handkerchief and wiped the water from the corner of her mouth, nodded and said, "It's good, the prince is bribing you."

Man Bao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Forget it, I won't do bad things with him. We should not let this complicated relationship go."

Bai Shan thinks she is lazy, but the benefits given by the prince are indeed just right, he must not know, this is in the hands of Man Bao and the old Zhou family.

There are not many people in the Great Jin Dynasty, and they can still enter the palace from time to time to attend a banquet, talk to the queen, etc. Although they have no real power, their status is not generally high.

Man Bao is a rank five, just stuck at the point where it can be sealed.

If she applied, the Ministry of Rites would probably not give it, but if the prince applied, the Ministry of Rites would have to look at the prince's face.

The prince's people in the Ministry of Rites were also obedient and knew that ordinary applications might not be given. Therefore, the application focused on the righteousness and benevolence of Zhou Jin and his wife. Man raised an adult, although his family is so difficult, but he can still read and write for Zhou Man, which has cultivated such an excellent talent for the court...

Man Bao was sore when he read the book, but his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites were able to write it down without changing his face, and Man Bao admired him very much.

The imperial court has always liked to commend righteous men, filial sons, and virtuous women in order to convey a value and educate the people. The behavior of Zhou Jin and his wife should obviously be commended.

Although Zhou Man is not their biological daughter, they were raised by them. Now that she is an official, she also has the heart to apply for her parents' appointment, so why didn't the court take the opportunity to commend her?

When Zhezi arrived at Zhongshu Province, he naturally arrived before the emperor.

He heard that this book was written by the prince's person, and Zhou Man himself didn't know it. He thought about it carefully, although he didn't know whether the prince's move was to bribe Zhou Man, or to beat the end of the princes, the king of Yizhou, or Is it both, or draw a circle on it with a pen.

The emperor agreed, and Zhongshusheng naturally had no opinion, so he handed the book to Menxiasheng.

Wei Zhi had been to Qili Village, and he had also seen Zhou Man, who was naive at the time, and he had also seen Zhou's family. batch.

The next day, when he entered the palace for the Xiaochao meeting, Wei Zhi called the matter back, and he said to the emperor: "Although the righteousness of Zhou Jin and his wife is worthy of commendation, Zhou Man's achievements are shallow and not enough to be conferred."

The emperor didn't care much about a formal seal, and heard the words: "This is the application of the prince."

Wei Zhi said to the prince: "His Royal Highness, why don't you wait for Zhou Man to accumulate enough merits before commending him?"

The prince said: "Zhou Man healed Gu and his father before, isn't this enough to commend?"

"It is the responsibility of the imperial physician to heal His Majesty. It is the credit of the entire imperial hospital, not her alone. Zhou Man also acknowledges this."

In terms of words, no one can really say that Wei Zhi, and he did not say that he would not be sealed, but clearly stated that it was not the time, and Zhou Man's achievements were not enough. If her parents were sealed, other officials' applications How to say?

The prince frowned. He didn't quarrel with Wei Zhi on this issue again. After the court, the prince couldn't help but go to Wei Zhi, "Why is Lord Wei stuck on this matter?"

No one has any opinion, because this does not involve anyone's interests, it is just a false name, less than one-tenth of what Zhou Yin bequeathed last year.

Wei Zhi glanced at the prince and said, "Your Highness, holding your son is like killing a son, if you are really good to Zhou Man, you shouldn't see her alone, there is the whole Zhou family behind her, and she is still in the Zhou family. There are six brothers and one sister."

The prince raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled.

Wei knows: "His Royal Highness, running a family is like running a country, and running a country is like flying a kite. If you want it to fly farther and higher, it must be tight and loose. If you just let it go, the kite will fall when the wind blows. , by then the line in your hand has already loosened, and if you can't tighten it for a while, the kite can only fall to pieces."

The prince was stunned.

Wei Zhi was also one of the prince's lecture teachers. Seeing that he had listened in, he nodded slightly and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The prince thought about it all the way, and when he returned to the East Palace, he saw Man Bao waiting for him with his legs crossed while eating snacks. When she saw him coming back, she immediately jumped up and ran over, gave a hasty salute and said, "His Royal Highness, you Has the fold been beaten back?"

Prince: What should I do if I'm a little embarrassed?

Man Bao knew when he saw his expression, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, let's put a little pressure on this matter, don't apply for it yet."

The prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, don't you want to be sealed?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I think about it, I still think about it now, but my husband said that it is too much, and now it may not be a good thing for my family to be sealed."
